NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware in 1979 as the successor by merger to an Illinois corporation that was incorporated in
1959. As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the term Company refers
collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its previously wholly owned subsidiary, JBS
International, Inc., which was dissolved in November, 2004. The Companys fiscal year ends on the
final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week
quarters). Fiscal 2005, however, contained fifty-three weeks, with the fourth quarter containing
fourteen weeks.
In the opinion of the Companys
management, the accompanying statements present fairly the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated
balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the
fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The interim results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Companys 2005 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005.
Note 2 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. Inventories consist of
the following (in thousands):
September 29 | June 30, | |||||||
2005 | 2005 | |||||||
Raw material and supplies |
$ | 72,541 | $ | 99,851 | ||||
Work-in-process and finished goods |
125,832 | 117,773 | ||||||
Inventories |
$ | 198,373 | $ | 217,624 | ||||
Note 3 Earnings Per Common Share
Earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
and Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. The following table presents the
reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing earnings per share:
Quarter Ended | ||||||||
September 29, | September 23, | |||||||
2005 | 2004 | |||||||
Weighted average shares outstanding basic |
10,580,183 | 10,559,224 | ||||||
Effect of dilutive securities: |
||||||||
Stock options |
| 159,263 | ||||||
Weighted average shares outstanding diluted |
10,580,183 | 10,718,487 | ||||||
Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 29,
2005 were 372,190 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $13.45. These options
were excluded from the computation due to the net loss for the quarter. Excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share were options with exercise prices greater than the
average market price of the Common Stock, totaling 3,000 for the quarter ended September 23, 2004.
These options had weighted average exercise prices of $32.30.
Note 4 Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Companys stock option plans, the Company may grant incentive and non-qualified options
to purchase common stock at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value at the
grant date, as determined by the Board of Directors. Options vest over four years and vested
options are exercisable in part or in full at any time prior to the expiration date of 5 to 10
years from the date of the grant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
At the Companys annual meeting of stockholders on October 28, 1998, the Companys stockholders
approved the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan under which awards of non-qualified options and stock-based
awards may be made. There are 700,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance to certain key
employees and outside directors (i.e. directors who are not employees of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries). At September 29, 2005, there were 161,500 options available for distribution
under this plan.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). This Statement requires
companies to expense the estimated fair value of stock options and similar equity instruments
issued to employees over the requisite service period. FAS 123R eliminates the alternative to use
the intrinsic method of accounting provided for in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), which generally resulted in no compensation
expense recorded in the financial statements related to the grant of stock options to employees if
certain conditions were met.
Effective for the first quarter, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective
method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the
date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding
at the date of adoption. Accordingly, prior period amounts presented herein have not been restated
to reflect the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company included all tax benefits resulting from the
exercise of stock options in operating cash flows in its consolidated statements of cash flows. In
accordance with SFAS 123R, for the period beginning with first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company
includes the tax benefits from the exercise of stock options in financing cash flows in its
statement of cash flows.
The Company determines fair value of such awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
following weighted average assumptions were used to value the Companys grants through the first
quarter of 2006: 3.75 and 6.25 years expected life; expected stock volatility of 51.8%; risk-free
interest rate of 4.07% to 4.11%; expected forfeitures of 0%; and expected dividend yield of 0%
during the expected term.
The expected term of the awards was determined using the simplified method as stated in SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 that utilizes the following formula: ((vesting term + original contract
term)/2). Expected stock volatility was determined based on historical volatility for either the
3.75 or 6.25 year-period preceding the measurement date. The risk-free rate was based on the yield
curve in effect at the time options were granted, using U.S. treasury constant maturities over the
expected life of the option. Expected forfeitures were determined based on the Companys
expectations and past experiences. Expected dividend yield was based on the Companys dividend
policy at the time the options were granted.
Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation is measured at
the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting
period. Stock-based compensation expense was $132 thousand and the related tax benefit for
non-qualified stock options was $2 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees using
the intrinsic method in accordance with APB 25. The following table illustrates the effect on net
income for the first quarter of 2004 and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

The weighted average fair value of options granted was $9.41 and the total intrinsic value of
options exercised was $8 thousand during the first quarter of 2006.
As of September 29, 2005, there was $1.47 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Companys stock option plans.
The Company expects to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.61 years. The total
fair value of shares vested during the period was $259 thousand.
Note 5 Retirement Plan
On August 25, 2005, the Companys Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
approved a Supplemental Retirement Plan (the SERP) to cover certain executive officers of the
Company. The purpose of the SERP is to provide an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation
monthly benefit upon retirement, disability or death to a select group of management and key
employees of the Company. The monthly benefit is based upon each individuals earnings and his
number of years of service. An administrative expense of $183 thousand was recognized as follows
(amounts in thousands):

Note 7 Comprehensive Income
The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. The Company currently has no components of comprehensive income that are required to be
disclosed separately. Consequently, comprehensive income equals net income for all periods
presented.

Table of Contents
Note 8 Credit Facilities
The Company is in compliance with all restrictive covenants under its financing facilities as of
September 29, 2005. However, it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the
funded debt to EBITDA ratio covenants under its primary short-term and long-term financing
facilities for the quarter ending December 29, 2005. Violations of financial covenants constitute
events of default as defined in the financing facilities. Upon an event of default, outstanding
amounts, including accrued interest, under the financing facilities would become immediately due.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully renegotiate the existing
agreements with its lenders or that the terms of the credit agreements will not be substantially
changed. The inability of the Company to renegotiate the terms of its existing credit facilities or
obtain new financing could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
INTRODUCTION
The Company is a processor, packager, marketer and distributor of shelled and inshell nuts. The
Company also markets or distributes, and in most cases manufactures or processes, a diverse product
line of food and snack items, including peanut butter, candy and confections, natural snacks and
trail mixes, sunflower seeds, corn snacks and sesame products. The Company sells to the consumer
market under a variety of private labels and under the Companys brand names, primarily Fisher. The
Company also sells to the industrial food service contract packaging and export markets.
