NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 1995
audited financial statements for Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc.  The
results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. ("Parent") and it's wholly-owned
subsidiaries AFDI, Inc, (dba "Focaccia di Genova") and Alborough, Inc. (dba
"Emilia Romagna").

     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments (Treasury Bills) purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  

     The calculation of primary earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period plus, when their
effect is dilutive, additional shares assuming the exercise of certain vested
and non-vested stock options and warrants reduced by the number of shares
which could be repurchased with proceeds.  Fully dilutive earnings per share
are not presented as their effect for the quarter ended September 30, 1995,
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, and September 30, 1995, was anti-
dilutive.

     The Company acquired a subsidiary (Alborough, Inc.) during May, 1996. 
The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $609,938 as part of the
purchase.  The Company is amortizing the goodwill over 15 years, on a straight
line basis.

     The Company is amortizing organizational cost, incurred to organize the
Company's subsidiary AFDI, Inc., over 60 months using the straight line
method.

     On May 20, 1996, the Company acquired Alborough, Inc., (dba Emilia
Romagna).  The Company recorded property and equipment acquired at the fair
market value of these assets on May 20, 1996.  Above amounts include the
property and equipment acquired through the purchase of Alborough, Inc.

NOTE 6 - LINES OF CREDIT

     In September of 1994, the Company obtained two lines of credit totaling
$1,250,000 with Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, California.  These two
lines consisted of a $500,000 business loan line of credit and a $750,000
equipment loan line of credit.  

     The $500,000 business loan provides for interest at prime plus .75% with
a maturity date of September 10, 1997.  At September 30, 1996, there were no
amounts borrowed against this line.  This line of credit is secured by the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable and equipment.  

     The $750,000 equipment loan line of credit provided for interest at prime
plus .75% with a conversion date of September 15, 1997 to an installment

     Deferred Tax Liability                (110,000)           (110,000)

     Management estimates that the Company will generate adequate net profits
to offset net operating loss carryforwards prior to the expiration of the net
operating loss carryforwards.  Consequently, a deferred tax asset valuation
allowance has not been accrued.

NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company received
$2,567,321 from the exercise of 1,712,682 warrants net of offering costs prior
to their expiration on March 18, 1996.  The Company also received $81,504 from
the exercise of underwriters warrants to purchase 21,562 units, each unit
consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant.  The Company
received $46,250 from the issuance of 50,000 shares at $.925 in connection
with options exercised, under the 1993 Stock Option Plan.  Additionally, the
Company issued 10,000 shares of restricted stock valued at $11,180 to an
employee and 20,000 shares of restricted stock valued at $25,610 to a
consultant.  These stock issuances were recorded as compensation expense.

NOTE 10 - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY

     On May 20, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
of Alborough, Inc., (dba Emilia Romagna), in a business combination accounted
for as a purchase.  Alborough, Inc. is primarily engaged in the manufacturing
of gourmet Italian foods.  The results of operations of Alborough, Inc. is
included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of
acquisition.  The total cost of the acquisition was $738,779, which exceeded
the fair market value of the net assets of Alborough, Inc. by $609,938.  The
excess is recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 15 years.  The
purchase price could increase significantly depending upon Alborough, Inc.
meeting certain earnings performance criteria over the next 3 years.  The
agreement between the parties provides that additional payments may be earned
by Alborough, Inc's previous shareholders based on a percentage of gross
margin attributable to sales made to specified customers.  The sales must be
made during a specified period of time and subject to certain minimum sales
levels being achieved.

     The following summarized proforma (unaudited) information assumes the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995:

   ITEM II:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 V. QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
 
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $3,687,365 as compared
to $3,188,155 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  For the first nine
months of 1996, the Company reported sales of $10,601,569 as compared to
$9,413,291 for the first nine months of 1995, a 13% increase.  Included in
this increase were sales of new products.  Both pesto and meatball product
lines had increased sales for the quarter and the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to September 30, 1995.  Pesto sales increased mainly in
the foodservice area.  Expansion of the customer base to the East Coast market
and continuing strength in the West Coast facilitated this growth.  A slight
increase in the meatball product line sales was due to increased retail and
club store sales.  The sales increases in the pesto and meatball product lines
were partially offset by a decrease in sales of the Company's pasta products
due to the decision of a club store customer to buy its pasta products from a
different manufacturer.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 65.1% for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 to 69.1% for the quarter ended September 30,
1996.  Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 64.9%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 67% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  This increase was primarily due to a change in the
product mix.  The change in the product mix was the result of purchasing a new
subsidiary (Alborough, Inc.) and opening the Company's first quick service
Italian restaurant (AFDI, Inc.).  The new products of these two subsidiaries
have lower margins than some of the Company's other products.  Additionally,
decreased pasta sales contributed to a higher percentage for cost of goods
sold, due to fixed costs being incurred but not absorbed by sales.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were approximately 26.5% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 20.6% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  Operating expenses for the first nine months of
1996 were 25.7% as compared to 24.4% for the first nine months of 1995.  The
dollar amount of operating expenses increased from $656,802 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 to $977,144 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 
Operating expenses increased from $2,293,834 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $2,726,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
The increases in the dollar amounts and percentages of net sales for the
quarter and nine months are primarily attributable to the inclusion of the two
new subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements in 1996.  The new
subsidiaries resulted in most of the increases in the general and
administrative expense.  Salaries increased due to additional personnel at
Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc., and the additional personnel at the two
subsidiaries.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the
advertising, demonstrations, promotions, and slotting allowances expense for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease in this expense was
due to a reduced need to provide in-store merchandising support
(demonstrations) in the club stores.

QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 V. QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net income was $141,557 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, as compared
to $288,577 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  For the first nine
months ended September 30, 1996, net income was $577,280 as compared to
$659,078 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease in net
income for the quarter is primarily due to the start-up of operations of AFDI,
Inc., and the operations of Alborough, Inc.  The Company incurred costs prior
to opening its first quick service Italian restaurant.  These were expensed
when the operations of the restaurant commenced.  Additionally, the operations
of the two new subsidiaries during the third quarter resulted in losses.  For
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the combined net loss for the two
subsidiaries amounted to $160,115.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1996, the combined net loss amounted to $236,517.  Consequently, the parent's
net income was $301,672 for the quarter and $813,797 for the nine months
ending September 30, 1996, respectively, prior to consolidating the net loss
of the two subsidiaries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $7,575,271, an
increase of $2,058,125 from December 31, 1995.  The increase is primarily
attributable to proceeds received from stock warrant exercises.  Current
assets included $6,587,897 in cash and cash equivalents, U.S. treasury bills,
and accounts receivable.  Management believes that this level of working
capital is adequate to meet anticipated needs for liquidity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash provided by operating
activities of the Company amounted to $967,240.  This was primarily a result
of the net income from continuing operations, a decrease in accounts
receivable and a reduction in the deferred tax asset.  

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company received $2,567,321 from the
exercise of 1,712,682 warrants net of offering costs and $81,504 from the
exercise 21,562 of underwriter units.

In September 1994, the Company obtained two lines of credit totaling
$1,250,000 with Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, California.  These two
lines consisted of a $500,000 business loan line of credit and a $750,000
equipment loan line of credit.  The $500,000 business loan provides for
interest at prime plus .75% with a maturity date of September 10, 1997.  The
$750,000 equipment loan line of credit provides for interest at prime plus
 .75% with a conversion date of September 15, 1997, to an installment equipment
loan.  At September 30, 1996, there were no amounts borrowed against these
lines.  The purpose for obtaining both lines of credit was to afford the
Company greater cash liquidity.
