                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





February 8, 1996


To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of
Presto Food Products, Inc. and Affiliate


In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Presto Food Products, Inc. and Affiliate at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Presto Food Products, Inc. and its affiliate (collectively, the Company)

distributes to institutional and retail customers throughout the United States.
Established in 1937, the Company is a corporation which operates production

distribution centers in several states.

Principles of combination

The combined financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Presto
Food Products, Inc. (Presto) and its affiliate, Presto Transportation, Inc.
(PTI), formerly RGB Laboratories, Inc. (RGB).  Presto owns 70% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of PTI.  The remaining shares of PTI are
owned by Presto shareholders in approximately the same proportion as their
ownership in Presto.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated from the combined accounts.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly state Presto's financial position, the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year ending December
31, 1996.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company sells its products to wholesale and retail customers throughout the
United States.  In addition, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when
realized, have generally been within the range of management's expectations.
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

NOTE 4 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

The provision for income taxes principally reflects the 1.5% surtax on
California earnings of the Company.  Because the Company has elected
S-Corporation status for federal and state tax purposes, substantially all of
the income tax obligations related to the Company's taxable income are passed
through to its shareholders.  It is the Company's policy to distribute
dividends to its shareholders in amounts which at a minimum are sufficient for
them to meet their individual tax obligations arising from the Company's
current year taxable earnings.


NOTE 5 - EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS:

Deferred compensation

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain executives.
Under the plan, participants may receive annual grants of units which vest
based upon total years of employment and years of employment following each
grant.  The unit values are based upon a formula related to the change in total
shareholders' equity from the time of the grant to the time the units are
surrendered for redemption.  The (decrease) increase in the value of all
outstanding units was $488,000, ($107,000) and $479,000 during the years ended
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 5 - EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS, (Continued):

Retirement and Employee Savings Plan

In 1986, the Company established the Presto Food Products, Inc. Retirement and
Employee Savings Plan (the Plan).  Employees who have attained the age of 21
and completed at least six months of service are eligible to participate in the
Plan.  Participants may elect to defer 2% to 15% of their annual compensation.
The Company matches, depending on the length of service, 50% to 100% of the
participant's deferred contributions up to 6% of the participant's annual
compensation.  Matching payments by the Company amounted to $256,000, $202,000
and $194,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  In addition, the Company
recorded a discretionary contribution of $252,000, $220,000 and $245,000 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Multi-employer Pension Plans

Approximately 60% of the Company's full-time employees are covered by
union-sponsored, multi-employer pension plans.  During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company recorded $542,000, $689,000 and $513,000 relating to these plans.
Contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated labor
contracts and are generally based upon the number of hours worked.  The Company
has been advised that there are no withdrawal liabilities under these plans as
of December 31, 1995.


NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS:

The Company occupies facilities and rents equipment under lease agreements
which expire at various dates through 2002.  At December 31, 1995, the future
minimum rentals under leases are $587,000, $387,000, $146,000, $65,000, $50,000
and $38,000 for each of the next five years and thereafter.   Certain of these
leases also provide for payments of taxes and insurance.  Total rental expense,
including month-to-month rental of machinery and equipment, was approximately
$2,216,000, $2,248,000 and $1,936,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
