This document provides an analysis of Hershey Foods Corporation's financial condition and results of operations. It discusses increases in net sales and gross margin from 1999 to 2000 primarily due to lower raw material costs. Selling and administrative expenses also increased from 1999 to 2000 due to higher marketing and staffing costs. In 2000, Hershey acquired Nabisco's mint and gum businesses for $135 million. The acquisition increased assets but did not materially impact 2000 results. Cash flow from operations and prior asset sales exceeded capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividends. Liquidity remains strong with continued capital investments planned.
