J & J SNACK FOODS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position and the results of operations and
cash flows.
The results of operations for the three months and
six months ended March 25, 2000 and March 27, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of results for the
full year. Sales of the Company's retail stores are
generally higher in the first quarter due to the
holiday shopping season. Sales of the Company's
frozen beverages and Italian ice are generally
higher in the third and fourth quarters due to
warmer weather.
While the Company believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate to make the information not
misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended September 25, 1999.
Note 2 The Company's calculation of earnings per share in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"

Note 4 In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information". SFAS No. 131 superceded
SFAS 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a
Business Enterprise", replacing the "industry
segment" approach with the "management approach".
The management approach designates the internal
organization that is used by management for making
operating decisions and assessing performance as the
source of the Company's reportable segments, as well
as disclosures about products and services and major
customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not
affect the results of operations or the financial
position of the Company.
Using the guidelines set forth in SFAS No. 131, the
Company has two reportable segments: Snack Foods and
Frozen Beverages. Snack Foods manufactures and
distributes snack foods and bakery items. Frozen
beverages markets and distributes frozen beverage
products. The segments are managed as strategic
business units due to their distinct production
processes and capital requirements.
The Company evaluates each segment's performance
based on income or loss before taxes, excluding
corporate and other unallocated expenses and non-
recurring charges. Information regarding the
operations in these reportable segments is as
follows:

$215,023 $209,613 $215,023 $209,613
Sales to a single Snack Foods' customer were
approximately 10% of the Company's sales for the six
months ending March 27, 1999 and less than 10% for
all other periods reported.
Note 5 In June 1998, SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was
issued. Subsequent to this statement, SFAS No. 137
was issued, which amended the effective date of SFAS
No. 133 to be all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Based on the
Company's minimal use of derivatives at the current
time, management does not anticipate the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 will have a significant impact on
earnings or financial position of the Company.
However, the impact from adopting SFAS No. 133 will
10
depend on the nature and purpose of the derivatives
instruments in use by the Company at that time.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's current cash and marketable securities
balances and cash expected to be provided by future
operations are its primary sources of liquidity. The
Company believes that these sources, along with its
borrowing capacity, are sufficient to fund future growth
and expansion.
In the three months ended March 25, 2000 and March 27,
1999, fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican peso
caused an increase of $35,000 and a increase of $34,000,
respectively, in stockholders' equity because of the
revaluation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican
frozen carbonated beverage subsidiary. In the six month
periods, the increase was $10,000 in fiscal year 2000 and
the increase was $61,000 in fiscal year 1999.
In the six months ended March 25, 2000, the Company
purchased and retired 51,200 shares of its common stock at
a cost of $1,020,000.
Available to the Company are unsecured general purpose
bank lines of credit totaling $30,000,000. Borrowings
under the lines at March 25, 2000 were $16,000,000.
Although the bank lines of credit expire in December, 2000,
the Company has classified the borrowings as long term on
its balance sheet as the Company has the intent and ability
to refinance the lines so that the Company will not be
required to pay off any unpaid balances at December 31,
2000.
Results of Operations
Net sales increased $5,333,000 or 8% to $68,241,000
for the three months and $10,734,000 or 9% to $134,191,000
for the six months ended March 25, 2000 compared to the six
months ended March 27, 1999.
SNACK FOODS
Sales to food service customers decreased $1,260,000
12
or 4% in the second quarter to $26,883,000 and increased
$189,000 or less than 1% for the six months. Excluding
sales resulting from acquisitions, sales would have
decreased 7% for the second quarter and 4% for the six
months. Soft pretzel sales to the food service market
decreased 12% to $14,402,000 in the second quarter and 6%
to $29,838,000 in the six months. Lower sales to two
customers accounted for most of the pretzel sales'
decrease. Frozen juice bars and ices sales increased 10% to
$6,338,000 in the three months and 7% to $10,645,000 in the
six months due primarily to increased unit sales to one
customer. Churro sales to food service customers decreased
21% to $2,499,000 in the second quarter and 17% to
$4,953,000 in the six months due primarily to decreased
unit sales to two customers. Cookie sales increased 32% to
$2,636,000 in the second quarter and 64% to $5,454,000 in
the six months due primarily to the acquisition of the
Camden Creek Bakery cookie business.
Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased
$1,680,000 or 16% to $12,257,000 in the second quarter and
8% to $19,935,000 in the first half. Soft pretzel sales for
the second quarter were up 2% to $7,633,000 and were
essentially unchanged at $13,246,000 for the six months.
Sales of our flagship SUPERPRETZEL brand soft pretzels,
excluding SOFTSTIX, decreased 2% in the second quarter and
4% for the six months. An advertising program which began
in last year's first quarter helped boost year ago pretzel
sales. Sales of frozen juice bars and ices increased
$1,489,000 or 58% to $4,060,000 in the second quarter and
$1,577,000 or 38% to $5,780,000 in the first half due to
sales of new products.
Bakery sales increased $728,000 or 14% to $5,947,000
in the second quarter and $1,596,000 or 13% to $14,058,000
in the first six months due to increased unit sales across
our customer base. Sales of our Bavarian Pretzel Bakery
increased 5% to $3,079,000 in the second quarter and were
essentially unchanged at $6,813,000 for the six month
period.
FROZEN BEVERAGES
Frozen beverage and related product sales increased
$4,040,000 or 25% to $20,075,000 in the second quarter and
13
$7,477,000 or 23% to $40,387,000 in the six months.
Beverage sales alone increased 14% in the second quarter
and the first half to $16,046,000 and $33,028,000,
respectively, and gross profit on beverage sales increased
7% in the quarter and 6% in the six months. Service and
lease revenue increased $2,306,000 in the second quarter
and $3,798,000 in the six months due primarily to services
provided to one customer.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 52%
and 51% in the current year's three and six month periods
from 53% and 52% in the corresponding periods last year.
This gross profit percentage decrease is primarily
attributable to lower gross profit percentages of the
increased service and lease revenue of our frozen beverage
business and lower foodservice pretzel and churro sales.
Total operating expenses increased $2,935,000 in the
second quarter and as a percentage of sales increased less
than / of one percent to 50% from 49% in last year's same
quarter. For the first half, operating expenses increased
$4,408,000 and as a percentage of sales were 49% in both
years. Marketing expenses increased to 34% of sales in
this year's three month period from 33% of sales last year.
For the six month period, marketing expenses decreased less
than / of one percent of sales to 32% from 33% in 1999.
Distribution expenses and administrative expenses as a
percent of sales remained at 11% and 4%, respectively, for
all periods reported. The increase in marketing expenses
as a percent of sales in this year's second quarter is
primarily attributable to lower foodservice sales during
the period.
Operating income decreased $871,000 or 35% to
$1,585,000 in the second quarter and $757,000 or 20% to
$3,119,000 in the first half.
For the three and six months, interest expense
decreased $121,000 and $314,000, respectively, due to lower
debt levels.
The effective income tax rate has been estimated at
37% in all periods.
Net earnings decreased $439,000 or 37% in the current
14
three month period to $740,000 and $354,000 or 20% in the
current six month period to $1,406,000.

Market Risk
