GENERAL
The following discussion of the Company's results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ended Sept. 26, 1997 and Sept. 28, 1996 includes
the consolidated results of operations of Utopia Marketing, Inc. and its three
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sanders Importacao E. Exportacao Ltda. ("Sam & Libby
