Swiss American Division
- -----------------------

Sales by the processed meat division decreased about 30% in dollars and 25% in
pounds in the 1st six 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. Swiss's sales decrease reflects an
underlying long-term erosion in sales at Swiss attributed to industry factors.
Swiss has attracted and retained new business but not enough to reverse the
underlying erosion.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Swiss's loss for the 2nd quarter of 1995 exceeded its loss for the 2nd quarter
of 1994 and its loss for the 1st quarter of 1995.

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 pasta division's sales increased about 22% in dollars and 25% in pounds in
1995's 1st half compared to the 1st half of 1994. The sales increase in dollars
was proportionately lower than in pounds because of a higher proportion of sales
of bulk rather than specialty products in the 2nd quarter of 1995. Royal's
profit for the 2nd quarter of 1995 exceeded its profit for the 2nd quarter of
1994 and for the 1st quarter of 1995.

The Company
- -----------

Company sales were down 14% in the 1st half of 1995 compared to the 1st half of
1994 and were down the same percentage in each of the 1st and 2nd quarters of
1995 compared to the same quarters of 1994. Earnings for the 1st half were up
significantly but most of the increase was attributable to the 1st quarter of
1995 since earnings for the 2nd quarter increased only slightly because of
decreased sales and margins at Swiss caused by competitive pressure. Sales at
Royal increased but were more than offset by declines at Swiss. Losses at Swiss
continued but were offset by profits at Royal. Margins for the 1st half of 1995
were 10% compared to 8.5% a year ago, but were 9.7% for the 2nd quarter compared
to 8.6% last year. The main cause of the increase in Company margins over a year
ago is an increased proportion of Company sales by Royal which has higher
margins than Swiss. The decline in margins from the 1st quarter to the 2nd
quarter of 1995 was caused by a decline in margins at Swiss.

Administrative expense was down about $35,000 for the 1st half of 1995 compared
to the same period in 1994, primarily due to reductions in officer payroll,
health claims and outside services, offset by an increase in bad debt expense.
The increase in bad debt expense resulted from accrual of a reserve based on
prior years' experience. Distribution expense was down over $40,000 or 8%
compared to a 14% decrease in sales. The decrease was less than proportionate
because of an increase in sales at a delivered price at both divisions in the
2nd quarter of 1995. 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
June 30, 1995, the Company had $114,135 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, 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 and prohibits mergers, acquisitions, lending, borrowing,
guaranteeing, annual capital expenditures over $500,000 and new annual lease
obligations over $100,000.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
On April 7, 1995, the Company purchased the building adjacent to the pasta plant
for $1,270,500, borrowing $975,000 from Wells Fargo Bank, NA under a 5 year term
loan secured by the building, bearing interest at 2% over 90 day LIBOR. At June
30, 1995 the balance of the term loan was $972,885, including the $8,460 current
portion.

Cash increased $71,000 in the 1st half of 1995 compared to a decrease of $88,000
in the 1st half of 1994, a $159,000 improvement. Operations provided $535,000 of
cash compared to $319,000 used in operations last year, an $854,000 improvement
resulting primarily from differences in earnings, inventories and payables. The
improvement in cash from operations was reduced by the net effect of the
increase in investing and financing activities resulting from the purchase 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 $972,885 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.
