                J & J SNACK FOODS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (unaudited)

      Note 1  In the opinion of management, the accompanying
              unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
              all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
              adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
              financial position and the results of operations and
              cash flows.  Certain prior year amounts have been
              reclassified to conform to the current period
              presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect
              on reported net earnings.

              The results of operations for the three months and
               six months ended
              March 27,December 25, 2004 and March 29,December 27, 2003 are not
              necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
              Sales of our retail stores are generally higher in
              the first quarter due to the holiday shopping
              season.  Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen
              juice bars and ices are generally higher in the
              third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

              While we believe that the disclosures presented are
              adequate to make the information not misleading, it
              is suggested that these consolidated financial
              statements be read in conjunction with the
              consolidated financial statements and the notes
              included in the Company'sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
              year ended September 27, 2003.25, 2004.

      Note 2  We recognize revenue from Food Service, Retail
              Supermarkets, The Restaurant Group and Frozen
              Beverage products at the time the products are
              shipped to third parties.  When we perform services
              for others under time and material agreements,
              revenue is recognized upon the completion of the
              services. We also sell fixed-fee service contracts.
              The terms of coverage range between 12 and 60
              months.  We record deferred income on service
              contracts which is amortized by the straight-line
              method over the term of the contracts. We provide an
              allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into
              account historical experience and other factors.

      Note 3  Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided
              for by the straight-line method over the assets'
              estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements
              is provided for by the straight-line method over the
              term of the lease or the assets' estimated useful
              lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights
              arising from acquisitions are amortized by the

                                    7


              straight-line method over periods ranging from 4 to
              20 years.

      Note 4  Our calculation of earnings per share in accordance
              with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," is as

      Note 5  The Company accounts for stock options under SFAS
              No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
              as amended by SFAS No. 148, which contains a fair

                                    8

              value-based method for valuing stock-based
              compensation that entities may use, which measures



                                     9
              compensation cost at the grant date based on the
              fair value of the award.  Compensation is then
              recognized over the service period, which is usually
              the vesting period.  Alternatively, SFAS No. 123
              permits entities to continue accounting for employee
              stock options and similar equity instruments under
              Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25,
              "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".
              Entities that continue to account for stock options
              using APB Opinion 25 are required to make pro forma
              disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as
              if the fair value-based method of accounting defined
              in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.applied (see Note 6).

              based employee compensation plan.plans.  The Company
              accounts for this planthese plans under the recognition and
              measurement principles of APB No. 25, "Accounting
              for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
              interpretations.  Stock-based employee compensation
              costs are not reflected in net income, as all
              options granted under the plans had an exercise
              price equal to the market value of the underlying
              common stock on the date of grant.  The following
              table illustrates the effect on net income and
              earnings per share if the Company had applied the
              fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
              to stock-based employee compensation.

              assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004: expected
              volatility of 43% and 15%; risk-free interest ratesrate of 3.07%
              and 3.24%rates ranging between 2.27% and 3.49%; and
              expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years.

      Note 6  In November 2002, FASB Interpretation 45,
               "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
               for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
               Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45), was issued.  FIN
               45 requires a guarantor entity, at the inception of
               a guarantee covered by the measurement provisions of
               the interpretation, to record a liability for the
               fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing
               the guarantee.

               We previously did not record a liability when
               guaranteeing obligations unless it became probable
               that we would have to perform under the guarantee.
               FIN 45 applies prospectively to guarantees we issue
               or modify subsequent to December 31, 2002, but has


                                    11
               certain disclosure requirements effective for
               interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
               2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a
               significant impact on our consolidated financial
               position, results of operations or cash flows.

               In January 2003,2004, the FASB issued InterpretationStatement 151,
              "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 46, Consolidation43,
              Chapter 4".



              Statement 151 retains the general principle of Variable Interest Entities (FIN
               46)ARB
              43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing (AC Section I78)",
              that inventories are presumed to be stated at cost;
              however, it amends ARB 43 to clarify that



                                   10


             .  abnormal amounts of idle facilities, freight,
                handling costs, and spoilage should be recognized
                as charges of the current period

             .  allocation of fixed production overheads to
                inventories should be based on the normal
                capacity of the production facilities.

