                      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 June 27, 1998 and  December  27, 1997 and the
     results of its operations for the thirteen and twenty-six  weeks ended June
     27,  1998 and June 28, 1997 and cash flows for the  twenty-six  weeks ended
     June 27, 1998 and June 28, 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
     twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 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 twenty-six  weeks ended June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997, the difference
     between the actual expenses incurred and the expenses charged to operations
     was not significant.

2.   Net Income Per Common Share
     ---------------------------
     Net income per common share is  calculated  according  to the  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 second  quarter of 1998,  the company  realized net income of $1,013,691
versus $2,106,634 for the second quarter of 1997. Net income per share decreased
to $.13 from $.27 per share for the comparable quarter of 1997.

For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998, the company realized net income of
$2,654,793  versus  $3,720,427 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997. Net
income per share decreased to $.34 from $.48 per share for the comparable period
in 1997.

For the second quarter,  gross sales decreased 1.2% to $56,933,408,  compared to
$57,652,342 last year. Gross sales, less discounts and allowances  resulted in a
net sales decrease of 1.6% to $38,361,039  compared to $38,974,105 reported last
year.  However,  our unit sales remained stable. The decrease in gross sales was
the result of price  reductions  on  certain  product  lines and  changes in our
promotion  schedule.   As  part  of  the  company's  strategic  plan  to  expand
geographically,  we had  anticipated new sales volume in national sales and also
in products  produced in our Oxford plant. As a result, we decided to reduce our
promotion  schedule  from the usual  three  weeks per  quarter  to two.  We also
decided to take price  reductions on certain  product  lines to stabilize  their
sales.  While we were  successful in bringing  stability to these product lines,
the  change  in  promotion  schedule,  along  with the lack of  anticipated  new
national sales volume, resulted in lower gross sales. The difference between the
decreases of 1.2% in gross sales and 1.6% in net sales  resulted  primarily from
an increase in returns partially offset by lower promotion costs.

Cost of  sales,  as a  percentage  of gross  sales,  was 42.7% and 41.0% for the
second  quarters of 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  This  increase in the current
quarter  was due to the  effect of the  temporary  price  reductions  on certain
product lines as well as costs incurred in conjunction with product  development
costs at the Oxford facility.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  for the second  quarter of 1998
increased by $839,728 or 8.1% over the comparable  period in 1997. This increase
resulted  primarily  from an increase in selling  expenses  associated  with the
expansion into new geographic regions.  Administrative costs also increased as a
result  of   payroll   taxes   generated   from  the  IRS   ruling   classifying
owner/operators   as  statutory   employees  and  costs   associated   with  the
installation of a new computer system.

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

The  effective  tax rate was 31.3% for the quarter ended June 27, 1998 and 38.6%
for the quarter ended June 28, 1997 which  compares to a federal  statutory rate
of 34%. The difference  between the effective rate and the statutory rate in the
second quarter of 1998 is the result of tax benefits arising from passive income
and state tax  credits.  The  principal  reason for the  difference  between the
effective  rate and the  statutory  rate in the  second  quarter of 1997 was the
effect of state income taxes.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

The company has consistently  demonstrated the ability to generate positive 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 twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998, net cash from operating activities
decreased by  $2,806,218 to $3,601,673  from  $6,407,891  for the same period in
1997. The decrease in net cash from operating  activities was principally due to
a decrease in net income and the payment  made to the IRS as  settlement  of the
dispute concerning the payroll taxes for the independent  owner/operators  which
was accrued in 1997.

Net cash used for investing  activities for the twenty-six  weeks ended June 27,
1998 decreased by $1,292,437 relative to the same period in 1997 principally due
to a  decrease  in the  funds  needed to  finance  the net  owner/operator  loan
activity.  This decrease was partially  offset by an increase in expenditures on
equipment to upgrade the computer system and production facilities.

Net cash from financing  activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 1998
increased  by  $1,552,072  relative to the same  twenty-six  weeks in 1997.  The
increase is primarily the result of a net increase in long-term  debt  partially
offset by a decrease in short-term debt 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.
