   During the quarter the Company signed a letter of intent to sell its Perry,
Georgia complex and subsequently did so in January. Recognition of the
impairment to the assets held for sale was reflected in this quarter resulting
in a charge of $18,528,000 in addition to $3,797,000 of accrued expenses
relating to the transaction. After adjusting for a 14 week quarter versus a
thirteen week quarter, January 03, 2004 revenue was up 6.2% versus the third
quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase in revenue was offset by a rise in cost
of sales of 12.5% of which 4.6% were the aforementioned accrued expenses and
the balance primarily from increased cost of feed ingredients for our live
flocks.
