                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                   AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

   The Company's revenues are principally derived from sales of licorice
extract to the tobacco and confectionery industries for use as a flavoring
ingredient. Sales are recorded when shipments are made to customers.

Three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared with the three month period
ended April 2, 1995

   Net sales in 1996 and 1995 were $26.0 million and $26.9 million,
respectively, a decrease of $0.9 million or 3.4%. U.S. sales decreased by $1.1
million and foreign sales (including export sales) increased by $0.2 million.
The decrease in U.S. sales was due to lower shipment volume. The increase in
foreign sales was due to higher average selling prices of $0.4 million
partially offset by lower volume of $0.2 million.

   Cost of sales was $15.1 million and $16.0 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, a decrease of $0.9 million or 6.2%. The decrease in cost of
sales was primarily due to the decrease in sales volume. As a percentage of
net sales, cost of sales decreased to 57.9% in 1996 from 59.6% in 1995
primarily due to lower material costs.

   Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $2.4 million and
$2.2 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase of $0.2 million was
a result of higher compensation and health and welfare costs. As a percentage
of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 9.0% in 1996 from 8.0% in 1995 due to
the higher costs on lower sales for the 1996 quarter.

   Interest expense, net, was $3.1 million in 1996 and $3.4 million in 1995.
The decrease of $0.3 million was due to lower average debt outstanding in 1996
as compared to 1995.

   The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income
taxes was 39.3% in 1996 and 38.9% in 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Company's net cash flows from operating activities were $5.3 million
and $4.8 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and April 2,
1995, respectively. The increase of $0.5 million from 1995 to 1996 was
primarily due to the timing of shipments to customers, payment of sales
invoices by customers and inventory purchases and deliveries. The Company's
working capital requirements, especially for accounts receivables and
inventory are affected by customer demand, by current and prospective supplies
of raw materials and raw material prices. Although the Company's inventories
have fluctuated in the past several years, the current inventory of $45.2
million is at the level where the Company feels comfortable to meet ongoing
customer requirements. Management expects that inventory levels may continue
to fluctuate in the future as the Company takes advantage of opportunities to
purchase quality raw materials at the lowest possible cost while maintaining
its policy of purchasing licorice root from all available sources to maintain
relationships with its suppliers and insure a continuous supply of raw
materials.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Capital expenditures for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
April 2, 1995 were $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. While the
Company has not made any material commitments for capital expenditures, they
are expected to be approximately $1.8 million for the remaining nine months of
1996.

   Under the Senior Credit, the Company may borrow up to $25.0 million under a
revolving credit facility. At March 31, 1996 approximately $2.9 million of
this facility had been reserved to support lender guarantees for outstanding
letters of credit. Management believes the remaining availability of
approximately $22.1 million under the Company's revolving credit facility will
be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital, capital expenditure and
debt service needs for the foreseeable future.

    On April 17, 1996, C&F (i) offered to purchase for cash, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent
Solicitation Statement dated April 17, 1996, all of the outstanding 11 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002 of the Company at a cash price equal to
108.5% of the principal amount of $85.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest
to, but not including, the date of payment and (ii) solicited consents to amend
the indenture related to the notes. The offer and solicitation expire on May
15, 1996 unless extended. If the offer is consummated, the Company will incur
an extraordinary charge related to the redemption premium, discount and the
amortized debt issuance costs related to the retired debt. The offer is
conditioned upon, among other things, C&F securing the financing to fund the
purchase of notes pursuant to the offer.
