                                   (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 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.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended October 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31,
1999. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1998.

2.  Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies:

The Company is a development stage company, having not yet completed the process
of designing, manufacturing and marketing its sole product, a vending machine
which will cook and dispense French fries. The Company has incurred research and
development costs from inception to October 31, 1998 totaling $2,106,263. The
Company produced 10 preproduction machines for demonstration and sales purposes.
These machines have a book value of $7,000 each. The Company is currently in the
process of producing its first 25 machines, which are in process and included in
inventory at $125,000.00. The difference between the anticipated selling price
and the cost to obtain the machines has been charged to research, machine and
product development costs. The Company had no revenues from operations since
inception and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the
continuation of equity financing to fund the expenses relating to successfully
manufacturing and marketing the vending machine.

3.  Issuance of Common Stock:

After the return to treasury of a total of 287,500 shares, an aggregate of
8,460,669 shares were issued during the nine months ended October 31, 1998. The
following shares were issued during the nine months: 1,825,00 shares were sold
in private placements by the Company; 5,628,854 shares were issued pursuant to
the terms of the Company's convertible note financing (this figure includes
shares issued for interest on the notes); 756,815 shares were issued in payment
of services; 250,000 shares were issued as consideration for the re-acquisition
of an existing distributorship;

An aggregate of 3,104,855 shares were issued during the nine months ended
October 31, 1997, including: 1,500,000 shares issued to Edward Kelly as a
one-time, non-recurring compensation event: 1,142,857 shares issued into escrow,
pursuant to the June 1997 convertible note financing; 509,388 shares issued for
repayment of notes payable (including notes payable to officers/directors);
158,333 shares issued in private placements of restricted common stock: 100,000
shares were issued as payment for commissions: 137,000 shares issued for
settlement of litigation. 442,857 of the aggregate 1,142,857 shares issued into
escrow pursuant to the June 1997 financing remain in escrow and are not deemed
to be outstanding.

4.  April 1998 Financing:

In April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to receive $1,500,000 in
proceeds from the sale of restricted stock to a U.S. corporation. The Company
issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock as consideration for the investment. The
Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 post-split shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.90; the warrants expire April 12, 2001. The
Company also issued 150,000 post-split shares of restricted stock as a
commission on the transaction. The Company and the investor have entered into an
escrow agreement for this transaction and all of the shares were issued into
escrow, pending funding. As of October 31, 1998, $750,000 of the $1,500,000 in
proceeds has been received by the Company and 1,500,000 of the 3,000,000 shares
of restricted common stock held in escrow have been released to the investor.
The balance of funds due are anticipated to be received by December 31, 1998.

ITEM 2.  PLAN OF OPERATION

General


The Company is a development-stage company having not yet completed the exercise
of manufacturing, marketing and selling its sole product, a vending machine
which will cook and dispense French fries (the "Machine"). The Company has
tested the Machine both internally and on various beta locations since December
of 1995. During the period ending October 31, 1998, the Company entered into the
production stage of its lifecycle, having spent the latter half of fiscal 1997
preparing for commercial manufacturing through the process of pre-production
tooling and completion of final production design work.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has had virtually no revenues from operations
and has relied almost exclusively on shareholder loans, limited distribution
deposits and sale of securities to raise working capital to fund operations. At
October 31, 1998 the Company had approximately $40,870 in cash.

While management currently anticipates that the April 1998 financing will allow
it to complete the company's initial production run of machines, no assurances
can be given that the Company will be able to do so. Further, the Company will
need to secure additional funds to allow it to enter into its second production
run of machines, in line with management's current plan of operation. No
assurances can be given that the Company will be able to secure adequate
financing from any source to pursue its current plan of operation, to meet its
obligations or to expand its marketing efforts over the next 12 months. Based
upon its past history, management believes that it may be able to obtain funding
in such manner but is unable to predict with any certainty the amount and terms
thereof. If the Company is unable to obtain needed funds, it could be forced to
curtail or cease its activities.

The Company has, in the past, issued shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase common stock to various parties as payment for services rendered. The
Company intends to continue this practice.

ITEM 3.  FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this report and in future filings by the Company with the
Commission, in the Registrant's press releases or other public or stockholder
communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized
executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to",
"will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project" or similar expressions
are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, including the Company's liquidity constraints,
potential increases in manufacturing costs and delays, pending litigation,
availability of raw materials, competition, demand for the Machine and other
proprietary products, and delays in the distribution process that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those presently anticipated or
projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The
Company wishes to advise readers that actual results for future periods to
differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to
future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake - and specifically, declines any obligation - to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On August 17, 1998, California Food and Vending, Inc. ("CFV") filed a
multi-count law suit in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California against the Company. CFV asserted, in essence, that Tasty
Fries and its Chief Executive Officer, Edward C. Kelly breached the terms of the
settlement reached with it in the prior litigation by failing to sell
distributorships, failing to accede to CFV's to maintain its option at the
pre-reverse split level notwithstanding the fact that the Company's stock went
through a reverse split after the settlement and misrepresenting the Company's
condition at the time of the settlement. CFV's First Amended Complaint was
dismissed with leave to amend only some of the counts. It is the opinion of the
Company's counsel that CFV's law suit lacks merit and that the Company will
prevail.
