Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Continued high green coffee prices continue to effect Registrant's
operations.  Although green coffee costs have retreated from the highs
experienced in fiscal 1995, the higher average product costs and resulting
higher sales prices (and lower sales volume) are directly reflected in
financial results.  Improved profit margins and controlled operating expenses
have had a direct effect on profits.  First quarter 1996 sales increased 1.6%
to $55,038,000 as compared to $54,182,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 1995.
Gross profit in the first quarter increased 6.2% to $27,527,000 from
$25,908,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 1995.  First quarter 1996 operating
expenses decreased (1.3%) to $21,114,000 from $21,394,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net income for the three months ended September 30,
1995 increased 27.5% to $4,791,000 or $2.49 per share, as compared to
$3,757,000 or $1.95 per share in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
