NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) A. Unaudited Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Inventories Processed Unprocessed Total (In thousands) March 31, 1995 Coffee $ 3,139 $10,905 $14,044 Allied products 10,143 4,625 14,768 Coffee brewing equipment 1,792 5,874 7,666 $15,074 $21,404 $36,478 June 30, 1994 Coffee $ 3,182 $10,829 $14,011 Allied products 10,395 3,022 13,417 Coffee brewing equipment 1,712 5,770 7,482 $15,289 $19,621 $34,910 C. Accounting Policy Change The Company adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt & Equity Securities" for such securities held as of or acquired after July 1, 1994. In accordance with SFAS 115, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Currently, a portion of the Company's investments have been classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. The balance of the Company's investments are currently classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific identification method. Investments are reported at fair value. Investments designated trading securities are carried as current assets. Available-for-sale investments are carried as current or non-current assets as appropriate. The Company has not identified any held-to-maturity investments at this time. Dividend and interest income are accrued as earned. Registrant has reported the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle relating to trading securities in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as an expense of $593,000, net of taxes. During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the market value of the Company's trading securities C. Accounting Policy Change (CONTINUED) increased $1,731,000, and for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 reflects net unrealizable gain of $589,000, and is included in Other income (expense). The Company has reported the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle relating to available for sale securities in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as a reduction in shareholders' equity of $546,000, net of taxes. During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the fair value of the Company's available for sale securities increased resulting in an increase in shareholders equity of $654,000, and an increase for the fiscal year of $197,000. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities included in shareholders' equity at March 31, 1995, were fixed income government securities maturing after one through five years with a cost of $26,709,000, a fair value of $26,035,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of($674,000) and fixed income government backed securities with a maturity after five through ten years with a cost of $3,203,000, a fair value of $3,155,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of ($48,000). Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analyze of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Registrant's operations in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 continue to reflect the high prices of green coffee. Green coffee costs for the nine months exceed those of the prior year by more than 140%. Higher sales prices of roast coffee have passed along most cost increases, but higher prices result in lower volume and gross profit margins have not been as strong as in prior years. Gross profit and operating expenses compare favorably with the same periods of the prior fiscal year. Registrant cautions that the green coffee market becomes even more volatile as we approach the traditional Brazilian frost season, and is unable to predict either the direction of green coffee costs or whether current profit margins can be maintained in this critical raw material. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 22% to $59,514,000 as compared to $48,628,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 increased 21% to $176,294,000 from $145,190,000 in the same period of fiscal 1994. Gross profit in the third quarter was $26,818,000 or 45% of sales, as compared to $30,084,000 or 48% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and $26,811,000, or 55% of sales, in the same quarter of fiscal 1994. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 increased 3% to $82,811,000 from $80,443,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Operating expenses reached $22,370,00 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995, as compared to $22,132,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1994. Operating expenses for the first three fiscal quarters increased 2% to $65,826,000 in 1995 as compared to $64,629,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Income after taxes and before effect of accounting change for the three months ended March 31, 1995, reached $4,022,000, or $2.09 per share, as compared to $5,374,000, or $2.79 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, (CONTINUED) 1995, and $3,932,000 or $2.04 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Net income for the first half of fiscal 1995 has been reduced as a result of adopting the provisions of SFAS 115 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The cumulative effect of its adoption, net of tax, was $(593,000) or $(.031) per share. Income after taxes and before the effect of accounting change for the six months ended December 31, 1994, reached $12,191,000, or $6.33 per share, as compared to $12,493,000, or $6.49 per share, in the first nine months of fiscal 1994.
