                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                       ---------------------------------

To the Tasty Baking Company
Board of Directors:

          We have audited the financial statements and supplemental schedules of
the Tasty Baking Company Thrift Plan as listed in the accompanying index on page
1.  These financial statements and supplemental schedules are the responsibility
of the Thrift Plan Committee of the Tasty Baking Company Board of Directors (the
Committee).  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as
of December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for each of the three fiscal years in the period
ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

          Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules, as
listed in the accompanying index on page 1, are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statement
of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.  The
supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                       TASTY BAKING COMPANY THRIFT PLAN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                ________________

 1.  General Description of Plan:
     --------------------------- 
   
     The Tasty Baking Company Thrift Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution
     plan under which all employees of Tasty Baking Company who meet certain
     service requirements are eligible to participate.
   
     For allocations, benefits and vesting provisions as well as any other
     questions, Plan participants should refer to the Plan document.
   
     While Tasty Baking Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue the
     Plan, it is free to do so at any time, subject to penalties set forth in
     the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In the event
     such discontinuance resulted in the termination of the Plan, the net assets
     of the Plan would be distributed to Plan participants and beneficiaries in
     proportion to their respective account balances.
   
     On August 1, 1993, Tasty Baking Company (TBC) distributed in the form of a
     tax-free dividend to its shareholders all of the issued and outstanding
     common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Phillips & Jacobs,
     Incorporated (P&J). Each shareholder of record of TBC common stock was
     entitled to receive two (2) shares of P&J common stock for each three (3)
     shares of TBC common stock then held. As of a result of the distribution,
     each company operates as an independently publicly traded company.
     Subsequently, on September 1, 1994, P&J shareholders approved the merger of
     P&J and Momentum Corporation. As a result of this transaction, in which
     Momentum merged into P&J, the name was changed to PrimeSource Corporation.
   
     During Plan years ended January 1, 1994 and December 26, 1992, eligible
     employees of P&J participated in the Plan.  Effective January 1, 1994, all
     P&J participants were terminated from the Plan as a result of the spin-off
     of P&J in 1993.  A transfer of their Plan assets was made in the current
     year to the P&J 401(k) Savings Plan (See Note 7).
   
     Accounting Period:
     ----------------- 
   
     The Plan operates under a 52-53 week fiscal year.

 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
     ------------------------------------------ 
   
     Investment Valuation:
     -------------------- 
   
     Investments are stated at current value. The value of Common Stock of Tasty
     Baking Company and PrimeSource Corporation is determined based upon the bid
     price of the stock on the AMEX and NASDAQ exchanges, respectively, on the
     last day of trading of the Plan year. The various Guaranteed Investment
     Contracts, which are managed by Capitoline Investment Services, Inc., are
     backed by major insurance companies. The current value of the contracts is
     equivalent to cost (see Note 4). The current value of the Equitable Common
     Stock Account (pooled separate account) is based on the net asset value per
     share of the Common Stock Account as determined by Equitable Life Assurance
     Society of the United States (Equitable) as of the end of the Plan year.
   
     Contributions:
     ------------- 
   
     Under the Plan, employee contributions consist of basic contributions of up
     to $450 annually and supplemental contributions of up to 9% of an
     employee's annual base salary. The Company's contribution (employer
     portion) is equal to an amount not to exceed the lesser of $450 or 100% of
     the basic contributions made by each employee. Employee contributions are
     accrued based on payroll deductions authorized by the employees.
   
     Payment of Benefits:
     ------------------- 
   
     Benefits are recorded when paid.
   
     Other:
     ----- 
   
     Purchases and sales of investments in Tasty Baking Company Common Stock,
     PrimeSource Corporation common stock, the Guaranteed Investment Contracts,
     and units of the Equitable Common Stock Account are reflected on a trade-
     date basis. Gains and losses realized are based principally on specific
     identification. Plan investments are sold to satisfy participant withdrawal
     requests and, therefore, resultant gains or losses are recorded as
     withdrawals are made.
   
     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Income from other
     investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.
   
     The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
     Plan Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the current value of
     its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
     unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

 3.  Investment Program:
     ------------------ 
   
     Prior to January 1, 1995, participants elected to have a portion of their
     contributions used to purchase various combinations of Tasty Baking Company
     Common Stock (maximum election 50% of basic contributions), interest in the
     various Guaranteed Investment Contracts (maximum election 100%), and
     interest in the Equitable Common Stock Account (maximum election 50%).  In
     addition, the Plan has purchased Tasty Baking Company Common Stock in
     private, unsolicited transactions at prevailing market prices.
   
