  • Successfully launched products on QVC, the world's leading video and e-commerce retailer, selling out of meatballs in consecutive appearances
  • Hired executive chef Christopher Styler to develop new products and expand offerings for QVC
  • Signed agreements with major new accounts including but not limited to select Northeast locations in Costco Wholesales' international chain of membership warehouses
  • Outlook of operating cash flow break-even in the fall of 2015

Carl Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of MamaMancini's, commented, "Our solid, double-digit revenue growth is the direct result of our efforts to add new accounts, expand our product line and grow our average revenue per client by increasing the number of locations we serve. At the same time, our improved brand recognition is enabling us to shift to a more selective approach, focusing efforts on accounts with higher growth potential and higher margins and terminating certain lower margin agreements. Our recent launch with QVC, the introduction of our Jumbo Meatball at Costco warehouses, and entrance into the prepared food sections of retailers and food service accounts are helping expand our reach into larger markets."

Mr. Wolf added, "We are executing on our growth strategy and pruning our portfolio of underperforming accounts in order to efficiently increase our operating cash flow. By focusing on high-quality accounts such as QVC we are positioning the company for improving financial results."

Summary Financial Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, were $2.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2015, an increase of 22% from $2.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2014. The increase in sales is primarily related to the Company's execution of its expansion strategy. The Company has sold into approximately 10,500 retail and grocery locations as of July 31, 2015, compared to approximately 8,600 locations at July 31, 2014.

Gross profit was $648,000, or 23.7% of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2015 compared to $659,000, or 29.3% of sales in the year ago period. Gross profit for 2015 includes charges for changeover to new product sizes and disposition of obsolete inventory and under utilization of production facilities. The summer season is a lower demand period for prepared meatballs and The Company elected to work inventories lower as well. Gross Profit adjusted for the charges described in this paragraph would have been 31%. The Company expects that plant utilization and gross profit will run at higher rates for the rest of the fiscal year.

Net loss for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2015 was $(1,011,000), or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(793,000), or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, in the prior year. The change in net loss was mainly attributable to a $57,000 one-time legal charge for non-operating financing activities, and an increase in non-operating expenses of $211,000, consisting of debt fees, debt discount amortization and interest expense to support the Company's growth efforts. Please refer to the Company's 10Q for the quarter ending July 31, 2015, which was filed on September 14, 2015, for more detailed information on the Company's balance sheet, operations and cash flow.

Cash Used in Operating Activities for the three months ended July 31, 2015 was ($427,000) compared to ($1.18) million in the prior year period, an improvement of $754,000. This includes cash expenses of $245,000 related to inventory write-downs, under utilized production facilities, liquidation sales and promotions related to the transition to new packaging and termination of underperforming accounts, and one time legal fees in relations to non-operating financing activities.

Since August 31, 2015 through September 11, 2015, the Company completed the closing of an additional $185,000 of its private placement offering of convertible preferred stock.
