Note 4 - Income Taxes:
- ----------------------
At September 30, 1996, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of 
approximately $970,000, consisting primarily of $645,075 in net operating 
loss carryforwards and $325,110 of other future deductible temporary 
differences.  The net operating loss carryforwards are subject to certain 
annual utilization limits.  Prior to September 30, 1995, the Company had 
recorded a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets due 
to management's uncertainty about the likelihood that the Company would fully 
utilize these benefits.  However, it was determined by the Company at 
September 30, 1995 that, based upon the Company's recent and expected future 
operating results, it is now more likely than not that the Company will 
realize all of its future income tax benefits.  Based on this determination, 
the Company eliminated the valuation allowance against the deferred income 
tax assets which resulted in an income tax benefit of $936,440 for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1995.

Note 5 - Loss on Investment in AMCON/Dividend of AMCON Common Stock:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
During the September 1995 quarter, the Company wrote down its investment in 
AMCON Distributing Company, Inc. ("AMCON") to the market price of AMCON 
common stock as reported by NASDAQ on August 4, 1995, the date upon which the 
stock was initially included on NASDAQ, which resulted in a charge of 
$848,342.  On July 31, 1995, the Company distributed 266,469 shares of AMCON 
common stock as a dividend to the Company's shareholders of record as of July 
5, 1995.  This distribution of 266,469 shares of AMCON represented 87% of the 
Company's holdings in AMCON.  At September 30, 1996 the Company continued to 
hold 39,674 shares of AMCON common stock.


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

Certain statements in the following discussions regarding the Company's 
future product and business plans, financial results, performance and events 
are forward-looking statements and are based on current expectations.  Actual 
results may differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Current Developments
- --------------------
The Company continued to experience growth of its line of Stewart's brand 
soft drinks during the September 1996 quarter.  During the third quarter of 
1996, the Company also announced the introduction of Java Cola, a carbonated 
coffee flavored line of Cola drinks.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At September 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $4,050,867, an 
increase of $1,180,875, or 41%, from December 31, 1995.  During the nine-month 
period ending September 30, 1996, the Company generated $640,121 in cash from 
operations, purchased equipment 

                              -8-
<PAGE>

aggregating approximately $52,000, and received approximately $135,000 from 
the exercise of stock options.  This activity resulted in an increase in the 
Company's cash balance of approximately $717,000 to a September 30, 1996 
balance of $1,293,232.  The Company's other current liabilities increased by 
$653,096 to a September 30, 1996 balance of $1,231,177.  This change is 
primarily due to increases in accrued promotional expense and payroll expense, 
and an increase in the current year tax liability.

The Company intends to continue utilizing cash from operations to meet its 
ongoing obligations.  However, the Company has also established a bank line 
of credit in the amount of $500,000 which it may utilize from time to time to 
meet seasonal cash needs.  Management does not expect liquidity problems 
during 1996 assuming the Company can maintain or exceed its current sales 
volume and expenses as a percentage of sales remain relatively constant. 

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of 
approximately $970,000, consisting primarily of net operating loss 
carryforwards and other deferred reserves.  As of September 30, 1996, the 
Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,700,000 
which expire from 1999 through 2005.  Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal 
Revenue Code, the Company is limited in the amount of net operating loss 
carryforwards it may use each year to offset taxable income.  The Company's 
consolidated Section 382 annual limitation is approximately $343,000.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and September 
30, 1995 Revenue for the nine-months ended September 30, 1996 was $14,597,468 
versus revenue of $9,628,768 for the nine-months ended September 30, 1995.  
This increase of $4,968,700, or 52%, was primarily due to increased sales of 
Stewart's brand products

Cost of goods sold increased by $3,446,324 for the comparative nine-months 
ended September 30, 1996 and  September 30, 1995.  As a percentage of sales, 
cost of goods sold decreased to 72.3% for the nine-months ended September 30, 
1996 from 73.8% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease 
is primarily due to a combination of the following: increase in costs on 
certain raw materials, increase in selling price for certain packages of the 
Stewart's selling line, and greater sales of larger package sizes in the 
Stewart's line.

General and administrative expenses increased by $230,286 for the nine-months 
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 1995.
General and administrative costs decreased as a percentage of sales to 5.6% 
from 6.1% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The increase is due to increased salaries, and bad debt expense.

                              -9-
<PAGE>


Selling expense increased $422,294 for the comparative nine-months ended 
September 30, 1996 from September 30, 1995, primarily due to increased 
promotional spending on the Stewart's brand products.  As a percentage of 
sales, selling expense was relatively constant.

Net income increased by $267,975, or 34.3%, to $1,048,522 for the nine-months 
ended September, 1996 from $780,547 for the nine-months ended September 30, 
1995. The Company recorded income taxes using a 38% income tax rate compared 
to 21% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Comparison of the three-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and September 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30, 1995
- --------
Revenue for the three-months ended September 30, 1996 was $5,664,924 versus 
revenue of $4,286,294 for the three-months ended September 30, 1995.  This 
increase of $1,378,630, or 32.2%, was primarily due to increases sales of 
Stewart's brand products

Cost of goods sold increased by $859,813 for the comparative three-months 
ended September 30, 1996 and  September 30, 1995.  As a percentage of sales, 
cost of goods sold decreased to 72.1% for the three-months ended September 
30, 1996 from 75.3% for the three-months ended September 30, 1995. This 
decrease is primarily due to a combination of the following: increase in 
costs on certain raw materials, increase in selling price for certain packages 
of the Stewart's selling line, greater sales of larger package sizes in the 
Stewart's line, and temporarily higher production costs in the third quarter 
of 1995.

General and administrative expenses increased by $77,819 for the three-months 
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 
1995. General and administrative costs increased as a percentage of sales to 
5.4% from 5.3% for the three-months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  The increase is primarily due to increased salaries expense, 
and an increase in bad debts expense.

Selling expense increased $25,489 for the comparative three-months ended 
September 30, 1996 from September 30,  1995.  As a percentage of sales, 
selling expense decreased to 8.9% from 11.2% for the three-months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This decrease is primarily due to 
the timing of promotional expense resulting in lower promotional spending as 
a % of sales in the third quarter of 1996 as compared with the third quarter 
of 1995.

Net income increased by $89,352, or 25.1%, to $445,115 for the three-months 
ended September 30, 1996 from $355,763 for the three-months ended September 
30, 1995. The Company recorded its income taxes using a 38% income tax rate 
compared to 21% for the three-months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.
