3. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
provided net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $49 million. Of
this amount, $31.5 million was used to repay senior debt, $15.7 million was
used to repay the Company's 15% subordinated notes and $1.8 million was
used to pay prepayment penalties related to the early extinguishment of the
15% subordinated notes. As a result of these transactions, the Company
recorded a $2.2 million extraordinary loss from extinguishment of debt
which included $1.8 million in prepayment penalties and $1.3 million for
the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the repaid debt, net
of a tax benefit of $0.9 million.
On July 19, 1996, the Company amended its senior credit facilities to
borrow $35 million to complete the Garrido acquisition (see footnote 5,
"Subsequent Events"). Pursuant to this amendment, the Company's term loans
were combined into a single, $130 million U.S. based facility. Quarterly
amortization payments beginning September 30, 1996 will be $2.5 million,
increasing to: 1) $3.75 million on September 30, 1997; 2) $5.0 million on
September 30, 1998; 3) $5.375 million on September 30, 1999; 4) $6.0
million on September 30, 2000; 5) $9.875 on September 30, 2001 with a final
installment of $19.75 due on March 3, 2002.
4. ACQUISITIONS
During the quarter, the Company paid approximately $2.7 million to acquire
seven small ice businesses. Estimated annual sales of these seven ice
companies was $2.4 million.
5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On April 22, 1996, the Company issued 3,795,000 shares of common stock,
$.01 par value per share, in a public offering at a price to the public of
$14.00 per share. Following this offering, the Company had 10,108,479
shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On August 7, 1996, the
Company issued 625,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
(see footnote 6, "Subsequent Events"). Following this private sale, the
Company had 10,739,729 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 19, 1996, the Company acquired the common stock of Garrido y
Compania, Inc. ("Garrido"). The total purchase price was approximately
$35 million (inclusive of acquired cash) which was paid at closing plus an
additional future cash payment of up to $5.5 million if certain earnings
criteria are met during the first eighteen months of Garrido's
post-acquisition operating results. The cash paid at closing was funded by
additional borrowings under senior loan facilities. This acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as of the effective
date, and accordingly, only the results of operations of Garrido
subsequent to the
6
SUIZA FOODS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 1996
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)
acquisition date will be included in the consolidated financial statements
of the Company. The Puerto Rico Agricultural Tax Incentives Act of 1995
provides a 50% tax credit for certain "eligible investments" in qualified
agricultural businesses in Puerto Rico. The Company is currently
investigating whether its investment in Garrido or other recent
transactions regarding its other Puerto Rico based operations will qualify
for these tax credits. If the Company qualifies for such tax credits,
there can be no assurance as to the amounts or timing of any benefits that
the Company may realize.
On July 31, 1996, the Company announced that it had signed a non-binding
letter of intent to acquire Swiss Dairy Corporation of Riverside,
California. There are no assurances that this acquisition will be
consummated. It is the Company's plan to finance this potential
acquisition with additional borrowings from it senior lenders by obtaining
an amendment to its existing credit facilities.
On August 7, 1996, the Company issued 625,000 shares of common stock, $.01
par value per share, in a private sale to an institutional investor an
issue price of $16.00 per share. The private sale provided net cash
proceeds to the Company of approximately $9.5 million, which was used to
repay a portion of the amounts borrowed under the Company's revolving
credit facility. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement
with respect to these shares within 60 days of issuance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Suiza Foods is a leading manufacturer and distributor of fresh milk products
and refrigerated ready-to-serve fruit drinks in Puerto Rico, fresh milk and
related dairy products in Florida, and packaged ice in Florida and the
southwestern United States. The Company has grown primarily through
strategic and consolidating acquisitions. Through these acquisitions, the
Company has realized regional economies of scale and operating efficiencies
by consolidating manufacturing and distribution operations in each of its
core businesses. The Company operates through Suiza-Puerto Rico, Velda Farms
and Reddy Ice, each of which is a strong regional competitor with an
established reputation for customer service and product quality. These
subsidiaries market their products through extensive distribution networks to
a diverse group of customers, including convenience stores, grocery stores,
other retail outlets, schools and institutional food service customers.
