                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                 (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Odessa 
Foods International, Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 1997 and for 
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures 
required under generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed 
or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures are 
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) 
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results 
of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of a full 
year.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure 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.

2. BUSINESS

     The Company continues to operate its own sausage manufacturing and meat 
production facility in order to produce, fresh and on a daily basis, a wide 
range of sausages utilizing what it considers to be a technologically 
advanced installation in Odessa, Ukraine and most recently (as hereinafter 
indicated) in Teplodar, near Odessa. Its present facilities have been, and 
remain, in the process of being expanded into a fully integrated food 
production plant. Most recently, in March, 1997, a new facility became 
operational with meat and sausage production supplemented by modern slaughter 
houses (new plant and machinery having recently been purchased in Switzerland 
so as to encompass to operations). The smaller of such facilities is expected 
to be operational during 1997 with a slaughter house capacity of 200 head per 
day. The larger facility has been fully disassembled for shipment and has 
arrived in Teplodar, near Odessa, for reassembly and is expected to be 
operational in early 1998 after the building for production has been erected. 
The land for such new building for production has been provided to the 
Company by Odessa governmental authorities without charge or cost. Once 
operational (and operating in accordance with European Union standards and 
supplied from piggeries functioning in accordance with Western standards) the 
Company expects to employ approximately 300 to 350 persons, thereby creating 
a capacity for slaughtering and processing of approximately 1,000 to 2,000 
pigs and 400 to 500 cattle per day with approximately half of the meat 
processed into sausage production and the balance to be sold on the market in 
the form of raw meat.

3. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS

     Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $245,876, a 
decrease of $161,685 or 39.7% from $407,561 in the comparable 1896 quarter.

     The Company had net loss of $564,118, or $.04 per share, for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to net loss of $783,593, or $.07 per 
share, for the comparable quarter in 1996.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations and Plan of Operations

    Odessa Foods International, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged, through its
subsidiaries (Odessa Foods Inc. and Hilmac GmbH) in the manufacture of sausages
and related food products in Odessa, Ukraine.

    This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the
consolidated operating results, financial condition and/or liquidity/cash flows
of Company for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 and the
comparative three month period ended September 30, 1996 (as well as for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 and the comparative nine month period
ended September 30, 1996) and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

    As heretofore indicated in the Company's Form 10-KSB for calendar year
ended December 31, 1996, the Company acquired its wholly owned subsidiary,
Odessa Foods, Inc., in November of 1994, in a transaction accounted for using
the pooling of interest method of accounting.

Consolidated Statements of Operations:

    Comparative three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1997.

    Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $205,334 
compared to a net loss of $194,634 for the three months ended September 30, 
1996.  Gross profit decreased by $48,947 in 1997 as compared to 1996 as a 
result of lower sales and higher cost of sales percentages.  Operating 
expenses decreased for the comparative three month period indicated by 
$39,746 as a result of selling, general and administrative expenses 
decreasing by $49,725, while depreciation and amortization increased by 
$9,979.  In addition, the Company incurred additional "Other Expenses" for 
the three month period ended September 30, 1997 of $1,499 consisting of  
foreign currency exchange rate change.

    Comparative nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1997.

    Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $56,418 compared
to a net loss of $783,593 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Gross
profit decreased by $106,614 in 1997 as compared to 1996 as a result of lower
sales and higher cost of sales percentages.  Operating expenses decreased for
the comparative nine month period indicated by $277,918 as a result of selling,
general and administrative expenses decreasing by $281,654, while depreciation
and amortization increased by $3,736.  In addition, the Company incurred
additional "Other Expenses" for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
of $38,310 consisting of interest income of $1,867 offset by foreign currency
exchange rate changes loss of $40,177 (as compared to "Other Income" for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996 of $9,861 consisting of interest
income of $20,500 offset by foreign currency exchange rate changes loss of
$10,639).

