                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
--------------------------------

     Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc. was incorporated in Colorado in 1984 and
     is engaged in the business of marketing and franchising Pak Mail service
     centers and retail stores which specialize in custom packaging and crating
     of items to be mailed or shipped. For the period from March 1, 2000 through
     May 31, 2000, the Company awarded 6 individual franchises. As of March 31,
     2000, the Company had 341 domestic and 35 international individual stores
     operating, and 23 domestic and 7 international area franchises in
     existence. In addition, 26 domestic franchise agreements have been issued
     for stores not yet operating.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pak Mail
     Centers of America, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pak Mail Crating
     and Freight Service, Inc. (together, the "Company"). All significant
     inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
     consolidation.


Note 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
----------------------------

     The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
     in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the
     Company's management, the interim financial statements include all
     adjustments necessary in order to make the interim financial statements not
     misleading.

     The results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and for
     the six months ended May 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
-----------------------------------------------------------------

     The following information should be read in conjunction with the un-audited
     consolidated financial statements included herein. See Item 1.


     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     -------------------------------

     The Company used cash of $62,147 in operations and $83,092 in investing
     activities during the six months ended May 31, 2000. $193,500 in cash was
     provided by financing activities during the six months ended May 31, 2000
     with the primary source of these funds being $260,000 borrowed against a
     $300,000 line of credit.

                                       5

     Deferred revenue decreased $17,754 to $645,435 as a result of recognizing
     the sale of new franchises as training was completed. Nine new franchisees
     completed training or opened their store during the period and revenue of
     $359,210 was recognized on these sales. The Company anticipates that all of
     the currently deferred individual franchise fees and commissions will be
     recognized in fiscal 2000.


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ---------------------

     Three months ended May 31, 2000, compared to three months ended May 31,
     1999
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Revenues
     --------
     Total revenues increased $245,731 (23.56%) from $1,043,072 for the three
     months ended May 31, 1999, to $1,288,803 for the three months ended May 31,
     2000. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in royalties from
     franchisees (up 10.21% from $570,093 to $628,293), individual franchise
     fees (up 57.70% from $193,600 to $305,310), sales of equipment, supplies
     and services (up 29.06% from $196,568 to $253,689) and PSS licensing and
     maintenance fees (up from $0 to $88,150).

     The $58,200 increase in royalties for the three months ended May 31, 2000
     as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1999, is due to an increase
     in average store volume and the increase in number of stores open.

     The $111,710 increase in individual franchise fees is due to the increased
     number of store sales recognized during the three month period ended May
     31, 2000 as compared to the same prior year period.

     The $57,121 increase in sales of equipment, supplies and services is due to
     the increased number of new franchisees that purchased equipment and the
     Company's decision to assemble and sell computers during the three months
     ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same prior year period. New computers
     are required to run the new PSS software developed by the Company. The
     Company recognized revenue from PSS licensing and maintenance fees during
     the quarter ended May 31, 2000, whereas the software had not been developed
     or licensed during the quarter ended May 31, 1999.

     Costs and Expenses
     ------------------
     Total expenses increased $700,536 (67.44%) from $1,038,794 for the three
     months ended May 31, 1999, to $1,739,330 for the three months ended May 31,
     2000. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in selling,
     general and administrative (up 51.95% from $459,574 to $698,309), cost of
     sales of equipment, supplies and services (up 37.18% from $166,256 to
     $228,073) and the $362,854 write-off of a significant portion of the
     development cost of the PSS Version 1 software which did not function as
     anticipated.

     The $238,735 increase in selling, general and administrative for the three
     months ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same prior year period relates
     primarily to rent paid for two facilities due to the inability to rent the
     Company's previous office space, an increase in monthly rent at the new
     facility, an increase in the allowance for bad debt of $67,648, an increase
     in wages in benefits of $57,434 due to hiring additional employees to
     service the PSS software, and an increase in telephone expenses from adding
     additional telephone lines to handle the PSS software.

