IMPERIAL SUGAR COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial statements include the accounts of Imperial Sugar Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007. The Company operates its business as one domestic segment—the production and sale of refined sugar and related products.

Certain reclassifications of depreciation charges in the consolidated statements of operations were made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s sugar inventories, which are accounted for on a LIFO basis, are periodically reduced at interim dates to levels below that of the beginning of the fiscal year. When such interim LIFO liquidations are expected to be restored prior to fiscal year-end, the estimated replacement cost of the liquidated layers is utilized as the basis of the cost of sugar sold from beginning of the year inventory. Accordingly, the cost of sugar utilized in the determination of cost of sales for interim periods includes estimates which may require adjustment in future fiscal periods.

Insurance Recoveries

Insurance recoveries that are deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable are recognized to the extent of the related loss. Insurance recoveries which result in gains, including recoveries under business interruption coverage, are recognized only when realized by settlement with the insurers. Advances on insurance settlements are recorded as liabilities or offsets to accrued probable recoveries. The evaluation of insurance recoveries requires estimates and judgments about future results which affect reported amounts and certain disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently analyzing the potential impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158). This statement amends SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, SFAS No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions, and SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosure about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. SFAS 158 requires the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan as an asset or liability in the balance sheet and changes in that funded status to be recognized in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS 158 also requires measurement of the funded status of a plan as of the balance sheet date. As permitted, the Company has early-adopted the funded status recognition provisions of SFAS 158 effective September 30, 2006. The measurement date provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company expects to adopt the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 in fiscal 2009.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are currently not required to be measured at fair

7

value. Under SFAS 159, entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by instrument basis, with a few exceptions, as long as it is applied to the instrument in its entirety. The fair value option election is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. The statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the entity’s election on its earnings. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently analyzing the potential adoption and impact, if any, of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS 141R), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R would have an impact on accounting for any businesses acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company would be required to report any non-controlling interests as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company would also be required to present any net income allocable to non-controlling interests and net income attributable to the stockholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

2. REFINERY EXPLOSION RELATED CHARGES

The Company experienced an explosion and fire on February 7, 2008, at its sugar refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia, which is located near Savannah, Georgia. While a full assessment of the extent of the damage cannot be made until the site is released to the Company’s engineers following completion of regulatory on site investigations, inspections completed thus far indicate that the refinery’s bulk storage silos and virtually its entire packaging capabilities were destroyed, while the refining and warehousing operations received more limited damage. The Company intends to rebuild the damaged portions of the facility and is retaining outside design and engineering services to expedite the rebuilding process. Based on preliminary engineering estimates, the Company expects to begin bulk sugar production in late calendar year 2008, and to complete the restoration of packaging capabilities in the first half of calendar 2009.

Charges and insurance recoveries included in the consolidated statements of operations for three months ended March 31, 2008, are as follows (in thousands):

Property, plant and equipment impairment	$	10,531
Inventory destroyed or damaged		5,394
Cost incurred as a result of the event:
Legal and consulting		2,832
Loss on raw sugar contracts		2,138
Emergency services and site stabilization		834
Humanitarian efforts		525
Other		1,923
Continuing refinery payroll cost		3,304
Deductibles accrued on liability policies		500
Total Charges		27,980
Insurance Recoveries Recognized (net of $500 deductible on property insurance)		(15,915	)
Net Charges	$	12,065

8

The Company has property damage insurance, which provides replacement cost coverage for the affected facilities. The policy also provides for business interruption insurance based on lost income and certain costs incurred during a reasonable period of reconstruction. Insurance recoveries that are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable have been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, to the extent of the related losses. Such recognized recoveries totaled $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Recoveries which are possible, but not yet probable and reasonably estimable, have not been recognized. The Company is in the early stages of providing claims information for property damage, incurred costs and business interruption coverage. Of the remaining $12.1 million net charges, the Company estimates that insurance recoveries for property damage and incurred costs which are possible, but not yet probable and therefore are not recognized at March 31, 2008, are in the range of $5 million to $7 million.

Insurance recoveries that result in gains will be recognized only when realized. The Company estimated that business interruption claims for lost income during the second quarter will total approximately $6 million to $7 million. Business interruption recoveries will be recognized in revenues upon settlement with the insurance carriers.

