Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC and JBSS Ventures, LLC. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts and tree nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Sunshine Country brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. Our products are sold through the major distribution channels to significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers, commercial ingredient users, contract packaging customers and international customers.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements fairly present the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair statement 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. The balance sheet data as of June 27, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2013.

Note 2 – Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market which approximates actual cost. Raw materials and supplies include costs of nut and nut related products. Work-in-process and finished goods include labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Inventories consist of the following:

Table of Contents

Note 3 – Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following:

Customer relationships and the non-compete agreement relate wholly to the Orchard Valley Harvest (“OVH”) acquisition completed in 2010. Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight line basis over seven years. The non-compete agreement is being amortized based upon the expected pattern of cash flow annual benefit over a five year period. The brand names consist primarily of the Fisher brand name, which we acquired in a 1995 acquisition. The Fisher brand name became fully amortized in fiscal 2011. The remaining brand name relates to the OVH acquisition and is being amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

Note 4 – Primary Financing Facilities

On February 7, 2008, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117,500 revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility and subsequently amended the Credit Agreement in March 2010, July 2011, October 2011 and January 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). At September 26, 2013, we had $85,708 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $27,842 and reduced availability as a result of $3,950 in outstanding letters of credit. As of September 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if the entire available amount were borrowed.

Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36,000 (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9,000 (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45,000 (the “Mortgage Facility”). As of September 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We have classified $20,800 under Tranche A as long-term debt at September 26, 2013, which represents scheduled principal payments due beyond twelve months. All amounts outstanding under Tranche B are classified as short-term debt as of September 26, 2013, since the Mortgage Lender has the option to use proceeds of any sale of the site that was originally purchased by the Company in Elgin, Illinois to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B.

Note 5 – Income Taxes

At the beginning of fiscal year 2014, we had gross state tax net operating losses of approximately $5,040 that will expire between 2017 and 2030 if not utilized.

As of September 26, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were not material. There were no material changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

We file income tax returns with federal and state tax authorities within the United States of America. Our federal tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2011 and later. Our Illinois tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2009 and later. Our California tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2008 and later. No other tax jurisdictions are material to us.

Note 6 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock (i) were exercised or converted into Common Stock or (ii) resulted in the issuance of Common Stock. The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

The following table presents a summary of anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share:

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

During the quarter ended September 26, 2013 there was no significant stock option activity.

During the quarter ended September 26, 2013, 11,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vested, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $13.00. Of the RSUs outstanding as of September 26, 2013, 38,000 are vested and the non-vested RSUs will vest over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

Compensation expense attributable to stock-based compensation during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 was $216 and $184, respectively. As of September 26, 2013, there was $763 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

Note 8 – Retirement Plan

On August 2, 2007, our Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee approved a restated Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for certain of our executive officers and key employees, effective as of August 25, 2005. The purpose of the SERP is to provide an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation benefit upon retirement, disability or death to certain executive officers and key employees. The monthly benefit is based upon each individual’s earnings and his or her number of years of service. Administrative expenses include the following net periodic benefit costs:

Note 9 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The table below sets forth the changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) for the quarter ended

September 26, 2013.^(a) These changes are all related to our defined benefit pension plan.

Table of Contents

The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarter ended September 26, 2013 were as follows:

Note 10 – Assets Held for Sale

Since March 2006 we have owned property in Elgin, Illinois (the “Old Elgin Site”) originally purchased for our facility consolidation project. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013 we reached an agreed upon sales contract with a third party which has since been executed. The planned sale of this property meets the criteria of an asset “Held for Sale” in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. No adjustment to fair value less costs to sell was required. A current asset of $6,175 is presented in the consolidated balance sheets at September 26, 2013.

Note 11 – Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix

We operate in a single reportable segment through which we sell various nut and nut related products through multiple distribution channels.

The following summarizes net sales by distribution channel:

The following summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

11

Table of Contents

For all periods presented, the largest component of the “Other” product type is trail and snack mixes which include nut products.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcomes of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially affect our Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial monetary damages in excess of any appropriate accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances.

12

Table of Contents

The carrying value of our revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value at each balance sheet date because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria), the short-term maturity and nature of this balance. In addition, there has been no significant change in our inherent credit risk.

The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our long term debt, including current maturities:

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value based on interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt.

