Systemwide sales, including sales of both company and franchise stores, increased 39.7% to $107.7 million in
the second quarter, compared with $77.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Sales were driven by an
increase in company store sales of 31.9% to $51.5 million and an increase in franchise store sales of 47.8% to
$56.2 million. On a comparable store basis, systemwide store sales increased 19.4% and company store sales
increased 24.4%. All of these results exceeded earlier projections.

Total company revenues, which include sales from company stores, franchise fees and royalties, and support
operations sales, rose 36.3% to $70.0 million in the second quarter, compared with $51.4 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. Sales from company stores increased 31.9% to $51.5 million; revenues from
franchise fees and royalties increased 84.3% to $2.3 million; and support operations sales increased 46.4% to
$16.2 million.

Net income for the second quarter was $3.6 million, an increase of 265.5% compared with $1.0 million in the
second quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.25 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001
from $0.10 per share in the prior year comparable period.

For the six months ended July 30, 2000, systemwide sales increased 40.5% to $211.1 million from $150.2
million in the same period of last year. This increase was a result of an increase in company store sales of
28.7% to $102.4 million and an increase in franchise store sales of 53.8% to $108.6 million.

Total company revenues rose 34.7% to $141.0 million in the first six months of the year compared with
$104.7 million in the same period of the prior year. Sales from company stores increased 28.7% to $102.4
million; revenues from franchise fees and royalties increased 86.1% to $4.3 million; and support operations
sales increased 50.5% to $34.3 million.

Net income for the six months was $6.6 million, an increase of 130.8% compared to $2.9 million a year ago.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.52 in the first six months of the year from $0.30 per share in the
prior year.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Scott Livengood, Chairman, President and CEO of Krispy Kreme
Doughnuts, said: "We are very pleased with our second quarter performance. It is gratifying that these
excellent results were geographically broad based and across all sales channels. Our national expansion is also
going extremely well, both in terms of store openings and the strong sales being achieved in these new
markets."

During the quarter, six new Krispy Kreme stores (including one new commissary) were opened in Las Vegas,
NV; Owings Mills, MD; Gardena, CA; Roseville, MI; Chicago, IL; and Nashville, TN bringing the total
number of stores at July 30, 2000 to 154. Since the end of the quarter, Krispy Kreme has opened an additional
franchise store in Houston, TX. The company increased its projected store openings for the current fiscal
year from 22 to 28 new stores and expects to open 32 new stores in fiscal 2002.

As a result of continuing strong sales momentum and the raised estimate of new store openings, the company
increased earnings per share expectations to $1.00 for the current fiscal year.

The 63-year-old North Carolina-based company is a leading branded specialty retailer of premium quality
doughnuts, including the company's signature Hot Original Glazed. Krispy Kreme currently operates 154
stores in 27 states.
