PART I
ITEM 1. -- BUSINESS
Golden Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") is a holding company which owns
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden Flake Snack Foods,
Inc., a wholly-owned operating subsidiary company ("Golden Flake"). Golden
Enterprises is paid a fee by Golden Flake for providing management services for
it.
The Company was originally organized under the laws of the State of Alabama
as Magic City Food Products, Inc. on June 11, 1946. On March 11, 1958, it
adopted the name Golden Flake, Inc. On June 15, 1963, the Company purchased
Don's Foods, Inc. a Tennessee corporation which was merged into the Company on
December 10, 1966. The Company was reorganized December 31, 1967 as a Delaware
corporation without changing any of its assets, liabilities or business. On
January 1, 1977, the Company, which had been engaged in the business of
manufacturing and distributing potato chips, fried pork skins, cheese curls and
other snack foods, spun off its operating division into a separate Delaware
corporation known as Golden Flake Snack Foods, Inc. and adopted its present name
of Golden Enterprises, Inc.
The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Golden
Flake Snack Foods, Inc.
Golden Flake Snack Foods, Inc.
General
Golden Flake Snack Foods, Inc. ("Golden Flake") is a Delaware corporation
with its principal place of business and home office located at One Golden Flake
Drive, Birmingham, Alabama. Golden Flake manufactures and distributes a full
line of salted snack items, such as potato chips, tortilla chips, corn chips,
fried pork skins, baked and fried cheese curls, onion rings and buttered
popcorn. These products are all packaged in flexible bags or other suitable
wrapping material. Golden Flake also sells a line of cakes and cookie items,
canned dips, pretzel, peanut butter crackers, cheese crackers, dried meat
products and nuts packaged by other manufacturers using the Golden Flake label.
No single product or product line accounts for more than 50% of Golden Flake's
sales, which affords some protection against loss of volume due to a crop
failure of major agricultural raw materials.
Raw Materials
Golden Flake purchases raw materials used in manufacturing and processing
its snack food products on the open market and under contract through brokers
and directly from growers. A large part of the raw materials used by Golden
Flake consists of farm commodities which are subject to precipitous change in
supply and price. Weather varies from season to season and directly affects both
the quality and supply available. Golden Flake has no control of the
agricultural aspects and its profits are affected accordingly.
Distribution
Golden Flake sells its products through its own sales organization and
independent distributors to commercial establishments which sell food products
in Alabama and in parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,
Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arkansas and Missouri. The products
are distributed by approximated 433 route salesmen who are supplied with selling
inventory by the Company's trucking fleet which operates out of Birmingham,
Alabama, Nashville, Tennessee, and Ocala, Florida. All of the route salesmen are
employees of Golden Flake and use the direct store door delivery method. Golden
Flake is not dependent upon any single customer, or a few customers, the loss of
any one or more of which would have a material adverse effect on its business.
No single customer accounts for more than 10% of its total sales. Golden Flake
has a fleet of 835 company owned vehicles to support the route sales system,
including 37 tractors and 96 trailers for long haul delivery to the various
company warehouses located throughout its distribution areas, 644 store delivery
vehicles and 58 cars and miscellaneous vehicles. Golden Flake also leases 20
store delivery vehicles.
3
Competition
The snack foods business is highly competitive. In the area in which Golden
Flake operates, many companies engage in the production and distribution of food
products similar to those produced and sold by Golden Flake. Most, if not all,
of Golden Flake's products are in direct competition with similar products of
several local and regional companies and at least one national company, the
Frito Lay Division of Pepsi Co., Inc., which is larger in terms of capital and
sales volume than is Golden Flake. Golden Flake is unable to state its relative
position in the industry. Golden Flake's marketing thrust is aimed at selling
the highest quality product possible and giving good service to its customers,
while being competitive with its prices. Golden Flake constantly tests the
quality of its products for comparison with other similar products of
competitors and maintains tight quality controls over its products.
Employees
Golden Flake employs approximately 1,100 employees. Approximately 650
employees are involved in route sales and sales supervision, approximately 350
are in production and production supervision, and approximately 100 are
management and administrative personnel.
Golden Flake believes that the performance and loyalty of its employees are
the most important factors in the growth and profitability of its business.
