                            PRO-FAC COOPERATIVE, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Cooperative:  Pro-Fac Cooperative, Inc. is an agricultural cooperative which
processes  and  markets  crops grown by its  members  through  its  wholly-owned
subsidiary Agrilink Foods, Inc. ("Agrilink Foods") and through its subsidiary PF
Acquisition II, Inc. in which it has a controlling  interest. PF Acquisition II,
Inc.  conducts business under the name AgriFrozen Foods  ("AgriFrozen").  Unless
the context otherwise  requires,  the terms "Cooperative" and "Pro-Fac" refer to
Pro-Fac Cooperative, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Agrilink Foods has four primary  product lines  including:  vegetables,  fruits,
snacks,  and canned meals.  AgriFrozen has vegetables as its one primary product
line. The majority of each of the product lines' net sales are within the United
States. In addition,  all of the Cooperative's  operating facilities,  excluding
one in Mexico, are within the United States.

Basis  of  Presentation:   The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted  in the  United  States  of  America  ("GAAP")  for  interim  financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information  required by GAAP
for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a
fair  presentation  of the results of operations  have been included.  Operating
results for the quarter ended September 23, 2000 are not necessarily the results
to be  expected  for other  interim  periods or the full year.  These  financial
statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and
accompanying notes contained in the Pro-Fac Cooperative,  Inc. Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 24, 2000.

Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the Cooperative and
its subsidiaries,  Agrilink Foods and AgriFrozen.  The financial  statements are
after  elimination of  intercompany  transactions  and balances.  Investments in
affiliates  owned  more than 20  percent  but not in excess  of 50  percent  are
recorded under the equity method of accounting.

Reclassification:  Certain  items for  fiscal  2000 have  been  reclassified  to
conform with the current period presentation.


NOTE 2.       ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

On June 25, 2000, the Cooperative adopted Financial  Accounting  Standards Board
("FASB")  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  133,
"Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133
requires the  recognition  of all  derivative  financial  instruments  as either
assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and measurement of those
instruments at fair value.  Changes in the fair values of those derivatives will
be reported in earnings or other  comprehensive  income  depending on the use of
the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The accounting for
gains and losses  associated  with changes in the fair value of a derivative and
the effect on the  consolidated  financial  statements  will depend on its hedge
designation  and whether the hedge is highly  effective in achieving  offsetting
changes in the fair value or cash flow of the asset or liability  hedged.  Under
the  provisions  of SFAS No. 133, the method that will be used for assessing the
effectiveness of a hedging derivative,  as well as the measurement  approach for
determining  the  ineffective  aspects of the hedge,  must be established at the
inception of the hedge.

The  Cooperative,  as a result of its  operating  and  financing  activities  is
exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain commodity prices,
and interest  rates,  which may adversely  affect its results of operations  and
financial  position.  In seeking to minimize the risks  and/or costs  associated
with such activities, the Cooperative may enter into derivative contracts.

The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not materially affect the Cooperative's results
of operations or financial position.

Foreign  Currency:  Agrilink  Foods  manages its foreign  currency  related risk
primarily through the use of foreign currency forward  contracts.  The contracts
held by Agrilink Foods are denominated in Mexican pesos.

Agrilink  Foods has entered into foreign  currency  forward  contracts  that are
designated  as cash flow  hedges of  exchange  rate risk  related to  forecasted
foreign  currency-denominated   intercompany  sales.  During  fiscal  2000,  the
Agrilink  Foods entered into cash flow hedges for the Mexican peso with maturity
dates  ranging  from July 2000 to April 2001.  At September  23, 2000,  the fair
value

<PAGE>
of the  open  contracts  was an  after-tax  gain of $0.2  million,  recorded  in
accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. Amounts deferred
to accumulated  other  comprehensive  income will be  reclassified  into cost of
goods sold within the next 12 months.

During  the first  quarter  of  fiscal  2001,  approximately  $0.3  million  was
reclassified  from  other  comprehensive  income  to cost of goods  sold.  Hedge
ineffectiveness was insignificant.

Commodity  Prices:  Agrilink Foods is exposed to commodity price risk related to
forecasted  purchases of soybean oil, an ingredient in the  manufacture of salad
dressings and  mayonnaise.  To mitigate  this risk,  Agrilink  Foods  designates
soybean oil forward contracts as cash flow hedges of its forecasted  soybean oil
purchases.  At September 23, 2000, Agrilink Foods had open soybean oil contracts
hedging  approximately 70 percent of its planned soybean oil requirements during
fiscal 2001. The fair value of these open contracts was $64,800 at September 23,
2000.  During the first  quarter of fiscal  2001,  an  immaterial  loss on these
contracts  was  recorded in cost of goods  sold.  All open  contracts  mature by
January 2001.

