Item 1.  Business.

         General Information

     Midwest  Grain  Products,  Inc.  (the  Company)  is  a  Kansas  corporation
headquartered in Atchison,  Kansas. It is the successor to a business founded in
1941 by Cloud L. Cray, Sr.

     The Company is a fully integrated  producer of wheat gluten,  premium wheat
starch and  alcohol  products.  These grain  products  are  processed  at plants
located in Atchison,  Kansas, and Pekin,  Illinois.  Wheat is purchased directly
from local and regional  farms and grain  elevators  and milled into flour.  The
flour is processed with water to extract vital wheat gluten,  a portion of which
is further processed into specialty wheat proteins.  Vital wheat gluten and most
wheat protein  products are dried into powder and sold in packaged or bulk form.
The starch  slurry which  results  after the  extraction of the gluten and wheat
proteins is further  processed  to extract  premium  wheat  starch which is also
dried into  powder and sold in packaged or bulk form.  The  remaining  slurry is
mixed with corn or milo and water and then cooked,  fermented and distilled into
alcohol.  The residue of the  distilling  operations is dried and sold as a high
protein  additive for animal feed.  Carbon dioxide which is produced  during the
fermentation  process  is  trapped  and sold.  As a result  of these  processing
operations, the Company sells approximately 95% (by weight) of grain processed.

     The table below shows the  Company's  sales from  continuing  operations by
product  group for each of the five years ended June 30,  1999,  as well as such
sales as a percent of total sales.

     The Company's results for 1999 improved  significantly over those for 1998.
Net Income  increased to $1.3 million from a 1998 loss of $2.2  million.  At the
same time earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased  46%  from  $12.1  million  in 1998 to  $17.7  million  in  1999.  The
improvement resulted primarily from lower raw material costs for wheat, corn and
milo  and  increased  productivity  in the  Company's  wheat  gluten  processing
operations.  Although profitability  increased,  it was negatively impacted by a
continuation  of low selling prices for alcohol  products  resulting from excess
industry-wide  alcohol  production  capacity.  The 3.0% decline in the Company's
total 1999 sales was also due to the lower selling prices for alcohol products.

     The bulk of the Company's sales are made direct to large institutional food
and beverage  processors and distributors  with respect to which the Company has
longstanding  relationships.  Sales to these customers are usually  evidenced by
short  term  agreements  that are  cancelable  within  30 days and  under  which
products  are  usually  ordered,  produced,  sold and  shipped  within  60 days.
However, a substantial amount of the Company's fuel alcohol is sold

                                        1

under  longer  term  contracts,  primarily  to cover the needs of  gasoline
refiners during  September  through March of each year.  Also,  during the first
part of fiscal 2000,  the Company began to accept orders for future  delivery of
vital wheat gluten in response to increased demand resulting from the three-year
quota on foreign wheat gluten imports. None of the Company's customers accounted
for more than ten percent of the Company's  consolidated  revenues during fiscal
1999,  except  for a  distributor  of vital  wheat  gluten  that  accounted  for
approximately 12% of the Company's 1999 sales.

     Historically,  the  Company's  sales  have not  been  seasonal  except  for
variations  affecting  alcohol and gluten  sales.  Fuel  alcohol  sales  usually
increase during the period August through March due to requirements of the Clean
Air Act which inhibit the sale of ethanol in certain areas of the country during
May 1 through  September 15 each year.  Certain  environmental  regulations also
favor greater use of ethanol  during the winter months of the year. See "Alcohol
Products- Fuel Grade Alcohol."  Beverage  alcohol sales tend to peak in the fall
as  distributors  order stocks for the holiday  season,  while gluten sales have
tended to increase to a minor  extent  during the second half of the fiscal year
as demand  increases for hot dog and hamburger buns and similar bakery products.
During the next two years the Company expects fluctuations in wheat gluten sales
due to the  effects  of annual  quotas on the  import of wheat  gluten  into the
United States. See "Vital Wheat Gluten - Competition."

     For further information,  see the Consolidated  Financial Statements of the
Company and  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of the  Company's  Financial
Condition and Results of  Operations  which appear at pages 18 through 24 of the
Annual Report.

Wheat Gluten

     The  Company's  wheat  gluten  products  consist of vital wheat  gluten and
specialty wheat proteins that are derived from vital wheat gluten. During fiscal
1999, vital wheat gluten accounted for  approximately  95% of total wheat gluten
sales and specialty wheat proteins accounted for the balance.  In 1998, sales of
specialty wheat proteins accounted for less than 1% of total wheat gluten sales.

     Vital  wheat  gluten is a  free-flowing  light tan  powder  which  contains
approximately 75% to 80% protein.  Its vitality,  water absorption and retention
and  film-forming  properties  make it desirable as an  ingredient  in many food
products. It is the only commercially available high protein food additive which


possesses  vitality.  The vitality of the Company's  vital wheat gluten  results
from its elastic and cohesive  characteristics  when added to dough or otherwise
reconstituted with water.

