Item 1.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company experienced a positive cash flow of $28,026 ($81,195 
cash provided from financing activities, offset by cash used of
$26,346 from investing activities and $26,823 from operating
activities) during the six months ended May 31, 1996.  D. P. Kelly &
Associates LP, an affiliate of the Company's majority shareholder,
made advances in an aggregate amount of $100,000 during the six months 
ending May 31, 1996.

Deferred revenue increased $28,182 to $677,533 at May 31, 1996.
The increase is a result of deferring the recognition of revenue from 8
new individual franchises awarded through May 31, 1996 offset by
the recognition of area franchise revenue that was deferred as of
November 30, 1995.  The Company has deferred the recognition of
revenue with respect to 11 of the 18 individual franchises awarded
during the six months ended May 31, 1996 and has deferred the
recognition of revenue with respect to 15 individual franchise fees as
of May 31, 1996.  The Company anticipates that all of the deferred
individual franchise fees will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 1996.

$81,800), Sales of equipment, supplies and services (down 53.5%

Royalties from franchisees (up 24.8% from $318,915 to $397,932).

The $81,008 decrease in revenue from Area franchise fees is
