</TABLE>

The Company uses interest swap agreements to change the fixed/variable 
interest rate mix of the debt portfolio to reduce the Company's aggregate 
risk to movements in interest rates. Amounts paid or received under interest 
rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change and are recognized 
over the life of the swap agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. 
The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the counterparties are 
included in accrued interest expense. The fair value of the swap agreement 
noted in (2) below was not recognized in the consolidated financial 
statements since it is accounted for as hedge. The criteria required to be 
met for hedge accounting is that a) the item to be hedged exposes the Company 
to interest rate risk and b) the interest rate swap reduces that exposure and 
is designated a hedge. The fair value and the related change in fair value of 
the agreement noted in (1) below is not significant to the financial 
statements. A summary of the interest rate swaps is as follows:

(1) The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank 
calling for the Company to exchange, as of May 1 and November 1 through 2004, 
interest payment streams calculated on a principal balance starting at 
$4,000,000 and reducing starting in November 1999. The Company's interest is 
calculated based upon a floating rate of 1.06% above the six-month LIBOR 
rate. The bank's rate is 8.905%.

(2) The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement accounted 
for as a hedge with a bank. The agreement calls for the Company to exchange, 
as of January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, through 2002, interest 
payment streams calculated on a notional balance equal to the principal 
balance of the bank note payable. The Company's rate is fixed at 8.46%.

The long-term debt contains various restrictive covenants related to 
fixed-charge coverage, interest expense coverage, net worth and debt 
limitation. All covenants have been met as of March 31, 1999.

Note 4. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the 
average common shares outstanding. On a diluted basis, shares outstanding are 
adjusted to assume the exercise of stock options.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company produces and supplies brandy, rum, wine and spirits to 
beverage alcohol manufacturers; bottles beverage alcohol and other beverages 
on a contract basis; produces a line of value-priced spirits; produces, 
imports and markets premium branded spirits; and produces vinegar, cooking 
wine and other alcohol-related products.

         BULK ALCOHOL PRODUCTS. The Company distills citrus brandy, citrus 
and cane spirits and rum, produces fortified citrus wine, and sells these 
products to over 40 producers of beverage alcohol in the United States and 
internationally. The Company also purchases grain alcohol from several 
suppliers located in the Midwest and resells it, primarily to export 
customers. Citrus brandy and spirits are distilled from citrus juice 
byproducts purchased from manufacturers of citrus juice concentrate. The 
Company's citrus brandy is used primarily as an ingredient in flavored 
brandies. Citrus spirits are used primarily as a fortifying ingredient to 
increase the alcohol content of the Company's citrus wine and the wine of 
other manufacturers. The Company's citrus wine is fermented from citrus juice 
and fortified with citrus spirits to increase its alcohol content to 
approximately 20% by volume. Known as fortified citrus wine, this product is 
used primarily as an ingredient in cordials, whiskies and other beverage 
alcohol. Rum and cane spirits are distilled from sugar cane molasses and are 
sold to other bottlers of rum, producers of beverage alcohol, food companies 
and flavor manufacturers. Rum is also used in the Company's premium branded 
spirits and value-priced spirits line.

         VALUE-PRICED SPIRITS. The Company produces, bottles and sells a 
complete line of spirits under its own proprietary labels and under the 
private labels of major retailers of liquor located in the Southeast. These 
products currently include rum, gin, vodka, tequila, cordials and various 
whiskies. The Company also produces and sells distilled spirits in the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. The Company distills and ages its own rum, but generally 
produces its other spirits from alcohol purchased from third parties. 
Depending on the particular formula for a product, the Company adds flavoring 
and/or sugar, reduces the product's proof and then filters and bottles the 
finished product.

         PREMIUM BRANDED SPIRITS. In 1996, the Company began to develop, 
import and market premium branded spirits nationally. Since 1996, the Company 
has established and strengthened relationships with wholesalers, expanded its 
distribution network, developed new products, obtained new agency agreements 
and acquired additional management and marketing expertise. The Company's 
premium branded spirits include Cruzan Estate Rums, Cruzan Flavored Rums, 
Cruzan Rums, Porfidio Tequila and Plymouth Gin. Management's strategy has 
been to focus on marketing and building premium brands with an initial 
emphasis on the rum and tequila categories.

         CONTRACT BOTTLING. The Company bottles coolers, prepared cocktails 
and other beverage alcohol on a contract basis. The Company also bottles 
other beverages on a contract basis including fruit juices, carbonated and 
non-carbonated fruit flavored beverages, flavored sparkling water and 
ready-to-drink brewed iced teas.

