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 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995 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).

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 six months ended March 30, 1996, the devaluation of the Mexican
peso caused a reduction of $232,000 in stockholders' equity because of the
revaluation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican frozen carbonated
beverage subsidiary. For the six months ended March 30, 1996, dollar sales
of this subsidiary were about 20% lower than a year ago due to the devaluation
and continuing economic problems in Mexico; however, for the three months
ended March 30, 1996, dollars sales increased 44% from the year earlier
period.
During the six months ended March 30, 1996, the Company purchased and
retired 243,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $2,910,000.
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 three and six months
ended March 25, 1995 Western Syrup Company generated an after tax loss of
approximately $110,000 and $280,000, respectively. 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 $1,821,000 or 5% to $42,138,000 for the three
months and $3,467,000 or 4% to $85,001,000 for the six months ended March 30,
1996. Net sales, excluding sales of Western Syrup Company for all periods,
increased 6% for the three months and 5% for the six months. Excluding a
pricing adjustment to frozen carbonated beverage sales, net sales increased
3% for the three months and 4% for the six months.
Sales to food service customers increased $1,748,000 or 10% in the
second quarter to $19,700,000 and $5,174,000 or 14% to $42,076,000 in the six
months. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 8% to
$13,211,000 in the second quarter and 14% to $27,945,000 in the six months due
to increased distribution. Two customers accounted for over 85% of the soft
pretzel sales increase in both the three and six month periods. Frozen juice
treat and dessert sales increased 13% to $2,989,000 in the three months and
7% to $5,891,000 in the six months. Churro sales to food service customers
increased 20% to $2,584,000 in the second quarter and 15% to $4,944,000 in the
six months. All foodservice sales increases were due primarily to changes in
unit volume. Approximately 17% of the overall first half increase in sales
to foodservice customers was accounted for by equipment sales.
9
Sales of products to retail supermarkets decreased $912,000 or 9% to
$9,207,000 in the second quarter and 6% to $16,487,000 in the first half. Soft
pretzel sales for the second quarter were down 12% to $7,106,000 and for the
six months were down 8% to $12,977,000. The sales decline for the second
quarter and six months was due to increased competition and a decline in
overall supermarket soft pretzel sales. Sales of the flagship SUPERPRETZEL
brand soft pretzels, excluding SOFTSTIX, decreased 11% in the second quarter
and 7% for the six months. Softstix sales decreased $451,000 or 36% to
$810,000 in the second quarter and $799,000 or 33% to $1,612,000 in the six
months. Sales of Luigi's Real Italian Ice increased $31,000 or 2% to
$1,879,000 in the second quarter and $128,000 or 4% to $3,063,000 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 increased
$1,364,000 or 18% to $8,878,000 in the second quarter and $1,117,000 or 7%
to $17,366,000 in the six months. Beverage sales alone increased 18% to
$8,401,000 in the second quarter and increased 7% to $16,369,000 in the six
months. A pricing adjustment and increased sales of promotional cups to one
customer accounted for virtually all of the three and six month sales
increases.
Bakery sales increased $305,000 or 17% to $2,104,000 in the second
quarter and decreased $604,000 or 14% to $3,682,000 in the first six months.
The changes in sales were due to increases and decreases in unit volume.
Sales of our Bavarian Pretzel Bakery decreased 9% to $2,249,000 in the
second quarter and 5% to $5,390,000 in the six month period.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 49% in the current
three and six month periods from 50% in the corresponding periods last year.
This gross profit percentage decrease is primarily attributable to higher raw
material and packaging costs.
Total operating expenses decreased $393,000 in the second quarter and
as a percentage of sales decreased to 47% from 50% in last year's same
quarter. For the first half, operating expenses decreased $206,000 and as a
percentage of sales decreased to 47% from 49% last year. Marketing expenses
were 32% and 33% of sales in both year's three and six month periods,
respectively. Distribution expenses decreased to 10% of sales in both periods
this year from 11% of sales last year due primarily to changes in methods of
distribution in our frozen carbonated beverage subsidiary. Administration
expenses decreased to 4% of sales in both periods this year from 5% of sales
last year due to a combination of lower overall expenses and an increase in
sales volume.
Operating income increased $667,000 to $697,000 in the second quarter
and $852,000 or 109% to $1,637,000 in the first half. Excluding a pricing
adjustment to frozen carbonated beverage sales, operating income increased
$142,000 to $172,000 in the second quarter and $327,000 or 42% to $1,112,000
in the first half.
Investment income increased $66,000 to $365,000 in the second quarter
and $185,000 to $776,000 in the six months due primarily to higher levels of
investable funds.
10
Sundry income of $534,000 in the second quarter last year decreased
to an expense of $13,000 in this year's second quarter and sundry income
decreased $462,000 to $4,000 in the six month period. Last year's second
quarter and six months sundry income included a gain on an insurance
settlement.
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 $158,000 or 34% in the current three month
period to $625,000 and $435,000 or 43% in the current six month period to
$1,452,000.
