MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO generated its net income of $228,000, up
190% from $79,000 in 2007 (all amounts in Canadian funds).
Sales in the quarter were $7.5 million, as compared to $9.5
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, down $2 million, as
the Company had temporary difficulties arranging shipping for
overseas delivery. This decline was offset by a decrease in the
cost of raw materials. This led to a decrease in the cost of meat
products and labour expense as a percentage of sales to 78.8% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to 88.7% in the same
period last fiscal year.
The Company's selling, general and administration expenses
increased by 23% from $921,000 in the first quarter of 2007 to $
1,133,000 in the first quarter of 2007 an increase of $211,000, as
a result of increased operating costs associated with higher
inventory levels and related carrying costs, higher staff costs and
administrative costs. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were
15% of sales in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to 9.7% in
2007.

$168,000 from $1,358,000 at year-end, October 31, 2006, to