Since labor costs represent a significant portion of Golden Flake's expenses,
employee productivity is important to profitability. Golden Flake considers its
relations with its employees to be excellent.
Golden Flake has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan designed to reward the long term employee for his loyalty. In
addition, the employees are provided medical insurance, life insurance, and an
accident and sickness salary continuance plan. Golden Flake believes that its
employee wage rates are competitive with those of its industry and with
prevailing rates in its area of operations.
Other Matters
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports, are available
via the Company's website. The website address is www.goldenflake.com. All
required reports are made available on the website as soon as reasonably
practicable after they are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Environmental Matters
There have been no material effects of compliance with government
provisions regulating discharge of materials into the environment.
Recent Developments
No significant changes have occurred in the kinds of products manufactured
or in the markets of methods of distribution, and no material changes or
developments have occurred in the business done and intended to be done by
Golden Flake.

ITEM 7.-- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GOLDEN ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion gives an assessment of the Company's financial condition,
liquidity and capital resources and results of operations. It should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes.
OVERVIEW
The Company manufactures and distributes a full line of snack items, such
as potato chips, tortilla chips, corn chips, fried pork skins, baked and fried
cheese curls, onion rings and buttered popcorn. The products are all packaged in
flexible bags or other suitable wrapping material. The Company also sells a line
of cakes and cookie items, canned dips, pretzels, peanut butter crackers, cheese
crackers, dried meat products and nuts packaged by other manufacturers using the
Golden Flake label.
No single product or product line accounts for more than 50% of the
Company's sales, which affords some protection against loss of volume due to a
crop failure of major agricultural raw materials. Raw materials used in
manufacturing and processing the Company's snack food products are purchased on
the open market and under contract through brokers and directly from growers. A
large part of the raw materials used by the Company consists of farm commodities
which are subject to precipitous changes in supply and price. Weather varies
from season to season and directly affects both the quality and supply
available. The Company has no control of the agricultural aspects and its
profits are affected accordingly.
The Company sells its products through its own sales organization and
independent distributors to commercial establishments that sell food products
primarily in the Southeastern United States. The products are distributed by
approximately 433 route representatives who are supplied with selling inventory
by the Company's trucking fleet. All of the route representatives are employees
of the Company and use the Company's direct-store delivery system.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and
results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial
statements, the preparation of which in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect amounts reported
in the consolidated financial statements. In preparing these financial
statements, management has made its best estimates and judgements of certain
amounts included in the financial statements, giving due considerations to
materiality. The Company does not believe there is a great likelihood that
materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or
using different assumptions related to the accounting policies described below.
However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of
judgement and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result,
actual results could differ from these estimates.
9
The Company believes the following to be critical accounting policies. That
is, they are both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and results and they require management to make judgements and
estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales and related costs upon delivery or shipment of
products to its customers. Sales are reduced by returns and allowances to
customers.
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on
Issue No. 01-09 Accounting for Consideration given by a Vendor to a Customer
(Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products) effective for annual or interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2001. The issue addresses the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification for certain sales incentives.
The Company implemented this new accounting policy in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2002. The effect of this accounting change is to adopt this policy as of
the beginning of the fiscal 2002 (June 1, 2001). Certain of these expenses,
including slotting fees, previously classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses, are now characterized as offsets to net sales.
Reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform
to current year presentation. Total vendor sales incentives now characterized as
reductions of net sales that previously would have been classified as selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately $12.8 million, $11.7
million and $12.9 million for the years ended 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
There was no resulting impact on net operating results from adopting EITF 01-09.
Change in Accounting Policy
The Company changed its accounting policy in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002 with regard to slotting fees. The effect of this accounting change was to
adopt this policy as of the beginning of fiscal 2002 (June 1, 2001). Previously,
slotting fees were expensed as incurred. The Company changed this accounting
policy to capitalize and amortize such costs over the expected benefit period,
which is generally one year. This change in accounting policy was made to more
closely match the cost of the shelf space obtained with the slotting fees with
the revenues produced by the shelf space. The cumulative effect of this change
in accounting policy resulted in a non-cash cumulative adjustment of $413,401
($0.03 per share), net of taxes. The accounting change also increased net income
before the cumulative effect in 2002 by $197,141 ($0.02 per share). Quarterly
results for 2002 reflecting this change in accounting are included in Note 15,
Quarterly Results of Operations.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable at the time revenue is recognized.
