NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
---------------------

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements are presented in accordance
with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, consequently,  do not
include all the disclosures  normally required by generally accepted  accounting
principles.

The financial  information  has been  prepared in accordance  with the Company's
customary  accounting  practices  and has not been  audited.  In the  opinion of
management,  the financial  information  includes all adjustments  consisting of
normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  interim
results.

Equity Method of Accounting
---------------------------

Investments  in 20- to 50- percent  owned  affiliates  are  accounted for by the
equity  method of  accounting,  whereby  the  investment  is  carried at cost of
acquisition, plus the Company's equity in undistributed earnings or losses since
acquisition.

Marketable Securities
---------------------

Marketable  securities  consist of money market funds,  United  States  Treasury
notes and  mortgage-backed  government  securities.  Marketable  securities  are
stated at market value as determined  by the most recently  traded price of each
security at the balance sheet date.  All  marketable  securities  are defined as
trading  securities or  available-for-sale  securities  under the  provisions of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. ("SFAS") 115,  "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".

Management  determines  the  appropriate  classification  of its  investments in
marketable  securities  at  the  time  of  the  purchase  and  reevaluates  such
determination  at each balance sheet date. As of April 30, 2000,  all marketable
securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale  securities
are carried at fair value,  with the  unrealized  gains and losses,  net of tax,
reported  as  a  separate  component  of  shareholders'   equity.  The  cost  of
investments sold is determined on the specific  identification  or the first-in,
first-out method.


NOTE 3:  INVENTORIES

Inventories  are  stated at the lower of  average  cost or  market.  Inventories
consist of the following:

NOTE 5:  EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings
per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if stock options were
exercised. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which
reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares  purchasable
from the proceeds of the options assumed to be exercised.

The following  table shows the  computation of the number of shares  outstanding
(in thousands):

NOTE 7:  OTHER EVENTS

On January 31, 2000,  the Company  repurchased  the New York City market from an
area  developer  for  approximately  $6.9  million.   The  Company  invested  an
additional $300,000 in property and equipment.  Subsequently, on April 17, 2000,
the Company sold 77.67% of the New York City market for $5.6 million in exchange
for cash and notes receivable. The investment in this joint venture is accounted
for using the equity method and is recorded in other assets on the  Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

NOTE 8:  JOINT VENTURES

On March 22,  2000,  the  Company  entered  into a joint  venture to develop the
Northern  California market. The Company invested $2,060,000 for a 59% interest.
The financial  statements of this joint venture are  consolidated in the results
in the Company.

NOTE 9:  LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

On March 9,  2000,  a  lawsuit  was  filed  against  the  Company,  a member  of
management  and Golden Gate  Doughnuts,  LLC, a franchisee  of the  Company,  in
Superior Court in the state of  California.  The Plantiffs  allege,  among other
things,  breach of contract and seek compensation for injury as well as punitive
damages.  The Company  believes that the  allegations are without merit and that
the  outcome  of the  lawsuit  will not have a  material  adverse  effect on its
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no accrual for loss (if any) has
been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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

The following discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements that are
beyond the control of the Company.  Actual  results may differ  materially  from
those  expressed  or implied by such  forward-looking  statements.  Factors that
could  cause  actual  results to differ  include,  but are not  limited  to: the
Company's  ability to  continue  and manage  growth;  delays in store  openings;
quality of franchise store  operations;  price and availability of raw materials
needed to produce  doughnut  mixes and other  ingredients;  changes in  customer
preferences and perceptions; risks associated with competition; risks associated
with fluctuations in operating and quarterly results; compliance with government
regulations;  and other factors discussed in more detail under "Risk Factors" in
the Company's  Prospectus  dated April 4, 2000 and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