The Companys results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were disappointing in terms of both
sales and earnings. Net sales increased by 3.0% to $138.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2006 compared to $134.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, but sales volume measured in
pounds decreased by 10.5%. The decrease in sales volume was caused mainly by a 17.9% decrease in
net sales in the Companys consumer distribution channel. This decrease was caused in large part to
the loss of private label business in the latter part of fiscal 2005 with customers that would not
accept price increases. Also, market studies have shown a shift in consumer preference to branded
snack nuts away from private label as the price differential between branded and private label
products has narrowed due to necessary private label price increases caused by the rise in costs of
tree nuts. Sales volume of the Companys Fisher brand were virtually unchanged in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005; however, since the majority of
the Companys consumer distribution channel business is private label, the overall decrease in the
consumer distribution channel was significant.
The Companys gross margin decreased to 9.6% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from
12.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease in gross margin was caused by several
factors. The decrease in sales volume led to a corresponding decrease in production. Manufacturing
expenses of a fixed nature did not decrease with the decrease in production. Almond processing
costs were negatively impacted by the lower quality of purchased almonds used in production. The
shift in sales mix from the consumer distribution channel also negatively affected gross margin, as
consumer sales typically carry higher gross margins than the Companys overall gross margin. The
gross margins on pecan sales were also lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 than the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 due to significantly higher pecan costs. The rising costs of almonds
continue to negatively impact the Companys profitability. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006,
the Company purchased almonds at costs significantly higher than the unit cost of almond inventory
on hand at the end of fiscal 2005. These almond purchases in turn led to an increase in the unit
cost of almond inventory on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The almond
inventory on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was comprised of almonds purchased
in fiscal 2005 and almonds purchased in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. As a result of the
increase in almond inventory cost, the Company recorded a
$2.2 million reserve during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for losses expected on the fulfillment of certain fixed price almond
contracts entered into in fiscal 2005.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $13.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006
from $12.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase was caused primarily by a
$0.5 million increase in legal and audit costs and a $0.2 increase due to the adoption of a
supplemental retirement plan. Interest expense increased to $1.5 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase was
caused by a higher average level of borrowings and a higher interest rate on the Companys
revolving bank credit facility.
The above factors led to a net loss of ($1.1) million, or ($0.11) per share, in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006 compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.24 per share, for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005. While the Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under its credit
facilities, it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the funded debt to
EBITDA ratio covenants under the Bank Credit Facility and Note for the second quarter of fiscal
2006. The calculation of funded debt utilizes a twelve-month average outstanding balance for the
Bank Credit Facility. Outstanding amounts under this facility are expected to be higher during the
second quarter of fiscal 2006 than in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company plans to
negotiate with its lenders regarding the probable violation of the debt covenants. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully renegotiate the existing agreements with
its lenders or that the terms of the credit agreements will not be substantially changed. The
inability of the Company to renegotiate the terms of its existing credit facilities or obtain new
financing could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business.

The possibility of growth and the seasonality of the Companys business that has caused
full-capacity utilization rates at the Companys Chicago area facilities, led the Company to
explore additional means of expanding its production capacity and enhancing its operations
efficiency. As a result, the Company will consolidate its six Chicago area facilities into a
single location in Elgin, Illinois. Of the six current facilities, two facilities and
approximately 20% of a third facility are owned by the Company. Eighty percent of the third
facility, and a fourth facility, are leased by the Company from certain partnerships owned by
executive officers and directors of the Company. The remaining two facilities are leased by the
Company from independent third parties.
On
April 15, 2005, the Company closed on the $48.0 million
purchase of a site in Elgin, Illinois (the Current Site) with the
final $46.0 million paid using available funds under the Bank Credit Facility. The Current Site
includes both an office building and a warehouse. The Company is leasing 41.5% of the office
building back to the seller for a three year period, with options for an additional seven years.
The remaining portion of the office building may be leased to third parties. The 653,302 square
foot warehouse building is being expanded to approximately 1,000,000 square feet and will be
modified to accommodate the Companys needs. Groundbreaking for the expansion occurred in August
2005. The construction is expected to be completed in the first half of calendar 2006. The
Companys existing Chicago area operations will be moved to the Current Site on a gradual basis.
The Company performed an analysis of its existing assets at its Chicago locations, and based on
this analysis identified those assets which will be transferred to the Current Site and those that
will not. For those assets which are not expected to be transferred to the Current Site, the
remaining depreciation period has been reduced to reflect the Companys estimate of the useful
lives of these assets. In addition to the assets being transferred, new machinery and equipment
will also be installed at the Current Site. The Company currently anticipates that operations will
be fully integrated into the Current Site in December 2008.
Total additional expenditures for the facility consolidation project are estimated to be
approximately $40 $50 million, which the Company expects to finance through the Bank Credit
Facility, available cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of existing facilities and
rental income from the office building at the Current Site. The Bank Credit Facility expires on May
31, 2006. While the Company is currently negotiating with its lenders under the Bank Credit
Facility and fully expects to extend the Bank Credit Facility, no assurances can be made that the
Bank Credit Facility will be extended. Also, waivers will be required for the probable violation of
financial covenants under the Bank Credit Facility and Note Agreement for the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. See Factors That May Affect Future Results Risks and Uncertainties Regarding
Facility Consolidation Project.
