        DISCOVERY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONDENSED
        --------------------------------------------------------------
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       ---------------------------------
1.   BACKGROUND
     ----------
     Discovery Technologies Inc. ("Discovery" or the "Company") was
incorporated in February, 1987 under the laws of the State of Kansas.
     
     Effective October 1, 1993, Discovery merged with Innovative Financial
Strategies, Inc. (IFS).  IFS was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware and was engaged in the business of providing revenue enhancement
consulting services to hospitals and other health care clientele.
     
     Effective March 29, 1996 Discovery, acquired acquired one hundred percent
(100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Rocky Mountain Taco, Inc., a
Colorado corporation and one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of The Colorado Taco Corporation, a Colorado Corporation
(collectively called ZuZu (registered) Colorado), Colorado developers of ZuZu
(registered) Handmade Mexican Food restaurants (the "Reorganization").  For
accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition
whereby Discovery was considered to have been acquired by ZuZu (registered)
Colorado.

     As part of the Reorganization, IFS was sold to Mr. Don McCrea-Hendrick for
126,221 shares of the Company's Common Stock and forgiveness of $175,000 in
past due salary along with a mutual release with the Company whereby the
parties agreed to terminate all obligations under Mr. McCrea-Hendrick's
employment agreement.  In addition IFS and Mr. McCrea-Hendrick agreed to
indemnify the Company against any and all liabilities which existed on or
before January 1, 1996.
     
     Following consummation of the Reorganization, Discovery remained as the
surviving entity, and as a result, the Company will retain Discovery's capital
structure.

2.   INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     ----------------------------
     The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Discovery Technologies, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996 and the condensed consolidated statements
of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
March 31, 1995 are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) which the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation of its consolidated positions, results of operations and cash
flows of these periods.  These interim financial statements do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and therefore
should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.  Results
of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
for a full year.

3.   INCOME TAXES
     ------------
     The Company provides for deferred income taxes under an asset and
liability approach in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which generally requires that
the tax asset or liability be computed based upon the statutory income tax
rates in effect when the differences in reporting income and expenses for
financial and tax reporting purposes are reported on the tax return.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
     
     Effective March 29, 1996, Discovery sold 100% of IFS to Don McCrea-
Hendrick and concurrently with the sale of IFS, acquired one hundred percent
(100%) of the outstanding Common Stock of ZuZu (registered) Colorado.  For
accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition
whereby Discovery was considered to have been acquired by ZuZu (registered)
Colorado.  As a result, ZuZu (registered) Colorado's operations are the only
operations of the Company following the Reorganization.  Therefore, portions of
the following discussions compare the Company's liquidity, capital resources
and results of operations to those of ZuZu (registered) Colorado for the prior
year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1995

     Total assets decreased from $1,422,863 on December 31, 1995 to $1,348,430
on March 31, 1996, a decrease of 5.2%.  The decrease is attributed to a
dispersion of funds to open a new location and the payment of Accounts Payable. 
Current assets decreased from $152,291 as of December 31, 1995 to $51,175 as of
March 31, 1996 or 66.4%.  The Company's cash account fell substantially from
$131,279 on December 31, 1995 to $33,648 on March 31, 1996, a decrease of
$97,631.  Property and Equipment / Other Assets increased $26,683, or 2.1% over
the amount reported on December 31, 1995.  These increases reflect the start-up
of an addition ZuZu (registered) Handmade Mexican Food restaurant in Colorado
Springs, Colorado.

     The Company's current liabilities increased $44,121 or 9.6%.  Long term
debt decreased from $469,182 as of December 31, 1995 to $450,544 as of March
31, 1996.

     The Company continued to suffer a working capital deficit due to
development costs and losses from operations.  The Company's working capital
deficit increased from $(306,070) on December 31, 1995 to $(451,577) on March
31, 1996, an increase of $145,507 or 47.5%.

