Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 increased by $413,332 (15.8%) over the comparable period in fiscal 2006. Retail gasoline sales increased by $319,458 (17.3%) as the number of gallons sold increased by 70,651 (8.5%) while the average retail price per gallon increased 8.1%. During this same period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased by $59,621 (10.2%) and prepared food and fountain sales increased by $30,356 (17.7%), due to the addition of 71 new Company stores, the introduction of new products, and selective price increases.

The other sales category primarily consists of wholesale gasoline and grocery sales to franchise stores and lottery, prepaid phone cards and video rental commissions received. These sales increased $3,897 (31.1%) during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 primarily due to the increase in lottery and prepaid phone card commissions. The gross profit margin also increased $3,613 (56.3%) primarily due to the increase in lottery commissions of $1,792 (60.8%) and prepaid phone card commissions of $654 (112.5%) from the comparable period in the prior year.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 85.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, compared to 84.6% for the comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales decreased (to 4.1%) during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from the comparable period in the prior year (5.3%). The gross profit margin per gallon also decreased (to $.0991) during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from the comparable period in the prior year ($.1173).0982). Although the Company achieved above average gross profit margins per gallon duringfor the nine months ended January 31, 2006,first quarter of fiscal 2008, management expects market conditions to return to historical levels of 10 to 11 cents per gallon over the long term. The gross profits on retail sales of grocery and generalother merchandise decreasedincreased (to 31.9%34%) from the comparable period in the prior year (32.3%), andwhile the prepared food margin also decreased (to 62.2%61.7%) from the comparable period in the prior year (63.7%(62.9%). The decrease in the prepared food margin was caused by increased product costs primarily in the fountain and coffee areas.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 10.1%9.5% for the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20072008 compared to 10.4%9.2% for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was caused primarily by an increase in the average retail price per gallon of gasoline sold. Operating expenses increased 11.9% during21.3% in the

first nine monthsquarter of 20072008 from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily dueyear. Nearly 3% of this increase was related to additional incentive pay resulting from a 30.2%more profitable quarter, and another 2% related to an increase in bank fees resulting from customers’ greater use of credit cards, and the larger number of corporate stores.large health insurance claims. The remaining portion of the increase was attributable to the addition of 45 more stores since the close of the comparable period in the prior year.

Net earnings decreasedincreased by $4,721 (9.4%$12,875 (76.2%). The decreaseincrease in net earnings was attributable primarily to the decreaseincrease in the gross profit margin per gallon of gasoline sold, andsold. However, the decreasesincrease in net earnings was partially offset by the gross profit margins of grocery and other merchandise and prepared food and fountain.increases in operating expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that management believes are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments, often because of the need to estimate the effects of inherently uncertain factors.

- 18 -

Inventory. Inventories, which consist of merchandise and gasoline, are stated at the lower of cost or market. For gasoline, cost is determined through the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. For merchandise inventories, cost is determined through the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method applied to inventory values determined primarily by the FIFO method for warehouse inventories and the retail inventory method (RIM) for store inventories, except for cigarettes, beer, pop, and prepared foods, which are valued at cost. RIM is an averaging method widely used in the retail industry because of its practicality.

Under RIM, inventory valuations are at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to sales. Inherent in the RIM calculations are certain management judgments and estimates whichthat could affect the ending inventory valuation at cost and the resulting gross margins.

Vendor allowances include rebates and other funds received from vendors to promote their products. The Company often receives such allowances on the basis of quantitative contract terms that vary by product and vendor or directly on the basis of purchases made. Rebates are recognized as reductions of inventory costs when purchases are made; reimbursements of an operating expense (e.g., advertising) are recorded as reductions of the related expense.

