June 30, 1996 and 1995
(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.
The Company utilizes a fiscal year consisting of either 52 or 53 weeks, ending
on the Saturday nearest to December 31 each year. The quarters ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995 each include thirteen weeks of operations. For clarity
of presentation, the Company has described all periods presented as if the three
month and six month periods ended on June 30.
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 June 30,
1996, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996
and 1995. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
NOTE B - INVENTORIES
Inventories other than raw potatoes and potato products are stated at the lower
of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Raw potatoes and
potato products are stated at the lower of average cost for the year in which
produced or market. The cost of purchasing and raising flocks to laying
maturity is capitalized to inventory, then amortized, assuming no salvage value,
over the estimated productive life of each flock. Inventories consist of the
following:

NOTE C - NOTES PAYABLE
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 June 30, 1996, the
Company had $5,200,000 outstanding at the reference rate of 8.25% and
$35,000,000 outstanding at an average variable rate of 5.9%. This revolving
line of credit, which matures on March 31, 1997, contains certain restrictive
covenants similar to the covenants contained in the Company's senior promissory
notes. At June 30, 1996, $14,800,000 of this line was unused.

NOTE D - CONTINGENCIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could
differ from the estimates used by management.
PATENT LITIGATION
The Company had prepaid royalty payments of approximately $8,200,000 at June 30,
1996 and $8,300,000 as of December 31, 1995 included in other assets related to
an exclusive license agreement for the production and sale of extended shelf-
life liquid egg products. These amounts have arisen as a result of the Company
making payments to prosecute and defend the patents related to the exclusive
license agreement. The Company has the right to offset up to 50% of otherwise
payable royalties for the legal costs which it has incurred to defend patents
underlying the exclusive license agreement. In January, 1996, the Company was
informed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that a patent examiner rejected
the claims under one of the four process patents, which are the subject of the
license agreement, in a non-final action. Subsequently, non-final actions have
been received in reexamination proceedings on the other three process patents
which are the subject of the license agreement and these actions included
similar rejections of the claims. Management and the licensor intend to present
additional arguments and evidence to the examiner pointing out reasons why the
rejections should be withdrawn. Furthermore, should the examiner choose not to
withdraw the rejections, management intends to appeal the decision of the
examiner and believes the validity of the patents will ultimately be upheld.
During the appeal process, the patents remain valid and in full force and
effect. Based upon current and expected product volume levels, the Company
expects to fully recover the remaining prepaid royalties over the useful life of
the exclusive license agreement. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to fully recover its prepaid royalty payments. If the
patents are ultimately denied after all appeals have been concluded, the Company
would continue to produce and market the products currently subject to the
license agreement without incurring royalty cost.
PRODUCT LITIGATION
In the fall of 1994, a customer of the Company recalled product which was
potentially contaminated and is settling claims with consumers who became ill
after eating the product before the recall. The customer has filed a suit,
whereby the Company is a co-defendant with other companies alleged to have
supplied contaminated product to the customer's plant. The customer is seeking
damages for losses incurred, as well as alleged loss of past and future profits.
Management and its counsel believe the Company has substantial defenses to the
allegations and believe it is unlikely the Company will incur a loss from this
claim materially in excess of its insurance coverage.
OTHER LITIGATION
The Company is also engaged in routine litigation incidental to its business,
which management believes will not have a material effect upon its results of
operations, liquidity or consolidated financial position.
NOTE E - SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITION
The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase Papetti's Hygrade Egg
Products, Inc. and its affiliates ("Papetti's") in a cash and stock
transaction valued at approximately $85 million. Additionally, the Company
is to assume approximately $28 million in debt issued by Papetti's. Papetti's
is a producer of further processed egg products with annual sales in excess
of $275 million. Pending completion of the due diligence review process and
finalization of governmental reviews of the proposed transaction, it is
expected that the acquisition will close in the fourth quarter of 1996.

The Egg Products Division had higher dollar sales and lower dollar earnings
in the period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same
period in 1995. The shell egg product line operated at a loss in both
periods. Feed costs, which typically represent roughly two-thirds of the cost
of producing an egg, were sharply higher in the 1996 period than in the 1995
period, reflecting substantially higher market prices for corn and soybean
meal. This more than offset an approximate 27% year-over-year increase in
egg prices as reported by Urner Barry Publications - a widely quoted industry
pricing service. Significant sales increases were recorded for certain
non-commodity and less commodity-sensitive egg products, notably Easy
Eggs-Registered Trademark-(extended shelf-life liquid whole eggs), MicroFresh
(frozen omelets, patties and curds) and dried products, which helped mitigate
the impact of high feed costs on earnings.
The Refrigerated Distribution Division had higher dollar sales and relatively
stable dollar earnings in the period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the
results of the same period in 1995. Unit sales increased in the period for
distributed products, although sales growth and earnings were constrained by
their comparison to the second quarter of 1995, which contained favorable volume
impacts from the seasonal Easter holiday period. The 1996 Easter impact was in
the first quarter. Additionally, sourcing costs for items such as cheese and
butter rose sharply during the quarter and, given normal delays in being able to
pass on selling price adjustments, this constrained earnings growth.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
================================================================================
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONT.
The Potato Products Division had higher dollar sales and lower dollar earnings
in the period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same period
in 1995. While a competitive environment in the french fry processing industry
and a loss of market share depressed unit sales for frozen potato products,
value-added refrigerated potato product unit sales increased. Cost pressures,
from procuring more expensive open market potatoes to complement potatoes
delivered under contract, and processing yield pressures, from the utilization
of large amounts of under-sized potatoes, primarily resulted in a significant
reduction in divisional earnings.
The Dairy Products Division had higher dollar sales and lower dollar earnings in
the period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same period in
1995. While unit sales increased, growth was constrained by declining same-
store sales at certain major restaurant accounts and by less-than-favorable
weather in much of the division's trade area. Dairy ingredient market prices
rose sharply during the quarter. Divisional pricing changes occur on a delayed
basis and were insufficient to offset cost increases during the quarter.
The decline in the gross profit margin of the Company for the period ended June
30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same period in 1995, reflected the
factors discussed above, particularly the significant raw material issues
evident in the Egg Products and Potato Products divisions. It is management's
strategy to increase value-added product sales as a percent of total sales over
time, while decreasing commodity-sensitive products' contribution to
consolidated sales. These efforts historically have been beneficial to gross
profit margins. However, in the 1996 period finished product pricing did not
increase rapidly enough to offset the pressures from raw material cost and
potato quality issues. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
as a percent of sales in the period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the
results of the same period in 1995, due to the significant sales increase and
effective management of operating expenses across the Company.

