May and Fanny Farmer brand candies in over 300 Company-operated stores and in
approximately 8,000 third-party grocery stores, drug stores and independent

quantity order, mail order and fundraising programs. The Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Fannie May Holdings, Inc.
The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

<PAGE>
4. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax
expense computed by applying the United States federal income tax rate due
to the benefit of the net operating losses that were not recognized in
prior periods.
5. ACQUISITION
On December 7, 1998, the Company acquired Sweet Factory Group, Inc. ("Sweet
Factory") for $18 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $10
million of indebtedness and other obligations of Sweet Factory pursuant to
the merger of Sweet Factory Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company ("Acquisition Corp."), with and into Sweet Factory (the
"Acquisition"). The Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization dated as of November 24, 1998 by and among the
Company, Acquisition Corp., Sweet Factory, Sweet Factory, Inc., SF Candy
Company, SF Properties, Inc. and certain stockholders of Sweet Factory. The
Company funded the Acquisition through the issuance of $30 million of
senior secured debt. Sweet Factory is a bulk candy retailer with 256 stores
in 36 states. This transaction will be accounted for as a purchase.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 28, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER
29, 1997
NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended November 28, 1998 were
$29.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 9.1%, from $27.2 million for
the three months ended November 29, 1997. Company-Operated Retail(1) sales
were $16.1 million for the three months ended November 28, 1998, a decrease
of $0.1 million, or 0.4%, from $16.2 million for the three months ended
November 29, 1997. This decrease was primarily a result of a decline in same
store sales of 0.2%, partially offset by seven additional Company-operated
stores being open at November 28, 1998 compared to November 29, 1997. For the
three months ended November 28, 1998, Third-Party Retail(2) sales were $8.0
million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 31.7%, from $6.1 million for the
three months ended November 29, 1997. This increase reflects the continued
results of management's strategy to expand Third-Party Retail sales into new
markets, including the launch in October 1998 of the Company's Specialty
Markets Hallmark line. For the three months ended November 28, 1998,
Non-Retail(3) sales were $5.6 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 12.7%,
from $4.9 million for the three months ended November 29, 1997. The increase
was primarily a result of growth in the fundraising boxed chocolate business.
Pounds sold for the three months ended November 28, 1998 were 3.3 million, an
increase of 0.3 million, or 10.2%, from 3.0 million pounds sold for the three
months ended November 29, 1997. The growth in pounds sold was due to an
increase in pounds sold in the Company's Third-Party Retail and Non-Retail
channels.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended November 28, 1998 was
$17.2 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 4.0%, from $16.6 million for the
three months ended November 29, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 58.1% for the three months ended November 28, 1998 from 61.0% for
the three months ended November 29, 1997. This decrease in gross margin was due
to the continuing shift from Company-Operated Retail sales to lower margin
Third-Party Retail sales.
-6-
<PAGE>
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. SG&A expenses were $15.6 million
for the three months ended November 28, 1998, an increase of $0.2 million, or
1.2%, from $15.5 million for the three months ended November 29, 1997. This
increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in (i) Third-Party
Retail operating expenses resulting from growth of the Specialty Markets
Hallmark line and (ii) Non-Retail operating expenses resulting from growth in
the fundraising boxed chocolate business. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A
expenses decreased to 52.8% for the three months ended November 28, 1998 from
56.9% for the three months ended November 29, 1997 as the Company was able to
leverage its costs against higher net sales.
EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and
amortization (EBITDA) was $1.5 million for the three months ended November 28,
1998, an increase of $0.4 million or 38.6%, from $1.1 million for the three
months ended November 29, 1997. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 4.9%
for the three months ended November 28, 1998 as compared to 3.9% for the three
months ended November 29, 1997.
OPERATING LOSS. Operating loss was $0.1 million for the three months ended
November 28, 1998, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 75.7%, from a loss of $0.6
million for the three months ended November 29, 1997. Operating loss decreased
as a result of the increase in net sales and gross profit.
NET LOSS. Net loss was $2.6 million for the three months ended November 28,
1998, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 16.6%, from $3.1 million for the three
months ended November 29, 1997.
- -----------------------------
(1) Company-Operated Retail includes sale of Company branded products
through Company-operated Fannie May and Fanny Farmer stores.
(2) Third-Party Retail includes sale of Company branded products through
grocery stores, drug stores and other independent retailers that
purchase Company branded products at wholesale pricing for resale to
the consumer.
(3) Non-Retail includes sale of Company branded products through the
Company's quantity order, mail order and fundraising programs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net loss was $2.6 million for the three months ended November 28, 1998
compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended November 29, 1997. Net loss
included noncash depreciation and amortization charges of $1.6 million for the
three months ended on each of November 28, 1998 and November 29, 1997. Net cash
used in operating activities was $4.4 million for the three months ended
November 28, 1998 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended November
29, 1997.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $0.9 million for the
three months ended November 28, 1998 from $1.3 million for the three months
ended November 29, 1997. The decrease in capital expenditures was due to a
timing difference as it relates to spending.
As of November 28, 1998, the Company had $20 million available for
borrowings under a $20 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
which matures on July 1, 2000. As of November 28, 1998, the Company had
outstanding $100 million of 10.25% senior secured notes due July 1, 2004.
-7-
<PAGE>
The Company believes that available cash flow, together with cash on the
Company's balance sheet and available borrowings under the Credit Facility, will
provide sufficient funds to meet the Company's debt service obligations,
projected capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
In July 1996, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue 96-14, Accounting for the Costs
Associated with Modifying Computer Software for the Year 2000, which provides
that costs associated with modifying computer software for the year 2000 be
expensed as incurred.
The Company has surveyed substantially all of its computer systems and
is in the process of contacting suppliers and consultants to address year
2000 issues for the software and hardware used by the Company. The Company
currently is in the process of upgrading and improving its internal computer
systems, which work is expected to be completed by August 1999. Following
completion of this work and based on the representations and warranties of
the Company's suppliers and consultants, the Company's computer systems are
expected to be year 2000 compliant. The Company does not believe that the
costs associated with making its computer systems year 2000 compliant will be
material. However, if the Company's systems or the systems of other companies
on whose services the Company depends or with whom the Company's systems
interfaces are not year 2000 compliant, it could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operation and financial condition.
