Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the third quarter of 2001 was $421,946 compared to $368,423 for the third quarter of 2000.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $820,162 as compared to $1,074,351, a decrease of 24%.

William J. Armanino, President and CEO of Armanino Foods said, “Our third quarter achievements are among the most important we have had. First, we launched the product lines acquired from Pan Ready Foods and successfully retained a large portion of its customer base. We expect these product lines to contribute significantly to revenues. The acquisition of these product lines has allowed us to expand our marketing to food service customers in the Western United States. Secondly, our pesto sauces and pasta products have recently been approved by a number of retail chains in Northern and Southern California as well as Arizona. They will be appearing in a number of supermarket freezer cases toward the end of the fourth quarter and beginning of the first quarter of 2002. In order to meet the high expectation of the major chains, we will be launching numerous demo’s of our products and commencing in-store couponing to promote brand awareness and build and solidify customer business. We anticipate strong revenue growth over the next quarters as we roll out our products to these new supermarket chain customers. Thirdly, as previously announced, we have set aside $250,000 to repurchase our common stock so that we can be ready to take advantage of market conditions as they present themselves. We continue to believe that the company’s stock represents an excellent value.”
Armanino concluded, “We believe we have now put into place the building block for significant growth in sales and earnings in the future.”
