Note 4 -- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- ----------------------------------------------
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", effective June 28, 2002. SFAS 142
requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill
amortization. In addition, SFAS 142 includes provisions for the
reclassification of certain existing recognized intangible assets as
goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized
intangible assets, reclassification of certain intangible assets out of
previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units
for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. The
Company's recorded assets at June 28, 2002 included both an intangible
asset and goodwill.

The intangible asset consists of the Fisher brand name that was acquired
in 1995. The Company determined that the brand name is of a finite life
and is being amortized over a fifteen-year period. Amortization expense
for the next five fiscal years is expected to be approximately $427
annually.

The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets in the Company's acquisition of Sunshine Nut
Co., Inc. in 1992. The Company determined that it has no separate
reporting units; therefore, the goodwill impairment test was performed
using the fair value of the entire Company.

Based upon the results of management's impairment testing, which
included an independent valuation, no adjustment to the carrying amount
of goodwill and the intangible asset is required. As required under
SFAS 142, amortization of goodwill has been discontinued.

The following table details goodwill and other intangible assets as of
March 27, 2003:

March 27, 2003
--------------------------------------------
Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying
Amount Amortization Amount
-------------- ------------ ------------
Goodwill $2,504 $1,262 $1,242
Finite-lived amortized
intangible assets 6,368 3,134 3,234
------ ------ ------
Total $8,872 $4,396 $4,476
====== ====== ======

As required under SFAS 142, the results for the second quarter and first
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002 have not been restated. The tables
below present the effect on net income and earnings per share as if SFAS
142 had been in effect for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002:

Note 5 -- Stock Option Plans
- ----------------------------
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and
related Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation
plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based
compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the
grant dates for awards under the plans with the alternative method of
SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the effect on the
Company's net income for the quarters and thirty-nine weeks ended
March 27, 2003 and March 28, 2002 would not have been significant.

Note 6 -- Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- ------------------------------------------------
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 became effective in the third
quarter of fiscal 2003. The adoption of SFAS 146 had no impact on the
Company's cash flows, financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". Interpretation 45
requires a guarantor to include disclosure of certain obligations and,
if applicable, at the inception of the guarantee, recognize a liability
for the fair value of other certain obligations undertaken in issuing a
guarantee. The recognition requirement is effective for guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company. The Company adopted the disclosure
requirements of Interpretation 45 effective December 2002.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 amends certain
provisions of SFAS 123 and is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if
any, of SFAS 148.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB
No. 51". FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new
variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003.
For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 will become effective during the first
quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company is currently assessing the impact,
if any of FIN 46.

Note 7 -- Management's Statement
- --------------------------------
The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company. 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
27, 2002 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
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2002.



Item 2 -- Management's 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.

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 March 27, 2003, the
Company's inventories totaled approximately $135.2 million compared to
approximately $99.5 million at June 27, 2002, and approximately $114.1
million at March 28, 2002. The increase in inventories at March 27,
2003 when compared to June 27, 2002 is due to the majority of nut
purchases occurring during the second and third quarters of the
Company's fiscal year. The increase in inventories at March 27, 2003
when compared to March 28, 2002 is primarily due to (i) an increase in
finished goods to support the increase in sales volume, (ii) an increase
in the quantity of almonds on hand due to higher purchases during the
first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003 than the first thirty-nine weeks
of fiscal 2002, and (iii) an increase in the purchase price of pecans.
These increases in inventories were partially offset by decreases in
inshell peanuts on hand due to a smaller domestic crop in fiscal 2003.
See "Factors That May Affect Future Results" - "2002 Farm Bill" and
"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 2003" refers to the
Company's fiscal year ending June 26, 2003). The Company's fiscal year
typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters).

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net Sales. Net sales increased from approximately $67.1 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately $84.3 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 2003, an increase of approximately $17.2
million, or 25.6%. Net sales for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal
2003 were approximately $311.6 million, an increase of approximately
$47.0 million, or 17.7%, over the net sales of approximately $264.6
million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002. The increase in
net sales, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week periods, was due
primarily to higher unit volume sales to the Company's retail, export
and industrial customers. The increase in net sales to retail customers
was due primarily to an increase in private label business through the
addition of new customers and the expansion of business to existing
customers. The increase in net sales to export customers is due
primarily to higher almond sales to the Asian market. The increase in
sales to industrial customers is due primarily to the increased usage of
nuts as ingredients in food products. The Company believes that a
portion of the overall increase in net sales is attributable to the
growing awareness of the health benefits of nuts in the daily diet.

