Edmond J. Pera, President and CEO of Armanino Foods stated, "Financial performance in both our US and Asian markets was strong this quarter. We achieved higher quarterly sales with existing customers across all of our core products. As we stated in last quarter's report, timing delays in closing several domestic deals affected sales in the Q2. Those same Q2 delayed sales were booked in Q3 and were part of the growth in our sales this quarter."

Pera continued, "Our Board of Directors recently gave its approval for us to secure a $3.5 million credit facility to expand our manufacturing plant capacity. This project is expected to help us double our plant capacity, and increase production efficiencies. The Company also negotiated an extension of the lease on its existing plant facility. This extension carries a 5 year term beginning January 1, 2017, and contains two 5 year renewal options. Construction for the plant expansion project is scheduled to begin around the end of December 2016, and expected to be completed shortly after the end of the first quarter of 2017."

Pera concluded, "The Company is cautiously optimistic about it financial performance for the remainder of this year. We continue to work on several significant domestic relationships that we are trying to close before year end. We remain guarded on our outlook with our Asian markets due to continued weak economic conditions in that part of the world. Our current sales pipeline and cash position remain strong."
