For the thirteen weeks to 27 September, net income reached US$22,000 compared to $127,000 for the same period last year.


The company posted a 4% increase in net sales to $4.8m from last year. Sales increased in all product and most customer categories and were “positively impacted” by price increases that took effect in the second quarter of 2008.


For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods, Tofutti reported income before taxes of $97,000 and $647,000, respectively, as compared with $202,000 and $647,000 for the same periods in 2007.


Tofutti said its operating results continued to be negatively impacted as a result of new product start-up costs, including costs incurred at a new co-packaging location, increased marketing expenses and higher packaging charges.
