Risks Associated with Foreign Operations |
Foreign operations generally involve greater risk than doing business in the United States. Foreign economies differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States’ economy in such respects as the level of inflation and debt, which may result in fluctuations in the value of the country’s currency and real property. Further, there may be less government regulation in various countries, and difficulty in enforcing legal rights outside the United States. Additionally, in some foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation limitations on the removal of property or other assets, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect the operations and assets of U.S. companies doing business in that country. Sales of our foreign operations were $11,658,000, $11,078,000, and $9,785,000 in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At September 26, 2009, the total assets of our foreign operations were approximately $8.5 million or 2% of total assets.

At September 30, 2006, the total assets of our foreign operations were approximately $5.3 million or 2% of total assets.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations |
Our sales are affected by the seasonal demand for our products. Demand is greater during the summer months primarily as a result of the warm weather demand for our ICEE and frozen juice treats and desserts products. Because of seasonal fluctuations, there can be no assurance that the results of any particular quarter will be indicative of results for the full year or for future years.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates |
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of those financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company discloses its significant accounting policies in the accompanying notes to its audited consolidated financial statements. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in certain areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue recognition, accounts receivable, cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of the useful lives of intangible assets and insurance reserves. There are numerous critical assumptions that may influence accounting estimates in these and other areas. We base our critical assumptions on historical experience, third-party data and various other estimates we believe to be reasonable. A description of the aforementioned policies follows: Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers and when equipment service is performed for our customers who are charged on a time and material basis. We also sell equipment service contracts with terms of coverage ranging between 12 and 60 months. We record deferred income on equipment service contracts which is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. Off-invoice allowances are deducted directly from the amount invoiced to our customer when our products are shipped to the customer. Offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments and trade spending are recorded primarily as a reduction of accounts receivable based on our estimates of liability which are based on customer programs and historical experience. These offsets to revenue are based primarily on the quantity of product purchased over specific time periods. For our Retail Supermarket and Frozen Beverages segments, we accrue for the liability based on products sold multiplied by per product offsets. Offsets to revenue for our Food Service segment are calculated in a similar manner for offsets owed to our direct customers; however, because shipments to end-users are unknown to us until reported by our direct customers or by the end-users, there is a greater degree of uncertainty as to the accuracy of the amounts accrued for end-user offsets. Additional uncertainty may occur as customers take deductions when they make payments to us. This creates complexities because our customers do not always provide reasons for the deductions taken. Additionally, customers may take deductions to which they are not entitled and the length of time customers take deductions to which they are entitled can vary from two weeks to well over a year. Because of the aforementioned uncertainties, the process to determine the amount of liability to record is cumbersome and subject to inaccuracies. However, we feel that due to constant monitoring of the process, any inaccuracies would not be material. Our recorded liability for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments and trade spending was approximately $14,000,000 and $12,090,000 at September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. Accounts Receivable — We record accounts receivable at the time revenue is recognized. Bad debt expense is recorded in marketing and administrative expenses.

Our recorded liability for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments and trade spending was approximately $8,938,000 and $8,084,000 at September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, respectively. The increase in our recorded liability resulted from the general increases in our business.

It is comprised of a general reserve based on historical experience and amounts for specific customers’ accounts receivable balances that we believe are at risk due to our knowledge of facts regarding the customer(s). We continually monitor our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts and adjust it monthly. We usually have 2 to 3 customers with accounts receivable balances of between $1.5 million to $4 million. Failure of these customers, and others with lesser balances, to pay us the amounts owed could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable due from any of our customers is subject to risk. Our total bad debt expense was $300,000, $112,000 and $245,000 for the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively. At September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, our accounts receivables were $53,033,000 and $46,261,000, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $963,000 and $1,054,000.
Asset Impairment — Goodwill of our restaurant group reporting unit decreased by $52,000 in 2004 and goodwill of our frozen beverages reporting unit increased by $679,000 in 2004. In 2005, goodwill of our food service reporting unit increased by $7,145,000 as a result of the acquisition of Snackworks, LLC and in 2006 by $839,000 as a result of a smaller acquisition. In 2006, goodwill of our frozen beverages reporting unit increased by $3,487,000 as a result of the acquisitions of ICEE of Hawaii and SLUSH PUPPIE.
We have three reporting units with goodwill totaling $57,948,000 as of September 30, 2006. We utilize historical reporting unit cash flows (defined as reporting unit operating income plus depreciation and amortization) as a proxy for expected future reporting unit cash flows to evaluate the fair value of these reporting units. If the fair value estimated substantially exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, including the goodwill, if any, associated with that unit, we do not recognize any impairment loss. We do not engage a third party to assist in this analysis as we believe that our in-house expertise is adequate to perform the analysis.
Licenses and rights are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 4 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. The gross carrying amount of intangible assets increased by $5,831,000 in 2005 primarily as a result of the acquisition of $6,080,000 of intangible assets of Snackworks, LLC. The gross carrying amount of intangible assets increased by $17,034,000 in 2006 primarily as a result of the acquisition of $15,188,000 of intangible assets of the SLUSH PUPPIE business. Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount ofthe asset may not be recoverable. Cash flow analyses are used to assess impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve considerable management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance, economic conditions, competition and consumer preferences.
Insurance Reserves — We have a self-insured medical plan which covers approximately 1,000 of our employees. We record a liability for incurred but not yet paid claims based on our historical experience of claims payments and a calculated lag time period. We maintain a spreadsheet that includes claims payments made each month according to the date the claim was incurred. This enables us to have an historical record of claims incurred but not yet paid at any point in the past. We then compare our accrued liability to the more recent claims incurred but not yet paid amounts and adjust our recorded liability up or down accordingly. Our recorded liability at September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005 was $1,101,000 and $1,536,000, respectively. Considering that we have stop loss coverage of $125,000 for each individual plan subscriber, the general consistency of claims payments and the short time lag, we believe that there is not a material exposure for this liability. Because of the foregoing, we do not engage a third party actuary to assist in this analysis.
We self-insure, up to loss limits, worker’s compensation and automobile liability claims. Accruals for claims under our self-insurance program are recorded on a claims-incurred basis. Under this program, the estimated liability for claims incurred but unpaid in fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was $2,800,000 and

