ROYAL CANADIAN FOODS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1
In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at
February 28, 1998, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
applicable three and nine-month periods ended February 28, 1998 and 1997. In
accordance with SEC Regulations for interim financial statements, these
financial statements and following notes do not include all the disclosures
required for annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Note 2
The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month
periods ended February 28, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full fiscal year.
Note 3
At May 31, 1997, the Company recharacterized its investment in the Prairie Foods
joint-venture from that of a fifty percent, equity-method investment to a
majority-owned subsidiary, which treatment was consistent with the economic
reality of such investment at that time, appropriate in the circumstances and is
expected to continue as long as the Company maintains its present level of
ownership. As reported herein, the statements of operations for the three and
nine-month periods ended February 28, 1997 have been reclassified to reflect the
consolidation of the joint-venture's operations with a fifty percent minority
interest. Such reclassification has been done to enhance the comparability with
the current periods but did not change the reported net loss. The statement of
cash flows for 1997 has been restated to include the joint-venture's cash
transactions.
Note 4
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating
losses since inception and at February 28, 1998 has an accumulated deficit of
$3,677,860, a total stockholders' deficit of $1,328,070 and negative working
capital of $2,458,345. As of August 31, 1997, the Company had to suspend
development of its wholesale distribution business. Also, the Company's three
New York landlords have all brought summary non-payment proceedings against the
Company's subsidiaries and one warrant of eviction was executed. Further,
payroll tax and sales tax liens have been filed with respect to each operating
subsidiary and subsequent to February 28, 1998, one New York restaurant was
temporarily closed due to the Company's failure to stay current on a payment
arrangement. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management has signed a firm-commitment
letter of intent for a second public offering; if consummated it is expected to
result in sufficient equity and working capital to finance restaurant expansion
as well as the wholesale distribution line. Management also believes it will
ultimately attain profitable operations. There can be no assurance that any of
the above goals will be achieved. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue in existence.
Note 5
The Company's president/principal stockholder had previously extended the
maturity date of $250,000 of his loan to June 30, 1998. Accordingly at February
28, 1998, all of such loan is classified as a current liability.

Note 6
During the nine months ended February 28, 1998, the Company received net new
loans of $478,000, including $245,000 from the affiliate of its investment
banker, $208,000 from a new unaffiliated lender and $25,000, net, from its
president/principal stockholder's mother. All such loans bear interest at 12%
and are due December 31, 1998, with mandatory prepayment required upon the
consummation of a second public offering. (See Liquidity).
Note 7
During the quarter ended August 31, 1997, the Company expended a total of
$226,215 on its research and development activities. Of such amount, $107,850
represented marketing and promotional expenses. The balance, $118,365, had
previously been committed for frozen food corrugated boxing supplies. No such
expenditures were made in either the November 1997 or February 1998 quarter. As
of February 28, 1998, the Company's investment in non-operating assets, due to
the suspension of wholesale distribution development activities, was $238,915:
$168,365 for frozen food boxing supplies and $70,550 for machinery and
equipment.
Note 8
On June 9, 1997, two overseas holders of $199,760 of the Company's notes agreed
to exchange such debt for common stock of the Company at the rate of $2.00 per
share or 99,880 shares in total, pursuant to Regulation "S" of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, promulgated under the Securities Act.
Note 9
On August 8, August 19, and September 8, 1997, the Company sold an aggregate of
99,960 of its common shares to one overseas investor, all at the price of $2.00
per share, pursuant to Regulation "S". Net proceeds were $199,920.
Note 10
On January 16, 1998, the Company's fifth restaurant, a Royal Canadian Womlette
House, opened at 1505 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach. Development costs for
this location approximated $500,000.
Note 11
On December 30, 1997, the Company signed a lease for restaurant premises in
Coconut Grove, Florida, its sixth location overall. At February 28, 1998,
development costs incurred for this site total $139,000. Additional costs
required to completion are estimated at approximately $150,000 and management
anticipates that this restaurant will open in early October 1998. (See
Liquidity).
