Cagle's, Inc. & Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
June 28, 2003
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 June 28,
2003 and March 29, 2003 and the results of their operations for the 13
weeks ended June 28, 2003 and the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2002.
2. The results of operations for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2003 and June 29,
2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
year.
3. Inventories consisted of the following:
(In Thousands)
June 28, 2003 March 29, 2003
Finished Product $ 7,083 $ 6,078
Field Inventory and Breeders 16,002 16,216
Feed, Eggs, and Medication 2,858 3,710
Supplies 1,409 1,483
---------------- --------------
$27,352 $27,487
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 Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company accounts for its investments in its unconsolidated affiliates
using the equity method. The Company's share of earnings from these
affiliates totaled $733,000 for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2003, and
$1,563,000 for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2002.
6. Other Non-Recurring Activities
During the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2003 the Company received $1,815,714
as recovery in a lawsuit involving vitamin manufacturers and a class action
settlement involving methionine manufactures. This represents recovery of
overcharges for ingredients of poultry feed and as such was recorded as a
credit to cost of sales. During the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2002 the
company received $1,671,000 as partial settlement in the vitamin lawsuit.
7. Certain prior year amounts have been re-classified for consistency with
current period presentation.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
June 28, 2003
Financial Condition
The Company's liquidity continues to be very tight during the quarter ended
June 28, 2003 even as performance was improving as the quarter progressed.
The month of April was the most disappointing with results improving in May
and June. The curtailment of a shift at the Pine Mountain Plant provided some
liquidity, however, placement of additional volume for the Collinsville plant
offset any field inventory reduction generated by the shift elimination at
Pine Mountain Valley. In addition finished product inventories increased
early in the quarter to service customer demand as we moved into the peak
summer demand period and has substantially been reduced as product has moved
to customers.
The company continues to seek replacement financing for the existing bank
facility as well as looking at potential asset sales that would enhance the
ability to refinance.
Results of Operations
A significant improvement in market prices during the 13 weeks ended June 28,
2003 as compared to a year ago helped improve the operating results as
compared to a year ago. Market prices were significantly improved but CUL
not
realized until late in the quarter due to pre-selling and longer term
contract prices. An example of specific prices are boneless breast filet
without tender attached $1.60 per pound average compared to $1.40 per pound
average a year ago. Breast tender $1.46 per pound verses $1.19 a year ago,
wings $.69 verses $.53 a year ago and leg quarters $.21 verses $.18 a year
ago. The major portion of the leg quarter sales are export and are an example
of sales price lagging behind the market quote as these sales are made well
in advance of shipment date.
Feed ingredient prices averaged 20% higher during the quarter as compared to
a year ago levels and the company continued its efforts to improve the product
mix at the Perry operation thereby allowing it to be more cost effective.
Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses
As a group these expenses decreased by over 15% with reduction being legal
and bank fees.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2003 increased by
$60,000 or 3.5% over the same period of a year ago and represents a higher
average borrowing level than a year ago at higher interest rates.
Other Income
Other income declined by $10,957,000 from the same period of a year ago as
year ago results included a gain on disposition of the Company's interest in
a joint venture.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company's interest in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates declined by
53.1% due to the absence of income from the three joint ventures which were
sold during the past year.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes reflects the Company's estimated liability for
income taxes net of any credits to which the Company may be entitled. The
benefit reflected represents the company's expectation of carrying current
losses forward to reduce the tax liability on future earnings.

Part II Other Information
Item 1 Legal Proceedings
Suit was filed against Cagle's Farms, Inc. on December 18, 1998 in
U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by terminated
contract broiler growers. Cagle's, Inc. was subsequently added as a
party. These former growers sought unspecified damages and alleged,
among other things, that their birds were misweighed on numerous
occasions and that they were terminated as growers because of their
involvement in a poultry growers association. Cagle's, Inc. and
Cagle's Farms, Inc. denied all allegations. In addition to the
above mentioned case, a suit was brought against Cagle's, Inc., Cagle's
Farms, Inc., Cagle Foods JV, LLC and Cagle Keystone Food JV, LLC on May
12, 1999 in U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
by three contract broiler growers. This suit alleged certain
discrepancies in weighing live poultry as it is received at the
processing plant and sought unspecified damages. This suit sought class
action status, which was denied by the Court. Subsequently, on July 2,
2001, a number of individual contract broiler growers filed suit in
U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, also
alleging certain discrepancies in weighing and seeking unspecified
damages. Cagle's, Inc. and Cagle's Farms, Inc. denied all allegations.
These three cases were settled during fiscal 2003 and were
dismissed with prejudice by the Court during the last quarter.
Also, suit was filed on May 19, 1999 against Cagle's, Inc., Cagle's Farms,
Inc., Cagle Foods JV, LLC, Cagle Foods Credit LLC and Cagle's Keystone Foods,
LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. This suit
was brought by contract growers seeking unspecified damages and alleging the
defendants misrepresented certain facts regarding profitability and cash flow
as an inducement to their becoming contract producers. The Company and other
defendants deny all allegations. During the last quarter, the Court entered
Summary Judgment in favor of all defendants. The Plaintiffs
are appealing this ruling. Cagle's, Inc. and Cagle's Farms, Inc. are
vigorously defending the appeal, and if the summary judgment ruling is
overturned, the Company will vigorously defend against these actions and
expects to be vindicated.
Item 9 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
a. Not applicable
b. No reports on 8-K were filed during the quarter ended June 28, 2003.
