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: 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.

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 the apply. 6 2.

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 decreased $430,000 or 30.9% to $963,000 from $1,363,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from: * The sales of managed franchises stores decreased by $442,000 as a result of management's decision to divest itself from most corporately managed stores. * Royalties decreased $15,000 or 3.6% to $419,000 compared to $435,000 for the same period last year. * Supplier incentives decreased $34,000 or 9.7% to $315,000 compared to $349,000 for the same period last year. * Franchising decreased $45,000 or 73.8% to 16,000 compared to $61,000 for the same period last year. * In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 the Company commenced purchasing certain proprietary products directly from manufacturers and selling the proprietary products to distributors for distribution to the franchised and company managed locations. Revenues from those sales were $105,000. Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 decreased $477,000 or 43.1% to $629,000 from $1,106,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in expenses relate to the following: * Cost associated with managed franchised stores decreased $466,000 a direct result of the decrease in the number of corporately managed stores. * Head Office and Administration cost decreased $107,000 or 28.7% to $265,000 from $372,000 for the same period last year. The decreased in cost is a direct result of management's decision to reduce corporate overheads. * The cost of purchasing certain proprietary products for resale to distributors which commenced last fiscal year was $96,000. * Interest expense decreased by $19,000 or 32.8% to $40,000 from $59,000 last year. The decrease is a result of the difference between a debenture held by Royal Bank of Canada and its fair market value having been completely amortized. * Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $20,000 compared to a net income of $16,000 for the same period last year. 17 WORKING CAPITAL The working capital deficit at the end of the period was $615,000 compared to a working capital deficit of $847,000 for the same period last year. This improvement of $232,000 in the working capital deficit was achieved through cash flow from operations and negotiations with the Company's major lenders. During the year the term debt owed to the Standard Chartered Bank was acquired by a company owned by a group of private investors. A person related to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is associated with the investor group. Also the Company completed an agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada to reschedule the payment of its debenture. The debenture was due October 31, 1996. The bank has agreed to reschedule the debt payments and accrued interest. LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW During the quarter the operating cash flow was $72,000 compared to an outflow of $(110,000) for the same quarter of the last fiscal year. This is the result of a reduction in interest expense. An increase in depreciation and amortization and a decrease in non-cash operating working capital changes. 18 PART 11 OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 Legal Proceedings - See notes to Financial Statements Item 2 Changes in Securities - None Item 3 Defaults Upon Senior Securities - None Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders - None Item 5 Other Information The Buy/Sell agreement between TIEI, Paul J.
