financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 1996 and the consolidated results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the statements of cash flows for
the three months ended.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements and
related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.  The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
year.

2.     Components of inventories are summarized as follows:

                                March 31, 1996    December 31, 1995
                                --------------    -----------------
 Raw Material                    $2,381,153         $2,333,653
 Finished Goods                     817,906          1,086,601
                                -----------        -----------
                                 $3,199,059         $3,420,254
                                ===========        ===========

3.     Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares and equivalents outstanding for each period.  The effect of stock options
was less than 3.0% of the weighted average shares outstanding in 1996 and 1995,
and accordingly was excluded from earnings per share.

4.     For the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company has provided
approximately $3,000 for state income taxes.  At March 31 1996, the Company's
net operating loss carryforward, for federal income tax purposes, was
approximately $1,055,000, which, if not utilized, will expire at various dates
through 2010.

               Condition And Results of Operations


Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

     Net sales increased by $1,354,000 or 35.0% to $5,262,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $3,908,000 during the comparable period in
1995.  This increase was attributable in part to an increase of $902,000 related
to the December 1995 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Seafla, 
Inc. ("Seafla"), an increase of $105,000 in flavor sales by the Company's 
Canadian subsidiary, and an increase of $347,000 due primarily to increased 
domestic flavor sales.

     Gross profit increased by $383,000 or 24.0% to $1,984,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $1,601,000 during the comparable period in 1995
primarily as a result of increased net sales.  Gross profit as a percentage of
sales decreased 3.0% due to production costs related to less profitable items
when compared to the prior period ended March 31, 1995.

     Operating expenses increased $437,000, of which Seafla accounted for
approximately $371,000, and the amortization of intangible assets increased
$66,000.  Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased
approximately 2.0% due to increased net sales.  Other expenses, primarily
interest expense, increased $115,000 due to the financing of the Seafla
acquisition in December 1995.

     Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $116,000, or $.01
per share, compared to net income of $56,000, or $.00 per share, during the 
comparable period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

     The Company's primary source of liquidity normally is cash generated
from operations.  However, during the first quarter of 1996, TFF realized
$288,000 from the cash surrender of officer life insurance policies.  The
proceeds were applied to reduce accounts payable and accrued expenses and to
increase cash and cash equivalents.

     On December 6, 1995, TFF purchased for $3,888,019 substantially all of the
assets of Seafla, a Milford, Ohio producer of savory and dairy flavors.  
$3,000,000 of the purchase price was paid in cash, the balance through
issuance of a $888,019 promissory note, payable $177,604 on January 1st in each
of the five years beginning 1997, together with interest at 12% per annum.  TFF
also assumed Seafla's trade payables and certain of its other liabilities.

     On December 6, 1995, TFF borrowed $3,500,000 from a bank, at one and one-
half percent above the bank's prime rate, repayable in 1998, to fund the cash
portion and the expenses of the Seafla acquisition and to provide working
capital for the Seafla business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (cont'd)
- - ----------------------------------------

     No significant acquisitions of capital assets have been made since then. 
TFF management believes that the combination of those assets and the machinery
and equipment theretofore owned by TFF are, in general, sufficient to operate
the TFF business at the level of operations that are now foreseeable.

     During 1996, TFF entered into a $2,000,000 line of credit with a bank
Bank at one-half percent above the bank's prime rate, that expires June 3, 1996.
Borrowings are collateralized by TFF accounts receivable and inventory.  TFF now
owes $1,250,000 under the line of credit as of May 15, 1996.

     At March 31, 1996, the Company's working capital of $3,389,000 was $746,000
above its working capital at March 31, 1995 of $2,643,000 and $412,000 higher
than at December 31, 1995, up $2,977,000.  As between March 31, 1996 and 1995,
the principal changes in the components of the Company's working capital were
increases in cash of $11,000, receivables of $1,224,000, inventory of $356,000,
other assets of $147,000 and accounts payable of accrued expenses of $1,052,000,
and a decrease of current portions of long term debt of $60,000.  As between
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the principal changes have been a decrease
of cash of $201,000, inventory of $221,000 and current portion of long term debt
of $52,000, and an increase in receivables of $1,233,000, other current assets
of $209,000 and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $661,000.
