PART I
------
Item 1 -- Description of Business
- ---------------------------------
a. General Development of Business
- ---------------------------------------
(i) Background
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the "Company" or "JBSS")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
1979 as the successor by merger to an Illinois corporation
that was incorporated in 1959. As used herein, unless the
context otherwise indicates, the terms "Company" or "JBSS"
refer collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., its
Illinois predecessor corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, including Sunshine Nut Co., Inc. ("Sunshine").
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to
Stockholders. On June 25, 1999 the Company dissolved two of
its three wholly owned subsidiaries, including Sunshine and
Quantz Acquisition Co., Inc., and merged such subsidiaries
into John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. On April 30, 1997 the
Company's Board of Directors voted to change the Company's
fiscal year from a calendar year end to a fiscal year that
ends on the final Thursday of June of each year. The Board
of Directors believes that the new fiscal year more closely
matches the Company's business cycle. References herein to
fiscal 1999 are to the fiscal year ended June 24, 1999.
References herein to fiscal 1998 are to the fiscal year
ended June 25, 1998. References herein to the "Transition
Period" are for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 1997.
References herein to fiscal 1996 are to the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996.
The Company is a processor, packager, marketer and
distributor of shelled and inshell nuts. These nuts are
sold under a variety of private labels and under the
Company's Evon's, Fisher, Flavor Tree, Sunshine Country,
Texas Pride and Tom Scott brand names. The Company also
markets and distributes, and in most cases manufactures or
processes, a diverse product line of food and snack items,
including peanut butter, candy and confections, natural
snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, corn snacks, sesame
sticks and other sesame snack products.
The Company's headquarters and executive offices are located
at 2299 Busse Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007 and
its telephone number for investor relations is
(847) 593-2300, extension 212.
b. Narrative Description of Business
- -----------------------------------------
(i) General
The Company is a processor, packager, marketer and
distributor of shelled and inshell nuts. The Company also
markets and distributes, and, in most cases, manufactures or
processes, a diverse product line of food and snack items
including peanut butter, candy and confections, natural
snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, corn snacks, sesame
sticks and other sesame snack products.
(ii) Principal Products
(A) Raw and Processed Nuts
The Company's principal products are raw and processed nuts.
These products accounted for approximately 84.5%, 85.9%,
85.6% and 83.8% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal
1999, fiscal 1998, the Transition Period and fiscal 1996,
respectively. The nut product line includes peanuts,
almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, pistachios, filberts, cashews,
English walnuts, black walnuts, pine nuts and macadamia
nuts. The Company's nut products are sold in numerous
package styles and sizes, from poly-cellophane packages,
composite cans, vacuum packed tins, plastic jars and glass
jars for retail sales, to large cases and sacks for bulk
sales to industrial, food service and government customers.
In addition, the Company offers its nut products in a
variety of different styles and seasonings, including
natural (with skins), blanched (without skins), oil roasted,
dry roasted, unsalted, honey roasted, butter toffee, praline
and cinnamon toasted. The Company sells its products
domestically to retailers and wholesalers as well as to
industrial, food service and government customers. The
Company also sells certain of its products to foreign
customers in the retail, food service and industrial
markets.
The Company acquires a substantial portion of its peanut,
pecan, almond and walnut requirements directly from growers.
The balance of the Company's raw nut supply is purchased
from importers and domestic processors. In fiscal 1999, the
majority of the Company's peanuts, pecans and walnuts were
shelled by the Company at its four shelling facilities while
the remainder were purchased shelled from processors and
growers. See "Raw Materials and Supplies", below, and Item
2 -- "Properties -- Manufacturing Capability, Technology and
Engineering."
(B) Peanut Butter
The Company manufactures and markets peanut butter in
several sizes and varieties, including creamy, crunchy and
natural. Peanut butter accounted for approximately 4.4%,
4.3%, 4.9% and 5.3% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal
1999, fiscal 1998, the Transition Period and fiscal 1996,
respectively. Approximately 2.3%, 2.3% and 4.9% of the
Company's peanut butter products were sold during fiscal
1999, fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1996, respectively, to the
United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") and other
government agencies, with the remaining percentage sold
under private labels. The Company did not sell peanut butter
to any government agency during the Transition Period.
