Cagle's, Inc. & Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements December 28, 1996 1. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which are of normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Cagle's, Inc. and Subsidiary(the "Company") as of December 28, 1996 and March 30, 1996 and the results of their operations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995 and their cash flows for the 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995. 2. The results of operations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 3. Inventories consisted of the following: (In Thousands) December 28, 1996 March 30, 1996 Finished Product	 $15,231 $ 10,640 Field Inventory and Breeders 16,724 17,630 Feed, Eggs, and Medication 2,920 3,000 Supplies	 1,758 1,638 ---------------- -------------- $36,633 $32,908 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 three unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method. The Company's share of earnings and management fees from these affiliates was $1,913,000 and $1,397,000 and $5,460,000 and $3,807,000 respectively for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995. 6. Insurance Proceeds Receivable As of December 28, 1996, the Company has accrued $4,483,000 for the receipt of insurance proceeds related to the fire at the Company's Pine Mountain Plant on June 24, 1995. The Company received $3,200,000 as an advance on the claim during the 9 months ended December 28, 1996. The adjusting of the total claim is continuing. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation December 28, 1996 Financial Condition The Company's Financial condition improved during the quarter as a result of a return to profitable operations which allowed some reduction in debt. Moderation in the price of feed grains reduced demands for cash and borrowing levels in total. As of December 28, 1996, $26 Million was advanced on the $35 Million revolver, however, $4 million of this advance was utilized to retire the Industrial Revenue Bonds that had financed construction of a feed mill. Results of Operations Sales for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 increased 32.7% and 13.1% respectively as compared to the same periods of a year ago. This increase is due mainly to the return of the Pine Mountain Valley facility to production. It was out of production from June 24, 1995 to late November 1995 and was not at full pre-fire production until mid fourth quarter of a year ago. In addition, the Georgia Dock reported market price for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks averaged 11.3% and 12.6% higher, respectively, than year ago prices during the same periods. Gross margins improved for the quarter ended December 28, 1996 by 1.3% as compared to year ago levels, but for the 39 weeks, margins were 1.7% lower. The current quarter reflected the moderation of grain prices and higher market prices for poultry, especially in the export sector. The lower margins for the 39 week period ended December 28, 1996 as compared to year ago levels reflect the full effect of record high grain prices during the summer and early fall. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses Selling, delivery and administrative expenses increased by 26.9% and 9.1% respectively for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995. This increase is the result of increased storage cost required for higher frozen product production in support of domestic and export sales. Interest Expense Interest expense was 62.0% and 151.0% higher respectively for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995 and is the direct result of higher borrowing levels necessitated by the building of the new plant at Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia and to support higher working capital needs brought about by high grain costs and increased inventory levels dictated by our marketing mix. Other Income Other income for the 13 week and 39 week periods was 45.0% and 48.7% lower, respectively, than the same year ago periods due to the inclusion of gains from insured recoveries in the year ago amounts. Other income for the quarter and 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 included $770,000 which resulted from the settlement of a condemnation suit which had been pending for several years. Income Taxes The benefit provision for income taxes for the 39 weeks ended December 28, 1996 reflects a credit at statutory rates for the loss currently reported.