     Vital wheat gluten is added by bakeries and food  processors to baked goods
such as wheat breads,  and to pet foods,  cereals,  processed  meats,  fish, and
poultry to improve the nutritional content, texture, strength, shape, and volume
of the product. The neutral flavor and color of wheat gluten also enhances,  but
does not change,  the flavor and color of food. It has been increasingly used in
breads and pet foods.  The cohesiveness and elasticity of the gluten enables the
dough in wheat and  other  high  protein  breads  to rise and to  support  added
ingredients  such as whole cracked grains,  raisins and fibers.  This allows the
baker to make an array of different  breads by varying the gluten content of the
dough.  Vital wheat gluten is also added to white breads,  hot dog and hamburger
buns to improve the strength and cohesiveness of the product. For example, vital
wheat gluten provides greater hinge strength for hot dog buns.

     In recent years the Company began the  development of a number of Specialty
Wheat Proteins for food and non-food applications.  Specialty Wheat Proteins are
derived from vital wheat gluten through a variety of proprietary processes which
change the molecular  structure of vital wheat gluten.  Food  application  wheat
proteins  include  gliadin,  glutenin,  products in the  Wheatex(TM)  and FP(TM)
series  and  Pasta  Power(TM).  Non-food  applications  include  wheat  proteins
designed  for use  primarily  in cosmetics  and  personal  care  products and in
biodegradable   gluten   resins  that  can  be  molded  to  form  a  variety  of
biodegradable plastic-like objects.
                                        2

Food Applications

*    Gliadin and Glutenin  are the two  principal  molecules  that make up vital
     wheat gluten. The Company's patented process enables the separation of each
     for a variety of end uses.  Glutenin,  a large molecule responsible for the
     elastic  character of vital wheat  gluten,  increases the strength of bread
     doughs,  improves the freeze-thaw  characteristics of frozen doughs and may
     be used as a functional protein source in beef jerky-type products, as well
     as in meat extension. Gliadin, the smaller of the two molecules, is soluble
     in water and other liquids,  including  alcohol and is responsible  for the
     viscous properties of wheat gluten. Those  characteristics make it ideal to
     improve the texture of noodles and pastas. Gliadin is also used in a number
     of cosmetics and personal care products as described  below under "Non-Food
     Applications."

*    Wheaten(TM)  Series  consists of texturized  wheat proteins made from vital
     wheat  gluten by  changing  it into a  pliable  substance  through  special
     processing.  The resulting solid food product can be further  enhanced with
     flavoring  and  coloring and  reconstituted  with water.  Texturized  wheat
     proteins are used for meat,  poultry and fish  substitutes,  extenders  and
     binders.  Wheatex(TM) mimics the textural characteristics and appearance of
     meat, fish and poultry products.  It is available in a variety of sizes and
     colors and can be easily formed into patties,  links or virtually any other
     shape the customer requires. Because of its neutral taste, Wheatex(TM) will
     not alter  flavors  that are added to the  product.  It also has  excellent
     water-binding   capacities  for  the  retention  of  natural  meat  juices.
     Wheatex(TM)  is presently  being sold for  applications  in vegetarian  and
     extended meat products.



*    FP(TM)  Series.  The Midsol FP(TM) series of products  consist of specialty
     wheat proteins each tailored for use in a variety of food applications. WPI
     2100(TM) is a soluble wheat protein isolate that is an effective substitute
     for egg whites,  casein (a milk protein) and soy protein  isolates and that
     can be used in  cheeses,  meats and  nutritional  beverages.  Other  FP(TM)
     series  products  include  Midsol  FP(TM)  5000  that can be used to form a
     barrier to fat and moisture  penetration  to enhance  crispness and improve
     batter  adhesion in fried  products,  Midsol  FP(TM) 6000 and Midsol FP(TM)
     600, which are excellent  binders for  vegetarian  patties or meat extended
     products  and Midsol  FP(TM)  700,  which is ideal for  making  nutritional
     drinks.


*    Pasta  Power(TM),  is a specialty  wheat  protein that is a  cost-effective
     replacement  for whole  eggs and egg  whites  and  enhances  the  strength,
     texture,  quality and  functionality  of fresh,  frozen and flavored  pasta
     products. The added strength enables the canning of pasta and its treatment
     with spices without significant  deterioration of the noodle or other pasta
     product, as in the case of canned spaghetti and similar products.

