NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(1)      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Significant  Accounting  Policies of Applewoods,  Inc., (the "Company")
are set forth in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
June 30, 1997 ( the  "Company's  Form 10-KSB") as filed with the  Securities and
Exchange Commission on October 14, 1997.

(2)      BASIS OF PREPARING UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The Company  incurred net losses of $3,312,576  and  $2,315,074 and net
cash outflows from  operations of $2,718,693  and  $1,888,676 in the years ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997,  the Company  incurred net losses of $728,905 and  $1,950,324  and net
cash outflows of $497,035 and $1,974,821, respectively.  Management has prepared
projected  cash flow  information  for the period  ending March 31, 1999. On the
basis of these projections, management considers that the Company may be able to
continue to operate through that date with credit facilities which are currently
being  renegotiated.   However,   these  projections  are  estimates  of  future
performance  over which the Company  can give no  assurances.  Accordingly,  the
financial  statements  have been  prepared on a going  concern  basis and do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(3)      BASIS OF REPORTING

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation
S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements.  In the opinion of the management,  all adjustments (consisting only
of  normal  recurring   items)  which  are  considered   necessary  for  a  fair
presentation  have been included.  These  financial  statements  must be read in
conjunction with the Company's Form 10-KSB.  The operating  results for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1998.

(4)      PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

         Property, Plant & Equipment is comprised of the following:

(7)      EARNINGS PER SHARE

                  Earnings per share for the three and nine month  periods ended
         March 31, 1998 have been computed in accordance  with the provisions of
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards 128,  Earnings per Share.
         Basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  are the same  because,  as the
         Company has incurred net losses in both periods, the incremental shares
         from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options are not included
         in computing  the diluted per share  amounts.  The  application  of the
         provisions of Statement 128 to the  computations  of earnings per share
         for the three  and nine  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1997 have no
         impact on the amounts previously reported.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         Applewoods,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation,  ("AI"),  was  formed  in
September  1995  to  acquire  all  of  the   outstanding   stock  of  Applewoods
International  Limited  ("AIL"),  a company  registered  in Great  Britain.  The
acquisition was recorded as a recapitalization  of AIL, with AI as the acquirer.
AI and AIL are collectively referred to as the "Company ".

         The  business of the Company is the  establishment  of licensed  retail
stores to sell  "natural"  soaps,  toiletries  and related  gift  products.  The
Company  manufactures both the products and the associated  storefittings at its
premises in Devon, England. During the past three years, the Company has pursued
an active policy of  developing  original  product  lines  in-house and sourcing
accessory  products  from  around  the  world.  This is  essential  to provide a
sufficient  range and variety of products to make the stores  successful.  It is
anticipated  that this  range  development  will  continue  for the  foreseeable
future.

         This Form 10-QSB contains  forward looking  information that is subject
to certain risks,  trends and  uncertainties  that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

         The  Company's  revenues  are  generated  from the sale of  products to
licensees and distributors, and an initial license fee charged for all necessary
construction  items and services  that  include the design and  fixturing of the
retail  space.  Total  revenues  for the three  months  increased by 6% over the
previous year. Within this, product sales decreased by 9% over the previous year
as product sales in 1997 benefited  from  significant  exceptional  distribution
sales of product  outside the licensed  store  network.  At March 31, 1998,  the
Company had 85 licensed  stores  operating  compared  with 58 at March 31, 1997.
Storefitting and license revenue increased by 98%.

         The gross  profit  percentage  for the three  months to March 31,  1998
increased from 25% to 37%. Product margin increased from 27% to 38%, because, in
1997,  high  provisions  made against  inventory  obsolescence  reduced  product
margin.  The margin generated by storefitting and license revenue increased from
11% to 35%,  reflecting the higher activity in storefitting in 1998, compared to
1997.

         Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by  8%  to
approximately  $901,000  this year from  approximately  $976,000 in the previous
year, as a result of lower product development costs.

