THE MORNINGSTAR GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995
(1) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1995, 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, 1995 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 1994 financial
statements contained in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
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
$48 million in cash after working capital adjustments and $3 million of
9% Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Company
deferred the recognition of the gain on the Preferred Stock pending
realization of the gain. The sale of Velda completed the Company's
divestiture of its regional dairies. These regional dairy operations
along with the Company's other divested operations, have been treated as
discontinued operations, and previously published financial statements
have been restated to conform with this presentation.
On March 31, 1995, the Preferred Stock was redeemed by its issuer
at face value plus accrued dividends. The $3.0 million gain on the
stock, less applicable taxes and other reserves of $2.3 million, was
reflected in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations during the first quarter of 1995. The Company also recognized
$268,000 in dividends, related to the Preferred Stock, during the first
quarter of 1995 which was recorded in continuing operations. The Company
recorded an additional loss from discontinued operations of approximately
$.5 million, net of tax benefits, during the second quarter of 1995,
related to discontinued operations reserves and other liabilities.

On June 21, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors announced that
it had approved a plan pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations - Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 1995
Compared with Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 1994
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) gourmet flavored coffee creamers, Second
Nature(R) egg product, Lactaid(R) reduced lactose and lactose-free milks 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 1995 totaled $75.3 million, an increase
of $1.7 million from net sales for the same period in 1994. For the six months
ended June 30, 1995, net sales were $147.4 million, an increase of $2.9 million
from the same period in 1994. 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 1994 1995 1994 1995
----------------- ----------- ------------ ----------- -----------
Branded specialty products . . . . . . . . . . . $ 23,957 $ 27,949 $ 47,818 $ 55,476
Other specialty products . . . . . . . . . . . . 49,710 47,388 96,588 91,879
----------- ------------ ----------- -----------
Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 73,667 $ 75,337 $ 144,406 $ 147,355
=========== ============ =========== ===========
Net sales of branded specialty products increased by 16.7% and 16.0% for
the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively, when compared to
similar periods in 1994. This improvement was accomplished through increased
sales of International Delight(R) and Lactaid(R). Net sales of other specialty
products decreased by 4.7% during the second quarter due mainly to declines in
the juice and other category. Net sales of other specialty products declined
4.9% during the six month period ended June 30, 1995 due to declines in the
cultured category as well as the juice and other category. The Company's
selective withdrawal from certain marginally profitable segments of this
business also contributed to the declines.
Gross margin was 24.2% for the second quarter and the first six months of
1995, respectively, compared to 23.7% and 23.4% for like periods of 1994.
These comparisons are the result of increasing sales of branded products in the
second quarter and first six months of 1995, and the Company's selective
withdrawal from certain marginally profitable segments of the specialty
products business. This increase is slightly offset by increased competitive
pricing in the other specialty products category.
Operating expense ratios were 17.0% and 17.6% for the second quarter and
first six months of 1995, respectively, compared to 17.5% and 17.6% for like
periods of 1994. Distribution expenses as a percent of net sales decreased
slightly in 1995 despite the increase in branded sales. This reflects the
Company's continued efforts to optimize its distribution programs. Selling
expenses increased as a percent of net sales primarily as a result of increased
advertising and promotional activities and increased brokerage commissions
related to the increase in branded specialty products. General and
administrative expenses remained relatively flat as compared to 1994.
The Company's operating income during the second quarter of 1995 was $5.4
million, an increase of 19.8% from operating income for the second quarter of
1994 of approximately $4.5 million. For the first six months, 1995 operating
income was $9.8 million, an increase of 16.5% from 1994 operating income of
$8.4 million. The increase in operating income from like periods in 1994 was
the result of increased sales of branded products which contribute higher
operating margins.
For the second quarter, interest expense declined by 9.5% from $1.1
million in 1994 to $1.0 million in 1995. For the first six months, interest
expense declined 8.5%. The decrease in 1995 resulted from lower debt levels
offset by higher average interest rates on the Company's debt.

10
The Company recorded net income from continuing operations of $2.8 million
and $5.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 1995,
respectively, compared to $2.5 million and $4.3 million for the comparable
periods of 1994. The improved profitability was primarily the result of higher
branded product sales and higher gross margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by continuing operations was $10.7 million during the first
six months of 1995 compared to cash provided by continuing operations of $12.9
million during the first six months of 1994. The sources of cash during the
first six months of 1995 were the $10.7 million provided by continuing
operations, $.3 million provided from dividends on the Preferred Stock, $3.0
million from the sale of the Preferred Stock, and $.2 million from the exercise
of stock options. These sources of cash were utilized to pay down debt of $8.9
million, to provide for capital and other expenditures of $5.0 million, and to
provide for an increase in cash balances of $.3 million.
Capital expenditures during the first six months of 1995 were spent
primarily on equipment additions for increased operating efficiencies. As of
the end of the second quarter of 1995, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants and financial ratios contained in its Senior Credit Agreement. Based
upon the Company's projections for the remainder of 1995, management does not
anticipate any violation of the financial covenants contained in its Senior
Credit Agreement.
At June 30, 1995 the Company had approximately $16.7 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, debt service requirements, potential stock repurchases, and capital
expenditures for the foreseeable future.
Financing
As of June 30, 1995, the Company's Senior Credit Agreement consisted of a
$97.0 million term loan and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility. As of
June 30, 1995, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and
approximately $8.3 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 $48 million in cash after working capital
adjustments, and $3.0 million of 9% Series A Preferred Stock. Following the
application of the cash proceeds on April 13, 1994, the Company had no revolver
balance outstanding and had a remaining term loan balance of approximately
$64.2 million. The Company made additional term loan principal payments during
the year ended December 31, 1994, and during the three months ended March 31,
1995 of approximately $11.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The
Company also paid its scheduled principal payment of $2.0 million during the
second quarter of 1995. The remaining amortization schedule for the term loan
is as follows:
