Deep fried pastry revenues exceeded 2007 results largely due to higher demand over the first 2 quarters. All other industries typically struggled across the board.

Leaders are pining Congress for a BCS bailout, but expectations are dim at best. Future Outlook: Bleak.
The future largely hinders on the willingness of lenders to restructure outstanding operating lines.