This facility consolidation project is anticipated to achieve two primary objectives. First, the
consolidation is intended to generate cost savings through the elimination of redundant costs, such
as interplant freight, and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. Second, the new facility is
expected to initially increase production capacity by 25% to 40% and to provide substantially more
square footage than the aggregate space now available in the Companys existing Chicago area
facilities to support future growth in the Companys business. The facility consolidation project
will allow the Company to pursue certain new business opportunities that currently are not
available due to the lack of production capacity.
The Company, along with related party partnerships that own a portion of the Companys existing
Chicago area facilities, is in the process of selling these facilities. The Company intends to
lease back from the ultimate purchasers that portion of the facilities that are necessary to run
the Companys business while the facility consolidation project is completed in Elgin. The Company
estimates that these sale and leaseback transactions will be consummated during the first half of
fiscal 2006. Based upon the bids received, the Company believes that proceeds received from the
sales will exceed the Companys carrying value of these assets. The Companys Board of Directors
has appointed an independent committee to explore alternatives with respect to the Companys
existing leases for the properties owned by the related party partnerships. The Company may be
required to incur costs and/or enter into other arrangements with the related party partnerships in
this regard, however, the amount of any such costs or the nature of any such arrangements have not
been determined.
Prior to acquiring the Current Site, the Company and certain related party partnerships entered
into a Development Agreement with the City of Elgin, Illinois (the Development Agreement) for the
development and purchase of the land where a new facility could be constructed (the Original
Site). The Development Agreement provides for certain conditions, including but not limited to
the completion of environmental and asbestos remediation procedures, the inclusion of the property
in the Elgin enterprise zone and the establishment of a tax incremental financing district covering
the property. The Company fulfilled its remediation obligations under the Development Agreement
during fiscal 2005, subject to final notification from the State of Illinois. The Companys costs
under the Development Agreement totaling $6.8 million are recorded as Other Assets at September
29, 2005 and June 30, 2005. The Company is currently negotiating with the City of Elgin for a
possible transfer of title to the Company from the City of Elgin, after which time the Original
Site would be marketed to potential buyers. The Company performed a review for
13
Table of Contents
realization of the carrying value under the Development Agreement, and concluded that no adjustment
of the carrying value was required.
In order to finance a portion of the Companys facility consolidation project and to provide for
the Companys general working capital needs, the Company received $65.0 million pursuant to a note
purchase agreement (the Note Agreement) entered into on December 16, 2004 with various lenders.
Under the terms of the Note Agreement, the notes have a maturity of ten years, bear interest at a
fixed 4.67% annual rate and are required to be repaid in equal semi-annual principal payments of
$3.6 million beginning on June 1, 2006. The proceeds from this financing were used to reduce the
Companys outstanding obligations under the Bank Credit Facility in order to fund the procurement
of inventories during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and the $48 million purchase of the Current
Site.
The Companys business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and other nut products is highest during the
months of October, November and December. Peanuts, pecans, walnuts and almonds, the Companys
principal raw materials, are primarily purchased between August and February and are processed
throughout the year until the following harvest. As a result of this seasonality, the Companys
personnel requirements rise during the last four months of the calendar year. This seasonality
also impacts capacity utilization at the Companys Chicago area facilities, with these facilities
routinely operating at full capacity during the last four months of the calendar year. The
Companys working capital requirements generally peak during the third quarter of the Companys
fiscal year.
The Company faces a number of challenges in the future. The Companys Chicago area processing
facilities operate at full capacity at certain times during the year. If the Company experiences
growth in unit volume sales, it could exceed its capacity to meet the demand for its products,
especially prior to the completion of the facility consolidation project. The Company faces
potential disruptive effects on its business, such as cost overruns for the construction of the new
facility or business interruptions that may result from the transfer of production to the new
facility. In addition, the Company will continue to face the ongoing challenges of its business
such as food safety and regulatory issues, the antitrust investigation of a portion of the peanut
shelling industry and the maintenance and growth of its customer base. See Factors That May
Affect Future Results.
Total inventories were approximately $198.4 million at September 29, 2005, a decrease of $19.2
million, or 8.8%, from the balance at June 30, 2005, and an increase of $63.8 million, or 47.4%,
over the balance at September 23, 2004. The decrease from June 30, 2005 to September 29, 2005 is
due primarily to the seasonality of crop procurement. The increase from September 23, 2004 to
September 29, 2005 is due primarily to higher costs of tree nuts. Quantities on hand, measured in
terms of pounds, also increased at September 29, 2005 when compared to September 23, 2004, due
primarily to increases in peanuts, walnuts and cashews. Net accounts receivable were $41.3 million
at September 29, 2005, an increase of approximately $2.3 million, or 5.9%, over the balance at June
30, 2005, and a decrease of $0.6 million, or 1.3% from the balance at September 23, 2004. The
increase from June 30, 2005 to September 29, 2005 is due to higher monthly sales in September 2005
than in June 2005.
