                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             AS AT DECEMBER 31, 1999
                               (CANADIAN DOLLARS)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1.     BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

        These consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the
        Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as follows:

         *         Treats Inc.
         *         Treats Ontario Inc.
         *         Chocolate Gourmet Treats Limited
         *         Treats Canada Corporation

        All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
        with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (which also
        conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally
        accepted 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 fees and construction 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
        and all material conditions relating to the sale have been substantially
        completed by the Company or 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 they apply.

        INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC COMPANY

        The investment in public company is accounted for at cost. Under the
        cost method, the investment is recorded at its original cost, and
        earnings from the investment are recognized only to the extent of
        dividends received or receivable.

</TABLE>
        FRANCHISE RIGHTS

        Franchise rights are carried at the lower of cost less accumulated
        amortization, and fair market value. Amortization is provided for on the
        straight-line basis over 10 years.

        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.

        ADVERTISING COMMITMENT

        The Company receives prescribed amounts from franchisees to fund and
        develop advertising and promotion campaigns regionally and nationally.
        The funds collected, net of costs incurred, are recorded as an
        asset/liability for future advertising and promotion.

4       INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC COMPANY

        In 1998 the Company sold the U.S. area rights for consideration of
        2,800,000 class "A" convertible preference shares in EMC Group Inc., a
        U.S. public company incorporated in the State of Florida, via a
        management buy-out by former employees of the company. The investment
        has been recorded at the cost of equipment and franchise rights
        transferred to EMC Group Inc. based on the available information at the
        time of the sale.

        The preference shares are convertible to common stock for the equivalent
        of US$2,800,000 based on average market value of the common stock for
        the 60 days prior to the date of conversion, subject to approval of the
        board of directors of EMC Group Inc. EMC Group Inc. will only permit the
        conversion of preferred shares to common shares of EMC Group Inc as long
        as the conversion does not exceed 10% of the total number of outstanding
        common shares of EMC Group Inc.

        Contrary to the agreement with the Company, since incorporation, EMC
        Group Inc. has not raised sufficient capital, nor has it made any
        significant additional store openings. In addition, EMC Group Inc. has
        not been profitable and management does not anticipate an improvement in
        operations in the U.S. in the foreseeable future. Based on the above,
        management believes that there has been a permanent impairment in value,
        and the asset has been written down to its market value in the 1999
        fiscal year.

7.      LONG-TERM DEBT (CONT'D)

        (a)         The Company is in default of their loan covenants with
                    3193853 Canada Inc. and Royal Bank Capital Corporation.
                    3193853 Canada inc. and Royal Bank Capital have not waived
                    their rights to call the term loan and subordinated
                    debenture at a future date and accordingly the debt are
                    classified as current.

        Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 related to
        long-term debt was $76,638 (1998 - $60,827).

        The minimum future principal repayments required over the next five
        years are as follows:

8.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        (a)        The Company is a defendant in several actions arising in the
                   normal course of business. The Company settled most claims
                   subject to certain terms in the amount of $1,250,000, which
                   has been reflected in the statement of income of June 30,
                   1999.

                   As management is of the opinion that the remaining claims,
                   counterclaims or appeals is not determinable at this time, no
                   additional provision has been recorded.

8.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONT'D)

        (b)        The Company has lease commitments for corporate-owned stores
                   and office premises. The Company also, as the franchisor, is
                   the lessee in most of the franchisees' lease agreements. The
                   Company enters into sublease agreements with individual
                   franchisees, whereby the franchisee assumes responsibility
                   for, and makes lease payments directly to, the landlord. The
                   aggregate rental obligations under these leases over the next
                   five years are as follows:

9.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        a)         The Royal Bank of Canada and its subsidiary, Royal Bank
                   Capital Corporation, are registered holders of 37.9% of the
                   common stock. The Royal Bank Capital Corporation holds a
                   subordinated debenture (see note 7) for which the related
                   interest expense was $30,176 (1998 - $27,870).

                   Undeclared dividends for July 1, 1994 to December 31, 1999 on
                   the preferred shares owned by the Royal Bank are $1,129,166.

        (b)        In the 1998 fiscal year, the Company has purchased its office
                   premises, land and building at 418 Preston Street, Ottawa,
                   from a trust of which the beneficiaries are the family of the
                   Chief Executive Officer of the Company whose family owns
                   approximately 32.6% of the common stock of the Company.

        (c)        The President of 3193853 Canada Inc. with whom the Company
                   has a term loan payable, is a member of the family of the
                   Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The related interest
                   expense was $24,183 (1998 - $16,831).

        (d)        Accounts payable includes $28,126 owed to 764719 Ontario Inc.
                   whose owner is a member of the family of the Chief Executive
                   Officer of the Company.

10.     RESTRUCTURING COST

        In conjunction with the permanent decline in the value of the investment
        in EMC Group Inc. (note 4), management has formalized a plan whereby the
        Company will not enter into the U.S. market and will focus expansion
        strictly in Canada. Accordingly, as there is no longer a value
        attributable to the U.S. franchise rights, a valuation based on this
        plan resulted in a write-down of the franchise rights in the 1999
        fiscal year.

10.     RESTRUCTURING COST(CONT'D)

        In addition, management has permanently closed unprofitable stores it
        reacquired from franchisees in Canada. Accordingly, capital assets were
        written down to their estimated fair market value.

        The write-downs have been recorded as non-cash restructuring costs,
        allocated as follows:

                                                                                                $                  $

</TABLE>

         The calculation of fully diluted earnings per common 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.
         If all conversions 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-dilutive.

12.      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 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.

13.      UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         The year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two
         digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may
         recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors
         when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition,
         similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates 1999
         to represent something other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000
         Issue may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000, and, if
         not addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting may

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL
         System-wide retail sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999
         were $11,140,000 compared to $11,727,000 a decrease of $587,000 or 5.1%
         for the same six month period last year. The sales decline can be
         attributed to the Company's decision to close down 13 locations during
         the past twelve months. The units closed down were primarily
         non-performing locations or locations were the Company could not
         establish satisfactory lease terms with the landlord, during the past
         fiscal year. On average same store sales showed an increase in sales
         performance in excess of 2%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONT'D)

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998.(CONT'D)

                  *        Interest expense increased by $16,000 or 26.0% to
                           $77,000 from $61,000 last year. As a result of the
                           increase in the Long Term Debt.

                  *        Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1999

                           the same period last year.

WORKING CAPITAL

The working capital deficit at the end of the period was $2,324,000 compared to
a working capital deficit of $2,084,000 for the same period last year. This is
primarily due to the increase of current portion of the long term debt.

$10,000 for the same quarter of the last fiscal year. This is the result of a
