                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 1.  BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORMATION AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Tom's Foods Inc. have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
annual report and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1999.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary
for a fair presentation for the periods presented. Results for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for a full fiscal year.

FISCAL YEAR

The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday
nearest to December 31. The current year, fiscal 1999, ends January 1, 2000 and
contains 52 weeks. The Company's first three quarters contain twelve weeks of
results while the fourth quarter contains 16 or 17 weeks coinciding with the
Company's fiscal year.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the average cost for raw materials, packaging materials, and work in process.
Finished goods cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost
elements include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, and overhead incurred
in the manufacturing process.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                        TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 19, 1999
                  COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 20, 1998

Net sales for the second quarter ended June 19, 1999 were $49.5 million, a
decrease of 1.1%, or $526,000, compared to the $50.0 million reported for the
corresponding period in 1998.

Gross Profit decreased to $19.0 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $20.0
million in the second quarter of 1998, a decrease of $950,000, or 4.8%. The
Gross Profit percentage of 38.5% for the second quarter of 1999 was 1.4
percentage points lower than the 39.9% reported for the second quarter of 1998.


                                                                               6
<PAGE>   7

Selling and Administrative expenses decreased to $16.5 million in the current
year from $17.7 million in the corresponding 1998 period, a decrease of 6.8%, or
$1.2 million. The decrease was driven primarily by lower distribution, selling,
and promotional costs.

Other Income was $137,000 for the second quarter of 1999 compared to $380,000
for the corresponding period in 1998 due primarily to lower affiliated product
income and to lower gains on asset disposals in the normal course of business.

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $115,000 to $1.8 million in
the second quarter of 1999 versus $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1998 due
to a lower interest rate and lower average outstanding borrowings on the
Company's revolving line of credit.

The Provision for Income Taxes was $30,000 in 1999 compared to $115,000 in 1998,
a decrease of $85,000, due to lower state income and franchise taxes. The
Company estimates that it will have no Federal tax obligation for the fiscal
year due to loss carryforwards from prior years.

Net Income for the twelve week period ended June 19, 1999 was $362,000, an
increase of $252,000 compared to Net Income of $110,000 for the twelve week
period ended June 20, 1998.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents the sum of income (loss) before income taxes plus interest expense,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a widely accepted measure of a
company's ability to incur and service debt, to undertake capital expenditures,
and to meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should
not be considered an alternative either to net income as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an indicator of the Company's liquidity.
EBITDA for the second quarter of 1999 increased to $4.3 million, or 8.7% of Net
Sales, compared to $4.2 million, or 8.5% of Net Sales, for the same quarter of
1998.

                      TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED JUNE 19, 1999
              COMPARED TO THE TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED JUNE 20, 1998

Net Sales for the twenty-four weeks ended June 19, 1999 were $96.5 million, an
increase of 0.9%, or $866,000 compared to $95.7 million reported for the
corresponding period of 1998.

Gross Profit dollars for the first twenty-four weeks of 1999 decreased $737,000
to $36.8 million compared to $37.6 million reported for the same period in 1998
due to a shift in sales mix. The Gross Profit percentage of 38.2% for the first
twenty-four weeks of 1999 was 1.1 percentage points lower than the 39.3% for the
same period of 1998.

Selling and Administrative expenses for 1999 were $33.5 million, a decrease of
4.6%, or $1.6 million over the $35.1 million reported for the comparable
twenty-four week period of 1998. Selling and Administrative expenses as a
percentage of Net Sales decreased 2.0 percentage points to 34.7% in 1999
compared to 36.7% in 1998. The decrease in Selling and Administrative expenses
was driven primarily by lower distribution, selling, and promotional costs.

Other Income was $296,000 for the first twenty-four weeks of 1999 compared to
$896,000 for the same period in 1998 due primarily to lower affiliated product
commission income and lower gains on the disposal of certain assets in the
normal course of business.


                                                                              7
<PAGE>   8

Interest Expense, net of interest income, decreased $99,000 to $3.6 million
during the first twenty-four weeks of 1999 versus $3.7 million for the
comparable period in 1998 due to a lower interest rate and lower average
borrowings on the Company's revolving line of credit.

The Provision for Income Taxes was $60,000 in 1999 compared to $230,000 for
1998, a decrease of $170,000 due to lower state income and franchise taxes. The
Company estimates that it will have no Federal tax obligation for the fiscal
year due to loss carryforwards from prior years.

The Net Loss of $1.0 million for the twenty-four week period ended June 19, 1999
was an improvement of $549,000 over the Net Loss of $1.6 million for the
twenty-four week period ended June 20, 1998.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents the sum of income (loss) before income taxes plus interest expense,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a widely accepted measure of a
company's ability to incur and service debt, to undertake capital expenditures,
and to meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should
not be considered an alternative either to net income as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an indicator of the Company's liquidity.
EBITDA for the twenty-four weeks ended June 19, 1999 increased to $6.9 million,
or 7.1% of Net Sales, compared to $6.7 million, or 7.0% of Net Sales, for the
same period of 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash flow requirements are for working capital, capital
expenditures and debt service. The Company has met its liquidity needs to date
through internally generated funds and a revolving line of credit established in
August 1996 as amended in October 1997. As of June 19, 1999, the Company had
$2.6 million in outstanding loans under the revolving line, had letters of
credit outstanding of $1.7 million, and had $8.4 million in excess borrowing
availability thereunder.

The Company's working capital position was relatively unchanged at $13.9 million
as of both June 19, 1999 and June 20, 1998.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million for the twenty-four week
period ended June 19, 1999 versus $7.8 million used during the same period of
1998. The improvement in operating cash flow versus the prior year was largely
due to favorable working capital changes in Inventory of $2.5 million and Other
Liabilities of $2.9 million.

Capital expenditures were $3.4 million and $3.1 million in the twenty-four week
periods ended June 19, 1999 and June 20, 1998, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $2.1 million to $2.5 million
provided during the first twenty-four weeks of 1999 versus $4.6 million for the
same period in 1998 due to lower revolver borrowings during the current year
period.

Net cash used during the twenty-four week period ended June 19, 1999 of $1.7
million was an improvement of $4.2 million over the comparable twenty-four week
period ended June 20, 1998 when net cash used was $5.9 million.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company has conducted an assessment of its Year 2000 readiness including a
review of its financial information systems, manufacturing systems, and
distribution operations to identify those systems or operations that might be
affected by the arrival of the year 2000. Plans have been developed to correct
those components that were found to be affected by the date change. To date,
corrections have been addressed through limited outside services at a cost of
$120,000 and through the use of internal resources which should be adequate to
complete the Company's Year 2000 preparations. The costs of addressing Year 2000
issues have been expensed in the ordinary course of business. Substantially all,
if not all, of the Company's compliance activities are anticipated to be
complete by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The Company has begun to
develop contingency plans in the event that it does not reach its compliance
objectives on time. These plans are expected to be substantially complete by the
end of the third quarter of 1999.

In addition to the activities discussed above, the Company continues to work
with suppliers, customers, and other third parties with whom the Company
conducts business to determine the Year 2000 readiness of these key business
partners. Business partner preparation is anticipated to be adequate.
Additionally, there are alternative suppliers for most key raw materials. The
Company will continue to monitor year 2000 compliance progress of its trading
partners and work with, as appropriate, these business partners as the Company
develops its contingency plans.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("Statement 133"), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value
be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
are met.

The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and
does not use them for trading purposes. The Company enters into various futures
contracts and futures options to reduce the impact of volatility in raw material
prices.

Statement 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting Statement 133 on its
financial statements and has not determined the timing or method of its adoption
of Statement 133.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere which are not
