Cagle's, Inc. & Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements October 2, 1999 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 October 2, 1999 and April 3, 1999 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended October 2, 1999 and the 14 weeks and 27 weeks ended October 3, 1998. 2. The results of operations for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended October 2, 1999 and the 14 weeks and 27 weeks ended October 3, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 3. Inventories consisted of the following: (In Thousands) October 2, 1999 April 3, 1999 Finished Product $17,592 $16,618 Field Inventory and Breeders 13,615 13,316 Feed, Eggs, and Medication 2,481 2,937 Supplies 1,462 1,420 ---------------- -------------- $35,150 $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 $930,573 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 1999 and $1,943,573 for the 26 weeks ended October 2, 1999. The earnings reported for the 14 weeks and 27 weeks ended October 3, 1998 were $1,769,000 and $3,671,000, respectively. 6. Year 2000 Compliance The Company implemented a formal plan to address issues associated with the Year 2000 during 1998 as these issues relate to systems throughout the Company and with vendors and customers. Progress is monitored regularly and the status is reported to the Board of Directors quarterly. The Company completed its last major hardware and software system conversion during the quarter just ended. All systems, internal and external, (i.e. vendors and customers), will continue to be monitored throughout the remaining time leading up to 1/1/2000. Substantially all of the Company's compliance projects are complete and the total cost is expected to be less than $500,000. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations October 2, 1999 Financial Condition Although margins have declined due to lower market prices when compared to year ago levels, the Company remained profitable for the quarter and six months ended October 2, 1999. The Company has utilized the cash flow generated by continued profits to reduce debt and fund capital needs of the new Perry Processing facility and the new Rockmart, Georgia feed mill. A new credit facility has been negotiated to fund the $54 million required for the above mentioned projects and has been closed subsequent to the end of the quarter. The total credit facility will be comprised of a $72,750,000 term loan and a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility. Results of Operations Sales for the 13 week period were 10.5% lower than for the same period of a year ago and is attributed to the extra week included for the comparable quarter last year and somewhat weaker market prices, especially for white meat. Sales for the 26 week period were 3.6% lower than for the 27 week period of a year ago and, as for the quarter, was attributed to the one week difference along with overall lower market prices. Gross margins for the quarter were 4.8% lower than for the same period of a year ago and 2.2% lower for the 6 month period as compared to year ago margins. The lower margin is the result for lower market prices for broilers and white meat items as well as export products, predominately leg quarters. The market impact was offset to some extent by lower feed grain cost. Feed cost averaged 9.2% less for the 13 weeks and 11.5% lower for the 26 week periods when compared to the same periods of a year ago. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses As a classification these expenses were up 3.9% for the quarter and 10.0% for the six month period as compared to a year ago. This increase is attributed primarily to increased professional fees associated with ongoing litigation and increased management staffing in preparation for the new processing facility under construction in Perry, Georgia. Interest Expense Interest Expense for the quarter was 49.1% lower than for the comparable quarter and 37.1% lower for the six month period of a year ago due to reduced debt levels and the allocation of $144,934 of interest to the ongoing capital projects. Other Income Other income declined by 48% for the quarter and 45.5% for the 6 month period when compared to the same periods of a year ago and is the result of losses incurred in the start-up of the Kentucky Joint Venture Company. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes reflects taxes at statutory rates adjusted for available tax credits to which the company is entitled.