The Companys fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of
fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). Fiscal 2005, however, contained fifty-three weeks,
with the fourth quarter containing fourteen weeks. References herein to fiscal 2006 are to the
fiscal year ending June 29, 2006. References herein to fiscal 2005 are to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2005. As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the term Company refers
collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its previously wholly owned subsidiary, JBS
International, Inc., which was dissolved in November 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Net sales increased to $138.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from approximately
$134.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of $4.1 million, or 3.0%. The
overall increase in net sales was due to higher prices due to higher commodity costs, especially
for almonds and pecans. While sales prices increased, total pounds shipped decreased by 10.5% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2006 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
The decrease in sales volume was caused mainly by a 17.9% decrease in sales volume in the Companys
consumer distribution channel. This decrease was caused in large part to the loss of private label
business in the latter part of fiscal 2005 with customers that would not accept price increases.
Also, market studies have shown a shift in consumer preference to branded snack nuts away from
private label as the price differential between branded and private label products has narrowed as
private label sales prices have increased due to the rise in costs of tree nuts. Market studies
have also shown a decrease in nut category volume sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Sales volume of the Companys Fisher brand were virtually unchanged in the first quarter of fiscal
2006 when compared to
14
Table of Contents
the first quarter of fiscal 2005; however, since the majority of the Companys consumer
distribution channel business is private label, the overall decrease in the consumer distribution
channel was significant.
Unit volume sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, when compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 2005, also decreased in the Companys industrial (2.1%), food service (6.2%) and export
(3.9%) distribution channels. These decreases were caused largely by reduced demand due to higher
selling prices resulting from the significantly higher costs of tree nuts. The food service
decrease was also attributable to lower airline customer sales.
The following table shows a comparison of sales by distribution channel, and as a percentage of
total net sales (dollars in thousands):

The
Company has recently entered into a new customer relationship for

2009.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased 21.5% to $13.3 million from $16.9
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Gross margin decreased to 9.6% of net sales for the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 12.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease in gross
margin was caused by several factors. The decrease in sales volume led to a corresponding decrease
in production. Manufacturing expenses of a fixed nature did not decrease with the decrease in
production. Almond processing costs were negatively impacted by the lower quality of purchased
almonds used in production. The shift in sales mix from the consumer distribution channel also
negatively affected gross margin, as consumer sales typically carry higher gross margins than the
Companys overall gross margin. The gross margins on pecan sales were also lower in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 than the first quarter of fiscal 2005 due to significantly higher pecan
costs. The rising costs of almonds continue to negatively impact the Companys profitability.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company purchased almonds at costs significantly
higher than the unit cost of almond inventory on hand at the end of fiscal 2005. These almond
purchases in turn led to an increase in the unit cost of almond inventory on hand at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2006. The almond inventory on hand at the end of the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 was comprised of almonds purchased in fiscal 2005 and almonds purchased in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006. As a result of the increase in almond inventory cost, the Company recorded
a $2.2 million reserve during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for losses expected on the
fulfillment of certain fixed price almond contracts entered into in fiscal 2005. Favorably
impacting the decrease in gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 was a $0.3 million almond grower liability increase for the final 2004 crop
settlement recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to a $1.2 million increase for the
final 2003 crop settlement recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $13.4 million, or 9.6% of net sales, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 from $12.6 million, or 9.4% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal
2005. Selling expenses increased slightly to $9.9 million, or 7.1% of net sales, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 from $9.8 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal
2005. Administrative expenses increased to $3.5 million, or 2.5% of net sales, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 from $2.8 million, or 2.0% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal
2005. This increase was due primarily to a $0.5 million increase in legal and audit costs and $0.2
of expenses related to a supplemental retirement plan adopted in August 2005.
(Loss) Income from Operations
Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased to a loss of ($0.1) million,
or (0.1%) of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, from approximately $4.3 million, or
3.2% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $1.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $0.3 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase was caused by a higher average level of
borrowings and a higher interest rate on the Companys revolving bank credit facility.
Rental and Miscellaneous (Expense) Income, Net
Net rental and miscellaneous (expense) income was an expense of $0.1 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 2006 compared to income of $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The
decrease of $0.3 million was caused by expenses at the office building at the Current Site,
including depreciation, exceeding rental income.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit was $0.6 million, or 35.3% of loss before income taxes for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 compared to $1.6 million, or 39.0% of income before income taxes, for the first quarter
of fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate was affected in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 by the
inclusion of non-deductible incentive stock option expense. The effective tax rate for the entire
fiscal 2006 is expected to be approximately 39.0%.
Net (Loss) Income
Net loss was ($1.1) million, or ($0.11) per common share (basic and diluted), for the first quarter
of fiscal 2006, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.24 per common share (basic and diluted), for the
first quarter of fiscal 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
The primary uses of cash are to fund the Companys current operations, including its facility
consolidation project, fulfill contractual obligations and repay indebtedness. Also, various
uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash, such as those pertaining to the antitrust
investigation of a portion of the peanut shelling industry or other litigation.
Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also
significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change based upon fluctuations in
both quantities and market prices of the various nuts the Company sells. Current market trends in
nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006
compared to $18.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase is due to lower almond
and peanut purchases. Nut purchases for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased by 36.3% in terms of pounds, and 18.6% in terms of dollars.
The Company repaid $0.2 million of long-term debt during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared
to $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
Financing Arrangements
The Companys bank credit facility (the Bank Credit Facility) is comprised of (i) a working
capital revolving loan which provides working capital financing of up to $73.6 million in the
aggregate, and matures, as amended, on May 31, 2006, and (ii) a $6.4 million letter of credit (the
IDB Letter of Credit) to secure the industrial development bonds described
16
Table of Contents
below which matures on June 1, 2006. Borrowings under the working capital revolving loan accrue
interest at a rate (the weighted average of which was 6.08% at September 29, 2005) determined
pursuant to a formula based on the agent banks quoted rate and the Eurodollar Interbank rate. As
of September 29, 2005 the Company had $35.1 million of available credit under the Bank Credit
Facility.
