The increase in gross profit dollars and margin was driven largely by more favorable overhead absorption as a result of higher volume production runs to fulfill increased sales volumes, along with some easing of commodity prices.

Freight and storage expenses were $3.8 million higher, due predominantly to increased shipments for Boston Market products and higher fuel surcharges. The Company anticipates increased freight and storage expenses as sales volumes for Boston Market increase and if fuel prices remain at their current levels or increase.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reported net revenues of $46.3 million, compared to $44.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company reported net income of $322,447 or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to a net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of ($1.4 million), or ($0.09) per basic and diluted common share.
