TOM’S FOODS INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 1.   BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORMATION AND ORGANIZATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Tom’s Foods Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the annual report and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have not been reviewed by an independent audit firm. The Company will submit these financial statements to a review once an audit firm has been selected to replace Arthur Andersen, the Company’s previous auditor.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday nearest to December 31. The current year, fiscal 2002, ends December 28, 2002 and contains 52 weeks. The Company’s first three quarters contain twelve-weeks of results while the fourth quarter contains 16 or 17 weeks coinciding with the Company’s fiscal year.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues for distributor sales are recognized when the goods are received by the distributor. Revenues for product sold through the Company’s internal distributor network are recognized when the goods are received by the retailer. Revenues for contract sales are recognized when the goods are picked up by the customer.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost for raw materials, packaging materials, and work in process. Finished goods cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost elements include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, and overhead incurred in the manufacturing process.

Hedging Transactions

The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for speculative purposes. The Company enters into various futures contracts and futures options to reduce the impact of volatility in raw material prices. Effective December 31, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” subsequently amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments.” SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 require the Company to recognize all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities and to measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the derivative fair values are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of a hedging derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. The Company links all hedges to forecast transactions and assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002
COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 16, 2001

Net sales for the second quarter ended June 15, 2002 were $52.1 million, an increase of 6.2%, or $3.1 million compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The sales figures for each quarter have been reduced as the result of a reclassification of certain promotional expenses from selling and administrative expenses in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus Issue 00-14 which the Company adopted during the first quarter of 2002. The reclassified amounts for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 were $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Gross profit increased to $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $1.2 million or 6.7%.

For the second quarter 2002, selling and administrative expenses increased to $16.3 million from $15.7 million in the 2001 period, an increase of 4.0% or $600,000. As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 31.3% in the second quarter of 2002 from to 32.0% in 2001.

Amortization expense decreased by $241,000 to $160,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 2001 due to the cessation of amortization of goodwill. This is discussed more fully below under new Accounting Pronouncements. Other Income was $73,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $196,000 for the corresponding period in 2001.

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2001, a decrease of $300,000 due primarily to the early retirement of the Company’s outstanding industrial development revenue bonds in the second half of 2001 and the fact that there is no longer interest expense recorded on the exchangeable portion of the Company’s Preferred A stock. All increases in the liquidation preference on the Company’s Preferred A stock are now recorded as dividends and are reflected solely within the equity section of the balance sheet.

Table of Contents

The provision for income taxes was $34,000 in 2002 compared to $36,000 for 2001. The Company estimates that it will have no material Federal tax obligations for the fiscal year due to loss carryforwards from prior years.

As a result of the favorable variances discussed above, the net income for the twelve week period ended June 15, 2002 increased by $1.0 million to $1.6 million compared to the net income of $578,000 for the same period in 2001.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of income (loss) before income taxes plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a widely accepted measure of a Company’s ability to incur and service debt, to undertake capital expenditures, and to meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative either to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an indicator of the Company’s liquidity. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2002 increased by 12.2% to $5.5 million, or 10.6% of net sales, compared to $4.9 million, or 10.0% of net sales, for the same period of 2001.

TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED JUNE 15, 2002
COMPARED TO THE TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED JUNE 16, 2001

Net sales for the twenty-four weeks ended June 15, 2002 were $101.0 million, an increase of 6.7%, or $6.3 million compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The sales figures for the twenty-four week periods have been reduced as a result of a reclassification of certain promotional expenses from selling and administrative expenses in accordance with the FASB EITF consensus Issue 00-14 which the Company adopted during the first quarter of 2002. The reclassified amounts for the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 and 2001 were $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Gross profit dollars for the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 increased $2.3 million to $37.3 million compared to $35.0 million for the same period in 2001.

For the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 selling and administrative expenses were $32.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 3.8%, from $31.2 million for the first twenty-four weeks of 2001. As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 32.1% for the first half of 2002 from 33.0% for 2001.

Amortization expense decreased by $476,000 to $319,000 for the first half of 2002 compared to 2001 due to the cessation of amortization of goodwill. This is discussed more fully below under new accounting pronouncements. Other income was $200,000 for the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 compared to $341,000 for the corresponding period in 2001.

In the first twenty-four weeks of 2001, the Company incurred a one-time non-recurring charge of $579,000 related to a planned staff reorganization. No such expense was incurred in 2002.

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased to $3.3 million in the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 from $3.9 million in the same period of 2001, a decrease of $600,000 due primarily to the early retirement of the Company’s outstanding industrial development revenue bonds in the

second half of 2001 and the fact that interest expense is no longer recorded on the exchangeable portion of the Company’s Preferred A stock. All increases in the liquidation preference on the Company’s Preferred A stock are now recorded as dividends and are reflected solely within the equity section of the balance sheet.

