Note 4 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
------------------------------------------
The Company early adopted certain matters addressed in Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," and EITF
00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a
Reseller of the Vendor's Products".  Certain costs, which were recorded as
selling and administrative expenses, are now recorded as a reduction in
revenue.  Similar reclassifications have been made to prior period comparative
information. These reclassifications were not material and had no impact on the
Company's net income or financial position.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets".  SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method.  With the adoption of SFAS
142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful
life.  Instead, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for
impairment by applying a fair-value-based test.  In addition, under the new
rules, acquired intangible assets will be separately recognized if the benefit
of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights,
or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or
exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so.  The provisions of
SFAS 142 must be applied with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The Company will adopt SFAS 142 beginning June 28, 2002.  Management is
currently assessing the implementation guidance being provided by the FASB and
other regulatory bodies and has not yet determined the effect, if any, the new
rules will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Any adjustments arising from the initial impairment assessment would be
reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

Note 5 -- Management's Statement
--------------------------------
The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company.  In the opinion of the Company's management, these statements present
fairly the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets
and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all normal recurring
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods.  The interim results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a
full year.  The data presented on the balance sheet for the fiscal year ended
June 28, 2001 were derived from audited financial statements.  It is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2001.

Note 6 -- Proposed Acquisition
------------------------------
On August 24, 2001 the Company announced that it signed a letter of intent to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Navarro Pecan Company, Inc., one
of the largest pecan shellers in the United States.  The transaction is
contingent upon due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive
agreement, board approval and other conditions.  The parties have been unable
to conclude a definitive agreement as of this date.  Either party to the
letter of intent may terminate the letter if a definitive agreement has not
been executed and delivered by November 22, 2001.



Item 2
------
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------


General
-------
The Company's business is seasonal.  Demand for peanut and other nut products
is highest during the months of October through December.  Peanuts, pecans,
walnuts, almonds and cashews, the Company's principal raw materials, are
purchased primarily during the period from August to February and are
processed throughout the year.  As a result of this seasonality, the Company's
personnel and working capital requirements peak during the last four months of
the calendar year.  Also, due primarily to the seasonal nature of the
Company's business, the Company maintains significant inventories of peanuts,
pecans, walnuts, almonds and other nuts at certain times of the year,
especially during the second and third quarters of the Company's fiscal year.
Fluctuations in the market prices of such nuts may affect the value of the
Company's inventory and thus the Company's profitability.  At September 27,
2001, the Company's inventories totaled approximately $86.8 million compared
to approximately $98.6 million at June 28, 2001, and approximately $98.0
million at September 28, 2000.  The decrease in inventories at September 27,
2001 when compared to September 28, 2000 is primarily due to decreased levels
of inshell pecans on hand. The decrease in inventories at September 27, 2001
as compared to June 28, 2001 is primarily responsible for the decrease in
notes payable at September 27, 2001 as compared to June 28, 2001.  See
"Factors That May Affect Future Results -- Availability of Raw Materials and
Market Price Fluctuations."

The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year, and
references herein to "fiscal" years are to the fiscal years ended in the
indicated calendar year (for example, "fiscal 2002" refers to the Company's
fiscal year ending June 27, 2002).  The Company's fiscal year typically
consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters).

Results of Operations
---------------------
Net Sales.  Net sales increased from approximately $84.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 to approximately $84.8 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002, an increase of approximately $0.2 million, or 0.3%.  The slight
increase was due primarily to higher unit volume sales to the Company's retail
customers, offset by lower unit volume sales to the Company's industrial
customers. The increase in sales to retail customers was due primarily to
increased sales of private label products. The decrease in sales to industrial
customers was due primarily to high sales of pecans in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased
approximately 4.6% to approximately $11.2 million from approximately $11.7
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Gross profit margin decreased
from approximately 13.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to approximately
13.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.  The decrease in gross profit
margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was due primarily to: (i) a
decrease in gross profit margin on sales to industrial customers, and (ii) an
increase in private label sales, which generally carry lower gross profit
margins than sales of branded products.

Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales increased from approximately 9.1% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 to approximately 9.3% for the first quarter of fiscal
2002.  The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage in
net sales is due primarily to increases in the Company's overall health
insurance costs.

Income from Operations.  Due to the factors discussed above, income from
operations decreased from approximately $4.0 million, or 4.7% of net sales,
for the first quarter of fiscal 2001, to approximately $3.3 million, or 3.9%
of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased from approximately $2.1 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to approximately $1.6 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest expense was due
primarily to lower average levels of borrowings due to the reduction in levels
of inventories and lower interest rates associated with the Bank Credit
Facility defined below.

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense was approximately $0.7 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to approximately $0.8 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for both
quarters.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company continued to finance its
activities through a bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility"), a
long-term financing facility originally entered into by the Company in 1992
(the "Long-Term Financing Facility") and a long-term financing arrangement
entered into in 1995 (the "Additional Long-Term Financing").

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $20.3 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to approximately $16.1 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 2001.  The increase in cash provided by operating
activities was due primarily to: (i) an increase in unit volume sales in
fiscal 2002 when compared to fiscal 2001 and (ii) slightly lower purchases of
inventories in fiscal 2002. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the
Company spent approximately $1.8 million in capital expenditures, compared to
approximately $2.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001.  This
decrease was due primarily to the addition of processing lines at the
Company's facilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company repaid approximately $2.7 million of long-
term debt, the same as the amount repaid for the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

The Bank Credit Facility is comprised of (i) a working capital revolving loan,
which provides for working capital financing of up to approximately $62.3
million, in the aggregate, and matures on May 31, 2003, and (ii) a letter of
credit of approximately $7.7 million to secure the industrial development
bonds, which matures on June 1, 2002. Borrowings under the working capital
revolving loan accrue interest at a rate (the weighted average of which was
4.73% at September 27, 2001) determined pursuant to a formula based on the
agent bank's quoted rate and the Eurodollar Interbank rate.  As of September
27, 2001, the Company had approximately $36.9 million of available credit
under the Bank Credit Facility.

Of the total $35.0 million of borrowings under the Long-Term Financing
Facility, $25.0 million matures on August 15, 2004, bears interest rates
ranging from 7.34% to 9.18% per annum payable quarterly, and requires equal
semi-annual principal installments based on a ten-year amortization schedule.
 The remaining $10.0 million of this indebtedness matures on May 15, 2006,
bears interest at the rate of 9.16% per annum payable quarterly, and requires
equal semi-annual principal installments based on a ten-year amortization
schedule.  As of September 27, 2001, the total principal amount outstanding
under the Long-Term Financing Facility was approximately $12.5 million.

The Additional Long-Term Financing has a maturity date of September 1, 2005
and (i) as to $10.0 million of the principal amount thereof, bears interest at
an annual rate of 8.3% payable semiannually and requires annual principal
payments of approximately $1.4 million each through maturity, and (ii) as to
the other $15.0 million of the principal amount thereof, bears interest at an
annual rate of 9.38% payable semiannually and requires principal payments of
$5.0 million each on September 1, 2003 and September 1, 2004, with a final
payment of $5.0 million at maturity on September 1, 2005. As of September 27,
2001, the total principal amount outstanding under the Additional Long-Term
Financing was approximately $20.7 million.

