                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              AS AT MARCH 31, 2000

                               (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.

    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.

                               (CANADIAN DOLLARS)

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    CAPITAL ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION

    Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.
    Amortization is provided for at rates intended to write off the assets over
    their estimated economic lives, as follows:

<TABLE>
    <S>                                                           <C>
    Building....................................................  20 years straight-line

    Furniture, fixtures and equipment...........................   5 years straight-line

    Corporate owned stores reacquired from franchisees..........   5 years straight-line

    Corporate owned store equipment reacquired from former
      franchisees...............................................   5 years straight-line
</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.

3.  NOTES RECEIVABLE

    Notes receivable are due from franchisees with varying interest rates
    repayable in scheduled instalments which mature from July 1999 to
    June 2020.

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.

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.

    (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) 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.

    (b) 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 $35,424 (1999 -- $50,657).

       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.

    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.

products and 26.5% from construction revenue. The Company has continued to show
positive trends resulting in Net Income for the Quarter ended March 31, 2000 of
$421,000 compared to $50,700 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1999.
Similarly the year-to-date Net Income for the three quarters in the current
fiscal year shows Net Income of $750,100 compared to $134,000 for the
corresponding 3 quarters in fiscal 1999. No provision has been made for taxes as
a result of a tax loss carry-forward. The Company's management believes that
this trend will continue. It is anticipated that 4 new locations will open in
the last quarter of fiscal 2000.

    The Company's fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to June 30. The 1999
fiscal year end had 52 weeks. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2000 will include
53 weeks of operation.

    On February 29, 2000, the Company was notified by 3722121 Canada Inc.,
("3722121") a company incorporated under the laws of Canada that it had acquired
the holdings of the Royal Bank of Canada and its wholly-owned subsidiary The
Royal Bank Capital Corporation (collectively "RBCC") in TIEI. RBCC was until
that time the single largest shareholder of TIEI as well as it
largest creditor.

    Shareholders of 3722121 include Mr. Paul J. Gibson, President and Chief
Executive Officer of TIEI, John A. Deknatel, Chief Operating Officer of TIEI,
and a number of other common shareholders in TIEI. Neither Mr. Gibson, nor
Mr. Deknatel are officers or directors of 3722121.

    Specifically 3722121 acquired from RBCC a subordinated debenture in the
amount of $1,129,562 plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $370,000
as well as 5,409,825 non-voting, convertible, series A preference shares with
accrued undeclared dividend of $1,163,000 and 7,207,760 common shares.

    3722121 has notified TIEI that it has restructured the terms and conditions
of the debt instrument it acquired by forgiving the accrued and unpaid interest
and adjusting the interest rate from 8% to 4% per annum. 3722121 charged a
one-time 6.25% administration fee. This gain in interest expense was accounted
for by a credit of $281,000 to Interest expense.

                               (CANADIAN DOLLARS)

    This transaction resolved a number of issues which were before the courts
and TIEI and RBCC executed mutual releases pertaining to those actions.

    The Company's management sees these recent developments as very positive for
the long-term future of TIEI and is currently reviewing what other steps it
might take to amend its capital structure with a view to position itself for
growth opportunities in Canada.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000, COMPARED TO THE
  QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999.

    REVENUE.  Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased
$347,000 or 35.1% to $1,335,200 from $988,200 for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999. This was primarily due to Construction revenue of $353,000 compared
to $ nil for the corresponding period. Other factors which impacted
revenue were:

    - A 47.1% gain in the Sales of managed franchised stores to $99,800 from
      $67,800 for the corresponding period as a result of the number of stores
      currently managed by the Company.

    - A $20,200 (19.1%) increase in the revenue from the sale of
      Proprietary products.

    - An increase in Franchising revenue of $19,700 to $38,000 from $18,300 for
      the same period in the corresponding period in fiscal 1999.

    - A decrease in Supplier Incentives, commissions and other of $82,700 or
      (27.1%) to $223,000 from $305,700 for the same period in fiscal 1999 as a
      result of   -  .

    EXPENSES.  Expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased $23,300
or (2.5%) to $914,200 from $937,500 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1999.
The primary reason was a one-time reversal of interest expense in the amount of
$400,300 to ($342,600) from $57,700 primarily as a result 3722121's adjustment
of the interest owing on the subordinated debenture it acquired from RBCC as
described in more detail above. Excluding this one-time reversal of interest
expense, expenses increased $377,000 or 42.8% to $1,256800 from $880,000 for the
corresponding period in fiscal 1999. The primary reasons for this increase was
an increase in Construction expenses of $353,000 to $353,000 from $ nil for the
corresponding period in fiscal 1999 as well as an increase in Head office and
administration expenses of $95,000 or 21.2% to $544,200 from $449,100 for the
corresponding period in fiscal 1999. This was primary due to a increase of
$72,000 to expenses of stores under management contract. Other factors which
impacted the Company's expenses were:

    - a $59,300 increase in operating expenses of Managed franchise stores as a
      result of the number of stores currently managed by the Company.

    - a 15.7% increase in the cost of purchasing Proprietary products to
      $104,200 from $90,100 for the same period last year.

    - A $114,600 (56.2%) decrease in Depreciation and amortization to $112,900
      from $257,500 as a result of the Company's decision to write down its
      franchise rights at the end of its last fiscal year, June 30, 1999.

WORKING CAPITAL

    The working capital at the end of the period was $448,000 compared to a
working capital deficit of $617,000 for the corresponding quarter in fiscal
1999. The primary reason for the significant change in the working capital
resulted from the recent transaction in which 3722121 acquired the holdings and
debt held by RBCC in Treats and the subsequent restructuring of the terms and
conditions of the debt instrument.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

    During the quarter the operating cash inflow was $68,000 compared to an
inflow of $40,000 for the corresponding quarter last fiscal year. This was
primarily the result of an increase in non-cash operating working capital items,
a significant portion was attributable to the transaction between 3722121 and
RBCC. No significant capital expenditures are planned for the next quarter and
the Company expects that the cash flow from operations for the next quarter will
be adequate to meet its obligations.

RAW MATERIALS PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

    The Company enters into fixed price purchasing contracts which, with the
exception of coffee, are usually for a period of one year. The Company purchases
coffee contracts on a periodic basis. The supply and cost of coffee are,
however, subject to significant and unpredictable volatility as a result of
climatic, political and economic conditions as well as the impact of commodity
trading. To further protect against major price fluctuations in world green
coffee pricing the Company from time to time purchases future coffee contracts
so that it can average the cost price over a longer period of time.

    Bakery mixes are manufactured and supplied by the Quaker Oats Company of
Canada based on bi-annual contracts. The Company does not anticipate any supply
problems, however, it is possible that supplies are interrupted as a result of
labour unrest or acts of God.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard Number 133 -- "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued. The statement is
effective for all quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires recognition of all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the financial statements at fair
value. Currently this requirement would not impact the Company's
financial statements.
