Note 3 - Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company leases certain transportation equipment under operating leases.  The terms of the transportation leases provide for renewal options and contingent rental payments based upon mileage and adjustments of rental payments based on the Consumer Price Index. Transportation equipment is currently rented on a month-to-month basis. The Company anticipates entering into new transportation equipment leases during fiscal year 2012.  The Company also leases warehouse and/or office facilities throughout the United States and Canada through month-to-month rental agreements.  No material changes have been made to these agreements during the first twenty-four weeks of fiscal 2012.

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Such legal matters are not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated as to a contingent loss.

The Company purchases bulk flour under short-term fixed price contracts during the normal course of business. Under these arrangements, the Company is obligated to purchase specific quantities at fixed prices, within the specified contract period.  These contracts provide for automatic price increases if agreed quantities are not purchased within the specified contract period. No significant contracts remained unfulfilled at April 13, 2012.
