PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Galaxy Foods Company (the "Company") was originally organized in Pennsylvania in
1980 under the name "Galaxy Cheese Company," and was subsequently reincorporated
in Delaware in 1987. After relocating to Orlando, Florida, the Company formally
changed its name to "Galaxy Foods Company." The Company is principally engaged
in developing, manufacturing and marketing of a variety of healthy cheese and
dairy related products, as well as other cheese alternatives. The healthy cheese
and dairy related products, sold under the Company's Veggie Slices, Veggy
Singles(R), formagg(R), Soyco(R), and Soymage(R) brand names, are low or no fat,
low or no cholesterol and lactose (milk sugar) free, vitamin and mineral
enriched, and contain one-third fewer calories and more calcium than
conventional cheese. These healthy cheese and dairy related products have the
flavor, appearance and texture of conventional cheeses and products that use
conventional cheeses, and are nutritionally equal or superior to such cheeses
and products. Some of the Company's cheese alternatives have either no or low
cholesterol but are not nutritionally equivalent or superior to conventional
cheeses. The Company also manufactures and markets non-branded and private label
process and blended cheese products, as well as branded soy-based, rice-based
and non-dairy cheese products. Most of these products are made using the
Company's formulas and processes, which are believed to be proprietary, and the
Company's state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.
In June 1992, the Company relocated to Orlando, Florida and began production and
shipment of its products directly from its Orlando plant to customers in each of
the Company's three principal markets--retail stores, such as supermarket chains
and health food stores; food service operations, such as restaurant chains,
cafeterias, hospitals and schools; and industrial food manufacturers of products
such as frozen pizza and desserts.
The Company's sales effort is primarily directed to retailers, to take advantage
of what it perceives to be an increased consumer emphasis on nutrition, by
offering a diverse line of low and no fat, low and no cholesterol and no lactose
cheese products. These include individually wrapped cheese slices, shredded
cheeses, grated toppings, deli cheeses, and soft cheeses like sour cream, cream
cheese and cheese sauces.
The Company's strategy for the future is to continue its primary marketing
efforts in the retail market to capitalize on the continuing interest among
consumers in reducing their cholesterol levels and saturated fat intake. The
Company believes that one of the leading contributors of cholesterol and
saturated fat in the American diet is cheese. By providing good tasting cheese
alternatives available in diverse forms and flavors, the Company believes it
will be able to attract an increasing number of worldwide consumers interested
in improving their health and eating habits.
PRODUCTS
VEGGIE(R) NATURES ALTERNATIVE - COMPLETE LINE OF HEALTHY DAIRY ALTERNATIVES -
The Company's flagship brand - a complete line of nutritious dairy alternative
products made with soy. All Veggie(R) products are low in fat, contain less
calories and are cholesterol and lactose free. The Veggie(R) product line
includes Veggie(R) Slices, Veggie(R) Chunks, Veggie(R) Cream Cheese,
2
<PAGE> 3
Veggie(R) Sour Cream, Veggie(R) Butter, Veggie(R) Honey Butter, Veggie(R) Grated
Toppings, Veggie(R) Milk, Veggie(R) Ice Cream, Veggie(R) Yogurt and Sweetened
Condensed Milk.
DAIRY FREE - SOYMAGE(R) VEGAN DAIRY ALTERNATIVES - Soymage(R) products were
developed for health food and specialty stores. These products are for consumers
who are allergic to dairy products, specifically milk protein and / or are
practicing a Vegan lifestyle. The Soymage(R) Vegan line is completely dairy
free, contains no animal fats and has no casein (skim milk protein). The
Soymage(R) Vegan product line includes: vegan cheese slices, vegan grated
toppings, vegan chunk cheese and vegan sour cream and cream cheese alternatives.
SOY FREE - SOY FREE DAIRY ALTERNATIVES MADE WITH RICE, OAT AND ALMOND -- The
Company has developed three dairy free alternatives made with organic brown
rice, almonds and oats. All three lines are low fat, cholesterol free, lactose
free, soy free and are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. These
products are formulated for people with soy allergy or just looking for
alternatives for conventional dairy products. The Soy Free product line
includes: Individual slices available in Rice, Oat and Almond, and chunks
available in Rice, Oat and Almond. Sour cream and butter are available as well.
VEGGY(R) - SOY NUTRITIOUS - SOY DAIRY ALTERNATIVES - These Veggy(R) products
offer the taste of cheese, are available in many forms, and are made from soy.
These products are low fat or fat free, and are lactose and cholesterol free.
The Veggy(R) product line are available in singles and chunks, and several
flavors are available.
