    <TD>Income from continuing operations totaled $15,998,000 compared with $20,360,000 for the
corresponding quarter a year ago. Current year second quarter results from continuing
operations included pretax income of approximately $2.5&nbsp;million (five cents per share after
taxes) associated with a distribution received under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset
Act (CDSOA), a pretax loss on the previously announced sale of consumer and floral glass
operations totaling $5.7&nbsp;million (12 cents per share after taxes) and a noncash pension
settlement charge of $3.0&nbsp;million (six cents per share after taxes) recorded in the corporate
segment. The CDSOA remittance in the prior year&#146;s quarter totaled approximately $0.7&nbsp;million
pretax (one cent per share after taxes).</TD>

    <TD>Specialty Foods sales increased 12&nbsp;percent in the quarter to $215.2&nbsp;million, reflecting
both stronger retail and foodservice sales. Contributing to this growth were increased
pricing and the June&nbsp;2007 acquisition of Marshall&#146;s biscuits. The prior year second quarter
retail sales volume was indirectly, but adversely, affected by consumer food-safety concerns
about fresh produce. Operating income totaled $28.3&nbsp;million, off eight percent from the
year-ago level. Higher sales and improved pricing were more than offset by markedly higher
commodity costs. These costs had an estimated impact on comparative quarterly results
exceeding $10&nbsp;million.</TD>

    <TD>Nonfood operations had mixed results in the quarter. Glassware and Candles sales declined
by 23&nbsp;percent to $54.3&nbsp;million as impacted by softer demand for candles and the mid-November
divestiture of certain glassware operations. The segment&#146;s operating loss was $0.8&nbsp;million,
which included the $5.7&nbsp;million loss on the divestitures, compared to operating income of $3.9
million in the year-ago quarter. Automotive accessory sales improved 24&nbsp;percent to $36.2
million, reflecting greater sales to original equipment manufacturers. Higher sales and
pricing brought Automotive operating income to $1.1&nbsp;million versus the year ago operating loss
of $1.4&nbsp;million.</TD>

including a loss from discontinued operations of $3,240,000, or $.10 per diluted share. Income from

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John B. Gerlach, Jr., chairman and CEO, said, &#147;We again had solid consolidated top line growth
with both our Specialty Foods and Automotive segments achieving strong sales increases. Operating
income benefited from the higher sales, but was adversely affected by higher food ingredient costs
as well as the two charges previously mentioned. During the quarter we continued to utilize our
cash flows, paying $8.3&nbsp;million in cash dividends and spending $26.6&nbsp;million on repurchases of
Lancaster Colony common shares.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking ahead, Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach said, &#147;Domestic food processors are experiencing raw material costs
persisting at unprecedented high levels following sharp increases over the last 12&nbsp;months. While
we are actively pursuing further retail pricing relief, the extent of these raw material increases
may contribute to the Specialty Food segment&#146;s year-over-year third quarter performance comparing
less favorably than in the second quarter. Additional efforts to improve our margins include
investments in our ongoing product development process and the operating efficiencies derived from
our new Kentucky manufacturing plants.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach added, &#147;Automotive results should remain fairly consistent absent further
reductions in original equipment production levels. The Glassware and Candles segment will
continue to reflect the loss of closed and divested glass operations, lower candle production and a
seasonal drop-off in candle sales. Our strategic alternative review of these remaining nonfood
operations continues, while at the same time we remain active in identifying potentially
good-fitting food acquisitions. We believe these pursuits offer our shareholders the potential to
further optimize their long-term value.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The company&#146;s second quarter conference call is scheduled for this morning, January&nbsp;31, at
