adjustments necessary to present fairly the data for the periods presented 
therein.  The results of operations for the three month period ended 
September 28, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 28, 1997.

NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN CONTROL

A change in control transaction occurred December 31, 1994 and was recorded 
in conformity with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16.  Accordingly, 
assets and liabilities as of January 1, 1995 were restated and the results of 
operations since that time reflect the "push-down" of the new controlling 
shareholder's basis, minority interest at its historical basis, and the 
consideration received from the former controlling shareholder.  See 
footnotes to the audited financial statements for a more detailed description 
of the transaction.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three month period ended September 28, 1996 of $1,993,000 
increased approximately 26% when compared with revenues of $1,576,000 in the 
prior year comparable period.  This revenue increase resulted primarily from 
the addition late in fiscal 1996 of new foodservice customers and an increase 
in revenues in contract manufacturing for a customer who sells to both 
domestic retail chains and export customers.  The Company continues to market 
its pizzas and crusts nationally to retail supermarket service delicatessen 
customers and major foodservice accounts.  Beginning in May 1996, the Company 
began a private label program producing a line of pizzas being sold in the 
frozen food section of a major national grocery retailer.

The gross profit margin of 19.6% for the three months ended September 28, 
1996 declined versus the prior year comparable period gross margin of 22.0%.  
The current year margin reflects higher material costs (principally in 
cheese) offset only partially by improvements realized in operating 
efficiencies and a higher level of overhead absorption.  In the first quarter 
of fiscal 1997 cheese, the Company's most significant ingredient cost, was at 
unprecedented high levels with prices that were approximately 25% higher than 
during the comparable prior year period.  To offset the higher material costs 
the Company has, where possible, raised prices.  These price increases 
however were primarily affected beginning late in fiscal 1996 and in certain 
cases not until late September 1996.  In addition, fixed overhead per unit 
sold remains high at the Company's low level of production.  The Company 
projects an increase in its gross profit contribution rate given recent price 
increases and assuming the Company achieves increased production volume.  
Additionally, gross profit would be further benefited if cheese prices return 
to historical price levels.  In late October 1996 the price of cheese did 
begin a downward trend but prices remain unpredictable.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 
28, 1996 decreased as a percent of sales versus the prior year comparable 
period to 23.8% from 25.1% primarily due to the increased revenues.  The 
Company does not anticipate having to add substantially to fixed overhead 
costs to support revenue growth of fifty to one hundred percent of its 
current revenue level assuming a similar mix of products and customers.

As a result of higher borrowings interest expense increased from $4,000 to 
$31,000 for the current fiscal first quarter versus the comparable prior year 
period.  The resulting loss for the three month period ended September 28, 
1996 was $116,000 versus a reported loss for three months ended September 30, 
1995 of $53,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $96,000 for the three month 
period ended September 28, 1996 versus cash used in operating activities of 
$47,000 in the comparable prior year period.  The cash provided by operations 
was generated primarily from the reduction in accounts receivable and 
inventories since June 29, 1996, the proceeds of which were used to satisfy 
accounts payable and accrued expenses as well as pay down the Company's 
revolving line of credit. Management believes that the Company becomes cash 
positive from operations if it achieves a sustained average monthly revenue 
rate of approximately $700,000 at current sales prices and product mix.

In March 1996 the Company entered into a $500,000 revolving line of credit 
agreement collateralized by eligible accounts receivable and inventories. 
Throughout most of September and October 1996 the outstanding borrowing under 
this credit facility averaged approximately $300,000.  The Company believes 
that this credit facility will be adequate to fund the Company's short term 
working capital requirements.

The Company's primary emphasis remains revenue generation through increased 
sales to existing and new customers.  It is also aggressively evaluating 
opportunities ranging from contract manufacturing for others to the 
acquisition of a synergistic product line or company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains "forward looking 
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, 
as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, 
regarding management's expectations concerning gross profit contribution, 
cheese prices, volume, the adequacy of funds from the existing credit 
facility and the level at which the Company's operations become cash 
positive.  The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified 
by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially 
from those in the forward looking statements, including, among others, the 
following:  reduced or lack of increase in demand for the Company's products, 
competitive pricing pressures, changes in the market price of ingredients 
used in the Company's products and the level of expenses incurred in the 
Company's operations.
