                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - General:

    Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is a
single segment industry company engaged in the business of manufacturing and
distributing premium ice cream and other frozen dessert products to grocery and
convenience stores, foodservice accounts and independent distributors in the
United States.

The consolidated financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996 have not been audited by
independent public accountants, but include all adjustments, such as normal
recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated operating results for the periods. The statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. The
aforementioned statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended December 28, 1996, appearing in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

NOTE 2 - Financial Statement Presentation:

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements in order to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 3 - Inventories:

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in,
first-out method) or market. Inventories at June 28, 1997 and December 28, 1996
consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 4 - Net Income Per Common Share:

    Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period and dilutive common stock
equivalents if the dilution exceeds 3% of net income per common share. For the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997, the number of common shares
used in the calculation were 13,946,000 and 13,391,000, respectively. For the


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996 the number of common shares
used were 13,335,000 and 13,155,000, respectively. The potentially dilutive
effect of the Company's redeemable convertible Series B preferred stock and
other common stock equivalents used in the calculation of fully diluted net
income per common share was anti-dilutive for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996. Accordingly, fully diluted net
income per common share is not presented.


In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" (SFAS 128), was issued. SFAS 128 establishes new standards for
computing and disclosing earnings per share (EPS). The Company is required to
adopt SFAS 128 during the fourth quarter of 1997 effective in the Company's 1997
Annual Report to Stockholders. When adopted, SFAS 128 will require the Company
to replace its traditional EPS disclosures with a dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS and to restate all prior EPS data presented. If SFAS 128 had been in
effect for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997 and June 29,
1996, basic and diluted EPS would have been as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Strategic Plan

    The Company embarked on a five year plan (the Strategic Plan, also referred
to as the Grand Plan) during the second quarter of 1994 to accelerate the sales
of its brand throughout the country. The key elements of this plan are: 1) to
build a high margin brand with a leading market share through effective consumer
marketing activities, 2) to expand the Company's direct-store-delivery
distribution network to national scale and enhance this capability with
sophisticated information and logistics systems and 3) to introduce innovative
new products. The potential benefits of the Strategic Plan are increased market
share and future earnings above those levels that would be attained in the
absence of the Strategic Plan. As originally announced, the Company anticipated
that the cost of implementing the Strategic Plan would materially reduce
earnings during the fiscal years of 1994 and 1995. For fiscal 1996, earnings
improved to a net income of $6,997,000, or $0.15 per common share, on sales of
$791,841,000, from a net loss in 1995 of $(1,524,000), or $(0.26) per common
share, on sales of $678,797,000. This improvement is partially attributable to
benefits accruing from the investments made under the Strategic Plan during the
past two and a half years. The Company believes that the key elements of the
Strategic Plan have either been executed or are being executed and that, as a
result, the benefits anticipated under the Strategic Plan will be achieved in
future years. However, no assurance can be given that these expectations
relative to future market share and earnings benefits of the strategy will be
achieved. The realization of the benefits will depend upon, among other things,
continued consumer purchase responsiveness to the increased marketing
expenditures, competitors' marketing responses, market conditions affecting the
price of the Company's products, commodity costs and efficiencies achieved in
manufacturing and distribution operations.

To date in 1997, the Company recorded net income of $6,136,000 or $0.27 per
common share, on sales of $472,410,000, compared with net income of $6,704,000,
or $0.32 per common share, on sales of $378,538,000 for the same period of 1996.
Net profitability for the first two quarters of 1997 was lower than the prior
year primarily due to a $2,100,000 insurance settlement recorded as a reduction
of cost of goods sold in the prior year and higher advertising and trade
promotion expenses in the current year.


Thirteen Weeks ended June 28, 1997 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended 
June 29, 1996

     Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1997 increased 29%, or
$60,404,000, to $271,972,000 from $211,568,000 for the same period last year.
Sales of the Company's branded products were 32%, or $41,380,000, higher than
the comparable quarter in 1996 and accounted for the majority of the overall
sales increase. The increase in sales of the Company's branded products related
primarily to higher unit sales in all markets due in part to the continued
higher advertising and promotion spending under the Company's Strategic Plan.
The products that led this increase were Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Ice Cream,
Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Light(R) Ice Cream, Starbucks(TM) Ice Cream and Edy's
new Homemade Ice Cream. Sales of other companies' branded products (partner
brands) increased 23%, led by Healthy Choice(R) Low Fat Ice Cream from Con Agra,
Inc., frozen novelty and ice cream products from Nestle Ice Cream Company, and
Ben and Jerry's Homemade(R) superpremium products. Sales of partner brands
represented 38% of consolidated net sales compared with 39% in the same period
last year. Wholesale prices for the Company's branded products increased
approximately 3%. The effect of price increases for partner brands was not
significant.

