(1)   Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  financial  information  is unaudited, but, in  the opinion of
management,  reflects all  adjustments  (which  include only normally  recurring
adjustments)  necessary  to present  fairly the  Company's  financial  position,
operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.  Certain information
and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles have been condensed or
omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The financial  information  should be read in conjunction  with the
audited  financial  statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 30,
1995  included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the twenty-six
week period ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                      Condition and Results of Operations


The following is  management's  discussion  and analysis of certain  significant
factors  which have  affected the  Company's  financial  position and  operating
results  during the periods  included in the  accompanying  condensed  financial
statements.  The  discussion  and  analysis  contains  trend  analysis and other
forward-looking  statements.  Actual results could differ  materially from those
projected  in the  forward-looking  statements  as a result  of  changes  in the
economy,  changes in the Company's product sales mix and other factors which may
be beyond the Company's control.

Results of Operations

Thirteen Weeks Ended June 29, 1996 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended 
July 1, 1995

Net sales for the  thirteen  weeks  ended  June 29,  1996  were  $1,679,000,  an
increase of  $192,000,  or 13% from the sales level  realized  for the  thirteen
weeks ended July 1, 1995. The Company's frozen dessert line (principally novelty
items),  and food product line, both showed  increases  during this period.  The
Company's gross profit for the current quarter  increased by $33,000,  while its
gross  profit  percentage  decreased  to 37% compared to 40% for the same period
last year. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was due to an increase in
novelty and food  product  sales  during the 1996 period.  The  Company's  gross
profit on novelties and food products is less than on pints.

The Company  anticipates  a  continuing  increase in sales  during the third and
fourth  quarters  of the  current  fiscal  year due to the  introduction  of new
products and expanded  distribution.  Such  increases are dependent  upon market
acceptance of these products, for which no assurance can be given.

Selling expenses  increased  slightly to $238,000 for the current fiscal quarter
compared with $228,000 for the  comparable  period last year, due to an increase
in freight and  commission  expenses  related to the higher  sales  level.  This
decrease was due to a reduction of payroll costs.  Marketing and sales promotion
expenses  decreased to $73,000 in 1996 from $120,000 in 1995.  This decrease was
due  principally to the costs  associated with a radio  advertising  campaign in
northern California during the 1995 period which was not repeated in 1996.

Research and  development  expenses  increased to $57,000 for the thirteen weeks
ended June 29, 1996 from $40,000 in the  comparable  1995 period,  reflecting an
increase in related  research and development  costs incurred in the development
of the Company's new products.

General and  administrative  expenses  were  $190,000  for the  current  quarter
compared with $155,000 for the comparable period in 1995,  reflecting  increased
building maintenance costs, professional fees and outside services.


Twenty-Six  Weeks  Ended  June 29, 1996 Compared  with  Twenty-Six  Weeks  Ended
July 1, 1995

Net sales for the  twenty-six  weeks  ended June 29,  1996 were  $2,774,000,  an
increase of $264,000,  or 11% from the sales level  realized for the  twenty-six
weeks ended July 1, 1995. The Company's frozen dessert line (principally novelty
items)  and food product line  both  showed  increases  during this period.  The
Company's  gross profit for the current period  increased by $34,000,  while its
gross profit percentage  decreased to 38% as compared to 41% for the same period
last year. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was due to an increase in
novelty and food  product  sales  during the 1996 period.  The  Company's  gross
profit on novelties and food products is less than on pints.

Selling  expenses  decreased  slightly to $398,000 for the current fiscal period
compared  with  $400,000 for the  comparable  period last year.  The increase in
freight,  commission and warehouse expenses  associated with the increased sales
level was offset by a reduction in payroll costs.  Marketing and sales promotion
expenses  decreased to $115,000  from  $157,000 in 1995.  This  increase was due
principally  to the  costs  associated  with a  radio  advertising  campaign  in
northern California during 1995, which was not repeated in 1996.

Research and  development  expenses were $99,000 for the twenty-six  weeks ended
June 29,  1996,  compared  with  $82,00  for the  comparable  period  last year,
reflecting an increase in related research and development costs incurred in the
development of the Company's new products.

General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $370,000  for the  current  period
compared with $328,000 for the comparable period in 1995,  reflecting  increased
building maintenance costs, professional fees and outside services.

The Company's imputed interest expense was $7,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended
June 29, 1996 compared with $6,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  working  capital was $731,000 at June 29,  1996,  an increase of
$69,000 from  December  30,  1995.  Accounts  receivable  increased  slightly to
$1,060,000  at June 29,  1996,  an increase of $54,000  from  December 30, 1995.
Inventories  increased  by $75,000  due  principally  to an increase in finished
goods inventory reflecting the higher sales level and new product introductions.

Prepaid  expenses  decreased by $5,000 to $6,000 at June 29, 1996, due primarily
to the amortization of the Company's  business insurance which renews in August.
Deferred  taxes and other  assets  were  unchanged  from  December  30,  1995 at
$264,000 and $56,000 respectively.

Accounts payable increased by $235,000 to $599,000 at June 29, 1996,  reflecting
the higher  sales level and increase in  inventory,  while  accrued  liabilities
declined from December 30, 1995 by $94,000 to $92,000 at June 29, 1996.

As a result of the Company's inability to secure additional  financing or equity
capital, it has not had sufficient funds to fully implement the marketing of its
new products. This has hindered the Company in its efforts to increase the sales
of its  products.  The Company  continues  to fund its  operations  from current
resources.  Based on recent  sales  trends and the planned  introduction  of new
products  in the third and fourth  quarters of this year,  the Company  believes
that its revenues  will improve in 1996.  Management  believes that it will have
sufficient  financial  resources to continue its  operations  through the coming
year.

The Company does not have any material capital commitments.