Note 12
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 ending October 7, 1998,
were anti-dilutive for the periods reported herein and are therefore ignored.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Sales for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 increased by $32,505 to $922,534
from $890,029 for the quarter ended February 28, 1997, a 3.7% increase. Such
overall results for the quarter combine sales gains at each of the Company's
three New York restaurants with a 21.1% decrease in sales at the Company's first
Florida Restaurant, which opened July 28, 1996. Also included in sales for the
quarter are $3,349 for the Company's second Florida restaurant, a Royal Canadian
Womlette House, which opened on January 16, 1998. The poor results at both
Florida restaurants reflect in large part the effects of the Company's very
limited advertising budget, due to the Company's extremely tight cash position
and working capital deficit. (The Company's current ratio is approximately .04.
See Liquidity). The Company hopes to channel more resources into promotions and
advertising for the Florida restaurants. More than offsetting the poor Florida
sales were the three New York Restaurants where sales in the current quarter
increased by 6.2%, continuing the improvement over last year. Leading the gains
for the quarter was the Second Avenue Restaurant, the Company's sales leader,
with a 7.9% gain over last year. The Third Avenue Restaurant, the smallest of
the New York locations in sales, had a 6.1% sales increase, while the Broadway
Restaurant had a sales gain of 4.5%. Management attributes the continuing sales
gains in New York to improved operations as well as the effect of the Company's
competitively-priced and generously-sized menu items. For the nine months, total
sales rose by $260,069, or 10.7%, to $2,696,814 in 1998 from $2,436,745 in 1997.
Sales in New York rose by 16.3%, while Florida sales, excluding the Womlette
House, decreased by 32.2%.
Cost of sales increased by $7,414, or 2.5%, to $302,542 in the 1998 quarter from
$295,128 in 1997. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales fell by 0.4% to 32.8%
in the 1998 quarter from 33.2% in 1997. All of such improvement for the quarter
was due to the Florida Prairie Restaurant where cost of sales fell by 4.2% to
35.6% from 39.8% last year. The improvement in the Florida restaurant continues
to reflect more seasoned results in the current period although still several
percentage points higher than for the New York locations which benefit from well
established operations and considerably higher volumes. Cost of sales in New
York rose slightly for the quarter by 0.8% to 32.5%, reflecting in part certain
inefficiencies incurred as a result of the temporary closure of one location.
Cost of sales at the Womlette House were 44.8% for the initial six-week period,
but due to the very limited sales at that location, the cost of sales percentage
is not particularly significant. For the nine months, total cost of sales rose
by $53,209, or 6.5%, to $867,749 in 1998 from $814,540 in 1997. As a percentage
of sales the improvement was by 1.2% to 32.2% from 33.4%, with Florida (again
excluding the Womlette House) improving by 5.0% to 35.2% from 40.2% and New York
by 0.6% to 31.9% from 32.5%.
Restaurant labor expenses decreased by $5,578, or 2.8%, to $195,659 for the 1998
quarter from $201,237 in 1997. As a percentage of sales, labor fell by 1.4% to
21.2% in the 1998 quarter from 22.6% in 1997. Labor at the New York Restaurants
fell by 5.2% to 13.6% in the 1998 quarter from 18.8% in 1997, due to the sales
gains as well as improvements in labor utilization . The labor percentage in
Florida increased by 43.6% from 60.2% to 103.8%. Such increase was due to a
combination of several factors: (i) the extremely low level of Florida sales
during the quarter, particularly at the Womlette House where labor was
approximately 240 % of sales and (ii) the use of the Prairie Restaurant during
the first seven weeks of the quarter as a training facility for new personnel
intended to staff the Womlette House. The new restaurant had been expected to
open for business during the previous quarter; delays in its completion
necessitated retaining an extra complement of workers at the Prairie Restaurant,
or risk not having the newly trained workers when the new restaurant was ready.
