Swiss American Division

Sales by the Swiss American Sausage Co. processed meat division decreased about
27% in dollars and 21% in pounds in the 1st nine months of 1995 over the same
period in 1994.  Sales in dollars decreased proportionately more than in pounds
because of lower selling prices reflecting lower meat costs.  Although Swiss's
sales were down for both the 3rd quarter and 1st nine months of 1995 compared to
the same periods of 1994, Swiss's sales in both dollars and

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
pounds were up slightly in the 3rd quarter of 1995 compared to the 2nd quarter
of 1995.  Swiss's loss for the 3rd quarter of 1995 was slightly greater than its
loss for the 3rd quarter of 1994 and its loss for the 2nd quarter of 1995.

Swiss's declining sales and increasing losses are attributed to industry factors
which have caused many meat processing companies to cease business or go
bankrupt.  Swiss is actively seeking to identify and combine Swiss with all or a
part of a meat processing business complementary to Swiss which would result in
a profitable meat processing business.

Plant employees are represented by United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Local
101, UFCWI, AFL-CIO-CLC, under a collective bargaining agreement which expired
March 31, 1995 and was renewed July 10, 1995 to expire March 31, 1998.  There
has been no significant labor unrest at the division's plants and the Company
believes it has a satisfactory relationship with its employees.

Royal-Angelus Division

The Royal-Angelus Macaroni Company pasta division's sales increased about 12% in
dollars and 3% in pounds in the 1st nine months of 1995 compared to the same
period of 1994 but decreased 6% in dollars and 13% in pounds in the 3rd quarter
of 1995 versus the 3rd quarter of 1994.  Sales in dollars increased more or
decreased less than in pounds because of a higher proportion of sales of
specialty rather than bulk products in the 3rd quarter of 1995.

Royal's operating profit for the 1st nine months of 1995 was slightly lower than
the 1st nine months of 1994 because of a substantial decline in operating profit
in the 3rd quarter of 1995 compared to the 3rd quarter of 1994.  The decline in
the 3rd quarter was caused by lower margins resulting from higher semolina flour
prices and increased production overhead.

The Company

Company sales for the 1st nine months of 1995 were down 14% over the 1st nine
months of 1994 and were down about the same percentage in each of the three
quarters of 1995.  Net earnings for the 1st nine months of 1995 were $72,525,
down from $178,654 for the 1st nine months of 1994.  The declines in sales and
net earnings resulted primarily from declines at the meat division.  The Company
operated at a $42,969 loss in the 3rd quarter of 1995, its 1st quarterly loss
after seven profitable quarters.  Margins for the 1st nine months of 1995 were
9% compared to 8.9% last year.  The slight increase in Company margins resulted
from an increased proportion of Company sales by Royal which has higher margins
than Swiss, and occurred even though margins at both divisions declined.

Administrative expense was down about $22,000 for the 1st nine months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994, primarily due to reductions in officer and
clerical payroll and directors fees, offset by an increase in bad debt expense.
Administrative expense was up about $13,000 in the 3rd quarter of 1995 compared
to the 3rd quarter of 1994, primarily because of increases in health claims and
bad debt expense.  Distribution expense was down about 9% compared to a 14%
decrease in sales in both the 1st nine months and the 3rd quarter of 1995
compared to last year.  The decreases were less than proportionate mainly
because salesman payroll did not decrease and the Company bore the freight cost
on a higher proportion of sales at both divisions. Net interest expense
increased due to interest on the term loan used to purchase the building
adjacent to the pasta plant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has generally satisfied its normal working capital requirements with
funds derived from operations and borrowings under its bank line of credit.  At
September 30, 1995, the Company had $57,357 of borrowings under its $2,000,000
unsecured bank line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, NA.  The line was renewed
in May 1995 to expire June 1, 1996, and bears interest at a variable rate of
3/8% over prime.  The line as renewed prohibits mergers, acquisitions, lending,
borrowing, guaranteeing, annual capital expenditures over $500,000 and new
annual lease obligations over $100,000 and requires a minimum tangible net worth
of $6,890,000, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 0.75, a minimum
debt coverage ratio of 1.75, profitable operations on a cumulative quarterly
basis and a zero balance for 30 days during the term.  The last requirement was
fulfilled during the 3rd quarter.  In April 1995, Wells Fargo Bank, NA made a 5
year term loan of $975,000 to the Company to purchase the building adjacent to
the pasta plant, secured by the building, bearing interest at 2% over LIBOR,
with a $970,770 balance at September 30, 1995, including the $8,460 current
portion.

Cash decreased $47,645 in the 1st nine months of 1995 compared to an increase of
$137,147 in the 1st nine months of 1994.  Operations provided $765,259 of cash
compared to $532,854 provided in the 1st nine months of 1994, the improvement
resulting primarily from a decrease in inventories.  The improvement in cash
from operations was more than offset by the cash portion of the purchase price
of the building adjacent to the pasta plant.

The Company believes that its operations and bank line of credit will provide
adequate working capital to satisfy the normal needs of its operations for the
foreseeable future.

The Company has no long-term debt, except the $970,770 secured by the building
adjacent to the pasta plant.  All of its other assets are unencumbered, and
could be borrowed against as a source of liquidity if an unforeseen need arises.
