                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Sales for the quarter ended July 30, 1994 increased $33.3 million or
9.1% from the comparable prior year quarter.  This sales increase resulted from
the introduction of new product lines and marketing programs.

         Cost of sales for the quarter ended July 30, 1994 increased $31.6
million or 11.3% to $312.1 million as compared with $280.4 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1994.  This resulted in a decrease in the gross profit
margin to 21.9% from 23.5%, due to the emphasis on certain newer product lines,
changes in customer mix and aggressive programs to increase sales.  Warehouse,
selling, general and administrative expenses were comparable between years.
However, as a percentage of sales, the Company's operating expenses decreased
to 20.2% from 22.1% last year due to the progress made under the Company's
restructuring program.

         Interest expense for the quarter ended July 30, 1994 increased by $0.4
million to $3.4 million as compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended July
31, 1993.  The increase in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was due to
increased borrowing levels and higher interest rates.  The effective tax rates
for both periods were the same at 41%.

         Net income for the quarter ended July 30, 1994 increased by $0.8
million to $1.9 million from $1.1 million in the comparable prior last year.
The primary reasons accounting for this improvement were increased sales and
reduced operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the first quarter of fiscal 1995, cash used for operations was
$23.1 million as compared to $4.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal
1994.  This increase was primarily due to the reduction in accounts payable and
the increase in inventories.  Cash flows used in investing activities for the
first quarter of fiscal 1995 consisted of capital expenditures of $18.5 million
as compared to $9.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1994.  This
increase is attributable to the expenditures for the construction of the new
Los Angeles distribution center.  Cash provided by financing activities was
$34.9 million for the three months ended July 30, 1994 as compared to $8.5
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1993.  This increase was due to
increased borrowings under the Company's bank credit line.

         Working capital at July 30, 1994 was $182.9 million compared to 
$159.9 million at April 30, 1994.  The current ratio was 2.4:1 at July 30, 1994
compared with 2.1:1 at April 30, 1994.  As of July 30, 1994, total current
assets represented approximately 62% of the total assets of the Company.

         In fiscal 1995, the Company plans to spend a total of approximately
$45.0 million to complete the construction of its new Los Angeles distribution
center, of which approximately $27.1 million remained to be spent as of August
31, 1994.

         In September 1994, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
sell Tone Brothers, Inc. (Tone Brothers), its spice subsidiary, to Burns, Philp 
& Company Limited.  Terms have not been disclosed.  The transaction is subject 
to regulatory and other customary closing conditions and is expected to be