WHOLESOME VALLEY ORGANIC(TM) - PRODUCTS MADE FROM ORGANIC Milk - These products
are processed cheese foods made from organic milk, and contain 1/3 less fat than
regular processed cheese food. The farmland, cows and feed are free from
pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones and chemicals.
PROCESSED CHEESE PRODUCTS - CONVENTIONAL CHEESE ALTERNATIVES - These products
are low in cholesterol and serve as an alternative to conventional dairy
cheeses. They are not nutritionally equivalent or superior to conventional
cheeses and may have more cholesterol than the Company's substitute cheeses.
The only branded product line, which accounts for more than 10% of sales for
fiscal 2000, is the Veggie line of products. Sales of this product line for
fiscal 2000 were $19,025,942 or 45% of net sales.
The characteristics of the Company's products vary according to the specific
requirements of individual customers within each market. In the retail market
today, the Company's products are formulated to meet the health concerns of
today's consumers. In the industrial food manufacturing and food service
markets, the Company's products are made according to the customer's
specifications as to color, texture, shred, melt, cohesiveness, stretch,
browning, fat retention, and protein, vitamin and mineral content. The Company's
products are manufactured in various forms, including individual slices, grated,
shredded, salad toppings, deli loaves, and
3
<PAGE> 4
multi-pound blocks and are available in several flavors, including, but not
limited to mozzarella, pepper-jack, cheddar, American, parmesan and Swiss.
DISTRIBUTION METHODS
The Company currently distributes all of its products by common carrier and
customer pick-up. The Company ships all its products from its warehouse and
cooler facility in Orlando, FL.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Most of the Company's products are made using the Company's formulas, processes
and manufacturing equipment, from four principal ingredients: casein, a pure
skim milk protein (instead of liquid milk which is used to make conventional
cheeses); soybean and canola oil; water; and natural flavorings. The Company's
Soymage(R) products are also made using the Company's formulas, processes and
manufacturing equipment from these principal ingredients, except that Soymage(R)
does not contain casein. All of these products are produced at a temperature
above that required for pasteurization. The Company's formulas and processes
were designed and developed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Angelo S.
Morini. The rights to these formulas, processes and equipment have been assigned
by Mr. Morini to the Company. Unlike the conventional cheese process, the
production of the Company's products does not require the costly and
time-consuming use of bacteria to curdle milk, nor does it require removal of
whey or product curing.
QUALITY CONTROL
Throughout the production process, the Company subjects its products to
stringent quality control inspections in order to satisfy federal and state
regulations for good manufacturing procedures, meet customer specifications, and
assure consistent product quality. A sample of each production run is tested for
various characteristics including microbiology, taste, color, acidity (Ph),
surface tension, melt, stretch and fat retention. Random samples are also
regularly sent to an independent laboratory to test for bacteria and other
micro-organisms.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company's
capital expenditures were approximately $4,405,000, $2,168,000 and $1,705,000,
respectively. This included capitalized interest of $490,442, $395,963 and
$234,772 during fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The substantial
capital expenditures for fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 were primarily due to the
purchase and construction of several large pieces of production equipment. This
equipment includes packaging equipment, modifications to the Pullman/loaf
machinery, and industrial blenders for powdered products. In addition, during
fiscal 2000 the Company increased its operations in Orlando, Florida to include
an 80,000 square foot warehouse and cooler facility.
SALES AND MARKETING
In the retail market, the Company markets its healthy products to supermarkets,
health food stores and club stores. The Company believes its healthy products
appeal to a wide range of consumers interested in lower fat, lower cholesterol,
lactose free products and other nutraceutical ingredients found in these
products and that this market will continue to expand. These products are sold
through distributors and directly to customers by in-house and territory sales
managers and a nationwide network of non-exclusive commission brokers. The
Company uses
4
<PAGE> 5
conventional marketing and public relations techniques for market introductions
such as promotional allowances and events, in-store consumer sampling, print
advertising and television.
In the food service market, the Company promotes its healthy formagg(R) cheese
products as well as lower cost cheese alternatives. In marketing its formagg(R)
line of products to food service customers, the Company emphasizes that
formagg(R) tastes like conventional cheese and has no or low fat, low or no
cholesterol, no lactose and more calcium than conventional cheeses. The Company
also promotes its food service products on the basis of their considerably
longer shelf life and microbiologically safer profile than conventional cheeses.
In both the food service and industrial markets, the Company sells directly to
its customers. In the retail market, the Company utilizes both its in-house
sales staff, territory managers and a nationwide network of nonexclusive
commission brokers to sell the Company's products.
