                            PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The 50,000 shares of the Common Stock being offered by this
Prospectus are being offered by certain shareholders of the Company
named under "Selling Shareholders" (the "Selling Shareholders").
Such shares were issued to the Selling Shareholders by the Company
in connection with the acquisition of a portion of the outstanding
shares of common stock of CONABA, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico) ("CONABA")
on August 11, 1994.

     As a result of the acquisition, the Company increased its
holdings of the outstanding common stock of CONABA from 51% to 93%
of the outstanding shares.  The remaining 7% of the outstanding
shares of CONABA stock are held by past and present employees of
CONABA.  The Company intends to acquire such shares directly from
these individuals for cash on or before December 31, 1994 at which
time the Company will own 100% of the outstanding shares of CONABA.

     The shares offered by the Selling Shareholders (including his
or her donees, distributees, pledgees, and personal
representatives) may be sold from time to time (a) in transactions
in the over-the-counter market;  (b) in option transactions;  (c)
in negotiated transactions; or (d) through other means.  The
Selling Shareholders may also sell some or all of the shares in
transactions involving broker-dealers who may acquire shares as
principal.  Sales will be in the quantities, at the time, and
through registered broker-dealers to be determined from time to
time by the Selling Shareholders.  No arrangements for any broker-
dealer to act on behalf of the Selling Shareholders have been made. 
It is anticipated that any selling broker-dealers engaged by the
Selling Shareholders will receive only their customary brokerage
commissions.  Participating broker-dealers may be deemed
underwriters of the shares within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, in which event all such compensation to be
received by them may be deemed underwriting compensation.

     Sales of the shares offered by the Selling Shareholders will
be made at gross prices per share approximating market prices
prevailing at the time of the sales.  The Company will not receive
any of the proceeds of the sales.  Any brokerage commissions due to
any broker engaged by the Selling Shareholders, and any expenses
incurred by the Selling Shareholders in connection with the
offering made hereby, will be borne by the Selling Shareholders. 
The Company is bearing the legal and accounting expense incurred in
the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part and the filing fee thereunder.