              Statement 151 defines normal capacity as the
              production expected to be achieved over a number of
              periods or seasons under normal circumstances,
              taking into account the loss of capacity resulting
              from planned maintenance. The Board concluded that
              normal capacity refers to a range of production
              levels that will vary based on business- and
              industry-specific factors.  Accordingly, an entity
              will have to use judgment to determine when
              production is outside the range of expected
              variation in production (either abnormally low or
              abnormally high).  In general, a variable interest entityperiods of abnormally low

              each unit of production should not be increased.
              However, in periods of abnormally high production
              the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit
              of production is decreased to assure inventories are

              The guidance in Statement 151 is effective for
              business purposes that either (a)

              the entityadoption to
               support its activities. FIN 46 requires certain
               variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
               primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors
               do not have the characteristics of a controlling
               financial interest or do not have sufficient equity
               at risk for the entity to finance its activities
               without additional subordinated financial support
               from other parties. The consolidation requirements
               of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
               entities created after January 31, 2003. We adopted
               the provisions of FIN 46 effective February 1, 2003
               and such adoption did not have a material impact on our
              consolidated  financial statements  since  we
               currently have no variable interest entities.statements.

              In December 2003,2004, the FASB issued FIN 46R with
               respectStatement No.
              123(R), "Share-Based Payment".  Statement 123(R)
              requires that the compensation cost relating to
              variable interest entities created before
               January 31, 2003, which among other things, revisedshare-based payment transactions be recognized in
              financial statements.  That cost will be measured
              based on the implementation date to the first fiscal year or
               interim period ending after March 15, 2004, with the
               exception of Special Purpose Entities (SPE). The
               consolidation requirements apply to all SPE's in the
               first fiscal year or interim period ending after
               December 15, 2003. We adopted the provisions of FIN
               46R effective December 29, 2003 and such adoption
               did not have a material impact on our consolidated
               financial statements since we currently have no
               SPE's.

               On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,
               "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
               Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity."
               SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer
               classifies and measures certain financial
               instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
               and equity.

              This statement is effective for all financial instruments entered into or
               modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
               effective at the beginningas of the first interim
              or annual reporting period beginningthat begins after June
              15, 2003.2005.

              Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based

                                  11


              compensation arrangements including share options,
              restricted share plans, performance-based awards,
              share appreciation rights, and employee share
              purchase plans.

              In addition to the accounting standard that sets
              forth the financial reporting objectives and related
              accounting principles, Statement 123(R) includes an
              appendix of implementation guidance that provides
              expanded guidance on measuring the fair value of
              share-based payment awards.

              Statement 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123,
              Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
              supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
              Issued to Employees.  Statement 123, as originally
              issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-
              value-based method of accounting for share-based
              payment transactions with employees.  However, that
              Statement permitted entities the option of
              continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as
              long as the footnotes to financial statements
              disclosed what net income would have been had the
              preferable fair-value-based method been used.  We
              anticipate implementing this new standard in the
              fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2005.  The adoptionimpact

              distribute our products directly to the consumer
              through our chain of retail stores referred to as
              The Restaurant Group.  Sales and results of our
              frozen beverages business are monitored separately
              from the balance of our food service business and
              restaurant group because of different distribution
              and capital requirements.  We maintain separate and
              discrete financial information for the four
              operating segments mentioned above which is
              available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.
              We have applied no aggregate criteria to any of
              these operating segments in order to determine
              reportable segments. Our four reportable segments
              are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, The
              Restaurant Group and Frozen Beverages.  All inter-
              segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated
              in computing net sales and operating income (loss).
              These segments are described below.

              Food Service

              The primary products sold toby the food service group
              are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts,

              in chain, department and discount stores; malls and
              shopping centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and

                                    13

              stores; movie theatres; warehouse club stores;
              schools, colleges and other institutions.  Within
              the food service industry, our products are

              at the point-of-sale.

              Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, ICEE Squeeze Up
              Tubes and TIO PEPE'S Churros.  Within the retail
              supermarket industry, our frozen and prepackaged
              products are purchased by the consumer for
              consumption at home.

              The Restaurant Group

            As a result of the quarterly impairment testing performed,
       we deemed it necessary to record an impairment charge of $52,000
       within the Restaurant Group segment.  The Restaurant Group segment
       is comprised solely of retail stores.  The impairment charge is
       the result of diminished operating performance at certain of
       these stores.

      Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

           Our current cash and marketable securities balances
      and cash expected to be provided by future operations are
      our primary sources of liquidity.  We believe that these
      sources, along with our borrowing capacity, are sufficient
      to fund future growth and expansion.

