(the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on October 28, 1988 under the name S.L. Resources, Inc. ("SLR"). The Company was formed as a blank check company to participate in business opportunities which the founding shareholder of S.L. Resources believed would arise from time to time. On July 21, 1989, SLR completed an initial public offering of 7,000,000 Units, Common Stock and Warrants with net proceeds of (US) $528,000. On January 31, 1992, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Triadon Capital Corporation ("TCC") in exchange for 29,999,998 (9,999,999 post 1 for 3 reverse split) shares of common stock of the Company. Subsequently, the Company changed its name to Treats International Enterprises, Inc. and operated its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary Treats Inc. Treats Inc. is the parent company to a number of other entities, specifically: CHOCOLATE GOURMET TREATS LIMITED ("CGTL") TREATS ONTARIO INC. TREATS INTERNATIONAL INC. TRIADON INVESTMENT GROUP INC. ("TIG") ACCOUNTING AND CONSULTING INC. Treats International Enterprises, Inc. is an international franchisor carrying on the business of selling the right to market the Treats System. The Treats System entails the preparation and sale of cookies, muffins, gourmet specialty coffees, and related food and beverage products in retail stores using a system and methodology of marketing developed and designed by the Company and identified by the trademark TREATS. As at September 30, 1996 there were 169 retail units in North America utilizing the Treats System. 167 of these units are owned and operated by franchisees, while 2 are at present corporately managed. 163 units are located in Canada and 6 are located in the United States. The Company grants both single unit franchises and area development franchises throughout Canada and the United States. While there are currently no operations outside of North America, it is the Company's intention to sell National Licenses in the future. The Company is currently able to sell franchises in most States of the United States with the exception of North Dakota. The Company has taken no steps to comply with any other International government franchise regulatory agencies. 4 ITEM 1 BUSINESS (CONT'D) The Company markets essentially three variations on the Treats concept. The Treats Bakery, normally 250 - 500 square feet in size with no seating area of its own, the Treats Bakery Cafe, normally 500 - 2,500 square feet in size with its own seating arrangement, and Treats International Coffee Emporium varies normally 500 - 2,000 square feet with its own seating arrangements. Treats franchise stores are found in a variety of locations including office complexes, shopping malls, mixed use properties (commercial location with a shopping area), street front locations, transportation terminals, and universities. The Company seeks locations or sites in high pedestrian traffic areas, where high visibility prevails. For substantially all single store franchises in Canada, the Company or one of its subsidiaries has entered into a lease (the "Head Lease") with the relevant landlord and the location is sub-leased at the same cost to the franchisee. The Head Lease is the lease agreement between the landlord and the entity which signs it ("Tenant"). The Tenant is bound by the terms and conditions thereof. Generally for stores opened by an Area Franchisee, the franchisee enters into the head lease directly and the head lease is collaterally assigned to the Company. The collateral assignment means the Company does not have all the rights and obligations associated with entering into the head lease. It gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to assume the franchisee's position under the Head Lease if the franchisee defaults under its obligations under the Area Franchise Agreement with the Company. Franchisee in this context means the person who enters into the Franchise Agreement in a location covered under an Area Franchise Agreement. Treats' franchisees prepare their baked goods on site daily in order to ensure wholesomeness and to attract customers with provocative fresh baked smells. The Company's principal products are prepared according to proprietary recipes in many cases using dry mixes which have been manufactured to the Company's specifications by the Quaker Oats Company of Canada. 5 ITEM 2 PROPERTIES The Company at present owns no real properties. LEASED PREMISES The Company currently leases space for its head office in Ottawa, Canada. The Company has a lease commitment until April 30, 2001. (See Related Party Transactions Part 111 Item 13) ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a defendant in the following civil litigation: (i) Triadon Investment Group Inc., a subsidiary company, is named in an action by the Royal Bank of Canada the largest common shareholder of the Company, and judgement was awarded against the subsidiary for $119,353. As the subsidiary company is inactive and without assets, no provision has been recorded in respect of this judgement. (ii) The Company is also a defendant in several actions arising in the normal course of business, for example; lease disputes and dispute with franchisee, the final outcome of which cannot be determined at this time.

