Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (NASDAQ Small Cap Symbol: ARMF) announced Friday (20 July) net sales, operating and net income, and earnings per share for the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2001.
Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 amounted to $3,559,299 as compared to $3,898,955 for the same period in 2000. This quarterly sales decrease appears primarily attributable to timing differences of sales which are expected to materialize in the third and fourth quarters.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the second quarter of 2001 was $257,138 compared to $528,581 for the second quarter of 2000.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $398,216 as compared to $705,928 for the comparable period a year ago.
Net income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $143,997 and $223,001 respectively, compared to $317,149 and $423,557 for the like quarter and six months of a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share, after giving effect to the recent 100% stock dividend, amounted to $0.05 and $0.07 for the quarter and six months, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.09 and $0.12 for the same periods in 2000.
William J. Armanino, president and CEO of Armanino Foods, said, “Our June month was disappointing as expected orders from some our main customers did not arrive when expected and are just now starting to come in. We believe the downturn is cyclical and short-lived as our forecasts for the remainder of the year are strong. Our second quarter results were also impacted by our investment in heavy promotion and marketing of our products from which we expect sales to materialize in future periods.”
Armanino continued, “We have just started shipping our new product line of cooked meat and chicken products as well as continuing sales of our own branded meatball line. We are currently soliciting a significant number of meat distributors in the Western United States and anticipate that our superior quality products and excellent service should allow us to make this new line of products a success. We do not believe, however, that sales of these new products will be significant contributors to our bottom line until later this year and into next year.”
