ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations may contain, among other things, statements regarding anticipated
revenue growth, expenditure levels and plans for development. These
forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The
following is a list of the principal factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements:
business conditions and growth in certain market segments and industries and the
general economy; competitive factors, including increased competition and price
pressures; availability of third party component products at reasonable prices;
excise taxes; foreign currency exposure; changes in product mix; lower than
expected customer orders and quarterly seasonal fluctuations of those orders;
and product shipment interruptions. See "Risk Factors" in previous filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant
factors affecting (i) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the
six months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2000,
(ii) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000 and (iii)
financial liquidity and capital resources. This discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included herein. Certain amounts presented in this Item 2 have
been rounded to the nearest thousand or hundred thousand, as applicable, but the
percentages calculated are based on actual amounts without rounding.
The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry in the
United States. The Company is a leading producer and supplier of brandy, rum,
wine and spirits to other beverage alcohol manufacturers; produces, imports and
markets premium branded spirits; bottles beverage alcohol and other beverages on
a contract basis and under its own labels; and produces vinegar and cooking
wine. The Company reports its operating results in five segments: Bulk Alcohol
Products (citrus brandy, citrus spirits, rum, cane spirits, fortified citrus
wine, purchased distilled products and byproducts); Premium Branded Spirits
(primarily rum, flavored rum and tequila); Bottling Operations (contract
bottling services and proprietary and private label products); Vinegar and
Cooking Wine (bulk vinegar, bulk cooking wine, vinegar stock and proprietary and
private label case goods); and Corporate Operations and Other (primarily
corporate related items).
Information regarding the net sales, operating income and total assets
of each of the Company's business segments and information regarding geographic
areas is set forth in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's net sales and gross margins (gross profit as a percentage
of net sales) vary depending on the mix of business among the Company's
products. Historically, gross margins have been highest in bulk alcohol products
and premium branded spirits and lower in bottling operations and vinegar and
cooking wine operations.
The Company has a limited number of customers, and these customers
often purchase bulk alcohol products in significant quantities or place
significant orders for contract bottling services, distilled spirits, vinegar
and cooking wine. Accordingly, the size and timing of purchase orders and
product shipments can cause operating results to fluctuate significantly from
quarter to quarter. Additionally, some Company products generate higher profit
margins than others, and changes in the Company's product mix can cause gross
margins to fluctuate. Certain aspects of the Company's business are seasonal,
with increased demand for the Company's contract bottling services from April to
October and increased production of the Company's bulk alcohol products from
November to June, corresponding to the Florida citrus harvest. As a result of
these factors, the Company's operating results may vary significantly from
quarter to quarter.
Net sales represent the Company's gross sales less excise taxes. Excise
taxes are generally payable on products bottled by the Company. In addition,
excise taxes are payable on sales of industrial alcohol to certain customers.
Accordingly, excise taxes vary from period to period depending upon the
Company's product and customer mix.
11
ACQUISITION OF MONARCH WINE COMPANY
In November 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Adams Wine Company d/b/a Monarch Wine Company of Georgia ("Monarch"),
Atlanta, Georgia (the acquisition of the assets of Monarch is hereafter referred
to as the "Monarch Acquisition"). The purchase price was $23.5 million in cash.
Monarch specializes in the manufacture of wines, including custom blended wines
and cooking wines for the food industry and base wines for producers of vinegar
and beverage alcohol. The Monarch Acquisition has strengthened the Company's
position in the beverage alcohol and food industry by expanding the Company's
customer base and product offerings, and has improved the Company's plant
capacity utilization.

NET SALES. Net sales were $47.7 million in 2001, an increase of 8.7% from
net sales of $43.9 million in 2000.
Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $19.6 million in 2001, an increase
of 12.4% from net sales of $17.4 million in 2000. The increase resulted
primarily from increased sales of wine products due to the Monarch Acquisition.
