 4.  Use of Estimates 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates 
     and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
     the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the  
     financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
     during the reporting period.  Actual results may vary from those
     estimates. 
 
 5.  Investments in and Receivables from Unconsolidated Affiliates. 
     The Company accounts for its investments in (5) five unconsolidated 
     affiliates using the equity method.  The Company's share of earnings from
     from these affiliates totaled $1,769,000 and $3,671,000 for the 14 weeks
     and 27 weeks ended October 3, 1998. The earnings reported for the 3 
     unconsolidated affiliates existing during the 13 and 26 weeks ended
     September 27, 1997 were $2,165,000 and $3,547,000 respectively.  

 6.  Year 2000 Compliance
     The Company is fully aware of the potential problems presented by the Year
     2000 as it relates to many systems throughout the company and with vendors
     and customers.  The Company has implemented a formal plan to address these
     issues.  Progress is monitored regularly with status reports to management
     and the Board of Directors.  The Company expects to be fully compliant by
     the end of the fiscal year on April 3, 1999. The total cost of this 
     program is not expected to materially affect earnings.


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial   
Condition and Results of Operation  
October 3, 1998   

Financial Condition    

The Company utilized strong earnings and cash flow to further reduce debt 
($12,088,000 since March 28, 1998) while extending its stock repurchase 
program, and re-purchasing 199,500 shares of stock during the second quarter.
As of October 3, 1998 the Company had $15,561,800 available for borrowing under
unsecured lines of credit and believes this to be adequate for anticipated
requirements.

Results of Operations  

Sales for the 14 week period ended October 3, 1998 declined by 10.87%. When the
quarter's revenue are adjusted to 13 weeks and the 27 weeks sales adjusted for
the extra week sales are 7.79% lower.  The reduced revenues are attributed to 
6.5% less production when 27 week period is adjusted to comparable 26 week. 
Total pounds produced for the quarter ended October 3, 1998, adjusted to 13 
weeks, was 5.12% greater than for the same quarter of a year ago. An additional
factor contributing to lower revenues is that the purchase of product outside 
for re-sale and for further processing was drastically reduced during the 
period. The Ga. Dock quoted market price was on the average slightly higher 
than a year ago for the same 6 month period.  The Ga. Dock Price for the 
quarter was approximately $.0627 per pound higher.  While white meat prices 
trended higher than a year ago, dark meat, which is predominantly an export 
item, has been severely depressed, consequently pulling down the revenues for 
the total company.

Gross margins for the quarter and 27 week period exceeded year ago levels by
12.68% and 9.04% respectively and is due mainly to feed cost which averaged 
21.6% lower for the 6 months as compared to the same period of a year ago and 
22.4% lower for the quarter ended October 3, 1998 as compared to the same 
period of a year ago.

Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses   

Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses increased by 10.3% and 2.9% for
the quarter and 6 months, respectively, ended October 3, 1998 as compared to 
comparable periods ended September 27, 1997.  These increases are mainly 
personnel related.

Interest Expense  

Interest expense for the quarter declined by 12.8% and for the 6 months by 13.1%
as compared to the same periods of a year ago.  The reduction is attributable to
reduced borrowing during the periods.

Other Income    

Other income declined by 16.8% and 16.01% for the quarter and 6 months 
respectively as compared to the comparable periods of a year ago and reflects 
the impact of start-up cost in the two Kentucky Joint Ventures which are 
recorded via the equity method and are consequently netted against the recorded 
earnings of the 3 other joint venture companies. 

Income Taxes    

The provision for income taxes reflects taxes at statutory rates adjusted for  
available tax credits to which the company is entitled.   

General

On July 27, 1998 the Company filed a report on Form 8-k disclosing the 
discovery of an act of employee dishonesty.  The Company continues to make 
progress on its legal actions to seize and convert to cash assets belonging to 
the perpetrator. Although the final outcome will not be know until all known 
assets are sold the Company believes the outlook is good for the recovery of 
a substantial portion of the loss with no significant impact on earnings.