     The Plan had 957, 1,134 and 1,076 employee participants at December 31,
     1994, January 1, 1994 and December 26, 1992, respectively. The number of

     account. In connection with the merger, the ESOP participants could elect
     to receive a distribution equivalent to their ESOP balances. On February 1,
     1994, distributions in this regard were made amounting to $1,517,451
     ($1,171,510 cost). The ESOP distributions consisted of Tasty Baking Company
     common stock (76,339 shares at $700,872 cost), P&J common stock (50,893
     shares at $467,248 cost) and $3,390 cash.
    
 6.  Spin-off Distribution of P&J Common Stock:
     ----------------------------------------- 
     
     In 1993, Tasty Baking Company distributed to its shareholders all of the
     issued and outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, P&J. Each
     shareholder of record received two shares of P&J common stock for every
     three shares of Tasty Baking Company common stock they owned. In connection
     with this distribution, the Tasty Baking Company Thrift Plan received
     201,991 and 21,472 shares of P&J common stock related to the employer and
     employee stock accounts, respectively.
     
 7.  Asset Transfer to P&J 401(k) Savings Plan:
     ----------------------------------------- 
     
     On January 1, 1994, all participants who were employees of P&J were
     terminated from the Plan.  In accordance with this termination, Plan assets
     aggregating $3,182,477, which consisted of 56,974 shares of Tasty Baking
     Company common stock, 36,063 shares of P&J common stock and cash of
     $1,985,081 were subsequently transferred on February 11, 1994 to the newly
     formed P&J 401(k) Savings Plan.

 8.  Withdrawals and Forfeitures:
     --------------------------- 

     Participants who terminate from the Plan can elect to have distributed to
     them the full value in their respective accounts which includes their
     contributions (including supplemental contributions) and 100% of the
     employer contributions made on their behalf.

 8.  Withdrawals and Forfeitures: (Continued)
     ---------------------------             

     Active participants may withdraw their monies saved up through 1987 twice a
     year without cause.  All monies saved may be withdrawn (pre-1987 funds
     first) at any time but only for a hardship withdrawal as defined by IRS
     regulations.  Once an active participant has been a Plan participant for
     five years, company contributions can be withdrawn on any Plan year-end
     date.  Receipt of monies by an active participant in this regard causes no
     interruption to basic and supplemental contributions and company matching
     contributions are not penalized.
   
     On February 8, 1994, distributions, which were pending from the previous
     year, were made from participants' account balances amounting to $251,366
     ($338,811 at market). Of this amount, $76,978 related to terminations from
     the Plan and $174,388 related to partial withdrawals by employees still
     participating in the Plan. In addition, distributions from transferred ESOP
     assets were made on February 1, 1994 as detailed in Note 5. Distributions
     from the asset transfer to the P&J 401(k) Savings Plan were made on
     February 11, 1994 as detailed in Note 7.
     
     At December 31, 1994, distributions were pending from participants'
     account balances totalling $1,622,449 at market. Of this amount, $1,233,743
     related to terminations from the Plan, $8,574 related to emergency
     withdrawals and $380,132 related to partial withdrawals by employees still
     participating in the Plan.

10.  Federal Income Taxes:
     --------------------

     The United States Treasury has determined that the Plan, including all
     amendments constitutes a qualified trust under Section 401(a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from Federal income taxes
     under provisions of Section 501(a).
   
     On the basis of the present laws and regulations, a participant is not
     subject to income taxes on contributions made by the Company or on any
     earnings credited to his account prior to distribution by the Trustee. If a
     participant, prior to termination of employment or attaining age 59 1/2,
     withdraws earnings on his savings, or if he withdraws stock purchased with
     contributions made by his employer, the amount of earnings on his savings
     and the then current market value of such stock and earnings thereon are
     taxable as ordinary income. In general, if left with the Plan and
     distributed within one taxable year, upon attaining age 59 1/2 or
     termination of employment, the pro rata share of the taxable distribution
     attributable to years of participation after 1973 will be ordinary income.
     Employees, upon attaining age 59 1/2, who have been Plan participants for
     at least five taxable years before the taxable year of distribution and
     attained age 50 before January 1, 1986 can elect a 5-year or 10-year
     averaging method. The unrealized appreciation in value of the Company's
     stock distributed to participants is subject to tax when such securities
     are disposed of by the participants. A lump sum distribution received by an
     individual because of separation from service will not be subject to tax if
     property received in excess of the individual's after-tax contributions to
     the Plan is transferred to a qualified individual retirement account or
     annuity, or a qualified employee's trust or annuity plan within 60 days.
