Looks good but just a few questions...
1. Why did the earnings sag in 2006 after profitability in 2005?
2. Why the negative growth the last 5 years (acc to yahoo key analyst est page)?
3. Who are the competitors (food service has been around for a long time... there must be others that separate products I would assume...?
4. P/E seems to be getting a bit pricey at close to 30x fy07 earnings est...

I'm not that familiar with the Co. but it generally looks good I just want to be sure to ask questions first...
