                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company has discovered an error in the unit cost of one inventory item in
its standard cost system. This error affected the second quarter results for
2001. The miscalculation led to an overstatement of inventory value and an
understatement of cost of goods sold by $193,000. The revised Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations reflect a reduction in earnings of $141,000, net of a
related tax benefit of $52,000.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)

NOTE 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such interim
financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.

NOTE 2.  Subsequent Events

On June 29, 2001 the Company entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement
to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Virginia Honey
Company, Inc. ("Virginia Honey") from Terry W. Hess. Virginia Honey is a
manufacturer and distributor of honey, salad dressings, including its'
award-winning Vidalia(R) Onion Vinegarette salad dressing, sauces, jams &
jellies, and gift baskets. Virginia Honey operates two manufacturing facilities
in Inwood, West Virginia and Berryville, Virginia. Simultaneously with the
execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Terry W. Hess entered into an
employment agreement to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Virginia Honey.
The Company closed the acquisition in the third quarter 2001. The acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with the
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.'s 141 and 142.

NOTE 3.  Restatement of Financial Statements

The Company has discovered an error in the unit cost of one inventory item in
its standard cost system. This error affected the second quarter results for
2001. The miscalculation led to an overstatement of inventory value and an
understatement of cost of goods sold by $193,000. The revised Financial
Statements reflect a reduction in earnings of $141,000, net of a related tax
benefit of $52,000.

A comparison of the Company's financial position and results of operations prior
to and following restatement is as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2000

REVENUES. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $5,027,000,
compared to $4,757,000 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $270,000, or
5.7%. The breakdown of gross sales by product group was a 5% increase in sales
of salmon products, a 3% increase in sales of herring products, and a 5%
increase in the sale of other specialty products. The increase in sales was due
to targeted promotional programs. Salmon, herring, and specialty product sales
represented 50%, 44%, and 6% of the Company's total sales during this period,
respectively.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was
$1,346,000, compared to $1,260,000 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$86,000 or 6.8%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 26.8% in the
three months versus 26.5% in the same period in 2000, an increase of .3%. The
increase in gross margin was primarily due to increases in sales.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 were $1,409,000, compared to $1,334,000 for the same period
in 2000, an increase of $76,000 or 5.7%. As a percentage of net sales, selling,
marketing and administrative expenses remained at 28%, equivalent to the same
period in 2000. Selling, marketing, and distribution expenses decreased by
$10,000 or 1.1% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily
due to lower marketing costs offset partially by higher selling and distribution
costs. Administrative expenses for the period were $519,000 compared to $433,000
for the same period in 2000, an increase of $86,000, or 20.0%. The higher
administrative expenses were largely due to an increase in employment related
expenses and increased professional fees.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was
$76,000, compared to $89,000 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $13,000
or 14.4%. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates
compared to the same period in 2000.

INCOME TAXES. The Company provided for an income tax benefit of $52,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, the same as the income tax benefit in the
comparable period of 2000. As a percentage of pretax loss, the income tax
benefit was 34% in 2001 and 32% in 2000. The income tax benefits for each period
represent anticipated utilization of these tax benefits during the respective
fiscal years.

NET INCOME. As a result of the increases and decreases discussed above, net loss
for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $88,000 or $0.02 per share compared
to a net loss of $110,000 or $0.03 per share for the same period in 2000, a
decrease in net loss of $23,000 or $0.01 per share.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 2000

REVENUES. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $11,246,000,
compared to $10,976,000 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $271,000 or
2.5%. The increase in sales was due to targeted promotional programs. The
breakdown of gross sales by product group was a combination of a 6% increase in
sales of salmon products, a 3% decrease in sales of herring products, and a 5%
decrease in the sale of other specialty products. Salmon, herring, and specialty
product sales represented 47%, 46%, and 7% of the Company's total sales during
this period, respectively.

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
$3,039,000, compared to $2,959,000 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$80,000 or 2.7%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 27% for both the
current year and prior year period.


                                                                               8

OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 were $2,931,000, compared to $2,909,000 for the same period in
2000, an increase of $21,000 or 0.7%. As a percentage of net sales, selling,
marketing and administrative expenses decreased to 26.1% from 26.5% during the
same period in 2000. Selling, marketing, and distribution expense decreased
$63,000 or 3.2% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease in marketing expenses of $134,000 from the prior year
partially offset by an increase in selling expenses of $29,000, as a result of
increased sales and consequently, sales commissions payable, and an increase in
distribution expenses of $42,000. The decrease in marketing expenses was due to
the Company's decision to reduce its use of advertising and incentive deals in
favor of other methods of increasing sales as compared to the prior year.
Administrative expenses for the period were $1,037,000 compared to $953,000 for
the same period in 2000, an increase of $84,000, or 8.8%. The higher
administrative expenses were largely due to an increase in employment related
expenses and increased professional fees.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
$189,000, compared to $190,000 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,000
or 0.6%. This decrease was attributable to a combination of lower interest rates
compared to the same period in 2000, partially offset by higher average
borrowings.

INCOME TAXES. The Company provided for an income tax benefit of $52,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to an income tax benefit of $74,000 for
the same period in 2000. As a percentage of pretax loss, the income tax benefit
was 64% in 2001 and 53% in 2000. The income tax benefits for each period
represent anticipated utilization of these tax benefits during their respective
fiscal years coupled with an adjustment to revalue the deferred income tax
asset.

NET INCOME. As a result of the increases and decreases discussed above, net loss
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $29,000 or $0.01 per share compared
to a net loss of $67,000 or $0.02 per share for the same period in 2000, a
decrease in net loss of $37,000 or $0.01 per share.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 2001, the Company had $4,158,000 in working capital, compared to
$5,673,000 at December 31, 2000, a decrease of $1,515,000 or 26.7%. The decrease
was primarily attributable to the Company's typical slowdown following the
busiest quarter of the year. Accounts receivable and inventories are
substantially higher at the end of the fiscal year due to the very heavy fourth
quarter.

At June 30, 2001, the Company had $102,000 in cash and a revolving credit
facility of $5,250,000 and term facility of $1,500,000 with its lender, each of
which expire April 30, 2002. Amounts outstanding under the revolving facility
and the term facility at June 30, 2001 were $4,164,000 and $144,000,
respectively. The rate of interest on both facilities was the prime rate minus
0.5%, or LIBOR plus 2.20%. The facilities contain customary representations,
warranties, and covenants. At June 30, 2001, the Company was in compliance with
the covenants under its credit agreement.

Since December 31, 2000, the Company's current ratio remained the same at 2.7.
The ratio of long-term debt to total capitalization decreased to 57% from 63%,
primarily as a result of the payments made on the Company's bank credit
facility. The Company believes its financial resources are adequate to fund its
needs for the next twelve months.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by operating activities
was $1,897,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1,154,000
for the same period in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to higher
reductions in accounts receivable and inventory, and a lower reduction in
accounts payable partially offset by a higher reduction in accrued expenses as
compared to the prior year period.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in investing activities was
$411,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $232,000 for the
same period in 2000. The Company primarily used these funds to purchase
machinery and equipment for its manufacturing operations.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in financing activities was
$1,398,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $937,000 for the
same period in 2000, an increase of $461,000. The increase in


                                                                               9

net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the pay down of the
Company's revolving line of credit.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Virginia Honey
