(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Registrant
         included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Although certain information normally included in financial statements
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         has been omitted, the Registrant believes that the disclosures are
         adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

         The Corporation's fiscal year ends at the close of operations on the
         Sunday nearest to May 31. Accordingly, these financial statements
         reflect activity for the thirteen week periods ended August 29, 1999
         and August 30, 1998.

         These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
         thereto included in Form 10-K for the Corporation's fiscal year ended
         May 30, 1999.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect
         all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which,
         in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement
         of the results of the interim period.

         The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
         trends or results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

(2)      SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         The Corporation and its subsidiaries maintain short-term unsecured
         lines of credit with various banks providing credit availability
         amounting to $65.0 million, of which $43,293,000 was borrowed at August
         29, 1999. The average cost of funds during the period ended August 29,
         1999 was 5.65%.

(7)      CONTINGENCIES

         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         1995 WAREHIME FAMILY LITIGATION

         On February 1, 1995, Michael A. Warehime, J. William Warehime and
         Elizabeth W. Stick, three Class B shareholders of the Corporation,
         filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of York County,
         Pennsylvania against the Corporation and John A. Warehime (Chairman of
         the Corporation), in his capacity as voting trustee of two voting
         trusts entitling him to vote approximately 52% of the Class B common
         stock. The Court has dismissed various claims and parties in the
         lawsuit and the only remaining parties are Michael A. Warehime as
         plaintiff and John A. Warehime as defendant. The only remaining claims
         are: (i) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty based on exercise of
         powers beyond those granted by certain voting trust agreements, (ii) a
         claim for breach of fiduciary duty for use of the voting trusts in a
         manner harmful to their beneficiaries, (iii) a count requesting removal
         of John A. Warehime as the voting trustee of the voting trusts.

         DERIVATIVE ACTION

         On September 13, 1996, certain Class A common stockholders filed a
         complaint in equity against six of the Corporation's directors and the
         estate of a former director in the Court of Common Pleas of York
         County, Pennsylvania (the complaint). The suit also names the
         Corporation as a nominal defendant. The suit sought various forms of
         relief including, but not limited to, rescission of the board's April
         28, 1995 approval of John A. Warehime's 1995 Employment Agreement and
         the board's February 10, 1995 adjustment of director's fees. (Since the
         filing of this lawsuit, John A. Warehime's 1995 Employment Agreement
         was amended.) In addition, the plaintiffs sought costs and fees
         incident to bringing suit. On November 4, 1996, the complaint was
         amended to add additional plaintiffs. On June 24, 1997, the Court
         dismissed the amended complaint for failure to make a prior demand. An
         appeal was filed from the court's June 24, 1997 Order. On December 2,
         1998, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania held that the derivative
         plaintiffs had made adequate demand.

         On May 12, 1997, a written demand was received by the Corporation from
         the attorney for those Class A common stockholders containing similar
         allegations and the allegations raised by the Class A common
         stockholders were investigated by a special independent committee of
         the Board of Directors and found to be without merit.

         The director defendants filed an Answer and New Matter to the Amended
         Complaint on March 17, 1999.

         1997 WAREHIME FAMILY LITIGATION

         On February 21, 1997, Michael A. Warehime, a Class B shareholder, and
         certain Class A shareholders filed motions for a preliminary injunction
         against the Corporation, John A. Warehime, in his capacity as voting
         trustee, and all certain directors of the Corporation in the Court of
         Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania against a Proposal of the
         Board of Directors to amend and restate the Corporation's Articles of
         Incorporation in the manner hereafter described.

