6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The liquidity and capital resources discussion included on page 11 of the Company's Fiscal 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains applicable, other than the common stock repurchase program described below. In Fiscal 1992, the Company began a common stock repurchase program and purchased 8,000,000 shares in Fiscal 1992 and 1993. In September 1993, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 10,000,000 shares to be purchased under this stock repurchase program. Under this program, 3,000,000 shares were purchased in Fiscal 1994, 2,100,000 shares in Fiscal 1995, and 4,900,000 shares in Fiscal 1996. In February 1996, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 6,000,000 shares to be purchased under this program. All 6,000,000 shares have been purchased under this program during the first half of Fiscal 1997. In November 1996, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 6,000,000 shares to be purchased under this program. Under this latest authorization, 217,800 shares were purchased through December 28, 1996. Results of Operations --------------------- Sales increased 11% during the 26 weeks and 9% in the second quarter of Fiscal 1997 over comparable periods of the prior year. Cost of sales also increased 11% during the 26 weeks and 9% in the second quarter of Fiscal 1997 which is in line with the sales increases. Operating expenses for the 26 week periods presented remained approximately the same as a percent of sales, while the second quarter of Fiscal 1997 was above the same period in 1996, due primarily to a bad debt write-off in connection with a restaurant customer's bankruptcy. Interest expense in the current periods increased over the prior periods due to increased borrowings. Income taxes for the current periods reflect an effective rate of 39%, the same as in the prior year periods. Increases in pretax earnings, net earnings and earnings per share for the periods shown resulted from a combination of the above factors. 7 PART II.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders The Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on November 1, 1996 ("1996 Annual Meeting").

EX-15 3 AA LETTER 12 Exhibit 15 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sysco Corporation: We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Sysco Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 28, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations and cash flows for the twenty-six week and thirteen week periods then ended included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Houston, Texas February 5, 1997 EX-27 4 ART. 5 FDS FOR 2ND QUARTER 10-Q
