                  COLORADO PRIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Dollars in thousands)
                                  (unaudited)


1.   Colorado Prime Corporation (the "Company" or "CPC") is a Delaware
     corporation and was incorporated in 1986. The Company is a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Colorado Prime Holdings Inc. ("CPH"), formerly KPC Holdings
     Corporation ("Holdings"). On May 9, 1997, pursuant to a merger agreement 
     between Holdings and Thayer Equity Investors III, L.P., a private equity 
     investment limited partnership ("Thayer"), Colorado Prime Acquisition 
     Corp. ("CPAC"), a transitory acquisition company established by Thayer 
     prior to the consummation of the merger, merged with and into Holdings 
     (the "Merger") following which Holdings was the surviving corporation and 
     was renamed CPH.

     As a result of the merger, a new basis of accounting under the "push down" 
     method was adopted effective May 9, 1997. Under the method, the assets and 
     liabilities of the Company were revalued to reflect CPH's new cost basis 
     in the Company, which is based on the fair values of such assets and 
     liabilities on May 9, 1997. Financial data for the period subsequent to 
     May 9, 1997 reflects the adoption of this new basis of accounting and, 
     accordingly, data for all fiscal periods presented herein may not be 
     comparable with the data presented which includes the period subsequent to 
     May 9, 1997.

2.   Reference is made to the notes to consolidated financial statements 
     contained within the Company's audited financial statements for the period 
     ended September 26, 1997 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 
     10-K. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial 
     statements included herein reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting 
     of normal recurring adjustments, for a fair presentation of such data on  
     a basis consistent with that of the audited data presented therein. The 
     results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative 
     of the results to be expected for a full year.

3.   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
     "Company" and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kal-Mar Properties Corp. 
     ("Kal-Mar"), Concord Financial Services, Inc. ("Concord") and Prime Foods 
     Development Corporation ("Prime"). In connection with the Merger discussed 
     in Note 1, the Company issued $100,000 of Senior Unsecured Notes (the 
     "Notes"), which bear interest at 12.5% per annum and mature in 2004. (See 
     the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further discussion of the 
     Notes.) The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all 
     existing subsidiaries (there are no non-guarantor subsidiaries) and any 
     future U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The guarantees of the 
     subsidiaries are full, unconditional, joint and several. Summary financial 
     data for Kal-Mar, Concord and Prime are as follows:

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain information set forth herein contains forward-looking statements, as
such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties discussed herein,
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a leading direct marketer of high quality, value-added food 
programs and products related to in-home dining and entertainment. Using a 
combination of telemarketing and in-home selling, Colorado Prime Corporation 
believes that it is the only company to offer this type of in-home shopping 
service on a broad scale, serving 31 states through 79 sales offices. The 
Company sells individually packaged, top quality meats and poultry, seafood, 
assorted pasta dishes and a wide selection of prepared entrees for direct 
delivery to consumer households. The Company's food products are of a quality 
generally found only in specialty gourmet shops and high-end restaurants and 
require simple preparation using a microwave, conventional oven or grill. As a 
complement to its food products, the Company also sells food-related and home 
entertainment appliances and accessories with unique features not generally 
available in traditional retail channels. The purchase of non-food items 
enables customers to earn a lifetime discount on food purchases.

PRESENTATION OF DATA FOR COMBINED PERIODS

The pro forma results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended
June 27, 1997 are presented for comparative purposes only, and not as combined
or consolidated results of operations in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("GAAP") nor as a replacement for the separate period
results of operations presented in the Company's consolidated financial
statements presented elsewhere in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 26, 1998 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 27, 
1997.

Total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 increased by $1.1 
million or 2.8%, to $39.4 million from $38.3 million for the thirteen weeks 
ended June 27, 1997. Food revenue for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 
and June 27, 1997 was $21.6 million. Non-food revenue for the thirteen weeks 
ended June 26, 1998 increased by $1.3 million or 10.1%, to $14.5 million from 
$13.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1997. The increase is 
non-food revenue was due to higher sales from new and existing customers and 
higher service policy revenue. Finance income for the thirteen weeks ended June 
26, 1998 decreased by $0.2 million or 7.5%, to $3.4 million from $3.6 million 
for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1997. The decrease in finance income 
resulted from a reduction in eligible non-food interest earning accounts, 
offset by higher handling fees from food transactions.

                                       7
<PAGE>   10
Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 increased by $1.2 
million, or 4.8%, to $26.0 million from $24.8 million for the thirteen weeks 
ended June 27, 1997. The gross profit margin increased to 66.0% for the 
thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 from 64.7% for the thirteen weeks ended June 
27, 1997. The increase in the gross profit margin was primarily due to a 
favorable mix of total revenues towards non-food products which have a higher 
margin.

SG&A expenses are principally comprised of selling, telemarketing, delivery and
general and administrative expenses. For the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998,
these expenses increased by $2.3 million or 11.8%, to $22.2 million from $19.9
million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1997. The increase was primarily
due to $1.5 million higher bad debt expense due to an increase in the age and
rate of delinquent accounts, $.5 million higher incentive pay to sales personnel
and a $.25 million increase in telemarketing costs, partially offset by $.25 
million lower non-sales incentive costs. As a percentage of total revenues, SG&A
expenses increased to 56.3% for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 from
51.9% for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1997.

Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 increased to $4.0 
million from $3.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1997. The 
increase was attributable to a greater level of borrowing at a higher rate of 
interest under the new debt facilities, as compared to the financing in effect 
during the previous period.