The Company’s property insurance policy provides for replacement cost coverage for destroyed property, if replaced within a two-year period. Based on damage assessments completed to date, the Company estimates that the replacement cost of the destroyed buildings and equipment is in the range of $180 million to $230 million, compared to the $10.5 million net book value recognized as impaired. Accordingly, the Company expects to recognize a substantial gain in future periods when the property claims are settled. Such gain may not be recognized for tax purposes to the extent the Company elects under the involuntary conversion rules of the Internal Revenue Code, if the insurance proceeds are reinvested in replacement property within a specified period of time. The replacement cost will establish a new basis in the assets for financial reporting purposes, which will result in higher depreciation charges in future years. The tax basis in the replaced assets will be reduced by the amount of the gain not recognized under the involuntary conversion rules.

3. LOSS ON AUCTION RATE SECURITY

The Company has an investment in a $7.5 million federally insured student loan backed auction rate security for which the auction failed several times during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The company reclassified the security from short-term Marketable Securities to long-term Other Investments, and recorded a loss of $388,000 to reflect an other-than-temporary impairment of the security.

4. OTHER INCOME

In October 2007, the Company received an $11.2 million cash distribution from its long-term limited partnership investment as a result of the partnership selling its principal asset, an interest in a fuel oil terminal in the Port of Houston. The Company recorded the distribution in other income.

5. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to a number of claims, including two lawsuits, by employees and third parties or their families, for injuries and losses of life suffered as a result of the Port Wentworth refinery explosion and fire. The Company believes that its workers compensation and liability insurance coverage is adequate to provide for damages arising from such claims. The Company has recorded a charge for the required deductibles under these policies as part of refinery explosion related charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

The U. S. Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board are currently conducting investigations related to the February 7, 2008 explosion at the Company’s Port Wentworth facility. OSHA has the authority to issue citations alleging violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the regulations thereunder and to propose penalties for any such violations. These investigations are ongoing and the Company is cooperating with the agencies regarding these investigations. The results of these investigations are not known at this time, and the Company is unable to estimate what actions OSHA may require, or what penalties they might assess. OSHA is also conducting an inspection of the Company’s Gramercy, Louisiana refinery, and issued six interim citations with total proposed penalties of $36,000. The Company has contested these citations and their proposed penalties and the matter is now before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission for a review of the merits of the citations and proposed penalties. The Company has suspended operation of its powder sugar production in Gramercy. Powdered sugar constitutes approximately 7% of sales from the Gramercy refinery. The Gramercy inspection is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with OSHA regarding the inspection. The Company is unable to estimate what actions OSHA may require at the Gramercy refinery, or what additional penalties OSHA might assess.

        Additionally, the Company is party to litigation and claims which are normal in the course of its operations. While the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In connection with the sales of certain businesses, the Company made customary representations and warranties, and undertook indemnification obligations with regard to certain of these representations and warranties including financial statements, environmental and tax matters, and the conduct of the businesses prior to the sale. These indemnification obligations are subject to certain deductibles, caps and expiration dates and, in some cases, may be deducted from the related escrow balance.

9

In connection with the sale of a subsidiary in 2002, the buyer assumed $18.5 million of industrial revenue bonds, with final maturity in 2025. The Company remains contingently liable for repayment of the bonds under a guaranty arrangement and does not believe that a liability is probable. The Company has recorded a non-current liability for the fair value of the guarantee pursuant to Financial Interpretation No. 45.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Options to purchase 6,417 shares and 7,417 shares of the Company’s common stock with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $6.54 and $7.56 were exercised during the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2008, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $42,000 and $56,000 for the same periods, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months was $94,000 and $101,000, respectively.

In the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted 87,400 shares and 97,400 shares of restricted stock to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $21.93 per share and $22.13 per share, respectively. These shares generally vest over a four-year period from date of grant. During the six-month period, 58,068 shares of restricted stock vested with a fair value of $1.2 million.

Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company granted 10,000 restricted share units (RSUs) to non-employee directors, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $25.58 per share. The RSUs have no requisite service period and were immediately expensed. The Company recognized approximately $0.3 million of compensation expense in connection with this grant. The RSUs vest six months following termination of board service, but no earlier than two years from date of grant.

