                     Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
                                   (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, 1999. Accounting
measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates
than at year-end. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for
the full year.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals)
which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary to present fairly its
consolidated financial position at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and its
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods June
30, 2000 and 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"), My
Favorite Jerky ("MFJ"), Red Oak Farms Europe B.V., and its 80% owned subsidiary,
Here's The Beef Corp. ("HTB"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2)      Related Party Transactions

         The Company sells cattle to certain companies, which are owned by
members of the Company's management or Board of Directors. The Company also
purchases cattle and feed from these same entities. Additionally, both Midland
and ROF utilize trucking companies that are owned by members of the Company's
management or Board of Directors.

         The activity between the Company and these related parties at and for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and at December 31, 1999 are as
follows:

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

Forward Looking Statements

         This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties including, without limitation, uncertainties concerning the
Company's ability to continue to raise capital sufficient for the execution of
its business plan, 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, and 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 implementation of its strategy of using its
premium fresh beef program, Red Oak Farms' Premium Hereford Beef ("PHB"), as a
foundation from which to become a branded, premium marketer of retail and
consumer food products.

         Brand equity development, as part of this strategy, continues in the
transition from Certified Hereford Beef ("CHB") to PHB. The Company is striving
to restore these sales by attracting hotel, restaurant and institutional ("HRI")
and retail supermarket customers with the resources and commitment to
effectively operate the program. Customers of Red Oak Farms ("ROF") consist
primarily of quality and value-oriented upscale retail supermarket stores,
food-service outlets, high-end restaurants and export accounts. The Company's
fresh beef products continue to be recognized for superior flavor and quality,
and were awarded the "Best Tasting" in the hotel and restaurant division and
retail division by the American Tasting Institute. ROF also won the `Best of the
Show" awards in their respective categories for the third consecutive year.

         During the second quarter 2000, there was initial acceptance by
retailers and distributors of the first four of ten, planned ROF precooked beef
entrees. The Company commenced shipments to several prominent national
distributors and retailers.

         On April 1, 2000, the Company increased its ownership of "My Favorite
Jerky" ("MFJ") from 80% to 100%. The Company has completed development of its
4-oz. bag "MFJ". The Company has a written understanding with an established
co-packer to produce the "MFJ" items in Argentina and package them in the United
States and plans to commence shipment to the retail supermarket and mass retail
trade classes during the latter part of the third quarter.

         Royal Salmon of Norway, for which the Company has exclusive
distribution rights in the United States, will be sold in Europe on a
non-exclusive basis by Red Oak's European subsidiary, Red Oak Farms Europe B.V.
("ROFE"). The Company expects to make preliminary shipment of the smoked and
marinated, farm-raised salmon products during the third quarter of 2000.

         ROFE is manufacturing and commenced shipping on June 30, 2000 "Euro"
Beef Sticks through its European distribution network.

                                       11

<PAGE>

         Red Oak Farms Northeast Service Center ("ROFNE") sells PHB primarily to
the food service industry, and has been effective in placing PHB in hotels,
restaurants, and country clubs on the East Coast. ROFNE continued during the
second quarter 2000 to expand PHB HRI sales and distribution in key markets
nationwide. Management believes that these high-profile customers reinforce the
premium image of the Red Oak brand and aid in securing customers for the entire
array of Red Oak's premium food products.

         The Company closed two preferred stock offerings during the six months
ended June 30, 2000. This, as well as ongoing equity raising activities, has
improved the Company's financial position. Product development and introduction
activity for precooked products was funded through this additional equity. The
Company will require continued funding during the initial rollout of Red Oak's
precooked line, "MFJ", and Beef Sticks. The Company received approval from the
asset based lenders in July 2000 to increase the accounts receivable purchase
facility and the revolving inventory notes to levels that will accommodate the
Company's planned sales growth. However, as mentioned above, the Company will
require additional equity to provide the working capital to support this growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had consolidated
cash and cash equivalents balances of $92,932 and $17,067 respectively.

