                    NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          FOR THE YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1995


1    BUSINESS AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

     Gull Foods CC was  registered in February 1985 and conducts the business of
     a multi - disciplinary convenience food manufacturer.


2    SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial  statements  have been prepared in conformity  with Generally
     Accepted  Accounting  Practice  in the  United  States of  America,  on the
     historical cost basis and incorporate the following significant  accounting
     policies:

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The  functional  currency is that of South  African Rand.  Accordingly  the
     following rates of exchange have been used for translation purposes:

     *    Assets and  liabilities  are translated to United States Dollars using
          the exchange rates at the balance sheet date

     *    Common  stock  is  translated  to  United  States  Dollars  using  the
          historical rates at date of acquisition.

     *    Revenues  and  expenses,  gains and  losses are  translated  to United
          States  Dollars using the weighted  average  exchange rates during the
          year.

     The  resultant  translation  adjustments  are reported in the  component of
     Stockholders'   investment  designated  as  "Foreign  currency  translation
     adjustments".

     FOREIGN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

     Transactions in foreign  currencies  arise as a result of plant,  equipment
     and raw materials purchased from foreign countries.

     Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted for at the rates ruling at
     transaction  date.  Exchange  gains and  losses  are  charged to the income
     statement  during  the  period in which  they  occur.  Foreign  assets  and
     liabilities of the company which are not  denominated in South African Rand
     are converted into South African Rand at the rates ruling at financial year
     end or the rates of forward cover purchased.

          FOR THE YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1995


     INVENTORIES

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable  value. Cost
     is determined on the following basis:

     *    Raw materials and consumables are valued at actual cost.

     *    Work in progress and finished  goods are valued at direct raw material
          cost plus labour costs and related manufacturing overhead expenses.

     *    Redundant  and slow moving  inventory is  identified  and written down
          with regard to its estimated economic or residual value.

     PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Plant, machinery,  vehicles, equipment,  furniture and fittings and kitchen
     equipment is depreciated on the straight line basis so that the cost of the
     assets are written off over their estimated useful lives.

     The following rates are considered appropriate:

                                              Period
                                             in years
                                             --------

          Plant, machinery and equipment          5

          Vehicles                                5

          Furniture and fittings                 10


     GROSS REVENUE

     Gross  revenue  comprises the gross  invoiced  value of sales in respect of
     trading operations before discounts, and excludes value added taxation. The
     company  recognizes  revenue  on the  accrual  basis upon  delivery  of the
     products to the customers.


     INCOME TAXES

     Income tax  expense is based on  reported  earnings  before  income  taxes.
     Deferred income taxes represent the impact of temporary timing  differences
     between  the amounts of assets and  liabilities  recognized  for  financial
     reporting purposes and such amounts  recognized for tax purposes.  Deferred
     taxation is provided on the comprehensive basis and is measured by applying
     currently enacted tax laws.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     As at the end of February  1996 the carrying  value of accounts  receivable
     and accounts payable approximate their fair value.

9    INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes are  accounted  for under  Statement  of Financial  Accounting
     Standards no. 109  "Accounting  for Income Tax" ("SFAS 109"),  an asset and
     liability method.  SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
     and  liabilities  for the  expected  future tax  consequences  of temporary
     differences  between  the tax bases and  financial  reporting  bases of the
     company's  assets and  liabilities.  In  addition,  SFAS 109  requires  the
     recognition  of future  tax  benefits,  such as net  operating  loss  carry
     forwards,  to the extent that  realization  of such  benefit is more likely
     than not.

     The  provision  for income  tax  charged to  continuing  operations  was as
     follows:
