Our gross profit percentage was 25% for the period ending April 2, 2022 compared to 32% for the period ending April 3, 2021. The decrease in both our gross profit and gross profit percentage, were caused by the substantial increases in certain ingredients and freight expense.

The decrease in cash during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2022 was primarily due to reduced accounts receivable collections and increased inventory on hand.
