NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation - ------------------------------ On June 25, 1999, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the "Company") dissolved two of its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Sunshine Nut Co., Inc. ("Sunshine") and Quantz Acquisition Co., Inc. and merged such subsidiaries into and with the Company. The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). The fiscal year ending June 29, 2000 will consist of fifty-three weeks, with the fourth quarter consisting of fourteen, rather than thirteen weeks. Note 2 - Inventories - -------------------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. Inventories consist of the following: September 23, June 24, 1999 1999 ------------- -------- Raw material and supplies $27,798 $33,998 Work-in-process and finished goods 48,132 55,035 ------------- -------- $75,930 $89,033 ============= ======== 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.

In the opinion of the Company's management, these statements present fairly the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all 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. The data presented on the balance sheet for the fiscal year ended June 24, 1999 were derived from audited financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended June 24, 1999. Item 2 - ------ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- General - -------- The Company's business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and other nut products is highest during the months of October through December. Peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds and cashews, the Company's principal raw materials, are purchased primarily during the period from August to February and are processed throughout the year. As a result of this seasonality, the Company's personnel and working capital requirements peak during the last four months of the calendar year. Also, due primarily to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the Company maintains significant inventories of peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds and other nuts at certain times of the year, especially during the second and third quarters of the Company's fiscal year. Fluctuations in the market prices of such nuts may affect the value of the Company's inventory and thus the Company's profitability. At September 23, 1999, the Company's inventories totaled approximately $75.9 million compared to approximately $89.0 million at June 24, 1999, and approximately $98.3 million at September 24, 1998. The decrease in inventories at September 23, 1999 when compared to September 24, 1998 is primarily due to decreased levels of walnuts, pecans, almonds and cashews on hand due primarily to: (i) lower purchases throughout fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998; (ii) higher sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999; and (iii) lower purchases in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 due to the timing of crop availability. See "Factors That May Affect Future Results -- Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations." The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year, and references herein to "fiscal" years are to the fiscal years ended in the indicated calendar year (for example, "fiscal 2000" refers to the Company's fiscal year ending June 29, 2000). The Company's fiscal year typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). Fiscal 2000 will consist of fifty-three weeks, with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 consisting of fourteen, rather than thirteen, weeks. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Net Sales. Net sales increased from approximately $73.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to approximately $79.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, an increase of approximately $5.7 million, or 7.7%. The increase was due primarily to higher unit volume sales to the Company's retail, food service and export customers. The increase in retail sales was due primarily to higher unit volume sales of the Company's Fisher brand. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased approximately 9.9% to approximately $12.5 million from approximately $11.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Gross profit margin increased from approximately 15.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to approximately 15.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase in gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was due primarily to an increase in the unit volume of Fisher brand sales as a percentage of the Company's total net sales. Also, favorably impacting the gross profit margin was a decrease in industrial sales as a percentage of total net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Industrial sales generally carry lower margins than sales to the Company's retail and food service customers. Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from approximately 11.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to approximately 12.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from approximately 8.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to approximately 10.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase was due primarily to an expansion of promotional activity to support the Company's growth in its retail business. Administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from approximately 3.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to approximately 2.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease in administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the quarterly period was due primarily to: (i) the consolidation of the administrative functions of Sunshine with the Company's administrative functions during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999; and (ii) spreading administrative expenses over a higher revenue base. Income from Operations. Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations increased from approximately $2.7 million, or 3.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, to approximately $2.8 million, or 3.5% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from approximately $2.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to approximately $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease in quarterly interest expense was due primarily to a lower average level of borrowings due to lower levels of inventories. Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.4 million, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company continued to finance its activities through a bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility"), $35.0 million borrowed under a long-term financing facility originally entered into by the Company in 1992 (the "Long-Term Financing Facility") and $25.0 million borrowed on September 12, 1995 under a long-term financing arrangement (the "Additional Long-Term Financing"). Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $16.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to approximately $6.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to purchases of certain nuts, especially walnuts, almonds and pecans occurring later in the calendar year in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company spent approximately $1.2 million in capital expenditures, compared to approximately $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, and repaid approximately $2.7 million of long-term debt, compared to approximately $1.