NOTE 1 - GENERAL

   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
   interim condensed financial information of SFC New
   Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
   "Company") contains all adjustments, consisting only of those
   of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise indicated,
   necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position
   and results of operations.  All significant intercompany
   accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

   These financial statements are for interim periods and do not
   include all information normally provided in annual financial
   statements and should be read in conjunction with the
   financial statements of the Company for the year ended
   December 31, 1999 included in the annual report filed on Form
   10-K and any reports on Form 8-K filed during the current
   fiscal year.  The results of operations for interim periods
   are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
   expected for the full year.

   Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been
   reclassified to conform to the manner in which the 2000
   financial statements have been presented.


NOTE 2 - Inventories

   The components of inventories are as follows:

NOTE 3 -Divestitures

   During March 2000, the Company completed the sale of its
   subsidiary, Metz Baking Company ("Metz"), to the Earthgrains
   Company.  In addition, in April 1999, the Company sold its
   subsidiary, H&M Food Systems Company, Inc. ("H&M"), to IBP.
   These divestitures have been reported as discontinued
   operations in the accompanying financial statements in
   accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30.
   The net gain on disposal of discontinued operations reported
   in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
   relates to the sale of these subsidiaries.

   The net assets of Metz are reported as a single line item in
   the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for
   December 31, 1999 and the pre-divestiture operating results
   of Metz and H&M are reported in the discontinued operations
   section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements
   of Operations.  No interest expense has been allocated to
   discontinued operations.


NOTE 4 - Acquisitions

   On January 20, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of
   the Lew-Mark Baking Company for $23,100.  Lew-Mark Baking
   held the exclusive license to the Archway brand in the states
   of New York and New Jersey.  Its 1999 sales approximated
   $25,000.


NOTE 5 - Debt

   Concurrent with the Metz closing, the Company has paid in
   full amounts outstanding under the Revolving and Term Loan
   facilities totaling $265,611 and terminated these
   arrangements.  Additionally, in April 2000, the Company
   commenced offers to purchase, in two separate offers, (i) any
   and all of its $150,000 issue of 12 1/8% Senior Notes and
   (ii) $54,000 of its 11 1/4% Senior Notes. On May 15, 2000,
   the Company completed the tender offers and paid the
   following amounts:  (i) $149,905 of the 12 1/8% Senior Notes
   and (ii) $54,000 of the 11 1/4% Senior Notes on a pro rata
   basis.  Any notes not tendered or returned in the tender
   offers remain obligations of the Company and will continue to
   accrue interest and have all of the benefits of the indenture
   pursuant to which such notes were issued.

   Due to this early extinguishment of debt, the Company wrote
   off deferred debt issuance costs related to these debt
   instruments of $7,870 and $10,723, respectively, during the
   three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and recorded
   the write-off as an extraordinary item in the accompanying
   financial statements.

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


Seasonality

The Company's businesses are moderately seasonal with lower
sales, operating profit, and cash flows generally occurring in
the first quarter of the year.  This seasonality is due primarily
to higher cookie and specialty bread/cafe sales in the summer
months, as well as in the winter holiday season.


Results of Operations

COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER 2000 TO SECOND QUARTER 1999


Consolidated net sales from continuing operations decreased 1.6%
to $74.9 million in 2000 compared to $76.1 million in 1999.  The
decrease in net sales was primarily due to the Company's exit
from non-core cookie product lines.

The Company's gross profit margin percentage increased to 58.6%
in 2000 from 58.3% in 1999 principally due to favorable
commodities and product mix at Mother's/Archway.

Selling, distribution, and general and administrative ("SDG&A")
expenses decreased $3.5 million in 2000 to $40.1 million
primarily due to lower employee benefit and trade promotion cost
levels.

Interest expense, net decreased $9.7 million in 2000 to $13.6
million from $23.3 million in 1999.  The decrease resulted from:
(i) the payoff of the revolver and term loan and payments made on
the 12 1/8% and 11 1/4% Senior Note tender offers as discussed in
Note 5 and (ii) increased interest income in 2000.

