             in  the first quarter due to the holiday shopping season.
             Sales  of  the Company's frozen carbonated beverages  and
             Italian  ice products are generally higher in  the  third
             and fourth quarters due to seasonal factors.
             
             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  27,
             1997.

Note 2       The  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  Statement  of
             Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings
             per  Share,"  which eliminates primary and fully  diluted
             earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and
             diluted  earnings  per  share  in  conjunction  with  the
             disclosure  of  the  methodology used in  computing  such
             earnings  per  share.  Basic earnings per share  excludes
             dilution and is computed by dividing income available  to
             common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares
             outstanding  during  the period.   Diluted  earnings  per
             share take into account the potential dilution that could
             occur  if  securities or other contracts to issue  common
             stock  were  exercised and converted into  common  stock.
             Earnings  per  share  calculations  for  1997  have  been
             restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128.

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

Note 5       To  fund  the  acquisition of National ICEE  Corporation  in
             December  1997, and to retire most of its debt, the  Company
             incurred the following debt:

             $40,000,000  unsecured term note, at  an  interest  rate  of
             6.61%   fixed  through  swap  agreements,  with  60  monthly
             principal  payments  of  $666,667  plus  interest  beginning
             January  8, 1998.  At June 27, 1998, $8,000,000 of the  note
             was  classified under current maturities of long-term  debt.
             At June 27, 1998, the balance on the note was $36,000,000.

             $10,000,000 borrowing under a $30,000,000 unsecured  general
             purpose  bank  line  of credit.  Interest  payments  on  the
             balance  borrowed  under  the line  are  made  monthly.  The

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's cash expected to be provided by future operations
and  its available lines of credit are its primary sources of  short-
term  liquidity.  The Company believes that these sources, along with
its  borrowing  capacity, are sufficient to fund  future  growth  and
expansion.

    In  the  nine months ended June 27, 1998, the devaluation of  the
Mexican  peso caused a reduction of $159,000 in stockholders'  equity
because of the revaluation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican
frozen carbonated beverage subsidiary.

    In  December  1997,  the Company acquired  the  common  stock  of
National  ICEE  Corporation, a marketer  and  distributor  of  frozen
carbonated  beverages  under  the tradename  ICEE,  with  approximate
annual  sales  of  $40,000,000.  As a result of the acquisition,  the
Company now has the rights to market and distribute frozen carbonated
beverages  under  the  name  ICEE to all of  the  continental  United
States, except for portions of eleven states.

    The  purchase price paid to the former shareholders  of  National
ICEE  Corporation was $9,000,000 in the form of cash.   Additionally,
the  Company  assumed approximately $44,000,000  of  debt,  of  which
approximately $42,000,000 was retired at closing.  The source of cash
utilized  to  retire the debt and to fund the purchase  price  was  a
$40,000,000  unsecured term loan and an unsecured revolving  line  of
credit with the Company's existing banks.

    In  January 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Mama  Tish?s
International  Foods for the assumption of some of  its  liabilities.
Mama  Tish is a manufacturer and distributor of Italian ices, sorbets
and  other  frozen juice products with annual sales of  approximately
$15 million.

    In November 1996, the Company acquired all of the common stock of
Pretzels, Inc. for cash. Trading as Texas Twist, Pretzels, Inc. is  a
soft pretzel manufacturer selling to both the food service and retail
supermarket  industries  with  annual  sales  of  approximately  $1.4
million.

    In  October 1996, the Company acquired the assets of Bakers  Best
Snack  Foods Corp. for cash.  Bakers Best is a manufacturer  of  soft
pretzels  selling  to  both the food service and  retail  supermarket
industries with annual sales of approximately $4 million.
    
    Available to the Company are unsecured general purpose bank lines
of  credit totaling $30,000,000.  Borrowings under the lines at  June
27, 1998 were $12,000,000.
    
                                   11
Results of Operations

    Net  sales  increased  $9,828,000 or 15% to $73,276,000  for  the
three months and $26,981,000 or 17% to $184,335,000 for the nine months
ended June 27,  1998 compared to the nine months ended June 28, 1997.
Excluding sales  of  acquired  businesses,  net sales  decreased  
approximately $400,000  or  less  than  1%  for  the  three  months  
and increased approximately $5,200,000 or 3% for the nine months.
                                    
    Sales to food service customers decreased $1,651,000 or 6% in the
third  quarter to $28,289,000 and were essentially unchanged for  the
nine  months. Excluding sales of acquired businesses, sales  to  food
service  customers  decreased $1,651,000 or 6% for  the  quarter  and
decreased  $1,132,000 or 1% for the nine months.  Soft pretzel  sales
to  the food service market increased 8% to $15,371,000 in the  third
quarter and 4% to $45,184,000 in the nine months. Increased sales  of
soft  pretzels  to  one customer in the third quarter  accounted  for
approximately 40% of the third quarter sales increase and 30% of  the
nine  month  sales increase.  Excluding sales of acquired businesses,
food  service soft pretzel sales increased $1,188,000 or  8%  in  the
third  quarter  and  increased $1,467,000 or 3%  in  the  nine  month
period.   Italian  ice  and  frozen juice  treat  and  dessert  sales
decreased  29%  to  $8,099,000  in  the  three  months  and  15%   to
$17,493,000  in the nine months.  Decreased sales to three  customers
during  the three months accounted for essentially all of  the  third
quarter and nine month sales decrease, respectively.  Excluding sales
of  an acquired business, the sales decrease was $3,264,000 or 29% in
the  third  quarter and $3,828,000 or 19% in the nine  month  period.
Churro sales to food service customers increased 7% to $3,017,000  in
the third quarter and 7% to $8,212,000 in the nine months.

