                   NOTES TO INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)

1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
        a)  Basis of Presentation
 

            These financial statements and the notes attached thereto include 
            the the accounts of Intercorp Excelle Inc. ("The Company") and the 
            the subsidiaries; Intercorp Foods Limited, Kalmath Investments 
            Limited and Excelle Brands Food Corporation, were prepared by the 
            Company pursuant to the rules and regulations the Securities and 
            Exchange Commission. All material inter-company adjustments and 
            transactions are eliminated to present a fair statement of the 
            results for interim periods. Certain footnotes disclosures have 
            been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the 
            Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the 
            information presented not misleading.
             
        b)  Principal activities
 
            Intercorp Excelle Inc. was incorporated on April 16, 1997 for the 
            purpose of acquiring 100% control of the subsidiary companies, 
            i.e. Intercorp Foods Limited and Excelle Brands Food Corporation., 
            which were incorporated in Canada on December 20, 1982 and 
            February 7, 1987 respectively. The subsidiary Companies are 
            principally engaged in the production of food products in Canada 
            and its distribution in Canada and in the U.S.
 
        c)  Cash and Short term investments
 
            Cash and short term investments include cash on hand, amount due 
            from banks, and any other highly liquid investments purchased with 
            a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount 
            approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those 
            instruments.
             
        d)  Other financial instruments
 
            The carrying amount of the companies' accounts receivable and 
            payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of 
            these instruments.
 
        e)  Inventory
 
            Inventory is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost 
            is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
 
        f)  Property, Plant and Equipment
 
            Equipment                           20%      Declining Balance
            Leasehold Improvement               10%      Straight Line
            Vehicle                             30%      Declining Balance
            Computer Equipment                  30%      Declining Balance
            Office Furniture                    20%      Declining Balance
            
 
           Amortization for assets acquired during the period are recorded at 
           one-half of the indicated rates, which approximates when they were 
           put into use.

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
        g)  Income Taxes
 
            The companies account for income tax under the provisions of 
            Statement of Financial Accounting standard No. 109, which requires 
            recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the 
            expected future tax consequences of events that have been included 
            in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes 
            are provided using the liability method. Under the liability 
            method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant 
            temporary differences between the tax and financial statement 
            bases of assets and liabilities.
 
        h)  Foreign Currency Translation
 
            The companies maintained their books and records in Canadian 
            Dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated using the 
            temporal method. Under this method, all monetary items are 
            translated into Canadian funds at the rate of exchange prevailing 
            at balance sheet date. Non monetary items are translated at 
            historical rates. Income and expenses are translated at the rate 
            in effect of the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses 
            are included in the determination of earnings for the period.
 
            The translation of the financial statements from Canadian dollars 
            ("CDN $") into United States dollars is performed for the 
            convenience of the reader. Balance sheet accounts are translated 
            using closing exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date 
            and income and expenses accounts are translated using an average 
            exchange prevailing during each reporting period. No 
            representation is made that the Canadian dollar amounts could have 
            been or could be, converted into United States dollars at the 
            rates on the respective dates and or at any other certain rates. 
            Adjustments resulting from the translation are included in the 
            cumulative translation adjustments in stockholder's equity.
             
        I)  Sales
 
            Sales represent the invoiced value of goods supplied to customers. 
            Sales are recognized upon delivery of goods and passage of title 
            to customers.
 
        j)  Government Assistance and Investment Tax Credits
 
            Government Assistance and Investment Tax Credits are recorded on 
            the accrual basis and are accounted for as a reduction of the 
            related current or capital expenditures.
 
        k)  Net Income per Weighted Average Common Shares
 
            Net Income per common shares is computed by dividing net income 
            for the period by the weighted number of common shares outstanding 
            during the period.

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
        l)  Use of Estimates
 
            The preparation of financial statements required management to 
            make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported 
            amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent 
            assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
            the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting 
            period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
        m) Accounting Changes
 
            On February 1, 1996 the company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 
            121, Accounting for the Impairment of long-lived assets and for 
            long-lived Assets to be Disposal Of. SFAS No. 121 requires that 
            long-lived Assets to be held and used by an entity by an entity be 
            reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 
            circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of an asset may 
            not be recoverable. This statement is effective for for financial 
            statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. 
            Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the 
            company's results of operations.
             
            In December 1995, SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
            Compensation, was issued. It introduces the use of a fair 
            value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It 
            encourages, but does not require, companies to to recognized 
            compensation expenses for stock-based compensation to employees 
            based on the new fair value accounting rules. Companies that 
            choose not to adopt the new rules will continue to apply the 
            existing accounting rules contained in Accounting Principles Board 
            Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. However, 
            SFAS No. 123 requires companies that choose not to adopt the new 
            fair value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net income and 
            earnings per share under the new method. SFAS No. 123 is effective 
            for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 
            15, 1995. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of 
            SFAS No. 123.

