as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are, as of their respective dates,
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof:
(1)
The
Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hawkins, Inc. for the fiscal year ended March 28,
2004 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act (No. 0-7647);
(2)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Annual Report referred to in (1) above; and
(3)
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock
which is included in registration statements and reports filed under the
Exchange Act from time to time.
All
reports and other documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the
date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment that indicates that all of the shares of Common Stock offered have

Registration Statement from the date of filing of such documents.
Any
statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated,
by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes
of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein
or incorporated herein by reference or in any other subsequently filed document
that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement.  Any statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not
Applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not
Applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's By-laws provide that each director
and officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant in the
manner and to the extent allowed by Minnesota Statutes Section 302A.521.  Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota
Statutes provides in substance that, unless prohibited by its articles of
incorporation or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an officer or director
who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his
or her official capacity against judgments, penalties, fines, including,
without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an
employee benefit plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by such person in connection with
the proceeding, if certain criteria are met. 
These criteria, all of which must be met by the person complained of in
the proceeding, are (a) that such person has not been indemnified by
another organization for the same judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
expenses; (b) that such person must have acted in good faith; (c) that
no improper personal benefit was obtained by such person and such person
satisfied certain statutory conflicts of interest provisions, if applicable;
(d) that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no
reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful; and (e) that
such person must have acted in a manner
II-1
he or she reasonably believed was in the best interests of the
corporation or, in certain limited circumstances, not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation.  The
determination as to eligibility for indemnification is made by the members of
the corporation's board of directors or a committee of the board who are at the
time not parties to the proceedings under consideration, by special legal
counsel, by the shareholders who are not parties to the proceedings or by a
court.
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide
that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or
limitation is not permitted under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 302A.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant maintains a director and officer
insurance policy to cover the Registrant, its directors and its officers
against certain liabilities.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
A.
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8
or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
B.
The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such
II-3
indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
II-4

Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable

and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by
