Cagle's, Inc. & Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements January 1, 2000 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Cagle's, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of January 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended January 1, 2000 and the 13 weeks and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999. 2. The results of operations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended January 1, 2000 and the 13 weeks and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 3. Inventories consisted of the following: (In Thousands) January 1, 2000 April 3 1999 Finished Product $17,136 $16,618 Field Inventory and Breeders 12,833 13,316 Feed, Eggs, and Medication 3,231 2,937 Supplies 1,400 1,420 ---------------- -------------- $34,600 $34,291 4. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures 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 may vary from those estimates. 5. Investments in and Receivables from Unconsolidated Affiliates. The Company accounts for its investments in 5 unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method. The Company's share of earnings from these affiliates totaled $2,535,427 for the 13 weeks ended January 1, 2000 and $4,479,000 for the 39 weeks ended January 1, 2000. The earnings reported for the 13 weeks and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999 were $1,056,000 and $4,726,000 respectively. 6. Year 2000 Compliance The Company implemented a formal plan to address issues associated with the Year 2000 as it related to systems throughout the Company and with vendors and customers. The Company had experienced no significant problems as January 1, 2000 passed. The total cost for achieving compliance including hardware and software updates was less than $500,000. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation January 1, 2000 Financial Condition Sharply lower market prices for broiler and broiler meat products have had a major impact on earnings for the quarter and for the nine month period ended January 1, 2000 as compared to year ago levels, yet the Company remains profitable and in a strong financial position. During the quarter, the Company closed a new credit facility comprised of a $72,750,000 term loan and a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility. The new term loan is being utilized to construct the new processing facility at Perry, Ga. and a new feed mill in Rockmart, Ga. As of January 1, 2000 $48,055,500 had been advanced on the term loan and there were no amounts outstanding on the revolver. Results of Operations Sales for the 13 week period ended January 1, 2000 were 7.4% lower as compared to the comparable period ended January 2, 1999 and 4.8% lower for the 39 week period ended January 1, 2000. The lower revenue is the result of significantly lower market prices for broilers and especially white meat items. Export markets have continued to be very weak keeping downward pressure on dark meat, mainly leg quarters and drumsticks. These market factors account for all of the lower revenues for the 13 week period compared to year ago levels. The year to date revenue for the 39 weeks ended January 1, 2000 is also impacted by 1 less week when compared to year to date revenues for the period ended January 2, 1999. Gross margins for the quarter were 6.9% lower than for the same quarter of a year ago and the year to date gross margin was 3.7% lower than for the comparable period of a year ago. These sharply reduced margins are the direct result of lower market prices as cost of production, primarily feed grain cost, have continued to be a favorable factor for margins. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses Expenses in this category increased by 25.6% and 14.8% for the quarter and 9 month period, respectively, as compared to the quarter and 9 month period ending January 2, 1999. This increase is attributed to increased professional fees associated with ongoing litigation and sharing of management personnel to staff the new facilities at Perry, Ga. and Rockmart, Ga. as well as marketing the anticipated increase in volume. Interest Expense Interest Expense was lower by 9.5% and 29.7%, respectively, for the quarter and 9 month period as compared to the same periods of a year ago. This reflects lower over all borrowing levels with the expectation of project financing amounts of which the associated interest was capitalized. Other Income Other income for the 13 weeks ended January 1, 2000 increased by 228.9% as compared to the 13 weeks ended January 2, 1999 and increased by 2.5% for the 9 months ended January 1, 2000 as compared to the same period ended January 2, 1999. This increase is due to the Kentucky joint ventures company attaining profitable operational levels. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes reflects taxes at statutory rates adjusted for available tax credits to which the company expects it is entitled.
