MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following is Management's discussion of the Company's
operating results and analysis of factors which have affected the
accompanying Statement of Earnings:
NET SALES:
Second Quarter,
1997
Second Quarter vs.
1997 1996 Second Quarter,
1996
$82,287,560 $72,511,335 +13.5
First Half, 1997
First Half vs.
1997 1996 First Half, 1996
$148,545,160 $135,776,189 +9.4%
Second Quarter 1997 net sales of $82,287,560, a record, were up
13.5% from the Second Quarter 1996 net sales of $72,511,335.
First Half 1997 net sales of $148,545,160 were up 9.4% from First
Half 1996 net sales of $135,776,189.
Second Quarter 1997 net sales of $82,287,560 were up 24.2% from
First Quarter 1997 net sales of $66,257,600.
Record sales for the Second Quarter and First Half of 1997 are
principally attributable to effective promotional programs as
well as new products and product line extensions. Sales
increases were achieved in all of the Company's core brands.
Consolidated sales were also favorably affected by improved
results in Mexico and Canada.
COST OF SALES:
Cost of Sales as a
Second Quarter Percentage of Net
Sales
1997 1996 2nd Qtr. 1997 2nd Qtr.
1996
$40,905,105 $37,219,507 49.7%
51.3%
Cost of Sales as a
First Half Percentage of Net
Sales
1997 1996 1st Half 1997 1st Half
1996
$73,840,042 $69,797,766 49.7% 51.4%
<PAGE 7>
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 51.3%
for the Second Quarter of 1996 to 49.7% for the Second Quarter of
1997. First Half cost of sales also decreased from 51.4% in 1996
to 49.7% for the same period in 1997. This improvement reflects
lower prices in certain ingredients and packaging materials and
the benefits of higher sales volumes against relatively fixed
factory overhead costs.
NET EARNINGS:
Second Quarter, 1997
Second Quarter vs.
1997 1996 Second Quarter, 1996
$12,507,359 $ 9,327,117 +34.1%
First Half, 1997
First Half vs.
1997 1996 First Half, 1996
$22,258,156 $17,445,079 +27.6%
Second Quarter 1997 net earnings of $12,507,359 or $.53 per
share, a record, were up 34.1% from net earnings of $9,327,117 or
$.39 per share for the Second Quarter of 1996.
First Half 1997 net earnings of $22,258,156 or $.94 per share,
also a new record, were up 27.6% from the prior year's First
Half net earnings of $17,445,079 or $.74 per share.
Second Quarter 1997 net earnings of $12,507,359 increased
$2,756,562 or 28.3% from First Quarter 1997 net earnings of
$9,750,797.
The increase in net earnings for the Second Quarter and First
Half of 1997 reflects higher sales, improved gross profit margins
and effective on-going cost control programs which resulted in
higher income from operations. Increased investment income and
decreased interest expense also contributed to the overall
increase in net earnings.
The consolidated effective income tax rate decreased from 37.1%
in the First Half of 1996 to 36.4% in the First Half of 1997.
This favorable decrease reflects increased tax-free investment
income as well as certain other state and foreign tax benefits.