         On February 13, 1997, the Board of Directors proposed an amendment and
         restatement of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the
         "Amended and Restated Articles") which provides that if all of the
         following Class B Shareholders (or their estates upon the death of such
         stockholders), Michael A. Warehime, John A. Warehime, Sally W. Yelland,
         J. William Warehime, and Elizabeth W. Stick (all members of the
         Warehime family), do not agree in writing to the composition of the
         Board of Directors or other important matters specified below on or
         after the 1998 annual shareholders meeting, the trustees of the
         Corporation's 401(k) Savings Plan (or a similar employee benefit plan),
         acting as fiduciaries for the employees who participate in the Plan,
         and the Class A shareholders may become entitled to vote in the manner
         described in the document. Pursuant to the Company's Bylaws,
         nominations for director must be submitted to the Company in the manner
         prescribed by the Bylaws no later than June 1 of the year in which the
         meeting is to occur.

         The Amended and Restated Articles create a Series C Convertible
         Preferred Stock and also classified the terms of the Board of Directors
         commencing with the election at the 1997 annual shareholders meeting
         and permit directors to be elected for four year terms as permitted by
         Pennsylvania law.

         The motions for a preliminary injunction were dismissed by the Court on
         June 24, 1997. The Class B shareholders on June 25, 1997 approved the
         Amended and Restated Articles (John A. Warehime being the sole Class B
         shareholder voting affirmatively in his capacity as voting trustee) and
         the Amended and Restated Articles became effective June 25, 1997.

         In August 1997, the Board of Directors proposed a further amendment
         (the "Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Articles to expand the
         definition of "disinterested directors" in the manner described below,
         and to approve certain performance based compensation for John A.
         Warehime solely for the purpose of making the Corporation eligible for
         a federal income tax deduction pursuant to Section 162(m) of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A special meeting was
         scheduled for

         August 14, 1997 (the "Special Meeting") to vote on these proposals. On
         August 8, 1997, Michael A. Warehime filed a motion in the Court of
         Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania to prevent John A. Warehime,
         in his capacity as voting trustee from voting on these proposals and to
         enjoin the Amendment. This Motion was denied on August 11, 1997. The
         Amendment and the proposal under Section 162(m) were approved by Class
         B Shareholders (John A. Warehime was the sole Class B shareholder to
         vote affirmatively, in his capacity as voting trustee) on August 14,
         1997 and the Amendment became effective on August 14, 1997.

         Under the Amendment, the definition of "disinterested directors" means
         the person who, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, meet any
         of the following criteria: (i) disinterested directors as defined in
         Section 17159(e) of the Pennsylvania Business Corporations Law of 1988,
         as amended; (ii) persons who are not "interested" directors as defined
         in Section 1.23 of The American Law Institute "Principles of Corporate
         Governance: Analysis and Recommendations" (1994); or (iii) persons who
         qualify as members of the Audit Committee pursuant to Section 303.00 of
         the New York Stock Exchange's Listed Company Manual.

         Michael Warehime filed an appeal from the denial of his motion to
         enjoin the previously described Amendment to the Company's Amended and
         Restated Articles. On December 2, 1998, a majority panel of the
         Superior Court of Pennsylvania issued a decision holding that although
         John Warehime had acted in good faith in voting for the Amendment to
         the Amended and Restated Articles as trustee of the Warehime voting
         trust, Mr. Warehime breached his fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of
         the Warehime voting trust in voting for the Amendment. On December 16,
         1998, John Warehime filed a motion for reargument en banc with the
         Superior Court. On December 16, 1998, Michael Warehime filed a motion
         for clarification requesting that the Superior Court issue an order
         invalidating the Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles. On
         December 23, 1998, the Superior Court denied Michael Warehime's motion
         for clarification. On February 8, 1999, the Superior Court denied the
         motion for reargument en banc. On March 10, 1999, John Warehime and the
         other directors filed a petition for allowance of appeal with the
         Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. On March 29, 1999, Michael Warehime
         filed a response to the petition for allowance of appeal and a
         cross-petition for allowance of appeal with the Supreme Court of
         Pennsylvania. On April 13, 1999, John Warehime and the independent
         directors of the Company filed a brief in opposition to the conditional
         cross-petition for allowance of appeal filed with Michael Warehime.

