NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position and the results of
operations and cash flows. Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
reported net earnings.

The results of operations for the three months ended December
29, 2001 and December 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year. Sales of the Company's retail
stores are generally higher in the first quarter due to the
holiday shopping season. Sales of the Company's frozen
beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher
in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
adequate to make the information not misleading, it is
suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
the notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended September 29, 2001.

Note 2 The Company's calculation of earnings per share in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," is as follows:

Note 4 Using the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 131, the Company has
two reportable segments: Snack Foods and Frozen Beverages.
Snack Foods manufactures and distributes snack foods and bakery
items. Frozen Beverages markets and distributes frozen
beverage products. The segments are managed as strategic
business units due to their distinct production processes and
capital requirements.

The Company evaluates each segment's performance based on
income or loss before taxes, excluding corporate and other
unallocated expenses and non-recurring charges. Information
regarding the operations in these reportable segments is as
follows:

Note 5 On September 30, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and
Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 142 includes requirements
to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for
impairment rather than amortize them; accordingly, the Company
no longer amortizes goodwill, thereby eliminating an annual
amortization charge of approximately $2,600,000.

The Company's two reporting units, which are also reportable
segments, are Snack Foods and Frozen Beverages. Both segments
have goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets.

The carrying amount of acquired intangible assets for the Snack Foods
and Frozen Beverage segments as of December 29, 2001 are as follows:

Gross Carrying Accumulated
Amount Amortization
(in thousands)

SNACK FOODS

Amortized intangible assets

Licenses and rights $2,086 $420

FROZEN BEVERAGES

Amortized intangible assets

Licenses and rights $ 201 $ 95

Licenses and rights are being amortized by the straight-line
method over periods ranging from 4 to 20 years and amortization expense
is reflected throughout operating expenses. There were no changes in
the gross carrying amount of intangible assets for the three months
ended December 29, 2001. Additionally, the Company did not record any
transition intangible asset impairment loss upon adoption of SFAS 142.
Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the 3 months
ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000 was $76,000 and $28,000,
respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is
approximately $300,000 in 2002, 2003 and 2004, $200,000 in 2005 and
$150,000 in 2006.




10
Goodwill

The carrying amounts of goodwill for the Snack Foods and Frozen
Beverage segments are as follows:

Snack Frozen
Foods Beverages Total
(in thousands)

Balance at December 29, 2001 $14,679 $31,171 $45,850

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the
three months ended December 29, 2001.

The Company will complete documentation of its transitional
goodwill impairment tests by the end of the second quarter of 2002.
Currently, management does not anticipate it will record any
transitional goodwill impairment loss as a result of its adoption of
SFAS 142.

Reported net income for the three months ended December 29, 2001
and December 30, 2000, exclusive of amortization expense that is related
to goodwill that is no longer being amortized, would have been:

For the Three Months Ended
December 29, December 30,
2001 2000
($000's except for earnings
per share amounts)

Reported net earnings (loss) $822 $(693)
Add back: Goodwill amortization - 412
Adjusted net earnings (loss) $822 $(281)

Basic earnings per share:
Reported net earnings (loss) $.10 $(.08)
Goodwill amortization - .05
Adjusted net earnings (loss) $.10 $(.03)

Diluted earnings per share:
Reported net earnings (loss) $.09 $(.08)
Goodwill amortization - .05
Adjusted net earnings (loss) $.09 $(.03)

Note 6 Subsequent to the end of the quarter and prior to
the filing of this 10-Q, KMart Corporation filed for chapter
11 bankruptcy protection. The Company does not anticipate a
significant impact to its liquidity or results of operations
as a result of the filing.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's current cash and marketable securities balances and
cash expected to be provided by future operations are its primary
sources of liquidity. The Company believes that these sources, along
with its borrowing capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth and
expansion.

In the quarters ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000
fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican peso caused an increase of
$71,000 and a decrease of $38,000 in stockholders' equity because of the
revaluation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican frozen beverage
subsidiary.

In November 2000, the Company acquired the assets of Uptown
Bakeries for cash. Uptown Bakeries, located in Bridgeport, NJ, is a
fresh bakery products manufacturer with approximately $17,000,000 in
annual sales.