Note 14 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The update requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this update this fiscal quarter. Because the update only affects the presentation of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, the adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 15 – Subsequent Event

On October 29, 2013, our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company, declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend will be paid on December 5, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2013. The ex-dividend date is the close of business on November 19, 2013. The Company obtained the appropriate consent from the Bank Lenders in order to declare and pay this Special Dividend. The total amount of cash expected to be paid to stockholders under the Special Dividend will be approximately $17,000.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC and JBSS Ventures, LLC. Our Company’s Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility, as defined below, are sometimes collectively referred to as “our financing arrangements.”

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, and Sunshine Country brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients, contract packaging and export distribution channels.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 we updated our strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”), the goal of which is to drive profitable growth. Our long-term goals include:

We continue to execute this strategy during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Orchard Valley Harvest sales volume and sales dollars have both seen meaningful increases during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014 we were recognized as a top supplier to one of our largest commercial ingredient food service customers. During the second half of fiscal 2013 we were recognized as the “supplier of the year” by two significant customers, one of which is our largest. We continue to develop our Fisher brand business in China by improving our distributor network and progressing in the establishment of a legal structure to support our long-term business strategy.

We face a number of challenges in the future. Specific challenges, among others, include: high tree nut commodity costs (due to the continued high demand for pecans and walnuts in China) and intensified competition for market share from both private brand and name brand nut products. We will continue to focus on seeking profitable business opportunities to further utilize our additional production capacity at our Elgin Site. We expect to maintain our recent level of promotional and advertising activity of our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands, and to develop new products for all product lines. We have seen recent domestic sales and volume growth in our Orchard Valley Harvest brand and expect to continue to focus on this portion of our business. We believe that our efforts to grow our Fisher brand will be aided by the low acquisition costs of peanuts from the 2012 crop and consistent commodity prices for cashews in fiscal 2014. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business such as food safety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base. See the information referenced in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Due to lower selling prices for most nut types, our net sales of $176.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased 0.5% from our net sales of $177.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Sales volume, measured as pounds sold to customers, increased 7.0 million pounds or 14.0% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Gross profit decreased by $1.2 million and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 17.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased by $0.3 million, or 2.0%, to 9.6% of net sales from 9.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

The total value of inventories on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased by $23.4 million, or 17.4%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

We expect that acquisition costs for domestic tree nuts will increase in the 2013 crop year (which falls into our 2014 fiscal year). While we began to procure inshell walnuts during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the total payments to our walnut growers will not be determined until the second and/or third quarters of fiscal 2014. We will determine the final prices paid to the walnut growers based upon current market prices and other factors. We have currently estimated the liability to our walnut growers and our walnut inventory costs using currently available information. Any difference between our estimated liability and the actual final payments will be determined during the second and/or third quarters of fiscal 2014 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.

We anticipate that peanut market prices will increase during the 2013 crop year due to decreased planted acreage.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Our net sales decreased slightly to $176.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from net sales of $177.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 while sales volume, which is defined as pounds sold to customers, increased by 14.0%. The favorable impact on net sales from the sales volume increase was offset by lower selling prices. Selling prices decreased mainly in pecan and peanut products in response to lower acquisition costs. Competitive pricing pressure at two of our major private brand customers also contributed to the overall decrease in selling prices. Sales volume increased in the contract packaging, commercial ingredients and consumer distribution channels, and sales volume increased for all major product types except cashews and walnuts, both of which were relatively unchanged.

The following table shows a comparison of net sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

15

Table of Contents

The following summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel decreased by 10.3% in dollars, but increased 1.6% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Private brand consumer sales volume increased by 5.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased sales of trail mix, snack nut and peanut butter products. Increased sales of Orchard Valley Harvest produce products also contributed to the sales volume increase. Fisher brand sales volume decreased 11.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due primarily to reduced distribution of inshell peanut products at a major Fisher snack nut customer due to competitive pricing pressure. Fisher recipe nut sales volume declined marginally primarily due to reduced merchandising activity at a major Fisher recipe nut customer.

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 15.3% in dollars, and increased 28.8% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The sales volume increase was due primarily to increased sales of (i) lower priced products such as peanut crushing stock due to a record peanut harvest, (ii) almond products as a result of distribution gains achieved by a major existing customer and (iii) pecan products due to the favorable impact on customer demand from lower selling prices.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 26.2% in dollars, and increased 47.2% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The sales volume increase came primarily from new product launches and increased promotional activity implemented by a major existing contract packaging customer.

