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 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 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 24, 2011.

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 $694,000 and $653,000 at December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, respectively.

7

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 $6,357,000 and $6,246,000 for the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively.

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 24, 2011
	Income		Shares		Per Share
	(Numerator)		(Denominator)		Amount
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Basic EPS
Net Earnings available to common stockholders	$	5,485		18,806	$	0.29
Effect of Dilutive Securities
Options		-		68		-
Diluted EPS
Net Earnings available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions	$	5,485		18,874	$	0.29

Net Earnings available to common stockholders	$	7,094		18,578	$	0.38
Effect of Dilutive Securities
Options		-		124		-
Diluted EPS
Net Earnings available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions	$	7,094		18,702	$	0.38

Note 5 Our calculation of comprehensive income is as follows:

	December 24,			December 25,
	2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Net Earnings	$	5,485		$	7,094
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(156	)		48
Comprehensive income	$	5,329		$	7,142

Note 6 At December 24, 2011, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans.  Share-based compensation was recognized as follows:

9

	Three months ended
	December 24,		December 25,
	2011		2010
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Stock Options	$	95	$	8
Stock purchase plan		65		98
	$	160	$	106
Per diluted share	$	0.01	$	0.01
The above compensation is net of tax benefits	$	134	$	172

The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $800,000 net of tax benefits, or approximately $.04 per share for the fiscal year ending September 29, 2012.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2012 first three months: expected volatility of 28%; risk-free interest rate of 1.14%; dividend rate of 1.0% and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years.

During the 2012 three month period, the Company granted 1,500 stock options.  The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $11.62.  The Company did not grant any options in the 2011 first quarter.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 52 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 7 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.

10

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 $943,000 and $973,000 on December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, 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 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, respectively, the Company has $330,000 and $335,000 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 8 In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that amends existing disclosure requirements of fair value measurements adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to Level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 26, 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption has not had any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires that if a company presents comparative financial statements to include business combinations, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

11

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance will be effective for our second quarter of fiscal year 2012, and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which gives us the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both options, we are required to present each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2013 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance related to goodwill impairment testing for reporting entities with a zero or negative carrying amount.  Under the amended guidance, we must consider whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount.  If it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any.   This guidance is effective for our fiscal year 2012 and has not had a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 10 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. We have applied no aggregation criteria to any of these operating segments in order to determine reportable segments.  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 andtheme 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 by the retail supermarket segment 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, WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes, dough enrobed handheld products and TIO PEPE’S Churros.  Within the retail supermarket channel, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.

13

Frozen Beverages

We sell frozen beverages and related products to the food service industry, primarily under the names ICEE, SLUSH PUPPIE, PARROT ICE and ARCTIC BLAST 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:

Intangible assets of $500,000 were acquired in the retail supermarkets segments in the three months ended December 24, 2011.  Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was $1,132,000 and $1,293,000, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $4,500,000 in 2012, $4,400,000 in 2013 and 2014, $4,300,000 in 2015 and $4,100,000 in 2016. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.1 years.

Goodwill

The carrying amounts of goodwill for the Food Service, Retail Supermarket and Frozen Beverage segments are as follows:

	Food Service		Retail Supermarket		Frozen Beverages		Total
	(in thousands)
Balance at December 24, 2011	$	34,130	$	-	$	35,940	$	70,070

There were no changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the three months ended December 24, 2011.

Note 12 We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity.  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 inputs 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

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

17

We have concluded that the carrying value of certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value.  Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at December 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

			Gross		Gross		Fair
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized		Market
	Cost		Gains		Losses		Value
			(in thousands)
US Government Agency Debt	$	63,000	$	129	$	5	$	63,124
Certificate of Deposit		8,650		-		-	$	8,650
	$	71,650	$	129	$	5	$	71,774

All of the certificates of deposit are within the FDIC limits for insurance coverage.  Included in the certificates of deposit are $1.2 million pledged as collateral to a municipal sewer district.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at September 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

			Gross		Gross		Fair
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized		Market
	Cost		Gains		Losses		Value
			(in thousands)
US Government Agency Debt	$	42,000	$	52	$	62	$	41,990

All of the certificates of deposit are within the FDIC limits for insurance coverage.