two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock, each voting separately as a class, shall be
required to authorize:
(A) any merger or consolidation of the corporation
with or into any other corporation or any statutory exchange of
shares to which the corporation is a party; or
(B) any dissolution of the corporation;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any merger or
consolidation described in subparagraph (A) if the other party to
the merger or consolidation is a Subsidiary of the corporation.
For purposes of this subdivision (b)(4), a
"Subsidiary" is any corporation more than 50% of the voting
securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by the
corporation.
<PAGE 12>
(c) If and when dividends on the Common Stock
and the Class B Common Stock are declared payable from time to
time by the Board of Directors as provided in subdivision (b),
whether payable in cash, in property or in shares of stock of the
corporation, the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of
the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a
per share basis, in such dividends, except that, if dividends are
declared that are payable in shares of Common Stock or Class B
Common Stock, dividends shall be declared that are payable at the
same rate on both classes of stock and the dividends payable in
shares of Common Stock shall be payable to the holders of that
class of stock and the dividends payable in shares of Class B
Common Stock shall be payable to the holders of that class of
stock except for shares issued pursuant to the initial
distribution of shares of Class B Common Stock. If the
corporation shall in any manner subdivide or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the
outstanding shares of the other such class of stock shall be
proportionally subdivided or combined in the same manner and on
the same basis as the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Class
B Common Stock, as the case may be, have been subdivided or
combined.
(d)(1) The holder of each outstanding share
of Class B Common Stock shall have the right at any time, or from
time to time, at such holder's option, to convert such share into
one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, on and
subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
(2) In order to exercise his conversion privilege, the
holder of any shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted into
shares of Common Stock shall present and surrender the
certificate representing such shares of Class B Common Stock
during usual business hours at any office or agency of the
corporation maintained for the transfer of shares of Class B
Common Stock and shall deliver a written notice of the election
of such holder to convert the shares represented by such
certificate or any portion thereof specified in such notice.
Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address) in
which the certificate or certificates representing shares of
Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be
issued. If so required by the corporation, any certificate for
shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered for conversion into
shares of Common Stock shall be accompanied by instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the corporation, duly executed
by the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock or his duly
authorized representative. Each conversion of shares of Class B
Common Stock into shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have
been effected on the date (the
"conversion date") on which the certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Class B Common Stock shall have been
surrendered for conversion into shares of Common Stock and such
notice and any required instruments of transfer shall have been
received as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or
names any certificate or certificates representing shares of
Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be
deemed to have become immediately prior to the close of business
on the conversion date the holder or holders of record of the
shares of Common Stock represented thereby.
(3) As promptly as practicable after the presentation
and surrender for conversion into shares of Common Stock, as
herein provided, of any certificate representing shares of Class
B Common Stock, the corporation shall issue and deliver at such
office or agency, to or upon the written order of the holder
thereof, certificates representing the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion. In case any certificate
representing shares of Class B Common Stock shall be surrendered
for conversion of a part only of the shares represented thereby
into shares of Common Stock, the corporation shall deliver at
such office or agency, to or upon the written order of the holder
thereof, a certificate or certificates representing the number
<PAGE 13>
of shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such surrendered
certificate, which are not being converted. The issuance of
certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be made
without charge to the converting holder for any tax imposed on
the corporation in respect of the issue thereof. The corporation
shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be
payable with respect to any transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the
holder of the shares being converted, and the corporation shall
not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless
and until the person requesting the issue thereof shall have paid
to the corporation the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the corporation that such tax
has been paid.
(4) Upon any conversion of shares of Class B Common
Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, no adjustment
with respect to dividends shall be made; only those dividends
shall be payable on the shares of Class B Common Stock so
converted as may be declared and may be payable to holders of
record of shares of Class B Common Stock on a date prior to the
conversion date with respect to the shares of Class B Common
Stock so converted; and only those dividends shall be payable on
shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion of shares of
Class B Common Stock as may be declared and may be payable to
holders of record of shares of Common Stock on or after such
conversion date.
(5) All shares of Class B Common Stock which shall have
been surrendered for conversion into shares of Common Stock as
herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and
all rights with respect to such shares of Class B Common Stock,
including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote,
shall thereupon cease and terminate, except only the right of the
holders thereof, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (3) of
this subdivision (d), to receive shares of Common Stock in
exchange therefor.
(6) Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from
time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for
issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock.
(7) At any time when the number of "outstanding" shares
of Class B Common Stock as reflected on the stock transfer
records of the corporation falls below 14% of the aggregate
number of "outstanding" shares of Common Stock and of Class B
Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock
shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, on
a share-for-share basis. For purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence: (i) the total number of shares of Common
Stock and/or Class B Common Stock "outstanding" at any time shall
not include any shares of Common Stock which, after May 15, 1987,
are (a) issued in exchange for the assets or stock of other
entities (including pursuant to a merger or other business
combination), (b) sold by the corporation for value, (c) issued
upon conversion of convertible securities issued in exchange for
the assets or stock of other entities or sold by the corporation
for value or (d) issued as a stock split or dividend with
respect to shares issued or sold pursuant to clause (a), (b) or
(c) above; and (ii) any shares of Common Stock repurchased by
the corporation shall no longer be deemed "outstanding" from and
after the date of repurchase. In the event the Common Stock is
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange or the New York Stock
Exchange commences proceedings for delisting and the Common Stock
will be precluded by rule or law from being quoted on the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System or a successor automated quotation system, the Board of
Directors of the corporation shall have
<PAGE 14>
the right by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors to
cause each share of Class B Common Stock then issued and
outstanding or held as a treasury share to be immediately
converted into one share of Common Stock.
(8) In the event of any automatic conversion of the
Class B Common Stock pursuant to subdivision (d)(7), certificates
which formerly represented outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock will thereafter be deemed to represent a like number of
shares of Common Stock.
(e)(1) No person or persons holding
shares of Class B Common Stock (hereinafter called a "Class B
Holder") may transfer, and the corporation shall not register the
transfer of, such shares of Class B Common Stock, whether by
sale, assignment, gift, bequest, appointment or otherwise, except
to a Permitted Transferee of such Class B Holder, which term
shall have the following meanings:
(i) In the case of a Class B Holder who is a natural
person and the holder of record and beneficial owner of the
shares of Class B Common Stock subject to said proposed transfer,
"Permitted Transferee" means (A) the spouse of such Class B
Holder, (B) a lineal descendant of a great grandparent of such

