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


Overview

Income for the quarter was higher than the same period of the previous  year due
to the opening of seven new stores in the second  quarter of 1997 as compared to
three in the second  quarter of 1996,  an  increase  in same store sales year of
13%, its  corresponding  impact on  royalties  and  commissary  sales and higher
computer  system sales.  As of June 29, 1997,  the Company has opened a total of
140 Domino's units.  This includes 134 delivery units (9 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, the Company agreed to sell up to a 20% interest in its Domino's subsidiary
for approximately $4.5 million to prominent British  businessman Nigel Wray. IFS
will use the proceeds from the sale to finance a new commissary and distribution
center to support  continuing rapid growth of Domino's U.K. The Company recorded
$3,125,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of a 15% share and a net profit after
expenses  and taxes of  $1,756,038.  Mr.  Wray  holds an option  to  acquire  an
additional 5% for another $1.5 million.

In September  1996,  the Company sold one Haagen Dazs parlour back to the Master
Franchisor  in the UK. The Company is  attempting to divest the two other Haagen
Dazs units. The ice cream business is influenced by cold weather and the Company
experienced losses from these 2 units during the first quarter 1997. The margins
improved in the second quarter as the weather improved.

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 1996  financial  statements.  The  Company  has
subleased the property  commencing  April 1997 and  terminating  December  2010.
Since April, the income is reflected as rental income.

Comparison of the Thirteen Week Period March 30, 1997 to June 29, 1997 and April
1, 1996 to June 30, 1996.

Revenue

Total revenue for the period ended June 29, 1997 was $7,054,627,  an increase of
24.6% against the same period of 1996.  The main  constituents  of this increase
arose from royalty income which  increased by $266,814,  commissary  sales which
increased by $1,143,048, rental and other income which increased by $214,102 and
computer  sales which  increased  by  $106,043.  Sales at Company  owned  stores
decreased by $379,406.

                                        8
<PAGE>

For the period ended June 29, 1997,  system wide sales  totalled  $17.5  million
versus  $12.6  million in the  second  quarter of 1996.  This  represents  a 39%
improvement  from the previous year.  This increase in system-wide  sales is the
primary reason for the increase in royalty income and commissary sales.

The decrease in  comparative  sales at Company owned stores  resulted  primarily
from one less Haagen Dazs unit in operation and the operating of more  corporate
stores under the dealer development program than the previous year. Other income
increased as a result of the subleasing of the property formerly occupied by the
Company's Pizzazz restaurant.

Cost and Expenses

The Company  experienced an increase in cost of sales against the same period in
1996 from approximately $4,095,853 to $5,097,361, an increase of 24.5%. The cost
of sales as a percentage  of  commissary  sales  decreased by 3.2% from the same
period of the previous year because of better controls to ensure that Commissary
pricing was adjusted for raw material price fluctuations, and lower distribution
cost per  delivery.  The cost of sales as a  percentage  of Company  owned store
sales decreased from 62.5% in the same period in 1996 to 59.6% in 1997.

Income

Operating income of $285,928 was achieved in the period against operating income
of $14,553 in the  comparable  period in 1996.  This  increase in  profitability
resulted from an increase in sales and lower expenses.  The extraordinary income
of $17,752,038 was attributed to the sale by IFS of 15% of the UK subsidiary.

Comparison of the Twenty-six  Week Period December 30, 1996 to June 29, 1997 and
January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1996.

Revenue

Total  revenue  for  the  twenty-six   week  period  ended  June  29,  1997  was
$13,749,026,  an  increase of 31.6%  against  the same period of 1996.  The main
constituents of this increase were royalty income,  which increased by $518,402,
commissary sales,  which increased by $2,480,522,  rental and other income which
increased by $532,499 and computer sales which  increased by $226,972.  Sales at
Company owned stores decreased by $533,895.

For the period ended June 29, 1997,  system wide sales  totalled  $33.5  million
versus $24.1 million in the same twenty-six week period of 1996. This represents
a 39% improvement from the previous year. This increase in system-wide  sales is
the primary reason for the increase in royalty income and commissary sales.

The decrease in  comparative  sales at Company owned stores  resulted  primarily
from one less Haagen Dazs unit and the operating of more corporate  stores under
the dealer development  program than the previous year. Other income increase as
the result of the subleasing of the property  formerly occupied by the Company's
Pizzazz restaurant.

Cost and Expenses

The Company  experienced an increase in cost of sales against the same period in
1996 from approximately $7,799,798 to $10,060,053,  a increase of 29.0%. Cost of
sales went up due to increased sales, but margins  increased due to better price
controls.  The cost of sales as a percentage  of commissary  sales  decreased by
2.2%


                                       9
<PAGE>

from the same period of the previous  year because of better  controls to ensure
that Commissary  pricing was adjusted for raw material price  fluctuations,  and
lower  distribution  cost per  delivery.  The cost of sales as a  percentage  of
Company  owned stores sales  decreased  from 66.5% in the same period in 1996 to
60.7% in 1997.

Income

Operating income of $505,244 was achieved in the period against operating income
of $41,166 in the  comparable  period in 1996.  This  increase in  profitability
resulted from an increase in sales and higher margins.  The loss on discontinued
operations  is  attributed  to the  sit  down  restaurant,  Pizzazz,  which  was
operating  in the  first  five  months  of 1996.  The loss of  $400,986  in 1996
compares to the loss of $68,022 in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 29, 1997, the Company's working capital of $4.4 million compared to $2.6
million at June 30, 1996,  and $1.7 million at December 30, 1996.  The Company's
trade  receivable  has  decreased by $423,387  from the same period of the prior
year. The Company's  receivable  from related  parties  decreased by $408,373and
inventories  and other  receivable  have  increased by $434,983.  Total  current
liabilities  have  increased by $1,044,928  from the same period of the pervious
year. The principle  increase in current  liabilities is related almost entirely
to the  accrual  for  expenses  and taxes  related  to the sale of shares in the
subsidiary.  The Company believes that its working capital will be sufficient to
satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months.

The  Company  has  started  to  negotiate  on  the  purchase  of  land  and  the
construction  of a  new  commissary  and  headquarters  building.  The  existing
Commissary will adequately  service the dough  production  needs of existing and
projected  new  franchisees  for the  next  twelve  months.  The  Company  has a
tentative commitment from National Westminster Bank to provide financing for 70%
of the total estimated cost of $4 million for the new facility. The Company does
not believe that projected cash flow will be able to support the  development of
new   corporate   stores   and  the   remaining   30%  of  the   costs   of  the
land/construction.  The  Company is  exploring  different  ways to finance  this
project.

The Company  anticipates  it will spend  $500,000 to open  additional  corporate
stores and acquire commissary equipment in 1997. The Company is not obligated to
open any  additional  Company  owned  stores  through  the end of 1997 under the
Master Franchise Agreement.  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.

The Company does not anticipate that the loan to Crescent Capital will be repaid
before October 1997.

Exchange Rate

The weighted  exchange rate for the thirteen  weeks ended June 29, 1997 ($1.6370
per British pound sterling) was  approximately  7% higher than the exchange rate
during the comparable period in 1996 ($1.5283 per British pound sterling).  This
difference has the effect of improving the Company's results by approximately 7%
when expressed in U.S. dollars.

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




                                       10
<PAGE>

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.
