NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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 period 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 26, 2010 and June 27, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

While we believe 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 fiscal year ended September 26, 2009.

Note 2
We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or estimable and collectability is reasonably assured.  We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product.  Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective.  We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors.  The allowance for doubtful receivables was $626,000 and $623,000 at June 26, 2010 and September 26, 2009, respectively.
7


Note 3
Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years.
Note 4
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows:

The above compensation is net of tax  benefits
$ 81 $ 178 $ 198 $ 381

The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $1,000,000, net of tax benefits, or approximately $.05 per share for the fiscal year ending September 25, 2010.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2010 and 2009: expected volatility of 28% and 23%; risk-free interest rates of 2.14% and 2.70%; dividend rate of 1.2% and 1.2% and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years.

During the 2010 and 2009 nine month periods, the Company granted 100,330 and 4,500 stock options, respectively.  The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $9.11 and $7.13, respectively.  No options were granted in the third quarter of 2010 and 1,500 options were granted in the third quarter of 2009.

Expected volatility for both years is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 50 to 54 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options.  We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model.  The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

11


Note 7
We account for our income taxes under the liability method.  Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”).  We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.

On September 30, 2007, the first day of the 2008 fiscal year, we recognized a $925,000 decrease to opening retained earnings from the cumulative effect of recognizing a liability for uncertain tax positions. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $1,923,000 and $1,895,000 on June 26, 2010 and September 26, 2009, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized.  We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes.  As of June 26, 2010 and September 26, 2009, respectively, the Company has $818,000 and $742,000 of accrued interest and penalties.

In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

Note 8
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance expanding the definition of a business combination and requiring the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be determined on the acquisition date. The guidance also requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent considerations, and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. In addition, the guidance requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed in the period incurred and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period to impact income tax expense. The effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of any acquisitions consummated in fiscal year 2010 or later.
12


In August 2008, the FASB issued guidance that revises the factors that a company should consider to develop renewal or extension assumptions used in estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset.  The new guidance will apply to all intangible assets acquired after the guidance’s effective date.  The guidance also requires new disclosures for all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The underlying purpose of the guidance is to improve the consistency between the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of a recognized intangible asset and the useful life of an intangible asset. This guidance is effective for our 2010 fiscal year. The implementation of this guidance has had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance that amends the provisions in its guidance issued in December 2007 for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations.  This  revised guidance eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria, included in the December 2007 guidance and carries forward most of the provisions related to acquired contingencies in its June 2001 guidance.  This guidance is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. The effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of any acquired contingencies consummated in fiscal year 2010 or later.

Note 10
We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries.  We also distribute our products directly to the consumer through our chain of retail stores referred to as The Restaurant Group. Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business and restaurant group because of different distribution and capital requirements.  We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the four operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.

We have applied no aggregate criteria to any of these operating segments in order to determine reportable segments. Our four reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, The Restaurant Group and Frozen Beverages.  All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income (loss).  These segments are described below.

Food Service

The primary products sold to the food service group are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros and baked goods.  Our customers in the food service industry include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and discount stores; 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 food service industry, our products are purchased by the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale.

14


Retail Supermarkets

The primary products sold to the retail supermarket industry are soft pretzel products including SUPERPRETZEL, LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet, FRUIT-A-FREEZE frozen fruit bars and ICEE frozen novelties.  Within the retail supermarket industry, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.

The Restaurant Group

We sell direct to the consumer through our Restaurant Group, which operates BAVARIAN PRETZEL BAKERY and PRETZEL GOURMET, our chain of specialty snack food retail outlets.

Frozen Beverages

We sell frozen beverages and beverage machines to the food service industry, including our restaurant group, primarily under the names ICEE, SLUSH PUPPIE, PARROT ICE and ARCTIC BLAST in the United States, Mexico and Canada.  We also provide repair and maintenance service to customers for customers’ owned equipment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and The Restaurant Group and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment.  Sales is considered to be the one and only key variable monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Makers and management when determining each segment’s and the company’s financial condition and operating performance.  In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment.  Information regarding the operations in these four reportable segments is as follows:

Amortized intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses.  Intangible assets of $10,796,000 were acquired in the food service segment in the California Churros acquisition in the three months ended June 26, 2010.  Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended June 26, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was $1,149,000 and $1,127,000, respectively and for the nine months ended June 26, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was $3,394,000 and $3,381,000, respectively.

18

Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $4,800,000 in 2011, $4,400,000 in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and $4,300,000 in 2015. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.1 years.

Note 12
We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and auction market preferred stock (AMPS).  The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
19


We have concluded that the carrying value of certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value.  Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.  We had no holdings of AMPS at June 26, 2010 and September 26, 2009.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at June 26, 2010 are summarized as follows:

Proceeds from the sale and redemption of auction market preferred stock were $0 and $35,200,000 in the three and nine months ended June 27, 2009, respectively, with no gain or loss recorded.  We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.