         The Company  benefited from a foreign exchange gain of $44,272 compared
with a loss in  1997 of  $93,172.  Interest  expense  of  $12,979  has  replaced
interest  income  in 1997 of  $10,523,  because  the  Company  used  its  credit
facilities during the quarter to March 31, 1998.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

         The  Company's  revenues  are  generated  from the sale of  products to
licensees and distributors, and an initial license fee charged for all necessary
construction  items and services  that  include the design and  fixturing of the
retail  space.  Total  revenues  for the nine months  increased  by 59% over the
previous  year.  Within this,  product sales  increased by 50% over the previous
year,  essentially due to the increased number and quality of retail stores.  At
March 31, 1998, the Company had 85 licensed stores operating compared with 58 at
March 31, 1997. Storefitting and license revenue increased by 106%.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NINE MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 1998  COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
(CONTINUED)

         The gross  profit  percentage  for the nine  months  to March 31,  1998
increased from 27% to 36%. Product margin increased from 28% to 35%, because, in
1997,  high  provisions  made against  inventory  obsolescence  reduced  product
margin.  The margin generated by storefitting and license revenue increased from
24% to 38%, reflecting the higher level of activity in 1998, compared to 1997.

         Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by  29% to
approximately $3,302,000 this year from approximately $2,558,000 in the previous
year.  Approximately  9% of the increase relates to provision made against Trade
Accounts  Receivable from Southeast Asia, as a result of the decline of economic
conditions in such  regions.  The  remaining  increase is from sales  promotion,
travel and product development,  which all relates to the efforts by the Company
to develop the worldwide market for its products.

         The Company  benefited from a foreign exchange gain of $24,772 compared
with a gain in 1997 of  $55,722.  Net  interest  expense of $8,083 has  replaced
interest  income in 1997 of  $69,504,  because  the  Company has used its credit
facilities  in the  current  period;  in the nine  months to March 31,  1997 the
Company held cash funds.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31,  1998,  the Company had working  capital of  approximately
$2,627,000, including cash of approximately $119,000.

         During the nine  months to March 31,  1998,  the  Company  used cash of
approximately $497,000 to fund operations.  Contributing to this use of cash was
a loss  from  operations  of  approximately  $729,000,  and an  increase  in the
Company's  accounts  receivable  of  approximately  $625,000.  Accounts  payable
increased  by  approximately  $356,000.  Net cash used in  investing  activities
increased  to  $330,000  mainly due to the  establishment  of a Company  factory
outlet store, and the payment of a rent deposit.

         The Company has capital  commitments at March 31, 1998 arising from the
relocation  of its  headquarters  facility in  England,  planned for the quarter
ending June 30,  1998.  During March 1998,  the Company  signed a lease and rent
deposit for a plant and  offices  sited in England;  the rent  deposit  required
payment in March of a deposit classified as an other asset due after one year at
March 31,  1998.  The payment of the deposit was financed by a loan secured by a
debenture,  the written terms of which are being finalized, on the assets of the
Company for an  equivalent  amount from Mr.  Roger M. Buoy,  the Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive  Officer of the Company.  This loan is to be repayable
on demand,  although  the written  agreement  has yet to be  executed.  Interest
received by the Company on the deposit is to be paid to Mr.  Roger M. Buoy under
the proposed terms of the loan. The Company has also entered an agreement with a
specialist   outsourcing  Company  to  warehouse  and  distribute  its  finished
products;   these  combined  changes  offer  the  Company  improved  production,
warehousing and  distribution  capability,  in a more favorable  location,  at a
reduced cost base.

         The  Company's  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on a going
concern  basis  because  management  believes,  based on cash  flow  projections
through  March 31, 1999,  that the Company may be able to continue  through that
date using credit facilities which will be renegotiable  during that period. The
Company has negotiated  credit  facilities to finance the business  through May,
and it was  agreed  as part of  these  negotiations  that Mr.  Roger M.  Buoy be
required to give a personal guarantee to the Company's bankers.  This obligation
to provide such  guarantee  will be included  within the  Debenture  referred to
above. In recognition of the cash restraints on the Company,  Mr. Roger M. Buoy,
Chief Executive Officer,  has agreed to defer his salary commencing March, 1998.
Mr. Tony E. Swash, Chief Operating Officer, has also deferred part of his salary
commencing March, 1998.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

         The  Internal  Revenue  Service of the  Department  of the Treasury are
undertaking an examination of the Form 1120 U.S.  Corporation  Income Tax Return
for the year  ending  June 30,  1996.  The  Company  does not  believe  that any
significant  liability  will be  incurred  as a result of this  examination  and
therefore no liability has been accrued in the financial statements at March 31,
1998.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         Inflation has not been a major factor in the Company's  business  since
inception. There can be no assurances that this will continue.

SEASONALITY

         The  Company  experiences  considerable  seasonal  fluctuation  in  its
quarterly results due to the pre-Christmas  retail sales period. In the last two
years,  an average of 34% of annual  product sales were generated in the October
to  December  quarter.  Quarterly  results  should  therefore  be viewed in this
context.