The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s held to maturity securities by contractual maturity at December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

Proceeds from the redemption and sale of marketable securities were $33,310,000 and $9,310,000 in the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively, with no gain or loss recorded. We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.

Note 13 In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores.  Revenues from Parrot Ice were approximately $1.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

On June 10, 2010 we acquired the assets of California Churros, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of a premium brand churro.  Revenues from CALIFORNIA CHURROS were approximately $2.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

In May 2011, we acquired the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods.  This business had sales of approximately $50 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers and sales of $18.3 million in our 2011 fiscal year from the acquisition date.

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.

19

The purchase price allocation for the California Churros acquisition and other acquisitions, including Parrot Ice, which were made during the 2010 fiscal year is as follows:

	California Churros		Other
	(in thousands)
Working Capital	$	1,075	$	-
Property, plant & equipment		2,373		1,135
Trade Names		4,024		-
Customer Relationships		6,737		-
Covenant not to Compete		35		50
Goodwill		9,756		-
	$	24,000	$	1,185

Acquisition costs of $184,000 for these acquisitions are included in administrative and other general expense for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2010.

The purchase price allocation for the handhelds acquisition is as follows:

	(in thousands)
Working Capital	$	6,955
Property, plant & equipment		11,036
Trade Names		1,325
Customer Relationships		207
Deferred tax liability		(4,137	)
Net Assets Acquired		15,386
Purchase Price		8,806
Gain on bargain purchase	$	6,580

The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $6,580,000 which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011.  The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the purchase price.

Acquisition costs of $464,000 and $534,000 for the handhelds acquisition are included in other general expense in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011, respectively.

20

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 input).

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 12 to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.13 per share of its common stock payable on January 5, 2012, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2011.

In the year ended September 25, 2010, we purchased and retired 203,507 shares of our common stock at a cost of $7,768,000 under a million share buyback authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2008 leaving 210,772 as the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the share buyback authorization.

In the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010, 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 $156,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2012 first quarter and a decrease of $48,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the 2011 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 24, 2011.

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $17,054,000 or 11% to $172,686,000 for the three months ended December 24, 2011 compared to the three months ended December 25, 2010.

21

Excluding sales resulting from the acquisition of the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods in May 2011, sales increased 3% for the three months.

FOOD SERVICE

Sales to food service customers increased $7,784,000 or 7% in the first quarter to $113,069,000.  Excluding handheld sales, food service sales increased 1% for the first quarter.Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased 5% to $25,617,000 in the first quarter primarily due to increased sales to restaurant chains. Frozen juices and ices sales increased 3% to $7,852,000 in the first three months.  Churro sales to food service customers increased 3% to $10,386,000 in the quarter.

Sales of bakery products increased $2,608,000 or 4% in the first quarter to $60,820,000 as sales increases and decreases were spread throughout our customer base. Handheld sales to food service customers were $6,414,000 in the quarter.

Funnel cake product sales decreased by $3,025,000 to $1,484,000 in the quarter as sales to two customers decreased $2,904,000 from last year.  We expect sales to these two customers to be down approximately $3.5 million the balance of our fiscal year 2012, with about $2.2 million of the decrease coming in the second quarter.

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $1.2 million in this quarter. Price increases accounted for approximately $4.0 million of sales in the quarter and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and sales resulting from the acquisition of the handheld business, accounted for approximately $3.8 million of sales in this quarter.

Operating income in our Food Service segment decreased from $11,143,000 to $7,254,000 in the quarter primarily as a result of higher ingredient and packaging costs of about $4.5 million in the quarter, the sharp decline in funnel cake product sales, and a management and sales meeting expense of approximately $550,000; which were partially offset by price increases.

