          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


NOTE 1
- ------

The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of Doughtie's Foods,
Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary.  All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Although  the  accompanying  financial  statements  are  unaudited,   management
believes that they contain all adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals)  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  position as of March 28,
1998 and  December 27, 1997,  results of  operations  for the three months ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29,  1997,  and cash flows for the three  months  ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29,  1997.  The results of  operations  for the periods
cited above are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

NOTE 2
- ------

On  February  28,  1997,  the  Company  sold  the  assets  of its  manufacturing
division's  barbecue  and chili  business  for  approximately  $840,000 in cash.
Barbecue and chili sales accounted for less than 5% of  consolidated  1996 sales
volume. The net pretax gain on the sale was approximately $50,000.

On April 14, 1997, the Company sold the assets of its  manufacturing  division's
deli meats  business for  approximately  $486,000.  The terms of the sale were a
$286,000  cash down  payment  with the  $200,000  balance in the form of secured
notes.  Deli meat sales  accounted for less than 5% of  consolidated  1996 sales
volume. The net pretax gain on the sale was approximately $140,000.

NOTE 3
- ------

Inventories are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market.
Because  inventory  valuations  under  the LIFO  method  are  based on an annual
determination,  estimates  must be made at interim  dates of year-end  costs and
levels of inventories.  The possibility of variations between estimated year-end
costs  and  levels of LIFO  inventories  and the  actual  year-end  amounts  may
materially  affect the results of operations as finally  determined for the full
year.

NOTE 4
- ------

Cash paid for  interest  totaled  $46,600 and $71,579 for the three months ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997, respectively.

Cash paid for income taxes totaled  $404,000 and $100 for the three months ended
March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997, respectively.


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


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Sales for the  quarter  ended  March 28,  1998 were  $19.3  million or 3.2%
higher than sales for the prior year's first quarter of $18.7 million.  Sales to
multi-unit customers account for the majority of the increase. This increase was
offset by a reduction in sales caused by the sales of the manufacturing division
in the first and second quarters of 1997.

     The  Company's  gross profit  margin  (gross  profit as a percentage of net
sales)  decreased  from 17.03% in the quarter ended March 29, 1997 to 16.83% for
the quarter ended March 28, 1998. This decrease was a result of the sales of the
manufacturing division, which had a higher markup.

     The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses,  expressed as a
percentage of net sales,  decreased  from 15.42% in the first quarter of 1997 to
15.09%  in  1998.  The  decrease  was a result  of the  increase  in sales  from
multi-unit  accounts  without a corresponding  increase in selling,  general and
administrative expense.

     Interest expense for the quarter ended March 28, 1998 decreased to 0.24% of
sales  compared  to 0.38% of sales  for the  first  quarter  of 1997.  Decreased
borrowing  levels  and lower  interest  rates  were the  cause of the  decreased
expense.  As the interest on the Company's debt is both London Interbank Offered
Rates (LIBOR) and prime related,  interest  expense will increase or decrease in
subsequent periods based on fluctuations in these rates and the borrowing levels
of the Company.

     Income tax  expense  was  $108,000  for the  quarter  ended  March  28,1998
compared to $86,000 for the corresponding period of 1997.

     The Company reported net income of $181,000 or $.12 per share for the first
quarter  of 1998  compared  to net income of  $144,000  or $.10 per share in the
first quarter of 1997.


Liquidity
- ---------

     The Company uses a number of liquidity  indicators for internal  evaluation
purposes.  Certain of these  measures as of March 28, 1998 and December  27,1997
are set forth below:

                                      March 28,     December 27,
                                        1998            1997
                                    ------------    ------------

  Total Debt to Total Debt Plus
     Stockholders' Equity                .22             .27

  Current Assets to Current
     Liabilities                        2.91            2.81

  Inventory Turnover (The
     Annualized Cost of Goods
     Sold to Ending Inventory)         15.01           15.23


     The Company's  liquidity  indicators  remained  relatively  unchanged  from
December 27,1997 until March 28, 1998.

     On February  28,  1997,  the Company  sold the assets of its  manufacturing
division's  barbecue  and chili  business  for  approximately  $840,000 in cash.
Barbecue and chili sales accounted for less than 5% of  consolidated  1996 sales
volume. The net pretax gain on the sale was approximately $50,000.

     On April  14,  1997,  the  Company  sold the  assets  of its  manufacturing
division's deli meats business for approximately $486,000. The terms of the sale
were a  $286,000  cash down  payment  with the  $200,000  balance in the form of
secured notes.  Deli meat sales accounted for less than 5% of consolidated  1996
sales volume. The net pretax gain on the sale was approximately $140,000.


Capital Resources
- -----------------

     The Company's debt financing at March 28, 1998, consisted of the following:

     A  $7,500,000  revolving  bank note at LIBOR plus 1.50%.  The LIBOR rate at
March 28, 1998 was 5.69%.  The note is due three years after the annual  renewal
date, currently July, 2000, subject to annual renewal. As of March 28, 1998, the
Company had borrowed  $950,660  against this credit line and had  $6,549,340  of
additional borrowing capacity.

     A  $2,000,000  Industrial  Revenue  Bond  from a bank  for the  purpose  of
expanding the Company's plant and office  facilities in Portsmouth,  Virginia at
an annual interest rate of 91.50% of prime. The prime rate at March 28, 1998 was
8.5%.  As of March 28,  1998,  the Company  had fully  utilized  the  Industrial
Revenue Bond and the outstanding balance was $566,666.

     A $1,750,000  bank term loan at LIBOR plus 1.50%.  The loan is to be repaid
in quarterly  installments  of $100,000.  As of March 28, 1998, the  outstanding
balance was $1,050,000.  The funds were used to finance the increased  inventory
and accounts  receivable  required to service a one-year contract awarded to the
Company in January 1996 by the United  States  Department  of Defense to furnish
food items to various military installations. The contract contains three yearly
renewal  options and was  renewed  for 1998.  The United  States  Department  of
Defense had estimated annual sales volume to be approximately $19 million. Based
on actual sales volume to date, estimated annual sales volume should approximate
$13 million.

     While the Company does not  anticipate  a material  increase in its capital
requirements in the near future, such an increase, if it occurs, is likely to be
met through additional long-term debt financing.
