4.  Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
     and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
     the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period.  Actual results may vary from those
     estimates.

5.  Investments in and Receivables from Unconsolidated Affiliates.
     The Company accounts for its investments in its unconsolidated affiliates
     using the equity method.  The Company's share of earnings from these
     affiliates totaled $3,019,000 and $930,573 respectively for the 13 weeks
     ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999 and $5,803,000 and $1,943,573
     respectively for the 26 weeks ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999.

6.  Certain prior year amounts have been re-classified for consistency with

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
September 30, 2000

Financial Condition

Some improvement in market prices and continued favorable feed grain prices
enabled the company to return to a profitable position during the quarter ended
September 30, 2000.  Continuing capital spending toward completion of the new
Perry Processing facility and the Rockmart, Ga. Feed Mill created a negative
cash flow which required additional funding from the company's $40,000,000
Revolving Credit facility.  As of September 30, 2000, $29,000,000 had been
drawn against this facility.

The Company has requested and closed subsequent to the period end a temporary
expansion of the Revolving Credit facility to $60,000,000.

Results of Operations

Sales for the 13 week and 26 week ended September 30, 2000 were 12.6% and 16.3%
lower respectively when compared to the comparable periods of a year ago.  The
lower revenue is attributable to lower market prices, primarily boneless
skinless breast meat prices which averaged 11.0% and 15.0% lower respectively
for the 13 week and 26 week respectively when compared to the comparable period
of a year ago.  The lower prices for white meat was off-set slightly by higher
dark meat prices for the same periods.

Another important fact affecting total revenue is reduced requirement to
purchase outside product for further processing due to the availability of
product that had been dedicated with the final increment available during the
quarter.  These outside purchases were 47.7% and 53.7% for the quarter and six
month periods as compared to the same period of a year ago. This represents
$5,419,000 and $14,030,000 less outside purchase respectively as compared to the
corresponding periods of a year ago and is believed to have had a corresponding
effect on revenues as this product represent sales over and above production
from the integrated operations.

Gross margins were 7.5% and 8.2% lower respectively from year ago as a result of
the lower pricing.  Cost remained relatively stable over the same period.


Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses

As a total category these expenses are slightly lower than for the comparable
periods of a year ago with the primary reduction realized in outside storage
expense.  There was some increase in professional fees (legal) associated with
on-going litigation as compared to the same periods of a year ago.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the 13 week period and 26 week period ended September 30,
2000 was virtually the same as for the same periods of a year ago.

Other Income

Other income increased by 218.6% for the 13 week period ended September 30,
2000 compared to the 13 week period ended October 2, 1999 and by 193% for the
26 week period ended as of the same dates.  This change represents an increase
in the company's share of earnings in unconsolidated affiliates.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects the taxes due at statutory rates
adjusted for available tax credit to which the company is entitled.