SUPPLIERS
The Company purchases the ingredients used in its manufacturing operations,
i.e., casein, soybean and canola oil, enzymes and other ingredients, from
several sources, and it believes that all of these ingredients are readily
available from numerous suppliers. Due to more cost effective conditions in
other countries, suppliers from such countries are often able to supply casein
at prices lower than domestic suppliers. Accordingly, the Company currently
purchases its major ingredient, casein, from foreign suppliers. Because casein
purchased by the Company is imported, its availability is subject to a variety
of factors, including federal import regulations. The Company believes that it
could obtain casein at a higher cost from domestic sources if the foreign supply
of casein were reduced or terminated.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company purchased,
$8,105,407, $6,178,308 and $4,757,744, respectively, of casein, the principal
raw material used to manufacture the Company's products. The following table
sets forth the name of each supplier along with the percentage they supplied of
this ingredient which either alone, or together with their affiliates, provided
5% or more of such item to the Company, based on dollar volume purchased.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company conducts ongoing research to develop new varieties of cheese,
dessert products and dairy related products, in addition to developing new
flavors and customized formulations for existing products. For the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, expenditures for product development were
$226,436, $198,398 and $129,068 respectively. None of the research and
development costs are directly borne by the customer, instead they are
considered part of operating expenses.

TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
The Company owns several registered and unregistered trademarks, which are used
in the marketing and sale of the Company's products. The registered trademarks
are generally in effect for ten years from the date of their initial
registration, and may be renewed for successive ten-year periods thereafter. The
following table sets forth the registered and unregistered trademarks of the
Company, the country in which the mark is filed, and the renewal date for such
mark.

(1) Registration pending; however, the Company has received a Notice of
Allowance for this trademark.
Although the Company believes that its formulas and processes are proprietary,
the Company has not sought and does not intend to seek patent protection for
such technology. In not seeking patent protection, the Company is instead
relying on the complexity of its technology, on trade secrecy laws, and on
employee confidentiality agreements. The Company believes that its technology
has been independently developed and does not infringe on the patents or trade
secrets of others.
WORKING CAPITAL
Although not previously required due to the nature of the business, the Company
now maintains a supply of finished goods to meet the strict time deadlines of
selling product direct to retail supermarkets. In the past, the Company has sold
primarily through distributors and the required turnaround time for orders was
more lenient. With the conversion to direct sales for many of the Company's
customers, there is a need to keep a safety stock of inventory to meet orders
with potential time constraints.
MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS
The Company sells to customers in approximately 48 states and 22 international
countries. International sales are less than 10% of total sales.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company had net
sales of $42,234,984, $29,790,025 and $20,552,782, respectively. The following
table sets forth the name of each customer of the Company, which either alone,
or together with its affiliates, accounted for 5% or more of the Company's sales
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:

Cacique, Inc. * 5.1% *
* Less than 5% of sales for the stated fiscal year.
The Company's products are sold primarily in three commercial markets: retail,
food service, and industrial.
In the retail market, where the Company believes nutrition generally outweighs
price considerations, the Company markets its formagg(R) and Veggie Slices
products at prices comparable to conventional cheeses. In this market, the
Company sells directly to retail establishments, including national and regional
supermarket chains, and to distributors that sell and deliver to retail
establishments.
In both the food service and industrial markets, the Company markets its more
expensive premium products to customers who place importance on nutrition and
its less expensive branded, nonbranded and private label substitute and
conventional-type cheese products to customers whose primary consideration is
cost. The food service products are primarily sold to distributors who supply
food to restaurants, schools and hospitals. The Company also markets its
products directly to large national restaurant chains.
In the industrial market, the Company sells its products to industrial
manufacturers whose food products, such as pizza, frozen foods, salad dressings,
cheese dips and spreads, potato and vegetable toppings, and baked goods (such as
crackers and croutons), ordinarily contain cheese as an ingredient.
The following chart sets forth the percentage of sales that the industrial, food
service and retail markets represented for the fiscal years ended March 31,

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
As a manufacturer of food products for human consumption, the Company is subject
to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities
regarding the quality, purity, manufacturing, distribution and labeling of food
products.
The Company's United States product labels are subject to regulation by the
United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Such regulation includes
standards for product descriptions, nutritional claims, label format, minimum
type sizes, content and location of nutritional information panels, nutritional
comparisons, and ingredient content panels. The Company's labels, ingredients,
and manufacturing techniques and facilities are subject to inspection by the
FDA. In May 1994, the United States enacted a new labeling law, which
dramatically impacted the food industry as a whole. The regulations require
specific details of ingredients and their components along with nutritional
information on labels. The Company believes this will enhance marketability and
result in increased sales of the Company's products because the new labels make
it easier for consumers to recognize the nutritional benefits of the Company's
products compared to other products.