COMPANY OVERVIEW AND INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

Our principal  business,  which began in 1937, is owning and franchising  Krispy
Kreme  doughnut  stores  where we make and sell  over 20  varieties  of  premium
quality  doughnuts,  including our Hot Original Glazed.  Each of our stores is a
doughnut  factory  with the  capacity to produce  from 2,400 dozen to over 6,000
dozen  doughnuts  daily.  Consequently,  each  store  has  significant  fixed or
semi-fixed costs, and margins and  profitability  are significantly  impacted by
doughnut  production volume and sales. Our doughnut stores are versatile in that
most can  support  multiple  sales  channels  to more fully  utilize  production
capacity. These sales channels are comprised of:

         o        ON-PREMISES  SALES.  Sales to  customers  visiting our stores,
                  including  the  drive-through   windows,   along  with  deeply
                  discounted sales to community  organizations that in turn sell
                  our products for fundraising purposes.

         o        OFF-PREMISES  SALES.  Daily  sales  of  fresh  doughnuts  on a
                  branded,  unbranded and private label basis to convenience and
                  grocery stores and select co-branding customers. Doughnuts are
                  sold to these  customers  on  trays  for  display  and sale in
                  glass-enclosed  cases and in packages  for display and sale on
                  both stand-alone  display units and on our customers' shelves.
                  "Branded"  refers to products  sold  bearing the Krispy  Kreme
                  brand name.  "Unbranded" products are sold unpackaged from the
                  retailer's  display case.  "Private  label" products carry the
                  retailer's brand name or some other non-Krispy Kreme brand.

In addition to our retail  stores,  we are  vertically  integrated.  Our Support
Operations   business  unit  produces   doughnut  mixes  and   manufactures  our
doughnutmaking  equipment,  which all of our stores are  required  to  purchase.
Additionally,  it operates a  distribution  center that  provides  Krispy  Kreme
stores with  essentially  all supplies for the critical areas of their business.
This  business  unit is  volume-driven,  and its  economics  are enhanced by the
opening of new stores. Our vertical integration allows us to:

         o        Maintain   the   consistency   and  quality  of  our  products
                  throughout our system

         o        Utilize  volume  buying  power  which  helps lower the cost of
                  supplies to each of our stores

         o        Enhance our profitability

We expect doughnut industry sales to continue growing.  We believe growth in the
fragmented  doughnut  market will be aided by a variety of factors,  including a
shift from food  consumed  at home to food  consumed  away from home,  increased
snack food consumption and increased doughnut sales through in-store bakeries.

We intend to expand our concept  primarily  through opening new franchise stores
in territories  across the  continental  United States.  We also intend to enter
into joint ventures with some of our  franchisees.  As of April 30, 2000,  there
were  a  total  of  151  Krispy  Kreme  stores   nationwide   consisting  of  57
company-owned and 94 franchised stores. Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2001,
we anticipate  opening  approximately  13 additional  new stores under  existing
agreements,  all of which are  expected  to be  franchise  stores.  In the first
quarter,  we announced  agreements  with five new area  developers who will open
stores in 13 new markets.


                                       9
<PAGE>

As we expand the Krispy Kreme concept, we will incur infrastructure costs in the
form of additional personnel to support the expansion, and additional facilities
costs to provide  mixes,  equipment  and other  items  necessary  to operate the
various new stores. In the course of building this infrastructure,  we may incur
unplanned costs which could negatively impact our operating results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In order to facilitate an  understanding  of the results of operations  for each
period presented,  we have included a general overview along with an analysis of
business segment activities.

         O        OVERVIEW.  Outlines  information on total systemwide sales and
                  systemwide  comparable store sales.  Systemwide sales includes
                  the sales of both our  company-owned and franchised stores and
                  excludes the sales of our Support Operations business segment.
                  Our consolidated  financial  statements appearing elsewhere in
                  this  filing  exclude   franchised  store  sales  and  include
                  royalties and fees received from our  franchisees.  We believe
                  systemwide  sales  data is  significant  because  it shows the
                  overall  penetration  of our  brand,  consumer  demand for our
                  products and the correlation  between systemwide sales and our
                  total revenues.  A store is added to our comparable store base
                  in its nineteenth month of operation.  A summary discussion of
                  our consolidated results is also presented.