As a result of the above factors, net loss from continuing
operations decreased to $11.7 million in 2000 compared to $34.3
million in 1999.

The Company reports minimal state income tax and no federal
income tax due to its net operating loss position for tax
purposes.

<PAGE> 8


  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999


Consolidated net sales from continuing operations decreased 0.6%
to $144.6 million in 2000 compared to $145.4 million in 1999. The
decrease in net sales was primarily due to the Company's exit
from non-core cookie product lines.

The Company's gross profit margin percentage increased to 57.8%
in 2000 from 57.4% in 1999 primarily due to lower commodity costs
and  a favorable product mix at Mother's/Archway.

Selling, distribution, and general and administrative expenses
decreased $4.6 million in 2000 to $78.9 million primarily due to
lower employee benefit and trade promotion cost levels.

Interest expense, net in 2000 decreased $7.4 million to $39.4
million from $46.8 million in 1999.  The decrease resulted from:
(i) the payoff of the revolver and term loan and payments made on
the 12 1/8% and 11 1/4% Senior Note tender offers as discussed in
Note 5 and (ii) increased interest income.

As a result of the above factors, net loss from continuing
operations decreased to $38.1 million in 2000 compared to $59.7
million in 1999.

The Company reports minimal state income tax and no federal
income tax due to its net operating loss position for tax
purposes.

Because of the highly leveraged status of the Company, earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA")
is an important performance measure used by the Company and its
stakeholders.  The Company believes that EBITDA provides
additional information for determining its ability to meet future
debt service requirements.  However, EBITDA is not indicative of
operating income or cash flow from operations as determined under
generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company's EBITDA
from continuing operations for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is calculated as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 totaled $68.7 million.  Net cash used by continuing
operating activities included seasonally high levels of cash pay
interest, the termination of the accounts receivable facility and
the related repurchase of Mother's and Archway's receivables, the
legal settlement with respect to the ongoing Cacique case and
amounts required to collateralize remaining letters of credit.
In 1999, cash used by operating activities of $62.1 million was
principally driven by interest, working capital requirements and
the cash requirements for discontinued operations.

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $543.0 million
in 2000 and is primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of
Metz, offset by the cost of the Lew-Mark Baking Company
acquisition and planned capital expenditures.  Net cash provided
by investing activities totaled $115.8 million in 1999 and is
primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of H&M, offset by
planned capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $470.0 million in
2000 due to payments made to terminate the Revolving Credit and
Term Loan facilities and payments made on the 12 1/8% and 11 1/4%
Senior Note tender offers. Net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $2.9 million in 1999 principally due to
increased revolver borrowings, offset by payments of debt
refinancing costs.

Based upon the above, the net increase in cash in 2000 and 1999
was $4.3 million and $56.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2000 the Company had a cash balance of $32.8
million.  Management believes that available funds should be
adequate for near-term operating needs.  However, there can be no
assurances that available funds will be adequate to meet such
needs.

As reported in the Form 8-K filed June 16, 2000, the Company
announced an agreement (the "Agreement") with the holders
("Holders") of a major portion of its 13 1/4% Senior Subordinated
Discount Debentures, 13% Senior Secured Discount Debentures and
11% Senior Subordinated Discount Debentures in order to
facilitate certain strategic options that the Company is
currently exploring.  The Agreement does not require the Company
to pursue any particular course of action but provides a
methodology for the allocation of sale proceeds and other assets
to its stakeholders in the event of a sale of the Company's
remaining assets and the receipt of customary approvals.  The
Agreement provides that under certain circumstances other
stakeholders may receive less than full value.  The Agreement is
binding on current Holders who have signed the Agreement and
subsequent transferees of those Holders' notes.  The Company
believes that this Agreement will enhance its ability to pursue
options that will maximize the value for its businesses for all
of its stakeholders.
