(the "Company" or "JBSS") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1979 as the successor by merger to an Illinois corporation that was incorporated in 1959. As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms "Company" or "JBSS" refer collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. On June 25, 1999 the Company dissolved two (Sunshine Nut Co., Inc. and Quantz Acquisition Co., Inc.) of its three wholly owned subsidiaries and merged such subsidiaries into John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. References herein to fiscal 2002 are to the fiscal year ended June 27, 2002. References herein to fiscal 2001 are to the fiscal year ended June 28, 2001. References herein to fiscal 2000 are to the fiscal year ended June 29, 2000. The Company is a processor, packager, marketer and distributor of shelled and inshell nuts. These nuts are sold under a variety of private labels and under the Company's Fisher, Evon's, Flavor Tree, Sunshine Country, Texas Pride and Tom Scott brand names. The Company also markets and distributes, and in most cases manufactures or processes, a diverse product line of food and snack items, including peanut butter, candy and confections, natural snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products. The Company's headquarters and executive offices are located at 2299 Busse Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007, and its telephone number for investor relations is (847) 593-2300, extension 6612. b. Narrative Description of Business ------------------------------------- (i) General -------------- As stated above, the Company is a processor, packager, marketer and distributor of shelled and inshell nuts. The Company also markets and distributes, and, in most cases manufactures or processes, a diverse product line of food and snack items including peanut butter, candy and confections, natural snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products. (ii) Principal Products ------------------------- (A) Raw and Processed Nuts -------------------------- The Company's principal products are raw and processed nuts. These products accounted for approximately 87.1%, 87.5% and 86.3% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. The nut product line includes peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, pistachios, filberts, cashews, English walnuts, black walnuts, pine nuts and macadamia nuts. The Company's nut products are sold in numerous package styles and sizes, from poly-cellophane packages, composite cans, vacuum packed tins, plastic jars and glass jars for retail sales, to large cases and sacks for bulk sales to industrial, food service and government customers. In addition, the Company offers its nut products in a variety of different styles and seasonings, including natural (with skins), blanched (without skins), oil roasted, dry roasted, unsalted, honey roasted, butter toffee, praline and cinnamon toasted. The Company sells its products domestically to retailers and wholesalers as well as to industrial, food service and government customers. The Company also sells certain of its products to foreign customers in the retail, food service and industrial markets. 2 The Company acquires a substantial portion of its peanut, pecan, almond and walnut requirements directly from domestic growers. The balance of the Company's raw nut supply is purchased from importers and domestic processors. In fiscal 2002, the majority of the Company's peanuts, pecans and walnuts were shelled by the Company at its four shelling facilities while the remainder were purchased shelled from processors and growers. See "Raw Materials and Supplies" and Item 2 -- "Properties -- Manufacturing Capability, Technology and Engineering" below. (B) Peanut Butter ----------------- The Company manufactures and markets peanut butter in several sizes and varieties, including creamy, crunchy and natural. Peanut butter accounted for approximately 4.0%, 3.7% and 3.8% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. (C) Candy and Confections ------------------------- The Company markets and distributes a wide assortment of candy and confections, including such items as wrapped hard candy, gummies, ju-ju's, brand name candies, chocolate peanut butter cups, peanut clusters, pecan patties and sugarless candies. Candy and confections accounted for approximately 2.6%, 2.9% and 2.8% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. Most of these products are purchased from various candy manufacturers and sold to retailers in bulk or retail packages under private labels or the Evon's brand. (D) Other Products ------------------ The Company also markets and distributes, and in many cases processes and manufactures, a wide assortment of other food and snack products. These products accounted for approximately 6.3%, 5.9% and 7.1% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. These other products include: natural snacks, trail mixes and chocolate and yogurt coated products sold to retailers and wholesalers; baking ingredients (including chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, flaked coconut and chopped, diced, crushed and sliced nuts) sold to retailers, wholesalers, industrial and food service customers; bulk food products sold to retail and food service customers; an assortment of corn snacks, sunflower seeds, party mixes, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products sold to retail supermarkets, vending companies, mass merchandisers and industrial customers; and a wide variety of toppings for ice cream and yogurt sold to food service customers. (iii) Customers ---------------- The Company sells its products to approximately 7,400 retail, wholesale, industrial, government and food service customers on a national level. Retailers of the Company's products include grocery chains, mass merchandisers and membership clubs. The Company markets many of its products directly to approximately 1,600 retail stores in Illinois and eight other states through its store-door delivery system discussed below. Wholesale grocery companies purchase products from the Company for resale to regional retail grocery chains and convenience stores. The Company's industrial customers include bakeries, ice cream and candy manufacturers and other food and snack processors. Food service customers include hospitals, schools, universities, airlines, retail and wholesale restaurant businesses and national food service franchises. In addition, the Company packages and distributes products manufactured or processed by others. Sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 16% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 2002. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 2001 or fiscal 2000. 3 (iv) Sales, Marketing and Distribution ---------------------------------------- The Company markets its products through its own sales department and through a network of over 200 independent brokers and various independent distributors and suppliers. The Company's sales department of 58 employees includes 20 regional managers, 4 sales specialists and 4 telemarketers. The Company's marketing and promotional campaigns include regional and national trade shows and limited newspaper advertisements, including coupons, done from time to time in cooperation with certain of the Company's retail customers. These programs were designed to bring new users and to increased consumption in the snack and baking nut categories. The Company also designs and manufactures point of purchase displays and bulk food dispensers for use by certain of its retail customers. These displays, and other shelving and pegboard displays purchased by the Company, are installed by Company personnel. The Company believes that controlling the type, style and format of display fixtures benefits the customer and ultimately the Company by presenting the Company's products in a consistent, attractive point of sale presentation. The Company distributes its products from its Illinois, Georgia, California, North Carolina and Texas production facilities and from public warehouse and distribution facilities located in various other states. The majority of the Company's products are shipped from the Company's production, warehouse and distribution facilities by contract and common carriers. In Illinois and eight other states, JBSS distributes its products to approximately 1,600 convenience stores, supermarkets and other retail customer locations