NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 | In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net earnings.

The results of operations for the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.

While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014.

Note 2 | We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or estimable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $464,000 and $450,000 at December 27, 2014 and September 27, 2014, respectively.

Note 3 | Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. Depreciation expense was $7,981,000 and $7,688,000 for the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

7

Note 4 | Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended December 27, 2014 |
|  | Income |  |  | Shares |  |  | Per Share |
|  | (Numerator) |  |  | (Denominator) |  |  | Amount |
|  | (in thousands, except per share amounts) |
Basic EPS |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net Earnings available to common stockholders |  | $ | 11,256 |  |  |  | 18,669 |  |  | $ | 0.60 |
Effect of Dilutive Securities |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Options |  |  | - |  |  |  | 132 |  |  |  | - |
Diluted EPS |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net Earnings available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions |  | $ | 11,256 |  |  |  | 18,801 |  |  | $ | 0.60 |

Net Earnings available to common stockholders |  | $ | 12,426 |  |  |  | 18,679 |  |  | $ | 0.67 |
Effect of Dilutive Securities |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Note 5 | At December 27, 2014, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans. Share-based compensation was recognized as follows:

|  | Three months ended |
|  | December 27, |  |  | December 28, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
|  | (in thousands, except per share amounts) |
Stock Options |  | $ | 284 |  |  | $ | 312 |
Stock purchase plan |  |  | 147 |  |  |  | 129 |
Restricted stock issued to an employee |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 4 |
Total share-based compensation |  | $ | 432 |  |  | $ | 445 |
Per diluted share |  | $ | 0.02 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |
The above compensation is net of tax benefits |  | $ | 92 |  |  | $ | 79 |

The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $2.1 million net of tax benefits, or approximately $.11 per share for the fiscal year ending September 26, 2015.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the 2015 three month period. During the 2014 three month period, the Company granted 97,975 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $15.21.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 49 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

Note 6 | We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

9

Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”). We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $315,000 and $315,000 on December 27, 2014 and September 27, 2014, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes. As of December 27, 2014 and September 27, 2014, respectively, the Company has $180,000 and $180,000 of accrued interest and penalties.

In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

Note 7 | In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition which says that we should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending September 2018. Early application is not permitted. We will assess the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 | Inventories consist of the following:

|  | December 27, |  |  | September 27, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2014 |
|  | (unaudited) |  |  |  |  |
|  | (in thousands) |
Finished goods |  | $ | 38,259 |  |  | $ | 33,189 |
Raw materials |  |  | 17,979 |  |  |  | 15,632 |
Packaging materials |  |  | 6,962 |  |  |  | 6,107 |
Equipment parts and other |  |  | 22,331 |  |  |  | 21,155 |
Total Inventories |  | $ | 85,531 |  |  | $ | 76,083 |
The above inventories are net of reserves |  | $ | 1,838 |  |  | $ | 3,982 |

Approximately $2.2 million of inventory at September 27, 2014 has been written off in the December quarter.

10

Note 9 | We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries. Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business because of different distribution and capital requirements. We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the three operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.

Our three reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages. All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income (loss). These segments are described below.

Food Service

The primary products sold by the food service group are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros, dough enrobed handheld products and baked goods. Our customers in the food service industry include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and discount stores; malls and shopping centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and sports arenas; leisure and theme parks; convenience stores; movie theatres; warehouse club stores; schools, colleges and other institutions. Within the food service industry, our products are purchased by the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale.

Retail Supermarkets

The primary products sold to the retail supermarket channel are soft pretzel products – including SUPERPRETZEL, frozen juice treats and desserts including LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, WHOLE FRUIT frozen fruit bars and sorbet, PHILLY SWIRL cups and sticks, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes and dough enrobed handheld products including PATIO burritos. Within the retail supermarket channel, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.

Frozen Beverages

We sell frozen beverages and related products to the food service industry primarily under the names ICEE, SLUSH PUPPIE and PARROT ICE in the United States, Mexico and Canada. We also provide repair and maintenance service to customers for customers’ owned equipment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service and Retail Supermarkets and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment. Information regarding the operations in these three reportable segments is as follows:

Amortized intangible assets are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. There were no intangible assets acquired in the three months ended December 27, 2014. Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 was $1,355,000 and $1,143,000, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $5,400,000 in 2015 and $5,100,000 in 2016, $2,600,000 in 2017, $1,800,000 in 2018 and $1,600,000 in 2019. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.1 years.