Amounts for bad debt expense are recorded in selling, general and administrative
expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimate of the
accounts receivable amount that is uncollectible. Management records a general
reserve based on analysis of historical data. In addition, management records
specific reserves for receivable balances that are considered high-risk due 10
to known facts regarding the customer. The allowance for bad debts is reviewed
quarterly, and it is determined whether the amount should be changed. Failure of
a major customer to pay the Company amounts owed could have a material impact on
the financial statements of the Company. At May 31, 2003 and 2002 the Company
had accounts receivables in the amount of $7.9 million and $9.8 million, net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.
10
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on
the first-in, first out method.
Accrued Expenses
Management estimates certain material expenses in an effort to record those
expenses in the period incurred. The most material accrued estimates relate to a
salary continuation plan for certain key executives of the Company, and to
insurance-related expenses, including self-insurance. Workers' compensation and
general liability insurance accruals are recorded based on insurance claims
processed as well as historical claims experience for claims incurred, but not
yet reported. These estimates are based on historical loss development factors.
Employee medical insurance accruals are recorded based on medical claims
processed as well as historical medical claims experienced for claims incurred
but not yet reported. Differences in estimates and assumption could result in an
accrual requirement materially different from the calculated accrual.
OTHER MATTERS
Transactions with related parties, reported in Note 13 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, are conducted on an arm's-length basis in the
ordinary course of business.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital was $10.6 million at May 31, 2003 compared to $13.4 million
at May 31, 2002. Net cash provided by operations amounted to $4.6 million in
fiscal year 2003, $1.9 million in fiscal year 2002 and $0.05 million in fiscal
year 2001. The increase in net cash provided by operations is primarily related
to decreases in receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses and an increase in
accrued expenses offset by the net loss for fiscal year 2003 of $1.4 million
compared to the net income for fiscal year 2002 of $3.0 million.
Additions to property, plant and equipment, net of disposals were $0.3
million, $3.8 million and $1.3 million in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and are expected to be about $1.7 million in 2004.
Cash dividends of $2.2 million, $3.0 million and $3.0 million were paid
during fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The quarterly dividend
was reduced to $.03125 from $.0625 in the third quarter in response to a
decrease in earnings.
No cash was used to purchase treasury shares in fiscal 2003, $0.2 million
was used in 2002, and $0.5 million was used for this purpose in 2001.
11
During fiscal 2003, the company re-paid debt, net of borrowings, of $1.6
million.
The following table summarizes the significant contractual obligations of
the Company as of May 31, 2003:

========== ========== ========== ========== ==========
Other Commitments
The Company had letters of credit in the amount of $1,790,000 outstanding
at May 31, 2003 to support the Company's commercial self-insurance program.
The Company has a line-of-credit agreement with a local bank that permits
borrowing up to $1 million. The line-of-credit is subject to the Company's
continued credit worthiness and compliance with the terms and conditions of the
advance application.
Long-term liabilities as a percentage of total capitalization was 12.6% at
May 31, 2003. The Company's current ratio at year end was 2.75 to l.00.
Available cash, cash from operations and available credit under the line of
credit are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash expenditures and
normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future.
OPERATING RESULTS
Net sales decreased by 7.8% in fiscal year 2003, increased by 1.7% in
fiscal year 2002, and decreased by 8.8% in fiscal year 2001. The decrease in
fiscal 2003 was due to a general sales weakness in the U.S. salty snacks
category, particularly during the first part of the fiscal year. The increase in
fiscal 2002 was primarily due to less promotional payments to vendors that were
subtracted from sales as required by EITF 01-9. The sales decrease for fiscal
2001 was primarily a result of discontinuing the Company-operated distribution
of Golden Flake Branded products in three fringe sales regions in Central
Florida as part of the fiscal year 2000 restructuring plan.
