      As  of  June  30, 1995, the Company had a $40 million  working
capital line of credit payable in January, 1997.  Accordingly,  the
balance at June 30, 1995 was classified as long-term.  This facility
is  collateralized  by most of the Company's  current  assets.   The
outstanding  balance at June 30, 1995 was approximately  $17,671,000
leaving $18,283,000 additional funds available under a borrowing base
calculation.  The interest rate is variable based upon the financial
institution's cost of funds plus a margin.

      Additionally, as of June 30, 1995 the Company had a $6,000,000
short-term  capital  revolving credit facility  to  provide  interim
financing  for capital projects. As of June 30, 1995  there  was  no
outstanding balance.

      At  June  30,  1995, the Company's outstanding long-term  debt
(including  the $17,671,000 balance on the working capital  line  of
credit) was approximately $34,413,000 of which  $2,089,000 matures
in the next 12 months and the remainder matures at  various
times over the subsequent thirteen years.

      Interest  paid, net of amounts capitalized, was  approximately
$1,353,000  and $1,096,000 for the nine months ended June  30,  1995
and  1994,  respectively.   Interest capitalized  was  approximately
$427,000  and $373,000 for the nine months ended June 30,  1995  and
1994 respectively.

      Certain mortgage agreements contain loan covenants.   At  June
30, 1995, the Company was in compliance with these loan covenants.

   Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting  for Income  Taxes"
("FAS No. 109") requires the use of the  asset and liability
method of accounting for income  taxes. Under the  asset and
liability method of FAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities  are  recognized  for  the   future tax consequences
attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.  Under FAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax
assets  and  liabilities of a change in tax rates is  recognized  in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    During the second quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company decided to
sell  the Petroleum Division comprised of Frank Carroll Oil Company.
The sale of all of the capital stock of that subsidiary  was
completed effective September 30, 1994.  The Consolidated Statements
of  Operations for the nine and three month periods ended  June  30,
1994  exclude  all  components of profit or loss  of  the  Petroleum
Division from continuing operations.  The effect of these items  has

7. OTHER INCOME

    During  the third quarter of fiscal 1995 the Company was awarded
insurance proceeds of approximately $453,000 in excess of  the  book
value to replace certain equipment destroyed by a fire in the Bartow
processing  facility.  This event did not materially affect the
operations of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                SALES
                  
    Sales  for the nine and three month periods ended June 30,  1995
increased  approximately  $29,675,000  or  51.9%  and  approximately
$3,564,000  or 15.4%, respectively compared to the same  periods  in
the  prior  year.  The Beverage Division accounted for the principal
increase  for  the  nine  month  period  with  increased  sales   of
approximately   $29,371,000.   Grove   Management   Division   sales
increased  approximately $304,000 for the nine  month  period.   The
Beverage Division also accounted for the principal increase for  the
current   three  month  period  with  an  increase   in   sales   of
approximately  $3,682,000.  This increase during the current three 
months was partially offset by a decrease in Grove Management Division
sales of approximately $118,000.

                              
                                  -10-


BEVERAGE DIVISION    The   Beverage   Division   sales   increased
approximately $29,371,000 or 54.9% and $3,682,000 or  17.0%  in  the
current nine and three month respective periods compared to the same
periods  in  the prior year.  Of the increases for the current  nine
month  period, revenues from the sale of the Company's  bulk  citrus
juice   products   accounted  for  an  increase   of   approximately
$18,706,000.   During the current three month period  revenues  from
these  same  bulk  citrus products decreased  approximately  $43,000
compared  to the same period in the prior year.  As a part of  these
changes,  revenues  from  the volume of bulk  citrus  products  sold
increased approximately $20,813,000 and $291,000 during the  current
nine  and three month respective periods.  These increases in  sales
volumes were due primarily to an improved sales program for the bulk
citrus juice products and a higher level of carryover inventory from
the prior year.  The increases in volume during the current nine and
three  month periods were partially offset by decreased  prices  for
bulk  citrus juice products of approximately $2,107,000 and $334,000
respectively  compared to the same periods in  the  prior  year.  In
October  1994  the United States Department of Agriculture  ("USDA")
announced a Florida crop estimate of approximately 196,000,000 boxes
of round oranges for the 1994-95 season which would be significantly
larger  than the 1993-94 crop of 174,200,000 boxes of round oranges.
This estimate by the USDA was revised in July 1995  to approximately
205,400,000 boxes of round oranges which will be the second largest
Florida crop in history.

