(CANADIAN DOLLARS)
1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the

and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial
statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries
from the date of acquisition as follows:
* Treats Inc.

all material respects with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States) and include the following significant accounting policies:
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. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments
become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they
become known.

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

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 (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net earnings (loss) 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.

The calculation of fully diluted earnings per common share assumes that, if a
delusive 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 and is limited to the maximum authorized common stock
available. If all conversions (see note 9) had occurred, the Company would have
had to increase its maximum authorized common shares. Fully diluted earnings per
share are not presented as they are anti-delusive.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, short-term notes receivable
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value
because of the short-term maturities of these items.
The carrying amount of the long-term notes receivable, long-term
subordinated debenture and term terms loans approximates their fair value
because the interest rates approximate market rates.
The fair values of the other long-term debt due to non-arm's length parties
are not determinable, as these amounts are interest-free and due on demand,
and, accordingly, cannot be ascertained with reference to similar debt with
arm's length parties.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GENERAL
The system-wide retail sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1998
were $18,635,000 compared to $20,622,000 a decrease of $1,987,000 or 9.6%
for the same nine month period last year. The sales decline can be
attributed to the Company's decision to close down 24 locations during the
past twelve months. Ten of these locations were in the Ottawa region. The
Company had a contract to supply commissary baked goods to these locations
through a relationship with a contract catering company. The catering
company in question was sold to a company with a controlling interest in a
direct competitor of Treats International Enterprises, Inc. and the Company
elected to discontinue the relationship. The other units closed down were
primarily non-performing locations or locations were the Company could not
establish satisfactory lease terms with the landlord.
