This news release contains certain forward-looking statements and information, which reflect the
current view of SFG with respect to future events and financial
performance. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect",

the negatives of such terms or variations of them or similar

light of its experience and perception of historical trends.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties and SFG's actual results of operations could differ
materially from historical results or current expectations. The risks
that could cause actual results to differ from current expectations
include: stability in the U.S. economy; stability in prevailing
exchange rates; stability in the availability and pricing of raw
materials, energy and supplies; the ability to implement price
increases successfully; stability in the competitive environment; no
future product recalls; the continued ability of the Company to access
cost effective capital when needed; and no unexpected or unforeseen
events occurring that would materially alter the Company's current
plans. All of these assumptions have been derived from information
currently available to the Company including information obtained by
the Company from third-party sources. These assumptions may prove to be
incorrect in whole or in part. In addition, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in such
forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's expectations
only as of the date hereof.
Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially
from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the
forward-looking statements include risks associated with implementing
and executing complex projects and plans; risks posed by food
contamination, pandemics and product recalls; risks associated with the
price of commodities and the inability of the Company to control
commodity prices; risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations;
risks associated with changing consumer tastes, preferences and buying
patterns; and risks posed by competition.
Matters creating particular uncertainty regarding the Company at present
include the status of the Company's ongoing litigation with Nathan's,
the Company's future viability if its agreement with Nathan's is not
renewed or replaced.
Some of the forward-looking statements may be considered to be financial
outlooks for purposes of securities legislation including, but not
limited to, statements concerning future margins and capital
expenditures. These financial outlooks are presented in order to
provide measurable targets that the Company aims to achieve and for

outlooks may not be appropriate for other purposes and readers should

to, update any forward-looking statements (including any financial
outlooks), whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
