CRANFORD, N.J., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (NYSE AMEX Symbol: TOF) issued its results for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 today.
Net sales for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 were $17,713,000, a decrease of $904,000, or 5%, from the Company's net sales of $18,617,000, for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. The reduction in sales was caused by the continuing difficult general economic conditions and the discontinuance of a number of slower moving, less profitable products during 2010. Although the discontinuance of these slower moving items contributed to reduced sales in fiscal 2010, it also contributed to an improvement in the gross profit percentage for the year. Tofutti's gross profit percentage increased slightly to 31% in fiscal 2010 from 30% in fiscal 2009.
For fiscal 2010, the Company's income before income taxes decreased to $802,000 from $835,000 in fiscal 2009, primarily as a result of lower revenues and gross profit, which was partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses. Net income for fiscal 2010 decreased to $462,000 ($0.09 per share) compared to $506,000 ($0.10 per share) for fiscal 2009, primarily as a result of a reduction in operating profit and an increase in income taxes. Income taxes for the 2010 fiscal period were $340,000 compared to $329,000 in fiscal 2009, and the Company's income tax rate was 42% for the 2010 year compared to 39% in the 2009 fiscal year.
As of January 1, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million and working capital of approximately $4.4 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.4 million and working capital of approximately $3.9 million at January 2, 2010.
"During the last few fiscal years our industry was subject to significant pricing and economic pressures. We worked hard to maintain the market position of our leading products while shedding slower moving, less profitable products. As a result, we were able to maintain our operating profitability despite a decrease in sales. At the same time, we continued to improve our financial condition as our cash and cash equivalents increased to $2.5 million at January 1, 2011 from $1.4 million at January 2, 2010. Our working capital also improved to $4.4 million at January 1, 2011 from $3.9 million at January 2, 2010.
"Most importantly, we completed the development of two new products that are expected to be rolled out by September of this year. We are very excited about what we believe to be the first commercially available nondairy and gluten-free ricotta cheese product. The second new product is a dairy-free, sugar-free, frozen dessert than incorporates Stevia as the sweetening agent. We believe that the continued market acceptance of our dairy-free, soy based products and the introduction of our new products will drive the growth in our Company's revenues and profitability in 2011 and the future," said David Mintz, the Company's Chairman and CEO.
