    In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for 
Income Taxes" (FAS No. 109).  FAS No. 109 required a change from the 
deferred method of accounting for income taxes of APB Opinion 11 to 
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 1993, the Company decided to sell the 
Petroleum Division comprised of Frank Carroll Oil Company.  The Consolidated 
Statement of Operations for the three month period ended December 31, 1993 
presented exclude all components of profit or loss of the Petroleum Division 
from continuing operations.   The effect of these items has been reclassified 
net of the applicable tax effect as "Discontinued Operations:  Loss from 
operations of discontinued Petroleum  Division".   See Note 4 for disclosure 
of selected components of the Petroleum Division.  The sale of all the 
capital stock of Frank Carroll Oil Company was completed effective September
30, 1994.

Management Division sales increased approximately $512,000 for the current
period compared to the same period in the prior year.

BEVERAGE DIVISION  The Beverage Division sales increased approximately
$14,349,000 or 97.0% during the current three month period compared to the same
period in the prior year.  Revenues from the sale of the Company's bulk citrus
juice products increased approximately $12,138,000 as a result of offsetting
increases and decreases.  As a part of this increase revenues from the volume
of bulk citrus products sold increased approximately $14,737,000 during the
current period compared to the same period in the prior year.  This 
increase in sales volume was due primarily to an improved sales program 
for the bulk citrus juice products and a higher level of carryover
inventory from the prior year.

                                     -9-


This increase in volume was partially offset by decreased prices for 
bulk citrus juice products of approximately $2,599,000 during the current
period compared to the same period 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.  In February 1995 the USDA revised its 
estimate for the 1994-95 Florida crop of round oranges to approximately 
203,000,000 boxes which, if true, will be historically the second largest
Florida crop.

   Sales of the Company's packaged citrus juices sold remained relatively 
stable during the current  period increasing approximately $11,000 
compared to the same period in the prior year.

    The Company's non-orange packaged juices and drink base sales increased
approximately $366,000 during the current period compared to the same 
period in the prior year.  The volume of sales of these non-orange packaged 
juices and drink base products increased approximately $416,000 principally
as a result of increased sales of the Company's new line of drink base
products acquired with the purchase of International Fruit, Inc.  This 
increase in volume was partially offset by price decreases of approximately 
$50,000 on these products during the current period compared to the same
period in the prior year.

    Revenues from the sale of the Company's by-products, including feed, pulp
cells, and citrus oils, increased approximately $784,000 as a result of a 
higher volume of by-products being produced and sold during the current 
period compared to the same period in the prior year.   This increase 
in production during the current period is primarily a result of an earlier 
start of the processing season during the current year compared the prior
year.

    Storage, handling, processing citrus for customers under contract, and 
other revenues increased approximately $1,050,000 during the current 
period compared to the same period in the prior year.  This increase 
was also due primarily to an increase in the volume of these services 
performed during the current three month period compared to the same period 
in the prior year resulting from the earlier start of the processing season 
as previously mentioned.

GROVE MANAGEMENT DIVISION  Grove Management Division sales increased
approximately $512,000 or 56.0% in the current three month period compared to
the same period in the prior year.  The principal increase of approximately
$373,000 in harvesting revenues resulted from an increase in the number of 
boxes of fruit harvested.  This increase in boxes harvested is primarily due 
to an earlier start of the harvesting season as previously mentioned.  
Additionally, revenues from the sale of fruit to third party packers and 
processors and grove caretaking activities increased approximately $139,000 
during the current period compared to the same period in the prior year.

                                  GROSS PROFIT

    Gross profit for the three month period ended December 31, 1994 decreased
approximately $1,135,000 or 31.1% compared to the same period in the prior 
year.  The principal decrease of approximately $1,217,000 occurred in the 
Beverage Division. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in 
Grove Management Division gross profit of approximately $82,000 during the 
current period compared to the same period in the prior year.

BEVERAGE DIVISION  The gross profit of the Company's Beverage Division 
decreased approximately $1,217,000 during the current period compared to 
the same period in the prior year.  The principal component was a decrease
of approximately $1,604,000 which resulted from the sale of bulk citrus
juice products during the


                                   -10-

current period compared to the same period in the prior year.  Of this 
amount, price decreases, which resulted from the previously mentioned 
significantly larger crop announced by the USDA for the current season, 
accounted for a decrease in gross profit of approximately $2,599,000.

    Gross profit also decreased approximately $2,754,000 principally as a 
result of higher cost of raw fruit and concentrate used in the production of 
bulk citrus juice products during the current period compared to the same 
period in the prior year.  Partially offsetting these decreases were 
increases in gross profit of approximately $3,749,000 resulting from an
increase in the volume of bulk citrus products sold during the current period
compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the improved 
bulk sales program and the higher level of carryover inventory previously
mentioned.

    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 the cost of inventories and flow through cost of sales in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as the associated products are sold.
As of December 31, 1994 the Company held contracts for FCOJ futures with 
unrealized gains of approximately $826,000 which would have been realized if 
said positions had 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.

