Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial           
Condition and Results of Operations


Sales increased by $87,000 (.3%) to $28,505,000 in the first quarter
of the 1995 fiscal year compared to the same quarter last year.  Sales in
the first quarter increased $137,000 (.5%) compared to the previous
fiscal quarter.  The sales increases relate to higher unit sales volume
and changes in product mix.

Cost of products sold decreased by $325,000 (1.7%) in the first quarter of
the 1995 fiscal year to $18,402,000 compared to the first quarter of 1994,
due primarily to lower ingredient costs.  Compared to the prior
fiscal quarter, cost of products sold increased $512,000 (2.9%)
as a result of higher unit sales volume and changes in product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $197,000 (2.7%)
to $7,392,000 in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same quarter
last year.  The increase primarily relates to increased labor costs.
Compared to the prior fiscal quarter, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by $302,000 (4.3%).  Selling, general & administrative
expenses increased due to higher sales volume and increased labor costs
in the first quarter of 1995.

Depreciation expense increased by $31,000 (6.3%) in the first quarter of
the 1995 fiscal year compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Depreciation
expense was $123,000 (30.9%) higher than the prior fiscal quarter. 
Depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 1994 was reduced by
approximately $92,000 to adjust estimated expenses for the fiscal
year to actual.

The effective income tax rate was 38.0% in the first quarter of 1995
and 1994 fiscal years and in the prior quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1,979,000 (15.6%) to $14,627,000
during the first quarter of the 1995 fiscal year.  The principal items
affecting the $3,324,000 net cash provided by operating activities were
net income of $1,357,000 and accounts receivable and inventory 
reductions of $2,011,000 and $1,597,000, respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial           
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
  

Cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 1995 consisted
of $593,000 in additions to property, plant and equipment.  This amount
reflects the Company's continued investment in manufacturing facilities
and transportation equipment.  Significant capital expenditures are planned
by the Company related to projects that extend into fiscal year 1995 
and beyond.  These expenditures include the construction of a food
processing facility in North Carolina and extensive additions to existing 
facilities located in Texas.  Capital expenditures in the $9 to $10
million range are anticipated.

Cash used for financing activities consists of cash dividends in the
amount of $752,000 in the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $282,000
(60.0%) over the comparable period last year.  The increase relates to a
three-cent per share extra cash dividend paid together with a regular
five-cent per share cash dividend in the first quarter of 1995 compared
to a regular quarterly cash dividend of five-cents per share
paid in the first quarter of 1994.

The Company remained free of interest bearing debt during the first
quarter of 1995.  The Company's revolving line of credit with Bank of
 America expires April 30, 1996 and provides for borrowings up to
$2,000,000.  The Company has not borrowed under the line for more
than eight years. 

The impact of inflation on the Company's financial position and results of
operations has not been significant.  Management is of the opinion that
the Company's strong financial position and its capital resources are
sufficient to provide for its operating needs and capital expenditures.
