               COLORADO THAN IN YOUR HOME STATE.

          2.   THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT STATES THAT COLORADO LAW GOVERNS THE
               AGREEMENT, AND THIS LAW MAY NOT PROVIDE THE SAME PROTECTION AND
               BENEFITS AS LOCAL LAW. YOU MAY WANT TO COMPARE THESE LAWS.

          3.   THERE MAY BE OTHER RISKS CONCERNING THIS FRANCHISE.

                 THE FRANCHISOR, ITS PREDECESSORS AND AFFILIATES

The Franchisor.
--------------

     The name of the franchisor is Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc. For ease of
reference, Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc. will be referred to as "we", "us"
or "PAK MAIL" in this Offering Circular. We will refer to the person who buys
the franchise as "you" throughout this Offering Circular. If the franchisee is a
corporation, partnership or limited liability company, certain provisions of the
Franchise Agreement also apply to the owners as noted in the Franchise
Agreement. PAK MAIL's principal offices are located at 7173 South Havana Street,
Suite 600, Englewood, Colorado 80112. We presently do business under the name
"Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc." and "Pak Mail." We were formed on January
27, 1984, as a Colorado corporation. We have no predecessors or affiliates. Our
agents for service of process are listed on Exhibit A.

Our Business.
------------

     We operate and franchise the operation of stores, known as "PAK MAIL
Centers," offering a variety of packaging, shipping, mailing, communications and
information products and services to residential and commercial customers. PAK
MAIL Centers utilize the services of both the U.S. Postal Service and private
carriers. PAK MAIL Centers offer parcel and freight shipping; custom packaging
and crating; freight forwarding; residential and office moving; package
receiving; priority through parcel post mail service; coverage against loss and
breakage; electronic commerce; facsimile transmissions; notary public services;
money orders; photocopying; passport and identification photos; laminating;
custom printing; custom rubber stamps; key making; and the sales of packaging
materials, office supplies, greeting cards, gift wrapping and other items and
materials which we approve. Not all Centers offer all of these services and
products. Sales of each of these products and services as a percentage of total
sales will vary from Center to Center.

     PAK MAIL Centers operate under our distinctive business format, systems,
methods, procedures, designs, layouts and specifications ("System"). We
franchise the operation of PAK MAIL Centers under our trade and service mark
"PAK MAIL" and other logos, trademarks, service marks and commercial symbols
("Marks").

The Franchise.
-------------

     Our Franchise Agreement ("Franchise Agreement"), which is attached as
Exhibit B to this Offering Circular, must be signed for each PAK MAIL franchise
you purchase. You will receive the right to use our Marks and System to operate
your PAK MAIL Center ("Center"), at your business premises which we must first
approve ("Franchised Location").

     We also offer a "Conversion Franchise," which is a franchise established by
converting an operating packaging and shipping center to a PAK MAIL Center. If
you purchase a Conversion Franchise, you sign the Amendment to Franchise
Agreement, attached to this Offering Circular as Exhibit F, in addition to
signing the Franchise Agreement. Unless stated otherwise in this Offering
Circular, the purchaser of a Conversion Franchise has the same franchise
relationship with us as the purchaser of a traditional franchise.

<PAGE>

     We also grant area franchises for the marketing of franchised Centers. Area
franchise operators provide certain assistance and support for PAK MAIL Centers
within a designated geographic area. Area franchises are only available to
persons whose qualifications include past sales and marketing experience and a
minimum net worth of approximately $200,000. Area franchises are only offered in
selected geographic regions. Area franchises are offered by a separate offering
circular.

     In addition, we sell master licenses for certain geographic areas outside
of the United States. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we had master
licensees in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, Honduras, Belize,
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
Master licensees typically are required to develop between 10 and 50 Centers in
a large geographic area over a number of years. Master licensees sign a Master
License Agreement not included in this Offering Circular.

Regulations.
-----------

     A few states, and even some counties, regulate mailbox rentals by
establishing certain prohibitions relating to the use of rented mailboxes. In
addition, our Centers operate as a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency which is
described in the United States Postal Service Domestic Mail Manual. You must
also comply with applicable state and federal shipping regulations regarding
interstate shipping of alcohol, tobacco, hazardous materials and other materials
and items. You must also comply with your state's regulations and procedures for
becoming a notary public and applicable bonding requirements for other offered
services, such as money orders. Otherwise, we are aware of no other regulations
specific to the operation of a PAK MAIL Center in your state. You are
responsible for complying with any applicable regulations described above, as
well as with all local, state and federal laws of a general nature which affect
the operation of your business. You are responsible for complying with
employment, worker's compensation, insurance, corporate, taxing, licensing and
similar laws and regulations of a more general nature applicable to most
businesses.

Market and Competition.
----------------------

     PAK MAIL Centers offer a wide variety of packaging, shipping, mailing,
private mailbox rental and business support services to both commercial and
residential customers in a location intended to be convenient to the consumer.
Commercial customers may use a PAK MAIL Center as a source for some or all of
their packaging and shipping needs, sometimes in lieu of having and supporting
their own mailing room. Often a commercial customer may have their own shipping
room, yet not have access to crating services or comprehensive freight
insurance. Residential customers may save the time and expense of making
multiple trips to different locations to mail, ship, copy and fax by obtaining
all of these services at a PAK MAIL Center. Home-based businesses may utilize a
PAK MAIL Center as their office away from their office at home. Finally, some
customers may not otherwise have easy access to a service that will pack and
ship very small, very fragile, very heavy or very large items to domestic and
international destinations.

     The market for the products and services which PAK MAIL Centers offer is
developing rapidly, changing constantly and becoming increasingly competitive.
Each PAK MAIL Center offers services to both residential and business consumers.
As a PAK MAIL franchisee, your competition will include postal and package
delivery carriers and a growing number of businesses offering packaging and
mailing products and services. You will also compete directly and indirectly,
with freight and mail carriers, mail service centers (including nationally
franchised chains), custom packaging services and related businesses.

Our Prior Business Experience.
-----------------------------

     As a franchisor, we have 18 years of experience and know-how in the
operation of PAK MAIL Centers. We have impacted the growth and development of
the packaging, shipping and business support franchise industry through our
research and development of computerized operating systems, accounting and
business management software, crating and freight services, regional and
national training programs, database management and marketing, customer
retention programs, state of the art packaging and computer labs, detailed
step-by-step manuals for operating a PAK MAIL Center, electronic commerce
partnerships, an annual marketing plan and calendar and an emphasis on marketing
to and servicing commercial customers.

     We currently do not operate any PAK MAIL Centers. We have operated PAK MAIL
Centers in the past. Since our formation, we have offered single-unit and
multi-unit franchises for PAK MAIL Centers. We have also entered into agreements
with qualified persons to act as our representatives to sell PAK MAIL Center
franchises and perform some of our obligations under area franchise agreements
within designated geographic areas. We may delegate the performance of some of
our obligations and duties under our franchise agreements to an area
representative.

     We began an area franchise program in January 1984. We changed some of the
terms of our agreements with our area developers ("Area Developers") in 1994 and
began an area marketing program with area marketers ("Area Marketers") at that
time.

     We have not offered franchises in any other line of business.

                              INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE

     Except as listed below in this Item, a nonrefundable initial franchise fee
of $27,950 is payable to us in full when you sign the Franchise Agreement.

     If you have owned a packaging and mailing store for at least one year and
you sign a Franchise Agreement for a PAK MAIL Center franchise, the initial
franchise fee to convert your existing business to a PAK MAIL Center
("Conversion Franchise") is discounted to $5,000. This nonrefundable initial
franchise fee is paid in full when you sign the Franchise Agreement. The
Conversion Franchise fee also applies to existing franchisees who purchase
competing businesses and convert them into PAK MAIL Centers.

     If you qualify and are approved by us to purchase and operate multiple PAK
MAIL Centers, you may purchase a franchise for a second PAK MAIL Center for 60%
of the then current initial franchise fee. You may purchase third and subsequent
franchises for PAK MAIL Centers at 40% of the then current initial franchise
fee. In order to qualify and be approved for multiple franchises, you must meet
our then current financial and other qualifications standards for multiple
franchise owners at the time of the desired purchase and must otherwise be in
good standing under any existing franchise agreements with us. A separate
franchise agreement is executed for each franchise purchased. We may change or
discontinue our current policy of discounting fees for second and subsequent
franchises at any time.

     If your PAK MAIL Center will be located in one of the 48 contiguous states,
you may pay us to construct and equip your PAK MAIL Center under the terms of
our "Build-Out Program." If you choose to participate in the Build-Out Program,
you must execute a Build-Out Program Addendum at the same time you execute the
Franchise Agreement. You must pay us the build-out costs before commencement of
the build-out services. All fees paid under the Build-Out Program are
nonrefundable. If you obtain a binding financing commitment from a third party
lending source, we may elect to accept an alternative payment plan for the
build-out costs. Build-out costs are based on the costs to develop and construct
the Center and are agreed to by you and by us, when we sign the Build-Out
Program Addendum. Build-out costs also include a fee to us over and above the
actual cost of development of the Center in the amount of approximately 17% of
the cost.

     Certain of our area franchisees also offer their own build-out programs to
franchisees buying a franchise for a Center to be located in their territories.
If you choose to purchase build-out services from an area franchisee who offers
these services in your area, you will pay build-out program fees to the area
franchisee. Such build-out fees are nonrefundable. See Items 7, 8 and 11. We
also offer our Build-Out Program in all areas where area franchisees offer their
own build-out programs.