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The Bank Credit Facility is comprised of (i) a working capital revolving loan which provides for working capital financing of up to approximately $62.3 million, in the aggregate, and matures on March 31, 2001, and (ii) a letter of credit of approximately $7.7 million to secure the industrial development bonds which matures on June 1, 2002. Borrowings under the working capital revolving loan accrue interest at a rate (the weighted average of which was 6.65% at September 23, 1999) determined pursuant to a formula based on the agent bank's quoted rate and the Eurodollar Interbank rate. Of the total $35.0 million of borrowings under the Long-Term Financing Facility, $25.0 million matures on August 15, 2004, bears interest rates ranging from 7.34% to 9.18% per annum payable quarterly, and requires equal semi-annual principal installments based on a ten-year amortization schedule. The remaining $10.0 million of this indebtedness matures on May 15, 2006, bears interest at the rate of 9.16% per annum payable quarterly, and requires equal semi-annual principal installments based on a ten-year amortization schedule. As of September 23, 1999, the total principal amount outstanding under the Long-Term Financing Facility was approximately $19.5 million. The Additional Long-Term Financing has a maturity date of September 1, 2005 and (i) as to $10.0 million of the principal amount thereof, bears interest at an annual rate of 8.3% payable semiannually and requires annual principal payments of approximately $1.4 million each through maturity, and (ii) as to the other $15.0 million of the principal amount thereof, bears interest at an annual rate of 9.38% payable semiannually and requires principal payments of $5.0 million each on September 1, 2003 and September 1, 2004, with a final payment of $5.0 million at maturity on September 1, 2005. As of September 23, 1999, the total principal amount outstanding under the Additional Long-Term Financing was approximately $23.6 million. The terms of the Company's financing facilities, as amended, include certain restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios; (ii) limit the Company's capital expenditures to $7.5 million annually; and (iii) require that Jasper B. Sanfilippo (the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer) and Mathias A. Valentine (a director and the Company's 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, (i) the Long-Term Financing Facility limits the Company's payment of dividends to a cumulative amount not to exceed 25% of the Company's cumulative net income from and after January 1, 1996, (ii) the Additional Long-Term Financing limits cumulative dividends to the sum of (a) 50% of the Company's cumulative net income (or minus 100% of the Company's cumulative net loss) from and after January 1, 1995 to the date the dividend is declared, (b) the cumulative amount of the net proceeds received by the Company during the same period from any sale of its capital stock, and (c) $5.0 million, and (iii) 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 23, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage covenant under the Additional Long-Term Financing. On October 26, 1999, the Company entered into a waiver and amendment under the Additional Long-Term Financing, which waived the Company's failure to comply with the fixed charge coverage covenant, and amended the covenant through the remainder of fiscal 2000. The Company also received waivers from its lenders under the Bank Credit Facility and Long-Term Financing Facility for any cross-default caused by the non- compliance under the Additional Long-Term Financing. The Company may not comply with the fixed charge financial covenant under the Long-Term Financing Facility as of the end of the second quarter and remainder of fiscal 2000. While the Company has always obtained waivers from its lenders for past non-compliance with this covenant, and believes it will be able to obtain similar waivers, if necessary, in the future, there can be no assurance that such waivers will be obtained. In the event the Company does not comply with its fixed charge covenant in the future and if it is unable to secure the necessary waivers from its lenders, the lenders will have the right to accelerate the balances due under the facilities. However, discussions with the lender under the Additional Long-Term Financing has resulted in an amended fixed charge covenant for the remainder of fiscal 2000. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, discussions will occur with the lender under the Long-Term Financing Facility, if necessary, pertaining to amending the fixed charge covenant for the remainder of fiscal 2000. As of September 23, 1999, the Company had approximately $34.5 million of available credit under the Bank Credit Facility. Approximately $1.2 million was incurred on capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. No significant capital expenditures are anticipated for fiscal 2000. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities and funds available under the Bank Credit Facility (assuming the Company maintains compliance with the restrictive covenants under the Bank Credit Facility currently in effect, or, in the event of any subsequent non-compliance, is able to obtain any necessary waivers) will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Year 2000 - --------- The Company has substantially completed its review of its internal systems, processes and facilities to determine if it has software or hardware applications that are unable to appropriately interpret or recognize the year 2000 (the "Year 2000"). In addition, the Company has conducted a survey of third parties with whom it has material business relationships (such as customers, suppliers and financial institutions) to determine if they have Year 2000 issues that will materially and adversely impact the Company. The Company believes, based on representations from its software vendors, that its internal computer system (which was installed in 1991) and applications are Year 2000 compliant. Furthermore, a regularly scheduled upgrade of the internal computer system to the latest release was implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The internal computer system is responsible for inventory control applications, financial reporting and payroll. In addition, the Company has reviewed its manufacturing operations and has determined that no material portion of such operations is date sensitive. Certain of the Company's customers submit orders through Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI"), a third party computer system utilized by the Company. A regularly scheduled upgrade of the Company's EDI system was performed during the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company believes, based on representations from its software vendors, that its EDI system is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has also reviewed its desktop computer systems and facilities for Year 2000 issues, and believes that any Year 2000 issues related to such systems and facilities would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Also, the Company has made inquiries of third parties with whom it has material business relationships to determine whether they will be able to resolve in a timely manner any Year 2000 problems materially and adversely affecting the Company. In the course of these inquiries, which have focused primarily on the Company's major customers and suppliers, the Company has not been made aware of any material Year 2000 issues that would adversely affect the Company. In addition, the Company's major vendors are growers, and the Company believes they are not dependent upon computers in order to transact business. Based upon the Company's