                              (UNAUDITED)
               --------------------------------------------

statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB

                                       =========     ==========     =========

For the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, sales of
frozen strawberry products totaled $225,155 and $242,682, respectively.
Sales of frozen strawberry products for the year ended December 31,
2007 totaled $337,111.

The Company does not account for intersegment transfers as if the
transfers were to third parties.

The Company does not prepare operating profit or loss information on a
segment basis for internal use, until the end of each year.  Due to the
seasonal nature of the fruit segment management believes that it is not
practical to prepare this information for interim reporting purposes.
Therefore, reporting is not required by generally accepted accounting
principles.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of
historical fact should be considered "forward-looking statements" for
the purpose of these provisions, including statements that include
projections of, or expectations about, earnings, revenues or other
financial items, statements about our plans and objectives for future
operations, statements concerning proposed new products or services,
statements regarding future economic conditions or performance,
statements concerning our expectations regarding the attraction and
retention of customers, statements about market risk and statements
underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of such terminology as "may",
"will", "expects", "potential", or "continue", or the negative thereof
or other similar words. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give
no assurance that such expectations or any of our forward-looking
statements will prove to be correct. Actual results and developments are
likely to be different from, and may be materially different from, those
expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.


Overview
--------

Paradise, Inc.'s main business segment, glace' fruit, a prime ingredient
of fruitcakes and other holiday confections, represented 70.5% of total
net sales during 2007.  These products are sold to manufacturing bakers,
institutional users, supermarkets and other retailers throughout the
country.  Consumer demand for glace' fruit product is traditionally
strongest during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  Almost 80% of
glace' fruit product sales are recorded from the eight to ten weeks
beginning in mid September.

Since the majority of the Company's customers require delivery of
glace' candied fruit products during this relatively short period of
time, Paradise must operate at consistent levels of production from as
early as January through the middle of November of each year in order to
meet peak demands.  Furthermore, the Company must make substantial
borrowings of short-term working capital to cover the cost of raw
materials, factory overhead and labor expense associated with production
for inventory.  This combination of building and financing inventories
during the year, without the opportunity to record any significant fruit
product income, results in the generation of operating losses well into
the third quarter of each year.  Therefore, it is the opinion of
management that meaningful forecasts of annual net sales or profit
levels require analysis of a full year's operations.




10
In addition, comparison of current quarterly results to the preceding
quarter produces an incomplete picture on the Company's performance due
to year-to-year changes in production schedules, seasonal harvests and
availability of raw materials, and in the timing of customer orders and
shipments.  Thus, the discussion of information presented within this
report is focused on the review of the Company's current year-to-date
results as compared to the similar period last year.

Paradise's other business segment, Paradise Plastics, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Paradise, Inc., produces custom molding products
that is not subject to the seasonality of the glace' fruit business.
This segment represents all injection molding and thermoforming
operations, including the packaging for the Company's fruit products.
Only sales to unaffiliated customers are reported.

The First Quarter
-----------------

Paradise, Inc.'s fruit segment net sales increased 4.1% for the first
quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, as this segment
received an increase in customer orders for various bulk and retail
products. Included in this amount were sales of finished strawberry
products produced exclusively for a Plant City, Florida distributor. For
the past several years, Paradise, Inc. has entered into an agreement to
process fresh strawberries, delivered to the Company's facility, into
finished strawberry products on behalf of this distributor.  Paradise,
Inc. generated net sales of finished strawberry items of $225,155 for
the first quarter of 2008 compared to $242,681 for the similar reporting
period of 2007.

Paradise Plastics, Inc.'s net sales to unaffiliated customers, during
the first quarter of 2008 remained consistent with the prior year's
reporting period.  Plastics segment net sales for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 was $2,082,860 compared to $2,083,843 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007.  This segment, which has experienced rapid
net sales growth of more than 80% from a period of five years from 2002-
2006, produces injection molding and thermoforming products for a
diverse customer based. This diversity of providing high-tech custom-
molding plastics for customers in a wide range of industries has helped
to offset the slow down in the processing of customer re-orders related
to the decline in the housing market.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased 10.5% for the first
quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year's reporting period.  This
percentage decrease is primarily related to the additional overhead
allocated to inventory because of the receipt of approximately 1,200,000
Lbs. of raw fruit peels, a basic fruitcake ingredient, during the first
quarter of 2008, from the Company's supplier. This raw fruit material
was processed through Paradise, Inc.'s brining operations producing
$395,000 in fruit peel inventory for the first quarter of 2008, compared
to 450,000 Lbs. received which produced $75,000 in peel inventory for
the similar reporting period of 2007.

Selling, general & administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2008
decreased $76,722 or 8.6% compared to the previous year's reporting
period. This decrease is partially due to the reduction in travel
related expenses of the Company's corporate personnel. Further
reductions were achieved in professional and legal fees associated with


11

the termination of the Company's defined benefit pension plan. Please
refer to Note 4 for additional disclosure related to the status of the
pension plan termination.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $30,146 or 13.3% for
the first quarter of 2008 compared to the similar reporting period of
2007. This decrease is linked to the following two factors; first,
amortization expense related to a covenant not to compete agreement with
the former owner of Mastercraft Products Corporation expired as of April
2007. The amount of the non-compete agreement totaled $123,000 or $3,416
per month and was amortized over a 36 month period. Secondly, fixed
assets retirements for the current reporting period exceeded assets
placed into service.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2008 decreased $14,738 or 55%
compared to the prior year's reporting period as the Company's
borrowings continue to decrease compared to the previous reporting
period of 2007.


Summary
-------

Fruit segment net sales for the first quarter of 2008 increased 4.1%
compared to the similar reporting period of 2007 as increased customer
demand for the sale of various glace' fruit products offset a slight
decrease in strawberry net sales during this reporting period.
Plastics segment sales for the current quarter remained consistent with
the prior reporting period despite the continuing slow down in the
housing market.

When compared with the first quarter of 2007, cost of sales decreased by
12.5%.  This decrease is due to the additional overhead allocation to
inventory resulting from the purchase of 1.2 million lbs. of raw fruit
peels.  This increased availability of raw fruit peels allowed the
Company to produce an additional $318,665 in fruit inventory.  The
increase in inventory value combined with reductions in SG&A and
depreciation/amortization expenses reported above resulted in a net loss
from operations of $68,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared to a net loss from operations of $479,224 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007.

Finally, with more than 90% of anticipated net sales and production cost
yet to be realized or incurred for 2008 no reasonable sales forecast or
profit projection should be obtained from this information. Only after a
full year's accounting will any meaningful data as to the Company's
profitability be available.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE AND MARKET RISK - N/A
----------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
-----------------------------------

   As of March 31, 2008, our President and Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures, and they concluded that we maintain effective disclosure
controls and procedures.  There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

   Disclosure controls and procedures mean the methods designed to
ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in the
reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
required.  Our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all
information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to
our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  Our
controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable
assurance of the reliability of our financial reporting and accurate
recording of our financial transactions.

   A control system, however well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's
objectives will be met.  There are inherent limitations in all control
systems, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control gaps or instances of fraud have been detected.  These
inherent limitations include the realities that the judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that simple errors or mistakes can
occur.