    Sales of products to retail supermarkets decreased $660,000 or 6%
to $10,445,000 in the third quarter and 6% to $26,999,000 in the nine
months.  Excluding  sales  of acquired businesses,  sales  to  retail
supermarkets were down 6% in the quarter and 8% for the nine  months.
Soft  pretzel sales for the third quarter were down 3%  and  for  the
nine months were down 13% from last year to $4,766,000 and $16,423,000,
respectively.   SOFTSTIX sales increased $206,000 or 61% to $543,000 
in the third quarter and $111,000 or 7% in the nine months. Sales of 
the flagship SUPERPRETZEL brand soft pretzels, excluding SOFTSTIX and 
CINNAMON RAISIN, decreased 2% in the third  quarter  and  5%  for the 
nine months. Sales of Italian ice decreased  $615,000  or 10% to 
$5,264,000 in the  third  quarter and increased $223,000 or 2% to 
$9,272,000 in the nine months.   Sales were impacted by limited 
production output during the expansion and modernization of the 
Company's Italian ice and frozen dessert plant in Scranton, PA. 
Excluding sales of an acquired business,  Italian ice sales were down 
2% for the nine months.

    Frozen  carbonated beverage and related product  sales  increased
$11,876,000   or  85%  to  $25,915,000  in  the  third  quarter   and
$23,823,000  or 76% to $55,165,000 in the nine months.  Beverage  and
beverage cup and lid sales alone
    
                                   12



increased  87%  in the third quarter and 72% in the  nine  months  to
$23,341,000 and $48,655,000, respectively.  Excluding sales resulting
from the acquisition of National Icee Corporation in December 1997,  
frozen carbonated beverage and related product sales increased 
$1,719,000 or 12% in the third quarter from last year and $3,800,000 
or 12% in the nine months.
    
    Bakery  sales increased $97,000 or 2% to $5,644,000 in the  third
quarter and $4,218,000 or 35% to $16,389,000 in the first nine months
due to increased product sales to one customer.

    Sales  of  our Bavarian Pretzel Bakery increased 6% to $2,983,000
in  the  third  quarter and 9% to $836,000 in the nine month  period.
Excluding sales of an acquired business, sales were up 6% in the nine
months.

    Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 53% and 50% in
the  third  quarter and nine months, respectively, from  49%  in  the
corresponding  periods  last  period.  The  gross  profit  percentage
increases   are  primarily  attributable  to  higher   gross   profit
percentages  of the acquired National Icee Corporation  business  and
lower   flour   costs  offset  by  higher  manufacturing   costs   of
approximately $1,000,000 incurred during the startup of operations in
the  third  quarter at the Company's expanded Italian ice and  frozen
dessert plant in Scranton, PA.
    
    Total  operating  expenses  increased  $5,193,000  in  the  third
quarter  and  as a percentage of sales increased to 43% from  41%  in
last  year's  same  quarter. For the nine months, operating  expenses
increased $12,311,000 and as a percentage of sales were 45%  in  both
years' periods.  Marketing expenses increased to 29% of sales in this
year's third quarter from 28% last year and were 30% of sales in  the
nine   month  period  this  year  and  last.   Distribution  expenses
increased  to  9% of sales in this year's third quarter  from  8%  of
sales  last year and to 10% of sales in this year's nine month period
from  9%  in  the  year ago period.  The increases in  marketing  and
distribution  expenses as a percentage of sales were  due  to  higher
operating   expenses  of  the  acquired  National  Icee   Corporation
business.   Administration expenses decreased to 3% of sales  in  the
third  quarter from 4% in all other periods due primarily  to  higher
sales levels.
                                    
    Operating income increased $2,289,000 or 46% to $7,236,000 in the
third  quarter  and  $4,138,000 or 65% to  $10,485,000  in  the  nine
months.
                                    
    Investment  income decreased 7% in the third quarter and  22%  in
the nine months due to sharply lower levels of investable funds which
were  used  to  pay  for  acquisitions.  Interest  expense  increased
$837,000 and $1,827,000 in the quarter and nine months, respectively,
due  to  the  assumption and subsequent refinancing of  the  debt  of
National Icee Corporation.
    
    
                                   13
    


    Sundry  income increased by $1,028,000 in the third  quarter  and
$703,000  in  the  nine  months due to the successful  settlement  of
certain  litigation.  For the nine month period,  sundry  income  was
offset by $419,000 in write offs and reserves for the closing down of
unprofitable retail stores of our Bavarian Pretzel Bakery.

    The  effective income tax rate has been estimated at 37%  in  all
periods reported.

    Net  earnings  increased $1,558,000 or 49% in the  current  three
month period to $4,716,000 and $1,832,000 or 44% in the current  nine
month  period  to $6,007,000.  Excluding the impact of National  Icee
Corporation,  net earnings would have been approximately  $4,200,000,
or  33% higher than last year in the third quarter and $6,500,000  or
56% higher than last year for the nine month period.
