1.  Loss per Common Share

Primary loss per common and common equivalent share, assuming no dilution,
are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and common stock equivalents outstanding during each year.  The number of
weighted average common and common equivalent shares, as applicable,
outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 1997, and the six months
ended March 31, 1996 was $3,249,432 and $3,093,750, respectively.  Primary
and fully diluted earnings per share are the same due to minimal trading in
the Company's stock.

                                                    =======       ========

The income tax provision exceeds the income from operations due to permanent
differences between financial and tax reporting as a result of the
non-deductibility of certain items related to the acquisition of Fun City
Popcorn, Inc. ("Fun City") and Tone.

4.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has operating leases for certain of its facilities.  Future
minimum lease payments at March 31, 1997, are as follows:

The Company is the guarantor on a $300,000 promissory note with a bank for
the benefit of the shareholders.  All terms and conditions of the loan
agreement are being met by the shareholders.


5.  Profit-Sharing Plan
	
Effective January 1, 1989, the Company amended and restated a noncontributory
profit sharing retirement plan covering substantially all employees.  Annual
employer contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of management.
 No employer contribution was made for the six months ended March 31, 1997.

6.  Related Party Transactions

The Company leases from entities owned by certain of its shareholders certain
operating facilities.  For the six-month period ended March 31, 1997, the
Company paid the entities $132,930 in rent.

7.  Common Stock

During the six-month period ended March 31, 1997, the Company raised $138,700
through a private placement.

In addition, as part of the acquisition of Fun City, the former owner of Fun
City was issued 100,000 shares of stock.

On December 31, 1996, the majority owners of Tone received 64,500 shares of
stock valued at $2 per share in satisfaction for a debt by the Company to
them.

8.  Acquisition and Disposal

  A.  On May 31, 1996, Tone acquired all of the outstanding stock of Fun City
      Popcorn, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, for $1,075,000 as follows:

                    Cash                        $875,000
                    Stock subscribed             200,000
                                                 -------
                                              $1,075,000
                                               =========

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction and,
accordingly, the fair value of the purchase price was allocated to assets
and liabilities based on the estimated fair value as of the acquisition date.
The excess value of the Company's stock over and above the value of the net
assets of $442,076, recorded as goodwill is to be amortized on the
straight-line basis over 15 years.  The amount of goodwill amortization for
the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $17,683.

The net purchase price was allocated as follows:

                      Working capital           $354,167 
                      Plant and equipment        469,903 
                      Goodwill                   442,076 
                      Other liabilities         (191,146)
                                               ---------
                      Purchase price          $1,075,000 
                                               =========

   B.  On October 15, 1996, the Company sold (in a reverse acquisition) a
       70.5% interest in Minute Man of America, Inc. ("MMA") to the
       shareholders of Tone.  The shareholders of Tone exchanged all of their
       stock in Tone for 2,000,000 common shares of MMA.   As part of this
       transaction:

       1.  MMA changed its name to Tone Products, Inc.
       2.  The board of directors of MMA was expanded from three to seven
           members.  Tone has placed six members on the board and one former
           MMA board member will remain.
       3.  Prior to the issuance of the 2,000,000 shares to the owners of
           Tone, the Company did a 1 for 4 reverse split of its stock
           reducing the number of outstanding shares by 2,320,312 shares.

The purchase price of $4,000,000 is the fair value of the MMA stock issued
to acquire the Company.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction and,
accordingly, the fair value of the purchase price was allocated to assets and
liabilities based on the estimated fair value as of the acquisition date.
The excess value of the Company's stock over and above the value of the net
assets of $1,090,890, recorded as goodwill to be amortized on the
straight-line basis over 15 years.  The amount of goodwill amortization for
the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $36,360.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of
consolidated results of operations of the Company and Tone for the six-month
period ended March 31, 1996, as if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of 1995.

						March 31,
                                                  1996
                                                ---------
			Net sales		$3,353,743
                        Net earnings               (49,742)

   C.  On December 5, 1996, the Company, disposed of the former sole
       operating segment in MMA. It exchanged all of the stock of Gibson
       to the former owner of Gibson in exchange for 75,000 shares of
       preferred stock in the Company which were simultaneously retired by
       the Company.  The sale will not have a significant effect on reported
       sales or earnings in the future.

9.  Subsequent Event

Elimination of the Accumulated Deficit in Shareholders' Equity 

On April 1, 1997, the Company eliminated the accumulated deficit amount on
its balance sheet through a readjustment also known as a "quasi
reorganization" in accordance with the state law of Arkansas.  Capital in
excess of par value was used to eliminate in its entirety the then current
accumulated deficit of $1,487,960 on the balance sheet under stockholders'
equity.  Retained earnings shown on the balance sheet in the future will
reflect earnings beginning April 1, 1997.  The accumulated deficit that was
eliminated as of April 1, 1997, it its entirety represented results from
discontinued operations of the Company.

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

                                   OVERVIEW

As outlined below, the Company's overall financial condition as compared to
September 30, 1996 has changed significantly due to the disposal of Gibson
and the acquisition of Tone and as a result, these financial statements are
not comparable.

Tone Products, Inc. was founded in 1947 and has evolved over the years from
a single market, single product manufacturer to a multi-product manufacturer
with national and international distribution.  At the Company's Illinois
facility they manufacture beverage and juice concentrates, frozen cocktail
bases and drink mixes, barbecue and steak sauces, flavored syrups and
marinades and dressings.  From their Nevada facility the Company distributes
cookies and other snack items as well as a line of flavored popcorn items
that they manufacture.

                            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                   Revenues

The Company's revenues are derived principally from the sale of food
products at its two facilities.  Sales have increased dramatically as the
Company's business is much more viable.   Since the Company disposed of
Gibson and acquired Tone, its financial statements are not comparable.
Generally sales at Tone are up more than 20% from the prior year.  Tone's
sales are traditionally higher in the summer and fall months due to their
product mix and the more seasonal usage of the barbecue sauces, flavored
syrups, and some of the drink mixes.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's long and short term equity is good.  The Company has negotiated
extensions and expansion of its credit lines to finance a continuing increase
in sales.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        None

Item 2. Changes in Securities

        In October 1996, a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of
        Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
        Arkansas which had the effect of reverse splitting the common shares
        of the corporation on a one for four basis.  Accordingly, for every
        four common shares held by a shareholder prior to the split, such
        shareholder holds one common share following the split.  Since the
        split pertains to all common shares of the corporation, each holder
        of common shares maintained his or her overall equity position in the
        corporation.  The split did not effect the rights and preferences of
        the common shares per se, but had the limited effect of reducing the
        total amount of common shares outstanding.
