                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    ---------------------

     Technology Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (the "company," "us," "we" or "our")
develops, manufactures, and markets flavor and fragrance products used to
provide or enhance flavors or fragrances in a wide variety of consumer and
industrial products.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year
ending December 31, 2000. These unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

</TABLE>


3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
    ------------------

     Basic net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number
of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
per share for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June
30, 1999 was calculated using the weighted average common and common equivalent
shares that were outstanding during the period. The effect of common stock
equivalents for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
June 30,1999 was not material and, thus, diluted net income per share was not
presented.


4.   NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTIES
     -------------------------------------

     On June 1, 2000, our Chairman and President surrendered to us 100,000
shares of the company's common stock owned by him which resulted in a partial
reduction of $141,300 of his outstanding loan to us.

     NET SALES. Net sales increased by $679,000, or 17.9%, to $4,472,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $3,793,000 for the same period last year
and increased by $1,253,000 to $8,688,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
from $7,435,000 for the comparable six-month period of 1999. The increases were
principally attributable to the launching of new beverage flavor products to new
and existing customers and increased business on certain existing flavor
products.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 44.3% on
sales of $4,472,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
45.0% on sales of $3,793,000 for the same period last year and decreased to
43.0% on sales of $8,688,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared
to 44.2% on sales of $7,435,000 for the comparable six- month period of 1999.
The decreases in gross profit for the 2000 periods were due primarily to lower
gross margins on new flavor products and differences in product mix.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

     SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased by $57,000 to $632,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $575,000 for the same period last year and
increased by $97,000 to $1,244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
$1,147,000 for the comparable six-month period of 1999. The increases were due
principally to the hiring of an additional sales person during the latter part
of 1999 to support expected growth in sales during 2000.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased by $65,000 to $467,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$402,000 for the comparable 1999 period and increased by $99,000 to $909,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $810,000 for the comparable six-month
period of 1999. The increases were due principally to general wage increases and
implementation of a management incentive plan.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 of $360,000 were consistent with the
comparable 1999 period of $364,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
research and development expenses of $698,000 were consistent with the
comparable 1999 period of $676,000.

     AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Amortization expense increased by $8,000 to $49,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $41,000 for the comparable 1999
period and increased by $16,000 to $97,000 for the comparable six-month period
of 1999. The increases were due principally to the increase in deferred
financing costs associated with our revolving credit facility entered into June
1999.

     TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased by $126,000 to
$1,508,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $1,382,000 for the
comparable period in 1999 and increased by $234,000 to $2,948,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $2,714,000 for the comparable six-month period
of 1999.

     INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense, net for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2000 of $46,000 and $88,000, respectively, was consistent
with the comparable 1999 periods of $46,000 and $86,000, respectively. Higher
interest rates during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to the comparable periods of 1999 principally offset lower outstanding
borrowings during the 2000 periods as compared to the comparable periods of
1999.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Provision for income taxes represents state and
franchise taxes and federal alternative minimum tax. There were no federal
income tax provisions for 2000 and 1999 since we had available net operating
loss carryforwards.

     NET INCOME. Net income was $413,000 and $673,000 for the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 2000 as compared to net income for the
comparable 1999 periods of $276,000 and $479,000, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, our financing needs have been met through the issuance of
equity and debt securities and commercial bank loans. On June 29, 1999, we
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a lender which provided for a
three year $3,000,000 revolving credit facility. We call this revolving credit
facility the "1999 Credit Facility". Outstanding borrowings under the 1999
Credit Facility initially bore interest at a rate of three quarters of one
percent (0.75%) in excess of a prime lending rate, and is subject to certain
adjustments based upon our financial performance. Effective January 1, 2000, the
interest rate was reduced to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) in excess of a
prime a lending rate. Borrowings under the 1999 Credit Facility are subject to
certain eligibility requirements relating to our receivables and inventories and
the discretion of the lender. Outstanding borrowings are secured by
substantially all of our assets, including our product formulations. We must
comply with certain financial and other covenants contained in the Loan and
Security Agreement. Our subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the
1999 Credit Facility. Borrowings under the 1999 Credit Facility at June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999 were $2,159,000 and $1,545,000, respectively. Borrowings
during the calendar year are generally higher than at the year-end date. At June
30, 2000, $841,000 was available for additional borrowings in accordance with
the terms of the 1999 Credit Facility. The outstanding borrowings under the 1999
Credit Facility are classified as a current liability. At June 30, 2000, the
outstanding borrowings bore interest at 9.75 % per annum.

     At June 30, 2000, working capital increased by $758,000 or 28% to
$3,422,000 from $2,664,000 at December 31, 1999.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds On June 9, 2000.

          We granted non-qualified stock options to an investor relations firm
          under our 1999 Stock Option Plan for the purchase of 100,000 shares of
          our common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, the market
          price of the common stock on the date of the grant. Such options vest
          commencing one month after the grant date in eleven equal monthly
          installments of 8,333 shares and 8,337 shares in the twelfth month.
          The options were granted as partial consideration for investor
          relations services to be rendered to our company, and in reliance upon
          an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of
          1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any
          public offering.

          On June 26, 2000, a former investor relations consultant to our
          company exercised warrants to purchase 107,143 shares of our common
          stock at an exercise price of $0.56 per share. The sale of these
          shares to the former investor relations consultant was made pursuant
          to an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
          of 1933, as amended, set forth in Section 4(2) thereof as a
          transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
