PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- -------------------------------
Introduction
The matters set forth in this Report include forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may
cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties are
detailed throughout the Report and will be further discussed from time to time
in other periodic reports filed by the Company with the Commission. The
forward-looking statements included in the Report speak only as of the date
hereof.
Since 1987, the Company has manufactured and marketed pesticide-free
("organic") and preservative-free ("all natural") pasta sauces, salsas and
condiments under the brand names "Garden Valley Naturals" and "Parrot." The
Company began marketing its Parrot line of salsas in 1987, its Garden Valley
Naturals line of condiments in 1991 and its Garden Valley Naturals line of
pastas and salsas in 1994. In June 1996, the Company merged with Organic Food
Products, Inc. ("OFP"), which also marketed a line of organic food products
(including pasta sauces and salsas, together with dry cut pastas and organic
children's meals) under the "Millina's Finest" brand name. In August 1997 the
Company completed an initial public offering of its securities ("IPO") selling
1,300,000 shares of its Common Stock to the public through three underwriters at
$4.00 per share for gross proceeds of $5,200,000.
In June 1996, the Company restructured its Garden Valley Naturals, Parrot
and Millina's Finest product lines by (i) eliminating all nonorganic products,
(ii) eliminating salsas and ketchups sold under the Millina's Finest brand name,
and (iii) adding pasteurized organic fruit juices and organic frozen entrees to
its product offerings. In addition, in September 1997, the Company introduced
two new fruit salsas and intends to introduce in the Spring of 1998 two organic
grill sauces and three organic salad dressings. See "Products."
All of the Company's products (with the exception of its organic mustards)
are manufactured at the Company's 24,000 square foot processing and warehouse
facility in Morgan Hill, California. See "Manufacturing Facilities."
The Company sells its products either directly or through distributors or
independent commissioned food brokers and specialty food brokers to (i) health
food and specialty food stores, (ii) club stores (including Price/Costco and
BJ's), and (iii) retail chain and independent grocery stores (including Safeway,
A&P, Waldbaum's, Trader Joe's, Stop 'N Shop, Edward's, Lucky's and Big Y). See
"Distribution and Marketing."
Strategy
The Company's business strategy is to (i) increase revenues by offering
additional organic food products through the Company's existing distribution
network, (ii) reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies by using the
Company's excess manufacturing capabilities to increase the volume of products
it manufactures for itself as well as for others, (iii) expand the Company's
current geographic and retail store distribution by offering the Company's
products in new markets and increasing distribution in existing markets, and
(iv) specialize exclusively in the marketing of organic food products.
3
<PAGE>
(i) Offer Additional Organic Food Products. Since its merger with OFP, the
Company has added organic fruit juices , organic grill sauces and organic frozen
entrees to its product offerings. The Company believes that offering additional
products will increase revenues without proportionately increasing costs, due to
the economies of scale which result from volume product manufacturing
efficiencies as well as the utilization of the Company's existing distribution
channels to offer new product lines.
(ii) Increase Manufacturing Volumes. The Company believes it can reduce per unit
manufacturing costs by using the Company's excess manufacturing capabilities to
increase manufacturing volume. The Company seeks to increase the volume of
products it manufactures by increasing sales of existing products, increasing
its new product offerings and by manufacturing food products for other food
marketers on a contract basis. In this regard, the Company manufactures pasta
sauces for Trader Joe's, but has no other pending agreements or arrangements to
manufacture for others.
(iii) Expand Geographic and Retail Store Distribution. Although the Company has
national geographic distribution for its products in health food stores,
distribution of products through club stores and grocery stores is primarily
limited to northern California and the northeast coast of the United States. The
Company is seeking additional regional distributors and independent food
brokers, and intends to offer advertising concessions and pay retail store
slotting fees in order to increase its club store and grocery store sales
throughout the United States.