(see Note 13, June 30,1996, Note 13, June 30,1995/1994) 10 ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (All numbers are in Canadian $ unless otherwise noted) GENERAL * THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995. The system-wide retail sales for the twelve months ended June 30, 1996 were $30,269,836, a 2.0% decrease over sales of $30,893,698 for the previous fiscal year. While the Company has opened 9 new franchise locations during the past fiscal year, the number of units has remained relatively static for a number of reasons. The lack of working capital for development and marketing support has had significant impact on the Company's plans for growth. In response to the success of concepts such as Starbucks, the Company has developed a Treats concept with a strong focus on gourmet and specialty coffees. To date the Company has opened and, or converted 11 locations of this concept variation which have generally been very well received. Concept development is complete as at June 30, 1996. The Company intends to actively pursue new locations featuring the coffee Emporium concept. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS * THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995. Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 1996 was $5,625,000 compared to $4,878,000 for the previous fiscal year. This increase of $747,000, or 15.3% resulted from: * Sales of managed restaurants increased $527,000 or 33.4% to $2,106,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 compared to $1,579,000 for the 12 months last year. * Revenue from royalties for the year decreased $105,000 to $1,842,000 compared to $1,947,000 last year. * Revenue from supplier incentives increased 19.25% in the twelve months to $1,193,000 from $1,001,000 last year. * Revenue from franchising has decreased 59.5% in the year to $142,000 compared to $352,000 last year. * The Company in this year commenced purchasing certain proprietary products directly from manufacturers, selling those products to distributors for delivery to the Companies owned and franchised stores. Revenues from those sales were $341,000. 11 ITEM 7 MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) Expenses for the year ended June 30, 1996 increased $848,000 to $5,619,000 compared to $4,771,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995. The net increase in cost and expenses relate to the following: * Franchising costs, which are marketing related, were 28.2% lower at $121,000 compared to $168,000 for last year. * Administration cost increased by 10.1% to $2,037,000 compared to $1,850,000 for last year. * Costs associated with managed restaurants' operations increased by $393,000 or 23.3% from $1,687,000 to $2,080,000 year to year, a direct result of the increase in the number of managed stores. * Interest expense decreased by $27,000, or 9.8%, to $249,000 from $276,000 for the 12 months last year. * The cost of purchasing certain proprietary products for resale to distributors introduced in this fiscal year was $294,000. Net Income for the year ended June 30, 1996 was $6,000 compared to a net income of $107,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995. CAPITAL RESOURCES - June 30, 1996 The Company's capital asset requirements, as stated in the past, are not very demanding. Funds are needed to upgrade the reporting system from franchisees. The present system is adequate for the time being but new electronic sales recording equipment will improve the royalty collection through improved control and more efficient collection. LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW - June 30, 1996 The working capital deficit at the year end improved by $593,000 to $(591,000) at June 30, 1996 compared to $(1,184,000) at June 30, 1995. The June 30, 1995 working capital deficit position had also improved by $82,000 over the June 30, 1994 position. The cash flow from operations during fiscal 1996 was $657,000 compared to $585,000 in fiscal 1995. 12 ITEM 7 MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW (CONT'D) DEBT TO EQUITY: The ratio of debt to equity is constant at the end of the current financial year. The ratio at June 30, 1996 was .28 to 1 compared to .3 to 1 as at June 30, 1995. IN THE YEAR: The term loan facility of $673,500 with Standard Chartered Bank of Canada which became due on January 1, 1996 was acquired by 3193853 Canada Inc., the president of which is a family member of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The principal amount of $660,000, repayable in monthly instalments of $10,000 plus interest at prime plus 2.5% is due in March 2001. The term loan balance at year end was $608,000. The Company negotiated a term loan with the Business Development Bank of Canada repayable in 50 monthly instalments of $2,000 plus interest at prime plus 4%. The term loan balance at year end was $96,000, it is due on June 23, 2000. On February 29, 1996 the Company arranged new banking facilities with the Bank of Nova Scotia. Effective January 31, 1996 a debenture held by the Royal Bank of Canada which was due on October 31, 1996 was renegotiated to a due date of June 30, 2001. Principal payments in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997 are $10,000 per month plus interest at 8%. The balance of the debenture as at June 30, 1996 was $1,129,562. 