                           Description of Business

General

Farm Fish, Inc. engages in the hatching and growing of catfish (generally 
referred to as "producing" catfish).  The principal executive offices of 
Farm Fish are located at 100 W. Woodrow Wilson Drive, Jackson, Mississippi 
39213, and its telephone number is (601) 354-3801.

                             The Catfish Industry

The catfish farming industry has grown rapidly since its inception in the 
late 1960's.  In 1969, approximately 3.2 million pounds of catfish were sold 
to processing plants at an average price of approximately $0.37 per pound.  
In 1995, the number of pounds sold to catfish processors had increased to 
approximately 447 million pounds, at average prices of approximately $0.78 
per pound to $0.79 per pound during the year.

Catfish farming is conducted primarily in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and 
Mississippi, with Mississippi dominating the industry.

                           Farm Fish's Operations

Farm Fish's primary production assets are brood ponds, a hatchery, fingerling
ponds and production ponds.  The life cycle of a farm-raised catfish begins 
in a brood pond, where the eggs ("spawn") are laid and fertilized.  The spawn
is then retrieved and taken to the hatchery, where it is placed in water-
filled troughs which are continuously monitored to ensure the water is 
aerated and kept at the proper temperature.  The hatchery operates for 
approximately two months each year, usually from mid-May to mid-July.

The newly hatched catfish, called "fry", are kept in the hatchery briefly and
are then transported to a fingerling pond where they remain until they are 
one to two inches in length, at this stage the catfish are referred to as 
"fingerlings".  Some of the fingerlings may be sold to other catfish farmers,
but typically most are kept and used to stock the farm's production ponds.  
The catfish are fed until they reach marketable size (usually one to one-and-
a-half pounds) and harvested with seines.

The catfish are fed a commercially prepared feed consisting of soybeans, 
corn, wheat and fishmeal.  The catfish are fed from approximately mid-March 
through the end of October each year.  Little food is supplied to the catfish 
during the winter months.

Farm Fish conducts its business at its catfish farm in Humphreys County, 
Mississippi.  The farm consists of approximately 1,750 acres of land, of 
which approximately 1,375 acres are devoted to mostly 20 acre ponds.  The 
farm is a complete facility for producing "farm-raised" catfish, with brood 
ponds, a hatchery, fingerling ponds and production ponds.
                            
                           Processing and Marketing

Farm Fish sold its processing operations in March 1986 and no longer engages 
in processing live fish or marketing processed products.

                             Significant Customers

During 1995, approximately 56% of Farm Fish's live fish production was sold 
to one catfish processor Delta Pride Catfish, Inc. ("Delta Pride").  Delta 
Pride is a cooperative.  Farm Fish had the option through June 30, 1993, but 
not the obligation, to purchase 1,100 shares of stock in Delta Pride at a
price of $600 per share.  Pursuant to an agreement entered into in 1993 
between the Company and Delta Pride, the option period was extended through 
January 1, 1995.  During 1994, the Company applied retained patronage 
dividends of $86,400 to the purchase of 144 shares of Delta Pride stock.  
Options on the remaining 956 shares expired unused.  

                                 Competition

There are a substantial number of independent catfish producers in the 
general market area.  Of these, Farm Fish is one of the larger producers of 
live fish.  Competition among catfish farmers who produce live fish for sale 
to catfish processors is based primarily on price.  Production techniques are
becoming more sophisticated as the industry matures, and farmers who take 
advantage of the emerging technology in areas such as the maintenance of 
high water quality may develop a competitive advantage in terms of cost 
efficiency.

                               Farm Fish Personnel

On December 31, 1995, Farm Fish employed approximately 22 employees, all of 
whom were engaged in duties related to its catfish farming operations.

                                Industry Segments

Since the sale of its processing operations in 1986, Farm Fish has operated 
in only one industry segment, ("catfish production").

                             Description of Property

Farm Fish owns nearly 1,750 acres of farmland in Humphreys County, 
Mississippi, near the town of Louise.  Most of this land is devoted to the 
ponds, to the banks and levees, which surround and separate the ponds, and to
various service and storage areas.  Farm Fish, Inc. has long-term borrowing
financed with a bank totaling $670,000 at December 31, 1995, secured by 
substantially all of Farm Fish's assets and the guaranty of Delta Industries, 
Inc. ("Delta Industries").  See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements.
                            
                                 Inventory

Farm Fish owns a substantial inventory of harvestable and growing 
fingerlings, and during the spring of the year owns a substantial inventory 
of spawn and fry.  These catfish are located at the hatchery and in the 
fingerling and production ponds on the catfish farm in Humphreys County, 
Mississippi.  The book value of the live fish inventory as of December 31, 
1995 was $3,694,843.

                                 Brood Fish

Farm Fish also owns "brood" fish which are located in the brood fish ponds on 
the catfish farm in Humphreys County, Mississippi.  The book value of the 
brood fish as of December 31, 1995 was $44,987.