(iv) Specialize Exclusively in Organic Food Products. Following its merger with
OFP, the Company eliminated all nonorganic food lines from its product
offerings. The Company believes it can achieve superior product recognition and
customer loyalty by promoting awareness that the Company only markets organic
foods.
Products
The Company introduces and discontinues products on a regular basis,
consistent with customary practices of other firms in the processed food
industry. The Company's current product lines (ranked by percentage of total
sales) are as follows:
Organic Pasta Sauces and Pastas
The Company markets a line of 18 organic pasta sauces under the Garden
Valley Naturals and Millina's Finest brand names. The pasta sauces are all
natural and most are fat-free. Varieties include garden vegetable, sun-dried
tomato, roasted garlic tomato, tomato mushroom, sweet pepper and onions, hot and
spicy, smoked garlic and zesty basil. The Company also offers uncooked organic
dry cut pastas including spaghetti, linguini, fettuccine, angel hair, rotini,
penne and bow tie.
Organic Salsas
The Company markets a line of 16 organic and all natural salsas under the
Garden Valley Naturals brand name including five varieties of fat-free and
vinegar-free salsas (sun-dried tomato, roasted garlic tomato, black bean, black
bean and corn and chunky organic tomato) in three levels of heat, mild, medium
and hot. A medium green tomatillo salsa is also available. The Company also
markets a line of ten organic salsas under the Parrot brand name. Varieties
include chunky, black bean, tomatillo, spicy gourmet and enchilada sauce.

<PAGE>
Organic Condiments
The Company offers two varieties of organic catsups and three organic
mustards under the Garden Valley Naturals brand name. The tomato catsup and
spicy garlic catsup are sweetened with organic fruit juice. All three mustards
use organic mustard seed for flavoring and are offered in yellow, stoneground
and dijon. All condiments are fat-free and sugar-free.
The Company also offers under the Parrot brand name an organic enchilada
sauce which is fat free and low in sodium and two organic fruit based salsas and
intends to introduce two grill sauces used for barbecuing hamburgers, hot dogs,
chicken and fish in September 1997.
Children's Meals
The Company offers three canned organic children's meals, composed of pasta
O's in tomato sauce and tomato cheese sauce and beans with veggie franks.
Other New Products
The Company introduced a line of four pasteurized organic fruit juices
under the "Cinagro" brand name in apple-carrot, tomato, vegetable and
carrot/lemon-lime flavors in May 1997, and introduced an additional four fruit
juices in July 1997. In September 1997, the Company introduced three low fat
organic frozen entrees, black bean and corn ravioli, wild mushroom ravioli and
roasted vegetable ravioli. The Company intends to introduce in the Spring of
1998 three organic salad dressings and two organic grill sauces.
Distribution and Marketing
The Company sells its products either directly or through distributors or
independent commissioned food brokers and specialty food brokers to (i) health
food and specialty food stores, (ii) club stores (including Price/Costco and
BJ's) and (iii) retail chain and independent grocery stores (including Safeway,
A&P, Waldbaum's, Trader Joe's, Stop 'N Shop, Edward's and Lucky's). Currently
the Company's products are offered in over 6,000 health food stores, 250 club
stores and 1,200 grocery stores located in all 50 states and in the Far East,
Middle East and Canada. The Company currently uses 12 specialty food brokers and
50 food distributors to sell to health food and other independent retail stores
and eight food brokers to sell to club stores and certain grocery store chains.
The Company also sells directly to other grocery store chains. In order to
increase its distribution and sales, primarily to club stores and grocery store
chains, the Company pays "slotting fees", which are payments made by food
processors and distributors to retail stores in order to acquire retail shelf
space for their food products.