RETAIL SUPERMARKETS

Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $6,712,000 or 48% to $20,834,000 in the first quarter. Excluding handheld sales for the quarter, sales increased 6% for the quarter. Soft pretzel sales for the first quarter were up 4% to $8,134,000 on a unit volume decrease of 3% for the quarter.  Sales of frozen juices and ices increased $579,000 or 9% to $7,080,000 in the first quarter on a unit volume increase of 4% in this quarter.  Sales increases in excess of volume changes were due to pricing and mix changes. Coupon redemption costs, a reduction of sales, increased 9% or about $60,000 for this quarter. Handheld sales to retail supermarket customers were $5,881,000 in the quarter.

22

Sales of new products in the first twelve months since their introduction were approximately $1.3 million in the first quarter. Price increases accounted for approximately $800,000 of sales in the quarter and net volume increases, including new product sales as defined above and handheld sales and net of increased coupon costs, accounted for approximately $5.9 million of sales in this quarter. Operating income in our Retail Supermarkets segment decreased from $2,051,000 to $1,824,000 in the quarter.  Operating income in the quarter was impacted by higher product costs related to ingredient and packaging cost increases and higher advertising expenses than last year.

FROZEN BEVERAGES

Frozen beverage and related product sales increased 7% to $38,783,000 in the first quarter.  Beverage related sales alone increased 1% to $23,981,000 in the first quarter.   Gallon sales were down 4% for the three months in our base ICEE business.  Service revenue increased 18% to $11,543,000 in the first quarter with about 2/3 of the increase coming from three new service customers.

Sales of beverage machines, which tend to fluctuate from year to year while following no specific trend, were $566,000 higher this year than last in the three month period. The approximate number of company owned frozen beverage dispensers was 41,500 and 40,800 at December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, respectively.  Operating loss in our Frozen Beverage segment decreased $1,606,000 to a loss of $615,000 in the first quarter as a result of increased sales as discussed above and controlled expenses. Higher gasoline costs of approximately $306,000 impacted this quarter.  We expect higher gasoline costs to impact operating income for at least the balance of our fiscal year although the extent of the impact is not estimable.

CONSOLIDATED

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.87% in the three month period from 29.62% last year.  Higher ingredient and packaging costs compared to last year of approximately $5 million for the quarter and the mid single digit gross margin percentage of the handhelds business was primarily responsible for the decreased gross profit percentage. Ingredient and packaging costs can be extremely volatile and may be significantly different from what we are presently expecting and therefore we cannot project the impact of ingredient and packaging costs on our business going forward; however, there has been a very significant increase in the market cost of ingredient and packaging over the past 18 months. We anticipate these continuing market cost increases will result in higher costs to the company over the remaining nine months of our fiscal year 2012.  Although we have implemented price increases to defray the impact of a portion or all of these cost increases, the impact of these higher costs and increased costs in operational areas may result in lower net earnings over the remaining nine months of our fiscal year 2012 compared to our fiscal year 2011.

23

Total operating expenses increased $2,815,000 in the first quarter but as a percentage of sales decreased about 6 tenths of one percent to 22% this year.  Marketing expenses decreased 1/2 of one percent to 10% of sales in the quarter from 11% last year.  Higher sales accounted for the above mentioned percent of sales decreases.  Distribution expenses were 8% in both years' quarter and administrative expenses were 4% of sales in both years' quarter.

Operating income decreased $2,510,000 or 23% to $8,463,000 in the first quarter as a result of the aforementioned items.  Additionally, operating income was impacted by approximately $800,000 of costs of a management and sales meeting held in October, which historically has been held every five years.

Investment income increased by $119,000 in the first quarter due to increased investments of marketable securities.

The effective income tax rate has been estimated at 38% and 37% for the quarter this year and last year, respectively. We are estimating an effective income tax rate of between 37 1/2% and 38 1/2% for the year.