         O        SEGMENT  RESULTS.  In accordance  with  Statement of Financial
                  Accounting  Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
                  an  Enterprise  and  Related   Information,"   we  have  three
                  reportable  segments.  A  description  of each of the segments
                  follows.

         O        COMPANY  STORE  OPERATIONS.  Represents  the  results  of  our
                  company-owned  stores.  Company stores make and sell doughnuts
                  and   complementary   products   through  the  sales  channels
                  discussed above. Expenses for this business unit include store
                  level expenses  along with direct  general and  administrative
                  expenses.

         O        FRANCHISE OPERATIONS.  Represents the results of our franchise
                  program.  We have two  franchise  programs:  (1) the associate
                  program,  which is our original  franchising program developed
                  in the 1940s,  and (2) the area developer  program,  which was
                  developed in the  mid-1990s.  Associates pay royalties of 3.0%
                  of  on-premises  sales and 1.0% of all other  sales,  with the
                  exception  of  private  label  sales,  for  which  they pay no
                  royalties. Area developers pay royalties of 4.5% of all sales,
                  contribute 1.0% of all sales to our national  advertising fund
                  and pay  franchise  fees  ranging  from $20,000 to $40,000 per
                  store.  Expenses  for  this  business  segment  include  costs
                  incurred to recruit new  franchisees and to monitor and aid in
                  the  performance  of  these  stores  and  direct  general  and
                  administrative expenses.

         O        SUPPORT  OPERATIONS.  Represents  the  results of our  Support
                  Operations  business  unit,  located in  Winston-Salem,  North
                  Carolina.  This business unit buys ingredients used to produce
                  doughnut mixes and manufactures doughnutmaking equipment which
                  all of our stores are required to purchase. Additionally, this
                  business  unit  purchases and sells  essentially  all supplies
                  necessary to operate a Krispy Kreme store,  including all food
                  ingredients,  juices,  Krispy Kreme coffee,  signage,  display
                  cases, uniforms and other items. Generally, shipments are made
                  to each of our stores on a weekly basis by common carrier. All
                  intercompany   transactions  between  Support  Operations  and
                  Company   Store    Operations    have   been   eliminated   in
                  consolidation.  Expenses  for this  business  unit include all
                  expenses incurred at the manufacturing and distribution  level
                  along with direct general and administrative expenses.

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 2, 1999

OVERVIEW

Systemwide  sales for the quarter  increased 41.3% to $103.3 million compared to
$73.1 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase was driven by
an increase of 25.6% in company  store sales which  increased to $51 million and
an increase of 60.9% in franchise  store sales which increased to $52.3 million.
During the  quarter,  the  Company  opened 8  franchise  stores and one store in
Northern  California.  One company  store and one  franchise  store were closed,
bringing the total number of stores to 151 at the end of the quarter.  Of those,
94 are franchise  stores and 57 are company owned.  We believe  increased  brand
awareness  contributed  significantly  to the  19%  increase  in our  systemwide
comparable store sales.

Total company  revenues  increased  33.1% to $71 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 compared with $53.3 million in the first quarter of the prior fiscal
year. This increase was comprised of Company Store Operations  revenue increases
of 25.6% to $51.0 million,  Franchise  Operations  revenue increases of 88.3% to
$2.0 million and Support Operations revenue increases of 54.4% to $18.0 million.
Net income for the quarter  was $3.1  million  versus  $1.9  million a year ago,
representing  an increase of 61.2%.  Diluted  earnings  per share were $.27,  an
increase of 35% over the first quarter of the prior year.