The Company's product marketing emphasizes the organic, all natural and
generally fat-free content of its products as a healthful and tasty alternative
to similar traditional food products. The Company promotes its Millina's Finest
product line for sale to natural food and health food stores and the specialty
or "gourmet" departments of grocery stores. The Garden Valley Naturals and
Parrot brands are targeted primarily for club stores and grocery stores with
Garden Valley Naturals representing the higher priced product line. The Company
also promotes a pricing strategy in which its organic products are offered at
prices only slightly higher than their nonorganic counterparts. One customer
(Price/Costco) accounted for 23.0% of the Company's revenues for the year ended
June 30, 1996, and 20.9% of the Company's revenues for the year ended June 30,
1997. A loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations.
5
<PAGE>
Manufacturing Facilities and Suppliers
The Company manufactures its products in a 24,000 square foot food
processing warehouse facility it leases in Morgan Hill, California. Manufacture
involves mixing the product's ingredients in 1,000 gallon kettles and then
bottling, labeling and casing the product for delivery to the customer. Some
products are packaged in shrink-wrapped combination packs consisting of two or
more separate products in one tray. The Company manufactures all of its
products, except its three mustard condiments, which are processed and packaged
for the Company by a co-packer. In addition to the Morgan Hill facility, the
Company uses public warehouse facilities on the east coast of the United States
for inventory storage and distribution.
While many raw materials are available from a number of sources, the
Company currently purchases its organic tomato products from only three
suppliers and has written agreements covering only a portion of its anticipated
tomato product purchases. Two suppliers, Sun Garden Packing Company and Gilroy
Canning Company, each accounted for 10% or more of the Company's purchases for
the year ended June 30, 1997. The Company does not have a written agreement with
either supplier but believes that similar products are available from a number
of other suppliers for approximately the same prices.
Competition
The natural food and health food industries in general and the pasta sauce,
salsa, condiment and fruit juice businesses in particular are highly
competitive, and there are numerous multinational, regional and local firms that
currently compete, or are capable of competing, with the Company. Multinational
nonorganic (i) pasta sauce competitors include Prego, Ragu, Classico and
Newman's Own, (ii) salsa competitors include Pace, El Paso and La Victoria,
(iii) condiment competitors include Heinz, French's and Guilden's, and (iv)
fruit juice competitors include Minute Maid and Del Monte. The Company also
competes with national pasta manufacturers such as RF, Ronzoni and DeBoles,
smaller regional or local organic or natural pasta sauce and salsa competitors
such as Simply Natural, Muir Glen and Enrico and smaller fruit juice competitors
such as Odwalla and Knudsen. Most of the Company's competitors are larger than
the Company and have more financial, marketing and management resources, and
brand name recognition, than the Company.
Competitive factors in the pasta sauce, salsa and related specialty foods
industry include price, quality and flavor. The Company positions its product
lines to be slightly more expensive than their nonorganic food counterparts but
consistent with prices charged by other organic food marketers. The Company
believes its products compete favorably against other organic foods with respect
to quality and flavor.
Trade Names and Trademarks
The Company has registered its "Millina's Finest" and Parrot trademarks in
California and has applied for federal trademark registration. The Company has
applied for California trademark and trade name protection for its "Garden
Valley Naturals" brand. There can be no assurance that any trademark or trade
name registrations will be granted to the Company, or, if granted, that the
trademarks or trade names will not be copied or challenged by others.

Government Regulation
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local regulations
relating to cleanliness, maintenance of food production equipment, food storage
and food handling, and the Company is subject to unannounced on-site inspections
of its manufacturing facilities. As a manufacturer and distributor of foods, the
Company is subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
("FDA"), state food and health boards and local health boards in connection with
the manufacturing, handling, storage, transportation, labeling and processing of
food products. In order to offer organic food products, the Company is also
subject to inspection and regulation by the USDA. Regulations in new markets and
future changes in the regulations may adversely impact the Company by raising
the cost to manufacture and deliver the Company's products and/or by affecting
the perceived healthfulness of the Company's products. A failure to comply with
one or more regulatory requirements could interrupt the Company's operations and
result in a variety of sanctions, including fines and the withdrawal of the
Company's products from store shelves. The Company holds all material licenses
and permits required to conduct its operations.