Agrilink  Foods is  exposed  to  commodity  price  risk  related  to  forecasted
purchases of corrugated (unbleached kraftliner) in its manufacturing process. To
mitigate this risk,  Agrilink  Foods  designates a swap agreement as a cash flow
hedge of its forecasted  corrugated  purchases.  At September 23, 2000, Agrilink
Foods  had an  open  swap  hedging  approximately  80  percent  of  its  planned
corrugated  requirements.  The fair value of this  agreement  was  immaterial at
September 23, 2000. The termination date for the agreement is June 2001.

Interest  Rates:  Agrilink  Foods is exposed  to  interest  rate risk  primarily
through its  borrowing  activities.  The majority of Agrilink  Foods'  long-term
borrowings  are  variable  rate  instruments.  Agrilink  Foods  entered into two
interest rate swap contracts  under which Agrilink Foods agrees to pay an amount
equal to a specified fixed rate of interest times a notional  principal  amount,
and to  receive  in return  an  amount  equal to a  specified  variable  rate of
interest times the same notional  principal amount.  The notional amounts of the
contract are not exchanged and no other cash payments are made. The two interest
rate swap  contracts  were entered into with a major  financial  institution  in
order to minimize credit risk.

The first  interest  rate swap  contract  required  payment  of a fixed  rate of
interest  (4.96  percent)  and the  receiving  of a  variable  rate of  interest
(three-month  LIBOR of 6.77  percent as of  September  23, 2000) on $150 million
notional amount of indebtedness.  Agrilink Foods had a second interest rate swap
contract to pay a fixed rate of interest  (5.32  percent) and receive a variable
rate of interest (three-month LIBOR of 6.77 percent as of September 23, 2000) on
$100 million  notional amount of  indebtedness.  Approximately 59 percent of the
underlying debt is being hedged with these interest rate swaps.

Agrilink Foods designates these interest rate swap contacts as cash flow hedges.
At September 23, 2000,  the fair value of the contracts was an after-tax gain of
$2.1  million,   recorded  in   accumulated   other   comprehensive   income  in
shareholder's  equity.

To the  extent  that any of these  contracts  are not  considered  effective  in
offsetting the change in the value of the interest  payments  being hedged,  any
changes in fair value relating to the ineffective  portion of these contacts are
immediately  recognized  in  income.  However,  the  net  gain  or  loss  on the
ineffective  portion of these  interest  rate swap  contracts  was not  material
during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Amounts deferred to other comprehensive
income will be  reclassified  into  interest  expense  over the life of the swap
contracts.

NOTE 3.       DISPOSITIONS

Sale of Pickle  Business:  On June 23,  2000,  Agrilink  Foods  sold its  pickle
business  based in Tacoma  Washington  to Dean  Pickle  and  Specialty  Products
Company.  This  business  included  pickle,  pepper,  and relish  products  sold
primarily  under the  Nalley  and  Farman's  brand  names.  Agrilink  Foods will
continue to contract  pack Nalley and Farman's  pickle  products for a period of
two years at the existing  Tacoma  processing  plant which  Agrilink  Foods will
operate.

In a related  transaction,  on July 21, 2000,  Agrilink Foods sold the machinery
and equipment  utilized in the production of pickles and other related  products
to Dean Pickle and Specialty  Products Company.  No significant gain or loss was
recognized on this  transaction.  The Company received  proceeds of $5.0 million
which were applied to bank loans ($3.2  million of which was applied to the term
loan  facility  and $1.8  million of which was  applied to the  Agrilink  Foods'
revolving credit facility).

Sale of Midwest Private Label Canned  Vegetable  Business:  On November 8, 1999,
Agrilink  Foods  completed the sale its Midwest  private label canned  vegetable
business to Seneca Foods,  which  included the  Arlington,  Minnesota  facility.
Agrilink Foods received

<PAGE>


proceeds  of  approximately  $42.4  million  which were  applied to  outstanding
borrowings.  In addition,  Seneca Foods issued to Agrilink  Foods a $5.0 million
unsecured  subordinated  promissory note due February 8, 2009. This  transaction
did not include the Agrilink  Foods' retail branded canned  vegetables,  Veg-All
and Freshlike. No significant gain or loss was recognized on this transaction.

NOTE 4.       AGREEMENTS WITH AGRILINK FOODS AND AGRIFROZEN

Agrilink Foods: The contractual  relationship between Pro-Fac and Agrilink Foods
is defined in the Pro-Fac  Marketing  and  Facilitation  Agreement  (the Pro-Fac
Marketing  Agreement").  Under the Pro-Fac Marketing  Agreement,  Agrilink Foods
pays  Pro-Fac the  commercial  market  value  ("CMV") for all crops  supplied by
Pro-Fac.  CMV is defined as the weighted  average price paid by other commercial
processors  for similar  crops sold under  preseason  contracts  and in the open
market in the same or competing  market area.  Although CMV is intended to be no
more than the fair market value of the crops purchased by Agrilink Foods, it may
be more or less than the price  Agrilink  Foods  would pay in the open market in
the absence of the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement.