The Company's facility and manufacturing processes are subject to inspection by
the Florida Department of Health. The Company received its Annual Food Permit
from that bureau for 2000.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with
governmental regulations regarding its current products and has obtained the
necessary government permits, licenses, qualifications, and approvals which are
required for its operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company is required to comply with environmental regulations in connection
with the development of its products and the operation of its business. It spent
approximately $16,000, $15,000 and $15,000 during the fiscal years ended March
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively, in environmental related compliance,
mainly concerning the disposal of corrugated packaging.
At the present time, the Company believes that it is in compliance in all
material aspects with the federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations applicable to it. The Company believes that continued compliance
with any current or reasonably foreseeable future environmental laws and
regulations will not have a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures,
earnings, financial condition or competitive position of the Company.
COMPETITION
The food industry is highly competitive, and the Company faces substantial
competition in connection with the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of its
products. In the retail cheese market, the Company competes with conventional
cheeses, including "light" products produced by manufacturers of conventional
cheeses. "Light" cheese generally has lower fat content than regular cheese but
still contains cholesterol and lactose, unlike the Company's Veggie and
formagg(R) lines which contain low or no cholesterol and are lactose free.
Conventional cheeses are being promoted widely by the American Dairy Association
and other trade associations representing the dairy industry. In the industrial
and food service markets, the Company's substitute and imitation cheese products
compete with other substitute and imitation cheese products, as well as with
conventional cheeses.
8
<PAGE> 9
The Company believes it has the most complete line of cheese products in the
industry having healthy characteristics such as low or no fat, low or no
cholesterol, no lactose and no artificial colorings or flavorings. The Company
further believes that the most important competitive factors in the Company's
markets are product appearance, taste, nutritional value and price. The Company
believes its products excel in these areas. Among the Company's competitors in
the cheese industry are national and regional manufacturers of conventional and
imitation cheeses, such as Kraft (which produces products under the Kraft
Free(R) label), Borden's, and ConAgra (which produces products under the Healthy
Choice(R) label). Each of these competitors are well established and have
substantially greater marketing, financial and human resources than the Company.
However, management believes the competitors' current products do not have all
of the healthy characteristics that the Company's branded products possess (i.e.
low and no fat, low or no cholesterol, no lactose and no artificial colorings or
flavorings). Competitors may succeed in developing similar or enhanced products,
and because of greater resources, these competitors may prove more successful in
marketing and selling such products. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to compete successfully with any of these companies or achieve a
greater market share.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 15, 2000, the Company had a total of 288 employees, all of whom were
full-time employees. In addition, the Company also utilizes other personnel
through employee leasing companies and temporary contract arrangements. The
Company considers its relations with employees to be satisfactory.
No employee is a member of a trade union.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company's headquarters, sales offices, manufacturing, warehouse, and
research and development facilities occupy approximately 136,000 square feet
situated in Orlando, Florida. The Company's facilities are comprised of
approximately 12,000 square feet in office space, approximately 46,900 square
feet of dock-height, air-conditioned manufacturing space, coolers of
approximately 32,000 square feet, and a warehouse facility of approximately
45,100 square feet.
For the manufacturing and corporate office facilities, the Company entered into
a lease agreement with Anco Company, a Florida general partnership, on November
13, 1991. The initial term of the lease was for a five-year period, which
expired on November 13, 1996. On November 13, 1996, the lease was renewed for an
additional five-year period expiring on November 12, 2001. The lease, as
renewed, provides for fixed rental payments of $23,919 per month through the end
of the renewal period. After the completion of the renewal period, there are no
limitations on the rent increase that may be charged by the landlord in any
further renewal periods. If the parties are unable to agree upon a rental
increase for any renewal period, then the lease shall terminate as of the
expiration of the current five-year renewal term on November 13, 2001. The
Company has a right of first refusal to purchase or lease the remaining 2.8
acres upon 20 days notice to the landlord in the event that the landlord elects
to sell or lease such remaining land. The lease is a "triple net" lease, which
means that the Company is responsible for all taxes, insurance, maintenance and
repair of the facilities, in addition to rental payments. The Company's
manufacturing facility is capable of producing approximately 350 million pounds
of cheese and dairy related products per year. The Company believes the capacity
of production at the plant should be more than adequate to cover the estimated
growth of the Company for the next three to five years.
9
<PAGE> 10
The Company produces the majority of its products at this Orlando plant. Some of
the company's products are co-packed by dairy companies throughout the United
States and Canada. These products represent less than 5% of production. Based on
the results for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
Company's plant produced approximately 19.5, 17.7, and 11.6 million pounds of
cheese products, respectively, on an annualized basis. The Company has
production equipment for mixing, blending, cooking and heating ingredients, cold
storage areas for cooling finished goods, and several warehouse areas where
ingredients are stored. The Company owns and leases equipment for production,
shredding, dicing, slicing, chopping, grating, packaging and labeling of its
products.
