For Immediate Release
Perfect Fry Reports Third Quarter Results
CALGARY (September 29, 2004) - Perfect Fry reports revenues for
the nine months ending July 31, 2004 of $2,417,674 down from revenues
of $2,816,370 for the same period last year. Similarly, earnings
decreased from $193,187 at July 31, 2003 to $118,304 at July 31,
2004. The fluctuating US exchange rate remains a factor in declining
revenues for the end of the third quarter compared to figures for
the same period a year ago. In addition, explains Perfect Fry President
and CEO Gary Calderwood, last year's Canadian sales were high because
of a large one-time order placed by an Eastern Canadian chain. This
year's sales weren't targeted to repeat last year's spike in Canadian
revenues.
"Our product and our service remain consistent in a highly
competitive industry," says Calderwood. "We have launched
a brand new complementary product-the Heated Merchandiser-which
is already winning positive reviews in the marketplace. I'm encouraged
by revenue opportunities both at home and overseas."
