NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements of Food Technology Service, Inc. (the "Company," "we" or "our") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date this Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows: 1. Nature of Business The Company was organized in December 1985 and is engaged in the business of operating a gamma irradiation facility using Cobalt 60 for the sterilization of medical, surgical, pharmaceutical and packaging materials. It also disinfects fruits, vegetables, oysters and meat products to enhance safety or eliminate insect pests. 2. Use of Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements. 3. Revenue Recognition The primary source of revenue is from treating products with Cobalt. Net Revenue is the gross income from such processing less allowances, if any. Revenues are recorded after the Company's performance obligation is completed and product has been processed in accordance with the customer's specifications and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. A provision is made for doubtful accounts which historically have not been significant. 6 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 4. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Assets other than Cobalt have been depreciated using the straight-line method over the following lives for both financial statement and tax purposes: Building 31.5 years Furniture and Equipment 5-15 Years The total cost basis of Cobalt has been depreciated using engineering estimates from published tables under which one-half of the remaining value is written off over 5.26 year periods. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and if warranted, changes will be made resulting in acceleration of depreciation. MDS Nordion is the Company's supplier of Cobalt 60 and has agreed to accept the return of all Cobalt 60 that has reached the end of its useful life; therefore, the Company has provided no environmental remediation liability for the disposal of the Cobalt 60. 5. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. 6. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash in three financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures up to $250,000 per legal entity per financial institution until December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2010, the uninsured cash balance was $921,760. 7. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the effect of common stock equivalents that are dilutive. 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities approximate fair value. 7 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 9. Stock Option Plans The Company has various stock option plans for employees and other individuals providing services to or serving as Directors of the Company. (See Note E) Compensation cost under the plans is recognized using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718. Such cost is recognized for shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 10. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation. Note C - Lines of Credit The Company no longer uses MDS Nordion to guarantee a $600,000 letter of credit required by the State of Florida as a condition of the Company's Radioactive Materials License. In July, 2010, the Company obtained a irrevocable standby letter of credit of $600,000 through Regions Bank to satisfy State of Florida requirements. The letter of credit will be automatically extended for an additional year unless the bank provides a 120 day written notice to the Company. The letter of credit is collaterized by the Company's real property and has an annual fee of $12,000. The Company has a separate $400,000 line of credit with Regions Bank that is available for the short term capital needs of the Company. The line of credit is secured by the Company's real property and incurs interest at prime plus 1.35%. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has not used the line of credit. Note D - Income Taxes and Available Tax Loss Carryforwards As of September 30, 2010, the Company had income tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $4,107,340. The NOL will expire in various years ending through the year 2022. The components of income tax benefits attributable to operations are as follows: 8 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note D - Income Taxes and Available Tax Loss Carryforwards (continued) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2010 2009 2010 2009 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Current Federal $ - $ - $ - $ - State - - - - ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- $ - $ - =========== =========== =========== =========== Deferred-benefit Federal $ (307,700) $ - $ (145,400) $ - State (52,700) - (24,900) - ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- $ (360,400) $ - $ (170,300) $ - =========== =========== =========== =========== Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows: As of September 30, 2010 As of December 31, 2009 Current Non-Current Current Non-Current ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Deferred tax assets NOL carryforwards $ 413,700 $ 1,070,600 $ 186,000 $ 1,128,000 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Deferred tax asset $ 413,700 $ 1,070,600 $ 186,000 $ 1,128,000 =========== =========== =========== =========== The change in the valuation allowance is as follows: December 31, 2009 $ 542,000 September 30, 2010 61,400 ----------- Change in valuation allowance $ 480,600 =========== A valuation allowance has been established to eliminate the net deferred tax benefit due to uncertainty as to whether the tax benefits would ever be realized. During 2010, as a result of the continuing diversification and growth in customer base, ongoing profits from operations and the Company's revised estimate of future taxable income, it was concluded that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize a larger portion of the Company's deferred asset. 