Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations




The following discussion provides information which management believes is
relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's operations and
financial condition.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements.










COMPANY PROFILE:

Sun City Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), which began in 1949 as an egg
processing and marketing company, has now moved its focus to the
foodservice marketing and distribution business throughout parts of the
eastern seaboard of the United States with a heavy concentration in the
State of Florida.  The Company intends to expand its market share through
internal sales growth and the acquisition of related companies in the
foodservice distribution business.

In 1990, the Company began its expansion as a foodservice distributor that
now includes five centers in Florida covering the West Coast of Florida,
Central Florida and Southeast Florida.  In addition, the Company has
operations that distribute to markets in Atlanta, Georgia, Baltimore,
Maryland, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and throughout New Jersey.

The Company's clientele includes hotels, restaurants, airline caterers,
country clubs and cruiseship lines.

The Company's goal is to build a network of foodservice companies
throughout the heavily populated eastern seaboard of the United States with
its major focus on the State of Florida.

RESULT OF OPERATIONS:

         FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 3, 1996 AND JULY 29, 1995

SALES:

During the six months, consolidated sales decreased $7,920,134, down
18.7% compared to a year ago.

Net change  $(7,920,134) $2,731,860  23.5% $(10,569,493)  (23.2%)


Reasons:              

                  Amount        Explanations
Foodservice:
   Produce Co.  $5,593,470      Increase due to the new produce division
                                started June 19, 1995.

   Gulf Coast   (2,631,987)     Decrease due to a portion of Gulf
                                Coast's business switched to warehouse
                                and distribution servicing.

   All Others     (229,623)     Decrease due to generally lower unit
                                sales.

   Net Increase $2,731,860 

Eggs:
   Egg Marketing   606,852      Increase includes consulting and rent
                                income which resulted from the sale of
                                the three egg businesses in fiscal 1996.

   Egg Processing   (11,176,345)     Decrease results from the sale of the
                                     three egg processing divisions during
                                     fiscal 1996.

   Net Decrease    $(10,569,493)
<PAGE>
COST OF GOODS SOLD:

Cost of goods sold include product cost and freight in costs.

During the six months, cost of goods sold decreased $6,425,030.  This
decrease was generally in line with the change in the Company's business
resulting from the sale and elimination of the three egg processing
divisions.  The rate of change is influenced by the Company's overall
customer and product mix, as well as the changes in market prices which
fluctuate from year to year.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

Operating expenses include warehousing and distribution costs and for the
prior year the cost of processing within the three egg operations.

During the six months operating expenses decreased $1,970,231 reflecting
the Company's change in its business as compared to the same period of the
prior year which included egg operating expenses.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Selling, general and administrative expenses were up a net $50,577.  The
change reflects increases in the foodservice division primarily with  the
newly formed produce division offset by a combination of the elimination
of the three egg operations and reduction in corporate headquarters costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest expense decreased by $122,841 during the first six months of
fiscal 1997.  This drop reflects a decrease in the average outstanding debt
of $952,000 for the current period compared to the corresponding period a
year earlier.

INCOME TAXES:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, under
which deferred tax liabilities are recognized for future taxable amounts
and deferred tax assets are recognized for future deductions and operating
loss carryforwards.  A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce net
deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be
realized.

The Company estimates that, after filing its fiscal 1996 tax return, it
will have tax loss carryforwards of approximately $4,700,000 expiring in
the years 2005 through 2009.
<PAGE>
NET EARNINGS:

Net Earnings for the six months amounted to $116,765 as compared to
a loss of $405,077 for the same period a year ago.  Earnings per
share totalled $.08 versus a loss of $.28 per share reported for
the same period a year ago.

Reasons:           

                  Amount        Explanations
   Foodservice    $120,710      Improved operating profits in 5 of the 7

                                with added revenue from its consulting
                                and rent income agreements.

                                     plus a reduction in executive payroll
                                     and related costs at corporate

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The fiscal 1996 loss has depleted substantially all of the Company's
capital.  Management expects the Company to return to profitability by
focusing its efforts on developing the foodservice business and maintaining
its small but profitable egg marketing company.  However, the strategy of
expanding the Company's market share in the foodservice industry through
the acquisition of small to mid-sized foodservice distribution companies
has been curtailed at this time as a result of the expanded losses and
reduced capital incurred during fiscal 1996.  The Company no longer has the
capital to seek expansion through acquisitions.  The Company has disposed
of its egg production and processing operations and has instituted efforts
to reduce administrative expenses.  Management will concentrate its efforts
on the existing foodservice business with a goal to improve each operation
and grow internally until it can become profitable enough to seek other
acquisitions.  There can be no assurance, however, that management's
efforts will ultimately be successful.

During fiscal 1996, the Company:

Disposed of property, plant and equipment and related joint venture
investments relating to its Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, Burgaw, North
Carolina, and Jarratt, Virginia, egg production and processing operations. 
This resulted in a reduction in fixed assets and capital lease obligations
of $1,543,663 and $503,031, respectively.

Acquired Sheppard Distributors, Inc. of Auburndale, Florida for $1,350,000. 
This resulted in goodwill of $450,000.

Surrendered certain key man life insurance policies, the net proceeds of
which were used to purchase new split dollar and paid up deferred
compensation policies.

Completed its second private placement offering by raising an additional
$700,000 in five year Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures carrying
a fixed 9% interest rate, convertible at $5.125 per share.

Expanded its credit facility with its major lender from $7.0 million to
$7.5 million.  The credit facility is solely for the Company's working
capital needs.

As of February 3, 1996, the Company did not meet the minimum net worth
requirement required by its lending arrangement.  The Company has obtained
a waiver from the creditor regarding this covenant through March 31, 1997. 
In conjunction with the granting of this waiver, the lender increased the
interest rate on the line of credit by an additional quarter of one
percent.
<PAGE>
On August 7, 1996 the Company had been notified by the lender under its
principal credit facility that it had borrowed $1.2 million in excess of
the lender's formula of the applicable borrowing base limitations and that,
therefore, certain technical events of default had occurred under its
credit facility.  As a result, and until the events of default have been
cured, the rate of interest payable on the then outstanding balance of $4.6
million has increased from prime plus 2.50% to prime plus 4.25%.  The
amount of the overadvance which has already been reduced by $504,000 to
$678,000, should be significantly reduced during the third and fourth
quarters ended February 1, 1997 as a result of increased seasonal sales,
the possible sale of certain real estate held by the Company as property
held for sale, as well as from the collection of what the lender classifies
as ineligible accounts.  The Company and its lender have both come to an
accommodation in principle subject to the execution of a definitive
agreement wherein the lender will continue to provide the Company with its
working capital requirements as called for under the existing borrowing
formula.  The Company believes that based on this arrangement and the fact
that sales have already begun to increase, it will have sufficient working
capital to meet its day to day obligations.

In addition to the lender providing cash for operations, the Company
believes it will require additional financing to meet other obligations and
capital needs.

On August 1, 1996, the Company failed to make its semi-annual interest
payment on its Senior Convertible Bonds and on September 1, 1996 was in
default and is in arrearage on such obligation totalling $59,500.

The Company is currently investigating the availability of additional or
substitute financing, as well as a capital investment to satisfy its
capital needs.  If, however, the Company is not successful in obtaining an
investment or such financing, the Company may seek other remedies to
address any liquidity problems that may arise in the future.