Non-Food Applications

*    Cosmetics and Personal Care  Products.  Specialty  wheat  proteins  include
     proteins that have been  hydrolyzed or otherwise  altered to become soluble
     in water  and  other  liquids.  This  enables  their use in food as well as
     non-food cosmetic applications such as hair sprays,  shampoos, skin lotions
     and similar  products.  These  include Foam  Pro(TM),  a  hydrolyzed  wheat
     protein that has been  developed  as a foam  booster to  naturally  enhance
     detergent  systems such as shampoos,  liquid hand soaps and bath and shower
     gels;  Aqua Pro(TM) II WAA, a solution of amino acids produced from natural
     wheat proteins that helps provide  excellent  moisturizing and film forming
     properties in both hair and skin  systems;  Aqua Pro(TM) II WP, an additive
     for shampoo;  Aqua Pro(TM) QWL,  which enhances the  functionality  of hair
     conditioners;  and Aqua Pro(TM) II WG, which is a gliadin  formulation that
     is used in hair and skin cleansers and conditioners.

                                        3

*    Biodegradable Gluten Resins. Polytriticum(TM) 200 and Polytriticum(TM) 2000
     are the Company's environmentally friendly biodegradable gluten resins that
     can  be   molded   to   produce  a   variety   of   plastic-like   objects.
     Polytriticum(TM)  200 may be  used as a  commercial  raw  material  for the
     production  of  pet  foods  and  biodegradable  landscaping  materials  and
     Polytriticum(TM)  2000  has been  developed  for use in  disposable  eating
     utensils, golf tees, food and feed containers and similar type vessels.

     Although  a number of the  specialty  wheat  proteins  are being  marketed,
others are still in the test marketing or  development  stage.  Specialty  wheat
proteins are  accounting  for an increasing  share of the Company's  total wheat
gluten sales.  During fiscal 1999 that  percentage grew from less than 1% to 5%.
That  share is  expected  to  continue  to  increase  in 2000  due to  increased
marketing and customer  recognition of the advantages of these unique  products.
This is consistent with the Company's overall strategy to focus on the marketing
and  development of specialty wheat gluten and starch products for use in unique
market niches. Specialty wheat proteins generally compete with other ingredients
and modified proteins having similar characteristics.




     The Company  produces vital wheat gluten from modernized  facilities at the
Atchison plant and new facilities at the Pekin plant.  It is shipped  throughout
the continental United States in bulk and in 50 to 100 pound bags. Approximately
12% of the Company's  total fiscal 1999 sales were made to a distributor for the
bakery  industry,  the Ben C. Williams  Bakery Services  Company,  which in turn
distributes  vital wheat gluten to independent  bakeries.  The remainder is sold
directly to major food  processors  and  bakeries.

     The Company's wheat gluten processing  operations are believed to produce a
quality of vital wheat gluten and specialty  wheat proteins that are equal to or
better  than that of any others on the  market.  The  Company's  location in the
center of the United  States grain belt,  its  production  capacity and years of
operating experience,  enable it to provide a consistently high level of service
to customers.

     Competition-Vital  Wheat Gluten. The Company's principal competitors in the
U.S.  vital wheat  gluten  market  consist  primarily  of three  other  domestic
producers  and  producers  in the European  Union (the  "E.U."),  Australia  and
certain other regulated  countries (the "Foreign  Exporters").  Between June 30,
1994 and June 30, 1998,  the E.U. took an  increasingly  large share of the U.S.
gluten  market.  Imports of wheat gluten shipped into the United States from the
E.U. during the crop year ended June 30, 1995, were  approximately  51.9 million
pounds.  Those imports  increased to 70.2 million pounds in the crop year ending
June 30, 1996, to 91.1 million pounds in the crop year ending June 30, 1997, and
to 97.5 million  pounds in the crop year ending June 30, 1998,  for an aggregate
increase of 88%. Due to the  imposition  of import  quotas  beginning on June 1,
1998, U.S.  Customs data shows that E.U. imports declined to 65.5 million pounds
in fiscal  1999 and are  expected to be limited to 45.8  million  pounds for the
year  ending May 30,  2000 and 60.7  million  pounds for the year ending May 30,
2001.

     Competition  in the vital wheat  gluten  industry is based  primarily  upon
price.  Since the increasing  surge of large,  subsidized  volumes of E.U. wheat
gluten into the U.S., vital wheat gluten prices have been primarily  affected by
(i)  excess  E.U.  capacity,   (ii)  subsidies  and  other  protective  measures
("Subsidies")  provided to E.U.  exporters by their host governments,  (iii) low
U.S.  tariffs and (iv) gluten import quotas.  The Subsidies and low U.S. tariffs
encouraged  E.U.  producers to expand  wheat starch and wheat gluten  production
capacity and to continue the  development of even greater  capacities.  Based on
industry  sources,  during  the years  ending  December  31,  1998 and 1999,  an
estimated 160 million pounds of additional  E.U.  capacity were completed and an
estimated  additional 60 million pounds of E.U. capacity have been forecasted to
be  completed  by  December  31,  2000.  Until the  imposition  of quotas by the
President of the United  States  effective  June 1, 1998, it was expected that a
majority  of the excess  wheat  gluten  production  from these  plants  would be
targeted for shipment to the U.S.