Management expects that the labor percentage in Florida will fall in future
quarters. For the nine months, labor costs increased by $15,083, or 2.9%, to
$542,793 in 1998 from $527,710 in 1997. As a percentage of sales, labor fell by
1.6% to 20.1% for the 1998 nine months from 21.7% in 1997. For the New York
Restaurants, labor fell by 4.6% to 14.9% from 19.5%. In Florida, the percentage
increased by 48.1% to 85.7% from 37.6%. Control of Florida labor costs will be a
management priority in future
periods.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Rent expense increased by $16,797, or 15.8%, to $123,146 for the 1998 quarter
from $106,349 in 1997; all of such increase is attributable to the new Womlette
House Restaurant. As a percentage of sales, rent increased by 1.4% to 13.3% in
the 1998 quarter from 11.9% in 1997, reflecting the effect of the increased
sales in New York. For the New York Restaurants, the percentage fell by 0.5% to
8.4% from 8.9% for the quarter; in Florida, due to the sales decline at the
Prairie restaurant and the very low level of sales at the Womlette House, the
percentage increased by 29.9% to 67.5% from 37.6%. For the nine months, rent
expense increased by $29,974, or 11.3%, to $294,149 in 1998 from $264,175 in
1997, due to the additional Florida operations. As a percentage of sales, rent
overall rose by just 0.1% to 10.9% in 1998 from 10.8 in 1997. In New York the
percentage fell by 1.5% to 8.3% from 9.8%; in Florida it rose by 31.3% to 43.6%
from 12.3%.
Other occupancy and operating expenses increased by $71,820, or 35.2%, to
$275,987 in the 1998 quarter from $204,167 in 1997. As a percentage of sales,
these expenses increased by 7.0% to 29.9% in the 1998 quarter from 22.9% in
1997. In New York this percentage rose by 7.4% to 27.7% from 20.3%, reflecting
unit cost increases in operating supplies, repairs, maintenance, rubbish removal
and depreciation; in Florida they rose by 9.3% to 54.1% from 44.8%, reflecting
the decrease in sales for the quarter. For the nine months, these expenses
increased by $195,123, or 34.5%, to $760,866 in 1998 from $565,743 in 1997. As a
percentage of sales, they rose by 5.0% to 28.2% in 1997 from 23.2% in 1997. In
New York they rose by 4.6% to 25.8% from 21.2%. In Florida again due to the
sales decline, they increased by 19.6% to 57.9% from 38.3%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $111,153, or 59.3%, to
$298,691 in the 1998 quarter from $187,538 in 1997. As a percentage of sales,
they increased by 11.3% to 32.4% in the 1998 quarter from 21.1% in 1997. In
Florida selling expenses as a percentage of sales for the quarter rose by 13.9%
to 32.2% from 18.3%, due principally to increases in food giveaway promotions
attributable to the Womlette House, while general and administrative expenses
increased by 7.5% to 35.6% from 28.1%, due principally to the sales decrease.
Selling expenses in New York rose by just 0.2% to 1.9% from 1.7%. Officers'
salaries, constant in dollar terms, declined by 0.5% to 8.0% for the quarter
(and by 1.3% to 8.1% for the nine months). Other New York general and
administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales for the quarter by
9.5% to 19.2% from 9.7%, due in large part to significantly higher professional
fees, related to the Company's 1997 annual audit and related SEC reporting,
substantially all of the audit and legal services for which were provided during
the February 1998 quarter. Travel and miscellaneous expenses accounted for the
rest of the increase in general and administrative expenses during the quarter.
For the nine months, these expenses increased by $50,139, or 8.0%, to $673,632
in 1998 from $623,493 in 1997. As a percentage of sales, they fell by 0.6% to
25.0% in 1998 from 25.6% in 1996. In New York, excluding officers' salaries,
they fell by 0.4% to 13.7% from 14.1%; in Florida they rose by 2.8% to 20.2%
from 17.4%.