Long-lived Assets. The Company periodically monitors under-performing stores for an indication that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill where applicable, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Fair value is based on management’s estimate of the amount that could be

– 21 –

realized from the sale of assets in a current transaction between willing parties. The estimate is derived from offers, actual sale or disposition of assets subsequent to periodyear end, and other indications of asset value. In determining whether an asset is impaired, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for the Company is generally on a store-by-store basis. Management expects to continue its on-going evaluation of under-performing stores, and may periodically sell specific stores where further operational and marketing efforts are not likely to improve their performance. The Company did not incur any impairment charges during the three months ended July 31, 2007.

Self-insurance. The Company is primarily self-insured for employee health care, workers’ compensation, general liability, and automobile claims. The self-insurance claim liability is determined actuarially based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Actuarial projections of the losses are employed due to the high degree of variability in the liability estimates. Some factors affecting the uncertainty

- 19 -

of claims include the time frame of development, settlement patterns, litigation and adjudication direction, and medical treatment and cost trends. The liability is not discounted.

Recent accounting pronouncementsAccounting Pronouncements. In June 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06–3,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation), which allows companies to adopt a policy of presenting taxes in the income statement on either a gross or net basis. Taxes within the scope of this EITF would include taxes that are imposed on a revenue transaction between a seller and a customer. If such taxes are significant, the accounting policy should be disclosed as well as the amount of taxes included in the financial statements if presented on a gross basis. EITF 06–3 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of EITF Issue No. 06–3 on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”FIN48”), which is an interpretationInterpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48, effective May 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribeswas issued to clarify the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before beingaccounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance onstatements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the derecognition,financial statement recognition and measurement classification, interest and penalties, accountingof a tax position taken or expected to be taken in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertaina tax positions. FIN 48 is effectivereturn.

The Company recognized additional tax liabilities of $646 with a corresponding reduction to beginning retained earnings as of the beginningMay 1, 2007 as a result of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2006. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption should be accounted for48. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $4,037, as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The cumulative effect adjustment would not apply to those items that would not have been recognized in earnings, such

– 22 –

as the effect of adopting FIN 48 on tax positions related to business combinations. The Company plans to adopt FIN 48 on May 1, 2007, the date of adoption. Of this amount, $3,286 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. These unrecognized tax benefits relate to the state income tax filing positions and isfederal tax credits claimed for the Company’s corporate subsidiaries. The Company does not expect the aggregate amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly within the next twelve months. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties for such unrecognized tax benefits was $130 as of May 1, 2007, the date of adoption. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are classified as income tax expense in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of this statement on its consolidatedour financial statements.

The statute of limitations for federal and states remains open for the years 2003 and forward.

In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staffFASB issued StaffStatement of Financial Accounting BulletinStandard (SFAS) No. 108 (“SAB 108”)157,Fair Value Measurements,Considering which clarifies the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 requires quantification of financial statement misstatementsprinciple that fair value should be based on the effectsassumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The Company has not yet determined the impact that the implementation of SFAS No. 157 will have on the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits many financial instruments and certain other items to be measured at fair value at the option of the misstatements on each of the company’sCompany.

Reclassifications. Net sales and cost of goods sold were reduced by $386 for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006.the three months ended July 31, 2006 for video rental commissions that were previously recorded as gross rather than as net commissions.

Other accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Liquidity and Capital Resources(Dollars in Thousands)

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, most sales are for cash, and cash provided by operations is the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company finances its inventory purchases primarily from normal trade credit aided by the relatively rapid turnover of inventory. This turnover allows the Company to conduct its operations without large amounts of cash and working capital. As of JanuaryJuly 31, 2007, the Company’s ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .741.08 to 1. The ratio at JanuaryJuly 31, 2006 and April 30, 20062007 was .70.77 to 1 and .791.03 to 1, respectively. Management believes that the Company’s current $50,000 bank line of credit, of $50,000 ($8,200 outstanding at January 31, 2007), together with cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy the working capital needs of itsour business.

Net cash provided by operations decreased $18,977 (26.1%increased $46,296 (294.1%) duringin the ninethree months ended JanuaryJuly 31, 2007 from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily as a result of lowera larger net earnings from continuing operations andincome, a large decrease in accounts payable, due to the lower cost per gallon of gasoline.an increase in accrued expenses, a smaller increase in inventories and a larger increase in income taxes payable.

