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
nine months ended June 24, 2000 and June 26, 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 frozen juice bars and ices are
generally higher in the third and fourth quarters
due to seasonal factors.
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 SFAS No. 131 superceded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:

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
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 future expected operating cash flow
along with its borrowing capacity are its primary sources
of liquidity. The Company believes that these sources are
sufficient to fund future growth and expansion.
In the three months ended June 24, 2000 and June 26,
1999, fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso caused
a decrease of $118,000 and a increase of $4,000,
respectively, in stockholders' equity because of the
revaluation of the net assets of the Company's Mexican
frozen beverage subsidiary. In the nine month periods, the
decrease was $93,000 in fiscal year 2000 and the increase
was $65,000 in fiscal year 1999.
In the three months ended June 24, 2000, the Company
purchased and retired 531,800 shares of its common stock at
a cost of $8,370,000. In the nine months ended June 24,
2000, the Company purchased and retired 583,000 shares of
its common stock at a cost of $9,390,000. The Company is
authorized to purchase and retire an additional 417,000
shares under a buyback authorization approved by the Board
of Directors in December 1999.
Available to the Company are unsecured general purpose
bank lines of credit totaling $30,000,000. Borrowings
under the lines at June 24, 2000 were $22,000,000. As the
bank lines of credit expire in December 2000, the Company
has classified the borrowings as a current obligation on
its balance sheet. Although these lines expire in December
2000, it is management's intent to renegotiate these
financings prior to their due date.
Results of Operations
Net sales increased $7,485,000 or 9% to $89,579,000
for the three months and $18,219,000 or 9% to $223,770,000
for the nine months ended June 24, 2000 compared to the
nine months ended June 26, 1999.
11
SNACK FOODS
Sales to food service customers of $32,204,000 in the
third quarter and $85,202,000 in the nine months were
essentially unchanged from last year's periods. Excluding
sales resulting from acquisitions, sales would have
decreased approximately 1% for the third quarter and 3% for
the nine months. Soft pretzels sales to the food service
market decreased 5% to $15,027,000 in the third quarter and
6% to $44,865,000 in the nine months due primarily to lower
unit sales to three customers. Frozen juice bars and ices
sales decreased less than 1% to $9,753,000 in the three
months and increased 3% to $20,398,000 in the nine months.
Churro sales to food service customers decreased 6% to
$3,020,000 in the third quarter and 13% to $7,973,000 in
the nine months due primarily to decreased unit sales to
two customers. Cookie sales increased 10% to $2,225,000 in
the third quarter due to increased unit sales and 52% to
$7,679,000 in the nine months due to the acquisition of the
Camden Creek cookie business and increased unit sales.
Sales of products to retail supermarkets increased
$5,215,000 or 42% to $17,763,000 in the third quarter and
22% to $37,698,000 in the nine months. Soft pretzel sales
for the third quarter were up 16% and for the nine months
were up 4% from last year to $6,067,000 and $19,313,000,
respectively. Sales of our flagship SUPERPRETZEL brand soft
pretzels, excluding SOFTSTIX, increased 15% in the third
quarter and 1% for the nine months. An advertising program
which began in last year's first quarter helped boost year
ago pretzel sales for the nine month period. Sales of
frozen juice bars and ices increased $4,530,000 or 68% to
$11,167,000 in the third quarter and increased $6,009,000
or 55% to $16,947,000 in the nine months. Sales of the
Companys Minute Maid* brand licensed products, introduced
in the second quarter, accounted for most of the frozen
juice bars and ices' sales increase.
Bakery sales increased $323,000 or 5% to $6,852,000 in
the third quarter and $1,919,000 or 10% to $20,910,000 in
the nine months due to increased unit sales across our

12
customer base. Sales of our Bavarian Pretzel Bakery
increased 3% to $2,916,000 in the third quarter and 1% to
$9,729,000 in the nine month period.
FROZEN BEVERAGES
Frozen beverage and related product sales increased
$1,761,000 or 6% to $29,844,000 in the third quarter and
$9,238,000 or 15% to $70,231,000 in the nine months.
Beverage sales alone increased 9% in the third quarter to
$25,454,000 and 11% to $58,482,000 in the nine months and
gross profit on beverage sales increased 7% in the quarter
and 6% in the nine months. Service and lease revenue
increased $813,000 in the third quarter and $4,610,000 in
the nine months due primarily to service provided to one
customer.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 53%
and 52% in the current third quarter and nine months,
respectively, from 54% and 53% in the corresponding periods
last year. The gross profit percentage decrease in the
third quarter is primarily due to cost overruns during
start up manufacturing of our Minute Maid brand licensed
products which was begun during the Company's second
quarter and lower foodservice pretzel and churro sales. For
the nine months, the gross profit percentage decrease is
attributable to cost overruns during start up manufacturing
of our Minute Maid brand licensed products which was begun
during the Company's second quarter, lower foodservice
pretzel and churro sales, and lower gross profit
percentages of the increased service and lease revenue of
our frozen beverage business.
Total operating expenses increased $3,976,000 in the
third quarter and as a percentage of sales increased to 43%
from 42% in last year's same quarter. For the nine months,
operating expenses increased $8,384,000 and as a percentage
of sales was 46% in both years. Marketing expenses
increased to 31% of sales in this year's third quarter from
29% last year and increased less than one percentage point
of sales to 32% of sales in the nine months from 31% of
sales last year primarily due to the higher level of sales
of products to retail supermarkets which generally require
13
higher marketing expenses as a percentage of sales.
Distribution expenses decreased less than one percentage
point of sales to 8% of sales in the third quarter from 9%
in last year's quarter and were 10% of sales in both year's
nine months period. Administration expenses were 3% and 4%
of sales in both year's third quarter and nine months,
respectively.
Operating income decreased $1,048,000 or 11% to
$8,620,000 in the third quarter and $1,805,000 or 13% to
$11,739,000 in the nine months.
For the three and nine months, interest expense
decreased $110,000 and $424,000, respectively, due to lower
debt levels.
The effective income tax rate has been estimated at
37% in all periods reported.
Net earnings decreased $695,000 or 12% in the current
three month period to $5,010,000 and $1,049,000 or 14% in
the current nine month period to $ 6,416,000.