on our estimate of the accounts receivable amount that is uncollectable. It is comprised of a general reserve based on historical experience and amounts for specific customers’ accounts receivable balances that we believe are at risk due to our knowledge of facts regarding the customer(s). We continually monitor our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts and adjust it monthly. We usually have approximately 10 customers with accounts receivable balances of between $1 million to $7 million. Failure of these customers, and others with lesser balances, to pay us the amounts owed, could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable due from any of our customers is subject to risk. Our total bad debt expense was $492,000, $502,000 and $189,000 for the fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, our accounts receivables were $59,734,000 and $61,176,000, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $623,000 and $926,000. Asset Impairment — We have three reporting units with goodwill totaling $60,314,000 as of September 26, 2009. We utilize historical reporting unit cash flows (defined as reporting unit operating income plus depreciation and amortization) as a proxy for expected future reporting unit cash flows to evaluate the fair value of these reporting units. If the fair value estimated substantially exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, including the goodwill, if any, associated with that unit, we do not recognize any impairment loss. We generally do not engage a third party to assist in this analysis as we believe that our in-house expertise is adequate to perform the analysis. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non compete agreements are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Cash flow analyses are used to assess impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve considerable management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance, economic conditions, competition and consumer preferences. Useful Lives of Intangible Assets — Most of our trade names which have carrying value have been assigned an indefinite life and are not amortized because we plan to receive the benefit from them indefinitely. If we decide to curtail or eliminate the use of any of the trade names or if sales that are generated from any particular trade name do not support the carrying value of the trade name, then we would record an impairment or assign an estimated useful life and amortize over the remaining useful life. Rights such as prepaid licenses and non compete agreements are amortized over contractual periods. The useful lives of customer relationships are based on the discounted cash flows expected to be received from sales to the customers adjusted for an attrition rate. The loss of a major customer or declining sales in general could create an impairment charge. Insurance Reserves — We have a self-insured medical plan which covers approximately 1,200 of our employees. We record a liability for incurred but not yet reported or paid claims based on our historical experience of claims payments and a calculated lag time period. We maintain a spreadsheet that includes claims payments made each month according to the date the claim was incurred. This enables us to have an historical record of claims incurred but not yet paid at any point in the past. We then compare our accrued liability to the more recent claims incurred but not yet paid amounts and adjust our recorded liability up or down accordingly. Our recorded liability at September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was $1,157,000 and $772,000, respectively. Considering that we have stop loss coverage of $175,000 for each individual plan subscriber, the general consistency of claims payments and the short time lag, we believe that there is not a material exposure for this liability. Because of the foregoing, we do not engage a third party actuary to assist in this analysis. We self-insure, up to loss limits, worker’s compensation and automobile liability claims. Accruals for claims under our self-insurance program are recorded on a claims-incurred basis. Under this program, the estimated liability for claims incurred but unpaid in fiscal years 2009 and 2008 was $2,300,000 and $1,600,000, respectively. Our total recorded liability for all years’ claims incurred but not yet paid was $7,100,000 and $6,400,000 at September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. We estimate the liability based on total incurred claims and paid claims adjusting for loss development factors which account for the development of open claims over time. We estimate the amounts we expect to pay for some insurance years by multiplying incurred losses 13

by a loss development factor which is based on insurance industry averages and the age of the incurred claims; our estimated liability is then the difference between the amounts we expect to pay and the amounts we have already paid for those years. Loss development factors that we use range from 1.0 to 2.0. However, for some years, the estimated liability is the difference between the amounts we have already paid for that year and the maximum we could pay under the program in effect for that particular year because the calculated amount we expect to pay is higher than the maximum. For other years, where there are few claims open, the estimated liability we record is the amount the insurance company has reserved for those claims. We evaluate our estimated liability on a continuing basis and adjust it accordingly. Due to the multi-year length of these insurance programs, there is exposure to claims coming in lower or higher than anticipated; however, due to constant monitoring and stop loss coverage on individual claims, we believe our exposure is not material. Because of the foregoing, we do not engage a third party actuary to assist in this analysis. In connection with these self-insurance agreements, we customarily enter into letters of credit arrangements with our insurers. At September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $8,675,000 and $9,475,000, respectively.

| Fiscal 2006 (53 weeks) Compared to Fiscal 2005 (52 weeks) |
Net sales increased $57,719,000 or 13% to $514,831,000 in fiscal 2006 from $457,112,000 in fiscal 2005. Adjusting for sales related to the acquisitions of Snackworks, LLC in March 2005, ICEE of Hawaii in January 2006 and SLUSH PUPPIE in May 2006, sales increased approximately 10%, or $43,576,000.
We have four reportable segments, as disclosed in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements: Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, The Restaurant Group and Frozen Beverages.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and The Restaurant Group and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review and evaluate operating income and sales in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment.
Sales to food service customers increased $40,044,000 or 14% to $320,167,000 in fiscal 2006. Excluding sales from the acquisition of Snackworks, LLC, sales increased $34,303,000, or 12%. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased $12,273,000, or 14%, to $99,581,000 for the 2006 year due primarily to the acquisition of Snackworks, LLC. Excluding Snackworks sales, pretzel sales increased $6,532,000, or 7%, with much of the increase coming from new business generated by Snackworks’ products. Sales of bakery products increased $15,189,000, or 12%, for the year. The increased sales were primarily to our private label and industrial business customers. Two customers accounted for 75% of the sales increase. Churro sales increased 50% to $22,154,000 due primarily to increased sales to one customer. Frozen juice bar and ices sales increased $4,643,000 or 12% to $44,336,000 for the year with sales to school food service customers accounting for most of the increase. The changes in sales throughout the Food Service segment were from a combination of volume changes and price increases.
Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $4,601,000 or 11% to $46,948,000 in fiscal 2006. Total soft pretzel sales to retail supermarkets were $22,552,000, an increase of 3% from fiscal 2005 mainly

due to pricing. Sales of frozen juice bars and ices increased $2,212,000 or 9% to $25,800,000 in 2006 from $23,588,000 in 2005 primarily due to the introduction of several new products. Coupon costs, a reduction of sales, were down $1,778,000, or 46%, for the year, because of decreased distribution of coupons.
Sales of our Restaurant Group, which operates BAVARIAN PRETZEL BAKERY and PRETZEL GOURMET retail stores in the Mid-Atlantic region, declined by 28% primarily due to closings or licensings of 5 stores. At September 30, 2006, we had 13 stores open. Sales of stores open for both years were down 1.7% for the year.
Frozen beverage and related product sales increased $14,586,000 or 11% to $143,819,000 in fiscal 2006. Excluding the benefit of sales from the acquisitions of ICEE of Hawaii and SLUSH PUPPIE, frozen beverages and related product sales would have been up 5% for the year. Beverage sales alone were up 9% for the year. Excluding sales from the acquisitions, beverage sales alone would have been up 1% for the year. Service revenue increased $1,180,000, or 5%, to $25,418,000 for the year as we continue to emphasize growing this part of our business. Machine sales increased $4,327,000 to $17,584,000 for the year. Sales to two customers accounted for more than half of the machine sales increase.
Other than as commented upon above by segment, there are no material specific reasons for the reported sales increases or decreases. Sales levels can be impacted by the appeal of our products to our customers and consumers and their changing tastes, competitive and pricing pressures, sales execution, marketing programs, seasonal weather, customer stability and general economic conditions.
Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased .43 of a percentage point to 33% of sales from 34% in 2005. The drop in gross profit percentage resulted from increased sales of lower margin beverage machines in our Frozen Beverage segment, continuing commodity and utility cost increases and slotting expense to introduce new retail supermarket products along with lower unit sales in our base frozen carbonated beverage business. Partially offsetting these factors were increased efficiencies from higher volume and pricing, which included reduced coupon expense in our Retail Supermarkets segment. Our slotting expense for the year was about $1.9 million more in 2006 than in 2005. We were impacted by higher commodity and packaging cost increases of over $4.5 million and higher utility costs of approximately $2.3 million for the year. We expect to continue to be impacted by higher commodity and packaging pricing and higher utility costs over at least the short term.
Total operating expenses increased $12,557,000 to $127,355,000 in fiscal 2006 but as a percentage of sales decreased .37 of a percentage point and were 25% of sales in both years. Marketing expenses dropped .54 of a percentage point to 12% of sales. The decrease in marketing expense as a percent of sales was the result of controlled spending and higher sales throughout all our business. Distribution expenses were 9% of sales in both years even though our gasoline costs increased by over $1 million. Administrative expenses were 4% of sales in both years. Operating expenses this year include an impairment charge of $1,193,000 in the Food Service segment for the writedown of robotic packaging equipment based on a determination made during the year that we would not be able to make the equipment work as intended. Other general income of $76,000 in 2006 compared to other general expense of $430,000, which included expense related to Hurricane Katrina.
Operating income increased $4,815,000 or 12% to $45,064,000 in fiscal 2006 as a result of the aforementioned items. Operating income also benefited by lower group and liability insurance costs of about $1.3 million. Adjusting for share-based compensation expense that would have been recognized in 2005 if Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123(R)), which revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation had been followed, operating income increased 16%. Adjusting for share-based compensation

