NOTE F-INSURANCE ADJUSTMENT
- ---------------------------

        During the fiscal quarter ended October 30, 1996, the Company's workers'
compensation expense was reduced by approximately $800,000 as a result of its
insurance carrier's audit of the Company's workers' compensation plan for the
plan year ended July 2, 1996. The reduction resulted from lower payrolls and
better than expected experience in workers' compensation claims during the plan
year. The adjustment was allocated to the Company's functional areas with human
resource costs. The adjustment is included in other receivables at October 30,
1996.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 30, 1996 compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended 
November 1, 1995.

     Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1996 (the "1997 Third
Quarter") were approximately $33.8 million, compared to approximately $36.7
million for the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 1995 (the "1996 Third
Quarter").  This decrease is primarily a result of the inclusion of
approximately $3.8 million from the Clayton County megastore in the 1996 Third
Quarter sales, which store was closed in November 1995.  However, included in
the 1997 Third Quarter sales was approximately $0.6 million of sales directly
related to the 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games in the Atlanta area. Comparable
store sales increased 1.3% for the 1997 Third Quarter as compared to the 1996
Third Quarter. The increase is primarily due to the Company's improved marketing
and merchandising efforts.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased in the 1997 Third
Quarter to approximately $8.9 million or 26.3% of net sales compared to
approximately $8.6 million or 23.6% of net sales in the 1996 Third Quarter.  The
1996 Third Quarter gross profit reflects above normal waste and promotional
pricing associated with the since closed Clayton County megastore.  Additional
reasons for the increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales from the
1996 Third Quarter to the 1997 Third Quarter include: (i) the recognition of a
$0.5 million receivable resulting from an adjustment to workers' compensation
expense (the "Workers' Compensation Adjustment"), which adjustment is a result
of the Company's better than expected claims experience in workers'
compensation; and (ii) the Company's on-going improvements in operational
efficiencies at all levels, 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
including new merchandising initiatives, better operational performance at the
store level, higher employee morale and a more cohesive management team.

     Direct store expenses decreased to approximately $5.1 million or 15.0% of
net sales in the 1997 Third Quarter compared to approximately $6.1 million or
16.7% of net sales in the 1996 Third Quarter.  The direct store expenses during
the 1996 Third Quarter consisted of higher expenses primarily related to labor
costs for the Clayton County megastore.  Additionally, the 1997 Third Quarter
includes approximately $0.2 million credit arising from the Workers'
Compensation Adjustment.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately
$2.5 million or 7.5% of net sales in the 1997 Third Quarter compared with
approximately $3.4 million or 9.3% of net sales in the 1996 Third Quarter.  The
1996 Third Quarter selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of (i)
higher expenses  related to the Clayton County megastore and (ii) higher
corporate management costs. While the Company experienced an increase in
advertising expenses during the 1997 Third Quarter, it was offset by a decrease
in consulting and professional fees and executive and administrative labor costs
as compared to the 1996 Third Quarter.  The 1997 Third Quarter selling, general
and administrative expenses also contains an adjustment of approximately $0.1
million related to the Workers' Compensation Adjustment.

     Depreciation and amortization, which includes depreciation and amortization
for the stores and the corporate facilities, but excludes the manufacturing
facilities (which are included in cost of goods sold), declined to approximately
$0.9 million or 2.6% of net sales in the  1997 Third Quarter from approximately
$1.1 million or 2.9% of net sales in the 1996 Third Quarter.  The decline in
depreciation and amortization expense is primarily the result of approximately
$0.1 million or 0.2% of depreciation on certain assets that have since been
taken out of service as a result of the closing of the Clayton County megastore.
In addition, the decline is the result of certain other assets becoming fully
depreciated prior to and during the 1997 Third Quarter.  The 1996 Third Quarter
also included 

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
approximately $0.2 million or 0.6% of pre-opening expenses relating to the
opening of the Clayton County megastore, which opened during such quarter.

     During the 1997 Third Quarter the Company had an operating profit of
approximately $0.4 million or 1.2% of net sales as compared to an operating loss
in the 1996 Third Quarter of approximately $6.7 million or (18.1)% of net sales
which is primarily attributable to the inclusion of approximately $4.4 million
or 12.1% as a provision for the Clayton County store closing, as well as the
reasons set forth above.