Under the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement, Agrilink Foods is required to have on its
board of directors  individuals  who are neither  members of nor affiliated with
Pro-Fac ("Disinterested  Directors"). The number of Disinterested Directors must
at least equal the number of  directors  who are members of  Pro-Fac's  board of
directors.  The volume and type of crops to be purchased by Agrilink  Foods from
Pro-Fac under the Pro-Fac  Marketing  Agreement are  determined  pursuant to its
annual  profit  plan,   which  requires  the  approval  of  a  majority  of  the
Disinterested  Directors of Agrilink  Foods.  In addition,  in any year in which
Agrilink Foods has earnings on products which were processed from crops supplied
by Pro-Fac ("Pro-Fac  Products"),  Agrilink Foods pays to Pro-Fac, as additional
patronage income, up to 90 percent of such earnings, but in no case more than 50
percent of all pretax earnings (before dividing with Pro-Fac) of Agrilink Foods.
In years in which Agrilink Foods has losses on Pro-Fac Products,  Agrilink Foods
reduces  the CMV it would  otherwise  pay to Pro-Fac by up to 90 percent of such
losses,  but in no case by more than 50  percent of all  pretax  losses  (before
dividing with Pro-Fac) of Agrilink Foods. Additional patronage income is paid to
Pro-Fac for services  provided to Agrilink  Foods,  including the provision of a
long term, stable crop supply, favorable payment terms for crops and the sharing
of risks in losses of certain  operations of the  business.  Earnings and losses
are  determined  at the end of the fiscal year,  but are accrued on an estimated
basis  during  the year.  Under the  Pro-Fac  Marketing  Agreement,  Pro-Fac  is
required to reinvest at least 70 percent of the additional  patronage  income in
Agrilink Foods.

Amounts  received by Pro-Fac  from  Agrilink  Foods for the three  months  ended
September 23, 2000 and September  25, 1999 include:  commercial  market value of
crops delivered, $48.4 million and $53.3 million,  respectively;  and additional
proceeds  from  profit   sharing   provisions  of,  $34,000  and  $0.7  million,
respectively.

AgriFrozen:  The  contractual  relationship  between  Pro-Fac and  AgriFrozen is
defined in a marketing and facilitation agreement between Pro-Fac and AgriFrozen
(the  "AgriFrozen  Marketing  Agreement").  Under  this  agreement,   AgriFrozen
purchases  raw  products  from  Pro-Fac and  processes  and markets the finished
products.  AgriFrozen will pay Pro-Fac CMV for the crops supplied by Pro-Fac. In
addition,  in any  year  in  which  AgriFrozen  has  earnings,  AgriFrozen  will
distribute such earnings to members of Pro-Fac. However, in the event AgriFrozen
experiences  any  losses,  AgriFrozen  will deduct the losses from the total CMV
payable.  The agreement permits  AgriFrozen to pay 20 percent in cash and retain
80 percent of its earnings on Pro-Fac products as working capital.  Earnings and
losses are  determined  at the end of the  fiscal  year,  but are  accrued on an
estimated  basis  during the year.  Under the  AgriFrozen  Marketing  Agreement,
AgriFrozen  paid Pro-Fac  $7.5  million in CMV for crops  purchased in the three
months ended September 23, 2000.

Under the AgriFrozen Marketing  Agreement,  the board of directors of AgriFrozen
is required to consist of: (i) at least three and as many as five  directors who
are  individuals  who currently serve as directors of Pro-Fac and who are chosen
by  Pro-Fac's  board of  directors;  (ii) one  director  who is nominated by the
president of Agrilink Foods from among Agrilink Foods' management employees; and
(iii)  any  number  of  disinterested  directors  who  are  to be  elected  from
individuals  suggested  by  the  president  of  Agrilink  Foods.   Disinterested
directors  are persons who are neither  employees,  shareholders,  nor otherwise
affiliated with Pro-Fac or AgriFrozen,  but may include a disinterested director
of Agrilink Foods.