other lineal descendants of a great grandparent of such Class B
Holder, the spouse of such Class B Holder, the spouses of such
other lineal descendants and an organization, contributions to
which are deductible for federal income, estate or gift tax
purposes (hereinafter called a "Charitable Organization"), and
for the benefit of no other person, provided that such trust may
grant a general or special power of appointment to the spouse of
such Class B Holder, any lineal descendant of such Class B Holder
or the spouse
of any such lineal descendant, and may permit trust assets to be
used to pay taxes, legacies and other obligations of the trust or
the estate of such Class B Holder payable by reason of the death
of such Class B Holder and provided that such trust prohibits
transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock to persons other than
Permitted Transferees, as defined in clause (ii) below, (F) a
Charitable Organization established by such Class B Holder, such
Class B Holder's spouse, a lineal descendant of a great
grandparent of such Class B Holder, a spouse of any such lineal
descendant, the corporation or employees or former employees (or
directors or former directors) of the corporation, and (G) a
corporation all the outstanding capital stock of which is owned
by, or a partnership all the partners of which are, one or more
of such Class B Holders, other lineal descendants of a great
grandparent of such Class B Holder or a spouse of any such lineal
descendant and the spouse of such Class B Holder, provided that
if any share of capital stock of such a corporation (or of any
survivor of a merger or consolidation of such a corporation), or
any partnership interest in such a partnership, is acquired by
any person who is not within such class of persons, all shares of
Class B Common Stock then held by such corporation or
partnership, as the case may be, shall be deemed without further
act to be converted into shares of Common Stock and stock
certificates formerly representing such shares of Class B Common
Stock shall
<PAGE 15>
thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent the like number
of shares of Common Stock.
(ii) In the case of a Class B Holder holding the shares

clause (iii) below, "Permitted Transferee" means (A) any

or the spouse of the creator of such Transferee Trust.
(iv) In the case of a Class B Holder who is the

Stock subject to said proposed transfer as nominee for the person
who was the beneficial owner thereof on the Record Date,

Permitted Transferee of such beneficial owner determined pursuant
to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) hereof, as the case may
be.

partnership and the holder of record and beneficial owner of the
shares of Class B Common Stock subject to said proposed transfer,
"Permitted Transferee" means any partner of such partnership or
any "Permitted Transferee" of such partner determined pursuant to
clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) hereof, as the case may be.