    Sales  of  the  Company's packaged citrus juices increased
approximately  $897,000 and $537,000 during  the  current  nine  and
three month respective periods  compared to the same periods in  the
prior  year.   Of  these increases, higher volumes sold resulted in
increases in revenues of approximately $769,000 and $341,000 during
the  current nine and three month periods.  Additionally, sales
increased due to increased prices of approximately  $128,000 and 
$196,000 during the  current  respective periods.

    The  Company's non-orange packaged juices and drink  base  sales
increased approximately $2,410,000 and $1,384,000 during the current
nine  and  three month periods compared to the same periods  in  the
prior  year.  Of these increases the volume of sales of  these 
products increased approximately $1,563,000 and $1,336,000 during the
current nine  and three  month  periods principally as a result of an
improved  sales program  for the Company's drink base products.
Additionally,  sales of  these  products  increased as a result of  
increased  prices  of approximately $847,000 and $48,000 during the
current nine and three month respective periods.

    Revenues  from the sale of the Company's by-products,  including
feed, pulp cells, and citrus oils increased approximately $4,489,000
during the current nine month period compared to the same period  in
the prior year.  These increases in revenues were due in part to  an
increase  in  the volume of by-products being produced and  sold  of
approximately  $1,812,000.   Revenues also  increased  approximately
$2,677,000  during  the current nine period as a  result  of  higher
prices compared to the same period in the prior year.   Revenues  
from the sale of these by-products increased approximately 
$1,030,000  during the  current  three  month  period compared  to
the same period in the prior year as a result of increased prices.

     Storage,  handling,  processing  citrus  for  customers   under
contract, and other revenues increased approximately $2,869,000  and
$774,000 during the current nine and three month periods compared to
the  same  periods  in  the prior year.  These  increases  were  due 
primarily  to an increase in the volume of these services


                            -11-


performed during the current nine and three month periods compared 
to the same periods in the prior year.

GROVE   MANAGEMENT  DIVISION   Grove  Management   sales   increased
approximately $304,000 or 8.3% for the current nine month period and
decreased  by  approximately $118,000 or 7.8% for the current  three
month period compared to the same respective periods in the prior year.
The principal  increase  during  the  current  nine  month  period of
approximately  $509,000  was due to  an increase in the number of boxes
harvested.  There  was also  an  increase in harvesting revenues during 
the  current  three month  period of approximately $202,000 due primarily
to an increase in  the  volume of boxes harvested.  Revenues from grove  
caretaking activities  increased approximately $207,000 and $92,000
during  the current  nine and three month periods compared to the same 
periods in the prior year.  Revenues from  the sale  of fruit to third
party packers and processors decreased by approximately  $412,000 
during the current  nine  and  three  month periods compared to the same
periods in the prior year.

                            GROSS PROFIT

    Gross profit for the nine and three month periods ended June 30,
1995  increased approximately $7,041,000 or 89.6% and $3,934,000  or
188.8%,  respectively, compared to the same  periods  in  the  prior
year.   The  principal  increases of  approximately  $7,100,000  and
$4,082,000  during  the  current nine  and  three  month  respective
periods  occurred in the Beverage Division.  Gross  profit  for  the
Grove  Management  Division decreased during the  current  nine  and
three   month   periods  by  approximately  $59,000  and   $148,000,
respectively.

BEVERAGE  DIVISION  Gross profit of the Beverage Division  increased
approximately  $7,100,000 and $4,082,000 for the  current  nine  and
three  month periods compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Contributing to the increases in gross profit were increases  during
the current nine and three month respective periods of approximately
$2,384,000  and  $1,124,000  from the  sale  of  bulk  citrus  juice
products.   Of  the  increase during the current nine  month  period
approximately $2,095,000 was a result of an increase in  the  volume
of  bulk  citrus products sold compared to the same  period  in  the
prior  year.  This increase in sales volume is a combined result  of
an  improved  bulk sales program and the higher level  of  carryover
inventory previously mentioned. Additionally, gross profit increased
approximately $2,396,000 and $1,458,000 during the current nine  and
three  month  respective periods as a result of lower costs  of  raw
fruit  and  concentrate used in the production of bulk citrus  juice
products  compared to the same periods in the prior year.  Partially
offsetting  this  increase  were  decreases  in  gross   profit   of
approximately  $2,107,000  and  $334,000  resulting  from  decreased
prices  for bulk citrus juice products during the current  nine  and
three month periods compared to the same period in the prior year.