         VINEGAR AND COOKING WINE. To complement its distilling, winery and 
bottling operations, the Company produces vinegar and cooking wine for sale 
to condiment manufacturers, food service distributors and major retailers. 
The Company's sales to retailers are sold under its own proprietary labels 
and under the private labels of major retailers in the Southeast.

         The Company's net sales and gross margins (gross profit as a 
percentage of net sales) vary depending on the mix of business among the 
Company's products. Historically, gross margins have been highest in bulk 
alcohol products and premium branded spirits and lower in value-priced 
spirits, contract bottling, vinegar and cooking wine operations. Within its 
contract bottling operations, sales and gross margins have varied 
substantially based upon the mix of business from the Company's "Type A" and 
"Type B" bottling customers. Type A bottling customers pay the Company to 
purchase their raw materials and these costs are passed through to the 
customer. Type B bottling customers supply their own raw materials and are 
only charged for bottling charges. Although gross profit per case for the 
Company's Type A and Type B bottling customers is approximately equal, given 
the same case volume, net sales and cost of goods sold with respect to 
products bottled for Type A bottling customers 

                                       9
<PAGE>

are higher, and gross margins are lower, than for Type B bottling customers. 
As a result, significant fluctuations in volume of Type A bottling customers 
can distort the Company's gross margin.

         The Company has a limited number of customers, and these customers 
often purchase bulk alcohol products in significant quantities or place 
significant orders for contract bottling services, distilled spirits, vinegar 
and cooking wine. Accordingly, the size and timing of purchase orders and 
product shipments can cause operating results to fluctuate significantly from 
quarter to quarter. Additionally, some Company products generate higher 
profit margins than others, and changes in the Company's product mix will 
cause gross margins to fluctuate. Certain aspects of the Company's business 
are also seasonal, with increased demand for the Company's contract bottling 
services from April to October and increased production of the Company's bulk 
alcohol products during the months from November to June, corresponding to 
the Florida citrus-harvest. As a result of these factors, the Company's 
operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

         Net sales represent the Company's gross sales less excise taxes. 
Excise taxes are generally payable on products bottled by the Company. In 
addition, excise taxes are payable on sales of industrial alcohol to certain 
customers. Accordingly, excise taxes vary from period to period depending 
upon the Company's product and customer mix.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosure about 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way 
public companies report information about operating segments. SFAS No. 131, 
which is based on the management approach to segment reporting, establishes 
requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report 
entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the 
material countries in which the entity holds assets and reports revenue. 
Management has not yet evaluated the effects of these changes on its 
reporting of segment information. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 in its 
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for 
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting 
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. 
SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either 
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure 
those instruments at fair value. Management has not yet evaluated the effects 
of this change on its financial position. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 
as required during its fiscal year ended September 30, 1999.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         Until recently, computer programs generally were written using two 
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Accordingly, programs 
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 instead of as the year 2000. 
This problem may affect the Company's information technology systems (IT 
systems), such as financial, order entry, inventory control and forecasting 
systems, and non-IT systems that contain computer chips, such as production 
equipment and security systems. It may also affect the technology systems of 
third party vendors and customers, and of governmental entities upon which 
the Company's business ordinarily relies.

         The Company is addressing the Year 2000 issues in three phases: 
assessment, design of appropriate remediation, and implementation. For its IT 
systems, the Company has substantially completed the assessment and 
remediation design phases and is in the implementation phase, which consists 
of replacing or repairing non-compliant systems, testing the new systems and 
training employees to use them. The Company expects to complete the 
implementation phase by September 1999. The Company has recently completed 
the assessment and testing of its non-IT systems and has determined that its 
non-IT systems are Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company is assessing 
the Year 2000 preparedness of important customers and suppliers and is 
monitoring their remediation efforts.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         The total cost of Year 2000 issues is currently estimated at 
approximately $900,000, including internal costs of approximately $260,000. 
Of the total estimated cost, approximately $750,000 will be attributable to 
new systems and thus capitalized. The remaining $150,000 will be expensed as 
incurred. All costs are expected to be funded through operating cash flows. 
Through March 31, 1999, the Company has incurred approximately $390,000, of 
which $360,000 has been capitalized and $30,000 has been expensed.