12
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales amounted to 53.1% in 2003, 51.9%
in 2002, and 52.2% in 2001. The percentage increase in cost of sales for fiscal
2003 was caused by the lower sales volume and higher commodity prices and energy
cost. The cost decrease in 2002 was due primarily to lower energy costs, while
the higher cost in 2001 was attributed to higher energy prices.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 49.8% of net sales in
2003, 45.1% in 2002, and 45.0% in 2001. The higher percentage cost for fiscal
2003 is attributed to significant increases in employee medical, worker's
compensation, general and auto liability insurance costs, and energy costs. The
more favorable cost percentages for fiscal 2002 and 2001 were primarily due to
lower selling and delivery cost brought about by the exiting of the fringe sales
regions in Central Florida as part of the fiscal 2000 restructuring plan.
The Company's effective tax rates for 2003, 2002, and 2001 were (37.0%),
38.8% and 34.3%, respectively. Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
provides additional information about the provision for income taxes.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT
The Company entered into a five-year term product purchase agreement during
the year ending May 31, 2001 with a supplier. Under the terms of the agreement
the minimum purchase quantity and the purchase price were fixed resulting in a
minimum first year commitment of approximately $2,171,000. After the first year,
the minimum purchase quantity was fixed and the purchase unit price was
negotiable based on the current market. The purchase product agreement as
subsequently amended is described in more detail in Note 13 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
MARKET RISK
The principal market risks (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest
rates on its cash equivalents, investment securities and bank loans, and
commodity prices affecting the cost of its raw materials.
The Company's cash equivalents consist of short-term marketable securities.
Presently these are variable rate money market funds. Its bank loans also carry
variable rates. Assuming year end 2003 variable rate investment levels and bank
loan balances, a one-point change in interest rates would impact interest income
by $10,159 and interest expense by $24,229.
The Company is subject to market risk with respect to commodities because
its ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by
the competitive environment in which it operates. The Company purchases its raw
materials on the open market, under contract through brokers and directly from
growers. Futures contracts have been used occasionally to hedge immaterial
amounts of commodity purchases, but none are presently being used.
INFLATION
Certain costs and expenses of the Company are affected by inflation, and
the Company's prices for its products over the past several years have remained
relatively flat. The Company will contend with the effect of further inflation
through efficient purchasing, improved manufacturing methods, pricing, and by
monitoring and controlling expenses.
13
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
There have been no material effects of compliance with governmental
provisions regulating discharge of materials into the environment.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results
could differ materially from those forward-looking statements. Factors that may
cause actual results to differ materially include price competition, industry
consolidation, raw material costs and effectiveness of sales and marketing
activities, as described in the Company's filings with Securities and Exchange
Commission.
RECENT ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead, subjected to impairment testing. Intangible assets with finite lives
will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 requires an
initial goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment assessment in
the year of adoption and annual impairment testing thereafter based on fair
value. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets to be held and used, to be disposed of other than by sale and to be
disposed of by sale. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Cost Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Costs covered by
SFAS No. 146 includes lease termination costs and certain employee severance
costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant
closing or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit
or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Management does not
believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123."
SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has adopted 14 the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 effective May 31, 2003, in its
consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to account for
stock-based compensation using the methods detailed in the stock-based
compensation accounting policy as described earlier.
14
In November, 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to
include disclosure of certain obligations and, if applicable, at the inception
of the guarantee, to recognize a liability for the fair value of other certain
obligations undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The recognition requirement is
effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not
have material impact on the Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51."
FIN No. 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not
have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46 is
effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to
February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim
or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect FIN
No. 46 to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors of
Golden Enterprises, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Golden
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary as of May 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2003. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed at Item 16(a)2. These
consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Golden
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary as of May 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended May 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our
opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective June 1, 2001 the
Company changed its accounting policy with respect to slotting fees.

The accounting and reporting policies of Golden Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary
(Company) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and to general principles within the snack foods industry. The
following is a description of the more significant accounting policies:
Nature of the Business
The Company manufactures and distributes a full line of snack items that are
sold through its own sales organization and independent distributors to
commercial establishments that sell food products primarily in the Southeastern
United States.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Golden
Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Flake Snack Foods,
Inc., (the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales and related costs upon delivery or shipment of
products to its customers. Sales are reduced by returns and allowances to
customers.
Revenue Classification Changes
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue
No. 01-09 Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer
(Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products) effective for annual or interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2001. The issue addresses the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification for certain sales incentives.
