| (9) | LEGAL MATTERS**Derivative Action**On September 13, 1996, certain Class A shareholders 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 costsand 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 on 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 shareholders 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 tothe amended complaint on March 17, 1999.  On September 5, 2001, director defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Derivative Action.

|   | The Amended and Restated          Articles created a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock , which, in          case of a dispute among the above mentioned members of the Warehime          family on Board of Directors composition or other important matters,          would be entitled to 35 votes per shares (a total of 350,000 votes          based on 10,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued          to and held by the trustees of the Corporation’s 401(k) Savings          Plan); if Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to vote          because of such dispute, each share of Class A Common Stock would be          entitled to 1/10th of a vote per share.

The Amended and Restated Articles          also classified the terms of the Board of Directors commencing with          the election at the 1997 annual shareholders’ meeting and permitted          directors to be elected for four-year term as permitted by Pennsylvania          law. Pursuant to the Corporation’s Bylaws, as then in effect,          nominations for directors must be submitted to the Corporation in the          manner prescribed by the Bylaws no later than June 1 of the year in          which the meeting is to occur.

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 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 described          herein.

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 by the Court 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 a person who, in the          opinion of counsel for the Corporation, meets any of the following          criteria: (i) disinterested directors as defined in Section 1715(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 A. Warehime filed          an appeal from the denial of his motion to enjoin the previously described          Amendment to the Corporation’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 A. Warehime had acted          in good faith in voting for the Amendment to the Amended and Restated          Articles as trustee of the Warehime voting trust, he had breached his          fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the Warehime voting trust in          voting for the Amendment. On November 29, 1999, the Supreme Court of          Pennsylvania granted a petition for allowance of appeal, filed by John          A. Warehime, and granted a cross-petition for appeal filed by Michael          A. Warehime.

On August 13, 1999, Michael          A. 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          Corporation. The complaint sought a court order declaring that the          September 1999 election for the Board of Directors of the Corporation          be conducted in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of the          Corporation 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 Corporation proposed by Michael A. Warehime, Sally Yelland, Elizabeth          Stick and J. William Warehime be accepted by the Corporation and listed          on the ballot to be distributed at the annual meeting of shareholders          of the Corporation to be held on September 16, 1999: Michael A. Warehime,          Daniel Meckley, Elizabeth Stick, Sonny Bowman, and John Denton. The          basis for the complaint was the December 2, 1998 decision of the Superior          Court of Pennsylvania 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 requested relief was denied          by the Court of Common Pleas of York County and Michael Warehime appealed          to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

On September 12, 2000, the          Superior Court of Pennsylvania stated, in a Memorandum decision, that          the June 25, 1997 shareholder vote, which adopted the Amended and Restated          Articles of the Corporation should be set aside, and remanded the case          to the Court of Common Pleas of York County to determine what further          relief would be appropriate. On remand, the Court of Common Pleas of          York County entered an Order on October 10, 2000 declaring that the          Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation were set aside and that          an election should be held without the Amended or Restated Articles.          On October 11, 2000, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania entered an Order          staying the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of York County.

On November 27, 2000, the Supreme          Court of Pennsylvania reversed and remanded the Order of the Superior          Court issued on December 2, 1998 and, in effect, the Order of the Superior          Court issued September 12, 2000. In reversing the Superior Court’s          Order, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that John A. Warehime,          the trustee of the voting trust, did not breach his fiduciary duties          in voting the trust shares in favor of the Amended and Restated Articles          of Incorporation. The Supreme Court remanded the case to the Superior          Court of Pennsylvania to consider other issues raised by Michael A.          Warehime

On May 4, 2001, the Superior          Court of Pennsylvania, on remand from the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania          to decide several remaining issues, held that the 1997 amendments to          the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation “violated          principles of corporate democracy” and should be invalidated          even though the Superior Court found the directors acted in good faith          and their actions in approving the amendments did not result in a breach          of their fiduciary duties. A petition for allocatur was filed with          the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania requesting that the Supreme Court          of Pennsylvania review the Superior Court’s May 4, 2001 ruling.          On September 17, 2002, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania granted the          petition for allocatur and oral argument was heard in the matter on    May 13, 2003. |

|   | On December 12, 2002, Michael          Warehime filed an Emergency Application for Expedited Relief with the          Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the Warehime v. Warehime  appeal          concerning the election of directors noticed for December 23, 2002.          The Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied Michael Warehime’s emergency          application on December 20, 2002.

