              NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           AS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 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.

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

        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:

        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


        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.

        (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 related to long-term debt was $67,387
(1999 - $55,682).

        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 $29,582 (1999 - $27,321).

                  Undeclared dividends for July 1, 1994 to September 30, 1999
                  on the preferred shares owned by the Royal Bank are
                  $1,077,841.


         (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.

                  has a term loan payable, is a member of the family of the
                  Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The related
                  interest expense was $23,708 (1999 - $16,738).

         (d)      Accounts payable includes $31,426 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.

        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,

</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.

         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 range from minor errors to
         significant systems failure which could affect an entity's ability
         to conduct normal business operations. It is not possible to be
         certain that all aspect of the Year 2000 Issue affecting the entity,
         including those related to the efforts of customers, suppliers, or
         other third parties, will be fully resolved.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL
         System-wide retail sales for the three months ended September 30,
         1999 were $5,218,000 compared to $5,398,000 a decrease of $180,000
         or 3.3% for the same three 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 SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998.

         Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 decreased
         $359,000 or 26.4% to $999,000 from $1,358,000 for the same period last
         year. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from:

                  -        The sales of managed franchises stores decreased
                           by $55,000 or 31.3% to $122,000 compared to
                           $177,000 for the same period last year.

                  -        Royalties decreased $31,000 or 6 .9% to $424,000
                           compared to $455,000 for the same period last year.

                  -        Supplier incentives increased $27,000 or 10.6% to
                           $277,000 compared to $254,000 for the same period
                           last year.

                  -        Franchising decreased $37,000 to $47,000 compared to
                           $84,000 for the same period last year.

                  -        Proprietary products revenues increased $12,000 or
                           13.0% to $103,000 from $91 ,000 for the same period
                           last year.


         Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 decreased $502,000
         or 37.7% to $831,000 from $1,333,000 for the same period last year.
         The decrease in expenses relate to the following:

                  -        Cost associated with managed franchised stores
                           decreased $81,000 of 38.5% to $130,000 compared to
                           $211,000 for the same period last year.

                  -        Head Office and Administration cost increased
                           $6,000 or 2.5% to $240,000 from $234,000 for the
                           same period last year.

                  -        The cost of purchasing certain proprietary
                           products for resale to distributors increased
                           $15,000 or 18.3% to $95,000 from $80,000 for the
                           same period last year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONT'D)

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1998.(CONT'D)

                  -        Interest expense increased by $12,000 or 21.0% to
                           $67,000 from $40,000 last year. As a result of the
                           increase in the Long Term Debt.

                  -        Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
                           was $168,000 compared to a net income of $25,000 for
                           the same period last year.

WORKING CAPITAL

The working capital deficit at the end of the period was $2,426,000 compared to
a working capital deficit of $2,265,000 for the same period last year. This is
primarily due to the increase of current portion of the long term debt.


LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

During the quarter the operating inflow was $94,000 compared to an outflow of
$81,000 for the same quarter of the last fiscal year. This is the result of a
decrease in non-cash operating working capital items.