through its store-door delivery system. Under this system, JBSS uses its own fleet of step-vans to market and distribute nuts, snacks and candy directly to retail customers on a store-by-store basis. Presently, the store-door delivery system consists of approximately 30 route salespeople covering routes located in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky and Missouri. District and regional route managers, as well as sales and marketing personnel operating out of JBSS's corporate offices, are responsible for monitoring and managing the route salespeople. In the Chicago area, JBSS operates two thrift stores at its production facilities and at four other retail stores. These stores sell bulk foods and other products produced by JBSS and by other vendors. (v) Competition ------------------ Snack food markets are highly competitive. The Company's nuts and other snack food products compete against products manufactured and sold by numerous other companies in the snack food industry, some of which are substantially larger and have greater resources than the Company. In the nut industry, the Company competes with, among others, Planters, Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. and numerous regional snack food processors. Competitive factors in the Company's markets include price, product quality, customer service, breadth of product line, brand name awareness, method of distribution and sales promotion. See "Forward Looking Statements -- Factors That May Affect Future Results -- Competitive Environment" below. (vi) Raw Materials and Supplies --------------------------------- The Company purchases nuts from domestic and foreign sources. Most of the Company's peanuts are purchased from the southeastern United States and most of its walnuts and almonds are purchased from California. The Company purchases most of its pecans from the southern United States and Mexico. Cashew nuts are imported from India, Africa, Brazil and Southeast Asia. The availability of nuts is subject to market conditions and crop size fluctuations caused by weather conditions, plant diseases and other factors beyond the Company's control. These fluctuations can adversely impact the Company's profitability. For fiscal 2002, approximately 30% of the Company's nut purchases were from foreign sources. 4 The Company generally purchases and shells peanuts, pecans and walnuts instead of buying shelled nuts from shellers. Due, in part, to the seasonal nature of the industry, the Company maintains significant inventories of peanuts, pecans, walnuts and almonds at certain times of the year, especially in the second and third quarters of the Company's fiscal year. Fluctuations in the market price of peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds and other nuts may affect the value of the Company's inventory and thus the Company's gross profit and gross profit margin. See "General", "Fiscal 2002 Compared to Fiscal 2001 -- Gross Profit", "Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000 -- Gross Profit" under Item 7 -- "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". The Company purchases supplies, such as roasting oils, seasonings, glass jars, plastic jars, labels, composite cans and other packaging materials from third parties. The Company sponsors a seed exchange program under which it provides peanut seed to growers in return for a commitment to repay the dollar value of that seed, plus interest, in the form of farmer stock (i.e., peanuts at harvest). Approximately 80% of the farmer stock peanuts purchased by the Company in fiscal 2002 were grown from seed provided by the Company. The Company also contracts for the growing of a limited number of generations of peanut seeds to increase seed quality and maintain desired genetic characteristics of the peanut seed used in processing. The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of the Company's products, including peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, other nuts, dried fruit, coconut and chocolate, 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 a determination by the USDA or any 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. (vii) Trademarks and Patents ----------------------------- The Company markets its products primarily under private labels and the Fisher, Evon's, Sunshine Country, Flavor Tree, Texas Pride and Tom Scott brand names, which are registered as trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as in various other jurisdictions. The Company also owns several patents of various durations. The Company expects to continue to renew for the foreseeable future those trademarks that are important to the Company's business. (viii) Employees ---------------- As of June 27, 2002, the Company had approximately 1,480 active employees, including approximately 180 corporate staff employees and 1,300 production and distribution employees. As a result of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the number of employees peaked to approximately 1,540 in the last four months of calendar 2001 and dropped to an average of approximately 1,430 during the remainder of fiscal 2002. (ix) Seasonality ------------------ The Company's business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and other nut products is highest during the months of October, November and December. Peanuts, pecans, walnuts and almonds, the Company's principal raw materials, are primarily purchased between August and February and are processed throughout the year until the following harvest. As a result of this seasonality, the Company's personnel, working capital requirements and inventories peak during the last four months of the calendar year. See Item 8 -- "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and Item 7 -- "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- General". 5 (x) Backlog -------------- Because the time between order and shipment is usually less than three weeks, the Company believes that backlog as of a particular date is not indicative of annual sales. (xi) Termination of Federal Peanut Quota Program -------------------------------------------------- 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 had been regulated by the USDA under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (the "Agricultural Adjustment Act"). The Agricultural Adjustment Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder, supported the peanut crop by: (i) limiting peanut imports; (ii) limiting the amount of peanuts that American farmers were allowed to take to the domestic market each year; and (iii) setting a minimum price that a sheller had to pay for peanuts which could be sold for domestic consumption. The amount of peanuts that American farmers could sell each year was determined by the Secretary of Agriculture and was based upon the prior year's peanut consumption in the United States. Only peanuts that qualified under the quota could be sold for domestic food products and seed. The peanut quota for the 2001 crop year (which ended on July 31, 2002) was approximately 1.2 million tons. Peanuts in excess of the quota were called "additional peanuts" and generally could only be exported or used domestically for crushing into oil or meal. Regulations permitted additional peanuts to be domestically processed and exported as finished goods to any foreign country. The quota support price for the 2001 crop year was approximately $610 per ton. The 1996 Farm Bill extended the federal peanut quota program for peanuts for seven years. 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 replaces 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 could significantly affect the supply of, and price for, peanuts. Although the Company has successfully operated in a market shaped by the federal peanut quota program for many years, the Company believes that it will successfully adapt to a market without a quota program. However, the Company has no experience in operating in such a peanut market, and no assurances can be given that the elimination of the federal peanut quota program would not adversely affect the Company's business. 