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.

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 current goal is to finalize its pending merger to take full
 advantage of the broad based business that currently exists throughout
 the heavily populated eastern seaboard of the United States.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

          FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 3, 1997 AND MAY 4, 1996

SALES:

During the three months, consolidated sales remained static compared to
 a year ago.

    Net change $18,571  $152,509               $(133,938)
Explanation:                  

Foodservice:
    Increased sales at the Produce and Sheppard were $152,509 greater
 than sales decreases in the other foodservice divisions.

Eggs:    The decrease in sales of $133,938 results primarily from lower
 selling prices on 2 million dozens sold.

COST OF GOODS SOLD:

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

During the three months, cost of goods sold increased $231,036.  This
 increase was generally in line with changes in the Company's business
  and the extremely negative impact on costs at the Gulf Coast division. 
 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.

During the three months operating expenses decreased $26,426 reflecting
 minor changes in the Company's business as compared to the same period
 of the prior year.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

During the three months, selling, general and administrative expenses 
were down $42,738.  The change reflects minor changes in all divisions.

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest expense increased by $22,180 during the first three months.  This
 increase reflects a 2% greater cost for borrowing, offset by reduced 
borrowing levels of approximately $900,000, incurred with the Company's
 primary lender.

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 1997 tax return, it will
 have tax loss carryforwards of approximately $5,500,000 expiring in the years 
2009 through 2012.

NET (LOSS) EARNINGS:

For the three months the net loss amounted to $56,361 as compared to net
 earnings of $116,544 for the same three months a year ago. The loss per
 share is $.04 versus a profit of $.08 per share reported for the same period
 a year ago.

Comparisons To The Prior Year:          

                                            Explanations

Foodservice      $(141,000)  The impact of a 23% decline in first quarter
                                          sales at Gulf Coast resulted in a loss
                                           of $43,000
                                          compared to a profit of $60,000 for
                                           the same 
                                          period a year ago.  The remainder
                                           of $38,000
                                          results from a small net decline in
                                           all other
                                          foodservice operations.

Egg Marketing      (15,000)  The small decrease of $15,000 results from a 
                                         decline of 65,000 units sold and
                                          reduced levels
                                         of consulting income.

Interest Expense   (22,000)  Interest expense increased due to higher rates 
                                         in the first quarter compared to a
                                         year ago.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
 concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
 satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown
 in the accompanying financial statements, during the years ended 
February 1, 1997 and February 3, 1996, the Company incurred net 
losses of $1,167,087 and $2,761,305, respectively, and as of
 February 1, 1997 the Company had a stockholders' deficit of 
$758,476.  These factors among others may indicate that the Company
 will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
 time.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
 to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
 and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the 
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  As described
 in Note F of Form 10K for fiscal 1997, the Company is not in
 compliance with several provisions of its line of credit agreement
 and the lender has placed significant operating and financing restrictions
 on the Company pursuant to a forbearance agreement.  The Company's
 continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to 
generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, 
to comply with the terms and covenants of its financing agreements, 
to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, and 
ultimately to attain successful operations.  Management is continuing 
its efforts to obtain additional funds from investors so that the Company
 can meet its obligations and sustain operations.
There can be no assurance, however, that management's efforts will
 ultimately be successful.

During fiscal 1997, The Company:

Was placed in default by its major lender as a result of over- advances 
the lender made to the Company which were not secured by assets of
 the Company.  As a result of the default, the Company's stated interest 
rate on this debt increased from 2.25% over the prime rate in fiscal 
1996 to 4.25% over the prime rate in fiscal 1997.

On December 16, 1996, signed a Forbearance Agreement which 
extends the existing line of credit until March 30, 1998, agrees to a 
repayment schedule that permits the Company to operate and fund 
its business under certain limitations and conditions and provides the 
lender additional collateral in the form of its North Carolina and 
Virginia real estate.

Failed to make its regular semi-annual interest payments on the 
Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures.  Although the Company
 is in monetary default, its Bondholders have not indicated they will
 place the Company in default.  On the contrary, the Bondholders 
are cooperating with the Company in the Company's attempt to raise
 additional capital through a direct investment or through a qualified 
merger partner.

Did not fully satisfy the American Stock Exchange's guidelines for 
continued listing.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the 
listing will be continued.

On May 20, 1997, mortgaged the Hawthorne, Florida property for
 $251,500 and signed an option agreement to sell its New Jersey
 operations if certain conditions were not met.

On May 29, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into
 preliminary merger discussions with a privately owned Miami based
 specialty seafood producer and distributor SeaSpecialties Inc.  If 
the merger were to be consummated, the combination would create 
a food processing and distribution entity with sales in excess of $100 
million per year.

Although a definitive merger agreement has yet to be signed, both 
SeaSpecialties Inc., and Sun City have indicated that discussions 
are progressing.  If the merger should be consummated, Mr. Oxenberg, 
Chairman and C.E.O. of SeaSpecialties, in a stock for stock transaction,
