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
March 31, 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/(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:
                                                    March 31,      March 31,
                                                      2000           1999
                                                  -----------     -----------
Weighted average common shares outstanding
used in basic earnings per share for the
three months ending                                 1,828,905       1,958,266

                             OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 V. QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $3,089,179 compared
to $2,540,873 for the quarter ended March 31, 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.  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 66.3% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to 63.2% for the quarter ended March 31,
2000.  The decrease in this percentage for the current quarter and three
months is due to a shift in the product mix between the product lines and
between 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 mix from
the retail items to the more profitable foodservice items.

     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 32.6% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 36.4% for the quarter ended March
31, 1999.  The decrease in this percentage for the quarter 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.  Advertising and promotional expenses for the quarter
decreased due to different distributor and retail programs being utilized by
the sales department in the current year.

     Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 was $106,408 compared to  a net loss of $24,711 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999.    The increase in net income was primarily due to increased
pesto sauce sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $5,195,380, a
decrease of $349,677 from December 31, 1999.  Current assets included
$4,436,703 in cash, cash equivalents 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, 2000, cash provided by operating
activities of the Company amounted to $595,147.

     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 March
31, 2000, the Company had paid approximately $673,564 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 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.