</TABLE>

         To help meet its capital requirements, management anticipates the
completion of a private placement, issuance of debt instruments, increasing the
accounts receivable purchase facility, and the revolving inventory notes.
Management believes the Company can move into profitability through several
planned steps as follows:

     o   Obtain additional equity to fund marketing and distribution systems,

     o   Achieve national distribution of its precooked products and "My
         Favorite Jerky;"

     o   Add premium fresh beef accounts;

     o   Achieve sales in Europe of the Euro Beef Sticks, Royal Salmon of Norway
         and precooked beef entrees;

     o   Continue to manage gross margins through aggressive cost control and
         product mix management;

     o   Minimize product sold into the commodity boxed beef trade.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

         The Company's cash flows from operating activities required cash of
$4,150,958 and $498,984 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         Operational losses, increases in accounts receivable, increases in
inventories, increases in prepaid and other assets, and a reduction in accounts
payable and accrued expenses required cash to continue operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

         The following activities influenced operational performance:

     o   The Company's continued expansion and development of precooked consumer
         beef products required operating expenses that were not offset with
         anticipated increases in sales. Several customers have deferred the
         timing of product placement in retail stores to the third quarter.

     o   Competition required pricing concessions during the second quarter as
         the Company continued its expansion of the PHB program. Continued focus
         on the growth of this PHB sales volume and a focus on branded premium
         pricing reflect an opportunity for favorable results.

     o   Growth of retail sales of PHB boxed beef at premium prices is required
         for profitability. Several anticipated customers have deferred the
         timing on placement of Red Oak Farms PHB product in their retail
         stores.

         Boxed beef customer demand continues to require increases in
receivables and inventories. On June 30, 2000, trade accounts receivable was
$1,744,103 compared to $1,326,491 at December 31, 1999. Inventories increased
from $3,142,825 at December 31, 1999 to $4,129,468 at June 30, 2000. Prepaid
expenses and Other Assets increased from $69,799 at December 31, 1999 to
$605,717 at June 30, 2000. Other Assets include packaging development and start
up costs for Red Oak Farms Europe B.V. to be allocated over the remainder of
2000.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

         Financing activities provided cash of $4,343,234 and $555,436 for the
first six months of 2000 and 1999, 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
14, 2000, the lender renewed the promissory note and the inventory line of
credit for $2,050,000 through September 15, 2000. The Company has obtained
approval to increase this line during the third quarter.

         Affiliates and stockholders are continuing to extend credit to ROF
until such time as the Company secures adequate funding through the issuance of
preferred stock to accredited investors and expands the asset-based lending to
continue the development and growth of the Company.

         On December 28, 1999 the Company entered into a settlement agreement to
restructure the Company's outstanding indebtedness to a supplier, and guarantees
on notes due the supplier from the Company's president and a related party. The
note is subordinated to the asset lender of ROF. $1,500,000 of this obligation
was paid during the first six months of 2000. Monthly principal payments of
$24,050 plus 8.5% interest beginning March 1, 2000 through February 1, 2001 are
due on the agreed note.

         A director, through a long-term convertible note, has recently loaned
the Company $1,540,000 as of August 14, 2000 including $500,000 during the
second quarter ended June 30, 2000. The Company raised $5,592,916 in the
aggregate from accredited investors during the six months ended June 30, 2000,
including $1,783,500 during the second quarter ended June 30, 2000 and an
additional $50,000 as of August 14, 2000.

         The Company continues to finance operations through new equity, the
sale of accounts receivable and the asset-based loan. 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 at fixed rates 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.

                                       15

         All exported products are currently sold in U.S. dollars to U.S.
trading companies for export. Assuming the Asian economies continue to improve
during 2000, the Company anticipates improved revenue from Asia.

