an exercise  price of $8.00 per share which expires  April 8, 2000.  The Company
acquired certain intangible assets for $5.9 million and acquisition costs of $.5
million  are  being  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over 15  years.  The
non-interest  bearing note was recorded at its estimated present value which was
discounted at 10.5%.

1998; the $2.0 million term loan due July 31, 1998; $9.3 million  outstanding on
a revolving line of credit;  $3.6 million in unsecured  subordinated  promissory

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1997

         Net Sales.  Net sales for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1998 were
$11.8  million,  an increase of $5.1 million,  or 76%, from $6.7 million for the
comparable  period in 1997.  This  increase was primarily due to the addition of
new retail accounts, including a major conventional supermarket chain, increased
sales to existing accounts, the introduction of several new products,  including
organic chocolate milk and cottage cheese, a price increase, and sales generated
under the Juniper Valley Brand.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$3.8 million,  an increase of $2.3 million,  or 155%,  from $1.5 million for the
comparable period in 1997. As a percentage of net sales,  gross profit increased
to 31.8% from 21.8%.  This increase is primarily due to decreases in losses from
the Company  reaching  capacity at the Company's  organic dairy farm in Southern
Idaho (the "Idaho Dairy").

         Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1998 were $2.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 82.8%, from $1.3 million
for the  comparable  period  in 1997.  As a  percentage  of net  sales,  selling
expenses  increased to 20.7% from 19.8%.  The  increase in selling  expenses was
primarily due to increased  levels of marketing  expenditures,  including hiring
additional marketing personnel.

         General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   General  and  administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $.8 million,  an increase
of $.3 million, or 64.7%, from $.5 million during the comparable period in 1997.
As a percentage of net sales,  general and administrative  expenses decreased to
6.4% from 6.8% due to a larger sales base.

         Other Expense,  Net. Other expense, net for the three months ended June
30, 1998 was $.7 million, an increase of $.5 million from $.2 million during the
comparable  period in 1997.  This increase is primarily  attributable  to higher
levels of indebtedness  incurred to acquire the remaining  interest in the Idaho
Dairy,  to finance the  acquisition  and development of a second organic farm in
Maryland (the  "Maryland  Dairy") and to finance the  acquisition of the Juniper
Valley Farms brand.

         Minority  Interest in Loss of Subsidiary.  Minority interest in loss of
subsidiary  includes  the  minority  stockholders'  share  of  the  losses  from
operations of the Idaho Dairy for the period prior to the Company's  acquisition
of the remainder of Sunrise Organic Farms,  Inc. in the second quarter of fiscal
1997.  Minority  interest  in loss of  subsidiary  was $.1 million for the three
months  ended  June 30,  1997.  In 1998 the  operations  of the Idaho  Dairy are
reflected in the Company's cost of sales.

Six months ended June 30, 1998, Compared to Six months ended June 30, 1997

         Net Sales.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $21.9
million,  an  increase  of $9.0  million,  or 70%,  from $12.9  million  for the
comparable  period in 1997.  This  increase was primarily due to the addition of
new retail accounts, including a major conventional supermarket chain, increased
sales to existing accounts, the introduction of several new products,  including
organic chocolate milk and cottage cheese, a price increase, and sales generated
under the Juniper Valley Brand.

         Gross  Profit.  Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
$6.8 million,  an increase of $4.3 million,  or 173%,  from $2.5 million for the
comparable period in 1997. As a percentage of net sales,  gross profit increased
to 31.2% from 19.4%.  This increase is due primarily to decreases in losses from
the Company reaching capacity at the Idaho Dairy.

         Selling  Expenses.  Selling  expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1998 were $4.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 84.2%, from $2.5 million
for the  comparable  period  in 1997.  As a  percentage  of net  sales,  selling
expenses  increased to 20.9% from 19.3%.  The  increase in selling  expenses was
primarily due to increased  levels of marketing  expenditures,  including hiring
additional marketing personnel.

         General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   General  and  administrative
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $1.4  million,  an increase
of $.5 million, or 57.6%, from $.9 million during the comparable period in 1997.
As a percentage of net sales,  general and administrative  expenses decreased to
6.3% from 6.7% due to a larger sales base.

         Other Expense,  Net.  Other expense,  net for the six months ended June
30, 1998 was $1.2  million,  an increase of $.8 million from $.4 million  during
the comparable period in 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to higher
levels of indebtedness  incurred to acquire the remaining  interest in the Idaho
Dairy,  to finance the  acquisition and development of the Maryland Dairy and to
finance the acquisition of the Juniper Valley Farms brand.

