(4) Earnings (Loss) per Share
-----------------------------
Pursuant to SFAS No. 128, basic earnings (loss) per share are net earnings
(loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period, and diluted earnings per share are net earnings divided by the sum of
the weighted average plus an incremental number of shares attributable to
outstanding options (the incremental shares are not used in calculating a
diluted loss per share because that would reduce the loss per share), as
follows:

Swiss American Sausage Co. Meat Division
----------------------------------------

Sales by the processed meat division increased 52% in dollars and 50% in pounds
in the 1st six months of 2000 and increased 54% in dollars and 53% in pounds in
the 2nd quarter of 2000, compared to the same periods of 1999.  Sales in dollars
increased proportionately more than in pounds because of higher selling prices
reflecting higher meat costs.  During the 1st six months of last year, without
an operating plant, Swiss was purchasing processed products from other suppliers
to retain its customers, resulting in large operating losses offset by business
interruption insurance benefits.  This year Swiss's new meat plant is in full
operation, its sales have increased, and its operating losses have been reduced,
but the losses continue with no insurance benefits to offset them.  The
operating losses resulted from inefficiencies and transitional costs exacerbated
by increases in meat costs out-pacing increases in selling prices.

The inefficiencies result from the learning curve for new operators and new
equipment.  The transitional costs are diminishing or non-recurring expenses of
operating a new plant at a new location.  Swiss is successfully increasing
efficiency, reducing expenses, and increasing sales.  Swiss should reach the
efficiency of the old plant this year, and with the current sales volume and
stable meat costs, would operate profitably.  Increased sales, decreased
expenses and further efficiency increases are expected ensure Swiss's
profitability.

Royal-Angelus Macaroni Company Pasta Division
---------------------------------------------

The pasta division's sales decreased about 23% in dollars and 18% pounds in the
1st half of 2000 and decreased 26% in dollars and 17% in pounds in the 2nd
quarter of 2000, compared to the same periods of 1999.  Sales decreased because
of competition from increased industry capacity.  The percent decreases were
higher in dollars than in pounds, because of price reductions to meet
competition.  Royal's operating profits were down for the 1st half and 2nd
quarter of 2000 over those periods of 1999, because of lower sales and lower
margins.

The Company
-----------

Company sales were up 33% in the 1st half of 2000 compared to the 1st half of
1999 and were up 23% in the 2nd quarter of 2000 compared to the 2nd quarter of
1999. The Company realized a net loss of $620,693 for the 1st half of 2000
compared to net earnings of $473,765 a year ago and a net loss of $387,763 for
the 2nd quarter of 2000 compared to net earnings of $218,531 a year ago. Swiss
accounted for the increased sales but both divisions contributed to the reduced
profits.  The Company's gross margins for the 1st half and 2nd quarter of 2000
were 4.3% and 1.7%, respectively, compared to -2.6% and -4.8% a year ago. The
negative margins were caused by Swiss purchasing processed products for its
customers and selling them at a loss.  In the 1st half and 2nd quarter of this
year, Swiss margins were down substantially from its margins before the fire
because of increased meat costs and operating inefficiencies. Royal's margins
decreased significantly in the 1st half and slightly in the 2nd quarter from the
same periods of last year due to lower selling prices and sales decreasing
proportionately more than production costs.

General and administrative expense was up about $15,000 for the 1st half of 2000
but down about $17,000 in the 2nd quarter of 2000, compared to the same periods
in 1999. The increase was primarily from increased office expense, depreciation
and travel expense at Swiss, and the decrease from decreased health benefits,
promotional costs and outside services. Distribution expense was down about
$25,000 for the 1st half and $21,000 for the 2nd quarter because of decreased
salesman and advertising expense at Swiss.  Net interest expense increased about
$306,000 and $148,000 in the respective periods because of interest on the loans
to finance the new meat plant. Other income decreased because of the absence of
business interruption insurance proceeds recognized in the 1st half and 2nd
quarter of 1999.