The Company is a Delaware corporation, incorporated on September 19, 1994,
for the sole purpose of entering into certain mergers, exchanges and related
transactions (the "Combination"). On March 31, 1995, the Company completed
the Combination pursuant to which the Company acquired Suiza - Puerto Rico,
Velda Farms and Reddy Ice, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Pursuant to the Combination, the Company issued 6,313,479 shares of its
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding equity interest of the
combining entities. On April 22, 1996, the Company issued 3,795,000 shares
of common stock, $.01 par value per share, in a public offering (the
"Offering") at a price to the public of $14 per share. Prior to the
Offering, there was no public market for the Company's stock. The Offering
provided net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $49 million. Of
this amount $31.5 million was used to repay senior debt, $15.7 million was
used to repay the Company's 15% subordinated notes and $1.8 million was used
to pay prepayment penalties related to the early extinguishment of the 15%
subordinated notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company currently operates in two distinct businesses: Dairy, which
includes the operations of Suiza - Puerto Rico and Velda Farms; and Ice,
which includes the operations of Reddy Ice.

SECOND QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 1996 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE
1995
NET SALES. The Company's net sales increased by 5.7% and 4.8% for the second
quarter and first six months of 1996 when compared to the like periods of
1995. Dairy net sales increased by 4.9% and 4.3% for the second quarter and
first six months of 1996 when compared to like periods of 1995, primarily
due to (i) an increase in prices charged for milk to recoup increases in raw
milk costs in the U.S. and (ii) the acquisition of Skinners' Dairy in January
1996. Ice net sales increased by 10.5% and 9.3% for the second quarter and
first six months of 1996 when compared to like periods of 1995 due to the
addition of new customers and from the acquisition of twelve small ice
businesses during 1995 and the first half of 1996.
COST OF SALES. The Company's cost of sales margins were 71.6% and 73.6% for
the second quarter and first six months of 1996 compared to 71.8% and 73.4%
for the same periods in 1995. Dairy cost of sales margins increased primarily
due to higher raw milk costs. Ice cost of sales margins decreased reflecting
additional efficiencies realized from acquired business and increased volumes
processed when compared to the same periods over last year.
9
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expense ratios were 19.9% and 19.8% for the
second quarter and first six months of 1996 compared to 20.0% and 20.3% for
the same periods in 1995. Operating expense increases were experienced in
both Dairy and Ice as the result of acquisitions made during the past
eighteen months. Operating expense margins decreased in the second quarter
and six-month comparison because of increased Dairy net sales due to higher
milk costs which had little impact on operating expense levels.
OPERATING INCOME. The Company's operating income increased 9.5% to $9.9
million in the second quarter of 1996 from $9.0 million in the second quarter
of 1995 as a result of increased sales levels and improved gross margins
primarily in the Ice business. For the first six months, 1996 operating
income was $14.9 million, an increase of 9.5% from 1995 operating income of
$13.6 million. The Company's operating income margin increased to 8.5% in
the second quarter of 1996 from 8.2% in the second quarter of 1995 and
increased to 6.6% in the first six months of 1996 from 6.3% in the first six
months of 1995 due primarily to increased influence of the Ice business.
OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE. Interest expense declined to $3.9 million in the
second quarter of 1996 from $5.1 million in the second quarter of 1995
primarily due to lower debt levels following the Company's initial public
offering which was completed in April 1996. The Company incurred $1.4 million
in other non-operating expenses during the second quarter of 1995 related to
several uncompleted acquisitions and to an uncompleted debt offering.
Interest expenses declined to $8.5 million during the first six months of
1996 from $10.4 million during the first six months of 1995. In addition to
the reduced debt levels experienced during the second quarter, the reduced
year-to-date interest expense resulted from a decrease in interest rates.
