      with generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include
      amounts based on judgments and estimates made by management. Actual
      results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when

      trade and promotion allowances, coupon redemptions, depreciation and
      amortization, stock option compensation, deferred income taxes and tax
      valuation allowances, pension and post-retirement benefits, restructuring

      grocery wholesalers and distributors, grocery stores and supermarkets,

      charges, and administrative costs for salaries, insurance and employee
      benefits, to its Branded Products segment, and to its Private Label and
      Foodservice segment based on a percentage of net sales.

5.   ACQUISITIONS

     On July 19, 1999, the Company, through its subsidiary Bumble Bee Seafoods,
     Inc., acquired the manufacturing, sales distribution and marketing
     operations of Louis Kemp from Tyson Foods, Inc. for $68,792, including
     transaction fees. The Company financed this acquisition with borrowings
     under its Senior Bank Facilities. Louis Kemp manufactures and sells
     refrigerated and frozen surimi products. Surimi-based products are made
     from North Pacific ocean pollack and whiting fish meats. These products are
     primarily sold under the tradename Louis Kemp and other tradenames such as
     Captain Jac(R), SeaFest(R) and Pacific Mate(R).

     On January 19, 1999, the Company, through its subsidiary Bumble Bee
     Seafoods, Inc., acquired the Clover Leaf and Paramount canned seafood
     brands and business of British Columbia Packers ("Clover Leaf/Paramount
     brands") from George Weston Ltd. of Canada for a total purchase price of
     $40,394, including transaction fees. The acquisition was funded with
     borrowings under the Company's Senior Bank Facilities and cash on hand.

     The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired for the above
     acquisitions is amortized over 40 years for identifiable intangibles and
     for goodwill. These acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase
     method of accounting, and the operating results of the acquired companies
     have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates
     of acquisition. The information below includes non-cash investing and
     financing activities supplemental to the consolidated statements of cash
     flows. A summary of the excess of cost over fair value of net assets
     acquired resulting from purchase price allocations for the 1999
     acquisitions is as follows:

8.   GUARANTOR FINANCIAL DATA

     The Company's Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally
     guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiary guarantors on a joint and
     several basis. The Company has not presented separate financial statements
     and other disclosures concerning each of the subsidiary guarantors because
     management has determined that such information is not material to the
     holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes. The financial information for
     2000 reflects the corporate re-organization, resulting from the Company's
     tax restructuring, effective January 1, 2000. Certain intercompany sales
     transactions between the parent and guarantor subsidiaries have been
     eliminated. Presented below is consolidating financial information
     including summarized combined financial information of the subsidiary
     guarantors:

9.   IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
     Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition", which provides
     guidelines in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected
     revenue recognition issues. The SAB is effective in the fourth fiscal
     quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999, or as of October
     1, 2000 in the Company's case. The Company does not expect this statement
     to have a material impact on its financial statements.

     In May 2000 and July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued
     guidance on how to classify certain revenues and costs in a company's
     financial statements. EITF No. 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling
     Revenues and Costs" requires that companies classify all amounts billed to
     customers related to shipping and handling cost as revenue. This statement
     will be effective in the fourth quarter of 2000 and is not expected to have
     any effect on the financial statements. EITF No. 00-14 "Accounting for
     Coupons, Rebates and Discounts" requires that manufacturing companies
     classify these costs as a reduction in net sales rather than as a marketing
     expense. This statement will also be effective in the fourth quarter of
     2000 and is not expected to have a material effect on the financial
     statements. It will result in a reduction of marketing expense and net
     sales but will be neutral to overall net income.

     In June 1998, SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities", was issued to establish standards for accounting for
     derivatives and hedging activities and supersedes and amends a number of
     existing standards. This statement requires all derivatives to be
     recognized in the statement of financial position as either assets or
     liabilities and measured at fair value. In addition, all hedging
     relationships must be designated, reassessed and documented pursuant to the
     provisions of SFAS 133. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, "Deferral of the
     effective date of SFAS 133", is effective for fiscal years beginning after
     June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this
     statement will have on its financial statements.