The excess tax benefit realized from stock options exercised and restricted stock vested was $0.5 million for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,					Six Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007		2008			2007
Net Income (Loss)	$	(15,531	)	$	8,702	$	(3,268	)	$	24,402
Average Shares Outstanding		11,650,870			11,417,428		11,634,770			11,292,509
Effect of Incremental Shares Issuable from Assumed Exercise of Stock Options and Warrants, and Nonvested Restricted Stock Under the Treasury Stock Method		—			386,452		—			246,938
Adjusted Average Shares Outstanding		11,650,870			11,803,880		11,634,770			11,539,447
Diluted EPS – Net Income (Loss)	$	(1.33	)	$	0.74	$	(0.28	)	$	2.11

10

The assumed exercise of employee stock options and warrants outstanding and the issuance of nonvested restricted stock was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 because their assumed exercise and issuance would have an antidilutive effect on the computation of diluted loss per share.

8. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The components of net periodic benefit costs for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Six Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007			2008			2007
Pension Plans
Service Cost	$	266		$	258		$	532		$	515
Interest Cost		3,077			3,138			6,154			6,277
Expected Return on Plan Assets		(2,911	)		(2,841	)		(5,821	)		(5,682	)
Amortization of Prior Service Cost		31			27			61			54
Recognized Actuarial Loss		347			312			694			624
Total Net Periodic Benefit Costs	$	810		$	894		$	1,620		$	1,788
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pension Plans
Service Cost	$	3		$	4		$	7		$	7
Interest Cost		147			149			293			299
Amortization of Prior Service Cost		(399	)		(399	)		(797	)		(797	)
Recognized Actuarial Loss		107			138			213			276
Total Net Periodic Benefit Costs (Income)	$	(142	)	$	(108	)	$	(284	)	$	(215	)

Pension plan contributions, which are based on regulatory requirements, were $0.4 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Contributions during the remainder of fiscal 2008 are expected to be approximately $5.0 million.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) as of October 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The following table reflects the impacts to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet (in millions) at adoption of FIN 48:

	Increase (Decrease)
Assets:
Deferred Income Taxes-Net	$	0.5
Liabilities:
Other Liabilities (current)		(7.8	)
Deferred Employee Benefits and Other Liabilities (non-current)		5.4
Shareholders’ Equity:
Retained Earnings (Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change)		2.9

11

A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended March 31, 2008, is as follows (in millions):

	Tax			Interest		Total
Balance, October 1, 2007	$	4.9		$	0.5	$	5.4
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		0.1			0.2		0.3
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(0.1	)		—		(0.1	)
Balance, March 31, 2008	$	4.9		$	0.7	$	5.6

Substantially all of the $4.9 million unrecognized benefits would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $0.3 million of interest expense as a result of positions taken. Interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2008 was $1.1 million. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest and tax expense, respectively.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal years 2004 through 2007. The Company or its subsidiaries’ state tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2003 through 2007.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Overview

We operate in a single domestic business segment, which produces and sells refined sugar and related products. Our results of operations substantially depend on market factors, including the demand for and price of refined sugar, the price of raw cane sugar and the availability and price of energy and other resources. These market factors are influenced by a variety of external forces that we are unable to predict, including the number of domestic acres contracted to grow sugar cane and sugarbeets, prices of competing crops, domestic health and eating trends, competing sweeteners, weather conditions, production outages at key industry facilities and United States farm and trade policy. The domestic sugar industry is subject to substantial influence by legislative and regulatory actions. The current farm bill limits the importation of raw cane sugar and the marketing of refined beet and raw cane sugar, potentially affecting refined sugar sales prices and volumes as well as the supply and cost of raw material available to our cane refineries.