COMPANY STORE OPERATIONS

COMPANY STORE OPERATIONS  REVENUES.  Company Store Operations revenues increased
to $51.0  million in the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 from $40.6 million in the
first  quarter of fiscal  2000,  an  increase of 25.6%.  Comparable  store sales
increased by 23.3%.  The revenue  growth was  primarily  due to strong growth in
sales from both our on-premises  and  off-premises  sales channels.  On-premises
sales  increased  approximately  $3.3 million and  off-premises  sales increased
approximately  $7.1 million.  On-premises  sales grew principally as a result of
more customer  visits,  an increase in brand  awareness  and our national  store
expansion. Additionally, there was a 6% retail price increase implemented during
the  quarter.  Our company  stores  continued to benefit from an increase in the
number of  stores we serve via our  off-premises  sales  programs.  The  revenue
increase in off-premises  sales is due to the addition of both convenience store
and grocery store outlets.

COMPANY STORE OPERATIONS OPERATING EXPENSES.  Company Store Operations operating
expenses  increased  to $43.1  million in the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 from
$34.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000, an increase of 23.7%.  Company
Store Operations  operating expenses as a percentage of Company Store Operations
revenues  were 84.5% in first  quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with 85.8% in the
same  quarter  of the prior  year.  The  decrease  in Company  Store  Operations
operating  expenses as a percentage  of revenues was due to increased  operating
efficiencies  resulting  from  increased  sales  levels  at  our  stores.  These
additional sales have utilized excess production  capacity thereby enhancing the
stores'  profitability.  These margin improvements were offset by increased fuel
costs.

We  constantly  evaluate  our store base,  not only with  respect to our stores'
financial and operational  performance,  but also with respect to alignment with
our brand image and how well each store meets our customers'  needs. As a result
of this review,  we make  provisions to cover  closing or  impairment  costs for
stores  that  perform  poorly,  and for older  stores that need to be closed and
relocated. No provisions were made during the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS  REVENUES.  Franchise Operations revenues increased to $2.0
million  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001 from $1.1  million  in the first
quarter of the prior  year,  an  increase  of 88.3%.  The growth in revenue  was
primarily  due to the  opening  of 8  franchise  stores in the first  quarter of
fiscal 2001 and the impact of 19  franchise  stores  opened in fiscal 2000 being
open for the full first  quarter of fiscal  2001.


                                       12
<PAGE>

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS OPERATING EXPENSES. Franchise Operations operating expenses
increased to $1.0 million in the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 from $0.9 million
in the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of 6.3%. Franchise Operations
operating expenses as a percentage of Franchise  Operations  revenues were 49.1%
in first quarter of the current year compared with 87.0% in first quarter of the
prior  year.  The  decrease  in  Franchise  Operations  operating  expenses as a
percentage of revenues was due to capitalizing  upon the  infrastructure we have
built in  preparing  for our  expansion.  In prior  years,  we hired and trained
personnel  to oversee  the  expansion  of our  concept  across the  country.  In
addition to our  management  training  program,  they  received  field  training
primarily  consisting of working with and learning  from existing  personnel who
were qualified to oversee store operations. As these personnel have successfully
completed  their training,  we have been able to open additional  stores without
incurring significant incremental personnel costs.

SUPPORT OPERATIONS

SUPPORT  OPERATIONS  REVENUES.  Support  Operations  sales to  franchise  stores
increased  to $18.0  million  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001 from  $11.7
million in the same  quarter of fiscal 2000,  an increase of 54.4%.  The primary
reason for the  increase  in  revenues  was the  opening of eight new  franchise
stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2001,  the  full-quarter  impact of stores
opened in fiscal 2000 and comparable store sales increases.  Increased  doughnut
sales through both the on-premises and off-premises  sales channels by franchise
stores translated into increased  revenues for Support  Operations from sales of
mixes, sugar,  shortening and other supplies.  Also, each of these new stores is
required to purchase  doughnutmaking  equipment and other  peripheral  equipment
from Support Operations, thereby enhancing Support Operations sales.

