4.   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT PLANS:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the consolidated
financial statements, the Company has a deficit in retained earnings of
approximately $40,600,000 and a deficit in stockholders' equity of approximately
$11,600,000.  These conditions have combined to create a working capital deficit
of approximately $19,400,000 at March 31, 1998.

As discussed in Note 5, management recently announced that the Company had
entered into a letter of intent regarding a transaction with LF Capital Partners
LLC whereby LF Capital Partners LLC will acquire 90% of the Nonni's biscotti
business for $32 million. The Company also has plans to sell other assets.
Management believes that these actions, combined with improved operations in the
first quarter of 1998, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations
through December 31, 1998 and to continue as a going concern.

On April 10, 1998, the Company factored certain accounts receivable and used a
portion of those proceeds to reduce the amounts owed under the $7,000,000
revolving line of credit to $6,000,000.  In addition, the remaining $6,000,000
on the revolving line of credit was assumed by the Company's Chairman and his
spouse, and in connection with such assumption, the bank released its
collateral.  The Company simultaneously agreed to repay the $6,000,000 assumed
by the Company's Chairman and his spouse by signing a note payable due in August
1998; however, if excess cash is not available to repay the note, the due date
will be extended.

5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 6, 1998, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of
intent regarding a transaction whereby LF Capital Partners LLC, an affiliate of
the investment banking firm Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, will acquire 90% of the
Company's Nonni's(R) biscotti business in a recapitalization.  This preliminary
agreement includes all of the Nonni's assets, including the brand, the equipment
owned at the Tulsa, Oklahoma production facilities, the distribution rights, and
other brands used for the biscotti products.  The value to be received by the
Company in the proposed transaction is $32,000,000, including approximately
$26,250,000 in cash at closing (subject to adjustments), $1,250,000 in a
minority investment in the common equity of the Nonni's entity that the Company
would retain, and $4,500,000 in an earn-out agreement based on future earnings.
As part of this agreement, Tim Bruer, the Company's president and chief
executive officer, Dorvin Lively, vice-president and chief financial officer, as
well as most other members of the Company's management, will transfer to the new
Nonni's Entity.

Management intends to use the proceeds from the sale to pay bank debt, the
borrowings from the Company's Chairman, other notes payable, and other
obligations of the Company.

Also on April 6, 1998, the Company has decided to sell the remaining operations
of its specialty baked goods segment, including the bagel bar and pound cake
product lines. During May 1998, the Company entered into discussions with
potential purchasers. Based upon those negotiations, management has recorded a
writedown of approximately $2,125,000 to properly reflect the assets at their
fair value. 

Once all of the current businesses are divested management will evaluate other
alternatives, which include, but are not limited to, acquisitions, mergers or
liquidations of its remaining assets to shareholders.

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               ------------------------------------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The continuing operations information excludes the results from operations
of the Company's snack tray business which was discontinued in the fourth
quarter of 1997, the Company's non-snack tray direct store delivery business
located in southern California, and the Company's mail order business which was
sold in the third quarter of 1997. No income tax benefit has been recognized in
connection with these discontinued operations due to the Company's net operating
loss carry forward position.  The following discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto.  The following table presents, as a percentage of net sales,
certain selected financial data for the Company for the periods indicated:

PERIOD TO PERIOD COMPARISONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED
TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

Net Sales.  Consolidated net sales decreased 9% from $5,715,000 to $5,179,000.
However, during this period, Nonni's biscotti sales increased 57% from
$2,358,000 to $3,695,000. This increase was driven by revenue increases and new
product offerings in the wholesale clubs. Offsetting this increase was a decline
in sales of the snack brands of $405,000 and a decline in bagel bar sales of
$1,669,000. Bagel bar sales declined due to a planned reduction in the number of
product demonstrations for the bagel bar brands in the wholesale clubs during
the first quarter of 1998 and from the Company exiting unprofitable bagel bar
markets.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$1,719,000, an 81% increase over the comparable period in 1997 of $948,000.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 33% from 17%. This
consisted of a 147% increase in biscotti gross profit, and a 4% increase in
bagel bar gross profit. This increase was due to a number of cost-saving
initiatives implemented by management, improved product pricing, exiting
unprofitable markets, and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 17% to 13% and decreased from $978,000 to $665,000.
The decrease was due to the Company's consolidation of manufacturing facilities
and centralizing certain general and administrative functions.

Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $1,271,000
to $996,000 over the comparable period of 1997, a decrease of $275,000 and
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 22% to 19%. This decrease was driven
by decreased demonstrations for the bagel bar brands in the wholesale clubs
during the first quarter of 1998 as sales from these brands decreased by 53%
over the first quarter of 1997.

Depreciation and Amortization of Intangibles.  Depreciation and amortization of
goodwill and other intangibles remained flat at $236,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same quarter of 1997. Depreciation included in
cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 was
$151,000 and $122,000 respectively.

Loss on Adjustment to Carrying Value. Loss on adjustment to carrying value
represents the write down of net assets related to the bagel bar and pound cake
businesses to their estimated fair value.

Operating Loss.  Operating losses increased from $1,538,000 to $2,295,000, an
increase of $737,000. The increase was due to the loss on adjustment to the
carrying value discussed above offset by both higher gross margins during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as well as lower sales and marketing expenses
and lower general and administrative expenses also discussed above.

