Note 4 -- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- ----------------------------------------------
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", effective June 28, 2002.  SFAS 142
requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill
amortization.  In addition, SFAS 142 includes provisions for the
reclassification of certain existing recognized intangible assets as
goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized
intangible assets, reclassification of certain intangible assets out of
previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units
for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.
SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional impairment
test six months from the date of adoption, which will occur during the
Company's second quarter of fiscal 2003.  Any impairment loss resulting
from the transitional impairment test would be recorded as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle effective June 28, 2002.
Accordingly, the financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal
2003 would be restated for any such impairment loss. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of SFAS 142 on its financial position and
results of operations.  As required under SFAS 142, amortization of both
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives has been
discontinued.

The following table details goodwill and other intangible assets as of
September 26, 2002:

Note 5 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- ------------------------------------------
As discussed above in Note 4, SFAS 142 became effective as of the
beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2003.


SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", became
effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  This statement
requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period in which the liability is
incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The
associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset.  The implementation of SFAS 143
did not have an effect on the Company's cash flows, financial position
or results of operations.

SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", became effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  This
statement provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for
impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued
operations.  The implementation of SFAS 144 did not have an effect on
the Company's cash flows, financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities".  This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 will become effective in the
third quarter of fiscal 2003. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company's cash flows, financial
position or results of operations.


Note 6 -- 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
27, 2002 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
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2002.



Item 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 26, 2002,
the Company's inventories totaled approximately $91.7 million compared
to approximately $99.5 million at June 27, 2002, and approximately $86.8
million at September 27, 2001.  The decrease in inventories at September
26, 2002 when compared to June 27, 2002 is due to the majority of nut
purchases occurring during the second and third quarters of the
Company's fiscal year. The increase in inventories at September 26, 2002
when compared to September 27, 2001 is primarily due to (i) an increase
in finished goods to support the increase in sales volume, and (ii) an
increase in the quantity of inshell pecans on hand due to higher
purchases in the 2001 crop year (which ended in approximately February
2002) than in the 2000 crop year. These increases in inventories were
partially offset by decreases in inshell peanuts on hand due to a later
harvesting of peanuts in fiscal 2003. See "Factors That May Affect
Future Results" -- "2002 Farm Bill" and "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 2003" refers to the
Company's fiscal year ending June 26, 2003).  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 $84.8 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately $93.1 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2003, an increase of approximately $8.3 million,
or 9.8%.  The increase in net sales was due primarily to higher unit
volume sales to the Company's retail, export and contract packaging
customers. The increase in net sales to retail customers was due
primarily to an increase in private label business through the addition
of new customers and the expansion of business to existing customers.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2003
decreased approximately 1.3% to approximately $11.0 million from
approximately $11.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.  Gross
profit margin decreased from approximately 13.2% for the first quarter
of fiscal 2002 to approximately 11.9% for the first quarter of fiscal
2003.  The decrease in gross profit margin was due primarily to: (i) an
adjustment of the Company's peanut inventory costs to reflect the new
farm bill's anticipated effect on the peanut market; and (ii) changes in
the sales mix as private label sales (the primary source of the increase
in net sales) generally carry lower margins than sales to the Company's
other customers.

Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from approximately 9.3%
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately 7.8% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2003.  Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased from approximately 6.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002
to approximately 5.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  This
decrease was due primarily to: (i) continuous efforts to control
expenses and (ii) the fixed nature of certain of these expenses relative
to a larger revenue base.  Administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales decreased from approximately 2.8% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 to approximately 2.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
This decrease was due primarily to the fixed nature of these expenses
relative to a larger revenue base.

Income from Operations.  Due to the factors discussed above, income from
operations increased from approximately $3.3 million, or 3.9% of net
sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, to approximately $3.8
million, or 4.1% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased from approximately $1.6
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to approximately $1.2
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  The decrease in interest
expense was due primarily to: (i) lower average levels of borrowings due
to positive cash flow from operations and  (ii) lower interest rates
associated with the Bank Credit Facility, as defined below.