     The  Wheat  Gluten  Industry  Council  of  the  United  States,   which  is
principally  supported  by the  Company  and two  other  domestic  wheat  gluten
producers,  has  engaged  in a number of  initiatives  to combat  this  surge in
Subsidized  E.U.  wheat  gluten.  Initially  the Wheat Gluten  Industry  Council
attempted to establish equal  opportunity or a "level playing field" in the U.S.
market through negotiations under a Grains Agreement between the E.U. and the

                                        4

United States.  A lack of meaningful  discussions was followed by an action
under  Section  301 of the  Trade  Act of 1974.  Following  a  further  round of


unsatisfactory  discussions  in  connection  with that action,  the Wheat Gluten
Council   initiated  a  second  proceeding  on  September  19,  1997,  with  the
International  Trade  Commission  of the United  States under section 201 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (the "Section 201 Proceeding").

     The  Section  201  Proceeding  met with  success  during the second half of
fiscal 1998. On March 18, 1998, the International Trade Commission  submitted to
the  President  a unanimous  affirmative  determination  that  "imports of wheat
gluten are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as
to be a  substantial  cause of serious  injury to the  domestic  industry."  The
International Trade Commission also recommended to the President that a quota be
placed on imports of  foreign  wheat  gluten.  As a result of that  finding  and
recommendation  and  pursuant  to  Section  203 of the  Trade  Act of 1974,  the
President issued  Proclamation  7103, on May 30, 1998. The Proclamation  imposes
annual quantitative  limitations for three years on imports of wheat gluten from
the E. U. and other  Foreign  Exporters at an amount equal to the total  average
imports of wheat gluten shipped into the United States by the Foreign  Exporters
during the three crop years ended June 30,  1995.  The  aggregate  quota for the
first  year was 126.8  million  pounds.  Annual  increases  in that quota of six
percent  prevail in the second year and in the third year.  Due to violations of
the quota by the E.U.  during  the first  quota  year,  the  President  issued a
proclamation  on May 29, 1999,  that reduced the E.U.'s second year quota by the
amount of illegally  shipped gluten in the first year and placed in effect other
measures designed to preclude further violations. The quotas for "goods entered,
or  withdrawn  from  warehouse  for  consumption,  on or after  June 1, 1999" in
millions of pounds are:



                  "If entered during the period from June 1, 1999, through May 31, 2000, inclusive....:"

                                                                     
                                    Australia.................................66.1 million pounds
                                    European Community....................... 45.8 million pounds
                                    Other Countries...........................11.0 million pounds

                  "If entered during the period from June 1, 2000, through May 31, 2001, inclusive....:"

                                    Australia.................................70.1 million pounds
                                    European Community........................60.7 million pounds
                                    Other Countries...........................11.7 million pounds


     Based on information  reported from the U.S. Customs Service,  the E.U. had
imported  all of its quota for the year ended June 1, 2000,  by the end of July,
1999. The Company  believes that a portion of this E.U. gluten may be warehoused
for sale throughout the quota year.

     During the next two years and beyond the  Company  plans to  intensify  its
focus on increasing the sales and  production of specialty  wheat proteins since
those niche  products are expected to be able to compete more  effectively  with
increased foreign imports following the end of the annual quotas in 2001.

     The  Company's   sales  of  vital  wheat  gluten   during  1999   increased
approximately  32% over gluten  sales in fiscal  1998 as the  Company  increased
production  to  respond  to the market  requirements  resulting  from the gluten
import quotas. This increased production and relatively low grain prices enabled
the  Company's  gluten   operations  to  contribute  to  the  Company's  overall
profitability for 1999.


Premium Wheat Starch

     Wheat starch constitutes the  carbohydrate-bearing  portion of wheat flour.
The Company  produces a pure white premium wheat starch powder by extracting the
starch from the starch slurry  substantially  free of all  impurities and fibers
and then by spray, flash or drum drying the starch. Premium wheat starch differs
from low grade or

                                        5

B wheat  starches which are extracted  along with  impuritiB  starches since its
integrated  processing facilities are able to process the remaining slurry after
the  extraction o es and fibers and are used  primarily  as a binding  agent for
industrial  applications  such as the  manufacture of charcoal  briquettes.  The
Company does not produce low grade or premium wheat starch into alcohol,  animal
feed and carbon  dioxide.  Premium wheat starch  differs from corn starch in its
granular structure, color, granular size and name identification.

     A substantial portion of the Company's premium wheat starch is also altered
during  processing  to produce  certain  unique  modified  and  specialty  wheat
starches designed for special applications in niche markets.

