NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation
S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three month and six month periods ended
January 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending July 31, 1997. For further information, refer to
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 1996.
NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES

-------- --------
Total inventories $684,616 $478,162

NOTE 3 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING METHOD
Effective August 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of accounting for new
account allowances (fees paid to customers to obtain retail shelf or warehouse
space) from the capitalization method (with amortization over 12-36 months) to
expensing the costs as incurred. The change was made to conform with predominant
industry practice and because the new method is more practical to account for
and will reflect more conservative accounting. The change has been applied
retroactively to costs paid in prior years and results in a cumulative effect
adjustment of $1,406,050 (no income tax effect) which is included in the net
loss for the six months ended January 31, 1996.
NOTE 4 - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING INCENTIVES
In fiscal 1996, the Company received economic development and training
incentives from certain governmental agencies. Incentives totaling $375,000 were
recorded in income for the first quarter ended October 31, 1995 as a reduction
to cost of goods sold ($275,000) and selling, general and administrative expense
($100,000). Training incentives of $50,000 were earned in the second quarter
ended January 31, 1996 and recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold.
Page 6 of 11
NOTE 5 - ADDITIONAL CAPITAL FUNDING
The Company signed an agreement on November 15, 1996 increasing the availability
under its term loan by an additional $250,000. In connection with this
additional funding, an affiliate of the lender purchased 111,111 shares of
common stock for $2.25 per share, and another affiliate of the lender received
warrants to purchase 205,000 shares of preferred stock and/or common stock at an
exercise price of $2.25 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
- ------- -------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales increased 23.1% in the second quarter ended January 31, 1997 to
$5,589,613, an increase of $1,048,839 over the same period of the prior year.
The primary factor in the growth of the Company's net sales is due to the bake
off product which was introduced in the fourth quarter of last year. Year to
date net sales for the first six months were $11,970,892, an increase of 39.6%
over the same period of the prior year.
Gross profit in the second quarter decreased 1.9% to $2,024,533 from $2,064,407
for the same period of the prior year. Gross profit as a percent of net sales in
the second quarter was 36.2% versus 45.5% in the same period of the prior year.
The decrease reflects the lower margin for the bake off product which comprised
38.2% of net sales during the quarter ended January 31, 1997, along with
production efficiencies that were affected by approximately seven days of
downtime due to installation of new equipment and severe winter weather in
January. Gross profit for the first half was $4,469,993 or 37.3% of net sales
versus 47.7% for the same period of the prior year. Excluding the favorable
impact of an economic development incentive on gross profit for the six months
ended January 31, 1996, gross profit would have increased 18.8% in the first
half of 1997.
For the second quarter ended January 31, 1997, distribution expense totaled
$367,016 or 6.6% of net sales versus 8.5% in the prior year. The decrease is due
to the bake off product shipping costs being absorbed by the customer.
Distribution expenses for the six months ended January 31, 1997 was 7.8% of net
sales versus 8.6% for the same period of the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1997 were
$1,519,303, a decrease of $474,803 or 23.8%. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales were 27.2% versus 43.9% for the same
period of the prior year. The primary reason for the decrease in this percentage
is the addition of the bake off sales (38.2% of net sales) which has minimal
selling, general and administrative expenses compared to the Company's branded
products. Advertising, trade allowances, promotion and slotting expenses
decreased to $879,375 from $1,253,833 for the same period of the prior year. The
Company has instituted a program of selective advertising and promotional
spending that focuses on profitability by supporting the Company's more
profitable supermarket customers. First half selling, general and administrative
expenses were $3,099,787, a decrease of $375,355 from the same period of the
prior year.
As a result of the factors described above, net income for the second quarter
ended January 31, 1997 was $15,330 compared to a net loss of $437,740 for the
same period of the prior year. The net income for the first six months was
$283,324 compared to a loss before cumulative effect of accounting change of
$287,547 for the same period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Cash provided by operations was $1,032,213 for the six months ended January 31,
1997, an increase of $912,179 from the prior year. The improvement in income
before cumulative effect of accounting change and working capital, accounts for
this change.
Cash used by investing activities was $1,728,262 for the six months ended
January 31, 1997, a decrease of $1,594,764 over the same period of the prior
year. The primary uses of investment funds were equipment acquisitions and
installation related to the plant expansion program which began in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1996.
Cash provided by financing activities was $953,342 for the six months ended
January 31, 1997, which was due to the decrease in the construction fund
balance, and proceeds from debt and sale of stock. In November 1996, the Company
received additional loan proceeds and equity financing totaling $500,000, as
described in Note 5 to the Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company believes that its anticipated cash flow from operations together
with its existing credit facilities will provide it with adequate resources for
its liquidity and capital expenditure needs during fiscal 1997.