Cash provided byused in financing increased, primarily due to an increase in the proceeds from long-termshort-term debt and short-term borrowings.for the comparable period in the prior year.

Capital expenditures represent the single largest use of Company funds. Management believes that by reinvesting in Company stores, the Company will be better able to respond to competitive challenges and increase operating efficiencies. During the first ninethree months of fiscal 2007,2008, the Company expended $134,933$23,486 for property and equipment, and goodwill, primarily for

– 23 –

the construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company stores, including the HandiMart acquisition, compared to $88,253$23,321 for the comparable period in the prior year. The Company anticipates expending approximately $160,000$135,000 in fiscal 20072008 for construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company stores, primarily from existing cash and funds generated by operations.

As of JanuaryJuly 31, 2007, the Company had long-term debt of $155,007,$187,440, consisting of $50,000$100,000 in principal amount of 5.72% Senior Notes, Series A and B, $30,000 in principal amount of 7.38% Senior Notes, $28,000$23,000 in principal amount of Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, with interest rates ranging from 6.18% to 7.23%, $34,286$22,857 in principal amount of 7.89% Senior Notes, Series A, $3,317$2,370 of mortgage notes payable, and $9,404$9,213 of capital lease obligations.

- 21 -

To date, the Company has funded capital expenditures primarily from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, issuance of 6-1/4%6- ¹/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (which were converted into shares of Common Stock in 1994), the above-described Senior Notes, a mortgage note, and through funds generated from operations. Future capital needs required to finance operations, improvements and the anticipated growth in the number of Company stores are expected to be met from cash generated by operations, the bank line of credit, and additional long-term debt or other securities as circumstances may dictate, and are not expected to adversely affect liquidity.

Cautionary Statements(Dollars in Thousands)

The foregoing Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including (i) any statements regarding future sales and gross profit percentages, (ii) any statements regarding the continuation of historical trends and (iii) any statements regarding the sufficiency of the Company’s cash balances and cash generated from operations and financing activities for the Company’s future liquidity and capital resource needs. The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitations, the following factors described more completely in the Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements included as Exhibit 99 to the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006:2007:

Competition. The Company’s business is highly competitive, and marked by ease of entry and constant change in terms of the numbers and type of retailers offering the products and services found in Company stores. Many of the food (including prepared foods) and non-food

– 24 –

items similar or identical to those sold by the Company are generally available from a variety of competitors in the communities served by Company stores, and the Company competes with other convenience store chains, gasoline stations, supermarkets, drug stores, discount stores, club stores, mass merchants and “fast-food” outlets (with respect to the sale of prepared foods). Sales of such non-gasoline items (particularly prepared food items) have contributed substantially to the Company’s gross profits from retail sales in recent years. Gasoline sales are also intensely competitive. The Company competes with both independent and national brand gasoline stations in the sale of gasoline, other convenience store chains and several non-traditional gasoline retailers such as supermarkets in specific markets. Some of these other gasoline retailers may have access to more favorable arrangements for gasoline supply thanthen do the Company or the firms that supply its stores. Some of the Company’s competitors have

- 22 -

greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, and, as a result, may be able to respond better to changes in the economy and new opportunities within the industry.

Gasoline operations. Gasoline sales are an important part of the Company’s sales and earnings, and retail gasoline profit margins have a substantial impact on the Company’s net income. Profit margins on gasoline sales can be adversely affected by factors beyond the control of the Company, including the supply of gasoline available in the retail gasoline market, uncertainty or volatility in the wholesale gasoline market, increases in wholesale gasoline costs generally during a period and price competition from other gasoline marketers. The market for crude oil and domestic wholesale petroleum products is marked by significant volatility, and is affected by general political conditions and instability in oil producing regions such as the Middle East and Venezuela.South America. The volatility of the wholesale gasoline market makes it extremely difficult to predict the impact of future wholesale cost fluctuation on the Company’s operating results and financial conditions. These factors could materially impact the Company’s gasoline gallon volume, gasoline gross profit and overall customer traffic levels at Company stores. Any substantial decrease in profit margins on gasoline sales or in the number of gallons sold by Company stores could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.

