                  INTERFOODS OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted in this Form
         10-QSB in compliance with the Rules and Regulations of the Securities
         and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of Interfoods of
         America, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("the Company"), the disclosures
         contained in this Form 10-QSB are adequate to make the information
         fairly presented. See Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999
         for additional information relevant to significant accounting policies
         followed by the Company.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
         of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
         position as of March 31, 2000 and the results of operations for the six
         month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for each of
         the six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of
         operations for the six months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
         indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

         The Company sold its subsidiaries, SBK Franchise Systems, Inc and
         Sobik's Restaurant Corporation in December 1997 for consideration of
         $1.1 million, comprised of a $500,000 promissory note due December 4,
         1998, $500,000 worth of acquirer's ("JRECK") common stock and $100,000
         cash. The $500,000 promissory note was not repaid. An extension was
         negotiated with JRECK, which extended the maturity date until June 30,
         1999. The Company received an additional 56,857 shares of JRECK stock
         as an extension fee. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 1998, the
         promissory note was fully reserved with a corresponding reduction of
         the gain on sale. The resulting net gain of $536,237 was included as a
         component of other income (expense) in the fiscal 1998 consolidated
         statement of operations. On June 11,1999, a new agreement was reached
         with JRECK relating to the promissory note and stock options. A new
         note for $200,000 was signed. The existing investment in JRECK stock
         was written down to market value and the Company also received an
         additional 700,187 shares of JRECK stock. Management has elected to
         fully reserve the $200,000 note. The September 30, 1999 financial
         statements included expenses of $182,809 reflecting the adjustment for
         the impairment in the Company's investment in JRECK, as required by
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No ("SFAS") 115 "Accounting
         for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." As of March
         31,2000 an additional $122,760 adjustment to other expense was made to
         reflect the current market value.

2.       LOANS TO OFFICERS

         The Company has advanced unsecured loans to officers in the amount of
         $600,000. Each loan bears interest of 6% per annum with principal and
         interest payable February 28, 2001.

3.       ACQUISITIONS

         On January 11, 2000, the Company, through an asset purchase agreement,
         acquired 37 Popeye's restaurants located in Mississippi and Louisiana
         for approximately $34 million in cash and financed with $35.7 million
         in debt.

         In March, 1999 the Company acquired nineteen Popeye's restaurants in St
         Louis, Mo. and Baton Rouge, La. for approximately $19.85 million in
         cash and financed with $8.0 million of debt.

         The following table sets forth the estimated fair value of the assets
         acquired for the above acquisitions (in thousands):

         The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma consolidated
         results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and March
         31, 1999, giving effect to the above acquisitions as if such
         acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 1999 and 1998 (in thousands,
         except per share data):

                                                               2000         1999
                                                               ----         ----

             Basic and diluted earnings per share               0.23        0.02


         The above unaudited pro forma consolidated results are based upon
         certain assumptions and estimates, which the Company believes are
         reasonable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations
         may not be indicative of the operating results that actually would have
         been reported had the Company been in existence and had the
         acquisitions been consummated on October 1, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively, nor are they necessarily indicative of results which will
         be reported in the future.

4.       ADVANCED VENDOR REBATES

         The Company has entered into a seven year contractual agreement with a
         vendor to receive rebates for future use of its products. As rebates
         are earned, the cost of restaurant operations is reduced in the
         condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and an corresponding
         decrease is recorded to deferred revenue in the condensed Consolidated
         Balance Sheet.

         The Company announced on April 10, 2000 that it will, from time to
         time, purchase on the open market, subject to market conditions and
         price levels, up to 10% percent of the company's common stock,
         utilizing general corporate funds to effect such purchases. As of May
         4, 2000 the Company has purchased an additional 491,700 shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and
together with the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 1999

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had total
revenues of $19,965,480 and $32,460,164 compared to total revenues of $7,432,948
and $13,475,821 for the three and six months ended March 31, 1999. The increase
in revenues was primarily attributable to the sales generated by the Company's
acquisition of thirty-seven stores in Mississippi and Louisiana on January 11,
2000, ten stores in Baton Rouge, LA, on March 8, 1999, nine stores in St. Louis,
Mo., on March 22,1999 and five additional new store openings during the year
ended September 30, 1999. The remaining sales increase was due to an increase in
comparable sales of 21.6% for the three months and 16.9% for the six months
ended March 31, 2000.

Cost of restaurant operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000
were $15,947,518 and $26,016,279 as compared to $6,092,424 and $11,335,012 for
the three and six months ended March 31,1999. The increase is attributable to
the number of stores and the additional expenses that were incurred to integrate
the Company's procedures and systems into the acquired stores.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31,
2000 were $1,675,933 and $2,949,335 as compared to $835,975 and $1,643,263 for
the three and six months ended March 31,1999. The increase is primarily
attributable to the expenses related to the indirect costs of 1999 and 2000
acquisition of stores and the costs of additional personnel hired to support the
current growth.

Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000
were $550,346 and $843,990 as compared to $165,036 and $244,858 for the three
and six months ended March 31,1999. The increase was primarily attributable to
the acquisition of additional restaurants and the capital expenditures related
to the existing restaurant's remodeling program.

Operating income of the Company was $1,791,683 and $2,650,560 for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $339,513 and $252,688 for the
three and six months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in operating income is
attributable to the increase in number of stores and increase in existing store
level profits resulted from the favorable comparable sales.

The write down of the investment in JRECK stock was $0 and $122,760 for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $12,988 and $76,910 for
the three months and six months ended March 31, 1999. As a result of a decline
in the market value, the Company has written down the stock to market value.

Interest expense increased to $1,173,384 and $1,485,067 for the three and six
months ended March 31,2000 as compared to $107,128 and $185,414 for the three
and six months ended March 31,1999. The increase was due to higher average debt
outstanding in 2000 as compared to 1999 and this was attributable to additional
borrowings made under the Company's acquisition program.

Other expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 were $169,814
and $130,182 as compared to $485,099 and $499,067 for the three and six months
ended March 31,1999. The charges in the current year were attributable to the
acquisition costs associated with the purchase of the restaurants in Mississippi
and Louisiana and the lease termination payments relating to a closed store.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was
$4,862,387 compared to net cash provided by operations of $949,924 for the six
months that ended March 31,1999. The increase in operating cash flow for the
period was primarily attributable to the net income from operations of $595,115
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as opposed to a loss of $349,772 for the
six months ended March 31,1999, and an increase in cash due to advanced vendor
rebates of $1,550,640, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$1,669,551. Depreciation and amortization increased by $599,132 which is
attributable to the goodwill and fixed assets recorded in the acquisition of
additional restaurants. This was offset by cash outlays for receivables,
inventories, and prepaid expenses.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had total current assets of $4,048,382 and total
assets of $58,979,737 as compared to total current assets of $733,470 and total
assets of $20,387,942 at September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to
the $34 million acquisition of 37 restaurant in Mississippi and Louisiana and
the approximately $1.6 million of advanced rebates received from a vendor for
future use of its products in the Company's restaurants.

Net cash used in investing activities was $35,939,144 for the six months ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to $11,292,222 for the six months ended March 31,
1999. The cash was used primarily for the acquisition of Mississippi and
Louisiana restaurants in the amount of $34,841,033.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $33,426,744 for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $9,569,692 in the six months ended March
31,1999. The increase resulted primarily from the proceeds of a new debt of
$36,139,992 from the new acquisition, which was offset by the reduction of
existing debt of $1,548,152.

The Company intends to obtain the necessary capital to continue its future
expansion plans as each acquisition presents itself. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain capital under terms acceptable
to the Company.

FUTURE GROWTH AND EXPANSION:

The Company intends to continue with its plan to acquire and build additional
Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits restaurants as opportunities arise; however, there
can be no assurance the Company will acquire or build any new stores under terms
acceptable to the Company. See the September 30, 1999 Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for further discussion on the Company's future growth and plans of
expansion.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 137 defers for one year the
effective date of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 will now apply to all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 will require the
Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
Since the Company does not hold any derivative instruments, SFAS 133 is not
expected to impact the Company.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101 (`SAB 101'), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101
provides guidance on applying accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States to revenue recognition issues in financial statements. The Company
will adopt SAB 101 as required in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Management
does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations and financial position.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         Goodwill is recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis
over 40 years. Other Intangible assets are recorded at cost and consist of
franchise rights, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over
20 years. The franchise agreements are for an initial term of 20 years may be
extended for an additional ten-year term upon the payment of one-half of the
then-applicable franchise fee and the execution of a renewal franchise
agreement. The franchise terms require the Company to pay royalties of 5% and
advertising of 3% of gross sales on a weekly basis.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. ("SFAS") 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of long-lived Assets and for long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Under such circumstances, SFAS 121 requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of
be reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell. Accordingly, when events or circumstances indicate that long-lived assets
may be impaired, the Company estimates the asset's future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the
expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying
amount over the fair value of the asset. The Company determined that no
impairment had occurred at March 31, 2000.

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

The costs of obtaining financing are deferred and are included as debt issuance
costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are
amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective loan.

YEAR  2000

The Company had successfully completed all Year 2000 remediation, replacement,
and testing prior to January 1, 2000. Through May 1, 2000, the Company nor its
suppliers have experienced no Year 2000 problems that affected business
operations. At this time, the Company does not expect any future problems
related to Year 2000 to materialize.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In November , 1997, James Byrd, the former Chairman of the Board and Director of
the Company, filed suit against the Company and Mr. Berg for an injunction and
damages resulting from an alleged breach of contract by the Company. Mr. Byrd
alleges that the Company breached an agreement to repurchase 150,000 shares of
common stock at a price of approximately $130,000. On November 26, 1997, Mr.
Byrd's Emergency Motion for Temporary Injunction in that action was denied. The
Company believes that the suit is without merit and the Company is vigorously
defending this action.
