              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            WHITEFORD PARTNERS, L.P.

                               September 30, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A -  ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND ACQUISITIONS

Whiteford Partners,  L.P., (the Partnership),  formerly Granada Foods, L.P., was
formed on June 30,  1987,  as a Delaware  limited  partnership.  Prior to May 4,
1992,  the  Partnership  consisted  of a  General  Partner,  Granada  Management
Corporation,  (Granada),  and the  Limited  Partners.  On May 4,  1992,  Granada
assigned its sole general  partner  interest in the Partnership to Gannon Group,
Inc. and the Partnership was renamed Whiteford Partners, L.P.

The operational  objectives of the Partnership are to own and operate businesses
engaged in the development,  production, processing, marketing, distribution and
sale of food and related products (Food Businesses) for the purpose of providing
quarterly  cash   distributions   to  the  partners  while   providing   capital
appreciation  through  the  potential  appreciation  of the  Partnership's  Food
Businesses.  The Partnership expects to operate for twenty years from inception,
or for such shorter  period as the General  Partner may determine is in the best
interest of the  Partnership,  or for such shorter  period as  determined by the
majority of the Limited Partners. The Partnership currently operates in the Food
Business Segment only.

The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  that a maximum of 7,500,000  Class A, $10
partnership  units can be issued to Limited Partners.  Generally,  Class A units
have a preference  as to cumulative  quarterly  cash  distributions  of $.25 per
unit. The sharing of income and loss from the  Partnership  operations is 99% to
the  Class  A  and  1%  to  the  General  Partner.   Amounts  and  frequency  of
distributions are determinable by the General Partner.

At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 the  Partnership had 1,306,890 Class
A limited partnership units issued and outstanding.

The Partnership records  distributions of income and/or return of capital to the
General Partner and Limited Partners when paid.  Special transfers of equity, as
determined  by the  General  Partner,  from the  General  Partner to the Limited
Partners are recorded in the period of determinations.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the  instructions of Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information
and  footnotes  for a  fair  presentation  of  financial  position,  results  of
operations  and cash flows in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  While the Partnership  believes that the disclosures  presented are
adequate to make the  information  not  misleading,  it is suggested  that these
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements and notes in the  Partnership's  most recent annual report
for the year ended December 31, 1999. A summary of the Partnership's significant
accounting  policies is presented on page F-5 of the  Partnership's  most recent
annual report.  There have been no material  changes in the accounting  policies
followed by the Partnership during 2000.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited information includes all adjustments
(consisting of normal  accruals) which are necessary for a fair  presentation of
the condensed  consolidated  financial  position of the Partnership at September
30, 2000 and the condensed  consolidated results of its operations for the three
and  nine  months  ending   September  30,  2000  and  1999  and  the  condensed
consolidated  cash flows for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 and 1999.
Operating  results for the period ended  September 30, 2000, are not necessarily
indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the entire  year  ending
December 31, 2000.

NOTE B - Income Taxes

The Partnership files an information tax return, the items of income and expense
being  allocated  to the  partners  pursuant  to the  terms  of the  Partnership
Agreement.  Income taxes applicable to the  Partnership's  results of operations
are the responsibility of the individual partners and have not been provided for
in the accounts of the Partnership.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The Statements contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report are not
historical  facts but are  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These  forwarding-looking  statements are based on current
expectations,  estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which
the  Partnership   operates,   management's  beliefs  and  assumptions  made  by
management.  Words such as "expects,"  "intends," "plans," "seeks," "estimates,"
and  variations of such words and similar  expressions  are intended to identify
such  forward-looking   statements.  Such  forward-looking  statements  are  not
guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties.

Therefore,  actual  outcomes  and  results  may differ  materially  from what is
expressed or  suggested  by such  forward-looking  statements.  The  Partnership
undertakes  no  obligation to update  publicly and  forward-looking  statements,
whether  as a  result  of new  information,  future  events  or  otherwise.  The
Partnership's operating results depend primarily on income from the sale of meat
products,  which may be  affected  by  various  factors,  including  changes  in
national  and  local  economic   conditions,   competitive   market  conditions,
uncertainties  and costs related to and the  imposition of conditions on receipt
of  governmental  approvals  and costs of material  and labor,  all of which may
cause actual results to differ materially from what is expressed herein. Capital
and credit market  conditions,  which affect the Partnership's  cost of capital,
also influence operating results.

Management's  discussion  and  analysis  set  forth  below  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Three months ended  September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months ended  September
30, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 were  $9,246,873  versus
$12,485,474 for the comparable  period in 1999, a decrease of 25.9%.  During the
2000 period 9,188,036 pounds of meat products were sold versus 12,958,868 pounds
during the 1999 period. The decrease in sales of meat products sold is primarily
attributable to a reduction in orders by customers. In response to this decline,
the Company  analyzed its operations and reduced costs,  including  overhead and
administration.  This  positions  the Company with its future  expected  revenue
stream.

Costs of meat products  sold for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 were
$8,292,446  versus  $11,447,683  for the comparable  period ended  September 30,
1999, a decrease of 27.6%.  The decrease in the costs is primarily  attributable
to a decline in pounds produced and sold.

Gross margins on sales were 10.3% for the three months ended  September 30, 2000
and 8.3% for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The increase in gross  margins is
attributable to the semi-variable  nature of certain costs of meat products sold
such as labor, packaging and utilities.

Selling and  administrative  expenses  were  $408,015 for the 2000 period versus
$510,250 for the 1999 period.  Selling and administration  expenses  represented
4.4% of revenue  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 4.1% the
period ended September 30, 1999.

