                        (A Development Stage Enterprise)
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


1.  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
    the instructions to Form 10-QSB. The financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company from
    inception (January 11, 1996) to December 31, 1996 for a description of the
    significant accounting policies, which have continued without change, and
    other footnote information.

2.  All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
    fair presentation of financial position, results of operation and cash flow
    have been included. For purposes of interim financial reporting, the Company
    uses the standard cost method in determining the estimate of the lower of
    cost or market for inventory valuation. The results of the interim period
    are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

3.  The Company was incorporated on January 11, 1996, and, since that time, has
    been primarily involved in organizational activities, developing a strategic
    plan for the marketing and distribution of its pet food products, and
    raising capital. Planned Operations, as described above, have commenced, but
    revenue therefrom generated to date is not considered significant in
    relation to the Company's strategic plan. Accordingly, the Company is
    considered to be in the development stage, and the accompanying interim
    financial statements represent those of a development stage enterprise.

    The accompanying interim financial statements have been presented in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which assume the
    continuity of the Company as a going concern. However, as discussed above,
    the Company is in the development stage and, therefore has generated little
    revenue to date. As reflected in the accompanying interim financial
    statements, the Company has incurred a net loss and reflects a deficit
    accumulated during the development stage of $8,718,212 for the period from
    inception (January 11, 1996) through March 31, 1997. This condition raises
    substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going
    concern.

    Management's plans with regard to this matter encompass the following
    actions:

       Business Plan

       The Company has adopted, and is in the process of implementing, a
       business plan intended to define the Company's strategy for growth. In
       June 1996, the Company commenced sales of its dog food to supermarkets
       located in the Greater Metropolitan New York area. As of March 31, 1997,
       the Company is selling product into the following markets: the Greater
       Metropolitan New York area, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and other
       areas in Pennsylvania; the Baltimore, Maryland/Washington, DC area; North
       Carolina; Georgia; and the Tampa Bay Florida and South Florida areas.
       During the next twelve months, the Company anticipates that it will begin
       implementation of its national distribution.

       During 1997, the Company expects to expand its line of dog foods with the
       introduction of lamb and rice products. The Company also plans to
       introduce a line of dry cat foods by the end of the fourth quarter of
       1997.

       The Company plans to expand its marketing programs in 1997 to include
       such programs as: radio and newspaper advertising, in-store coupons,
       floor walker displays, direct sampling programs (including newspaper
       pouch samples) and in-store demonstrations. Additionally, the Company
       plans to participate in several cause-related programs to increase
       consumer awareness of the Company and its products.

       Equity Infusion

       On April 29, 1997, the Company completed a $2.5 million private placement
       (the "Private Placement"). The shares were purchased by Entrepreneurial
       Investors, Ltd., a Bahamian company. The Private Placement consisted of
       the sale of 625,000 shares of Series A 4% Cumulative Convertible
       Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the
       Company at $4.00 per share. The Company anticipates using the net
       proceeds of the Private Placement (approximately $2 million) for general
       corporate purposes. A Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to such
       sale was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12,
       1997.

       The eventual outcome, or success of management's plans cannot be
       ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial
       statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
       outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

From time to time, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, InnoPet
Brands Corp. (the "Company") may publish forward-looking statements relating to
such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, future
operations, new products, research and development activities, and similar
matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe
harbor for such forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of
the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The
risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development
and results of the Company's business include the following: changes in the pet
food industry; the Company's ability to manage growth effectively; the Company's
ability to sell premium pet foods through supermarkets and grocery stores; the
entrance into the supermarket distribution channel of an existing or new premium
pet food; the ability of the Company's manufacturers and other suppliers to meet
the Company's performance and quality specifications; and the ability of the
Company to control the cost of raw materials, manufacturing, packaging,
warehousing and distribution.

General

The Company produces, markets and sells premium dog food through supermarkets
and grocery stores under the name InnoPet Veterinarian Formula(TM) Dog Food
("InnoPet Foods"). The Company began marketing InnoPet Foods in March 1996. In
June 1996, it commenced sales of its dog food to supermarkets located in the
Greater Metropolitan New York area. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has sold
products into the following markets: the Greater Metropolitan New York area; the
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and other areas in Pennsylvania; the Baltimore,
Maryland/Washington, D.C. area; North Carolina; Georgia; and the Tampa Bay,
Florida and South Florida areas. The Company's objective is to become a national
provider of premium pet foods through supermarket and grocery store retail
outlets.

During the next twelve months, the Company anticipates that it will continue to
sell products in the areas it is currently supplying and that it will initiate
sales throughout the majority of the eastern United States. The Company expects
to continue to incur losses at least through the second quarter of 1997. The
Company's ability to achieve a profitable level of operations will depend in
large part on the market acceptance of its products. There can be no assurance
that the Company will achieve profitable operations.