11.   RESTRUCTURING

      In September 1998, in conjunction with management's plan to reduce costs
      and improve operational efficiencies, the Company recorded a restructuring
      charge of $118.1 million ($75.3 million after tax). The principal actions
      in the restructuring plan involved the closure of the Vacaville,
      California and Clearfield, Utah production facilities and the related
      impact of the transfer of production to other facilities, mainly Milton,
      Pennsylvania, and the write-down of goodwill associated with the Campfire
      crisp rice snack bar brand and the Polaner fruit spreads brand. The
      Polaner business was subsequently sold (Note 6).

      At June 30, 2000, $2.5 million of restructuring charges remained in other
      accrued liabilities. This amount is comprised of multi-employer pension
      plan settlements and certain other employee benefit related costs.
      Payments totalling $8.6 million have been made to date, including $0.5
      million and $0.7 million for the three months and six months ended June
      30, 2000, respectively.

12.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for
      trading or speculative purposes, nor is the Company a party to leveraged
      derivatives. In accordance with the Senior Bank Facilities, the Company is
      required to enter into interest rate protection agreements to the extent
      necessary to provide that, when combined with the Company's Senior
      Subordinated Notes, at least 50% of the Company's aggregate indebtedness,
      excluding the revolving credit facility, is subject to either fixed
      interest rates or interest rate protection. At June 30, 2000, more than
      50% of the Company's aggregate indebtedness, excluding the revolving
      credit facility, is subject to such protection.

      Under these agreements the Company agrees to exchange, at specified
      intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts
      based on agreed upon notional principal amounts. The notional amounts of
      interest rate agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or
      received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. In
      accordance with the interest rate agreements, the measurement of 3 month
      LIBOR and 6 month LIBOR, respectively, occurs on the first day of each
      calculation period. For interest rate instruments that effectively hedge
      interest rate exposures, the net cash amounts paid or received on the
      agreements are accrued as incurred and recognized as an adjustment to
      interest expense.

      The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by
      the other parties to the interest rate swap agreements. All counterparties
      are at least A rated by Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Accordingly, the
      Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

13.   OTHER EVENTS

      On June 23, 2000, ConAgra signed a definitive agreement to acquire
      International Home Foods, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.9
      billion, including the assumption of $1.3 billion in debt. International
      Home Foods shareholders will receive $22 per share, half of which will be
      paid in cash and half of which will be paid in ConAgra stock. The stock
      portion of the consideration will be determined by dividing $11 by an
      average of ConAgra stock price for a fixed period prior to the closing,
      but will be no more than .61111 shares nor less than .50 shares for each
      International Home Foods share. The sale, which is subject to approval by
      International Home Foods shareholders, regulatory approvals, and other
      customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the third quarter of
      calendar 2000. A special meeting of shareholders is scheduled for August
      22, 2000 to vote on the proposed merger.

      A Registration Statement on Form S-4 has been filed with the Securities
      and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed merger. It
      contains a proxy statement/ prospectus with information about ConAgra,
      International Home Foods, the sale, and about persons soliciting proxies
      in the sale, including officers and directors of International Home Foods,
      and their interest in the sale. C.Dean Metropoulos, International Home
      Foods chairman and chief executive officer and certain investment
      partnerships controlled by Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, holders
      of an aggregate of approximately 43% of the International Home Foods
      shares, have entered into agreements to vote for the merger.

                     Management's Discussion And Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

NET SALES - The Company's net sales were $530.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $18.1 million or 3.5%, from the comparable
1999 quarter. Approximately $25.7 million of the increase was related to sales
of Louis Kemp, which was acquired in July 1999 and was not reflected in the 1999
amounts. Excluding the aforementioned, declines related to Seafood ($9.6
million) and All Other ($6.9 million) were partially offset by increases in the
Company's Branded Products ($4.3 million) and Private Label and Food Service
($4.7 million) segments. (See "Results by Segment").

The Company's net sales were $1,092.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000, an increase of $65.3 million or 6.4%, from the comparable 1999 period.
Approximately $51.2 million of the increase was related to sales of companies
acquired during 1999 (Clover Leaf/Paramount and Louis Kemp), which were not
fully reflected in the 1999 amounts, offset by $5.0 million of lower sales due
to the sale of Polaner in February 1999. The remaining $19.0 million increase
primarily reflects increases in sales of Branded Products ($18.9 million) and
Private Label and Foodservice ($5.4 million). Excluding acquisitions and the
divestiture, the increase in All Other ($2.5 million) is offset by Seafood's
decrease ($7.7 million). (See "Results by Segment").