         As the Company continues to nurture a selective and strategic customer
base, it must maintain a defensive position for the potential loss of any key
customer(s) to Red Oak's competition in the marketplace. The decision to move
away from the CHB program with Red Oak's own branded product, PHB, creates a
competitive opportunity for those distributors and packers who may choose to
participate in the CHB program. As the Company grows the sales base of its own
branded product, PHB, the risk that a competitor might use its proprietor PHB
brand is lessened.

         In the development of added-value branded consumer products, the
Company must invest significant management and capital resources for successful
supply chain development and management. Product rollouts also require marketing
and distribution support essential to ensure success and the achievement of
suitable or acceptable product margins. This process will require additional
capital and asset-based loans. There is risk that the Company may not receive
sufficient funding for these product developments.

         Cattle purchased by Midland and ROF for further marketing, processing,
and distribution is 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 the ROF beef
products. The procurement of yearlings and calves, reselling of the qualified
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.

         ROF periodically utilizes hedging and contract purchases for cattle to
minimize market risk and to ensure 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 qualified cattle
with certain genetic, diet, weight, and grading specifications. This premium
above market generates market risk, as this additional cost must be passed on to
the distributor and ultimately to the consumer. While developing its brand,
consumer demand, and consumer loyalty, ROF has been investing in market
penetration through pricing initiatives, which provide lower than preferred
margins.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

Revenues-Net Sales

         Three Months. Net sales of $18.2 million and $16.7 million were
generated by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. A net sales increase of 9.3% from 1999 to 2000 was primarily
attributable to a revenue increase from cattle trading activities that exceeded
the 27.3% decrease in boxed meat sales resulting from the loss of customers
prior to year end to CHB competitors.

Cost of Goods Sold.

         Three Months. Cost of goods sold of $17.7 million and $16.1 million
were generated by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. A cost of goods sold increase of 9.9% from 1999 to 2000 was
attributable to a 26.9% decrease in cattle purchases for boxed beef and related
changes in inventories and a 140.2% increase in cattle trading activities for
the three-month period.

         Cattle purchased for processing, including processing costs for boxed
beef and inventory changes decreased to 50.3% of revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to 75.2% of revenues for the same period in 1999.
This reflects a reduction in boxed beef activities from the transition into PHB
branded consumer product marketing.

         Cattle purchased for trading, including other trading costs increased
to 46.7% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 21.2%
of revenues for the first quarter of 1999.

         Live cattle prices and related boxed beef prices increased
approximately 9.3% and 10.8%, respectively for the three months ended June 30,
2000 versus the comparable period of 1999, 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 2000.

decrease of 14.4% from 1999 to 2000 was attributable to a 20.7% decrease in
cattle purchases for boxed beef and related changes in inventories and a 1.3%
increase in cattle trading activities for the six-month period.

         Live cattle prices and related boxed beef prices increased
approximately 10.0% and 12.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, versus the
comparable periods of 1999, 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 2000.

Gross Profit

         Decreases in branded boxed meat sales resulting from the transition to
PHB from CHB and increased costs in the development of precooked and other
value-added products placed pressure on gross profit for the three-months and
six months ended June 30, 2000, resulting in a reduction from the comparable
1999 periods.

Operating Expenses

         Three Months Selling and Distribution Expenses. Selling and
distribution expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, were
4.9% and 4.2% of net sales, respectively.

         The Company has made a transition from an internal sales staff to a top
mass retail and club store marketer for added-value products. This has generated
a favorable expense strategy, with related selling and distribution expenses
proportionate to sales. However, minimum fees must be absorbed until such time
as additional sales revenues are generated from the national based system.

         Three Months General and Administrative Expenses. General and
administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, were
5.0% and 3.2% of net sales, respectively.

         Administrative expenses included corporate expenses for product
development, startup of the European market through Red Oak Farms Europe, B.V.
and for the private placement of securities.

Inflation

         While inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
operations in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to continue to offset the effects of inflation on the costs of its products
through price increases to its customers Without experiencing a reduction in the
demand for its products or that inflation will not have an overall effect on the
beef market that would have a material effect on the Company.