General

     The statements contained in this Prospectus that are not historical are 
forward looking statements, including statements regarding the Company's 
expectations, beliefs or strategies regarding the future.  Forward looking 
statements include the Company's statements regarding liquidity, anticipated 
cash needs and availability and anticipated expense levels.  It is important 
to note that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those 
in such forward looking statements.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended Oct 31, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended Oct 31,1996.

     Revenues for nine months ended October 31, 1997 were $8,720,594, a 10.8% 
increase over prior year revenues of $7,867,035.  This increase was due to 
growth in Renee's branded business (launch of incrementally new Renee's 
Gourmet Naturally Light-TM- dressings last year), food service (incremental 
Scotts Hospitality/KFC business) and private label (Shaw's, Wegman's in the 
United States and Horizon's launch across Canada in April 1997).

     Gross profit for nine months ended October 31, 1997 was 32.9% of net 
revenues, a substantial improvement as compared to the same quarter one year 
ago, which was 30.3%.  This positive change can be attributed to improvements 
in operational efficiency and cost of goods.  Lower contracted prices for 
oil, cheese and other primary ingredients have contributed as well as lower 
than planned factory overhead and direct labor expenses.  Gross margins were 
not affected by price changes, which, for the most part, remained unchanged, 
as compared to the prior year.

     Selling and Marketing expenses increased by $277,465 in the nine months 
ended October 31, 1997 over 1996.  A percentage of the increase over the 
prior year reflects a continuation of incremental support costs against the 
launch of Renee's Gourmet Naturally Light-TM- and a focused strategy to invest 
in the growth of branded business through increased advertising and consumer 
promotions. General and Administrative expenses of $798,530 were 37.6% higher 
than prior year, reflecting both incremental costs associated with the 
completion of the Public Offering October 9, 1997 and increased spending to 
support sales growth.

Income from operations decreased $72,332 to $171,488 for the nine months 
ended October 31, 1997 versus the prior year.  This decrease in income from 
operations is directly a result of continued sales growth and improved gross 
margins, which was more than offset by investment in consumer promotions, 
advertising and fixed overheads expenses year to date.

                                                                              10

                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's net increase in cash flow from operations for the quarter 
ending October 31, 1997 was $3,625,413 which reflects primarily net proceeds 
of the Company's Public Offering effective October 9, 1997.  Increase in cash 
from operating activities totalled $1,041,562.  Net Income of $109,795, 
traced primarily to increased sales and gross profits.  Accounts payable and 
accrued liabilities increased by $785,396, reflecting increased purchases and 
selling, administration expenses.  Excess cash balances were used to reduce 
bank indebtedness during the period as well as paydown an existing bank loan 
from Business Development Bank of Canada and certain unsecured creditors 
which the Company owed amounts to under settlement agreements shown as long 
term debt.

     Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ending 
October 31, 1997 were $1,942,550.  This reflected capital additions of 
$527,344 and the remainder towards the purchase of the Company's existing 
facility from its landlord.  This transaction was completed October 28, 1997 
and was financed by a 10 year mortgage loan of $997,648 from the Company's 
current banker, the National Bank of Canada.  The Company believes this 
transaction will secure a manufacturing site (with significant available 
capacity needed for substantial growth) over a longer period of time versus 
three years remaining on the previous lease agreement.  The Company will also 
realize substantial savings in anticipated increased lease expenses as well 
as be able to take advantage of declining realty tax rates in the future.

     This new loan facility bears an interest at Canadian prime rate plus 
 .75%, calculated daily and paid monthly in arrears.  The Company has the 
option to fix the interest rate at anytime for a term of 1-5 years at a fixed 
rate equal to the Bank's Cost of Funds plus 1.85%.  All borrowings are 
collateralized by the assets of the Company under a General Security 
Agreement and the assignment of a Lease between the Company, Excelle Brands 
Food Corporation and Intercorp Foods Ltd. (for a minimum of ten years), and 
provides for rental income sufficient to cover principal and interest 
payments 1.15 times.

     The Company received net proceeds of an Offering effective October 9, 
1997 in a net amount of $3,798,400.  Included in this amount are proceeds of 
$13,898 representing underwriters exercise of an overallotment option on 
159,750 warrants at .10 per warrant, completed October 28, 1997.  Part of the 
proceeds from the Offering were used to repay promissory notes in the 
aggregate principal amount of $625,000 ("Bridge Notes").  These notes 
represented commitments remaining from the Company's completion of a private 
placement in May 1997 and included accrued interest of $30,000.  The 
remainder of those expenses incurred in order to complete the Offering 
reflected underwriting fees, legal, accounting, printing and other necessary 
expenditures netted against proceeds.

                                                                             11
<PAGE>

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)



     The Company believes that the proceeds of the Offering, coupled with 
income from operations will fulfill the Company's working capital needs for 
the next two to three years.  It is the Company's intention to utilize a 
significant portion of the proceeds to aggressively seek synergistic 
acquisitions which would utilize currently available capacity.  The Company 
also intends to support its branded Renee's business through increased 
marketing, advertising and distribution throughout North America.  As the 
Company continues to grow, bank borrowings, other debt placements and equity 
offerings may be considered, in part, or in combination, as the situation 
warrants.  

                                                                              12