         On August 13, 1999, Michael Warehime filed a complaint in equity in the
         Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania, naming as
         defendants Arthur S. Schaier, Cyril T. Noel, Clayton J. Rohrbach, Jr.,
         John A. Warehime, and the Company. The complaint seeks a court order
         declaring that the September 1999 election for the board of

         directors of the Company be conducted in accordance with the Articles
         of Incorporation of the Company as they existed prior to June 25, 1997,
         an order declaring that the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock cannot
         be voted, and an order that the following candidates for the board of
         directors of the Company proposed by Michael Warehime. Sally Yelland,
         Elizabeth Stick and J. William Warehime be accepted by the Company and
         listed on the ballot to be distributed at the annual meeting of
         shareholders of the Company to be held on September 16, 1999: Michael
         Warehime, Daniel Meckley, Elizabeth Stick, Sonny Bowman, and John
         Denton. The basis for the complaint was the December 2, 1998 decision
         of the Pennsylvania Superior Court, which is currently on appeal to the
         Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which held that John A. Warehime breached
         his fiduciary duties in voting for the Amended and Restated Articles as
         trustee of the Warehime voting trust. The complaint also requested that
         John A. Warehime pay all costs incurred by the Company in response to
         the suit as well as award Michael Warehime costs and fees and grant
         such other relief as equity and justice require. On September 7, 1999
         the Court of Common Pleas of York County denied a request by Michael
         Warehime for a temporary restraining order in this case. An appeal from
         the denial was taken by Michael Warehime to the Pennsylvania Superior
         Court on September 15, 1999; the Pennsylvania Superior Court denied a
         motion by Michael Warehime for an expedited appeal.

         The Corporation is involved in various other claims and legal actions
         arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
         management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
         material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial
         position, results of operations or liquidity.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this Form 10-Q, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are
expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "projected," or
similar expressions are intended to identify "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, quarterly fluctuations in operating results, competition, state and
federal regulation, environmental considerations, foreign operations and risks
associated with the Year 2000 Issue. Such factors, which are discussed in the
Form 10-Q, could affect the Corporation's financial performance and could cause
the Corporation's actual results for future periods to differ materially from
any opinion or statements expressed herein with respect to future periods. As a
result, the Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

The following comments should be read in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
appearing in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1999.

GENERAL

Prices for processed food tend to rise with overall inflation and not in line
with prices of raw farm products. Generally, price surges in farm products due
to supply shocks and crop problems are not passed on to consumers dollar for
dollar. Management believes consumers often switch from one food product that
has risen to another which has not changed in price. As a result, food
processors tend to absorb raw farm product price increases to remain
competitive. However, when raw farm product prices drop, food processors try to
retain some of the savings. The Corporation does not expect the overall number
of pounds of frozen and canned vegetables consumed to significantly increase
over the next several years. Generally, the Corporation expects sales growth by
processors beyond expected inflation rates and population growth will come at
the expense of and loss of market share by another processor. Sales growth can
increase internationally and through promotions to increase consumption through
the introduction of new or improved food products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales were $61.6 million for the thirteen week period ended
August 29, 1999. This represents an increase of 5.3% over the thirteen week
period ended August 30, 1998 consolidated net sales of $58.5 million. The
increase of $3.1 million was primarily due to increases in the sales of Bickel's
Potato Chip Co. ("Bickel's) our acquisition during October 1998 and Food Service
and Private Label sales, offset by decreased Frozen Industrial sales.

                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                   HANOVER FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold were $45.8 million, or 74.4% of consolidated net sales in the
thirteen week period ended August 29, 1999 and $43.9 million, or 75.0% of
consolidated net sales, for the corresponding period in 1998. The decrease in
cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from a
reduction in costs of operations, primarily related to lower plant production
expenditures and lower outside storage expense.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses were $8.5 million, or 13.8% of consolidated net sales for the
thirteen week period ended August 29, 1999 as compared to $8.2 million or 14.0%
of consolidated net sales for the corresponding period in 1998. The decrease in
selling expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects lower expenses related to
coupon programs, and decreased retail promotional expenses for the period.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales were 4.7% for
the thirteen week period ended August 29, 1999 and for the corresponding period
of 1998. The increase in amount is attributed to increases in outside
professional consulting services and administrative expenses of Bickel's.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $821,000 for the thirteen week period ended August 29, 1999
as compared to $764,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in interest in
mainly due to higher average borrowings during the current period.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses were $654,000 for the thirteen week period ended August 29, 1999
as compared to $77,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in other
expenses is primarily due to increased foreign translation loss of $410,000 as
well as a reduction of $80,000 in the gain on sales of investments as compared
to the prior year period.