The Company is also subject to federal and state laws establishing minimum
wages and regulating overtime and working conditions. Since some of the
Company's personnel are paid at rates not far above the federal or California
state minimum wage, recent and future increases in the federal or California
minimum wage have and will result in increases in the Company's labor costs.
Employees
The Company employs 45 individuals including its executive officers, food
production, processing and warehousing employees and administrative personnel.
The Company's employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement,
but the Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
- -------------------------------
The Company leases approximately 24,000 square feet for its corporate
office, manufacturing and warehouse facility in Morgan Hill, California from a
non-affiliate on a seven-year lease expiring April 30, 2003, at a monthly rental
of $6,480. As of March 1997, the rental rate increases 3% per year. The Company
also leases 800 square feet of temporary office space at the same location on a
monthly basis for $350 per month. The Company is negotiating with its landlord
to lease to the Company an additional 26,000 square feet of space for additional
warehousing facilities, although no such lease has been executed. (STILL TRUE?)
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------------------------
In May 1997 Gilroy Canning Company brought an action against the Company
("Gilroy Canning Company vs. Organic Food Products, Inc. et al" Civil Action No.
97ASO2468 in the Superior Court of California) alleging that the Company failed
to make a payment for tomato products in the amount of $398,000 due March 31,
1997 with an additional payment of $386,775 due July 30, 1997. The Company
subsequently paid the March 31, 1997 and July 30, 1997 payments, and the action
was dismissed with prejudice.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
Since 1987, the Company has manufactured and marketed pesticide-free
("organic") and preservative-free ("all natural") pasta sauces, salsas and
condiments under the brand names "Garden Valley Naturals" and "Parrot." The
Company began marketing its Parrot line of salsas in 1987, its Garden Valley
Naturals line of condiments in 1991 and its Garden Valley Naturals line of
pastas and salsas in 1994. In June 1996, the Company merged with OFP, which also
marketed (since 1988) a line of organic food products (including pasta sauces
and salsas, together with dry cut pastas and organic children's meals) under the
"Millina's Finest" brand name.
The Company was incorporated in July 1987 as S&D Foods, Inc. In November
1995, the Company changed its name to Garden Valley Naturals, Inc. ("GVN").
Following its June 1996 merger with OFP, the Company's name was changed to
8
<PAGE>
Organic Food Products, Inc. In August 1997 the Company raised gross proceeds of
$5,200,000 through its IPO. The Company sells its products either directly or
through distributors or independent commissioned food brokers and specialty food
brokers to (i) health food and specialty food stores, (ii) club stores
(including Price/Costco and BJ's), and (iii) retail chain and independent
grocery stores (including Safeway, A&P, Waldbaum's, Trader Joe's, Stop 'N Shop,
Edward's, Lucky's and Big Y).
The Company's operating results could vary from period to period as a
result of a number of factors, including the purchasing patterns of significant
customers, the timing of new product introductions by the Company and its
competitors, the amount of slotting fees and new product advertising expenses
incurred by the Company, variations in sales by distribution channel,
fluctuations in market prices of raw materials and competitive pricing policies.
These factors could cause the Company's performance to differ from investor
expectations, resulting in volatility in the price of the Common Stock.
Moreover, the amortization of goodwill in connection with the OFP merger is
expected to result in a charge against the Company's operations in the
approximate amount of $100,000 per year.
Investors should carefully consider the following information as well as
other information contained in this Report before making an investment in the
Company's Common Stock. Information included in this Report contains
"forward-looking statements" which can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should" or
"anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy. See, e.g., "Item 1-Strategy." No
assurance can be given that the future results covered by the forward-looking
statements will be achieved. The following matters constitute cautionary
statements identifying important factors with respect to such forward-looking
statements, including certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to vary materially from the future results covered in such
forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause actual results to
vary materially from the future results covered in such forward-looking
statements.
During 1997, marketing expenses were increased to (i) develop new channels
of distribution, (ii) expand existing channels into new areas of the country,
(iii) launch the Company's new juice and Kids Meals lines; and (iv) pursue
additional co-pack customers. These activities required significant expenditures
for personnel, marketing costs, store promotions, samples, and in-store
demonstrations.
