                 Notes to Interim Condensed Financial Statements


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

          Revenues. The Company's gross revenues for the three months ended June
30, 1997 were $2,035,353  compared to $1,048,286 for the three months ended June
30, 1996, an increase of $987,067 or 94%. Revenues increased in 1997 as a result
of the opening of new concessions at airports in the United States in the second
and fourth  quarters of 1996 and in the second  quarter of 1997.  Revenues  from
concession  activities  increased $980,693  ($1,858,247 as compared to $877,554)
while food  preparation  revenues  increased  $19,738  ($152,316  as compared to
$132,575),  offsetting  a slight  decrease  in  franchise  royalties  of $13,367
($24,790 as compared to $38,157).

          Cost of Goods  Sold.  The cost of goods sold for the six months  ended
June 30, 1997 were $644,225 compared to $322,853 for the three months ended June
30, 1996. As a percentage of total  revenue,  the cost of goods  increased  from
30.7% to 31.6%.  This increase is attributable  to the Company's  requirement to
purchase  additional  food product from outside  vendors to meet certain airport
requirements  that  arise  when a new  concession  is  operated  "as  is"  until
build-out to a Creative Host store.

          Operating  Costs and  Expenses.  Operating  costs and expenses for the
three  months ended June 30, 1997 were  $1,103,487  compared to $447,685 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.  Payroll  expense  increased  from $234,620 to
$744,520 in 1997. As a percentage of total revenue,  payroll  expense was 22% in
1996 and 37% in 1997. The increase in payroll expense is attributed to extensive
store  management  replacement  required by a loss of certain payroll  controls.
Management  believes  that  proper  controls  are now in place and that  payroll
expense  will  decrease  significantly  in the second half of 1997.  The Company
expects  payroll costs to increase in total dollar  amounts with the addition of
new  concession  facilities  and to decrease as a percentage  of revenues as new
concessions mature and more advanced control measures are put in place.  General
and administrative expenses increased from $167,553 in 1996 to $192,351 in 1997,
but decreased as a percentage  of revenues  from 16% in 1996 to 9% in 1997.  The
Company intends to hire additional  administrative  staff  commensurate with its
growth.  Consequently,  general and administrative  expenses should be higher in
the last six months of 1997,  and may  represent a greater  percentage  of total
revenues.

          Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense  increased  from  $32,160 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, to $62,235 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997. As a
percentage of total revenues, interest expense remained constant at 3%.

          Net Income (Loss). Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was $37,972 compared to $78,343 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Income
from operations  decreased from $110,195 in 1996 to $95,290 in 1997.  Management
attributes  this  decrease to the  start-up and  training  costs  related to the
opening of two new airport facilities in May and June of 1997.

increased  $1,957,126  ($3,726,522 as compared to $1,769,396)  for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997,  offsetting  a slight  decrease in food  preparation
center  sales of $20,866  ($307,313  as  compared  to  $328,179)  and  franchise
royalties of $15,223 ($57,299 as compared to $72,522).

         Cost of Goods  Sold.  The cost of goods sold for the six  months  ended
June 30, 1997 were $1,320,492 compared to $698,684 for the six months ended June

constant at 32%.

         Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 were  $2,160,243  compared to $1,022,558  for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  Payroll expense  increased from $573,209 in 1996 to
$1,444,164 in 1997. As a percentage of total revenue, payroll expense was 35% in
the  six-month  period ended June 30, 1997 and 26% in the same period last year.
General and  Administrative  expense increased from $307,070 in 1996 to $431,268
in 1997. As a percentage of total revenue,  general and administrative  expenses
decreased  from 14% in the  six month  period  ended June 30, 1996 to 11% in the
six-month period ended June 30, 1997.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the six-month period ended June
30, 1977 was $128,563 as compared to $66,715 for the six-month period ended June
30, 1996. As a percentage of total revenues,  interest expense remained constant
at 3%.

         Net Income  (Loss).  Net income for the six months  ended June 30, 1997
was $56,486  compared to $75,378 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Income
from operations increased from $141,785 in 1996 to $179,131 in 1997.

         The Company does not believe the inflation  has had a material  adverse
effect on its revenues and earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The  registrant  believes  funds  provided from the  completion of its
public  offering of July 22, 1997, and funds from  operations will be sufficient
for its  immediate  needs  for  working  capital  and to build  out new  airport
concessions  under  contract to open in 1997.  The Company's  anticipated  major
financial commitments relate to the cost of building and

                                        8

equipping new airport concession  facilities as they are obtained.  In September
of 1997,  the Company was awarded  three new airport  concession  locations  and
plans to be  operating  at these  locations  within  the next nine  months.  The
Company believes that it has sufficient  capital from cash flow and the proceeds
of its  public  offering  to meet  its  capital  requirements  to open  its 1997
contracted  concessions.  However,  as the Company  continues to win  additional
airport   concessions  awards,  it  does  anticipate  the  need  for  additional
construction financing.

Litigation

          In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become involved in
disputes or litigation.  On the basis of information available,  management does
not believe that such contingencies  would have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