Depreciation and  amortization  expense for the three months ended September 30,
2000 was $330,139  versus  $327,533 for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
0.8%.

Interest  expense for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 was $185,561
versus  interest  expense of $168,575 for the same period in 1999. This increase
of $16,986 primarily relates to the average debt balance  outstanding and higher
interest rates.

A net income of $30,712 was  realized in the 2000 period  compared to net income
of $31,433 in the comparable period in 1999.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months ended September 30,
1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 were  $33,599,803  versus
$40,469,816 for the comparable  period in 1999, a decrease of 17.0%.  During the
2000 period  33,128,282  pounds of meat  products  were sold  versus  43,889,548
pounds  during the 1999 period.  The decrease in sales of meat  products sold is
primarily  attributable  to a reduction in orders by  customers.  In response to
this decline,  the Company analyzed its operations and reduced costs,  including
overhead and administration. This positions the Company with its future expected
revenue stream.

Costs of meat  products  sold for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 were
$31,015,724  versus  $38,253,622  for the comparable  period ended September 30,
1999, a decrease of 18.9%.  The decrease in the costs is primarily  attributable
to a decline in pounds produced and sold.

Gross  margins on sales were 7.7% for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000
and 5.5% for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The increase in gross  margins is
attributable to the semi-variable  nature of certain costs of meat products sold
such as labor, packaging and utilities.

Selling and  administrative  expenses were $1,280,254 for the 2000 period versus
$1,785,138 for the 1999 period. Selling and administration  expenses represented
3.8% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 4.4% the period
ended September 30, 1999.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was $985,687  versus  $970,894 for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
1.5%.

Interest  expense  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 was  $535,637
versus  interest  expense of $485,453 for the same period in 1999. This increase
of $50,184 primarily relates to the average debt balance  outstanding and higher
interest rates.

A net loss of $217,499 was  realized in the 2000 period  compared to net loss of
$1,025,291 in the comparable period in 1999.

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

At September 30, 2000 the Partnership had a negative working capital of $125,182
versus a negative working capital of $1,372,016 at December 31, 1999.

Cash provided by operating  activities was $1,615,042 in 2000 versus $764,348 in
the 1999 period.

Cash used in investing  activities  was $145,930 in 2000 as compared to $774,419
in 1999.

The Partnership used $1,449,360 from financing  activities  during 2000. For the
comparable period in 1999, the Partnership used $106,510.

Whiteford's working capital and equipment  requirements are primarily met by (a)
a revolving credit  agreement with  Whiteford's  principal lender in the maximum
amount of $2,500,000 (with $1,506,000  outstanding at September 30, 2000),  (the
"Principal  Revolver");  (b)  a  term  credit  facility  of  $3,177,804,   (with
$3,166,807  outstanding at September 30,  2000)(the " Term A Loan");  (c) a term
credit facility of $574,605,  (with $549,242  outstanding at September 30, 2000)
(the " Term B  Loan");  and (d) a term  credit  facility  of  $1,000,000,  (with
$1,000,000   outstanding   at   September   30,   2000)  (the  "Term  C  Loan"),
(collectively,  the "Loans").  During 2000, the  Partnership  amended its Credit
Agreement with the Bank. In September 2000, the Principal Revolver was decreased
from $3,500,000 to $2,500,000 with a maturity of January 31, 2001 and a new Tern
C Loan of $1,000,000 was received..

The Principal  Revolver bears an interest rate of prime plus 2%. The Term A Loan
bears an interest  rate of prime plus 1%. The Term B Loan bears  interest of the
Euro-Rate  plus 3%. The Term C Loan bears an interest rate of prime plus 2%. The
Loans require the Partnership to meet certain  financial  covenants and restrict
the ability of the Partnership to make distributions to Limited Partners without
the consent of the  principal  lender.  The Loans are secured by real  property,
fixed assets, equipment, inventory, receivables and intangibles of Whiteford's.

                                     8 of 10
<PAGE>
The Partnership's  2000 capital budget calls for the expenditure of $200,000 for
building,  plant and equipment modifications and additions.  The General Partner
believes  Whiteford's is in compliance  with  environmental  protection laws and
regulations,  and does not anticipate making additional capital expenditures for
such  compliance  in 2000.  Such amounts are expected to be funded by internally
generated  cash  flow.  The  General  Partner  believes  that the  above  credit
facilities  along with cash flow from  operations will be sufficient to meet the
Partnership's working capital and credit requirements for 2000.

The nature of the Partnership's  business activities (primarily meat processing)
are  such  that  should  annual  inflation  rates  increase  materially  in  the
foreseeable  future,  the  Partnership  would  experience  increased  costs  for
personnel and raw materials;  however, it is believed that increased costs could
substantially be passed on in the sales price of its products.


Customer Issue
--------------

The  Partnership  has been advised by one of its major  customers,  representing
approximately  $l4,000,000 of budgeted revenue for 2000, that commencing on July
9,  2000,  such  customer  will  no  longer  purchase  meat  products  from  the
Partnership. The customer, as the result of a reorganization of its distribution
system  necessitated  by  the  bankruptcy  of a  third  party  distributor,  has
eliminated  Whiteford's as one of its suppliers.  The Partnership  anticipates a
substantial  decline in meat  revenues and cost of sales  subsequent  to July 9,
2000. The Partnership has developed a plan to transition to a lower volume level
and does not  anticipate  that the loss of such  business  will have a  material
adverse impact on the operations of the Partnership.

Market Risk
-----------

There have been no significant changes in market risk since December 31, 1999.
