Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
The Company's revenues are derived principally from the sale of food products at
its two facilities. Revenues for the 2nd fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998,
increased 8% to $2,418,972 from $2,231,616 in the same period last year. Sauce
and fruit juice sales accounted for $160,000 of the total increase in Revenues.
Net income for the 2nd fiscal quarter ended March 31,1998, increased to $83,088
or $.02 diluted earnings per share from a loss of $36,595 or ($.01) diluted
earnings per share last year.
Revenues for the 6 month period ended March 31,1998, increased 12% to $4,711,621
from $4,202,178 in the same period last year. Net income for the 6 month period
ended March 31,1998, increased to $104,309 or $.03 diluted earnings per share
from a loss of $19,600 or ($.01) diluted earnings per share in the year ago
period. Operating expenses increased slightly due to additional salaries in the
laboratory and sales department. However the revenue increase more than offset
the additional expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's long and short term equity is sufficient to finance the
anticipated growth during the busier third and fourth quarters. The Company has
completed negotiating extensions of its credit lines to finance a continuing
increase in sales. Currently the company has borrowed only $540,000 of it's
$1,250,000 line of credit.