(C) Candy and Confections
The Company markets and distributes a wide assortment of
candy and confections, including such items as wrapped hard
candy, gummies, ju-ju's, brand name candies, chocolate
peanut butter cups, peanut clusters, pecan patties and
sugarless candies. Candy and confections accounted for
approximately 2.8%, 3.8%, 4.4% and 4.6% of the Company's
gross sales for fiscal 1999, fiscal 1998, the Transition
Period and fiscal 1996, respectively. Most of these
products are purchased from various candy manufacturers and
sold to retailers in bulk or retail packages under private
labels or the Evon's brand.
(D) Other Products
The Company also markets and distributes, and in many cases
processes and manufactures, a wide assortment of other food
and snack products. These products accounted for
approximately 8.3%, 6.0%, 5.1% and 6.3% of the Company's
gross sales for fiscal 1999, fiscal 1998, the Transition
Period and fiscal 1996, respectively. These other products
include: natural snacks, trail mixes and chocolate and
yogurt coated products sold to retailers and wholesalers;
baking ingredients (including chocolate chips, peanut butter
chips, flaked coconut and chopped, diced, crushed and sliced
nuts) sold to retailers, wholesalers, industrial and food
service customers; bulk food products sold to retail and
food service customers; an assortment of corn snacks,
sunflower seeds, party mixes, sesame sticks and other sesame
snack products sold to retail supermarkets, vending
companies, mass merchandisers and industrial customers; and
a wide variety of toppings for ice cream and yogurt sold to
food service customers.
(iii) Customers
The Company sells its products to approximately 10,900
retail, wholesale, industrial, government and food service
customers on a national level. Retailers of the Company's
products include grocery chains, mass merchandisers and
membership clubs. The Company markets many of its Evon's
brand products directly to approximately 3,500 retail stores
in Illinois and nine other states through its store-door
delivery system discussed below. Wholesale grocery
companies purchase products from the Company for resale to
regional retail grocery chains and convenience stores.
The Company's industrial customers include bakeries, ice
cream and candy manufacturers and other food and snack
processors. The Company's principal government customers
are the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service
of the USDA and the Defense Personnel Support Center. Food
service customers include hospitals, schools, universities,
airlines, retail and wholesale restaurant businesses and
national food service franchises. In addition, the Company
packages and distributes products manufactured or processed
by others. Sales to Preferred Products, Inc. accounted for
approximately $34.8 million, or 11.7%, of the Company's
gross sales for fiscal 1996. No single customer accounted
for more than 10% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal
1999, fiscal 1998 or for the Transition Period.
(iv) Sales, Marketing and Distribution
The Company markets its products through its own sales
department and through a network of over 215 independent
brokers and various independent distributors and suppliers.
The Company's sales department of 46 employees includes 14
regional managers, 7 sales specialists and 5 telemarketers.
The Company's marketing and promotional campaigns include
regional and national trade shows and limited newspaper
advertisements, including coupons, done from time to time in
cooperation with certain of the Company's retail customers.
In addition to consumer marketing, the Company has
developed a number of cross promotions with other consumer
product companies, such as Mardi Gras napkins, Land O' Lakes
and 7-Up. These programs were designed to bring new users
and increased consumption in the snack nut category. The
Company also designs and manufactures point of purchase
displays and bulk food dispensers for use by certain of its
retail customers. These displays, and other shelving and
pegboard displays purchased by the Company, are installed by
Company personnel. The Company believes that controlling
the type, style and format of display fixtures benefits the
customer and ultimately the Company by presenting the
Company's products in a consistent, attractive point of sale
presentation.
The Company distributes its products from its Illinois,
Georgia, California, North Carolina and Texas production
facilities and from public warehouse and distribution
facilities located in various other states. The majority of
the Company's products are shipped from the Company's
production, warehouse and distribution facilities by
contract and common carriers.
