For the year, net income was down 25 percent at $5.6 million, or $0.97 per share, compared to $7.5 million, $1.21 per share, last year due to the prior fiscal year's realization of gains of $2.5 million, or $0.41 per share, from the sale of its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, NF Roasters Corp. and additional consideration from the sale of its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Miami Subs Corp. of $250,000, which was previously deemed contingent and not realized. The total of these gains before income taxes was $3.9 million.