Meat plant employees are represented by United Food and Commercial Workers
Union, Local 588, AFL-CIO, CLC under a collective bargaining agreement which
expires March 31, 2002. Pasta plant employees are represented by United Food and
Commercial Workers Union, Local 1428, AFL-CIO, CLC as the result of a September
1999 election, and negotiation of a collective bargaining agreement is in
progress. There has been no significant labor unrest at the Company's plants and
the Company believes it has a satisfactory relationship with its employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company has generally satisfied its normal working capital requirements with
funds derived from operations and borrowings under its $2,000,000 bank line of
credit as part of a credit facility with Comerica Bank-California. At June 30,
2000, the Company had $2,000,000 of borrowings under the bank line of credit.
The line is payable on demand, is subject to annual review, and bears interest
at a variable annual rate, at the Company's option, of either 1.75% over the
bank's cost of funds or 0.25% under its "Base Rate." the "Base Rate" was 9.5%
per annum at June 30, 2000. Effective the 3rd quarter of 2000, the amount of the
line of credit will be 30% of inventories plus 80% of receivables, determined
monthly, and the interest rate will be increased 0.25% per annum. At June 30,
2000, 30% of inventories plus 80% of receivables was $2,674,562.

                                      -6-

As part of the credit facility, Comerica issued a $4,060,000 letter of credit to
support $4,000,000 of industrial development bonds issued in 1998 for costs
relating to the construction of the Company's new meat plant. The bonds bear a
variable rate of interest payable monthly and set weekly at a market rate -4.55%
per annum at June 30, 2000. The Company pays a 1.5% per annum fee on the amount
of the letter of credit and fees of the bond trustee estimated at 0.5% of the
bond principal per year. Monthly payments of bond principal began May 1, 2000,
total $76,700 the first year and increase about 5.6% each year until May 1,
2022, when $813,500 of remaining principal is payable in 18 equal monthly
payments.

Also as part of the credit facility, the bank made four loans to the Company in
1999 for the new meat plant, a $1,280,000 real estate loan and three equipment
loans totalling $2,614,788. The real estate loan was made in December 1999,
bears a fixed rate of interest of 9.1% per annum and is payable in equal monthly
payments of principal and interest over its 25 year term. Each equipment loan
bears a variable rate of interest and is payable in equal monthly payments of
principal plus interest over its term, with issue date, initial amount, term and
rate as follows: July 1999, $1,000,000, 7 year, bank's "Base Rate"; September
1999, $1,200,000, 7 year, bank's "Base Rate" plus 0.25%; and December 1999,
$414,788, 5 year, bank's "Base Rate" plus 0.75%.

All parts of the credit facility are secured by substantially all of the
Company's assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and
fixtures, the Company's two Chino buildings and the new meat plant, none of
which is otherwise encumbered. The credit facility, as amended in the 2nd
quarter of 2000, prohibits mergers, acquisitions, disposal of assets, borrowing,
granting security interests, and changes of management and requires a tangible
net worth greater than $9,500,000, a debt to tangible net worth ratio less than
2, a quick ratio greater than 0.40 and, beginning January 1, 2001, cash flow
coverage greater than 1.30. The Company was not in default under any of the
convenants at June 30, 2000.

Cash decreased $784,669 in the 1st half of 2000 compared to a decrease of $4,023
in the 1st half of 1999. Operating activities provided $189,849 of cash
primarily from depreciation, a decrease in accounts receivable and increases in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by the loss and increases in
inventories and income taxes receivable. Investing activities used $649,798 of
cash for additions to property and equipment, primarily Swiss's new plant.
Financing activities used $324,720 of cash from payments on long term debt and
dividends, offset by proceeds from the sale of stock.

The Company believes that its operations and bank line of credit will provide
adequate working capital to satisfy the normal needs of its operations for the
forseeable future, including cash flow to service the debt incurred to finance
the new meat plant.

New Accounting Standards
------------------------

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
in June 1998. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, is effective
for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Securities and Exchange

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" in December 1999. SAB No. 101, as amended
by SAB No. 101A, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after March 15,
2000. Application of these standards, in the opinion of management, will not
have a material effect on the information presented.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The industrial development bonds, the bank line of credit, and the $2,614,788 of
equipment loans bear variable rates of interest (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources under Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations) which tend to follow market interest rates
and increase the interest expense to the Company if interest rates increase. A
1% per annum increase in the rate borne by the industrial development bonds
would increase annual interest expense by almost $40,000. Assuming an average
bank line of credit balance of $2,000,000 plus the $2,614,000 of equipment
loans, a 1% per annum increase in the rate borne by those borrowings would
increase annual interest expense by almost $46,000.