                                       6
<PAGE>


     The $61,817 increase in cost of goods sold is due to an associated increase
     in sales of equipment.

     There is a $362,854 increase in impairment of capitalized software costs
     for the three months ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same prior year
     period. Due to the non-functionality of certain pieces of the PSS software
     program version 1, the decision has been made to completely re-write the
     program using a different database to ease the maintenance and modularity
     of the program. Significant costs were incurred to correct bugs in the
     version 1 program during the month of February 2000. PSS version 1 is still
     being used by the franchisees but the program is unstable, locks up
     frequently and is not suitable for continued use. Portions of version 1
     costing $293,000 will be integrated into PSS version 2 and will be
     amortized over a three-year period along with the PSS version 2 development
     costs now being incurred. The new PSS version 2 costs are expected to total
     approximately $250,000 for a combined capital cost of $543,000.
     Amortization of the capitalized costs will begin on the release date of PSS
     version 2, currently estimated as September 1, 2000. For the three-month
     period of March 1, 2000 to May 31, 2000, $362,854 of the original
     development cost was impaired. This impairment, combined with the $195,000
     impairment for the first quarter of 2000, totals a $557,854 write-off as
     impaired on a total capitalized expenditure of $850,854, amounting to a
     65.56% write-off.

     Six months ended May 31, 2000 compared to the six months ended May 31, 1999
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Revenue
     -------
     Total revenues increased 21.48% or $462,115 for the six months ended May
     31, 2000 compared to the six months ended May 31, 1999. The main increases
     were in royalties (up 10.36% from $1,311,993 to $1,447,929), sales of
     equipment, supplies and services (up 41.15% from $347,082 to $489,909),
     individual franchise fees (up 35.83% from $264,450 to $359,210), and PSS
     license & maintenance fees (up from $0 to $149,500).

     The $135,936 increase in royalties primarily results from the increased
     number of stores operating and an increase in average store volume.

     The increase of $142,827 in sales of equipment supplies and services is
     attributable to the Company's entry into the computer hardware sales
     business.

     The $94,760 increase in individual franchise fees is due to the increased
     number of store sales recognized during the period ended May 31, 2000 as
     compared to the same prior year period.

     The increase in PSS license & maintenance fees is a result of developing a
     software package and selling licenses and maintenance services to the
     Company's franchisees.

     Costs and Expenses
     ------------------
     Costs and expenses increased 67.36% or $1,375,849 for the six months ended
     May 31, 2000 compared to the six months ended May 31, 1999. The main
     increases for the six months ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the prior
     year period were in selling, general and administrative (up 40.26% from
     $948,770 to $1,330,726), cost of sales of equipment, supplies, and services
     (up 73.74% from $301,719 to $524,207), royalties paid to area franchisees
     (up 26.93% from $546,773 to $694,044), advertising (up 59.50% from $72,612
     to $115,817) and the impairment of capitalized software costs.

                                       7
<PAGE>


     The increase of $381,956 in selling, general and administrative expense is
     due primarily to rent expense up $108,000 a result of the inability to find
     a sub-lessee for the facilities which were vacated on Parker Road, an
     increase in monthly rent at the new facility on Havana Street and an
     increase in the allowance for bad debt of $67,648.

     The increase of $222,488 in cost of sales of equipment, supplies, and
     services is due to the Company's decision to sell computer hardware to the
     franchisees. In the six month period ended May 31, 1999, there were no
     sales of computer hardware and no associated computer hardware cost of
     goods sold.

     The increase of $147,271 in royalties paid to area franchisees is due to
     the increase in royalties and the area in which they are earned. At
     present, the fastest growing area franchise has the highest percentage
     payout of total royalties and therefore the percentage of royalties paid to
     area franchisees is increasing as a percentage of total royalties.

     The increase of $43,205 in advertising is due primarily to increased
     spending resulting from decreased sales.

     The 557,854 increase in impairment of capitalized software costs is due to
     the write-off of non-functional portions of the PSS software program,
     version 1.