The Company hired a Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer in January 1997
completing its management team. It is expected that staffing of the sales
department will be increased to manage anticipated growth in sales. Other minor
increases in staffing will also be needed.

Results of Operations

The three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the period from inception
(January 11, 1996) through March 31, 1996.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled $575,028
compared with no revenues for the period from inception (January 11, 1996)
through March 31, 1996.

Cost and Expenses. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1997
totaled $383,574 compared with no cost of goods sold for the period from
inception (January 11, 1996) through March 31, 1996. Cost of goods sold for the
first three months of 1997 were 67% of sales, providing a gross margin of 33%
for the period.

Sales expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled $160,900
compared with no sales expense for the period from inception (January 11, 1996)
through March 31, 1996. Sales expenses for the first quarter of 1997 totaled 28%
of sales. These costs consist of broker commissions (5% of sales), and the
Company's in-house sales force.

Slotting allowances for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled $439,435,
compared with no cost for the period from inception (January 11, 1996) through
March 31, 1996. Slotting fees are fees charged manufacturers by retailers in
order to facilitate the introduction of new products. The fees represent charges
for warehouse space (slots) to be used to store a manufacturer's products,
charges for retail shelf space and related shelf sets to make room for the
products and reimbursement of retailer expenses (entering new items into their
computer systems and in some cases marketing support provided by the

                                       8

retailer). The practice by retailers of charging slotting fees is a standard
industry practice. The Company expects to continue to incur slotting fees as it
expands its geographic territory and as new products are introduced.

Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled $805,079,
an increase of $554,476 over the period from inception (January 11, 1996)
through March 31, 1996. Marketing expenses for the first quarter of 1997
reflected initial implementation of the Company's marketing program, and
included items such as advertising (approximately $164,000), directed sampling
programs (via direct mail and delivery with newspapers, approximately $209,000),
and in store demonstrations (approximately $45,000).

Product development costs for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled
$103,783, a reduction of $111,146 as compared to the period from inception
(January 11, 1996) through March 31, 1996. The first quarter 1997 expense level
reflects expenses associated with the ongoing management of manufacturers and
co-packers, and ongoing research and development. During the period from
inception through March 31, 1996 much of the product development costs were
costs associated with testing of newly acquired formulations (e.g., palatability
and bio-availability), expenses associated with locating manufacturers and
certifying their facilities and processes.

General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
totaled $896,287, an increase of $331,393, or 59% over the period from inception
(January 11, 1996) through March 31, 1996. The increase resulted from increased
logistics costs (approximately $162,000); increased legal, accounting and
professional fees (approximately $100,000) associated with strategic planning,
SEC compliance and other matters; increased rent (approximately $21,000);
increased amortization costs; and increases in general office expenses.

Interest income net of interest expense and financing costs totaled $14,122 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, an improvement of $152,452 over the
period inception (January 11, 1996) through March 31, 1996. The expense during
the prior year period reflected amortization of financing costs associated with
the start up of the business. These costs were fully amortized during 1996 and
are non-reoccurring.

Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled $2,199,908,
an increase of $1,031,152 over the period from inception through March 31, 1996.
The increase was due primarily to initial expenditures associated with the
implementation of the Company's marketing plans combined with slotting fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital. At March 31, 1997 the Company had working capital of
$1,923,695, compared to working capital of $4,113,187 at December 31, 1996. This
change in working capital was primarily due to the loss incurred in the current
period.

Cash Flow. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company had net
cash used by operating activities of $2,756,685. The primary uses of cash were
the net loss incurred for the quarter combined with increased inventories and
accounts receivable.

The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $250,308. The primary
use of cash during this period was for capital expenditure including meat
handling equipment to be used by one of the Company's manufacturers.

Subsequent Events

"Private Placement"). The shares were purchased by Entrepreneurial Investors,
Ltd., a Bahamian company. The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 625,000
shares of Series A 4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Company at $4.00 per share. The Company
anticipates using the net proceeds of the Private Placement (approximately $2
million) for general corporate purposes.

         placement (the "Private Placement"). The shares were purchased by
         Entrepreneurial Investors, Ltd., a Bahamian company which serves as an
         investment vehicle for a group of private European investors. The
         Private Placement consisted of the sale of 625,000 shares of Series A
         4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share
         (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Company at $4.00 per share. In

         Stock"), of the Company. The Preferred Stock bears a cumulative
         dividend of four percent (4%) per annum, payable quarterly. The
         dividend shall be paid by the issuance of Common Stock of the Company.
         The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as a dividend shall
         be determined based on the average closing bid price for shares of the
         Common Stock as reported by the NASDAQ SmallCap Market for the twenty