     In addition to the initial franchise fee, you will incur costs of between
$550 and $1,000 for materials to assist in advertising and marketing your PAK
MAIL Center ("Marketing Material Beginning Inventory Fee"). You determine the
exact amount of the Marketing Material Beginning Inventory Fee. The entire
Marketing Material Beginning Inventory Fee is payable to us during the initial
training program. Once paid, no part of the Marketing Material Beginning
Inventory Fee is refundable to you. The marketing materials you receive when you
pay the Marketing Material Beginning Inventory Fee assist you in marketing your
PAK MAIL Center for up to one year after your Center opens, but you have to pay
additional amounts to third parties throughout the first year to effectively
utilize these marketing materials and to effectively market your PAK MAIL
Center.

     Before opening your PAK MAIL Center, you will also incur costs of between
$2,500 and $4,000 for inventory and supplies, which amounts are payable to us or
other approved suppliers. These costs include box inventory and packaging tools
and supplies. These costs are nonrefundable once paid in all circumstances. See
Item 7.

     Before opening your PAK MAIL Center, you must purchase through us a
point-of-sale computer system ("POS System") on which has been installed certain
proprietary computer software licensed to you by a third party (the "Program"),
as well as additional software. The $8,935 to $9,835 purchase price, which is
payable to us when you order the POS System, includes the $4,000 license fee for
the Program. These costs are non-refundable once paid in all circumstances. See
Items 7 and 11. We require our franchisees to use the Program. You will also be
required to maintain an account with an internet service provider to access our
web-based e-mail system.

     Except as outlined in this Item 5, all franchisees currently acquiring a
franchise pay the same franchise fee. Franchisees who participate in our
referral program display postcards in their Centers for use by their customers
who are interested in obtaining more information from us regarding a Pak Mail
franchise. If a referral becomes a franchisee and the other requirements of the
referral program are satisfied, franchisees are paid a commission for helping
us. We may change or discontinue the referral program at any time. Otherwise, no
fees are collected by or for a third party, except as outlined in this Item 5.

Explanatory Notes
-----------------

     Note 1: Initial Franchise Fee. If you qualify and are approved to operate a
second or subsequent PAK MAIL Center, you may pay a discounted initial franchise
fee. See Item 5.

     Note 2: Furniture, Fixtures and Leasehold Improvements. If you do not
already own or lease a suitable location for the Center, then you will need to
purchase or lease suitable facilities. We estimate that you require a Franchised
Location with 900 to 1,500 square feet of space, however, other sizes may be
acceptable. These are the estimated costs for constructing and furnishing the
leasehold improvements for the Center, such as counters, tables, storage areas,
carpeting, walls, security features, graphics and electrical. The variations in
costs of leasehold improvements are attributable to various factors, including:
size, configuration and condition of the Franchised Location, construction,
labor and installation costs and geographic location. You may choose to include
a separate mailbox lobby with secure 24-hour access to mailboxes as part of your
leasehold improvements, but we do not require it. If you choose to install a
mailbox lobby, we estimate your costs will increase by $2,500 to $3,000. These
estimates assume an unimproved retail space exists and no demolition or major
construction are necessary. None of these payments are refundable. A breakdown
of some of these estimated costs follows:

                                                       High           Low

Build-Out Program. If we enter into a Build-Out Program Addendum with you, the
costs incurred for build-out of the Center premises and certain leasehold
improvements, equipment, modular furniture, fixtures and signage, described in
the chart, this Note 2 and Note 4, will be paid to us in consideration for our
completion of the Center development. The amounts for these items must be paid
before we commence construction of your Center build-out. Those costs will be
estimated and agreed to by you and us when the Build-Out Program Addendum is
signed. A Development Fee of approximately 17% of the overall cost of the
Build-Out is paid to us in connection with the build-out. The Build-Out Costs
and Development Fee estimated in the Build-Out Schedule will be adjusted upon
completion of the build-out based on the actual costs incurred. Our estimated
Build-Out Costs and Development Fee are within the ranges stated in the chart
above. See Items 5, 8 and 11. The costs of build-out under the build-out
programs offered by our area franchisees also fall within the ranges stated in
the chart above. See Items 5, 8 and 11.

     Note 3: Point of Sale Computer System. This is the cost to purchase the
required computerized POS System on which we have installed the Program and
additional software. See Item 5. This estimate includes the $4,000 license fee
to use the Program, as well as the cost of purchasing one POS System. You must
pay the license fee and hardware cost when you order the POS System. You will
also incur costs of between $400 - $600 if you purchase a multi-machine license
upgrade and between $400 - $600 to purchase an upgrade for an offsite or laptop
computer. We collect these software upgrade fees on behalf of a third party.
These fees are subject to change. You must also pay an annual fee of between
$500 to $600 to ReSource, Inc., the licensor of the Program, to update and
maintain the Program. If you use alternative mailbox software, you will pay an
annual license fee of $150. These fees may increase on an annual basis. None of
these fees are refundable. See Items 5 and 6 for more information regarding the
annual fee to access our e-mail system and contracting with an internet service
provider. See Item 11 for more information regarding the POS System. You must
purchase or lease a thermal printer for printing carrier labels. The low
estimate includes the current cost of leasing a thermal printer and the high
estimate includes the current cost of purchasing a thermal printer.

     Note 4: Equipment. This item includes the estimated equipment costs for a
typical Center. These costs include renting a photocopier for three months,
renting a postage meter for three months and acquiring the required equipment,
including the following: mailboxes, packaging equipment, uniforms and facsimile
equipment. Other items listed are optional. None of these payments are
refundable. A breakdown of these estimated costs follows:

                                                      High            Low

Crating and Freight Center Expenses. If you wish to do so, you may choose to
locate your PAK MAIL Center in a nonretail location, such as a warehouse
district, and specialize in crating, freight, specialty shipping and packaging
services. These services may also be offered from traditional retail Centers. A
Center specializing in crating and freight services does not offer many of the
services offered by retail Centers, such as mailbox rental, public fax machines,
copying and greeting card sales. Your estimated initial expenses in a non-retail
location for furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment for a
Center specializing in crating and freight services range from $22,500 to
$34,100. If your Center specializes in crating and freight services, you will
incur the same expenses estimated above for a POS System, exterior signage,
opening inventory and supplies, the initial franchise fee, deposits, business
licenses, rent, MMBI Fee (defined in Note 5 below) and additional funds for the
first three months.

     Note 5: Marketing Material Beginning Inventory ("MMBI") Fee. The exact
amount payable will be determined by you. All or a portion of the MMBI Fee is
payable to us during your initial training program. The MMBI Fee is only
required to be paid for the first Pak Mail Center opened by you. You will incur
additional advertising expenses in your first year of operation. An allowance
for the advertising expenses for a Center is included under "Additional Funds"
described in Note 6.

                                       15

Note 6: Additional Funds. This estimates your pre-operational expenses, which we
have not listed above, as well as additional funds necessary for the first three
months of your business operations. These figures are estimates and Pak Mail
cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses starting the
business. Your costs depend on factors such as: how much you follow our methods
and procedures; your management skill, experience and business acumen; local
economic conditions; the local market for our products and services; the
prevailing wage rate; competition; and the sales level reached during this
initial period. This item includes a variety of expenses and working capital
items during your start-up phase such as: legal and accounting fees; training
expenses; insurance premiums; advertising, promotional and grand opening
expenses and materials; employee salaries; rent; and other miscellaneous costs.
However, this item excludes your salary. You are responsible for all travel and
living expenses incurred while attending the initial training program.

     Note 7: We relied on our 18 years experience in the industry when preparing
these figures. You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor
before making any decision to purchase a franchise. We do not offer financing
for any items (see Item 10). The availability and terms of financing from
independent third parties depends on factors such as the availability of
financing generally, your credit worthiness, other security and collateral you
may have and policies of lenders.

     Note 8: Conversion Franchises. Conversion Franchisees usually incur the
following costs in addition to their existing operating expenses:

                                                     High              Low

                                                    =======          =======

Depending on the equipment, inventory and other items already in place, a
Conversion Franchisee may incur additional costs similar to the low range stated
in the chart above to upgrade equipment, inventory, color scheme, and other
items to comply with our specifications. You may also incur additional costs
stated in the chart above. The POS System and exterior signage must be
purchased, in place at the Center, and operational within five days after
execution of the Franchise Agreement for your conversion franchise. You or your
Principal Manager must attend, at your cost, the next available initial training
program after execution of the Franchise Agreement for your conversion
franchise.

                                     ITEM 8
                                     ------

                RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

     Your PAK MAIL Center must be established and operated in compliance with
your Franchise Agreement. It is mandatory that you comply with the standards and
specifications contained in an operations manual we provide to you, in the form
of one or more manuals, technical bulletins or other written materials,
including a build-out manual ("Operations Manual"), which we may modify. We
provide you with our standards and specifications for almost all of the services
and products offered at or through your PAK MAIL Center and for the Franchised
Location, equipment, furniture, fixtures, uniforms, supplies, forms, advertising
material and other items used at your PAK MAIL Center.