Note 11 | We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 | Observable input such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 | Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

14

Level 3 | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale consist primarily of investments in mutual funds and preferred stock. The fair values of mutual funds are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of preferred stock is based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As a result, preferred stock is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at December 27, 2014 are summarized as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  | Gross |  |  | Gross |  |  | Fair |

|  | $ | 129,001 |  |  | $ | 426 |  |  | $ | 3,704 |  |  | $ | 125,723 |

The mutual funds seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. The unrealized losses of $3.7 million are spread over 28 funds with total fair market value of $94.3 million. The Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock generate fixed income to call dates in 2018 and 2019 and then income is based on a spread above LIBOR if the securities are not called. These investment securities do not have contractual maturities; however, we classify them as long term assets as it is our intent to hold them for a period of over one year, although we may sell some or all of them depending on presently unanticipated needs for liquidity or market conditions.

Proceeds from the redemption and sale of marketable securities were $11,601,000 and $5,495,000 in the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, with a loss of $509,000 recorded in the three months ended December 27, 2014 and $260,000 recorded in the three months ended December 28, 2013. We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.

Note 12 | In October 2013, we acquired the assets of New York Pretzel, a manufacturer and distributor of soft pretzels selling primarily in the northeast to foodservice and retail locations. Of the purchase price of $11.8 million, $849,000 was allocated to intangible assets, $7,716,000 was allocated to goodwill and $3,049,000 was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The business had sales of about $4.3 million in our 2014 fiscal year included in the food service segment.

In May 2014, we acquired the stock of Philly’s Famous Water Ice, Inc. (PHILLY SWIRL). PHILLY SWIRL, located in Tampa, FL, produces frozen novelty products sold primarily to retail supermarket locations throughout the United States and to Canada with annual sales approximating $25 million. The allocation of the purchase price of $17.4 million is $4.0 million to working capital, $1.2 million to property, plant and equipment, $11.1 million to intangible assets, $1.8 million to goodwill, $4.0 million to deferred tax assets, $95,000 to other assets and $4.8 million to deferred tax liabilities. Sales of PHILLY SWIRL from the acquisition date to September 27, 2014 were $12.6 million and are included in the retail supermarket segment.

17

These acquisitions were and will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and their operations are and will be included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

The goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the business combinations are recorded at fair value. To measure fair value for such assets, we use techniques including discounted expected future cash flows (Level 3 inputs).

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current cash and cash equivalents balances and cash expected to be provided by future operations are our primary sources of liquidity. We believe that these sources, along with our borrowing capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth and expansion. See Note 11 to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.36 per share of its common stock payable on January 8, 2015, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 23, 2014.

In our fiscal year ended September 27, 2014, we purchased and retired 81,685 shares of our common stock at a cost of $7,504,729. In the quarter ended December 27, 2014, we purchased and retired 16,164 shares of our common stock at a cost of $1,669,741. On November 8, 2012 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase and retirement of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; 246,009 shares remain to be purchased under this authorization.

19

In the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused an increase of $1,955,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2015 first quarter and an increase of $104,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2014 first quarter.

Our general-purpose bank credit line which expires in December 2016 provides for up to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility. The agreement contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard banking practice. There were no outstanding balances under this facility at December 27, 2014.

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $9,229,000 or 5% to $212,752,000 for the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 28, 2013. Excluding sales of PHILLY SWIRL, which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, sales increased $6,865,000 or a little less than 3 1/2%.

FOOD SERVICE

Sales to food service customers increased $4,781,000 or 3% in the first quarter to $143,561,000. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 4% to $40,718,000 in the first quarter due to increased sales to school food service and throughout our customer base; however, soft pretzel sales to restaurant chains this quarter were approximately the same as a year ago. Increased sales to one customer accounted for approximately 1/2 of the increase in pretzel sales in the quarter. Frozen juices and ices sales for the quarter were essentially unchanged at $8,201,000 with increased sales to school food service offset by decreased sales throughout our customer base. Churro sales to food service customers decreased 7% to $12,967,000 in the first quarter which was net of a decline in sales of $2,098,000 to one restaurant chain which discontinued carrying the product in August 2014. Churro sales to other customers increased 9% in the quarter with increases throughout our customer base.

Sales of bakery products increased $5,355,000 or 8% in the first quarter to $74,431,000 as sales increases to two customers and school food service accounted for all of the sales increase.

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $3.8 million in this quarter. Price increases accounted for approximately $2.8 million of sales in the quarter and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above, accounted for approximately $2.0 million of sales in the quarter.

Operating income in our Food Service segment increased from $15,151,000 to $15,493,000 in the quarter because last year’s quarter included $800,000 of other general expenses for shutdown costs of our Norwalk, CA manufacturing facility. Operating income for the quarter was impacted by low volume growth and higher manufacturing expenses.

20

RETAIL SUPERMARKETS

Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $2,223,000 or 11% to $22,387,000 in the first quarter. Excluding sales of PHILLY SWIRL, sales were down less than 1%. Soft pretzel sales for the first quarter were up 3% to $9,200,000 due to sales of the newly introduced SUPERPRETZEL BAVARIAN Soft Pretzel Bread. Sales of frozen juices and ices increased $2,732,000 or 43% to $9,155,000 in the first quarter. Without PHILLY SWIRL, sales increased 6%. Coupon redemption costs, a reduction of sales, increased 58% or about $393,000 for the quarter. Handheld sales to retail supermarket customers decreased 8% to $4,879,000 in the quarter with a sales decrease to one customer accounting for over 85% of the decrease.

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $430,000 in the quarter. Price increases accounted for approximately $200,000 of sales in the quarter and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and PHILLY SWIRL sales and net of increased coupon costs, accounted for approximately $2.0 million of the sales increase in this quarter. Operating income in our Retail Supermarkets segment decreased from $1,964,000 to $666,000 in the quarter primarily because of higher coupon expense, advertising expenses to introduce our SUPERPRETZEL BAVARIAN Soft Pretzel Bread and an operating loss of $951,000 by PHILLY SWIRL due to seasonality.

FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased 5% to $46,804,000 in the first quarter. Beverage related sales alone were up 1% in the quarter. Gallon sales were up 2% for the quarter. Service revenue increased 12% to $15,310,000 in the first quarter with increased sales to two customers accounting for all of the sales increase.

Sales of beverage machines, which tend to fluctuate from year to year while following no specific trend, were $5,747,000 or 4% higher in the three month period. The approximate number of company owned frozen beverage dispensers was 49,300 and 49,100 at December 27, 2014 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Operating income in our Frozen Beverage segment was $451,000 in this year’s quarter compared to $856,000 last year as higher operating expenses in this seasonally low period offset the benefits of increased sales.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.72% in the three month period from 29.43% last year. PHILLY SWIRL accounted for approximately 1/3 of the percentage decrease with the balance resulting from higher manufacturing expenses and relatively low volume increases in our food service segment.

21

Total operating expenses increased $2,556,000 in this quarter and as a percentage of sales increased from 20.6% percent to 20.9%. Last year’s operating expenses included $800,000 of other general expenses for shutdown costs of our Norwalk, CA manufacturing facility. Without this $800,000, total operating expenses last year were 20.2% of sales. About 43% of the increase in percent of sales from 20.2% to 20.9% was due to the expenses of PHILLY SWIRL in this seasonally low quarter, about 23% was related to increased advertising spending for the introduction of SUPERPRETZEL BAVARIAN Soft Pretzel Bread in our retail supermarket segment and the balance was primarily higher expenses in our frozen beverage segment in its seasonally low quarter. For these reasons, marketing expenses increased to 9.16% of sales from 8.86%, distribution expenses increased to 8.24% of sales from 7.92% and administrative expenses increased to 3.54% of sales from 3.43%.

Operating income decreased $1,361,000 or 8% to $16,610,000 in the first quarter as a result of the aforementioned items.

Investment income increased by $216,000 in the quarter due primarily to increased investments of marketable securities. We have invested $114 million in mutual funds that seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. We estimate the annual yield from these funds to approximate 3.5%. The mutual funds have unrealized losses of $3.7 million which may eventually be realized.

We invested $11.6 million during the quarter in Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock which generates fixed income to call dates in 2018 and 2019 and then income is based on a spread above LIBOR if the securities are not called. We estimate the annual yield from these investments to approximate 5.0%. The mutual funds and the Fixed-to-Floating Perpetual Preferred Stock investment securities do not have contractual maturities; however, we classify them as long term assets as it is our intent to hold them for a period of over one year, although we may sell some or all of them depending on presently unanticipated needs for liquidity or market conditions.

The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 37% for this year’s quarter and 35% for last year’s quarter. We are estimating an effective income tax rate of approximately 36 1/2% for the year. Last year’s first quarter benefitted from a reduction of tax expense because of changes in estimates related to a prior year while this year’s quarter was impacted by a low tax benefit on share based compensation.

Net earnings decreased $1,170,000 or 9% in the current three month period to $11,256,000 as a result of the aforementioned items.

There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates.
