             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               March 31, 1999
                                (Unaudited)

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 December 31,
1998 audited financial statements and notes thereto for Armanino Foods of
Distinction, Inc.  The results of operations for the periods ended March 31,
1999 and 1998 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 dormant
subsidiary AFDI, Inc.

     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 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.
 
     Earnings/(Loss) Per Share - The Company calculates earnings per share in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128
"Earnings Per Share," which requires the Company to present basic and diluted
earnings per share.  The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.  The
computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of outstanding common shares during the year 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 purchased from the proceeds.

     The weighted average common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding
for purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share was as follows:

NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT

     As of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had $0 outstanding
on a $500,000 business line of credit.  The line of credit accrues interest at
prime plus .75%.  The line of credit matures in September 1999, and is secured
by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

     As of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 the net deferred tax assets and
liabilities consisted of the following:

                                      March 31,     December 31,
                                        1999           1998
                                      ---------     -----------
     Current deferred tax asset       $ 622,474      $ 606,000
     Deferred Tax Liability            (321,000)      (321,000)

     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 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     As of March 31, 1999, the Company had 374,490 outstanding stock options to
purchase the Company's stock at prices ranging from $4.63 to $10.50 per share to
employees, directors and a consultant, expiring on January 28, 2000 through
March 25, 2008.

NOTE 8 - 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. was 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 the gross margin attributable to sales
made to certain specified customers over the 3-year period subsequent to the
consummation of the purchase agreement.  The agreement between the parties
provides that additional payments may be earned by Alborough, Inc.'s former
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.  As of March 31, 1999, no
additional payments have been made to Alborough Inc.'s former shareholders as
minimum sales to the specified customers had not been achieved.  The Company
does not anticipate that any additional payments will need to be made.

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

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 V. QUARTER ENDED MARCH  31, 1998

     Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $2,540,873, as compared
to $3,723,423 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The decrease in sales is
primarily attributable to lower sales of the Company's meatball and entree
product lines.  The decline in the meatball product line sales was due to loss
of sales to a club-store customer.  The entree product line sales decrease was
due to the Company ceasing production for a co-pack customer.  The Company
continues to focus its efforts on expanding its customer base for all of its
products through promotional programs and an expanded sale force.

     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 77% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 to 66% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
decrease in this percentage for the current quarter is due to the shift in the
product mix due to lower meatball and entree product line sales which carried
lower margins than both the pesto and the pasta product lines.

     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were approximately 36% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 27% for the quarter ended March
31, 1998. The increase in this percentage for the quarter is primarily due to
lower sales for the quarter ended March 31,1999.  In absolute dollars, general
and administrative expenses decreased for the first quarter.  This decrease can
be attributed to various expenses in the category. Some of the larger decreases
in this category included outside temporary services and art and label design
expense.  Salaries decreased due to a management position being eliminated.
Commissions decreased due to the decrease in meatball sales.

     Net loss was $(24,711) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to
$(71,893) for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The decrease in net loss for
the quarter was due to ceasing production of entree products for a co-pack
customer.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $4,989,229, an
increase of $6,567 from December 31, 1998.  Current assets included $3,620,972
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 three months ended March 31, 1999, cash provided by operating
activities of the Company amounted to $325,225.

     On September 8, 1998, the Company renewed its $500,000 business loan line
of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, in San Francisco, California.  This loan
provides for interest at prime plus .75% with a maturity date of September 10,
1999. At March 31, 1999, the Company had $0 outstanding under this line.  The
purpose of obtaining this line of credit is to afford the Company greater cash
liquidity and management of its cash investments.

     On May 20, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Alborough, Inc. (dba Emilia Romagna).  The total cost of the acquisition was
$738,779 including professional fees paid in relation to the acquisition.
Additionally, the terms of the agreement include an "earn-out" formula which
provides for payments to Alborough shareholders over a three-year period based
on certain performance criteria established.  The purchase price could increase

                                     9
<PAGE>

<PAGE>
significantly depending upon Alborough, Inc. meeting certain earnings
performance criteria over the 3-year period subsequent to the consummation of
the purchase agreement.  The agreement between the parties provides that
additional payments may be earned by Alborough, Inc. 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.  As of March 31, 1999, the Company has not
incurred any additional cost due to this provision.

     During the third and fourth quarters of 1998 the Company's board of
directors approved two stock buy-back plans to purchase a total of $1,250,000 of
the Company's Common Stock.  As of March 31, 1999, the Company had completed the
buy-back and paid approximately $1,250,000 for Common Stock purchased on the
open market.

     The Company presently has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     In 1998, the Company began assessing the various issues relating to the
year 2000.  During 1998 the Company upgraded its accounting application software
which has been certified by the manufacturer to be year 2000 compliant.  The
accounting software includes sales order, inventory, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, general ledger as well as other modules.

     The Company utilized an outside firm to evaluate its information technology
systems.  This outside firm performed the initial evaluation and testing of the
Company's internal network of LAN's, the payroll processing system and
production related processing equipment.  The outside firm is in the process of
compiling a report on these systems.  The report will contain recommendations on
any modifications the Company will need to make in order to be year 2000
compliant.

     The Company has incurred approximately $2,000 on upgrading software.
Approximately $4,000 had been spent on evaluating and testing current systems
during the fourth quarter of 1998.  Additional costs would involve purchasing
new computer equipment or converting parts in processing equipment.  The Company
will have estimates for these additional costs by May 31, 1999.

     The Company is planning to review its external relationships in order to
determine the impact which may arise from its dealings with customers, suppliers
and service providers.

     The Company sells to approximately 250 customers.  One customer accounts
for approximately 22% of total sales.  The Company is in the process of
analyzing systems in order to implement Electronic Data Interchange.  At the
present time this customer would be the only trading partner with E.D.I.
transactions.  Contact is ongoing with this customer in order to insure that
they will be year 2000 compliant.  Surveys will be sent to the remaining
customers by May 31, 1999 to attempt to determine the extent of their compliance
with the year 2000 issues.  The Company does not expect a material adverse
affect from any single customer in this group.  However, if a large number of
customers in this group ceased operations, the Company would be negatively
impacted.  Management is unable to quantify this risk at this time.

     The Company has not yet initiated formal contingency planning processes to
mitigate the risk to the Company if any vendors or customers are not prepared
for the year 2000.  The Company intends to complete this process by June 30,
1999.

                                     10

<PAGE>
     The Company anticipates completion of the year 2000 project by the end of
the second quarter of 1999.  There is considerable work remaining and unforeseen
difficulties may adversely affect the Company's ability to complete its systems
modifications correctly, completely, on time or within its cost estimates.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that third parties that the Company
deals with will resolve their year 2000 issues completely and timely.  Failure
to complete the year 2000 project on time could have a material adverse affect
on future operating results and financial condition.