Amendments to Agrilink Foods' Term Loan Facility:  The Agrilink Foods' term loan
facility  contains  customary  covenants and restrictions on Agrilink Foods' and
the Cooperative's  ability to engage in certain activities,  including,  but not
limited to: (i)  limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness  and liens,  (ii)
limitations on sale-leaseback  transactions,  consolidations,  mergers,  sale of
assets,  transactions  with affiliates and investments and (iii) covenants which
require  Pro-Fac to maintain a minimum level of consolidated  EBITDA,  a minimum
consolidated  interest  coverage  ratio,  a minimum  consolidated  fixed  charge
coverage ratio, a maximum  consolidated  leverage ratio,  and a minimum level of
consolidated net worth. Under the Credit Agreement, the assets, liabilities, and
results of  operations  of  AgriFrozen  Inc., a subsidiary  of Pro-Fac,  are not
consolidated with Pro-Fac for purposes of determining debt covenant compliance.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2001,  Agrilink Foods negotiated an amendment
to the covenants  outlined under the credit facility.  In consideration for this
amendment, Agrilink Foods incurred a fee of approximately $1.7 million. This fee
is being  amortized  over  the  life of the  credit  facility.  Pursuant  to the
amendment,  the interest rates were modified and the credit  facility  currently
bears  interest,  at  Agrilink  Foods'  option,  at the  Administrative  Agent's
alternate base rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus, in each
case,  applicable  margins of: (i) in the case of alternate base rate loans, (x)
1.25  percent  for loans  under the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and the Term A
Facility,  (y) 3.00  percent  for loans  under the Term B Facility  and (z) 3.25
percent for loans under the Term C Facility and (ii) in the case of LIBOR loans,
(x) 3.00 percent for loans under the  Revolving  Credit  Facility and the Term A
Facility,  (y) 4.00  percent  for loans  under the Term B Facility  and (z) 4.25
percent  for  loans  under  the  Term C  Facility.  The  Administrative  Agent's
"alternate  base rate" is defined as the  greater  of: (i) the prime  commercial
rate as announced  by the  Administrative  Agent or (ii) the Federal  Funds rate
plus  0.50  percent.  Pro-Fac  and  Agrilink  Foods are in  compliance  with all
covenants, restrictions, and requirements under the terms of the credit facility
as amended.

Credit   Agreement  and  Subordinated   Note  Agreement  of  AgriFrozen:   Under
AgriFrozen's   CoBank  Credit  Facility,   AgriFrozen  is  able,  under  certain
conditions,  to borrow up to $50.0 million for seasonal working capital purposes
under the CoBank Revolving  Credit Facility.  As of September 23, 2000, (i) cash
borrowings  outstanding  under the CoBank  Revolving  Credit Facility were $44.8
million,  and (ii) additional  availability  under the CoBank  Revolving  Credit
Facility, after taking into account the amount of borrowings,  was $5.2 million.
The CoBank  Revolving  Credit  Facility  requires that  AgriFrozen  meet certain
financial tests and ratios and comply with certain restrictions and limitations.

CoBank  has  verbally  agreed to forbear  from  enforcing  rights or  exercising
remedies in respect of existing  noncompliance  with certain financial tests and
ratios and existing  noncompliance  with certain  restrictions  and limitations.
Such forbearance is for an indefinite  duration and could be withdrawn by CoBank
at any time.  AgriFrozen continues its negotiations with CoBank concerning these
areas and to increase  the  borrowing  limit under the CoBank  Revolving  Credit
Facility.  In light of these  circumstances,  there can be no assurance that the
cash flow  generated by operations  and the amounts  available  under the CoBank
Revolving  Credit Facility will provide  adequate  liquidity to fund the working
capital needs and capital expenditures of AgriFrozen.

AgriFrozen's obligations are not guaranteed by Pro-Fac or Agrilink Foods and are
expressly  nonrecourse as to Pro-Fac and Agrilink Foods. As such,  these current
circumstances of AgriFrozen's debt and liquidity will not affect the business of
Pro-Fac or Agrilink Foods.

NOTE 7.       OTHER MATTERS

Restructuring:  During the third  quarter of fiscal 1999,  Agrilink  Foods began
implementation of a corporate-wide restructuring program. The overall objectives
of the plan  were to  reduce  expenses,  improve  productivity,  and  streamline
operations.  The total  restructuring  charge  amounted to $5.0  million and was
primarily comprised of employee  termination  benefits.  Efforts have focused on
the  consolidation  of operating  functions and the elimination of approximately
five percent of the work force.  Reductions in personnel include operational and
administrative positions and have improved annual earnings by approximately $8.0
million.  Through  September  23,  2000,  $4.3  million of this  charge has been
liquidated  and the remaining  termination  benefits  will be liquidated  during
fiscal 2001.

               CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, the  Cooperative  makes oral and written  statements that may
constitute  "forward-looking  statements"  as defined in the Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 (the  "Act") or by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("SEC") in its rules,  regulations,  and releases.  The  Cooperative
desires  to  take  advantage  of the  "safe  harbor"  provisions  in the Act for
forward-looking  statements made from time to time,  including,  but not limited
to, the forward-looking information contained in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  (pages 11 to 14) and
other statements made in this Form 10-Q and in other filings with the SEC.

