NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results for the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended
March 30, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 1995.

     The computation of earnings (loss) per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

     Long-term
     Unsecured term note payable, interest at
      the prime rate plus 2%, due on demand     $   647       $   593  

     Unsecured term note payable, interest at
      the prime rate plus 2.5%, due on demand     1,400         1,400
                                                  -----         -----
                                                $ 2,047       $ 1,993
                                                  =====         =====

twelve weeks ended October 14, 1995 and October 15, 1994, respectively, and

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following is a summary of sales by significant product line for the
second quarter and year-to-date for fiscal 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

                           Second Quarter             Year-To-Date
                           --------------            ---------------

                          ------    ------         -------    -------
                        $ 53,668  $ 45,289       $ 128,955  $ 111,226

     For the twelve weeks ended October 14, 1995, APC's overall volume (based
on tonnage) increased by 7.5% and net sales increased $8,379,000 or 18.5%
over fiscal 1995 second quarter net sales.  The average sales price per pound
during the second quarter increased from $1.15 in fiscal 1995 to $1.28 in
fiscal 1996.  For the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995, APC's
overall volume (based on tonnage) increased by 6.8% and net sales increased
$17,729,000 or 15.9% over fiscal 1995 sales for the same period of time.  The
average sales price per pound during the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14,
1995 increased from $1.18 in fiscal 1995 to $1.29 in fiscal 1996.  The
increase in net sales in fiscal 1996 is attributable to increased business
resulting from the addition of a customer in December 1994.  Sales to this
customer during the second quarter and year-to-date fiscal 1996 accounted for
more than 25% of APC's net sales.  APC anticipates that sales to this
customer will decrease from current levels due to the discontinuance of
certain higher cost routes.  The increase in average sales price per pound in
fiscal 1996 is due to a change in the product mix.  

     For the twelve weeks ended October 14, 1995, gross profit decreased by
$77,000 or 6.7% from the corresponding period in fiscal 1995.  Gross profit
as a percentage of net sales was 2.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as
compared to 2.5% in fiscal 1995.  The decrease in gross profit and the gross
profit percentage in fiscal 1996 is primarily due to the customer added in
December 1994.  For the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995, gross
profit decreased by $71,000 or 2.8% over the corresponding period in fiscal
1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the twenty-eight weeks
ended October 14, 1995 was 1.9% as compared to 2.2% for the same period of
time in fiscal 1995.  The decrease in gross profit and the gross profit
percentage for the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995 is primarily due
to the customer added in December 1994.
 
     For the twelve weeks ended October 14, 1995, selling and administrative
expenses decreased $40,000 or 4.3% from the same period in fiscal 1995.  The
decrease in these expenses in the second quarter fiscal 1996 is primarily due
to lower selling expenses attributable to a reduction in the number of sales
employees.  Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 1.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 2.1% in fiscal
1995.  For the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995, selling and
administrative expenses increased $15,000 or .7% from the same period in
fiscal 1995.  Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net

                                        5

sales were 1.7% for the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995 as compared
to 1.9% for the same period in fiscal 1995.

     For the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995, interest
expense increased by $47,000 and $68,000, respectively, from the same periods
in fiscal 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased interest
rates in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.

     For the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995, equity in earnings
(loss) of unconsolidated subsidiary decreased $37,000 from the same period in
fiscal 1995.  The reason for the decrease is due to a loss from APC's
subsidiary resulting from lower gross profit margins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company recorded cash used by operating activities of $390,000
during the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995 as compared to cash
provided by operating activities of $2,678,000 for the same period of time in
fiscal 1995.  The fiscal 1995 cash flow from operating activities included
reductions of inventory of $2,000,000 and receivables of $867,000 offset by
reduction in accounts payable of $410,000.  The cash outflow from operating
activities during the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 1995 is primarily
attributable to the following changes in operating assets and liabilities: 
a) inventories increased by $593,000 or 13.7% from April 1, 1995; b)
receivables decreased $1,075,000 or 11.1% from April 1, 1995 and c) accounts
payable decreased $939,000 or 11.6% from April 1, 1995.

     Capital expenditures for property and equipment during the twenty-eight
weeks ended October 14, 1995 were $179,000.  Fiscal 1996 capital expenditures
are limited to $550,000 pursuant to restrictions in APC's credit facility.  

     APC's credit facility provides a revolving line of credit of up to
$9,500,000 with interest at the prime rate plus 2.0% through November 1997. 
A $2 million letter of credit facility is included within the total credit
facility.  At October 14, 1995, APC borrowed $4,439,000 and had letters of
credit of $2,000,000 issued on its behalf.  At October 14, 1995, APC had
available unused borrowing capacity of $2,311,000.  APC management estimates
that the minimum level of borrowings that will be outstanding for the
remainder of the fiscal year will be approximately $4,000,000 and has
classified $439,000 of the amount outstanding as a current liability.  In
August and November 1995, APC and its lender entered into waiver and
amendment agreements relating to the Loan and Security Agreement in order to
avoid violating certain financial covenants in fiscal 1996.

     Diana continues to provide certain financial support to the Company and
has loaned the Company $2,047,000 in the aggregate as of October 14, 1995. 
In addition, Diana has provided other financial support to satisfy certain
requirements of the Company.  Diana has no obligation to provide any
additional financial support.  Diana is exploring options with respect to the
Company's investment in APC.

                 TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


                                                 November 28, 1995


Atlanta Provision Company, Inc.
1400 West Marietta Street, N.W.
Atlanta, GA 30318
Attention:  G. Michael Coggins

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of November 24, 1992, between Atlanta Provision Company,
Inc. ("Borrower") and Shawmut Capital Corporation (successor in
interest to Barclays Business Credit, Inc. ("Lender")), as amended
to date (the "Loan Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein,
all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings
provided for such terms in the Loan Agreement.

     Borrower has informed Lender that an Event of Default has
occurred under the Loan Agreement because of Borrower's failure to
achieve Net Cash Flow in excess of negative One Hundred Ninety-Five
Thousand Dollars (-$195,000) for the period ending October 14, 1995
as required under subsection 9.3(c) of the Loan Agreement (the
"Existing Default").

     Borrower has requested that Lender (i) waive the Existing
Default and (ii) amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement,
and Lender has agreed to such requests on the terms and conditions
set forth herein.

     1.    Waiver.  Lender hereby waives the Existing Default.

     The foregoing waiver is limited to the Existing Default
specified and shall not constitute a waiver of any other existing
or future Default or Event of Default or of any rights that Lender
may have under the Loan Agreement or applicable law with respect
thereto, all of which rights Lender hereby expressly reserves.

     2.    Amendments.  The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:

     a.    Section 9.3(a) of the Loan Agreement (Minimum Adjusted
Tangible Net Worth) is amended and restated in its entirety, as
follows:

     "(a)  Minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth.  Maintain at all
times Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Net Worth of not less than the
amount shown below for the period corresponding thereto:"