In Illinois and nine other states, JBSS distributes its
Evon's brand products to approximately 3,500 convenience
stores, supermarkets and other retail customer locations
through its store-door delivery system. Under this system,
JBSS uses its own fleet of Evon's step-vans to market and
distribute Evon's brand nuts, snacks and candy directly to
retail customers on a store-by-store basis. Presently, the
store-door delivery system consists of approximately 52
route salespeople covering routes located in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan,
Kentucky, North Dakota and Missouri. District and regional
route managers, as well as sales and marketing personnel
operating out of JBSS's corporate offices, are responsible
for monitoring and managing the route salespeople.
In the Chicago area, JBSS operates two thrift stores at its
production facilities and five other retail stores. These
stores sell bulk foods and other products produced by JBSS
and other vendors.
(v) Competition
Snack food markets are highly competitive. The Company's
nuts and other snack food products compete against products
manufactured and sold by numerous other companies in the
snack food industry, some of which are substantially larger
and have greater resources than the Company. In the nut
industry, the Company competes with, among others, Planters
Lifesavers Company (a subsidiary of RJR Nabisco, Inc.),
Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. and numerous regional snack food
processors. Competitive factors in the Company's markets
include price, product quality, customer service, breadth of
product line, brand name awareness, method of distribution
and sales promotion. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Factors That May Affect Future Results -- Competitive
Environment" contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report
to Stockholders.
(vi) Raw Materials and Supplies
The Company purchases nuts from domestic and foreign
sources. Most of the Company's peanuts are purchased from
the southeastern United States and most of its walnuts and
almonds are purchased from California. The Company
purchases most of its pecans from the southern United States
and Mexico. Cashew nuts are imported from India, Africa,
Brazil and Southeast Asia. The availability of nuts is
subject to market conditions and crop size fluctuations
caused by weather conditions, plant diseases and other
factors beyond the Company's control. These fluctuations
can adversely impact the Company's profitability. For
fiscal 1999, less than 15% of the Company's nut purchases
were from foreign sources.
The Company generally purchases and shells peanuts, pecans
and walnuts instead of buying shelled nuts from shellers.
Due, in part, to the seasonal nature of the industry, the
Company maintains significant inventories of peanuts,
pecans, walnuts and almonds at certain times of the year,
especially in the second and third quarters of the Company's
fiscal year. Fluctuations in the market price of peanuts,
pecans, walnuts, almonds and other nuts may affect the value
of the Company's inventory and thus the Company's gross
profit and gross profit margin. See "General", "Fiscal 1999
compared to Fiscal 1998 -- Gross Profit", "Fiscal 1998
Compared to the Fifty-two Weeks Ended June 26, 1997 -- Gross
Profit" and "The Transition Period Compared to the Twenty-
six Weeks Ended June 27, 1996 -- Gross Profit", under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations", contained in the Company's 1999
Annual Report to Stockholders.
The Company purchases supplies, such as roasting oils,
seasonings, glass jars, plastic jars, labels, composite cans
and other packaging materials from third parties. The
Company sponsors a seed exchange program under which it
provides peanut seed to growers in return for a commitment
to repay the dollar value of that seed, plus interest, in
the form of farmer stock (i.e., peanuts at harvest).
Approximately 73% of the farmer stock peanuts purchased by
the Company in fiscal 1999 were grown from seed provided by
the Company. The Company also contracts for the growing of
a limited number of generations of peanut seeds to increase
seed quality and maintain desired genetic characteristics of
the peanut seed used in processing.
The availability and cost of raw materials for the
production of the Company's products, including peanuts,
pecans, walnuts, almonds, other nuts, dried fruit, coconut
and chocolate, 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 USDA or any 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. Furthermore, the supply of
peanuts is currently subject to federal regulation that
restricts peanut imports and the tonnage of peanuts farmers
may market domestically. See "Federal Regulation" below.
(vii) Trademarks
The Company markets its products primarily under private
labels and the Fisher, Evon's, Sunshine Country, Flavor
Tree, Texas Pride and Tom Scott brand names, which are
registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
(viii) Employees
As of June 24, 1999 the Company had approximately 1,430
active employees, including 173 corporate staff employees
and 1,257 production and distribution employees. As a
result of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the
number of employees peaked to approximately 1,692 in the
last four months of calendar 1998 and dropped to an average
of approximately 1,452 during the remainder of fiscal 1999.
