 Note A - Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals, considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
the quarter ended January 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 1998.  For
further information, refer to the financial statements, and footnotes
thereto, included in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended October 31, 1997.

                                  Three Months Ended January 31, 1998
                                 Net Loss      Shares      Per-Share

average price for the quarter was higher than the exercise prices, because
the effect would have been antidilutive.

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

  Results of Operations. 

The following discussion includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs
of the Company's management and on assumptions made by and information
currently available to management.  All statements other than statements of
historical fact, regarding the Company's financial position, business
strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations of the
Company are forward-looking statements.  When used herein, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and words or
phrases of similar meaning, as they relate to the Company or management, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to
have been correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by the forward-looking statements.  These risks and
uncertainties include the Company's ability to maintain or expand its
distribution abilities, including the risk of disruptions in the
transportation system and relationships with brokers and distributors. 
Further, actual results may be affected by the Company's ability to compete
on price and other factors with other manufacturers and distributors of
frozen dessert products; customer acceptance of new products; general trends
in the food business as they relate to customer preferences for the Company's
products; and the Company's ability to obtain raw materials and produce
finished products in a timely manner, as well as its ability to develop and
maintain its co-packing relationships and strategic alliances.  In addition,
there are risks inherent in dependence on key customers, the loss of which
could materially adversely affect the Company's operations.  The reader is
advised that this list of risks is not exhaustive and should not be construed
as any prediction by the Company as to which risks would cause actual results
to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.

The Company's sales for the first fiscal quarter ending January 31, 1998 were
$1,613,935, up 7.1% compared to the corresponding quarter in 1997.  The
increased sales during 1998 were primarily the result of increases in
warehouse clubs, food service and international business.      

The Company historically incurs a loss during the winter months.  This year's
first quarter loss of $54,428 represented a 45% improvement compared with
$98,646 in 1997.  The improved results in the first quarter reflect a
continuation of the favorable upward trends for the Company.  

The driving forces behind the favorable trends continue to be the outstanding
quality of the Company's products, new product development capabilities, the
business relationships with its brokers and distributors, and the Company's
manufacturing and distribution systems.  The strategy implemented late last
year to have the Company's own regional sales managers has enabled the
Company to better support its brokers and distributors, and pave the way for
introducing new products.  This has contributed to the turnaround in food
service sales trends and the improved results for the quarter.   


The Company has recently developed a line of fruit smoothies which are
expected to contribute to future sales.  In March, the Company's fruit
smoothies will be introduced throughout the Coffee People chain.  Coffee
People and YOCREAM  personnel collaborated on unique recipes for this
healthy and zestful beverage that is being used by consumers as a breakfast
or lunch substitute.

YOCREAM  line of fruit smoothies, which are adaptable to both blender and
dispenser operation, are also being test marketed by other national food
operators.

The Company's gross profit margin increased to 30.7% during the quarter,
compared to 27.1% in the corresponding quarter in 1997.  The improved results
are consistent with recent trends.

Selling and  marketing expenses in the first quarter increased from 15.4% to
16.9% of sales.  The increase in such expenses in 1998 primarily related to
payroll and travel costs related to the addition of regional sales managers,
and increased sales activity.   

General and administrative expenses decreased, as a percentage of sales,
from 16.2% to 15.7% of sales for the quarter.   General and administrative
expenses have remained relatively fixed due to management's efforts to
control such expenses.    
 
The loss from operations decreased from approximately 4.5% to 1.9% of sales. 
An operating loss for the first quarter has been normal due to the seasonal
nature of the Company's business, and is not an indicator of the expected
results for the year.      

  Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The company has financed its operations and expansion from bank loans,
operating leases, capital leases, capital investment by its founders, private
and public securities offerings and internally generated funds.  

As of January 31, 1998, the Company's total borrowings under its bank line of
credit were $1,321,000, against a collateral base of  approximately
$1,329,600.  At January 31, 1998 the Company had cash funds available
aggregating $378,138 which were available to reduce bank borrowings.  The
current level of borrowings is consistent with the season of the year and
compares with $1,190,000 at January 31, 1997.  Interest is at 1% over the
bank's basic commercial lending rate. Total borrowings under this line are
payable upon demand and limited to 65% of eligible accounts receivable and
30% of eligible inventory, plus loan insurance provided by a governmental
agency, up to an aggregate maximum of $1,700,000.  The bank is currently in
the process of renewing the line which matures May 1, 1998.  The new line is
expected to provide for an increase in borrowing limits and provide a
$300,000 credit facility for equipment financing.

Accounts receivable at January 31, 1998 were $604,162, which reflects a 27.1%
decrease compared to October 31, 1997.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to the seasonal decline in sales compared to October 1997.  The
current level compares with $604,955 at January 31, 1997.

Inventory increased to $1,933,289 at January 31, 1998.  This 7% increase is
primarily due to a higher level of finished goods inventory.    
The Company believes its existing assets, bank lines, and revenues from
operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least
the next twelve months.  The Company expects its bank line to be renewed or
replaced at maturity. In the event that the Company's bank lines were not
renewed or replaced, the Company would need to curtail operations
substantially, seek additional capital, or both. <PAGE>
