ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A summary and comparison of the results of operations for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995 is set forth below (in thousands).
     
                                           Quarter Ended September 30
                                            1996                1995         
                                       ----------------------------------
Net sales                             $15,437  100.0%      $13,527  100.0%

Gross profit                            5,729   37.1%        5,364   39.7%

Selling, general and
 administrative expenses,
 depreciation and amortization          4,559   29.5%        4,270   31.6%

Operating income                        1,170    7.6%        1,094    8.1%

Interest and financing costs              581    3.8%          358    2.6%

Income before income taxes                589    3.8%          736    5.4%

Income taxes                              253    1.6%          310    2.3%

Net income                            $   336    2.2%       $  426    3.1%

   
Sales for the current quarter increased by approximately $2 million as
compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year.  The sales increase
was principally  attributable to the Estee division, which was acquired in
November 1995, offset, in part, by a decrease in sales of rice cake products.
The rice cake category has been under pressure from other snack products.
Other sellers of rice cakes have been similarly impacted.  The Company is
reacting by continuing to introduce new products in a variety of categories,
with a goal of reducing reliance on rice cakes and generating a more
diversified sales mix.

Gross margin percentage decreased by 2.6% in the current quarter principally
because of the change in product mix referred to above and an increase in
warehousing and delivery costs.  The impact of the reduced gross margin was
largely offset by reduced promotional spending because of reduced sales of
rice cake products. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
decreased by 2.1% in the current quarter as compared to the 1995 quarter.
Rice cake products traditionally carry larger promotional costs than the
Company's other product lines.  Although, the Company did not lower
promotional levels for rice cake products, the reduced sales of this category
had the impact of reducing overall promotional costs.  In addition, Estee
sales have lower associated promotional costs.  General and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were at the same level during the
current quarter as the 1995 quarter.   

<PAGE>
In November 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the business of
The Estee Corporation.  The increase in interest and financing costs was
principally attributable to interest on debt incurred in connection with the 
Estee acquisition.     

Income before income taxes, as a percentage of net sales for the current
quarter, decreased by approximately 1.6% as compared to the 1995 quarter as a
result of the aforementioned decrease in gross margin, decrease in operating
expenses, as a percentage of sales, and increase in interest and financing
costs.  

Income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income amounted to approximately 43%
in the current quarter as compared to 42% for the prior 1995 quarter.  This
current percentage is deemed representative of the Company's ongoing
effective income tax rate.  


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In November 1995, the Company purchased substantially all of the business of
The Estee Corporation.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company and
its bank entered into a $18 million Restated Credit Facility ("Facility")
providing for a $9 million senior term loan and a $9 million revolving credit
line.  The Facility replaced the Company's existing $6 million revolving
credit line with the same bank.  Borrowings under the facility bear interest
at 1/2% to 1% over the bank's base rate.  The senior term loan is repayable
in quarterly principal installments, commencing March 31, 1996 through
maturity of the Facility on June 30, 2000.  Pursuant to the revolving credit
line, the Company may borrow up to 85% of eligible trade receivables and 60%
of eligible inventories.  Amounts outstanding under the Facility are
collateralized by principally all of the Company's assets.  The Facility
also contains certain financial and other restrictive covenants.

The Company borrowed the full $9 million senior term loan and $2 million
under the revolving credit line to fund the cash purchase price of the
acquisition. Subsequent thereto, the Company repaid approximately $4 million
of such borrowings, principally from the proceeds of sale of equipment
acquired in the Estee acquisition and operating cash flow.

Of the $9 million available under the Company's revolving credit line,
$1.65 million was outstanding at September 30, 1996.  From time to time,
principally because of inventory requirements, the Company may utilize a
portion of the revolving credit line.

The Company's 12.5% Subordinated Debentures mature on April 14, 2004 and
require principal payments of $1,943,000 on October 14, 2000, and of 
$2,307,000, $2,125,000, and $2,125,000, respectively on April 14 of 2002,
2003 and 2004.

Working capital at September 30, 1996 amounted to approximately $6.9 million,
which is adequate to meet the Company's operational needs.  The Company
purchases its products from independent co-packers and does not intend to
invest in plant or equipment relating to the manufacture of products for
sale. Consequently, additions to property and equipment are not expected to
be material in future periods.  The Company's restated revolving credit
facility and Debentures impose limitations on the incurrance of additional
indebtedness and require that the Company comply with certain financial
tests and restrictive covenants.

<PAGE>

The aggregate long-term debt service requirements for the 12 month period
ending September 30, 1997 are approximately $4.9 million, which includes the
optional redemption of a $1.75 million subordinated note issued to the seller
(the "Estee Note") in connection with the acquisition of Estee and proceeds
from collections of certain receivables from the sale of equipment, which are
required to be utilized for pre-payments of the senior term loan.  The
Company presently intends to redeem the Estee Note on April 30, 1997.  The
Company anticipates that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet
all of its debt service and operating requirements.


INFLATION

The Company does not believe that inflation had a significant impact on the 
Company's results of operations for the periods presented.
