                     BRAZIL FAST FOOD CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

               SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
- -----------------------------------------

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Brazil Fast Food
Corp. (the "Company"), without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
March 31, 1997 and for all periods presented have been made. The results of
operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with general
accepted accounting principles and normally included in the financial statements
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

The accompanying financial statements have been presented in Brazilian reais, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United
States and have been indexed and expressed in currency of constant purchasing
power at March 31, 1997 by using a monthly index derived from the Indice Geral
de Precos-Mercado (IGP-M).

NOTE 2 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
- -----------------------------

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company sold an aggregate of 300,000
shares of its common stock and additionally, in April 1997 sold 100,000 shares
of its common stock in unrelated transactions to two Brazilian banks
respectively, and one European institutional investor, from which the Company
derived net proceeds of $1,210,000.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

As the nature of the Company's operations subsequent to its acquisition (the
"Acquisition") of Venbo Comercio de Alimentos LTDA. ("Venbo") on March 19, 1997
are significantly different from its operations prior to the Acquisition the
following unaudited comparative financial data of the Company for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are
included herein in an effort to facilitate a meaningful presentation of the
Company's post-Acquisition operating results.

The accompanying financial statements have been indexed and expressed in
currency of constant purchasing power at March 31, 1997 by using a monthly index
derived from the Indice Geral de Precos - Mercado (IGP-M). The Company believes
that the IGP-M index is an appropriate general price level inflation indication
to be used under US GAAP. For the first quarter of 1997, the inflation as
measured by the IGP-M was 3.4%.

Restaurant Sales
- ----------------

Net restaurant sales for Company-owned stores were R$ 22,450,000 and R$
18,413,000, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter
of 1997.

The quarter to quarter decrease is primarily attributable to seasonality, which
results in higher sales in the month of December due to increased traffic in
both shopping malls and downtown areas caused by the holiday season. In
addition, there has been an easing of consumer credit in Brazil which has
resulted in an increase in spending upon durable goods and a reduction in
spending upon certain discretionary items, including fast food.

Franchise Income
- ----------------

Franchise income was R$ 288,000 and R$ 342,000, respectively, for the fourth
quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. The quarter to quarter increase
is primarily due to a full quarter of operation of 9 new franchised stores
opened during the fourth quarter of 1996 as well as the sale of 11 new
franchisee stores (5 new franchise contracts), in the first quarter of fiscal
1997.

Cost of Restaurant Sales
- ------------------------

Cost of restaurant sales expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues was
approximately 33.7% for both the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of
1997. Increase in costs of certain items such as bread and soft drinks was
offset by reduced costs of ice cream, cups and paper goods.

Restaurant Payroll and Other Employee Benefits
- ----------------------------------------------

Restaurant payroll and other employee benefits expressed as a percentage of net
operating revenues were approximately 24.1% and 23.4%, respectively, for the
fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. The quarter to quarter
decrease is primarily the result of (i) the implementation of a new recruitment
program, reducing employee turnover and allowing more flexibility in adjusting
the store headcount to demand fluctuations, (ii) an overall revision of
headcount resulting in a reduction in the number of assistant store managers,
and (iii) reductions in employee transportation costs through an optimization of
bus routes.

Restaurant Occupancy Costs and Other Expenses
- ---------------------------------------------

Restaurant occupancy and other expenses expressed as a percentage of net
operating revenues were approximately 7.9% and 8.0%, respectively, for the
fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. The quarter to quarter
percentage increase is primarily due to: (i) a full quarter of operation of new
Company owned stores in leased properties, thereby reducing the percentage of
sales volume in Company owned properties, (ii) the payment of minimum rent in
certain stores, correlating with redictions in sales volume. The amount of
restaurant occupancy costs and

                                                                   Page 10 of 13


Other expenses were reduced to R$ 1,727,000 in the first quarter of 1997 from R$
1,837,000 in the fourth quarter of 1996, a 6% decrease.

Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------

Depreciation and amortization expressed as a percentage of net operating
revenues was approximately 1.6% and 5.2% for the fourth quarter of 1996 and the
first quarter of 1997, respectively. The amount for the fourth quarter of 1996,
includes the full effect in 1996 of the final determination of the allocation of
purchase price and the related goodwill on the acquisitions of Venbo, Mr Theo
and Bigburger. Had the above mentioned effects been predicated to the respective
quarters of 1996, depreciation and amortization expressed as a percentage of net
revenues would have been approximately 4.5% for the fourth quarter of 1996. The
increase to 5.2% in 1997 results from the opening of new Company owned outlets,
a full quarter of depreciation and amortization in the quarter ended March 31,
1997, and a lower net revenue base.

