(1)      Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of B&G
         Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") contain all adjustments
         (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to
         present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June
         30, 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
         the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 30, 2001 and July
         1, 2000.

         The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods
         ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
         financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2000 Annual
         Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)      Accounting Pronouncements

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task
         Force ("EITF") has reached a consensus with respect to Issue No. 00-14,
         "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," including point of sale
         coupons, rebates and free merchandise. The consensus included a
         conclusion that the value of such sales incentives that result in a
         reduction of the price paid by the customer should be netted against
         revenue and not classified as a sales or marketing expense. The Company
         currently records reductions in price pursuant to coupons as sales,
         marketing and distribution expenses. Upon the implementation of the
         EITF consensus, which is required in the first quarter of fiscal 2002,
         the Company will reclassify current and prior period coupon expense as
         a reduction of net sales. Coupon expense was $0.8 million and $1.1
         million for the twenty-six week periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1,
         2000, respectively. The implementation of the EITF consensus will
         effect classification of expenses in the consolidated statements of
         operations, but will not have any effect on the Company's net income.
         The Company includes free merchandise in cost of goods sold as required
         by the new EITF consensus.

         In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company adopted the
         provisions of the FASB's EITF Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting For Shipping
         and Handling Fees and Costs," which requires the Company to report all
         amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue,
         including those amounts related to shipping and handling. The Company
         has historically included such amounts in sales as required by the
         EITF. Prior to such adoption, however, shipping and handling costs were
         included in sales, marketing and distribution expenses. In connection
         with the adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-10, the Company has reclassified
         shipping and handling costs to cost of goods sold in its consolidated
         statement of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods
         ended July 1, 2000. As a result of this reclassification, previously
         reported cost of goods sold increased and sales, marketing and
         distribution expenses were decreased by $3.5 million and $7.3 million
         for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 1, 2000,
         respectively.

         In April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to EITF Issue
         No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration
         to a Purchaser of the Vendor's Products or


                                       5

         Services." The consensus included a conclusion that consideration from
         a vendor to a retailer is presumed to be a reduction to the selling
         prices of the vendor's products and, therefore, should be characterized
         as a reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor's income
         statement. That presumption can be overcome, and the consideration may
         be characterized as a cost, if certain conditions are met. Upon
         implementation of the EITF consensus, which is required in the first
         quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company will reclassify certain current and
         prior period expenses as a reduction of net sales. The Company is
         currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this EITF consensus.


(3)      Nature of Operations and Business Dispositions

         Nature of Operations

         The Company operates in one industry segment, the manufacturing,
         marketing and distribution of branded, shelf-stable food products. The
         Company's products include pickles, peppers, jams and jellies, canned
         meats and beans, spices, syrups, hot sauces, maple syrup, salad
         dressings and other specialty food products which are sold to retailers
         and food service establishments. The Company distributes these products
         to retailers in the greater New York metropolitan area through a
         direct-store-organization sales and distribution system and elsewhere
         in the United States through a nationwide network of independent
         brokers and distributors.

         Sales of a number of the Company's products tend to be seasonal;
         however, in the aggregate, the Company's sales are not heavily weighted
         to any particular quarter. The Company purchases most of the produce
         used to make its shelf-stable pickles, relishes, peppers, olives and
         other related specialty items during the months of July through
         October, and it purchases all of its maple syrup requirements during
         the months of April through July. Consequently, its liquidity needs are
         greatest during these periods.

         Business Dispositions

         On January 17, 2001, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned
         subsidiary, Burns & Ricker, Inc. ("Burns & Ricker"), to Nonni's Food
         Company, Inc. ("Nonni's") (the "B&R Disposition") pursuant to a stock
         purchase agreement of the same date under which the Company sold all of
         the issued and outstanding capital stock of Burns & Ricker to Nonni's
         for $26.0 million in cash. The gain on the sale, net of transaction
         expenses, was approximately $3.1 million. The Company applied the net
         cash proceeds from the sale of Burns & Ricker toward the partial
         prepayment of term loans, as required under the Company's Senior
         Secured Credit Facility. See Note 5 below.