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 the elimination of the federal peanut quota program will not adversely affect the Company's business. (xii) Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks -------------------------------------------- The sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury to consumers as a result of product contamination or spoilage, including the presence of foreign objects, substances, chemicals, aflatoxin and other agents, or residues introduced during the growing, storage, handling or transportation phases. Although the Company maintains rigid quality control standards, inspects its products by visual examination, metal detectors or electronic monitors at various stages of its shelling and processing operations for all of its nut and other food products, permits the USDA to inspect all lots of peanuts shipped to and from the Company's production facilities, and complies with the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act by labeling each product that it sells with labels that disclose the nutritional value and content of each of the Company's products, no assurance can be given that some nut or other food products sold by the Company may not contain or develop harmful substances. The Company currently maintains product liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and umbrella coverage of up to $50 million which management and the Company's insurance carriers believe to be adequate. 6 Item 2 - Properties ------------------- The Company presently owns or leases seven principal production facilities. Two of these facilities are located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The first Elk Grove Village facility, the Busse Road facility, serves as the Company's corporate headquarters and main production facility. The other Elk Grove Village facility is located on Arthur Avenue adjacent to the Busse Road facility. The remaining principal production facilities are located in Bainbridge, Georgia; Garysburg, North Carolina; Selma, Texas; Gustine, California; and Arlington Heights, Illinois. The Company also leases a warehousing facility in Des Plaines, Illinois. The Company also presently operates thrift stores out of the Busse Road facility and the Des Plaines facility, and owns one retail store and leases three additional retail stores in various Chicago suburbs. In addition, the Company leases space in public warehouse facilities in various states. The Company believes that its facilities are generally well maintained, in good operating condition and adequate for its present operational needs. a.

(1) Approximately 240,000 square feet of the Busse Road facility is leased from the Busse Land Trust under a lease that expires on May 31, 2015. Under the terms of the lease, the Company has a right of first refusal and a right of first offer with respect to this portion of the Busse Road facility. The remaining 60,000 square feet of space at the Busse Road facility (the "Addition") was constructed by the Company in 1994 on property owned by the Busse Land Trust and on property owned by the Company. Accordingly, (i) the Company and the Busse Land Trust 8 entered into a ground lease with a term beginning January 1, 1995 pursuant to which the Company leases from the Busse Land Trust the land on which a portion of the Addition is situated (the "Busse Addition Property"), and (ii) the Company, the Busse Land Trust and the sole beneficiary of the Busse Land Trust entered into a party wall agreement effective as of January 1, 1995, which sets forth the respective rights and obligations of the Company and the Busse Land Trust with respect to the common wall which separates the existing Busse Road facility and the Addition. The ground lease has a term that expires on May 31, 2015 (the same date on which the Company's lease for the Busse Road facility expires). The Company has an option to extend the term of the ground lease for one five-year term, an option to purchase the Busse Addition Property at its then appraised fair market value at any time during the term of the ground lease, and a right of first refusal with respect to the Busse Addition Property. See "Compensation Committee Interlocks, Insider Participation and Certain Transactions -- Lease Arrangements" contained in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2002 Annual Meeting. (2) The Des Plaines facility is leased under a lease that expires on October 31, 2010. The Des Plaines facility is also subject to a mortgage securing a loan from an unrelated third party lender to the related party lessor in the original principal amount of approximately $1.6 million. The rights of the Company under the lease are subject and subordinate to the rights of the lender. Accordingly, a default by the lessor under the loan could result in foreclosure on the facility and thereby adversely affect the Company's leasehold interest. See "Compensation Committee Interlocks, Insider Participation and Certain Transactions -- Lease Arrangements" contained in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2002 Annual Meeting. (3) The Bainbridge facility is subject to a mortgage and deed of trust securing $7.0 million (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) in industrial development bonds. See Item 7 -- "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources". (4) The Arlington Heights facility is subject to a mortgage dated September 27, 1995 securing a loan of $2.5 million with a maturity date of October 1, 2015. b. Manufacturing Capability, Utilization, Technology and Engineering --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's principal production facilities are equipped with modern processing and packaging machinery and equipment. The physical structure and the layout of the production line at the Busse Road facility were designed so that peanuts and other nuts can be processed, jarred and packed in cases for distribution on a completely automated basis. The facility also has production lines for chocolate chips, candies, peanut butter and other products processed or packaged by the Company. This processing facility is well utilized. The Selma facility contains the Company's automated pecan shelling and bulk packaging operation. The facility's pecan shelling production lines currently have the capacity to shell in excess of 60 million inshell pounds of pecans annually. For fiscal 2002, the Company processed approximately 48 million inshell pounds of pecans at the Selma, Texas facility. The Selma facility contained an almond processing line with the capacity to process over 15 million pounds of almonds annually. For fiscal 2002, the Selma facility processed approximately 9 million pounds of almonds. The almond processing line is being relocated to the Gustine facility. The Selma facility is well utilized. The Bainbridge facility is located in the largest peanut producing region in the United States. This facility takes direct delivery of farmer stock peanuts and cleans, shells, sizes, inspects, blanches, roasts and packages them for sale to the Company's customers. The production line at the Bainbridge facility is almost entirely automated and has the capacity to shell approximately 120 million inshell pounds of peanuts annually. During fiscal 2002, the Bainbridge facility shelled approximately 76 million inshell pounds of peanuts. The Garysburg facility has the capacity to process approximately 40 million inshell pounds of farmer stock peanuts annually. For fiscal 2002, the Garysburg facility processed approximately 22 million pounds of inshell peanuts. 