The terms of the Bank Credit Facility, as amended, matures on May 31, 2006 and includes certain
restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the Company to maintain specified
financial ratios; (ii) limit the Companys annual capital expenditures; and (iii) require that
Jasper B. Sanfilippo (the Companys Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer) and Mathias
A. Valentine (a director and the Companys President) together with their respective immediate
family members and certain trusts created for the benefit of their respective sons and daughters,
continue to own shares representing the right to elect a majority of the directors of the Company.
In addition, the Bank Credit Facility limits dividends to the lesser of (a) 25% of net income for
the previous fiscal year, or (b) $5.0 million, and prohibits the Company from redeeming shares of
capital stock. As of September 29, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive
covenants under the Bank Credit Facility, as amended. However, it is probable that the Company will
be in violation of the maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio covenant for the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. Violations of financial covenants constitute an Event of Default as defined in the
Bank Credit Facility. Upon an Event of Default, all outstanding amounts, including accrued
interest, under the Bank Credit Facility would become immediately due. The Companys current
business plan also contemplates that the level of availability under the Bank Credit Facility will
need to be increased in order to fund the Companys operations, including the procurement of
inventories and the facility consolidation project. The Company is currently negotiating with its
lenders under the Bank Credit Facility for an extension of the facility and to amend future
financial covenants. Based upon recent discussions, the lenders have expressed a desire to renew
the Bank Credit Facility at terms that are more favorable to the Company and to increase the total
availability. While the Company fully expects to extend the Bank Credit Facility (most likely in
the second quarter of fiscal 2006), negotiate modifications to financial covenants or receive any
necessary waivers and increase the level of availability, no assurances can be made that the Bank
Credit Facility will be extended, financial covenants modified, potential covenant violations
waived or that the level of availability will be increased. If the Bank Credit Facility is not
renewed, the Company believes that it will be able to secure necessary financing from other lenders
who have expressed interest in negotiating with the Company. If the Company is not able to enter
into another agreement, it will have to consider financing alternatives which might include
identifying alternative sources of debt or equity capital or an unplanned sale of assets. The
inability of the Company to modify, extend or replace its existing Bank Credit Facility would have
a material adverse effect on the Company.
On December 16, 2004, the Company received $65.0 million from the Note Agreement to fund a portion
of the facility consolidation project and for general working capital purposes. Under the terms of
the Note Agreement, the notes have a maturity of ten years, bear interest at a 4.67% annual rate
and are required to be repaid in equal semi-annual principal payments of $3.6 million beginning on
June 1, 2006. As of September 29, 2005, the outstanding balance on the Note Agreement was $65.0
million.
The terms of the Note Agreement include certain restrictive covenants that, among other things,
require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios. These covenants coincide with those
included in the Bank Credit Facility. As of September 29, 2005, the Company was in compliance with
all restrictive covenants under the Note Agreement. However, it is probable that the Company will
not be in compliance with the maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio covenant for the second quarter
of fiscal 2006. Violations of financial covenants constitute an Event of Default as defined in the
Note Agreement. Upon an Event of Default, all outstanding amounts, including accrued interest,
under the Note Agreement would become immediately due. The Company will negotiate with the lenders
under the Note Agreement for amendments to future financial covenants or waivers of covenant
violations. The inability of the Company to amend future financial covenants or receive waivers for
covenant violations would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
As of September 29, 2005, the Company had $6.2 million in aggregate principal amount of industrial
development bonds outstanding, which was originally used to finance the acquisition, construction
and equipping of the Companys Bainbridge, Georgia facility. The bonds bear interest payable
semiannually at 4.00% (which was reset on June 1, 2002) through May 2006. On June 1, 2006, and on
each subsequent interest reset date for the bonds, the Company is required to redeem the bonds at
face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest, unless a bondholder elects to retain his or her
bonds. Any bonds redeemed by the Company at the demand of a bondholder on the reset date are
required to be remarketed by the underwriter of the bonds on a best efforts basis. Funds for the
redemption of bonds on the demand of any bondholder are required to be obtained from the following
sources in the following order of priority: (i) funds supplied by the Company for redemption; (ii)
proceeds from the remarketing of the bonds; (iii) proceeds from a drawing under the IDB Letter of
Credit; or (iv) in the event funds from the foregoing sources are insufficient, a mandatory payment
by the Company. Drawings under the IDB Letter of Credit to redeem bonds on the demand of any
bondholder are payable in full by the Company upon demand of the lenders under the Bank Credit
Facility. In addition, the Company is required to redeem the bonds in varying annual installments,
ranging from $0.3 million in fiscal 2006 to $0.8
17
Table of Contents
million in fiscal 2017. The Company is also required to redeem the bonds in certain other
circumstances; for example, within 180 days after any determination that interest on the bonds is
taxable. The Company has the option, subject to certain conditions, to redeem the bonds at face
value plus accrued interest, if any.
Capital Expenditures
The Company spent $5.7 million on capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared
to $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase is due primarily to $2.7 million
spent in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 related to the facility consolidation. The Company
expects to incur an additional $40 $50 million on the facility consolidation project from fiscal
2006 to fiscal 2009, primarily related to the construction of an expansion to the Current Site and
the purchase of capital equipment. Groundbreaking at the Current Site occurred in August 2005. The
Company entered into a contract with a general contractor for an estimated amount of $23.2 million,
$2.1 million of which was paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, to construct the expansion
of the Current Site. This expansion is scheduled to be completed in the spring of calendar 2006.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 that are unrelated to the facility consolidation project are
expected to be approximately $12 million.