                              Legal Proceedings

As of March 15, 1996, there were no material legal proceedings pending or 
threatened against Farm Fish, Inc. 
 
             Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

                  Market for Registrant's Common Stock and
                      Related Stockholder Matters

The authorized capital stock of Farm Fish consists of 5,000,000 shares of 
common stock.  The 2,688,605 issued and outstanding shares of Farm Fish's 
stock are held of record by approximately 1,866 stockholders.  Although Farm 
Fish common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
there is no readily ascertainable market value for the stock, since the stock 
is not traded on any exchange, is traded infrequently over the counter, and 
is not quoted in any newspaper.  The stock is listed in the "pink sheets" 
under the symbol "FFIH".  Farm Fish has been advised by broker sources who 
have heretofore traded in the stock of Farm Fish that there is insufficient 
basis for establishing a market value.

Holders of Farm Fish common stock have one vote for each share held and are 
entitled to accumulate their votes for the election of directors.  Shares of 
common stock are not subject to redemption and the holders of such shares do 
not have preemptive rights.  Holders of shares of common stock are entitled 
to share ratably in the assets of Farm Fish legally available for 
distribution to holders of common stock in the event of the liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up of Farm Fish.  The holders of common stock are 
equally entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of 
Directors.

                                 Dividends

No cash dividend has been paid to Farm Fish since May 1, 1982.  Any payment 
of dividends in the future will depend upon Farm Fish's growth, 
profitability, available cash, financial condition and other factors that the 
Board of Directors deems relevant.


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


               Comparison of 1995 to 1994 Results of Operations

Net sales increased by $380,618 or 11% over 1994.  The increase resulted from 
a 3.7% increase in the average selling price of catfish, and a 298,880 or 7% 
increase in pounds of catfish sold.  

Cost of product sold increased $499,807 or 22% as the result of an increase 
in the average cost per pound of product sold from $.55 in 1994 to $.61 in 
1995, and the 298,880 increase in pounds of catfish sold.  The increase in 
the average cost per pound sold is due to increased fingerling sales as a
percentage of total sales in 1995 which are at a higher cost per pound and 
due to an increase in mortality in 1995.  

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $13,653 or 10% from 
1994.  The decrease was principally due to a decrease in certain professional 
fees.

Interest expense decreased $40,880 or 35.7% due to a decrease in average 
borrowings. 

The effective income tax rate was 36.7% in 1995 compared to 37.7% in 1994.  

As the result of the above, net income decreased by $79,309 to $483,124 in 
1995.  
                            
                       Seasonality of Operating Results

In prior years, the revenues of Farm Fish have been seasonal and cyclical.  
Prices for live fish have tended to rise during the first part of the year 
and drift downward during the summer, only to rise again in September and 
October and fall in November and December before beginning the annual price 
cycle again.  However, in 1994 prices continued to rise during the year, and 
in 1995 prices were consistent throughout the year.

                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

In June 1993, Farm Fish refinanced its outstanding debt with long-term 
borrowings and a line of credit from a bank.  The principal balance with 
respect to the long-term debt was $670,000 at December 31, 1995.  The Company 
had $600,000 available under the line of credit at December 31, 1995 .  The 
long-term borrowings and borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at 
prime plus 1.5% and prime plus 1%, respectively, and are collateralized by 
substantially all the assets of Farm Fish and the guaranty of Delta
Industries, Inc. ("Delta Industries").  

Notwithstanding Farm Fish's improved financial position, additional 
borrowings may be necessary to meet cash flow needs during the 1996 feeding 
season.  Although there is no binding commitment from Delta Industries, Farm 
Fish expects Delta Industries to continue its prior policy with respect to 
assisting Farm Fish in financing its operations, in light of Delta 
Industries' ownership of eighty percent (80%) of Farm Fish stock.  Delta 
Industries also has represented that it plans to seek repayment of the 
$2,115,389 owed to it by Farm Fish as of December 31, 1995 only as cash 
becomes available from operations.

During 1995, Farm Fish used net cash provided by operating activities of 
$853,373 and available cash principally to purchase $149,592 of property, 
buildings and equipment, to reduce borrowings under the line of credit and 
long-term borrowing by $350,729, and to reduce the payable to shareholder by
$434,916.

At year-end 1994, Farm Fish's ratio of current assets to current liabilities 
was 1.30 to 1 and its ratio of stockholders' equity to total liabilities was 
 .78 to 1.  At year-end 1995, Farm Fish's ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities was 1.69 to 1 and its ratio of stockholders' equity to total 
liabilities was 1.15 to 1.

                                   Inflation

Farm Fish's operations are sensitive to changes in the cost of feed and the 
market price of live fish. As with other agricultural enterprises, these 
prices are responsive to the wide range of conditions generally affecting 
crop prices and food prices, and are not within Farm Fish's control.

