nationwide coverage through its 25 offices and 17 warehouses.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains  statements that constitute  "forward-looking  statements"
within the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.
These  include  statements  regarding  the  expected  closing  date  for the IFC
transaction and its benefit to the food industry.  The actual results of the IFC
transaction could differ materially from those indicated by the  forward-looking
statements  because  of  various  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  without
limitation,  general  economic  conditions;  market  risk;  changes in  industry
practices  or  technologies;  the ability of IFC and the Company to identify and
capitalize on business opportunities arising from the transaction; the Company's
ability to  integrate  IFC into its  operations;  climate  and  weather  trends;
competitive  factors and pricing practices;  potential increases in labor costs;
uncertainties  of  litigation;  and  changes  in  various  government  laws  and
regulations, including environmental regulations. All of the foregoing risks and
uncertainties  are beyond the  ability of the  Company to  control,  and in many
cases the Company  cannot predict the risks and  uncertainties  that could cause
its  actual  results  to  differ   materially   from  those   indicated  by  the
forward-looking statements. A more detailed discussion of potential risks facing
the  Company  can be found in the  Company's  Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2004.
