Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

      On August 25, 1998, Technology Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (the "Company")
sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities relating to its
Seasoning Division, located in Milford, Ohio (the "Division") to Mane-Seafla,
Inc. (the "Purchaser"), a subsidiary of Mane USA, Inc., for $5.5 million in
cash, less an aggregate of $1,003,454 in principal and interest assumed by the
Purchaser which was owed under a promissory note to a former director and
executive officer of the Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of
the Division in December 1995. Of the total purchase price paid, $275,000 is
being held in escrow until August 25, 2000 to secure certain indemnification
obligations of the Company (the "Escrow").

      The net cash proceeds from the Company's sale of the Division of
approximately $4.0 million, after deducting closing costs, was used to pay down
the Company's term loan and revolving credit facility with The Chase Manhattan
Bank.

      Prior to its sale by the Company, the Division represented approximately
25% of the Company's total assets and approximately 27% of the Company's net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998. In connection with the
transaction, the Company realized a net gain of approximately $1.1 million,
excluding a deferred gain of $275,000 relative to a reserve for certain
indemnification obligations pursuant to the Escrow.

      The Company hereby incorporates by reference herein the matters announced
in the Company's press release dated August 26, 1998 (such press release is
filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto).
