     renewals and betterments which significantly extend the
     useful lives of existing property and equipment are
     capitalized.

2.   Company Organization and Description:

     facility.  Completion of the processing facility was
     terminated in 1987 due to lack of funds.  See Footnote 13.

     On September 1, 1993, the Company entered into a three-year
     lease for its Pueblo, Colorado facility with an unaffiliated

     Colorado facility in the event the Company sells or
     otherwise disposes of the facility.  The lease provides for
     base rent of $19,473 for the first two years, $20,466 for
     the third year, $22,394 for the first option year and
     $23,264 for the second option year.

     On July 7, 1983, Biosynergy, Inc. (an affiliated company)
     successfully completed a public offering.  As part of this
     public offering the Company exchanged 1,058,181 shares of
     its Common Stock for 2,000,000 shares of Biosynergy, Inc.'s
     Common Stock.  The Common Stock of the Company had no book
     value at the time of the exchange; thus no dollar value was
     assigned to the transaction.  The Company has sold 100,000
     of these shares.  Although Biosynergy, Inc.'s Common Stock
     can be traded in the over-the-counter market, there is no
     established public trading market for such Common Stock due
     to limited and sporadic trades.

     In June, 1993, Fred K. Suzuki, President of the Company,
     advanced $7,587.75 to the Company for payment of the
     Company's share of the costs, including legal fees, of
     settling a lawsuit.  On October 10, 1994, Mr. Suzuki loaned
     $5,000 to the Company for payment of real estate taxes on
     the Company's facility in Pueblo, Colorado.  See Note 7.

5.   Lease Commitments:

     The Company shares offices in Elk Grove Village, Illinois
     with Biosynergy, Inc.  The master lease for these offices,
     which expires January 31, 1996, is in the name of
     Biosynergy, Inc.  The total annual base rent for these
     premises is $62,574.36 for the lease year ending January 31,
     1996.  The Company's portion is $9,386.15.


6.   Notes Payable:  

     Notes Payable - Officer consists of the following:

     .    an unsecured note dated July 1, 1993 in the original
          amount of $7,588 payable to Fred K. Suzuki, President.
          The note is due on demand and bears interest at 10% per
          annum.  The principal balance due at July 31, 1997 is
          $2,588.


7.   Shareholders' Equity:

     The authorized capital stock of Stevia Company is one
     hundred million (100,000,000) shares of no par value Common
     Stock and one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of $100 par
     value Preferred Stock.  The preferences, qualifications,
     limitations, restrictions and special or relative rights in
     respect to the Preferred Stock are to be determined by the
     Board of Directors at the time of their issuance, subject to
     limitations set forth in the amended articles of
     incorporation.  As of April 30, 1997 and July 31, 1997, no
     shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding.

     On November 1, 1989, the Company's Secretary, Lauane C.
     Addis, and President, Fred K. Suzuki, agreed to forego their
     salaries in exchange for an option to purchase 83,333 shares
     of the Company's no par value common stock for each month
     they forfeited their salary at an option price of $.025 per
     share.  Accrual of these options was terminated effective

                        STEVIA COMPANY, INC.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.   (Continued)

     April 30, 1991.  These options may be exercised until one
     year after the respective optionee receives all deferred
     compensation due at October 31, 1989, the optionee's salary
     is reinstated, or the optionee is no longer employed by the
     Company, whichever is later.  As of July 31, 1997, none of
     these options have been exercised and a total of 2,999,988
     shares are subject to the options.  These options provide
     for adjustments to prevent dilution in the event of capital
     reorganizations.

     Mr. Suzuki was granted an option to convert all or a portion
     of his deferred compensation into shares of the Company's no
     par value common stock at a conversion rate of $.025 of
     deferred compensation per share.  Conversion can only occur
     in the event the Company has sufficient liquid assets to pay
     all employee taxes due upon issuance of the shares.  A total
     of 1,448,917 shares have been reserved for Mr. Suzuki's
     option.  No portion of the option has been exercised as of
     July 31, 1997.  The option provides for adjustments to
     prevent dilution in the event of capital reorganizations.