The following table shows a quarterly and thirty-nine week comparison of
sales by distribution channel, as a percentage of total sales:

margin, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week periods, was due
primarily to: (i) the increase in unit volume as certain costs of sales
are of a fixed nature, (ii) changes in the sales mix, and (iii)
generally lower commodity costs, especially for peanuts.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from approximately 10.3%
for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately 11.2% for the
third quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal
2003, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased to approximately 7.9% compared to approximately 8.7% for the
first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002. Selling expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased slightly from approximately 6.9% for
the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately 6.8% for the third
quarter of fiscal 2003. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased from approximately 6.1% for the first thirty-nine weeks of
fiscal 2002 to approximately 5.3% for the first thirty-nine weeks of
fiscal 2003. This decrease, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week
periods, was due primarily to: (i) continuous efforts to control
expenses and (ii) the fixed nature of certain of these expenses relative
to a larger revenue base. Administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales increased from approximately 3.4% for the third quarter of
fiscal 2002 to approximately 4.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from
approximately 2.6% for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002 to
approximately 2.7% for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003. This
increase, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week periods, was due
primarily to: (i) higher employee incentive compensation due to the
Company's improved operating results in fiscal 2003, and (ii) reserves
for litigation expenses established during the third quarter of fiscal
2003.

Income from Operations. Due to the factors discussed above, income from
operations increased from approximately $1.7 million, or 2.6% of net
sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2002, to approximately $3.7
million, or 4.3% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Income from operations increased from approximately $14.2 million, or
5.4% of net sales, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002, to
approximately $22.0 million, or 7.0% of net sales, for the first thirty-
nine weeks of fiscal 2003.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from approximately $1.4
million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately $1.2
million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first thirty-nine
weeks of fiscal 2003, interest expense decreased to approximately $3.5
million from approximately $4.4 million for the first thirty-nine weeks
of fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest expense, for both the quarterly
and thirty-nine week periods, was due primarily to: (i) lower average
levels of borrowings, and (ii) lower interest rates associated with the
Bank Credit Facility, as defined below.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was approximately $1.0 million, or
39.0% of income before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2003
compared to approximately $0.2 million, or 40.0% of income before income
taxes, for the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Income tax expense was
approximately $7.3 million, or 39.0% of income before income taxes for
the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003 compared to approximately
$4.1 million, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for the first
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002.

Net Income. Net income was approximately $1.6 million, or $0.17 per
common share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2003,
compared to approximately $0.3 million, or $0.03 per common share (basic
and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Net income was
approximately $11.5 million, or $1.25 (basic) and $1.24 (diluted) per
common share, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003, compared
to approximately $6.1 million, or $0.67 per common share (basic and
diluted), for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company continued to
finance its activities through a bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit
Facility"), a long-term financing facility originally entered into by
the Company in 1992 (the "Long-Term Financing Facility") and a long-term
financing arrangement entered into in 1995 (the "Additional Long-Term
Financing").

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $10.6 million
for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003 compared to net cash
provided by operating activities of approximately $8.2 million for the
first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002. The decrease in cash provided
by operating activities for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003
when compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002 was due
primarily to (i) purchasing a significantly greater quantity of almonds
in fiscal 2003, and (ii) an increase in the purchase price of pecans in
fiscal 2003. The increases in almond purchases and pecan prices were
partially offset by higher net income in fiscal 2003 and decreases in
peanut purchases due to a smaller domestic peanut crop in fiscal 2003.
During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003, the Company spent
approximately $6.2 million on capital expenditures, compared to
approximately $3.7 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal
2002. This increase was due primarily to the expansion of processing
capacities and capabilities at the Company's Gustine, California
facility. During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003, the
Company repaid approximately $4.7 million of long-term debt, the same as
the amount repaid for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002.

