Food Technology Service, Inc. had revenues of $547,685 during the third quarter

of 2009 compared to revenues of $683,409 for the same period in 2008. This is

a decrease of approximately 19.9 percent. Management attributes the decrease

in revenue in the third quarter of 2009 to the loss of a large customer. As

previously reported, the customer, responsible for approximately 25% of our

revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, was acquired by a third party and

their operations were moved to the Southwest United States at the end of the

first quarter of 2009. This decrease in revenue during the third quarter had

little effect on revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to a

settlement fee of $85,229 received in the second quarter for termination of a

warehouse lease by the lost customer. For the first three quarters of 2009,

the Company had revenues of $1,875,239 which is comparable to revenues of

$1,865,344 for the first three quarters of 2008.



The Company had net income (with increased tax credit benefit) during the third

quarter of 2009 of $343,491 and income before taxes (without increased tax

credit benefit) during the third quarter of 2009 of $62,491. These figures

compare to $186,859 during the third quarter of 2008 and represent a decrease

in income before taxes of about 66 percent and an increase in net income of

about 84 percent. For the first three quarters of 2009, the Company had income

before taxes of $410,289 and net income of $621,289. For the first three

quarters of 2008, the Company had net income of $393,187. Income before taxes

for the first three quarters of 2009 increased by about 4 percent compared to

the first three quarters of 2008. Net income for the first three quarters of

2009 increased approximately 58% over the same period in 2008. Earnings per

share for the first three quarters of 2009 were $0.251 compared to $0.143 for

the same period in 2008.