Proceeds from the sale and redemption of marketable securities were $53,956,000 and $4,618,000 in the three and nine months ended June 26, 2010, respectively; and $3,355,000 and $6,430,000 in the three and nine months ended June 27, 2009, respectively, with no gain or loss recorded.  We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.

Note 13
In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores.  We expect revenues from Parrot Ice to be less than $2 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

On June 10, 2010 we acquired the assets of California Churros, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of premium brand churros selling its products under the brand CALIFORNIA CHURROS.  Headquartered and with its manufacturing facility in Colton, CA, California Churros, Inc. had annual sales of approximately $11 million in 2009.

These acquisitions were and will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and their operations are and will be included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current cash and cash equivalents balances and cash expected to be provided by future operations are our primary sources of liquidity.  We believe that these sources, along with our borrowing capacity and investment securities, are sufficient to fund future growth and expansion.  See Note 12 to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.1075 per share of its common stock payable on July 7, 2010 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2010.

In the three months ended December 26, 2009, we purchased and retired 153,703 shares of our common stock at a cost of $5,894,000 under a million share buyback authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2008 leaving 260,576 as the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the share buyback authorization.  We did not purchase any additional shares in the nine months ended June 26, 2010.  We purchased and retired 450,597 shares at a cost of $12,510,000 in our fiscal year ended September 26, 2009.  Of the shares purchased and retired in our fiscal year 2009, 400,000 shares were purchased at the purchase price of $27.90 per share from Gerald B. Shreiber, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company.

In the three months ended June 26, 2010 and June 27, 2009, fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused an increase of $98,000 and a decrease of $516,000, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  In the nine month periods, there was a decrease of $453,000 in fiscal year 2010 and an increase of $1,365,000 in fiscal year 2009.

In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores.  We expect revenues from Parrot Ice to be less than $2 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

23


In June 2010, we acquired the assets of California Churros, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand churro. California Churros had revenue of approximately $11 million in calendar year 2009.

Our general-purpose bank credit line which expires in December 2011 provides for up to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility.  The agreement contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard banking practice. There were no outstanding balances under this facility at June 26, 2010.

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $9,968,000 or 6% for the three months to $189,729,000 and $25,937,000 or 6% to $496,192,000 for the nine months ended June 26, 2010 compared to the three and nine months ended June 26, 2009.

Excluding sales from the acquisition of Parrot Ice in February 2010 and California Churros in June 2010, sales increased 5% for the three and nine months.

Approximately $3.0 million, or 30%, for the three months and $10.5 million, or 40%, for the nine months of the increased sales were sales of funnel cake fries to one customer, Burger King, which is carrying the product in virtually all of its domestic locations.  We are not able to provide an estimate of these sales going forward.

FOOD SERVICE

Sales to food service customers increased $3,106,000 or 3% in the third quarter to $112,469,000 and increased $12,046,000 or 4% for the nine months.  Excluding sales from the acquisition of California Churros, food service sales would have increased 2% for the quarter and 4% for the nine months.  Sales of funnel cake fries to Burger King accounted for over 97% of the food service sales increase in the quarter and 86% in the nine months.  Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 1% to $25,349,000 in the third quarter and increased 1% to $75,117,000 in the nine months. Italian ice and frozen juice treat and dessert sales decreased 3% to $15,949,000 in the three months and 7% to $33,320,000 in the nine months primarily as the result of lower sales to one contract packing customer in the quarter, and to school food service accounts and the contract packing customer in the nine months.  We expect these sales to be impacted for the balance of our fiscal year as our sales to school food service accounts continue to be impacted by nutritional concerns.  Churro sales to food service customers increased  7% to $8,035,000 in the third quarter and were down 1% to $21,955,000 in the nine months, with all of the decrease in the nine month period coming from sales to one customer who has lower sales due to normal menu fatigue.  Without sales from California Churros, churro sales for the quarter would have been essentially unchanged and down 4% for the nine months.

24


Sales of bakery products, excluding biscuit and dumpling sales and fruit and fig bar sales, increased $733,000 or 2% in the third quarter to $41,857,000 and increased $2,935,000 or 2% for the nine months due primarily to increased sales to private label customers. Biscuit and dumpling sales decreased 7% to $6,667,000 in the quarter and were up 2% to $25,365,000 for the nine months.

Sales of fig and fruit bars decreased 1% in the third quarter to $8,565,000 and decreased 1% in the nine months to $24,571,000 due primarily to lower sales to one customer who discontinued a particular product.  Funnel cake sales increased by $2,789,000 to $5,941,000 in the quarter and by $10,797,000 to $16,955,000 in the nine months primarily due to the sales to Burger King.

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $6.0 million in the June quarter and $21.8 million in the nine months.  Net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and sales resulting from the acquisition of California Churros, accounted for all but approximately $800,000 of the sales increases this year. Price increases accounted for the remaining $800,000, virtually all in the third quarter.

Operating income in our Food Service segment increased from $14,444,000 to $14,642,000 in the quarter and from $32,571,000 to $37,984,000 for the nine months primarily as a result of increased volume as discussed above for the quarter and nine months and lower ingredients and packaging costs of about $3 million for the nine months.  In the quarter, ingredients and packaging costs were about $1 million higher than a year ago.

