     Although Sara Lee Corporation believes that the Common Stock which it

Corporation will continue to monitor and evaluate its investment in the Issuer
in light of pertinent factors, including the following: (i) the Issuer's
business, operation, assets, financial condition and prospects; (ii) market,
general economic and other conditions; and (iii) other investment

of the Issuer, (ii) dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer
which it beneficially owns, (iii) increase or decrease its participation in the
determination of the Issuer's management and policies or replace one or more of
its representatives on the Board of Directors of the Issuer with other Sara Lee
Corporation representatives or (iv) propose a merger, consolidation, joint
venture or other business combination involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries
or divisions or a sale or purchase of assets or securities of the Issuer or its
subsidiaries or divisions or other similar actions.

     Except as described above, Sara Lee Corporation does not have either plans
or proposals that relate to or would result in: (i) the acquisition by any
person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities

(vii) changes in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other actions which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) a class
of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange
or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of
a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities
of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act of 1934; or (x) any action similar to any
of the enumerated above.

Page 47 of the Prospectus.

        In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and the management 
investors entered into an agreement with PYA/Monarch and the other 
Institutional Stockholders that provides for certain registration rights with 
respect to the Common Stock. See "Investment Considerations -- Shares Eligible 
for Future Sale; Registration Rights."
 
        In connection with the Acquisition, the Company, PYA/Monarch, the other 
Institutional Stockholders and the management investors entered into the
stockholders agreement which, among other things, provides for the election to
the Board of representatives of management and the Institutional Stockholders.
The stockholders agreement will terminate on the Offering Closing Date.
 
        Other Transactions.  The Company regularly purchases products from Sara 
Lee  and various Sara Lee affiliates for resale to its  customers. Purchases
from Sara Lee and such affiliates totalled $69.6 million in fiscal 1992, $63.9
million in fiscal 1993 and $69.8 million in fiscal 1994. The Company believes
that such purchases are at prices comparable to prices charged to unrelated
distributors of Sara Lee products.
 
        In the first quarter of fiscal 1992, the Company purchased from Sara 
Lee the inventory and certain other assets of a Midwestern foodservice
distribution operation with annual net sales of approximately $45 million. The
purchase price of $2.2 million was calculated based on the cost of the
inventory and the book value of the other acquired assets. In connection with
this acquisition, the Company leased certain real properties from Sara Lee. The
rental payments by the Company under the leases totaled $121,103 in fiscal
1992, $92,267 in fiscal 1993 and $33,560 in fiscal 1994.
 
        The Company purchases Monarch(R) brand labels from PYA/Monarch. The 
Company paid PYA/Monarch $34,325 in fiscal 1992, $130,815 in fiscal 1993 and 
$68,410 in fiscal 1994 for such labels.
 
        The Company paid PYA/Monarch interest on certain outstanding 
indebtedness of approximately $9.9 million in fiscal 1992, $11.4 million in 
fiscal 1993 and $9.0 million in fiscal 1994, all of which was paid in kind.
 
        Common Stock Issuances in Recapitalization.  As part of the     
Recapitalization, approximately $40.6 million principal amount of the 10%
Junior Subordinated PIK Notes held by PYA/Monarch will be converted into
3,381,787 shares of Common Stock. In addition, all of the Company's outstanding
Senior Preferred Stock, which is held by PYA/Monarch, will be converted into
23,083 shares of Common Stock. See "The Recapitalization -- Conversion to
Common Stock."