    Gross profit on the sale of packaged citrus juice products sold
primarily to the food service industry decreased approximately $508,000 
during the current period compared to the same period in the prior year.  Of 
this decrease, approximately $314,000 was a result of a higher cost of 
inventory in the current period compared to the same period in the prior
year.  Additionally, reduced volumes in the current period decreased gross
profit by approximately $194,000 compared to the same period in the prior
year.

    Gross profit from the sale of the Company's non-orange packaged juices 
and drink base products decreased approximately $41,000 during the current 
period compared to the same period in the prior year.  This decrease was 
principally a result of higher costs of production of approximately $457,000
partially offset by an increase in the volume sold of these products of 
approximately $416,000.

    By-products, including feed, pulp cells, and citrus oils,  provided an
increase in gross profit of approximately $549,000 as a result of increased
volumes produced and sold during the current period compared to the same
period in the prior year.  This increase in production was due primarily 
to the earlier start of the processing season as previously  mentioned.  
Gross profit from storage, handling, and other activities also increased by
approximately $387,000 during the current period due to an increase
in these activities compared to the same period in the prior year.

GROVE MANAGEMENT DIVISION  Grove Management Division gross profit increased 
approximately $82,000 or 35.7% during the current three month period compared 
to the same period in the prior year.  The principal increase of 
approximately $60,000 resulted from the sale of fruit to third party packers 
and processors primarily due to an increase in the number of boxes sold.  
Additionally, there was an increase of approximately $22,000 in gross profit 
from the Company's grove caretaking and harvesting activities.

                  SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 
$101,000 for the current quarter, compared to the same period in the prior
year primarily as a result of increased staffing.

         GAIN/(LOSS) ON DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND OTHER

    The decreased gain on the disposition of property, equipment and other of
approximately $53,000 was principally due to differences in the gains on the
sale of commercial properties not utilized in the operations.

                                INTEREST EXPENSE

   Interest expense increased approximately $265,000 or 94.0% during the 
current three month period compared to the same period in the prior year.
The principal increase of approximately $271,000 was the result of an 
increase in debt outstanding.   Also, increased interest rates resulted in 
an increase of approximately $29,000.  Partially offsetting these increases
was a decrease in other interest charges of approximately $15,000 and an 
increase in capitalized interest of approximately $20,000.

                         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 deliveries
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.

    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 $30 million credit facility.  This facility is secured principally by most 
of the Company's current assets.  The outstanding balance at December  31, 1994
was approximately $16,019,000 and approximately $13,981,000 of additional 
borrowings were available under this facility. In January 1995 the working 
capital facility was increased from $30 million to $40 million.  This 
increase in the working capital facility was necessary to finance the 
larger inventories resulting from the increased volume of fruit being processed
and the increased inventory storage capacity.  The interest rate is 
variable based upon the financial institution's cost of funds plus a margin.  
The terms of this agreement call for repayment of the principal amount in
January 1997; accordingly, it is classified long-term.  The Company 
anticipates that the working capital facility will be adequately serviced with 
cash proceeds from operations.

   Additionally, as of December 31, 1994, the Company had a $6 million 
short-term capital revolving credit facility to provide interim financing for
capital projects.  As of December 31, 1994, the outstanding balance on this 
facility was $3 million.   The interest rate on this facility is variable 
based upon the financial institution's cost of funds plus a margin.   The 
terms of this agreement called for repayment of the principal amount in 
January 1995; accordingly, it is classified as short-term.  In January
1995 this facility was extended to January 1996.

    Current assets decreased approximately $5,440,000 as of December 31, 1994
compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994.  The principal component
of this was a decrease in inventories of approximately $7,136,000 in the 

current 


                                     -12-

three month period due to the Company's increased bulk citrus juice product
sales previously mentioned.  The Company's accounts receivable balance
increased approximately $1,164,000 during the current period as a result of
increased sales.  Additionally, there was an increase in cash and short-term
investments of approximately $132,000.   Advances on fruit purchases 
increased approximately $151,000 as the Company purchased fruit associated
with the 1994-95 season.  Also there was an increase of approximately 
$249,000 in prepaid expenses other current assets.

    Current liabilities increased approximately $296,000 during the current 
three month period compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. 
There was an increase of approximately $1,296,000 in accounts payable and 
accrued liabilities as a result of the beginning of the processing season.  
There was a decrease of $1,000,000 in short-term borrowings.  The current 
portion of long-term debt remained unchanged.

     At December 31, 1994 the Company's outstanding long-term debt was
approximately $33,043,000 including the working capital facility of
approximately $16,019,000.  In addition, current installments of long-term debt
were approximately $2,136,000 with the remaining amounts due on various dates
over the subsequent 17 years.  The Company anticipates that amounts due over 
the next twelve months will be paid out of working capital.  At December
31, 1994, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.

