                       PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                     ARMANINO FOODS OF DISTINCTION, INC.
            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                June 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
June 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 recorded goodwill in the amount of $609,938 as part of the
purchase of Alborough, Inc. during May, 1996.  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:
                                                June 30,        June 30,
                                                  1999            1998
                                               -----------     -----------

Weighted average common shares outstanding
used in basic earnings per share for the
six months ending                               $1,945,081      $2,256,646

                                               ===========     ===========

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999 the company had 373,810 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 2 - Inventory

     Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market with cost being
determined on the first-in, first-out method and consisted of the following at
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998:

<PAGE>




Note 5 - Line of Credit

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

                                                 June 30,     December 31,
                                                  1999            1998
                                               -----------     -----------
     Current deferred tax asset                $   504,580     $ 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 June 30, 1999, the Company had 373,810 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 six months ended June 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 v. Quarter and Six Months Ended
June 30, 1998

     Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were $2,962,456 as compared
to $3,766,082 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  For the six months ended
June 30, 1999, net sales were $5,503,329 as compared to $7,489,505 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.  The decrease in sales for the quarter and six
months is primarily attributed to lower sales of the Company's meatball and
entree product line.  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 sales force.

     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 70% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to 59.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 73.5% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 to 62.6% for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  The decrease in this percentage for the current quarter and six 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 32%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 26.3% for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998.  Operating expenses for the first six months of 1999 were 34%
as compared to 26.6% for the first six months of 1998.  The increase in this
percentage for the quarter and six months is due to lower sales for the
respective periods.  In absolute dollars operating expenses were lower for
both the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 1999.  Included in
operating expenses were lower general and administrative expenses which
decreased due to lower art and label design expense, office expenses and
shareholder and investor expense.  Additionally salaries expense was lower due
to a management position being eliminated.  Commissions decreased due to lower
meatball sales and the utilization of sales personnel instead of outside
brokers in certain areas of the country.  Promotions increased due to various
distributor and retail programs being utilized by the sales department.

     Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 was $176,842 compared to
$113,487 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  Net income for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 was $152,131 compared to $41,594 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.  The increase in net income was due to lower costs due to
ceasing production of entree products for a co-pack customer.  Additionally,
lower operating expenses contributed to the increase in net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $5,277,436, an
increase of $294,774 from December 31, 1998.  Current assets included
$4,046,419 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.


                                     9
<PAGE>



     During the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash provided by operating
activities of the Company amounted to $679,830.

     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 June 30, 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.

     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.  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.  Based on
discussions with the outside consulting firm, the Company anticipates that
these additional costs will not be material.

     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.

                                     10
<PAGE>




     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
September 30, 1999.

     The Company anticipates completion of the year 2000 project by the end of
the third quarter of 1999.  However, 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.