                   HANOVER FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


INCOME TAXES
The provision for corporate federal and state income taxes for the thirteen week
period ended August 29, 1999 was $1.2 million, or 40.7% of pretax earnings, as
compared to $1.1 million, or primarily 40.9% of pre-tax earnings for the same
period in 1998. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to increased
earnings in lower tax rate foreign jurisdictions in the current year period as
compared to the prior period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management's discussion of the Corporation's financial condition should be read
in conjunction with the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows
appearing on page 7 of this report.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net working capital was $11.3 million at August 29, 1999 and May 30, 1999. The
current ratios were 1.13 and 1.15 on August 29, 1999 and May 30, 1999,
respectively.

Cash provided by operating activities for the thirteen week period ended August
29, 1999 was $3.2 million as compared to cash used by operations of $5.3 million
during the same period of 1998. The combination of decreased accounts
receivable, increased accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by increased
inventory levels, utilized less cash flow. By comparison for the same period in
1998, the combination of increased inventory levels, offset by decreases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses utilized more cash flow.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

During the thirteen week period ended August 29, 1999, the Corporation spent
approximately $3.4 million for the purchase of land and plant upgrades and
expansions. This compares to $3.1 million spent during the same period last year
for capital projects.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The increase in notes payable of approximately $3.7 million during the thirteen
week period ended August 29, 1999 represents borrowings made against available
seasonal lines of credit from financial institutions for use in operations and
plant upgrades and expansions.

The Corporation has available seasonal lines of credit from financial
institutions in the amount of $65.0 million, of which $43.3 million was utilized
as of August 29, 1999. Additional borrowings are permitted within parameters in
existing debt agreements.

Management believes these credit facilities provide adequate availability for
seasonal operating requirements.

YEAR 2000

Many existing computer programs, including those utilized by the Corporation,
use only two digits to identify a year in the date field. These programs were
designed and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in
the century. If not corrected, any computer applications could fail or create
erroneous results by or at the Year 2000 (the "Year 2000 Issue"). The
Corporation has retained an outside consultant to manage the Corporation's
efforts to bring its computer system into Year 2000 compliance. The Corporation
has contacted its customers, key suppliers and its equipment manufacturers in an
attempt to ensure third party compliance.

In 1997, the Corporation established a management team to assess the
Corporation's Year 2000 issues and to implement the Corporation's Year 2000
compliance program. The management team includes members of the Corporation's
Management Information, Accounting and Finance Departments and certain officers
of the Corporation. The Corporation has completed the majority of its
implementation and testing program and currently anticipates having all of its
information technology systems as well as non-information technology systems
(which include the Corporation's telecommunications systems and food processing
equipment) Year 2000 compliant by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year
2000. The Corporation is also in the process of developing a contingency plan in
the event its systems are not Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis. The
Corporation currently estimates the total costs associated with addressing the
Year 2000 Issue to be approximately $490,000 and anticipates that such costs
will not materially affect the Corporation's future financial results.