SUPPORT OPERATIONS  OPERATING  EXPENSES.  Support Operations  operating expenses
increased to $15.2 million in first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $10.0 million in
first quarter of fiscal 2000, an increase of 52.3%. Support Operations operating
expenses as a  percentage  of Support  Operations  revenues  were 84.4% in first
quarter of the current year  compared  with 85.6% in first  quarter of the prior
year. The decrease in Support  Operations  operating expenses as a percentage of
revenues was due to the increased capacity  utilization and resulting  economies
of scale of the mix and equipment  manufacturing  operations attributable to the
increased  volume  in  the  facilities.   Favorable   commodities   prices  also
contributed.  Increased fuel costs, as well as startup costs associated with the
California  distribution center,  offset the decrease in operating expenses as a
percentage of revenue.

OTHER

GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.   General  and  administrative  expenses
increased to $4.4 million in the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 from $3.1 million
in the  first  quarter  of fiscal  2000,  an  increase  of  41.3%.  General  and
administrative  expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the first quarter
were 6.2% in fiscal 2001 compared with 5.9% in fiscal 2000.  The primary  reason
for  the  increase  in  these   expenses  was  our   continued   investment   in
infrastructure  to support  our  expansion.  The  investment  in  infrastructure
consisted  primarily  of  the  hiring  of new  personnel  in  corporate  support
departments,  as well as increased  professional  services and costs  associated
with being a public company.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION  EXPENSES.  Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased to $1.6 million in the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 from $1.1 million
in the first quarter of the prior year, an increase of 44.9%.  Depreciation  and
amortization  expenses as a percentage  of total  revenues for the first quarter
were 2.2% in fiscal 2001  compared  with 2.1% in fiscal 2000.  Depreciation  and
amortization expenses increased due to capital asset additions.

INTEREST  INCOME.  Interest income increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
as a result of the  investment  of proceeds  from our initial  public  offering.
Proceeds from the public offering were received in mid-April. Approximately, $28
million was invested in various government  securities and short-term commercial
paper  instruments at the end of the first quarter  resulting in interest income
of $231,000 for the quarter. There were no investments of this nature during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000.


                                       13
<PAGE>

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased slightly in first quarter of fiscal
2001 over the same quarter of the prior year.  Borrowing  amounts were higher in
the first  quarter of fiscal 2001  compared to the same period in the prior year
due to increased working capital  requirements,  as well as investments in joint
ventures.  Additionally,  interest  rates  were  higher in the first  quarter of
fiscal  2001  compared  to the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2000.  We  paid  off
substantially  all of our debt in mid-April  after the completion of our initial
public offering.

OTHER.  Other expenses consist of operating results incurred in conjunction with
refranchising  the New York  market,  including  the  operating  results of that
market for  approximately  11 weeks of the quarter  until the market was sold to
the new area developer on April 17, 2000. During this period, four of the stores
were closed for remodeling for approximately 15 weeks.

PROVISION  FOR INCOME  TAXES.  The  provision  for income  taxes is based on the
effective  tax rate  applied to the  respective  period's  pre-tax  income.  The
provision  for income taxes was $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
representing a 38.4%  effective rate compared to $1.2 million,  or 38.1%, in the
first quarter of the prior year.

Historically,   we  have  experienced  seasonal  variability  in  our  quarterly
operating results, with higher profits per store in the first and third quarters
than in the second and fourth  quarters.  The seasonal  nature of our  operating
results is expected to continue.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

BECAUSE MANAGEMENT GENERALLY DOES NOT MONITOR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ON
A SEGMENT BASIS, THIS DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS.

We funded our capital  requirements  for first quarter of fiscal 2001  primarily
through cash flow generated from operations,  but also through  borrowings under
our line of credit and term loan facility and proceeds from the stock offering.

Net cash flow from  operations  was $5.1 million in first quarter of fiscal 2001
and $3.1  million  in first  quarter  of fiscal  2000.  Operating  cash flow has
benefited from an  improvement  in our net income.  Operating cash flow has been
negatively  impacted by additional  investments  in working  capital,  primarily
accounts  receivable,  as a result of the  expansion of our  off-premises  sales
programs and the opening of new stores which we either own or supply.