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense was approximately $1.1 million, or
39.0% of income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2003
compared to approximately $0.7 million, or 40.0% of income before income
taxes, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Net Income.  Net income was approximately $1.7 million, or $0.18 per
common share (basic and diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2003,
compared to approximately $1.1 million, or $0.12 per common share (basic
and diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, 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 $18.1
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to approximately
$18.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.  The slight decrease
in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to purchasing
a greater quantity of almonds during the first quarter of fiscal 2003
when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase in
almond purchases was partially offset by decreases in peanut purchases
due to a later harvest of the peanut crop in fiscal 2003. During the
first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company spent approximately $3.4
million on capital expenditures, compared to approximately $1.8 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was due primarily to
the expansion of processing capacities and capabilities at the Company's
Gustine, California facility.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2003,
the Company repaid approximately $2.7 million of long-term debt, the
same as the amount repaid for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

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 industrial development bonds, which matures on June 1, 2006.
Borrowings under the working capital revolving loan accrue interest at a
rate (the weighted average of which was 3.14% at September 26, 2002)
determined pursuant to a formula based on the agent bank's quoted rate
and the Eurodollar Interbank rate. As of September 26, 2002, the Company
had approximately $49.6 million of available credit under the Bank
Credit Facility.

As of September 26, 2002, the total principal amount outstanding under
the Long-Term Financing Facility was approximately $9.0 million of the
original amount borrowed of $35.0 million. Of the remaining balance of
approximately $9.0 million, approximately $5.2 bears interest at rates
ranging from 7.34% to 9.18% per annum payable quarterly, and requires
equal semi-annual principal installments of approximately $1.3 million,
with the final installment due on August 15, 2004.  The remaining
approximately $3.8 million of this indebtedness bears interest at a rate
of 9.16% per annum payable quarterly, and requires equal semi-annual
principal installments of approximately $0.5 million, with the final
installment due on May 15, 2006.

As of September 26, 2002, the total principal amount outstanding under
the Additional Long-Term Financing was approximately $19.3 million of
the original amount borrowed of $25.0 million. Of the remaining balance
of approximately $19.3 million, approximately $4.3 million bears
interest at a rate of 8.3% per annum payable semiannually, and requires
equal annual principal installments of approximately $1.4 million, with
the final installment due on September 1, 2005.  The remaining $15.0
million of this indebtedness (which is subordinated to the Company's
other financing facilities) bears interest at a rate of 9.38% per annum
payable semiannually, and requires equal annual principal installments
of $5.0 million, with the final installment due on September 1, 2005.

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 26,
2002, 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 adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", effective June 28, 2002.  SFAS 142
requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill
amortization.  In addition, SFAS 142 includes provisions for the
reclassification of certain existing recognized intangible assets as
goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized
intangible assets, reclassification of certain intangible assets out of
previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units
for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.
SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional impairment
test six months from the date of adoption, which will occur during the
Company's second quarter of fiscal 2003.  Any impairment loss resulting
from the transitional impairment test would be recorded as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle effective June 28, 2002.
Accordingly, the financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal
2003 would be restated for any such impairment loss. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of SFAS 142 on its financial position and
results of operations.  As required under SFAS 142, amortization of both
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives has been
discontinued.

SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", became
effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  This statement
requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period in which the liability is
incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The
associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset.  The implementation of SFAS 143
did not have an effect on the Company's cash flows, financial position
or results of operations.

SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", became effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  This
statement provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for
impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued
operations.  The implementation of SFAS 144 did not have an effect on
the Company's cash flows, financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities".  This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 will become effective in the
third quarter of fiscal 2003. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company's cash flows, financial
position or results of operations.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------
The statements contained in this filing that are not historical
(including statements concerning the Company's expectations regarding
market risk) are "forward looking statements".  These forward looking
statements, which generally are followed (and therefore identified) by a
cross reference to "Factors That May Affect Future Results" or are
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) 2002 Farm Bill
- ------------------
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (the "2002 Farm
Bill") terminated the federal peanut quota program beginning with the
2002 crop year. The 2002 Farm Bill replaces the federal peanut quota
program with a fixed, decoupled payment system through the 2011 crop
year.  Additionally, among other provisions, the Secretary of
Agriculture may make certain counter-cyclical payments whenever the
Secretary believes that the effective price for peanuts is less than the
target price.  The termination of the federal peanut quota program has
resulted in a decrease in the Company's cost for peanuts.  At this time,
it is uncertain the extent to which these cost savings will result in
lower selling prices.  Although the Company has successfully operated in
a market shaped by the federal peanut quota program for many years, the
Company believes that it will successfully adapt to a market without a
quota program.  However, the Company has no experience in operating in
such a peanut market, and no assurances can be given that the
elimination of the federal peanut quota program will not adversely
affect the Company's business.    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 the elimination
of the federal peanut quota program will not adversely affect the
Company's business.

(b)  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".

(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.



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.

Item 4 -- Controls and Procedures
- ---------------------------------
   (a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of filing this Form
10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the
Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the
Company's Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting
them to material information relating to the Company required to be
included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

   (b) There have been no significant changes in the Company's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its
evaluation.


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

Item 2 -- Changes in Securities
- -------------------------------
As described above under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial 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.
