           NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The pro  forma  statements  and  related  notes  give pro  forma  effect  to the
acquisition  of the remaining  minority  interest of 43.62% of Corporacion as de
Oros S.A.  ("As de Oros") by Rica Foods,  Inc.  ("Rica" or the  "Company").  The
acquisition  of the minority  interest in As de Oros was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.  The minority interest of As de Oros was acquired
by the Company on November 22, 1999.

The  balance  sheet of the Company as of  September  30,  1999,  as filed in the
Company's  Consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary data filed in its
Annual  Report on Form 10-K  with the SEC on  January  13,  2000,  includes  the
account  balances  of As de  Oros  as of  September  30,  1999  as  well  as the
corresponding  minority  interest of As de Oros.  The combined pro forma balance
sheet use the acquisition  date of September 30, 1999 to reflect the acquisition
of the minority interest in As de Oros.

The statement of income of the Company for the year ended  September 30, 1999 as
filed in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on January 13,
2000,  includes the results of  operations  for As de Oros,  net of the minority
interest,  for the year then ended. The combined pro forma income statement uses
an  acquisition  date of  October  1, 1998 to  reflect  the  acquisition  of the
minority interest in As de Oros.

The pro forma basic and diluted  earnings  per share,  are based on the weighted
average number of common shares and common shares equivalents outstanding during
the  year  ended  September  30,  1999,  including  the  issuance  of  1,670,921
restricted  shares issued to acquire the remaining 43.62% of As de Oros. As part
of the pro  forma  calculation  the  shares  issued  to  acquire  As de Oros are
recorded as issued on October 1, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma statements of earnings are not necessarily indicative of
operating  results  which would have been  achieved  had the  transactions  been
consummated   as  of  October  1,  1998  and  should  not  be   construed  as  a
representative future of earnings.

The  Company  does not  expect to adopt any  material  change to the  accounting
policies used by As de Oros, nor expects the acquisition of 100% of the minority
interest  in As de Oros to result in any  material  changes  concerning  current
income taxes.

The following adjustments were recorded in the pro forma financial statements to
reflect the acquisition of the minority interest of As de Oros:

1.   Reflects  excess  fair  market  value  over  book  value of the net  assets
     acquired  from As de Oros  and its  respective  depreciation.  Excess  fair
     market  value  over  book  value  was  allocated  to  property,  plant  and
     equipment,  and is amortized over a period of  approximately 10 years using
     the straight-line  method,  which is consistent with the useful life of the
     assets.

2.   Reflects  excess of  purchase  price over fair value of the 43.62% of As de
     Oros' net  assets  acquired  on  November  22,  1999  ("Goodwill")  and its
     respective  amortization.  Goodwill is  amortized  using the  straight-line
     method over a 5-year period.

3.   Represents a deferred tax liability originated by the excess of fair market
     value over the book value of property, plant and equipment acquired from As
     de Oros, and the tax effect of the amortization of these assets.

4.   Eliminates As de Oros'  minority  interest as of September 30, 1999 and the
     minority interest's proportionate share of income from the operations of As
     de Oros for the year ended September 30, 1999.

5.   Reflects  issuance of 1,670,921  restricted shares to acquire the remaining
     43.62% of As de Oros, during the year ended September 30, 1999.
