|   | This Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers (the “Code”) applies to Senior Financial Officers of Hanover Foods Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  The term “Senior Financial Officer”, as used in this Code, means the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (i.e., the principal executive officer), Chief Financial Officer (i.e., the principal financial officer), Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and any other person performing similar functions. |
|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

|   | The Company reserves the right to amend, waive or alter the policies set forth in the Code at any time.  Any amendment to the Code or waiver or implicit waiver of any provision of the Code requires the approval of a majority of the Company’s non-management directors.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

|   | Unless the SEC rules and regulations otherwise provide, amendments to and waivers of any provision of the Code must be promptly disclosed in accordance with SEC regulations, including an explanation of why the waiver or implicit waiver was granted.  Unless the SEC rules and regulations otherwise provide, the term “waiver” means the Company’s approval of a material departure from a provision of the Code; and the term “implicit waiver” means the Company’s failure to take action within a reasonable period of time regarding a material departure from a provision of the Code that has been made known to the Company’s executive officer. |