The Cooperative cautions readers that any such  forward-looking  statements made
by  or  on  behalf  of  the  Cooperative  are  based  on  management's   current
expectations  and beliefs but are not guarantees of future  performance.  Actual
results  could  differ  materially  from  those  expressed  or  implied  in  the
forward-looking   statements.   Among  the   factors   that  could   impact  the
Cooperative's ability to achieve its goals are:

|X|  the impact of strong competition in the food industry;

|X|  the impact of changes in consumer demand;

|X|  the impact of weather on the volume and quality of raw product;

|X|  the  inherent  risks  in  the  marketplace   associated  with  new  product
     introductions, including uncertainties about trade and consumer acceptance;

|X|  the  continuation of the  Cooperative's  success in integrating  operations
     (including the  realization of anticipated  synergies in operations and the
     timing of any such  synergies),  and the  availability  of acquisition  and
     alliance opportunities;

|X|  the Cooperative's ability to achieve gains in productivity and improvements
     in capacity utilization; and

|X|  the Cooperative's ability to service debt.

       CHANGES FROM FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2001 TO FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2000

Net income for the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 showed a decline as compared to
the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  However,  net sales from continuing  segments
increased $36.2 million, or 13.6 percent. Approximately $10.7 million of the net
sales  improvement was  attributable to an increase in frozen  vegetable  sales,
while an additional $21.5 million was associated with various co-pack agreements
into which Agrilink Foods has recently  entered.  In the first quarter of fiscal
2001,  Agrilink Foods also  experienced an increase in its  manufacturing  costs
associated  with lower than  anticipated  crop intake in the eastern part of the
country  and  experienced  an  increase of $2.1  million in  administrative  and
general expenses.  This increase was primarily  associated with an investment in
its  infrastructure  development  and the  timing  of  various  promotional  and
marketing efforts.  Administrative  and general expense at AgriFrozen,  however,
declined  by $1.8  million  due  primarily  to  various  consolidation  efforts.
Management  continues to focus efforts on cost savings initiatives to reduce its
overall spending and improve profitability.

Management  also utilizes an evaluation of EBITDA from continuing  segments,  as
presented on page 11 as a measure of  performance.  Excluding  businesses  sold,
EBITDA from continuing  segments  increased $0.1 million to $32.3 million in the
first quarter of the

<PAGE>


current  fiscal year from $32.2 million in the first quarter of the prior fiscal
year. A detailed  accounting of the significant reasons for changes in net sales
and EBITDA by product line follows.

Vegetable  sales  increased  $34.9  million  or 18.3  percent.  This  growth  is
primarily  attributable  to a $7.7 million  increase in sales in Agrilink Foods'
branded frozen vegetables primarily within the Birds Eye brand. For the 12 weeks
ended  September  17,  2000,  the total  frozen  vegetable  category  unit sales
percentage change versus a year ago, as reported by Information  Resources Inc.,
is down 2.1 percent. The Birds Eye brand unit volume in the same timeframe is up
5.0 percentage  points while the category leader is down 7.5 percentage  points.
The Birds Eye brand unit share change in the same timeframe is up 1.0 percentage
points, the category leader is down 1.1 percentage  points. In addition,  volume
improvements in private label and food service accounted for $2.0 million of the
quarterly  increase.  Further,  various  Agrilink Foods' co-pack  agreements for
canned  vegetables  in the  Midwest and for  pickles in the  Northwest  in total
accounted for $21.5  million.  While these co-pack  agreements  typically  yield
lower margins than  Agrilink  Foods' other  product  lines,  they do provide for
greater utilization of manufacturing facilities. Although vegetables experienced
an  increase  in net sales,  EBITDA  decreased  $1.5  million,  including a $2.0
million  decrease  at  Agrilink  Foods  offset  by a $0.5  million  increase  at
AgriFrozen.  The  reduction at Agrilink  Foods is  attributable  to  competitive
pressures   experienced  within  the  non-branded  segment  of  Agrilink  Foods'
businesses,  which has resulted in lower  margins.  In addition,  as highlighted
above, Agrilink Foods has experienced an increase in its manufacturing costs and
various selling, administrative,  and general expenses which negatively impacted
the results of the  vegetable  product line in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
Further,  the  improvement in EBITDA at AgriFrozen of $0.5 million  results from
that entity's loss of $3.9 million being reflected as a reduction in CMV payable
to the Class B AgriFrozen Growers.  In accordance with the AgriFrozen  Marketing
Agreement,  in the event  AgriFrozen  experiences  any losses,  AgriFrozen  will
deduct the losses from the total CMV payable.  Such  earnings  and/or losses are
determined at the end of the fiscal year, but are accrued on an estimated  basis
during the year.

Net sales for the fruit product line  increased  $2.2  million,  or 9.4 percent,
while EBITDA increased $0.7 million,  or 18.9 percent.  These  improvements were
primarily  the  result  of  increased  branded  volume  in this  category  which
typically yield higher margins.