review of its systems and the Company's survey of third parties with whom it has material business relationships, the Company has not identified any material costs to address, or material risks related to, Year 2000 issues. There can be no assurance, however, that Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company if the Company and/or those with whom it conducts business are unsuccessful in identifying or implementing timely solutions to any Year 2000 issues. The Company intends to continue its review of its Year 2000 status and, as to the extent necessary, will develop Year 2000 contingency plans for critical business processes. In a worst case Year 2000 scenario, the Company presently believes it would revert back to manual applications to perform order entry, billing and other functions. Factors That May Affect Future Results - -------------------------------------- (a) Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations - ---------------------------------------------------------------- The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of the Company's products, including peanuts, pecans, other nuts, dried fruit and chocolate, are subject to crop size and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond the Company's control, such as weather condition and plant diseases. Additionally, the supply of edible nuts and other raw materials used in the Company's products could be reduced upon any determination by the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") or other government agency 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. Shortages in the supply of and increases in the prices of nuts and other raw materials used by the Company in its products could have an adverse impact on the Company's profitability. Furthermore, fluctuations in the market prices of nuts, dried fruit or chocolate may affect the value of the Company's inventory and the Company's profitability. The Company has a significant inventory of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate that would be adversely affected by any decrease in the market price of such raw materials. See "General" . (b) Competitive Environment - --------------------------- The Company operates in a highly competitive environment. The Company's principal products compete against food and snack products manufactured and sold by numerous regional and national companies, some of which are substantially larger and have greater resources than the Company, such as Planters Lifesavers Company (a subsidiary of RJR Nabisco, 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. (c) Fixed Price Commitments - --------------------------- From time to time, the Company enters into fixed price commitments with its customers. However, such commitments typically represent approximately 10% of the Company's annual net sales and are normally entered into after the Company's cost to acquire the nut products necessary to satisfy the fixed price commitment is substantially fixed. The Company will continue to enter into fixed price commitments with respect to certain of its nut products prior to fixing its acquisition cost when, in management's judgment, market or crop harvest conditions so warrant. To the extent the Company does so, these fixed price commitments may result in losses. Historically, however, such losses have generally been offset by gains on other fixed price commitments. However, there can be no assurance that losses from fixed price commitments may not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. (d) Federal Regulation of Peanut Prices, Quotas and Poundage Allotments - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Peanuts are an important part of the Company's product line. Approximately 50% of the total pounds of products processed annually by the Company are peanuts, peanut butter and other products containing peanuts. The production and marketing of peanuts are regulated by the USDA under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (the "Agricultural Adjustment Act"). The Agricultural Adjustment Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder, support the peanut crop by: (i) limiting peanut imports; (ii) limiting the amount of peanuts that American farmers are allowed to take to the domestic market each year; and (iii) setting a minimum price that a sheller must pay for peanuts which may be sold for domestic consumption. The amount of peanuts that American farmers can sell each year is determined by the Secretary of Agriculture and is based upon the prior year's peanut consumption in the United States. Only peanuts that qualify under the quota may be sold for domestic food products and seed. The peanut quota for the 1999 crop year is approximately 1.2 million tons. Peanuts in excess of the quota are called "additional peanuts" and generally may only be exported or used domestically for crushing into oil or meal. Current regulations permit additional peanuts to be domestically processed and exported as finished goods to any foreign country. The quota support price for the 1999 crop year is approximately $610 per ton. The 1996 Farm Bill extended the federal support and subsidy program for peanuts for seven years. However, there are no assurances that Congress will not change or eliminate the program prior to its scheduled expiration. Changes in the federal peanut program could significantly affect the supply of, and price for, peanuts. While the Company has successfully operated in a market shaped by the federal peanut program for many years, the Company believes that it could adapt to a market without federal regulation if that were to become necessary. However, the Company has no experience in operating in such a peanut market, and no assurances can be given that the elimination or modification of the federal peanut program would not adversely affect the Company's business. Future changes in import quota limitations or the quota support price for peanuts at a time when the Company is maintaining a significant inventory of peanuts or has significant outstanding purchase commitments could adversely affect the Company's business by lowering the market value of the peanuts in its inventory or the peanuts which it is committed to buy. While the Company believes that its ability to use its raw peanut inventories in its own processing operations gives it greater protection against these changes than is possessed by certain competitors whose operations are limited to either shelling or processing, no assurances can be given that future changes in, or the elimination of, the federal peanut program or import quotas will not adversely affect the Company's business. (e) Financial Covenants - ------------------------ From time to time, the Company has not complied with certain financial covenants under its three primary financing facilities and it is possible that it may not comply with the fixed charge coverage covenant for one of its primary lenders for the second quarter and remainder of fiscal 2000. A default under one of the Company's three primary financing arrangements constitutes a cross-default under the other primary financing arrangements. Therefore, the Company must obtain a waiver from each of its three primary lenders for a single default'. While the Company has always obtained waivers from its primary lenders for past non-compliance with its financial covenants, and believes it will be able to obtain similar waivers in the future, there can be no assurance that the Company's lenders will always provide such waivers. If the Company is unable to secure the necessary waivers from its primary lenders, the primary lenders will have the right to accelerate the balances due under the financing facilities.
