SKOLNIKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1999
(a) The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals
and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
fairly state the financial position as of April 30, 1999 and the operating
results and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results that may be expected for the entire year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's July 31, 1998
financial statements and accompanying notes thereto.
(b) At a hearing held in Bankruptcy Court on March 20, 1995, the Company agreed
to an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. The Court confirmed the Plan of Reorganization at the Confirmation
Hearing held on July 10, 1996, at the United States Bankruptcy Court in the
Western District of Oklahoma. The Company raised $1,000,000 by selling 1
million shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan of Reorganization. The
Creditor's Trust received a cash payment of $800,000 and 500,000 shares of
Common Stock. The Company completed all requirements under the Plan of
Reorganization on December 18, 1996. The Court issued a Final Decree in
connection with the Company's Reorganization in Bankruptcy on October 8,
1998.
(c) During fiscal 1998 and the first three quarters of fiscal 1999, the Company
incurred operating losses of $355,944 and $105,273, respectively. In
addition, the Company had a deficit in working capital of $113,697 at July
31, 1998 and $301,477 at April 30, 1999 and a deficit in equity for both
time periods. The significance of the combined losses with the deficits in
working capital and equity raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of
principles applicable to a continuing business. The basis presumes the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary
course of business. The Company's ability to operate as a continuing
business is dependent upon the attainment of future profitable operations
and/or the Company's ability to acquire additional capital or other forms
of financing. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is pursuing new business opportunities, primarily in the
geographic Southwest, with customers in the retail grocery, convenience
store, vending, military, food service, and club store segments. In
addition, new customers are being added for delivery of fresh bread
products within the Arizona and Las Vegas, NV market. While the product
line presently includes bagels, breadsticks, and Italian specialty breads,
a line of upscale, European Artisan breads has been developed and is being
introduced. Management is also considering the opportunity to acquire,
merge, or strategically align with other synergistic baked goods or food
manufacturers for enhanced product offerings, geographic coverage, and
customer leverage.
(d) At April 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $20 million of net
operating loss carryforwards available for both financial statement and
federal income tax purposes. These carryforwards expire through 2018. No
deferred tax asset has been recorded as the realization of the benefit is
in substantial doubt.
5
(e) From March 1995 through April 1999, certain members of the Board of
Directors and four shareholders have loaned the Company $1,291,005. In
connection with these loans, the lenders have been issued warrants to
purchase a total of 4,674,009 shares of Common Stock.

Members of the Board of Directors were issued warrants to purchase
2,100,000 shares at $0.375 and 300,000 shares at $0.10 upon joining the
Board (50% vest immediately and 50% vest two years after grant date). Also,
350,000 warrants have been granted to certain members of management:
200,000 shares at $1.00 and 150,000 shares at $0.375.
Holders of warrants to purchase 7,721,509 shares of Common Stock have
agreed to refrain from exercising their warrants until the Company's
authorized share capital is increased.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB that are not purely
historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, including statements regarding the Company's "expectations",
"anticipation", "intentions", "beliefs", or "strategies" regarding the future.
Forward-looking statements include statements regarding revenue, margins,
expenses, and earnings analysis for fiscal 1999 and thereafter; future products
or product development; the Company's product development strategy; and
liquidity and anticipated cash needs and availability. All forward-looking
statements included in this Report are based on information available to the
Company on the date of this Report, and the Company assumes no obligation to
update any such forward-looking statement. It is important to note that the
Company's actual results could differ materially from those in such
forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially are the factors discussed below under "Basis of Presentation".
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Report.
Fluctuations in annual and quarterly operating results may occur as a result of
certain factors such as the size and timing of customer orders, competition, and
general economic conditions. The customer base is located primarily in Arizona,
which experiences an economic downturn in the hospitality industry during the
hot summer months due to decreased tourism. Because of such fluctuations,
historical results and percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative
of the results for any future period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended April 30, 1999 and 1998
The following table summarizes the operating results of the Company as a
percentage of revenue for the periods indicated.
Three Months Ended
April 30,
------------------

Revenue 100% 100%
Plant operating costs 92% 89%
General and administrative expenses 12% 15%