     The Company's premium wheat starches are used primarily as an additive in a
variety of food products to affect their appearance, texture, tenderness, taste,
palatability, cooking temperature, stability, viscosity, binding and freeze-thaw
characteristics.  Important  physical  properties  contributed  by wheat  starch
include  whiteness,  clean  flavor,  viscosity  and texture.  For  example,  the
Company's  starches are used to improve the taste and mouth feel of cream puffs,
eclairs,  puddings,  pie fillings,  breadings and batters;  to improve the size,
symmetry and taste of angel food cakes; to alter the viscosity of soups,  sauces
and gravies;  to improve the freeze-thaw  stability and shelf life of fruit pies
and other frozen foods; to improve moisture retention in microwavable foods; and
to add stability and to improve  spreadability in frostings,  mixes,  glazes and
sugar coatings.  The Company's modified and specialty starches are also sold for
a number of  industrial  and non-food  applications,  which  include uses in the
manufacture of adhesives, paper coatings and carbonless paper.

     The Company's  premium wheat starch is sold  nationwide to food  processors
and distributors and for export,  with the bulk of international  sales going to
Japan, Mexico and East Asian countries which do not have wheat-based economies.

     The  Company  believes  that it is the largest  producer  of premium  wheat
starch in the United  States.  Although  wheat starch enjoys a relatively  small
portion of the total United  States starch  market,  the market is one which has
experienced substantial growth over the years. Growth in the wheat starch market
reflects a growing  appreciation for the unique  characteristics of wheat starch
which  provide it with a number of advantages  over corn and other  starches for
certain  baking  and other end  uses.  The  Company  has  developed  a number of
different  modified and  specialty  wheat  starches and continues to explore the
development of additional  starch products with the view to increasing  sales of
value added modified and specialty starches.

     Premium wheat starch competes  primarily with corn starch,  which dominates
the United  States  market.  Competition  is based upon price,  name,  color and
differing granular and chemical characteristics which affect the food product in
which it is used. Premium wheat starch prices usually enjoy a price premium over
corn  starches and low grade wheat  starches.  Wheat  starch price  fluctuations
generally track the  fluctuations in the corn starch market,  except in the case



of modified and specialty wheat  starches.  The wheat starch market also usually
permits  pricing  consistent  with costs which  affect the  industry in general,
including increased grain costs. The Company's strategy is to market its premium
wheat  starches in special  market  niches where the unique  characteristics  of
premium  wheat  starch or one of the  Company's  modified  and  specialty  wheat
starches are better suited to a customer's requirements for a specific use.

     Starch sales and  profitability  for 1999 were  relatively  flat with those
results  for 1998,  due  primarily  to a decline  in unit sales in the first two
quarters  of fiscal  1999 that was  recovered  in the second half of the year in
response to increased demand.

Alcohol Products

     The Company's  Atchison and Pekin plants process corn and milo,  mixed with
the starch slurry from gluten and starch processing operations,  into food grade
alcohol, fuel grade alcohol, animal feed and carbon dioxide.

     Food grade alcohol, or grain neutral spirits,  consists of beverage alcohol
and  industrial  food grade alcohol that are distilled to remove all  impurities
and all but  approximately  5% of the water  content to yield high  quality  190

                                        6

proof  alcohol.  Fuel grade  alcohol,  or  "ethanol,"  is a lower grade of grain
alcohol  that is  distilled  to remove  all  water to yield  200  proof  alcohol
suitable for blending with gasoline.

Food Grade Alcohol

     Beverage Alcohol.  Food grade beverage alcohol consists  primarily of grain
neutral spirits and gin. Grain neutral spirits is sold in bulk or processed into
vodka and gin and sold in bulk  quantities  at various proof  concentrations  to
bottlers and rectifiers, which further process the alcohol for sale to consumers
under numerous labels.

     The Company  believes that in terms of fiscal 1999 net sales,  it is one of
the two largest  bulk  sellers of grain  neutral  spirits,  vodka and gin in the
United  States.  The Company's  principal  competitors  in the beverage  alcohol
market are Grain  Processing  Company  of  Muscatine,  Iowa and  Archer  Daniels
Midland of Decatur, Illinois.  Beginning in 1997 competition in beverage markets
increased significantly as producers of fuel grade alcohol converted portions of
fuel grade production into food grade production. Competition is based primarily
upon  price  and  service,  and in the  case of gin,  formulation.  The  Company
believes that the centralized  location of its Illinois and Kansas  distilleries
and the  capacity  of its dual  production  facilities  combine to  provide  the
Company with a customer service advantage within the industry.

     Food Grade  Industrial  Alcohol.  Food grade  alcohol  which is not sold as
beverage  alcohol is  marketed  as food  grade  industrial  alcohol.  Food grade
industrial  alcohol is sold as an  ingredient  in foods (e.g.,  vinegar and food
flavorings), personal care products (e.g., hair sprays and deodorants), cleaning
solutions, biocides, insecticides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, and a variety of
other products. Although grain alcohol is chemically the same as petroleum-based



or synthetic alcohol,  certain customers prefer a natural  grain-based  alcohol.
Food  grade  industrial  alcohol  is sold in tank  truck or rail car  quantities
direct to a number of  industrial  processors  from both the  Atchison and Pekin
plants.

