            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               June 30, 2000

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, 1999 audited financial statements and notes thereto for Armanino
Foods of Distinction, Inc.  The results of operations for the periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 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 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 per share was as follows:

                                             June 30, 2000   June 30, 1999

                       PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM II:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 V. QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999

     Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $3,898,955 compared to
$2,962,456 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  For the six months ended June
30, 2000 net sales were $6,988,134 as compared to $5,503,329 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.  Increased sales were experienced across all of
the Company's product lines.  Pesto showed the strongest increase in terms of
total dollar sales.  The increases in the pesto product line sales were the
result of programs implemented by the Company offering incentives to brokers
and distributors for achieving specified increases over prior year sales.
Additionally, new uses for pesto sauces added foodservice accounts during the
first six months.  The pasta product line showed a strong increase primarily
due to a co-pack customer.  Sales of meatballs were strong in the retail
marketplace.  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 59.5% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to 57.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 62.6% for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to 60.1% for the six months ended June 30,
2000.  The decrease in this percentage for the current quarter and six months
is due to a shift in the product mix between the product lines and between the
retail and foodservice divisions.  The product mix shifted from the meatball
product line to the more profitable pasta product line.  Additionally, within
the pesto product line, there was a shift in the mix from the retail items to
the more profitable foodservice items.

     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 29.8% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 31.9% for the quarter ended June
30, 1999.  Operating expenses for the first six months of 2000 were 31.1% as
compared to 34.0% for the first six months of 1999.  The decrease in this
percentage for the quarter and six months is primarily due to the increase in
sales.  Salary expense increased due to the hiring of personnel to fill vacant
positions.  Additionally, the Company accrued a portion of the estimated bonus
pool for 2000 compared to no bonus being accrued in 1999.

     Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
was $317,149 compared to  a net income of $176,842 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999.   Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $423,557
compared to $152,131 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The increase in
net income was primarily due to increased pesto sauce sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $3,832,809, a
decrease of $1,712,248 from December 31, 1999.  The decrease in working
capital is primarily due to the purchase of common stock, totaling $1,320,000,
from an affiliate of a former director.  Additionally, accrual of a special
dividend of $392,151 contributed to the decrease in working capital.  Current
assets included $3,665,068 in cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
Management believes that this level of working capital is adequate to meet
anticipated needs for liquidity.

                       PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM II:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash provided by operating
activities of the Company amounted to $1,042,551.

     During 1999 the Company's board of directors approved a stock buy-back
plan to purchase the Company's common stock totalling $800,000.  As of June
30, 2000, the Company had paid approximately $782,774 for common stock
purchased on the open market.

     During May 2000, the Company purchased 220,000 shares at $6.00 per share
in a private transaction from an  affiliate of a former director.

     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 has 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 provided a
written report indicating that the Company's systems were year 2000 compliant.

     The Company has incurred approximately $2,000 on upgrading software.
Approximately $4,000 was spent on evaluating and testing current systems
during the fourth quarter of 1998.  During 1999, the Company incurred
approximately $8,000 to upgrade its hardware systems.

     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 30% of total sales.  At the present time this customer  is
the only trading partner with E.D.I. transactions.  Contact is ongoing with
this customer to ensure that they are year 2000 compliant.  Surveys were 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.

     At the present time, the Company has not experienced any year 2000
related issues.  However, there can be no assurance that third parties the
Company deals with have resolved 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 of the
Company.