                                       16

<PAGE>

     Each of our franchisees purchase a POS System through us, loaded with the
Program and additional software. You must license the Program from ReSource,
Inc. The purchase price of the POS System includes the license fee for the
Program. See Items 5, 7 and 11. We derive revenue from the license of the
Program and other software and from the sale of the hardware component of the
POS System. In the fiscal year ended November 30, 2001, we derived revenue of
$370,218, or 8% of our total revenue of $4,507,656, from Program and other
software license fees and computer hardware sales. You are required to pay us an
annual fee to access our web-based electronic mail system. We derive revenue
from the annual electronic mail fees. See Item 6. We estimate that the license
for the Program, the POS System cost and the annual e-mail system fee may range
from approximately 5% to 10% of your total cost of establishing a PAK MAIL
Center and approximately 1% or less of your total cost of operating a PAK MAIL
Center after that time.

     We must approve your lease or sublease ("Lease") for the Franchised
Location of your Center before you sign the Lease. A copy of the signed Lease is
to be delivered to us within 15 days after you sign it. We require that you
collaterally assign the Lease to us as security for your timely performance of
all obligations under the Franchise Agreement and obtain the lessor's consent to
the collateral assignment.

     We require that you purchase or lease your entire requirement of products,
equipment, supplies, and services used, sold or leased through your PAK MAIL
Center only from suppliers approved by us in advance. You may purchase, lease or
sell products, equipment, supplies and services meeting our standards and
specifications from any source approved by us. After you pay your initial
franchise fee, we give you a list of our approved suppliers, the standards and
specifications to be used, sold or leased by you through your PAK MAIL Center,
as well as our criteria for approving a supplier. Some of our Area Developers
and Area Marketers are approved suppliers of their build-out programs (See Items
5, 7 and 11), but we do not receive any revenue from their build-out programs.
Other than the above, we are not affiliated with any approved suppliers.

     We sell certain products, equipment, supplies and services and derive
revenue from such sales. We also negotiate purchase arrangements with suppliers
for the benefit of PAK MAIL franchisees. If you qualify and elect to participate
in our Build-Out Program, we will provide build-out services for the
development, construction and equipping of your Center in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Build-Out Program Addendum. Currently, we have
pricing and distribution arrangements with various suppliers, including
overnight delivery services, suppliers of apparel and printing. However, you
should not rely on the continued availability of any particular pricing or
distribution arrangement, nor the availability of any particular product or
brand in deciding whether to purchase the franchise. In the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2001, we received revenues as a result of franchisee purchases from
approved suppliers of less than 1% of our total revenues of $4,507,656. In the
fiscal year ended November 30, 2001, we received revenue from the sale or lease
of products directly from us to franchisees of $643,639 or 14% of our total
revenues of $4,507,656. See our financial statements in Item 21. We had a
nonrecurring loss on franchisee purchases from us in the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2001. We estimate that the costs of your purchases from designated
or approved sources, or according to our standards and specifications, may range
from 45% to 50% of the total cost of establishing a PAK MAIL Center and
approximately 50% of the total cost of operating a PAK MAIL Center after that
time.

     If you want to purchase or use any products, equipment, supplies, or
services from suppliers we have not approved, you will need to obtain our
approval of the proposed supplier in writing in advance. The notification should
include sufficient specifications or samples to enable us to determine whether
those items and/or suppliers meet our specifications. We will not unreasonably
withhold our approval of a supplier, if the supplier meets our published
standards and specifications. We reserve the right to change our published
standards regarding any approved supplier upon 30 days written notice to all
franchisees.

                                    FINANCING

     Our franchisees are eligible for expedited and streamlined Small Business
Administration ("SBA") loan processing through the SBA's Franchise Registry
Program. See www.franchiseregistry.com.

     If you are an existing franchisee who wants to open a second or third PAK
MAIL Center and if your existing PAK MAIL Center or Centers each have achieved a
minimum of $200,000 in Royalty Based Revenues during the previous 12 months,
then you may submit a written request to us to finance your discounted initial
franchise fee(s). If you qualify and are approved by us, we would finance up to
50% of your discounted initial franchise fee(s) with repayment in 24 equal
monthly installments over a 2 year period, with interest at 8% per annum. You
must sign a promissory note in a form similar to that in Exhibit I to this
Offering Circular. You may prepay the note without penalty. If you are an
entity, the note must be guaranteed by your owners or, if you are an individual,
your spouse must guaranty the note. We may accelerate payment and require you to
pay our attorneys fees and court costs if you default on any installment. You
must secure your obligations under the note by signing a Conditional Assignment
of Franchise Agreement, attached to this Offering Circular in Exhibit I, for
each franchise agreement to which you are a party, agreeing that if you default
under the note, we may terminate all of your franchise agreements. Under the
terms of the note, you must waive presentment for payment, protest and notice of
protest.

     Except as set forth above, neither we nor any agent or affiliate currently
offer, directly or indirectly, any financing arrangements to you, nor do we
guarantee any lease or other obligations for you. We can, however, recommend a
third party lender to you. We do not receive any benefit, monetary or otherwise,
from any recommended lender. We cannot estimate whether you will be able to
obtain financing for any part or all of your investment and, if so, the terms of
the financing, which will depend on your credit worthiness and other
characteristics. We do not have any past or present practice or intention to
sell, assign or discount to any third party, in whole or in part, any note,
contract or other instrument signed by you.

                            FRANCHISOR'S OBLIGATIONS

     Except as listed below, we need not provide any assistance to you.

Pre-Opening Assistance.
----------------------

     Before you open your Center, we will:

     1. Designate your Protected Territory. (Section 3.2 and Exhibit I to
Franchise Agreement).

     2. Assist you in locating the site for your first Center by sending one of
our representatives to your proposed site for up to one day and, if possible,
approving a site during the visit. We require that you locate the site within 90
days of signing the Franchise Agreement. We must approve of the proposed site.
We may also assist you with lease negotiations for your proposed site by
supplying you with suggested lease provisions. No contractual limit exists on
the time it takes us to approve or disapprove your proposed site. However, we
typically take no more than five days to approve or disapprove your site.
(Section 3.1 of Franchise Agreement).

     3. Furnish you with our standards and specifications for your Center's
signs, color, decor, equipment, machines and uniforms. We must approve of your
construction plans and specifications before construction begins. (Sections 5.3,
5.4 and 5.5 of Franchise Agreement). Alternatively, we will provide Build-Out
services for you, as described below.

     4. After signing the Lease for the Center and before the Center's opening,
we furnish an initial training program described below. (Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of
Franchise Agreement).

     5. Loan you one copy of our confidential and proprietary Operations Manual,
covering the specifications, standards, and operating procedures that we require
and information about your obligations. (Section 8.1 of Franchise Agreement.)

     If you qualify and elect to participate in our Build-Out Program, before
you open your Center, we will, subject to the terms of the Build-Out Program
Addendum:

     6. Procure suitable plans and specifications conforming to our requirements
for dimensions, exterior design, materials, interior design, layout, electrical
power, signs, counters, equipment and decorating for the Center, in compliance
with applicable ordinances, building codes, permit requirements and lease
requirements and restrictions. (Section 1.a, Build-Out Program Addendum.)

     7. Obtain required construction-related permits and licenses. (Section 1.b,
Build-Out Program Addendum.)

     8. Procure fixtures, materials, equipment, modular furniture, counters and
other materials required for construction of the Center. (Section 1.c, Build-Out
Program Addendum.)

     9. Secure contractors and subcontractors to construct improvements and
install equipment and fixtures in the Center. (Section 1.d, Build-Out Program
Addendum.)

                                       20

<PAGE>

     10. Complete the construction of required improvements to the Center
premises and decorate the premises in compliance with the plans and
specifications, and deliver the completed Center to you. (Section 1.e, Build-Out
Program Addendum.)

     11. Furnish and install the required signage for the Center, if you request
it on the Build-Out Schedule attached to the Build-Out Program Addendum.
(Section 1.f, Build-Out Program Addendum.)

     12. Furnish and install certain optional equipment listed on the Build-Out
Schedule, attached to the Build-Out Program Addendum, if you request it.
(Section 1.g, Build-Out Program Addendum.)

Continuing Assistance.
---------------------

     During the operation of your Center, we:

     1. Assist you in selecting the appropriate type of marketing materials and
the timing for implementing a grand opening advertising campaign. In addition,
we assist you in determining the media, timing and placement for your Center's
ongoing marketing program. We also supply you periodically with direct mail
advertising materials to further your marketing efforts. (Section 9.1 of
Franchise Agreement).

     2. Periodically make available continuing education courses on new methods,
equipment and services. (Section 6.3 of Franchise Agreement).

     3. Advise you about any operating problems of the Center which we observe
and make recommendations for improvement with respect to (1) the methods,
standards and procedures utilized by PAK MAIL Centers, (2) required fixtures,
equipment, signs, materials and supplies, (3) advertising and promotional
programs, (4) merchandising services, and (5) administrative, bookkeeping,
accounting and general operating and management procedures. (Article 9 and
Section 13.2 of Franchise Agreement).

Advertising and Promotion.
-------------------------

     We provide marketing materials to assist in advertising your first PAK MAIL
Center, which will cost you approximately $550 to $1,000. The marketing program
includes printed advertisements and marketing materials to distribute locally,
as well as our assistance in creating the marketing program. We provide
marketing assistance on an on-going basis.

