Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
On January 30, 2003, Rica Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. The Form 10-K Amendment does not include a signed audit report with respect to: (i) the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002; and (ii) the related consolidated statement of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year ended September 30, 2002 (the “2002 Financial Statements”). Accordingly, the 2002 Financial Statements have been identified as “unaudited”, should not be relied upon as audited financial statements and do not meet the requirements of a Form 10-K filing.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not at the time of filing the Form 10-K Amendment, provide the Securities and Exchange Commission with the certification required by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