On December 12, 2002, Michael          Warehime filed a Motion for Relief under the Warehime v. Schaier caption          in the York County Court of Common Pleas. Michael Warehime’s          motion requested, interalia, that Hanover Foods Corporation’s          December 23, 2002 election be conducted according to the Articles of          Incorporation as they existed prior to June 25, 1997. Following a hearing          on December 20, 2002, the York County Court of Common Pleas denied          Michael Warehime’s Motion for Relief. On January 17, 2003 Michael          Warehime appealed the Court’s denial of his Motion for Relief          to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. Oral argument was heard in this          matter before the Superior County on January 13, 2004.

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 Annual Report, 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, and foreign operations. Such factors, which are discussed in the Form 10-Q, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause theCompany’s actual result for future periods to differ materially from any opinion or statements expressed herein with respect to future periods.  As a result, the Company 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/A for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2003.

**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 material supply reductions 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 product consumed to significantly increase over the next several years.  Generally, the Corporation expects salesgrowth 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 $234.1 million for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004.  This represents an increase of 8.2% over the thirty-nine week period ended March 2, 2003 consolidated net sales of $216.5 million.  Consolidated net sales were $83.0 million for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004, a 13.5% increase from the consolidated net sales of $73.2 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.  The increase in consolidated net

**PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATIONItem 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of OperationsHANOVER FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

sales for the thirty-nine week period was due to increased refrigerated and fresh food sales as well as increases in our snacks, branded sales, private label, and food service sales.  These increases were partially offset by decreases in industrial and canned mushroom sales.  The increase in consolidated net sales for the thirteen week period was due to increases in refrigerated and fresh food sales as well as increases in our snacks, branded, private label, industrial and food service sales.

**COST OF GOODS SOLD**

Cost of goods sold were $199.5 million, or 85.2% of consolidated net sales in the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004 and $180.9 million, or 83.5% of consolidated net sales for the corresponding period in 2003.  Cost of goods sold were $71.6 million, or 86.2% of consolidated net sales for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to $60.7 million, or 82.9% of consolidated net sales for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage or net sales resulted primarily from the increases in refrigerated food sales and private label snacks at a higher cost of sales percentage as compared to other sales of the Company as well as higher energy, health care costs and raw commodity priceincreases without a corresponding increase in prices due to competition pressures.  The increase cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen week period resulted primarily from higher energy costs, health care costs and raw commodity prices as well as higher cost of goods percentage in our refrigerated foods sales and private label snack sales as well as frozen industrial sales which have increased for the quarter ended February 29, 2004

**GROSS MARGIN**

Gross margins were $34.7 million,  or 14.8% of consolidated net sales in the thirty-nine week period ended February  29, 2004 and $35.6 million, or 16.5% of consolidated net sales for the corresponding  period in 2003. Gross margins were $11.4 million, or 13.8% of consolidated net  sales for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to $12.5  million, or 17.1% of consolidated net sales for the corresponding period in  2003. The decrease in gross margins as a percentage of net sales for both the  thirty-nine week and thirteen-week periods resulted primarily from higher energy  costs, increases in health care costs and higher raw commodity costs as well  as lower gross margins in our refrigerated food sales and private label snack  sales which increased for the period. During the thirteen week period ended  February 29, 2004 our industrial frozen sales increased 19%, which have lower  margins than other sales areas of the corporation.

**SELLING EXPENSES**

Selling expenses were $9.0 million, or 3.8% of consolidated net sales for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to $9.7 million or 4.5% of consolidated net sales for the corresponding period in 2003.  Selling expense were $3.1 million or 3.8% of consolidated net

sales for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to $3.6 million, or 4.9% of consolidated net sales during the corresponding period in 2003.  The decrease in selling expense for both periods reflects lower customer advertising dollars, lower customer fees on promotion charges due to faster processing of the data as well as lower package design expenses.

**ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES**

Administrative expenses were $11.1    million, or 4.7% of consolidated net sales for the thirty-nine week period    ended February    29, 2004 as compared to $11.3 million, or 5.2% of consolidated net sales    for the corresponding period in 2003. Administrative expenses were $4.0 million,    or 4.8% of consolidated net sales for the thirteen week period ended February    29, 2004 as compared to $4.4 million, or 6.0% or consolidated net sales for    the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease in administration expense    for both the thirty-nine and thirteen week period reflects lower workmen’s    compensation insurance reserves at Hanover Insurance Company Limited, a wholly-owned    subsidiary of Hanover Foods Corporation, and lower 401K and ESOP contribution    reserves, off-set by increases in the provision for the supplemental pensionbenefits.