     Your Advertising Contribution of 2% of Royalty Based Revenue is payable to
us within 10 days following the end of each calendar month, based on the amount
of Royalty Based Revenue in the previous month. We deposit the Advertising Fee
in a separate bank, commercial account or savings account ("Advertising Fund").
All company-owned Centers, if any, pay into the Advertising Fund on an equal
percentage basis with all newly franchised Centers. Some existing franchisees
with older contracts contribute to the Advertising Fund at a different rate. If
you request it, we will send you a quarterly unaudited financial statement for
the Advertising Fund which indicates how the Advertising Fund has been spent
during the previous quarter. Because we do not have the Fund audited, audited
financial statements are not available to franchisees.

     We administer the Advertising Fund in our sole discretion. We use the
Advertising Fund for the creation, production or placement of commercial
advertising, agency costs and commissions, creation and production of video,
audio or written advertisements, administering multi-regional advertising
programs, including direct mail and other media advertising and employing
advertising agencies and in-house staff assistance, supporting public relations,
market research and other advertising and marketing activities. We do not spend
the Fund's money on soliciting franchisees.

                                       21

<PAGE>

     We may reimburse ourselves from the Advertising Fund for administrative
costs, salaries and overhead expenses related to the administration of the
Advertising Fund and its marketing programs, including conducting market
research, preparing material, collecting and accounting for Advertising Fund
contributions and all costs and expenses related to the Advisory Council
discussed below. In any fiscal year we may spend an amount greater or less than
the aggregate contribution of all PAK MAIL Centers to the Advertising Fund in
that year. The Advertising Fund may borrow from us or other lenders to cover
deficits or cause the Advertising Fund to invest any surplus for future use. Any
amounts remaining in the Advertising Fund at the end of each year accrue and we
apply them toward the next year's expenses. We do not guarantee that advertising
expenditures from the Advertising Fund will benefit you or any other franchisee
directly or on a pro rata basis. The Advertising Fund is not a trust fund, and
we do not owe a fiduciary duty to you with respect to the maintenance,
direction, or administration of the Advertising Fund. We assume no other direct
or indirect liability or obligation to you for collecting amounts due to any
advertising account or for maintaining, directing or administering any
advertising account.

     We use outside advertising agencies and personnel and in-house personnel to
create national advertising, including ad slicks, radio and television spots and
other marketing pieces and programs and we may purchase and place national
advertising. In the past, these have consisted of print ads in national
publications, advertisements on national on-line systems and national public
relations campaigns and television. With the exception of yellow pages
advertising, you must purchase local advertising separately through local
marketing and media sources within a geographical area. We arrange yellow pages
advertising for all Centers through a national agency and a portion of this cost
is paid with money from the Advertising Fund. With this one exception, local
advertising is your responsibility.

     You may create your own advertising and promotion materials; however, all
advertising and promotion by you must be in such media and of such type and
format as we approve, must be conducted in a dignified manner and must conform
to our standards and requirements. You may not use any advertising or
promotional plans or materials unless and until you have received written
approval from us.

     In our most recent fiscal year, we spent 24% of the Fund's proceeds on
production, 12% on website creation, advertising and maintenance, 40% on media
placement, 7% on administrative expenses, and 17% on other expenses (which
includes creative, public relations, advisory council expenses, promotional
items and freight costs).

Regional Advertising Association.
--------------------------------

     We may, upon 30 days written notice to you, create a regional advertising
association ("Association") in the market area where you are located, at which
time you will be required to become a member of the Association. In our sole
discretion, we may reallocate up to one-half of the Advertising Fund payments
received by us from franchisees in the Association located in your market area
for regional marketing and advertising programs. If you fail to participate in
the Association or pay any Association dues, this constitutes a material breach
under the Franchise Agreement. Each Association has the right, by majority vote,
to require its members to make additional contributions to the Association
monthly in an amount not greater than two percent of the Royalty Based Revenues
of the member's Center. We must approve all advertising materials before they
are used by an Association or furnished to its members. Each Association must
prepare unaudited annual financial statements and send them to you if you
request them. An Association would be formed by franchisees. We have the right
to determine the scope of the geographical areas included in each Association.
We can change and dissolve the Association. An Association would be required to
operate under a written document which franchisees could view. Either we or the
Association may create the Association's advertising, but advertising created by
the Association must have our written approval before use.

                                       22

<PAGE>

     See Items 6, 8 and 9 of this Offering Circular for more discussion of
advertising.

Franchise System Advisory Council.
---------------------------------

     Although the Franchise Agreement does not obligate us to, we sponsor a
franchisee organization called the "Pak Mail Franchise System Advisory Council"
("Advisory Council"). The Advisory Council is composed of franchisees who are
elected by other franchisees to represent their peers from designated regions
throughout the country. Council members review and discuss our advertising and
marketing programs. They communicate franchisee concerns to us about the
development and growth of the System. The Advisory Council meets three times a
year. We have the authority to change or dissolve the Advisory Council.

Operations Manual.
-----------------

     Attached to this Offering Circular as Exhibit G is the table of contents of
each volume that together comprise our Operations Manual showing the contents
and number of pages in each section. The total number of pages in our Operations
Manual is currently over 1,000.

Point of Sale Computer System.
-----------------------------

     We require that you use an electronic point of sale computer system ("POS
System") which you must purchase through us. The POS System provides you with
detailed information necessary to prepare financial statements. This POS System
permits us to receive information concerning your Center's sales. We have no
contractual limitation on our right to receive information through the POS
System. You will need to contract with an internet service provider to connect
you with our web-based e-mail system that allows us to communicate with all Pak
Mail franchisees. You will also pay us an annual fee for the e-mail network. In
addition, you will need to maintain an internet connection directly to your POS
System for Program updates and revisions and to provide us with information
directly from your POS System. We recommend that you obtain a high-speed
internet connection which is compatible with the carrier requirements for
updates and revisions to the Program. See Items 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

     As of the date of this Offering Circular, the POS System consists of 1GHZ
or better processor with 256 MB RAM, 20.4GB hard disk drive, Nic card, 1.44 M
floppy drive, 52X CD Rom drive, 56K modem, a monitor with touch screen, a
keyboard with built-in credit card processing, a mouse, additional LPT ports,
100MB zip drive, a cash drawer, a receipt printer, HP color inkjet report
printer, an electronic scale, power interruption and surge protection for the
computer monitor, modem and scale. The POS System also includes the following
pre-loaded software: Microsoft Windows 98, the Program, PC Anywhere, IC Verify
Credit Card Processing (single version) and UPS Worldship. If you have a second
personal computer at your Center which operates the Program, you must purchase
and install a networking kit and otherwise comply with our standards and
specifications for hardware and software. You must also buy accounting software
of your choice and buy or lease a thermal printer which meets the specifications
for printing carrier labels. We may require you to upgrade or update your POS
System. No contractual limitation exists on the frequency or cost of this
obligation.

     The Program is a proprietary software package licensed to you by ReSource,
Inc., 9250 East Costilla Avenue, Suite 235, Englewood, Colorado 80112,
303-708-1788. Earlier versions of the Program have been in continuous use by
certain of our franchisees since 1987. You are required to update and maintain

                                       23

<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

the Program through ReSource, Inc. The current annual cost to update and
maintain the Program is $500 to $600. If you use the alternative mailbox
software, the annual license fee is $150.

     The hardware component of the POS System is described above. The Program
can provide custom packaging estimation, track and report shipments of
customer's packages, provide accounting and marketing information, provide
carrier pricing shells, create reports and support the mailbox function.

Site Selection and Lease Negotiation Assistance.
-----------------------------------------------

     You will select and acquire the location for your Center. When you have
selected a proposed location for your Center you will need to submit information
to us regarding the proposed location so that we may evaluate it to determine
whether it meets our criteria. This information may include demographic and
local traffic pattern statistics, all of which are important factors in our
determination of a satisfactory Center location. After you have submitted the
required information to us, we will send one of our representatives to evaluate
your proposed location in person and, if possible, to approve the location
during the visit. Our assistance with the selection and approval of a location
also includes suggested lease terms to assist you in negotiating your lease. Our
acceptance of a location does not infer or guarantee the success or
profitability of a Center at that location.

Schedule For Opening.
--------------------

     We estimate that the typical length of time between the date you sign the
Franchise Agreement and the date your Center opens will be approximately 90 to
120 days. The factors which may affect this time period are your ability to
locate a site, secure financing, and obtain a lease, as well as the extent to
which an existing location must be upgraded or remodeled, the delivery schedule
for equipment and supplies, and completing your training.

Training Program.
----------------

     Within 90 days before the opening of your Center, you are required to
attend and complete to our satisfaction the initial training program. We do not
charge you for this training, although you are responsible for all travel,
living expenses and wages for you and your employees who attend the training
session. We conduct all training at our corporate headquarters in Englewood,
Colorado. The training material consists of written, video and audiotaped
instruction. As of our most recent fiscal year end, we provided the following
initial training to franchisees.

