Revenues for fiscal 2009 were $292.6 million reflecting a 3.1% increase when compared to fiscal 2008 with poultry prices increasing $0.024 per pound sold. Quoted market prices for the year 2009 versus 2008 reflect a reduction in boneless breast - 13.6%, breast tenders -7.2%, wings -9.2% and leg quarters -3.4%.

Cost of sales for fiscal 2009 increased 9.2% as compared with 2008, from $268.5 million to $293.2 million. Feed ingredient cost per ton for broilers processed in 2009 increased 23.5% or $20.3 million as compared to fiscal 2008. Feed cost represented approximately 36% of total cost of sales in 2009.

Our fourth quarter operating income approached the breakeven mark as revenue per pound improved by over 3% and cost of sales fell 1.6%. As we begin fiscal 2010 demand for the cost effective protein offered by our products is improving and our markets are reacting favorably which we anticipate will return our company to positive margins in the first quarter.