There were no research and development expenditures during the 1998 quarter
compared to $160,328 in 1997. For the nine months these expenditures decreased
by $506,328, or 82.4% to $107,850 in 1998 from $614,178 in 1997. As of August
31, 1997, the Company was forced to suspend development of its wholesale
distribution business, due to the lack of sufficient financing to produce
expected reorder quantities. (See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements).
Interest expense rose by $41,273 to $75,974, and by $63,694 to $145,590, for the
quarter and nine months, respectively, increases of 119% and 77.8%, due in large
part to increased borrowings on various non-contingent loans. Interest on
delinquent rents and past due payroll, sales and rent taxes, accounted for the
rest of the increase.
Due to operating losses sustained, no income taxes were incurred in any of the
periods presented herein.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
When the Company originally reported its results of operations for the three and
nine months ended February 28, 1997, the Florida Prairie Restaurant was
accounted for as a fifty-percent owned joint venture and was reported on the
equity method. At May 31, 1997, based on the amounts of its and its
joint-venture partner's investments in the restaurant, the Company
recharacterized its investment to that of a majority owned subsidiary. The
accompanying results of operations for the three and nine months ended February
28, 1997 have been reclassified to consolidate the joint-venture's accounts with
a fifty-percent minority interest, rather than the fifty-percent equity-method
investment previously reported. Net income was not affected by such

The Company's working capital deficit increased by $693,510 from $1,764,835 at
May 31, 1997 to $2,458,345 at February 28, 1998, due principally to working
capital required for operations. The Company's cash balance increased by $4,000
to $22,285 at February 28, 1998.
Operating activities required $49,624. Significant non-cash items included
deferred income, depreciation and amortization, deferred rent and certain
interest items of $56,199, $122,590, $12,243 and $88,583, respectively. Changes
in applicable assets and liabilities related to operations provided $366,576.
Investing activities required $624,296 in total of which $495,837 was for
capital expenditures, $118,365 for non-operating assets and $14,920 for other
uses, less security deposits refunded of $4,826.
Financing activities provided $677,920; $199,920 was from the sale of common
stock at $2.00 per share to one overseas investor pursuant to Regulation "S" of
the Securities Act of 1933. The balance of $478,000 consisted of new loans
totaling $245,000 from an affiliate of the Company's underwriter, $208,000 from
an unaffiliated lender and $25,000, net of $50,000 of repayments, from the
mother of the Company's president/principal stockholder.
Subsequent to February 28, 1998 and through August 21, 1998, unsecured loans
aggregating $547,000 were received from various lenders. All such loans bear
interest at twelve per cent per annum and mature December 31, 1998, with
mandatory prepayment upon the completion of the Company's proposed offering. A
portion of these loans were used to finance the completion of the Coconut Grove
restaurant, the Company's sixth. (See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements).
The Company's continuing operating losses, its severe cash shortage and working
capital deficiencies and its tax delinquencies threaten the continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company's investment banker has recently
affirmed a letter of intent for a firm-commitment public offering of 1,200,000
shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share, although there can be no
assurance of the successful completion thereof. Moreover, the Company must be
current on its SEC reporting requirements in order to have a second public
offering. The Company has been up to six and one-half months late on its recent
SEC filings.
Until such time as the Company completes the proposed offering, the Company
nevertheless requires adequate financing in order to continue as a going
concern. The Company has thus far been able to obtain periodic debt and/or
equity financing from various sources, including certain affiliates of its
investment banker. The Company envisions that future debt or equity proceeds,
the receipt of which is not assured, will be applied to reduce its various tax
and other past due obligations, provide working capital, and if possible, fund
its entry into the wholesale distribution business. Management believes that
such course of action will promote the long-term viability of the Company.
Should the Company not be successful in such endeavors, its continuation as a
going concern would be gravely
jeopardized.