                                    TERRITORY

     You may operate your Center and use the Marks and the System only at the
Franchised Location approved by us. We base our approval of your proposed
Franchised Location on a variety of factors including the viability of the
location and demographics (including number of households, household income,
number of licensed drivers and number of businesses) of the proposed Franchised
Location. We may not operate or grant any franchises for the operation of other
PAK MAIL Centers within a specified area (typically identified by the
designation of street boundaries) encompassing your Center ("Protected
Territory"). An exhibit to your Franchise Agreement specifies your Protected
Territory. You may advertise your PAK MAIL Center within or outside of your
Protected Territory, and you may serve all customers who enter your PAK MAIL

Center. Continuation of your Protected Territory does not depend on the
achievement of any specified sales volume, market penetration or other
contingency. You may not change the location of your Franchised Location or the
boundaries of your Protected Territory without our written consent before making
the change. You have no option, right of first refusal or similar contractual
right to acquire additional PAK MAIL Center franchises within your Protected
Territory, but we may contract to give you an option to acquire additional
franchises in contiguous areas.

     We do not currently franchise or license any businesses selling any
products or services the same as or similar to those offered at PAK MAIL
Centers, although we may elect to do so in the future. We retain the rights,
among others: (1) to use, and to license others to use, the Marks and System in
connection with the operation of a PAK MAIL Center, at any location other than
in your Protected Territory; (2) to use the Marks to identify services and
products other than those which you sell, to identify promotional and marketing
efforts and related items, and to identify services and products similar to
those which you sell, made available through alternative channels of
distribution, at any location; and (3) to use and license the use of other
proprietary marks or methods in connection with the sale of products and
services similar to those which you will sell, whether in alternative channels
of distribution or in connection with the operation of packaging and mailing
businesses, which businesses are the same as, or similar to, or different from
PAK MAIL Centers, (for example, if we acquire another packaging system which
uses a different name or trademark), on any terms and conditions as we
determine. We have no present plans to establish other related franchises or
company-owned businesses selling similar products or services under a different
name or trademark.

                                   TRADEMARKS

     We grant you the right to use the Marks, including the trademark and
service mark "PAK MAIL" (and design) and other trademarks, service marks and
commercial symbols that we may authorize. We have registered the following
principal trademarks on the Principal Register of the United States Patent and
Trademark Office ("USPTO"):

====================== ====================  ======================

All required affidavits of use and renewals of registration have been filed.

     The Marks are used as the sole identification of a PAK MAIL Center. You
must use the Marks as the sole service marks identifying your Center. We require
that you identify yourself as the independent owner of the Center, in the manner
we specify. You may not use any Mark as part of any corporate or trade name or
with any prefix, suffix, or other modifying words, terms, designs or symbols
(other than logos licensed to you), or in any modified form, nor may you use any
Mark to identify unauthorized services or products or in any other manner not
expressly authorized in writing by us. You will be required to modify or
discontinue your use of a Mark if we require modification or discontinuance of
it, at your own expense.

                                       26

<PAGE>

     Any apparent infringement of or challenge to your use of any Mark should be
brought to our attention immediately and you may not communicate with any person
other than us or our counsel regarding any such matter. You may not settle any
claim without our written consent. We have sole discretion to take any
appropriate action. We have the right to control exclusively any litigation,
USPTO proceeding or any other administrative proceeding arising out of any
infringement, challenge or claim relating to any Mark. There are no presently
effective determinations of the USPTO, the trademark trial and appeal board, the
trademark administrator of any state or any court, any pending infringement,
opposition or cancellation proceedings or material litigation involving the
Marks.

     We do not know of any infringing uses that could materially affect your use
of the Marks in any state, although we are aware of a number of other entities
using variations of the words "Pack" and/or "Mail" to identify packaging or
mailing services. The Franchise Agreement does not obligate us to protect you
against claims of infringement or unfair competition with respect to your use of
the Marks, but it is our policy to do so when, in the opinion of our counsel,
your rights require protection. We pay all costs, including attorneys' fees and
court costs, associated with any litigation we commence or defend on your behalf
to protect the Marks and your right to use them. You must cooperate with us in
any litigation.

                 PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

     Although we have not obtained a copyright registration, we own the
copyright in our Operations Manual, training materials, advertising materials
and other works.

     No patents are material to the franchise.

     We consider our Operations Manual and all related materials as our
proprietary and confidential property. They may be used by you only as described
in the Franchise Agreement. We require that you maintain the confidentiality of
our information and adopt reasonable procedures to prevent unauthorized
disclosure of these secrets and information.

                     OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTUAL
                       OPERATION OF THE FRANCHISE BUSINESS

     You are not required to participate personally in the direct operation of
your Center. If you (or your managing partner or shareholder) do not participate
in the day-to-day operation of the Center, you will need to designate a manager
("Principal Operator") to be responsible for the direct on-premises supervision
of the PAK MAIL Center at all times during its hours of operation. If you are a
corporation, limited liability company or partnership, we do not require that
your Principal Operator own an equity interest in the entity. You or, if
applicable, the Principal Operator, must successfully complete our mandatory
initial training program for a PAK MAIL Center. You and your managers, including
your Principal Operator, must enter into a confidentiality and noncompetition
agreement with us (Exhibit H to this Offering Circular). We make no
recommendations and have no requirements regarding employment or other written
agreements between you and your employees.

                  RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT THE FRANCHISEE MAY SELL

     You may sell only those products and services approved by us and may not
use the Center or the Franchised Location for any purposes other than the
operation of a PAK MAIL Center. You will be obligated to sell the products and
services approved by Pak Mail, but you may sell certain additional products and
services approved by us, at your option. We have the right to change or
supplement the types of authorized products and services, and there are no
limits on our right to do so. Other than the above, there are no restrictions on
goods or services offered by you or on the customers to whom you may sell.

                                 PUBLIC FIGURES

     There is no compensation or other benefit given or promised to any public
figure arising from either the use of the public figure in the name or symbol of
the franchise or the endorsement or recommendation of the franchise by the
public figure in advertisements. There are no public figures involved in our
management.

     The Franchise Agreement does not prohibit you from using the name of a
public figure or celebrity in your promotional efforts or advertising; however,
all advertising requires our approval.

                                EXPLANATORY NOTES
        (Containing Summary of Factual Data and Significant Assumptions)

     1. The data set forth above represents the reported gross sales of 279
franchised PAK MAIL Centers that were in operation at least two years before the
reporting period of December 1, 2000 through November 30, 2001.

     2. Aside from geographical and demographic differences and managerial
emphasis, there are no material differences in the products, services, training
or support offered to any franchisee. Differences in sales volumes are
attributable to the amount of time a PAK MAIL Center has been open, geographical
and demographic differences, and a franchisee's ability and willingness to
follow system guidelines.

     3. The sales of products and services by franchised PAK MAIL Centers
include those which reflect higher revenue margins such as freight, business
services, custom packaging, etc. and those which reflect little or no revenue
margins such as postage stamp sales. The mix of products and services varies at
the discretion of each franchisee.

     4. The above information was prepared from royalty reports provided by each
individual franchisee. A franchisee pays us a royalty based on sales. However,
we know of no instance, and have no reason to believe, that any franchisee would
overstate its level of sales receipts in its royalty report.

     5. This information represents aggregate results of sales reported to us
and should not be considered the actual or probable sales which will be achieved
by any individual franchisee. We do not represent that any prospective
franchisee can expect to attain these results. A franchisee's results are likely
to be lower in its first year of business. We recommend that the prospective
franchisee make his or her own independent investigation to determine whether or
not a franchise may be profitable. We further recommend that prospective
franchisees consult with professional advisors before executing any agreement.

     6. Actual results may vary from franchise to franchise and depend on a
variety of internal and external factors, many of which neither we nor any
prospective franchisee can estimate, such as competition, economic climate,
demographics, changing consumer demands, etc. A franchisee's ability to achieve
any level of gross sales or net income will depend on these factors and others,
including the franchisee's level of expertise, none of which are within our
control. Accordingly, we cannot, and do not, estimate the results of any
particular franchise.

     Substantiation for this data will be made available for inspection at our
headquarters and will be provided to all prospective franchisees upon request.

     EXCEPT FOR THE INFORMATION IN THIS ITEM, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR STATEMENTS
OF ACTUAL, AVERAGE, PROJECTED, FORECASTED OR POTENTIAL SALES, COSTS, INCOME OR
PROFITS ARE MADE TO FRANCHISEES BY US. WE DO NOT FURNISH OR MAKE, OR AUTHORIZE
OUR SALES PERSONNEL TO FURNISH OR MAKE, ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE ACTUAL, AVERAGE, PROJECTED, FORECASTED OR POTENTIAL SALES, COSTS,
INCOME OR PROFITS OF A FRANCHISE OR PROSPECTS OR CHANCES OF SUCCESS THAT ANY
FRANCHISEE CAN EXPECT OR THAT PRESENT OR PAST FRANCHISEES HAVE HAD, OTHER THAN
AS SET FORTH IN THIS ITEM. WE DISCLAIM AND WILL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY UNAUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIONS.

     Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc., a Colorado corporation, is offering
franchises to "Area Marketers," giving them the right to market PAK MAIL Center
franchises and to provide services to existing Pak Mail franchisees within a
specific territory. The initial fee is calculated by multiplying the projected
number of Centers in the Territory by $3,000. The total estimated initial
investment for a Pak Mail Area Marketer franchise, including the initial fee,
ranges from $26,965 to $326,565.

     Risk Factors:

          1.   THE AREA MARKETING AGREEMENT PERMITS THE AREA MARKETER TO SUE US
               ONLY IN COLORADO. OUT OF STATE LITIGATION MAY FORCE YOU TO ACCEPT
               A LESS FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT. IT MAY ALSO COST YOU MORE TO SUE US
               IN COLORADO THAN IN YOUR HOME STATE.

