                                        - 6 -                                         
          management duties in the Chicago Operation included the approval            
          of new restaurant locations, supervising the construction of new            
          restaurants, and the hiring and training of their employees.  As            
          of November 1969, the Chicago Operation directly operated 37                
          Burger King restaurants and was subfranchisor of 29 other                   
          Chicago-area Burger King restaurants.                                       
               In 1970, after a corporate reorganization of the Chicago               
          Operation, FIC sold its interest in the Chicago Operation to                
          Self-Service Restaurants (Self-Service), a publicly traded Burger           
          King franchisee.  In exchange for all of FIC's shares in the                
          Chicago Operation, FIC received shares of Self-Service common               
          stock that FIC later sold for approximately $222,000, as well as            
          Self-Service's promissory note in the principal amount of                   
          $868,500.  Following the sale, Robert was employed by Self-                 
          Service to assist during the period of transition to Self-Service           
          management.                                                                 
               In 1971, Robert terminated his employment with Self-Service.           
          Robert remained in Chicago, where he managed five Burger King               
          restaurants that he owned directly, and participated in the                 
          management of six Burger King restaurants in Milwaukee,                     
          Wisconsin, in whose corporate franchisee he had acquired a 27-              
          percent stock interest.                                                     
               In 1973, FIC purchased an existing Burger King restaurant in           
          Fort Myers, Florida.  Thereafter, in 1976, after Robert returned            
          to Florida, FIC acquired three existing Burger King restaurants,