For the cooler, warehouse and remaining office space totaling approximately
80,000 square feet, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Cabot
Industrial Properties, a Florida limited partnership, on July 28, 1999. The term
of the lease is for five years and provides for escalating rental payments
ranging from $18,674 to $20,871 per month through the end of the lease period.
The lease is a "triple net lease", which means the Company is responsible for
all taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repair of the facilities, in addition to
rental payments. Management believes that the Company's properties are
adequately covered by casualty insurance. The Company believes that its
facilities are adequate to meet current requirements, and that suitable
additional space is available as needed to accommodate any further physical
expansion of corporate operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In the opinion of management, there are no material legal proceedings pending or
threatened against the Company as of March 31, 2000.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On February 10, 2000, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders in
Orlando, Florida. In addition to regular and annual agenda items, the
shareholders voted on and approved the following proposals:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Statements other than historical information contained in this report are
considered forward looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Factors that could cause such statements not to be accurate include, but are not
limited to, increased competition for the Company's products, improvements in
alternative technologies, a lack of market acceptance for new products
introduced by the Company and the failure of the Company to successfully market
its products.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL 2000 AS COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999
SALES for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 increased by 42% over the same
period in 1999. This increase in sales is attributable to increased consumer
awareness of the Company's branded products, resulting from an increase in
marketing activities promoting these product lines, particularly the Company's
Veggie brand of products. In addition, the Company has focused on moving its
Veggie line of products from the dairy to the produce section of supermarkets to
target the health conscious consumer. The Company believes the increasing
consumer awareness of the benefits of plant-based foods has positively impacted
sales. The Company expects this trend in sales volume to continue throughout
fiscal 2001.
COST OF GOODS SOLD as a percentage of sales were 64% for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2000 compared with 65% for the same period in fiscal 1999. The
moderate increase in gross margin is primarily a result of volume and production
efficiencies during fiscal 2000.
SELLING expenses increased 26% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 compared
with the same period in fiscal 1999. Brokerage costs are a large portion of
selling expenses and these costs increased in direct proportion to sales. In
addition, the Company initiated an advertising program during fiscal 1999 that
continued and expanded during fiscal 2000 to promote the Veggie Slices product
line and capitalized on increasing consumer awareness of the benefits of
plant-based foods. This targeted advertising campaign has been launched in key
markets
12
<PAGE> 13
throughout the United States and Puerto Rico where distribution of the Company's
product is well established in a majority of the major supermarket chains.
DELIVERY expenses increased 42% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000
compared with the same period in fiscal 1999. This increase is mainly
attributable to the Company's 42% increase in sales.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses increased 47% for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999. The change is the result of an
increase in expenses for consulting services for conversion to a new network
server to accommodate additional users and year 2000 compliance issues, as well
as additional employees hired to accommodate the Company's projected growth.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses increased 14% for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2000 compared with the same period in fiscal 1999. This increase in expense
is mainly the result of the addition of an additional food scientist during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000.
INTEREST expense increased from $233,826 in fiscal 1999 to $744,498 in fiscal
2000. On September 30, 1999, the Company entered into a $4,000,000 subordinated
note payable with Finova Mezzanine Corporation. This debt bears interest at a
rate of 13.5% and includes an original issue discount of $786,900, which is
amortized through interest expense. During fiscal 2000, $78,690 was amortized to
interest expense. The increase is partially the result of additional borrowings
on the Company's line of credit to finance the increase in inventory. In March
2000, the Company refinanced its term note payable; however, this has not
effected interest expense during fiscal 2000 due to the timing of the
refinancing.
INCOME TAX BENEFIT for fiscal 2000 was $1,209,331 compared to income tax expense
of $60,000 for fiscal 1999. Alternate minimum tax was $110,669 and $60,000 for
fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. During fiscal 2000, the Company
recorded a deferred tax benefit of $1,320,000 derived from tax net operating
losses incurred in prior years, which are expected to be realized in the future.
This represents approximately 30% of the tax net operating loss carry forward
available at March 31,2000.
FISCAL 1999 AS COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998
SALES for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 increased by 44.9% over the same
period in 1998. This increase in sales is attributable to the introduction of
new and improved products to the retail market, as well as the increased
consumer awareness of the Company's branded products, resulting from an increase
in marketing activities promoting these product lines, particularly the
Company's Veggie brand of products. The Company believes the increasing consumer
awareness of the benefits of plant-based foods has positively impacted sales.