          2.   THE AREA MARKETING AGREEMENT STATES THAT COLORADO LAW GOVERNS THE
               AGREEMENT, AND THIS LAW MAY NOT PROVIDE THE SAME PROTECTION AND
               BENEFITS AS LOCAL LAW. YOU MAY WANT TO COMPARE THESE LAWS.

          3.   THERE MAY BE OTHER RISKS CONCERNING THIS FRANCHISE.

     Information comparing franchisors is available. Call the state
administrators listed in Exhibit A or your public library for sources of
information.

     Registration of this franchise by a state does not mean that the state
recommends it or has verified the information in this Offering Circular. If you
learn that anything in this Offering Circular is untrue, contact the Federal
Trade Commission and the state authority listed in Exhibit A.

                 THE FRANCHISOR, ITS PREDECESSORS AND AFFILIATES

The Franchisor.
--------------

     The name of the franchisor is Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc. For ease of
reference, Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc. will be referred to as "we," "us"
or "Pak Mail" in this Offering Circular. We will refer to the person who buys
the franchise as "you" throughout this Offering Circular. If the franchisee is a
corporation, partnership or limited liability company, certain provisions of the
Area Marketing Agreement also apply to the owners as noted in the Area Marketing
Agreement. Pak Mail's principal offices are located at 7173 South Havana Street,
Suite 600, Englewood, Colorado 80112. We presently do business under the name
"Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc." and "Pak Mail." We were formed on January
27, 1984, as a Colorado corporation. We have no predecessors or affiliates. Our
agents for service of process are listed on Exhibit A.

Our Business.
------------

     We currently operate and franchise the operation of stores, known as "PAK
MAIL Centers," offering a variety of packaging, shipping, mailing,
communications and information products and services to residential and
commercial customers. PAK MAIL Centers utilize the services of both the U.S.
Postal Service and private carriers, and offer the following services: parcel
and freight shipping; custom packaging and crating; freight forwarding;
residential and office moving; package receiving; priority through parcel post
mail service; coverage against loss and breakage; electronic commerce; facsimile
transmissions; notary public services; money orders; photocopying; passport and
identification photos; laminating; custom printing; custom rubber stamps; key
making; and the sales of packaging materials, office supplies, greeting cards,
gift wrapping and other items and materials which we approve. Not all Centers
offer all of these services and products. Sales of each of these products and
services as a percentage of total sales will vary from Center to Center.

     PAK MAIL Centers operate under our distinctive business format, systems,
methods, procedures, designs, layouts and specifications ("Licensed Methods").
We franchise the operation of PAK MAIL Centers under our trade and service mark
"PAK MAIL" and other logos, trademarks, service marks and commercial symbols
("Marks").

     We offer "Area Marketer" franchises to qualified persons ("Area Marketers")
who market franchises for PAK MAIL Centers and provide services to existing
franchisees within a specific area.

     We also sell master licenses for certain geographic areas outside of the
United States. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we had master licensees
in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Master
licensees typically are required to develop between 10 and 50 Centers in a large
geographic area over a number of years. Master licensees sign a Master License
Agreement not included in this Offering Circular.

The Franchise.
-------------

     When you sign our Area Marketing Agreement ("Marketing Agreement"), which
is Exhibit B to this Offering Circular, you will receive the right to use our
Marks and Licensed Methods in the operation of your business ("Business")
enabling you to market Pak Mail franchises and provide certain assistance and
support to PAK MAIL Centers within a specified geographic area ("Territory"). We
will not award you an Area Marketer franchise unless you have experience in
sales and marketing and a minimum net worth of approximately $200,000. We only
offer area franchises in certain geographic areas not covered by other Area
Marketers. We may market in certain areas ourselves.

<PAGE>

     As an Area Marketer, you will be required to sell a certain number of Pak
Mail franchises during the term of the Marketing Agreement. In return for the
sale of these franchises, we pay you 40% of the initial franchise fee paid to us
by the Pak Mail franchisee when the franchisee completes the initial training
program. You may only sell franchises for PAK MAIL Centers which are located in
your Territory. We may solicit prospective franchisees for PAK MAIL Centers to
be located in your Territory.

     You will be obligated to provide certain services to Pak Mail franchisees
who are located within your Territory, including site selection and other
pre-opening services and certain continuing assistance in operations. Article 9
of the Marketing Agreement describes your duties. We will pay you Service Fees,
as defined in Item 11 of this Offering Circular, out of the royalties paid to us
by Pak Mail franchisees in your Territory, so long as you conduct the required
inspections, file written reports and perform all other required services for
each Pak Mail franchisee in your Territory during the applicable time period.
See Item 9.

Other Franchise Rights Offered.
------------------------------

     We also offer and sell to qualified persons single-unit franchises to own
and operate PAK MAIL Centers according to the Licensed Methods and the terms of
the Franchise Agreement ("Franchise Agreement"), a copy of which is attached to
this Offering Circular as Exhibit C. We offer single-unit franchises under a
separate Offering Circular.

Regulations.
-----------

     Both the Federal Trade Commission and many states regulate the sale of
franchises and the relationship between franchisees and franchisors. You will be
responsible for complying with the Federal Trade Commission's Rule on
franchising and all applicable state laws and regulations when you offer PAK
MAIL Center franchises for sale and when you assist franchisees. You will be
responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
We supply you with Offering Circulars for disclosing information about PAK MAIL
Center franchises to prospective franchisees who reside in the states in your
Territory. If state laws require you to use a separate Offering Circular
specific to you and your Business, we will supply you with a registered Offering
Circular. If this happens, you will be obligated to reimburse us for the
expenses we incur in producing the Offering Circular and complying with laws
specific to your Territory. You will be responsible for complying with
employment, worker's compensation, insurance, corporate, taxing, licensing and
similar laws and regulations of a more general nature applicable to most
businesses.

Market and Competition.
----------------------

     PAK MAIL Centers offer a wide variety of packaging, shipping, mailing,
private mailbox rental and business support services to both commercial and
residential customers in a location intended to be convenient to the consumer.
Commercial customers may use a PAK MAIL Center as a source for some or all of
their packaging and shipping needs, sometimes in lieu of having and supporting
their own mailing room. Often a commercial customer may have their own shipping
room, yet not have access to crating services or comprehensive freight
insurance. Residential customers may save the time and expense of making
multiple trips to different locations to mail, ship, copy and fax by obtaining
all of these services at a PAK MAIL Center. Home-based businesses may utilize a
PAK MAIL Center as their office away from their office at home. Finally, some
customers may not otherwise have easy access to a service that will pack and
ship very small, very fragile, very heavy or very large items to domestic and
international destinations.

                                       2

<PAGE>

     You will compete with other persons and companies selling franchises,
including other franchisors, independent franchise brokers and our licensing
managers. You will be responsible for screening prospective franchisees who then
must be approved by us. The market for franchises may include persons generally
interested in buying a franchise and persons specifically interested in a
packaging and mailing business.

     The competition for owners and operators of a PAK MAIL Center will include
postal and package delivery carriers and a growing number of businesses offering
packaging and mailing services and products. The market for the services and
products which PAK MAIL Centers offer is developing rapidly, changing constantly
and becoming increasingly competitive. Owners and operators of a PAK MAIL Center
will compete, directly and indirectly, with freight and mail carriers, mail
service centers (including nationally franchised chains), custom packaging
services and related businesses.

Our Prior Business Experience.
-----------------------------

     As a franchisor, we have 18 years of experience and know-how in the
operation of PAK MAIL Centers. We have impacted the growth and development of
the packaging, shipping and business support franchise industry through our
research and development of computerized operating systems, accounting and
business management software, crating and freight services, regional and
national training programs, database management and marketing, customer
retention programs, state of the art packaging and computer labs, detailed
step-by-step manuals for operating a PAK MAIL Center, electronic commerce
partnerships, an annual marketing plan and calendar and an emphasis on marketing
to and servicing commercial customers.

     We currently do not operate any PAK MAIL Centers. We have operated PAK MAIL
Centers in the past. Since our formation, we have offered single-unit and
multi-unit franchises for PAK MAIL Centers. We have also entered into agreements
with Area Marketers to act as our representatives to sell PAK MAIL Center
franchises and perform some of our obligations under franchise agreements in
designated geographic areas. We may delegate the performance of some of our
obligations and duties under our franchise agreements to Area Marketers.

     We began an area franchise program in January 1984. The terms and
conditions of agreements with our Area Marketers and their rights and duties
have changed periodically since we began the program in 1984. During fiscal year
1994, we changed the emphasis of our area program by introducing the concept of
"Area Marketers."

     We have not offered franchises in any other line of business.

Explanatory Notes
-----------------

     Note 1: Initial Marketing Fee. The variation in the Marketing Fee depends
on the size, demographics and other characteristics of the Territory you
purchase. See Item 5. In certain instances, we may accept a promissory note from
you for payment of a portion of the Marketing Fee. See Item 10.

                                       11

     Note 2: Furniture, Fixtures and Leasehold Improvements. You are responsible
for obtaining an office suitable to conduct your Business. If you are an
existing PAK MAIL Center franchisee, you may conduct the Business from your PAK
MAIL Center. The low range assumes that you own suitable business or office
space, including fixtures and office furniture, to conduct the Business. If you
do not already own or lease a suitable location for the Business, then you will
need to purchase or lease suitable facilities. We estimate that you will need
between 300 to 500 square feet of office space, preferably in a PAK MAIL Center
located in a strip shopping center.

