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 second quarter
of fiscal 2002 of $39,924 The net effect increased
earnings $24,169 net of $15,755 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 six-months ended November 30, 2001.
NOTE 2- RECLASSIFICATION
2. Reclassifications have been made in the second 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 $2,886,000
of selling expenses, which were previously classified as
selling, general and administrative expenses in the
statement of operations for the quarter ended
November 30, 2001.
NOTE 3-
3. The results of operations for the six months ended
November 30, 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
November 30, 2002 and the related interim consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the six-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, 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
second quarter of fiscal 2002 of $39,924. The net
effect increased earnings $24,169 net of $15,755 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 six months ended November 30, 2001.
Reclassifications have been made in the second
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 $2,886,000 of
selling expenses which were previously classified as
selling, general and administrative expenses in the
statement of operations for the quarter ended November 30, 2001.
Accrued Expenses
Management estimates certain material expenses in an
effort to record those expenses in 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
$11.8 million at the end of the second quarter. Net cash
provided by operating activities amounted to $1.51 million
for the six months this year compared to $.48 million used
for last years first six months.
Additions to property, plant and equipment, net of disposals,
were $.34 million this year and $4.31 million last year.
Cash dividends of $1.49 million were paid during this years
first six months compared to $1.49 million last year.
No cash was used to purchase treasury stock this year
and $.17 million was used last year, and $0.09 million of
cash was used to increase investment securities this
year compared to a net decrease in investment
securities providing $2.48 million of cash last year.
The Companys current ratio was 2.77 to 1.00 at
November 30, 2002.
On January 7, 2003 the quarterly cash dividend
was reduced 50% to $.03125 per share due to lower
earnings caused by sales weakness in the U.S. salty
snack category and significant increases in
employee medical costs.
Operating Results
For the three months ended November 30, 2002, net
sales decreased 6.5% from the comparable period in fiscal
2002. The decrease in sales is primarily attributed to
continued sales weakness in the U.S. salty snacks category
during the three months. This years second quarter cost of
sales was 54.2% of net sales compared to 51.9% last year, and
selling, general and administrative expenses were 48.4% of
net sales this year and 44.5% 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 costs. The Company also
invested heavily in advertising and promotional spending
in its core market to match competitive activity
during the second quarter of this year
and last year.
For the year-to-date, net sales decreased 5.3% from
last year. Cost of sales was 53.1% of net sales compared to
51.1% last year. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were 48.8% of net sales this year and 44.2%
last year.
The Companys second quarter investment income
decreased 17.1% from last year because investment levels
and interest rates were lower. For the six months,
investment income was down 28.5%.
The Companys effective tax rate for the second quarter
was -38.3% compared to 38.5% for last years second quarter
and -38.6% for the six months this year and 37.4% last year.
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 November 30, 2002 variable rate
investment levels and bank loan balances, a one-point change
in interest rates would impact interest income by $1,034 on
an annual basis and interest expense by $33,947.
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,

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.