     The Company is a minor  competitor  in the total United  States  market for
food  grade  industrial  alcohol,  which  is  dominated  by  petroleum-based  or
synthetic alcohol.  Food grade industrial alcohol prices are normally consistent
with prices for synthetic industrial alcohol.

     Food grade  industrial and beverage alcohol sales declined by approximately
$13.4 million during 1998 due primarily to continuing  decreased  demand,  lower
selling  prices and increased  food grade  production  capacity  throughout  the
industry.  Although  the effects of  declining  sales were  partially  offset by
reduced  grain prices,  food grade  results for 1999 had a significant  negative
impact  on the  Company's  1999  profitability.  The  increased  industry-  wide
capacity for food grade alcohol is due to a large scale conversion of fuel grade
distillation  equipment  into food grade  production  because of an abundance of
fuel grade capacity that was  constructed in the early 1990s in  anticipation of
the implementation of Clean Air Act regulations  mandating ethanol use that were
subsequently reversed by court order.

Fuel Grade Alcohol

     Fuel grade  alcohol,  which is commonly  referred  to as  ethanol,  is sold
primarily for blending with gasoline to increase the oxygen and octane levels of
the gasoline. As an octane enhancer,  ethanol can serve as a substitute for lead
and petroleum based octane enhancers. As an oxygenate,  ethanol permits gasoline
to meet certain environmental  regulations and laws that regulate air quality by
reducing carbon  monoxide,  hydrocarbon  particulates  and other toxic emissions
generated from the burning of gasoline  ("toxics").  Because ethanol is produced
from grain, a renewable resource, it also provides a fuel alternative that tends
to reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil.

     Although  ethanol can be blended  directly with gasoline as an oxygenate to
enable it to reduce toxic air  emissions,  it also  increases the  volatility of
gasoline or its tendency to evaporate  and release  volatile  organic  compounds
("VOC's").  This latter  characteristic  has  precluded it from meeting  certain
Clean Air Act  requirements

                                        7

for  gasoline  that pertain to nine of the  smoggiest  U.S.  metropolitan  areas
during the summer months (May 1 through  September  15). As a  consequence,  the
demand for ethanol increases during the period from August through March of each
fiscal year as gasoline blenders acquire stocks for blending with gasoline to be
marketed in the period September 16 through April 30.


     The  cost of  producing  ethanol  has  historically  exceeded  the  cost of
producing  gasoline  and  gasoline  additives,  such as MTBE,  all of which  are
derived  from fossil  non-renewable  fuels such as  petroleum.  Accordingly,  to
encourage the production of ethanol for use in gasoline,  the Federal government
and  various  states  have  enacted  tax and other  incentives  designed to make
ethanol  competitive  with gasoline and gasoline  additives.  Under the internal
revenue  code,  and until the end of 2007,  gasoline  that has been  blended  in
qualifying  proportions  with ethanol  provide sellers of the blend with certain



income tax  credits  and excise tax  reductions  that  amount to up to $0.54 per
gallon of ethanol that is mixed with the gasoline (the "Federal Tax Credit").  A
mix of at least 10% ethanol by volume is required to receive the maximum credit.
Although  the Federal Tax Credit is not directly  available  to the Company,  it
allows the Company to sell its ethanol at prices competitive with less expensive
additives and gasoline.  From time to time legislation is proposed to eliminate,
reduce  or  extend  the  tax  benefits  enjoyed  by the  ethanol  industry,  and
indirectly by producers of the grain that is converted into ethanol. During 1998
legislation  was enacted that extended the credit through 2007,  with the credit
being reduced to $0.51 per gallon beginning in 2005.

     The Kansas Qualified  Agricultural  Ethyl Alcohol Producer  Incentive Fund,
which  expires in 2001,  provides  incentives  for sales of ethanol  produced in
Kansas to gasoline blenders. Fiscal 1999 payments to the Company out of the fund
totaled  $365,000 for the ethanol  produced by the Company at the Atchison plant
during that year.

     The fuel grade alcohol market is dominated by Archer Daniels Midland,  with
the  Company's  being the  smaller of a few other  larger  second  tier  ethanol
producers.  The Company  competes with other  producers of fuel grade alcohol on
the basis of price and delivery service.

     Fuel grade alcohol sales  increased by 6.5 % during 1999 as demand for food
grade  alcohol  continued  to  decline.  At the same  time fuel  alcohol  prices
continued to decrease due to continued excess industry-wide  capacity.  Although
grain costs also  remained  low,  the drop in fuel alcohol  prices  continued to
negatively impact the Company's overall profitability.

Alcohol By-Products

     The  bulk  of  fiscal  1999  sales  of  alcohol  by-products  consisted  of
distillers feeds.  Distillers feeds are the residue of corn, milo and wheat from
alcohol  processing  operations.  The  residue  is dried and sold  primarily  to
processors of animal feeds as a high protein additive. The Company competes with
other  distillers  of alcohol as well as a number of other  producers  of animal
food additives in the sale of distillers feeds and mill feeds.