Net cash used for  investing  activities  was $33.9  million in first quarter of
fiscal  2001 and $4.8  million  in first  quarter of the prior  year.  Investing
activities  primarily  consist of investment of approximately $28 million of the
proceeds from the initial public offering,  as well as capital  expenditures for
property,  plant and equipment.  These capital expenditures  primarily relate to
expenditures to support our off-premises  sales programs,  maintenance,  capital
expenditures  for existing  stores and equipment and  development of new stores.
Net cash  for  investing  activities  was also  used  for  investments  in joint
ventures.

Net cash provided by (used for)  financing  activities  was $38.8 million in the
first  quarter of fiscal  2001 and ($64,000)  in first  quarter of fiscal  2000.
Financing  activities  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001  consisted  of the
completion  of our initial  public  stock  offering;  repayment  of  borrowings;
capital distribution to our existing shareholders;  and issuance of stock to the
company's  stock  ownership  plan. Our financing  activities in first quarter of
fiscal  2000  consisted  primarily  of  borrowings  under our line of credit and
payment of cash dividends declared in fiscal 1999.


In the next five years, we will use cash primarily for the following activities:

         o        Remodeling  and  relocation  of selected  older  company-owned
                  stores

         o        Additional mix production capacity to support expansion


                                       14
<PAGE>

         o        Joint venture investments in area developer stores

         o        General corporate purposes, including working capital needs

Our capital requirements for the items outlined above may be significant.  These
capital   requirements  will  depend  on  many  factors  including  our  overall
performance,  the  pace of store  expansion  and  company  store  remodels,  the
requirements for joint venture  arrangements and  infrastructure  needs for both
personnel  and  facilities.  To date,  we have  primarily  relied  on cash  flow
generated from  operations and our line of credit to fund our capital needs.  We
believe that the proceeds from the initial public offering,  cash flow generated
from  operations  and our  borrowing  capacity  under our line of credit will be
sufficient  to meet our  capital  needs  for at least  the  next 24  months.  If
additional  capital  is  needed,  we may raise such  capital  through  public or
private  equity or debt  financings.  However,  there can be no  assurance  that
additional capital will be available or be available on satisfactory  terms. Our
failure to raise  additional  capital  could  have one or more of the  following
effects on our operations and growth plans over the next five years:

         o        Slowing our plans to remodel and relocate older  company-owned
                  stores

         o        Reducing the number and amount of joint venture investments in
                  area developer stores

         o        Slowing the building of our  infrastructure  in both personnel
                  and facilities

We conduct some of our corporate and store operations from leased facilities and
lease certain  equipment under operating leases.  Generally,  these have initial
lease periods of five to 18 years, and contain provisions for renewal options of
five to ten years.

INFLATION

We do not believe  that  inflation  has had a material  impact on our results of
operations in recent years. However, we cannot predict what effect inflation may
have on our results of operations in the future.


YEAR 2000

The "year 2000 issue" refers to the possible  failure of many  computer  systems
that may arise as a result of existing computer software and hardware using only
the last two digits to refer to a year.

We believe that the most significant  internal risk posed by the year 2000 issue
was the  possibility  of a  failure  of our  accounting  systems,  either at our
corporate offices, at our Winston-Salem  manufacturing and distribution facility
or at our stores.  Third parties whose  potential  year 2000 problems could have
had the  greatest  effect on us are our banks,  the company that  processes  our
payroll and maintains our human  resources  databases and companies  that supply
our key raw materials.

Prior to the year 2000 date change,  we completed  reviews of the ability of our
hardware and software serving critical  internal  functions in our stores and in
our corporate  offices to accurately handle the transition of dates from 1999 to
2000.  We  estimate  that we have  spent  $1  million  for the dual  purpose  of
upgrading the  functionality  of systems while at the same time  achieving  year
2000 compliance.  Additionally, we have developed contingency plans for critical
functions  in  certain  corporate  departments  and  business  units to  address
potential year 2000 issues.

