NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1994
(1) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1994, and for
the six months then ended have been prepared by The Morningstar Group
Inc. (the "Company" or "Morningstar") without audit. In the opinion of
management, all necessary adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) to present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and changes in
cash flows at June 30, 1994 and for the six months then ended, have been
made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1993 financial
statements contained in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On April 13, 1994, Morningstar completed the divestiture of its
Florida-based fluid milk operation Velda Farms Inc. ("Velda") to Engles
Dairy Acquisition L.P. ("Purchaser") at an approximate selling price of
$51 million consisting of $48 million of cash and $3 million of 9% Series
A Preferred Stock. The sale of Velda completes the Company's divestiture
of its regional dairies. These operations have been treated as
discontinued operations, and previously published financial statements
have been restated to conform with this presentation.
On March 31, 1993, the Company acquired Favorite Foods Inc.,
("Favorite") a subsidiary of Nestle USA, Inc., for $28 million plus
expenses. Favorite, headquartered in Fullerton, California, is a
processor of cultured and ultrapasteurized products. The Company amended
its senior credit agreement to increase the term loan and borrowed funds
thereunder to complete this purchase.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations - Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 1994
Compared with Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 1993
Net sales are classified into two categories: (i) branded specialty
products, which include historical sales of the Company's four national branded
products - International Delight(R) non-dairy coffee creamer, Second Nature(R)
egg product, Lactaid(R) reduced lactose milk and Naturally Yours(R) no fat sour
cream; and (ii) other specialty products, which includes all sales of the
Company's specialty foods business other than branded specialty products.
Net sales for the second quarter of 1994 totalled $73.7 million, an
increase of $1.3 million from net sales for the same period in 1993. For the
six months ended June 30, 1994, net sales were $144.4 million, an increase of
$15.5 million from the same period in 1993. The following table reflects net
sales by business category from year to year:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
--------------------------- --------------------------
Business Category 1993 1994 1993 1994
----------------- ----------- ------------ ----------- -----------
Branded specialty products . . . . . . . . . . . $ 19,191 $ 23,957 $ 38,442 $ 47,818
Other specialty products . . . . . . . . . . . . 53,170 49,710 90,495 96,588
----------- ------------ ----------- -----------
Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 72,361 $ 73,667 $ 128,937 $ 144,406
=========== ============ =========== ===========
Net sales of branded specialty products increased by 24.8% and 24.4% for
the second quarter and first six months of 1994 when compared to similar
periods in 1993. This improvement was accomplished through increased sales of
all four branded products with the exception of a slight decrease in Second
Nature sales in the second quarter. Net sales of other specialty products
decreased 6.5% during the second quarter due to declines in UHT and cultured,
while sales for the first six months increased 6.7% primarily as the result of
the acquisition of Favorite on March 31, 1993. The second quarter declines in
net sales were primarily due to lower volumes and competitive pricing.
Gross margin was 23.5% and 23.2% for the second quarter and first six
months of 1994 compared to 23.1% and 24.4% for like periods of 1993. These
comparisons are the result of increasing sales of branded products in the
second quarter, which contribute higher gross margins, but have been slightly
offset by increased competitive pricing in the other specialty products
category.
Operating expense ratios were 17.4% and 17.6% for the second quarter and
first six months of 1994 compared to 17.7% and 19.2% for like periods of 1993.
Distribution expenses increased as a percent of net sales due to a higher
proportion of delivered customers being served. Selling expenses increased as
a percent of net sales primarily as the result of increased advertising and
promotional activities related to the growth of branded specialty products.
General and administrative expenses declined as a percent of net sales due to
the effects of the Company's restructuring program.
The Company's operating income during the second quarter of 1994 was $4.5
million, an increase of 14.0% from operating income for the second quarter of
1993 of approximately $3.9 million. For the first six months, 1994 operating
income was $8.2 million, an increase of 23.1% from 1993 operating income of
$6.7 million. The increase in operating income from like periods in 1993 was
the result of slightly higher sales and gross margins.
For the second quarter, interest expense declined by 10.5% from $1.3
million in 1993 to $1.1 million in 1994. For the first six months, interest
expense declined 2.2%. These reductions resulted from lower average debt
levels especially in the second quarter of 1994 following the sale of Velda.
The Company recorded net income from continuing operations of $2.5 million
and $4.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 compared to
$1.8 million and $2.8 million for the comparable periods of 1993. The improved
profitability was primarily the result of higher branded sales and lower
general and administrative expenses.

The Company recorded a gain of approximately $.5 million net of applicable
taxes on the sale of Velda which was completed during the second quarter of
1994.
The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $.2 million in the second
quarter of 1993 for the premium paid to retire approximately $4.8 million in
senior subordinated debentures.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a charge of $9.0
million which included provisions for reductions in workforce, relocation of
the manufacturing of certain product lines to gain operating efficiencies, and
the abandonment of other product lines. The charge also included $1.9 million
representing the excess of the book value of operating assets sold in 1991 and
1992 over their estimated realizable value. Cash expenditures during the first
six months of 1994 related to this charge were approximately $2.5 million, with
an additional $2.0 million expected in the remainder of 1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by continuing operations was $12.9 million during the first
six months of 1994 compared to cash provided by continuing operations of $8.5
million during the first six months of 1993. The sources of cash during the
first six months of 1994 were the $12.9 million provided by continuing
operations, $50.0 million from the sale of Morningstar's discontinued
operations, $.9 million from reduced cash balances, and $.2 million from the
exercise of stock options. These sources of cash were utilized to pay down
debt of $55.9 million, to provide for capital and other expenditures of $4.5
million, to pay dividends of $.5 million, and to provide $3.1 million used by
discontinued operations.
Capital expenditures during the first six months of 1994 were spent
primarily on equipment additions for increased operating efficiencies. As of
the end of the second quarter of 1994, the Company was not in compliance with
its fixed charge coverage ratio and has obtained a waiver of this covenant from
its senior lenders. The Company was in compliance with all other covenants and
financial ratios contained in its senior credit agreement.
At June 30, 1994 the Company had approximately $19.3 million in unused
borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. The Company expects
that operating cash flows, together with borrowings under its revolving credit
facility, will be sufficient to fund the Company's requirements for working
capital and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
Financing
As of June 30, 1994, the Company's senior credit agreement consisted of a
$60.5 million term loan and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility. As of
June 30, 1994, approximately $0.8 million was borrowed under the revolving
credit facility and approximately $4.9 million in letters of credit were
outstanding.
On April 13, 1994, Morningstar completed the divestiture of Velda, its
Florida-based fluid milk operation, to Engles Dairy Acquisition L.P. at an
approximate selling price of $51 million including $3.0 million of 9% Series A
Preferred Stock. After adjusting the selling price for increases in working
capital, approximately $48 million was received in cash. Following the
application of all cash proceeds on June 14, 1994, the Company had no revolver
balance outstanding and had a remaining term loan balance of approximately
$60.5 million. No further quarterly payments are required on the term loan
until June 20, 1995. The remaining amortization schedule for the term loan is
as follows:
Approximate
Quarterly payment date(s) Quarterly payment
