Financial Summary
Sylvan, Inc. is a worldwide producer and distributor of mushroom spawn (the equivalent of seed for mushrooms) and is a grower and packer of fresh mushrooms. For the six months ended 6/30/01, net sales fell 3% to $42 million. Net income fell 6% to $2.5 million. Revenues suffered from increased competition in the Eastern USA and the loss of one significant customer. Earnings also reflect lower operating income and increased mushroom developing costs in the United States.