    The  Company  has  in the past utilized and may  in  the  future
utilize   the   FCOJ  futures  market  to  hedge  fruit   inventory,
anticipated requirements and sales commitments of FCOJ.  The effects
of  this hedging activity, if any, are reflected in sales and in the
cost  of  inventories  and  flow  through  cost  of  sales  in   the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as the associated products are
sold.   As  of  June  30, 1995 the Company held contracts  for  FCOJ
futures  with  unrealized  gains of approximately  $1,464,000  which
would  have  been  realized if said positions had  been  prematurely
liquidated on that date.  These unrealized gains are based upon
the closing  market price of equivalent futures obligations and  do 
not necessarily  represent prices at which the Company expects  to
sell the FCOJ.

                            -12-


    Gross  profit  from the sale of packaged citrus  juice  products
remained approximately at the same levels during the current nine 
month  period compared  to  the  same period in the prior year.
However, gross profit from the same products  increased approximately
$571,000 during the current  three month period compared to the same
period in the prior year.  Of  the increases  during  the  current 
three  month  period,  approximately $196,000 resulted from increased
prices.  Additionally, gross profit increased  approximately  $375,000
during the  current  three  month period as a result of lower costs of
raw fruit and concentrate  used in  the  production of these products.

    Gross  profit from the sale of the Company's non-orange packaged
juices and drink base products decreased approximately $120,000  and
increased  approximately $31,000 during the current nine  and  three
month  respective periods compared to the same periods in the  prior
year.   The  decrease  for  the  current  nine  month  period   was
principally  due  to higher raw material costs of production for these
products.  The  increase for the current three month period was 
principally due to higher prices compared to the same period in the
prior year.

   Gross profit from by-products increased approximately $2,377,000
and  $435,000 during the current nine  and three  month respective  
periods compared to the same periods in the prior  year.  These  
increases were principally the result of higher market prices for  
these  products  partially offset by  increased costs  in  the 
current nine and three month periods compared to the same periods 
in the  prior  year.  Gross profit from storage,  handling,  and  
other activities also increased by approximately $2,959,000 and 
$2,412,000 during  the current nine and three month periods due to
an  increase in  the  volume of these activities compared to the same
periods  in the prior year.

   At the end of the third quarter the Company had a for a write-
down of approximately $491,000 to certain bulk inventories relative
to  the  anticipated  market prices  for these products as of June
30, 1995.  The Florida  citrus industry is highly cyclical with
market prices for processed  citrus juices  subject  to  wide
fluctuations. 

GROVE  MANAGEMENT DIVISION  Grove Management gross  profit  for  the
nine  and  three month periods decreased approximately  $59,000  and
$148,000  compared to the same periods in the prior year.  Decreases
of  approximately  $127,000 and $192,000 for the  current  nine  and
three  month periods were primarily a result of reduction in  volume
of  fruit sold to third party packers and processors.  Gross  profit
from grove caretaking for the nine and three month periods increased
approximately  $53,000 and $35,000 compared to the same  periods  in
the  prior year.  The decrease was further offset by an increase  in
gross profit from harvesting activities of approximately $15,000 and
$9,000  during the current nine and three month periods  principally
due to increased volumes.

            SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
$262,000  or 9% and decreased approximately $30,000 or  3%  for  the
current nine and three month respective periods compared to the same 
periods  in the prior year. The increase in the current nine  month
period was primarily caused by increased staffing.  The decrease  in
the  current three month period was due to decreased other costs and
was  partially  offset by increased staffing compared  to  the  same
period in the prior year.
                                  

                              -13-


        GAIN/(LOSS) ON DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   The increased gains on the disposition of property, equipment and
other  of  approximately  $108,000 for the  nine  month  period  and
approximately  $45,000 for the three month period  ending  June  30,
1995  compared to the same periods in the prior year was principally
due  to  differences in gains on sales of commercial properties  not
utilized in citrus production or processing.

                          INTEREST EXPENSE

    Interest  expense increased approximately $207,000  or  19%  and
decreased approximately $79,000 or 16% in the current nine and three
month  periods  respectively, compared to the same  periods  in  the
prior  year.  During the nine month period, increased interest rates
and  outstanding debt resulted in increases in interest  expense  of
$199,000  and  $174,000, respectively.  Partially offsetting these
increases  for  the  current nine month  period  were  increases  in
capitalized  interest  of  approximately $54,000  and  decreases  in
amortization  of  deferred loans costs and  other  interest  related
charges in the amount of approximately $112,000.  During the current
three  month period, increases in capitalized interest and decreases
in  amortization  of deferred loan costs and other related  interest
charges resulted in decreases of approximately $113,000 and $41,000,
respectively.  Partially offsetting these decreases in  the  current
three  month  period  were  increases of approximately  $39,000  and
$36,000  as  a  result  of  increases in  interest  rates  and  debt
outstanding.