Cost of goods sold increased $47,984,000, or 29%, over the second quarter of
1996, while the overall gross margin decreased to 21.8% from 22.1%. The gross
margin decreased due to lower margins on partner brands in 1997 caused by a
shift in the mix of products and a slight increase in distribution costs
relating to increased sales in the midwestern and eastern United States, where
distribution costs per unit are currently higher than the Company's average.
These decreases in gross margin were partially offset by an increase in sales of
the Company's branded products as a percent of consolidated net sales (which
carry a higher margin than partner brands) in the second quarter of 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1997 were
$9,773,000, or 26%, higher than in the same period of 1996. This increase
related primarily to significantly higher promotion expenses in the second


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
quarter of 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased slightly from 17.6% of net sales in 1996 to
17.3% of net sales in 1997.

Interest expense increased $475,000, or 21%, over the second quarter of 1996,
due primarily to additional interest expense from the issuance of senior notes
in the second quarter of 1996, partially offset by a reduction in interest
expense due to lower average borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

Income taxes increased primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 1997. The
effective tax rate increased to 39.3% for the second quarter of 1997 compared
with 38.0% for the second quarter of 1996.

Twenty-six Weeks ended June 28, 1997 Compared with Twenty-six Weeks ended 
June 29, 1996

     Consolidated net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997
increased 25%, to $472,410,000 compared with $378,538,000 for the same period
last year. Sales of the Company's branded products were 27%, or $63,775,000,
higher than in the same period last year and accounted for the majority of the
increase in total sales. The increase in sales of the Company's branded products
related primarily to higher unit sales in all markets due in part to the
continued higher advertising and promotion spending under the Company's
Strategic Plan. The products that led this increase were Dreyer's and Edy's
Grand Ice Cream, Starbucks(TM) Ice Cream, Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Light(R) Ice
Cream and Edy's new Homemade Ice Cream. Sales of partner brands increased 21%,
led by Healthy Choice(R) Low Fat Ice Cream from Con Agra, Inc. and frozen
novelty and ice cream products from Nestle Ice Cream Company. Sales of partner
brands represented 37% of consolidated net sales as compared with 38% in the
same period last year. Wholesale prices for the Company's branded products
increased approximately 3%. The effect of price increases for partner brands was
not significant.


Cost of goods sold increased $75,575,000, or 25%, as compared with 1996, while
the overall gross margin decreased slightly from 20.9% to 20.6% in 1997. The
gross margin decreased due to lower margins on partner brands in 1997 caused by
a shift in the mix of products and the reduction of prior year cost of goods
sold due to a $2,100,000 insurance gain recorded during the first quarter of
1996. These decreases in gross margin were partially offset by an increase in
sales of the Company's branded products as a percent of consolidated net sales
(which carry a higher margin than partner brands) in the second quarter of 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first two quarters of 1997
increased $17,679,000, or 27%, as compared with the same period in 1996. This
increase related primarily to significantly higher promotion expenses in the
first two quarters of 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percentage of net
sales from 17.6% for the first two quarters 1997 compared with 17.3% for the
same period in 1996.

Interest expense in the first two quarters of 1997 was $1,250,000, or 31%,
higher than in the same period in the prior year due primarily to additional
interest expense from the issuance of senior notes in the second quarter of
1996, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense due to lower average
borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

Income taxes decreased $207,000 reflecting a lower pre-tax income, while the
effective tax rate increased from 38.4% for the first two quarters of 1996 to
39.3% for the first two quarters of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Working capital at June 28, 1997 increased $22,158,000 from year-end 1996
due primarily to the seasonal increase in accounts receivable and inventories
partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Cash was provided primarily from borrowings on the Company's long term line of
credit and was used to fund a $16,052,000 increase in property, plant and
equipment.

At June 28, 1997, the Company had $1,500,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and
an unused credit line of $76,500,000. The Company believes that its credit line,
along with its liquid resources, internally generated cash and financing
capacity, are adequate to meet anticipated operating and capital requirements.

                         DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC.

                   COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
                                   (unaudited)


(1)  The number of shares of the Company's common stock obtainable upon exercise
     of outstanding options and warrants exceeded 20% of the number of common
     shares outstanding at the end of the period. However, the calculation of
     net income per common share using the modified treasury stock method as 
     required by paragraph 38 of APB Opinion No. 15 is not submitted because it
     results in dilution of less than 3%.
(2)  The number of shares of the Company's common stock obtainable upon exercise
     of outstanding options and warrants exceeded 20% of the number of common
     shares outstanding at the end of the period. However, the calculation of
     net income per common share using the modified treasury stock method as
     required by paragraph 38 of APB Opinion No. 15 is not submitted because it
     results in the same dilution of net income per common share as calculated
     under the treasury stock method.
(3)  This calculation is submitted in accordance with Regulation S-K item 601(b)
    (11) although it is contrary to APB Opinion No. 15 because it produces an 
     anti-dilutive effect.
