                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)


NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

Information as of June 30, 1996 and for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 is unaudited.  The information in the unaudited financial statements
reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
fair presentation of the financial statements so as not to be misleading.  These
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These financial statements are
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently may
not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles or those normally made in the annual Form 10-K filing. 
Any required information omitted is either insignificant or is not applicable.


NOTE 2 - LOSS PER SHARE:

Loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares outstanding of
24,000,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 10,000,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. 


NOTE 3 - INVENTORY:

Inventory consists primarily of food and beverage inventories sold through its
restaurant and sports memorabilia sold through its wholly owned subsidiary
Dreams Franchise Corporation.


NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company has guaranteed five store lease obligations of third party and
former employee franchisees of Dreams Franchise Corporation, which are in
default at June 30, 1996 because the Company has not obtained written landlord
approval for these subleases.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, total revenue decreased $2,606,000,
when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995, due primarily to the
decrease in restaurant revenue of $2,555,000.  Restaurant revenue decreased
during the three months ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the three month
period ended June 30, 1995 due to the sale or closure of all the Company's
restaurants during February and March 1996, except the single Heidi's restaurant
located in San Mateo, California.

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $2,882,000
when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995 due primarily to the sale
or closure of all but one restaurant location.  Restaurant cost of sales as a
percentage of restaurant revenue decreased by 4 percent during the three months
ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the same three month period in 1995, due to
the fact that unprofitable restaurants were sold or closed during February and
March 1996.  Retail cost of sales as a percentage of retail revenue decreased by
6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1995 due to improved profitability on products sold. 
Retail operating expenses have increased by $12,000 during 1996 when compared to
1995 due to increased franchise advertising and promotion.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company has a working capital deficit of $3,005,000
compared to a working capital deficit at March 31, 1996 of $2,775,000.  The
increase in the working capital deficit was due primarily to the loss for the
three month period ended June 30, 1996.  However, during the three month period
ended June 30, 1996, the Company managed to decrease the loss from operations by
$276,000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995, due primarily to
the sale or closure of restaurant locations as discussed above and the reduction
of interest and overhead.

Management is hopeful that the Company can continue to reduce costs and that the
Company will be successful in furthering the business growth of Dreams Franchise
Corporation (DFC).  During the three month period ended June 30, 1996, several
new franchisees made initial franchise payments to DFC.  These franchises are
expected to open store locations during the next 4 to 6 months.  Despite the
improvement in DFC franchise sales, the Company will still require significant
capital resources during the remainder of fiscal year 1997.  Management is
unable to predict what additional financing will be available, either from
related or other parties, in the future.  The failure of the Company to meet any
of these objectives could have a significant negative impact on the liquidity
and capital resources of the Company.

Management does not believe that the effects of inflation and changing prices
will have a significant effect on the Company.
