   SFAC New Holdings, Inc.  As a result of this reorganization
   completed on June 11, 1999, SFAC New Holdings, Inc. is
   treated as a successor company for accounting purposes.

   The financial statements of the Predecessor Company are not
   comparable in certain respects to those of the Successor
   Company.  The 11% Senior Subordinated
   Discount Debentures and the redeemable preferred stock of the
   Predecessor Company were not exchanged for securities of the Successor
   Company.  (See Note 5).

   (b)  Interim Financial Information

   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
   interim condensed financial information of the Company and
   the Predecessor Company contains all adjustments, consisting only of
   those of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise
   indicated, necessary to present fairly the Company's and the
   Predecessor Company's financial position and results of
   operations.  All significant intercompany accounts,
   transactions and profits have been eliminated.

   These financial statements are for interim periods and do not
   include all information normally provided in annual financial
   statements and should be read in conjunction with the
   financial statements of the Predecessor Company for the year
   ended December 31, 1998 included in the annual report filed
   on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for interim periods
   are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
   expected for the full year.  The financial information of the
   Successor Company for 1999 has been combined with the results
   of operations of the Predecessor Company from January 1, 1999
   through June 11, 1999.

   Prior period financial information of the Predecessor Company
   is based on its historical financial information.  Certain
   amounts in the Predecessor Company 1998 financial statements have
   been reclassified to conform to the manner in which the 1999
   financial statements have been presented.

NOTE 3 -Discontinued Operations

   Discontinued operations relate to the divestiture of H&M Food
   Systems, Inc. ("H&M") in April 1999.  This divestiture has
   been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying
   financial statements in accordance with Accounting Principles
   Board Opinion No. 30.  The net assets of H&M are reported as
   a single line item in the Company's Condensed Consolidated
   Balance Sheet for December 31, 1998 and the pre-divestiture
   operating results of H&M are reported in the discontinued
   operations section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
   Statements of Operations.  No interest expense has been
   allocated to discontinued operations.


NOTE 4 - Acquisitions

   On June 7, 1999, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Metz
   Baking Company ("Metz") acquired Grocers Baking Company of
   Grand Rapids, Michigan for $33.6 million plus an additional
   $5.8 million of indebtedness.  Grocers Baking Company, which
   had 1998 sales of approximately $60 million, sells a variety
   of bread, buns, sweet goods, cookie dough and other frozen
   products throughout Michigan.  Additionally, in July 1999,
   Metz completed a small add-on acquisition of a Detroit-based
   baker, Blue Bird Products, Inc.  Blue Bird bakes a variety of
   fresh buns and rolls that are distributed throughout the
   Detroit area.

NOTE 5 - Debt

   On June 11, 1999, the Company completed private exchange
   offers for the existing publicly held debt securities of SFAC
   and SFC.  In order to comply with their obligations under the
   registration rights agreements entered into in connection with
   the private exchange offers, SFAC New Holdings, Inc. and SFC
   New Holdings, Inc. filed Form S-4 registration statements on July
   16, 1999 with the Securities Exchange Commission.  These
   filings also allow the remaining holders of the SFAC and SFC
   debt securities the opportunity to exchange their existing
   debt securities for the debt securities of the new holdings
   companies.  These exchanges were completed on
   September 30, 1999 at which time an  additional $6.5 million
   of debt securities were exchanged and reflected as debt on the Company's
   Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

   The following table reconciles the debt reported by the
   Predecessor Company at December 31, 1998 to the debt reported
   by the Successor Company at September 30, 1999.

   The Company has incurred approximately $21.1 million in fees
   and expenses related to the exchange offers and refinancing.
   Approximately $12.1 million of fees have been paid to
   debtholders and have been classified as a long-term asset on
   the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The
   remaining $9.0 million of fees and expenses were paid to
   third parties and have been recorded as a non-operating
   expense on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of
   Operations.