13 ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (All numbers are in Canadian $ unless otherwise noted) GENERAL * THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994. The system-wide retail sales for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 were $30,893,698 a 2.3% increase over sales of $30,191,710 for the previous fiscal year. While the Company has opened 21 new franchise locations during the past fiscal year, the number of units has remained relatively static for a number of reasons. The lack of working capital for development and marketing support has had significant impact on the Company's plans for growth. In response to the success of concepts such as Starbucks, Barneys and Gloria Jean's, the Company has developed a "hybrid" Treats concept with a very strong focus on gourmet coffees. The Coffee Emporium concept in the Orlando, Florida market area has been under development in co-operation with the area developer. Two different size locations have been opened on a test basis and development is expected to be complete by June 30, 1996. Other locations are under negotiation. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS * THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994. Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 1995 was $4,878,000 compared to $4,109,000 for the previous fiscal year. This increase of $769,000, or 18.7% resulted primarily from the increased numbers of managed restaurants, from nine to fifteen at June 30, 1995. Sales of managed restaurants increased $767,000 or 94.5% to $1,579,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 compared to $812,000 for the 12 months last year. Revenue from royalties for the year decreased $54,000 to $1,947,000 compared to $2,001,000 last year. Revenues from supplier incentive declined 2.3% in the twelve months to $1,001,000 from $1,024,000 last year. The revenues from franchising have improved 29.0% in the year to $351,000 compared to $272,000 last year. 14 ITEM 7 MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) Expenses for the year ended June 30, 1995 increased $849,000 to $4,771,000 compared to $3,922,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 1994. The net increase in cost and expenses relate to the following: * Franchising costs, which are marketing related, were 27.0% lower at $168,000 compared to $230,000 for last year. * Administration cost decreased by 1.5% to $1,850,000 compared to $1,878,000 for last year. * Costs associated with managed restaurants' operations increased by $855,000 or 102.8% from $832,000 to $1,687,000 year to year, a direct result of the increase in the number of managed stores. * Interest expense increased by $61,000, or 28.4%, to $276,000 from $215,000 for the 12 months last year as a result of the Royal Bank of Canada converting their special shares and a subordinated interest free debenture into preference shares and a 8% debenture as of June 30, 1994. Net Income for the year ended June 30, 1995 was $107,000 compared to a net income of $187,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994. The decrease in profitability is a result of the higher interest charges and the negative impact from the increase in managed stores. CAPITAL RESOURCES - June 30, 1995 The Company's capital asset requirements, as stated in the past, are not very demanding. Funds are needed to upgrade the reporting system from franchisees. The present system is adequate for the time being but new electronic sales recording equipment will improve the royalty collection through better control and faster collection. LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW - June 30, 1995 The working capital deficit at the year end was improved by $82,000 to $(1,185,000) at June 30, 1995 compared to $(1,267,000) at June 30, 1994. The June 30, 1994 working capital deficit position had also been improved by $378,000 over the June 30, 1993 position. The cash flow from operations during fiscal 1995 was $585,000 compared to $1,140.000 in fiscal 1994. The operational cash flow was lower due to the reduced net profit combined with higher use of cash to fund the increase in accounts receivable and paydown of trade accounts over the twelve month period ended June 30, 1995. 15 ITEM 7 MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW (CONT'D) DEBT TO EQUITY: The ratio of debt to equity is constant at the end of the current financial year. The ratio at June 30, 1995 was .3 to 1 compared to .3 to 1 as at June 30, 1994. The Company has been advised by their principal bankers that the term loan which is due in January 1996, will not be extended. The Company is currently seeking new bankers with the objective of obtaining more favourable repayment terms for the outstanding balance of $673,500. The Royal Bank has agreed to extend its debenture to a longer pay back in conjunction with the revised terms of the new banking arrangement. Management is confident that the new banking arrangement will be in place before the loan is due in January 1996. Subsequent to the June 1994 debt restructure, the Company reserved 350,000 common shares for the Royal Bank of Canada, to be issued at nominal consideration, in the event the Company was unsuccessful in raising U.S. $4 Million in new equity by June 30, 1995.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC. as at June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated statements of income and deficit, cash flow and of stockholders' equity for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (which also conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION These consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries from the date of acquisition as follows: - Treats Inc. - Treats Ontario Inc. - Chocolate Gourmet Treats Limited - Accounting & Consulting Inc. - Treats International Inc. - Triadon Investment Group Inc. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (which also conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) and include the following significant accounting policies: ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. - 7 - TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) REVENUE RECOGNITION Franchise revenue arises on the sale of national, area and store franchises. Franchise store revenue is recognized as income when the respective purchase and sale agreements have been signed, the funds have been received, all material conditions relating to the sale have been substantially completed by the Company and the franchise store has commenced operations. Revenue from national and area franchise agreements is recognized when the area development agreement has been signed and all substantial obligations of the Company have been completed. When payment for the sale of a national or area franchise is based on a contract over a period longer than twelve months, the Company recognizes revenue based on the assessment of collectibility. The total contract is recorded as deferred revenue, and revenue recognition commences when payments in excess of 25% of the total contract have been received and management has ascertained that there is a sufficient level of certainty that the balance of the contract is collectible. Deposits that are non-refundable under the franchising agreement are recognized as franchising revenue when received. Royalties are recognized when they are earned, based on a percentage of the franchisees' sales on a weekly basis. Supplier incentives are recognized in the period to which they apply. - 8 - TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) FRANCHISE STORES HELD FOR RESALE Franchise stores held for resale are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. CAPITAL ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for at rates intended to write off the assets over their estimated economic lives, as follows: Furniture and fixtures - 5 years straight-line Machinery and equipment - 5 years straight-line Reference books - 5 years straight-line FRANCHISE RIGHTS Franchise rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for on the straight-line basis over 20 years. DEFERRED ISSUE COSTS Deferred issue costs represent fees incurred in connection with the preparation of regulatory filings for the issue of capital stock. These costs are charged to capital stock in the period the stock is issued. DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS Deferred development costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over 3 years. DEFERRED EMPORIUM COSTS The Coffee Emporium project was completed on June 30, 1996 and the costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years commencing July 1, 1996. - 9 - TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Foreign currency transactions are translated using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities as well as non-monetary items carried at market value are translated at year-end exchange rates. Other non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Gains or losses resulting from exchange translation are included in income. EARNINGS PER SHARE Net earnings per share are calculated using the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year plus the net additional number of shares which would be issuable upon the exercise of stock options, assuming that the Company used the proceeds received to purchase additional shares at market value. 3.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Treats International Enterprises, Inc. as at June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated statements of income and deficit, cash flow and of stockholders' equity for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (which also conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States). /s/ Orenstein & Partners Orenstein & Partners Chartered Accountants August 24, 1995 -1- TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION These consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries from the date of acquisition as follows: - Treats Inc. - Treats Ontario Inc. - Chocolate Gourmet Treats Limited - Accounting & Consulting Inc. - Treats International Inc. - Triadon Investment Group Inc. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (which also conform in all material respects with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) and include the following significant accounting policies: REVENUE RECOGNITION Franchise revenue arises on the sale of national, area and restaurant franchises. Restaurant franchise revenue is recognized as income when the respective purchase and sale agreements have been signed, the funds have been received, all material conditions relating to the sale have been substantially completed by the Company and the restaurant has commenced operations. Revenue from national and area franchise agreements is recognized when the area development agreement has been signed and all substantial obligations of the Company have been completed. -7- TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONT'D) When payment for the sale of a national or area franchise is based on a contract over a period longer than twelve months, the Company recognizes revenue based on the assessment of collectability. The total contract is recorded as deferred revenue, and revenue recognition commences when payments in excess of 25% of the total contract have been received and