     The balance of alcohol  by-products  consists  primarily of carbon dioxide.
During the  production of alcohol,  the Company traps carbon dioxide gas that is
emitted in the fermentation  process. The gas is purchased and liquefied on site
by two  principal  customers,  one at the  Atchison  Plant  and one at the Pekin
Plant, who own and operate the carbon dioxide  processing and storage  equipment
under long term contracts with the Company. The liquefied gas is resold by these
processors  to a variety of  industrial  customers  and  producers of carbonated
beverages.

     Sales of alcohol by-products during fiscal 1999 declined by 24% relative to
1998 sales, due primarily to lower selling prices that resulted from lower grain
prices.

Flour and Other Mill Products

     The  Company  owns and  operates a flour mill at the  Atchison  plant.  The
mill's  output of flour is used  internally  to  satisfy a  majority  of the raw
material  needed for the  production  of vital wheat  gluten and  premium  wheat
starch.
                                        8


     In addition to flour,  the wheat milling  process  generates  mill feeds or
midds. Midds are sold to processors of animal feeds as a feed additive.

Transportation

     The Company's  output is transported to customers by truck,  rail and barge
transportation  equipment,  most of which is provided by common carriers through
arrangements made by the Company.  The Company leases 389 rail cars which may be
dispatched  on short notice.  Shipment by barge is offered to customers  through
barge loading facilities on the Missouri and Illinois Rivers. The barge facility
on the  Illinois  River is adjacent to the Pekin plant and owned by the Company.
The facility on the Missouri River, which is not company-owned, is approximately
one mile from the Atchison plant.

Raw Materials

     The Company's principal raw material is grain, consisting of wheat which is
processed  into all of the  Company's  products  and corn  and  milo  which  are
processed  into  alcohol,  animal feed and carbon  dioxide.  Grain is  purchased
directly from surrounding  farms,  primarily at harvest time, and throughout the
year  from  grain  elevators.  Historically,  the cost of grain  is  subject  to
substantial  fluctuations  depending  upon a  number  of  factors  which  affect
commodity  prices in general,  including crop  conditions,  weather,  government
programs, and purchases by foreign governments.  Such variations in grain prices
have had and are expected to have from time to time significant  adverse effects
on the results of the Company's  operations.  This is primarily due to a variety
of factors.  It has been difficult in recent years for the Company to compensate
for  increases  in grain costs  through  adjustments  in prices  charged for the
Company's  vital wheat gluten due to the surge of Subsidized  E.U.  wheat gluten
whose  artificially  low prices are not  affected  by such costs.  Although  the
three-year  quota on imports of wheat  gluten is  beginning  to  alleviate  this
condition,  no assurance can be given that the effect will be uniform throughout
each crop year  covered by the quota or that the market will  otherwise  adjust.
For example,  violations  of the quota by the E.U.  during the first year of the
quota  significantly  reduced the beneficial effects of the quota in 1999. Also,
fuel grade alcohol prices, which historically have tracked the cost of gasoline,
do not  usually  adjust to rising  grain  costs.  Excess  industry-wide  alcohol
capacities have also depressed alcohol selling prices below historically  normal
margins.

     During  fiscal  1999  Kansas  City  market  prices for grain  continued  to
decline.  At June 30, 1999,  the price per average  bushel for corn and milo was
$2.02 and the price for a bushel of wheat was $2.67.  At June 30, 1998, corn and
milo  average  market  prices were $2.40 and the average  wheat price was $3.05.
Although a return to more  normal  grain  prices  contributed  to the  Company's
positive earnings in 1999, excess industry-wide  alcohol capacities continued to
restrict  the  ability  of the  company  to adjust  the price of its  alcohol to
compensate for grain and other production costs.


     The Company engages in the purchase of commodity  futures to hedge economic
risks associated with fluctuating grain and grain products prices. During fiscal
1999, the Company hedged  approximately 34% of corn processed compared to 23% in
1998 and 42% of wheat  processed  compared  to 37% in 1998.  The  contracts  are
accounted  for as hedges and,  accordingly,  gains and losses are  deferred  and
recognized in cost of sales as part of contract  costs when  contract  positions
are settled and related  products are sold.  For fiscal 1999, raw material costs
included a net loss of  approximately  $3.4 million on contracts  settled during



the year compared to a net gain of $243,000 for fiscal 1998.  See  "Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations -
Market Risk" in the Annual Report.

Energy

     Because energy  comprises a major cost of operations,  the Company seeks to
assure  the  availability  of  fuels  for  the  Pekin  and  Atchison  plants  at
competitive prices.

