Galaxy Nutritional Foods Receives Acceptance of Compliance Plan From American Stock Exchange

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 20  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc. (AMEX:GXY) today announced that on December 16, 2005 the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") notified the Company that it accepted the Company's plan to regain compliance and granted the Company an extension until March 29, 2007 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

As reported in a press release on September 30, 2005, the Company received a deficiency letter from AMEX on September 29, 2005 advising that, based on a review of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company is not in compliance with AMEX's continued listing requirements.  Specifically, the AMEX notice stated that the Company is not in compliance with (i) Section 1003(a)(i) of the AMEX Company Guide, because the Company's shareholders' equity is less than $2,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two out of its three most recent fiscal years; (ii) Section 1003(a)(ii) of the AMEX Company Guide, because the Company's shareholders' equity is less than $4,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years; and (iii) Section 1003(a)(iv) of the AMEX Company Guide, because the Company has sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of AMEX, as to whether the Company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.

On October 7, 2005, the Company filed an Amended Annual Report on Form 10- K/A for the year ended March 31, 2005 and an Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.  Based on the revised financial information, the Company notified AMEX on October 11, 2005 that it is also not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the AMEX Company Guide, because the Company's shareholders' equity is less than $6,000,000 and it sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

On October 28, 2005, the Company submitted a plan to AMEX, advising AMEX of actions that it has taken, or will take, that would bring the Company into compliance with Section 1003(a)(i), Section 1003(a)(ii), Section 1003(a)(iii), and Section 1003(a)(iv) of the AMEX Company Guide.

On December 16, 2005, AMEX notified the Company that it accepted the Company's plan to regain compliance and granted the Company an extension until March 29, 2007 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.  The Company will continue to be listed during the extension period.  The Company will be subject to periodic review by AMEX during the extension period.  If the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the extension period or is not in compliance with the continued listing standards at the end of the extension period, AMEX staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.