Interest and Other.  Interest and other expense decreased from $1,537,000 to
$711,000, a decrease of $826,000. The decrease was driven primarily from a
charge of $1,150,000 related to the issuance of certain Regulation S debentures
that occurred in the first quarter of 1997 that had a convertible feature at a
discount to the market price of the common stock of the Company. The overall
decrease in interest and other expense was offset by an increase in interest
expense due to increased debt outstanding from the prior year quarter for
funding working capital requirements.

Loss from Discontinued Operations.  Losses of $1,350,000 from discontinued
operations represents the results of the operations of the Company's snack tray
business and an increase in the loss on disposal due to lower than anticipated
net proceeds on businesses which have been sold.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
Net Loss.  The Company's net loss increased from $3,604,000 to $4,356,000, an
increase of $752,000 over the comparable period for 1997. This increase in net
loss is attributed to the loss recorded on bagel bar and pound cake assets and
was offset by higher gross profits, lower sales and marketing expenses and lower
interest and other expense as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash used in operations was $674,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 compared to $1,589,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Net
cash provided by investing activities was $593,000 compared to cash used of
$628,000 for the comparable period.  Net cash provided by financing activities
during the first three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $25,000 from net
borrowings on long-term debt.

On April 10, 1998, the Company factored certain accounts receivable and used a
portion of those proceeds to reduce the amounts owed under the $7,000,000
revolving line of credit to $6,000,000.  In addition, the remaining $6,000,000
on the revolving line of credit was assumed by the Company's Chairman and his
spouse, and in connection with such assumption, the bank released its
collateral.  The Company simultaneously agreed to repay the $6,000,000 assumed
by the Company's Chairman and his spouse by signing a note payable due in August
1998; however, if excess cash is not available to repay the note, the due date
will be extended.  Interest is at local bank prime plus 1 1/2% and is
classified as current in the consolidated financial statements.  As of May 11,
1998, the Company owes the Chairman and his spouse $12,200,000.

The Company has a $6,000,000 term note with a bank. At March 31, 1998,
$6,000,000 was outstanding and interest is at prime. Interest is payable monthly
and principal payments begin in May 1998, with a final balloon payment due in
May 1999 based on a five-year amortization. This note is collateralized by the
Company's machinery and equipment and is also guaranteed by the Company's
Chairman, his spouse and another family member of the Chairman.

During the first quarter the Company placed $200,000 of debentures (due January
1999 with an interest rate of 8%) pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.  These debentures can be converted at any time after a
holding period of 45 days at the lower of (a) 75% of the closing price of the
common stock for the day immediately preceding the conversion date or (b) 75% of
the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the five business days
immediately preceding the date of subscription by the purchaser.  These funds
were used for working capital purposes.  On April 7, 1998, $50,000 of these
debentures were converted into 94,715 shares of common stock.

The continuing losses from prior years and losses for 1998 combined with start-
up costs, acquisitions and consolidations, have required substantial capital and
have left the Company in a highly leveraged financial position as of March 31,
1998 with most of the 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
Company's debt classified as current. However, on April 6, 1998, the Company
announced that it had entered into a letter of intent regarding a transaction
whereby LF Capital Partners LLC, an affiliate of the investment banking firm
Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, will acquire 90% of the Company's Nonni's(R) biscotti
business in a recapitalization. This preliminary agreement includes all of
Nonni's assets, including the brand, the equipment owned at the Tulsa, Oklahoma
production facilities, the distribution rights, and other brands used for the
biscotti products. The value to be received by the Company in the proposed
transaction is $32,000,000, including approximately $26,250,000 in cash at
closing (subject to adjustments), $1,250,000 in a minority investment in the
common equity of the Nonni's entity that the Company would retain, and
$4,500,000 in an earn-out agreement based on future earnings. The proceeds from
this transaction will be used to pay all current and long-term debt as well as
other obligations of the Company. This transaction is expected to close during
the third quarter of 1998, but it is subject to the negotiation of a definitive
agreement, as well as shareholder and regulatory approval. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the transaction will occur.

The Company also announced on April 6, 1998 that it planned to dispose of its
bagel bar business and its pound cake business located in Santa Ana, California.
The Company believes that such a transaction will be consummated during 1998.

The Company will use the proceeds from the Nonni's sale along with the proceeds
from the disposition of the remaining snack tray operations to satisfy current
obligations of the Company.  These proceeds should provide sufficient cash flow
to the Company to pay off all current and long-term debt as well as provide any
necessary working capital for the Company.  Prior to the occurrence of the
transaction, it may be necessary for the Company to utilize other short-term
financing to fund its operations.

         As of March 31, 1998, the Company's borrowings on its bank revolving
credit facility exceeded the borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and
inventories.  The principal amount owed by the Company under such revolving
credit facility at March 31, 1998 was $6.75 million.  On April 10, 1998, the
Company factored certain accounts receivable and used a portion of those
proceeds to reduce the amounts owed under the $7,000,000 revolving line of
credit to $6,000,000.  In addition, the remaining $6,000,000 on the revolving
line of credit was assumed by the Company's Chairman and his spouse, and in

simultaneously agreed to repay the $6,000,000 assumed by the Company's Chairman
and his spouse by signing a note payable due in August 1998; however, if excess
cash is not available to repay the note, the due date will be extended.
Interest is at local bank prime plus 1  1/2% and is classified as current in the
consolidated financial statements.  As of May 11, 1998, the Company owes the
Chairman and his spouse $12,200,000.