The Company, along with related party partnerships that own a portion of the Companys Chicago area
facilities, is in the process of selling these facilities. The Company intends to lease back from
the eventual buyer or buyers of these properties the portion of the facilities that are necessary
to run the Companys business while the facility consolidation project is completed at the Current
Site. The Company estimates that these sale and leaseback transactions will be consummated during
the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Based upon the bids received, the Company believes that proceeds
received from the sales will exceed the Companys carrying value of these assets. The Companys
Board of Directors has appointed an independent committee to explore alternatives with respect to
the Companys existing leases for the properties owned by the related party partnerships. The
Company may be required to incur costs and/or enter into other arrangements with the related party
partnerships in this regard, however, the amount of any such costs or the nature of any such
arrangements have not been determined.

the Companys expectations regarding market risk) are forward looking statements. These forward
looking statements, which generally are followed (and therefore identified) by a cross reference to
Factors That May Affect Future Results or are identified by the use of forward looking words and
phrases such as intends, may, believes and expects, represent the Companys present
expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions that such statements are
qualified by important factors, including the factors described below under Factors That May
Affect Future Results, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward looking statements, as well as the timing and occurrence (or nonoccurrence) of transactions
and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond the Companys control. Consequently,
results actually achieved may differ materially from the expected results included in these
statements.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations
The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of the Companys products, including
peanuts, pecans, almonds, walnuts and other nuts are subject to crop size and yield fluctuations
caused by factors beyond the Companys control, such as weather conditions, plant diseases and
changes in government programs. Additionally, the supply of edible nuts and other raw materials
used in the Companys products could be reduced upon any determination by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) or other government agencies that certain pesticides, herbicides
or other chemicals used by growers have left harmful residues on portions of the crop or that the
crop has been contaminated by aflatoxin or other agents. If worldwide demand for nuts continues at
recent rates, and supply does not expand to meet demand, a reduction in availability and an
increase in the cost of raw materials would occur. This type of increase was experienced during the
last half of fiscal 2004 and during fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for most of
the Companys major nut types. The Company is not able to hedge against changes in commodity prices
because no market to do so exists, and thus, shortages in the supply of and increases in the prices
of nuts and other raw materials used by the Company in its products (to the extent that cost
increases cannot be passed on to customers) could have an adverse impact on the Companys
profitability. Furthermore, fluctuations in the market prices of nuts may affect the value of the
Companys inventories and profitability. The Company has significant inventories of nuts that would
be adversely affected by any decrease in the market price of such raw materials. See
Introduction.
Competitive Environment
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment. The Companys principal products compete
against food and snack products manufactured and sold by numerous regional and national companies,
some of which are
18
Table of Contents
substantially larger and have greater resources than the Company, such as Planters and Ralcorp
Holdings, Inc. The Company also competes with other shellers in the industrial market and with
regional processors in the retail and wholesale markets. In order to maintain or increase its
market share, the Company must continue to price its products competitively, which may lower
revenue per unit and cause declines in gross margin, if the Company is unable to increase unit
volumes as well as reduce its costs.
Dependence Upon Customers
The Company is dependent on a few significant customers for a large portion of its total sales,
particularly in the consumer channel. Sales to the Companys five largest customers represented
approximately 38%, 39% and 37% of gross sales in fiscal 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003,
respectively. Wal-Mart alone accounted for approximately 18%, 19% and 17% of the Companys net
sales for fiscal 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. The loss of one of the Companys
largest customers, or a material decrease in purchases by one or more of its largest customers,
would result in decreased sales and adversely impact the Companys income and cash flow.
Pricing Pressures
As the retail grocery trade continues to consolidate and the Companys retail customers grow larger
and become more sophisticated, the Companys retail customers are demanding lower pricing and
increased promotional programs. Further, these customers may begin to place a greater emphasis on
the lowest-cost supplier in making purchasing decisions, particularly if buying techniques such as
reverse internet auctions increase in popularity. An increased focus on the lowest-cost supplier
could reduce the benefits of some of the Companys competitive advantages. The Companys sales
volume growth could slow, and it may become necessary to lower the Companys prices and increase
promotional support of the Companys products, any of which would adversely affect its gross
profit.
Production Limitations
The Company has experienced significant sales growth as its customer demand has increased. If the
Company continues to experience comparable increases in customer demand, particularly prior to the
completion of the Companys facility consolidation project, it may be unable to fully satisfy its
customers supply needs. If the Company becomes unable to supply sufficient quantities of products,
it may lose sales and market share to its competitors.
Food Safety and Product Contamination
The Company could be adversely affected if consumers in the Companys principal markets lose
confidence in the safety of nut products, particularly with respect to peanut and tree nut
allergies. Individuals with peanut allergies may be at risk of serious illness or death resulting
from the consumption of the Companys nut products, including consumption of other companies
products containing the Companys products as an ingredient. Notwithstanding existing food safety
controls, the Company processes peanuts and tree nuts on the same equipment, and there is no
guarantee that the Companys peanut-free products will not be cross-contaminated by peanuts.
Concerns generated by risks of peanut and tree nut cross-contamination and other food safety
matters may discourage consumers from buying the Companys products, cause production and delivery
disruptions, or result in product recalls.