Subsequent to September 29, 2001 and prior to the issuance of
these financial statements, the Company refinanced its general-purpose
bank credit line. The outstanding balance under this facility was
$23,000,000 at September 29, 2001. The new agreement provided for up to
a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility repayable in three years, with
the availability of repayments without penalty. The new agreement
contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in
accordance with standard banking practice.

In December 2001, the Company borrowed $5,000,000 on its general-
purpose bank credit line to pay off early its $5,000,000 7.25%
redeemable economic development revenue bond payable December 2005.

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $8,955,000 or 13% for the three months ended
December 29, 2001 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2000.
Excluding sales resulting from the acquisition of Uptown Bakeries,
sales increased approximately 9% compared to the year ago period.






12

SNACK FOODS

Sales to food service customers increased $5,902,000 or 21% in
the first quarter to $33,879,000. Excluding sales from acquisitions,
food service sales increased approximately 13% from last year. Soft
pretzel sales increased $1,465,000 or 10% from last year to $15,670,000
in this year's quarter due to sales of recently introduced PRETZEL
FILLERS. Excluding sales from the Uptown acquisition, soft pretzel
sales would have been up approximately 8% from a year ago. Italian ice
and frozen juice treat and dessert sales increased 18% to $5,046,000 in
the three months due to increased sales to school food service
customers. Churro sales to food service customers increased 1% to
$2,852,000 in the quarter. Cookie sales increased 40% to $5,194,000
from $3,704,000 last year due to increased distribution.

Sales of products to retail supermarkets decreased
$90,000 or 1% in the first quarter. Soft pretzel sales for the first
quarter were down 2% to $6,629,000. Sales of our flagship SUPERPRETZEL
brand soft pretzels decreased 2% in the first quarter. Sales of frozen
juices and ices increased $87,000 or 2% to $3,943,000 in the quarter.

Bakery sales decreased $209,000 or 3% to $7,246,000 in the first
quarter due to decreased unit sales to one customer. Sales of our
Bavarian Pretzel Bakery decreased $551,000 or 14% to $3,413,000
in the quarter from last year due to decreased mall traffic and the
closing of unprofitable stores.

All of the snack foods sales' increase and decreases were
primarily due to changes in unit volume.

FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased
$3,903,000 or 19% to $23,980,000 in the first quarter. Beverage sales
alone increased 4% to $17,918,000 and gross profit on beverage sales
increased 6%. Service and lease revenue increased $833,000 or 33% from
the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 and equipment sales increased from
$678,000 last year to $2,894,000 this year.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 46% in this
year's first quarter from 49% last year. The decrease in gross profit
percentage is due to the inclusion of Uptown Bakeries, which has a low
gross profit percentage

13
relative to the balance of the Company's business, for an entire quarter
and the increase in low margin Frozen Beverage equipment sales.

Total operating expenses increased $712,000 in the first quarter
but as a percentage of sales decreased to 45% from 49% in last year's
same quarter. Marketing expenses decreased to 32% of sales from 35% in
last year's quarter due to the inclusion of Uptown Bakeries, which had
no significant marketing expenses, the increase in Frozen Beverage
equipment sales and lower spending as a percent of sales in our food
service and retail supermarket businesses. Distribution expenses
decreased to 8% of sales this year from 9% last year due to the
inclusion of Uptown Bakeries, which has no distribution costs, for the
full quarter, Frozen Beverage equipment sales and lower fuel costs.
Administrative expenses as a percent of sales remained at 4% compared to
last year. Amortization of goodwill ceased as a result of the adoption
of SFAS 142 this year.

Operating income of $1,501,000 in this year's first quarter
compared to an operating loss of $438,000 in last year's quarter.

Interest expense decreased $504,000 from last year's quarter to
$282,000 this year due to decreased debt and lower interest rates.

The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 35% this year
compared to 37% in last year's quarter. The reduction is due to the
impact of the adoption of SFAS 142 and other factors.

Net earnings of $822,000 in this year's first quarter compared to
a net loss of $693,000 in the year ago period.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

of its sensitivity to market risk since its presentation set
forth, in item 7a. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk," in its 1998 annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC.
