| Food Ingredients reported record quarterly sales of $23.6 million, up 19% from the prior year on growth in existing accounts and from new product introductions in the companion pet and gluten-free bakery segments. | ||
| Gross margin improved 10% on new product gains and lower unit processing costs. | ||
| Operating income reached an all-time quarterly record of $5.5 million compared with a previous record of $5.0 million one year ago. |

| Revenue increased 47% to a record $61.6 million from $42.0 million a year ago reflecting higher corn prices that were passed through to customers, additional ethanol volumes and growth of specialty starch-based additives. Industrial starch net average selling prices for calendar 2011 rose at double-digit levels from a year ago. | ||
| Ethanol sales grew to $28.1 million from $14.6 million as spot prices for ethanol rose 65% from last year. Company results improved while industry crush margins were comparable to prior year as corn costs outpaced ethanol prices. | ||
| Sales of specialty industrial starches grew by 33% from a year ago. This category includes the Companys Liquid Natural Additive products and the novel technology launched in November to replace fluorochemicals in food packaging applications. The Company announced the introduction of PEN-COTE® natural binder products last month that replace synthetic latex in coated paper and paperboard applications, including a newly available dry version. | ||
| Segment gross margin expanded $6.5 million as increased prices, greater facility throughput rates and lower unit manufacturing costs offset higher raw material costs. Industry net corn costs more than doubled from a year ago. | ||
| The operating loss of $0.7 million includes a $0.6 million charge to increase the accounts receivable reserve related to a paper industry customer that announced closure of its mill operations. |
| Cash flow from operations was $1.7 million including a $4.4 million contribution to the Companys pension plans. | ||
| Interest expense, which includes dividends on preferred stock, was $2.4 million compared with $1.9 million last year. | ||
| Income tax expense reflects the non-deductibility of dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock. | ||
| Outstanding bank debt on the Companys $60 million revolving credit facility was $22.9 million. |