9 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note D - Income Taxes and Available Tax Loss Carryforwards (continued) The Company believes that its estimate of future operations is conservative and reasonable, but inherently uncertain. Accordingly, if future operations generate taxable income greater than the projections, further adjustments to reduce the reserve are possible. Conversely, if the Company realizes unforeseen material losses in the future and its future projections of income decrease, the allowance could be increased resulting in a charge to income. Income taxes for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 differ from the amounts computed by applying the effective income tax rates of 37.63% and 37.63%, respectively, to income before income taxes as a result of the following: Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 2009 ----------- ----------- Expected provision at US statutory rate $ 108,600 20,276 State income tax net of federal benefit 11,600 3,471 Change in estimates in available NOL carry forwards (480,600) (304,747) ----------- ----------- Income tax benefit $ (360,400) $(281,000) =========== =========== Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 2009 ----------- ----------- Expected provision at US statutory rate $ 280,400 133,122 State income tax net of federal benefit 29,900 22,788 Change in estimates in available NOL carry forwards (480,600) (436,910) ----------- ----------- Income tax benefit $ (170,300) $ (281,000) =========== =========== The Company's tax years 2006 through 2009 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions. Note E - Stock Options On February 9, 1999 the Board of Directors approved an option program for non- employee Directors. 10 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note E - Stock Options (continued) The program was amended in 2001 and 2005 to provide for the annual granting to each non-employee Director of five year options to purchase 1,500 shares of common stock, exercisable at the end of one year at the market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. Also, the Chairman of the Board is awarded annually five year options to purchase an additional 2,500 shares. Year Shares Per Share ---- ------ --------- 2006 10,000 $3.28 2007 10,000 $2.52 2008 11,500 $2.18 On June 23, 2000 the Stockholders approved the 2000 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"). The 2000 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who is authorized to grant incentive stock options ("ISO's") to Officers and employees of the Company and non-qualified options ("NQO's") for certain other individuals providing services to or serving as Directors of the Company. The maximum number of shares of the Company's Stock that may be issued under the 2000 Plan is 500,000 shares.

ISO's granted to an optionee terminate 30 to 90 days after termination of employment or other relationship, except that ISO's terminate the earlier of the expiration date of the option, or 90 to 180 days in the event of death and 180 days to one year in the event of disability. No further options are being issued under the 2000 Plan. On May 14, 2009 the Stockholders approved the 2009 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the "2009 Plan"). 11 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note E - Stock Options (continued) The 2009 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who is authorized to grant incentive stock options ("ISO's") to Officers and employees of the Company and non-qualified options ("NQO's") for certain other individuals providing services to or serving as Directors of the Company. The maximum number of shares of the Company's Stock that may be issued under the 2009 Plan is 125,000 shares. Options granted and outstanding under this plan are as follows: Year Shares ---- ------- 2009 11,500 2010 11,500 ------- 23,000 ======= The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time an ISO is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which ISO's are exercisable for the first time by any person during any calendar year under the Plans shall not exceed $100,000. The ISO's are exercisable 20% of the authorized amount immediately and 20% in each of the following four years. ISO's granted to an optionee terminate 30 to 90 days after termination of employment or other relationship, except that ISO's terminate the earlier of the expiration date of the option, or 90 to 180 days in the event of death and 180 days to one year in the event of disability. Changes that occurred in options outstanding are summarized below: Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 2009 ---------------- ---------------- Average Average Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price -------- ----- -------- ----- Outstanding at beginning of period 232,750 $2.46 242,250 $2.53 Granted 11,500 $2.15 -- -- Exercised -- -- -- -- Expired/canceled (2,250) $3.56 -- -- -------- ----- ------- ----- 12 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note F - Related Party Transactions The Company's supplier of Cobalt, MDS Nordion owns approximately 18.19% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company has recently purchased the following Cobalt from MDS Nordion: Year Curies Amount ---- ------- -------- 2007 384,065 $799,523 2008 200,000 470,688 2010 105,727 81,740 Note G - Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260-10, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effects would be anti- dilutive. ASC 260-10 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the Company's Statements of Operations. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted per share information: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2010 2009 2010 2009 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Numerator: Net Income $ 679,811 $ 343,491 $ 994,926 $ 691,289 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding 2,756,458 2,756,458 2,756,458 2,756,458 Dilutive effect of stock 124,500 71,500 124,500 71,500 options ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution 2,880,958 2,827,958 2,880,958 2,827,958 =========== =========== =========== =========== 14 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 three customers accounted for approximately 60% and 63% of revenues, respectively. The Company's cash and accounts receivable are subject to potential credit risk. Management continuously monitors the credit standing of the financial institutions and customers with which the Company deals. A provision has been made for doubtful accounts which historically have not been significant. Note I - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Accounting Standards In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855-10-05, "Subsequent Events", which requires companies to evaluate events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued, or available to be issued in the case of non-public entities. FASB ASC 15 FOOD TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Note I - Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) 855-10-05 requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all events or transactions that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparation process. Entities shall not recognize the impact of enters or transactions that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. FASB ASC 855-10-05, also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. FASB ASC 855-10-05 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 855-10-05 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as required, the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("The Codification"). The Codification reorganized existing U.S. accounting and reporting standards issued by the FASB and other related private sector standard setters into a single source of authoritative accounting principles arranged by topic. The Codification supersedes all existing U.S. accounting standards; all other accounting literature not included in the Codification (other than Securities and Exchange Commission guidance for publicly-traded companies) is considered non- authoritative. The Codification was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification changed the Company's references to U.S. GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Company's financial statements. Note J - Subsequent Events In November, 2010, the Company paid MDS Nordion approximately $510,000 from cash reserves to purchase Cobalt for delivery during the first quarter of 2011. This prepayment allows the Company to receive a discount on the price of the Cobalt. 16 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Company had revenues of $815,275 during the third quarter of 2010 compared to revenues of $547,685 for the same period in 2009. This is an increase of approximately 49 percent due to new customers and growth of existing customers. The Company had income before taxes during the third quarter of 2010 of $319,411 compared to income before taxes of $62,491 during the third quarter of 2009. This is an increase of approximately 411 percent. For the first three quarters of 2010, the Company had revenues of $2,238,329 and income before taxes of $824,626. Revenues during the first three quarters of 2009 were $1,875,239 and the Company had income before taxes of $410,289. Revenues increased by about 19.4 percent and income before taxes increased by approximately 101 percent in the first three quarters of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Included in revenue for the first three quarters of 2009 is a settlement fee of $85,229 relating to the termination of a warehouse lease with a former customer. Without the settlement fee, revenue from operations for the first three quarters of 2009 would have been $1,790,010. The Company's statement of operations reflects non-cash deferred income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 in the amount of $360,400. The Company periodically evaluates the value of tax-loss carry-forwards on its financial statements. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company increased the value of the deferred tax asset which increased net income by $281,000. During the third quarter of 2010, based on increased profitability and potential future profitability, the Company again increased the value of the deferred tax asset which increased net income by $360,400. These adjustments resulted in net income during the third quarter of 2010 of $679,811 versus net income of $343,491 during the third quarter of 2009. Similarly, the Company had net income of $994,926 during the first three quarters of 2010 verses $691,289 during the same period in 2009. During the third quarter of 2010, processing costs as a percentage of sales were 17.3 percent. This compares to 28.2 percent during the third quarter of 2009. These costs are relatively fixed and the decrease in the third quarter of 2010 reflects the increased revenues. General administrative and development costs as a percentage of sales during the third quarter of 2010 were 32 percent. This compares to 41.8 percent in the third quarter of 2009. These costs are also relatively fixed and the decline in general, administrative and development expenses, as a percentage of sales, is primarily due to the increased sales. During the first three quarters of 2010, processing costs as a percentage of sales were 17.4 percent. This compares to 20.8 percent with the lease settlement revenue and 21.7 percent without such revenue in the first three quarters of 2009. Again, these costs are relatively fixed and the decrease during the third quarter of 2010 is attributable to increased revenue. General, administrative and development costs as a percentage of sales were 33.6 percent during the first three quarters of 2010. This compares to 40.7 percent during the first three quarters of 2009 with the lease settlement revenue and 42.7 percent during the first three quarters of 2009 without such revenue. This reflects the fixed nature of these costs and the increase in revenue. 17 The Company's cash on hand increased from $610,311 on December 31, 2009 to $1,526,300 on September 30, 2010. Approximately $510,000 was used in November 2010 to purchase Cobalt for delivery during the first quarter of 2011. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2010, the Company has cash on hand of $1,526,300 and accounts receivable of $319,019. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not Applicable. Item 4T. Controls and Procedures The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures by our Chief Executive Officer who also acts as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), the term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 by using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of September 30, 2010, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting is effective. 18 There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
