Commenting on the results, Al Falivene President and CEO of Lucille Farms, Inc. stated, “Our results were severely impacted by the historic low price of cheese thru most of the year and the higher cost of utilities at our plant. With our recent production improvements that are being implemented, along with our expanding retail line of branded cheeses, management believes a return to profitability for fiscal 2002 is a reality.”