9 The Gustine facility is used for walnut shelling, processing and marketing operations. This facility has the capacity to shell approximately 50 million inshell pounds of walnuts annually. For fiscal 2002, the Gustine facility shelled approximately 31 million inshell pounds of walnuts. The almond processing line is being relocated to the Gustine facility from the Selma facility. The Arlington Heights facility is used for the production and packaging the majority of the Company's Fisher Nut products, the "stand-up pouch" packaging for its Flavor Tree brand products and for the production and packaging of the Company's sunflower meats. The Arlington Heights facility is well utilized. Item 3 -- Legal Proceedings --------------------------- The Company is party to various lawsuits, proceedings and other matters arising out of the conduct of its business. Currently, it is management's opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Item 4 -- Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders ------------------------------------------------------------- No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 to a vote of security holders, through solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to elect 25% of the members of the Board of Directors and the holders of Class A Stock are entitled to elect the remaining directors. With respect to matters other than the election of directors or any matters for which class voting is required by law, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share while the holders of Class A Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. The Company's Class A Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and there is no established public trading market for the Class A Stock. However, each share of Class A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time and from time to time (and, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, automatically converts) into one share of Common Stock. The Common Stock of the Company is quoted on the NASDAQ National Market and its trading symbol is "JBSS". The following tables set forth, for the quarters indicated, the high and low reported last sales prices for the Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ national market. Price Range of Common Stock -------------- Year Ended June 27, 2002 High Low ------------------------ ----- ----- 4th Quarter $7.16 $6.00 3rd Quarter $6.40 $5.05 2nd Quarter $6.73 $4.90 1st Quarter $6.68 $4.75 Price Range of Common Stock -------------- Year Ended June 28, 2001 High Low ------------------------ ----- ----- 4th Quarter $5.12 $3.50 3rd Quarter $5.50 $3.38 2nd Quarter $4.13 $3.25 1st Quarter $4.13 $2.94 As of August 29, 2002, there were approximately 1,200 holders and 15 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock and Class A Stock, respectively. Under the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Class A Stock and the Common Stock are entitled to share equally on a share for share basis in any dividends declared by the Board of Directors on the Company's common equity. No dividends were declared from 1995 through 2002. The declaration and payment of future dividends will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. The Company's current loan agreements restrict the payment of annual dividends to amounts specified in the loan agreements. See Item 7 -- 12 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --Liquidity and Capital Resources." For purposes of the calculation of the aggregate market value of the Company's voting stock held by nonaffiliates of the Company as set forth on the cover page of this Report, the Company did not consider any of the siblings of Jasper B. Sanfilippo, or any of the lineal descendants (all of whom are adults and some of whom are employed by the Company) of either Jasper B. Sanfilippo, Mathias A. Valentine or such siblings (other than those who are executive officers of the Company) as an affiliate of the Company. See "Compensation Committee Interlocks, Insider Participation and Certain Transactions" and "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" contained in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2002 Annual Meeting and "Executive Officers of the Registrant -- Certain Relationships Among Directors and Executive Officers" appearing immediately after Part I of this Report.

References herein to fiscal 2002 are to the fiscal year ended June 27, 2002. References herein to fiscal 2001 are to the fiscal year ended June 28, 2001. The fiscal year ended June 29, 2000 ("fiscal 2000") consisted of fifty-three weeks, with the fourth quarter containing fourteen, rather than thirteen, weeks. As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms "Company" and "JBSS" refer collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. Effective as of June 25, 1999, Sunshine Nut Co., Inc. and Quantz Acquisition Co., Inc., two of the Company's three wholly owned subsidiaries, were merged into and with the Company. The Company's business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and other nut products is highest during the months of October, November and 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. 14 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. There can be no assurance that future write-downs of the Company's inventory may not be required from time to time because of market price fluctuations, competitive pricing pressures, the effects of various laws or regulations or other factors. See "Forward Looking Statements -- Factors That May Affect Future Results -- Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations" and "Forward Looking Statements -- Factors That May Affect Future Results - Termination of Federal Peanut Quota Program". At June 27, 2002, the Company's inventories totaled approximately $99.5 million compared to approximately $98.6 million at June 28, 2001. While the dollar value of the inventories is very similar for both years, the June 27, 2002 amount contains significantly higher pounds of inshell pecans on hand. The average cost per pound for pecans decreased significantly during fiscal 2002. See "Forward Looking Statements -- Factors That May Affect Future Results -- Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations." To enhance consumer awareness of dietary issues associated with the consumption of peanuts and other nut products, the Company has taken steps to educate consumers about the benefits of nut consumption. Also, there have been various medical studies detailing the healthy attributes of nuts and the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid promotes the daily consumption of nuts as part of a healthy diet. The Company has no experience or data that indicates that the growth in the number of health conscious consumers will cause a change in nut consumption. Also, over the last few years there has been some publicity concerning allergic reactions to peanuts and other nuts. However, the Company has no experience or data that indicates peanut and other nut related allergies have affected the Company's business. Furthermore, the Company does not presently believe that nut related allergies will have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial results in the foreseeable future. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------- In preparing our financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances, we apply our accounting policies as disclosed in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider the policies discussed below as critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks, if applicable, for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Accounts Receivable ------------------- Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts charged to customers, less: (i) an allowance for doubtful accounts; (ii) a reserve for estimated cash discounts; and (iii) a reserve for customer deductions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by specifically identifying customers that are credit risks. The reserve for estimated cash discounts is estimated using historical payment patterns. The reserve for customer deductions represents an estimate of future credit memos that will be issued to customers. 15 Inventories ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Fluctuations in the market price of peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds and other nuts may affect the value of the Company's inventory and thus the Company's gross profit and gross profit margin. If market prices move substantially lower, the Company would record adjustments to write down the carrying values of inventories to fair market value. Customer Incentives ------------------- The ability to sell to certain retail customers often requires upfront payments by the Company. Such payments are made pursuant to contracts that usually stipulate the term of the agreement, the quantity and type of products to be sold and any exclusivity requirements. The cost of these payments is initially recorded as an asset and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as a reduction in revenues. Related Party Transactions -------------------------- As discussed in Note 7 and Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company leases space from related parties and transacts with other related parties in the normal course of business. These related party transactions are conducted on an arm's-length basis. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of certain items to net sales for the periods indicated and the percentage increase or decrease of such items from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002 and from fiscal 2000 to fiscal 2001.