The Egg Products Division had higher dollar sales and lower dollar earnings
in the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same
period in 1995. The shell egg product line operated at a loss in both
periods. Feed costs, which typically represent roughly two-thirds of the
cost of producing an egg, were sharply higher in the 1996 period than in the
1995 period, more than offsetting increased egg prices, which were
approximately 32% higher in the first six months of 1996 as compared to the
same period in 1995, as reported by Urner Barry Publications - a widely
quoted industry pricing service. Sales increased for certain value-added egg
products, notably Easy Eggs-Registered Trademark- and MicroFresh, which
helped mitigate the impact of high feed costs on earnings.
The Refrigerated Distribution Division had higher dollar sales and higher dollar
earnings in the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of
the same period in 1995. Unit sales increased compared to the levels of the
first six months of 1995. The combination of volume growth, pricing
improvements in certain product lines and tight expense management allowed for
divisional profit improvement.
The Potato Products Division had higher dollar sales and lower dollar earnings
in the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same
period in 1995. While a competitive environment in the french fry processing
industry and a loss of market share depressed unit sales for frozen potato

The Dairy Products Division had higher dollar sales and lower dollar earnings in
the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same
period in 1995. While unit sales increased, growth was constrained by declining
same-store sales at certain major restaurant accounts and by less-than-favorable
weather in much of the division's trade area during the seasonally important
second quarter. Dairy ingredient market prices rose sharply during the second
quarter. Divisional pricing changes are made on a delayed basis and did not
occur rapidly enough to offset the cost increases.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
================================================================================
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONT.
The decline in the gross profit margin of the Company for the period ended June
30, 1996, as compared to the results of the same period in 1995, reflected the
factors discussed above, particularly the significant raw material issues
evident in the Egg Products and Potato Products divisions. It is management's
strategy to increase value-added product sales as a percent of total sales over
time, while decreasing commodity-sensitive products' contribution to
consolidated sales. These efforts historically have been beneficial to gross
profit margins. However, in the 1996 period finished product pricing did not

potato quality issues. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
as a percent of sales in the period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the
results of the same period in 1995, due to the significant sales increase and
effective management of operating expenses across the Company.
GENERAL
Certain of the Company's products are sensitive to changes in commodity prices.
The Company's egg products operations derive approximately 15% - 20% of that
division's net sales from shell eggs, which are sensitive to commodity price
swings. The Easy Eggs-Registered Trademark- product line accounts for
approximately 45% of the Egg Products Division's net sales and was a comparable
percent of sales in the first half of 1995. The remainder of Egg Products
Division sales are derived from the sale of other 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 half of 1996 was approximately
32% above first half 1995 levels as measured by a widely quoted pricing service.
Gross profit margins from value-added egg products are less sensitive to
commodity price fluctuations.
The Company's refrigerated distribution operations derive approximately 70% of
that division's 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, some of which are produced by the Egg
Products Division and are sold on a distribution, or non-commodity, basis by the
Refrigerated Distribution Division.
The Potato Products Division derives approximately 65% of its net sales from the
refrigerated potato products line. The potato products division typically
purchases 80%-90% of its raw potatoes from contract producers under annual
contracts. The remainder is purchased at open 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. The impact of raw
material costs within the Potato Products Division has been reduced in recent
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.
11
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
================================================================================
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 has declined in recent years. Historically, the Company
has financed its growth principally from internally generated funds, bank
borrowings, issuance of senior debt and the sale of Common Stock. The Company
believes that these financing alternatives will continue to meet its anticipated
needs.
The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase Papetti's Hygrade Egg
Products, Inc. and its affiliates ("Papetti's") in a cash and stock transaction
valued at approximately $85 million. Additionally, the Company is to assume
approximately $28 million in debt issued by Papetti's. Papetti's is a
producer of further processed egg products with annual sales in excess of
$275 million. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
Approximately 60% of the purchase price is to be in the form of cash and the
Company is exploring financing alternatives to fund this outlay, as well as the
possible refinancing of the debt to be assumed. It is expected that these
financing needs will be met through a combination of senior debt issuance and
modifying the Company's unsecured line of credit.
The Company invested approximately $13,200,000 in capital expenditures during
the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company's 1996 plan calls for
approximately $31,000,000 in total capital expenditures.
The Company has an unsecured line of credit for $55,000,000 with its principal
banks. As of June 30, 1996, approximately $40,200,000 was borrowed under this
line of credit.
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.