         The Company expects to manage the Year 2000 issues in a timely 
manner and, based on its efforts to date, believes that substantial 
disruptions in business operations due to Year 2000 non-compliance of systems 
are unlikely. However, it is not possible to anticipate all possible future 
outcomes, especially since third parties are involved. Thus, there could be 
circumstances in which the Company would be unable to process customer 
orders, produce or ship products, invoice customers, collect payments, 
receive customary governmental approvals or authorizations as they relate to 
the Company's business, or perform other normal business activities. To 
address these risks, the Company has begun and intends to continue developing 
contingency plans designed to mitigate potential disruptions in operations, 
including stockpiling raw materials and finished goods, identifying 
alternative sources of supplies, creating back-up order processing and 
invoicing procedures, and other appropriate measures. The Company expects to 
complete development and testing of these contingency plans by September 1999.

         The costs, expected completion dates and risks described above 
represent management's best estimates. However, there can be no guarantee 
that these estimates will prove to be accurate. Actual results could differ 
significantly. If the Company does not successfully complete anticipated 
replacements and other remediation to IT systems, if unanticipated 
disruptions in non-IT systems occur, or if significant vendors or customers 
do not successfully achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis, 
operations or financial results could be adversely affected in the future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations may contain, among other things, information regarding 
revenue growth, expenditure levels and plans for development. These 
statements could be considered forward-looking statements that involve a 
number of risks and uncertainties. The following is a list of factors, among 
others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the 
forward-looking statements: business conditions and growth in certain market 
segments and industries and the general economy; competitive factors 
including increased competition and price pressures; availability of third 
party component products at reasonable prices; excise taxes; foreign currency 
exposure; changes in product mix; lower than expected customer orders and 
quarterly seasonal fluctuation of those orders; and product shipment 
interruptions. See "Risk Factors" in previous filings with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.

         Certain amounts presented in this Item 2 have generally been rounded 
to the nearest thousand and hundred thousand, as applicable, but the 
percentages calculated are based on actual amounts without rounding.

     NET SALES. Net sales were $35.6 million in 1999, an increase of 0.4% 
from net sales of $35.4 million in 1998.

     Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $13.1 million in 1999, a 
decrease of 6.4% from net sales of $14.0 million in 1998. Unit sales of 
citrus brandy decreased 14.3% in 1999. Unit sales of citrus brandy have 
declined as a result of a decline in demand for brandy products which 
management believes is due to changing demographics. Management expects this 
trend to continue in the future. Unit sales of citrus spirits increased 38.7% 
in 1999, due to increased business with new and existing customers. Unit 
sales of rum decreased 3.2% in 1999 primarily due to higher sales in 1998 
prior to a price increase. Unit sales of cane spirits decreased 9.6% in 1999, 
due to the timing of customer orders. Unit sales of grain alcohol decreased 
76.7% in 1999. Export sales of grain alcohol to Eastern Europe and Russia 
have decreased due to the economic crisis in that region. Management cannot 
predict whether or when sales of grain alcohol will return to historical 
levels. Unit sales of fortified citrus wine increased 6.5% in 1999, due to 
the timing of customer orders.

     Net sales of premium branded spirits were $5.2 million in 1999, an 
increase of 20.3% from net sales of $4.3 million in 1998. Sales increases 
reflect the continued expansion of the Company's distribution network and the 
success of its Cruzan flavored rums.

                      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Net sales of value-priced spirits were $5.7 million in 1999, an increase 
of 1.1% from net sales of $5.6 million in 1998. Value-priced spirits volume 
decreased 4.5%. Management expects the Company's private label business to 
increase as its private label customers expand by adding new locations and 
through acquisitions.

     Net sales of contract bottling services were $3.1 million in 1999, a 
decrease of 11.6% from net sales of $3.5 million in 1998. The Company's 
contract bottling volume decreased 7.0% in 1999. The decrease in volume is 
due to both the timing of customer orders and the loss of bottling customers 
due to price competition. For the Company's fiscal year ended September 30, 
1998, the amount of bottling business with these lost customers amounted to 
9.5% of total contract bottling volume.

     Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $5.0 million in 1999, a 
decrease of 1.1% from net sales of $5.0 million in 1998. The Company's two 
vinegar plants are operating at maximum capacity. The Company intends to 
expand its vinegar production capacity by building or acquiring additional 
facilities.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $11.5 million in 1999, an increase of 
10.8% from gross profit of $10.3 million in 1998. Gross margin increased to 
32.2% in 1999 from 29.2% in 1998. The improvement in gross margin is 
primarily attributable to reduced raw material cost in the Company's domestic 
distilling operations, reduced manufacturing overhead and a favorable change 
in product mix.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses were $7.3 million in 1999, an increase of 6.3% from 
$6.9 million in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 20.7% 
of net sales in 1999 and 19.5% in 1998. The increase in selling, general and 
administrative expenses in 1999, is primarily attributable to increased 
marketing expenses and new employees related to the Company's efforts in 
increasing its distribution network for its premium branded spirits.

