               The undersigned Registrant hereby amends Item 5 of its
   Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1994
   to read in its entirety as follows:


   Item 5.   OTHER INFORMATION

   a.     Sale of Stock

          On August 1, 1994, the Company consummated the sale of its frozen
          foods business (the "Division") to ConAgra, Inc., a Delaware
          corporation ("ConAgra").  The transaction took the form of the sale
          of the stock of Universal Frozen Foods Co., a subsidiary of the
          Company (the "Subsidiary"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement,
          dated as of April 15, 1994, among ConAgra, the Company and
          Universal Holding, Inc. (the "Stock Purchase Agreement").  The
          parties amended the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to a First
          Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 21,
          1994 (the "First Amendment"), among ConAgra, the Company and
          Universal Holding, Inc. (the Stock Purchase Agreement as amended,
          the "Amended Stock Purchase Agreement").  There is no material
          relationship between ConAgra and the Company or any of its
          affiliates, directors or officers or any of their associates.  

          The Division produced frozen potato products for U.S. and
          international markets.  It was headquartered in Boise, Idaho and
          operated processing facilities in Idaho, Oregon and Washington,
          employing approximately 2,000 people.  Under the Amended Stock
          Purchase Agreement, the cash purchase price for the Division was
          $202,000,000.  Of such amount, $163,000,000 was paid on August 1,
          1994 and the balance was paid December 21, 1994.  Among other
          things, the First Amendment eliminated earnout consideration that
          was to be payable over a five-year period.  In connection with the
          transaction, the Company also agreed to make an election under
          Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat
          the sale of stock of the Subsidiary as a sale of all of the assets
          of the Subsidiary for federal income tax purposes and state income
          tax purposes.  

          The foregoing summary description of the terms of the transaction
          is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase
          Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2 hereto, and to the First
          Amendment, attached as Exhibit 2A hereto, which exhibits are
          incorporated by reference herein.

          The foregoing description is included herein in lieu of reporting
          the transaction on a Form 8-K Current Report.

   b.     Financial Statement and Pro Forma Information

          The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance
          Sheet as of June 30, 1994 and the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
          Statements of Income  for the 9 month period then ended and the
          year ended September 30, 1993 give effect to the sale of the
          Company's frozen foods business.  The adjustments related to the
          Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet assume the
          transaction was consummated at June 30, 1994, while the adjustments
          to the Pro Forma Condensed consolidated Income Statements assume
          the transaction was consummated at the beginning of the period
          presented.  The actual sale occurred on August 1, 1994.  The pro
          forma information is based on the historical financial statements
          for the Company which have been adjusted to reflect the
          discontinued operations.  These unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
          Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of
          the results that actually would have occurred if the sale had been
          in effect as of and for the periods presented, or what may be
          achieve by the Company's continuing operations in the future.  The
          unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
          should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's historical
          financial statements and notes thereto, contained in the Company's
          annual report on form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1993.

             "7.12.1   The operations of the Company have been conducted
                       and carried on in the ordinary course consistent
                       with its past practices.

             7.12.7    There has been no material adverse change in or
                       with respect to the operations, assets,

                       relationships with it and, to the knowledge of
                       Seller and Parent, no state of facts exists which
                       may reasonably be expected to give rise to any
                       such material adverse change.

             7.12.9    There has been no change by the Company in any

   Subsection 15.6.3 of Section 15.6 is hereby further amended by deleting
   the reference in such subsection to the words "the then remaining Earnout
   Consideration" and substituting therefore "Ten Million Dollars
   ($10,000,000).

        7.   Waiver of Liability.  As inducement to the execution of this
   Amendment, the Purchaser hereby agrees to waive any breach of the

   such agreement shall not be enforced or effective against the Company and
   that the provisions of the Agreement supersede any such agreement.

        Subject to waivers set forth herein, the Stock Purchase Agreement is
   hereby reaffirmed by the parties hereto subject to the amendments
   contained herein.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment
