This Amendment No. 7 amends the Reporting Person's Schedule 13D dated August 18, 1992 (as previously amended on September 15, 1992, October 16, 1992, April 18, 1995, May 17, 1995, January 10, 1996, and December 2, 1998) and is filed by the Reporting Person to report that it no longer beneficially owns more than 5% of the Issuer's Common Stock. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Prior to May 7, 1999, the Reporting Person beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,356,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, constituting 5.63% of the outstanding shares of such stock (based on a total of 41,844,359 outstanding shares as of March 5, 1999, as reported in the Issuer's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1999). All such shares were held of record by Carroll's Swine Investment Partnership (the "Partnership"), a general partnership in which the Reporting Person holds a 99% equity interest and serves as one of two general partners. Carroll's Foods of Virginia, Inc. ("Carroll's/Va"), whose three shareholders are the same as those of the Reporting Person, is the remaining general partner and the holder of the remaining 1% equity interest in the Partnership. Effective May 7, 1999, the above shares of the Issuer's Common Stock were distributed pro rata to the three shareholders of the Reporting Person and Carroll's/Va. As a result of such distribution, the Reporting Person no longer beneficially owns any shares of the Common Stock. This amendment is being filed to report the fact that, as of the date of the above distribution, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock. 3 of 4 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct.