    The Company completed the installation of new irrigation systems on 1,670
acres of Company-owned Joshua and Bermont groves during fiscal 1994 at a cost
of approximately $1,370,000.  Irrigation expenditures in the current fiscal
year of approximately $621,000 have been made for the installation of new 
systems on an additional 1,142 acres of Company-owned groves.  Additional 
expenditures of approximately $979,000 have been made during the current 
year primarily for the purpose of improving the efficiency and capacity of the
Bartow processing facility.  Also during the current period expenditures of 
approximately $281,000 have been made for grove operations equipment.

    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 orange crop of 
approximately 174,200,000 boxes of round oranges.  In February 1995 the USDA 
revised its estimate for the 1994-95 Florida crop of round oranges to 
approximately 203,000,000 boxes which, if true, will be historically the 
second largest Florida crop.

    As of September 30, 1994 the Company completed the sale of all of its
capital stock in Frank Carroll Oil Company.

                                W I T N E S S E T H:


        WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated June 16, 1993, by and 
   among the Bank and the Borrowers, the Bank agreed to extend to the
   Borrowers a working capital line of credit loan in the maximum principal 
   amount of $20,000,000.00 (the "Working Capital Loan");

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the First Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated 
  January 10, 1994, by and among the Bank and the Borrowers, the Bank agreed
  to extend to the Borrowers a revolving line of credit loan in the maximum
  principal amount of $5,000,000.00 (the "Revolving Loan"); and

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated
   April 1, 1994, by and among the Bank and the Borrowers agreed to increase
   the maximum principal amount of (a) the Working Capital Loan from 
   $20,000,000.00 to $30,000,000.00 and (b) the Revolving Loan from 
   $5,000,000.00 to $6,000,000.00; and

        WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested the Bank to (a) renew and extend 
   the maturity date of the Working Capital Loan from January 31, 1996 until
   January 31, 1997 and (b) increase the maximum principal amount of the

        WHEREAS, the Revolving Loan matures on January 31, 1995 and the 
   Borrowers have requested the Bank to renew and extend the maturity of the
   Revolving Loan until January 31, 1996, and the Bank has agreed to such 
   renewal.

        NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises, and the
   mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Borrowers and the
   Bank do hereby agree as follows:

        1.   Amendments to Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement is hereby 
             amended as follows:

             (a)  The definition of "Revolving Period" is hereby deleted and, 
   in lieu thereof, there is substituted the following:

                  "'Revolving Period' shall mean the period during
                  the term of the Loans, which, in the case of the
                  Revolving Loan, shall commence on the date hereof
                  and end on the earlier of the occurrence of (i)
                  an Event of Default or (ii) January 31, 1996, or
                  such later date as the Bank may agree to in
                  writing, and in the case of the Working Capital
                  Loan, shall commence on the date hereof and end
                  on the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or
                  (ii) January 31, 1997, or such later date as the
                  Bank may agree to in writing."

             (b)  The definition of "Working Capital Loan" is hereby deleted
   and, in lieu thereof, there is substituted the following:

                  "'Working Capital Loan' shall mean the loan or
                  loans up to but not exceeding the principal
                  amount of $40,000,000.00 made to the Borrowers by
                  the Bank pursuant to and in accordance with the
                  terms of this Agreement."
        
             (c)  Section 2.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted and, in
   lieu thereof, there is substituted the following:

                  "SECTION 2.01.  The Loans.  The Bank agrees from
                  time to time during the applicable Revolving
                  Period to lend to the Borrowers, upon the request
                  of either Borrower, or pursuant to the Cash
                  Management Agreement, on the terms and conditions
                  set forth herein, with respect to the Revolving
                  Loan, up to the maximum principal amount of
                  $6,000,000.00 and, with respect to the Working
                  Capital Loan, up to the lesser of (i)
                  $40,000,000.00 or (ii) the amount of the
                  Borrowing Base.  During the Revolving Period, the
                  Borrowers shall be entitled to receive the entire
                  proceeds of the Loans in one or more Advances
                  pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, except as
                  otherwise specifically set forth in this
                  Agreement. Advances under the Revolving Loan and
                  the Working Capital Loan shall be evidenced by
                  the Revolving Note and the Working Capital Note,
                  respectively, payable as provided in Section 2.08
                  hereof. After the expiration of the Revolving
                  Period, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to
                  receive any Subsequent Advance. The Loans may
                  revolve during the Revolving Period; accordingly,
                  during the Revolving Period, the Borrowers may
                  borrow up to the maximum principal amount of said
                  Loans, repay all or any portion of such principal
                  amount of said Loans, and reborrow up to such
                  maximum principal amount, subject to the terms
                  and conditions set forth herein."
   
        2.   Capitalized Terms.  All capitalized terms contained herein shall 
   have the meanings assigned to them in the applicable Loan Documents (as 
   defined in the Loan Agreement) unless the context herein otherwise 
   dictates or unless different meanings are specifically assigned to such
   terms herein.

        3.   Representations and Warranties.  Each of the Borrowers represents