     INTEREST INCOME. The Company earns interest on its cash investments and 
notes receivable. The decrease in interest income in 1999 is due to lower 
average amounts of notes receivable outstanding compared to 1998.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $1.9 million in 1999 and $2.0 
million in 1998. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower levels of 
debt outstanding and lower interest rates during 1999 compared to 1998.

     OTHER, NET. Included in other income is rental income from the Bahamian 
subsidiary. The Company had a non-recurring gain of $.4 million in 1998.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Company's effective income tax rate was 24.0% in 
1999 and 14.1% in 1998. The low tax rate is attributable to the Virgin 
Islands subsidiary which has a 90% exemption from U.S. federal income taxes. 
Also, in 1998 the Company amended its 1993, 1994 and 1995 federal income tax 
returns which resulted in loss carryforwards available in 1998 and a refund 
of income tax previously paid.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH

month period ending March 31, 1999 and references to 1998 represent the three

     NET SALES. Net sales were $19.0 million in 1999, an increase of 7.6% 
from net sales of $17.7 million in 1998.

                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $6.8 million in 1999, an 
increase of 1.0% from net sales of $6.8 million in 1998. Unit sales of citrus 
brandy decreased 5.5% in 1999. Unit sales of citrus brandy have declined as a 
result of a decline in demand for brandy products which management believes 
is due to changing demographics. Management expects this trend to continue in 
the future. Unit sales of citrus spirits increased 42.5% in 1999, due to 
increased business with new and existing customers. Unit sales of rum 
decreased 6.3% in 1999 primarily due to higher sales in 1998 prior to a price 
increase. Unit sales of cane spirits decreased 27.5% in 1999, due to the 
timing of customer orders. Unit sales of grain alcohol decreased 60.8% in 
1999. Export sales of grain alcohol to Eastern Europe and Russia have 
decreased due to the economic crisis in that region. Management cannot 
predict whether or when sales of grain alcohol will return to historical 
levels. Unit sales of fortified citrus wine decreased 0.2% in 1999, due to 
the timing of customer orders.

     Net sales of premium branded spirits were $2.9 million in 1999, an 
increase of 29.3% from net sales of $2.2 million in 1998. Sales increases 
reflect the continued expansion of the Company's distribution network and the 
success of its Cruzan flavored rums.

     Net sales of value-priced spirits were $2.7 million in 1999, a decrease 
of 4.9% from net sales of $2.8 million in 1998. Value-priced spirits volume 
decreased 13.8%. Management expects the Company's private label business to 
increase as its private label customers expand by adding new locations and 
through acquisitions.

     Net sales of contract bottling services were $2.0 million in 1999, a 
decrease of 6.9% from net sales of $2.2 million in 1998. The Company's 
contract bottling volume increased 6.3% in 1999. The increase in volume is 
due to the timing of customer orders. Although contract bottling volume 
increased in 1999, sales decreased due to a reduction of Type A customer 
volume in 1999.

     Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $2.5 million in 1999, an 
increase of 0.6% from net sales of $2.5 million in 1998. The Company's two 
vinegar plants are operating at maximum capacity. The Company intends to 
expand its vinegar production capacity by building or acquiring additional 
facilities.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $6.1 million in 1999, an increase of 
17.0% from gross profit of $5.2 million in 1998. Gross margin increased to 
32.1% in 1999 from 29.5% in 1998. The improvement in gross margin is 
primarily attributable to reduced raw material cost in the Company's domestic 
distilling operations, reduced manufacturing overhead and a favorable change 
in product mix.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses were $3.8 million in 1999, an increase of 15.5% from 
$3.3 million in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 19.7% 
of net sales in 1999 and 18.4% in 1998. The increase in selling, general and 
administrative expenses in 1999, is primarily attributable to increased 
marketing expenses and new employees related to the Company's efforts in 
increasing its distribution network for its premium branded spirits.

