[C]  Subsequent Event

     In May, the Company  decided to suspend Pizzazz  Restaurant  operations and
     the  development of the Pizzazz  concept.  The Company feels, at this time,
     that  management  attention  and  resources  must be  focused  on the  core
     business of delivery  stores.  In the Condensed  Consolidated  Statement of
     Operations,  the  "Operating  and  Closing  Costs  of  Pizzazz  Restaurant"

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
          Result of Operations

Overview

Income for the  quarter  was lower than the same  quarter of the  previous  year
despite  the  increase  in per store  sales of 11%.  At the end of the  quarter,
management  believes it experienced a significant  boost in sales as a result of
the scare regarding  English beef. The Company promotes their use of only Danish
beef  and the  "healthy"  aspects  of pizza  as part of  their  advertising  and
marketing strategies.

The Company's core business of franchise fees,  commissary sales and the Company
owned  stores lost  approximately  $10,000  for the quarter  versus an income of
$112,522 in the same quarter of the previous year. The  deterioration  of income
was the result of lower  margins on products  sold from the  commissary,  higher
company  overhead costs,  and higher costs on the Company owned delivery stores.
The Company opened one new franchise store in the quarter.

The  Company's  Haagen Dazs stores lost  approximately  $88,000 for the quarter.
This  business is  seasonal  and  management  believes  that cold  weather had a
significant adverse impact on the unit's activities.

The Company opened a sit down casual dining pizza restaurant ("Pizzazz") in late
December  to  compliment  the  delivery  stores  and  further   establish  brand
recognition for Domino's pizza.  Although the "Pizzazz" concept was developed by
Domino's in the United  States,  the Company  did not  receive  assistance  from
Domino's  in the start up of this  concept  in the  United  Kingdom.  During the
quarter  ended March 31,  1996,  the Company  recorded  losses of  approximately
$248,000 and established a reserve for closing costs of  approximately  $153,000
related to the Pizzazz concept.

The Company has taken corrective actions where possible to return the Company to
a level of profitability.

Results of Operations  
Comparison of the three month period  January 1, to March 31, 1996 and January 1
to March 31, 1995

Total revenue for the period was  $4,817,461,  an increase of  $1,043,677  (28%)
against the same period of 1995.  The main  constituents  of this increase arose
from sales at Company owned stores which  increased by $466,941,  royalty income
which  increased by $120,260 and commissary  sales which  increased by $353,577.
Increases were also evident in rental and other income streams of $107,952.

The  increase  in sales at Company  owned  stores  resulted  primarily  from the
increased  number of stores in  operation  during this period  against  1995 (10
versus  9) and the  addition  of three  Haagen  Dazs  stores  which  contributed
$269,899.  The increase in royalty income and commissary  sales resulted  almost
entirely from the increase in system wide sales.

The  Company  also  experienced  an  increase  in cost of sales in excess of the
increase in sales.  Cost of sales increase of $887,905 (36%). This is the result
of lower commissary  margins,  the inclusion of Haagen Dazs cost of sales and an
increase in the royalty percentage payable to Domino's.

An operating  loss of ($529,049)  was incurred in the period  against  operating
income  of  $91,938  in  the  comparable   period  in  1995.  This  decrease  in
profitability resulted from higher gross margins offset by higher administrative
and corporate store costs ($131,883),  the operating losses and closing costs of
the Pizzazz restaurant ($400,986), and operating loss offset by gross margins of
the Haagen Dazs stores ($88,118).

The Company has taken the following actions to improve Company profitability:

     Commissary In late February, the Company implemented a 5% price increase to
     the  franchisees  which  will  cover  most of the  rising  costs of the raw
     materials of topping/cheese etc. The Company has also initiated an internal
     study to ensure that fresh dough  provided to the  franchisees is priced to
     cover the increased production costs and earn a fair profit.

     Delivery Stores The Company has hired a person  dedicated to new franchisee
     development.  This person has industry experience and is using his industry
     contacts to develop new franchisee interests.  In addition, the Company has
     participated in two trade shows and is scheduled to participate in two more
     later in the year. The Company has also  successfully  concluded their test
     period  arrangement  with Total Oil Great  Britain  and have  finalized  an
     agreement to open Domino's  franchises in gas stations.  This should result
     in the rapid  development  of  non-traditional  stores in  addition  to the
     traditional stores. The

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Company has also entered into another  arrangement with Alldays,  a British
     convenience  store company to install "cash and carry"  Domino's  stores on
     the  premises.  The  Company  anticipates  that a  minimum  of  twelve  new
     non-traditional stores will open before the end of the year.

     Company Owned Stores The Company has installed  computer systems in company
     owned  stores  which will allow  daily  monitoring  and control of food and
     labor costs by  headquarters  personnel.  It is  anticipated  that this new
     system  will  allow the  Company to control  the costs and  achieve  better
     profitability.

     Haagen  Dazs The  Company  continues  to have  discussions  with the Master
     Franchisor  in the United  Kingdom to discuss  menu items and other ways to
     reduce the seasonal  impact of Haagen Dazs stores.  The Company expects the
     units to perform profitably for the next two quarters.

     Pizzazz  The  Company  believes  these  losses  resulted  from  the lack of
     Domino's support,  the timing of the restaurant  opening,  product pricing,
     menu items and  promotion.  The Company  believes the concept is viable and
     the  knowledge  gained  over the last  quarter is  valuable.  However,  the
     Company  feels,  at this time,  management  attention and resources must be
     focused on the "core"  business of delivery  stores.  Consequently,  in May
     1996, the Company decided to suspend  operations and the development of the
     Pizzazz restaurant concept.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1996 the Company's  working  capital of $2,001,139 has been reduced
by $1,020,127 from the end of the Company's last fiscal year. The Company used a
portion of the net proceeds from the initial public  offering of a subsidiary to
purchase  fixed  assets  and repay the  outstanding  short-term  notes  payable.
Additionally, the Company sold a non-performing company owned store to finance a
new company  owned store  opened in April 1996.  The company  believes  that its
working  capital will be  sufficient  to satisfy its  obligations  over the next
twelve months.

Exchange Rates

The weighted exchange rate for the three months ended March 31, 1996 ($1.526 per
British pound sterling) was approximately 4% lower than the exchange rate during
the  comparable  period  in 1995  ($1.597  per  British  pound  sterling).  This
difference has the effect of reducing the Company's  results by approximately 4%
when expressed in U.S. dollars.

Inflation

To date, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations.