Other expense for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 was $.1 million and 
$.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1997.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 
decreased by $.7 million to $(.3) million from $.4 million for the thirteen 
weeks ended June 27, 1997. The increase in the effective income tax rate is due 
to an increase in certain nondeductible expenses as a percentage of taxable 
income.

Net loss for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 1998 was $.4 million as compared 
to net income of $.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1997 for the 
reasons discussed above.

THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 26, 1998 COMPARED TO THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 
27, 1997.

Total Revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 and June 27, 1997 
was $115.9 million. Food revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 
decreased by $.4 million or .6%, to $64.0 million from $64.4 million for the 
thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 1997. The decrease in food revenue was due to 
lower sales to existing customers partially offset by an increase in sales to 
new customers. Non-food revenue for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 
increased by $.4 million or .9%, to $41.2 million from $40.8 million for the 
twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1997. The increase in non-food revenue is due 
to higher sales to new customers and higher service policy revenue, partially 
offset by a decrease in sales to existing customers. Finance income for the 
thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 and June 27, 1997 was $10.7 million.

<PAGE>   11
Gross Profit for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 increased by $1.5 
million or 2% to $76.8 million from $75.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks 
ended June 27, 1997. The gross profit margin increased to 66.2% for the 
thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 from 64.9% for the thirty-nine weeks 
ended June 27, 1997. The increase in the gross profit margin was primarily due 
to a favorable mix within non-food sales towards products that have a higher 
margin.

SG&A expenses are principally comprised of selling, delivery and general and 
administrative expenses. For the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998, these 
expenses increased by $3.1 million or 5.1%, to $62.7 million from $59.6 million 
for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 1997. The increase was primarily due 
to $1.6 million higher bad debt expense due to an increase in the age and rate 
of delinquent accounts, $.9 million higher incentive pay to sales personnel, $.7
million higher telemarketing costs and $.3 million higher medical insurance 
costs, partially offset by $.2 million of lower non-sales incentive costs. As a 
percentage of total revenues, SG&A expenses increased to 54.1% for the 
thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 from 51.5% for the thirty-nine weeks 
ended June 27, 1997.

Interest expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 increased to 
$12.1 million from $7.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 1997. 
The increase was attributable to a greater level of borrowing at a higher rate 
of interest under the new debt facilities, as compared to the financing in 
effect during the previous period.

Other expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 was $.4 million and 
$.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 1997.

Provision for income taxes for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 
decreased by $2.1 million to $0.6 million from $2.7 million for the thirty-nine 
weeks ended June 27, 1997. The increase in the effective income tax rate is due 
to an increase in certain nondeductible expenses as a percentage of taxable 
income for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 and June 27, 1997. Due to 
the impact of certain fixed, recurring, nondeductible expenses on the Company's 
effective income tax rate, the effective rate is, in future periods, subject to 
change based on the earnings achieved and the relationships of those earnings 
to those fixed nondeductible expenses. 

Net Loss for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998 was $.1 million as 
compared to net income of $3.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 27, 
1997 for the reasons discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26,
1998 was $3.8 million, primarily comprised of non-cash charges of $8.6 million
and proceeds from income tax recoveries of $2.5 million offset by a $6.9 million
increase in accounts receivable, $.7 million increase in other assets and a $7.0
million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 
1998 of $.7 million was for capital expenditures.


                                       9
<PAGE>   12
Net cash provided by financing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended June
26, 1998 was $4.2 million, primarily comprised of $5.0 million additional
borrowings under the revolver, partially offset by $.2 million of repayments of
capital leases and a $.4 million dividend to CPH to fund certain expenses
incurred by CPH.

The Company had working capital of $52.2 million as of June 26, 1998 compared to
$51.2 million as of September 26, 1997.

The Company has a $50.0 million working capital revolver, with $24.9 million of
unused capacity as of June 26, 1998. The working capital revolver contains
certain covenants requiring the Company to meet certain financial tests
including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage
ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, the maintenance of a minimum net worth and a
limitation on capital expenditures. The working capital revolver and the senior
unsecured notes impose certain other restrictions on the Company, including
restrictions on its ability to incur indebtedness, pay dividends, make
investments, grant liens, sell its assets and engage in certain other
activities. In addition, the indebtedness of the Company under its working
capital revolver is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including the
Company's real and personal property, inventory, accounts receivable,
intellectual property and other intangibles.

Management believes that cash flow from operations, together with other
available sources of funds including the availability of borrowings under its
working capital revolver will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to
make required payments of principal and interest on the Company's indebtedness
and to fund anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
The ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations and reduce its
total debt will be dependent, however, upon the future performance of the
Company which, in turn, will be subject to general economic conditions and to
financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond the Company's
control. Debt outstanding under the working capital revolver will bear interest
at floating rates; therefore, the Company's financial condition is and will
continue to be affected by changes in prevailing interest rates.

Inflation

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its 
results of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1998.

Other -- Year 2000

     The Year 2000 issue exists because many computer systems and applications
currently use two-digit date fields to designate a year. As the century date
change occurs, date-sensitive systems will recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or
not at all. This inability to recognize or properly treat the Year 2000 may
cause systems to process critical financial and operational information
incorrectly. The Company has assessed and continues to assess the impact of the
Year 2000 on its operations which includes the evaluation of the measures being
undertaken by its critical suppliers to address their Year 2000 compliance. The
Company believes, based upon its internal reviews and other factors, the future
external and internal costs to be incurred relating to the modification of
internal use software for the Year 2000 will not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