The following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
Historical results and percentage relationships among accounts are not
necessarily an indication of trends in operating results for any future period.
The financial statements and the analysis set forth below present the historical
results of operations of OFP for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. In
addition, the analysis discusses the pro forma results of operations of OFP and
GVN on a pro forma combined basis for the year ended June 30, 1996.
9
<PAGE>
Year Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1996
Revenues
OFP's revenues for the year ended June 30, 1997 ("1997") were
$11,379,000 compared to $7,642,000 in 1996, an increase of $3,737,000. The
revenues for 1997 included the revenues of GVN for the entire period. The
decrease in revenues in 1997 was due to the phase out of the Company's sales of
organic raw fruit and additional focus by the Company in developing new product
lines and completing the IPO.
On a pro forma combined basis, revenues for OFP and GVN decreased
$2,057,000, or 15.3% compared to 1996. The principal reason for this decline was
the decision to phase out the Company's sales of organic raw fruit, due to lower
profit margins on bulk sales which represented a substantial portion of the
total decrease.
The Company placed marketing emphasis on expanding its Millina's Finest
brand in health food stores, while reducing expenditures for slotting fees in
GVN's club and grocery store markets. Salsa lines were consolidated under the
Parrot brand, other duplicating product lines were simplified and unprofitable
products were eliminated. Management believes these decisions reduced
redundancies and competitiveness in each market and promoted product
recognition. The Company plans to reinstitute slotting fees in markets where it
believes payment of the fees will be offset by increased sales.
Cost of Goods Sold
OFP's cost of goods sold for 1997 was $7,530,000 or 66.2% of sales, versus
$5,822,000, or 76.2% of sales for 1996. The cost of goods sold for 1997 included
the cost of goods sold of GVN for the entire period.
On a pro forma combined basis, cost of goods sold for OFP and GVN for 1996
was $10,521,000, which is $2,991,000 more than 1997. The reduction in 1997 is
partly due to the decision to promote sales of products with higher profit
margins, but is also due to increased efficiency at the manufacturing level, and
an elimination of the use of co-packer relationships. Costs were also reduced by
the June 1996 merger with GVN, which resulted in economies of scale from
combined operations and greater leverage in negotiating purchase contracts and
pricing. The cost of goods in 1997 was substantially lower than the costs
associated with either company's pre-merger costs of production.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
OFP's sales and marketing expense for 1997 was $2,409,000, or 21.2% of
sales, versus $954,000 or 12.5% of sales for 1996. The sales and marketing
expense for 1997 included the sales and marketing expense of GVN for the entire
period.
10
<PAGE>
On a pro forma combined basis, sales and marketing expense of OFP and GVN
for 1996 was $2,186,000, a decrease of $223,000 over 1997. During 1997, OFP's
marketing expenses were increased in order to (i) develop new channels of
distribution (ii) expand existing channels into new areas of the country, (iii)
launch the Company's new juice and Kids Meals lines; and (iv) pursue additional
co-pack customers.
General and Administrative Expenses
OFP's general and administrative expenses for 1997 were $1,119,000, or 9.8%
of sales, versus $1,245,000 or 16.3% of sales for 1996. The general and
administrative expenses for 1997 included the general and administrative
expenses of GVN for the entire year.
On a pro forma combined basis, the general and administrative expenses for
1996 were $1,245,000, which is $126,000 more than 1997. The combined companies
reduced general and administrative overhead through the elimination of
redundancies and enhanced operating efficiency. Duplicated staff was eliminated,
and office space, insurance and professional services were revised. Controls
have been installed to monitor expenditures.
Interest Expense
OFP's interest expense for 1997 was $261,000 versus $349,000 for 1996. The
interest expense for 1997 includes the interest expense of GVN for the entire
period.
