Second Quarter Highlights:

    --  Operating income for the second quarter was $2.9 million compared to an
        operating loss of $1.0 million in the second quarter last year
    --  The Company posted a net loss of $157,000 in the second quarter (nil per
        share) compared to a net loss of $1.9 million ($0.03 per share) in the
        second quarter last year

    --  Same store sales at Company-owned stores rose 5.9% year-over-year in the
        second quarter, compared to a gain of 2.1% in the first quarter this
        year and a decline of 4.1% in the second quarter last year

"Our operating results continued to improve year-over-year in the second quarter," commented Jim Morgan, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The warm summer months traditionally are a challenging time for our domestic Krispy Kreme shops, but we believe our improved results in the second quarter show that we can succeed in making our business more profitable year-round through continued implementation of our strategic initiatives." Our second quarter progress included these accomplishments:

    --  We opened our third new Company small retail concept shop on July 29, in
        the Raleigh, North Carolina market;
    --  We signed letters of intent for three leases in the Raleigh, North
        Carolina market, bringing our total new small retail concept commitments
        to eight;
    --  Three domestic franchisees opened a total of four small retail concept
        shops in the quarter in Texas, Arizona and New York;
    --  International franchisees continued to expand, with a net increase of 11
        stores in the quarter;
    --  The Kool Kreme((R)) soft serve test was expanded into five additional
        Company shops, bringing the total number of Company test locations to
        ten; all Krispy Kreme shops in both the Piedmont Triad, North Carolina
        and Nashville, Tennessee markets offer Kool Kreme, and our broadcast
        advertising in these markets includes messaging about Kool Kreme;
    --  Our use of broadcast media has expanded beyond the Piedmont Triad, North
        Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee markets into Huntsville, Alabama and
        Columbia, South Carolina;
    --  We expanded the elements of our marketing mix beyond broadcast and print
        media into social and interactive media, including Facebook and Twitter;
        we also signed a new sponsorship agreement with the NFL Carolina
        Panthers; and

    --  We introduced new longer shelf-life, individually wrapped snack
        products, including glazed cherry and apple pies and chocolate cupcakes,
        in our off-premises distribution channels in selected markets.

"While there is still much work to be done to achieve sustained revenue growth and our long-term goals, we are pleased to have improved our financial performance in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 compared to the same periods last year," Morgan continued. "These results reflect the hard work and dedication of our team members and franchisees. We continue to believe we have the right strategies, and that the results from their implementation will be more fully reflected in our financial results in the quarters and years ahead."

The Company has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which includes interim financial information as well as management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

    (1)  Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include the sales by
         both Company and franchise stores.  The Company believes systemwide
         sales data are useful in assessing the overall performance of the
         Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company.
    (2)  Computed on a pro forma basis assuming the average rate of exchange
         between the U.S. dollar and each of the foreign currencies in which
         the Company's international franchisees conducts business had been
         the same in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 as
         in the comparable periods of fiscal 2009.
    (3)  Represents, on a Company and systemwide basis, total sales of all
         stores divided by the number of operating weeks for both factory and
         satellite stores.
    (4)  Represents, on a Company and systemwide basis, the aggregate number
         of weeks in a period that both factory and satellite stores were in
         operation.
    (5)  The change in "same store sales" represents the aggregate on-premises
         sales (including fundraising sales) during the current year period
         for all stores which had been open for more than 56 consecutive weeks
         during the current year period (but only to the extent such sales
         occurred in the 57th or later week of each store's operation) divided
         by the aggregate on-premises sales of such stores for the comparable
         weeks in the preceding year period.  Once a store has been open for
         at least 57 consecutive weeks, its sales are included in the
         computation of same stores sales for all subsequent periods.  In the
         event a store is closed temporarily (for example, for remodeling) and
         has no sales during one or more weeks, such store's sales for the
         comparable weeks during the earlier or subsequent period are excluded
         from the same store sales computation.
    (6)  For Company off-premises sales, "average weekly number of doors"
         represents the average number of customer locations to which product
         deliveries are made during a week by Company Stores, and "average
         weekly sales per door" represents the average weekly sales to each
         such location by Company Stores.