Net sales for the snack product line  increased  $2.0  million,  or 9.3 percent,
primarily due to increased volume within the potato chip category.  Accordingly,
EBITDA also showed improvements of $0.4 million, or 16.7 percent. EBITDA further
benefited from lower  packaging  costs and the impact in fiscal 2000 of residual
strike related costs at the Cooperative's Snyder of Berlin facility. This matter
was settled in July 2000, and management believes its current  relationship with
these employees is good.

Net sales for canned meals  decreased  $0.9  million,  or 5.4 percent.  However,
EBITDA increased $0.5 million from $2.3 million to $2.8 million. The increase in
EBITDA primarily  resulted from changes in product mix and the timing of various
promotional programs.

The other product line,  which  primarily  represents  dressings,  experienced a
decrease  in net sales of  approximately  $2.0  million,  or 13.6  percent,  due
primarily to a decline in unit volume  associated with a private label customer.
EBITDA, however,  remained consistent as the decrease in private label sales was
offset with  branded  sales at a higher  margin.  In addition,  the  Cooperative
benefited from reductions in product costs, primarily due to oils.

Operating  Income:  Excluding the impact of businesses  sold,  operating  income
decreased  from  $22.1  million  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  2000 to $21.6
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.  This represents a decrease of $0.5
million or 2.3  percent.  Significant  variances  are  highlighted  above in the
discussion of EBITDA and net sales from continuing segments.

Selling,  Administrative,  and General Expenses:  Selling,  administrative,  and
general expenses have increased $0.3 million,  or 0.5 percent,  as compared with
the first  quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Agrilink  Foods  accounts for $2.1
million  of the  increase  and,  as  noted  above,  the  increase  is  primarily
attributable to an investment in the Agrilink Foods' infrastructure  development
and information system needs,  along with the timing of various  promotional and
marketing  efforts.  This increase was offset by a decline at AgriFrozen of $1.8
million due primarily to restructuring and consolidation efforts.

Income from Joint Venture:  This amount  represents  earnings  received from the
investment in Great Lakes Kraut LLC, a joint venture between  Agrilink Foods and
Flanagan  Brothers,  Inc. Earnings from the joint venture decreased $0.2 million
as  compared  to the prior  year and is the  result of changes in sales mix to a
greater percentage of industrial sales versus branded product sales.  Management
expects this trend to reverse during the second quarter.

Interest  Expense:  Interest expense  increased $0.9 million to $21.5 million in
the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001 from $20.6  million in the first  quarter of
fiscal  2000.  The  increase  was due to an  increase  in the  weighted  average
interest  rate of 0.50  percent.  This  increase  was  offset  by lower  average
outstanding  balances during the quarter of  approximately  $37.3 million due to
<PAGE>
timing of working capital requirements,  primarily within inventory. The Company
has focused  efforts  during the first quarter on inventory  reduction to reduce
its seasonal borrowings.

Tax Provision: The provision for taxes decreased $0.2 million to $0.8 million in
the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001 from $1.0  million  in the first  quarter of
fiscal  2000  and was  impacted  by the  change  in  earnings  before  tax.  The
Cooperative's  effective tax rate is impacted by the net proceeds distributed to
members and the non-deductibility of certain amounts of goodwill.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  following  discussion  highlights  the major  variances  in the  "Unaudited
Consolidated  Statement  of Cash  Flows" for the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

Net cash used in operating  activities  decreased  $14.7  million over the first
quarter  of the prior  fiscal  year.  This  decrease  primarily  results  from a
decrease in inventories  due to both  management  efforts to reduce  outstanding
inventory  levels and the late  harvesting  of crops in the eastern  part of the
country as a result of weather  conditions  offset by variances  within accounts
payable  and other  accruals  due to the timing of  liquidation  of  outstanding
balances.

Net cash used in  investing  activities  in the  first  quarter  of fiscal  2001
decreased  $5.2  million from the first  quarter of fiscal 2000.  The change was
primarily  a result of $5.0  million  in  proceeds  received  in fiscal  2001 in
conjunction with the sale of pickle  machinery and equipment.  See NOTE 3 to the
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $22.9 million.  This was due
to a decline in the net cash used in operating  activities  as  described  above
which  resulted  in a decrease  in the  short-term  borrowing  requirements.  In
addition,  the  increase  in  payments on  long-term  debt was  impacted by $3.2
million  of  mandatory  prepayments  in  fiscal  2001 as a result of the sale of
pickle equipment and $2.5 million was attributable to required repayments.

AGRILINK FOODS DEBT

Borrowings:  Under Agrilink Foods' existing credit  facility,  Agrilink Foods is
able to borrow up to $200 million for seasonal  working  capital  purposes under
the  Revolving  Credit  Facility.  The  Revolving  Credit  Facility  may also be
utilized in the form of letters of credit.

