     for each  share of the  Company's  stock.  The Board of  Directors  named a
     Special  Committee of  directors,  comprised  of Bernard  Goldman and David
     Coffer,  to  consider  the offer.  The  Special  Committee  hired legal and
     financial  advisors and is  considering  the offer.  On April 17, 1998, the
     Special  Committee  announced  that an  agreement  had been  reached on the
     financial  terms  of the  merger  and that the  public  shareholders  would
     receive  $3.60 per share if the  transaction  is  completed.  The  proposed
     merger is subject to,  among other  things (i)  execution  of a  definitive
     merger  agreement   containing   customary   representations,   warranties,
     covenants  and  conditions  (including  a  financial  condition),  and (ii)
     compliance with all applicable  regulatory and  governmental  requirements.
     Accordingly,  there can be no assurance  that the  proposed  merger will be
     consummated.


     On July 24, 1998, a Proxy  Statement was sent to IFS  shareholders  seeking
     approval  of  the  merger.  On  August  19,  1998,  in a  Special  Meeting,
     shareholders voted "FOR" the merger.

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

Overview -

Income before  extraordinary  items taxes and minority interest for the thirteen
week period  ended June 28, 1998 was higher than the same period of the previous
year due to more stores open, an increase in average weekly sales,  and improved
commissary  efficiencies  ($422,854 in 1998 versus $312,604 in 1997). During the
thirteen week period ended June 28, 1998,  the Company  opened 8 delivery  units
which brings the total to 167 units operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Domino units opened include 161 delivery units,  (12 that are Company owned) and
6 units that are "call and collect".

In a move to strengthen IFS's investment value and future growth  potential,  in
June 1997, the Company sold a 15% interest in its Domino's subsidiary for $3.125
million.  After  expenses and taxes,  the Company  realized a net profit of $2.0
million from the sale.  The Company is using the proceeds  from the sale to help
finance a new commissary and  administrative  center to support continuing rapid
growth of Domino's in the UK. In connection  with the sale, the purchaser has an
option  to  acquire  an  additional  5%  interest  in  the  company's   Domino's
subsidiary.

In December  1997,  the Company  sold the last two Haagen Dazs units.  The first
quarter 1997 trading loss is shown as discontinued  operations in the 1997 first
quarter financial statements.

The Company opened a sit down restaurant,  Pizzazz, in December 1995, to further
increase awareness of the Domino's brand. The restaurant was closed in June 1996
after the Company  determined  that the success of the concept would require too
much management  attention to be redirected from the Company's primary business.
Accordingly,  the  Company  reported  the  losses  from  Pizzazz  as a loss from
discontinued  operations in the 1997 first  quarter  financial  statements.  The
Company subleased the property commencing April 1997.

Comparison of the Thirteen Week Periods April 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 and April
1, 1997 to June 30, 1997.

Revenue

Total revenue for the thirteen week period ended June 28, 1998 was $8.7 million,
an increase of 22.6% against the same period of 1997. The main  constituents  of
this increase arose from royalty income which  increased by  approximately  $0.4
million, and commissary sales which increased by $1.3 million.

For the period ended June 28, 1998,  system wide sales  totalled  $23.6  million
versus  $17.5  million in the second  quarter of 1997.  This  represents a 25.9%
improvement  from the previous year.  This increase in system-wide  sales is the
primary reason for the increase in royalty income and commissary sales. Sales at

                                       11

<PAGE>

Company  owned stores  decreased by  approximately  $55,000 for the period ended
June 28, 1998 as compared to the period  ended June 29,  1997.  The decrease was
attributed  to more  open  corporate  units  (12  versus  11) and  better  sales
performance at its flagship store in Milton Keynes.

Cost and Expenses

The Company  experienced  an increase in cost of sales against the same thirteen
week period in 1997 from approximately $5.1 million to $6.2, an increase of 22%.
The cost of sales as a  percentage  of  commissary  sales was higher to the same
period  of the  previous  year  (93.6%  vs 87.4%)  primarily  because  of higher
distribution costs and lower margin on cheese. The cost of sales as a percentage
of Company owned store sales  increased from 60.7% in the same period in 1997 to
64.5% in 1998.  This is the  result of new stores  and  under-performing  stores
acquired in the first quarter of 1998.

Income

Operating income of $365,158 was achieved in the period against operating income
of $263,703 in the  comparable  period in 1997.  This increase in  profitability
resulted  from an increase in operating and  administrative  expense that offset
the improved gross margin results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 28, 1998, the Company's working capital of $2.8 million compared to $4.4
million at June 29, 1997,  and $4.0 million at December 29, 1997.  The Company's
trade  receivable  has  increased  by  $205,000  from the end of the year as the
Company sales increased. The Company's receivable from related parties increased
by $660,000 and  inventories and other  receivables  have decreased by $128,000.
Total current  liabilities have increased by $1.6 million from the year end. The
principle  increase in current  liabilities  is related  almost  entirely to the
accrual  for  expenses  and  costs  related  to  the  construction  of  the  new
commissary.

The Company  anticipates  it will spend  $500,000 to open  additional  corporate
stores in 1998.  The Company is not  obligated  to open any  additional  Company
owned stores through the end of 1998 under the Master Franchise Agreement.

To support the Company's  continuing  growth,  the Company is constructing a new
administrative office and new commissary.  The Company estimates the cost of the
new facility to be approximately 3.4 million pound sterling ($5.5 million).  The
Company has secured  financing from National  Westminster Bank for approximately
70% of the total cost. The building  construction  cost will be financed over 15
years at a fixed rate  interest rate of 8.75%.  The  equipment  will be financed
over  a 5  year  lease.  The  Company  believes  its  existing  commissary  will
adequately  service the dough  production  needs of existing and  projected  new
franchisees for the next twelve months.  The Company believes it can finance its
obligations  from  existing  cash  balances and  projected  cash flows.  The new
facility is forecasted to open in September 1998.

The Company does not anticipate that the loan to Crescent Capital will be repaid
before September 1998.

If the  Company's  plans  change or its  assumptions  or  estimates  prove to be
inaccurate, the Company may require additional funds to achieve increased sales.
If such funds are unavailable, the Company will have to reduce its operations to
a level consistent with its available funding.

Exchange Rate

The  weighted  exchange  rate for the three  month  period  ended June 30,  1998
($1.6354  per  British  pound  sterling)  was  approximately  1% lower  than the
exchange  rate during the  comparable  period in 1997 ($1.645 per British  pound
sterling).

Inflation

The primary  inflationary factor affecting the Company's  operations is the cost
of food. As the cost of food has increased,  the Company has  historically  been
able to offset these increases through economies of scale and improved operating
procedures,  although there is no assurance that such offsets will continue.  To
date, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations.