The Company experienced an explosion and fire on February 7, 2008, at its sugar refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia, which is located near Savannah, Georgia. A number of employees and contractors were injured and there were 13 fatalities. The explosion and fire is under investigation by the Company, the Occupational Safety Health Administration and the Chemical Safety Board. A full assessment of the extent of the damage at the Port Wentworth, Georgia refinery cannot be made until the site is released to the Company’s engineers following completion of regulatory, on site investigations, expected to occur in our third fiscal quarter. Preliminary inspection indicates that the refinery’s bulk storage silos and virtually its entire packaging capabilities were destroyed, while the refining and warehousing operations received more limited damage. Demolition efforts at the site are well underway. The Company intends to rebuild the damaged portions of the facility and is retaining outside design and engineering services to expedite the rebuilding process. Based on preliminary engineering estimates, the Company expects to begin bulk sugar production in late calendar year 2008, and to complete the restoration of packaging capabilities in the first half of calendar 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has property damage insurance, which provides replacement cost coverage for the affected facilities or a reduced amount to the extent not replaced. The policy also provides for business interruption insurance based on lost income and certain costs incurred during a reasonable period of reconstruction. The combined policy coverage for property damage and business interruption is subject to deductibles and a number of exclusions and sub-limits, as well as an overall policy limit of $350 million per event. Based on the preliminary damage estimates described above, the Company believes its insurance coverage is adequate to provide for the replacement of the damaged facilities, estimated in the range of $180 million to $230 million. The Company is in continuous communication with representatives of the insurers to assure a smooth flow of information in an effort to expedite the claims processing effort. The Company has received advances on its property insurance claims of $14.0 million in March and $17.5 million in April and May 2008.

12

Additionally, the Company has workers compensation insurance and general liability insurance. Workers compensation insurance provides for coverage equal to the statutory benefits provided under state law. The general liability insurance provides coverage for damage to third parties or their property, up to a policy limit of $100 million. Each of these policies is subject to sub limits and exclusions and required deductibles.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $86.4 million. Additionally, the Company has a revolving credit agreement (the “Revolver”) which provides for up to $100 million (subject to a borrowing base) of senior secured revolving credit loans. At March 31, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings and had borrowing capacity of $94.3 million, after deducting outstanding letters of credit totaling $5.7 million. The Revolver is secured by substantially all of our current assets, certain investments and certain property, plant and equipment, and contains covenants limiting our ability to incur debt, sell assets, pay dividends and enter into certain other transactions. Additionally, the revolver requires maintenance of certain financial covenants if liquidity, as defined in the agreement, falls below a certain level.

We believe that our available liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs, including reconstruction costs and ongoing capital improvements, during the period required to restore production capabilities at the Port Wentworth refinery.

Results of Operations

Our operating results for the quarter were significantly impacted by the tragic events at our Port Wentworth sugar refinery, which comprised almost 60% of our productive capacity. In spite of increasing the Gramercy, Louisiana refinery to full capacity during the last two months of the second quarter, available production and inventories substantially constrained sugar volumes available to ship to customers. Additionally, cost in excess of amounts recognizable as probable insurance recoveries significantly impacted results of operations.

Three Months and Six Months Ended March 31, 2008 compared to Three Months and Six Months Ended March 31, 2007

In the current quarter, we reported a net loss of $15.5 million or $1.33 per diluted share, compared to income of $8.7 million or $0.74 per diluted share during the second fiscal quarter of the prior year. For the first six months of the current year, we reported a net loss of $3.3 million or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to income of $24.4 million or $2.11 per diluted share last year. Lower domestic sugar prices are the primary drivers of lower profitability in the current periods. Additionally, the refinery explosion related charges (as described in Note 2) resulted in net pre-tax charges of $12.1 million. The remaining decrease in net income was driven by lower sales volumes due to the loss of the Savannah production capacity as well as higher freight costs. We discuss these and other factors in more detail below.

Our results of operations primarily depend on our success in achieving appropriate spreads of sugar sales prices over raw material costs and our ability to control our manufacturing, distribution and administrative costs. Sugar sales comprise approximately 97% of our net sales.

Sugar sales volumes and prices were:

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Six Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007			2008			2007
	Volume	Price		Volume	Price		Volume	Price		Volume	Price
	(000 cwt)	(per cwt)		(000 cwt)	(per cwt)		(000 cwt)	(per cwt)		(000 cwt)	(per cwt)
Sugar Sales:
Industrial	2,451	$	29.15	3,452	$	31.55	5,707	$	29.59	6,119	$	32.58
Consumer	1,184		34.86	1,723		35.74	3,420		35.52	4,089		37.04
Foodservice	639		30.22	664		34.75	1,355		30.96	1,371		37.73
Domestic Sales	4,274		30.89	5,839		33.15	10,483		31.70	11,579		34.77
World/Toll Sales	394		20.93	589		22.45	783		21.03	1,475		17.07
Sugar Sales	4,667	$	30.05	6,428	$	32.17	11,266	$	30.96	13,054	$	32.77

