                  NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




Note 1      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
            consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
            (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
            present fairly the financial position and the results of
            operations and cash flows.

            The results of operations for the three months and six months 
            ended March 25, 1995 and March 26, 1994 are not necessarily
            indicative of results for the full year. Sales of the Company's
            retail stores are generally higher in the first quarter due to
            the holiday shopping season. Sales of the Company's frozen
            carbonated beverages are generally higher in the third and
            fourth quarters due to seasonal factors.
            
            While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
            adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested
            that these consolidated financial statements be read in
            conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
            notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
            the year ended September 24, 1994.

Note 2      Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
            common shares  outstanding, including common stock equivalents
            (stock options).

Note 3      Inventories consist of the following:

Note 4      The Company adopted FAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
            Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" at December 24, 1994. 
            This new standard requires investments in securities to be
            classified in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading
            and available for sale.  Debt securities that the Company has
            the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
            classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized
            cost.  As the Company does not engage in security trading, the 
             
                                       7
            balance of its debt securities and any equity securities are
            classified as available for sale.  Net unrealized gains and
            losses  for such securities, net of tax are reported as a
            separate component of stockholders' equity and excluded from the
            determination of net income.

            Proceeds on sales of securities classified as available for sale
            were $37,000 in the quarter ended March 25, 1995 with a $3,000
            gain realized and $2,085,000 in the six months ended March 25,
            1995 with a gain of $3,000 realized.  The Company uses the
            specific identification method to determine the cost of   
            securities sold.

            The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market
            values of the Company's available for sale and held to maturity
            securities held at March 25, 1995 are summarized as follows:

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's current cash and marketable securities balances and cash
expected to be provided by future operations are its primary sources of
liquidity.  The Company believes that these sources, along with its borrowing
capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth and expansion.

      The devaluation of the Mexican peso caused a reduction of $654,000 and
$1,261,000 in stockholders' equity for the three months and six months ended
March 25, 1995, respectively.  The Company is experiencing a dollar decline
in the sales of its Mexican frozen carbonated beverage subsidiary of about 65%
due primarily to the devaluation. The Company anticipates that the sales
decline from last year's levels will continue for at least the balance of its
fiscal year.  In fiscal year 1994, sales of the Mexican subsidiary were
$2,687,000.

      During the six months ended March 25, 1995, the Company purchased and
retired 539,100 shares of its common stock at a cost of $6,303,000.

      Subsequent to the second quarter, the Company sold its syrup and flavor
manufacturing subsidiary, Western Syrup Company, to an unrelated third party
for cash and notes.  The Company does not anticipate that the sale of Western
will have a material impact on its operations or financial position.

      Available to the Company are unsecured general purpose bank lines of
credit totalling $25,000,000.
              
Results of Operations

      Net sales increased slightly to $40,317,000 for the three months and
$2,858,000 or 4% to $81,534,000 for the six months ended March 25, 1995.
  
      Sales to food service customers increased $985,000 or 6% in the second
quarter to $17,952,000 and $3,153,000 or 9% to $36,902,000 in the six months. 
Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 7% to $12,271,000 in
the second quarter and 10% to $24,590,000 in the six months due to expanded
unit volume. Increased penetration in warehouse clubs and schools and new
products accounted for most of the added pretzel volume.  Frozen juice treat
and dessert sales increased 6% to $2,644,000 in the three months and 3% to
$5,513,000 in the six months.  Churro sales to food service customers
decreased 10% to $2,147,000 in the second quarter and 5% to $4,313,000 in the
six months.  One customer accounted for all of the churro sales decrease.  All
foodservice sales increases and decreases were due primarily to changes in
unit volume.

      Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $532,000 or 6% to
$10,119,000 in the second quarter and less than 1% to $17,502,000 in the first
half. Soft pretzel sales for the second quarter were up 2% to $8,038,000 and
for the six months were down 2% to $14,131,000. The sales decline for the six

                                        9
months was due primarily to increased competition. Sales of the flagship
SUPERPRETZEL brand soft pretzels, excluding SOFTSTIX, increased 3% in the
second quarter and  were essentially unchanged in the six months.  Softstix
sales decreased $77,000 or 6% to $1,261,000 in the second quarter and $387,000
or 14% to $2,411,000 in the six months. Sales of Luigi's Real Italian Ice
increased $324,000 or 21% to $1,848,000 in the second quarter and $567,000 or
24% to  $2,935,000 in the first half.  All of the retail supermarket increases
and decreases were due primarily to changes in unit volume. 

      Frozen carbonated beverage and related product sales decreased $742,000 
or 9% to $7,514,000 in the second quarter and $417,000 or 3% to $16,249,000
in the six months.  Sales of the Company's Mexican frozen carbonated beverage
subsidiary were down $482,000 or 65% in the second quarter and $491,000 or 35%
in the six months due to the devaluation of the peso and the business downturn
in Mexico.  Equipment and parts sales were down $214,000 or 76% in the second
quarter and $188,000 or 60% in the six months due to reduced demand.  Beverage
sales alone decreased 5% to $7,147,000 in the second quarter and were
essentially unchanged in the six months with sales of $15,361,000 even though
there were an increased number of frozen carbonated beverage dispensers at
customer locations primarily because of lower sales in Mexico and the net loss
of higher volume accounts elsewhere. 
      
      Bakery sales decreased $670,000 or 27% to $1,799,000 in the second
quarter and increased $141,000 or 3% to $4,286,000 in the first six months. 
The three month decline was due to a reduction of purchases by a single
customer.  Syrup and topping product sales decreased $207,000 and $441,000 in
the second quarter and six months, respectively. 
      
      Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 50% in the current
three and six month periods from 51% and 52% in the corresponding periods last
year. This gross profit percentage decrease is primarily attributable to
higher raw material and packaging costs, increased manufacturing overhead
costs due to recent expansions of production capacity and lower selling prices
on incremental foodservice sales. 
        
      Total operating expenses increased $1,460,000 in the second quarter and
as a percentage of sales increased to 50% from 47% in last year's same
quarter.  For the first half, operating expenses increased $2,944,000 and as
a percentage of sales increased to 49% from 47% last year. Marketing expenses
increased from 30% to 33% in the second quarter and from 31% to 33% in the six
months primarily because of higher frozen carbonated beverage marketing
expenses combined with lower frozen carbonated beverage sales compared to last
year and higher retail supermarket advertising and marketing allowance
spending. Distribution expenses were 11% of sales in all periods.
Administrative expenses were 5% of sales in all periods.
      
      Operating income decreased $1,854,000 or 98% to $30,000 in the second
quarter and $2,972,000 or 79% to $785,000 in the first half. 



                                       10


      Investment income increased in the second quarter and six months due
to higher levels of interest rates on invested funds. Interest expense
decreased slightly in the second quarter and six months due to the reduction
of debt.

      Sundry income of $534,000 in the quarter was essentially unchanged from
last year while sundry decreased $111,000 to $466,000 in the six months.  This
year's second quarter sundry income included a gain on an insurance settlement
and last year's amount included a gain on the sale of land.

      The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 38% in all periods.

      Net earnings decreased $1,143,000 or 71% in the current three month
period to $467,000 and $1,900,000 or 65% in the current six month period to
$1,017,000.