beneficial owner of the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to
said proposed transfer, "Permitted Transferee" means any
stockholder of such corporation receiving shares of Class B
Common Stock through a dividend or through a distribution made
upon liquidation of such corporation and the survivor of a merger

a bankrupt or insolvent Class B Holder, and provided such
deceased, disabled or incapacitated, bankrupt or insolvent Class
B Holder, as the case may be, was the record and beneficial owner
of the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to said proposed

above and the holder of record and beneficial owner of the shares
of Class B Common Stock subject to said proposed transfer,
"Permitted Transferee" means any lineal descendant of a great

pledge of such shares as collateral security for indebtedness due
to the pledgee, provided that such shares shall not be
transferred to or registered in the name of the pledgee and shall

event of foreclosure or other similar action by the pledgee, such

a Permitted Transferee of the pledgor or converted into shares of
Common Stock, as the pledgee may elect.
(3) For purposes of this subdivision (e):

Common Stock to a purported Permitted Transferee, require the
furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it deems
necessary to establish that such transferee is a Permitted
Transferee.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (i)
of subdivision (e)(1) and of subdivision (e)(4) hereof pertaining
to automatic conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into
shares of Common Stock, unless and until the question has been
raised as to whether particular shares have been so converted by
written notice to the Secretary of the corporation, the
classification of such shares as shown on the share transfer
books of the corporation may be relied upon for all proper
corporate purposes.
(f)(1) Shares of Class B Common Stock shall
be registered in the name(s) of the beneficial owner(s) thereof
(as hereafter defined) and not in "street" or "nominee" names;
provided, however, certificates representing shares of Class B
Common Stock issued as a stock dividend on the corporation's then
outstanding Common Stock may be registered in the same name and
manner as the certificates representing the shares of Common
Stock with respect to which the shares of Class B Common Stock
were issued and, provided further, however, that any certificates
representing shares of Class B Common Stock originally issued in
"nominee" name may be transferred and reissued in the name of
another "nominee" so long as the beneficial owner of the shares
represented by such certificate does not change as a result of
such transfer. For the purposes of this subdivision (f), the
term "beneficial owner(s)" of any shares of Class B Common Stock
shall mean the person or persons who possess the power to vote or
dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition, of such shares.
(2) The corporation shall note on the
certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock that

Common Stock issued in connection with stock splits, stock
dividends and other similar distributions, the corporation shall

corporation. All shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered for
conversion shall resume the status of authorized but unissued
shares of Class B Common Stock.
(h) Dividends may be declared and paid
to the holders of the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock
in cash, property, or other securities of the corporation out of
any net profits or net assets of the corporation legally

States.
(5) Any officer elected or appointed by
the board of directors, or by the executive committee, or by the

(7) Notice of the time and place of the

office address of record with the corporation, and such notice
shall be sufficient without publication or other form of notice
but the by-laws of the corporation may provide for additional
notice of any such meeting to be given to the stockholders. If

(8) The by-laws of the corporation may
provide that the directors may hold their meetings and have an

discretion in carrying out or formulating policies and plans of
action as may be granted by such agreement, and may elect one or

federal or state securities laws, including without limitation,
any claim of unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the
market for any security. This Article shall not affect the
liability of an officer or director with respect to any action or
omission occurring prior to the date that Article
<PAGE 20>
ELEVENTH becomes effective. No amendment to or repeal of this
Article ELEVENTH shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any director or officer of the
corporation for or with respect to any act or omission of such
officer or director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
TWELTH: (1) To the extent permitted by
Virginia law, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(including an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer
of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or
agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,

settlements, penalties, fines, including any excise tax assessed
with respect to employee benefit plans, actually incurred by him
or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding except
that no director or officer shall be indemnified against his or
her willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal
law. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article
shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid
by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, the payment of such expenses in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to
the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such
director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise. The
corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide
indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with
the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of
directors and officers.
(2) The indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or
officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.