     INTEREST INCOME. The Company earns interest on its cash investments and 
notes receivable. The increase in interest income in 1999 is due to higher 
average amounts of notes receivable outstanding compared to 1998.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $.9 million in 1999 and $1.0 
million in 1998. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower levels of 
debt outstanding and lower interest rates during 1999 compared to 1998.

     OTHER, NET. Included in other income is rental income from the Bahamian 
subsidiary.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Company's effective income tax rate was 28.5% in 
1999 and 23.6% in 1998. The low tax rate is attributable to the Virgin 
Islands subsidiary which has a 90% exemption from U.S. federal income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     GENERAL

     The Company's principal use of cash in its operating activities is for 
purchasing raw materials to be used in its manufacturing operations, 
purchasing imported products for its premium branded spirits business and 
carrying inventories and the subsequent receivables. The Company's source of 
liquidity has historically been cash flow from operations and its line of 
credit. Some of the Company's manufacturing operations are seasonal and the 
Company's balance on its line of credit varies during the year. For example, 
the Company uses citrus molasses as its primary raw material in the 
production of citrus brandy and spirits at its two Florida distilleries. The 
Company buys citrus molasses, a by-product of citrus juice production, from 
local manufacturers of citrus juice and concentrate during the citrus 
harvest, which generally runs from November to June. The Company generally 
begins purchasing citrus molasses in November and builds inventory of citrus 
brandy and spirits. The Company must manufacture and build inventory while 
raw materials are available due to the short life of the citrus molasses it 
purchases. Another seasonal business of the Company is its contract bottling 
operations. Demand for contract bottling services is highest during the 
months from April through October. Management believes that cash provided by 
its operating and financing activities will provide adequate resources to 
satisfy its working capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure 
requirements for both its short-term and long-term capital needs.

     OPERATING ACTIVITIES

     Net cash provided by operating activities in 1999 was $2.9 million, 
which resulted from $4.1 million in net income adjusted for noncash items, 
less $1.2 million representing the net change in operating assets and 
operating liabilities during 1999. The net change in operating assets and 
operating liabilities resulted from normal payments of accrued expenses that 
existed as of September 30, 1998.

     INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

     Net cash used in investing activities in 1999 was $.8 million, which 
resulted primarily from $1.0 million of capital expenditures. Payments 
received on notes receivable of $.7 million were offset by new notes issued 
of $.6 million.

     Net cash used in financing activities in 1999 was $.9 million, which 
resulted primarily from the repurchase of the Company's common stock. 
Principal payments on long-term debt of $1.5 million, were offset by a $1.2 
million increase in the Company's line of credit. On September 22, 1998, the 
Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 100,000 
shares of the Company's common stock, either in open market or private 
transactions. As of May 7, 1999, the Company has repurchased 99,200 shares 
for $737,780, or at an average cost of $7.44 per share.

     At September 30, 1998, the Company had an unsecured bank line of credit 
of $15 million, which expires November 1, 2001. The first $4 million of 
borrowings bear interest at 1.5% above the one-month LIBOR rate, borrowings 
in excess of $4 million bear interest at the prime rate. The borrowings under 
this line were $7.6 million at March 31, 1999. Borrowings in excess of $10 
million are subject to a borrowing base related to inventories and 
receivables. The agreement requires the Company to maintain a tangible net 
worth, as defined, a maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge, 
interest coverage and current ratios. In addition, the agreement prohibits 
the payment of cash dividends. The Company was in compliance with these 
covenants at March 31, 1999.

     The Company expects to secure new financing for the $6.8 million payment 
due on October 30, 1999 under the senior notes (see Note 3).

     The Company's total debt was $44.2 million as of March 31, 1999, and its 
ratio of debt to equity was 1.04 to 1.

                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

     With respect to the Bahamian and Virgin Islands subsidiaries, no 
provision has been made for income taxes which would result from the 
remittance of such undistributed earnings as the Company intends to reinvest 
these earnings indefinitely. The Company's share of the undistributed 
earnings of the Bahamian and Virgin Islands subsidiaries was approximately 
$7.5 million and $12 million, respectively, as of September 30, 1998. See 
Note 9 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998, 
for additional information on income taxes related to these subsidiaries.

     Based on current plans and business conditions, management expects that 
its cash and cash equivalents, together with any amounts generated from 
operations and available borrowings, will be sufficient to meet the Company's 
cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

     The Company's results of operations and financial condition have not 
been significantly affected by inflation and changing prices. The Company has 
been able, subject to normal competitive conditions, to pass along rising 
costs through increased selling prices.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk 
exposure from that reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended September 30, 1998.