expense that would have been recognized in 2005 if Statement 123(R) had been followed and excluding the impact of the writedown of impaired robotic packaging equipment, operating income increased 19%.
Investment income increased by $1,448,000 to $3,137,000 primarily due to an increase in the general level of interest rates.
The effective income tax rate increased to 39% in fiscal year 2006 from 38% in 2005 due to estimated increases in state tax payments and a lower tax benefit on share-based compensation.
Net earnings increased $3,407,000 or 13% in fiscal 2006 to $29,450,000 or $1.57 per fully diluted share as a result of the aforementioned items. Adjusting for share-based compensation expense that would have been recognized in 2005 if Statement 123(R) had been followed, net earnings increased $4,534,000 or 18%. Adjusting for share-based compensation expense that would have been recognized in 2005 if Statement 123(R) had been followed and excluding the impact of the writedown of impaired robotic packaging equipment, net earnings increased $5,274,000 or 21%.
There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates.

Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $8,046,000 or 14% to $65,158,000 in fiscal 2009. Total soft pretzel sales to retail supermarkets were $30,506,000, an increase of 11% from fiscal 2008, on a unit volume decrease of 2%. Sales of frozen juice bars and ices increased 19% to $37,819,000 in 2009 on a case volume increase of 25%. Increased trade spending of $1.3 million for the introduction of new frozen novelty items and a shift in product mix reduced sales dollars in relation to the unit volume increases. Coupon costs, a reduction of sales, increased 38% or about $1,029,000 for the year. Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $3,504,000 or 9% to $42,347,000 in fiscal 2005. Total soft pretzel sales to retail supermarkets were $21,839,000, an increase of 19% from fiscal 2004. Approximately one-half of the increase was due to the expansion of PRETZELFILS to additional markets with the balance coming primarily from increased sales of our flagship SUPERPRETZEL brand in existing markets. Sales of frozen juice bars and ices increased $1,166,000 or 5% to $23,588,000 in 2005 from $22,422,000 in 2004 due to an extremely strong fourth quarter during which sales of LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice increased by approximately 50%.

Gallon sales were down 2% for the year in our base ICEE business. Service revenue increased $3,210,000, or 8%, to $42,013,000 for the year as we continue to grow this part of our business. Frozen carbonated machine sales decreased $2,834,000 to $10,004,000 for the year. Frozen beverage and related product sales increased $9,634,000 or 8% to $129,233,000 in fiscal 2005.

Service revenue increased $6,130,000, or 34%, to $24,238,000 for the year as we continue to emphasize growing this part of our business. Increased service revenue to one customer accounted for over 40% of the increase with no other customer accounting for more than 10% of the increase. Machine sales increased $2,568,000 to $13,257,000 for the year. Sales to two customers accounted for all of the machine sales increase.
Other than as commented upon above by segment, there are no material specific reasons for the reported sales increases or decreases. Sales levels can be impacted by the appeal of our products to our customers and consumers and their changing tastes, competitive and pricing pressures, sales execution, marketing programs, seasonal weather, customer stability and general economic conditions. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased 2.28 percentage points in 2009 from 2008 to 32%. Lower commodity costs in excess of $11,000,000, higher pricing and increased efficiencies due to volume in some of our product lines partially offset by higher workers’ compensation and group health insurance expense were the primary drivers causing the gross profit percentage increase. Total operating expenses decreased $1,665,000 to $141,906,000 in fiscal 2009 and as a percentage of sales decreased 1.08 percentage points to 22% of sales in 2009. Other general income was $5,000 this year. Other general income of $375,000 last year primarily consisted of gains on the disposition of assets and insurance gains in our Food Service and Frozen Beverages segments offset by store closing costs in our Restaurant Group segment of $102,000. Marketing expenses decreased .45 percentage points and remained at 11% of sales. Controlled spending in our Food Service and Frozen Beverages segments accounted for the overall decline. Distribution expenses decreased .75 of a percentage point and remained at 8% of sales due to lower freight and fuel costs. Administrative expenses were about 3-1/2% of sales in both years. Operating income increased $23,602,000, or 54%, to $66,938,000 in fiscal 2009 as a result of the aforementioned items. Investment income decreased by $1,279,000 to $1,386,000 due to the general decline in the level of interest rates. The effective income tax rate was 39% in both fiscal years. Net earnings increased $13,404,000, or 48%, in fiscal 2009 to $41,312,000, or $2.21 per diluted share as a result of the aforementioned items. There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates. Fiscal 2008 (52 weeks) Compared to Fiscal 2007 (52 weeks) Net sales increased $60,548,000, or 11%, to $629,359,000 in fiscal 2008 from $568,901,000 in fiscal 2007. Adjusting for sales related to the acquisitions of DADDY RAY’S and Hom/Ade Foods in January 2007, and WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet and FRUIT-A-FREEZE Frozen Fruit Bar brands in April 2007, sales increased approximately 7%, or $41,681,000. We have four reportable segments, as disclosed in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements: Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, The Restaurant Group and Frozen Beverages. The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and The Restaurant Group and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review and evaluate operating income and sales 15

