                         INTERNATIONAL DAIRY QUEEN, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company without audit, but include all adjustments which are of a normal
recurring nature and which the Company believes are necessary for a fair
presentation of its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 30, 1996,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended August 30, 1996 and August 25, 1995 and the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
August 30, 1996 and August 25, 1995. The condensed financial statements do not
include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles
since certain footnote 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
three-month and nine-month periods ended August 30, 1996, and 39.5 percent for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 25, 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 periods ended August 30, 1996, may not be indicative of the results for the
full year.



                         INTERNATIONAL DAIRY QUEEN, INC.
           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(R), ORANGE JULIUS(R), KARMELKORN(R), and GOLDEN SKILLET(R)
systems.

Results of Operations:

The improvement in the Company's results of operations for the third quarter and
first nine months of 1996 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of
1995, 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 strong influence of weather on revenue was readily apparent in the first
half of 1996 when cold, snowy and very wet weather across much of North America
adversely affected sales by franchisees.

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 nine months of 1996 with the first nine months of 1995.

The increase during the first nine months of 1996 when compared to the first
nine months of 1995 of $12,846,963 in net sales resulted primarily from an
increase of $11,441,881 in unit sales of frozen, non-frozen foods, paper,
plastics and manufactured novelties to authorized warehouses (who in turn sell
to franchisees), an increase of $1,292,919 in sales of promotional items sold to
DAIRY QUEEN stores and an increase of $963,307 in permanent and temporary
placement and training fees by Firstaff, Inc. These increases were partially
offset by a reduction in equipment sales to franchisees of $1,025,865. The
reasons for the net changes when comparing the third quarter of 1996 with the
third quarter of 1995 are basically the same.

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. Two additional stores have subsequently been acquired.
Net sales for these 33 stores through August 30, 1996, were $19,884,467 and
related cost of sales was $17,430,109. Net sales for the third quarter were
$9,437,777 and related cost of sales was $8,194,149.

Service fee income was flat primarily due to the elimination in 1996 of
intercompany service fees of $795,379 in the first nine months and $377,511 in
the third quarter of 1996 due from company-operated restaurants acquired in
1996.

The increase of $1,049,351 in the first nine months and $306,750 in the third
quarter of 1996 in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily
from an increase in personnel and legal support costs.

The increase in net interest income of $218,319 in the first nine months and
$46,207 in the third quarter of 1996 is primarily the result of an increase in
the funds available for investing in interest-generating activities.

Minority interest represents the income from operations allocated to the
minority ownership in 21 DAIRY QUEEN/BRAZIER stores and Firstaff, Inc.

The increase in net income per share when comparing the 1996 periods with the
1995 periods 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 August 30, 1996, include $41.3 million in cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company believes it has
sufficient capital to meet existing and presently anticipated needs.



                                     PART II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

HUGH COLLINS, ET AL. V. INTERNATIONAL DAIRY QUEEN, INC. AND AMERICAN DAIRY QUEEN
CORPORATION ("ADQ"), (United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia,
Macon Division, No. 94-95-4-MAC (WDO), commenced April 5, 1994). This matter,
previously reported in the Company's Annual Reports (Forms 10-K) for fiscal 1994
and 1995, began as an action by five franchisees in the State of Georgia for
declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, actual damages in an unspecified
amount, treble damages under federal antitrust law, costs, and attorneys' fees.
Plaintiffs' claims were that ADQ's approved supplier program and procedures
constitute a tying arrangement prohibited under Section I of the Sherman
Antitrust Act (15 U.S.C. ss. 1), a breach of contract, a breach of an implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing between the parties, and breach of a
prior settlement agreement. The Company and ADQ filed an answer to plaintiff's
complaints. In December 1994, the parties filed cross-motions for summary
judgment on all issues relating to the supply of cups and lids to the "Dairy
Queen" system. Plaintiffs later amended the complaint to add new claims under
federal antitrust law and state law, and to have the case certified as a class
action. The Company subsequently filed motions for summary judgment dismissing
the antitrust claims. The plaintiffs later withdrew their claims for breach of
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Company and ADQ filed an
answer to the amended complaint. On August 30, 1996, the Court granted the
plaintiffs' motion for class certification, and denied the Company and ADQ's
motion for summary judgment on the antitrust tying motions. No ruling has been
made on the cup and lid motions, on the Company and ADQ's motions to stay the
action to all potential class members who have arbitration clauses in their
franchise agreements, or on the Company and ADQ's motions to certify the class
action and antitrust tying claims for interlocutory appeal, or to reconsider
those orders. No trial date has been set. The Company and ADQ intend to
vigorously defend against plaintiffs' claims.

All other items required under Part II have been omitted since they are
inapplicable or the answers are negative.
