          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

GENERAL

      The Company's revenues are principally derived from sales of licorice
extract to the tobacco and confectionery industries for use as a flavoring
ingredient. Sales are recorded when title passes to customers.

         Due to the Company's policy of ending all interim accounting periods on
Sunday, the 1998 six month period ended on July 5, 1998 and had 186 days
whereas the 1997 six month period ended on June 29, 1997 and had 180 days.
Because daily shipment volumes are not consistent but rather depend upon the
timing of customer orders and the availability and timing of shipments by
transport companies, the additional days in 1998 had no significant effect on
the results for the six month periods. The second quarter in both 1998 and 1997
had 91 days.

Three months ended July 5, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 29,
1997

      Net sales were $26.0 in the second quarter of 1998 and $24.3 in the
second quarter of 1997. The increase of $1.7 or 7.0% was due to higher shipment
volume primarily to the Company's customers in Southeast Asia which had reduced
purchases in the first quarter and higher sales of non-licorice herbal
products.

      Cost of sales were $13.9 and $12.6 in the second quarter of 1998 and
1997, respectively As a percentage of net sales, the Company's cost of sales
was 53.5% in 1998 and 51.9% in 1997. This increase was due to a change in the
mix of products sold.

      SG&A expenses were $2.1 and $2.4 in the second quarter of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The 1998 expenses were lower primarily due to higher income
recorded from the Company's overfunded pension plan.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

       Interest expense, net was $1.2 and $1.8 in the second quarter of 1998
and 1997, respectively. The decrease was due to lower average interest rates
and lower average debt outstanding in the quarter.

       The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income
taxes was 6.5% in 1998 and 13.8% in 1997. The tax provision in the second
quarter reflects a benefit of approximately 32% and 25% of income before taxes
in 1998 and 1997, respectively, relating primarily to net deferred tax assets
which have been recorded by way of a reduction in the valuation allowance. The
net deferred tax assets recorded represent a portion of the Company's net
operating loss carryforwards expected to be utilized. Based upon the historical
results of Flavors projected for a period which takes into consideration the
current operating environment in the tobacco industry, the Company believes
that it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize these benefits.

Six months ended July 5, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 29, 1997.

       Net sales were $52.8 and $51.5 for the six month periods ended July 5,
1998 and June 29, 1997, respectively. The increase of $1.3 was 2.5% over 1997
and resulted from increased shipments to the Company's foreign licorice
customers and to non-licorice herbal customers.

       Cost of sales were $27.6 and $28.3 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Cost
of sales in 1997 included a charge of $1.5 for the amortization of the purchase
price allocation related to inventories resulting from the November 1996
Flavors Acquisition. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 52.3% in
1998 and 55.0% in 1997. The 1998 decrease was due primarily to the charges
relating to the Flavors Acquisition in 1997.

       SG&A expenses were $4.3 and $4.8 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
1998 decrease of $0.5 was primarily due to higher income recorded from the
Company's overfunded pension plan.

       Interest expense, net was $2.5 and $3.5 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The decrease was due to lower interest rates and lower debt outstanding during
1998.

       The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income
taxes was 7.4% and 13.3% in 1998 and 1997 respectively. The tax provision in
the second quarter reflects a benefit of approximately 31% and 26% of income
before taxes in 1998 and 1997, respectively, relating primarily to net deferred
tax assets which have been recorded by way of a reduction in the valuation
allowance. The net deferred tax assets recorded represent a portion of the
Company's net operating loss carryforwards expected to be utilized. Based upon
the historical results of Flavors projected for a period which takes into
consideration the current operating environment in the tobacco industry, the
Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to
utilize these benefits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company's net cash flows from operating activities were $19.3 and
$16.6 for the six month period ended July 5, 1998 and June 29, 1997,
respectively. The increase resulted primarily from higher net income in the
1998 period. The Company's working capital requirements for trade accounts
receivables and inventory are affected by customer demand and by current and
prospective supplies of raw material. Management believes the current inventory
of $47.0 is adequate to meet customer requirements. Capital expenditures for
the six month period ended July 5, 1998 were $2.2. During the second quarter
the Company purchased its factory in Richmond, Va. which it had previously
leased, and sold its old factory, which it had used as a warehouse, to the
lessor for a net cash payment of $1.7.

       Under the Credit Agreement dated as of November 17, 1997, Pneumo Abex
may borrow up to $120.0 under a revolving credit facility. At July 5, 1998,
$65.0 was borrowed under the facility and approximately $22.8 was reserved to
support lender guarantees for outstanding letters of credit. Management
believes that the remaining availability of approximately $32.2 under the
revolving credit facility and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
meet the Company's working capital, capital expenditure and debt service for
the foreseeable future.
