NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
(Unaudited)
(1) Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all
footnotes and certain financial information normally presented annually under
generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 1998. Accounting
measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates
than at year-end.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals)
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly its
consolidated financial position at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the interim
periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Red Oak Farms, Inc. ("ROF"),
Midland Cattle Company ("Midland"), Red Oak Feeders, LLC ("Feeders"), and its
80% owned subsidiaries, My Favorite Jerky ("MFJ") and Here's The Beef Corp.
("HTB"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
(2) Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
presented on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its
inception due to its start-up nature in establishing a premium branded Hereford
beef product. The Company has not yet been successful in establishing profitable
operations and is in technical noncompliance with certain loan agreements. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern.
Management is in the process of completing a private placement
offering. Efforts are also underway to increase product awareness and broaden
product lines, including changing brand identity through marketing efforts,
which should improve profitability and cash flow. Sales efforts are being made
to effect changes in the product mix of Hereford Beef sales and to increase the
volume percentage of branded versus commodity sales. In addition, management has
developed an operating plan including operating budgets to facilitate monthly
analysis of operations. Management believes these steps will enhance the
Company's ability to achieve favorable operating results.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising
additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties including risk of changing
market conditions with regard to livestock supplies and demand for products of
Red Oak Hereford Farms, Inc. (the "Company"), domestic and international
regulatory risks, competitive and other risks over which the Company has little
or no control. Consequently, future results may differ from management's
expectations. Moreover, past financial performance should not be considered a
reliable indicator of future performance.
Current Quarter Developments
The Company continues to focus on managing gross margins and securing
strategic customers necessary to increase volumes to a profitable level for its
boxed beef activity. This has resulted in significant operational improvement in
the performance of Red Oak Farms during the third quarter.
Through strategic marketing analysis, the Company is evaluating the
brand name of its consumer beef. Management believes this will further goals of
developing brand identity and exclusivity of Red Oak Farms Premium Hereford Beef
products. The genotypical and phenotypic (live animal) specifications for beef
products will remain the same and minor adjustments will likely be made to the
carcass specifications.
The Company continues development of added value products. Several beef
based products will be market tested during the fourth quarter with planned
rollout to customers during early 2000. These precooked products focus on
consumer convenience and high-quality eating experience.
On September 17, 1999, Home Shopping Network offered a Red Oak Farms
Beef package in two segments. Management believes nominal sales of these
packages were secondary to the nationwide exposure estimated at more than 20
million households. The Company will continue to test various premium direct
sale opportunities for its products.
Letters of understanding have been signed which will lead to
manufacturing and distribution of My Favorite Jerky Beef Sticks in Europe.
Other initiatives include the signing of an exclusive right to market
products including Royal Salmon of Norway and other seafood products in Europe
and the United States. Management believes the addition of this premium line
improves its product range and offers excellent margin potential. Several
current and prospective customers have expressed interest in the smoked and
fresh seafood lines.
Included in the above mentioned letters of understanding are the
commitments of three of the businesses to invest under certain terms in the
Company's private placement offering.

Fourth Quarter Developments
After strategic marketing analysis, the Company has decided to change
the brand name of its consumer beef to Red Oak Farms Premium Hereford Beef.
Management believes that this will further goals of developing brand identity
and exclusivity of Red Oak Farms products. The genotypical and phenotypic (live
animal) specifications for its beef products remain the same and minor
adjustments were made to the carcass specifications. This brand name and product
refinements was accomplished after extensive negotiations with the American
Hereford Association resulted in a refusal of the association to allow changes
that management believed necessary. Subsequently the Company received notice on
October 4, 1999 of termination of its nonexclusive agreement with the American
Hereford Association effective December 31, 2000. This transition will begin in
early 2000. The Company and its new marketing and sales broker group, H.L.
Jackson & Associates, consider this decision essential to the marketing and
growth of distribution of its branded consumer products.
In November 1999, the Company closed on the first phase of a private
placement stock offering, receiving $1,000,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had
consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of $62,764 and $16,079,
respectively.

