               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 ended December 30, 1995 
       and December 24, 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 30, 1995.

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:

                                    December 30,     September 30, 
                                       1995              1995

       disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument  
       assets and liabilities. The Company will provide these new disclosures 
       at September 29, 1996.

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.

      In the quarter ended December 30, 1995, the devaluation of the Mexican 
peso caused a reduction of $263,000 in stockholders' equity because of the 
revaluation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican frozen carbonated 
beverage subsidiary.  Dollar Sales of this subsidiary were about 50% lower than 
a year ago due to the devaluation and continuing economic problems in Mexico.

      During the first quarter, the Company purchased and retired 116,000 shares
of its common stock at a cost of $1,370,000.

      During the third quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company sold its syrup 
and flavor manufacturing subsidiary, Western Syrup Company, to an unrelated 
third party for cash and notes.  During the quarter ended December 24, 1994 
Western Syrup Company generated an after tax loss of approximately $170,000.  
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 $1,646,000 or 4% to $42,863,000 for the three months
ended December 30, 1995 compared to the three months ended December 24, 1994.  
Net sales, excluding sales of Western Syrup Company for both periods, increased
$2,115,000 or  5%.  

      Sales to food service customers increased $3,426,000 or 18% in the first
quarter to $22,376,000.  Soft pretzel sales to the food service market 
increased 20% to $14,734,000 in the quarter primarily due to increased 
distribution. Two customers accounted for over 90% of the soft pretzels 
sales' increase.  Frozen juice treat and dessert sales increased 1% to 
$2,902,000 in the quarter. Churro sales to food service customers increased 
9% to $2,360,000.  All foodservice sales increases were due primarily to 
expanded unit volume.  Approximately 26% of the overall increase in sales to 
foodservice customers was accounted for by equipment sales.

      Sales of products to retail supermarkets decreased $103,000 or 1% to
$7,280,000 in the first quarter. Soft pretzel sales for the first quarter were
down  4% to $5,871,000 due primarily to decreased distribution of SOFTSTIX. 
SOFTSTIX sales decreased $348,000 to $802,000 in  the quarter. Sales of the
flagship SUPERPRETZEL brand soft pretzels, excluding SOFTSTIX, decreased 2% in 
the first quarter.  Sales of Luigi's Real Italian Ice increased $97,000 or 9% to
$1,184,000 


                                  9
in the first quarter.  All of the increases and decreases were due primarily to
changes in unit volume. 
                                   
     Frozen carbonated beverage and related product sales decreased $247,000 or 
3% to $8,488,000 in the first quarter.  Beverage sales alone decreased 3% to
$7,968,000 due to lower sales of our Mexican frozen carbonated beverage
subsidiary.

     Bakery sales decreased $909,000 or 37% to $1,578,000 in the first quarter
due to decreased product sales to two major customers. Sales of Bavarian Pretzel
Bakery decreased $52,000 or 2% to $3,141,000 in the quarter due to lower unit
volume. 
     
     Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 49% in the current first
quarter from 50% in the year ago period.  This gross profit percentage decrease
is primarily attributable to higher raw material and packaging costs.

     Total operating expenses increased $187,000 in the first quarter but as a
percentage of sales decreased to 47% from 49% in last year's same quarter. 
Marketing expenses were 32% of sales in both year's first quarters.  
Distribution expenses decreased to 10% of sales from 11% of sales last year due 
primarily to changes in methods of distribution in our frozen carbonated 
beverage subsidiary.  Administrative expenses declined less than 1/2 of one 
percent of sales to 4% from 5% last year due to a combination of lower 
overall expenses and an increase in sales volume.
     
     Operating income increased $185,000 or 25% to $940,000 in the first 
quarter. 

     Interest income increased $119,000 to $411,000 in the quarter from last 
year due to a higher level of investable funds invested at higher interest 
rates.

     Interest expense remained essentially unchanged from last year's quarter. 

     Sundry increased $85,000 to income of $17,000 in the quarter due primarily
to lower legal expenses related to a past acquisition compared to last year.

     The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 35% in this year's 
first quarter compared to 38% last year.  The lower rate this year is due to tax
benefits derived by our Mexican subsidiary and other factors.  

     Net earnings increased $277,000 or 50% in the current three month period to
$827,000.