Net sales decreased 31.7% for the three months and 17.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2008, each compared to the same period in the prior year. Sugar volumes decreased 27.4% for the quarter and 13.7% for the six-month period primarily due to the lost volume from Savannah, partially offset by increased production in Gramercy. Domestic prices decreased 6.8% for the quarter and 8.8% for the six-month period. Gross margin (after depreciation) as a percentage of sales

13

was 1.5% for the three months and 4.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 10.2% for the quarter and 13.2% for the six months last year. Domestic sugar market supply conditions, driven by a large domestic sugar beet crop, have led to lower refined sugar prices and reduced sales margins. The large crop and projected surplus inventories have resulted in price declines which we expect to continue to realize in industrial contracts for the balance of fiscal 2008. The Company declared force majeure on the industrial contracts sourced from the Savannah refinery and is allocating product from excess available production to customers under those contracts.

Energy costs for the quarter and year were higher than the prior year due to a negative mix of energy sources caused by the curtailment of sugar production in Savannah. Higher energy costs reduced gross margin as a percent of sales by 0.6 % for the quarter and 0.2% for the six-month period. The Savannah refinery utilizes lower priced coal as its primary energy source while the Gramercy refinery exclusively uses natural gas. Natural gas provided approximately 53% and 55% of the energy for our plants in last year’s second quarter and first six months respectively, while the remainder of our energy usage was comprised of coal and fuel oil. In the current quarter and first six months, natural gas usage has increased to 74% and 61% of the total. Our average NYMEX basis cost of natural gas after applying gains and losses from hedging activity decreased to $8.49 per mmbtu in the current quarter and $7.99 in the first six months of the current year as compared to $8.87 and $8.09 in the same quarter and first six months of last year. We have purchased or hedged approximately 42% of our expected 1.0 million mmbtu natural gas requirements for the last six months of fiscal 2008 at prices higher than prior year levels. If the balance of our anticipated natural gas purchases were priced in the futures market on April 30, 2008, our natural gas costs in the second half of fiscal 2008 would be approximately $9.88 per mmbtu compared to $7.74 per mmbtu in last fiscal year’s second half.

In addition to the effects of sales prices and energy costs described above, gross margin was impacted by higher transportation costs. Fuel costs and higher rail fleet costs have had an adverse effect on our transportation costs, reducing gross margin percentage by 1.1% for the quarter and 0.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Partially offsetting the margin impact of lower refined prices, the higher availability of raw sugar has resulted in lower raw sugar prices. Our cost of domestic raw cane sugar decreased from $20.79 per cwt (on a raw market basis) for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $20.66 per cwt for the current quarter and from $20.95 per cwt for the first six months of last fiscal year to $20.78 per cwt for the first six months of this fiscal year. The lower domestic raw cane sugar cost increased our gross margin percentage by 0.4% for the three months and 0.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Manufacturing costs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 were virtually unchanged to the same period last year and had no effect on gross margin percentage.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $2.8 million for the quarter and $4.9 million for the first six months of the fiscal year. The reduction for the quarter was driven by reductions in professional fees of $1.8 million related to the Southern Minnesota arbitration matter last year and corporate development costs, as well as a reduction in advertising costs of $0.7 million. The decrease in the six-month period was the result of the same factors affecting the quarter, as well as lower workers compensation expense of $0.7 million.

Refinery explosion related charges, net of recognized probable insurance recoveries, are detailed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

In January 2007, Intercontinental Commodity Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE) merged with the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) in exchange for a combination of cash and ICE common stock. The merger consideration received for our NYBOT membership interests included $0.8 million of cash and restricted and unrestricted ICE stock. A gain of approximately $3.7 million was recorded in connection with this transaction as Gain on Commodity Exchange Seats.

The Company has an investment in a $7.5 million federally insured student loan backed auction rate security for which the auction failed several times during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The company recorded a loss of $388,000 to reflect an other-than-temporary impairment of the security.