COST OF GOODS SOLD - Cost of goods sold was $270.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $272.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
decreased to 51.0% from 53.1% in 1999. The improvement in cost of goods sold as
a percentage of net sales primarily is due to the savings associated with the
Company's previously announced restructuring program, lower purchasing costs,
continued improvement in operating efficiencies and product mix.

Cost of goods sold was $563.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $552.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Expressed as
a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 51.6% from 53.8% in
1999. Excluding the results of the acquired and divested businesses during 1999,
cost of goods sold declined to 50.5% of net sales from 52.1% in 1999. The
improvement in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales primarily is due
to the savings associated with the Company's previously announced restructuring
program, lower purchasing costs, continued improvement in operating efficiencies
and product mix.

MARKETING EXPENSES - Marketing expenses increased by $8.5 million to $120.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $111.5 million in 1999.
Expressed as a percentage of net sales, marketing expenses increased to 22.6%
from 21.8% from the comparable 1999 period. The increase was primarily
attributable to Seafood ($5.4 million), of which $2.7 million relates to Louis
Kemp which was not reflected in 1999, and Ro*Tel ($2.0 million) to support its
increased distribution.

Marketing expenses increased by $27.4 million to $248.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $221.2 million in 1999. Expressed as a
percentage of net sales, marketing expenses increased to 22.8% from 21.5% from
the comparable 1999 period. The increase was primarily attributable to the 1999
acquisitions ($11.0 million), Ro*Tel ($8.0 million) to support its increased
distribution, Libby's canned meats ($4.4 million) and Chef Boyardee ($3.9
million), mostly due to incremental investments in introductory promotion
allowances to launch new products.

                     Management's Discussion And Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("S,G & A") EXPENSES - S,G & A expenses were
$68.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $62.0
million in 1999, an increase of $6.9 million. S,G & A expenses as a percentage
of net sales increased to 13.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
12.1% in the comparable 1999 quarter. The 1999 acquisitions contributed $4.1
million to the increase of S,G & A expenses. The remainder of the increase is
primarily due to higher distribution costs.

S,G & A expenses were $140.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $123.0 million in 1999, an increase of $17.4 million. S,G & A
expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 12.9% in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from 12.0% in the comparable 1999 period. The 1999 acquisitions
contributed $8.0 million to the increase of S,G & A expenses. The remainder of
the increase is primarily due to the increase in sales volume and higher
distribution costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$24.3 million as compared to $24.6 million for the same period in 1999. The
decrease in interest expense is attributable to lower average outstanding debt
levels.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $49.3 million as
compared to $50.4 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease in interest
expense is attributable to lower average outstanding debt levels partially
offset by higher interest rates.

GAIN ON SALE OF BUSINESS - On February 5, 1999 the Company sold its Polaner
fruit spreads and spices business to B&G Foods, Inc. for $30.0 million in cash,
resulting in a gain of $15.8 million ($9.6 million, net of tax, or $0.13 per
diluted share).

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - Income taxes increased to $17.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $16.7 million in the comparable 1999
quarter due to higher income before taxes. Income taxes decreased to $34.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $37.5 million in the
comparable 1999 quarter due to lower income before taxes, as a result of the
gain on sale of business in the prior year. The effective tax rate decreased to
38.0% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 from 39.0% in the
comparable 1999 periods, reflecting the Company's tax restructuring program
which was substantially implemented by December 31, 1999. The Company
anticipates sufficient future income to realize deferred tax assets recorded at
June 30, 2000. In the event management determines that sufficient future taxable
income may not be generated to fully realize the deferred tax assets, the
Company will provide a valuation allowance by a charge to income tax expense in
the period of such determination.

                     Management's Discussion And Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


NET INCOME - For the three month period ended June 30, 2000, net income was
$29.0 million, an increase of $2.9 million over the comparable 1999 period due
to the factors discussed above. Basic earnings per share were $0.39 and $0.36
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and diluted
earnings per share were $0.38 and $0.34 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, net income was $55.5 million, a
decrease of $3.1 million over the comparable 1999 period, primarily reflecting
the gain on sale of business ($9.6 million net of tax or $0.13 per share) in
1999 offset by the factors discussed above. Basic earnings per share were $0.75
and $0.80 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
diluted earnings per share were $0.73 and $0.77 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

RESULTS BY SEGMENT - The Company has three reportable business segments -
Branded Products, Seafood and Private Label and Foodservice. Refer to Footnote 4
on page 7 for further details.

