ended August 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full fiscal year.

Note 3

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating
losses since its inception and at August 31, 1996 has an accumulated deficit of
$2,222,806 and a total stockholders' deficit of $552,144. Also at such date, the
Company has negative working capital of $1,061,079. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is planning another public offering of its equity securities, this
time on a firm commitment basis. If consummated, such offering will result in
sufficient equity and working capital to finance the Company's planned
restaurant expansion as well as its wholesale distribution division. Management
also believes that it will ultimately attain profitable operations although
there is no assurance that such goal will be achieved. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable
to continue in existence. (See Notes 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10).

Note 4

The Company's president and principal stockholder had previously extended the
maturity date of $300,000 of his unsecured loan to December 31, 1997. As of
August 31, 1996, such loan totalled $306,605, of which $6,605 is accordingly
classified as a current liability.

Note 5

On July 27, 1996, the Company's joint venture restaurant located at 1216
Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida opened for business. Total development
costs were approximately $400,000. For its initial period of operations ended
August 31, 1996, the joint venture lost $44,048. After recording its fifty
percent share of this loss, the Company's investment in the joint venture is
$216,857.


Note 6

The Company's investment in the corporate joint venture together with related
administrative and travel expenses as well as the loss incurred on the
terminated lease of the second joint venture were all funded principally from
the proceeds of a financing commitment from a third party investor. Of the
aggregate $300,000 commitment, $275,000 has been advanced.                   5.

                   ROYAL CANADIAN FOODS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 6 (Continued)

The agreement provides that repayment of the principal together with interest
thereon at the rate of 12% is required only in the event of and from the
proceeds of a public offering of the Company's common stock.

On August 30, 1996, certain restrictions regarding the allocation and use of the
funds for development purposes were eliminated. Subsequent to August 31, 1996,
additional restrictions under the agreement were also eliminated. (See Note 9).

Note 7

In July and August of 1996 the Company sold a total of 129,101 newly issued
shares of common stock - all at a price of $2.00 per share - and received
$258,202 in the aggregate.

Note 8

The Company's research and development expenditures for its wholesale
distribution division were as follows for the three months ended August 31,
1996:

      Divisional manager's consulting fees                 $  9,160
      Product development and analysis                       84,950
      Package designing                                     138,080
      Shows, marketing and other                             28,848
                                                           --------
      Total research and development expenses              $261,038
                                                           ========

Note 9

On October 11, 1996, the third party investor waived all restrictions on the use
of the amounts advanced under the financing agreement; as amended, the agreement
requires only that the Company use the funds in its operations.

Note 10


On November 19, 1996, the Company's underwriter agreed to amend its letter of
intent for the Company's second public offering of its equity securities to
change from a best-efforts type to a firm commitment type underwriting, which
generally provides that all shares will be sold if one is sold, and also to
reduce the exercise price of the underwriter's stock purchase warrants from 165%
of the public offering price to 120% thereof.

Note 11

Loss per share is based upon the loss for each period divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common stock
purchase warrants, exercisable for a four-year period from October 8, 1994, are
required to be considered when calculating loss per share data. However for the
three-month periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, the effect of the common
stock purchase warrants is anti-dilutive and is therefore ignored.

                                                                              6.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Sales for the quarter ended August 31, 1996 increased by $301,143 to $617,637
from $316,494 for the quarter ended August 31, 1995, a 95.1% increase. Each of
the Company's restaurants was open throughout both quarters. All three
restaurants had sales gains. The Broadway Restaurant had the biggest sales
increase gaining 131.4% over the corresponding quarter last year to become the
Company's sales leader this quarter. The Third Avenue Restaurant, the Company's
newest location and still its smallest in terms of sales, had a 98.0% increase
from the prior year. The Second Avenue Restaurant, the Company's longest
established location, gained 65.4% of sales compared to 1995. All of the sales
gains are attributable to the following factors: Added restaurant staff and
supervisory personnel; improved operations and service; and increased customer
recognition, acceptance and loyalty. The more than doubling of sales at the
Broadway Restaurant was also helped by significant improvements and renovations
to the physical premises.

Cost of sales increased by $88,833 or 78.3%, to $202,347 in 1996 from $113,514
in 1995. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales declined by 3.1% to 32.8% in
1996 from 35.9% in 1995, reflecting more efficient food utilization due to the
volume increases at all three restaurants.

Restaurant labor expenses increased by $80,837, or 152.9%, to $133,697 in 1996
from $52,860 in 1995, reflecting management's decision to add staff to spur
sales as well as the actual sales gains. As a percentage of sales, labor
increased by 4.9% to 21.6% in 1996 from 16.7% in 1995, due principally to the
added personnel.


Rent expense increased by $2,852, or 4.3%, to $69,185 in 1996 from $66,333 in
1995, reflecting some minor increases in pass-thru items from landlords. As a
percentage of sales, rent decreased by 9.8% to 11.2% in 1996 from 21.0% in 1995,
a result of the large sales increases.