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 May 31,
2003, and (ii) a letter of credit of approximately $7.7 million to
secure industrial development bonds, which matures on June 1, 2006.
Borrowings under the working capital revolving loan accrue interest at a
rate (the weighted average of which was 2.63% at March 27, 2003)
determined pursuant to a formula based on the agent bank's quoted rate
and the Eurodollar Interbank rate. The Company expects to enter into a
new credit facility when the Bank Credit Facility matures on May 31,
2003. As of March 27, 2003, the Company had approximately $15.2 million
of available credit under the Bank Credit Facility.

As of March 27, 2003, the total principal amount outstanding under the
Long-Term Financing Facility was approximately $7.2 million of the
original amount borrowed of $35.0 million. Of the remaining balance of
approximately $7.2 million, approximately $3.9 million bears interest at
rates ranging from 7.34% to 9.18% per annum payable quarterly, and
requires equal semi-annual principal installments of approximately $1.3
million, with the final installment due on August 16, 2004. The
remaining approximately $3.3 million of this indebtedness bears interest
at a rate of 9.16% per annum payable quarterly, and requires equal semi-
annual principal installments of approximately $0.5 million, with the
final installment due on May 15, 2006.

As of March 27, 2003, the total principal amount outstanding under the
Additional Long-Term Financing was approximately $19.3 million of the
original amount borrowed of $25.0 million. Of the remaining balance of
approximately $19.3 million, approximately $4.3 million bears interest
at a rate of 8.3% per annum payable semiannually, and requires equal
annual principal installments of approximately $1.4 million, with the
final installment due on September 1, 2005. The remaining $15.0 million
of this indebtedness (which is subordinated to the Company's other
financing facilities) bears interest at a rate of 9.38% per annum
payable semiannually, and requires equal annual principal installments
of $5.0 million, with the final installment due on September 1, 2005.

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 annual capital expenditures; 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 March 27, 2003,
the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants under its
financing facilities. The Company expects to enter into an amendment
to, among other things, extend the Bank Credit Facility beyond May 31,
2003 and believes that cash flow from operating activities and funds
available under the Bank Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet
working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for
the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 became effective in the third
quarter of fiscal 2003. The adoption of SFAS 146 had no impact on the
Company's cash flows, financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". Interpretation 45
requires a guarantor to include disclosure of certain obligations and,
if applicable, at the inception of the guarantee, recognize a liability
for the fair value of other certain obligations undertaken in issuing a
guarantee. The recognition requirement is effective for guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company. The Company adopted the disclosure
requirements of Interpretation 45 effective December 2002.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 amends certain
provisions of SFAS 123 and is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if
any, of SFAS 148.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB
No. 51". FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new
variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003.
For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 will become effective during the first
quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company is currently assessing the impact,
if any of FIN 46.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------
The statements contained in this filing that are not historical
(including statements concerning the Company's 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 Company's
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 Company's control. Consequently,
results actually achieved may differ materially from the expected
results included in these statements.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
(a) 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, decoupled payment system through the 2011 crop
year. 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
resulted in a decrease in the Company's cost for peanuts. Selling prices
have not been adversely affected in a material manner during the first
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2003. Thus, the Company's gross profit and
gross profit margin were favorably impacted in fiscal 2003 due to the
termination of the federal peanut quota program. There are no
assurances that selling prices for peanuts will not be adversely
affected in the future or that the termination of the federal peanut
quota program will not have an adverse effect on the Company's business.

(b) 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 and other nuts are subject
to crop size and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond the
Company's control, such as weather conditions 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 (to the extent that cost
increases cannot be passed on to customers) could have an adverse impact
on the Company's profitability. Furthermore, fluctuations in the market
prices of nuts may affect the value of the Company's inventories and the
Company's 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 "General" .

(c) 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 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.

(d) Fixed Price Commitments
---------------------------
From time to time, the Company enters into fixed price commitments with
its customers. 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. However, 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
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, 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.


Item 3 -- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has not entered into transactions using derivative financial
instruments. The Company believes that its exposure to market risk
related to its other financial instruments (which are the debt
instruments under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources")
is not material.

Item 4 -- Controls and Procedures
- ---------------------------------
(a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of filing this Form
10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the
Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the
Company's Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting
them to material information relating to the Company required to be
included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

(b) There have been no significant changes in the Company's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its
evaluation. As no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses were
found, no corrective actions were taken.