25

RETAIL SUPERMARKETS

Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $3,003,000 or 14% to $23,942,000 in the third quarter and were up 16% to $51,670,000 in the first nine months.  Soft pretzel sales for the third quarter were down 5% to $7,176,000 and were up 2% to $23,079,000 for the nine months on a unit volume decrease of 7% for the quarter and an increase of 1% for the nine months.  Sales of frozen juices and ices increased $3,009,000 or 21% to $17,347,000   in the third quarter and were up 27% to $30,153,000 in the nine months on a unit volume increase of 16% in the quarter and 22% for the nine months.  Reduced trade spending of about $850,000 in the quarter and $1,150,000 in the nine months for the introduction of new frozen novelty items and a shift in product mix increased sales dollars in relation to the overall unit volume increases.  Coupon redemption costs, a reduction of sales, decreased 25% or about $255,000 for the quarter and were essentially unchanged in the nine months.  Sales of products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $1.2  million in the June quarter and $3.7 million in the nine months.  Net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and net of increased coupon costs and reduced trade spending for new product introductions, accounted for virtually all of the sales increases in the June quarter and in the nine months.  Operating income in our Retail Supermarkets segment increased from $2,330,000 to $3,809,000 in the quarter and from $4,419,000 to $7,467,000 in the nine months primarily as a result of volume increases and reduced trade spending for the introduction of new frozen novelty items.

THE RESTAURANT GROUP

Sales of our Restaurant Group decreased 35% to $170,000 in the third quarter and 30% to $709,000 for the nine month period.  The sales decreases were caused primarily by the closing of stores in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 and by lower sales in general.  Sales of stores open for both year’s nine months were down about 10% from last year.  Operating loss in our Restaurant Group segment decreased $19,000 in the June quarter and increased $12,000 in the nine months.

26


FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased 8% to $53,148,000 in the third quarter and increased $7,025,000 or 6% to $124,955,000 in the nine month period.  Excluding sales from the acquisition of Parrot Ice, sales would have increased 7% for the quarter and 5% for the nine months.  Beverage sales alone increased 12% to $38,812,000  in the third quarter and were up 12% to $86,435,000 in the nine months with increased sales to three customers accounting for approximately 47% of the increase in the quarter and 65% in the nine months.  Gallon sales were up 10% for the three months and up 8% for the nine months in our base ICEE business with sales to three customers accounting for all of the increase in the nine months and 80% of the increase for the quarter.  Service revenue decreased 6% to $10,490,000 in the third quarter and 5% to $30,058,000 for the nine months.  Sales of beverage machines, which tend to fluctuate from year to year while following no specific trend, were $466,000 higher this year than last in the three month period and for the nine months, sales of machines were lower by $1,169,000.  The estimated number of company owned frozen beverage dispensers was 38,100 and 35,700 at June 26, 2010 and September 26, 2009, respectively.  Operating income in our Frozen Beverage segment was essentially unchanged in the quarter and for the nine months, operating income increased $833,000.  Higher gasoline costs of approximately $281,000   and $826,000 impacted the June quarter and nine months, respectively.  We expect higher gasoline costs to impact operating income for at least the balance of our fiscal year.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 34.28% in the three month period from 33.95% last year and increased to 32.42% in the nine month period from 31.28% a year ago.  Lower ingredient and packaging costs compared to last year of approximately $3.5 million for the nine months and higher volumes were primarily responsible for the increased gross profit percentage in the nine months.  For the quarter, the benefit of higher volumes remained, although higher ingredient and packaging costs of about $1 million resulted in a lower increase in gross profit percentage than for the nine month period.  Ingredient and packaging costs can be extremely volatile and may be significantly different from what we are presently expecting and therefore we cannot project the impact of ingredient and packaging costs on our business going forward.

27


Total operating expenses increased $2,315,000 in the third quarter and as a percentage of sales increased .14 of a percentage point to 21% of sales from 20% last year.  For the first nine months, operating expenses increased $4,472,000 and were 22% of sales in both years.  Marketing expenses were 10% of sales in both years’ quarters and were at 11% for both years’ nine months.  Distribution expenses were 7% in both years’ third quarter and 8% in both years’ nine months.   Administrative expenses were 3% of sales in both years’ third quarter and 4% in both years’ nine months.

Operating income increased $1,682,000 or 7% to $26,062,000 in the third quarter and $9,282,000 or 22% to $52,373,000 in the nine months as a result of the aforementioned items.

Investment income decreased by $8,000 and $173,000 in the third quarter and nine months, respectively, due to a general decline in the level of interest rates.

The effective income tax rate increased .27 of one percent to 40% from 39% in the quarter and was estimated at 40% for both years’ nine months.

Net earnings increased $932,000 or 6% in the current three month period to $15,861,000 and increased 21% to $31,952,000 in the nine months this year from $26,492,000 last year as a result of the aforementioned items.

There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in the Company’s assessment of its sensitivity to market risk since its presentation set forth, in item 7a. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in its 2009 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

28


Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 26, 2010, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.