Net sales in the export distribution channel decreased by 15.0% in dollars and 13.9% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Sales volume and sales dollars for the quarterly comparison declined primarily because of decreased sales of private brand products and customer attrition.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by $1.2 million, or 3.9%, to $29.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $30.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 17.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decreases in the gross profit and gross profit margin occurred primarily because of reduced selling prices to two of our major private brand customers caused by competitive pricing pressure. These decreases were offset in part by manufacturing efficiency improvements achieved during the quarter and the increase in sales volume. The increase in sales volume did not fully offset the reduction in gross profit and gross profit margin because the sales volume increase was generated mainly by increases in sales of lower-priced products.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased by $0.3 million to $17.0 million. Operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased slightly to 9.6% of net sales from 9.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were $9.9 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.8%, from the amount recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in selling expenses was due primarily to a $0.2 million decrease in marketing and advertising expense due to less radio advertising and sponsorships in the current quarter. The majority of marketing costs and substantially all advertising costs are incurred to promote and support branded products in the consumer distribution channel.

Administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were $7.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 9.5%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due primarily to $0.6 million of asset disposals and other gains that occurred in the prior year first quarter that did not recur this fiscal quarter.

Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased to $12.3 million, or 7.0% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $13.9 million, or 7.8% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased $0.2 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower short-term and long term-debt.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $4.0 million, or 36.9% of income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $4.6 million or 37.7% of income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net Income

Net income was $6.8 million, or $0.62 per common share (basic) and $0.61 per common share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $7.5 million, or $0.70 per common share (basic) and $0.69 per common share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Strategic Plan and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Agreement, dated February 7, 2008 and subsequently amended in March 2010, July 2011, October 2011 and January 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), that provides a revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Increases in our available credit under our Credit Facility, due to our improved financial performance in the past, have allowed us to consummate the OVH acquisition in fiscal 2010, devote more funds to promote our products, (especially our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands), pay a special cash dividend in December 2012 and declare another special cash dividend in October 2013, and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan, which includes expansion into existing markets and international markets such as China.

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 and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This decrease was due to reduced operating results and increased payments of incentive compensation compared to the prior quarter. Our nut commodity purchases were $12.0 million higher during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 than the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to the procurement of larger quantities of almonds at higher prices.

Net accounts receivable were $50.5 million at September 26, 2013, an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.0%, from the balance at June 27, 2013, and a decrease of $13.4 million, or 21.0%, from the balance at September 27, 2012. The increase in net accounts receivable from June 27, 2013 to September 26, 2013 is due primarily to higher dollar sales in September 2013 compared to June 2013. The decrease in net accounts receivable from September 27, 2012 to September 26, 2013 is due primarily to lower dollar sales in September 2013 compared to September 2012 combined with an improved rate of cash collection.

Accounts receivable allowances were $3.7 million, $2.6 million and $2.9 million at September 26, 2013, June 27, 2013 and September 27, 2012, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable allowances at September 26, 2013 compared to June 27, 2013 and September 27, 2012 is generally due to the timing of customer deductions.

Total inventories were $158.1 million at September 26, 2013, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 0.4%, from the inventory balance at June 27, 2013, and an increase of $23.4 million, or 17.4%, from the inventory balance at September 27, 2012. The decrease at September 26, 2013 compared to June 27, 2013 is due primarily to the timing of commodity purchases. The increase at September 26, 2013 compared to September 27, 2012 is due mainly to increased quantities of raw nut input stocks and finished goods to support increasing sales volume.

Raw nut input stocks increased by 10.5 million pounds or 44.4% at September 26, 2013 compared to September 27, 2012. The increase was attributable mainly to increases in peanut inventories driven by increased crop sizes and the procurement of larger quantities of almonds. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased by 15.0% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 mainly driven by lower per pound acquisition costs for peanuts and pecans which were offset in part by higher acquisition costs for almonds.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $3.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the same period last year. We spent $3.1 million on capital expenditures in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $1.6 million during the first three months of fiscal 2013. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment and upgrades, facility maintenance and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2014 to be approximately $14.5 million. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for planned capital expenditures.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to cash used in financing activities of $9.5 million for the same period last year. We repaid $0.8 million of long-term debt during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which was largely all related to the Mortgage Facility (as defined below). The net decrease in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility was $4.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to a net decrease of borrowings under our Credit Facility of $7.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This decrease in short-term borrowings under our Credit Facility occurred primarily as a result of improved cash collections combined with increased grower liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

Challenging economic conditions and increased commodity costs may adversely impact demand for consumer products. These conditions could, among other things, have a material adverse effect on the cash received from our operations. See Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.

Real Estate Matters

In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into the Elgin Site. As part of the facility consolidation project, on April 15, 2005, we closed on the $48.0 million purchase of the Elgin Site. The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse, and affords us increased production capacity, such that we are currently able to offer our services to existing and new customers on an expanded basis.

