ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER

                  This statement relates to the Schedule 13D (the "Initial
Schedule 13D"), filed on August 5, 1996 by Greencore Group plc, a corporation
organized under the laws of Ireland ("Greencore"), and Earlsfort Holdings B.V.
("Earlsfort", and together with Greencore the "Filing Persons"), a corporation
organized under the laws of the Netherlands with regard to the common stock,
without par value ("Common Stock"), of Imperial Holly Corporation, a Texas
corporation (the "Issuer"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on
September 10, 1998. This Statement is Amendment No. 2 to such Schedule 13D.


ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                  As described in item 6 below, the Filing Persons have
acquired, and exercised, an option to acquire 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock.
The aggregate purchase price for the Option (as defined in Item 6 below) is
$137,500. The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Common Stock to be
purchased by the Filing Persons pursuant to the exercise of the Option is
$7,733,226.03. The Filing Persons will obtain the funds to purchase the Option
and to purchase such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the
Option from their available working capital. 


ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

                  (a) As of the close of business on November 19, 1998, the
Filing Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 4,900,000
shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 15.3% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Filing Persons' percentage ownership is
based on an aggregate of 32,022,208 shares of Common Stock outstanding,


                                       4
<PAGE>
including 27,050,208 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 10, 1998,
as set forth in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 1998, plus 4,972,000 shares of Common Stock issued by the
Issuer in connection with the Merger (as defined in Item 6 below), according to
information provided in the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed November
13, 1998 (the "Form 8-K").

                  To the best of the Filing Persons' knowledge and belief, none
of the executive officers or the directors of any of the Filing Persons
beneficially own any shares of the Common Stock.

                  (b) The Filing Persons share the power to vote or to direct
the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 4,900,000 shares of
Common Stock of which the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners, including
the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of
the Option. Reference is hereby made to Item 6 of the Initial Schedule 13D for a
description of certain agreements among the Filing Persons and the Issuer, and
to Item 6 below for a description of certain amendments to such agreements made
in connection with the acquisition of the Option by the Filing Persons.

                  (c) Except as described in Item 6, there have been no
transactions in the Common Stock within the last 60 days by the Filing Persons
or, to the best of the Filing Persons' knowledge and belief, by any of the
executive officers or the directors of the Filing Persons.


                                       5
<PAGE>
                  (d) The Filing Persons do not know of any other person who has
the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock to be acquired by the Filing
Persons. 


ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
                  RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                  The Issuer is party to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of September 4, 1998, as amended by an Amendment dated as of October 22, 1998
(as so amended, the "Merger Agreement"), among the Issuer, IHK Acquisition Corp.
and DSLT Inc. The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K.
The merger (the "Merger") contemplated by the Merger Agreement was consummated
November 2, 1998. In connection therewith, among other things, the Issuer issued
4,972,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Merger Shares") to the former
stockholders of DSLT Inc., and DSLT Inc.
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

                  Pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer
retained an option to repurchase some or all of the Merger Shares for a period
of 45 days following the Merger at a price of $7 per share plus interest at a
rate of 7.5% per annum from the date of the Merger to the date of the purchase
of such shares pursuant to the exercise of such option. Such option is
transferable in whole or in part by the Issuer. On November 19, 1998, the
Issuer, the Filing Persons and certain other persons entered into a Letter
Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, the
Issuer sold a portion of such option with respect to 1,100,000 of the Merger
Shares to the Filing Persons (the "Option"), for a purchase price of $137,500 in


                                       6
<PAGE>
cash. A copy of such Letter Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and
incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Issuer
also sold an option with respect to an additional number of the Merger Shares to
certain other persons. Immediately following the execution of the Letter
Agreement, the Filing Person exercised the Option, and the other persons who
acquired options with respect to Merger Shares also exercised such options. The
acquisition of Shares pursuant to the Option (as well as the shares to be
acquired by the other persons referred to above) will be consummated on November
23, 1998. The purchase price for the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock to be
acquired by the Filing Persons (including interest calculated as set forth above
from the date of the Merger to November 24, 1998) will be $7,734,808.22 in cash.

                  The Issuer and the Filing Persons are parties to a
Registration Rights Agreement and an Investor Agreement, each of which is
described in Item 6 to the Original Schedule 13D and which are set forth as
Exhibits A and B, respectively, of Exhibit 1 thereto. In connection with the
sale of the Option, the Issuer and the Filing Persons have entered into an
Amendment to Investor Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, dated
November 19, 1998 (the "Amendment"), to modify certain terms of such agreements.
A copy of the Amendment Agreement is set forth as Exhibit 2 hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. Among other things, the Investor Agreement
restricts the Filing Persons' right to sell, transfer any beneficial interest
in, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose any shares of the Common Stock or


                                       7
<PAGE>
other voting securities of the Issuer subject to certain exceptions, including
in a transaction involving capital stock of the Issuer possessing no more than
2% of the voting power of the Issuer. Under the terms of the Amendment, such
percentage would be increased to 10%. In addition, the Amendment provides that
the Issuer would have 45 days (rather than 90 days) to exercise certain rights
of first refusal and rights of first offer held by the Issuer under the Investor
Agreement with respect to shares of Common Stock owned by the Filing Persons.
The Amendment also provides that the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to
the exercise of the Option will be deemed "Registrable Securities" for purposes
of the Registration Rights Agreement.
