Item 2.
    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
    of Operations

    Sales in the second quarter of the 1995 fiscal year increased $107,000
    (.4%) over sales in the same quarter last year to $26,636,000. 
    Compared to the prior fiscal quarter, sales decreased by $1,869,000
    (6.6%).  The changes in comparative sales relate primarily to differences
    in unit sales volume.  The decrease in sales from the prior fiscal quarter
    reflects normal seasonal activity and changes in product mix.  Sales for
    the first twenty-six weeks of the 1995 fiscal year increased $194,000
    (.4%) to $55,140,000 compared to the same period last year. The
    increase in sales relates primarily to higher overall unit sales volume. 

    Cost of products sold in the second quarter of 1995 increased $34,000
    (.2%) to $17,117,000 compared to the second quarter of the 1994 fiscal
    year.  When compared to the prior fiscal quarter, cost of products sold
    decreased $1,285,000 (7.0%). Cost of products sold in the first half of
    the 1995 fiscal year decreased $291,000 (.8%) to $35,519,000
    compared to the first half of 1994.  The changes in cost of products sold
    for the respective periods relate primarily to lower ingredient costs,
    fluctuations in unit sales volume and differences in product mix between
    the first and second quarters of 1995.                                
                                          
    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,295,000 in the
    second quarter of the 1995 fiscal year, which represents a decrease of
    $90,000 (1.4%) when compared to the same period of 1994.  Selling,
    general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1994
    decreased $1,096,000 (14.8%) from the prior fiscal quarter.  For the first
    half of the 1995 fiscal year, selling, general and administrative expenses
    increased $107,000 (.8%) to $13,687,000 compared to the same period
    in 1994.  Selling, general and administrative expenses generally ran a
    parallel course with changes in sales volume in the respective periods.

    Depreciation expense in the second quarter of 1995 was $522,000, the
    same as the prior fiscal quarter.  Compared to the same period last year,
    depreciation expense increased $31,000 (6.3%) and the $1,043,000 in
    depreciation expense for the first half of 1995 was $62,000 (6.3%)
    higher than the same period in 1994.  
<PAGE>

    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
    of Operations (Continued)

    The effective tax rate in the first half of 1995 was 38.0%, consistent
    with the same period in the prior year. 

    Cash and cash equivalents increased $914,000 (7.2%) to $13,562,000
    in the first half of the 1995 fiscal year.  Cash flows from operating
    activities ($4,312,000) were favorably influenced by net income for the
    period ($3,032,000), depreciation expense ($1,043,000) and reductions
    in accounts receivable balances ($1,248,000).  For the first half of the
    prior fiscal year, cash and cash equivalents benefited from depreciation
    ($982,000), decreases in accounts receivable ($910,000) and increases
    in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($903,000).

    Cash used in the first half of the 1995 fiscal year for additions to
    property, plant and equipment totaled $2,176,000.  The amount reflects
    the Company's continued investment in manufacturing facilities and
    transportation equipment.  Significant capital expenditures are currently in
    process related to projects that extend into fiscal year 1995 and beyond. 
    These expenditures include a food processing facility in North Carolina
    and extensive additions to the two existing plants in Texas. Total capital
    expenditures for these projects in the $9 to $10 million range are
    currently anticipated.
      
    Cash used for financing activities consists of cash dividends in the
    amount of $1,222,000 in the first half of 1995, an increase of $282,000
    (30.0%) over the comparable period last year.  The increase relates to a
    three-cent per share extra cash dividend paid in the first quarter of 1995
    in addition to the regular five-cent per share cash dividends paid in the
    first and second quarters of 1995 and 1994.

    The Company remained free of interest bearing debt during the first half
    of 1994.  The Company extended its revolving line of credit with Bank of
    America that now expires April 30, 1997 and provides for borrowings up
    to $2,000,000.  The Company has not borrowed under the line for more
    than eight years.

    The impact of inflation on the Company's financial position and results of
    operations has not been significant.  Management is of the opinion that
    the Company's strong financial position and its capital resources are
    sufficient to provide for its operating needs and capital expenditures.
