Sugar: Imperial Holly's principal product line is refined sugar. Imperial Holly produces and sells granulated white, brown and powdered sugar to wholesalers, retail grocers and food manufacturers. Sugar is sold in consumer packages and industrial packages and in bulk and liquid form.

By-Products: Holly's by-products from beet sugar processing (beet pulp and molasses) are sold primarily as livestock feeds to dairymen, livestock feeders, livestock feed processors and industrial customers. The major portion of the beet pulp and molasses produced from sugarbeet operations is sold during and shortly after sugar-making campaigns.

Beet Seed: Holly Hybrids, a division of Holly, develops and markets commercial seed to beet growers under contract to Holly as well as growers under contract to grow for other beet sugar processors. In addition, Spreckels is active in the development and production of commercial seed for use by California beet growers.

Inulin: In October 1995, the Company and Cooperatie Suiker Unie, U.A., a Netherlands sugar processor, formed Imperial-Suiker Unie, L.L.C. ("Imperial-Suiker Unie"). In connection with the creation of Imperial-Suiker Unie, the Company has agreed to provide certain services relating to the exclusive right to market inulin and inulin-based products, produced by Cooperatie Suiker Unie, in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Inulin is extracted from chicory roots by a process similar to sugar extraction from sugarbeets and is a natural carbohydrate with multifunctional properties with potential both as a nutritional additive and as a functional food ingredient.
