ITEM 8. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the "Registrant") determined,
effective as of May 21, 1997, to change its fiscal year from that used
in its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission"). The fiscal year used by the Registrant in its most
recent filing with the Commission ends on December 31 of each year, with
the first three quarterly periods consisting of 13 weeks each and ending
on the last Thursday of each such period and the fourth fiscal quarter
(and year) ending on December 31 of each year. The Registrant's new fiscal
year will end on the last Thursday of each June and will consist of four
13 week quarters, with each of the first three quarters ending on the last
Thursday of each quarter and the fourth quarter (and year) ending on the
last Thursday in June. The Registrant will file an Annual Report on Form
10-K to cover the transition period that began on January 1, 1997 and will
end on June 26, 1997.
The Registrant's determination to change its fiscal year was made
pursuant to authority granted by its Board of Directors at the Board's
annual meeting on April 30, 1997. The grant of that authority, however,
was expressly subject to, and was only to become effective upon, receipt
by the Registrant of all necessary and required approvals for the change
in fiscal year from the Registrant's lenders. The Registrant received
the last of all such lender approvals as of May 21, 1997. The amendments
to the Registrant's financing agreements necessitated by the fiscal year
change are included as Exhibits to this report.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the

undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
