         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                JANUARY 31, 2000 AND 1999

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
include all the information and disclosures required for complete
financial statements.

Business

The Company is in the business of acquiring businesses with the
goal of building well-run, independent subsidiaries who have solid
market niches.

Until June 1, 1995, the Company operated a chain of seafood
restaurants (Cami s The Seafood Place) primarily in South Florida
(Dade and Broward counties). On that date, the Company licensed its
operations of the restaurants to an independent operator. The
Company currently has two licensees that operate seven restaurants.

On February 25, 1999, the Company, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, acquired substantially all the assets of John Ziner
Lumber Limited, an Ontario Corporation involved in the distribution
and remanufacturing of lumber (See note 14).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near
term include the  evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill and
other intangible assets.

Inventory

Inventory is primarily composed of raw materials and is stated at
the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.

         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 JANUARY 31, 2000 AND 1999

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for major
betterment and additions are charged to the asset accounts, while
replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not extend the lives
of the respective assets are charged to expense in the period the
costs are incurred.

Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Businesses Acquired

Cost in excess of net assets of businesses acquired ( goodwill )
represents the unamortized excess of the cost of acquiring a
business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets
received at the date of acquisition, and is primarily from the
acquisition of the assets of John Ziner Lumber Limited and Cami s,
The Seafood Place restaurants.  Such goodwill is being
amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 6 to 20
years.

It is the Company s policy to evaluate the recoverability of
goodwill and other intangible and long-lived assets on a periodic
basis, based primarily on estimated future net cash flows generated
by the assets giving rise to the goodwill, intangibles and other
long-lived assets, and the estimated recoverable values of these
assets.  Such estimated future net cash flows take into
consideration management s plans with regard to future operations
(See Note 2), and represent management s best estimate of expected
future results.  In the opinion of management, the results of the
projected future operations are considered adequate to recover the

included in other comprehensive income for the period. Fluctuations
arising from intercompany transactions that are of a long term
nature are accumulated as cumulative translation adjustments.


Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the periods.

On February 25, 1999, the Company, through a wholly owned
subsidiary, acquired substantially all the assets of John Ziner
Lumber Limited, an Ontario company involved in the distribution
and remanufacturing of lumber (See note 14). The Company intends
to use the acquired assets in the same type of business.

For the quarter ended January 31, 2000, sales from the lumber
operation were $24,439,453. Proforma sales for the quarter ended in
1999, taking into consideration the lumber operation as if the
acquisition had taken place on November 1, 1998, would be
$6,750,906. Sales in the quarter ended 2000 show an increase of
262% over proforma sales for the quarter ended in 1999.

Licensing fees

Until June 1, 1995, the Company operated a chain of seafood
restaurants (Cami s The Seafood Place) primarily in South Florida
(Dade and Broward counties). On that date, the Company licensed its
operations of the restaurants to an independent operator.

The Company currently has two licensees that operate seven
restaurants under licensing agreements beginning March 1, 1997, for
an initial term of five years. The term automatically renews for
another five year term provided that the Licensee meets the gross
sales goals as set forth in the agreement.

The Company receives licensing fees equal to 3% of the gross sales
of five restaurants located in Dade and Broward County, and 3% to
6% of the gross sales of a sixth restaurant located in Pembroke
Pines; operated under a license by Cam Fam, Inc. Additionally, the
Company receives licensing fees equal to 3% of the gross sales of
two restaurants operated under a license by Oceancam, Inc.

Licensing fee revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2000
and 1999 were $77,997 and $88,538, respectively.

The Company is currently seeking to expand its operations through
licensing agreements with recognized restaurant operators, whereby
existing restaurant chains or management teams would convert and/or
develop new restaurants utilizing the Cami s format in return for
a license fee based on a percentage of sales. For this purpose the
Company is developing promotional material and advertising. Such
materials are to be developed by the Company in conjunction with
CamFam but belong to the Registrant. Future licensed units will pay
a fee as a percentage of monthly sales to contribute to this fund.
As of the date of this report the Company has not negotiated with
or entered into similar arrangements with any other party.


Interest and Other Income

Other income, mainly from interest on notes receivable, for the
three months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 was $4,252 and $9,247
respectively.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Costs and Expenses Lumber Operation

Cost of sales of lumber for the quarter ended January 31, 2000 was
$20,074,426, or 82% of sales. Proforma cost of sales for the
quarter ended in 1999 would be $5,200,629, or 77% of sales. The
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in 2000 is
consistent with the increase in volume of sales of 262%.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended January 31, 2000 were $1,696,322 compared to $23,388 for the
same quarter in 1999. The increase is due the consolidated
operations of Ziner Limber in 2000 (See note 14).

Proforma selling, general and administrative for the quarter ended
in 2000, including Ziner Lumber, would be $1,301,713. The quarter
ended in 2000 shows an increase of 30% over the proforma amount for
the quarter ended in 1999. This increase is consistent with the
increased volume of operations (See Lumber Sales).

Depreciation and amortization

In 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company issued shares of common stock
in exchange for services to be rendered over periods exceeding a
year. A portion of these services were deferred and are being
amortized over the term of the agreements. Amortization of
consulting agreements for the three months ended January 31, 2000
and 1999 was $86,666 and $37,516, respectively.

Depreciation for the three months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999
was $123,279 and $-0-. Depreciation in 2000 relates to the assets
acquired from John Ziner Lumber Limited (See note 14).

Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets for the three months
ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 was $126,265 and $42,500,
respectively. The increase was due to goodwill and intangible
assets resulting from the acquisition of the assets of John Ziner
Lumber Limited (See note 14).

Other Income and (Charges)

During the quarter ended January 31, 1999 the Company wrote off the
carrying value of its fixed assets and intangible assets related
to its restaurant operations, resulting in a charge to income
of $130,463.
Interest expense for the three months ended January 31, 2000 and
1999 was $447,831 and $30,803 respectively. The increase was due
primarily to interest on debt incurred in connection with the
acquisition of the assets of John Ziner Lumber Limited (See note
14).

Capital Expenditures and Depreciation

During the quarter ended January 31, 2000 the Company had capital
expenditures of approximately $150,000 related to the lumber
operation.