Product Liability and Product Recalls
The Company faces risks associated with product liability claims and product recalls in the event
its food safety and quality control procedures fail and its products cause injury or become
adulterated or misbranded. In addition, the Company does not control the labeling of other
companies products containing the Companys products as an ingredient. A product recall of a
sufficient quantity, or a significant product liability judgment against the Company, could cause
the Companys products to be unavailable for a period of time and could result in a loss of
consumer confidence in the Companys food products. These kinds of events, were they to occur,
would have a material adverse effect on demand for the Companys products and, consequently, the
Companys income and liquidity.
Retention of Key Personnel
The Companys future success will be largely dependent on the personal efforts of its senior
operating management team, including Michael J. Valentine, the Companys Executive Vice President
Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Jeffrey T. Sanfilippo, the Companys Executive Vice
President Sales and Marketing, and Jasper B. Sanfilippo, Jr., the Companys Executive Vice
President of Operations, which has assumed management of the day-to-day operation of the Companys
business over the past two years. In addition, the Companys success depends on the talents of
James M. Barker, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing, Everardo Soria, Senior Vice President
Pecan Operations and Procurement, Walter R. Tankersley, Jr., Senior Vice President Industrial Sales
and Charles M. Nicketta, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing. The Company believes that the
expertise and knowledge of these individuals in the industry, and in their respective fields, is a
critical factor to the Companys continued growth and success. The Company has not entered into an
employment agreement with any of these individuals, nor does the Company have key officer insurance
coverage policies in effect. The loss of the services of any of these individuals
19
Table of Contents
could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business and prospects if the Company were
unable to identify a suitable candidate to replace any such individual. The Companys success is
also dependent upon its ability to attract and retain additional qualified marketing, technical and
other personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Facility Consolidation Project
The facility consolidation project may not result in significant cost savings or increases in
efficiency, or allow the Company to increase its production capabilities to meet expected increases
in customer demand. Moreover, the Companys expectations with respect to the financial impact of
the facility consolidation project are based on numerous estimates and assumptions, any or all of
which may differ from actual results. Such differences could substantially reduce the anticipated
benefit of the project.
More specifically, the following risks, among others, may limit the financial benefits of the
facility consolidation project:
| delays and cost overruns in the construction of and equipment for the new facility are possible and could offset other cost savings expected from the consolidation; | ||
| the facility consolidation project is likely to have a negative impact on the Companys earnings during the construction period and the time during which operations are transitioned to the Current Site; | ||
| the proceeds the Company receives from selling or renting its existing facilities may be less than it expects, and the timing of the receipt of those proceeds may be later than the Company has planned; | ||
| the facility consolidation project may not eliminate as many redundant processes as the Company presently anticipates; | ||
| the Company may not realize the expected increase in demand for its products necessary to justify additional production capacity created by the facility consolidation; | ||
| the Company may have problems or unexpected costs in transferring equipment or obtaining new equipment; | ||
| the Company may not be able to transfer production from its existing facilities to the new facility without a significant interruption in its business; | ||
| moving the Companys facilities to a new location may cause attrition in its personnel at levels that result in a significant interruption in its operations, and the Company expects to incur additional annual compensation costs of approximately $300,000 to facilitate the retention of certain of its key personnel while the facility consolidation project is in process; | ||
| the Company may be required to fund a portion of the facility consolidation project through additional financing, which may be at rates less favorable than its current credit facilities; | ||
| the Company may be unable to refinance its Bank Credit Facility; | ||
| the Company may be unable to obtain amendments or waivers for future covenant violations under its credit facilities for the second quarter of fiscal 2006; | ||
| the Company may be required to incur costs to exit existing leases; | ||
| the Company may not receive the anticipated rental income for the unused portion of the Current Site; and | ||
| the Company may not be able to recover its investment in the Original Site. |
20
Table of Contents
If for any reason the Company were to realize less than the expected benefits from the facility
consolidation project, its future income stream, cash flows and debt levels could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, the facility consolidation project is a long-term project and
unanticipated risks may develop as the project proceeds.
Government Regulation
The Company is subject to extensive regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration,
the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and
other state and local authorities in jurisdictions where its products are manufactured, processed
or sold. Among other things, these regulations govern the manufacturing, importation, processing,
packaging, storage, distribution and labeling of the Companys products. The Companys
manufacturing and processing facilities and products are subject to periodic compliance inspections
by federal, state and local authorities. The Company is also subject to environmental regulations
governing the discharge of air emissions, water and food waste, and the generation, handling,
storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. Amendments to existing statutes
and regulations, adoption of new statutes and regulations, increased production at the Companys
existing facilities as well as its expansion into new operations and jurisdictions, may require the
Company to obtain additional licenses and permits and could require it to adapt or alter methods of
operations at costs that could be substantial. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations may
adversely affect the Companys business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations
could subject the Company to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as
well as possible criminal sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
business.
Economic, Political and Social Risks of Doing Business in Emerging Markets
The Company purchases a substantial portion of its cashew inventories from India, Brazil and
Vietnam, which are in many respects emerging markets. To this extent, the Company is exposed to
risks inherent in emerging markets, including:
| increased governmental ownership and regulation of the economy; | ||
| greater likelihood of inflation and adverse economic conditions stemming from governmental attempts to reduce inflation, such as imposition of higher interest rates and wage and price controls; | ||
| potential for contractual defaults or forced renegotiations on purchase contracts with limited legal recourse; | ||
| tariffs and other barriers to trade that may reduce the Companys profitability; and | ||
| civil unrest and significant political instability. |
The existence of these risks in these and other foreign countries that are the origins of the
Companys raw materials could jeopardize or limit its ability to purchase sufficient supplies of
cashews and other imported raw materials and may adversely affect the Companys income by
increasing the costs of doing business overseas.