Approximately 20 of the Company's salespeople are covered by
a collective bargaining agreement which expires on June 30,
2001.
(ix) Seasonality
The Company's business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and
other nut products is highest during the months of October,
November and December. Peanuts, pecans, walnuts and
almonds, the Company's principal raw materials, are
primarily purchased between August and February and are
processed throughout the year until the following harvest.
As a result of this seasonality, the Company's personnel,
working capital requirements and inventories peak during the
last four months of the calendar year. See Item 8 --
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data -- Quarterly
Consolidated Financial Data." See also "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations -- General", contained in the Company's 1999
Annual Report to Stockholders.
(x) Backlog
Because the time between order and shipment is usually less
than three weeks, the Company believes that backlog as of a
particular date is not indicative of annual sales.
(xi) Federal Regulation
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 1999 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 1999 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. Changes in the
federal peanut program could significantly affect the supply
of, and price for, peanuts. While 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 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.
(xii) Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks
The sale of food products for human consumption involves the
risk of injury to consumers as a result of product
contamination or spoilage, including the presence of foreign
objects, substances, chemicals, aflatoxin and other agents,
or residues introduced during the growing, storage, handling
or transportation phases. While the Company maintains rigid
quality control standards, inspects its products by visual
examination, metal detectors or electronic monitors at
various stages of its shelling and processing operations for
all of its nut and other food products, permits the USDA to
inspect all lots of peanuts shipped to and from the
Company's production facilities, and complies with the
Nutrition Labeling and Education Act by labeling each
product that it sells with labels that disclose the
nutritional value and content of each of the Company's
products, no assurance can be given that some nut or other
food products sold by the Company may not contain or develop
harmful substances. The Company currently maintains product
liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and
umbrella coverage up to $40 million which it and its
insurance carriers believe to be adequate.
Item 2 - Properties

(1) Approximately 240,000 square feet of the Busse Road
facility is leased from the Busse Land Trust under a lease
which expires on May 31, 2015. Under the terms of the
lease, the Company has a right of first refusal and a
right of first offer with respect to this portion of the
Busse Road facility. The remaining 60,000 square feet of
space at the Busse Road facility (the "Addition") was
constructed by the Company in 1994 on property owned by
the Busse Land Trust and on property owned by the Company.
Accordingly, (i) the Company and the Busse Land Trust
entered into a ground lease with a term beginning January
1, 1995 pursuant to which the Company leases from the
Busse Land Trust the land on which a portion of the
Addition is situated (the "Busse Addition Property"), and
(ii) the Company, the Busse Land Trust and the sole
beneficiary of the Busse Land Trust entered into a party
wall agreement effective as of January 1, 1995, which sets
forth the respective rights and obligations of the Company
and the Busse Land Trust with respect to the common wall
which separates the existing Busse Road facility and the
Addition. The ground lease has a term which expires on
May 31, 2015 (the same date on which the Company's lease
for the Busse Road facility expires). The Company has an
option to extend the term of the ground lease for one
five-year term, an option to purchase the Busse Addition
Property at its then appraised fair market value at any
time during the term of the ground lease, and a right of
first refusal with respect to the Busse Addition Property.
See the Section entitled "Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Lease
Arrangements" contained in the Company's Proxy Statement
for the 1999 Annual Meeting.
(2) This facility was subject to a mortgage dated March
1989 securing a note in the original principal amount of
$1.8 million with a maturity date of May 1, 1999. The
Company paid its financial obligation on the maturity date.
(3) The Des Plaines facility is leased under a lease
which expires on October 31, 2010. The Des Plaines
facility is also subject to a mortgage securing a loan
from an unrelated third party lender to the related-party
lessor in the original principal amount of approximately
$1.6 million. The rights of the Company under the lease
are subject and subordinate to the rights of the lender.