                       Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Farm Fish, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Farm Fish, 
Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for 
the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Farm Fish, Inc. 
and subsidiary at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of 
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATMENTS
                            
                             DECEMBER 31, 1995


1.  Accounting Policies

Business

Farm Fish, Inc. ("the Company") is engaged in catfish farming on 
approximately 1,375  water acres within the State of Mississippi.  Catfish 
farming is conducted in a few southern states, principally Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas.  The Company's sales are to a limited number 
of processors.   In 1995, three processors represented 56%, 22%, and 13% of 
the Company's net sales.  In 1994, three processors represented 40%, 24% and 
16% of the Company's net sales.  Delta Pride Catfish, Inc. ("Delta Pride") is
the Company's most significant customer.  The Company's significant customers 
are located within the state of Mississippi.  Processed catfish are sold 
principally to retail grocery stores, food brokers and restaurants. 


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, DAT, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts 
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market.  Live fish 
inventories generally require a growing period of one to one and one-half 
years from the time the fingerlings are hatched until they reach a weight 
that fish are typically harvested.  Because the Company's production cycle 
for fish generally exceeds one year, management anticipates certain live fish 
inventories on hand at December 31, 1995 may not be sold in 1996.  Live fish 
inventories are classified as a current asset in the accompanying balance 
sheets which is consistent with the industry practice.

The quantities of live fish inventories are determined based upon estimated 
growth from feed fed to each pond and are reduced for the actual quantities 
sold and estimated mortality.  Each pond is closed periodically and the 
estimated pounds are adjusted to the actual harvest.  Live catfish are highly 
susceptible to disease, oxygen depletion and extreme temperatures which could 
result in high mortality.  Management continually monitors each pond and 
takes appropriate actions to minimize the risk of loss from mortality. 
Given the nature of the live fish inventories, it is reasonably possible that 
the Company's actual live fish mortality will vary significantly from 
estimates.  The Company changed its estimate of fish grow-out in 1995 
resulting in a $269,000 increase in cost of products sold and a $170,000 
decrease in net income or $.06 per share during the year ended December 31, 
1995.

Property, Buildings and Equipment

Property, buildings, and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is 
provided by the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method in accordance with 
FASB No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  

Net Income Per Share

Net income per share is based on the average number of shares of common stock 
outstanding during each year.  There are no common stock equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the  
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets the Be Disposed Of,
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in 
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted 
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the 
assets' carrying amount.  Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for 
long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.   The Company will 
adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on current 
circumstances, does not believe the effect of adoption will be material.

2.  Shareholders' Equity and Related Party Transactions

In September 1984, the Company issued in a private offering 1,903,104 shares 
of common stock to Delta Industries, Inc. ("Delta") at $1.25 per share.  In 
consideration for the stock issued, Delta canceled $2,378,880 of notes and 
other amounts receivable from the Company.  As a result of this transaction, 
the Company became an 80% owned subsidiary of Delta.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had non-interest bearing advances 
payable to Delta totaling $2,115,389 and $2,550,305, respectively.  Delta has 
not charged the Company any allocation of Delta's corporate expenses.

3.  Investment in Cooperatives

Delta Pride is a cooperative in which the Company had an option to purchase 
1,100 shares of stock at a price of $600 per share through June 1993.  
Pursuant to an agreement entered into in 1993 between the Company and Delta 
Pride, the option period was extended through January 1, 1995.  During 1994, 
the Company applied retained patronage dividends of $86,400 to the purchases 
of 144 shares of Delta Pride stock.  Options on the remaining 956 shares 
expired unused.  The Company owned 1,424 shares of Delta Pride stock at 
December 31, 1995 and 1994.  

In 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded $188,009 and $139,051, respectively, 
of operating losses from Delta Pride which are included in other cost and 
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. 

4.  Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of a note payable to a bank, due in annual 
installments of $100,000 plus quarterly payments of interest at prime plus 
1.5% (8.42% at December 31, 1995), maturing in 1999.

Maturities of long-term debt are as follows:


   1996                                     $100,000
   1997                                      100,000
   1998                                      100,000
   1999                                      370,000
 
                                            $670,000


Note payable at December 31, 1994 consisted of borrowings under a line of 
credit with interest of prime plus 1% (9.5% at December 31, 1994).  The 
Company had $600,000 available to borrow under the line at December 31, 1995.

Substantially all property, buildings and equipment, inventories and 
investments in cooperatives is pledged as collateral to the note payable and 
long-term debt.  

Interest paid by the Company totaled $74,167 and $103,518 in 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.  

5.  Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiary are included in Delta's consolidated federal 
and state income tax returns.  The Company's income tax expense for financial 
reporting purposes is determined on a separate company basis.  The Company's 
income taxes paid to Delta totaled $607,668 in 1995.  There were no payments 
in 1994.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  The 
components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:


                                                           December 31
                                                     1995               1994

   Deferred tax liabilities   Property, 
    buildings and equipment                         $  129,000     $  119,000
   Deferred tax assets   Other                          (6,000)        (5,000)
   Net deferred tax liabilities                     $  123,000     $  114,000


Income tax expense consists of the following:

                                                     Year ended December 31