The Company purchases its gasoline from a variety of independent national and regional petroleum distributors. Although in recent years the Company’s suppliers have not experienced any difficulties in obtaining sufficient amounts of gasoline to meet the Company’s needs, unanticipated national and international events could result in a reduction of gasoline supplies available for distribution to the Company. Any substantial curtailment in gasoline supplied to the Company could adversely affect the Company by reducing its gasoline sales. Further, management believes that a significant amount of the Company’s business results from the patronage of customers primarily desiring to purchase gasoline and, accordingly, reduced gasoline supplies could adversely affect the sale of non-gasoline items. Such factors could have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s earnings and operations.

– 25 –

Tobacco Products. Sales of tobacco products represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenues. Significant increases in wholesale cigarette costs and tax increases on tobacco products, as well as national and local campaigns to discourage smoking in the United States, could have an adverse affect on the demand for cigarettes sold by Company stores. The Company attempts to pass price increases onto its customers, but competitive pressures in specific markets may prevent it from doing so. These factors could materially impact the retail price of cigarettes, the volume of cigarettes sold by Company stores and overall customer traffic.

- 23 -

Environmental Compliance Costs. The United States Environmental Protection Agency and several states, including Iowa, have established requirements for owners and operators of underground gasoline storage tanks (USTs) with regard to (i) maintenance of leak detection, corrosion protection and overfill/spill protection systems; (ii) upgrade of existing tanks; (iii) actions required in the event of a detected leak; (iv) prevention of leakage through tank closings; and (v) required gasoline inventory recordkeeping. Since 1984, new Company stores have been equipped with non-corroding fiberglass USTs.USTs, including many with double-wall construction, over-fill protection and electronic tank monitoring. The Company currently has 3,0983,088 USTs, of which 2,6042,623 are fiberglass and 494465 are steel. Management believes that its existing gasoline procedures and planned capital expenditures will continue to keep the Company in substantial compliance with all current federal and state UST regulations.

Several of the states in which the Company does business have trust fund programs with provisions for sharing or reimbursing corrective action or remediation costs incurred by UST owners, including the Company. The extent of available coverage or reimbursement under such programs for costs incurred by the Company is not fully known at this time. In each of the years ended April 30, 20062007 and 2005,2006, the Company spent approximately $1,519$1,431 and $1,414,$1,519, respectively, for assessments and remediation. During the ninethree months ended JanuaryJuly 31, 2007, the Company expended approximately $984$259 for such purposes. Substantially all of these expenditures have been submitted for reimbursement from state-sponsored trust fund programs and as of JanuaryJuly 31, 2007, approximately $9,872$10,253 has been received from such programs since their inception. Such amounts are typically subject to statutory provisions requiring repayment of the reimbursed funds for non-compliance with upgrade provisions or other applicable laws. The Company has an accrued liability at JanuaryJuly 31, 2007 of approximately $356$354 for estimated expenses related to anticipated corrective actions or remediation efforts, including relevant legal and consulting costs. Management believes the Company has no material joint and several environmental liability with other parties.

Although the Company regularly accrues expenses for the estimated costs related to its future corrective action or remediation efforts, there can be no assurance that such accrued amounts will be sufficient to pay such costs, or that the Company has identified all environmental liabilities at all of its current store locations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the

– 26 –

Company will not incur substantial expenditures in the future for remediation of contamination or related claims that have not been discovered or asserted with respect to existing store locations or locations that the Company may acquire in the future, or that the Company will not be subject to any claims for reimbursement of funds disbursed to the Company under the various state programs or that additional regulations, or amendments to existing regulations, will not require additional expenditures beyond those presently anticipated.