Operating Loss (5%) (4%)
Interest Expense 7% 6%
--- ---
Net Loss (11%) (10%)
=== ===
REVENUE
Revenue was $517,678 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and $487,431 for the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase of $30,247 or 6% can be attributed to
the continued success of an aggressive sales plan focused on multiple-unit
restaurant locations, retail grocery chain accounts, and club stores.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating Expenses were 92% of sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1999 and
89% for the quarter ended April 30, 1998. As a percentage of sales, operating
expenses increased 3%. The increase is attributable to increases in the cost of
ingredients and cost of distribution due to a larger geographic area and a need
for larger trucks.
7
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses were $64,091 for the quarter ended April 30,
1999 and $74,224 for the quarter ended April 30, 1998, a decrease of $10,133 or
14%. The most significant reason was the reduction in professional services
required.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $35,151 in the quarter ended April 30, 1999, an increase of
$5,351 over the quarter ended April 30, 1998. The increase is attributable to
increased borrowings and higher interest rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 30, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $301,477
compared to $113,697 at July 31, 1998. The increase of $187,780 in the deficit
resulted from an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the
cash purchase of capital equipment.
Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended April 30, 1999
was $4,148 compared to net cash used in operating activities in the nine months
ended April 30, 1998 of $417,897. The most significant reason for this
difference was the extension of credit terms to the Company by its trade
vendors, which provided operating capital thereby increasing net cash provided
by operations. A secondary reason was the reduction in the Company's net loss
for the nine month period ended April 30, 1999.
Net cash used in investing activities was $31,466 in the nine months ended April
30, 1999 compared to $460 for the nine months ended April 30, 1998. This
difference represents the purchase by the Company of an additional proof box in
September 1998.
Due to the deficit in operating cash flows, the Company relied on proceeds from
borrowings in an amount of $20,000 for the nine month period ended April 30,
1999 and $321,000 for the nine month period ended April 30, 1998.
As of April 30, 1999, the Company was in default on all payments on the notes
payable that had matured in an aggregate amount of $20,005. These obligations
have been classified as current on the balance sheet. Furthermore, the Company
was in arrears on dividends on its Preferred Stock in the amount of $705,091
payable in shares of Preferred Stock.
As of April 30, 1999, the Company's sources of external financing remain
limited. The Company does not expect that internal sources of liquidity will
improve until net cash is consistently provided by operating activities, and,
until such time, the Company will rely upon external sources for liquidity. The
Company has not established any lines of credit or any other significant
financing arrangements with any third party lenders. From March 1995 through
April 1999, certain members of the Company's Board of Directors and four
shareholders have provided operating capital in exchange for interest bearing
notes totaling an aggregate amount of $1,291,005 and warrants to purchase an
aggregate amount of 4,674,009 shares of Common Stock. The Company has been able
to secure a high interest capital lease arrangement with an outside lender to
acquire automated packaging equipment. However, due to the high interest rate
and terms combined with tight cash flow, the Company is unwilling to commit to
such a financing arrangement. The Company is investigating other financing
opportunities. To date, the Company has been unable to secure other viable
sources regarding securing working capital, a function of the involuntary
bankruptcy experienced in 1994 and continuing business losses.
The Company's independent accountants have issued an unqualified opinion with an
explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company's financial statements for the
years ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 to reflect recurring losses from operations
and a working capital deficit and deficit in equity that raise substantial doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. See the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 1998, "Part I, Item 1, Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note (c)."

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two-digit entries to represent years in the date code field. These
programs and databases were designed and developed without considering the
impact of the upcoming millennium. Consequently, date sensitive computer
programs may interpret the date "00" as 1900 rather than 2000. If not corrected,
many computer systems could fail or create erroneous results in 2000.
The Company has completed an assessment of all of its internal and external
systems and processes with respect to the "Year 2000" issue. In response to this
assessment, the Company has created a Y2K Task Force to resolve any
non-compliant Year 2000 systems, processes, or other issues. As part of the
process of evaluating the Year 2000 issue, the task force has assessed the
potential impact of Year 2000 failures from vendors and outside parties upon its
business and has determined that all third parties who have a potential material
impact are adequately prepared for the year 2000.
The Company has assessed its information technology systems and believes that it
will be Year 2000 compliant because the Company operates personal computers
linked together with network package software and a server, as opposed to
mainframe computer technology. With the exception of the server, new personal
computers have been purchased in the past year and run on a standard operating
system that is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the software used by the
Company is standard, off-the-shelf applications purchased or upgraded in the
past three years, which also are Year 2000 compliant. The Year 2000 task force
has concluded that it is in the Company's best interest to remove the server
from the network setting and link the remaining personal computers with a
standard network operating system. This final phase of the internal computer
technology systems remediation program is expected to be completed prior to July
31, 1999.
The Company has taken steps to assure that the computer systems of its vendors,
customers, and banks with which the Company utilize electronic data interchange
will be Year 2000 compliant. Such vendors, customers, and banks have assured the
Company that their computer operations will be Year 2000 compliant prior to
December 31, 1999. However, there can be no assurance that computer systems
operated by all third parties with which the Company systems' interface will be
compliant on a timely basis and in that event, the Company may be adversely
affected, although the magnitude of such effect cannot be estimated.
The Company has also determined that its bakery equipment processors are Year
2000 compliant. Bakery equipment evaluated includes ovens, breadstick and bagel
equipment, compressors, and thermostats. None of the equipment was determined to
use date sensitive computer processors.
The cost of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program has not had, and is not
expected to have, a material impact on the Company's results of operations,
financial condition, or liquidity. The Company has not been required to
prematurely replace equipment due to Year 2000 issue, nor has the Company needed
to hire Year 2000 solution providers. Further, the company does not anticipate
the necessity of such expenses in the future. Finally, the Company anticipates
that the cost of ensuring compliance of third parties will be minimal.
The Company anticipates, in its reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario,
that the failure of its customers, suppliers, and utility providers to
adequately address their own Year 2000 issues will cause the Company to
experience delays in receiving payments of invoices from customers, delays in
and/or improper postings of payments made to vendors, and loss of operating
capabilities related to the failure of the utility providers.
The failure of the Company's customers' and vendors' to be Year 2000 compliant
can be minimized by using a supplemental source of communication such as fax and
mail to ensure that invoices and checks are properly processed. The Company
plans to implement such procedures, as they become necessary.