As part of its Year 2000 compliance program, the Corporation is contacting and
surveying vendors and customers with whom the Corporation does a material amount
of business to determine whether these parties' systems (to the extent they
relate to the Corporation's business) are subject to Year 2000 issues. The
failure of the Corporation's material vendors or customers to convert their
systems on a timely basis may have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's operations. The Corporation is in the process of developing a
contingency plan in the event these vendors or customers with which the
Corporation does a material amount of business are not Year 2000 compliant on a
timely basis.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

1995 WAREHIME FAMILY LITIGATION

On February 1, 1995, Michael A. Warehime, J. William Warehime and Elizabeth W.
Stick, three Class B shareholders of the Corporation, filed a complaint in the
Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania against the Corporation and
John A. Warehime (Chairman of the Corporation), in his capacity as voting
trustee of two voting trusts entitling him to vote approximately 52% of the
Class B common stock. The Court has dismissed various claims and parties in the
lawsuit and the only remaining parties are Michael A. Warehime as plaintiff and
John A. Warehime as defendant. The only remaining claims are: (i) a claim for
breach of fiduciary duty based on exercise of powers beyond those granted by
certain voting trust agreements, (ii) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty for
use of the voting trusts in a manner harmful to their beneficiaries, (iii) a
count requesting removal of John A. Warehime as the voting trustee of the voting
trusts.

DERIVATIVE ACTION

On September 13, 1996, certain Class A common stockholders filed a complaint in
equity against six of the Corporation's directors and the estate of a former
director in the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania (the
complaint). The suit also names the Corporation as a nominal defendant. The suit
sought various forms of relief including, but not limited to, rescission of the
board's April 28, 1995 approval of John A. Warehime's 1995 Employment Agreement
and the board's February 10, 1995 adjustment of director's fees. (Since the
filing of this lawsuit, John A. Warehime's 1995 Employment Agreement was
amended.) In addition, the plaintiffs sought costs and fees incident to bringing
suit. On November 4, 1996, the complaint was amended to add additional
plaintiffs. On June 24, 1997, the Court dismissed the amended complaint for
failure to make a prior demand. An appeal was filed from the court's June 24,
1997 Order. On December 2, 1998, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania held that
the derivative plaintiffs had made adequate demand.

On May 12, 1997, a written demand was received by the Corporation from the
attorney for those Class A common stockholders containing similar allegations
and the allegations raised by the Class A common stockholders were investigated
by a special independent committee of the Board of Directors and found to be
without merit.

The director defendants filed an Answer and New Matter to the Amended Complaint
on March 17, 1999.

1997 WAREHIME FAMILY LITIGATION

On February 21, 1997, Michael A. Warehime, a Class B shareholder, and certain
Class A shareholders filed motions for a preliminary injunction against the
Corporation, John A. Warehime, in his capacity as voting trustee, and all
certain directors of the Corporation in the Court of Common Pleas of York
County, Pennsylvania against a Proposal of the Board of Directors to amend and
restate the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation in the manner hereafter
described.

On February 13, 1997, the Board of Directors proposed an amendment and
restatement of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the "Amended and
Restated Articles") which provides that if all of the following Class B
Shareholders (or their estates upon the death of such stockholders), Michael A.
Warehime, John A. Warehime, Sally W. Yelland, J. William Warehime, and Elizabeth
W. Stick (all members of the Warehime family), do not agree in writing to the
composition of the Board of Directors or other important matters specified below
on or after the 1998 annual shareholders meeting, the trustees of the
Corporation's 401(k) Savings Plan (or a similar employee benefit plan), acting
as fiduciaries for the employees who participate in the Plan, and the Class A
shareholders may become entitled to vote in the manner described in the
document. Pursuant to the Company's Bylaws, nominations for director must be
submitted to the Company in the manner prescribed by the Bylaws no later than
June 1 of the year in which the meeting is to occur.

The Amended and Restated Articles create a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
and also classified the terms of the Board of Directors commencing with the
election at the 1997 annual shareholders meeting and permit directors to be
elected for four year terms as permitted by Pennsylvania law.

The motions for a preliminary injunction were dismissed by the Court on June 24,
1997. The Class B shareholders on June 25, 1997 approved the Amended and
Restated Articles (John A. Warehime being the sole Class B shareholder voting
affirmatively in his capacity as voting trustee) and the Amended and Restated
Articles became effective June 25, 1997.