Other Operating Expenses
- ------------------------

Other operating expenses expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues
were approximately 12.9% and 15.2%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 1996
and the first quarter of 1997. The percentage increases result from lower sales
in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease from R$ 3,011,000 to R$ 2,919,000 is
primarily due to changes in: (i) the Company's public relations agency at a
lower cost, (ii) the Company's collection company, and (iii) the outsourced
personnel administration company, in all cases reducing costs and improving
quality of the services rendered.

Selling Expenses
- ----------------

Selling expenses, expressed as a percentage of total net operating revenues,
were approximately 7.2% and 5.4%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 1996
and the first quarter of 1997. The quarter to quarter decrease is primarily the
result of an intensive marketing effort during the fourth quarter of 1996,
particularly in local media in anticipation of new store openings, the holiday
season, new television commercials production and broadcasting, and point of
sale materials.

General and Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------------------

General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of total net
operating revenues, were approximately 16.2% and 14.1%, respectively, for the
fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. General and administrative
expenses for the fourth quarter of 1996 include approximately R$ 520,000 of
one-time charges comprised mainly of: (i) pre-opening costs such as hiring and
training of personnel, pre-opening rental expenses and permitting costs, (ii)
loss on the sale of certain former Bigburger stores to franchisees, (iii)
provisions for bad debts, (iv) contingencies for labor, civil and fiscal claims.
On the other hand, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of
1997 include approximately R$ 200,000 one-time net gains arising primarily from:

(i) a gain resulting from the buyout of a lease by a landlord of one of the
Company's locations, (ii) an insurance recovery received for a store which
remained closed for 8 months due to an explosion in a shopping mall. Excluding
the above mentioned effects from both the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first
quarter of 1997, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total
net operating revenues would be approximately 13.9% or R$ 3,252,000 and 14.6% or
R$ 2,799,000, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter
of 1997. The decrease is attributable to: a freeze on hiring of additional
headquarters personnel and one-time expenses related to the first National Bob's
Convention held in October 1996.

Interest Income and Expenses
- ----------------------------

Interest income and expenses expressed as a percentage of total net operating
revenues were approximately (0.1%) and (2.2)%, respectively, for the fourth
quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. This change is attributable to an
increase in borrowings from revolving lines of credit as well as the imposition
by the Brazilian government of a tax charged at a flat rate of 0.2% on every
bank account payment issued.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Since its Acquisition on March 19, 1996, the Company has funded its
operating losses and made acquisitions of businesses and capital improvements
(including furniture, fixtures and equipment) by using cash remaining at the
closing of the Acquisition, cash flow generated by operations and by borrowing
funds from various sources. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had cash on hand
of R$ 1,010,000 and a working capital deficiency of R$ 9,253,000.

      The Company's capital requirements are primarily for expansion of its
retail operations. Currently, 71 of the Company's stores are in leased
facilities and 9 are owned by the Company. During fiscal 1996, the Company's
average cost to open a store approximated R$ 300,000 to R$ 400,000, including
leasehold improvements, equipment and beginning inventory, as well as all
expenses for store design, site selection, lease negotiation, construction
supervision and permitting. The Company currently estimates that the capital
expenditures through fiscal 1997 will approximate R$ 3,000,000.

      The Company has received a commitment from an institutional investor for
an equity infusion of $4,500,000, subject to such investor's completion of its
"due diligence" investigation and the negotiation and execution of a definitive
purchase agreement. There can be no assurance that this proposed financing will
be consummated.

      The Company's continued operations are dependent in part upon its ability
to increase sales volume through enhancements of its stores, including but not
limited to new computerized systems, air conditioning and refurbishment of
interior designs. These activities, as well as sales promotional activities,
require a substantial amount of cash which the Company believes will be
generated from its current operations. The Company's working capital deficit, as
well as its need to improve its facilities, will be supported by cash flow from
operations, the proceeds of equity sales, and its borrowing facilities.

      The Company has also embarked on a plan to substantially reduce its costs,
specifically in the area of food purchases and general administrative expenses.
In the opinion of management, these actions, coupled with cash flow from
operations, vendor financing, available bank and equipment lines of credit and
its proposed sale of equity, discussed above, will provide sufficient working
capital for it to continue through the end of 1997.
