as  of  September  30,  1995 and for all  periods  presented.   All
adjustments  made have been of a normal recurring nature.   Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements   prepared   in  accordance  with   generally   accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The  Company
believes  that the disclosures included are adequate and provide  a
fair  presentation  of interim period results.   Interim  financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position
or  operating  results for an entire year.  It  is  suggested  that
these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with  the
audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in  the
Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

Note 2 - Redeemable Preference and Preferred Stock

5% Cumulative Convertible Second Preferred Stock

As of September 30, 1995, authorized shares were 500,000 and issued
and  outstanding  shares  were 10,860.  The  voting  5%  Cumulative
Convertible  Second Preferred Stock ($20 par value) is  convertible
at the holder's option, on a share-for-share basis, into non-voting
5% Cumulative Prior Preference Stock ($20 par value).

5% Cumulative Prior Preference Stock

As  of September 30, 1995, authorized shares were 1,500,000, issued
shares were 753,496 and outstanding shares were 753,163.

Both  issues  are redeemable at the Company's option  for  $21  per
share.

Note 3 - Accounting Change

Effective  July  1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board (FASB) Statement #112, "Employers' Accounting  for
Postemployment Benefits."  The cumulative effect of adoption was  a
$2.5 million pretax charge, or $1.5 million after-tax, in the first
quarter  of  fiscal 1995.  The adoption of this statement  did  not
have a material effect on operating results or cash flows in fiscal
1995 nor is it expected to have a material effect in future years.

Note 4 - Fiscal-Year Change

On  May  10, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a change in  the
Company's  fiscal year end from June 30 to December  31,  effective
the  calendar  year  beginning January 1,  1996.   The  Company  is
currently in a six-month fiscal transition period that precedes the
start of the new calendar-year cycle.  The Company will file a Form
10-K no later than March 30, 1996 covering the six-month transition
period from July 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.

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


Three Months Ended September 30, 1995
Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 1994

On  June  8, 1995, the Company sold its Van Camp's pork  and  beans
business.    Consequently,  Stokely's  products  consist  only   of
Gatorade thirst quencher.

Consolidated  net  sales  for the first quarter  of  the  six-month
transition  period ending December 31, 1995 were $373.3 million,  up
six  percent  from  the first quarter of fiscal 1995.   Volume  was
relatively  flat.  Volume increased 17 percent in  Gatorade  thirst
quencher  in the United States.  However, this increase was  offset
substantially by the absence of sales and volume from the  divested
Van Camp's business and declines in export sales to Mexico.  If the
Van  Camp's  business  results  were  excluded,  sales  would  have
increased  16  percent and volume eight percent.   Gatorade  thirst
quencher  maintains approximately 80 percent market  share  of  the
sports beverage category despite the fact that two major soft drink
competitors   have  broadened  their  distribution  of  competitive
beverage  products  throughout the  United  States.   The  Gatorade
thirst  quencher volume increase was a result of increased consumer
demand  due  to  new  packaging and flavor innovations  and  warmer
weather  as compared to the prior year's July-to-September  period.
The  change  in  sales  relative to volume  was  also  affected  by
product mix.  Price increases did not have a significant impact  on
sales.

Gross  profit margin was 54.0 percent compared to 49.3  percent  in
the  prior  year.   The  increase is due  to  product  mix  changes
resulting   from  the  divestiture  of  the  Van  Camp's  business.
Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A) expenses  decreased  20
percent to $111.4 million.  This is primarily due to a decrease  of
15  percent in advertising and merchandising (A&M) expenses and the
absence  of expenses associated with the Van Camp's business.   A&M
expenses  were  23.5 percent of sales compared to 29.4  percent  of
sales  in  the  prior  year.  The reduction in  the  ratio  of  A&M
expenses  to  sales is due to the increased efficiency in  spending
for Gatorade thirst quencher.

Interest  income  of $8.4 million increased $2.0 million  from  the
prior year due to higher average amounts due from Quaker as well as
higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net  cash  provided by operating activities of $101.6  million  and
$86.2  million for the three months ended September  30,  1995  and
1994,  respectively, were well in excess of the Company's dividends
and  capital  expenditures.  The increase in net cash  provided  by
operating activities resulted mainly from increased net income  and
working capital changes.  Capital expenditures for the three months
ended  September  30,  1995 and 1994  were $5.5  million  and  $8.7
million,  respectively,  with  no material  individual  commitments
outstanding.

The  Company has an investing and borrowing arrangement under which
it  loans  its  available cash to Quaker or borrows its  short-term
cash requirements from Quaker.  Certain subsidiaries of the Company
currently  maintain  cash balances.  The  amount  due  from  Quaker
increased  $101.0 million primarily reflecting changes in  accounts
receivable.

Accounting and Fiscal-Year Change

Effective  July  1, 1994, the Company adopted FASB Statement  #112,
"Employer's   Accounting   for   Postemployment   Benefits."    The
cumulative  effect of adoption was a $1.5 million after-tax  charge
in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal 1995.   The  adoption  of  this
statement  did not have a material effect on operating  results  or
cash  flows  in fiscal 1995 nor is it expected to have  a  material
effect in future years.

To capture the results of a full beverage season in a single fiscal-
year  period, the Company is changing its fiscal year to align with
the  calendar  year,  beginning January 1, 1996.   The  Company  is
currently in a six-month transition period that precedes the  start
of the new calendar-year cycle.