8.   Income (Loss) per share:

     Net income (loss) per share is computed based on the
     weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
     outstanding during the period, after giving effect to stock
     splits.  The effect of exercise of stock options has not
     been presented as exercise would be anti-dilutive.

9.  Agreements, Licenses and Options:

     The Company entered into an irrevocable exclusive license
     agreement with F.K. Suzuki International, Inc., parent of
     the Company, in 1983.  For an annual fee of $75,000, payable
     beginning in January of 1987, the Company received certain
     patent and other rights owned by F.K. Suzuki International,
     Inc.  Effective May 1, 1988, the license agreement was
     amended to provide for a royalty payment of 3% of revenues
     derived from the licensed technology in lieu of a set fee.
     There was no fee incurred during the three month period
     ending July 31, 1997.

10.  Income Taxes:

     There is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying
     financial statements due to the Company's net operating loss
     position.  At April 30, 1997, net operating loss
     carryforwards are available and expire, if not used, as
     follows:

                                             ----------

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" 
     Due to the historical and continued net operating losses of the company,
     Statement 109 has no material effect, if any, on the Company's Financial
     Statements.  The Company has elected not to retroactively adopt the
     provisions allowed in SFAS NO. 109; however, all provisions of the
     document have been applied since the beginning of fiscal year 1994.

11.  Management's Plans:

     In view of the fact that the Company has incurred losses of
     $37,407, $33,519 and $55,831 for the years ended April 30,
     1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, management of the
     Company recognizes the ability of the Company is contingent upon th
     Company obtaining financing so it can commence operations or acquire
     alternative operations. Before the Company can realize material
     operating revenues from its proposed operations, the Company must equip
     and commence operations of a processing facility.  The cost of
     equipping a processing facility is significant, and therefore the
     Company's main objective has been to obtain such financing.  Although
     the Company will continue to seek financing for its proposed operations,
     the Company will also pursue  alternatives, such as licensing its
     technology, selling Stevia Company or its assets, or combining Stevia 

                           STEVIA COMPANY, INC.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.  (Continued)

     Company with another enterprise.  Although no agreements have been
     entered into for consummating any such transaction, management of the
     Company believes such a transaction may be forthcoming.

12.  Unaudited Financial Statements:

     The Company's Financial Statements for the fiscal year
     ending April 30, 1997 were not audited pursuant to Rule
     210.3-11 of Regulation SX promulgated under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, which provides that an inactive entity
     need not submit audited financial statements with reports
     filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  An
     inactive entity is defined as an entity not having gross
     receipts from all sources and expenditures for all purposes
     in excess of $100,000 each, which has not purchased or sold
     any of its own stock, granted options therefore, or levied
     any assessments against outstanding stock during the
     applicable fiscal year, which has had no material change in
     business, including any material acquisitions or
     dispositions of assets, and which is not required to publish
     audited financial statements by any exchange or governmental
     authority having jurisdiction.  In the opinion of
     Management, the Company met the criteria of an inactive
     entity for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1997.


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

SALES/REVENUES

     The Company had no sales during the quarter ending July 31, 1997 ("1st
Quarter").  The Company did not produce rebaudioside A or other products on
a commercial basis during the 1st Quarter, and was not expected to have
sales.  After commencement of commercial operations, Management continues
to believe that a market for its Stevia products could be developed.

     During the quarter ending July 31, 1997, the Company realized rental
income of $6.449 from leasing its Pueblo, Colorado facility as a result of
a three-year lease to an unaffiliated third party.  This lease grants the
tenant first right of refusal upon the sale of other disposition of the
Pueblo facility and provides for two one-year options.  The lease provides
for rent of $19,743 for the first two years, $20,466 for the third year,
$22,394 for the first option year and $23,264 for the second option year.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     The overall operating expenses of the Company decreased by $200 during
the 1st Quarter as compared to the same quarter ending in 1996.  Most of
the current expenses are overhead and general and administration items
required to maintain the Company.  It is not anticipated that the expenses
of the Company will materially change until the Company receives financing
or commences alternative operations.