BRANDED PRODUCTS - The Branded Products segment net sales increased $4.3
million, or 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable
1999 period. This increase is primarily due to increased sales of Chef Boyardee
($3.8 million), Ro*Tel ($1.6 million) and Libby's canned meats ($1.1 million),
partially offset by lower sales of Crunch 'n Munch ($2.2 million).

Sales of the Chef Boyardee brand increased approximately 3.8% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable 1999 period. Canned pasta sales
increased 6.3% partially offset by a decline in Pizza Kits and Dinners, while
microwave was flat. The increase in sales of canned pasta is due to the national
launch of four new items (two new offerings in each of the Homestyle and
Overstuffed product lines). Libby's canned meat sales increased 4.1%, primarily
due to increased distribution of several new products. Ro*Tel salsa sales
increased as distribution expanded. Crunch 'n Munch experienced a slower than
anticipated roll-out of the direct store delivery ("DSD") program which resulted
in lower sales.

The Branded Products segment operating income increased $2.6 million largely
reflecting the factors discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, segment
operating income increased to 19.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2000
from 18.4% for the same period in 1999.

The Branded Products segment net sales increased $18.9 million, or 4.5% for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable 1999 period. This increase
is primarily due to increased sales of Chef Boyardee ($18.0 million), Libby's
canned meats ($4.5 million), Ro*Tel ($3.1 million), partially offset by lower
sales of Crunch 'n Munch ($4.3 million) and Campfire marshmallows ($1.9
million).

Results by Segment (continued)

BRANDED PRODUCTS
Sales of the Chef Boyardee brand increased approximately 8.7% for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 versus the comparable 1999 period. Canned pasta sales
increased 11.4% partially offset by a slight decline in microwave and dinners,
while pizza kits were flat. The increase in sales of canned pasta is driven by
new products and a new advertising campaign focusing on mothers and teens.

Libby's canned meat sales increased 9.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
verses the comparable 1999 period, primarily due to increased distribution of
several new products. Ro*Tel salsa also experienced increasing distribution.
Crunch 'n Munch experienced a slower than anticipated roll-out of the direct
store delivery ("DSD") program.

The Branded Products segment operating income increased $4.1 million largely
reflecting the factors discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, segment
operating income increased slightly to 19.0% during the six months ended June
30, 2000 from 18.9% for the same period in 1999.

SEAFOOD - The Seafood segment net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000
increased $16.0 million or 10.4% over the comparable 1999 period, due to the
acquisition of Louis Kemp ($25.7 million), partially offset by decreases in
Bumble Bee sales ($4.3 million) and Clover Leaf/Paramount sales ($5.4 million).
Bumble Bee's sales decline resulted from an industry-wide list price rollback on
light meat tuna, in response to lower raw material costs, and competitive
pricing pressures in the white meat category. Clover Leaf/Paramount's reduction
resulted from the planned exit from the low margin international seafood
business. The Seafood segment operating income increased $1.2 million or 12.1%.
As a percentage of net sales, segment operating income increased from 6.2%
during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 6.3% for the same period in 2000.

The Seafood segment net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$43.5 million or 13.9% over the comparable 1999 period, due to the acquisition
of Louis Kemp ($53.2 million), offset by decreases in Bumble Bee sales ($7.7
million) and Clover Leaf/Paramount sales ($2.1 million). Bumble Bee's sales
decline resulted from an industry-wide list price rollback on light meat tuna,
in response to lower raw material costs, and competitive pricing pressures in
the white meat category. Clover Leaf/Paramount's reduction resulted from the
planned exit from the low margin international seafood business. The segment
operating income increased $4.4 million or 22.5%, reflecting the Company's focus
on optimizing seafood profitability, driven by operating efficiencies associated
with the integration of the 1999 acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales,
segment operating income increased from 6.2% during the six months ended June
30, 1999 to 6.7% for the same period in 2000, reflecting the addition of the
higher margin Louis Kemp surimi products.

Results by Segment (continued)

PRIVATE LABEL AND FOODSERVICE - Net sales of the Private Label and Foodservice
segment increased $4.7 million to $75.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000. Segment operating income increased $4.5 million, or 45.8%. As a
percentage of net sales, segment operating income increased from 13.8% during
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 18.9% for the same period in 2000,
primarily reflecting a margin improvement in private label canned pasta.