                                            =============       =============


(5)      Debt

         The Company has outstanding $120,000 of 9.625% Senior Subordinated
         Notes (the "Notes") due August 1, 2007 with interest payable
         semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Notes contain
         certain transfer restrictions.

         The Company is a party to a $280,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility
         (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") comprised of a $60,000 five-year
         revolving credit facility, a $70,000 five-year Term Loan A ("Term Loan
         A") and a $150,000 seven-year Term Loan B ("Term Loan B," and together
         with Term Loan A, the "Term Loan Facilities"). Interest is determined
         based on several alternative rates as stipulated in the Senior Secured
         Credit Facility, including the base lending rate per annum plus an
         applicable margin, or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Senior
         Secured Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the
         Company's assets. The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for
         mandatory prepayment requirements based on asset dispositions and
         issuance of securities, as defined. The Senior Secured Credit Facility
         contains covenants that will restrict, among other things, the ability
         of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and
         create certain liens. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains
         certain financial covenants, which, among other things, specify maximum
         capital expenditure limits, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a
         minimum total interest coverage ratio and a maximum indebtedness to
         EBITDA ratio, each ratio as defined. Proceeds of the Senior Secured
         Credit Facility are restricted to funding the Company's working capital
         requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions of companies in the
         same line of business as the Company, subject to certain criteria. The
         Senior Secured Credit Facility limits expenditures on acquisitions to
         $40,000 per year. There were no borrowings outstanding under the
         revolving credit facility at June 30, 2001.


(6)      Environmental Matters

         On January 17, 2001, the Company became aware that fuel oil from its
         underground storage tank at its Roseland, New Jersey facility had been
         released into the ground and a brook adjacent to such property. The New
         Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") initially
         engaged an environmental services firm to address the clean-up of the
         oil in the brook; and, with the approval of the NJDEP, the Company
         retained such environmental services firm on January 18, 2001 for the
         same purpose. In addition, the Company hired another environmental
         services

         firm to address the on-site oil impact to subsurface soils. Since
         January 17, 2001, the Company and its environmental services firms have
         been working to clean up the oil and are cooperating with the NJDEP.

         Management believes substantial progress has been made toward the
         clean-up of the oil. The Company will continue monitoring the fuel tank
         readings, sampling sediment and surface water for evidence of any new
         leaks and related clean-up and monitoring activities. The Company
         recorded a charge of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
         to cover the expected cost of the clean-up. The actual expenses
         incurred to date relating to the clean-up of the oil spill are $1.0
         million. Management believes that substantially all estimated expenses
         relating to this matter have been incurred as of June 30, 2001 and,
         therefore, the $1.1 million accrual continues to represent the best
         estimate of such expenses. However, depending on the results of further
         monitoring and sampling, the Company's estimate could change in the
         near term. Future information and developments may require the Company
         to continually reassess the expected impact of this matter.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Results of Operations

         13 week period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 13 week period ended
July 1, 2000.

         Net Sales. Net sales decreased $7.7 million or 8.0% to $88.1 million
for the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2001 (the "2001 Quarterly Period")
from $95.8 million for the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2000 (the "2000
Quarterly Period"). The B&R Disposition accounted for $6.8 million of the sales
decrease on a comparative basis. The Company's new line of Emeril's Original
branded products produced $4.6 million in sales. Sales of the Company's Maple
Grove Farms of Vermont brands, Ac'cent brand and Sason brands increased $0.4
million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million or 3.7%, 4.3% and 16.2%, respectively.
Sales of the Company's Las Palmas brand, Polaner brands, B&M Baked Beans,
Vermont Maid Syrups and Underwood brands decreased $1.7 million, $1.4 million,
$0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million or 25.9%, 11.5%, 4.3%, 42.8% and
0.6%, respectively. Sales of the Company's other brands collectively decreased
$1.2 million or 4.6%. The decline of certain brands is partially due to a
decision by management to reduce trade spending (see below).

         Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $4.1 million or 9.8% to $38.2
million for the 2001 Quarterly Period from $42.3 million in the 2000 Quarterly
Period, primarily due to the decrease in net sales. Gross profit expressed as a
percentage of net sales decreased 0.8% to 43.4% for the 2001 Quarterly Period
from 44.2% in the 2000 Quarterly Period. Increased freight costs accounted for
0.6% of the 0.8% decrease. The remaining decrease of 0.2% related to increased
costs in the Underwood and Las Palmas brands.

         Sales, Marketing and Distribution Expenses. Sales, marketing and
distribution expenses decreased $3.8 million or 14.0% to $23.4 million in the
2001 Quarterly Period from $27.2 million in the 2000 Quarterly Period. Such
expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.6% in the 2001
Quarterly Period from 28.4% in the 2000 Quarterly Period. The decrease is
primarily due to a decision by management to reduce trade spending. Trade
promotion spending expenses decreased $2.5 million or 13.6%. Trade promotion
spending as a percentage of sales decreased to 18.2% in the 2001 Quarterly
Period from 19.4% in the 2000 Quarterly Period. Coupon and advertising expenses
decreased $1.0 million or 58.7%. Distribution expenses decreased $0.1 million or
8.0%. All other expenses collectively decreased $0.2 million or 0.5%.

         General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses (including amortization of intangibles and management fees) increased
$0.4 million or 11.3% to $3.7 million in the 2001 Quarterly Period from $3.4
million in the 2000 Quarterly Period. A decrease in amortization of certain
intangibles in the amount of $0.2 million disposed of in the B&R Disposition was
offset by an increase in operating expenses of $0.6 million in the 2001
Quarterly Period.

         Special Charge-Severance. During the 2000 Quarterly Period, the Company
recorded a severance charge of $0.3 million. As part of the severance
arrangements, 13 employees were terminated.

         Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income
decreased $0.5 million or 4.0% to $11.1 million for the 2001 Quarterly Period
from $11.5 million for the 2000 Quarterly Period. Operating income expressed as
a percentage of net sales increased to 12.6% in the 2001 Quarterly Period from
12.0% in the 2000 Quarterly Period.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.6 million to $7.5
million for the 2001 Quarterly Period from $9.1 million in the 2000 Quarterly
Period as a result of lower outstanding loan balances in the 2001 Quarterly
Period resulting from the partial prepayment of the term loans required in
connection with the B&R Disposition and reduced interest rates.


         Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the 2001 Quarterly Period
was $1.8 million as compared to $1.2 million in the 2000 Quarterly Period. The
Company's effective tax rate for the 2001 Quarterly Period was 52.1% as compared
to 52.0% in the 2000 Quarterly Period.

         Because of the highly leveraged status of the Company, earnings before
severance charges, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted
EBITDA") is an important performance measure used by the Company and its
stockholders. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional
information for determining its ability to meet future debt service
requirements. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not indicative of operating income or
cash flow from operations as determined under generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen weeks ended June 30,
2001 and July 1, 2000 is calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

         26 week period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 26 week period ended
July 1, 2000.

         Net Sales. Net sales decreased $9.1 million or 5.4% to $160.0 million
for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 2001 (the "2001 Year-to-Date
Period") from $169.2 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2000
(the "2000 Year-to-Date Period"). The B&R Disposition accounted for $11.3
million of the sales decrease on a comparative basis. The Company's new line of
Emeril's Original branded products produced $8.2 million in sales. Sales of the
Company's Sason branded flavor enhancers, Ac'cent branded flavor enhancers, B&G
branded pickles and peppers and Maple Grove Farms of Vermont increased $0.8
million, $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million or 39.0%, 10.6%, 2.9% and
3.8%, respectively. Sales of the Company's Polaner brands, Underwood brands, Las
Palmas brand, Joan of Arc brands and B&M Baked Beans brand decreased $2.4
million, $2.3 million, $1.5 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million or 9.8%,
18.1%, 13.8%, 16.8% and 3.6%, respectively. Sales of the Company's other brands
collectively decreased $1.2 million or 5.7%. The decline of certain brands is
partially due to a decision by management to reduce trade spending (see below).

         Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $5.9 million or 7.9% to $68.3
million for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period from $74.2 million in the 2000
Year-to-Date Period, primarily due to the decrease in net sales. Gross profit
expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased 1.2% to 42.7% for the 2001
Year-to-Date Period from 43.9% in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period. The decrease in
gross profit percentage included higher purchase costs of the Underwood and Las
Palmas brands and a shift in the mix of sales


                                       10

of certain brands including the fact that Burns & Ricker branded products are no
longer in the mix of products sold by the Company.

         Sales, Marketing and Distribution Expenses. Sales, marketing and
distribution expenses decreased $6.2 million or 13.0% to $41.8 million in the
2001 Year-to-Date Period from $48.1 million in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period.
Such expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.1% in the
2001 Year-to-Date Period from 28.4% in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period. The
decrease is primarily due to a decision by management to reduce trade spending.
Trade promotion spending decreased $3.3 million or 10.3%. Trade promotion
spending as a percentage of sales decreased to 17.6% in the 2001 Year-to-Date
Period from 18.6% in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period. Coupon and advertising
expenses decreased $1.7 million or 58.3%. Distribution expenses decreased $0.4
million or 14.7%. All other expenses collectively decreased $0.8 million or
1.7%.

         General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses (including amortization of intangibles and management fees) increased
$0.4 million or 6.0% to $7.4 million in the 2001 Year-to-Date Period from $6.9
million in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period. A decrease in amortization of certain
intangibles in the amount of $0.5 million disposed of in the B&R Disposition was
offset by an increase in operating expenses of $0.9 million in the 2001
Year-to-Date Period.

         Special Charge-Severance. During the 2000 Year-to-Date Period, the
Company recorded a severance charge of $0.3 million. As part of the severance
arrangements, 13 employees were terminated.

         Special Charge-Environmental Clean-Up. As further described below, the
Company recorded a charge of $1.1 million in the 2001 Year-to-Date Period.

         Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income
decreased $0.9 million or 4.8% to $18.1 million for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period
from $19.0 million for the 2000 Year-to-Date Period. Operating income expressed
as a percentage of net sales increased to 11.3% in the 2001 Year-to-Date Period
from 11.2% in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period.

         Gain of Sale of Assets. As further described in Note 3 of the
consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a $3.1 million gain on
the B&R Disposition.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.7 million to $16.0
million for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period from $17.8 million in the 2000
Year-to-Date Period as a result of lower outstanding loan balances in the 2001
Year-to-Date Period as a result of the partial prepayment of the term loans
required in connection with the B&R Disposition and reduced interest rates.

         Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period
was $2.8 million as compared to $0.6 million in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period.
The Company's effective tax rate for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period was 55.2% as
compared to 52.0% in the 2000 Year-to-Date Period.

         Because of the highly leveraged status of the Company, earnings before

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

         Cash provided by operating activities decreased $3.7 million to $6.2
million for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period from $9.9 million in the 2000
Year-to-Date Period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in receivables,
as a result of a decrease in days sales outstanding and trade accounts payable
offset by an increase in inventory. Working capital at June 30, 2001 was $48.9
million, a decrease of $20.1 million over working capital at December 30, 2000
of $69.0 million. The decrease in working capital was due to the sale of assets
in connection with the B&R Disposition. In addition, there were decreases in
cash, receivables and accounts payable.

         Net cash provided by investing activities for the 2001 Year-to-Date
Period was $22.9 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$3.9 million for the 2000 Year-to-Date Period. The increase is due to the
proceeds received from the B&R Disposition in the amount of $24.3 million.
Capital expenditures during the 2001 Year-to-Date Period of $1.2 million
included purchases of manufacturing and computer equipment and were $2.7 million
below the $3.9 million in similar capital expenditures for the 2000 Year-to-Date
Period.

