ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

THE MERGER

         Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of August 9, 1995 (the "Merger Agreement") between American Family
Restaurants, Inc. ("AFR") and Denwest Restaurant Corp. ("DRC"), on March 29,
1996 DRC merged with and into AFR, with AFR as the surviving corporation (the
"Merger"). In connection with the Merger, the name of AFR was changed to
DenAmerica Corp. (the "Company").

         Prior to the merger, DRC operated 102 family-oriented, full-service
restaurants in 21 states in the western and midwestern United States. Of the 102
restaurants, 82 are Denny's restaurants and 20 currently are operated under the
"Kettle" trade name. The Company intends to continue operating the restaurants
previously operated by DRC.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

         As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of DRC currently own
an aggregate of approximately 53.0% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.
Accordingly, the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse purchase under
generally accepted accounting principals, pursuant to which DRC is considered
the acquiring company for accounting purposes, even though the Company is the
surviving legal entity. As a result, the historical financial statements of DRC
will be the continuing historical financial statements of the Company.
