ITEM 1
GOLDEN ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP) for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 to
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included
in the Golden Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary
(the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended May 31, 2002.
As of June 1, 2001, the Company changed its method of
accounting with regard to slotting fees. The
Company previously expensed slotting fees as incurred.
As of June 1, 2001 payments for slotting fees were
capitalized and amortized over the expected benefit period,
which is generally one year. The change in accounting resulted
in a pre-tax adjustment in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 of
$63,241. The net effect increased earnings $38,285 net of
$24,956 of taxes or $0.00 per share. This change in
accounting also resulted in corresponding changes to net
ncome, accrued income taxes and prepaid expenses in the
Consolidated Statement of Cash flows (unaudited) for
three-months ended August 31, 2001.
NOTE 2- RECLASSIFICATION
2. Reclassifications have been made in the first quarter of the
fiscal year 2002 statement of operations to conform to
classifications used in the current year in accordance
with EITF No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration
Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the
Vendors Products.
EITF 01-09 was effective for the Company beginning March 1,
2002 and requires certain payments made to customers by the Company,
that were previously classified as selling, general and administrative
expenses to be classified as reductions in net sales. The Company
reclassified as reductions in net sales approximately $2,935,000 of
selling expenses, which were previously classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the period
ended August 31, 2001.
NOTE 3-
1. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31,
2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet
of Golden Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary as of August 31, 2002 and the
related interim consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for
the three-month period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and
results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article
10 to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
As of June 1, 2001, the Company changed its method of
accounting with regard to slotting fees. The Company previously
expensed slotting fees as incurred. As of June 1, 200l, payments
for slotting fees were capitalized and amortized over the
expected benefit period, which is generally one year. The
change in accounting resulted in a pre-tax adjustment in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002 of $63,241. The net effect
increased earnings $38,285 net of $24,956 of
taxes or $0.00 per share. This change in accounting also
resulted in corresponding changes to net income, accrued
income taxes and prepaid expenses in the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows (unaudited) for the three
months ended August 31, 2001.
Reclassifications have been made in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 statement of operations to conform to classifications
used in the current year in accordance with EITF No. 01-09,
Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor
to a Customer or Reseller of the Vendors Products, EITF
01-09 was effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2002
and requires certain payments made to customers by the
Company that were previously classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses, to be classified as reductions in net sales.
The Company reclassified as reductions in net sales approximately
$2,935,000 of selling expenses which were previously classified as
selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement
of operations for the period ended August 31, 2001.
Sale of Tennessee Plant
The Company has received SEC comment letters regarding the
Companys financial reporting of the sale of the Nashville, Tennessee
Plant to Tennessee Chips, LLC in the Companys 10-K Report filed
on August 29, 2001. The Company reported a pre-tax gain of
$425,375 on the sale of the Nashville Plant, and the SECs comments focus on the
issue of whether or not a gain should have been recognized in the year of the
sale or deferred. The Company has responded to the SECs
comments, and management and the Companys Auditors believe
that the Company properly reported the gain from the sale.
At the time
of this filing, the SEC was still considering this matter.
If the SEC ultimately concludes that the gain should have
been deferred, then the earnings for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 2001 would have to be restated and that
restatement could impact previously reported earnings by
not more than $270,000.
Accrued Expenses
Management estimates certain material expenses in an effort
to record those expensesin the period incurred. The most
material accrued estimates relate to a salary continuation
plan for certain key executives of the Company, and to insurance-
related expenses, including self-insurance. Workers compensation
and general liability insurance accruals are recorded based on
insurance claims processed as well as historical claims experience
for claims incurred, but not yet reported. These estimates are
based on historical loss development factors. Employee medical
insurance accruals are recorded based on medical claims processed as
well as historical
medical claims experienced for claims incurred but not yet reported.
Differences in
estimates and assumption could result in an accrual requirement
materially different from the calculated accrual.
Other Matters
The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangement, financings,
or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons,
also known as special purpose entities. Transactions with related parties,
reported in Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Annual Report to Stockholders for fiscal year ended
May 31, 2002 are conducted on an arms-length basis in the
ordinary course of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital was $13.4 million at June 1, 2002 and $12.6
million at the end of the first quarter. Net cash
provided by operating activities amounted to $0.92 million for
the first quarter this year compared to $1.6 million for last
years first quarter.
Additions to property, plant and equipment, net of disposals,
were $0.17 million this year and $0.96 million last year.
Cash dividends of $0.74 million were paid during this years first
quarter compared to $0.75 million last year. No cash
was used to purchase treasury stock this year and $.05
million was used last year, and $0.80 million of cash was used
to increase investment securities this year compared to a
net increase in investment securities using $0.96 million of cash
last year. The Companys current ratio was 2.47 to 1.00 at
August 31, 2002.
Operating Results
For the three months ended August 31, 2002, net sales decreased 4.1%
from the comparable period in fiscal 2002. The decrease in sales is primarily
attributed to an unprecedented sales weakness in the U.S. salty snacks category
during the first quarter. This years first quarter cost of sales was 52.0% of
net
sales compared to 50.4% last year, and selling, general and administrative
expenses were 49.2% of net sales this year and 44.0% last year. These cost and
expense percentages were adversely affected by a combination of the decrease in
net sales and significant increases in employee medical, workers compensation,
general and auto liability insurance costs. The Company also invested heavily
in
advertising and promotional spending in its core market to match competitive
activity during the first quarter of this year and last year.
The Companys investment income decreased 37.1% from last year
because investment levels and interest rates were lower.
The Companys effective tax rate for the first quarter was -41.8% compared
to 36.7% for last years first quarter.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Market Risk
The principal markets risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are
interest rates on its investment securities, bank loans, and commodity
prices, affecting the cost of its raw materials.
The Companys investment securities consist of short-term marketable
securities. Presently these are variable rate money market mutual funds.
Assuming August 31, 2002 variable rate investment levels and bank loan
balances, a one-point change in interest rates would impact interest income by
$8,170 on an annual basis and interest expense by $30,763.
The Company is subject to market risk with respect to commodities
because its ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be
limited
by the competitive environment in which it operates. The Company purchases its
raw materials on the open market, under contract through brokers and directly
from growers. Future contracts have been used occasionally to hedge immaterial
amounts of commodity purchases but none are presently being used.
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking
statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially
include price competition, industry consolidation, raw material costs and
effectiveness of sales and marketing activities, as described in
the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 4
Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Report, The Company carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Companys Disclosure Controls and Procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, The Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys Disclosure Controls and
Procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Companys
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
