Third Quarter 2010 Revenue Segments

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 ended September 30, 2010 was $48.1 million, up 24.3% from $38.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Sales of chestnuts increased by $2.9 million, or 16.0%, to $21.2 due to effective marketing efforts and a growing domestic and international distribution network. In the third quarter of 2010 revenues from convenience food products were $18.6 million, up 72.5% from the comparable period last year. Products in American Lorain’s convenience foods product line include ‘ready to eat’ meals and snack foods, ‘ready to heat’ lunch box entrees and ‘self-heating’ meals for military personnel.

American Lorain’s core product line includes more than 50 varieties of chestnuts and chestnut-based snacks. Sales in this category increased 16.0% from the third quarter 2009. American Lorain’s chestnut business accounted for 44.2% of the Company’s revenues in the third quarter 2010 and is derived from a combination of domestic and international sales of chestnuts and chestnut-based snack foods.

Sales of frozen foods were $8.3 million compared to $9.6 million last year, representing 17.2% of revenues in the third quarter of 2010. American Lorain only services a select group of commercial accounts and it is not actively growing this business segment due to its lower margin profile.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 was $10.8 million, an 18.4% increase from $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of higher labor and depreciation expenses.
