                          ----------------------------


The Participants and the Administrative Committee
Jack in the Box Inc. Easy$aver Plus Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Jack in the Box Inc. Easy$aver Plus Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subject to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the Jack in the Box Inc. Easy$aver Plus Plan
(the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

General - The Plan was established effective April 1, 1983 for the purpose of
enabling employees to enhance their long-range financial security through
regular savings with the benefit of Jack in the Box Inc. (the "Company")
contributions. The benefits provided under the Plan are intended to supplement
the retirement benefits provided under other plans sponsored by the Company. The
Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA"); however, benefits under the Plan are not eligible for
plan termination insurance provided by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
under Title IV of ERISA.

The Company, as plan sponsor, makes contributions to the Plan and pays a portion
of the administrative costs. Subject to certain restrictions, the plan sponsor
also has the authority and responsibility for the general administration of the
Plan. The Chairperson of the Company's Board of Directors is authorized to
appoint the members of the Administrative Committee (the "Committee"). Mellon
Bank, N.A., as the trustee, has the authority to hold, manage and protect the
assets of the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The
recordkeeping administrative services are performed by Dreyfus Service
Corporation.

The Plan covers substantially all regular administrative, clerical, warehouse
and distribution employees, and maintenance and equipment technicians of the
Company who have completed one year of service with at least 1,000 hours of
service, receive regular compensation from a payroll in the United States, and
have attained age 21. Participation by eligible employees is voluntary.

Contributions - Participants can elect to contribute to the Plan any amount from
2% to 12% of their compensation in 1% increments through payroll deductions not
to exceed $10,500 in 2001 and 2000. This deferral is referred to as a pre-tax
deferral, i.e., it is not subject to income taxes in the year deferred. The
Company contributes 50% of the first 4% of compensation that a participant
contributes to the Plan.

                                   (continued)

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Vesting - Participants have a fully vested interest in their contributions plus
actual earnings thereon. Company contributions vest at the rate of 25 percent
for each year of service by the participant or fully vest upon attainment of age
sixty-five, disability, death or termination of the Plan. The vested amount in a
participant's account normally is distributed upon termination of employment or
death. The amount of the Company's contribution that is not vested with respect
to any participant is forfeited upon termination of employment, but is restored
if the participant becomes an eligible employee within five years after
termination. Forfeitures are used to reduce employer contributions. During the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 forfeitures in the amount of $49,000 and
$15,000, respectively, were used to reduce employer contributions. As of
December 31, 2001, plan assets included $1,943 of unallocated forfeitures which
were invested in the Dreyfus Certus Stable Value Fund.

Participant Accounts - As of December 31, 2001, the trustee maintains thirteen
investment funds. Effective February 1, 2000 and July 25, 2001, the Crabbe Huson
Special Fund and Crabbe Huson Equity Fund, respectively, were removed from the
Plan and any remaining balances on those dates were transferred into the Dreyfus
Certus Stable Value Fund. Effective September 11, 2001, the Dodge & Cox Stock
Fund was added as a new investment option in the Plan. Participants may direct
their contributions and Company matching contributions to be placed in any of
the thirteen active investment funds allocated in multiples of 1% to any
combination of these investment funds. Earnings derived from the assets of any
investment fund are reinvested in the fund to which they relate.

Participants may elect to transfer all or any multiple of 1% of the value of
their accounts among funds on any market trading day. Pending investment of the
assets in an investment fund, the trustee may temporarily make certain
short-term investments.

The Plan permits voluntary withdrawals by participants of their after-tax
contributions and related earnings no more than once every six months. Because
of certain Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations, participants may, with
Committee approval, withdraw pre-tax deferrals (exclusive of earnings for
withdrawals after December 31, 1989), Company matching contributions (if the
participant is fully vested) and related earnings only in the event of a
financial hardship.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Participant Loans - The Plan permits participants to borrow from the investment
funds. Loans are subject to such rules and regulations as the Committee may
adopt, including but not limited to the following: (1) the amount of the loan is
subject to certain limitations, (2) the loan bears interest at prevailing rates
and repayments are to be made through payroll deductions, and (3) the payment of
a processing fee is required. Amounts loaned to participants are treated as
invested in such loans and, to the extent unpaid, do not generate any earnings
other than interest thereon.

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan
balance in the previous 12 months, if any, or 50% of their account balance. Loan
terms range from one to five years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a
primary residence. Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account
and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as
determined by the Committee. Interest rates range from 8.5% to 11.5%.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using
the accrual method of accounting.

Investments - The Plan's common/collective trust funds are stated at fair value,
which have been determined based on the unit values of the funds. The Plan's
investments in common stocks and mutual funds are stated at fair value, which is
determined by quoted market prices. Purchases and sales of securities are
recorded on a trade-date basis. All receivables and liabilities are valued at
cost, which approximates fair value.

Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses represent estimates of amounts
incurred for recordkeeping services and other administrative type services.
Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 are displayed net
of an entry to adjust previously recorded estimates of expense to actual.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