     The Company has continued to expand the ZuZu (registered) concept in
Colorado with the addition of a fifth restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 
On May 29, 1996 the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase seventeen
Arby's Roast Beef restaurants from Circle Restaurant Company of Denver,
Colorado.  The units are located in southern Colorado with the largest
concentration in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Triarc Restaurant Group, parent
company of Arby's Roast Beef, and ZuZu (registered), Inc., parent company of
ZuZu (registered) Handmade Mexican Food, signed an agreement to co-brand ZuZu
(registered) with Arby's.  The agreement is in force throughout the United
States with the exception of the state of Colorado.  The Company intends to co-
brand as many of the Arby's units in southern Colorado as is practical.  The
Company will need to raise at least $2,200,000 through a debt agreement or
through sale of equity to complete the purchase.  To date, however, the Company
has not obtained any commitments for additional capital, and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise the needed capital on terms
favorable or acceptable to the Company.  The letter of intent is non-binding
and so there is no assurance that the purchase will be consummated.

     The Company anticipates continued improvement in liquidity through modest
increases in current assets as sales and marketing efforts improve.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

     Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased over the same
period in 1995.  Specifically revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996 were $340,831, up from $240,7621 reported March 31, 1995 or 142%.  Gross
Margin decreased from $116,566 as of March 31, 1995 to $78,185 as of March 31,
1996 as a result of the inefficiencies experienced in startup of a new site. 
General and Administrative expenses increased from $101,226 as of March 31,
1995 to $153,691, an increase of 152%.  The increase in these expenses was due
to start up of an additional site and the merger between ZuZu (registered)
Colorado and the Company.  Interest income decreased from $3,494 to $638 and
Interest Expense went from $11,439 to $19,384 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 respectively.  As a result the Net Income
(Loss) decreased from $7,395 to ($94,252). Likewise, net income per share
dropped to ($.0255) per share.

     The Company intends to lower operating expenses through control of labor
and food costs with the addition of a commissary to provide most of the food
preparation necessary for the five operating sites.  The commissary will reduce
kitchen labor costs at the unit level by reducing the amount of food
preparation, enhance training and product consistency, and reduce food costs by
concentrating delivery of food to one site, reducing delivery costs, thus
allowing ZuZu (registered) to take advantage of volume purchase discounts.

     In addition, the Company has negotiated an agreement with Bethesda
Management to reduce the standard lease costs on the site located at 1899 S.
Nevada Ave., Colorado Springs, Colorado in return for percentage rent
agreements.  The reduction will lower the base costs of the site during the
start up of the site when revenues are expected to be lower.

     Management believes that the actions underway to reduce labor cost and
food cost will improve the gross profit margin of the operations and that when
adequate funding is available, a substantial advertising program can be
initiated to improve market awareness and thus revenue and profit margin.

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On March 21, 1996 Contract Media Specialists, Inc. d.b.a. Entree-Denver
initiated suit against The Colorado Taco Corporation in the County Court, El
Paso County, Colorado, for non-payment of $3,000 in fees charged for placement
of an advertisement in Entree magazine.  The Company contended that Entree was
in direct violation of the contract which describes specific requirements for
placement of the advertising material.  On October 3, 1996 the County Court of
El Paso County, State of Colorado, ruled in favor of the Company, denying
Entree any collection and causing Entree to pay court costs and reasonable
attorney's fees to the Company.

ITEM 2.        CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     None.

ITEM 3.        DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

     In December, 1995, Innovative purchased certain secured promissory notes
in return for Innovative issuing its own Note in the amount of $200,000.  The
Note called for monthly payments of $40,000 each commencing in January, 1996. 
Innovative has refused to make payments on the Note claiming numerous defenses
and counterclaims based upon misrepresentations in the transaction.  These
obligations are the sole responsibility of Innovative Financial Strategies and
Don McCrea-Hendrick as part of the acquisition of the Company by ZuZu
(registered) Colorado.