Percentage of Net Sales Percentage Increase (Decrease) ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Fiscal 2002 Fiscal 2001 Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 2002 vs. 2001 Fiscal 2001 vs. 2000 ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------------- -------------------- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 2.5% 4.3% Gross profit 14.1 15.4 15.2 (6.4) 5.5 Selling expenses 6.1 6.6 6.7 (5.4) 3.0 Administrative expenses 2.7 2.7 2.7 4.7 2.9 Income from operations 5.2 6.1 5.8 (12.2) 9.7

Fiscal 2002 Compared to Fiscal 2001 ----------------------------------- Net Sales. Net sales increased from approximately $334.9 million for fiscal 2001 to approximately $343.2 million for fiscal 2002, an increase of approximately $8.4 million or 2.5%. The increase in net sales was due primarily to higher unit volume sales to the Company's retail and contract packaging customers, partially offset by lower unit volume sales to the Company's industrial customers during the first half of fiscal 2002. The increase in sales to retail customers was due primarily to increased sales of private label products, especially to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The decrease in sales to industrial customers was due primarily to high sales of pecans during the first half of fiscal 2001. The increase in net sales was accomplished despite lower average selling prices during the last half of fiscal 2002, due to lower commodity costs for pecans, cashews and almonds. Gross Profit. Gross profit in fiscal 2002 decreased 6.4% to approximately $48.3 million from approximately $51.6 million for fiscal 2001. Gross profit margin decreased from 15.4% for fiscal 2001 to 14.1% for fiscal 2002. The decrease in gross profit margin was due primarily to: (i) a decrease in gross profit margin on sales to industrial customers, (ii) an increase in private label sales 16 to retail customers, which sales generally carry lower gross profit margins than sales of branded products and (iii) an increase in sales to contract packaging customers, which sales generally carry lower margins than sales to the Company's other customers. Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 9.3% for fiscal 2001 to 8.9% for fiscal 2002. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 6.6% for fiscal 2001 to 6.1% for fiscal 2002. This decrease was due primarily to the fixed nature of these expenses relative to a larger revenue base and the Company's efforts to control costs. Administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 2.7% for both fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001. Income from Operations. Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased from approximately $20.4 million, or 6.1% of net sales, for fiscal 2001 to approximately $17.9 million, or 5.2% of net sales, for fiscal 2002. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from approximately $8.4 million for fiscal 2001 to approximately $5.8 million for fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to: (i) lower average levels of borrowings due to lower average levels of inventories and (ii) lower interest rates associated with the Bank Credit Facility, as defined below. Income Taxes. Income tax expense was approximately $5.0 million, or 39.6% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2002, compared to approximately $5.1 million, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2001. Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000 ----------------------------------- Net Sales. Net sales increased from approximately $320.9 million for fiscal 2000 to approximately $334.9 million for fiscal 2001, an increase of approximately $14.0 million or 4.3%. The increase in net sales was due primarily to increased unit volume sales to the Company's contract packaging, industrial and food service customers. Sales to retail customers increased slightly, as increases in private label sales were offset by decreases in sales of branded products. Gross Profit. Gross profit in fiscal 2001 increased 5.5% to approximately $51.6 million from approximately $48.9 million for fiscal 2000. Gross profit margin increased from 15.2% for fiscal 2000 to 15.4% for fiscal 2001. This increase was due primarily to lower promotional costs (which are recorded as reductions in revenue) in fiscal 2001 than in fiscal 2000. Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 9.4% for fiscal 2000 to 9.3% for fiscal 2001. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from 6.7% for fiscal 2000 to 6.6% for fiscal 2001. This slight decrease was due primarily to the fixed nature of these expenses relative to a larger revenue base. Administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 2.7% for both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. Income from Operations. Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations increased from approximately $18.6 million, or 5.8% of net sales, for fiscal 2000 to approximately $20.4 million, or 6.1% of net sales, for fiscal 2001. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from approximately $8.0 million for fiscal 2000 to approximately $8.4 million for fiscal 2001. This increase was due primarily to higher average levels of borrowings for the first three quarters of fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 resulting from higher average levels of inventories during the first three quarters of fiscal 2001. Interest expense decreased to approximately $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 from approximately $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. This decrease was due to lower average levels of borrowings during the quarterly period combined with lower interest rates on the Bank Credit Facility, as defined below. 17 Income Taxes. Income tax expense was approximately $5.1 million, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2001, compared to approximately $4.5 million, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2000 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- General ------- During fiscal 2002, the Company continued to finance its activities through a bank revolving credit facility entered into on March 31, 1998 and last amended on May 20, 2002 (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 $24.4 million for fiscal 2002 compared to approximately $18.3 million for fiscal 2001. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved working capital management. The largest component of net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2002 was approximately $4.6 million in capital expenditures, compared to approximately $8.4 million during fiscal 2001. The decrease in capital expenditures was due primarily to the expansion of the Company's walnut shelling operations at its Gustine, California facility during fiscal 2001. Notes payable decreased to approximately $23.5 million at June 27, 2002 from approximately $37.5 million at June 28, 2001. During both fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, the Company repaid approximately $5.7 million of long-term debt. Financing Arrangements ---------------------- The Bank Credit Facility is comprised of (i) a working capital revolving loan which provides working capital financing of up to approximately $62.3 million, in the aggregate, and matures, as amended, on May 31, 2003, and (ii) a $7.7 million letter of credit (the "IDB Letter of Credit") to secure the industrial development bonds described below which matures on June 1, 2006. The IDB Letter of Credit replaced a prior letter of credit that matured on June 1, 2002. Borrowings under the working capital revolving loan accrue interest at a rate (the weighted average of which was 3.20% at June 27, 2002) 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 at rates ranging from 7.34% to 9.18% per annum payable quarterly, and requires equal semi-annual principal installment payments 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 semi-annual principal installment payments of $475 thousand through maturity. As of June 27, 2002, there was approximately $10.1 million total principal amount outstanding under the Long-Term Financing Facility. The Additional Long-Term Financing has a maturity date of September 1, 2005 and (i) as to $10.0 million of the total $25.0 million of borrowings thereunder, bears interest at an annual rate of 8.30% 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 total borrowings thereunder, bears interest at an annual rate of 9.38% payable semiannually and requires annual principal