NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of December 14, 1996 and
June 29, 1996, the results of operations for the twelve and
twenty- four weeks ended December 14, 1996 and December 16, 1995
and statement of cash flows for the twenty-four weeks
ended December 14, 1996 and December 16, 1995.
2. The results of operations for the twelve and twenty-four week
periods ended December 14, 1996 and December 16, 1995, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full
year.
3. During September 1996, the Company accrued for certain claims by
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), relating primarily to the
Company's independent distributor program. The IRS asserted that
the independent distributor program generated ordinary income
upon the initial sale of the territory.
In a related, but separate transaction, on September 20, 1996, the
Company sold $66,000,000 of notes receivable from independent
distributors to a financial institution. Of the $66,000,000 of
notes sold, $44,000,000 was initially without recourse to the
Company with the remaining $22,000,000 having limited recourse.
Concurrently, approximately $43,000,000 of deferred income was
recognized by the Company. The Company acts as a servicing
agent for the financial institution and is entitled to receive
a fee for these services.
4. Net Income Per Common Share - Net income per common share is
computed by dividing (a) net income by (b) the average number of
common shares outstanding, increased by common equivalent shares
(options and Restricted Shares) determined using the treasury
stock and if converted methods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company's working capital increased $7,056,000 to $55,535,000
at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1997, with cash and
temporary investments decreasing to $4,972,000 from $25,039,000
at June 29, 1996. The working capital increase is due primarily
to increased receivables as a result of sales increases,
particularly in the new Mrs. Smith's pie business acquired during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. The decrease in cash and
temporary investments was primarily due to cash expended for
capital projects throughout the Company.
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company had
a total of $107,000,000 borrowed under a five-year $300,000,000
syndicated loan facility. Also, currently outstanding are
$125,000,000 of long-term Senior Notes issued through a private
placement completed during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company entered
into a short-term $50,000,000 Commercial Paper program to finance the
seasonal build-up of frozen inventory. Borrowings outstanding
under this program at December 14, 1996 were $50,000,000.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company sold
$66,000,000 of distributor notes receivable to a financial institution. The
proceeds from this sale were used to pay a portion of the Company's debt
outstanding at that time.
Dividends paid per share increased 7% to $.1525 in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $.1425 paid in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.
Results of Operations:
Sales increased 26% to $704,000,000 in the first half of fiscal
1997 as compared with the first half of fiscal 1996.
Acquisitions consummated subsequent to the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 contributed approximately two-thirds of the increase,
while increased volume of 8%, exclusive of the acquisitions was
also a factor in the sales increase. Sales increased 31% to
$381,290,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared
with the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Acquisitions consummated
subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and increased internal volume
growth of approximately 8% were factors in the sales increase.
Pre-tax income increased 105% to $52,100,000 and 50% to
$19,175,000 in the first half and second quarter of fiscal 1997,
respectively. The sale of the distributor notes receivable
during the first quarter as discussed above generated $43,244,000
of pre-tax income during the first half of the year. The sale of
these notes was necessitated by the Company's decision to settle
claims by the Internal Revenue Service that the notes constituted
current rather than deferred income. The gain generated by the
sale of the notes was partially offset primarily by approximately
$19,000,000 of expenses relating to the Internal Revenue Service
audit and the write-down of certain idle facilities.
Operationally, income for the first half and second quarter of
fiscal 1997 was positively impacted by the new Mrs. Smith's pie
business, which the Company acquired during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1996, as well as sales and volume gains at the remainder
of the Company's operations. The income increase was partially
offset by higher raw material costs, particularly flour, the
Company's primary raw material.