Unit sales of citrus spirits decreased 52.0% and unit sales of wine products
increased 22.0% in 2001 compared to 2000. These changes resulted from the
Monarch Acquisition, as Monarch was a major purchaser of the Company's citrus
spirits for use in producing fortified citrus wine.
Net sales of premium branded spirits were $8.1 million in 2001, an increase
of 19.6% from net sales of $6.8 million in 2000. This sales increase reflected
the continued success of the Company's Cruzan Rums. Sales of the Company's
Cruzan Rums and Cruzan Flavored Rums increased 30.3% and 70.9% respectively in
2001 compared to 2000. Sales of Porfidio tequila decreased 37.6% due to an
industry-wide shortage of agave, the principal raw material for the Company's
premium tequila brand.
Net sales of the Company's bottling operations were $9.9 million in 2001,
an increase of 22.5% from net sales of $8.1 million in 2000. The unit volume of
the Company's bottling operations increased 52.1% in 2001 as a result of a new
bottling contract. Management expects the unit volume in its bottling operations
to increase over fifty percent for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, as
a result of this new business.
13
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $10.1 million in 2001, a
decrease of 2.3% from net sales of $10.3 million in 2000.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $15.5 million in 2001, an increase of 12.2%
from gross profit of $13.8 million in 2000. Gross margin increased to 32.4% in
2001 from 31.4% in 2000. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable
to a change in product mix as a result of the Monarch Acquisition.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $9.9 million in 2001, an increase of 13.7% from
$8.7 million in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to (1) increased
marketing expenses related to the Company's premium branded spirits business,
and (2) increased amortization expense.
OPERATING INCOME. The following table sets forth the operating income
(loss) by operating segment of the Company for 2001 and 2000.

===============================
As a result of the above factors, operating income was $5.5 million in
2001, an increase of 9.6% over operating income of $5.0 million in 2000.
INTEREST INCOME. The Company earns interest income on its cash, short-term
investments and notes receivable. The decrease in interest income in 2001 was
attributable to lower average amounts of cash, short-term investments and notes
receivable outstanding compared to 2000.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $2.6 million in 2001 and $2.2
million in 2000. The increase in interest expense was due to increased
borrowings on the Company's line of credit during 2001 as compared to 2000.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Company's effective income tax rate was 24.1% in
2001 and 22.9% in 2000. The low tax rate was attributable to the Virgin Islands
subsidiary, which has a 90% exemption from United States federal income taxes
through January 2002 (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000.

NET SALES. Net sales were $25.5 million in 2001, an increase of 8.6% from net
sales of $23.5 million in 2000.
Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $10.2 million in 2001, an increase
of 11.0% from net sales of $9.2 million in 2000. The increase resulted primarily
from increased sales of wine products due to the Monarch Acquisition. Unit sales
of citrus spirits decreased 16.7% and unit sales of wine products increased
15.5% in 2001 compared to 2000. These changes resulted from the Monarch
Acquisition, as Monarch was a major purchaser of the Company's citrus spirits
for use in producing fortified citrus wine.
14
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net sales of premium branded spirits were $4.1 million in 2001, an increase
of 31.2% from net sales of $3.2 million in 2000. This sales increase reflected
the continued success of the Company's Cruzan Rums. Sales of the Company's
Cruzan Rums and Cruzan Flavored Rums increased 17.7% and 87.4% respectively in
2001 compared to 2000. Sales of Porfidio tequila decreased 8.1% due to an
industry-wide shortage of agave, the principal raw material for the Company's
premium tequila brand.
Net sales of the Company's bottling operations were $5.9 million in 2001,
an increase of 28.0% from net sales of $4.6 million in 2000. The unit volume of
the Company's bottling operations increased 61.5% in 2001 as a result of a new
bottling contract. Management expects the unit volume in its bottling operations
to increase over fifty percent for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, as
a result of this new business.
Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $5.2 million in 2001, a decrease
of 12.8% from net sales of $5.9 million in 2000. The decrease in net sales was
primarily attributable to timing of customer orders.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $7.8 million in 2001, an increase of 6.9%
from gross profit of $7.3 million in 2000. Gross margin decreased to 30.5% in
2001 from 31.0% in 2000.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $5.0 million in 2001, an increase of 9.8% from $4.6
million in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increased marketing
expenses related to the Company's premium branded spirits business.

INTEREST INCOME. The Company earns interest income on its cash, short-term
investments and notes receivable.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $1.2 million in 2001 and $1.2
million in 2000. Interest expense remained constant as increased borrowings on
the Company's line of credit in 2001 were offset by lower interest rates.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Company's effective income tax rate was 23.3% in
2001 and 21.1% in 2000. The low tax rate was attributable to the Virgin Islands
subsidiary, which has a 90% exemption from United States federal income taxes
through January 2002 (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
15
FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL
The Company's principal use of cash in its operating activities is to
purchase raw materials to be used in its manufacturing operations, purchase
imported products for its premium branded spirits business and carry inventories
and receivables. The Company's sources of liquidity have historically been cash
flow from operations and borrowings. Some of the Company's manufacturing
operations are seasonal and the Company's borrowings on its line of credit vary
during the year. For example, the Company uses citrus molasses as its primary
raw material in the production of citrus brandy and spirits at its two Florida
distilleries. The Company buys citrus molasses, a byproduct of citrus juice
production, from local manufacturers of citrus juice and concentrate during the
citrus harvest, which generally runs from November to June. The Company
generally begins purchasing citrus molasses in November and builds inventory of
citrus brandy and spirits. The Company must manufacture and build inventory
while raw materials are available due to the short life of the citrus molasses
it purchases. Another seasonal business of the Company is its contract bottling
services. Demand for contract bottling services is highest during the months
from April through October. Management believes that cash provided by its
operating and financing activities will provide adequate resources to satisfy
its working capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure requirements
for both its short-term and long-term needs.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2001 was $2.3 million,
which resulted from $5.4 million in net income adjusted for noncash items, and
$3.1 million representing the net change in operating assets and liabilities.
INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in investing activities in 2001 was $4.7 million, which
resulted primarily from $2.8 million of capital expenditures and a net increase
of $2.2 million in short-term investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2001 was $1.3 million,
which resulted from an increase of $5.4 million in borrowings under the
revolving credit facility and payments of long-term debt totaling $4.0 million.
The Company's present revolving credit facility provides for maximum
borrowings of $15 million. Borrowings under this facility were $13.9 million at
March 31, 2001 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Company's total debt was $60.7 million as of March 31, 2001, and
its ratio of debt to equity was 1.1 to 1.
No provision has been made for income taxes that would result from the
remittance of undistributed earnings of the Company's Bahamian and Virgin
Islands subsidiaries, as the Company intends to reinvest these earnings
indefinitely. The Company's shares of the undistributed earnings of the Bahamian
and Virgin Islands subsidiaries were approximately $8.1 million and $21.1
million, respectively, as of September 30, 2000. See Note 9 to the Company's
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000 for additional information on
income taxes related to these subsidiaries.
Based on current plans and business conditions, management expects that
its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, together with any
amounts generated from operations and available borrowings, will be sufficient
to meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
16
EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The Company uses natural gas in its distilling operations and has
recently experienced significant increases in its energy costs as a result of
natural gas price increases. At the present time, management believes that the
Company's energy costs relating to natural gas will continue to increase. Where
competitively feasible, management plans to increase selling prices to offset
the effects of natural gas price increases, but the Company may not be able to
recover these energy cost increases.
Except as noted above, the Company's results of operations and
financial condition have not been significantly affected by inflation and
changing prices. The Company has been able, subject to normal competitive
conditions, to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information required under this Item 3 is incorporated herein by
reference to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