     Note 3: Office Equipment, Internet Connection and Supplies. We require you
to have access to a computer with the ability to connect with the internet so
that you can access our web-based e-mail system, but you are not currently
required to purchase a computer. This item includes our annual fee to access our
web-based electronic mail system. In addition, you must maintain a dedicated
telephone line with an answering machine, a photocopier, facsimile and other
office equipment.

     Note 4: Initial Advertising Budget. You will be obligated to spend at least
$.001 per person in your Territory each quarter for advertising based on the
adjusted population estimate. See Item 11. We may not increase this amount over
the term of the Marketing Agreement.

     Note 5: Additional Funds. This estimates your pre-operational expenses not
listed above, as well as additional funds needed for the first three months of
your business operations. These figures are estimates and we cannot guarantee
that you will not have additional expenses starting the business. Your costs
will depend on factors such as: how much you follow our methods and procedures;
your management skill; experience and business acumen; local economic
conditions; the local market for our products and services; the prevailing wage
rate; competition; and the sales level reached during this initial period. This
item includes a variety of expenses and working capital items during your
start-up phase such as: rent; supplies; costs to rent a photocopier, facsimile
machine and other office equipment; legal and accounting fees; training
expenses; insurance premiums; employee salaries; and other miscellaneous costs.
However, this item excludes your salary. You are responsible for all travel and
living expenses incurred when you attend the initial training program.

     Note 6: Total Initial Investment. We relied on our 18 years experience in
the industry when preparing these figures. You should review these figures
carefully with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase a
franchise. We may allow you to pay up to 50% of the Marketing Fee in
installments by signing a promissory note ("Note"), with the remainder paid in
cash when you sign the Marketing Agreement. The interest rate on the Note will
not exceed five points over the prime rate of Bank of America on the date you
sign the Note (see Item 10). The availability and terms of financing from
independent third parties will depend on factors such as the availability of
financing generally, your creditworthiness, other security and collateral you
may have and policies of lenders.

                                     ------

                RESTRICTIONS ON SOURCES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

     Your Business must be established and operated in compliance with your
Marketing Agreement. It is mandatory that you comply with the standards and
specifications contained in an operations manual we provide to you in the form
of one or more manuals, technical bulletins or other written materials ("System
Manual"), which we may modify.

     You may not offer or sell any services through the Business which we have
not authorized. If you want to offer or sell any services other than those
previously approved by us, you need to notify us in writing of the proposed

                                       12

<PAGE>

services and obtain our approval in advance. Your notification to us must
include submitting sufficient information so that we can determine whether the
proposed services meet our specifications. We notify you in writing within a
reasonable time whether such services meet our specifications. We may withhold
our approval of any new service for any reason.

     You are required to pay us an annual fee to access our web-based electronic
mail system. We derive revenue from the annual electronic mail fee. See Item 6.
We require you to use only written materials, franchise agreements, franchise
disclosure documents and sales materials, advertising, electronic disclosure
documents, electronic marketing materials, training manuals and supplies which
comply with our standards and specifications and which are obtained through
suppliers approved by us. We are an approved supplier of all of these items.
Currently, we are the only approved supplier of franchise agreements, franchise
disclosure documents, electronic disclosure documents, electronic marketing
materials, advertising and training manuals. We do not charge you for these
materials, but we charge you for the cost of shipping them to you. We estimate
that the annual fee for the electronic mail system and the cost of supplies
purchased in accordance with our standards and specifications represents less
than 1% to 2% of your total purchases in connection with the establishment of
your Business and 1% to 3% of your overall purchases in operating your Business.
You will be required to stop using and distributing franchise agreements,
franchise disclosure documents, advertising and training manuals immediately on
notice from us if we determine that these items do not comply with applicable
laws regulating their use. We may modify our standards and specifications with
30 days notice to you. We do not maintain a list of approved suppliers and we do
not maintain criteria for approving suppliers. Any supplier who can provide
materials or supplies meeting our requirements are, in effect, approved
suppliers. We typically take 5 business days to approve or disapprove a supplier
of the above materials.

     We have no purchasing or distribution cooperatives. Periodically, we
negotiate purchase arrangements with suppliers for your benefit, although we are
not obligated to do so. Currently we have pricing and distribution arrangements
with various suppliers, including suppliers of apparel and printing. However,
you should not rely on the continued availability of any particular pricing or
distribution agreement, nor the availability of any particular product or brand
in deciding whether to become an Area Marketer. We are not paid by third parties
from whom you buy items, although we reserve the right to receive payment in the
future. We do not provide extra material benefits to Area Marketers based on
their use of designated or approved sources or suppliers.

                                    FINANCING

     If you qualify, we may accept a Note from you for payment of not more than
50% of the Marketing Fee. Payments of principal and interest due under the Note
will be payable annually over a period of not more than five years. The interest
rate on the Note will not exceed five points over the prime rate of Bank of
America on the date you sign the Note. The Note may be prepaid without penalty.
The Note will be secured by a Conditional Assignment of Area Marketing
Agreement. The form of Note and the Conditional Assignment of Area Marketing
Agreement are attached to this Offering Circular as Exhibit G. We will not
require persons other than you to guarantee the Note. If you do not pay on time,

                                       14
</TABLE>

<PAGE>

we can call the loan and demand immediate payment of the entire remaining
balance, plus default interest, and obtain all costs and expenses of collection,
including reasonable attorneys' fees. The Note contains a waiver of presentment
for payment, protest and notice of protest. In addition, the Conditional
Assignment provides that if you default on the Note, we will obtain, without
notice or the bringing of a court action, your interest in the Marketing
Agreement.

     Other than the above, neither we nor any agent or affiliate currently
offer, directly or indirectly, any financing arrangements to you. We do not
currently place financing with anyone and therefore do not receive any payment
for placement of financing. We are unable to estimate whether you will be able
to obtain financing for any part or all of your investment and, if so, the terms
of such financing, which will depend on your credit worthiness and other
characteristics. We do not have any past or present practice of or intention to
sell, assign or discount to any third party, in whole or in part, any note,
contract or other instrument signed by you.

                            FRANCHISOR'S OBLIGATIONS

     Except as listed below, we need not provide any assistance to you.

Pre-Opening Assistance.
----------------------

     Before you open your Business, we will:

     1. Designate your Territory. (Section 2.1 and Exhibit I to Marketing
Agreement.)

     2. Prepare and file any disclosure or other documents related to the offer
and sale of Pak Mail franchises. You will be responsible for complying with any
applicable laws or regulations affecting the offer and sale of franchises by
your employees, agents and/or other representatives under your control.
(Sections 4.2 and 13.2 of Marketing Agreement.)

     3. Within 90 days after signing the Marketing Agreement, furnish an initial
training program as described below. (Section 7.1 of Marketing Agreement.)

     4. Loan you one copy of our confidential and proprietary System Manual,
covering the specifications, standards, and operating procedures that we require
and information about your Business. (Section 8.1 of Marketing Agreement.)

Continuing Assistance.
---------------------

     During the operation of your Business, we will:

     1. Prepare and file any disclosure or other documents and materials related
to the offer and sale of Pak Mail franchises. You will be responsible for
complying with any applicable laws or regulations affecting the offer and sale
of franchises by your own employees, agents and/or other representatives under
your control. (Sections 4.2 and 13.2 of Marketing Agreement.)

     2. Approve or disapprove prospective franchisees submitted by you to us for
approval. (Section 4.4 of Marketing Agreement.)

                                       15

<PAGE>

     3. Pay you a commission equal to 40% of the initial franchise fee paid by a
franchisee for the purchase of a franchise for a PAK MAIL Center to be located
in your Territory. (Section 6.1 of Marketing Agreement.)

     4. Pay you, within 45 days of the end of each month throughout the term of
the Marketing Agreement if you continuously comply with the conditions of the
Marketing Agreement, 50% of the royalties which each Pak Mail franchisee located
in your Territory pays to us during the preceding month ("Service Fees") (i.e.,
August Service Fees paid by October 15). (Section 6.3 of Marketing Agreement.)

     5. Provide you with all changes to our disclosure documents and other
agreements regarding the offer or sale of franchises, on a timely basis, and if
you request, provide confirmation that the information contained in any written
materials, agreements or documents being used by you to offer and sell
franchises is true, correct and not misleading, except for information about
you. (Section 13.3 of Marketing Agreement.)

Advertising and Promotion.
-------------------------

     You will be obligated to spend at least $.001 per person in your Territory
each calendar quarter to advertise PAK MAIL Center franchises for sale in your
Territory. You may only use advertising material previously approved by us and
must submit a report to us within 20 days of the end of each calendar quarter
regarding your advertising expenditures during the previous quarter. You will be
responsible for complying, at your own expense, with the various state laws
requiring the approval of franchise sales and advertising materials unless we
have already received approval of the advertising materials.

System Manual.
-------------

     Attached to this Offering Circular as Exhibit H is the table of contents of
our System Manual showing the contents and number of pages in each section. The
total number of pages in our System Manual is currently 615.

Computer and Electronic Systems.
-------------------------------

     We require you to have access to the internet to enable you to send and
receive communications on our web-based e-mail system, but you are not currently
required to purchase a computer. If you also operate a PAK MAIL Center, you will
need to use an electronic point of sale computer system ("POS System") which you
must purchase through us. The POS System is described in the Offering Circular
for individual Pak Mail franchises in Item 11.

