This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of concentrated pear juice, concentrated kiwifruit puree and fruit juice beverages. Concentrated pear juice is widely used as a sweetener in a variety of juices, soft drinks and food products made in China and abroad. Sales of pear concentrate increased 96.7% year over year to $1.7 million for the quarter.

Sales of kiwifruit juice and puree were $3.9 million for the period ended June 30, 2010. Normally, the harvest and squeezing season for kiwifruit concludes in the first quarter of the year, which is why there were no sales in the year ago period.
