ITEM 9. REGULATION FOR DISCLOSURE.
On March 19, 2003 Montana Mills Bread Co., Inc. issued the following press
release:
"ROCHESTER, NEW YORK - MARCH 19, 2003. MONTANA MILLS BREAD CO., INC. (AMEX-MMX)
("Montana Mills" or the "Company") announced today that as a part of its
strategic plan to develop larger bakery cafe style bread stores it has decided
to close nine store locations. These locations are either underperforming stores
and/or are in markets where the Company's market penetration is generally
weaker. The Company's remaining 22 stores in the core markets of Rochester,
Buffalo, Syracuse, Elmira and Binghamton, New York; and Hartford, Connecticut
will not be affected.
Montana Mills owns and operates upscale village bread stores in the Northeastern
and Midwestern United States that produce and sell a variety of baked goods and
satellite cafes that sell the items baked at the Company's village bread stores.