                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The  Company's  Bartow processing plant normally  operates  from
early  November  through late May or June.  While the  plant  is  in
operation,  the inventory of processed juice increases  to  a  level
which will cover anticipated sales until the following November when
the  plant  begins operation again.  The Company's  working  capital
credit  facility is generally utilized to finance these inventories.
Borrowings under this credit facility normally peak in late  May  or
June.   The  Company  began processing activities  for  the  1994-95
season in late October and completed these activities in May 1995.

    The  Company's  ability to generate cash adequate  to  meet  its
needs,  including  the  financing  of  its  inventories  and   trade
receivables,  has  been  supported  primarily  by  cash  flow   from
operations  and  periodic borrowings under its primary  $40  million
credit  facility.  This facility is secured principally by  most  of
the  Company's current assets.  The outstanding balance at June  30,
1995 was approximately $17,671,000 and approximately $18,283,000  of
additional  borrowings  were available.   The interest  rate  is  
variable based upon the financial  institution's cost  of  funds plus
a margin.  The terms of the agreement call  for repayment  of the 
principal amount in January 1997; accordingly,  it is  classified  as
long-term.   The Company  anticipates  that  the working  capital  
facility  will be adequately  serviced  with  cash proceeds from 
operations.  Management believes this facility will provide sufficient
working capital over the next two years.

    Additionally, as of June 30, 1995, the Company had a  $6  million
short-term  capital  revolving credit line  to  provide  interim
financing  for capital projects.  As of June 30, 1995, there  was  no
outstanding  balance  on this facility.

    Current assets decreased approximately $4,431,000 as of June 30,
1995  compared  to September 30, 1994.  The principal  component  of
this  was  a decrease in inventories of approximately $2,942,000  in
the  first  nine  months of the current 

                             -14-

year due to  the  previously mentioned  increases  in  sales and 
reduced  costs.   The  Company's accounts  receivable  balance  
decreased  approximately  $961,000 compared to the fiscal year end.
Additionally, there was a decrease in  cash  and short-term cash 
investments of approximately $155,000. Advances on fruit purchases
decreased approximately $475,000 as  the Company processed the 
purchased fruit and collected these advances.

    Current  liabilities decreased during the first  nine  months  of
fiscal 1995 approximately $2,866,000 compared to September 30, 1994.
The  principal  reason  for this decrease was  due  to  payments  of
$4,000,000 on the previously mentioned short-term capital  revolving
credit facility.  Offsetting this decrease was an increase in income
taxes payable of approximately $1,206,000.

    Long-term  debt  decreased approximately $6,175,000  during  the
current  nine month period.  This was principally the  result  of  a
decrease  of  approximately $3,306,000 on  the  Company's  long-term
working   capital   facility.   There  was  also  a decrease of
approximately   $2,869,000  resulting  primarily from  scheduled
principal payments  made on long-term debt.

    At  June  30, 1995 the Company's outstanding long-term debt  was
approximately $32,324,000 including the working capital facility  of
approximately $17,671,000.  In addition current installments of long-
term  debt were approximately $2,089,000 with the remaining  amounts
due  on  various  dates  over the subsequent  thirteen  years.   The
Company  anticipates that amounts due over the  next  twelve  months
will  be  paid out of working capital.  At June 30, 1995 the Company
was in compliance with its loan covenants.

    During the first nine months of the fiscal year the Company made 
improvements to and replaced equipment at its Bartow processing facility
and groves totaling approximately $5,923,000.  The Company anticipates
that these improvements will be financed principally from working
capital or by securing additional funds under existing mortgages.
                                  
                      OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

    In  October  1994 the USDA announced a Florida crop estimate  of
approximately  196,000,000 boxes of round oranges  for  the  1994-95
season  which  would be significantly larger than the 1993-94  round
orange  crop of approximately 174,200,000 boxes.  This estimate by the
USDA  was  revised  in  July 1995 to approximately  205,400,000 boxes
which will be the second largest Florida crop in history.