Other income, which includes equity investment earnings and distributions from cost basis investments, increased $0.2 million in the quarter and $11.9 million in the first six months of the fiscal year compared to the same periods in the prior year. In October 2007, the Company received an $11.2 million cash distribution from its long-term limited partnership investment as a result of the partnership selling its principal asset, an interest in a fuel oil terminal in the Port of Houston. The Company recorded the distribution in other income. In November 2007, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture with a Monterrey, Mexico-based sugar producer, which will market sugar products in Mexico and facilitate cross-border transactions (to the extent such transactions are economically viable) under the recently implemented NAFTA provisions. Equity in earnings of this joint venture is $0.1 million in the current quarter and $0.3 million in the first six months of the fiscal year. Additionally other income includes our 45% share of the earnings of Wholesome Sweeteners, which increased $0.2 million in the quarter as compared to the prior period.

        We have estimated a combined federal and state income tax rate of 36.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 33.0% in the same period last year. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the effect of tax-free interest income, as well as the impact of equity earnings in our Mexican joint venture.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimate methodologies since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007 except for the accounting for asset impairments and insurance recoveries described in Note 2.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We use raw sugar futures and options in our raw sugar purchasing programs and natural gas futures and options to hedge natural gas purchases used in our manufacturing operations. Our ability to effectively hedge raw sugar purchases is limited by the illiquidity in the domestic raw sugar futures market. Gains and losses on raw sugar futures and options are matched to inventory purchases and charged or credited to cost of sales as such inventory is sold. Gains and losses on natural gas futures are matched to the natural gas purchases and charged to cost of sales in the period of the purchase.

The information in the table below presents our domestic and world raw sugar futures positions outstanding as March 31, 2008.

	Expected Maturity Fiscal 2008		Expected Maturity Fiscal 2009

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008, to provide

15

reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to a number of claims, including two lawsuits, by employees and third parties or their families, for injuries and losses of life suffered as a result of the Port Wentworth refinery explosion and fire. The Company believes that its workers compensation and liability insurance coverage is adequate to provide for damages arising from such claims. The Company has recorded a charge for the required deductibles under these policies as part of refinery explosion related charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

The U. S. Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board are currently conducting investigations related to the February 7, 2008 explosion at the Company’s Port Wentworth facility. OSHA has the authority to issue citations alleging violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the regulations thereunder and to propose penalties for any such violations. These investigations are ongoing and the Company is cooperating with the agencies regarding these investigations. The results of these investigations are not known at this time, and the Company is unable to estimate what actions OSHA may require, or what penalties they might assess. OSHA is also conducting an inspection of the Company’s Gramercy, Louisiana refinery, and issued six interim citations with total proposed penalties of $36,000. The Company has contested these citations and their proposed penalties and the matter is now before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission for a review of the merits of the citations and proposed penalties. The Company has suspended operation of its powder sugar production in Gramercy. Powdered sugar constitutes approximately 7% of sales from the Gramercy refinery. The Gramercy inspection is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with OSHA regarding the inspection. The Company is unable to estimate what actions OSHA may require at the Gramercy refinery, or what additional penalties OSHA might assess.

Additionally, the Company is party to litigation and claims which are normal in the course of its operations. While the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In connection with the sales of certain businesses, the Company made customary representations and warranties, and undertook indemnification obligations with regard to certain of these representations and warranties including financial statements, environmental and tax matters, and the conduct of the businesses prior to the sale. These indemnification obligations are subject to certain deductibles, caps and expiration dates and, in some cases, may be deducted from the related escrow balance.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007, except as follows:

Our Port Wentworth refinery is a substantial portion of our production capacity and a prolonged interruption of operations would materially adversely affect our results. Business interruption insurance provides coverage for lost income, subject to certain policy limits, during a reasonable reconstruction period, plus up to a year after such reconstruction period. If reconstruction of the facility extends beyond a reasonable period, or if we experience an interruption for a longer period of time, business interruption recoveries may not be available for the full amount of lost income. Our property insurance policy provides for replacement cost coverage, subject to certain policy limits. If the reconstruction costs exceed the policy limits, property insurance may not be available to fund the full reconstruction costs. The Company is party to a number of claims, including two lawsuits, for injuries and losses suffered as a result of the explosion. If damages in these matters exceed the policy limits, we could be subject to liabilities, which could be material.