On a pro forma combined basis, the interest expense for OFP and GVN for
1996 was $404,000, which is $143,000 more than 1997. The interest expense for
1997 included approximately $118,000 of interest related to $1,560,000 of notes
payable from two shareholders of which a portion of the proceeds of the IPO were
used to pay off a substantial amount of the outstanding balance. The balance of
the interest expense is the result of the Company's revolving line of credit. In
1997, this line of credit was renegotiated, providing the Company with a larger
and more diversified facility, at an interest rate of prime plus 1%. A portion
of the reduction in interest expense is due to the renegotiated lower interest
rate.
Seasonality
Historically, GVN and OFP have experienced little seasonal fluctuation in
revenues. In relation to product purchasing, the Company will seasonally
contract for certain product for the entire year at harvest time or at planting
time to secure raw materials through the year. These purchases take place
annually from early spring to mid-summer and are effected to reduce the risk of
price swings due to demand fluctuations. These annual purchases can create
overages or shortages in inventory. The Company's intention to sell certain bulk
raw materials to other manufacturers may assist in reducing any overages and
should allow for more effective purchasing of the required raw materials.
11
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company used proceeds from the IPO to purchase raw materials and
equipment, to repay debt and to provide marketing funds to introduce new
products and introduce existing products into new markets. Equipment purchases
were used for retooling and to acquire additional packaging equipment to convert
production from boxed cases to shrink wrap cases.
During 1997, the Company financed its operations from current sales and the
resulting net profit, the sale of stock, and the securing of debt. In February
1997, the Company established a new credit facility of $2,000,000, which
included a working capital line of $1,700,000 and a new equipment line of
$300,000, at an annual rate of prime plus 1%. Notes payable increased from
$1,049,107 at June 30, 1996 to $1,825,000 at June 30, 1997, reflecting this
increased credit facility. The Company also generated net proceeds of $1,700,000
from additional equity sold in a private placement in July 1996. These funds
were used to purchase inventory, for working capital and to retire Common Stock.
Subsequent to the IPO, these lines were paid to zero, however, the credit
facility is still available.
During 1997, capital equipment was purchased increasing property by
$383,000 to $1,194,000. Debt to related parties was reduced by $373,000,
payables were increased by $44,000 and $78,000 of Common Stock was retired.
Additional capital was used to promote new product lines, and improve markets
for existing lines. Receivables increased by $525,000 to $1,344,000, and
inventories increased by $2,022,000 to $3,452,000. Deferred offering costs
increased by $350,000 to $421,000.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company's cash position was limited. Investment in
equipment, inventory buildup and prepaid IPO expenses created cash shortages. As
of September 1997, the Company's cash position had improved.
The Company believes that existing cash resources and available credit
facilities will be sufficient to fund the Company's estimated cash requirements
for the year ending June 30, 1998. The Company, however, may also raise capital
through the issuance of long-term or short-term debt or the issuance of
securities in private or public transactions if necessary to fund future
expansion of its business. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing
for future transactions can be obtained. If such financing is sought and
obtained by the Company, it may be necessary to encumber the Company's assets
which could be lost in the event of any default by the Company. Moreover, there
can be no assurance that the Company would be able to generate sufficient funds
to satisfy interest payments due on any such financing.
The Company's future results of operations and the other forward-looking
statements contained in this document, in particular the statements concerning
plant efficiencies and capacities, capital spending, research and development,
competition, marketing and manufacturing operations and other information
provided herein involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the
factors discussed above, among the other factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially are general business conditions and the general economy;
competitors' pricing and marketing efforts; availability of third-party material
products at reasonable prices; risk of nonpayment of accounts receivable; risks
of inventory obsolescence due to shifts in market demand; timing of product
introductions; and litigation involving product liabilities and consumer issues.

ORGANIC FOOD PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of
Estimates:
Nature of Operations:
Organic Food Products, Inc. (formerly Garden Valley Naturals, Inc.) is a
Corporation which was duly formed and organized under the laws of the State
of California. The Corporation was incorporated on July 7, 1987. The
principal business purpose of the Company is the production and
distribution of organic food products throughout the United States.
