DOANE PRODUCTS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements of Doane Products Company (the
"Company"), included herein, have not been audited by the Company's independent
accountants. The statements include all adjustments, such as normal recurring
accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results of the Company for the periods
presented. Operating results for the prior year periods include certain
reclassifications to conform with the current year presentation. The statements
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The operating results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an
entire year. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial
statements are the same as those summarized in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
The Company's interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997 (including related exhibits), and the Company's Amendment No. 1 on Form S-3
to Form S-1 Registration Statement (File No. 33-98110) relating to the issuance
of $160,000 principal amount of the Company's 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the
"Senior Notes").
2. Inventories
The composition of inventories at the balance sheet dates was as follows:

3. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party, in the ordinary course of business, to certain claims and
litigation. In management's opinion, the resolution of such matters is not
expected to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

4. Subsequent Events
Senior Credit Facility
Effective April 13, 1998, the Company amended its senior credit facility
pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility"). Under the Senior Credit Facility
funding was increased under the "Term Loan Facility" from the outstanding
balance of $31,795 to $41,794 and a new $7,000 purchase money facility was
created, which may be drawn upon at a later time. The "Revolving Credit
Facility" remains at $25,000. The term of the Senior Credit Facility has been
extended from September 30, 2000 to September 30, 2001. Concurrent with the
extension of the term of the facility, the amortization of the Term Loan
Facility has been extended and quarterly principal payments reduced, initially
from $2,917 to $2,500.
The Company has the option to draw funds at either a Base Rate or LIBOR Rate
plus an Applicable Margin, which margin is determined from a pricing grid
predicated upon the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA. In
general the LIBOR margins have decreased by .375% and the Base Rate margins have
decreased by .5%.
The predecessor agreement required the Company to cause the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Credit and Swing Loans to be less than $7,500 for a
minimum period of 30 consecutive days each fiscal year, which provision,
together with the Excess Cash Flow Recapture provision, has been eliminated.
Additionally, certain financial covenants have been amended consistent with the
extended term of the facility.
Ipes Iberica, S.A. Acquisition
On April 17, 1998 the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Ipes
Iberica, S.A. ("Ipes") for $28.3 million. Ipes is a private label pet food
manufacturer located in Spain with 1997 net sales of $21.1 million. The
transaction was financed through a $20.9 million non recourse facility provided
by the HSBC Investment Bank, Plc. in Spain, and $7.4 million from the Company's
Senior Credit Facility.

</TABLE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased
1.9% to $144.5 million from $141.7 million in the same period in 1997. Pet
food net sales increased 3.2% to $136.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $131.8 million in the same period in 1997. Volume
increases resulted in a 5.0% revenue increase, which was reduced by price
declines of 1.9% primarily for cost plus contracts.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31,
1998 increased 29.0% to $24.5 million from $19.0 million in the same period in
1997. Of this increase, approximately 23.8% resulted from improvements in pet
food margins due to reductions in certain raw material costs, and approximately
4.1% was due to the volume gains described above. The remaining 1.1% was a
result of non pet food products.
Promotion and distribution expense. Promotion and distribution expense
increased 7.0% to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$7.9 million in the same period in 1997. Such increase was due to expenses
resulting from increases in variable sales promotions, incentive discounts, and
brokerage costs on volume gains.
Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased 42.4% to $5.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $4.0 million in the same period in 1997 primarily as a
result of increases in (i) salaries and related fringe benefits, (ii)
professional fees and (iii) amortization and depreciation.
Income from operations. Income from operations for the three months ended March
31, 1998 increased 46.1% to $10.4 million from $7.2 million in the same period
in 1997. Income from operations as a percent of net sales increased to 7.3% for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 5.1% in the same period in 1997 due
to improved pet food margins and volume gains.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased to $5.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.7 million in the same period in 1997
primarily due to an overall reduction in borrowings under the Doane Credit
Facility.
Net income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased to $3.3 million from $1.0 million in the same period in 1997 due to
increased pet food margins and volume gains.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the three month period ended March 31, 1998, cash used in operating
activities was $3.4 million compared to $6.8 million in the same period in 1997,
which was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in net income before non cash
charges. Working capital at both March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 was $37.2
million and the working capital increase for the three month period ended March
31, 1998 was $.3 million less than in the same period in 1997.
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.4 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 which was $2.6 million lower than the same period in
1997. This reduction was due to expenditures for the 1997 Expansion Projects
that exceeded the capital expansion programs in the first quarter of 1998. The
1998 capital expansion programs included the purchase of a building in Clinton,
Oklahoma (in March 1998), which will be refurbished to manufacture dry pet food,
and warehouse expansion projects at two existing facilities.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended March
31, 1998 decreased by $6.0 million from the same period ended in 1997 and was
the direct result of improvements in net income and reductions in capital
expansion programs previously noted.
At March 31, 1998, the Company had borrowing capacity in the amount of $14.4
million under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was net of $1.1 million for
outstanding letters of credit. Long term debt outstanding at March 31, 1998
consisted of $160.0 million Senior Notes, the Term Loan Facility in the amount
of $31.8 million, and Industrial Revenue Bonds in the net amount of $5.7
million.
It is expected that existing manufacturing facilities, notwithstanding the
recent capital expenditures on new and existing facilities, will not be
sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated volume growth for the next several
years. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that additional facilities will be
necessary in order to support continued growth of the Company's business. The
Company has continued to examine alternatives for expanding it's business either
through construction of additional manufacturing capacity or acquisition of
manufacturing assets. Such potential acquisitions could include acquisitions of
operating companies. The Company intends to finance such expansions or
acquisitions with borrowings under existing or expanded credit facilities, or
the issuance of additional equity, depending on the size of the proposed
expansions or acquisitions.
On April 13, 1998 the Company amended and restated the Senior Credit Facility,
which increased the Term Loan Facility borrowings by $10.0 million, and provided
a new Purchase Money Facility of $7.0 million to be drawn at a future date.
Additional changes include; (i) reduction of interest rate margins, (ii)
extension of final maturity, (iii) reduction of quarterly installment amounts,
and (iv) revised schedule of financial covenants.
On April 17, 1998 the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Ipes
Iberica, S.A. ("Ipes") for $28.3 million. Ipes is a private label pet food
manufacturer located in Spain with 1997 net sales of $21.1 million. The
transaction was financed through a $20.9 million non recourse facility provided
by the HSBC Investment Bank, Plc. in Spain, and $7.4 million from the Company's
Senior Credit Facility.