The Company expects this trend in sales volume to continue throughout fiscal
2001.
COST OF GOODS SOLD as a percentage of sales were 65.0% for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 compared with 74.1% for the same period in fiscal 1998. The
improvement in gross margin is primarily a result of new production
efficiencies, price increases and changes in the product mix to focus on higher
margin, branded products.
SELLING expenses increased 101% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999
compared with the same period in fiscal 1998. Brokerage costs are a large
portion of selling expenses and these costs increased in direct proportion to
sales. In addition, the Company initiated an advertising program during fiscal
1999 to promote the Veggie Slices product line and capitalized on increasing
consumer awareness of the benefits of plant-based foods. This targeted
advertising campaign has been launched in key markets throughout the United
States and Puerto Rico where
13
<PAGE> 14
distribution of the Company's product is well established in a majority of the
major supermarket chains.
DELIVERY expenses increased 70.7% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999
compared with the same period in fiscal 1998. A portion of the increase in
delivery expenses is a result of the increase in sales. However, delivery
expenses as a percentage of sales have increased due to rising freight costs.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses increased 61.8% for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999, as compared to fiscal 1998. The change is the result of an
increase in consulting fees and an increase in salary expense to accommodate the
growth of the Company. Consulting fees included costs to convert the Company's
systems to comply with Year 2000 constraints.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses increased 53.7% for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 compared with the same period in fiscal 1998. This increase in
expense is the result of the expansion of the Company's branded lines of product
to include additional flavors and entirely new products, such as Veggie Milk.
INTEREST expense increased 71.0% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 as
compared with the same period in fiscal 1998. The increase is the result of
additional borrowings on the Company's line of credit to finance the increase in
inventory.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OPERATING ACTIVITIES - For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the Company's
cash used in operating activities was $1,815,800 an increase of $99,798 over the
same period in fiscal 1999. The increase in cash used for operations is the
result of a build-up of inventory and accounts receivable, partially offset by
an increase in accounts payable associated with an increase in sales during
fiscal 2000. In addition, in an effort to increase response time to customer
orders and convert from distributor to direct sales, the Company is accumulating
an inventory of finished goods of its most popular product lines. Prepaid
expenses increased due to slotting fees paid to retailers to move the Veggie
line of products from the dairy to produce section of stores.
INVESTING -- The Company spent $4,508,133 in investing activities for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2000 compared with $2,105,501 for the same period in fiscal
1999. During fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Company invested in production equipment
to accommodate the demand for slice products in the retail and foodservice
industries. The Company anticipates incurring approximately $4,000,000 in
additional costs to acquire additional equipment and build-out during fiscal
2001 to complete the construction in progress projects.
FINANCING -- The Company realized a net inflow of $6,324,204 from financing
activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 compared with $3,801,546
during the same period in fiscal 1999. The large cash flows from financing
activities resulted from borrowings on the line of credit and term notes in both
years to finance the increase in accounts receivable, inventory and construction
in progress and proceeds from the sale of common stock in fiscal 1999. In
addition, during fiscal 2000, the Company entered into a $4 million subordinated
note payable to finance working capital and capital expenditures.
During November 1996, the Company entered into a two-year agreement which
provided a $2 million line of credit for working capital and expansion purposes.
The availability under this line of credit was increased to $3 million in
February 1997, $3.5 million in June 1998, $5.5 million in December 1998 and $7.5
million in April 2000. The amount available under the line of credit is based on
a formula of 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 35% of eligible
inventories in an
14
<PAGE> 15
amount not to exceed $3,000,000, as defined in the agreement. Amounts
outstanding under the agreement are collateralized by all accounts receivable,
inventory and machinery and equipment owned by the Company. Interest is payable
on the outstanding balance of the line of credit at a rate of prime plus one
half percent (9.25% at March 31, 2000). The line of credit expires on October
31, 2002. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had an outstanding balance of
$4,784,999 under this line of credit agreement.
On June 27, 1997, the Company secured a $1.5 million term note payable to
finance the acquisition of certain production equipment. Amounts outstanding
under the agreement are collateralized by machinery and equipment owned by the
Company. During June 1998, the Company signed an amendment to the above contract
which expanded the term note payable to $3 million. This note is payable at the
rate of $432,000 per year, with a balloon payment due on October 31, 2001. This
note was paid in full during March 2000 through a new financing agreement with
SouthTrust Bank, N.A. The new term note payable has availability to a maximum of
$8.5 million and bears interest at the prime rate (8.75% at March 31, 2000).
This note is payable interest only through February 1, 2001, with monthly
principal payments of $78,705, plus interest payable beginning March 1, 2001.