in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment.
Food Service Sales to food service customers increased $44,430,000, or 12%, to $400,194,000 in fiscal 2008. Excluding the benefit of sales from acquisitions, sales increased approximately 7%. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market increased $925,000, or 1%, to $99,784,000 for the year. Sales of bakery products excluding Hom/Ade and DADDY RAY’S, increased $19,768,000, or 14%, for the year. Hom/Ade and DADDY RAY sales were $30,380,000 and $26,596,000, respectively, for the year. Churro sales were up 15% for the year with $25,286,000 of sales in 2008. Frozen juice bar and ices sales increased $3,635,000 or 8% to $51,206,000 for the year. Without WHOLE FRUIT and FRUIT-A-FREEZE, sales increased 5% for the year. Sales of our funnel cake products were down $835,000, or 12%, as sales declined to one customer. The changes in sales throughout the Food Service segment were from a combination of volume changes and price increases. Retail Supermarkets Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased $4,981,000 or 10% to $57,112,000 in fiscal 2008. Total soft pretzel sales to retail supermarkets were $27,559,000, an increase of 11% from fiscal 2007 virtually all due to pricing. Sales of frozen juice bars and ices increased 8% to $31,742,000 in 2008 due to increased volume of WHOLE FRUIT and FRUIT-A-FREEZE and reduced allowances on our other products. Coupon costs, a reduction of sales, were essentially unchanged for the year. The Restaurant Group Sales of our Restaurant Group, which operates BAVARIAN PRETZEL BAKERY and PRETZEL GOURMET retail stores in the Mid-Atlantic region, declined by 41% primarily due to closings or licensings of stores in the past year. At September 27, 2008, we had 5 stores open. Sales of stores open for both years were down 4% for the year. Frozen Beverages Frozen beverage and related product sales increased $12,178,000 or 8% to $170,418,000 in fiscal 2008. Beverage sales alone were up 6% for the year with approximately 2/3 of the increase resulting from a change in distribution to one customer and the balance resulting from pricing. Gallon sales were down 4% for the year in our base ICEE business. Service revenue increased $7,554,000, or 24%, to $38,803,000 for the year as we continue to grow this part of our business. Frozen carbonated machine sales decreased $1,680,000 to $14,793,000 for the year. Consolidated Other than as commented upon above by segment, there are no material specific reasons for the reported sales increases or decreases. Sales levels can be impacted by the appeal of our products to our customers and consumers and their changing tastes, competitive and pricing pressures, sales execution, marketing programs, seasonal weather, customer stability and general economic conditions. Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased 3.09 percentage points in 2008 from 2007 to 30%. We were impacted by higher unit commodity costs of over $30,000,000 for the year. This compares to an increase of less than $10,000,000 in 2007 compared to 2006. We expect to be impacted by higher commodity costs going forward, at least over the short term; however, we do expect the magnitude of the year over year increases to continue the decline which began in our fourth quarter. Reduced trade spending of about $2,700,000 in our retail supermarket segment benefitted gross profit and contributed to the improved operating income in the Retail Supermarkets segment. Pricing and lower liability insurance costs of approximately $1,900,000 also helped to partially offset some of the commodity costs’ increase. Total operating expenses increased $5,624,000 to $143,571,000 in fiscal 2008 but as a percentage of sales decreased 1.44 percentage points to 23% of sales in 2008. Other general income of $375,000 this year primarily 16
Table of Contents
consists of gains on the disposition of assets and insurance gains in our Food Service and Frozen Beverages segments offset by store closing costs in our Restaurant Group segment of $102,000. Last year, other general income consisted of primarily $495,000 and $321,000 insurance gains in the Frozen Beverages and The Restaurant Group segments, respectively and a royalty settlement of $569,000 in the Food Service segment reduced by other general expense items. Marketing expenses decreased 1.26 percentage points to 11% of sales. Controlled spending in our Food Service and Retail Supermarket segments accounted for the decline with lower advertising expense of approximately $2,000,000 accounting for about 25% of the percentage point decline. Distribution expenses decreased .24 of a percentage point to 8% of sales even though our fuel costs were approximately $2 million higher in our Frozen Beverages segment and administrative expenses were about 3-1/2% of sales in both years.
Operating income decreased $5,244,000, or 11%, to $43,336,000 in fiscal 2008 as a result of the aforementioned items. Investment income decreased by $55,000 to $2,665,000 primarily due to lower investment returns in the fourth quarter. The effective income tax rate increased to 39% in fiscal year 2008 from 37% in fiscal 2007. Last year included the benefit of the resolution of state and foreign tax matters. This year had a lower benefit from stock based compensation as well as additional expense resulting from changes in state tax requirements. Net earnings decreased $4,204,000, or 13%, in fiscal 2008 to $27,908,000, or $1.47 per diluted share as a result of the aforementioned items. There are many factors which can impact our net earnings from year to year and in the long run, among which are the supply and cost of raw materials and labor, insurance costs, factors impacting sales as noted above, the continuing consolidation of our customers, our ability to manage our manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities, our ability to make and integrate acquisitions and changes in tax laws and interest rates. Other than as commented upon above by segment, there are no material specific reasons for the reported sales increases or decreases. Sales levels can be impacted by the appeal of our products to our customers and consumers and their changing tastes, competitive and pricing pressures, sales execution, marketing programs, seasonal weather, customer stability and general economic conditions.
Gross profit as a percent of sales, although at 34% of sales for both 2005 and 2004, increased .26 of a percentage point primarily because of pricing and efficiencies related to higher volume and a significant improvement in the gross profit of our Restaurant Group business.
Total operating expenses increased $9,781,000 to $114,798,000 in fiscal 2005 but as a percentage of sales were essentially the same in both 2005 and 2004. Marketing expenses were 13% of sales in both fiscals 2005 and 2004, although they dropped about 6/10 of one percent of sales. The decrease in marketing expense as a percent of sales was the result of controlled spending and higher sales throughout all our business. Distribution expenses increased about 6/10 of one percent of sales to 9% of sales from 8% of sales in 2004. Distribution expenses increased as a percent of sales because of higher fuel and outside carrier costs. Administrative expenses were 4% in both years even though we incurred approximately $400,000 of external costs related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Other general expense of $430,000 in 2005 was an increase of $401,000 from 2004 which increase resulted primarily from costs relating to Hurricane Katrina.
Operating income increased $5,057,000 or 14% to $40,249,000 in fiscal 2005 as a result of the aforementioned items.
Operating income was impacted by approximately $700,000 of higher insurance costs compared to a year ago due to increased claims under our liability policies. Manufacturing plant utilities costs were higher by about $1,000,000 for the year compared to last year with about two-thirds of the increase coming in the second half of the year.
Investment income increased by $1,123,000 to $1,689,000 due to an increase in the general level of interest rates and higher investable balances of cash and marketable securities.

Interest expense and other increased $26,000 to $136,000 in 2005.
The effective income tax rate increased to 38% in fiscal year 2005 from 36% in 2004 due to estimated increases in state tax payments and an increase in the estimated enacted rate applied to net deferred tax liabilities.
Net earnings increased $3,333,000 or 15% in fiscal 2005 to $26,043,000 or $2.80 per fully diluted share as a result of the aforementioned items.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES |
Although there are many factors that could impact our operating cash flow, most notably net earnings, we believe that our future operating cash flow, along with our borrowing capacity, our current cash and cash equivalent balances and our investment securities is sufficient to fund future growth and expansion. See Note C to these financial statements for a discussion of our investment securities. Fluctuations in the value of the Mexican and Canadian currencies and the resulting translation of the net assets of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries caused an increase of $1,428,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2009 and a decrease of $3,000 in 2008 and an increase of $42,000 in 2007. In 2009, sales of the two subsidiaries were $11,658,000 as compared to $11,078,000 in 2008 and $9,785,000 in 2007.

These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and their operations are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.
Although there are many factors that could impact our operating cash flow, most notably net earnings, we believe that our future operating cash flow, along with our borrowing capacity, is sufficient to fund future growth and expansion. Based on our past levels of operating cash flow, which has averaged $51,584,000 per year over the past three years, and the strength of our consolidated balance sheet, we believe that we have the capability to borrow in excess of $200,000,000. This is management’s current opinion, which could change over time depending on future events.