management has ascertained that there is a sufficient level of certainty that the balance of the contract is collectible. Deposits that are non-refundable under the franchising agreement are recognized as franchising revenue when received. Royalties are recognized when they are earned, based on a percentage of the franchisees' sales on a weekly basis. Supplier incentives are recognized in the period to which they apply. RESTAURANTS HELD FOR RESALE Restaurants held for resale are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. CAPITAL ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for at rates intended to write off the assets over their estimated economic lives, as follows: Furniture and fixtures - 5 years straight-line Machinery and equipment - 5 years straight-line Reference books - 5 years straight-line FRANCHISE RIGHTS Franchise rights are being carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for on the straight-line basis over 20 years. -8- TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (CANADIAN DOLLARS) 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D) DEFERRED ISSUE COSTS Deferred issue costs represent fees incurred in connection with the preparation of regulatory filings for the issue of capital stock. These costs are charged to capital stock in the period the stock is issued. DEFERRED EMPORIUM COSTS As the project the Coffee Emporium was substantially completed as at June 30, 1995, the costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years commencing July 1, 1995. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Foreign currency transactions are translated using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities as well as non-monetary items carried at market value are translated at year-end exchange rates. Other non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Gains or losses resulting from exchange translation are included in income. EARNINGS PER SHARE Net earnings per share are calculated using the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year plus the net additional number of shares which would be issuable upon the exercise of stock options, assuming that the Company used the proceeds received to purchase additional shares at market value. 3.

The funds are expected to be received within the next fiscal year. 6.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (a) The Company is a defendant in the following civil litigation: (i) Triadon Investment Group Inc., a subsidiary company, was named in an action by a bank and judgement was awarded against the subsidiary for $119,353.

(ii) The Company is also a defendant in several actions arising in the normal course of business, the final outcome of which cannot be determined at this time. An aggregate provision of approximately $436,000 has been recorded. Any settlement in regard of the above actions in excess of amounts provided will be recorded in the statement of income in the fiscal year the settlement occurs. (b) Certain franchised restaurants occupy their premises under lease arrangements wherein the Company is primarily responsible for performance under the lease. These leases are assigned to the franchisee, which becomes directly responsible for the contractual obligations under the lease.

CAPITAL STOCK REVERSE STOCK SPLIT - JUNE 10, 1993 On June 10, 1993, by consent of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to reverse split the common stock 1 for 3 effective June 21, 1993. STOCK ISSUE - SEPTEMBER 30, 1992 On September 30, 1992 the Company issued 33,333 common shares for cash consideration of $373,920 (U.S. $300,000). This equity was provided by Austin Bernet, Inc., a related party at that time. STOCK ISSUE - FEBRUARY 5, 1993 On February 5, 1993, Treats International Enterprises, Inc. concluded a private sale transaction with Austin Bernet Inc. and other entities which may be affiliated with the latter, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These holders of 2,315,000 Class A warrants and 2,315,000 Class B warrants (issued with the initial public offering), exercised those warrants for a cash consideration of $1,823,063. On the close of business February 5, 1993 unexercised warrants expired. The above private sale allowed all Class A warrant holders to exercise their Class A warrants at $0.27 for one share of the Company's common stock and all Class B warrant holders to exercise their Class B warrants at $0.36 for one share of the Company's common stock. This resulted in the issue of 4,630,000 common shares for net proceeds of $1,823,063 (U.S.$1,458,450). Each share bears a restrictive legend prohibiting the resale of the share of common stock, except where the resale is pursuant to the registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom: such as, compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission under the U.S. Securities Act. These same shares were sold on June 10, 1994 by Austin Bernet Inc. to a company controlled by the President and Chief Executive Officer. -14- TREATS INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC.

CAPITAL STOCK (CONT'D) STOCK ISSUE - DEBT RESTRUCTURING - JUNE 30, 1994 The Company concluded its negotiations under a private placement offering to restructure its debt and capital, effective June 30, 1994, as follows: Royal Bank of Canada, in consideration for retiring the outstanding debenture of $4,732,779, issued a subordinated debenture of $1,000,000 adjusted for $150,000 accretion to $850,000 (see note 7) and was issued 5,409,825 non-voting series A preference shares for the balance.