Other occupancy and operating expenses decreased by $17,607, or 10.1%, to
$156,777 in 1996 from $174,384 in 1995. As a percentage of sales, these expenses
were more than halved to 25.4% in 1996 from 55.1% in 1995, in large part due to
the sales increases but also resulting from certain decreases in absolute terms
in the following items: Utilities due to a mild summer compared to the unusually
hot one the prior year; repairs and maintenance, reflecting a cyclical reversal
of the prior year's increase; and cleaning expenses, again more due to cyclical
variations than specific causative factors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $46,655 or 37.3% to
$171,654 in 1996 from $124,999 in 1995. As a percentage of sales, they decreased
by 11.7% to 27.8% in 1996 from 39.5% in 1995. Specifically selling expenses
decreased by 3.3% of sales, due to (i) the Company's intentionally not incurring
any conventional advertising expenses during the quarter (a 1.5% savings), and
(ii) the increase in the Company's sales was achieved with no increase in
absolute terms in credit card utilization including the Company's prepaid
promotional discount program with certain credit card companies. As a result,
these items resulted in a 1.8% savings as a percentage of sales. Other savings
that were realized as a percentage of sales were in office expenses (0.9%) and
payroll and other taxes (0.5%).

                                                                              7.


<PAGE>


Several other general and administrative expenses increased in absolute terms
but decreased as a percentage of sales; those which increased as a percentage of
sales were professional fees (2.9% of sales), due to the expanded scope of the
Company's operations including its joint-venture activities and its new
wholesale distribution division and travel (0.9% of sales), principally related
to the joint-venture. Other variations in expense items in this category were
individually not material.

Research and development expenditures for the new wholesale distribution
division were $261,038.  (See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).

The Company's share of losses incurred by its Florida joint-venture for its
first five weeks of business was $22,024. (See Note 5 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest expense increased by $12,866 to $22,076 in 1996 from $9,234 in 1995, a
140% increase. Interest expense recognized on the contingent liability (now at
$275,000) was $8,250 for the quarter, an increase of $7,250 from the prior year.
Additional paid-in capital is credited for the equivalent amount. Certain
restrictions on the use of the funds advanced under the related financing
agreement have been eliminated. (See Liquidity and Notes 6 and 9 to the

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Interest of $2,500 was also
accrued on the new (non-contingent) third party loan. Interest on the officer
loan increased by $1,049 to $6,166 in 1996. At August 31, 1996, $306,605 of such
loan is outstanding, of which $6,605 is a current liability; the due date of the
balance has been extended through December 31, 1997. Interest charged on
late-paid payroll and sales taxes accounts for the balance of the increase.

Due to operating losses sustained, no income taxes were incurred in either the
1996 or 1995 quarters.

Liquidity

The Company's working capital deficit increased by $60,400 from $1,000,679 at
May 31, 1996 to $1,061,079 at August 31, 1996. The Company's unrestricted cash
balance increased by $34,044 to $57,855 at August 31, 1996.

Operating activities required $211,358. Significant non-cash items included
deferred income applied of $16,167 and depreciation, deferred rent and certain
interest items of $5,303, $19,210 and $16,916, respectively. A further non-cash
item was the $22,024 share of the Florida joint-venture's initial loss. Changes
in applicable assets and liabilities related to operations provided $162,517.

Investing activities required $58,185 for capital expenditures. Additional
investments in the Florida joint-venture required $58,118. Expenditures of cash
of $62,503 restricted by the related financing agreement to property and
equipment additions were recorded as investing inflows. As a result, investing
activities required a net outflow of $53,800.

Financing activities provided $299,202. Sales of stock at $2.00 per share
pursuant to Regulations "S" provided $258,202. The new (non-contingent) third
party loan provided $100,000. A stockholder loan repayment required $59,000.

                                                                              8.


<PAGE>


At August 31, 1996, the Company's liquidity and financial condition reflected
deficiencies in net working capital and stockholders' equity of $1,061,079 and
$552,144, respectively. The Company is planning a second public offering for
gross proceeds of $6,000,000 on a firm commitment basis. There is no assurance
that such offering will be consummated.

The Company has been proceeding with the development of a new wholesale
distribution division. The Company will need additional funds to complete such
development and commence its wholesale operations; either from the proceeds of
the planned public offering or from interim or alternate debt or equity
financing or a combination thereof.

The Company will also seek to develop up to three new restaurants in Florida,
most likely through wholly owned subsidiaries rather than joint-ventures. The
funds for these new restaurants are expected to come from the public offering.


In addition to consummating its entry into wholesale distribution as well as
developing new restaurants, the Company must find a way to make both its
existing and planned new operations and/or locations profitable. While sales
gains at the New York restaurants are encouraging, profitable operations are
critical to the Company's long-term viability; to reach the long-term goal, the
near-term critical need is to consummate the necessary financing to implement
the Company's expansion plans. The continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent thereon.