Net sales of the Private Label and Foodservice segment increased $5.4 million to
$155.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Segment operating income
increased $7.9 million, or 39.3%. As a percentage of net sales, segment
operating income increased from 13.5% during the six months ended June 30, 1999
to 18.2% for the same period in 2000, reflecting a higher mix of high margin
private label canned pasta and operating efficiencies.

The All Other net sales decreased $6.9 million, or 8.9% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, due to a decrease in Puerto Rico ($3.3 million) and a
decline in low-margin third-party contract manufacturing sales ($3.9 million).
Segment operating income decreased only slightly to $7.6 million.

The All Other net sales decreased $2.5 million, or 1.7% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, primarily due to higher sales in Mexico ($6.2 million) and Canada
($1.7 million) offset by a decline in low-margin third-party contract
manufacturing sales ($5.6 million). Also, the Company sold its Polaner business
in February 1999, and accordingly, sales for Polaner decreased $5.0 million as
compared to the comparable 1999 period. Segment operating income decreased
slightly to $13.1 million.

RESTRUCTURING - In September 1998, in conjunction with management's plan to
reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $118.1 million ($75.3 million after tax). The principal
actions in the restructuring plan involved the closure of the Vacaville,
California and Clearfield, Utah production facilities and the related impact of
the transfer of production to other facilities, mainly Milton, Pennsylvania, and
the write-down of goodwill associated with the Campfire crisp rice snack bar
brand and the Polaner fruit spreads brand. The Polaner business was subsequently
sold (Note 6).

At June 30, 2000, $2.5 million of restructuring charges remained in other
accrued liabilities. This amount is comprised of multi-employer pension plan
settlements and certain other employee benefit related costs. Payments totaling
$8.6 million have been made to date, including $0.5 million and $0.7 million for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOWS - Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was $72.7 million, a $22.3 million increase from the comparable
1999 period, due to improvement in working capital levels, primarily accounts
receivable and inventory.

Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$27.2 million compared to $31.5 million for the same period in 1999. Capital
expenditures decreased $0.3 million in 2000. No acquisitions or divestitures
occurred in 2000, however the Company paid $4.1 million relating to a prior
acquisition. In 1999, the Company through its subsidiary, Bumble Bee Seafoods,
Inc., acquired the Clover Leaf/Paramount brands for approximately $38.1 million,
net of cash acquired and received $30.0 million in proceeds from the sale of
Polaner.

Cash used in financing activities was $43.8 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 2000, versus $17.2 million in the comparable 1999 period. In
2000, the Company borrowed $133.1 million from its revolving credit facility and
repaid $125.5 million and $51.5 million under the terms of its revolving credit
facility and its Senior Bank Facilities, respectively. In 1999, the Company
repaid $31.3 million and $40.9 million under the terms of its revolving credit
facility and its Senior Bank Facilities, respectively, and borrowed $45.0
million, of which $13.1 million was to partially fund the Clover Leaf/Paramount
brands acquisition.

The Company is highly leveraged with Senior Bank Facilities that comprise (i) a
$516.5 million Tranche A term loan facility of which $412.3 million is
outstanding at June 30, 2000, maturing in 2004, (ii) a $149.8 million Tranche B
term loan facility of which $149.0 million is outstanding at June 30, 2000,
maturing in 2005, (iii) a $100.0 million Tranche B-1 term loan facility of which
$99.6 million is outstanding at June 30, 2000, maturing in 2006, and (iv) a
$230.0 million revolving credit facility, maturing in 2004 or earlier upon
repayment of the Tranche A term loans. As of June 30, 2000, the outstanding
balance of the Senior Bank Facilities was $746.1 million, which included $85.2
million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In addition to
scheduled periodic repayments aggregating $36.5 million for the remainder of
2000, the Company is also required to make mandatory repayments of the loans
under the Senior Bank Facilities with a portion of its excess cash flow.

The Company also has outstanding $385.0 million of 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2006, without any scheduled repayments of principal prior to maturity,
requiring semi-annual interest payments. In March 2000, the Company repurchased
and immediately retired $15.0 million of Notes, at slightly above par value, the
results of which were not material.