Accordingly, a default by the lessor under the loan could
result in foreclosure on the facility and thereby
adversely affect the Company's leasehold interest. The
Company subleases approximately 29,000 square feet of
space at the Des Plaines facility to one related party
lessee. See the Section entitled "Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation -- Lease
Arrangements" contained in the Company's Proxy Statement
for the 1999 Annual Meeting.
(4) The Bainbridge facility is subject to a mortgage and
deed of trust securing approximately $7.6 million
(excluding accrued and unpaid interest) in industrial
development bonds. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources", contained
in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders.
(5) The Walnut, California facility is leased under a
lease which expires on July 31, 2001. The Company has one
renewal option under the lease to extend the lease term
until July 31, 2006.
(6) The Arlington Heights facility is subject to a
mortgage dated September 27, 1995 securing a loan of $2.5
million with a maturity date of October 1, 2015.
b. Manufacturing Capability, Technology and Engineering
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's principal production facilities are equipped
with modern processing and packaging machinery and
equipment. The physical structure and the layout of the
production line at the Busse Road facility were designed so
that peanuts and other nuts can be processed, jarred and
packed in cases for distribution on a completely automated
basis. The facility also has production lines for chocolate
chips, candies, peanut butter and other products processed
or packaged by the Company.
The Selma facility contains the Company's automated pecan
shelling and bulk packaging operation. The facility's pecan
shelling production lines currently have the capacity to
shell in excess of 60 million inshell pounds of pecans
annually. For fiscal 1999, the Company processed
approximately 37 million inshell pounds of pecans at the
Selma, Texas facility. The Selma facility currently
contains an almond processing line with the capacity to
process over 10 million pounds of almonds annually. For
fiscal 1999, the Selma facility processed approximately 3
million pounds of almonds.
The Bainbridge facility is located in the largest peanut
producing region in the United States. This facility takes
direct delivery of farmer stock peanuts and cleans, shells,
sizes, inspects, blanches, roasts and packages them for sale
to the Company's customers. The production line at the
Bainbridge facility is almost entirely automated and has the
capacity to shell approximately 120 million inshell pounds
of peanuts annually. During fiscal 1999, the Bainbridge
facility shelled approximately 76 million inshell pounds of
peanuts.
The Garysburg facility has the capacity to process
approximately 40 million inshell pounds of farmer stock
peanuts annually. For fiscal 1999, the Garysburg facility
processed approximately 26 million pounds of inshell
peanuts.
The Gustine facility, which was purchased in 1993, is used
for walnut shelling, processing and marketing operations.
This facility was expanded during 1994 to increase the
capacity to shell from approximately 12 million inshell
pounds of walnuts annually to approximately 35 million
inshell pounds of walnuts annually. For fiscal 1999, the
Gustine facility shelled approximately 23 million inshell
pounds of walnuts.
The Arlington Heights facility is used for the production
and packaging the majority of its Fisher Nut products, the
"stand-up pouch" packaging for its Flavor Tree brand

Item 3 -- Legal Proceedings
- ---------------------------
The Company is party to various lawsuits, proceedings and
other matters arising out of the conduct of its business.
Currently, it is management's opinion that the ultimate
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect upon the business, financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.
A judgment was entered against the Company on November 19,
1998 in a lawsuit (the "Crane Litigation") filed by Bert S.
Crane, Nancy M. Crane, Bert A. Crane, Mary Crane Couchman
and Karen Crane (collectively, the "Crane Plaintiffs").
The judgment entitled the Crane Plaintiffs to recover from
the Company $540,000, plus statutory late payment penalties,
attorneys' fees and cost. On February 8, 1999, the Crane
Plaintiffs filed certain post-judgement motions requesting,
among other things, that the court (i) amend the total
judgment (exclusive of fees and costs) to reflect that the
total amount owed, inclusive of the late payment penalties,
was $726,179 as of November 19, 1998, and (ii) set the total
fees and expenses owed by the Company pursuant to the
judgement at $260,284. On March 24, 1999 the court granted
the motions filed by the Crane Plaintiffs. The lawsuit was
subsequently agreed to be settled. See "Fiscal 1999 Compared
to Fiscal 1998 -- Selling and Administrative Expenses" under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report to stockholders.
Item 4 -- Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