         Minority  Interest in Loss of Subsidiary.  Minority interest in loss of
subsidiary  includes  the  minority  stockholders'  share  of  the  losses  from
operations of the Idaho Dairy for the period prior to the Company's  acquisition
of the remainder of Sunrise Organic Farms,  Inc. in the second quarter of fiscal
1997. Minority interest in loss of subsidiary was $.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. In 1998 the  operations of the Idaho Dairy are reflected in
the Company's cost of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash from Operations. Cash provided by operations during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 was $1.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million from cash used
by operations of $.4 million during the comparable  period in 1997. The increase
in cash provided by operations was due primarily to non-cash charges  associated
with  depreciation  and amortization and the loss on disposal of cattle combined
with cash  provided by  inventories  and an increase in other  accrued  expenses
offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable.

         Cash Used in Investing  Activities.  Cash used in investing  activities
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $6.5  million,  as compared to
$4.0 million for the  comparable  period in 1997. The increase was primarily due
to the  purchase  of  property  and  equipment  at the  Maryland  Dairy  and the
purchases and costs of raising  cattle at the Maryland Dairy and the Idaho Dairy
offset partially by a decrease in payments for acquisitions.

         Cash  Provided by  Financing  Activities.  Cash  provided by  financing
activities  during the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $4.3  million,  as
compared to $8.6 million for the  comparable  period in 1997.  This  decrease is
primarily  due to the Company  receiving  net  proceeds of $4.2  million (net of
treasury stock acquired) from the sale of common stock in 1997.

         The Company  anticipates that it will spend  approximately $1.3 million
in the last two  quarters  of 1998 for fixed asset  additions  at both the Idaho
Dairy and the Maryland Dairy as well as $1.2 million for  replacement  cows. The
Company  believes that the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the
Concurrent  Placement,  together with cash generated  from  operations and funds
available  under a revolving  line of credit,  will be sufficient to satisfy its
cash requirements through fiscal 2000.

         Long-term  Debt.  The Company  has a  revolving  line of credit with an
available  principal amount of up to $10.0 million,  as determined pursuant to a
borrowing  base. The line of credit bears interest at U.S.  Bancorp's  announced
reference  rate plus 1.25% and has a final maturity of June 30, 1999. As of June
30, 1998, the Company had $9.1 million  outstanding  under the revolving line of
credit. On July 8, 1998, with the proceeds from the initial public offering, the
Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the line of credit.

         On April 15, 1998, the Company  entered into a $500,000 note payable to
Peoples Bank of Kent County,  Maryland  bearing interest at 8.25% and payable in
monthly installments with the unpaid balance due April 15, 2018. The note holder
has the right to demand  repayment of principal and interest in full at any time
on or after April 15, 2001. The note is secured by specific property.  A portion
of the  proceeds  were used to repay a $.1 million  note  payable to 44 Exchange
Services.

         In  April  1998 in  connection  with the  Juniper  Valley  Farms  brand
acquisition,  the Company issued a non-interest  bearing secured promissory note
with a principal  amount of $4.0 million and a maturity date of July 8, 1998. In
addition, the Company received a commitment from U.S. Bancorp for a $2.0 million
term loan at prime plus 2% with a  maturity  date of July 31,  1998.  On July 8,
1998,  with the proceeds from the initial  public  offering,  the Company repaid
both the $4.0 million  non-interest bearing secured promissory note and the $2.0
million term loan.

         On July 8, 1998,  with the proceeds from the initial  public  offering,
the Company repaid $3.6 million of outstanding unsecured subordinated promissory
notes and $3.1 million of outstanding senior subordinated promissory notes.

         Year 2000 Compliance.  Certain management  information  systems use two
digit data fields which  recognize dates using the assumption that the first two
digits are "19" (i.e.,  the number 98 is recognized as the year 1998).  Although
the Company has not  conducted  any testing or expended any funds in response to
year 2000  issues,  the  Company  believes  that all of its major  software  and
hardware  systems are year 2000  compliant and will recognize data fields beyond
1999. The Company intends to test its systems for year 2000 compliance and is in
the process of verifying  whether its major suppliers,  service  providers,  and
financial  institutions  are year  2000  compliant.  The  Company  will make any
necessary  investments in its software and hardware  systems and applications to
ensure that they are year 2000 compliant. The Company does not expect the amount
of such investments to be material to the Company's business,  operating results
and financial condition.
