          On December 21, 2000, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Issuer approved, and the Issuer, M-Foods Holdings, Inc., a Delaware         
corporation ("Holdings"), and Protein Acquisition Corp., a Minnesota corporation
and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings ("MergerSub"), entered into, an         
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing that, upon the  
terms and subject to the conditions thereof, MergerSub will merge with and into 
the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving          
corporation.                                                                    

   In connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement, certain
existing shareholders of the Issuer entered into a letter agreement with        
Investors pursuant to which such person agreed (a) to vote all shares of Common 
Stock in favor of the Merger and against any other acquisition or any amendment 
to the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer designed to frustrate 
the Merger, (b) not to dispose of or encumber any of its shares of or options to
purchase the Common Stock before the Closing, or to take any action that would  
restrict such person's ability to perform any and all actions contemplated by   
the Merger Agreement and (c) to grant an irrevocable proxy coupled with an      
interest to Investors, and to appoint Investors as such person's attorney-in-   
fact, and that such grant would supersede all previous grants of proxy. As a    
result of the execution of such letter agreements, Investors and each of the    
other Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over the     
shares owned by such existing shareholders and therefore may be deemed to be 10%
owners.