The Company also incurred $8.8 million in non-recurring, merger expenses on
March 31, 1995 related to the Combination.
EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company incurred
$2.2 million in extraordinary costs (net of a $0.9 million tax benefit) as a
result of the early extinguishment of debt from the net cash proceeds of the
Companys' initial public offering. These costs included $1.3 million for the
write-off of deferred financing costs and $1.8 million in prepayment
penalties. During the first six months of 1995, the Company incurred $8.5
million in extraordinary costs (net of $0.7 million tax benefit) to refinance
the Company's debt in conjunction with the Combination which included the
write-off of deferred financing costs and certain prepayment penalties.
NET INCOME (LOSS). The Company reported net income of $2.3 million in the
second quarter of both 1995 and 1996. The 1996 net income was impacted by
higher income taxes and by a charge of $2.2 million for the extraordinary
item mentioned above. The Company reported net income of $2.7 million for
the first six months of 1996 compared to a loss of $16.0 million for the
first six months of 1995. The 1995 loss resulted from the $10.3 million in
one-time non-operating charges related to the Combination and uncompleted
acquisitions and to the $8.5 million extraordinary loss on early
extinguishment of debt mentioned above.
SEASONALITY
The Company's Ice business is seasonal with peak demand for its products
occurring during the second and third calendar quarters. Over the past two
fiscal years, Ice recorded an average of approximately 69% of its annual net
sales during these two quarters. While this percentage for the second and
third quarters has remained relatively constant over recent years, the timing
of the hottest summer weather can impact the distribution of sales between
these two quarters.
10
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had total stockholders' equity of $60.8
million and total indebtedness of $143.9 million (including long-term debt
and the current portion of long-term debt). The Company is currently in
compliance with all covenants and financial ratios contained in its debt
agreements.
CASH FLOW. Historically, the working capital needs of the Company have been
met with cash flow from operations along with borrowings under revolving
credit facilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.8
million for the first six months of 1996 as contrasted with net cash provided
by operations of $8.0 million for the first six months of 1995. Investing
activities in the first six months of 1996 included $8.0 million in capital
expenditures, of which $6.3 million was spent by Dairy and $1.7 million was
spent by Ice, and $4.2 million for acquisitions.
On April 22, 1996, the Company issued 3,795,000 shares of new common stock,
$.01 par value per share, in the Offering at a price to the public of $14 per
share. Prior to the Offering, there was no public market for the Company's
common stock. The Offering provided net cash proceeds to the Company of
approximately $49 million. Of this amount, $5.0 million was used to repay
amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $8.7 million was
used to repay current maturities under the term loan facility, $17.8 million
was used to repay long-term maturities under the term loan facility, $15.7
million was used to repay the Company's 15% subordinated notes and $1.8
million was used to pay prepayment penalties related to the early
extinguishment of the 15% subordinated notes. Following the Offering, the
Company had 10,108,479 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. During the remainder of 1996, the Company
currently intends to invest approximately $3.7 million, in addition to the
$8.0 million spent during the first six months in expanding its manufacturing
facilities and distribution capabilities. Of these amounts, Dairy currently
intends to spend approximately a total of $9.5 million in 1996 to expand and
maintain its manufacturing facilities and for fleet replacement. Ice
currently intends to spend a total of $2.2 million in 1996, including $1.7
for maintenance of existing facilities and $0.5 million to increase
production capacity. On July 19, 1996, the Company acquired the common stock
of Garrido y Compania, Inc. ("Garrido"). The total purchase price was
approximately $35.0 million which was funded by additional borrowings under
existing senior loan facilities. On August 7, 1996, the Company issued
625,000 shares of new common stock, $.01 par value per share, to an
institutional investor at a price of $16 per share. The sale of stock
provided approximately $9.5 million in net cash proceeds which was used to
retire debt outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company expects that cash flow from operations along with additional
borrowings under existing and future Credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet the Company's requirements for the remainder of 1996 and for the
