 ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12b-25

PART III - NARRATIVE                                                            

     There are currently certain unresolved issues that affect the
presentation of the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ended August    
31, 1996 (the "Annual Report"). On October 30, 1996, the Company voluntarily    
pulled all products containing apple juice from store shelves when it was       
discovered that several people in the Seattle area who had been identified with 
the E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria had reportedly consumed Odwalla apple juice or     
Odwalla apple juice products. As a further precaution, Odwalla also recalled    
its carrot, organic carrot and vegetable cocktail juices, all of which are      
processed on the same line as the apple juice products. As a result of the      
product recall and the consequent diversion of significant amounts of the       
Company's executive and administrative resources, the Company has been unable   
to prepare its Annual Report on FOrm 10-K in a timely manner.The Company has    
used its best efforts to resolve these issues in order to file its Annual       
Report on Form 10-K in a timely manner; however, the Company is not able to     
resolve these issues in time to file the Form 10-K in a timely manner without   
unreasonable time or expense. The Company believes that these issues will be    
resolved within the 15-day extension period permitted by Rule 12b-25.