     Interest expense decreased to approximately $0.6 million or 1.8% of net
sales in the 1997 Third Quarter compared to approximately $0.9 million or 2.3%
of net sales in the 1996 Third Quarter.  This decrease primarily is the result
of applying the net proceeds from the real estate sales of (i) the  Clayton
County megastore, (ii) one outparcel at the Gwinnett megastore and (iii) the
Nashville, Tennessee undeveloped property in order to reduce the Company's long
term obligations, which in turn has reduced interest expense.

     Other income remained relatively unchanged at approximately $0.2 million
during the 1997 Third Quarter, compared with approximately $0.2 million during
the 1996 Third Quarter.  However, as a result of the decrease in 1997 Third
Quarter sales as compared to 1996 Third Quarter sales, due to reasons set forth
above, other income as a percentage of net sales increased to 0.7% compared to
0.5% in the 1996 Third Quarter.

     As a result of the above, the Company's operations incurred a net loss for
the 1997 Third Quarter of approximately $18,000 or approximately $.00 per
common share and common equivalent share, primary, compared with a net loss of
approximately $7.4 million or (approximately $1.20) per common share and common
equivalent share, primary, during the 1996 Third Quarter.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 30, 1996 compared to Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
November 1, 1995.

     Net sales for the first thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1996 (the "1997
Period") decreased to approximately $105.6 million from approximately $112.6
million for 

                                     -11-
<PAGE>
 
the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 1995 (the "1996 Period"). This decrease
is primarily the result of the inclusion in the 1996 Period of approximately
$8.3 million of revenues associated with the opening of the Clayton County
megastore in May 1995, which store was closed in November 1995. However, the
1997 Period included approximately $1.2 million of business related to the 1996
Olympic and Paralympic Games in the Atlanta area. On a comparable store basis,
sales increased 0.1%. This increase is comprised of a 2.8% comparable store
sales increase during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as a result of improved
marketing and merchandising efforts and a 1.3% comparable store sales increase
during the Third Quarter of fiscal 1997, which was partially offset by a 3.9%
comparable store sales decline during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 due to
extreme weather conditions and growing competition in the Atlanta area.

     Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the 1997 Period improved to
approximately $27.9 million or 26.4% from approximately $27.3 million or 24.2%
in the 1996 Period.  This increase resulted from improvements in manufacturing
efficiencies, reduced retail waste of manufactured products and new
merchandising initiatives, all combined with better operational performance.  In
addition, while gross profit during the 1996 Period was adversely affected due
to above normal waste and promotional pricing associated with the opening of the
Clayton County megastore, gross profit during the 1997 Period includes
approximately $0.5 million as a result of the Workers' Compensation Adjustment.

     Direct store expenses for the 1997 Period decreased to approximately $16.3
million or 15.4% from approximately $18.0 million or 16.0% for the 1996 Period.
During the 1996 Period, as a result of opening the Clayton County megastore, the
Company experienced higher labor expenses. During the 1997 Period, direct store
expenses were reduced approximately $0.2 million as a result of the Workers'
Compensation Adjustment.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the 1997 Period decreased
to approximately $8.0 million or 7.6% from approximately $9.1 million or 8.1% in
the 1996 

                                     -12-
<PAGE>
 
Period which is primarily attributable to lower labor costs. In addition,
selling, general and administration expense for the 1997 Period contains an
adjustment of approximately $0.1 million due to the Workers' Compensation
Adjustment.

     Depreciation and amortization declined to approximately $2.6 million or
2.4% from approximately $3.0 million or 2.6% in the 1997 Period.  This reduction
resulted from the physical transfer and reclassification of assets and
depreciation expense from stores to property held for sale and from certain
other assets becoming fully depreciated prior to or during fiscal 1997.  The
1996 Period also included approximately $0.4 million or 0.4% of pre-opening
expenses for the Clayton County megastore.

     Due to the reasons set forth above, during the 1997 Period the Company had
an operating profit of approximately $1.1 million or 1.0% of net sales as
compared to an operating loss in the 1996 Period of approximately $7.6 million
or (6.8)%.

     Interest expense decreased to approximately $2.0 million or 1.9% of net
sales in the 1997 Period from approximately $2.3 million or 2.0% of net sales in
the 1996 Period.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in
long term obligations from the sale of (i) the Clayton County megastore, (ii)
one outparcel at the Gwinnett megastore and (iii) the  sale of the Nashville
Property.