Consolidated Balance Sheet:

    Total assets of the Company at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996
were $4,591,526 and $4,184,593 respectively, an increase of $412,933.  Such
increase is primarily attributable to an increase in (a) current assets of
$51,078 (primarily as a result of increases in cash of $6,291, inventories of
$30,958, prepaid expenses of $2,700 and accounts receivable of $11,129), (b)
property and equipment of $138,879 (after taking into account accumulated
depreciation) and (c) other assets of $192,976 (i.e. increase in prepaid lease
costs of $219,976 offset by a $27,000 decrease in intangible assets).

    Current liabilities of the Company at September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996 were $954,786 and $1,029,996 respectively.  The decrease in total current
liabilities of $75,180 is attributable to the fact that accounts payable and
accrued expenses decreased by $24,890 and loan(s) payable decreased by $50,320.

    Stockholders' equity increased by $488,143 from $3,054,597 at December 31,
1996 to $3,542,740 at September 30, 1997.  This increase primarily resulted from
the Company's sale of 2,160,000 shares of its common stock during the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 for an aggregate of $1,086,250 (net of related
expenses) minus the net loss of $564,118 sustained for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and a foreign currency translation adjustment of $33,989.

Cash Requirements and Liquidity

    The Company has been able to satisfy its cash requirements and raise the
necessary capital in order to finance its proposed growth through the sale and
issuance of 1,454,900 shares of its common stock during fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996 for a cash consideration of $1,679,010 and has recently
(during subsequent six month period ended December 31, 1996) sold an additional
200,000 shares for a cash consideration of $335,000.  The shares of Company
common stock referred to herein were sold in accordance with certain terms and
conditions contained in Off-Shores Securities Subscription Agreements and,
accordingly, were sold outside the U.S., not as a registered public offering but
rather in reliance upon Regulation S of the General Rules and Regulations under
the Securities Act of 1933.  A significant portion of the funds raised through
sale of such common shares have been utilized for the purchase of property and
equipment and for prepaid lease costs.  An additional 114,533 shares of common
stock were issued during such period in exchange for goods and services valued
at $104,540.

    Since the close of its December 31, 1996 calendar year the Company has
issued certain additional shares either for (a) conversion of debt into equity
or (b) sale of shares of common stock.  With respect to debt converted into
equity, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 160,000 shares in exchange for
cancellation of indebtedness totaling $100,000.  Such shares were issued on or
about March 7, 1997.  Additionally, and in accordance with Regulation D under
the Securities Act of 1933 the Registrant issued 2,000,000 shares of its common
stock for gross cash consideration of $1,000,000 with said shares being issued
on or about March 25, 1997.

                                     -9-

<PAGE>

    While the Company did not issue any shares of its common stock for cash
consideration (by way of debt and/or equity financing) during the quarter ended
June 30, 1997 it did, however, issue 360,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for and in full consideration for its purchase of its salami production
facilities in Stabio, Switzerland, which shares were issued in the name of
Rapello S.A. an unaffiliated third party pursuant to contractual agreement
whereby such third party is to receive such shares upon completion of certain
specified services directly related to the purchase of the aforesaid facilities.

    Notwithstanding the working capital deficit heretofore referred to and the
fact that the consolidated financial statements to the Company's Form 10-KSB for
calendar year ended December 31, 1996 indicated (in Note 1 thereto) certain
factors which created an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern and further notwithstanding the loss most recently incurred of
$(176,464) for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, Company management nevertheless
continues to believe that the Company will be able to continue its operations
through (a) the raising of additional capital through either debt or equity
financing when, as and if necessary and/or (b) its belief that its operations
will eventually improve sufficiently through utilization of property and
equipment recently purchased so as to enable the Company to increase
productivity and obtain profitability and/or (c) the purchase of necessary
facilities through issuance of shares of common stock in the manner indicated in
the preceding paragraph.

    The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in the number of
its employees and there are no current formal plans with regard to hiring of any
significant number of  additional employees.
