3.  INCOME PER COMMON SHARE


    Basic income per common share has been computed based on the weighted
average shares outstanding in the 1999 and 1998 period, respectively. Diluted
income per share is computed using the weighted average shares outstanding plus
the assumed conversion of the Preferred Stock and the dilutive effect of stock
options for all periods presented.


4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


    Comprehensive income for the Company for the three month periods ended July
4, 1999 and July 5, 1998 was $3.5 and $7.4, respectively, and $5.8 and $15.0,
respectively, for the six month periods ended July 4, 1999 and July 5, 1998.
Such amounts represent the net income less foreign currency translation
adjustments for each period presented.

           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.

Three months ended July 4, 1999 compared to the three months ended July 5, 1998

     Net sales were $24.8 in the second quarter of 1999 and $26.0 in the second
quarter of 1998. The decrease of $1.2 or 4.6% was due to lower shipment volume
primarily to the Company's tobacco customers in the United States, China and
eastern Europe.

     Cost of sales were $13.1 and $13.9 in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, the Company's cost of sales was
52.8% in 1999 and 53.5% in 1998. This decrease was due to cost reductions from
operations and lower material costs.

     SG&A expenses were $1.7 and $2.1 in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The 1999 expenses were lower primarily due to higher income
recorded on the Company's overfunded pension plan.

     Interest expense, net was $0.7 and $1.2 in the second quarter of 1999 and
1998, 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 41.5% in 1999 and 6.5% in 1998. The tax provision in the second
quarter reflects a tax provision for federal, state and local, and foreign
income taxes. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 1998
reflects a reduction in the valuation allowance for the portion of the Company's
net operating loss carryforwards expected to be utilized.

Six months ended July 4, 1999 compared to the six months ended July 5, 1998

    Net sales were $48.9 and $52.8 for the six months periods ended July 4, 1999
and July 5, 1998, respectively. The decrease of $3.9 was 7.4% lower than 1998
and resulted from decreased shipments to the Company's tobacco customers in the
United States, China and eastern Europe.

    Cost of sales were $25.5 and $27.6 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 52.1% in 1999 and 52.3% in 1998. The
1999 decrease was due primarily to lower operating and material costs.

    SG&A expenses were $3.7 and $4.3 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 1999
decrease of $0.6 was primarily due to higher income from the Company's
overfunded pension plan.

    Interest expense, net was $1.5 and $2.5 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
decrease was due to lower interest rates and lower debt outstanding during 1999.

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


    The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income
taxes was 41.9% and 7.4% in 1999 and 1998 respectively. The tax provision in the
six months ended July 4, 1999 reflects a tax provision for federal, state and
local, and foreign income taxes. The lower effective tax rate in the six months
ended July 5, 1998 reflects a reduction in the valuation allowance for the
portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards expected to be
utilized.

YEAR 2000

    The Year 2000 issue refers to the fact that many computer systems were
originally programmed using two digits rather than four digits to identify the
applicable year. When the year 2000 occurs, these systems could interpret the
year as 1900 rather than 2000. Unless hardware, system software and applications
are corrected to be Year 2000 compliant, computers and the devices they control
could generate miscalculations and create operational problems. Various systems
could be affected, ranging from complex information technology ("IT") computer
systems to non-IT devices such as an individual machine's programmable logic
controller.

    To address this issue, the Company developed a multi-phase plan including
the formation of a team consisting of internal resources and third-party
experts. The phases of the plan include: inventorying affected technology and
assessing the impact of the Year 2000 issue on IT systems, non-IT systems (such
as factory equipment, building systems and other embedded systems) and business
partner readiness; developing solution plans; modification or replacement;
testing and certification; and developing contingency plans. The Company has
completed the remediation and testing of the software, hardware and
manufacturing control systems which management believes are now compliant.

    The Company relies on third-party suppliers for many products and services
and the Company could be adversely impacted if these suppliers, and the
Company's customers as well, do not make the necessary changes to their own
systems and products successfully and in a timely manner. The Company has
communicated with its customers and suppliers on this issue in an effort to
minimize any potential Year 2000 compliance impact. The Company's primary
suppliers of licorice root and licorice extract do not rely on computer
applications and will therefore be able to supply the Company with its licorice
requirements after the turn of the century. In addition, the Company plans to
have on hand at December 31, 1999, enough licorice root to meet production
requirements for the next fifteen to twenty four months, thus mitigating any
major disruptions in the ocean freight transportation system. The Company's
principal customers are the major US cigarette and chewing tobacco companies.
They have informed us that they have programs in effect to become compliant by
the turn of the century, however, it is not possible to guarantee their
compliance.

    The total cost of the program is estimated to be $0.3 of which primarily all
has been incurred. All of the costs associated with the Company's Year 2000
efforts have come from, or are expected to come from, cash flow from operations
and have been or will be expensed when incurred.

    Management of the Company believes it has an effective program in place to
resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. Nevertheless, since it is not
possible to anticipate all possible future outcomes, especially when third
parties are involved, there could be circumstances in which the Company would be
unable, in its usual fashion, to take customer orders, manufacture and ship
products, invoice customers or collect payments. In addition, failure of
critical suppliers and service providers to perform and disruptions in the
economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues could also materially
adversely

affect the Company. The amount of potential liability and lost revenue, if any,
cannot be reasonably estimated at this time nor can the Company identify
specifically the most likely worst case scenario. The amount of potential
liability and lost revenue, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time
nor can the Company identify specifically the most likely worst case scenario.


    The Company has contingency plans for some critical applications and is
working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among other
actions, manual workarounds, increasing certain inventories and adjusting
staffing strategies.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's net cash flows from operating activities were $11.4 and $19.3
for the six month period ended July 4, 1999 and July 5, 1998, respectively. The
decrease of $7.9 for the 1999 period resulted primarily from a larger increase
in accounts receivable of $1.6 due to the timing of shipments, a smaller
decrease in inventories, litigation settlement payments and the timing of
accruals and related payments. 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 $48.4 is adequate to meet customer requirements. Capital
expenditures for the six month period ended July 4, 1999 were $0.5.

    Under the Credit Agreement dated as of November 17, 1997 and amended April
9, 1999, the Company may borrow up to $100.0 under a revolving credit facility.
At July 4, 1999, $43.0 was borrowed under the facility and approximately $8.9
was reserved to support lender guarantees for outstanding letters of credit.
Management believes that the remaining availability of approximately $48.1 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.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


    This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 4, 1999, as
well as certain of the Company's other public documents and statements and oral
