</TABLE>

(i) During November 1999, the Company entered into a $71 million credit
agreement which consists of $56 million of term loans and a $15 million
revolving loan 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 prepay 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%.

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 anticipated
revenue growth, expenditure levels and plans for development. These
forward-looking statements 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 those contemplated by 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 fluctuations 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
nine months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
(ii) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999 and (iii)
financial liquidity and capital resources. 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
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
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 profit
margins than others, and changes in the Company's product mix can cause gross
margins to fluctuate. Certain


                                       12
<PAGE>

aspects of the Company's business are 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 has
strengthened 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 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 ended March 31, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $27.1 million in 2000, an
increase of 4.5% from net sales of $26.0 million in 1999. The increase
resulted primarily from (i) an increase in sales due to the timing of
customer orders, and (ii) increased sales of bulk alcohol resulting from the
Monarch Acquisition. Unit sales of citrus spirits decreased 30.8% and unit
sales of fortified citrus wine increased 42.3% in 2000 compared to 1999.
These changes resulted from the Monarch Acquisition. Monarch was a major
purchaser of the Company's citrus spirits for use in producing fortified
citrus wine.

     Net sales of premium branded spirits were $11.3 million in 2000, an
increase of 33.7% from net sales of $8.4 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 brands.

     Net sales of the Company's bottling operations were $12.3 million in 2000,
a decrease of 8.5% from net sales of $13.5 million in 1999. The unit volume of
the Company's bottling operations decreased 2.9% in 2000 due to the timing of
customer orders.

     Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $15.2 million in 2000, an
increase of 90.4% from net sales of $8.0 million in 1999. The increase in net
sales was 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 has recently expanded and intends to continue
expanding its vinegar production capacity by building or acquiring additional
facilities; the cost of currently planned future expansion is not expected to be
material.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $21.8 million in 2000, an increase of 22.2%
from gross profit of $17.8 million in 1999. Gross margin increased to 32.2% in
2000 from 31.0% in 1999. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable
to a change in product mix as a result of the Monarch Acquisition.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $13.7 million in 2000, an increase of 21.1% from
$11.3 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.

     OPERATING INCOME. The following table sets forth the operating income
(loss) by operating segment of the Company for 2000 and 1999.

     As a result of the above factors, operating income was $8.1 million in
2000, an increase of 24.0% over operating income of $6.5 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 was
attributable to higher average amounts of cash, short-term investments and notes
receivable outstanding compared to 1999.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $3.6 million in 2000 and $2.8
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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Company's effective income tax rate was 24.4% in
2000 and 25.7% 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).

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999.
Unless otherwise noted, references to 2000 represent the three-month period
ended June 30, 2000 and references to 1999 represent the three-month period
ended June 30, 1999.

     NET SALES. Net sales were $23.7 million in 2000, an increase of 8.5% from
net sales of $21.9 million in 1999.

     Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $9.7 million in 2000, a decrease
of 2.7% from net sales of $9.9 million in 1999. The decrease resulted
primarily from (i) the timing of customer orders, and (ii) a decrease in
sales of purchased distilled products. The decrease in sales of bulk alcohol
products was partially offset by increased sales of bulk alcohol resulting
from the Monarch Acquisition. Unit sales of citrus spirits decreased 55.7%
and unit sales of fortified citrus wine increased 48.7% in 2000 compared to
1999. These changes resulted from the Monarch Acquisition. Monarch was a
major purchaser of the Company's citrus spirits for use in producing
fortified citrus wine.

     Net sales of premium branded spirits were $4.5 million in 2000, an increase
of 40.8% from net sales of $3.2 million in 1999. Sales increases reflected the
continued expansion of the Company's distribution network and the success of its
Cruzan Flavored Rums and Porfidio Tequila brands.

     Net sales of the Company's bottling operations were $4.2 million in 2000, a
decrease of 20.3% from net sales of $5.3 million in 1999. The unit volume of the
Company's bottling operations increased 1.9% in 2000 due to the timing of
customer orders.

     Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $4.8 million in 2000, an
increase of 62.2% from net sales of $3.0 million in 1999. The increase in net
sales was 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 has recently expanded and intends to continue
expanding its vinegar production capacity by building or acquiring additional
facilities; the cost of currently planned future expansion is not expected to be
material.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $8.0 million in 2000, an increase of 25.7%
from gross profit of $6.3 million in 1999. Gross margin increased to 33.6% in
2000 from 29.0% in 1999. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable
to a change in product mix as a result of the Monarch Acquisition.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4.9 million in 2000, an increase of 25.1% from
$3.9 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) additional expenses incurred during the integration of the
Monarch Acquisition, and (3) increased amortization expense.

     OPERATING INCOME. The following table sets forth the operating income
(loss) by operating segment of the Company for 2000 and 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         As a result of the above factors, operating income was $3.0 million in
2000, an increase of 26.8% over operating income of $2.4 million in 1999. The
Company's bottling operations segment reported an operating loss of
approximately $132,000 in 2000 and operating income of approximately $790,000 in
1999. The operating income in 1999 was due to nonrecurring sales of tequila
products.

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

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $1.4 million in 2000 and $.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 27.2% in
2000 and 29.0% in 1999. The low tax rate was attributable to the Virgin Islands
subsidiary, which has a 90% exemption from United States federal income taxes
(see Note 4).

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         GENERAL

         The Company's principal use of cash in its operating activities is to
purchase raw materials for its manufacturing operations, purchase imported
products for its premium branded spirits business and carry inventories and
receivables. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have historically been
cash flow from operations and borrowings. 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 $3.6 million,
which resulted from $6.6 million in net income adjusted for noncash items, a
$1.2 million extraordinary item, and $4.2 million representing the net change in
operating assets and liabilities.

         INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash used in investing activities in 2000 was $31.6 million, which
resulted primarily from $3.8 million of capital expenditures, $23.5 million used
for the Monarch Acquisition and a net increase of $3.9 million in short-term
investments. During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company converted a
$1,000,000 loan to Premier Wines & Spirits, Ltd. ("Premier"), a 45% owned
subsidiary, into a capital contribution in order to improve Premier's capital
structure.

         The Company's capital expenditures were $3.8 million in 2000 and $1.6
million in 1999. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily attributable
to (1) improving the Company's wine production capabilities and (2) expanding
vinegar production capacity.


                                       17
<PAGE>

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

         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 and (2) an increase of $8.0 million in borrowings under the revolving
credit facility, offset by (3) payments of long-term debt totaling $38.1 million
and (4) a $1.2 million penalty, net of income taxes, on the prepayment in
November 1999 of borrowings under the Company's prior debt facility.

         The Company's present revolving credit facility provides for maximum
borrowings of $15 million. Borrowings under this facility were $8.0 million at
June 30, 2000 (see Note 3).

         The Company's total debt was $60.8 million as of June 30, 2000, and its
ratio of debt to equity was 1.1 to 1.

         No provision has been made for income taxes that 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 shares of the undistributed earnings of the Bahamian
and Virgin Islands subsidiaries were 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.

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.
