</TABLE>

(i) In November 1999, the Company entered into a $71 million credit agreement
which consists of $56 million of term loans and a $15 million revolving credit
facility. The credit agreement is collateralized by 65% of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries. The proceeds
from these loans were used to retire all borrowings under the previous finance
agreements and to finance the Monarch Acquisition (see Note 6). The Company is
required to maintain minimum fixed charge and interest coverage ratios in
addition to other financial covenants.

The Company uses interest rate 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.

On January 14, 2000, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement.
The agreement calls for the Company to exchange monthly, beginning January 31,
2000 through December 31, 2001, interest payment streams calculated on a
notional balance equal to the principal balance of the term loans payable. The
agreement caps the applicable Eurodollar rate at 7.5%.

          spirits, fortified citrus wine, purchased distilled products and
          byproducts)
          Premium Branded Spirits (primarily rum, flavored rum and tequila)

Note 6.  Acquisition of Monarch Wine Company

On November 17, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Monarch Wine Company of Atlanta, Georgia ("Monarch"), a privately held company
(the "Monarch Acquisition"). Monarch specializes in the manufacture of wines,
including custom blended wines and cooking wines for the food industry and base
wines for producers of vinegar and beverage alcohol. The Monarch operations are
included in the Company's bulk alcohol products and vinegar and cooking wine
segments. The purchase price was $23.5 million and includes approximately $22.3
million of goodwill. Goodwill is being amortized over 20 years.

The following pro forma summary presents the consolidated results of operations
as if the acquisition had been made as of October 1, 1998. These results do not
purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition
actually been made as of such date or of results which may occur in the future.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations may contain, among other things, statements 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.

INTRODUCTION

         The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant
factors affecting (i) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the
six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the six months ended March 31, 1999,
(ii) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999 and (iii)
financial liquidity and capital resources for the year ended September 30, 2000
("Fiscal 2000"). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
herein. 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.

         The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry in the
United States. The Company reports its operating results in five segments: Bulk
Alcohol Products (citrus brandy, citrus spirits, rum, cane spirits, fortified
citrus wine, purchased distilled products and byproducts); Premium Branded
Spirits (primarily rum, flavored rum and tequila); Bottling Operations (contract
bottling services and proprietary and private label products); Vinegar and
Cooking Wine (bulk vinegar, bulk cooking wine, vinegar stock and proprietary and
private label case goods); and Corporate Operations and Other (primarily
corporate related items).

         Information regarding net sales, operating income and total assets of
each of the Company's business segments and information regarding geographic
areas is set forth in Note 5 to the Company's consolidated financial statements
located in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q.

         The Company is a leading producer and supplier of brandy, rum, wine and
spirits to other beverage alcohol manufacturers; produces, imports and markets
premium branded spirits; bottles beverage alcohol and other beverages on a
contract basis and under its own labels; and produces vinegar and cooking wine.

         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 bottling operations and vinegar and
cooking wine operations. Within its 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 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

                                       11

<PAGE>

profit margins than others, and changes in the Company's product mix can 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.

         During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999, the Company adopted 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 about products and services, major customers, and
the countries in which the Company has material operations. Accordingly, all
previously reported results have been restated to reflect the retroactive
application of this accounting change as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.

RECENT ACQUISITION

         On November 17, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Monarch. Monarch specializes in the manufacture of wines, including
custom blended wines and cooking wines for the food industry and base wines for
producers of vinegar and beverage alcohol.

         The purchase price was $23.5 million. The Monarch Acquisition should
strengthen the Company's position in the beverage alcohol and food industry by
expanding the Company's customer base and product offerings, and has improved
the Company's plant capacity utilization since the Company has discontinued wine
production at the Monarch facility in Atlanta, Georgia in Fiscal 2000 and
integrated its wine production into the Company's existing facilities. Synergies
have also been realized and are expected to be realized in the future in the
areas of sales, distribution and administrative overhead. The Company completed
the integration of Monarch's wine production during its second quarter ending
March 31, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Net sales of premium branded spirits were $6.8 million in 2000, an increase
of 29.4% from net sales of $5.2 million in 1999. Sales increases reflect the
continued expansion of the Company's distribution network and the success of its
Cruzan Flavored Rums and Porfidio Tequila.

     Net sales in the Company's bottling operations were $8.1 million in 2000, a
decrease of 0.8% from net sales of $8.2 million in 1999. The Company's overall
bottling volume decreased 6.8% in 2000 due to the timing of customer orders.

     Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $10.3 million in 2000, an
increase of 107.1% from net sales of $5.0 million in 1999. The increase in net
sales is primarily attributable to increased sales of cooking wine resulting
from the Monarch Acquisition. 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 $13.8 million in 2000, an increase of 20.2%
from gross profit of $11.5 million in 1999. Gross margin decreased to 31.4% in
2000 from 32.2% in 1999. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable
to a change in product mix.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $8.7 million in 2000, an increase of 19.0% from
$7.3 million in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to (1)
increased marketing expenses and new employees related to the Company's
premium branded spirits business, (2) expenses incurred during the
integration of the Monarch Acquisition, and (3) increased amortization
expense. However, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of net sales, declined to 19.9% in 2000 from 20.7% in 1999.

</TABLE>

     As a result of the above factors, operating income was $5.0 million in
2000, an increase of 22.4% over operating income of $4.1 million in 1999.

     INTEREST INCOME. The Company earns interest on its cash, short-term
investments and notes receivable. The increase in interest income in 2000 is
attributable to higher average amounts of cash, short-term investments and notes
receivable outstanding compared to 1999.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $2.2 million in 2000 and $1.9
million in 1999. The increase in interest expense was due to higher levels of
debt outstanding due to the Monarch Acquisition and higher interest rates during
2000 as compared to 1999.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Company's effective income tax rate was 22.9% in
2000 and 23.9% in 1999. The low tax rate is attributable to the Virgin Islands
subsidiary, which has a 90% exemption from United States federal income taxes
(see Note 4).

         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 borrowings
vary 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 byproduct 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 services. Demand for contract bottling services is highest during the
months from April through October. Management believes that cash provided by
operating activities and its 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 2000 was $3.2 million,
which resulted from $3.8 million in net income adjusted for noncash items, a
$1.2 million extraordinary item and $1.8 million representing the net change in
operating assets and liabilities.

         INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash used in investing activities in 2000 was $31.3 million, which
resulted primarily from $3.1 million of capital expenditures, $23.5 million used
for the Monarch Acquisition and a net increase of $3.9 million in short-term
investments.

         Net cash provided by financing activities in 2000 was $25.7 million,
which resulted from (1) proceeds from term loans and other notes of $56.9
million, (2) an increase of $6.0 million in borrowings under the revolving
credit facility; offset by (3) payments of long-term debt totaling $36.1
million and (4) a $1.2 million prepayment penalty, net of income taxes.

         The Company's revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings
of $15 million. Borrowings under this facility were $6.0 million at March 31,
2000 (see Note 3).

         The Company's total debt was $60.9 million as of March 31, 2000, and
its ratio of debt to equity was 1.2 to 1.

                                       16

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

         No provision has been made for income taxes which would result from the
remittance of undistributed earnings of the Company's Bahamian and Virgin
Islands subsidiaries, 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 $8.2 million and $15.8
million, respectively, as of September 30, 1999. See Note 8 to the Company's
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999, for additional information on
income taxes related to these subsidiaries.

         Based on current plans and business conditions, management expects that
its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         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. It 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. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 as required during Fiscal 2001.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         Through the date of this report the Company has not experienced any
adverse effects on its operations as a result of the Year 2000 issue.


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.