Since  entering  the  year  2000,  we  have  not   experienced  any  significant
disruptions  to our  business,  nor are we aware of any  significant  year  2000
issues  impacting our banks,  vendors or customers.  We will continue to monitor
our critical systems over the next several months for any delayed effects of the
year 2000 date  change,  but do not expect  any  significant  exposure  from our
internal systems or from the actions of our banks, vendors and customers.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued FAS 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities,"  effective  for years  beginning  after June 15, 2000,
Krispy  Kreme's  fiscal year 2002.  FAS 133  requires  that all  derivatives  be
recorded on the balance  sheet at fair  value.  Derivatives  that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value  through  income.  If the  derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge,  changes in the fair value of  derivatives
are either  offset  against  the change in the fair value of the hedged  assets,
liabilities,  or firm  commitments  through  earnings  or  recognized  in  other
comprehensive  income  until the hedged  item is  recognized  in  earnings.  The
adoption of FAS 133 is not expected to have a material  impact on Krispy Kreme's
financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
          ------------------

         On March 9, 2000, a lawsuit was filed against the Company,  a member of
         management,  a franchisee  of the Company and other persons in Superior
         Court in the state of California. (Kevin L. Boylan and Bruce Newberg v.
         Golden Gate Doughnuts, LLC, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Corporation,  Krispy
         Kreme  Doughnuts,  Inc.,  Scott  Livengood,  Brad Bruckman,  and Does 1
         through 20,  Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles,  California,
         Case No.  RC226214).  The plaintiffs  allege that the Company and other
         defendants breached an agreement regarding plaintiffs' participation in
         a franchise  operation in Northern  California.  The  complaint,  which
         asserts   breach  of   contract,   promissory   estoppel,   intentional
         interference  with  contract  and  business  relations  and  breach  of
         fiduciary duty claims,  seeks unspecified money damages in an amount to
         be proven at trial,  but not less than $10 million.  The complaint also
         seeks punitive damages.  Although the Company had been negotiating with
         the  plaintiffs  with  respect to their  participation  in the Northern
         California franchise, numerous material differences regarding the terms
         and conditions of their participation were never resolved. As a result,
         no oral  agreement  was  ever  reached  and no  written  agreement  was
         executed.  Because  the  case  has  only  recently  been  filed,  it is
         difficult to predict its  outcome.  However,  based on the  information
         presently  available  to the  Company,  and  preliminary  review of the
         allegations and relevant facts,  the Company believes the complaint has
         no merit,  will not have a material  adverse effect on its consolidated
         financial  statements  and the  Company  will  consequently  vigorously
         defend the lawsuit.  No accrual for loss (if any) has been  provided in
         the accompanying financial statements.

         From time to time,  we are subject to other claims and suits arising in
         the course of our business,  none of which we believe is likely to have
         a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
         -----------------------------------------

         On April 10, 2000, the Company  closed its initial  public  offering by
         selling  3,450,000 shares of its common stock, no par value, at a price
         of $21  per  share,  raising  $65.7  million  after  expenses.  See the
         Company's  Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-92909),
         declared effective on April 3, 2000. The offering commenced on April 4,
         2000 and all securities  offered have been sold. The Company registered
         a proposed maximum  aggregate  offering price of $74.75 million and the
         actual  aggregate  offering  price  sold was $72.45  million.  Offering
         expenses and underwriting  discounts  amounted to  approximately  $6.75
         million.  The offering was managed by Deutsche Banc Alex.  Brown,  J.P.
         Morgan & Co., Dain Rausher Wessels and BB&T Capital  Markets.  Proceeds
         from the offering were used for  repayment of debt ($30.7  million) and
         capital distribution to existing shareholders as part of a pre-offering
         corporate  reorganization ($7.0 million). The remainder of the proceeds
         will  be  used  for   remodeling   and  relocation  of  selected  older
         company-owned stores, as well as general corporate purposes,  including
         working capital needs.  Currently,  these funds are invested in various
         government securities and short-term commercial paper instruments.