         Net cash used in financing activities for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period
was $32.9 million as compared to $5.2 million for the 2000 Year-to-Date Period.
The net cash used by financing activities for the 2001 Year-to-Date Period
included payments of $13.9 million due on the Term Loan A and $18.9 million due
on the Term Loan B. These payments included a mandatory prepayment made in
January 2001 of $26.0 million required under the Senior Secured Credit Facility
in connection with the B&R Disposition.

Acquisitions

         The Company's liquidity and capital resources have been significantly
impacted by acquisitions and may be impacted in the foreseeable future by
additional acquisitions. The Company has historically financed acquisitions with
borrowings and cash flow from operations. The Company's future interest expense
is significant as a result of indebtedness the Company has incurred in
connection with its acquisitions, and will increase with any additional
indebtedness the Company may incur to finance future acquisitions, if any. To
the extent future acquisitions, if any, are financed by additional indebtedness,
the resulting increase in debt and interest expense could have a negative impact
on liquidity.

Special Charge-Environmental Clean-Up

         On January 17, 2001, the Company became aware that fuel oil from its
underground storage tank at its Roseland, New Jersey facility had been released
into the ground and a brook adjacent to such property. The New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") initially engaged an environmental
services firm to address the clean-up of the oil in the brook; and, with the
approval of the NJDEP, the Company retained such environmental services firm on
January 18, 2001 for the same purpose. In addition, the Company hired another
environmental services firm to address the on-site oil impact to subsurface
soils. Since January 17, 2001, the Company and its environmental services firms
have been working to clean-up the oil and are cooperating with the NJDEP.

         Management believes substantial progress has been made toward the
clean-up of the oil. The Company will continue monitoring the fuel tank
readings, sampling sediment and surface water for evidence of any new leaks and
related clean-up and monitoring activities. The Company recorded a charge of
$1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to cover the expected cost of
the clean-up. The actual expenses incurred to date relating to the clean-up of
the oil spill are $1.0 million. Management believes that substantially all
estimated expenses relating to this matter have been incurred as of June 30,
2001 and, therefore, the $1.1 million accrual continues to represent the best
estimate of such expenses. However, depending on the results of further
monitoring and sampling, the Company's estimate could change in the near term.
Future information and developments require the Company to continually reassess
the expected impact of this matter.

Debt

         The Company has outstanding $120,000 of 9.625% Senior Subordinated
Notes (the "Notes") due August 1, 2007 with interest payable semiannually on
February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Notes contain certain transfer
restrictions.

         The Company is a party to a $280,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility
comprised of a $60,000 five-year revolving credit facility, a $70,000 five-year
Term Loan A and a $150,000 seven-year Term Loan B. Interest is determined based
on several alternative rates as stipulated in the Senior Secured Credit
Facility, including the base lending rate per annum plus an applicable margin,
or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Senior Secured Credit
Facility provides for mandatory prepayment requirements based on asset
dispositions and issuance of securities, as defined. The Senior Secured Credit
Facility contains covenants that will restrict, among other things, the ability
of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and create
certain liens. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains certain
financial covenants, which, among other things, specify maximum capital
expenditure limits, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum total
interest coverage ratio and a maximum indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, each ratio
as defined. Proceeds of the Senior Secured Credit Facility are


                                       13


<PAGE>


restricted to funding the Company's working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and acquisitions of companies in the same line of business as the
Company, subject to certain criteria. The Senior Secured Credit Facility limits
expenditures on acquisitions to $40,000 per year. There were no borrowings
outstanding under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2001.

Future Capital Needs

         The Company is highly leveraged. On June 30, 2001, the Company's total
long-term debt (including current installments) and stockholder's equity was
$296.4 million and $59.1 million, respectively.