                     Management's Discussion And Analysis of


Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Both the Senior Bank Facilities and the Senior Subordinated Notes contain a
number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability
of the Company to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other
indebtedness or amend other debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on
assets, enter into capital leases, make investments or acquisitions, engage in
mergers or consolidations, make capital expenditures, engage in certain
transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict corporate activities. In
addition, under the Senior Bank Facilities the Company is required to comply
with specified minimum interest coverage, maximum indebtedness to earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and minimum fixed
charge coverage ratios.

Management believes that cash generated from operations and borrowings under the
Senior Bank Facilities will be sufficient to satisfy working capital
requirements and required capital expenditures. Further expansion of the
business through acquisitions may require the Company to incur additional
indebtedness or issue equity securities. There can be no assurance that
additional debt or equity will be available to the Company, or if available,
will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading
or speculative purposes, nor is the Company a party to leveraged derivatives. In
accordance with the Senior Bank Facilities, the Company is required to enter
into interest rate protection agreements to the extent necessary to provide
that, when combined with the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes, at least 50%
of the Company's aggregate indebtedness, excluding the revolving credit
facility, is subject to either fixed interest rates or interest rate protection.
At June 30, 2000, more than 50% of the Company's aggregate indebtedness,
excluding the revolving credit facility, is subject to such protection.

Under these agreements the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals,
the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts based on agreed upon
notional principal amounts. The notional amounts of interest rate agreements are
used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount
of exposure to credit loss. In accordance with the interest rate agreements, the
measurement of 3 month LIBOR and 6 month LIBOR, respectively, occurs on the
first day of each calculation period. For interest rate instruments that
effectively hedge interest rate exposures, the net cash amounts paid or received
on the agreements are accrued as incurred and recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other parties to the interest rate swap agreements. All counterparties are at
least A rated by Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Accordingly, the Company does
not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition", which provides guidelines in
applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue
recognition issues. The SAB is effective in the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1999, or as of October 1, 2000 in the
Company's case. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material
impact on its financial statements.

In May 2000 and July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued
guidance on how to classify certain revenues and costs in a company's financial
statements. EITF No. 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenues and
Costs" requires that companies classify all amounts billed to customers related
to shipping and handling cost as revenue. This statement will be effective in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and is not expected to have any effect on the
financial statements. EITF No. 00-14 "Accounting for Coupons, Rebates and
Discounts" requires that manufacturing companies classify these costs as a
reduction in net sales rather than as a marketing expense. This statement will
also be effective in the fourth quarter of 2000 and is not expected to have a
material effect on the financial statements. It will result in a reduction of
marketing expense and net sales but will be neutral to overall net income.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)

In June 1998, SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued to establish standards for accounting for derivatives
and hedging activities and supersedes and amends a number of existing standards.
This statement requires all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of
financial position as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.
In addition, all hedging relationships must be designated, reassessed and
documented pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 133. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS
137, "Deferral of the effective date of SFAS 133", is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the effect
this statement will have on its financial statements.

OTHER EVENTS

On June 23, 2000, ConAgra signed a definitive agreement to acquire International
Home Foods, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.9 billion, including the
assumption of $1.3 billion in debt. International Home Foods shareholders will
receive $22 per share, half of which will be paid in cash and half of which will
be paid in ConAgra stock. The stock portion of the consideration will be
determined by dividing $11 by an average of ConAgra stock price for a fixed
period prior to the closing, but will be no more than .61111 shares nor less
than .50 shares for each International Home Foods share. The sale, which is
subject to approval by International Home Foods shareholders, regulatory
approvals, and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the
third quarter of calendar 2000. A special meeting of shareholders is scheduled
for August 22, 2000 to vote on the proposed merger.

A Registration Statement on Form S-4 has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed merger. It contains a proxy
statement/prospectus with information about ConAgra, International Home Foods,
the sale, and about persons soliciting proxies in the sale, including officers
and directors of International Home Foods, and their interest in the sale. C.
Dean Metropoulos, International Home Foods Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
and certain investment partnerships controlled by Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst
Incorporated, holders of an aggregate of approximately 43% of the International
Home Foods shares, have entered into agreements to vote for the merger.

INFORMATION ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company may make statements about the trends, future plans and the Company's
prospects. Actual results may differ from those described in such forward
looking statements based on the risks and uncertainties facing the Company,
including but not limited to changes in the economic conditions and changes in
the food products manufacturing industry, possible acquisitions of assets or
business and other factors.