NOTE 6 - Litigation

   As previously reported, Cacique, Inc. ("Cacique") commenced
   proceedings against Stella Foods, Inc. ("Stella"), a former
   subsidiary of the Company, on May
   20, 1993, prior to the Company's acquisition of Stella from
   Artal Group S.A..  The proceeding was filed in the California
   Superior Court and related to "Hispanic-style cheese"
   formerly produced by Stella. As part of the sale of Stella in
   December 1997, SFC indemnified the purchaser with respect to
   this proceeding.  Although SFAC New Holdings, Inc. is not a
   defendant in the litigation, it continues to control the
   defense.  The facts that give rise to this litigation are
   more fully described in the SFAC Annual Report on Form 10-K
   for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

   Recently, a jury in the Los Angeles Superior Court returned a
   verdict of $4.5 million of compensatory damages against
   Stella and certain other defendants. On September 8, 1999,
   the Court ruled in a Tentative Statement of Decision that
   Stella and certain other defendants must also pay interest of
   $1.7 million on the compensatory damages.  In addition, the
   Court assessed aggregate punitive damages of $12.5 million
   against Stella and C. Dean Metropoulos, former CEO of Stella.
   The court has yet to rule on the amount of the plaintiff's
   attorney fees to be paid by the defendants.

   The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict in this case.
   Furthermore, the Company believes that numerous reversible
   errors occurred at the trial and it will vigorously pursue
   certain post trial motions, its right of appeal, and other
   sources of recovery.  Post-trial motions are expected to take
   several months and the appeal process could take several
   years.

   Although no assurance can be given due to the uncertainties
   related to the outcome of these legal proceedings, the
   Company continues to believe that the ultimate resolution of
   this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
   Company's financial condition, results of operations or near-
   term liquidity.

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


Seasonality

The Company's businesses are moderately seasonal with lower
sales, operating profit, and cash flows generally occurring in
the first quarter of the year.  This seasonality is due primarily
to higher bread and cookie sales in the summer months, as well as
the winter holiday season.


Results of Operations

COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER 1999 TO THIRD QUARTER 1998

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations increased 25.1%
to $232.0 million in 1999 compared to $185.4 million in 1998.
The increase in net sales was primarily due to the inclusion of
net sales reported by acquired businesses and price increases taken at Metz.

The Company's gross profit margin percentage was negatively
impacted by increased depreciation of approximately $2.5 million
in 1999.  Depreciation expense increased due to purchases made in
1998 of fleet and production equipment previously leased and a
higher than normal level of planned capital expenditures.
Excluding the impact of depreciation, the gross profit margin
increased by approximately one percentage point in 1999 due
principally to pricing and favorable product mix.

Selling, distribution, and general and administrative ("SDG&A")
expenses increased $23.5 million in 1999 to $114.7 million
primarily due to the inclusion of expenses reported by acquired businesses
and higher depreciation expense.  Excluding the impact of depreciation,
SDG&A expenses as a percentage of sales declined by approximately
one-half percentage point in 1999 reflecting the cost reductions
resulting from the acquisitions.

Interest expense, net in 1999 increased $5.7 million to $39.6
million in 1999 from $33.9 million in 1998.  The increase is
primarily due to increased interest rates and debt issuance
amortization as a result of the debt exchange and refinancing and
lower interest income in 1999, offset by lower interest expense
due to the fact that the 11% Senior Subordinated Debentures of the Predecessor
Company were not exchanged for securities of the Successor Company.

Other expense, net, remained constant at $0.7 million in 1999 and
1998.  These expenses consist primarily of discount expense on
the Company's Accounts Receivable Facility.

As a result of the above factors, net loss from continuing
operations increased to $26.8 million in 1999 compared to $21.1
million in 1998.

The Company reports minimal state income tax and no federal
income tax due to its net operating loss position for tax
purposes.

