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 September 30, 1994, the market value of the Company's trading securities declined $615,000 and is included in Other income (expense).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analyis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The volatile the green coffee market continues to effect Registrant's operations. Green coffee costs have decreased from the 20 year highs reached this past summer. The members of the Association of Coffee Producing Countries (ACPC) are again trying to establish a voluntary coffee retention program to provide a mechanism to support green coffee prices at or above current levels. Green coffee costs for the first half of fiscal 1995 have exceeded those during the same period of fiscal 1994 by nearly 100%. Increases in the sales prices of roast coffee during this period brought operating margins in line with historic averages by the end of the quarter ending in December. Registrant cautions against predicting whether these margins can be sustained given the uncertain cost of its primary raw material and the competitive pressures of its market. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 26%, as the result of higher sales prices of roast coffee, to $62,598,000 as compared to $49,564,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. Net sales for the first half of fiscal 1995 increased 21% to $116,780,000 from $96,562,000 in the same period of fiscal 1994. Gross profit in the second quarter was $30,084,000, or 48% of sales, as compared to $25,908,000, or 48% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and $27,621,000, or 56% of sales, in the same quarter of fiscal 1994. Operating expenses reached $22,063,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, as compared to $21,394,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and $21,372,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Income after taxes and before effect of accounting change for the three months ended December 31, 1994, reached $5,374,000, or $2.79 per share, as compared to $4,514,000, or $2.34 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, and $4,196,000 or $2.18 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 $(0.31) per share. Income after taxes and before the effect of accounting Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, (CONTINUED) change for the six months ended December 31, 1994, reached $8,759,000, or $4.55 per share, as compared to $8,561,000, or $4.44 per share, in the first six months of fiscal 1994.
