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 and nine months
ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 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 recognizes revenue from snack food and frozen
beverage products at the time the products are shipped to third
parties. When the Company performs services under its service
contracts for frozen beverage dispenser machines, revenue is
recognized upon the completion of the services on specified
machines.

Note 3 Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the
straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives.

Note 4 The Company's calculation of earnings per share in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," is as follows:

Note 6 Using the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 131, the Company has
three reportable segments: Snack Foods, Restaurant Group and
Frozen Beverages. These segments are described below. The
segments are managed as strategic business units due in part,
but not limited to, their distinct production processes and
capital requirements.

Snack Foods

The primary products sold to the snack foods group are soft
pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros and bakery
products. The Company's customers in the snack foods group
include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and
discount stores, retail supermarkets, malls and shopping
centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and sports arenas; leisure
and theme parks; convenience stores; movie theatres; warehouse
club stores; schools, colleges and other institutions. Within
the snack foods group, the Company's products are purchased by
the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale and
at home.

Restaurant Group

The Company sells direct to the public through its restaurant
group, which operates BAVARIAN PRETZEL BAKERY and PRETZEL
GOURMET, our chain of specialty snack food retail outlets.

Frozen Beverages

The Company markets frozen beverages to the foodservice
industry primarily under the names ICEE and ARCTIC BLAST in the
United States, Mexico and Canada.

The Company evaluates each segment's performance based on
operating income, excluding corporate and other unallocated
expenses. Information regarding the operations in these
reportable segments is as follows:

(1) 2001 depreciation and amortization excludes
amortization expense associated with goodwill.

Note 7 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.




11
The Company's three reporting units, which are also reportable
segments, are Snack Foods, Restaurant Group and Frozen
Beverages. Each of the 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 June 29, 2002 are as follows:

Gross Carrying Accumulated
Amount Amortization
(in thousands)

Snack Foods

Amortized intangible assets
Licenses and rights $2,066 $547

Restaurant Group

Amortized Intangible Assets
Licenses and rights $ 20 $ 18

Frozen Beverages

Amortized intangible assets
Licenses and rights $ 201 $105

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 and nine
months ended June 29, 2002. 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 three
months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was $78,000 and $109,000,
respectively and for the nine months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30,
2001 was $231,000 and $158,000, 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.

Goodwill

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


12
Snack Restaurant Frozen
Foods Group Beverages Total
(in thousands)

Balance at June 29, 2002 $14,241 $438 $31,171 $45,850

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the
three and nine months ended June 29, 2002.

The Company has completed documentation of its transitional
goodwill impairment tests and has not recorded any transitional goodwill
impairment loss as a result of its adoption of SFAS 142.

Reported net income for the three and nine months ended June 29,
2002 and June 30, 2001, exclusive of amortization expense that is
related to goodwill that is no longer being amortized, would have been:

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 three months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001,
fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican peso caused a decrease of
$235,000 and an increase of $86,000, respectively, in stockholders'
equity because of the revaluation of the net assets of the Company's
Mexican frozen beverage subsidiary. In the nine month periods, there
was a decrease of $126,000 in fiscal year 2002 and an increase of
$80,000 in fiscal year 2001.

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.

In December 2001, the Company refinanced its general-purpose bank
credit line. The new agreement provides for 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. The outstanding balance under the new facility was
$6,000,000 at June 29, 2002.

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 $8,591,000 or 9% for the three months and
$24,805,000 or 10% to $272,652,000 for the nine months ended June 29,
2002 compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2001. Excluding sales
resulting from the acquisition of Uptown Bakeries, sales increased
approximately 9% for the nine month period compared to a year ago.



14
SNACK FOODS

Sales to foodservice customers increased $3,328,000 or 7% in the
third quarter to $51,074,000 and increased
$12,397,000 or 10% for the nine months. Excluding sales resulting from
acquisitions, sales would have increased 8% for the nine months. Soft
pretzel sales to the foodservice market increased 13% to $16,516,000 in
the third quarter and 10% to $49,434,000 in the nine months due
primarily to increased sales of PRETZEL FILLERS and GOURMET TWISTS.
Excluding sales resulting from acquisitions, foodservice soft pretzel
sales would have increased 9% in the nine month period. Sales of bakery
products increased $704,000 or 5% in the third quarter to $16,164,000
and increased $6,233,000 or 15% for the nine months due to increased
unit sales across our customer base and the acquisition of Uptown
Bakeries. Frozen juice bars and ices sales increased 5% to $13,087,000
in the three months and increased 7% to $24,694,000 in the nine month
period. Churro sales to foodservice customers increased 9% to
$3,346,000 in the third quarter and 6% to $9,320,000 in the nine months.

Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased
$2,582,000 or 14% to $21,328,000 in the third quarter and 9% to
$48,108,000 in the nine months. Soft pretzel sales of $5,765,000 for
the quarter and $20,749,000 for the nine months were essentially
unchanged from the year ago periods. Sales of our flagship SUPERPRETZEL
brand soft pretzels increased less than 1% for both periods. Sales of
frozen juices and ices increased $2,562,000 or 19% to $15,853,000 in the
third quarter and $4,086,000 or 17% to $27,531,000 in the nine months
primarily due to new product introductions and increased consumer
demand.

The increases in sales throughout the SNACK FOODS segment were
primarily the result of changes in unit volume.

THE RESTAURANT GROUP

Sales of our Restaurant Group decreased 11% to $2,379,000 in the
third quarter and 12% to $8,319,000 for the nine month period. The
sales decreases were caused primarily by decreased mall traffic and the
closing of unprofitable stores.

FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased $2,988,000
or 9% to $34,780,000 in the third quarter and $9,431,000 or 13% to
$81,323,000 in the nine months. Beverage sales alone decreased 1%
to $27,497,000 in the

15

third quarter and increased 3% to $62,606,000 for the nine months.
Service revenue increased 89% to $4,808,000 in the third quarter and 78%
to $11,080,000 in the nine months.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 41% and 38% in
the current year's three and nine month periods, respectively, from 39%
and 37% in the corresponding periods last year primarily due to
efficiencies resulting from higher volume.

Total operating expenses increased $3,724,000 in the third quarter
and as a percentage of sales increased to 31% from 30% in last year's
same quarter. For the nine months, operating expenses increased
$5,602,000 and as a percentage of sales decreased to 32% from 33% last
year. Marketing expenses increased to 21% of sales in the third quarter
from 20% last year and were 21% of sales in both years' nine month
periods. The increase in marketing expenses as a percentage of sales was
primarily caused by increased trade spending for sales of products to
retail supermarkets. Distribution expenses decreased less than 1/4 of 1
percent of sales in the third quarter to 6% of sales and decreased about
1/2 of 1 percent of sales to 7% in the nine months. Administrative
expenses as a percent of sales were 3% for the third quarter in both
years and 4% for the nine months in both years.

Operating income increased $1,938,000 or 20% to $11,605,000 in the
third quarter and $6,085,000 or 57% to $16,727,000 in the nine months.

For the three and nine months, interest expense decreased $669,000
and $1,967,000, respectively, due to reduced debt and lower levels of
interest rates.

The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 35% for this
years' periods and 37% for 2001 periods.

Net earnings increased $1,740,000 or 30% in the three month period
to $7,518,000 and increased $5,224,000 or 96% in the nine months to
$10,676,000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in the Company's assessment