The Company implemented this new accounting policy in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2002. The effect of this accounting change is to adopt this policy as of
the beginning of the fiscal 2002 (June 1, 2001). Certain of these expenses,
including slotting fees, previously classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses, are now characterized as offsets to net sales.
Reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform
to current year presentation. Total vendor sales incentives now characterized as
reductions of net sales that previously would have been classified as selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately $12.8 million, $11.7
million and $12.9 million for the years ended 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
There was no resulting impact on net operating results from adopting EITF 01-09.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on the
first-in, first-out method.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONTINUED
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. For financial reporting
purposes, depreciation and amortization have been provided principally on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred;
expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and written off by
depreciation and amortization charges. Property retired or sold is removed from
the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts and any profit or loss
resulting therefrom is reflected in the statements of operations.
Self-Insurance
The Company is self-insured for certain losses relating to automobile liability,
general liability, workers' compensation and property losses. The Company has
stop loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from these claims.
Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued
based upon management's estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured
claims incurred. These reserves are necessarily based on estimates; thus actual
results may differ. The Company is insured for losses in excess of $100,000,
$50,000, $250,000 and $100,000 per occurrence for automobile liability, general
liability, workers' compensation and property losses, respectively.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. These costs are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Advertising expense amounted to $5,031,409, $4,371,719 and
$5,739,488 for the fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded on the differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are reported in the
consolidated financial statements. Recorded amounts are adjusted to reflect
changes in income tax rates and other tax law provisions as they become enacted.
Segment Information
The Company does not identify separate operating segments for management
reporting purposes. The results of operations are the basis on which management
evaluates operations and makes business decisions. The Company's sales are
generated primarily within the Southeastern United States.
Stock Options
The Company applies APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees",
and related interpretations in accounting for all stock option plans. No
stock-based compensation cost has been recognized in operations for stock
options granted because the option exercise price was equal to or more than the
market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as amended by SFAS No.
148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure,
requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income
(loss) as if the compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been
determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No.
123. To provide the required pro forma information, the Company estimates the
fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs, which include salaries and vehicle operations
expenses relating to the delivery of products to customers by the Company are
classified as Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses. Shipping and
handling costs classified as SG&A amounted to $2.3 million, $2.5 million and
$2.4 million for the fiscal year 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", which requires that goodwill and intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead, subjected to
impairment testing. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be
amoritzed over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 requires an initial goodwill and
indefinite life intangible asset impairment assessment in the year of adoption
and annual impairment testing thereafter based on fair value. The adoption of
SFAS No. 142 did not have a material impact on the Company's Financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONTINUED
Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets to
be held and used, to be disposed of other than by sale and to be disposed of by
sale. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Cost Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No 146 requires companies to recognize costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than
at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Costs covered by SFAS
No. 146 includes lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs
that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant closing
or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Management does not
believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company
has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 effective May 31, 2003
in its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to account
for stock-based compensation using the methods detailed in the stock-based
compensation accounting policy as described earlier.
In November, 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to
include disclosure of certain obligations and, if applicable, at the inception
of the guarantee, to recognize a liability for the fair value of other certain
obligations undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The recognition requirement is
effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not
have a material impact on the Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51."
FIN No. 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not
have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46 is
effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to
February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim
or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect FIN
No. 46 to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain items included in prior years' consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Company changed its accounting policy in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002
with regard to slotting fees. The effect of this accounting change was to adopt
this policy as of the beginning of fiscal 2002 (June 1, 2001). Previously,
slotting fees were expensed as incurred. The Company changed this accounting
policy to capitalize and amortize such costs over the expected benefit period,
which is generally one year. This change in accounting policy was made to more
closely match the cost of the shelf space obtained with the slotting fees with
the revenues produced by the shelf space. The cumulative effect of this change
in accounting policy resulted in a noncash cumulative adjustment of $413,401
($0.03 per share), net of taxes. The accounting change also increased net income
before the cumulative effect in 2002 by $197,141 ($0.02 per share). Quarterly
results for 2002 reflecting this change in accounting are included in Note 15,
Quarterly Results of Operations.