NET LOSS

     The Company realized a net loss of $7,119 in the 1st Quarter as
compared to a net loss of $7,814 in the comparative quarter in 1996.  The
Company's continuing losses are due to the lack of operating revenues,
which will continue until such time as the Company produces its sweeteners
and other products for sale or can obtain alternative revenues.  See
"LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" below.

      As of April 30, 1997, the Company has incurred net operating losses
aggregating $3,064,297.  There is no provision for income taxes in the
Financial Statements due to the Company's net operating loss position.
Furthermore, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 will not materially alter the
Company's net operating loss carryforward position, and the net operating
loss carryforwards will be available and expire, if not used, as set forth
in Footnote 12 to the Financial Statements for the 1st Quarter.  See
"FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."

ASSETS/LIABILITY RATIO

     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities (.07 to 1) is not
acceptable taking into consideration the Company's cash flow position.  The
Company's current assets consist primarily of inventory.  It is unknown how
much inventory the Company can sell, if any.  The Company is not producing
inventory and there can be no assurance of long-term revenues, if any.  The
inventory consists primarily of Stevia leaves, which have been grown and
harvested by the Company for use in its initial processing operations or
for sale, and seeds which can be used for growing more leaves.  See
"LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" below.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's net working capital decreased by $2,894 during the 1st
Quarter.  The Company's negative net working capital is due to the
continuing losses of the Company.  The Company had $821 in cash and $9,048 in
receivables at July 31, 1997.  Management of the Company believes this
amount is insufficient to provide working capital for the ensuing quarter.
The Company does not have, nor does it anticipate obtaining in the near
future, a working line of credit.

     The Company's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its future
needs depends upon its ability to obtain financing for the purpose of
beginning revenue producing operations.  In the event the Company is unable
to obtain financing, management will seek out alternatives, such as
licensing the Company's technology, selling the Company or its assets,
leasing the Company's Pueblo facility, or combining the Company with other
businesses.

     The Company and an affiliate, Biosynergy, Inc. ("BSI"), share office
space, and as a result, share certain expenses.  Both companies account to
each other on an on-going basis for these shared expenses.  The resulting
payable as of April 30, 1997 was $278,874 and $288,579 as of July 31, 1997.
The amounts due to BSI reflect on-going transactions in the ordinary course
of business and do not represent any extraordinary transactions.  Expenses
include rent, salary for common employees and related benefits, payroll
overhead, utilities, and certain legal expenses.  Management of the Company
believes it is more economical to share these expenses with BSI, and will
likely continue to do so in the near future.  However, there is no
assurance BSI will be in a position or agree to continue to extend credit
to the Company for these shared expenses.

     On September 1, 1993, the Company entered into a three-year lease for
its Pueblo, Colorado facility with an unaffiliated third party.  The tenant
was granted two one-year options and a first right of refusal to purchase
the Pueblo, Colorado facility in the event the Company sells or otherwise
disposes of the facility.  The lease provides for base rent of $19,473 for
the first two years, $20,466 for the third year, $22,394 for the first
option year and $23,264 for the second option year.  See "SALES/REVENUES"
above.  The proceeds from leasing such facility are used to offset expenses
of the facility and to cover a portion of the general and administrative
expenses of the Company.  However, the cash flow from leasing the facility
in Pueblo is not expected to be sufficient to cover all of the expenses of
the Company for the ensuing year, and furthermore, there can be no
assurance the Company will be able to continue leasing its facility.  In this
regard, the lesee of the facility has exercised its option to extend the
lease for the final option year.  However, the lessee is in default in the
payment of rent and other charges under the lease, and there can be no
assurance such defaults will be cured and the lease continued.

     The Company owns 1,900,000 shares of BSI common stock.  Such common
stock can be traded in the over-the-counter market and stock prices are
recorded on "pink sheets."  The bid price at July 31, 1997 was estimated to
be $.01 per share.  Although the Company is free to currently sell these
shares of Biosynergy, Inc. common stock, it does not have plans to do so in
the near future.  See Footnote 5 of the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."