**INTEREST EXPENSE**

Interest expense was $1.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2003.   Interest expense was $.6 million for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to $.7 million for the same period in 2003.  The decreases in both periods reflects lower average borrowings as well as lower average borrowing rate for the periods compared to 2003.

The average seasonal borrowings were $11.5 million for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004 a decrease of $7.3 million compared to the corresponding period in 2003.  The average seasonal borrowing rate was 1.92% for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004 a decrease of .48% compared to the corresponding period in 2003.  The average seasonal borrowings was $16.9 million for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 an increase of $.2 million compared to the corresponding period in 2003.  The average seasonal borrowing rate was 1.84% for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 a decrease of .57% compared to the corresponding period in 2003.

**OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSES**

Other income was $.2 million for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to other expense of $.2 million for the same period in 2003.  Other income, net was $19,000 for the thirteen week period ended February 29, 2004 as compared to other expenses, net of $75,000 for the same period in 2003.  The increase in other income for the thirty-nine week period is due from income generated from the sales of investments.  The decrease in other expenses for the thirteen week period is due to an decrease in the foreign translation loss for the current period compared to the prior year, and income generated from the sales of investments.

**INCOME TAXES**

The provision for corporate federal  and state income taxes for the thirty-nine week period ended February 29, 2004  was $4.6 million, or 35.0% of pretax earnings, as compared to $4.3 million,  or 35.6% of pre-tax earnings for the same period in 2003. The provisions for  corporate federal and state income taxes for the thirteen week period ended  February 29, 2004 was $1.4 million, or 37.3% of pre-tax earnings as compared  to $1.4 million, or 37.7% of pre-tax earnings for the same period in 2003. The  decrease in the effective tax rate for the thirty-nine week period is primarily  due to increased earnings in jurisdiction with lower effective tax for the current  period as compared to the prior period. The decrease in the effective tax rate  for the thirteen week period is primarily due to increased earnings in jurisdiction  with lower effective tax rates in the current period as compared to the prior  period.

**PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATIONItem 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of OperationsHANOVER FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

In the current fiscal year, the Company is obligated to purchase 6,000,000 lbs. of tomato paste from California Tomato Products, Colusa, California.  Effective March 15, 2004, the Company contracted to purchase a minimum of 5,000,000 lbs. of tomato paste per year from The Morningstar Packing Company L.P., Los Banos, California until June 30, 2007.  The current market price of tomato paste is 28¢/lb. FOB California.

The Company’s sources of liquidity are primarily funds from operations and available amounts under three (3) seasonal lines of credit. One line expires on October 29, 2004, the second line expires on October 31, 2004 and the third line expires on January 28, 2005.  They are expected to be renewed in the ordinary course of business.

**NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS**

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 *Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.*  The statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  It requires that an issuer to classify a financial instrument within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances).  The statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  Adoption of the Statement did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires the Corporation to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Many of the estimates and assumptions require significant judgment.  Future actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions and could have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.  

The following accounting policies, estimates and assumptions are particularly sensitive because of their significance on the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements:  

|   | • | The allowance for potentially uncollectible receivables and pending deductions requires management to make significant judgments in estimating future amounts to be received.  Our judgments are based upon historical experience and current market conditions.  Changes in estimates could be impacted as a result of events, such as a deterioration of the credit status of customers or material reductions in product and sales volumes. |

|   | • | Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  However, determining fair value is subject to estimates of both cash flows and interest rates and different estimates could yield different results.  There are no events or changes in circumstances of which management is aware indicating that thecarrying value of the Corporation’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable. |

|   | • | Effective June 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142).  In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment.  As required by SFAS 142, management performed transitional impairment testing during the third quarter and annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003.  These tests confirmed that the fair value of the Corporation’s reporting units exceeds their carrying values, and that no impairment loss needed to be recognized for goodwill upon the adoption of SFAS 142.The annual evaluation of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets requires the use of estimates about future operating results for each reporting unit to determine their estimated fair value.  Changes in forecasted operations can materially affect these estimates.  Additionally, other changes in the estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate and expected long-term growth rate, which drive the valuation techniques employed to estimate the fair value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could change and, therefore, impact the assessments of impairment in the future. |

The footnotes to the consolidated financial statements provide additional information on accounting policies and assumptions used by the Corporation.