The terms of the Company's financing facilities, as amended, include certain
restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the Company to
maintain specified financial ratios; (ii) limit the Company's annual capital
expenditures; and (iii) require that Jasper B. Sanfilippo (the Company's
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer) and Mathias A. Valentine (a
director and the Company's President) together with their respective immediate
family members and certain trusts created for the benefit of their respective
sons and daughters, continue to own shares representing the right to elect a
majority of the directors of the Company.  In addition, (i) the Long-Term
Financing Facility limits the Company's payment of dividends to a cumulative
amount not to exceed 25% of the Company's cumulative net income from and after
January 1, 1996, (ii) the Additional Long-Term Financing limits cumulative
dividends to the sum of (a) 50% of the Company's cumulative net income (or
minus 100% of the Company's cumulative net loss) from and after January 1,
1995 to the date the dividend is declared, (b) the cumulative amount of the
net proceeds received by the Company during the same period from any sale of
its capital stock, and (c) $5.0 million, and (iii) the Bank Credit Facility
limits dividends to the lesser of (a) 25% of net income for the previous
fiscal year, or (b) $5.0 million and prohibits the Company from redeeming
shares of capital stock.  As of September 27, 2001, the Company was in
compliance with all restrictive covenants under its financing facilities.  The
Company believes that cash flow from operating activities and funds available
under the Bank Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet working capital
requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
The Company early adopted certain matters addressed in Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," and EITF
00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a
Reseller of the Vendor's Products".  Certain costs, which were recorded as
selling and administrative expenses, are now recorded as a reduction in
revenue.  Similar reclassifications have been made to prior period comparative
information. These reclassifications were not material and had no impact on the

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------
The statements contained in this filing which are not historical (including
statements concerning the Company's expectations regarding market risk) are
"forward looking statements".  These forward looking statements, which are
generally identified by the use of forward looking words and phrases such as
"intends", "may", "believes" and "expects", represent the Company's present
expectations or beliefs concerning future events.  The Company cautions that
such statements are qualified by important factors, including the factors
described below under "Factors That May Affect Future Results", that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements, as well as the timing and occurrence (or nonoccurrence) of
transactions and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond the
Company's control.  Consequently, results actually achieved may differ
materially from the expected results included in these statements.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
--------------------------------------
  (a)  Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of the Company's
products, including peanuts, pecans and other nuts are subject to crop size
and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond the Company's control, such as
weather conditions and plant diseases. Additionally, the supply of edible nuts
and other raw materials used in the Company's products could be reduced upon
any determination by the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") or
other government agency that certain pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals
used by growers have left harmful residues on portions of the crop or that the
crop has been contaminated by aflatoxin or other agents.  Shortages in the
supply of and increases in the prices of nuts and other raw materials used by
the Company in its products (to the extent that cost increases cannot be
passed on to customers) could have an adverse impact on the Company's
profitability. Furthermore, fluctuations in the market prices of nuts may
affect the value of the Company's inventories and the Company's profitability.
The Company has significant inventories of nuts that would be adversely
affected by any decrease in the market price of such raw materials.  See
"General" .

  (b) Market and Import/Export Conditions and Uncertainties
  ---------------------------------------------------------
The terrorist attacks of September 11 and subsequent events have created
considerable economic and political uncertainties.  Sales to the Company's
airline customers have been adversely impacted.  For the fiscal year ended June
28, 2001, sales to airline customers represented approximately 3% of the
Company's total sales.  Additionally, the terrorist attacks and subsequent
events may have material adverse effects on imports, shipping and
transportation, fuel costs, consumer buying behavior, general economic
conditions and other factors affecting the Company's business.

  (c) Competitive Environment
  ---------------------------
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment.  The Company's
principal products compete against food and snack products manufactured and
sold by numerous regional and national companies, some of which are
substantially larger and have greater resources than the Company, such as
Planters and Ralcorp Holdings, Inc.  The Company also competes with other
shellers in the industrial market and with regional processors in the retail
and wholesale markets.  In order to maintain or increase its market share, the
Company must continue to price its products competitively, which may lower
revenue per unit and cause declines in gross margin, if the Company is unable
to increase unit volumes as well as reduce its costs.

