           CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (UNAUDITED)



1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

White Rose Foods, Inc. is a company which was formed to serve as a holding
company for all of the stock of Di Giorgio Corporation ("Di Giorgio"). DIG
Holding Corp contributed 100% of the outstanding voting stock of Di Giorgio to
White Rose Foods, Inc. in exchange for shares of common stock of White Rose
Foods, Inc. In addition, White Rose Foods, Inc. purchased 100% of the non-
voting stock common stock of Di Giorgio from DIG Holding Corp in exchange for
a note which was repaid in connection with the White Rose Foods, Inc $63.5
million face value senior discount note offering. Since these transactions
were among companies under common control, the acquisition of Di Giorgio by 
White Rose Foods, Inc. has been accounted for as if it were a pooling of 
interest and the financial statements reflect 100% ownership of Di Giorgio's 
operations for all periods. White Rose Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries
(collectively "the Company") had no operations other than Di Giorgio's for 
all periods.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
           Results of Operation

Results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 and July 1,
1995

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 increased $4.2 million or
1.7% to $258.3 million as compared to $254.1 million in the thirteen weeks
ended July 1, 1995.  The increase primarily reflects higher same customer
sales.

Gross margin (excluding warehouse expense) increased  to 10.9% of net sales in
the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 from 10.1% of net sales in the prior
period as a result of a more favorable mix of product sold as well as improved
purchasing efficiencies at the Company's dairy division.

Warehouse expense increased to 3.9% of net sales or $10.0 million in the
thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 as compared to 3.7% of net sales or $9.5
million in the prior period as improvements in the grocery and frozen 
divisions were offset by higher temporary costs in the dairy division as it 
undergoes a change in its receiving and warehousing systems. In addition, 
beginning with the second quarter of 1996, the entire cost of the Kearny
facility is included in current operations whereas in the past it had been 
included as part of a facility integration expense reserve stemming from the 
acquisition of the Royal dairy division in 1994.

Transportation expense decreased to 2.1% of net sales or $5.3 million in the
thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 from  2.3% of net sales or $5.9 million in
the prior period as a result of better utilization of its transportation 
fleet. This was accomplished through the use of larger trailers and more 
structured delivery schedules thereby reducing the number of deliveries. 
These savings were partly offset by higher wages.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to 2.3% of net sales or
$6.1 million  in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 from  2.2% of net 
sales or $5.7 million in the prior period.

Other income remained relatively flat at approximately $1.8 million.

Interest expense decreased  to $5.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended June
29, 1996 from $6.2 million in the prior period.  The comparative decrease in
the 1996 period represents a decline in the average outstanding level of the
Company's funded debt, which reduction resulted from the retirement of $4.8
million of the Di Giorgio's 12% senior notes .

Due to both book and tax net operating loss carryforwards, the Company did not
record an income tax provision.

The Company recorded net income for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 of
$1.9 million, which included a $219,000 net gain on the extinguishment of
$4.8 million of Di Giorgio's 12% senior notes.  The $1.9 million net profit 
for the quarter compares to a net loss $875,000 in the comparable prior year
period.

July 1, 1995

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996 increased $13.2 
million or 2.6% to $522.2 million as compared to $509.0 million in the 
twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995.  The  increase  sales primarily reflects
higher same customer sales.

Gross margin (excluding warehouse expense) increased  to 10.7% of net sales in
the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996 from 10.0% of net sales in the prior
period as a result of a more favorable mix of product sold as well as improved
purchasing efficiencies  at the Company's dairy division.

Warehouse expense remained constant at 3.9% of net sales as improvements in
the grocery and frozen divisions were offset by higher temporary costs in the
dairy division as it undergoes a change in its receiving and warehousing 
systems. In addition, beginning with the second quarter of 1996, the entire 
cost of the Kearny facility is included in current operations whereas in the
past it had been included as part of a facility integration expense reserve 
stemming from the acquisition of the Royal dairy division in 1994.

Transportation expense decreased to 2.1% of net sales or $11.0 million in the
twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996 from  2.3% of net sales or $11.6 million
in the prior period as a result of better utilization of its transportation
fleet. This was accomplished through the use of larger trailers and more
structured delivery schedules thereby reducing the number of deliveries. These
savings were partly offset by higher wages.

Selling, general and administrative expense remained flat at 2.3% of net 
sales.

Other income declined to $3.2 million from $3.7 million in the prior period
reflecting the inclusion in the prior period of  a one-time settlement of a
lawsuit for approximately $500,000.

Interest expense decreased  to $12.0 million in the twenty-six weeks ended 
June 29, 1996 from $12.1 million in the prior period. The comparative decrease
in the 1996 period represents a decline in the average outstanding level of
the Company's funded debt, which reduction resulted from the retirement of 
$4.8 million of the Di Giorgio 12% senior notes.

Due to both book and tax net operating loss carryforwards, the Company did not
record an income tax provision.

The Company recorded net income for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996
of $1.8 million, which included a $219,000 gain on the extinguishment of $4.8
million of the Di Giorgio 12% senior notes, net of tax, as compared to a net
loss $2.9 million in the prior period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations and amounts available under the Company's bank 
credit facility are the Company's principal sources of liquidity.  The Company
believes that these sources will be adequate to meet its anticipated debt
service requirements, working capital needs, and capital expenditures during
fiscal 1996.

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996, cash flow provided by
operating activities was $3.1 million consisting primarily of cash generated
from net income, non-cash expenses and declines of $2.2 million in inventory
and $5.2 million in net receivable levels being partially offset by a $12.4
million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expense and other liabilities.

Cash flow used in investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June
29, 1996 was approximately $342,000, all of which was used for capital
expenditures. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $2.4
million, primarily used to retire long-term debt.

Borrowings under the Company's revolving bank credit facility were $36.0
million at June 29, 1996.  Additional borrowing capacity of $27.7 million was
available at that time under the Company's borrowing base formula.

Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITDA") was $17.7 million
during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996 as compared to $13.1 million
in the comparable prior year period and $9.6 million during the thirteen weeks
ended June 29, 1996 as compared to $7.3 million in the comparable prior year
period.

The consolidated indebtedness and stockholders' equity of the Company on
June 29, 1996 were $223.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively compared to
$235.7 million and $1.1 million at July 1, 1995.

Under the terms of the Company's revolving bank credit facility, the Company
is required to meet certain financial tests, including minimum interest
coverage ratios and minimum net worth.  As of June 29, 1996, the Company was
in compliance with its covenants.

The indenture governing the Di Giorgio 12% senior notes, as well as its bank
agreement, impose various restrictions upon the Company, including among other
things, limitations on the occurrence of additional debt and the making of
certain payments and investments.

From time to time when the Company considers market conditions attractive, the
Company has purchased and may continue to purchase and retire a portion of Di
Giorgio's outstanding 12% senior notes.