Acquisition and Merger:
As of June 28, 1996, Garden Valley Naturals, Inc. (GVN) acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Organic Food Products, Inc. (OFP) for 2,250,000
shares of GVN's common stock. Under the terms of the acquisition, OFP
obtained fifty percent (50%) of the voting control of GVN. Although GVN is
the parent company of OFP following the transaction, the transaction was
accounted for as a recapitalization of OFP and a purchase by OFP of GVN, as
the principal shareholder of OFP obtained forty-nine and one-half percent
(49.5%) of the voting rights, and, as the single largest shareholder,
effectively controls the post-merger company. The accompanying financial
statements of OFP include the accounts of OFP for all periods presented,
and the accounts of GVN from June 28, 1996, the effective date of the
acquisition.
Pervasiveness of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation:
In 1996, the Company adopted for footnote disclosure purposes only, SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation), which requires that
companies measure the cost of stock-based employee compensation at the
grant date based on the value of the award and recognize this cost over the
service period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the
intrinsic value method whereby compensation cost is the excess of the
market prices of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the
amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company follows the allowance method of recognizing uncollectible
accounts receivable. The allowance method recognizes bad debt expense as a
percentage of accounts receivable based on a review of the individual
accounts outstanding, and the Company's prior history of uncollectible
accounts receivable. At June 30, 1997, an allowance of $163,512 has been
established for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable.
Inventory:
Inventory quantities and valuations are determined by a physical count and
pricing of same. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, first-in,
first-out method, or market. At June 30, 1997, inventory is stated net of
an allowance for obsolete inventory, in the amount of $40,000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of
Estimates: (Continued)
Earnings Per Share:
Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for each of the respective periods, after giving retroactive
effect to the 2,250,000 shares issued in the purchase transaction. In
addition, for purposes of this computation, the stock split and private
offering (as described in Note 8) have been given retroactive effect.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company completed an initial
public offering of its common stock. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission rules, shares of common stock issued for consideration below the
anticipated offering price per share prior to filing of the registration
statement have been included in the calculation of common stock equivalent
shares as if they had been outstanding for all periods presented. In
addition, shares of common stock that are subject to options and warrants
having exercise prices that are below the anticipated offering price per
share, whether or not exercisable, have been included in the earnings per
share calculation, using the treasury stock method.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of
the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as
incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. For the
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, depreciation expense was $140,988 and
$18,875, respectively.
A summary of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
Computer software 5 years
Leasehold improvements 7 years
Machinery and equipment 7 - 20 years
Office equipment 5 years
Printing plates 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
The Company is the lessee of vehicles and equipment under capital lease
agreements expiring through December, 2000. The assets and liabilities
under the capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of
the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the assets. The
assets are depreciated over their estimated productive lives. Depreciation
of the assets under the capital leases is included in depreciation expense,
as noted above, for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Deferred Offering Costs:
Deferred offering costs represent costs incurred in connection with the
Company's equity offering subsequent to the balance sheet date. As of June
30, 1997, the Company had incurred $421,338 in relation to this activity.
Deferred offering costs will be charged against the net proceeds from the
offering.
Income Taxes:
Prior to the merger, OFP had elected to be treated as a Subchapter S
Corporation for federal and state tax reporting purposes. As such, all
taxable income and available tax credits are passed from the corporate
entity to the individual shareholders. It is the responsibility of the
individual shareholders to report the taxable income and tax credits, and
pay the resulting taxes. Effective June 28, 1996, the date of the merger,
the Subchapter S election was revoked.
Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from revenues
and expenses reported for financial accounting and tax reporting purposes
in different periods. Deferred income taxes represent the estimated tax
asset or liability from different depreciation methods used for financial
accounting and tax reporting purposes and for timing differences in the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and valuation allowances.