Fiscal 20062009 Compared to Fiscal 20052008 |
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held to maturity net of a decline in auction market preferred stock increased $37,055,000, or 45%, to $118,990,000 from a year ago primarily because net cash provided by operating activities of $80,633,000 was more than cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment by $53,443,000, which was partially offset by cash used in financing activities of $15,740,000. Trade receivables decreased $1,442,000, or 2%, to $59,734,000 in 2009 due primarily to better management of receivables. Inventories decreased $3,091,000 or 6% to $46,004,000 in 2009 due to lower unit costs of inventories, improved management and timing. Net property, plant and equipment increased $4,109,000 to $97,173,000 because purchases of fixed assets for the improvement and expansion of our manufacturing capabilities and frozen carbonated beverage business exceeded depreciation on existing assets. Other intangible assets, less accumulated amortization decreased $4,508,000 to $49,125,000 due completely to amortization. Goodwill was unchanged at $60,314,000 from September 27, 2008 to September 26, 2009. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $14,000. Accrued compensation expense increased 14% to $11,656,000 due to an increase in our employee base, a general increase in the level of pay rates and higher bonuses due to be paid. Deferred income tax liabilities increased by $3,977,000 to $27,033,000 which related primarily to amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Other long-term liabilities at September 26, 2009 include $1,895,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Common stock decreased $6,638,000 to $41,777,000 in 2009 because increases totalling $4,923,000 from the exercise of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock issued under our stock purchase plan for employees and share-based compensation expense were less than the repurchase of common stock of $12,510,000 by $6,638,000. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $25,736,000 to $80,633,000 in 2009 primarily because of the increase to net earnings of $13,404,000 and decreases in accounts receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses totalling $4,174,000 compared to increases in those assets totalling $7,686,000 last year. Net cash used in investing activities increased $28,971,000 to $47,825,000 in 2009 from $18,854,000 in 2008 primarily because of increased purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds. 19
Table of Contents Net cash used in financing activities of $15,740,000 in 2009 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $7,600,000 in 2008. The increase was caused primarily by an increase of $8,971,000 in payments to repurchase common stock. In 2009, the major variables in determining our net increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were our net earnings, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, purchases of property, plant and equipment and the repurchase of common stock. Other variables which in the past have had a significant impact on our change in cash and cash equivalents are payments for the purchase of companies, proceeds from borrowings and payments of long-term debt. As discussed in results of operations, our net earnings may be influenced by many factors. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is primarily determined by past purchases of property, plant and equipment although it could be impacted by a significant acquisition. Purchases of property, plant and equipment are primarily determined by our ongoing normal manufacturing and marketing requirements but could be increased significantly for manufacturing expansion requirements or large frozen beverage customer needs. From time to time, we have repurchased common stock and we anticipate that we will do so again in the future. We are actively seeking acquisitions that could be a significant use of cash. Although the balance of our long-term debt is $0 at September 26, 2009, we may borrow in the future depending on our needs. Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available for sale increased $6,601,000, or 9%, to $76,621,000 from a year ago primarily because net cash provided by operating activities of $54,965,000 exceeded cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment and for purchase of companies by $8,962,000.
Trade receivables increased $6,772,000 or 15% to $53,033,000 in 2006 due primarily to an increased level of business resulting from acquisitions and internal growth. Inventories increased $4,106,000 or 12% to $37,790,000 in 2006. The increases were due primarily to increased levels of business and higher unit costs of inventories.
Net property, plant and equipment decreased $3,598,000 to $85,447,000 because depreciation of fixed assets exceeded purchases of fixed assets and assets acquired in acquisitions.
Other intangible assets, less accumulated amortization increased $15,626,000 to $22,669,000 primarily because of the purchase of intangible assets of $15,188,000 in the SLUSH PUPPIE acquisition.
Goodwill increased $4,326,000 to $57,948,000 primarily as a result of the purchase of SLUSH PUPPIE.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $4,672,000, or 10% from 2005 to 2006 primarily because of increased levels of business, higher accruals for our insurance reserves and higher income taxes payable.
Back to Contents
Deferred income tax liabilities increased by $224,000 to $18,211,000 which related primarily to amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Common stock increased $4,224,000 to $40,315,000 in 2006 because of the exercise of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock issued under our stock purchase plan for employees and share-based compensation expense.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $2,321,000 to $54,965,000 in 2006 primarily because of an increase to net earnings of $3,407,000 offset by an increase in working capital of $1,363,000.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $4,804,000 to $50,629,000 in 2006 from $55,433,000 in 2005 primarily because purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from marketable securities, were $12,950,000 lower in 2006 than in 2005 and purchases of property, plant and equipment were $1,893,000 lower in 2006 than in 2005. This was partially offset by $10,176,000 of higher payments in 2006 for purchases of companies.
Net cash used in financing activities of $2,464,000 in 2006 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $1,159,000 in 2005. The increase was primarily caused by the increased payments of cash dividends of $1,873,000 in 2006, in which we paid four quarterly cash dividends compared to three in 2005, the first year in which we paid cash dividends.
In 2006, the major variables in determining our net increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available for sale were our net earnings, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, purchases of property, plant and equipment and payments for the purchase of companies. Other variables which in the past have had a significant impact on our change in cash and cash equivalents are payments for the repurchase of common stock, proceeds from borrowings and payments of long-term debt. As discussed in results of operations, our net earnings may be influenced by many factors. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is primarily determined by past purchases of property, plant and equipment although it could be impacted by a significant acquisition in the current year. Purchases of property, plant and equipment are primarily determined by our ongoing normal manufacturing and marketing requirements but could be increased significantly for manufacturing expansion requirements or large frozen beverage customer needs. From time to time, we have repurchased common stock and we anticipate that we will do so again in the future. We are actively seeking acquisitions that could be a significant use of cash. Although the balance of our long-term debt is $0 at September 30, 2006, we may borrow in the future depending on our needs.
Fiscal 20052008 Compared to Fiscal 20042007 |
Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities held to maturity and auction market preferred stock increased $24,916,000, or 44%, to $81,935,000 from a year ago primarily because net cash provided by operating activities of $54,897,000 was more than cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment and for purchase of companies by $32,116,000, which was partially offset by cash used in financing activities of $7,600,000. Trade receivables increased $4,404,000, or 8%, to $61,176,000 in 2008 due primarily to higher net sales. Inventories increased $2,496,000 or 5% to $49,095,000 in 2008 due primarily to higher unit costs of inventories. Net property, plant and equipment was essentially unchanged at $93,064,000 because purchases of fixed assets were essentially offset by depreciation of fixed assets. Other intangible assets, less accumulated amortization decreased $4,700,000 to $53,633,000 due completely to amortization. Goodwill was unchanged at $60,314,000 from September 29, 2007 to September 27, 2008. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $550,000, or 1% from 2007 to 2008 primarily because of higher costs of raw materials and packaging. Deferred income tax liabilities increased by $3,876,000 to $23,056,000 which related primarily to amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Other long-term liabilities at September 27, 2008 include $1,735,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Common stock increased $1,135,000 to $48,415,000 in 2008 because increases from the exercise of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock issued under our stock purchase plan for employees and share-based compensation expense exceeded the repurchase of common stock of $3,539,000 by $1,135,000. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $2,946,000 to $54,897,000 in 2008 primarily because of the decrease to net earnings of $4,204,000. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $38,980,000 to $18,854,000 in 2008 from $57,834,000 in 2007 primarily because we did not make any acquisitions in 2008. Net cash used in financing activities of $7,600,000 in 2008 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $1,769,000 in 2007. The increase was caused by $3,539,000 of payments to repurchase common stock along with a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. In 2008, the major variables in determining our net increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were our net earnings, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and purchases of property, plant and equipment. Additionally, in 2008, due to the failure of the auction market, we reclassified a portion of our investment 20

securities to long-term assets (see Note C to these financial statements). Other variables which in the past have had a significant impact on our change in cash and cash equivalents are payments for the repurchase of common stock, payments for the purchases of companies, proceeds from borrowings and payments of long-term debt.