payments of $5.0 million beginning on September 1, 2003 through maturity. As of June 27, 2002, the total principal amount outstanding under the Additional Long-Term Financing was approximately $20.7 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 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 18 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 June 27, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants, as amended, under its financing facilities. The Company has $7.0 million in aggregate principal amount of industrial development bonds outstanding which was used to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Company's Bainbridge, Georgia facility (the "IDB Financing"). The bonds bear interest payable semiannually at 4.00% (which was reset on June 1, 2002) through May 2006. On June 1, 2006, and on each subsequent interest reset date for the bonds, the Company is required to redeem the bonds at face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest, unless a bondholder elects to retain his or her bonds. Any bonds redeemed by the Company at the demand of a bondholder on the reset date are required to be remarketed by the underwriter of the bonds on a "best efforts" basis. Funds for the redemption of bonds on the demand of any bondholder are required to be obtained from the following sources in the following order of priority: (i) funds supplied by the Company for redemption; (ii) proceeds from the remarketing of the bonds; (iii) proceeds from a drawing under the IDB Letter of Credit; or (iv) in the event funds from the foregoing sources are insufficient, a mandatory payment by the Company. Drawings under the IDB Letter of Credit to redeem bonds on the demand of any bondholder are payable in full by the Company upon demand of the lenders under the Bank Credit Facility. In addition, the Company is required to redeem the bonds in varying annual installments, ranging from approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2003 to approximately $0.8 million in fiscal 2017. The Company is also required to redeem the bonds in certain other circumstances; for example, within 180 days after any determination that interest on the bonds is taxable. The Company has the option, subject to certain conditions, to redeem the bonds at face value plus accrued interest, if any. Capital Expenditures -------------------- For fiscal 2002, capital expenditures were approximately $4.6 million. The Company believes that capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 will be in the $8.0 - $9.0 million range as processing capacities are increased, primarily at the Gustine facility. Capital Resources ----------------- As of June 27, 2002, the Company had approximately $37.3 million of available credit under the Bank Credit Facility. Scheduled long-term debt payments for fiscal 2003 are approximately $5.7 million. Scheduled operating lease payments are approximately $0.6 million. The Company 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. 19 Contractual Cash Obligations ---------------------------- At June 27, 2002, the Company had the following contractual cash obligations (amounts in thousands):

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -------------------------------- For the year ended June 27, 2002, the Company adopted certain matters addressed in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives", and EITF 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products". Certain costs, which were recorded as selling and administrative expenses, are now recorded as a reduction in revenue. Similar reclassifications have been made to prior period comparative information. These reclassifications were not material and had no impact on the Company's net income or financial position. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. With the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life. Instead, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. In addition, under the new rules, acquired intangible assets will be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. The provisions of SFAS 142 must be applied with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this standard. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 beginning June 28, 2002. Any adjustments arising from the initial impairment assessment would be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS 143 will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this standard. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. SFAS 144 will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this standard. 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 will become effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. 20 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS -------------------------- The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Chairman's letter to stockholders accompanying the Annual Report on Form 10-K delivered to stockholders, 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 "intend", "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 that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements, including the factors described below under "Factors That May Affect Future Results", as well as the timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) 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 -------------------------------------- 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 a determination by the United States Department of Agriculture (the "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 and resulting 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 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- General." 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. This competitive pricing 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. 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, 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. 21 Termination of Federal Peanut Quota Program ------------------------------------------- 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 had been regulated by the USDA under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (the "Agricultural Adjustment Act"). The Agricultural Adjustment Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder, supported the peanut crop by: (i) limiting peanut imports; (ii) limiting the amount of peanuts that American farmers were allowed to take to the domestic market each year; and (iii) setting a minimum price that a sheller had to pay for peanuts which could be sold for domestic consumption. The amount of peanuts that American farmers could sell each year was determined by the Secretary of Agriculture and was based upon the prior year's peanut consumption in the United States. Only peanuts that qualified under the quota could be sold for domestic food products and seed. The peanut quota for the 2001 crop year (which ended on July 31, 2002) was approximately 1.2 million tons. Peanuts in excess of the quota were called "additional peanuts" and generally could only be exported or used domestically for crushing into oil or meal. Regulations permitted additional peanuts to be domestically processed and exported as finished goods to any foreign country. The quota support price for the 2001 crop year was approximately $610 per ton. The 1996 Farm Bill extended the federal peanut quota program for peanuts for seven years. 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 replaces 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 could significantly affect the supply of, and price for, peanuts. Although the Company has successfully operated in a market shaped by the federal peanut quota program for many years, the Company believes that it will adapt to a market without a quota program. However, the Company has no experience in operating in such a peanut market, and no assurances can be given that the elimination of the federal peanut quota program would not adversely affect the Company's business. 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 the elimination of the federal peanut quota program will not adversely affect the Company's business. Item 7A -- 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 8 -- Financial Statements and Supplementary Data ----------------------------------------------------- 22 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. has prepared and is responsible for the integrity of the information presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the Company's financial statements.

