Outstanding borrowings under the credit line are secured by substantially all of
the assets of the Company.

      SUBORDINATED DEBT

      On October 17, 1996, the Company consummated a financing which provided
for the issuance of (i) $1,500,000 principal amount of 9% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due October 17, 1998 (the "Notes"), (ii) Class A Stock
Purchase Warrants ("Class A Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 450,000

      The Notes are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the
Company and are convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the
Company, at any time on or prior to October 16, 1997, at a conversion price
equal to the market price at that time. From October 17, 1997 to maturity, the
Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holders,
at a conversion price equal to the greater of the market price at that time or
the floor price ($1.50, subject to adjustments under certain circumstances).

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
        Operation

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 1995:

      Net sales increased by $1,063,000 or 26% to $5,139,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $4,076,000 during last year's comparable
period. This increase was due principally to the addition of net sales arising
out of the December 1995 acquisition of Seafla, Inc. ("Seafla").

      Gross profit increased by $401,000 or 26% to $1,966,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996 from gross profit of $1,565,000 reported
in the prior period. This increase was due primarily to the increase in net
sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was relatively the same for both
periods.

      Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased
by 57% from $1,489,000 to $2,342,000. This increase was attributable to costs of
$615,000 associated with Seafla's operations, and increases in TFF's selling and
general and administrative expenses of $238,000 due to the hiring of key sales,
management and administrative personnel and additional professional and
consulting fees. As a result, operating expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased by 9.0% for the quarter.

      Interest expense increased for the period ended September 30, 1996 by
$96,000 as a result of the Seafla acquisition financing.

      Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $495,000, or
$.04 per share, compared to net income of $55,000 or $.005 per share during last
year's comparable quarter.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995:

      Net sales increased by $4,069,000 or 34.0% to $16,029,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $11,960,000 during the comparable period in
1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the addition of net sales
arising out of the acquisition of Seafla and, to a lesser extent, an increase in
sales at the Company's Canadian subsidiary.

      Gross profit increased by $1,499,000 or 31.4% to $6,275,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from gross profit of $4,776,000 during the
comparable period in 1995. This increase was due primarily to the increase in
net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was relatively the same for
both periods.

      Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased
by 39% from $4,521,000 to $6,302,000. Costs relating to the Seafla operations
accounted for $1,365,000 of the increase, and amortization of goodwill relating
to the acquisition and increases in selling and general and administrative
expenses attributable to the build-up in the Company's sales force and the
hiring of additional key sales, management and administrative personnel
accounted principally for the remainder of the increase. Operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased approximately 1.5% due to increased net sales
partially offset by increases in expenditures described above.

      Interest expense increased by $339,000 for the 1996 nine-month period as a
result of the Seafla acquisition financing.

      Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $426,000, or
$.04 per share, compared to net income of $199,000, or $.02 per share, during
the comparable period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company generated
negative cash flow from operations of $520,000 primarily as a result of the net
loss of $426,000 for the period. The Company expended approximately $95,000 for
capital expenditures. Cash requirements during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 for operating activities and capital expenditures were met primarily
through borrowings from the Company's revolving credit line and a reduction in
the Company's cash on hand. At September 30, 1996, the Company's working capital
was $3,135,000, an increase of $158,000 from working capital at December 31,
1995.

      On December 6, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and assumed the trade obligations and certain other liabilities of Seafla, a
producer of dairy and savory flavors. In consideration therefor, the Company
paid Seafla $3,000,000 in cash and issued a promissory note in the original
principal amount of $1,000,000, which principal amount was reduced to $888,019
through an adjustment to the purchase price. Of such principal amount of
$888,019, $177,604 is payable commencing on January 1, 1997 and on each January
1 thereafter through 2001. Outstanding amounts under the promissory note bear
interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Company funded the cash portion of the
Seafla purchase price through a term loan in the amount of $3,500,000, with
interest payable monthly at one and one-half percent above the bank's prime
rate. The term loan expires in 1998.

      Historically, the Company's financing needs have been met through the
issuances of equity and debt securities. The Company's principal line of credit
was a one year revolving note, which the Company has extended from year to year
to June 1, 1997. Through June 3, 1996, borrowings under the revolving line of
credit bore interest at the rate of one-half percent above the bank's prime
rate. As of September 30, 1996, borrowings under the revolving line of credit
bore interest at the rate of one-percent above the bank's prime rate.

      On October 17, 1996, the Company consolidated its existing $3.5 million
term loan and its $2.0 million revolving line of credit into a $5.5 million
revolving credit line. Borrowings under this credit line bear interest at one
and one-quarter percent above the bank's prime rate and mature on January 15,
1999. The borrowings are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of
the Company. As of November 19, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings
under the credit line of approximately $4,050,000 and availability was
approximately $1.0 million.

      On October 17, 1996, the Company also consummated a financing which
provided for the issuance of $1,500,000 principal amount of 9% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due October 17, 1998 (the "Notes"), and the issuance of Class
A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.40
per share, and Class B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 156,250 shares of
Common Stock at $2.70 per share. The Notes are secured by a lien on
substantially all of the assets of the Company.

      The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the
Company at any time on or prior to October 16, 1997, at a conversion price equal
to the market price at that time. From October 17, 1997 to maturity, the Notes
are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holders at a
conversion price equal to the greater of the market price at that time or the
floor price of $1.50 per share (subject to adjustments under certain
circumstances).

      In connection with the financing, the Company granted the purchasers
certain registration rights relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants. The
purchasers cannot require the Company to register such shares prior to October
18, 1997 or such earlier date upon which the Company converts the Notes into
shares of Common Stock.
