information has been omitted.  For further information, refer to the 
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the 
Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1995.

The Company calculates its income tax provision for interim periods by 
estimating its annual effective tax rate and applying this rate to the income 
of the interim period.  The effective tax rate applied was 39.3 percent for 
the quarters ended March 1, 1996, and 39.5 percent for the period ended 
February 24, 1995.

Earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted average number of 
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

The Company's business is seasonal in nature, and the results of operations 
for the quarters ended March 1, 1996, may not be indicative of the results for 
the full year.

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

General:

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from service and franchise fees 
received from franchisees and the sale of perishable and nonperishable 
supplies and equipment for use by franchised stores.  Although the Company 
does not allocate interest or selling, general and administrative expenses by 
products sold or services rendered, it believes that a major portion of its 
operating income results from franchise service fees.   

The following table sets forth certain information as to the number of stores 
in the "Dairy Queen," "Orange Julius," "Karmelkorn," and "Golden Skillet" 
systems.

Results of Operations:

The improvement in the Company's results of operations for the first quarter 
of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994, reflects an increase in net 
sales and an increase in net interest income.  These increases were partially 
offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following table indicates as a percentage of revenue, line items from the 
income statement, and the percentage increase/decrease of such items when 
comparing the first three months of 1996 with the first three months of 1995.

*Not meaningful

On February 7, 1996, the Company acquired 10 "Dairy Queen"/"Brazier" stores 
and a majority interest in 21 other "Dairy Queen"/"Brazier" stores located in 
Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana.  Net sales for these 31 stores from the date 
of acquisition to March 1, 1996 (22 days) were $2,167,564 and related cost of 
sales was $1,966,916.

The increase of $5,935,057 (excluding corporate store sales) in net sales 
resulted primarily from an increase of $4,445,964 in unit sales of non-frozen 
foods, paper and plastics to authorized warehouses (who in turn sell to 
franchisees), a decrease of $668,455 in equipment sales due primarily to a 
lower level of new store development, an increase of $678,035 in sales of 
promotional items sold to "Dairy Queen" stores and an increase of $867,649 in 
permanent and temporary placement fees by Firstaff, Inc.

The increase of $199,999 in selling, general and administrative expenses was 
primarily from an increase in personnel and legal support costs.

The increase in net interest income of $228,562 is primarily the result of an 
increase in the funds available for investing in interest-generating activities.

The increase in net income per share when comparing the 1996 period with the 
1995 period was due to an increase in the Company's net income and to a 
decrease in the average number of common and common equivalent shares 
outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: 
- --------------------------------

Available liquid resources at March 1, 1996, include $38.6 million in cash, 
cash equivalents and marketable securities.  The Company believes it has 
sufficient capital to meet existing and presently anticipated needs.