As of September 23, 2000, (i) cash  borrowings  outstanding  under the Revolving
Credit Facility were $99.0 million,  (ii) there were $15.9 million in letters of
credit outstanding, and (iii) additional availability under the Revolving Credit
Facility,  after  taking into  account the amount of  borrowings  and letters of
credit  outstanding,  was $85.1  million.  Agrilink Foods believes that the cash
flow  generated by  operations  and the amounts  available  under the  Revolving
Credit  Facility  provide  adequate  liquidity to fund working capital needs and
capital expenditures.

Certain  financing  arrangements  require that  Pro-Fac and Agrilink  Foods meet
certain  financial  tests and ratios and comply with  certain  restrictions  and
limitations.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, Agrilink Foods negotiated
an amendment to the covenants outlined under its credit facility.  Refer to NOTE
6 of  the  "Consolidated  Financial  Statements"  for  further  details.  As  of
September  23,  2000,  Pro-Fac and  Agrilink  Foods are in  compliance  with all
covenants,  restrictions, and limitations under the terms of the credit facility
as amended.

AGRIFROZEN DEBT

Borrowings: Under AgriFrozen's CoBank Credit Facility, AgriFrozen is able, under
certain  conditions,  to borrow up to $50.0 million for seasonal working capital
purposes under the CoBank Revolving  Credit Facility.  As of September 23, 2000,
(i) cash borrowings  outstanding under the CoBank Revolving Credit Facility were
$44.8  million,  and (ii)  additional  availability  under the CoBank  Revolving
Credit  Facility,  after taking into account the amount of borrowings,  was $5.2
million.  The CoBank  Revolving  Credit  Facility  requires that AgriFrozen meet
certain  financial  tests and ratios and comply with  certain  restrictions  and
limitations.

CoBank  has  verbally  agreed to  forbear  from  enforcing  right or  exercising
remedies in respect of existing  noncompliance  with certain financial tests and
ratios and existing  noncompliance  with certain  restrictions  and limitations.
Such forbearance is for an indefinite  duration and could be withdrawn by CoBank
at any time.  AgriFrozen continues its negotiations with CoBank concerning these
areas of  negotiations,  and to increase  the  borrowing  limit under the CoBank
Revolving Credit Facility. In light of these circumstances,

<PAGE>


there can be no assurance  that the cash flow  generated by  operations  and the
amounts  available  under the CoBank  Revolving  Credit  Facility  will  provide
adequate liquidity to fund the working capital needs and capital expenditures of
AgriFrozen.

AgriFrozen's obligations are not guaranteed by Pro-Fac or Agrilink Foods and are
expressly  nonrecourse as to Pro-Fac and Agrilink Foods. As such,  these current
circumstances of AgriFrozen's debt and liquidity will not affect the business of
Pro-Fac or Agrilink Foods.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Cooperative and its subsidiaries, as a result of its operating and financing
activities,  is exposed to changes in foreign currency  exchange rates,  certain
commodity prices,  and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of
operations and financial position. In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs
associated with such activities, the Cooperative,  through its subsidiaries, may
enter into derivative contracts.

Foreign  Currency:  Agrilink  Foods  manages its foreign  currency  related risk
primarily through the use of foreign currency forward  contracts.  The contracts
held by Agrilink Foods are denominated in Mexican pesos.

Agrilink  Foods has entered into foreign  currency  forward  contracts  that are
designated  as cash flow  hedges of  exchange  rate risk  related to  forecasted
foreign  currency-denominated  intercompany  sales. During fiscal 2000, Agrilink
Foods  entered  into cash flow hedges for the Mexican peso with  maturity  dates
ranging from July 2000 to April 2001. At September  23, 2000,  the fair value of
the  open  contracts  was  an  after-tax  gain  of  $0.2  million,  recorded  in
accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder's equity. Amounts deferred
to accumulated  other  comprehensive  income will be  reclassified  into cost of
goods sold within the next 12 months.  During the first  quarter of fiscal 2001,
approximately $0.3 million was reclassified from other  comprehensive  income to
cost of goods sold. Hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant.

Weighted average settlement exchange rate          10.3579%

Commodity  Prices:  Agrilink Foods is exposed to commodity price risk related to
forecasted  purchases of soybean oil, an ingredient in the  manufacture of salad
dressings and  mayonnaise.  To mitigate  this risk,  Agrilink  Foods  designates
soybean oil forward contracts as cash flow hedges of its forecasted  soybean oil
purchases.  At September 23, 2000, Agrilink Foods had open soybean oil contracts
hedging  approximately 70 percent of its planned soybean oil requirements during
fiscal 2001. The fair value of these open contracts was $64,800 at September 23,
2000.  During the first  quarter of fiscal  2001,  an  immaterial  loss on these
contracts  was  recorded in cost of goods  sold.  All open  contracts  mature by
January 2001.

