Cagle's, Inc. & Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements October 3, 1998 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 January 2, 1999 and March 28, 1998 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 13 weeks and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999 and the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 27, 1997. 2. The results of operations for the 13 weeks and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999 and the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December 27, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 3. Inventories consisted of the following: (In Thousands) January 2, 1999 March 28, 1998 Finished Product $14,422 $14,295 Field Inventory and Breeders 14,686 14,036 Feed, Eggs, and Medication 2,405 2,582 Supplies 1,217 1,654 ---------------- -------------- $32,730 $32,567 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) five unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method. The Company's share of earnings from from these affiliates totaled $1,056,000 and $4,726,000 for the 13 weeks and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999. Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates existing during the 13 and 39 weeks ended December 27, 1997 were $1,466,000 and $5,799,000 respectively. 6. Year 2000 Compliance The Company has implemented a formal plan to address issues associated with the Year 2000 as it relates to systems throughout the company and with vendors and customers. Progress is monitored regularly and the status is reported to management and quarterly to the Board of Directors. The Company is on schedule to be fully compliant by April 3, 1999 as it relates to all major issues. The total costs associated with this program is not expected to materially affect earnings although final cost will not be known until program is complete. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation January 2, 1999 Financial Condition Continued strong earnings and cash flows have enabled the Company to make Capital improvements, continue its stock re-purchase program and significantly reduce its debt during the nine months ended January 2, 1999. During the quarter just completed the Company renewed its revolving line of credit and increased the line to $40 million of which $19 million was outstanding at the end of the period. Results of Operations Sales for the 13 week period ended January 2, 1999 compared to the 13 weeks ended December 27, 1997 were 1.1% higher and is attributed to 4% more production pounds, a higher market price for whole birds. Georgia Dock quoted market price was 16.1% higher, however the impact of depressed export prices for dark meat tended to off-set other positive market conditions. Sales for the 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999 were 2.6% lower than year ago levels and while production for the quarter was up slightly over year ago levels the year to date production total was slightly less and the same market factors influenced the total year to days results. Another factor influencing revenues for the 13 week and 40 week period as compared to year ago levels is volume of outside purchases for further processing which has been lower than previous years due to ability to better utilize production from within the company to produce further processed items. Gross margins for the quarter and 40 week period ended January 2, 1999 were significantly improved over the corresponding periods of a year ago. For the quarter ended January 2, 1999 gross margin was 15.4% as compared to 3.71% for the same quarter of a year ago. For the 40 weeks ended January 2, 1999 the gross margin was 14.2% as compared to 4.3% for the 39 weeks ended December 27, 1997. The major contributor to this improvement was lower feed cost which averaged 26.5% and 23.4% lower for the quarter and 9 month periods respectively as compared to year ago prices. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses Selling, delivery and administrative expenses were down slightly for the quarter and unchanged for year to date as compared to the same period of a year ago. Interest Expense Interest Expense was 26.6% lower for the quarter and 17.2% lower for the 40 weeks as compared to the same periods of a year ago and is a function of reduced borrowing. Other Income Other income declined by 66.4% for the quarter and 33.5% for the 40 weeks as compared to the comparable periods of a year ago. This drop-off in other income reflects the impact of Kentucky Joint Ventures operations which are recorded via the equity method. When netted together against earnings of the other unconsolidated affiliates the total is substantially reduced. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes reflects taxes at statutory rates adjusted for available tax credits to which the company is entitled.