Net earnings decreased $1,609,000 or 23% in the current three month period to $5,485,000 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in the Company’s assessment of its sensitivity to market risk since its presentation set forth, in item 7a. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in its 2011 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

24

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of December 24, 2011, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

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 $694,000 and $653,000 at December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

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 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 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 24, 2011.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Note 12 We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity.  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 inputs 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

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

We have concluded that the carrying value of certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value.  Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at December 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

			Gross		Gross		Fair
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized		Market
	Cost		Gains		Losses		Value
			(in thousands)
US Government Agency Debt	$	63,000	$	129	$	5	$	63,124
Certificate of Deposit		8,650		-		-	$	8,650
	$	71,650	$	129	$	5	$	71,774

All of the certificates of deposit are within the FDIC limits for insurance coverage.  Included in the certificates of deposit are $1.2 million pledged as collateral to a municipal sewer district.

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at September 24, 2011 are summarized as follows:

			Gross		Gross		Fair
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized		Market
	Cost		Gains		Losses		Value

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

Note 6 At December 24, 2011, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans.  Share-based compensation was recognized as follows:

	Three months ended
	December 24,		December 25,
	2011		2010
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Stock Options	$	95	$	8

	$	160	$	106
Per diluted share	$	0.01	$	0.01
The above compensation is net of tax benefits	$	134	$	172

The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $800,000 net of tax benefits, or approximately $.04 per share for the fiscal year ending September 29, 2012.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2012 first three months: expected volatility of 28%; risk-free interest rate of 1.14%; dividend rate of 1.0% and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years.

During the 2012 three month period, the Company granted 1,500 stock options.  The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $11.62.  The Company did not grant any options in the 2011 first quarter.

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 52 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.

Schedule of Business Acquisitions, by Acquisition [Table Text Block]

Note 13 In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Parrot Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of a premium brand frozen beverage sold primarily in convenience stores.  Revenues from Parrot Ice were approximately $1.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

On June 10, 2010 we acquired the assets of California Churros, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of a premium brand churro.  Revenues from CALIFORNIA CHURROS were approximately $2.5 million for our 2010 fiscal year.

In May 2011, we acquired the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods.  This business had sales of approximately $50 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers and sales of $18.3 million in our 2011 fiscal year from the acquisition date.

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 purchase price allocation for the California Churros acquisition and other acquisitions, including Parrot Ice, which were made during the 2010 fiscal year is as follows:

	California Churros		Other
	(in thousands)
Working Capital	$	1,075	$	-

Covenant not to Compete		35		50
Goodwill		9,756		-
	$	24,000	$	1,185

Acquisition costs of $184,000 for these acquisitions are included in administrative and other general expense for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2010.

The purchase price allocation for the handhelds acquisition is as follows:

	(in thousands)
Working Capital	$	6,955
Property, plant & equipment		11,036
Trade Names		1,325
Customer Relationships		207
Deferred tax liability		(4,137	)
Net Assets Acquired		15,386
Purchase Price		8,806
Gain on bargain purchase	$	6,580

The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $6,580,000 which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011.  The gain on bargain purchase resulted from the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the purchase price.

Acquisition costs of $464,000 and $534,000 for the handhelds acquisition are included in other general expense in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended June 25, 2011, respectively.

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 input).

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 7 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.

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 $943,000 and $973,000 on December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, 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 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011, respectively, the Company has $330,000 and $335,000 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.

Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Table Text Block]

Note 8 In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that amends existing disclosure requirements of fair value measurements adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to Level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. This guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 26, 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption has not had any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires that if a company presents comparative financial statements to include business combinations, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning September 25, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance will be effective for our second quarter of fiscal year 2012, and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which gives us the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both options, we are required to present each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2013 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance related to goodwill impairment testing for reporting entities with a zero or negative carrying amount.  Under the amended guidance, we must consider whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount.  If it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any.   This guidance is effective for our fiscal year 2012 and has not had a material impact on our financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

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:
