TASTY BAKING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All amounts are in (000's)

1. Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------

Interim Financial Information
-----------------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the company as of June 28, 2003 and
December 28, 2002, the results of its operations for the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 and cash flows
for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002. These
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto in the company's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. In
addition, the results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six
weeks ended June 28, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Net Income Per Common Share
---------------------------
Net income per common share is presented as 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. Dilution is the result of outstanding
stock options.


Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
The company measures stock-based compensation in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and has
calculated the pro-forma impact of the fair-value method in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation." The calculated difference between the
reported and pro-forma net income amounts is not material for the
second quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002.

Pension Plan
------------
The company's funding policy for its pension plan is to contribute
amounts deductible for federal income tax purposes plus such
additional amounts, if any, as the company's actuarial consultants
advise to be appropriate. The company accrues normal periodic pension
expense or income during the year based upon certain assumptions and
estimates from its actuarial consultants in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 87. These estimates and
assumptions include discount rate, rate of return on plan assets,
compensation increases, mortality and employee turnover. In addition,
the rate of return on plan assets is directly related to changes in
the equity and credit markets, which can be very volatile. The use of
the above estimates and assumptions, market volatility and the
company's election to immediately recognize all gains and losses in
excess of its pension corridor in the current year may cause the
company to experience significant changes in its pension expense or
income from year to year. Expenses or income that fall outside the
corridor are recognized only in the fourth quarter.




6 of 12




2. Restructure Charges
-------------------

The company recognized a net restructure charge reversal of $95 in the
second quarter of 2003 and $220 in the first quarter of 2003. This
reversal resulted from favorable settlements of certain thrift store
lease contracts. These settlements relate to the restructure charges
taken during 2002 and 2001.

During the fourth quarter of 2002, the company incurred a $4,936
restructure charge related to the closing of twelve thrift stores
which represented the remaining company owned thrift stores. This
restructure charge also included specific arrangements made with
senior executives who departed the company in the fourth quarter of
2002. There were 29 employees terminated as a result of this
restructure, of which 25 were thrift store employees and 4 were
corporate executives.

During the second quarter of 2002, the company closed six thrift
stores and eliminated certain manufacturing and administrative
positions. There were 67 employees terminated as a result of this
restructure, of which 42 were temporary employees, 13 were thrift
store employees and 12 were corporate and administrative employees.
Costs related to these events were included in a restructure charge of
$1,405.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the company closed its Dutch Mill
plant in Wyckoff, New Jersey. In addition, the company closed two
thrift stores. Costs related to these events were included in a
restructure charge of $1,728.

TASTY BAKING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $390 or $.05 per diluted share
which included a $95 pre-tax restructure charge reversal due to the favorable
settlement of certain thrift store lease contracts. Net income for the second
quarter of 2002 was $879 or $.11 per diluted share. Included in the net income
for 2002 was a pre-tax restructure charge in the amount of $1,405.

Net income for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2003 was $872 or $.11 per
diluted share which included a $314 pre-tax restructure charge reversal due to
the favorable settlement of certain thrift store lease contracts. Net income for
the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2002 was $2,084 or $.25 per diluted share.
Included in the net income for 2002 was a pre-tax restructure charge in the
amount of $1,405.

Gross sales decreased by 4.1% in the second quarter of 2003 relative to the
comparable quarter in 2002. Gross sales in the core routes in the second quarter
of 2003 were equal to gross sales in the same period last year. During the
second quarter of 2003, price increases instituted on certain product lines were
offset by the effect of decreases in promotional spending, the discontinuation
of certain Classic Baked Goods varieties and an increase in the mix of products
sold at lower wholesale selling prices. Gross sales outside the core routes
decreased by 14% in the second quarter of 2003 versus 2002. Most of the decline
in the sales outside the core routes was related to the company's decision to
discontinue sales to certain west coast accounts that were deemed unprofitable.
The company continues to examine margins on all lines of business and is focused
on improving profitability.

In the second quarter of 2003, net sales decreased by 4.5% compared to the same
period last year. This decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in gross
sales. Discounts and allowances decreased by 3.4%. The difference between the
percentage change in discounts and allowances and gross sales was due to the
effect of the thrift store sales in 2002 partially offset by a favorable shift
in the sales markets toward our core routes in 2003. Cost of sales for the
second quarter of 2003 was equal to cost of sales for the same quarter in 2002.
As a percentage of gross sales, cost of sales increased to 42.8% in the second
quarter from 41.2% in the same quarter last year. Case volume sold in the second
quarter of 2003 was equal to the volume sold in the same period last year
although gross sales dollars decreased by 4.1%. The decrease in gross sales
dollars was due to an increase in the mix of products sold at lower wholesale
selling prices relative to the prior year's quarter. The 42.8% for the current
quarter represents a .7 percentage point improvement over the first quarter of
2003 because of price increases on certain products instituted in the last two
months of the second quarter of 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2003
increased by $240 or 2.2% compared to the second quarter of 2002. The increase
was primarily due to investment in personnel to fill key positions in the
company and increased marketing expenditures that offset the savings from the
fourth quarter closing of the company's thrift stores and the departure of
certain executives.

The effective tax rate was 33.8% for the quarter ended June 28, 2003 and 34.0%
for the quarter ended June 29, 2002, which compares to a federal statutory rate
of 34%. Differences between the effective rates and the statutory rate arise
from the effect of state income taxes.



8 of 12



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

The company has consistently demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient
cash flow from operations. Bank borrowings, under the company's credit facility,
are used to supplement cash flow from operations during periods of cyclical
shortages.

Net cash from operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2003
remained the same as the comparable period in 2002 despite a decrease in net
income and the timing of restructure payments. Certain favorable changes
resulted from working capital improvements by way of inventory utilization and
accounts receivable turnover. In addition, there was a reduction in cash
payments for income tax.

Net cash used for investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28,
2003 decreased by $986 relative to the same period in 2002 principally due to
lower capital expenditures.

Net cash used for financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28,
2003 increased by $1,267 relative to the comparable period in 2002, due to a
larger decrease in short-term debt and repayments of long-term debt in the
current year partially offset by a reduction of dividends paid in the current
year. The company reduced its quarterly dividend to $.05 per share in the first
quarter of 2003. The dividend had been $.12 per share since 1997.

For the remainder of 2003, the company anticipates that cash flow from
operations, along with the continued availability of credit under the credit
facility, will provide sufficient cash to meet operating and financing
requirements.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

Certain matters discussed in this Report, including those under the heading
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to the safe
harbor created by that Act. These forward-looking statements may include
comments about legal proceedings, competition within the baking industry,
availability and pricing of raw materials and capital, improvements in
efficiency expected from plant modernization programs, sales growth by
distribution through existing and other channels of distribution, the
Registrant's business strategies and other statements contained herein that are
not historical facts. Because such forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements which include changes in general economic or business conditions, the
availability of capital upon terms acceptable to the Registrant, the
availability and prices of raw materials, the level of demand for the
Registrant's products, the outcome of legal proceedings to which the Registrant
is or may become a party, the actions of competitors within the packaged food
industry, changes in consumer tastes or eating habits, the success of plant
modernization and business strategies implemented by the Registrant to meet
future challenges, and the ability to develop and market in a timely and
efficient manner new products which are accepted by consumers. The reader should
review "Management's Discussion and Analysis" in the company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002 for a more complete discussion of
other risk factors which may affect the company's financial position or
operating performance.


9 of 12




Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
---------------------------------------------------------

The company has certain floating rate debt notes. Under current market
conditions, the company believes that changes in interest rates would not have a
material impact on the financial statements of the company. The company also has
notes receivable from owner operators with rates that adjust every three years,
and, therefore, would partially offset the fluctuations in the company's
interest rates on its notes payable. The company also has the right to sell
these notes receivable, and could use these proceeds to liquidate a
corresponding amount of the notes payable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
------------------------

The company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to
provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of its consolidated financial
statements and other disclosures included in this report. The company
established a disclosure controls committee, which consists of certain members
of management. During the second quarter of 2003, the company hired a Director
of Internal Control and Analysis who has been actively involved in the
evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Within 90 days prior to
the date of filing of this report, the company carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of
the company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the
company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering,
analyzing and disclosing the information the company is required to disclose in
the reports it files pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no
significant changes in the company's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of this
evaluation.