<PAGE>   10

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

The nine months ended September 30, 1999 comprise the results of
operations of the Predecessor Company for the period from January
1, 1999 to June 11, 1999 and the results of operations of the
Company for the period from June 12, 1999 to September 30, 1999.
The 1999 periods are discussed on a combined basis.

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations increased 21.3%
to $658.2 million in 1999 compared to $542.6 million in 1998. The
increase in net sales was primarily due to the inclusion of
net sales reported by businesses acquired in the
last year and a half and price increases taken at Metz.

The Company's gross profit margin percentage increased to 56.1%
in 1999 from 55.9% in 1998 primarily due to pricing, a favorable
sales mix shift at Mother's and slightly lower flour costs, which
more than offset inflationary cost increases and higher
depreciation.

SDG&A expenses increased $56.5 million in 1999 to $337.7 million primarily due
to the inclusion of expenses reported by businesses acquired
over the last year and a half.  However, as a percentage of sales,
SDG&A expenses decreased slightly to 51.3% in 1999 due to cost synergies
resulting from the 1998 acquisitions.

Interest expense, net in 1999 increased $15.8 million to $113.7
million from $97.9 million in 1998.  The increase is primarily
due to increased interest rates as a result of the debt exchange
and refinancing and lower interest income in 1999, offset by lower
interest expense due to the fact that the 11% Senior
Subordinated Debentures of the Predecessor Company were not exchanged
for securities of the Successor Company.

Included in other expenses in 1999 are third-party financing fees
related to the debt exchange and refinancing.

Other expense, net increased to $4.3 million in 1999 compared to
$2.0 million in 1998. The increase is primarily due to the loss
on the disposal of property, plant and equipment.

As a result of the above factors, net loss from continuing
operations increased to $99.2 million in 1999 compared to $78.0
million in 1998.

The Company reports minimal state income tax and no federal
income tax due to its net operating loss position for tax
purposes.

Because of the highly leveraged status of the Company, earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA")
is an important performance measure used by the Company and its
stakeholders.  The Company believes that EBITDA provides
additional information for determining its ability to meet future
debt service requirements.  However, EBITDA is not indicative of
operating income or cash flow from operations as determined under
generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company's EBITDA
from continuing operations for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 is calculated as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $34.2 million.  Net of the effects of
acquisitions, the use of cash for changes in operating assets and
liabilities included increased inventories for seasonal inventory
build, decreased funding under the accounts receivable facility,
and a reduction in accrued expenses which is impacted by the
timing of interest payments.  In 1998, cash used by operating
activities of $51.8 million was principally driven by increased
working capital requirements, including higher levels of
receivables and inventories and reductions in accounts payable
and accrued expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $59.0 million
in 1999 and is primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of
H&M, offset by the cost of the acquisitions of Grocers Baking
Company and Blue Bird Products, Inc. and planned capital
expenditures.  In 1998, net cash used by investing activities
totaled $65.7 million.  The activity in 1998 was primarily
attributable to the purchase of $35.0 million of fleet and
production equipment previously leased and planned capital
expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $0.7 million in
1999 due to payments of debt refinancing costs and debt principal
offset by increased revolver borrowings.  In 1998, net cash used
in financing activities amounted to $13.7 million principally due
to refinancing costs and scheduled payments on long-term debt.

Based upon the above, the net increase (decrease) in cash in 1999
and 1998 was $24.2 million and ($131.2) million, respectively.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company had a cash balance of $30.0
million and had $97.8 million of borrowings under its $122.8
million Revolving Credit Facility.  Outstanding letters of credit
of $10.8 million as of September 30, 1999 reduce available funds
under the facility.  Liquidity was significantly enhanced by the
$110 million of net cash proceeds received upon the closing of
the H&M sale on April 12, 1999.  Management believes that
available funds should be adequate to fund the Company's 1999
operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions.  However,
there can be no assurances that available funds will be adequate
to meet such needs.