Valentine Executive Vice President Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 27, 2002 and June 28, 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the each of the three years in the period ended June 27, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ------------------------------ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Chicago, Illinois August 14, 2002 23 JOHN B.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands, except per share data) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------------------- Basis of consolidation ---------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, "JBSS" or the "Company"). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. On June 25, 1999, the Company dissolved two of its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Sunshine Nut Co., Inc. and Quantz Acquisition Co., Inc. and merged such subsidiaries into John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. Nature of business ------------------ The Company processes and sells shelled and inshell nuts and other snack foods in both retail and wholesale markets. The Company has plants located throughout the United States. Revenues are generated from sales to a variety of customers, including several major retailers and the U.S. government. The related accounts receivable from sales are unsecured. Revenue recognition ------------------- The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred, sales terms are complete, customer acceptance has occurred and payment is reasonably assured. Accounts Receivable ------------------- Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts charged to customers, less: (i) an allowance for doubtful accounts; (ii) a reserve for estimated cash discounts; and (iii) a reserve for customer deductions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by specifically identifying customers that are credit risks. The reserve for estimated cash discounts is estimated using historical payment patterns. The reserve for customer deductions represents an estimate of future credit memos that will be issued to customers. Inventories ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The value of inventories may be impacted by market price fluctuations. Customer Incentives ------------------- The ability to sell to certain retail customers often requires upfront payments by the Company. Such payments are made pursuant to contracts that usually stipulate the term of the agreement, the quantity and type of products to be sold and any exclusivity requirements. The cost of these payments is initially recorded as an asset and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Total customer incentives included in the "Miscellaneous assets" and "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" captions are $3,399 at June 27, 2002 and $2,168 at June 28, 2001. Amortization expense, which is recorded as a reduction in revenues, was $1,865, $1,528 and $3,095 for the years ended June 27, 2002, June 28, 2001 and June 29, 2000, respectively. Properties ---------- Properties are stated at cost. Cost is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings -- 30 to 40 years, machinery and equipment -- 5 to 10 years, furniture and leasehold improvements -- 5 to 10 years and vehicles -- 3 to 5 years. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. 29 Certain lease transactions relating to the financing of buildings are accounted for as capital leases, whereby the present value of future rental payments, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, is recorded as a liability. A corresponding amount is capitalized as the cost of the assets and is amortized on a straight- line basis over the estimated lives of the assets or over the lease terms which range from 20 to 30 years, whichever is shorter. See also Note 7. Income taxes ------------ The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reported in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company considers all expected future events other than changes in tax law or rates. Fair value of financial instruments ----------------------------------- Based on borrowing rates presently available to the Company under similar borrowing arrangements, the Company believes the recorded amount of its long-term debt obligations approximates fair market value. The carrying amount of the Company's other financial instruments approximates their estimated fair value based on market prices for the same or similar type of financial instruments. Significant customers --------------------- The highly competitive nature of the Company's business provides an environment for the loss of customers and the opportunity for new customers. Net sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. represented approximately 16% of the Company's net sales for the year ended June 27, 2002. Management estimates -------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Goodwill and other long-lived assets ------------------------------------ Goodwill, which represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 20 years. Other intangible assets, which represent amounts assigned at the time of a purchase acquisition, consist of patents and were amortized over 6 years and became fully amortized during the year ended June 28, 2001. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and other long- lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. This review is performed by comparing estimated undiscounted future cash flows from use and eventual disposition of the asset to the recorded value of the asset. Recent accounting pronouncements -------------------------------- For the year ended June 27, 2002, the Company adopted certain matters addressed in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," and EITF 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products". Certain costs, which were recorded as selling and administrative expenses, are now recorded as a reduction in revenue. Similar reclassifications have been made to prior period comparative information. These reclassifications were not material and had no impact on the Company's net income or financial position. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 141 requires that all 30 business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. With the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life. Instead, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. In addition, under the new rules, acquired intangible assets will be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. The provisions of SFAS 142 must be applied with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 beginning June 28, 2002. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this standard. Any adjustments arising from the initial impairment assessment would be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS 143 will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this standard. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. SFAS 144 will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this standard. 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 will become effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER 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. The following table presents the required earnings per share disclosures: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended June 27, 2002 June 28, 2001 June 29, 2000 ------------- ------------- ------------- Net income $7,691 $7,595 $6,757 Weighted average shares outstanding 9,149,672 9,148,565 9,148,565 Basic earnings per common share $ 0.84 $ 0.83 $ 0.74 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 45,279 1,767 162 Weighted average shares outstanding 9,194,951 9,150,332 9,148,727 Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.84 $ 0.83 $ 0.74 The following table summarizes the weighted average number of options which were outstanding for the periods presented but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the Common Stock: Weighted Average Number of Options Exercise Price ----------------- ---------------- Year ended June 27, 2002 166,256 $10.07 Year ended June 28, 2001 450,735 $ 8.16 Year ended June 29, 2000 406,239 $ 8.63 31 NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK --------------------- The Company's Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Class A Stock"), has cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of those directors which the holders of Class A Stock are entitled to elect, and 10 votes per share on all other matters on which holders of the Company's Class A Stock and Common Stock are entitled to vote. In addition, each share of Class A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into one share of Common Stock and automatically converts into one share of Common Stock upon any sale or transfer other than to related individuals.