Fixed Price Commitments
The great majority of the Companys industrial sales, and certain other customers, require the
Company to enter into fixed price commitments with its customers. Such commitments represented
approximately 28% of the Companys annual net sales in fiscal 2005, and in many cases are entered
into after the Companys cost to acquire the nut products necessary to satisfy the fixed price
commitment is substantially fixed. The commitments are for a fixed period of time, typically one
year, but may be extended if remaining balances exist. The Company expects to continue to enter
into fixed price commitments with respect to certain of its nut products prior to fixing its
acquisition cost in order to maintain customer relationships or when, in managements judgment,
market or crop harvest conditions so warrant. To the extent the Company does so, however, these
fixed price commitments may result in reduced gross profit margins or generate losses that have a
material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
Inventory Measurement
The Company purchases its nut inventories from growers and farmers in large quantities at harvest
times, which are primarily during the second and third quarters of the Companys fiscal year, and
receives nut shipments in bulk truckloads. The weights of these nuts are measured using truck
scales at the time of receipt, and inventories are recorded on the basis of those measurements. The
nuts are then stored in bulk in large warehouses to be shelled or processed throughout the year.
Bulk-stored nut inventories are relieved on the basis of continuous high-speed bulk weighing
systems as the nuts are shelled or processed or on the basis of calculations derived from the
weight of the shelled nuts that are produced. While the Company performs various procedures to
confirm the accuracy of its bulk-stored nut inventories, these inventories are estimates that must
be periodically adjusted to account for positive or negative variations, and such adjustments
directly affect earnings. The precise amount of the Companys bulk-stored
21
Table of Contents
nut inventories is not known until the entire quantity of the particular nut is depleted, which may
not necessarily occur every year. Prior crop year inventories may still be on hand as the new crop
year inventories are purchased. There can be no assurance that such inventory quantity adjustments
will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations in the future.
2002 Farm Bill
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (the 2002 Farm Bill) terminated the federal
peanut quota program beginning with the 2002 crop year. The 2002 Farm Bill replaced the federal
peanut quota program with a fixed payment system through the 2007 crop year that can be either
coupled or decoupled. A coupled system is tied to the actual amount of production, while a
decoupled system is not. The series of loans and subsidies established by the 2002 Farm Bill is
similar to the systems used for other crops such as grains and cotton. To compensate farmers for
the elimination of the peanut quota, the 2002 Farm Bill provides a buy-out at a specified rate for
each pound of peanuts that had been in that farmers quota under the prior program. Additionally,
among other provisions, the Secretary of Agriculture may make certain counter-cyclical payments
whenever the Secretary believes that the effective price for peanuts is less than the target price.
The termination of the federal peanut quota program has reduced the Companys costs for peanuts,
beginning in fiscal 2003, and has resulted in a higher gross margin than the Company has
historically achieved. Although this margin is now similar to the Companys total gross profit
margin, the Company may be unable to maintain these higher gross profit margins on the sale of
peanuts, and the Companys business, financial position and results of operations would thus be
materially adversely affected.
Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002
The events of September 11, 2001 reinforced the need to enhance the security of the United States.
Congress responded in part by passing the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and
Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act). The Bioterrorism Act includes a number of provisions
to help guard against the threat of bioterrorism, including new authority for the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to take action to protect the nations food supply against the
threat of international contamination. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as the food
regulatory arm of HHS, is responsible for developing and implementing these food safety measures,
which fall into four broad categories: (i) registration of food facilities, (ii) establishment and
maintenance of records regarding the sources and recipients of foods, (iii) prior notice to FDA of
imported food shipments and (iv) administrative detention of potentially affected foods. FDA has
issued rules in each of these categories, which rules generally took effect on December 12, 2003.
There can be no assurances that the effects of the Bioterrorism Act and the related rules,
including any potential disruption in the Companys supply of imported nuts, which represented
approximately 37% of the Companys total nut purchases in fiscal 2005, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Companys business, financial position or results of operations in the
future.
Peanut Shelling Industry Antitrust Investigation
On June 17, 2003, the Company received a subpoena for the production of documents and records
from a grand jury in connection with an investigation of a portion of the peanut shelling industry
by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. The Company believes the
investigation relates to procurement pricing practices but it could concern other or additional
business practices. The Company has responded to the subpoena and has produced documents to the
Department of Justice, and two employees of the Company have appeared before the grand jury. The
investigation, of which the Company and the employees are subjects, is on-going. The investigation
may have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of
operations, and on the peanut shelling industry.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and to commodity prices of
raw material purchases. The Company has not entered into any arrangements to hedge against changes
in market interest rates, commodity prices or foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company is unable to engage in hedging activity related to commodity prices, since there are no
established futures markets for nuts. Approximately 37% of nut purchases for fiscal 2005 were made
from foreign countries, and while these purchases were payable in U.S. dollars, the underlying
costs may fluctuate with changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currency in the
foreign country.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the Bank Credit Facility, its only variable rate
credit facility because the Company has not entered into any hedging instruments which fix the
floating rate. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in weighted-average interest rates would have had
an immaterial impact on the Companys net income and cash flows from operating activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 29, 2005. Based on such
evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that,
as of September 29, 2005, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the
reasonable assurance level.
In connection with the evaluation by management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 29, 2005
that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.
