Savings Plan In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits, with fund information, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits, with fund information, present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits, with fund information, of the Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. Savings Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits, with fund information, for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in Schedules I and V is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required by ERISA. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedules I and V and the fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP San Francisco, California May 29, 1998 -1- 4 DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC.

SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following brief description of the Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general informational purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information. GENERAL The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan containing a cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan benefits participating employees of Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). Effective October 1, 1997, the Plan is administered by the Plan's Administrative Committee (the Committee) and all investments and cash are held by Charles Schwab Trust Company (the Trustee). Schwab Retirement Plan Services provides record keeping services for the Plan. Prior to October 1, 1997, all investments and cash were held by Imperial Trust Company, while Watson Wyatt provided record keeping and consultation services and an investment manager provided investment advisory services for certain of the funds. The Plan became effective January 1, 1983 and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ELIGIBILITY All employees, other than individuals employed under a collective bargaining agreement which does not provide for participation in the Plan, are eligible to participate in the Plan on the next "entry date" coinciding with or following their commencement date of employment. The entry dates defined by the Plan are January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each calendar year. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS In order to participate in the Plan, each participant is required to contribute at least 2% of the compensation received from the Company; however, any participant may elect to contribute an additional amount up to 10% of the participant's compensation within the maximum allowable amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. At all times, participants will be fully vested in their contributions adjusted for attributed income, gains, losses and expenses. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS The Plan provides that the Company may make discretionary employer matching contributions, subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors. Discretionary employer matching contributions are made to participants' accounts equal to a percentage of each eligible participant's employee contribution. For eligible participants who have ten or more years of service as of the last day of the Plan year, the percentage of employee contributions matched is twice that of eligible participants with fewer than ten years of service. An eligible participant is defined as an eligible employee who was employed by the Company during the Plan year or who retired, died or was disabled during the Plan year. During 1997 and 1996, $182,555 and $134,612, respectively, of employer matching contributions were forfeited by terminated employees before those amounts became vested. Such forfeited amounts were used to reduce employer matching contributions for the corresponding year and were allocated as of the last day of the year to the matching accounts of eligible participants. -6- 9 DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC. SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may authorize the Trustee to accept from any participant a rollover contribution from another tax-qualified plan, provided the contribution is made within 60 days after receipt of the eligible rollover distribution by the participant from such other tax-qualified plan. Amounts consisting of after-tax employee contributions are not allowed as rollover contributions. The Plan will establish and maintain separate accounts for all rollover contributions. At all times, the participant will be fully vested in his rollover account, adjusted for attributed income, gains, losses and expenses. Cash benefits paid from rollover accounts will be paid in the same manner as other benefits under the Plan. TRANSFER OF ASSETS FROM MERGED PLAN During 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 50.3% of the outstanding common stock of M-K-D Distributors, Inc. (M-K-D). Effective April 1, 1997, the M-K-D 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (M-K-D Plan) was merged with the Plan. In conjunction with this merger, $3,276,901 from the M-K-D Plan was transferred to the Plan on that date. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT VALUATION Each participant's account is valued at the last quoted sales price of each business day, including the last business day of the Plan year. The valuation is based on all contributions, withdrawals, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses since the previous business day. PLAN BENEFITS Upon retirement, death or permanent disability, participants are entitled to an amount equal to 100% of their salary deferral, rollover and Company accounts. In the event of termination prior to retirement, participants will receive the final balances in their salary deferral and rollover accounts plus the vested portion of the Company account to which they are entitled. A salary deferral account consists of the portion of a participant's account attributable to the participant's employee contributions and the related investment income; a rollover account consists of the portion of a participant's account attributable to the participant's rollover contributions and the related investment income; and a Company account consists of the portion of a participant's account attributable to Company contributions and the related investment income. The Plan has a flexible investment policy in which the participant can choose to invest his or her account balance in one or all of a variety of investment funds. The participant's accounts are credited for the return on his investment in proportion to his investment in the respective fund within the Plan. Investment options in the Plan include seven funds: a short-term investment fund, a bond fund, a balanced fund, an equity fund, an international equity fund, a stock fund (comprised of the Company's common stock) and an S&P 500 fund. VESTING After completion of two years of service, participants are entitled to twenty percent (20%) of the final balance of their Company account. For each full year of service thereafter, participants vest an additional fifteen percent (15%) of their Company account balance and are fully vested after seven years. A participant earns one year of service for each year commencing on or after January 1, 1976 -7- 10 DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC. SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS in which the participant has worked at least 1,000 hours. If a participant's service is less than two years and ends before retirement, death, or permanent disability, the entire Company account will be forfeited. PARTICIPANT LOANS The Plan has a participant loan program as allowed by existing Plan provisions. Participants may borrow a portion of their vested accounts, subject to the terms set forth in the Plan and the limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. Participant loans, which bear interest at the prime rate plus 2%, are due within five years and are secured by the participant's interest in the balance of his or her account. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME The Plan's assets are valued at the last quoted sales price of each business day including the last business day of the Plan year. Realized gains or losses on investments sold are recorded as the difference between the proceeds received upon sale and the market value of the investments at the beginning of the year or cost if acquired during the year. In accordance with the Plan's policy of stating investments at market value, net unrealized gains or losses for the period are included in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information, in the period during which the market value change occurs. EXPENSES OF THE PLAN The expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are charged to the Plan by the Trustee if they are not paid by the Company. BENEFIT PAYMENTS AND LOANS MADE Benefits to terminated participants and loan repayments for terminated participants are recorded as a deduction from net assets when paid in accordance with guidance issued for accounting and disclosure by employee benefit plans. Loans made and loan repayments for active participants are recorded as transfers in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information. During 1997 and 1996, loans made totaled $698,895 and $854,530, respectively. During 1997 and 1996, loan repayments totaled $528,638 and $403,162, respectively. -8- 11 DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC.

PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan. In the event the Plan is terminated, participants' accounts shall become nonforfeitable and the net assets shall be allocated to each participant to provide benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 4044 of ERISA. 5. TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN In January 1997, the Committee received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service as to the qualified status of the Plan. The Committee is of the opinion that the Plan fulfills the requirements of a qualified Plan and that the trust which forms a part of the Plan is not subject to tax. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been provided. -9- 12 DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC.