     All of the  natural  gas demand for the  Atchison  plant is procured in the
open market from various suppliers. Depending on existing market conditions, the
Company has the ability to transport  the gas through a gas pipeline  owned by a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company.  The Atchison  boilers may also be oil
fired.
                                        9

     In 1995 the Company entered into a long-term  arrangement  with an Illinois
utility to satisfy  the energy  needs of the Pekin,  Illinois  plant.  Under the
arrangement,  the  utility  constructed  a new  gas  fired  electric  and  steam
generating  facility on ground leased from the Company.  The utility sells steam
and electricity to the Company,  generally at fixed rates, using gas procured by
the Company.

Employees

     As of June 30, 1999, the Company had 426 employees, 277 of whom are covered
by two collective  bargaining  agreements  with one labor union.  One agreement,
that expires on August 31, 2002, covers 181 employees at the Atchison Plant. The
other  agreement,  that  expires in November,  2000,  covers 96 employees at the
Pekin plant. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had 421 employees.

     The Company  considers its relations  with its personnel to be good and has
not experienced a work stoppage since 1978.

Regulation

     The  Company's  beverage  and  industrial  alcohol  business  is subject to
regulation  by the Bureau of Alcohol,  Tobacco  and  Firearms  ("BATF")  and the
alcoholic  beverage  agencies  in  the  States  of  Kansas  and  Illinois.  Such
regulation  covers virtually every aspect of the Company's  alcohol  operations,
including production facilities,  marketing,  pricing, labeling,  packaging, and
advertising.  Food  products are also subject to regulation by the Food and Drug
Administration.  BATF regulation includes periodic BATF audits of all production
reports,  shipping  documents,  and  licenses to assure that proper  records are
maintained.  The Company is also required to file and maintain  monthly  reports
with the BATF of alcohol inventories and shipments.

     The  Company  is  subject  to  extensive  environmental  regulation  at the
federal, state and local levels. The regulations include the regulation of water
usage,  waste water  discharge,  disposal of hazardous  wastes and  emissions of
volatile  organic  compounds,  particulates  and other  substances into the air.
Under these  regulations the Company is required to obtain operating permits and
to submit  periodic  reports to  regulating  agencies.  During 1997 the Illinois
Environmental  Protection  Agency  commenced an action  against the Company with
respect to alleged  noncompliance  of the Pekin  Plant with  certain air quality
regulations. This action is further described under "Item 3. Legal Proceedings."



The Company has submitted an application to the Agency for  construction  of new
pollution  control equipment that is expected to bring emissions into compliance
with all applicable regulations.


Item 2.  Properties.

     The Company maintains the following principal plants, warehouses and office

covenants  against the pledging of such  facilities to others.  The Company also

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings.

     On April 13,  1997,  an  administrative  proceeding  was filed  against the
Company's  Illinois  subsidiary before the Illinois Pollution Control Board (the
"Board"),   by  the  Illinois   Attorney  General  on  behalf  of  the  Illinois
Environmental  Protection Agency (the "Agency").  The proceeding  relates to the
Company's  installation  and  operation  of two feed  dryers at its  facility in
Pekin,  Illinois.  The Complaint  alleges that the dryers exceed the particulate
emission  limitations  specified in the construction permits for the units; that
the dryers are being operated  without  operating  permits;  and that the dryers
were  constructed  without  a  Prevention  of  Significant  Deterioration  (PSD)
construction  permit setting forth a best available control technology  ("BACT")
emission  limitation.  The Complaint seeks a Board order ordering the Company to
cease and desist from  violations of the Illinois  Environmental  Protection Act
and associated  regulations,  assessing a civil penalty,  and awarding the state
its attorneys fees.




     The Company has filed an Answer before the Board  admitting that compliance
tests have shown particulate  emissions in excess of the limits set forth in the
construction permits, but denying the remainder of the State's claims. Since the
time  operational  problems were discovered with the dryers'  pollution  control
equipment,  the Company has been conferring and  negotiating  with the Agency on
the issues  involved in the Complaint.  The Company has submitted an application
to the  Agency for  construction  of new  pollution  control  equipment  for the
dryers,  at an estimated cost of approximately  $1.0 million.  It is anticipated
that the new equipment will bring  emissions into compliance with all applicable
limitations.  The Company is currently  engaged in supplementing its application
with additional information that has been requested by the Agency.

     Proceedings  under the Complaint are being held in abeyance by agreement of
the  parties  pending  completion  of a review  by the  State  of the  Company's
application  and  completion  of  the  Company's  compliance  activities.   Once
compliance has been achieved,  the Company anticipates  negotiating a settlement
of the  remainder  of the  State's  claims.  Based  on the  circumstances  and a
preliminary  review of  decisions  by the Board in air  pollution  matters,  the
Company  does not  believe  that any such  settlement  will be  material  to the
business or financial condition of the Company.

     There are no other legal proceedings  pending as of June 30, 1999 which the
Company believes to be material. Legal proceedings which are pending,  including
the  proceeding  with the Illinois  Environmental  Protection  Agency  described
above,  are believed by the Company to consist of matters  normally  incident to
the business conducted by the Company and taken together do not appear material.

Item 4.  Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