Trade receivables decreased $1,492,000 or 3% to $46,261,000 in 2005 due to more efficient collections. Inventories increased $4,097,000 or 14% to $33,684,000 in 2005. The increases were due primarily to increased levels of business and higher unit costs of inventories. Parts inventory increased in our frozen beverages business in response to higher levels of managed service business.
Net property, plant and equipment decreased $429,000 to $89,045,000 because depreciation of fixed assets exceeded purchases of fixed assets and assets acquired in acquisitions.
Other intangible assets, less accumulated amortization increased $5,239,000 to $7,043,000 because of the purchase of intangible assets of $6,080,000 in the Snackworks acquisition.
Goodwill increased $7,145,000 to $53,622,000 as a result of the purchase of Snackworks, LLC.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $5,256,000, or 11% from 2004 to 2005 primarily because of increased levels of business, higher accruals for our insurance reserves and higher income taxes payable.

Common stock increased $3,022,000 to $36,091,000 in 2005 because of the exercise of incentive and nonqualified stock options and stock issued under our stock purchase plan for employees.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5,500,000 to $52,644,000 in 2005 primarily because of an increase to net earnings of $3,333,000 and a reduction in working capital of $2,363,000 in 2005 compared to an increase in working capital of $1,995,000 in 2004 which was partially offset by a reduction in deferred income taxes of $174,000 in 2005 compared to an increase in deferred taxes of $2,394,000 in 2004.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $13,511,000 to $55,433,000 in 2005 from $68,944,000 in 2004 primarily because purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from marketable securities, were $18,775,000 higher in 2004 than in 2005 which was partially offset by $3,420,000 of higher payments in 2005 for purchases of companies.
Net cash used in financing activities of $1,159,000 in 2005 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3,810,000 in 2004. The change was primarily caused by the payment of cash dividends of $3,400,000 in 2005, the first year in which we paid cash dividends.
In 2005, the major variables in determining our net increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available for sale were our net earnings, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, purchases of property, plant and equipment and payments for the purchase of companies.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer and effected by the board of directors and management to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | | | | • |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors; |
| | | | • |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, our management believes that, as of September 26, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. There have been no changes that occurred during our fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | | | F-2 | | | | | | | We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 200626, 2009 and September 24, 2005 | | | F-4 | | | | | | | Consolidated Statements27, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of Earningsearnings, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 2006,26, 2009 (52 weeks, 52 weeks, and 52 weeks, respectively). Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule, listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). We have also audited J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of September 24, 200526, 2009, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting which is included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries as of September 26, 2009 and September 25, 200427, 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 26, 2009 (52 weeks, 52 weeks and 52 weeks) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2009, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, Income Taxes, relating to uncertainties in income taxes in 2008. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania December 8, 2009 F-2

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. 1. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of J & J Snack Foods Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. 2. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers and when equipment service is performed for our customers who are charged on a time and material basis. We also sell equipment service contracts with terms of coverage ranging between 12 and 60 months. We record deferred income on equipment service contracts which is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. All amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as revenues. Our product costs include amounts for shipping and handling, therefore, we charge our customers shipping and handling fees at the time the products are shipped or when services are performed. The cost of shipping products to the customer is recognized at the time the products are shipped to the customer and our policy is to classify them as Distribution expenses. The cost of shipping products to the customer classified as Distribution expenses was $49,705,000, $52,609,000 and $48,945,000 for the fiscal years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and
Board of Directors
J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2006 (53 weeks, 52 weeks, and 52 weeks, respectively). We have also audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Form 10-K, that J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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.
Our audit of internal control included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2006 (53 weeks, 52 weeks and 52 weeks) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, management’s assessment that J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of

Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion, J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
J & J Snack Foods Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company) manufactures, markets and distributes a variety of nutritional snack foods and beverages to the food service and retail supermarket industries. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
1. | Principles of Consolidation
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of J & J Snack Foods Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
We recognize revenue from Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, The Restaurant Group and Frozen Beverage products at the time the products are shipped to third parties. When we perform services under service contracts for frozen beverage dispenser machines, revenue is recognized upon the completion of the services on specified machines. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors.
We follow EITF Issue 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs” (Issue 00-10). Issue 00-10 requires that all amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling should be classified as revenues. Our product costs include amounts for shipping and handling, therefore, we charge our customers shipping and handling fees at the time the products are shipped or when services are performed. The cost of shipping products to the customer is recognized at the time the products are shipped to the customer and our policy is to classify them as Distribution expenses. The cost of shipping products to the customer classified as Distribution expenses was $45,331,000, $39,589,000 and $33,574,000 for the fiscal years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, corrected copy (SAB 104) address certain criteria for revenue recognition. SAB 101 and SAB 104 outline the criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. Our revenue recognition policies comply with the guidance contained in SABs 101 and 104.
We also sell service contracts covering frozen beverage machines sold. The terms of coverage range between 12 and 60 months. We record deferred income on service contracts which is amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the contracts.
During the years ended September 30, 2006, September 24, 2005 and September 25, 2004, we sold $6,000,000, $5,506,000 and $3,225,000, respectively, of service contracts related to frozen beverage machines. At September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, deferred income on service contracts was $1,748,000 and $1,631,000, respectively, of which $183,000 and $273,000 is included in other long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, respectively and the balance is reflected as short-term and included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Service contract income of $5,883,000, $5,728,000 and $3,156,000 was recognized for the fiscal years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period. The cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and changes to such are included in comprehensive income.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. F-7

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
| 6. | Concentrations of Credit Risk and Accounts Receivable |
We maintain cash balances at financial institutions located in various states. Some of our accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. We customarily maintain cash balances in excess of these insurance limits. Some of our cash is in bank accounts which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation with no limit. Other financial instruments that could potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are trade accounts receivable; however, such risks are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across geographic regions. We usually have approximately 10 customers with accounts receivable balances of between $1 million to $7 million. We have several large customers that account for a significant portion of our sales. Our top ten customers accounted for 43%, 42% and 42% of our sales during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, with our largest customer accounting for 9% of our sales in 2009, 9% in 2008 and 8% in 2007. Three of the ten customers are food distributors who sell our product to many end users. The majority of our accounts receivable are due from trade customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of our customers’ financial condition and collateral is not required. Accounts receivable payment terms vary and are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. We determine our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, customers’ current ability to pay their obligations to us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions located in various states. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. We periodically maintain cash balances in excess of these insurance limits.
Other financial instruments that could potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are trade accounts receivable; however, such risks are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across geographic regions. We usually have 2 to 3 customers with accounts receivable balances of between $1,500,000 to $4,000,000.
The majority of our accounts receivable are due from trade customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of our customers’ financial condition and collateral is not required. Accounts receivable payment terms vary and are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.

