Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On May 29, 1998, Broughton Foods Company ("Broughton"), an Ohio
corporation, announced that it had consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement dated
May 12, 1998 with all the shareholders of LFD Holding Corp., a Delaware
corporation ("LFD"), pursuant to which Broughton purchased all the issued and
outstanding capital stock of LFD for a cash price of approximately Twenty
Million Dollars ($20,000,000).  The purchase price was distributed as follows:
approximately Nine Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,700,000) to pay
third party debt owed by LFD and approximately Ten Million Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($10,200,000) to the shareholders of LFD.  LFD owns 100% of the capital
stock of London's Farm Dairy, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("London's Farm") of
Port Huron, Michigan.  Upon consummation of such purchase, LFD and London's
Farm became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Broughton and will continue operations
as such.  Broughton utilized its existing line of credit to provide the cash
consideration required by the Stock Purchase Agreement.

         London's Farm processes milk, orange juice and cultured products in a
Port Huron, Michigan facility, and produces ice cream at a Burton, Michigan
plant.

                  Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement


         THIS AMENDMENT (this "Amendment") is dated as of May 30, 1998.

         WHEREAS, the persons party hereto, together with the other
shareholders of LFD Holding Corp. (the "Company"), are parties to a Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of May 12, 1998 (the "Agreement") (capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth
in the Agreement);

         WHEREAS, the Agreement incorrectly described certain unvested shares
of capital stock held by Bela Szigethy and Alan Walther (the "Option Stock
Holders") as unvested options;

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement as set forth
herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements made herein, and of the mutual benefit derived hereby, the parties,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.       References in the Schedule of Sellers to "Unvested Options" shall be
         amended to read "Unvested Common Stock".  All shares of Unvested
         Common Stock shall constitute "Shares" for purposes of the Agreement.

2.       Purchaser and the Option Stock Holders agree that, notwithstanding
         anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the purchase price for each
         share of Unvested Common Stock shall be $0.01 (i.e., an aggregate
         amount of $49.61 for the $4,961 shares of Unvested Common Stock held
         by the Option Stock Holders).

3.       Except as provided above, the Agreement shall remain in full force and
         effect.

4.       This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts.