- 24 -

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. The Company places its investments with high quality credit issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in its policy, the Company’s first priority is to reduce the risk of principal loss. Consequently, the Company seeks to preserve its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. The Company mitigates default risk by investing in only high quality credit securities that it believes to be low risk and by positioning its portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. The Company believes that an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates affecting the Company’s floating and fixed rate financial instruments as of JanuaryJuly 31, 2007 would have an immaterial effect on the Company’s pretax earnings.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 240.13a-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s report.

– 27 –

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—II - OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is named as a defendant in five (5) lawsuits (“hot fuel”(hot fuel cases) brought in the federal courts in Kansas and Missouri against a variety of gasoline retailers. The complaints generally allege that the Company, along with numerous other retailers, has misrepresented gasoline volumes dispensed at its pumps by failing to compensate for

- 25 -

expansion that occurs when fuel is sold at temperatures above 60°60ºF. Fuel is measured at 60°60ºF in wholesale purchase transactions and computation of motor fuel taxes in Kansas and Missouri. The complaints all seek certification as class actions on behalf of gasoline consumers within those two states, and one of the complaints also seeks certification for a class consisting of gasoline consumers in all states. The actions generally seek recovery for alleged violations of state consumer protection or unfair merchandising practices statutes, negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy, and violation of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, anddealing; several seek injunctioninjunctive relief and punitive damages.

These actions are part of a number of similar lawsuits that have been filed in recent weeksmonths in differentapproximately 25 states against a wide range of defendants that produce, refine, distribute, and/or market gasoline products in the United States.

The Company is supporting efforts in On June 18, 2007, the actions in which it is a defendantFederal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered that all of the pending hot fuel cases be transferred to consolidate the different actions underU.S. District Court for the multidistrict litigation procedures available under federal law,Eastern District of Kansas for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings, including rulings by a single court on discovery matters, various pre-trialpretrial motions, and class certification issues.certification. All other proceedings have been stayed pending rulings on such matters. Management does not believe the Company is liable to the defendants for the conduct complained of, and intends to contest the matters vigorously.

On May 30, 2007, a complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa by two former employees, in which the claim is made that Casey’s failed to properly pay overtime compensation properly to two or more of its assistant managers. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that the assistant managers were treated as nonexempt employees entitled to overtime pay, but that the Company did not properly record all hours worked and failed to pay the assistant managers overtime pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week. The action purports to be a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (essentially equivalent to a class action) brought on behalf of all persons who are currently or were employed during the three-year period immediately preceding the filing of [the] complaint as ‘Assistant Managers’ at any Casey’s General Store operated by [the] Defendant (directly or through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries), who worked overtime during any given week within that period, and who have not filed a complaint to recover overtime wages. The complaint seeks relief in the form of back wages owed all members of the class during the three-year period preceding the filing of the complaint, liquidated damages, attorneys fees, and costs.

The Company filed an answer denying the claims, as well as a motion for change of venue to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa sitting in Des Moines. That motion was granted on August 30, 2007 and the case will now be transferred to Des Moines. Plaintiffs have asked the Court to conditionally certify the

- 26 -

class so that the case may proceed as a collective action. The Company has resisted that request and has undertaken an internal investigation of matters bearing on the class certification issue. Management does not believe the Company is liable to the plaintiffs for the conduct complained of, and intends to contest the matter vigorously.

The Company from time to time is a party to other legal proceedings arising from the conduct of its business operations, including proceedings relating to personal injury, property damage and employment claims, environmental remediation activities or contamination-related claims, disputes under franchise agreementscontamination, and claims by state and federal regulatory authorities relating to the sale of products pursuant to state or federal licenses or permits. Claims for compensatory or exemplary damages in those actions may be substantial. Management does not believe that the potential liability of the Company with respect to such other proceedings pending as of the date of this Form 10-Q is material in the aggregate.
