                         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 February 28, 1997
and March 1, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income
for the three-month periods ended February 28, 1997 and March 1, 1996 and the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods
ended February 28, 1997 and March 1, 1996. 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, 1996.

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 by Company-operated restaurants for these 31
stores from the date of acquisition to March 1, 1996 (24 days) were $2,167,564
and related cost of sales was $1,966,916.

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 periods ended February 28, 1997 and March 1, 1996.

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 period ended February 28, 1997, 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 first quarter of
1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996, 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 1997 with the first three months of 1996.

    Company-operated restaurants


The increase during the first three months of 1997 when compared to the first
three months of 1996 of $6,944,783 in net sales resulted primarily from an
increase of $3,380,757 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 $983,844 in sales of promotional items sold to
DAIRY QUEEN stores, and an increase of $2,643,061 in equipment sales to
franchisees.

Permanent and temporary placement and training fees by Firstaff, Inc., increased
by $149,988 during the first three months of 1997 when compared to the first
three months of 1996. On March 31, 1997 (subsequent to the end of first
quarter), the Company sold all of its interest in Firstaff, Inc. The impact of
this transaction will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

Sales by company-operated restaurants increased by $5,071,144 when comparing the
first three months of 1997 with the first three months of 1996 (December 1, 1995
to March 1, 1996) primarily due to the absence of company-operated restaurants'
operations prior to February 7, 1996.

Service fee income was flat primarily due to the elimination in 1997 of
intercompany service fees of $202,845 in the first three months of 1997 due from
company-operated restaurants acquired in February 1996.

The increase of $1,022,941 in the first three months of 1997 in selling, general
and administrative expenses was primarily from additional personnel and other
costs required to support and develop a higher overall level of operations.

The increase in net interest income of $186,156 in the first three months of
1997 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 1997 period with the
1996 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 February 28, 1997, include $35.3 million in cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company believes it has
sufficient capital to meet existing and presently anticipated needs.