           The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash
      dividend of $.125 per common share payable January 5, 2005
      to shareholders of record on December 15, 2004.  The
      dividend totalled $1,127,000.  This was the first cash
      dividend paid by the Company.  The Company anticipates that
      its Board of Directors will continue to declare quarterly
      cash dividends; however, the continuance of cash dividends
      is not guaranteed and is dependent on many factors.

           In the three monthsquarters ended March 27,December 25, 2004 and March 29,December
      27, 2003 fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican peso
      caused an increase of $49,000$67,000 and aan decrease of $70,000,
       respectively,$67,000 in
      stockholders' equity, respectively, because of the
      revaluationtranslation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican
      frozen beverage subsidiary. In the six month periods, there
       was a decrease of $18,000 in fiscal year 2004 and a
       decrease of $99,000 in fiscal year 2003.

           On January 5, 2004, we acquired the assets of Country
      Home Bakers, Inc. for approximately $13 million in cash.
      Country Home Bakers, Inc., with its manufacturing facility
      in Atlanta, GA, manufactures and distributes bakery
      products to the food service and supermarket industries.
      Its product line includes cookies, biscuits, and frozen
      doughs sold under the names READI-BAKE, COUNTRY HOME and
      private labels sold through supermarket in-store bakeries.

           Total annual sales are estimated to be approximately $55
       million.

            Our general-purpose bank credit line provides for up
      to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility. The agreement
      contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees
      in accordance with standard banking practice. There were no
      outstanding balances under this facility at March 27,December 25,
      2004.
       The expiration date of the credit line has been extended to
       December 2006.

       sales decreased 12% to $6,763,000 in the three months and

      Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
              Market Risk

              There has been no material change in the Company's
              assessment of its sensitivity to market risk since
              its presentation set forth, in item 7a.
              "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
              Market Risk," in its 20032004 annual report on Form 10-K
              filed with the SEC.

      Item 4. Controls and Procedures

              Quarterly evaluation of the Company's Disclosure and
              Internal Controls.  The Company evaluated (i) the
              effectiveness of the design and operation of its
              disclosure controls and procedures (the "Disclosure
              Controls") as of the end of the period covered by
              this Form 10-Q and (ii) any changes in internal
              controls over financial reporting that occurred
              during the secondfirst quarter of its fiscal year.  This
              evaluation ("Controls Evaluation") was done under
              the supervision and with the participation of
              management, including the Chief Executive Officer
              ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO").

              Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.  A
              control system, no matter how well conceived and
              operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
              assurance that the objectives of the control system
              are met.  Further, the design of a control system
              must reflect the fact that there are resource
              constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
              considered relative to their costs.  Because of the
              inherent limitations in all control systems, no
              evaluation of controls can provide absolute
              assurance that all control issues and instances of
              fraud, if any, within the Company have been
              detected.  Because of the inherent limitations in a
              cost effective control system, misstatements due to
              21
               error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  The
              Company conducts periodic evaluations of its
              internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its
              procedures and controls.

                                   21


              Conclusions.  Based upon the Controls Evaluation,
              the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Disclosure
              Controls are effective in reaching a reasonable
              level of assurance that information required to be
              disclosed by the Company in the reports that it
              files or submits is recorded, processed, summarized
              and reported within the time period specified in the
              SEC's rules and forms and that management is timely
              alerted to material information relating to the
              Company during the period when its periodic reports
              are being prepared. However, the CEO and CFO did
              become aware of significant deficiencies in our
              internal controls in the areas of account
              reconciliations and segregation of duties in some of
              our disbursements, inventory and purchasing
              functions. We believe that these deficiencies did
              not affect the accuracy of our financial statements
              included in this report. In order to correct these
              deficiencies, the Company is continuing to enforce
              existing policies and improving segregation of
              duties where applicable. Additionally, in accord
              with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's
              requirements, the CEO and CFO conducted an
              evaluation of the Company's internal control over
              financial reporting (the "Internal Controls") to
              determine whether there have been any changes in
              Internal Controls that occurred during the quarter
              which have materially affected or which are
              reasonablereasonably likely to materially affect Internal
              Controls. Based on this evaluation, there have been
              no such changes in Internal Controls during the
              quarter covered by this report.

      financial statements for external purposes in accordance
      with generally accepted accounting principles;

                c)   evaluated the effectiveness of the