  (d) Fixed Price Commitments
  ---------------------------
From time to time, the Company enters into fixed price commitments with its
customers.  Such commitments typically represent approximately 10% of the
Company's annual net sales and are normally entered into after the Company's
cost to acquire the nut products necessary to satisfy the fixed price
commitment is substantially fixed.  However, the Company expects to continue
to enter into fixed price commitments with respect to certain of its nut
products prior to fixing its acquisition cost when, in management's judgment,
market or crop harvest conditions so warrant.  To the extent the Company does
so, these fixed price commitments may result in losses.  Historically, such
losses have generally been offset by gains on other fixed price commitments.
However, there can be no assurance that losses from fixed price commitments
may not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

  (e) Federal Regulation of Peanut Prices, Quotas and Poundage Allotments
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Peanuts are an important part of the Company's product line.  Approximately
50% of the total pounds of products processed annually by the Company are
peanuts, peanut butter and other products containing peanuts.  The production
and marketing of peanuts are regulated by the USDA under the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938 (the "Agricultural Adjustment Act").  The Agricultural
Adjustment Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder, support the peanut
crop by: (i) limiting peanut imports; (ii) limiting the amount of peanuts that
American farmers are allowed to take to the domestic market each year; and
(iii) setting a minimum price that a sheller must pay for peanuts which may be
sold for domestic consumption. The amount of peanuts that American farmers can
sell each year is determined by the Secretary of Agriculture and is based upon
the prior year's peanut consumption in the United States.  Only peanuts that
qualify under the quota may be sold for domestic food products and seed. The
peanut quota for the 2001 crop year is approximately 1.2 million tons.
Peanuts in excess of the quota are called "additional peanuts" and generally
may only be exported or used domestically for crushing into oil or meal.
Current regulations permit additional peanuts to be domestically processed and
exported as finished goods to any foreign country.  The quota support price
for the 2001 crop year is approximately $610 per ton.

The 1996 Farm Bill extended the federal support and subsidy program for
peanuts for seven years. However, there are no assurances that Congress will
not change or eliminate the program prior to its scheduled expiration.  In
October 2001, the House of Representatives approved The Farm Security Act of
2001, which would terminate the federal peanut quota program beginning with
the 2002 crop year. Changes in or termination of the federal peanut program
could significantly affect the supply of, and price for, peanuts.  Although
the Company has successfully operated in a market shaped by the federal peanut
program for many years, the Company believes that it could adapt to a market
without federal regulation if that were to become necessary.  However, the
Company has no experience in operating in such a peanut market, and no
assurances can be given that the elimination or modification of the federal
peanut program would not adversely affect the Company's business.  Future
changes in, or termination of, import quota limitations or the quota support
price for peanuts at a time when the Company is maintaining a significant
inventory of peanuts or has significant outstanding purchase commitments could
adversely affect the Company's business by lowering the market value of the
peanuts in its inventory or the peanuts which it is committed to buy.  While
the Company believes that its ability to use its raw peanut inventories in its
own processing operations gives it greater protection against these changes
than is possessed by certain competitors whose operations are limited to
either shelling or processing, no assurances can be given that future changes
in, or the elimination of, the federal peanut program or import quotas will
not adversely affect the Company's business.


Item 3
------
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------
The Company has not entered into transactions using derivative financial
instruments.  The Company believes that its exposure to market risk related to
its other financial instruments (which are the debt instruments under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources") is not material.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
---------------------------

Item 2 -- Changes in Securities
-------------------------------

Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" under
Part I of this report, there are restrictive covenants under the Company's
financing facilities which limit the payment of dividends, such information
which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5 -- Other Information
---------------------------
On August 24, 2001 the Company announced that it signed a letter of intent to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Navarro Pecan Company, Inc., one
of the largest pecan shellers in the United States.  The transaction is
contingent upon due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive
agreement, board approval and other conditions.  The parties have been unable
to conclude a definitive agreement as of this date.  Either party to the
letter of intent may terminate the letter if a definitive agreement has not
been executed and delivered by November 22, 2001.
