                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     
Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The financial statements herein presented for the quarters ended March 31,
1995 and 1994, reflect all the adjustments that in the opinion of management
are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results
of operations for the period then ended.  All adjustments during the periods
presented, are of a normal recurring nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Because the Company's operations are seasonal in nature, the Company's liquid
resources fluctuate during the year in a way that changes very little from
year to year.  The inventory and accounts payable balances are normally at
their lowest level as of the end of the fiscal year and their highest level
as of the end of the second quarter.  This seasonal increase in the accounts
payable balance results in a temporary increase in the Debt to Equity ratio.
The increase in the inventory from the June 30, 1994 balance was funded
primarily by the increase in the borrowing under the line credit. The net
working capital as of March 31, 1995 of $3,445,000 declined $722,000 from the
June 30, 1994 balance of $4,167,000 .  The net working capital of $3,445,000
as of March 31, 1995 compares to $3,445,000 as March 31, 1994.  The decline
in net working capital was a result of the cash needed to fund the operating
activities and capital expenditures during the nine month period.  The source
of this cash was from borrowings under the line of credit agreement with the
bank.  

The Company's liquidity resources are obtained from external and internal
sources.  The Company's largest external source is a revolving line of credit
provided by a bank at the Bank's prime rate. The Company has a revolving line
of credit limit of $4,000,000 secured by inventory and accounts receivable.
As of March 31, 1995, the Company had $1,075,000 of available funds under
this revolving line of credit.  As a result of the increase in the inventory
balances during the year, the revolving line of credit limit was increased
during the quarter to $4,000,000. This compares with $2,198,000 of available
funds (on a $3,000,000 limit) as of March 31, 1994.  As of March 31, 1995,
the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants and restrictions
related to its outstanding debt. The most significant source of internal
liquidity is the Company's net working capital. One source of long term
liquidity is the sale of the idle production facility, although the Company
is not relying on the sale of this facility as a source of liquidity, the
Company's short and long-term liquidity would materially increase upon such
a sale. The Company has leased a portion of the idle facility on a short and
long term basis. The Company has undertaken an aggressive program with a
prominent real estate company to sell or lease this idle facility.

                              -2-

The Company has established a capital expenditure budget of approximately
$1,418,000 for the 1994-1995 fiscal year. Approximately $175,000 of this
total is needed to relocate Product Development and thus finalize the
consolidation of the two production facilities. At this time the Company has
not leased the area occupied by Product Development at the idle facility and
thus to conserve cash the Company is deferring this relocation until this
area is either sold or leased. The balance of the capital expenditure budget
will be used to refurbish existing equipment and to purchase new equipment.
The Company has expended $813,000 through March 31, 1995, of the budgeted
annual amount for capital additions. These expenditures were financed by
borrowings on the revolving line of credit. The balance of the budget will be
funded as the Company generates cash from the reduction of inventories.
                          

Results of Operations

Quarter ended

Net sales decreased $2,316,000 or 34% in the third quarter ended March 31,
1995.  This decline was the result of decreased demand and discontinued items
by our customers, and an extremely competitive market. 

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 83% in 1994 to 102%
in 1995. The lower sales in the quarter and the resultant decrease in the
production volume accounted for the negative gross profit. The gross profit
on the sales for the quarter were approximately equal to the net overhead
expenses for the period. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $194,000 or 28% in the
third quarter ended March 31, 1995. This decrease is  a result of the
difference between years in the Bonus/Profit Sharing expense. As result of
the lower earnings in 1995, the Company has not reached the level of earnings
required by the Bonus/Profit Sharing Plan to begin accrual of this expense.
In the third quarter ended March 31, 1994 the Company expensed $179,000
related to the Bonus/Profit Sharing accrual.

Interest expense increased $55,000 because of the increased borrowings under
the line of credit.


















                         -3-


Year-to-date

Net sales decreased $5,180,000 or 23% for the nine months ended March 31,
1995.  This decline was the result of a substantial reduction in sales orders
to a major customer in addition to lower sales to a number of other
customers. The competitive market, a mild  winter (lower sales of ingredients
for hot cereal products) and discontinuance of products by our customers are
some the main reasons for this decrease in sales. The lower sales were
partially offset by increased sales of $1,477,000 of banana and pumpkin
flakes. 
          
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 83% in 1994 to 90%
in 1995. The competitive environment has adversely affected our margins in
comparison with previous years. The lower sales resulted in lower production
volume and consequently less overhead was absorbed. The actual overhead
incurred did not decrease as result of the decreased production volume and
consequently the total cost of sales increased as a percentage of net sales. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $288,000 or 10% in the
nine month period ended March 31, 1995. Most of this decrease is  composed of
the difference between years in the Bonus/Profit Sharing expense. As result
of the lower earnings in 1995, the Company has not reached the level of
earnings required by the Bonus/Profit Sharing Plan to begin accrual of this
expense. In the nine month period ended March 31, 1994, the Company accrued
$320,000 of Bonus/Profit Sharing expense.

Interest expense increased $100,000 because of the increase in the borrowing
under the line of credit.