Agrilink  Foods is  exposed  to  commodity  price  risk  related  to  forecasted
purchases of corrugated (unbleached kraftliner) in its manufacturing process. To
mitigate this risk,  Agrilink  Foods  designates a swap agreement as a cash flow
hedge of its forecasted  corrugated  purchases.  At September 23, 2000, Agrilink
Foods  had an  open  swap  hedging  approximately  80  percent  of  its  planned
corrugated  requirements.  The fair value of this  agreement  was  immaterial at
September 23, 2000. The termination date for the agreement is June 2001.

Average receive rate          Floating rate/short ton - $475
Maturities through            June 2001

Interest  Rates:  The  Cooperative  is exposed to interest  rate risk  primarily
through its borrowing  activities.  The majority of the Cooperative's  long-term
borrowings  are variable  rate  instruments.  The  Cooperative  entered into two
interest rate swap contracts under which the Cooperative agrees to pay an amount
equal to a specified fixed rate of interest times a notional  principal  amount,
and to  receive  in return  an  amount  equal to a  specified  variable  rate of
interest times the same notional  principal amount.  The notional amounts of the
contract are not exchanged and no other cash payments are made. The two interest
rate swap  contracts  were entered into with a major  financial  institution  in
order to minimize credit risk.

The first  interest  rate swap  contract  required  payment  of a fixed  rate of
interest  (4.96  percent)  and the  receiving  of a  variable  rate of  interest
(three-month  LIBOR of 6.77  percent as of  September  23, 2000) on $150 million
notional amount of indebtedness.  Agrilink Foods had a second interest rate swap
contract to pay a fixed rate of interest  (5.32  percent) and receive a variable
rate of interest (three-month LIBOR of 6.77 percent as of September 23, 2000) on
$100 million  notional amount of  indebtedness.  Approximately 59 percent of the
underlying debt is being hedged with these interest rate swaps.

Agrilink Foods designates these interest rate swap contacts as cash flow hedges.
At September 23, 2000,  the fair value of the contracts was an after-tax gain of
$2.1  million,   recorded  in   accumulated   other   comprehensive   income  in
shareholders' equity.

To the  extent  that any of these  contracts  are not  considered  effective  in
offsetting the change in the value of the interest  payments  being hedged,  any
changes in fair value relating to the ineffective  portion of these contacts are
immediately  recognized  in  income.  However,  the  net  gain  or  loss  on the
ineffective  portion of these  interest  rate swap  contracts  was not  material
during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Amounts deferred to other comprehensive
income will be  reclassified  into  interest  expense  over the life of the swap
contracts.

The following is a summary Agrilink Foods' interest rate swap agreements:

                                                      September 23, 2000
Interest Rate Swap:
Variable to Fixed - notional amount                      $250,000,000
   Average pay rate                                      4.96 - 5.32%
   Average receive rate                              Floating rate - 6.77%
   Maturities through                                        2001

Although it is possible that interest  rates will decrease and thereby  minimize
the benefits of the hedge position,  Agrilink Foods believes that on a long-term
basis the  possibility of interest rates exceeding the interest rate swap is not
likely.  Agrilink Foods will,  however,  monitor market conditions to adjust its

Restructuring:  During the third  quarter of fiscal 1999,  Agrilink  Foods began
implementation of a corporate-wide restructuring program. The overall objectives
of the plan  were to  reduce  expenses,  improve  productivity,  and  streamline
operations.  The total  restructuring  charge  amounted to $5.0  million and was
primarily comprised of employee  termination  benefits.  Efforts have focused on
the  consolidation  of operating  functions and the elimination of approximately
five percent of the work force.  Reductions in personnel include operational and
administrative positions and have improved annual earnings by approximately $8.0
million.  Through  September  23,  2000,  $4.3  million of this  charge has been
liquidated  and the remaining  termination  benefits  will be liquidated  during
fiscal 2001.

Short- and Long-Term  Trends:  The vegetable and fruit  portions of the business
can be positively or negatively  affected by weather  conditions  nationally and
the resulting impact on crop yields.  Favorable  weather  conditions can produce
high crop yields and an oversupply situation.  This results in depressed selling
prices and reduced  profitability  on the  inventory  produced  from that year's
crops.  Excessive  rain or drought  conditions can produce low crop yields and a
shortage  situation.  This  typically  results  in  higher  selling  prices  and
increased  profitability.  While the  national  supply  situation  controls  the
pricing, the supply can differ regionally because of variations in weather.

The effect of the 2000 growing season on fiscal 2001 financial results cannot be
estimated until late 2000 or early calendar 2001 when harvesting is complete and
when local and national supplies can be determined.
