                   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 June 1, 2000 through
     August 31, 2000, the Company awarded 10 individual franchises. As of August
     31, 2000, the Company had 340 domestic and 35 international individual
     stores operating, and 23 domestic and 7 international area franchises in
     existence. In addition 22 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 nine months ended August 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 $3,316 in operations and $219,910 was used in
     investing activities during the nine months ended August 31, 2000. $266,750
     in cash was provided by financing activities during the nine months ended
     August 31, 2000 with the primary source of these funds being $300,000
     borrowed from D.P Kelly & Associates, a significant shareholder. The
     $300,000 borrowing was combined with the $100,000 borrowed from D.P Kelly &
     Associates last year into a $400,000 demand note with interest calculated
     at Bank One of Chicago's prime rate, payable monthly.

     The company also has a $300,000 line of credit with Key Bank. As of August
     31, 2000, $20,000 was drawn on the line. Interest on the line is payable
     monthly at Key Bank's Prime Rate plus 1.5%. The note matures on March 30,
     2001 and is renewable.

<PAGE>


     Deferred revenue decreased $23,281 to $639,907 as a result of recognizing
     the sale of new franchises as training was completed. Twenty One new
     franchisees completed training or opened their store during the period and
     revenue of $653,760 was recognized on these sales. The Company anticipates
     that eleven of the fifteen currently deferred individual franchise fees and
     commissions will be recognized in fiscal 2000.


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

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

     Revenues
     --------
     Total revenues decreased $163,756 (11.50%) from $1,424,579 for the three
     months ended August 31, 1999, to $1,260,823 for the three months ended
     August 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in
     individual franchise fees (down 36.43% from $463,320 to $294,550), and area
     franchise fees (down 90.85% from $114,000 to $10,426

     The $59,783 increase in royalties for the three months ended August 31,
     2000 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1999, is due to an
     increase in average store volume.

     The $31,723 decrease in sales of equipment, services and supplies for the
     three months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended
     August 31, 1999 is due to the decrease in the number of stores sold and
     opened.

     There was a $103,574 decrease in area franchise fees for the three months
     ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1999
     because no additional areas were sold during the period.

     The $168,770 decrease in individual franchise fees supplies for the three
     months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August
     31, 1999 is due to the decreased number of stores sold.

     The $71,550 increase in PSS licensing & maintenance fees for the three
     months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August
     31, 1999 is a result of developing a software package and selling licenses
     and maintenance services to the Company's franchisees.

     Costs and Expenses
     ------------------
     Total expenses decreased $95,047 (7.87%) from $1,208,036 for the three
     months ended August 31, 1999, to $1,112,989 for the three months ended
     August 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in
     commissions on franchise sales (down 58.81% from $248,118 to $102,210).

     The $145,908 decrease in commissions paid on franchise sales for the three
     months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August
     31, 1999 is due to the decrease in the number of stores sold.

     The $44,516 increase in royalties paid to area franchisees for the three
     months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August
     31, 1999 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 %
     pay-out in royalty rebates and is increasing as a percentage of total
     rebates.

     The $27,963 increase in interest paid for the three months ended August 31,
     2000 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1999 reflects the
     increase in borrowing by the company.

<PAGE>


     Nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August
     31, 1999
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Revenue
     -------
     Total revenues increased 8.34% or $289,359 for the nine months ended August
     31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1999. The main
     increases were in royalties (up 10.29% from $1,901,438 to $2,097,157),
     sales of equipment supplies and services (up 20.01% from $555,359 to
     $666,463), individual franchise fees (down 10.17% from $727,770 to
     $653,760), PSS license & maintenance fees (up from $0 to $221,050).

     The $195,719 increase in royalties for the nine months ended August 31,
     2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1999 is due to an
     increase in average store volume.

     The increase of $111,104 in sales of equipment supplies and services for
     the nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended
     August 31, 1999 is attributable to the Company's entry into the computer
     hardware sales business.

     The $74,010 decrease in individual franchise fees for the nine months ended
     August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1999 is due to
     the decrease in number of stores sold.

     There was a $143,705 decrease in area franchise fees for the nine months
     ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1999
     because no additional areas were sold during the period. The revenue
     recognized relates to current year amortization of amounts deferred in
     prior years.

     The $221,050 increase in PSS license & maintenance fees for the nine months
     ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1999 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 39.40% or $1,280,802 for the nine months ended
     August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1999. The main
     increases for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine
     months ended August 31, 1999 were in selling, general and administrative,
     (up 25.87% from $1,455,721 to $1,832,282), cost of sales of equipment and
     supplies (up 44.03% from $482,086 to $694,350), royalties paid to area
     franchisees (up 25.41% from $754,870 to $946,657) advertising, (up 30.02%
     from $111,960 to $145,565) and impairment of capitalized software costs up
     $557,854 from $0. Commissions on franchise sales decreased 38.58% from
     $376,788 to $231,440.

     The increase of $376,561 in selling, general and administrative for the
     nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August
     31, 1999 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 $212,264 in cost of sales of equipment and supplies for the
     nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August
     31, 1999 is due to the company's decision to sell computer hardware to the
     franchisees. In the previous 9 month period there were no sales of computer
     hardware and no associated computer hardware cost of goods sold.

     The increase of $191,787 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 % payout in
     royalty rebates and is increasing as a percentage of total rebates.

     The increase of $33,605 in advertising is due primarily to updating the art
     work in the sales brochures.

<PAGE>


     There is a $557,854 increase in impairment of capitalized software costs
     for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended
     August 31, 1999. A decision was made to re-write the program using a
     different database to increase the modularity of the program and reduce
     future maintenance costs. PSS version 1 is currently being used by the
     franchisees. 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. For the nine-month period of December 31, 1999 to August
     31, 2000, $557,854 of the original development cost was impaired.
     Amortization of the capitalized costs will begin on the release date of PSS
     version 2, now estimated as October 31, 2000. This impairment represents a
     $557,854 write-off as impaired on a total capitalized expenditure of
     $850,854, amounting to a 65.56% write-off.

     The decrease of $145,348 in commissions on franchise sales for the nine
     months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended August 31,
     1999 is due to the sale of fewer stores.