We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”.
Statement 151 retains the general principle of ARB 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing (AC Section I78)”, that inventories are presumed to be stated at cost; however, it amends ARB 43 to clarify that
abnormal amounts of idle facilities, freight, handling costs, and spoilage should be recognized as charges of the current period
| | | | • | allocation of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out or weighted-average method) or market.

Additionally, we allocate fixed production overheads to inventories should be based on the normal capacity of our production facilities. We calculate normal capacity as the production facilities. |
expected to be achieved over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances, taking into account the loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance. This requires us to use judgment to determine when production is outside the range of expected variation in production (either abnormally low or abnormally high). In periods of abnormally low production (for example, periods in which there is significantly lower demand, labor and material shortages exist, or there is unplanned equipment downtime) the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is not increased. However, in periods of abnormally high production the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is decreased to assure inventories are not measured above cost.We review for slow moving and obsolete inventory and a reserve is established for the value of inventory that we estimate will not be used. At September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, our reserve for inventory was $4,209,000 and $3,817,000, respectively. Statement 151 defines normal capacity as the production expected to be achieved over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances, taking into account the loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance. The Board concluded that normal capacity refers to a range of production levels that will vary based on business- and industry-specific factors. Accordingly, an entity will have to use judgment to determine when production is outside the range of expected variation in production (either abnormally low or abnormally high). In periods of abnormally low production (for example, periods in which there is

significantly lower demand, labor and material shortages exist, or there is unplanned equipment downtime) the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production should not be increased. However, in periods of abnormally high production the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is decreased to assure inventories are not measured above cost.
The guidance in Statement 151 is effective for inventory costs during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and should be applied prospectively. Since we essentially follow the guidelines of Statement 151, the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
We classify our investment securities in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale; however, we have classified our auction market preferred stock separately on our balance sheet and in our statement of cash flows because of the failure of the auction market beginning in February 2008. The balance of our investment F-8

portfolio consists solely of investments classified as held to maturity. See Note C for further information on our holdings of investment securities.
We account for our investment securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” This standard requires investments in securities to be classified in one of three categories: held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Our investment portfolio consists solely of investments classified as available for sale and are accounted for as such in accordance with SFAS No. 115.
| 9. | Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. We review our equipment and buildings to ensure that they provide economic benefit and are not impaired. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. We use market value tests and discounted cash flow models to test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. These assets are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently as a triggering event, such as the loss of a major customer, might occur. Depreciation of equipment and buildings is provided for by the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 4 to 20 years.
We follow SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” but it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that Statement. We recorded an impairment charge of $1,193,000 in 2006 in the food service segment for the writedown of robotic packaging equipment based on a determination made during the year that we would not be able to make the equipment work as intended.
| 10. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The carrying value of our short-term financial instruments, such as accounts receivables and accounts payable, approximate their fair values, based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of our short-term financial instruments, such as accounts receivables and accounts payable, approximate their fair values, based on the short-term maturities of these instruments.
| 11. | Income Taxes We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”). We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions. On September 30, 2007, the first day of the 2008 fiscal year, we recognized a $925,000 decrease to opening retained earnings from the cumulative effect of recognizing a liability for uncertain tax positions. As of September 26, 2009, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $1,895,000, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes. The Company had $742,000 and $588,000 of accrued interest and penalties as of September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. We recognized $3,000 and $6,000 of penalties and interest in the years ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: | | | | (in thousands) |

Table of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109).
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
FIN 48 also provides guidance on financial reporting and classification of differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006; earlier application is encouraged. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FIN 48 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

12. | Earnings Per Common Share |
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. We follow SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (EPS). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

128,200 anti-dilutive shares have been excluded in the computation of 2007 diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price is greater than the average market price of the common stock. 13. | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation |
At September 26, 2009, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans. Share-based compensation was recognized as follows: | | | | September 26,
2009
| | September 27,
2008
| | September 29,
2007
|

At September 26, 2009, the Company has unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $650,000 to be recognized over the next three fiscal years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007: expected volatility of 23.3% for fiscal year 2009, 25.2% for year 2008 and 27.4% for year 2007; weighted average risk-free interest rates of 2.70%, 3.60% and 4.57%; dividend rate of 1.2%, 1.1% and .9% and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years for all years. Expected forfeiture rates of 15% were used for all years. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 50 to 51 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures. Effective with this fiscal year, the Company follows FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. Statement 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.
In addition to the accounting standard that sets forth the financial reporting objectives and related accounting principles, Statement 123(R) includes an appendix of implementation guidance that provides expanded guidance on measuring the fair value of share-based payment awards.
Statement 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used.
Since the Company adopted Statement 123(R) using the modified-prospective transition method, prior periods have not been restated. Under this method, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We measured share-based compensation cost using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
At September 30, 2006, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. Share-based compensation of $988,000, net of a tax benefit of $316,000, or $.05 per diluted share, was recognized for the year ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the Company has unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $1.8 million to be recognized over the next three fiscal years. Reported net income, adjusting for share-based compensation that would have been recognized in 2005 and 2004 if Statement 123(R) had been followed is (all share amounts reflect the 2-for-1 stock split effective January 5, 2006):

The fair value of these options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004; expected volatility of 34.2% for fiscal year 2006, 27.9% for year 2005 and 30.7% for year 2004; weighted average risk-free interest rates of 4.41%, 3.82% and 3.27%; dividend rate of 1% for years 2006 and 2005 and expected lives ranging between 5 and 10 years for all years. An expected forfeiture rate of 18% was used for year 2006.
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 53 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $2,267,000, $1,666,000, and $4,084,000 for the fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $1,589,000, $1,617,000, and $1,772,000 for the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
| 15. | Commodity Price Risk Management |
Our most significant raw material requirements include flour, shortening, corn syrup, sugar, juice, cheese, chocolate, and a variety of nuts. We attempt to minimize the effect of future price fluctuations related to the purchase of raw materials primarily through forward purchasing to cover future manufacturing requirements, generally for periods from 1 to 12 months. As of September 26, 2009, we have approximately $46 million of such commitments. Futures contracts are not used in combination with forward purchasing of these raw materials. Our procurement practices are intended to reduce the risk of future price increases, but also may potentially limit the ability to benefit from possible price decreases. Our policy is to recognize estimated losses on purchase commitments when they occur. At each of the last three fiscal year ends, we did not have any material losses on our purchase commitments. F-11

