ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

       On February 3, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the sale of a majority of the assets of Atlanta Provision
Company, Inc. ("APC") to Colorado Boxed Beef Company ("Colorado"). 
APC was the Company's sole operating subsidiary.  As a result of
the sale of APC, the Company has no remaining continuing
operations.  The sale closed on February 3, 1997.

       Colorado purchased the following assets of APC for $13.5
million:  receivables, inventories, machinery and equipment,
furniture and fixtures, and certain other current assets.  Colorado
made a cash payment to APC of $6.9 million of which $712,000 is
restricted pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. 
Colorado also assumed accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
APC of $6.6 million.  APC repaid $5.8 million to its lender to
extinguish all obligations under its revolving line of credit. 

       APC retained real estate with a net book value of $2.6
million at February 1, 1997.  The real estate is collateral for two
mortgage notes that amount to $794,000.  APC has entered into a one
year lease with Colorado.  Each party can terminate the lease with
180 days written notice.  The real estate will soon be listed for
sale.

       The loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the
twelve weeks ended January 4, 1997 represents the Company's loss on
the sale of APC.  This amount reflects a provision for certain
liabilities related to the sale and is net of an anticipated gain
on the sale of APC's real estate of $367,000.  APC had an operating
loss of $250,000 subsequent to January 4, 1997 through the date of
sale which will be reflected as a loss from discontinued operations
in the fourth quarter.  APC also incurred expenses of $281,000
subsequent to January 4, 1997 resulting from the early termination
of the revolving line of credit established on October 4, 1996. 
The Company will reflect an extraordinary charge of $281,000 in the
fourth quarter for these expenses.

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

The pro forma adjustment reflects the sale of the following assets of APC: 
receivables, inventories, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and
certain other current assets.  It also reflects the assumption of accounts

all obligations under the revolving line of credit.  After these
transactions, APC had (i) unrestricted cash of $431,000, (ii) restricted cash
of $712,000 and other net current assets of $131,000 and (iii) real estate,

The pro forma statement of operations for the 52 weeks March 30, 1996 ended
reflects a pro forma adjustment for the reclassification of the results of
operations of APC as discontinued operations.  As a result of the Sale, there
are no remaining continuing operations.

The statement of operations for the forty weeks ended January 4, 1997
included in the Form 10-Q for the period ended January 4, 1997 reflects the
results of APC as discontinued operations.  No further pro forma adjustments
are required with respect to the sale of APC.
