Swiss American Sausage Co. Meat Division
- ----------------------------------------

Sales by the processed meat division increased about 33% in dollars and 29% in 
pounds in the 1st six months of 1996 and increased 61% in dollars and 55% in 
pounds in the 2nd quarter of 1996, compared to the same periods of 1995.  Sales 
in dollars increased proportionately more than in pounds because of higher 
selling prices reflecting increasing meat costs.  Swiss's sales are higher 
because of special pizza chain orders continuing into the 3rd quarter of 1996.
Swiss made a substantial profit for the 2nd quarter and a nominal profit for the
1st half of 1996.

                                      -4-

Plant employees are represented by United Food and Commercial Workers Union 
Local 101, AFL-CIO, under a collective bargaining agreement 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 Macaroni Company Pasta Division
- ---------------------------------------------

The pasta division's sales this year decreased about 10% in dollars and 11% in 
pounds in the 1st half and decreased 13% in dollars and 14% in pounds in the 2nd
quarter, compared to the same periods last year, primarily because of lower 
military sales.  The sales decreases in dollars were proportionately lower than 
in pounds because of higher prices due to higher flour costs.  Royal's sales in
the 1st half of last year were up more than 20% over the 1st half of 1994, 
partly due to a high volume of military sales.  Sales for the 1st half of 1996 
are about 10% higher than the 1st half of 1994, and sales for the 2nd quarter of
1996 are up over the 1st quarter. Royal's profit for the 2nd quarter of 1996 
improved over the 1st quarter of 1996, but for both the 2nd quarter and the 1st 
half of 1996 were substantially below the same periods of 1995.

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

Company sales were up 14% in the 1st half of 1996 compared to the 1st half of 
1995 and were up 27% in the 2nd quarter of 1996 compared to the 2nd quarter of 
1995. Net earnings for the 2nd quarter of 1996 were $152,554 compared to $33,222
a year ago, but as a result of the 1st quarter loss, earnings for the 1st half 
of 1996 were only $91,793 compared to $115,494 last year.  Margins for the 1st 
half of 1996 were 9% compared to 10% a year ago, but margins of 10.4% for the 
2nd quarter of 1996 improved over both 9.7% for the 2nd quarter of 1995 and 7% 
for the 1st quarter of 1996.  Both divisions contributed to the margin 
improvement.

Administrative expense was up about $58,000 for the 1st half of 1996 compared to
the same period in 1995, primarily due to increased health claims, consulting
fees for seeking a merger partner for Swiss, accrual of an increased reserve
against bad debts and the cost of mandatory electronic filing of reports with
the SEC. Distribution expense was down $50,000 despite higher sales because
Swiss's salesmen payroll decreased and Royal's customers bore the freight on a
higher proportion of sales. Net interest expense increased due to interest on
the term loan used to purchase the 2nd Royal building. Other income decreased
because a lease of a vacant lot being sublet and a space sharing arrangement at
Swiss both ended.

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, 1996, the Company had no borrowings under its $2,000,000 unsecured 
bank line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The line was renewed in May 1996 
to expire June 1, 1997, and bears interest at a variable rate of 3/8% over 
prime. The line provides that if a financial covenant is violated, the Company 
agrees to grant the bank a security interest in receivables, inventories and 
equipment. The line 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 
$6,790,000, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of 0.75, a minimum debt 
coverage ratio of 1.75, a minimum current ratio of 2, profitable operations on a
cumulative quarterly basis and a zero balance for 30 days during the term.  The 
last requirement was fulfilled in early July 1996.  The Company is not in 
violation of any financial covenants.

                                      -5-

In April 1995, Wells Fargo Bank, NA made a 5 year term loan of $975,000 to the 
Company to purchase the 2nd Royal building, secured by the building, bearing 
interest at 2% over the bank's "LIBOR," with a $964,425 balance at June 30, 
1996, including the $8,460 current portion.  The pasta division occupies 40% of 
the building and 60% is leased to a tenant.

The Company's cash position of $235,012 at the end of the 1st half of 1996 
improved over the $128,002 a year ago, with no net borrowings under the bank 
line this year compared to $114,000 last year.  Cash decreased $116,000 in the 
1st half of 1996 compared to an increase of $71,000 in the 1st half of 1995 
because operating cash flow declined $451,000 primarily on a larger decrease in 
accrued expenses.  Accrued expenses and cash were higher than usual at the end 
of 1995 and are now at more normal levels.  Operating cash flow was also reduced
by higher receivables and a smaller decrease in inventories, both resulting from
higher sales.

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 $964,425 secured by the 2nd Royal 
building.  All of its other assets are currently unencumbered.