The standby letter of credit replaced a prior letter of credit securing certain industrial development bonds that financed the original acquisition, construction, and equipping of the Company's Bainbridge, Georgia facility. The Bank Credit Facility, as amended, includes certain restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth; (ii) comply with specified ratios; (iii) limit annual capital expenditures to the greater of $7,500 or an amount calculated using a specified ratio; (iv) restrict dividends to the lesser of 25% of net income for the previous fiscal year or $5,000; (v) prohibit the Company from redeeming shares of capital stock; and (vi) require that certain officers and stockholders of the Company, together with their respective family members and certain trusts created for the benefits of their respective children, continue to own shares representing the right to elect a majority of the directors of the Company.

On June 1, 1997, the Company remarketed the bonds, resetting the interest rate at 5.375% through May 2002, and at a market rate to be determined thereafter. On June 1, 2002, the Company remarketed the bonds, resetting the interest rate at 4% through May 2006, and at a market rate to be determined thereafter. On June 1, 2006, and on each subsequent interest reset date for the bonds, the Company is required to redeem the bonds at face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest, unless a bondholder elects to retain his or her bonds. Any bonds redeemed by the Company at the demand of a bondholder on the reset date are required to be remarketed by the underwriter of the bonds on a "best efforts" basis. The agreement requires the Company to redeem the bonds in varying annual installments, ranging from $250 to $780 annually through 2017. The Company is also required to redeem the bonds in certain other circumstances, for example, within 180 days after any determination that interest on the bonds is taxable. The Company has the option at any time, however, subject to certain conditions, to redeem the bonds at face value plus accrued interest, if any. On September 29, 1992, the Company entered into a long-term financing facility with a major insurance company (the "Long-Term Financing Facility") which provided financing to the Company evidenced by promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $14,000 (the "Initial Financing"). The Initial Financing was comprised of (i) a $4,000 7.87% Senior Secured Term Note due 2004 (the "Series A Note"), (ii) a $6,000 8.22% Senior Secured Term Note due 2004 (the "Series B Note"), and (iii) a $4,000 8.22% Senior Secured Term Note due 2004 (the "Series C Note"). In addition, the Long-Term Financing Facility included a shelf facility providing for the issuance by the Company of additional promissory notes with an aggregate original principal amount of up to $11,000 (the "Shelf Facility"). On January 15, 1993, the Company borrowed $3,000 under the Shelf Facility evidenced by an 8.33% Senior Secured Term Note due 2004 (the "Series D Note"). On September 15, 1993, the Company borrowed the remaining $8,000 available under the Shelf Facility evidenced by a 6.49% Senior Secured Term Note due 2004 (the "Series E Note"). 34 On October 19, 1993, the Long-Term Financing Facility was amended to provide for an additional shelf facility providing for the issuance by the Company of additional promissory notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $10,000 and to terminate and release all liens and security interests in Company properties. On June 23, 1994, the Company borrowed $10,000 under the additional shelf facility evidenced by an $8,000 8.31% Series F Senior Note due May 15, 2006 (the "Series F-1 Note") and a $2,000 8.31% Series F Senior Note due May 15, 2006 (the "Series F-2 Note"). Effective January 1, 1997, the interest rates on each promissory note comprising the Long-Term Financing Facility were increased by 0.85%, due to the Company not meeting the required ratio of (a) net income plus interest expense to (b) senior funded debt for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Long-Term Financing Facility includes certain restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios; (ii) require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth; (iii) restrict dividends to a maximum of 25% of cumulative net income from and after January 1, 1995 to the date the dividend is declared; and (iv) require that certain officers and stockholders of the Company, together with their respective family members and certain trusts created for the benefits of their respective children, continue to own shares representing the right to elect a majority of the directors of the Company.

On September 12, 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $25,000 under an unsecured long-term financing arrangement (the "Additional Long-Term Financing"). The Additional Long-Term Financing has a maturity date of September 1, 2005 and (i) as to $10,000 of the principal amount thereof, bears interest at an annual rate of 8.30% and requires annual principal payments of approximately $1,429 through maturity, and (ii) as to the other $15,000 of the principal amount thereof (which is subordinated to the Company's other debt facilities), bears interest at an annual rate of 9.38% and requires annual principal payments of $5,000 beginning on September 1, 2003 through maturity. The Additional Long-Term Financing includes certain restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios; (ii) require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth; and (iii) limit cumulative dividends to the sum of (a) 50% of the Company's cumulative net income (or minus 100% of a 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) $5,000.

NOTE 10 - 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the effect on the Company's net income for the years ended June 27, 2002, June 28, 2001 and June 29, 2000 would not have been significant. In October 1991, JBSS adopted a stock option plan (the "1991 Stock Option Plan") which became effective on December 10, 1991 and was terminated early by the Board of Directors on February 28, 1995. Pursuant to the terms of the 1991 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock could be awarded to certain executives and key employees of JBSS and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of the options was determined as set forth in the 1991 Stock Option Plan by the Board of Directors. The exercise price for the stock options was at least fair market value with the exception of nonqualified stock options which had an exercise price equal to at least 33% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Except as set forth in the 1991 Stock Option Plan, options expire upon termination of employment. All of the options granted were intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The termination of the 1991 Stock Option Plan, effective February 28, 1995, did not affect options granted under the 1991 Stock Option Plan which remained outstanding as of the effective date of termination.
