              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 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
September 30, 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 1 - CONTINUED

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company had 352,740
stock options that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future
that were not included in the diluted computation because to do so would have
been antidilutive for the periods presented.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

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

     As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 the net deferred tax
assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

                                            September 30,    December 31,
                                                1999             1998
                                            -------------    ------------

     Current deferred tax asset               $ 377,908        $ 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 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company had 372,740 outstanding stock
options to purchase the Company's stock at prices ranging from $3.09 to $10.50
per share to employees, directors and a consultant, expiring on January 28,
2000 through August 3, 2009.

     During the nine months ended September 30,1999 the Company purchased
37,300 shares of its common stock on the open market for $113,458.

                      PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 V. QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 were $3,163,441, as
compared to $2,836,209 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, net sales were $8,666,770 as compared to
$10,325,714 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  The increase in
sales for the quarter is primarily attributed to an increase in the pesto
product line sales.  The decrease in sales for nine months 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 63.8% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to 59.8% for the quarter ended September
30, 1999.  Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from
70.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to 61.6% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in this percentage for the
current quarter and nine months is due to the shift in the Company's overall
product mix.  The mix shifted 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 31%
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 27% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998.  Operating expenses for the first nine months of
1999 were 33% as compared to 26.7% for the first nine months of 1998.  The
increase in this percentage both for the quarter and nine months is primarily
due to an increase in salaries and advertising/promotional expenses.  Salaries
increased due to a couple of vacant positions being filled.  Additionally the
Company accrued a portion of the estimated bonus for 1999 compared to no bonus
being accrued in 1998.  Advertising and promotional dollars spent both for the
quarter and the nine months increased due to various distributor and retail
programs being utilized by the sales department.

     Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 was $190,008 compared to $181,496 for the quarter ended September 30,
1998.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $342,139
compared to $223,090 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase in net income was primarily due to lower costs due to ceasing
production of entree products for a co-pack customer.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $5,579,249, an
increase of $596,587 from December 31, 1998.  Current assets included
$4,524,435 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, 1999, cash provided by
operating activities of the Company amounted to $1,170,079.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

     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 February 11, 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.  This firm has provided a
written report indicating that the Company's systems are compliant with the
year 2000.

     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.  The Company anticipates that there will
not be additional costs associated with any internal system modifications,
other than routine system upgrades.

     The Company is reviewing 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.  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 have been sent to the remaining customers 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
before December 31, 1999.

     The Company anticipates completion of the year 2000 project by the end of
the fourth quarter of 1999.  However, there can be no assurance that third
parties 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.