Schedule For Opening.
--------------------

     We estimate that the typical length of time between the date you sign the
Marketing Agreement and the date your Business opens will be approximately 30 to
120 days. The time it takes for you to complete your initial training program
and your ability to locate a suitable office may affect this time period.

Training Program.
----------------

     We will provide supplemental and refresher training programs regarding area
marketer issues which will be furnished at times and places designated by us.
You must pay all travel and living expenses incurred when you attend these
courses. Supplemental and refresher training will not exceed five working days
each calendar year. (Section 7.4 of Marketing Agreement.)

                                       16

<CAPTION>

     Within 90 days after you sign the Marketing Agreement, you are required to
attend and complete, to our satisfaction, the initial training program. We do
not charge you for this training, although you are responsible for paying
travel, living expenses and wages for you and all employees who attend the
training session. We conduct approximately nine days of training at our
corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. The training material consists of
written, video and audiotaped instruction. If you fail to complete the training
program to our satisfaction, we may terminate your Marketing Agreement. (Section
7.2 of Marketing Agreement.)

     As of our most recent fiscal year end, we provided the following initial
training to Area Marketers and to individual PAK MAIL Center franchisees:

                                    TERRITORY

     You may operate the Business and use the Marks only in your Territory. A
Territory may encompass an entire state, or a smaller political subdivision (one
or more counties or cities). The size of a Territory depends on the size of
population base for which you desire to accept responsibility for sales and
ongoing assistance, the degree of competition in any particular proposed
Territory and your financial and other qualifications to operate the Business
within a proposed Territory. We cannot license another Area Marketer within your
Territory unless you do not meet your sales goals, or do not conduct inspections
and file quarterly reports as discussed below. We retain the right to solicit
and sell franchises, and operate PAK MAIL Centers we own, within your Territory
as discussed below. You may advertise and sell Pak Mail franchises only in your
Territory.

     During the term of your Marketing Agreement, you will be required to meet
the sales goals specified in Exhibit I to the Marketing Agreement (the "Sales
Goals"). The Sales Goals consist of an annual requirement to sell a minimum
number of franchises for PAK MAIL Centers within your Territory. If you do not
meet the Sales Goals for any sales year we may terminate the Marketing Agreement
or take away your rights to act as the exclusive Area Marketer in the Territory,
in our sole discretion. We may also take away your exclusive right to act as our
Area Marketer in a Territory, in our sole discretion, without terminating the
Marketing Agreement, if you do not conduct quarterly inspections, file written
reports or perform the other services for franchisees located in the Territory,
as more fully described in Section 7 of the Marketing Agreement, or if you do
not cure a problem after notice from us. You have no option, right of first
refusal or similar contractual right to acquire additional Area Marketer
Businesses in areas contiguous to your Territory.

     Other than as stated above, continuation of your rights to your Territory
does not depend on the achievement of any specified sales volume, market
penetration or other contingency. Neither we nor you may modify your Territory
without an agreement in writing.

     We may, in our discretion and without giving any rights to you: (1) use and
license others to use, the Marks and Licensed Methods for the operation of other
area marketer businesses at any location outside of your Territory; (2) solicit
prospective franchisees and sell franchises for PAK MAIL Centers at locations
within and outside of your Territory on terms and conditions we deem appropriate
and operate our own PAK MAIL Centers within your Territory; and (3) use the
Marks to identify products and services other than those sold by franchisees who
operate PAK MAIL Centers, to identify promotional and marketing efforts and
related items, and to identify products and services similar to those which
franchisees who operate PAK MAIL Centers sell, made available through
alternative channels of distribution within and outside of your Territory; and
(4) use and license the use of other proprietary marks or methods in connection
with the sale of products and services similar to those which franchisees who

                                       18

operate PAK MAIL Centers sell, whether in alternative channels of distribution
or in connection with the operation of packaging and mailing businesses which
are the same as, or similar to, or different from PAK MAIL Centers, at any
location, (for example, if we acquire another packaging system that uses a
different name or trademark), on terms and conditions we deem appropriate. We do
not currently franchise or license any businesses selling any products or
services the same as or similar to those offered at PAK MAIL Centers, although
we may elect to do so in the future.

     You may use the Marks, including the trademark and service mark "PAK MAIL"
(and design) and other trademarks, service marks and commercial symbols as we
may authorize. We have registered the following principal trademarks on the
Principal Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO")
and all required affidavits and renewals of registration have been filed:

======================================== ===================================== =====================================

     We require you to use the Marks as the sole identification of your
Business. We require that you identify yourself as the independent owner of the
Business in the manner we specify. You may not use any Mark as part of any
corporate or trade name or with any prefix, suffix, or other modifying words,
terms, designs or symbols (other than logos licensed to you), or in any modified
form, nor may you use any Mark to identify unauthorized services or products or
in any other manner not expressly authorized in writing by us. You will be
required to modify or discontinue your use of a Mark if we require modification
or discontinuance of it, at your own expense.

     We require you to immediately notify us of any apparent infringement of or
challenge to your use of any Mark and you may not communicate with any person
other than us or our counsel regarding such matter. You may not settle any claim
without our written consent. We have sole discretion to take actions we deem
appropriate and the right to control exclusively any litigation, USPTO
proceeding or any other administrative proceeding resulting from any
infringement, challenge or claim regarding any Mark. There are no presently
effective determinations of the USPTO, the trademark trial and appeal board, the
trademark administrator of any state or any court, any pending infringement,
opposition or cancellation proceedings or material litigation involving the
Marks.

     We do not know about any infringing uses that could materially affect your
use of the Marks in any state, although we know about a number of other entities
using variations of the words "Pack" and/or "Mail" to identify packaging or
mailing services.

     Under the Marketing Agreement, we will reimburse you for your costs in
defending yourself against claims of infringement or unfair competition
resulting from your use of the Marks. If, in the opinion of our counsel, your

Operator, must successfully complete our mandatory initial training program for
a PAK MAIL Center. We require you and your managers to enter into a
confidentiality and noncompetition agreement with us (Exhibit I to this Offering

guaranteeing and agreeing to perform all obligations of the Area Marketer under
the Marketing Agreement.

                                EXPLANATORY NOTES
        (Containing Summary of Factual Data and Significant Assumptions)

     1. The data set forth above represents the reported gross sales of 279
franchised PAK MAIL Centers that were in operation at least two years before the
reporting period of December 1, 2000 through November 30, 2001.

     2. Aside from geographical and demographic differences and managerial
emphasis, there are no material differences in the products, services, training
or support offered to any franchisee. Differences in sales volumes are
attributable to the amount of time a PAK MAIL Center has been open, geographical
and demographic differences, and a franchisee's ability and willingness to
follow system guidelines.

     3. The sales of products and services by franchised PAK MAIL Centers
include those which reflect higher revenue margins such as freight, business
services, custom packaging, etc. and those which reflect little or no revenue
margins such as postage stamp sales. The mix of products and services varies at
the discretion of each franchisee.

     4. The above information was prepared from royalty reports provided by each
individual franchisee. A franchisee pays us a royalty based on sales. However,
we know of no instance, and have no reason to believe, that any franchisee would
overstate its level of sales receipts in its royalty report.

     5. This information represents aggregate results of sales reported to us
and should not be considered the actual or probable sales which will be achieved
by any individual franchisee. We do not represent that any prospective
franchisee can expect to attain these results. A franchisee's results are likely
to be lower in its first year of business. We recommend that the prospective
franchisee make his or her own independent investigation to determine whether or
not a franchise may be profitable. We further recommend that prospective
franchisees consult with professional advisors before executing any agreement.

     6. Actual results may vary from franchise to franchise and depend on a
variety of internal and external factors, many of which neither we nor any
prospective franchisee can estimate, such as competition, economic climate,
demographics, changing consumer demands, etc. A franchisee's ability to achieve
any level of gross sales or net income will depend on these factors and others,
including the franchisee's level of expertise, none of which are within our
control. Accordingly, we cannot, and do not, estimate the results of any
particular franchise.

     Substantiation for this data will be made available for inspection at our
headquarters and will be provided to all prospective franchisees upon request.

OF ACTUAL, AVERAGE, PROJECTED, FORECASTED OR POTENTIAL SALES, COSTS, INCOME OR
PROFITS ARE MADE TO FRANCHISEES BY US. WE DO NOT FURNISH OR MAKE, OR AUTHORIZE
OUR SALES PERSONNEL TO FURNISH OR MAKE, ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE ACTUAL, AVERAGE, PROJECTED, FORECASTED OR POTENTIAL SALES, COSTS,
INCOME OR PROFITS OF A FRANCHISE OR PROSPECTS OR CHANCES OF SUCCESS THAT ANY
FRANCHISEE CAN EXPECT OR THAT PRESENT OR PAST FRANCHISEES HAVE HAD, OTHER THAN
AS SET FORTH IN THIS ITEM. WE DISCLAIM AND WILL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY UNAUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIONS.

     (1)  All numbers are as of November 30 for each year.

     (2)  The numbers in the "Total" column may exceed the number of Businesses
          affected because several events may have affected the same Business.
          For example, the same Business may have had multiple owners.

     (3)  Several area franchisees have territories which encompass more than
          one state. See Item 2.
