                PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



The following pro forma unaudited  combined condensed  financial  statements and
related notes give effect to the  acquisitions of the remaining  40.44% minority
interest  of  Corporacion   Pipasa,   S.A.,  a  Costa  Rican  corporation,   and
Subsidiaries  ("Pipasa"),  in exchange for the issuance of 3,683,595  restricted
shares of common stock of Rica Foods,  Inc. (the "Company").  The acquisition of
Pipasa is being  accounted  for at the value of the minority  interest as of the
acquisition date, on the basis that the owner of the minority interest of Pipasa
is a  major  shareholder  of the  Company.  The  pro  forma  unaudited  combined
condensed financial statements also include the effect of the acquisition of the
remaining  43.62%  minority  interest of Corporacion  As de Oros,  S.A., a Costa
Rican  corporation,  and Subsidiaries ("As de Oros"),  which was acquired by the
Company on  November  22,  1999,  in  exchange  for the  issuance  of  1,670,921
restricted shares of common stock of the Company.  Pro forma unaudited  combined
condensed   financial   statements  and  related  notes  giving  effect  to  the
acquisition  of the minority  interest of As de Oros are included in the Current
Report  on Form  8-K/A  which  has  been  filed by the  Company  with the SEC on
February 3, 2000.  The  acquisition  of As de Oros was  accounted  for under the
purchase method of accounting.

The pro forma unaudited  combined condensed  financial  statements are presented
using the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
September 30, 1999. The pro forma  adjustments and the assumptions on which they
are based are  described in the  accompanying  notes to the pro forma  financial
statements.

The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not
necessarily  indicative of the consolidated  financial  position or consolidated
results of  operations  of the Company  that would have been  reported had these
transactions occurred on the date indicated, nor do they represent a forecast of
the  consolidated  financial  position  of the Company at any future date or the
consolidated results of operations of the Company for any future period. The pro
forma  financial  statements,  including  the notes  thereto,  should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated  Financial  Statements of the Company included
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  September 30, 1999,  filed
with the SEC on January 13, 2000.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The pro  forma  statements  and  related  notes  give pro  forma  effect  to the
acquisitions of the remaining  minority interest of 40.44% of Corporacion Pipasa
S.A. ("Pipasa") and 43.62% of Corporacion as de Oros S.A. ("As de Oros") by Rica
Foods, Inc. (the "Company").  The acquisition of Pipasa was accounted for at the
value of Pipasa's  minority interest on the acquisition date. The acquisition of
the minority interest in As de Oros was accounted for under the purchase method.
The  minority  interests  of  Pipasa  and As de Oros (the  "Subsidiaries")  were
acquired by the Company on December 7, 1999 and November 22, 1999, respectively.

The balance  sheet of the Company as of September  30, 1999,  as filed in Rica's
Annual Report in Form 10-K, includes the account balances of the Subsidiaries as
of September  30, 1999 as well as their  corresponding  minority  interest.  The
combined pro forma balance sheet uses as an acquisition  date of October 1, 1998
to reflect the acquisition of the minority interest in the Subsidiaries.

The statement of income of the Company for the year ended September 30, 1999, as
filed in Rica's Annual  Report on Form 10-K,  includes the results of operations
for the Subsidiaries, 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 the Subsidiaries.

The pro forma  basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  amounts 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
3,683,595 and 1,670,921 restricted shares issued to acquire the remaining 40.44%
and  43.62% of  Pipasa  and As de Oros,  respectively.  As part of the pro forma
calculation,  the shares  issued to acquire  the  Subsidiaries  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  representative
of future of earnings.

The  Company  does not  expect to adopt any  material  change to the  accounting
policies used by the  Subsidiaries,  nor expects the acquisitions of 100% of the
minority  interests  in the  Subsidiaries  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 the Subsidiaries:

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 is depreciated  over a period of approximately
     10 years  using the  straight-line  method,  which is  consistent  with the
     useful life of the assets.




                                      -6-

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  Pipasa's  and As de Oros'  minority  interest  as of  September
     30, 1999.


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

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

7.   Reflects issuance of 3,683,595 restricted shares,  valued at the historical
     cost of the minority interest on the acquisition date, to acquire 40.44% of
     Pipasa, during the year ended September 30, 1999.