was $94,887. The Company evaluates the estimated net realizable value of
its goodwill at each balance sheet date, and records writedowns if the net
book value exceeds net realizable value.

The fair value of the Company's notes payable, capital lease obligations,

All stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not less than
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant,
and in accordance with accounting for such options utilizing the intrinsic
value method, there is no related compensation expense recorded in the
Company's financial statements. Had compensation cost for stock-based
compensation been determined based on the fair value of the grant dates
consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts presented below:

Pro forma 13,987 (735,500)
Earnings (loss) per share
As reported $ .01 $ (.11)
Pro forma - (.13)
The fair value of option and warrant grants are estimated on the date of
grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following
assumptions for grants in the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively; expected life of options of five years, expected volatility
of 14.4% and 19.3%, risk-free interest rates of 8% and a 0% dividend yield.
The fair value at date of grant for options and warrants for the
aforementioned years approximated $.29 and $.23 per option, respectively.
14. Subsequent Events:
The Company completed its initial public offering of 1,300,000 shares of
its no par value common stock at a price of $4.00 per share sold under its
Registration Statement and Prospectus dated August 8, 1997. Gross proceeds
of approximately $5,200,000 were received by the Company.
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company issued 130,000 warrants to an

Board of Directors' meetings and have been granted an aggregate of 100,000 stock
options under the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan exercisable at prices of
$2.00 to $2.50 per share.
1995 Stock Option Plan
In November 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan")
which provides for the grant of stock options intended to qualify as "incentive
stock options" or "nonqualified stock options" within the meaning of Section 422
of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Incentive stock
options are issuable only to eligible officers, directors and key employees of
the Company.
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The Company had
reserved 625,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. Under the
Plan, the Board of Directors determines which individuals shall receive stock
options, the time period during which the options may be partially or fully
exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under each
option and the option price.
For incentive stock options (i) the per share exercise price of the Common
Stock may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
the option is granted and (ii) no person who owns, directly or indirectly, at
the time of the granting of an incentive stock option, more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company is eligible
to receive stock options unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of grant.
No stock options may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee,
the option may only be exercisable by the optionee. Stock options may be
exercised only if the option holder remains continuously associated with the
Company from the date of grant to the date of exercise. Stock options under the
Plan must be granted within ten years from the effective date of the Plan. The
exercise date of a stock option granted under the Plan cannot be later than ten
years from the date of grant. Any options that expire unexercised or that
terminate upon an optionee's ceasing to be employed by the Company become
available once again for issuance. Shares issued upon exercise of an option will
rank equally with other shares then outstanding.
As of September 30, 1997, 625,000 stock options have been granted under the
Plan to officers, directors and employees at exercise prices of either $2.00 or
$2.50 per share including an aggregate of 555,000 options granted to executive
officers and directors.

At June 30, 1997, the balance due to Mr. Nicholson under the promissory note was
$84,478.
In May 1997, the Company borrowed $602,000 for working capital from a group
of lenders evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest at 10% per annum due
the earlier of the closing of the IPO or May 1998. As additional consideration
for the loans, the Company issued to the lenders 200,600 common stock purchase
warrants, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock at $3.00 per share at any time until December 31, 1999. The loans were
repaid with proceeds of the IPO.

Organic Ingredients, Inc. ("OGI"), a company 50% owned by Mr. Battendieri,
the Company's President, supplies certain organic ingredients used primarily in
the Company's fruit juice products. Total purchases from OGI amounted to less
than 5% of the Company's total product purchases in 1997. The price of, and
terms for, the ingredients are fair, reasonable and consistent with prices and
terms which would be available to the Company from third parties.
The Company believes that the terms and conditions of the above
transactions were fair, reasonable and consistent with terms the Company could
have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Any future transactions with the
Company's executive officers or directors will be entered into on terms that are
no less favorable to the Company than those that are available from unaffiliated
third parties, and all such transactions will be approved by a majority of the
Company's disinterested directors.
