                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working Capital was $11.6 million at June 1, 1999  and $12.7 million at
the end of the second quarter.  Net cash provided by operating activities
amounted to $2.5 million for the six  months this year compared to $2.2
million for last year's first six months.

     Additions to property, plant and equipment, net of disposals, were $0.28
million this year and $0.92 million last year. Cash dividends of $1.46 million
were paid during this year's first six months compared to $2.93 million last
year. Cash in the amount of $0.0036 million was used to purchase treasury
stock this year, and $0.27 was used last year, and $0.38 million of cash was
used to increase investment securities this year, and $1.97 million of cash
was provided by a net decrease in investment securities last year.
The Company's current ratio was 2.69 to 1.00 at November 30, 1999.

Operating Results

     For the three months ended November 30, 1999, total revenues decreased
0.49% from the comparable period in fiscal 1999. Cost of sales was 45.1% of
net sales compared to 46.7% last year. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were 52.4% of net sales this year and 53.2% last year.

     For the year-to-date total revenues decreased 0.21% from the comparable
period in fiscal 1999. Cost of sales was 45.6% of net sales compared to
46.9% last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 51.9%
of net sales this year and 51.8% last year.

     The Company's second quarter investment income as a percentage of
pre-tax income was 0.8% this year compared to 15.0% last year. There was
an actual dollar decrease in investment income of 69.7% and pre-tax
income increased 45.09%.

     For the six months investment income was 0.9% of pre-tax income this
year and 5.8% last year. For the six months investment income dollar
decreased 74.3% and pre-tax income increased 64.0%.

     The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter was 36.9%
compared to 31.7% for last year's second quarter and 37.0% for the six
months this year and 34.2% last year.

Market Risk

     The principal market risks  (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are
interest rates on its investment securities, and commodity prices, affecting
the cost of its raw materials.

     The Company's investment securities consist of short-term marketable
securities. Presently these are variable rate money market mutual funds.
Assuming November 30, 1999 variable rate investment levels, a one-point
change in interest rates would impact interest income by $4,467 on
an annual basis.

     The Company is subject to market risk with respect to commodities
because its ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing
may be limited by the competitive environment in which it operates.
The Company purchases its raw materials on the open market, under contract
through brokers and directly from growers. Future contracts have been
used occasionally to hedge immaterial amounts of commodity purchases
but none are presently being used.

Year 2000 Compliance

     All necessary modifications for Year 2000 compliance were completed
by the target date of May 31, 1999.  All information technology systems
and non-IT systems are compliant.

     Internal staff was used primarily for the conversion, and the cost
of the project is estimated to be approximately $60,000 and was expensed
as incurred.

     Contingency plans for Year 2000 related interruptions were
developed and include, but are not limited to replacing electronic
applications with manual processes, identification of alternate suppliers
and increasing raw material and finished goods inventory levels.

     The most likely worse case scenarios for the Company would have been
the temporary inability of suppliers to provide raw materials on a
timely basis and of some customers to order and pay on a timely basis.

     The Company is well in the Year 2000 on the filing date of this
report and there have been no Year 2000 Compliance problems.
