     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
     and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     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.

     Sales of Corporately Managed Stores are recognized as they are
     recorded.

     Revenue from Proprietary products are recognized as they are recorded.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

     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.

3.   NOTES RECEIVABLE

     Notes receivable are due from franchisees with interest at varying
     rates and repayable in scheduled instalments.

     follows:

     Royal Bank of Canada, in consideration for retiring the outstanding

     quarterly in arrears.  At the option of the holder the dividend may be paid

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL


     The system-wide retail sales for the six months ended December 31,
     1996 were $14,115,000 compared to $15,686,000 a decrease of $1,571,000 or
     9.3% for the same six month period last year.  The sales decline can be
     attributed to a number of factors including the closure of several
     locations due to non renewable lease agreements and to a public
     transportation strike in the Ottawa region where the company has 27
     franchised locations.

     Royalty Revenue only declined by 4.5% as detailed in "Results of
     Operations", below.

     Management is encouraged by the result of its overhead reduction
     measures resulting in a Net Income for the quarter ended December 31,
     1996 of $51,838.00 compared to a loss of ($14,837.00) for the same
     period last fiscal year.  Management anticipates that this trend will
     continue in the third and fourth quarters of this fiscal year ending
     June 30, 1997.

                                (CANADIAN DOLLARS)


QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995.

     Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 decreased
     $499,000 or 33.6% to $986,000 from $1,485,000 for the same period last
     year.  The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from:

          *    The sales of corporately managed stores decreased by $610,000 
               as a result of management's decision to divest itself from 
               most corporately managed stores.

          *    Royalties decreased $22,000 or 4.5% to $469,000 compared to 
               $491,000 for the same period last year, primarily as a result 
               of the decline in system sales as noted in "General " above.

               Supplier incentives increased $26,000 or 10.6% to $276,000 
          *    compared to $250,000 for the same period last year.

               Franchising decreased $4,000 or 61.4% to 3,000 compared to 
          *    $7,000 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 proprietary products to distributors 
               for distribution to the franchised and corporately managed 
               locations.  Revenues from those sales were $166,000.

     Expenses for the quarter ended December 30, 1996 decreased $603,000 or
     42.2% to $623,000 from $1,225,000 for the same period last year.  The
     decrease in expenses relate to the following:

          *    Cost associated with managed franchised stores decreased 
               $515,000 a direct result of the decrease in the number of 
               corporately managed stores.

          *    Head Office and Administration cost decreased $58,000 or 11.6% 
               to $441,000 from $499,000 for the same period last year.  The 
               decreased in cost is a direct result of management's decision 
               to reduce corporate overheads.  Management anticipates that 
               the decrease in Head Office and Administration will continue 
               throughout the 3rd and 4th quarter.

          *    The cost of purchasing certain proprietary products for resale 
               to distributors, which commenced last fiscal year, was $46,000.

                             AS AT DECEMBER 31, 1996
                                (CANADIAN DOLLARS)


EXPENSES FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 (CONT'D)

          *    Interest expense decreased by $24,000 or 38.7% to $38,000 from 
               $62,000 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 December 31, 1996 was $52,000 
               compared to a loss of ($14,000) for the same period last year.

WORKING CAPITAL

The working capital deficit at the end of the period was $417,000 compared to a
working capital of $146,000 for the same period last year.  This regression of
$563,000 in the working capital deficit was a result of management's decision to
capitalize some stores held for resale and depreciate them over the next 60
months.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

During the quarter the operating cash flow was $199,147 compared to an outflow
of $(374,535) 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.