Under this provision, employees can contribute up to fifteen percent of their
compensation to the plan on a pretax basis subject to regulatory limits; and the
Company, at its discretion, can match up to 4 percent of the participants'
compensation. The annual contributions to the plans are determined by the Board
of Directors. Total plan expenses for the years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001 were $231,332, $177,405, and $181,055, respectively.

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan that covers all full-time
employees. The annual contributions to the plan are amounts determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company. Annual contributions are made in cash or
common stock of the Company. The Employee Stock Ownership Plan expenses for the
years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $-0-. Each participant's account is
credited with an allocation of shares acquired with the Company's annual
contributions, dividends received on ESOP shares and forfeitures of terminated
participants' nonvested accounts.
The Company has a Salary Continuation Plan with certain of its key officers
whereby monthly benefits will be paid for a period of fifteen years following
retirement. The Company is accruing the present value of such retirement
benefits until the key officers reach normal retirement age at which time the

NOTE 10 - LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company has a long-term incentive plan currently in effect under which
future stock option grants may be issued. This Plan (the 1996 Plan) is
administered by the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors, which has
sole discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, to determine those employees,
including executive officers, eligible to receive awards and the amount and type
of such awards. The Stock Option Committee also has the authority to interpret
the Plan, formulate the terms and conditions of award agreements and make all
other determinations required in the administration thereof. All options
outstanding at the end of the 2003, 2002, and 2001 are exercisable.
The Company had a stock option plan (the 1988 Plan) that expired July 6, 2002.
There were no stock options or stock appreciation rights outstanding under this
Plan at July 6, 2002, May 31, 2002 and 2001.
The 1996 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options as defined
under the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, grants may be made to selected
officers and employees, of incentive stock option with a term not exceeding ten
years from the issue date and at a price not less than the fair market value of
the Company's stock at the date of grant.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is presented
as if the Company had accounted for its employees stock options under the fair
value method. The per share weighted average fair value of the stock options
granted during fiscal 2002 was $.25. The fair value of these options was
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate 5.05
percent; dividend yield 6.56 percent; expected option life of 5 years; and
expected volatility of 15 percent. No options were granted during 2003 or 2001.
The Black-Scholes options pricing model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect an option's fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of it employee stock options.

NOTE 11 - NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing earnings available to
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects per share amounts that would
have resulted if dilutive potential common stock equivalents had been converted
to common stock, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Options to purchase 369,000 and 329,000 shares of
common stock at May 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively, were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price
were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore,
the effect would be antidulitive. No such antidulitive options were outstanding
at May 31, 2001. The following reconciles the information used to compute basic
and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 12 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the
balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. SFAS 107
defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments that are
actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are estimated using present value or other valuation
techniques. The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based
on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument,
such as estimates of timing and amount of expected future cash flows. Such
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized
gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value
because of the short maturity, generally less than three months, of these
instruments. The fair value of notes receivable is estimated by using a discount
rate that approximates the current rate for comparable notes. At May 31, 2003
and 2002 the aggregate fair value was approximately $2,507,357 and $2,208,839
compared to a carrying amount of $1,908,000 and $2,027,636, respectively.

NOTE 12 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -CONTINUED
The interest rate on the Company's bank debt is reset monthly to reflect the 30
day LIBOR rate. Consequently, the carrying value of the bank debt approximates
fair value.
The carrying value of the Company's salary continuation plan and
accrued liability approximates fair value because present value is used in
accruing this liability.
The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes
and has no involvement with forward currency exchange contracts.

NOTE 14 -CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The Company maintains deposit relationships with high credit quality financial
institutions. The Company's trade receivables result primarily from its snack
food operations and reflect a broad customer base, primarily large grocery store
chains located in the Southeastern United States. The Company routinely assesses
the financial strength of its customers. As a consequence, concentrations of
credit risk are limited.
The Company's notes receivable require collateral and buyer investment and
management believes they are well secured.

previously reported in the Company's 2002 10-Q's. The revised amounts reflect
the adoption of EITF 01-9, which requires reclassification of certain expenses.
The reclassification involves removing certain expenses from selling, general
and administrative expenses and including them as a direct reduction of
revenues. The adoption of EITF 01-9 does not affect net income. Quarterly net
income amounts for 2002 have been adjusted from amounts reported in the
Company's 10-Q's to reflect the change in accounting discussed in Note 2.
