                      TASTY BAKING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Interim Financial Information
       In the opinion of management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
       condensed  financial  statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of
       only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
       position of the company as of March 28,  1998 and  December  27, 1997 and
       the results of its operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 1998
       and March 29, 1997 and cash flows for the thirteen  weeks ended March 28,
       1998 and March 29, 1997. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial
       statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated  financial
       statements  and footnotes  thereto in the company's 1997 Annual Report to
       Shareholders.  In addition,  the results of  operations  for the thirteen
       weeks ended March 28, 1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
       to be expected for the full year.

       Certain  expense items are charged to  operations  in the year  incurred.
       However,  for interim  reporting  purposes  the  expenses  are charged to
       operations on a pro-rata basis over the company's accounting periods. For
       the  thirteen  weeks  ended  March  28,  1998 and  March  29,  1997,  the
       difference  between the actual expenses incurred and the expenses charged
       to operations was not material.

2.     Net Income Per Common Share
       Net income per common share is calculated  according to the  requirements
       of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128 - "Earnings Per
       Share" which requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per
       share. Net income per common share Basic is based on the weighted average
       number of common  shares  outstanding  during  the year.  Net  income per
       common share - Diluted is based on the weighted  average number of common
       shares and dilutive  potential common shares outstanding during the year.
       The company's  dilutive  potential common shares  outstanding  during the
       year result entirely from dilutive stock options.

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

Results of Operations

For the first quarter of 1998, the company  realized net income of $1,641,102 or
$.21 per share  versus  $1,613,793  or $.21 per share for the first  quarter  of
1997.

For the first quarter,  gross sales increased 2.7% to  $57,160,752,  compared to
$55,633,240 last year. Gross sales,  less discounts and allowances,  resulted in
net  sales  of  $38,320,468,   compared  to  $37,454,746   reported  last  year,
representing  an increase of 2.3% which was related to a sales  volume  increase
from promotional efforts at the Tastykake division  (Tastykake) and the addition
of Dutch Mill donuts to Tastykake owner/operator routes.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of gross sales, was 41.7% and 41.7% for the first
quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively. Product development costs at the Oxford
facility  were  offset  by  improved  manufacturing   efficiencies  and  reduced
ingredient costs.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  for the first  quarter of 1998
increased by $239,437 or 2.3% over the  comparable  period in 1997.  Most of the
increase can be attributed to the additional  expenses from the Oxford facility,
which was not in operation  during the first quarter of 1997. The balance of the
increase  resulted  from an increase  in selling  expenses  associated  with the
expansion into new geographic  regions and an increase in  administration  costs
related to an upgrade of the computer system.

Interest  expense  increased  for the first  quarter  of 1998  versus  the first
quarter of 1997 as a result of increased average borrowing levels.  The decrease
in other income,  net for the first quarter of 1998 was the result of a decrease
in rental income.

The  effective tax rate was 34.0% for the quarter ended March 28, 1998 and 38.5%
for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 which compares to a federal  statutory rate
of 34%.  There was no difference  between the  effective  rate and the statutory
rate in the first  quarter of 1998  because the effect of state taxes was offset
principally  due to tax  benefits  arising from passive  income.  The  principal
reason for the  difference  between the effective rate and the statutory rate in
the first quarter of 1997 was the effect of state income taxes.

Financial Condition

The company has  consistently  demonstrated  the ability to generate  sufficient
cash  flow from  operations.  Bank  borrowings,  under  various  lines of credit
arrangements, are used to supplement cash flow from operations during periods of
cyclical shortages.

For the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 1998, net cash from operating  activities
decreased by $834,268 to $838,095 from  $1,672,363  for the same period in 1997.
The decrease in net cash from  operating  activities was  principally  due to an
increase in prepaid expenses slightly offset by an increase in accrued expenses.

Net cash used for investing  activities  for the thirteen  weeks ended March 28,
1998 decreased by $1,150,416 relative to the same period in 1997 principally due
to a decrease  in capital  requirements  at the  Oxford  facility,  as well as a
decrease in the funds needed to finance the net owner/operator loan activity.

Net cash from  financing  activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 1998
decreased  by  $1,131,676  relative  to the same  thirteen  weeks  in 1997.  The
decrease  is  primarily  the  result of a net  decrease  in short and  long-term
borrowing relative to the prior year.

For  the  remainder  of  1998  the  company  anticipates  that  cash  flow  from
operations,  along with the continued  availability of bank lines of credit, the
revolving  credit  agreement  and  other  long-term   financing,   will  provide
sufficient cash to meet operating and financing requirements.
