                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                     August 31, 1995 and November 30, 1994

                                  (Unaudited)



(1)   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
        The Fresh Juice Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) and 
        have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of 
        management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring 
        adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, 
        results of earnings and cash flows at August 31, 1995, and for all 
        periods presented have been made.  All material intercompany accounts 
        and transactions have been eliminated.  From October 1994 through 
        August 1995, the Company sold and distributed organic produce through
        its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fresh Pik't Natural Foods, Inc.  As of 
        December 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No.115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
        Equity Securities".

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
        financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
        accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested 
        that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction 
        with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included 
        in the Company's November 30, 1994 consolidated financial statements 
        and the Company's February 28, 1995 Form 10-Q. The results of 
        operations for the period ended August 31, 1995 are not necessarily 

        indicative of the operating results which may be achieved for the
        full year.

      Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior years 
        consolidated financial statements to the 1995 presentation.

(2)   Inventories

      Inventories at August 31, 1995 and November 30, 1994 consist of the

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Results of Operations and Financial Conditions

                Three months ended August 31, 1995 compared to
                      three months ended August 31, 1994


Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarter ended August 31, 1995 increased to $2,279,190, or 9%
more than the corresponding quarter of the preceding year primarily as a result
of the distribution of organic produce by the Company beginning in October 1994.

Gross profit for the quarter ended August 31, 1995 increased to $878,269 from
$817,039 in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year due to the
distribution of organic produce by the Company beginning in October 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended August 31,
1995 increased 48% to $773,785 over the corresponding quarter of the preceding
year due to the increased sales of organic produce by the Company beginning in
October 1994, as well as expenses associated with the start-up of its
manufacturing operations based in Florida.

                 Nine months ended August 31, 1995 compared to
                       nine months ended August 31, 1994

Results of Operations

Net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1995 increased to $7,423,025, or
25% more than the corresponding nine months of the preceding year primarily as a
result of the distribution of organic produce by the Company beginning in

October 1994.

Gross profit for the nine months ended August 31, 1995 increased to $2,645,457
from $2,484,439 in the corresponding nine months of the preceding year due to
the distribution of organic produce by the Company beginning in October 1994. 
The decrease in gross margin from 42% in 1994 to 36% in 1995 was primarily the
result of an increase in the cost of juice products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August
31, 1995 increased 32% to $2,234,608 over the corresponding nine months of the
preceding year due to the increased sales of organic produce by the Company
beginning in October 1994, as well as expenses associated with the start-up of
its manufacturing operations based in Florida.

Liquidity

The Company had working capital of $3,457,030 at August 31, 1995 compared to
$4,112,211 at November 30, 1994.  The Company requires capital to support the
level of inventory required to meet current demand as well as expected future
increases in demand for its product.  During the 1995 harvesting season, which
ends in August 1995, the Company believes it is processing sufficient product to
meet its current demand.  Additional financing may be required to support levels
of inventory required to meet future demand.  A lack of availability of quality
fruit and higher cost of citrus would hamper the Company's ability to maintain
its rate of growth and its gross margin.

In August 1995, the Company purchased land and a building in the amount of
$625,000 for the purpose of manufacturing juice products.  The Company financed
$475,000 of the purchase through a secured mortgage

held by the seller, the remaining $150,000 was paid from available working
capital.  The Company has begun refurbishment of the building with total
contract costs estimated at $2,500,000 of which $600,000 has been expended as of
August 31, 1995.  The Company expects to finance the balance of these costs
through the use of working capital and a term loan with a financial institution.

Inflation

The Company believes that its business is not affected by inflation to any
extent greater than that of the general economy.
