NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 31, 1994 and 1993
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Effective the first quarter of 1994, the Company will utilize a fiscal year
consisting of either 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday nearest to December
31 each year. The quarters ended March 31, 1994 and March 31, 1993 each include
thirteen weeks of operations. For clarity of presentation, the Company has
described all periods presented as if the quarter ended on March 31.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31,
1994 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.
NOTE B - DISPOSAL OF PRODUCT LINE
Prior to 1994, the Company invested in a joint venture with an unrelated company
for the purpose of producing reduced cholesterol liquid whole eggs. The Company
owned 50% of the joint venture and recognized one half of the profit or loss
which resulted from the joint venture. Under the terms of the joint venture
agreement, the Company paid a processing toll to the joint venture equal to the
costs of production plus an amount to provide a return on each partner's
investment.
Due to the significant continuing losses and lack of adequate market acceptance,
the Company decided in December 1993 to cause the early termination of the joint
venture and to discontinue production of the reduced cholesterol liquid whole
eggs product. In the first quarter of 1994, the Company expended $11,500,000 to
acquire the interest of its joint venture partner.
In the first quarter of 1993, the revenues and expenses directly attributable to
the discontinued product line were net sales of $1,394,000, cost of sales of
$2,422,000, selling, general and administrative expenses of $956,000 and
interest income of $168,000. The Company thus recorded a pre-tax loss directly
attributable to the discontinued product line in the first quarter of 1993 of
approximately $1,816,000.

NOTE D - LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit with its principal banks
for $55,000,000 with interest payable at the banks' reference rates, or
alternative variable rates, at the Company's option. At March 31, 1994, the
Company had $33,500,000 outstanding at a weighted average rate of 4.7%. This
revolving line of credit, which matures on January 31, 1996, contains certain
restrictive covenants similar to the covenants contained in the Company's senior
promissory notes. At March 31, 1994, $21,500,000 of this line was unused.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1993
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 were $3,211,000, an increase
of $2,700,000 from net earnings of $511,000 in the previous year. Net earnings
per share were $.17 versus $.03 in the previous year.
Net sales increased $16,710,000, or 16%, to $121,641,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 from $104,931,000 in the previous year. Approximately 60% of the
sales increase was due to higher unit sales in each of the Company's four main
operating divisions. Additionally, improvement was seen in french fry selling
prices. First quarter 1993 net sales include $1,394,000 attributable to the
reduced cholesterol liquid whole eggs product line, which was discontinued in
the fourth quarter of 1993.
Gross profit increased $4,404,000 to $17,168,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1994, while gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 14.1% in the first
quarter of 1994 from 12.2% in the first quarter of 1993. The improved first
quarter 1994 gross profit margin primarily resulted from volume-driven
production economies, improved french fry pricing and the elimination of losses
from the discontinued reduced cholesterol liquid whole eggs. Low selling prices
for commodity-sensitive products, along with high production costs for reduced
cholesterol liquid whole eggs, depressed the gross profit margin in 1993. First
quarter 1993 gross profit was reduced by a gross loss of $1,028,000 directly
attributable to the discontinued reduced cholesterol liquid whole eggs product
line.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $126,000 to $9,855,000,
reflecting the higher sales level, as well as the elimination of expenses from
the discontinued reduced cholesterol liquid whole eggs, which were $956,000 in
the first quarter of 1993. Total selling, general and administrative expenses
were 8.1% of net sales in 1994 and 9.3% of net sales in 1993.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company completed the termination of a
joint venture which had been formed for the purpose of producing the reduced
cholesterol liquid whole eggs product line. The Company previously owned 50%
of the joint venture. To effect the termination, the Company acquired the
interest of its joint venture partner for $11,500,000.
GENERAL
Certain of the Company's products are sensitive to changes in commodity prices.
The Company's egg operations derive approximately 20% of net sales from shell
eggs, which are sensitive to commodity price swings. The remaining 80% of egg
sales are derived from the sale of value-added egg products. Gross profit from
shell eggs is primarily dependent upon the relationship between shell egg prices
and the cost of feed, both of which can fluctuate significantly. Shell egg
pricing in the first quarter of 1994 was approximately comparable to first
quarter 1993 levels. However, the cost of feed was higher due to higher grain
costs. Gross profit margins from value-added egg products are less sensitive to
commodity price fluctuations.
7
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL, CONT.
The Company's refrigerated distribution operations derive approximately 65% of
net sales from refrigerated products produced by others, thereby reducing the
effect of commodity price swings. The balance of refrigerated distribution
sales are from shell eggs, which are generally produced by the eggs and egg
products division and are sold on a distribution, or non-commodity, basis by the
refrigerated distribution division.
The potato products division typically purchases 80%-90% of its raw potatoes
from contract producers under annual contracts. The remainder is purchased at
market prices to satisfy short-term production requirements or to take advantage
of market prices when they are lower than contracted prices. Small variations
in the purchase price of raw materials or the selling price per pound of end
products can have a significant effect on potato products division operating
results. Prices of frozen french fried potatoes have generally improved over
the past 12 months. The impact of raw material costs within the potato products
division has been reduced in the past 3 - 4 years due to significant increases
in higher value-added refrigerated potato products sales.
The dairy products division sells its products primarily on a cost-plus basis
and, therefore, the division's earnings are not typically affected greatly by
raw ingredient price fluctuations.
Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's
business. The Company generally has been able to offset the impact of inflation
through a combination of productivity gains and price increases.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Acquisitions and capital expenditures have been, and will likely continue to be,
a capital requirement. The Company plans to continue to invest in
state-of-the-art production facilities to enhance its competitive position,
although the annual rate of spending is projected to decline from levels
experienced prior to 1993. Historically, the Company has financed its growth
principally from internally generated funds, bank borrowings, issuance of senior
debt and its sale of Common Stock. The Company believes that these financing
alternatives will continue to meet its anticipated needs.
The Company invested approximately $4,700,000 in capital expenditures during the
three months ended March 31, 1994. The Company's 1994 plan calls for
approximately $30,000,000 in total capital expenditures.
The Company has an unsecured line of credit for $55,000,000 with its principal
banks. As of March 31, 1994, approximately $33,500,000 was borrowed under this
line of credit.
8
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEASONALITY
Consolidated quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of the
Company's net sales and operating profits. Specifically, shell egg prices
typically rise seasonally in the first and fourth quarters of the year due to
increased demand during holiday periods. Generally, the refrigerated
distribution division experiences higher net sales and operating profits in the
fourth quarter. Operating profits from potato products are less seasonal, but
tend to be higher in the second half of the year coinciding with the potato
harvest. Operating profits from dairy operations typically are significantly
higher in the second and third quarters due to increased consumption of ice
milk and ice cream products during the summer months.