The Company must have additional funds to meet operational requirements
on an ongoing basis. Management has plans, including completion of a private
placement and continuing issuance of debt to affiliated parties, to provide this
cash until positive cash flows can be achieved. Management believes that with
funds, the Company can move into profitability through several planned steps.
o Continue to increase pricing in both branded and commodity beef through
refined management of promotional activity.
o Continue to reduce the percentage of its product sold into the commodity
beef trade.
o Continue to manage improving gross margins, through product mix management.

o Secure strategic customers presently identified necessary to increase volume
to a profitable level.
o Continue to bring on higher margin products, such as beef jerky, to increase
the overall gross margins.
The Company's sources of cash have included issuance of Common and
Preferred Stock, sales of accounts receivable, and borrowings on asset based
lines of credit. The Company is committing funds to develop the Red Oak Farms
Premium Hereford Beef Brand and other quality synergistic products. The Company
requires additional resources to move to the next stage of development. Funding
will be critical to the continuing operations of the Company, and management is
engaged in discussions with sources of capital, as well as, conducting a private
placement offering.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Company's cash flows from operating activities required cash of
$1,383,826 and $2,486,976 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Reductions in operating losses resulted primarily from the
following activities:
o Increases in branded pricing for new retail supermarket customers and
refined management of promotional pricing of feature items have contributed
to improved performance.
o Significant improvement in the percentage of branded versus commodity sales
was achieved during the first nine months of 1999 as compared to substantial
losses generated by commodity sales of product produced by cattle harvested
to fulfill customer demand for various cuts during the respective 1998
period.
o Losses were reduced through a realignment of the customer base into a more
efficiently served customer mix during the first nine months of 1999. The
1998 losses were in part from implementing the Company's strategy of
building a track record and reputation for reliability into the retail
supermarket and food service industry. Continued increases in sales volume
and a significant shift to branded premium pricing continue to reflect
opportunity for favorable results.
o Losses were reduced through refocusing cattle trading activities, to
developing the supply of Hereford Beef.
The Company continues to expand the development and marketing of
value-added consumer beef products.

Increases in depreciation and amortization, services for common stock,
losses from partnership, increases in credit from affiliates through accounts
payable, accrued expenses, and checks in excess of bank balances provided the
cash to absorb the reduction in operational losses during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and for the same period in 1998.
Boxed beef customer demand continues to require increases in
receivables and inventories. On September 30, 1999, accounts receivable was
$1,913,178 compared to $1,040,743 at December 31, 1998. Inventories increased
from $919,459 at December 31, 1998 to $2,500,129 at September 30, 1999.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $1,528,707 and $2,838,092 for
the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company continues to receive an asset-based line of credit, which
provides borrowings up to $1.5 million based on eligible inventory.
Substantially all of ROF assets and personal guarantees of the Company's
President and a Director collateralize the line of credit. The Company is in
technical non-compliance on certain financial conditions on this loan. On August
15, 1999, the lender renewed the promissory note and the inventory line of
credit through October 22, 1999. On October 28, 1999, the lender renewed the
promissory note and the inventory line of credit through January 15, 2000. The
Company intends to extend or secure another asset-based lender prior to January
15, 2000.
Affiliates and stockholders are continuing to extend credit to ROF
until the Company secures other funding.
The Company, through ROF, is in technical non-compliance on its loan
agreement with MoorMan's, a feed company and cattle supplier, which gives
MoorMan's the right to call the loan. The loan amount of $1 million is due
October 2001. As of September 30, 1999, the loan is in default and is classified
as a current liability on the balance sheet. As of May 25, 1999, the Company
executed an agreement in principle with Archer Daniel's Midland Company ("ADM")
for the repayment of this obligation. The Company has not made payments to ADM
and continues to discuss with them alternatives for repayment or refinancing.
This agreement does not change the current classification of this loan.
Issuance of notes payable for investment in product development and
cattle procurement, provided funding resources for the continued growth and
development of premium branded beef products.
The Company continues to finance operations through the sale of
accounts receivable and the asset based debt. Capital formation is critical for
the continuation of daily operations, for continued growth and development of
premium branded beef products, and for the marketing and distribution of other
quality synergistic products under development by the Company.

