               NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                 -----------------------------------------------

1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures
normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally
made in the registrant's annual Form 10-K filing. Accordingly, the reader of
this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the registrant's Form 10-K for the year
ended October 31, 1996, for further information in this regard.

The accompanying financial statements for comparative purposes have been made to
conform to the format of the registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended October
31, 1996, and have been prepared in accordance with the registrant's customary
accounting practices and have not been audited. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for
fair presentation of this information have been made.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results
         of Operation.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and the condensed
consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations in the company's October 31, 1996, Form 10-K. The results of
operations for the three months ended January 31, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the entire year.

Results of Operations

First Three Months of Fiscal 1997 Compared to the First Three Months of Fiscal
1996.

A comparison of material changes between the three months ended January 31,
1997, and the comparable period for the previous year shows:

Sales for the first quarter of 1997 were $136,858,000, a small decrease from the
same quarter of 1996 when sales were $136,958,000. There were several
contributing factors that both positively and negatively affected the sales
dollars. Total equipment sales were up by $3,482,000, with KFC primarily
responsible for the increase. Taco Bell equipment also posted an increase along
with Canada. Food and packaging sales for the first quarter 1997 were down by a
net $3,659,000. All concepts except KFC in the United States had sales
increases. The decrease in KFC sales were primarily a result of (1) a shift in
some market from a frozen chicken product to a fresh product for Chicken Tenders
(TM) (2) an overall decrease of 14% in the prices of frozen chicken products,
and (3) a decrease of 21% in the price of shortening. Savings generated by these
price decreases directly impact the store costs, but are reflected in our
financial statements as lower sales. The strength of the Cooperative continues
to grow and we continue to focus our efforts on the mission to lower store door
delivered costs to the membership.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first three months of 1997
increased to 2.65% from 2.55% in 1996. The small increase between the two
periods demonstrates the continuity of pricing strategies from 1996 to 1997.
Gross margins are constantly being evaluated to provide competitive prices to
our customers while maintaining the level of service required to fulfill the
Cooperative's mission.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to $2,853.486, a
 .14% increase from 1996 to 1997. The increase is primarily associated with the
additional staff attributable to the expansion of the international division. On
January 1, 1997 five new positions were created to provide services to
international customers. Management is constantly monitoring costs to provide
the required service to the stockholder members and other customers.

Management believes the current provision for losses on uncollectible accounts
to be adequate.

The provision for patronage dividend for 1997 has been calculated and accrued on
a formula approved by the Board of Directors. Patronage dividends for fiscal
1997 will be apportioned based on stockholder concepts and their relative
contribution to income before patronage dividend and taxes.

On January 23, 1997, PepsiCo announced that it would pursue a plan to spin off
its restaurant businesses, including KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, to PepsiCo
shareholders as an independent company. PepsiCo also announced that it is
examining the sale of PFS, who currently distributes more than $3 billion worth
of restaurant equipment and supplies each year, primarily to Pizza Hut, Taco
Bell and KFC restaurants.

The Cooperative believes that it was PepsiCo's intend that PFS, for profit,
dominate and control purchasing and distribution throughout PepsiCo's system of
approximately 29,000 worldwide company-owned, franchised and licensed restaurant
systems, including KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants and outlets. The
Cooperative believes that PFS was, and still maybe attempting to eliminate the
Cooperative and force independent distributors out of the KFC and Taco Bell
business through initial low prices and other means such as a failure to
properly administer the process by which independent distributors are approved
and by which additional suppliers of Equipment and Supplies are approved. It is
uncertain, as of the present date, how the announced possible sale and/or spin
off of PFS will affect the operations of the Cooperative.


Financial Condition at January 31, 1997 Compared to Financial Condition at
October 31, 1996.

Net working capital at January 31, 1997, was $17,615,167, which is a modest
decrease of $225,381 since October 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents, and
accounts receivable decreased by $3,776,455, and $3,099,441, respectively. These
working capital items were offset by an increase in inventories of $852,676 as
well as decreases in short term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued expenses
and patronage dividends of $580,909, $2,520,178, $456,404 and $2,238,967,
respectively.