We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for the available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until replacement tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 71% of the office building is currently vacant. There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures may be necessary to lease the remaining space, including the space previously rented by the seller of the Elgin Site.

On March 28, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary JBSS Properties, LLC, acquired title by quitclaim deed to the site that was originally purchased in Elgin, Illinois (the “Old Elgin Site”) for our facility consolidation project and also entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the City of Elgin (the “City”). In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, JBSS Properties, LLC transferred all of its property and agreements to JBSS Real Estate, LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City assigned to us its remaining rights and obligations under a development agreement entered into by and among the Company, certain related party partnerships, and the City (the “Development Agreement”). The Mortgage Facility is secured, in part, by the Old Elgin Site. We must obtain the consent of the Mortgage Lender (as defined below) prior to the sale of the Old Elgin Site. We currently have an executed sales contract for $8.0 million for the assets located at the Old Elgin Site. A portion of the Old Elgin Site contains an office building that will likely be included in any future sale. We incurred $6.8 million of gross costs under the Development Agreement, and had carrying values of $6.2 million at September 26, 2013, June 27, 2013 and September 27, 2012. These costs are recorded as “Assets held for sale” at September 26, 2013 and June 27, 2013 and “Rental investment property” at September 27, 2012.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Credit Facility with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36.0 million (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9.0 million (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (the “Mortgage Facility”).

The Credit Facility, as amended, is secured by substantially all our assets other than real property and fixtures. The Mortgage Facility is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois, Gustine, California and Garysburg, North Carolina (the “Encumbered Properties”). The encumbered Elgin, Illinois real property includes almost all of the Old Elgin Site that was purchased prior to our purchase of the land in Elgin where the Elgin Site is located.

Credit Facility

The Credit Facility, as amended, matures on July 15, 2016. At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at either (i) a rate determined pursuant to the administrative agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the amount of loans which may be advanced under the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%.

The portion of the borrowing base calculation under the Credit Facility based upon machinery and equipment decreased by $1.5 million per year for the first five years to coincide with amortization of the machinery and equipment collateral. At September 26, 2013, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.64%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisitions and certain sales of assets, cash dividends, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders are entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of September 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At September 26, 2013, we had $85.7 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if this entire amount were borrowed.

Mortgage Facility

We are subject to interest rate resets for each of Tranche A and Tranche B. Specifically, on March 1, 2018 (the “Tranche A Reset Date”) and March 1, 2014 and every two years thereafter (each, a “Tranche B Reset Date”), the Mortgage Lender may reset the interest rates for each of Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the reset interest rate for either Tranche A or Tranche B is unacceptable to us and we (i) do not have sufficient funds to repay amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, or (ii) are unable to refinance amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, on terms more favorable than the reset interest rates, then, depending on the extent of the changes in the reset interest rates, our interest expense could increase materially.

The Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. Tranche A under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.63% per annum, payable monthly. As mentioned above, such interest rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on the Tranche A Reset Date. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.2 million commenced on June 1, 2008. Tranche B under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest, as reset on March 1, 2012, at a floating rate of the greater of (i) one month LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum or (ii) 5.00%, payable monthly (the “Floating Rate”). The margin on such Floating Rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on each Tranche B Reset Date; provided, however, that the Mortgage Lender may also change the underlying index on each Tranche B Reset Date occurring on or after March 1, 2016. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.1 million commenced on June 1, 2008. We do not currently anticipate that any change in the Floating Rate or the underlying index will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The terms of the Mortgage Facility contain covenants that require us to maintain a specified net worth of $110.0 million and maintain the Encumbered Properties. The Mortgage Facility is secured, in part, by the Old Elgin Site. We must obtain the consent of the Mortgage Lender prior to the sale of the Old Elgin Site. A portion of the Old Elgin Site contains an office building that will likely be included in any future sale (assuming one were to occur). The Mortgage Lender is entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Mortgage Facility in the event we default in the payments required under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Mortgage Facility. As of September 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and therefore $20.8 million has been classified as long-term debt which represents scheduled principal payments under Tranche A that are due at least twelve months beyond September 26, 2013. All $5.8 million outstanding under Tranche B are classified as short-term debt as of September 26, 2013, since the Mortgage Lender has the option to use proceeds of any sale of the site that was originally purchased by the Company in Elgin, Illinois to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B.

In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. Also, we currently have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the partnerships at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original $14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of September 26, 2013, $12.5 million of the debt obligation was outstanding

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The update requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this update this fiscal quarter. Because the update only affects the presentation of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, the adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