Market Risk
The Company continues to be exposed to the impact of changes in
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. The Company
manages such exposures through the use of contracts when deemed prudent.
Current financing is predominately fixed or related to U.S. prime
interest rates. As the performance of the Company improves, the risk premium
paid above prime on asset based lending will be negotiated to lower levels.
Conversely, continued losses will continue the risk premium.
All exported products are currently sold in US dollars to US trading
companies for export. Asian currencies have improved during the first nine
months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. The Company has
increased sales to Asia during the first nine months of 1999.
Hereford cattle purchased by Midland and ROF for further marketing,
processing, and distribution, are exposed to the impact of changing commodity
prices. Commodity risk is present at various levels of the Company's business
cycle including: procurement, production, processing, and distribution of Red
Oak Farms Premium Hereford Beef. The procurement of yearlings and calves,
reselling of the certified animals to feeders, purchasing of the fat cattle for
processing, the related dressed cattle on the rail and related by-products, the
fabricated boxed primals, and several of the subsequent value-added consumer
products are all affected by commodity market risk.
Hedging and contract purchases for the Hereford animals are
periodically utilized by ROF to minimize market risk and to insure that adequate
supply of qualified Hereford cattle is available to meet the current and growing
sales demand.
ROF pays a market premium to the feeder for producing a qualified
Hereford that complies with certain genetic, diet, weight parameters, and
certain grading specifications. This premium above market generates market risk,
as this additional cost must be passed on to the distributor and ultimately the
consumer for this premium branded consumer product. While developing brand
equity, consumer demand, and consumer loyalty, ROF has been investing in market
penetration through pricing initiatives, which provides lower than preferred
margins.

generated by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. A net sales increase of 0.5% from 1998 to 1999 was primarily
attributable to a 10.8% increase in boxed meat sales that exceeded a 15.1%
decrease in cattle trading activities for the three-month period.

generated by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. A net sales increase of 4.8% from 1998 to 1999 was primarily
attributable to a 41.5% increase in boxed meat sales that exceeded a 33.8%
decrease in cattle trading activities for the nine-month period.
The Company focused on growth in volume during the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, and continues to increase its customer
base with emphasis on growth of branded beef product sales while continuing
efforts to integrate value-added products with significantly higher gross
margins.
The Company's cattle trading activities decreased for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999. Midland Cattle Company has been
refocused to have responsibility for developing the supply of Hereford Beef for
feeding. Volume in both 1999 and 1998 continued to be reduced due to a reduction
of non-Hereford Beef cattle business. Midland will continue to place cattle in
the ROF supply channel and engage in nominal non-Hereford Beef cattle trade.

Cost of Goods Sold.
Three Months - Cost of goods sold of $ 18.1 million and $ 18.6 million
was generated by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively. A cost of goods sold decrease of 2.8% from 1998 to 1999 was
primarily attributable to a 6.9% decrease in cattle purchases for boxed beef and
increases in other processing costs of 119.8% (predominately increases in
volume) that exceeded a 15.5% decrease in cattle trading activities for the
three months period.
Cattle purchased for processing, including processing costs for boxed
beef and inventory changes increased to 61.8% of revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to 58.7% of revenues for 1998, reflecting the
continuing shift from cattle activities into branded consumer product marketing.
Cattle purchased for trading, including other trading costs decreased
to 31.8% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to
38.0% of revenues for 1998.
Live cattle costs and related boxed beef costs increased approximately
10.4% and 13.5%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to 1998, based on USDA and National Cattlemen's Beef Association
Cattle-fax. These commodity market based increases have improved the market
values for boxed beef products in 1999.