The note will mature on March 1, 2005. Amounts under the new agreement are
collateralized by machinery and equipment owned by the Company. The new note is
being used to finance new production equipment that the Company anticipates
purchasing in fiscal 2001. As of March 31, 2000, the balance outstanding under
this agreement was $3,992,906. The Company paid approximately $26,000 in loan
costs in connection with this new financing.
On September 30, 1999, the Company secured a $4 million subordinated note
payable less loan costs of $380,000 to finance working capital and capital
improvement needs of the Company. Amounts outstanding under the agreement are
collateralized by a subordinated lien on substantially all assets of the
Company. The subordinated note is payable interest only monthly with a principal
payment in one lump sum upon maturity on September 30, 2004 and bears interest
at a rate of 13.5%. The Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 915,000
shares of common stock to the subordinated note holder at an exercise price of
$3.41 per share which represented 80% of the fair value of the Company's stock
on the date the warrant was issued. The warrant was valued at $786,900 which was
recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense from the
date of issuance of the note to the maturity date of the note of September 30,
2004. During fiscal 2000, $78,690 was recorded as interest expense. As of March
31, 2000, the unamortized debt discount was $708,210 and the principal balance
on the note was $3,876,817.
On October 16, 1998, the Company sold 357,143 shares of its common stock to a
private investor at an aggregate price of $937,500.
Management believes that these actions will allow the Company to meet its future
liquidity needs until the Company establishes a positive cash flow.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 requires companies to
recognize all derivative
15
<PAGE> 16
contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure
them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may specifically
be designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain
or loss recognition of: (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk; or (ii) the earnings effect
of the hedged transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging
instrument, the gain or loss is recognized as income in the period of change.
FAS 133, as amended by FAS 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Historically, the Company has not entered
into any derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative
purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption of the new standard
on July 1, 2000 to affect its financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The interest on the Company's debt is floating and based on the prevailing
market interest rates. For market based debt, interest rate changes generally do
not affect the market value of the debt but do impact future interest expense
and hence earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors remain unchanged. A
theoretical 1% change in market rates in effect on March 31, 2000 with respect
to the Company's anticipated debt as of such date would increase interest
expense and hence reduce the net income of the Company by approximately $90,000
per year.
The Company's fiscal 2000 and 1999 sales denominated in a currency other than
U.S. dollars were less than 1% of total sales and no net assets were maintained
in a functional currency other than U. S. dollars at March 31, 2000 and 1999.
The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates has not historically
been significant to the Company's operations or net assets.

GALAXY FOODS COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
Galaxy Foods Company (the "Company") is principally engaged in the
development, manufacturing and marketing of a variety of healthy
cheese and dairy related products, as well as other cheese
alternatives. These healthy cheese and dairy related products include
low or no fat, low or no cholesterol and lactose-free varieties. These
products are sold throughout the United States and internationally to
customers in the retail, food service and industrial markets. The
Company's headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in
Orlando, Florida.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (weighted average) or
market.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line
method for financial reporting and by accelerated methods for income
tax purposes.
Capital leases are recorded at the lower of fair market value or the
present value of future minimum lease payments. Assets under capital
leases are depreciated by the straight-line method over their useful
lives.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized upon shipment of products to customers.
BOOK OVERDRAFTS
Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not
presented to banks frequently result in overdraft balances for
accounting purposes and are classified as "book overdrafts" in the
balance sheet. In accordance with the Company's agreement with a
financial institution, all cash receipts are applied against a
revolving line of credit, and a daily draw is requested to cover
checks clearing the bank.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of
fair value information about financial instruments. Fair value
estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions
and pertinent information available to management as of March 31,
2000.
The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values. These financial
instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, book
overdrafts, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were
assumed
22
<PAGE> 23
GALAXY FOODS COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since
they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate
fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair
value of the Company's long term debt is estimated based upon the
quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current
rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining
maturities.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company evaluates impairment of long-lived assets in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of" (SFAS 121). SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" which requires recognition of estimated income taxes
payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and
for the estimated future tax affect attributable to temporary
differences and carry forwards. Measurement of deferred income tax is
based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of
deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not
expected to be realized.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with the current year presentation.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company does not identify separate operating segments for
management reporting purposes. The results of operations are the basis
on which management evaluates operations and makes business decisions.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 requires
companies to recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a
23
<PAGE> 24
GALAXY FOODS COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
derivative may specifically be designated as a hedge, the objective of
which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition of: (i) the
changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are
attributable to the hedged risk; or (ii) the earnings effect of the
hedged transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging
instrument, the gain or loss is recognized as income in the period of
change. FAS 133, as amended by FAS 137, is effective for all fiscal
year quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Historically, the Company has not entered into any derivative
contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption of the new standard
on July 1, 2000 to affect its financial statements.