The provision for income taxes was $68,000 in 2002 compared to $71,000 for 2001. The Company estimates that it will have no material Federal tax obligations for the fiscal year due to loss carryforwards from the prior years.

As a result of the favorable variances discussed above, the net income before cumulative effect of accounting change for the twenty-four weeks ended June 15, 2002 increased by $2.7 million to $1.5 million of net income compared to the net loss of $1.2 million for the same period of 2001.

The Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” during the first quarter of 2002. SFAS No. 142 required the Company to conduct an impairment review of the carrying value of its goodwill. This review was recently completed, obliging the Company to amend its original first quarter 2002 Form 10-Q filing to record an impairment of the carrying value of its goodwill based upon an independent appraisal. The Company has recorded this non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $22.9 million as a cumulative effect of accounting change on its Statements of Operations with a corresponding reduction in goodwill, a long term asset on its Balance Sheet. The accounting change has no effect on cash flow. The appraisal also indicated market values for certain intangibles at levels significantly higher than their book values, but unfortunately, the relevant accounting standards do not allow the value of these intangibles to be written-up.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) represents the sum of income (loss) before income taxes plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a widely accepted measure of a Company’s ability to incur and service debt, to undertake capital expenditures, and to meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative either to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an indicator of the Company’s liquidity. EBITDA year-to-date through the second quarter of 2002 increased by 16.2% to $9.2 million, or 9.1% of net sales, compared to $7.9 million, or 8.4% of net sales, for the same period of 2001.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. The Company has met its liquidity needs through internally generated funds and a revolving line of credit established in January 2000 which matures in January 2004.

As of June 15, 2002, the Company had an outstanding revolving loan balance of $8.3 million, had letters of credit outstanding of $2.8 million and $4.4 million of borrowing availability thereunder. The Company’s working capital position of $4.4 million as of June 15, 2002 was a decrease of $9.9 million compared to the working capital position of $14.3 million as of June 16, 2001. The change is due primarily to the outstanding revolving loan balance of $8.3 million in 2002 versus an outstanding balance of $201,000 at the end of the same period in 2001.

Net cash used in operating activities was $975,000 for the twenty-four week period ended June 15, 2002 versus $2.3 million used during the same period in 2001.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $6.6 million in the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 from $1.8 million in 2001 due to the early timing of certain capital projects versus the prior year. Capital expenditures were made primarily for plant and facility improvements, distributor acquisitions, and information technology investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.7 million for the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 compared to $94,000 in the same period of 2001. Revolver borrowings were $5.3 million in 2002 compared to $201,000 in the same period of 2001.

New Accounting Pronouncements

As discussed earlier, in June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” effective July 1, 2001 and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning on December 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 prohibits pooling of interests accounting for acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001 and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the Company to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at June 30, 2001 for all periods after December 29, 2001 and any goodwill resulting from acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. SFAS No. 142 also establishes a new method of testing goodwill for impairment. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 were adopted by the Company for its fiscal year beginning on December 30, 2001. Early adoption of SFAS No. 142 was not permitted nor was retroactive application to prior period financial statements. The adoption of these accounting standards resulted in certain of the Company’s intangible assets being subsumed into goodwill. The Company recently completed its goodwill impairment testing, indicating a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $22.9 million. Accordingly, the Company has now amended its Form 10-Q filing for the first quarter of 2002 to record the goodwill impairment charge. Also, as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 30, 2001, goodwill and certain intangible assets will no longer be amortized and accordingly, the Company’s net income before the cumulative effect of accounting change has increased in fiscal 2002 as a result. The Company recorded $476,000 of amortization expense in the first twenty-four weeks of 2001 that was not recorded in the first twenty-four weeks of 2002 as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. It supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, and requires that discontinued operations be measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company has evaluated this statement and does not believe that its adoption has a material impact on the results of its operations or financial position.

As discussed in earlier filings, during 2000, FASB’s EITF added to its agenda various issues that impact the income statement classification of certain sales and marketing promotional payments. In May 2000, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-14, “Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives.” Issue 00-14 addresses the recognition and income statement classification of various sales incentives. Among its requirements, the consensus requires costs related to customer price reductions at the point of sale and other product promotions currently classified as

marketing costs to be classified as a reduction of revenue. In April 2001, the EITF delayed the effective date for this consensus until 2002. The impact of adopting this consensus for the quarters ended June 15, 2002, and June 16, 2001 reduced selling and administrative expenses and net sales by approximately $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. In April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-25, “Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products.” Issue 00-25 addresses the income statement classification of consideration, other than that directly addressed in Issue 00-14, from a vendor to a reseller or another party that purchases the vendor’s products. This consensus is effective for 2002 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
