    ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles  requires management to make estimates
    and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

    financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
    during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
    estimates.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Franchise revenue arises on the sale of national, area and store
    franchises.  Franchise store revenue is recognized as income when the
    respective purchase and sale agreements have been signed, the funds have
    been received, all material conditions relating to the sale have been
    substantially completed by the Company and the franchise store has
    commenced operations.  Revenue from national and area franchise
    agreements is recognized when the area development agreement has been
    signed and all substantial obligations of the Company have been completed.

    When payment for the sale of a national or area franchise is based on a
    contract over a period longer than twelve months, the Company recognizes
    revenue based on the assessment of collectibility.   The total contract
    is recorded as deferred revenue, and revenue recognition commences when
    payments in excess of 25% of the total contract have been received and
    management has ascertained that there is a sufficient level of certainty
    that the balance of the contract is collectible.

    Deposits that are non-refundable under the franchising agreement are
    recognized as franchising revenue when received.

    Royalties are recognized when they are earned, based on a percentage of the
    franchisees' sales on a weekly basis.

    Supplier incentives are recognized in the period to which the apply.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    Foreign currency transactions are translated using the temporal method. 
    Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities as well as non-monetary
    items carried at market value are translated at year-end exchange rates. 
    Other non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates
    prevailing at the transaction dates.  Revenues and expenses are translated
    at average rates prevailing during the year.  

    Gains or losses resulting from exchange translation are included in income.

    EARNINGS PER SHARE
    Net earnings per share are calculated using the daily weighted average
    number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year plus the
    net additional number of shares which would be issuable upon the
    exercise of stock options, assuming that the Company used the proceeds
    received to purchase additional shares at market value.

    Weighted average number of

    The calculation of fully diluted earnings per share assumes that, if a
    dilutive effect is produced, all convertible securities have been
    converted, all shares to be issued under contractual commitments have been
    issued and all outstanding options have been exercised at the later of the
    beginning of the fiscal period and the option issue date.  The calculation 
    includes an allowance for imputed earnings derived from the investment of
    funds which are assumed to have been received.  Fully diluted earnings per
    share are not presented as they are anti-dilutive.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.

    Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 decreased $430,000
    or 30.9% to $963,000 from $1,363,000 for the same period last year.  The
    decrease in revenue resulted primarily from:

         *    The sales of managed franchises stores decreased by $442,000 as a
              result of  management's decision to divest itself from most
              corporately managed stores.

         *    Royalties decreased $15,000 or 3.6% to $419,000 compared to
              $435,000 for the same period last year.

         *    Supplier incentives decreased $34,000 or 9.7% to $315,000
              compared to $349,000 for the same period last year.

         *    Franchising decreased $45,000 or 73.8% to 16,000 compared to
              $61,000 for the same period last year.

         *    In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 the Company commenced
              purchasing certain proprietary products directly from
              manufacturers and selling the proprietary products to
              distributors for distribution to the franchised and company
              managed locations.  Revenues from those sales were $105,000.

    Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 decreased $477,000 or
    43.1% to $629,000 from $1,106,000 for the same period last year.  The
    decrease in expenses relate to the following:

         *    Cost associated with managed franchised stores decreased $466,000
              a direct result of the decrease in the number of corporately
              managed stores.

         *    Head Office and Administration cost decreased $107,000 or 28.7%
              to $265,000 from $372,000 for the same period last year.  The
              decreased in cost is a direct result of management's decision to
              reduce corporate overheads.

         *    The cost of purchasing certain proprietary products for resale to
              distributors which commenced last fiscal year was $96,000.

         *    Interest expense decreased by $19,000 or 32.8% to $40,000 from
              $59,000 last year.  The decrease is a result of the difference
              between a debenture held by Royal Bank of Canada and its fair
              market value having been completely amortized.

         *    Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $20,000
              compared to a net income of $16,000 for the same period last
              year.

                                      17

WORKING CAPITAL

The working capital deficit at the end of the period was $615,000 compared to a
working capital deficit of $847,000 for the same period last year.  This
improvement of $232,000 in the working capital deficit was achieved through cash
flow from operations and negotiations with the Company's major lenders.  During
the year the term debt owed to the Standard Chartered Bank was acquired by a
company owned by a group of private investors.  A person related to the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is associated with the
investor group.  Also the Company completed an agreement with the Royal Bank of
Canada to reschedule the payment of its debenture.  The debenture was due
October 31, 1996.  The bank has agreed to reschedule the debt payments and
accrued interest.


LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW


During the quarter the operating cash flow was $72,000 compared to an outflow of
$(110,000) for the same quarter of the last fiscal year.  This is the result of
a reduction in interest expense.  An increase in depreciation and amortization
and a decrease in non-cash operating working capital changes.