     Other income in the 1997 Period increased to approximately $1.1 million or
1.1% compared to approximately $0.7 million or 0.6% of net sales in the 1996
Period.  The major component of the increase is a gain realized on the sales of
the Gwinnett outparcel and the Nashville Property.

     As a result of the above, the Company's operations for the 1997 Period
generated a net profit of approximately $3,000 or approximately $.00 per
common share and common equivalent share, primary, compared with a net loss of
approximately $9.4 million, which includes a provision of approximately $4.4
million (or 3.9%) for closing the Clayton County megastore, or ($1.53) per
common share and common equivalent share, primary, for the 1996 Period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     During the 1997 Period, the Company's operating activities provided
approximately $1.6 million in cash and the Company invested approximately $1.3
million in capital expenditures which was offset by approximately $5.2 million
in gross proceeds from the sale of nonproducing property and equipment. The
Company also borrowed $0.5 million on its line of credit and paid off
approximately $6.1 million on its long term obligations.  As a result, net cash
during the 1997 Period decreased by approximately $0.2 million resulting in a
quarter-end cash balance of approximately $0.9 million.  At October 30, 1996,
the Company had available approximately $0.5 million in additional borrowing
capacity under its credit facilities.

     Cash provided by investing activities in the 1997 Period was approximately
$3.9 million.  Investing activities consisted of capital expenditures for
property and equipment relating to stores and manufacturing facilities.  During
the 1997 Period, the Company used approximately $0.6 million for additional
equipment and building improvements at the Alpharetta megastore and bakery
facility, approximately $0.4 million to remodel a portion of the Gwinnett
megastore to include an ethnic food department and approximately $0.3 million
for additional packaging equipment in the Company's USDA manufacturing
facilities.  Total capital expenditures incurred during the 1997 Period were
approximately $1.3 million. Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment
consisted primarily of the sale of an outparcel at the Gwinnett megastore
property for approximately $0.7 million in gross proceeds, approximately $4.3
million in proceeds from the sale of the Nashville, Tennessee property and
approximately $0.2 million from the sale of other nonproducing assets.

     Cash used by financing activities in the 1997 Period was approximately $5.6
million. Financing activities consisted mainly of repayments under the Company's
long term debt from real estate sold, as well as regular payments on capital
leases. In addition, the Company has continued to utilize its line of credit. At
the end of the 1997 Period the Company had a cash balance of approximately $0.9
million.

                                     -14-
<PAGE>
 
     The Company's working capital position in the 1997 Period was increased to
approximately $4.5 million as compared to approximately ($0.1) million at fiscal
year ended January 31, 1996 ("Fiscal 1996 year End").  The increase in working
capital is due largely to a mortgage note (the "Mortgage Loan") on the Company's
distribution center and baking facility being reduced by a principal payment of
approximately $0.5 million, and the due date being extended from June 30, 1996
until December 31, 1997, which has allowed approximately $2.3 million to be
reclassified as long term debt.  Primarily as a result of these actions, the
current maturities of notes payable has decreased by approximately $2.8 million
since Fiscal 1996 Year End.

     The Company is now in full compliance with all covenants, conditions and
terms of the Mortgage Loan.  In addition, the Company's working capital position
was strengthened by an increase in current assets due in part to an increase in
receivables to approximately $1.5 million as of the 1997 Period as compared to
approximately $0.3 million at Fiscal 1996 Year End.  The increase in other
receivables includes approximately $0.8 million as a result of the Workers'
Compensation Adjustment and approximately $0.2 million of impact fees from the
sale of the Nashville, Tennessee property.  The Company expects to collect these
amounts by the end of the current fiscal year. The Company has received all
amounts for Olympic and Paralympic related business during the Third Quarter of
fiscal 1997.

     The Company continues to seek a purchaser for the remaining outparcel at
the Gwinnett County megastore property.  Net proceeds from such sale are
expected to be approximately $0.4 million and would be used to further reduce
the Company's long term borrowings.

     The Company's ability to fund its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, make interest payments and meet its other cash requirements
depends, among other things, on internally generated funds and the continued
availability of and compliance with its credit facilities.  Management believes
that internally generated funds and its available credit facilities, as
restructured, will provide the Company with sufficient 

                                     -15-
<PAGE>
 
sources of funds to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements through the fiscal
year ending January 29, 1997. However, if there is a significant reduction of
internally generated funds, the Company may require funds from outside financing
sources. In such event, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able
to obtain such funding as and when required or on acceptable terms.
