Suprema Specialties, Inc. (Nasdaq NMS: CHEZ) announces consolidated net sales and net income for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2001.


Net sales for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2001, increased 71% to approximately $130 million as compared to approximately $76 million for the same period in 2000. Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, increased 51% to approximately $420 million as compared to approximately $278 million for the same period in 2000.


The increase in net sales for the fourth quarter reflects an increase primarily in sales volume for foodservice products manufactured and processed by the Company, and to a lesser extent, the higher average selling price for cheese (as a result of the higher CME Block Cheddar Market, the commodity index on which bulk cheese prices are based.)


Net income for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2001, increased 42% to approximately $2.6 million as compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2000. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2001, increased 39% to approximately $8.9 million as compared to net income of approximately $6.4 million for fiscal 2000.


The increase in net income is due primarily to an increase in operating income, which is a result of increased sales volume.