         The Company's primary sources of capital are cash flows from operations
and borrowings under a $60.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company's
primary capital requirements include debt service, capital expenditures, working
capital needs and financing for acquisitions. The Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash to fund its operations depends generally on the results of its
operations and the availability of financing. Management believes that cash flow
from operations in conjunction with the available borrowing capacity under the
revolving credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, of
approximately $58.7 million at June 30, 2001, and possible future debt financing
will be sufficient for the foreseeable future to meet debt service requirements,
make future acquisitions, if any, and fund capital expenditures. However, there
can be no assurance in this regard or that the terms available for any future
financing, if required, would be favorable to the Company.

Seasonality

         Sales of a number of the Company's products tend to be seasonal;
however, in the aggregate, the Company's sales are not heavily weighted to any
particular quarter. The Company purchases most of the produce used to make its
shelf-stable pickles, relishes, peppers, olives and other related specialty
items during the months of July through October, and it purchases all of its
maple syrup requirements during the months of April through July. Consequently,
its liquidity needs are greatest during these periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 standardizes the
accounting for derivative instruments by requiring that an entity recognize
derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure them at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Dates of FASB Statement No. 133 and Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133." SFAS No. 137 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133, requiring
implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. SFAS
No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities," was issued in June 2000 amending certain accounting and reporting
standards of SFAS No. 133. Management believes that the adoption of such revised
accounting and reporting standards on January 1, 2001 did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

         The FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") has reached, a consensus
with respect to Issue No. 00-14 "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives,"
including point of sale coupons, rebates and free merchandise. The consensus
included a conclusion that the value of such sales incentives that result in a
reduction of the price paid by the customer should be netted against revenue and
not classified as a sales or marketing expense. The Company currently records
reductions in price pursuant to coupons as sales,


                                       14


<PAGE>


marketing and distribution expenses. Upon the implementation of the EITF
consensus, which is required in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company
will reclassify current and prior period coupon expense as a reduction of net
sales. Coupon expense $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the twenty-six week
periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively. The implementation
of the EITF consensus will effect classification of expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations, but will not have any effect on the Company's net
income. The Company includes free merchandise in cost of goods sold as required
by the new EITF consensus.

         In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company adopted the
provisions of the FASB's EITF Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting For Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs," which requires the Company to report all amounts
billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue, including those amounts
related to shipping and handling. The Company has historically included such
amounts in sales as required by the EITF. Prior to such adoption, however,
shipping and handling costs were included in sales, marketing and distribution
expenses. In connection with the adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-10, the Company
has reclassified shipping and handling costs to cost of goods sold in its
consolidated statement of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ended July 1, 2000. As a result of this reclassification, previously
reported cost of goods sold increased and sales, marketing and distribution
expenses were decreased by $3.5 million and $7.3 million for the thirteen and
twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2000, respectively.

         In April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to EITF Issue
No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration to a
Purchaser of the Vendor's Products or Services." The consensus included a
conclusion that consideration from a vendor to a retailer is presumed to be a
reduction to the selling prices of the vendor's products and, therefore, should
be characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor's
income statement. That presumption can be overcome, and the consideration may be
characterized as a cost, if certain conditions are met. Upon implementation of
the EITF consensus, which is required in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the
Company will reclassify certain current and prior period expenses as a reduction
of net sales. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this
EITF consensus.

Forward-Looking Statements

         This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements in
this report regarding future events or conditions, including statements
regarding industry prospects and the Company's expected financial position,
business and financing plans, are forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the Company's expectations are disclosed in this report
as well as the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and include the
Company's substantial leverage, the risks associated with the expansion of the

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to market
risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Market risk is defined for
these purposes as the potential change in the fair value resulting from an
adverse movement in interest rates. As of June 30, 2001, the Company's only
variable rate borrowings were under the Term Loan Facilities which bear interest
at several alternative variable rates as stipulated in the Senior Secured Credit
Facility. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates, applied to the Company's
borrowings at June 30, 2001, would result in an annual increase in interest
expense and a corresponding reduction in cash-flow of approximately $1.8
million.