| 17. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance expanding the definition of a business combination and requiring the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be determined on the acquisition date. The guidance also requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent considerations, and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. In addition, the guidance requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed in the period incurred and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period to impact income tax expense. We will adhere to this guidance effective for our first quarter of Fiscal 2010. In August 2008, the FASB issued guidance that revises the factors that a company should consider to develop renewal or extension assumptions used in estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The new guidance will apply to all intangible assets acquired after the guidance’s effective date. The guidance also requires new disclosures for all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The underlying purpose of the guidance is to improve the consistency between the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of a recognized intangible asset and the useful life of an intangible asset. This guidance is effective for our 2010 fiscal year. We are evaluating the effect the implementation of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance that amends the provisions in its guidance issued in December 2007 for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. This revised guidance eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria, included in the December 2007 guidance and carries forward most of the provisions related to acquired contingencies in its June 2001 guidance. This guidance is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of our fiscal year 2010. The effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of any acquired contingencies consummated in fiscal year 2010 or later. In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”), which establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting guidance to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The codification is now the single official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP (other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and related literature. Only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP now exists. All other literature is considered non-authoritative. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP. We adopted the Codification during our fiscal year ended September 26, 2009. In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency between how registrants quantify financial statement misstatements.
Historically, there have been two widely used methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements. These methods are referred to as the “roll-over” and “iron curtain” method. The roll-over method quantifies the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated. Exclusive reliance on an income statement approach can result in the accumulation of errors on the balance sheet that may not have been material to any individual income statement, but which may misstate one or more balance sheet accounts. The iron curtain method quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated. Exclusive reliance on a balance sheet approach can result in disregarding the effects of errors in the current year income statement that results from the correction of an error existing in previously issued financial statements. We currently use the roll-over method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
SAB 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatement on each of the company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This approach is commonly referred to as the “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the roll-over and iron curtain methods.
SAB 108 allows registrants to initially apply the dual approach either by (1) retroactively adjusting prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or by (2) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the dual approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of this “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose.
We do not expect to record any such cumulative adjustment.
Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation for the current year. F-12

NOTE C — INVESTMENT SECURITIES We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and auction market preferred stock (AMPS). The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: NOTE B — ACQUISITIONS

In May 2006, intangible assets of $15,188,000 were acquired in the SLUSH PUPPIE acquisition. Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1,408,000, $822,000 and $443,000.
Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $1,900,000 in 2007, $1,800,000 in 2008, $1,600,000 in 2009 and 2010, and $1,500,000 in 2011. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.2 years.
| Level 1 | | | | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | | Level 2 | | | | Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | | Level 3 | | | | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
We have concluded that the carrying value of 26 week certificates of deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service equals fair market value. Other marketable securities held to maturity values are derived solely from level 1 inputs. We have no holdings of AMPS at September 26, 2009.

The AMPS we owned at September 27, 2008 are senior equity securities of closed-end funds and have priority over the fund’s common shares as to distribution of assets and dividends, as described in each fund’s prospectus. On August 21, 2008, Merrill Lynch announced a plan to purchase, at par, AMPS held by J & J and other of its clients. Redemption of our AMPS subsequent to the failure of the auction process in February 2008 was $10,000,000, our carrying value, in the year ended September 27,2008 and $15,400,000, also our carrying value, in the year ended September 26, 2009. In January 2009, we sold $19,800,000 of our AMPS to Merrill Lynch at our carrying value. Proceeds from the sale and redemption of AMPS were $35,200,000 in the year ended September 26, 2009, with no gain or loss recorded. Proceeds from the sale and redemption of AMPS were $16,500,000 in the year ended September 27, 2008, with no gain or loss recorded. We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold. Proceeds from the sale and redemption of marketable securities were $10,204,000 in the year ended September 26, 2009, and none in the prior year, with no gain or loss recorded.

The gross carrying amount of intangible assets is determined by applying a discounted cash flow model to the future sales and earnings associated with each intangible asset or is set by contract cost. The amortization period used for definite lived intangible assets is set by contract period or by the period over which the bulk of the discounted cash flow is expected to be generated. We currently believe that we will receive the benefit from the use of the trade names classified as indefinite lived intangible assets indefinitely and they are therefore not amortized. Licenses and rights are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $4,508,000, $4,700,000 and $3,974,000. Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $4,500,000 in 2010, $4,100,000 in 2011, $3,800,000 in 2012 and $3,700,000 in 2013 and 2014. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.3 years. Goodwill |

Goodwill of $7,145,000 in the food service segment was acquired in the March 2005 acquisition of Snackworks, LLC. and $839,000 was acquired in an acquisition in August 2006. Goodwill of $500,000 in the frozen beverages segment was acquired in the January 2006 acquisition of ICEE of Hawaii. Goodwill of $2,987,000 in the frozen beverages segment was acquired in the May 2006 acquisition of the SLUSH PUPPIE branded business.
NOTE G — LONG-TERM DEBT
In December 2006, we entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with our existing banks which provides for up to a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility repayable in December 2011, with the availability of repayments without penalty. The agreement contains restrictive covenants and requires commitment fees in accordance with standard banking practice. As of September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, there were no outstanding balances under the prior facility.
We self-insure, up to loss limits, certain insurable risks such as worker’s compensation and automobile liability claims. Accruals for claims under our self-insurance program are recorded on a claims-incurred basis. Under this program, the estimated liability for claims incurred but unpaid in fiscal years 2006 and 2005 was $2,800,000 and $2,700,000, respectively. In connection with certain self-insurance agreements, we customarily enter into letters of credit arrangements with our insurers. At September 30, 2006 and September 24, 2005, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $8,620,000 and $7,700,000, respectively.

Total rent expense was $13,418,000, $11,516,000 and $11,220,000 for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We are a party to litigation which has arisen in the normal course of business which management currently believes will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We self-insure, up to loss limits, certain insurable risks such as worker’s compensation and automobile liability claims. Accruals for claims under our self-insurance program are recorded on a claims incurred basis. Our total recorded liability for all years’ claims incurred but not yet paid was $7,100,000 and $6,400,000 at September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively. In connection with certain self-insurance agreements, we customarily enter into letters of credit arrangements with our insurers. At September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $8,675,000 and $9,475,000, respectively. NOTE K — CAPITAL STOCK In our fiscal year ended September 26, 2009, we purchased and retired 450,597 shares of our common stock at a cost of $12,510,000 under a million share buyback authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2008. Of the shares purchased and retired in 2009, 400,000 shares were purchased at the purchase price of $27.90 per share from Gerald B. Shreiber, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. In our 2008 fiscal year ended September 27, 2008, we purchased and retired 135,124 shares of our common stock at a cost of $3,539,000. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock in fiscal year 2007. NOTE L — STOCK OPTIONS We have a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, stock options may be granted to officers and our key employees which qualify as incentive stock options as well as stock options which are nonqualified. The exercise price of incentive stock options is at least the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for nonqualified options is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. The options are generally exercisable after three years and expire no later than ten years from date of grant. There were 1,400,000 shares reserved under the Plan; options for 702,000 shares remain unissued as of September 26, 2009. There are options that were issued under an option plan that has since expired that are still outstanding. We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) whereby employees purchase stock by making contributions through payroll deductions for six month periods. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the market price of the stock at the beginning of the six-month period or the end of the six-month period. In fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 employees purchased 25,803, 31,366 and 23,140 shares at average purchase prices of $26.63, $24.93 and $30.22, respectively. ESPP expense of $237,000, $137,000 and $146,000 was recognized for fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. F-20

We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the four operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers. We have applied no aggregate criteria to any of these operating segments in order to determine reportable segments. Our four reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets, The Restaurant Group and Frozen Beverages.
