NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Thousands)
1. The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended July
27, 2002 and July 28, 2001 are unaudited; in the opinion of the Company such
unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which
comprise only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of such periods. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended July 27, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations to be expected for the year ending January 25, 2003. The consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes for the years ended in January 2002
and 2001 included in the Company's January 26, 2002 Annual Report to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.
2. The provision for income taxes is based on pre-tax income for financial
statement purposes with an appropriate deferred tax provision to give effect to
changes in temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. The temporary differences arise principally from
postretirement benefits, depreciation and other employee benefits.
3. Basic and diluted earnings per share are presented for each period in which a
statement of operations is presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing income less preferred stock dividends by the weighted average shares
actually outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the
potentially dilutive effect of shares issuable under the employee stock purchase
and incentive stock option plans.
The following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted
earnings per share for the three months ended July 27, 2002 and July 28, 2001:

4. Included in the long-term debt caption on the balance sheet are various
senior notes. The note agreements relating thereto contain provisions which,
among other things require maintenance of certain financial ratios related to
levels of indebtedness, minimum net worth and interest coverage levels. The
covenants limit certain types of payments including dividends, capital
expenditures, intercompany indebtedness and letters of credit. Under the
provisions of the amended note agreements, at July 27, 2002, the company was
able to declare dividends of up to $375 per quarter.

6. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "goodwill and other Intangible Assets"
("SFAS 142"). We adopted SFAS 142 effective January 27, 2002. Under this
standard, amortization of goodwill and certain intangible assets, including
certain intangibles recorded as a result of past business combinations, is to be
discontinued upon adoption of SFAS 142. The new standard requires that goodwill
and intangible assets be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company
performed the impairment test in the second fiscal quarter of 2002 and the
analysis indicated there is no impairment.
The following is a reconciliation assuming goodwill and other intangible assets
had been accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 in the six
months ended July 28, 2001:

Quarterly Review
Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended July 27, 2002 decreased $8,189
over the same period a year ago. Sales through Consumer channels were 3.3%
higher than the same period last year due to a strong quarter in the Encore
supermarket division. Sales in foodservice markets decreased 15.0% over the
second quarter of 2001 as the airline and hotel industries continue to be soft.
Domestic foodservice sales totaled 44.8% of the Company's sales in the current
quarter. During the same period, International sales decreased by 3.5%. The
International division accounted for 17.9% of the Company's total second quarter
sales.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 33.5% in the second quarter of
2002 as compared to 35.0% for the same period of 2001. The decrease in gross
margin this quarter is due to unfavorable factory variances as the Company's
manufacturing plants operated at a lower capacity due to reduced demand.
Total operating expenses decreased by $2,482, or 7.3%, from the same quarter
last year. This decrease is attributable to the reduction of goodwill
amortization of $851, in accordance with the adoption of FAS #142, and continued
efforts to reduce operating costs and integrate the operations of the three
companies acquired in mid 2000. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses
remained essentially flat with the same quarter last year at 28.5% compared to
28.6%.
Other income was $2,638 for the quarter as compared to $672 for the second
quarter of 2001 (See Note 7).
Interest expense, prior to capitalized interest, was $3,819 for the quarter
ended July 27, 2002, a decrease of $2,246 from the same period last year.
This decrease is due to significantly lower average borrowings and lower
prevailing interest rates throughout the current quarter.

Year to date review
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 27, 2002 decreased $19,988
over the same period a year ago, reflecting continuing softness in the overall
economy. Year to date, sales of consumer products have declined less than 1%
over the same period last year due to a strong first half in the Encore
supermarket division, which increased 68.5% over the first six months of 2001.
All other Consumer channels were down a combined 6.6% in that same period.
Foodservice sales, which represent 44.9% of the Company's total 2002 sales to
date, decreased $14,515, or 12.5%, from the same period last year. International
sales decreased $4,817, or 11.3% from the six months ended July 28, 2001. Sales
in the International division represent 16.6% of the Company's total through six
months of 2002.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the first six months of the
current year was 33.0% as compared to 33.8% for the same period of 2001. The low
gross margin in both 2002 and 2001 is primarily the result of unfavorable
factory variances as the Company's manufacturing plants operated at a lower
capacity due to reduced demand.
Total operating expenses decreased by $5,006, or 7.4%, compared to the first six
months of the prior year. This decrease is attributable to the reduction of
goodwill amortization of $1,732, in accordance with the adoption of FAS #142,
and continued efforts to reduce operating costs and integrate the operations of
the three companies acquired in mid 2000. As a percentage of sales, operating
expenses were 27.9% in the current year to date, compared to 27.7% in 2001.
Other income for the period was $3,004 compared to $534 for the six months ended
July 28, 2001 (See Note 7).
Interest expense, prior to capitalized interest, was $7,931 for the six months
ended July 27, 2002, a decrease of $5,346 from the same period in 2001. This
decrease is due to significantly lower average borrowings and lower prevailing
interest rates throughout the current year.

Liquidity & Financial Resources
A prime objective of the Company since mid-2000 has been to strengthen its
balance sheet and reduce debt. During the first half of 2002, continued progress
was made toward these goals. Debt was reduced by approximately $28,000 in the
six-month period. Cash flow generated from operations for the six months ended
July 27, 2002 was $14,219, as compared to $12,139 for the same period in 2001.
During the first half of 2002, the Company received approximately $8,000 from
the sale of marketable equity securities. These proceeds were directly applied
to pay down debt. The Company spent approximately $4,400 in the first six months
on capital projects focused primarily on its manufacturing facilities. Capital
spending for the remaining six months of the fiscal year is anticipated to be
approximately $4,600.
Included in the long-term debt caption on the balance sheet are various
senior notes. The note agreements relating thereto contain provisions which,
among other things require maintenance of certain financial ratios related to
levels of indebtedness, minimum net worth and interest coverage levels. The
covenants limit certain types of payments including dividends, capital
expenditures, intercompany indebtedness and letters of credit. Under the
provisions of the amended note agreements, at July 27, 2002, the Company was
able to declare dividends of $375 per quarter.
Management believes there is sufficient liquidity to support the Company's
ongoing funding requirements from future operations as well as the unused bank
lines of credit of $51 million. Working capital was $175,070 as of July 27,
2002.