In August 1997, the Board of Directors proposed a further amendment (the
"Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Articles to expand the definition of
"disinterested directors" in the manner described below, and to approve certain
performance based compensation for John A. Warehime solely for the purpose of
making the Corporation eligible for a federal income tax deduction pursuant to
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A special
meeting was scheduled for August 14, 1997 (the "Special Meeting") to vote on
these proposals. On August 8, 1997, Michael A. Warehime filed a motion in the
Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania to prevent John A. Warehime,
in his capacity as voting trustee from voting on these proposals and to enjoin
the Amendment. This Motion was denied on August 11, 1997. The Amendment and the
proposal under Section 162(m) were approved by Class B Shareholders (John A.
Warehime was the sole Class B shareholder to vote affirmatively,


                                       22
<PAGE>   23
in his capacity as voting trustee) on August 14, 1997 and the Amendment became
effective on August 14, 1997.

Under the Amendment, the definition of "disinterested directors" means the
person who, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, meet any the
following criteria: (i) disinterested directors as defined in Section 17159(e)
of the Pennsylvania Business Corporations Law of 1988, as amended; (ii) persons
who are not "interested" directors as defined in Section 1.23 of The American
Law Institute "Principles of Corporate Governance: Analysis and Recommendations"
(1994); or (iii) persons who qualify as members of the Audit Committee pursuant
to Section 303.00 of the New York Stock Exchange's Listed Company Manual.

Michael Warehime filed an appeal from the denial of his motion to enjoin the
previously described Amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles.
On December 2, 1998, a majority panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania
issued a decision holding that although John Warehime had acted in good faith in
voting for the Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles as trustee of the
Warehime voting trust, Mr. Warehime breached his fiduciary duty to the
beneficiaries of the Warehime voting trust in voting for the Amendment. On
December 16, 1998, John Warehime filed a motion for reargument en banc with the
Superior Court. On December 16, 1998, Michael Warehime filed a motion for
clarification requesting that the Superior Court issue an order invalidating the
Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles. On December 23, 1998, the
Superior Court denied Michael Warehime's motion for clarification. On February
8, 1999, the Superior Court denied the motion for reargument en banc. On March
10, 1999, John Warehime and the other directors filed a petition for allowance
of appeal with the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. On March 29, 1999, Michael
Warehime filed a response to the petition for allowance of appeal and a
cross-petition for allowance of appeal with the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
On April 13, 1999, John Warehime and the independent directors of the Company
filed a brief in opposition to the conditional cross-petition for allowance of
appeal filed with Michael Warehime.

On August 13, 1999, Michael Warehime filed a complaint in equity in the Court of
Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania, naming as defendants Arthur S.
Schaier, Cyril T. Noel, Clayton J. Rohrbach, Jr., John A. Warehime, and the
Company. The complaint seeks a court order declaring that the September 1999
election for the board of directors of the Company be conducted in accordance
with the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as they existed prior to June
25, 1997, an order declaring that the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
cannot be voted, and an order that the following candidates for the board of
directors of the Company proposed by Michael Warehime. Sally Yelland, Elizabeth
Stick and J. William Warehime be accepted by the Company and listed on the
ballot to be distributed at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company to
be held on September 16, 1999: Michael Warehime, Daniel Meckley, Elizabeth
Stick, Sonny Bowman, and John Denton. The basis for the complaint was the
December 2, 1998 decision of the Pennsylvania Superior Court, which is currently
on appeal to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, which held that John A. Warehime
had breached his fiduciary duties in voting for the Amended and Restated
Articles as trustee of the Warehime voting trust. The complaint also requested
that John A. Warehime pay all costs incurred by the Company in response to the
suit as well as award Michael Warehime costs and fees and grant such other
relief as equity and justice require. On September 7, 1999 the Court of Common


                                       23
<PAGE>   24
Pleas of York County denied a request by Michael Warehime for a temporary
restraining order in this case. An appeal from the denial was taken by Michael
Warehime to the Pennsylvania Superior Court on September 15, 1999; the
Pennsylvania Superior Court denied a motion by Michael Warehime for an expedited
appeal.

The Corporation is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
