PIEMONTE FOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 2, 1995

Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Piemonte Foods of Indiana, Inc. and
Origena, Inc. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 2, 1995 and the
related statements of income and cash flows for the six month period then ended
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such
adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.
The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q,
and do not contain certain information included in the company's
annual financial statements and notes.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital improved $226 thousand to $2.1 million for the three months
ending December 2, 1995 compared with the same period last year. Accounts
receivable rose $112 thousand due to a higher level of business with the
United States military. Inventories increased $197 thousand as a result
of new product development.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, capital improvements total $169
thousand versus $312 thousand a year ago. For the year-to-date period,
capital improvements were $719 thousand compared with $831 thousand the
prior year. The largest single capital commitment in fiscal 1996 has been
a loan to the Company's joint venture in Holland, which is expected to
commence operations in late February, 1996.
The Company is is compliance with all restrictive covenants contained in
its debt agreements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended December 2, 1995 Compared to
Quarter Ended November 26, 1994
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $8.0 million versus
$8.5 million last year. Cost of goods sold rose to 81.0% of net sales from
77.6% a year ago. This represents improvement over the first quarter level
of 85.5%, however, it is higher than the 77.6% which was recorded for the
same quarter last year. Results for the most recent quarter were impacted
by higher flour prices which began last June and continued pressure on
packaging costs. The improved gross margin in the second quarter includes
a price increase initiated in September, 1995.
Gross margins continue to be impacted by the loss of a high margin product
packed specifically for a national customer. A change in the customer's
strategic direction eliminated the need for the product.
Continued emphasis on cost restraint and reduction resulted in a $203
thousand reduction in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. SG&A expenses were 18.3% of net
sales for the three months ended December 2, 1995, versus 19.5% a year ago.
The improved gross margin for the second quarter combined with lower
selling, general and administrative expenses contributed to net income of
$19 thousand for the quarter.
Six Months Ended December 2, 1995 Compared to
Six Months Ended November 26, 1994
Net sales for the six months ended December 2, 1995 declined 3% to $14.6
million from $15.1 million the prior year. Higher flour prices and
packaging costs throughout the first half of fiscal 1996 contributed to an
increase of $342 thousand in the cost of goods. As a result, gross margin
was 17.1% for the first two quarters of fiscal 1996 versus 21.8% last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,762,776 or 10.6% lower
than the comparable period a year ago. Year-to-date 1996 results include
a net loss of $204 thousand compared with net income of $111 the prior
year. Weakness which was previously reported in the company's Foodservice
Division was not fully absorbed in the first six months of fiscal 1996.
The company's penetration in Deli and Industrial channels of distribution
continues to improve.