(2) INVENTORIES
Inventories are summarized as follows:

---------- --------
Total $1,521,634 $627,716
========== ========
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first
time the advertising takes place, except for direct response
advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected
period of future benefits. Direct response advertising consists
primarily of newspaper and magazine inserts that include coupons for
the Company's products. The capitalized costs of direct response
advertising are amortized over the twelve month period following the
publication in which it appears. Advertising expense was approximately
$904,000, $698,000, and $289,000 during fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
The Company incurs slotting fees to obtain shelf space in retail
stores which are amortized over the shorter of the expected utility or
one year.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
On June 17, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors issued a new
employment agreement for the Company's President. The new agreement
allows for a one time grant of a stock option to purchase a maximum of
1,357,000 shares of common stock which, if exercised, would bring the
President's ownership interest in the Company to 45%. The option was
granted in June 1999 and is exercisable immediately at $3.31 per share
and expires June 2009. The new agreement also forgives the unaccrued
interest on the existing note, provides for a salary of $300,000 and
decreases the annual bonus to a sliding scale of pre-tax income,
beginning with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000. This new
agreement has a rolling five-year term.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On February 11, 1999, the Company completed a one for seven reverse
stock split with respect to its common stock. All common share
information, included in the accompanying financial statements, has
been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In January 1992, the Company's stockholders approved the 1991 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the "1991 Purchase Plan"). The 1991 Purchase Plan
provides for the sale of up to an aggregate of 35,715 shares of common
stock to eligible employees. Up to 358 shares may be purchased by each
eligible employee at the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the
shares on the first or last business day of the six-month purchase
periods ending August 31 and February 28. Substantially all full-time
employees are eligible to participate in the plan. During the year
ended March 31, 2000, 7,802 shares were accrued and 514 shares were
issued under this plan at prices ranging from $3.24 to $3.78 per
share. During the year ended March 31, 1999, 8,046 shares were
purchased under this plan at prices ranging from $3.77 to $3.94 per
share. During the year ended March 31, 1998, 6,634 shares were
purchased under this plan at prices ranging from $4.76 to $5.18 per
share. The weighted average fair value of the shares issued were
$3.52, $3.91, and $4.97 per share for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS ISSUED FOR CONSULTING SERVICES
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
consulting expense of $18,583, $22,293, and $78,494, respectively, was
recognized on common stock options and warrants granted to officers,
directors and consultants.

STOCK OPTIONS
At March 31, 2000, the Company has three employee stock option plans
which were adopted in 1987, 1991, and 1996 and has granted additional
non-plan stock options. The Company applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in
accounting for these plans. Under the provisions of APB Opinion 25, if
options are granted or extended at exercise prices less than fair
market value, compensation expense is recorded for the difference
between the grant price and the fair market value at the date of
grant.
Under the Company's stock option plans, qualified and nonqualified
stock options to purchase up to 178,572 shares of the Company's common
stock may be granted to employees and members of the Board of
Directors. The maximum term of options granted under the plans is ten
years.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("FAS 123"),
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, requires the Company to
provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per
share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock options had been
determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed
in FAS 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option
at the grant date by using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following assumptions used in the fiscal 2000 option-pricing model
are as follows: no dividend yield, 43% volatility, risk-free interest
rate of 4.64%, and expected lives of ten years. Assumptions used for
grants in 1999: no dividend yield, volatility of 80%, risk-free
interest rates ranging from 4.64% to 5.25% and expected lives of ten
years. Assumptions used in the fiscal 1998 option-pricing model are as
follows: no dividend yield, volatility from 116% to 129%, risk-free
interest rate of 6.3% and expected lives ranging from two to five
years. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value
of options at their grant dates in accordance with FAS 123, the
Company would have reduced net income by $2,755,910 for fiscal 2000,
would have reduced net income by $73,808 for fiscal 1999 and would
have had a net loss of $317,887 for fiscal 1998. Basic and diluted pro
forma earnings per share would have been $0.10 and $0.09, respectively
for fiscal 2000. The effect on earnings per share is less than $0.01
per share for fiscal 1999 and 1998.

Tax expense for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 for the
Company's liability for alternative minimum tax was $110,669 and
$60,000, respectively. The alternative minimum tax system limits the
amount of alternative minimum NOL carry forward that can be applied
against current year alternative minimum income, thus creating
alternative minimum taxable income. Alternative minimum tax paid is
carried forward as a tax credit to offset federal tax if incurred in
the future. This credit does not expire.
