PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS General ------- Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. ("Cal-Maine" or the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1969. The Company's primary business is the production, cleaning, grading, and packaging of fresh shell eggs for sale to shell egg retailers. The Company is also engaged in the manufacturing and sale of egg products. Shell egg sales accounted for approximately 92% and egg products sales for approximately 6% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997. Currently, the Company is the largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States and during fiscal 1997, had sales of approximately 379 million dozen shell eggs. This volume represents approximately 7.5% of all shell eggs sold in the United States. The Company markets the majority of its eggs and egg products in 26 states, primarily in the Southwestern, Southeastern, Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. During the past nine years, the Company has pursued an aggressive growth strategy, including the acquisition of existing shell egg production and processing facilities, as well as the construction of new and more efficient facilities. See "Growth Strategy and Acquisitions" below. On December 11, 1996, the Company sold 1,400,000 shares of its Common Stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock"), at a price of $7.00 per share in an underwritten public offering. On December 30, 1996 and January 9, 1997, the Company sold 330,000 additional shares of Common Stock, at $7.00 per share, upon the exercise, in full, by the underwriter's of an overallotment option. The net proceeds of the offering to the Company, of $10.6 million, have added to working capital and will be used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 3320 Woodrow Wilson Avenue, Jackson, Mississippi 39209, and its telephone number is 601-948-6813. Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references herein to the Company or Cal-Maine include all subsidiaries of the Company. Growth Strategy and Acquisitions -------------------------------- During the past nine years the Company has pursued an aggressive growth strategy, including the acquisition of existing shell egg production and processing facilities, as well as the construction of new and more efficient facilities. Since the beginning of fiscal 1989, the Company has consummated seven acquisitions, adding an aggregate of 15.0 million layers to its capacity, and built four new in-line shell egg production and processing facilities and one pullet growing facility, adding 4.0 million layers and 950,000 pullets to its capacity. Each of the new shell egg production facilities generally provides for the processing of approximately 300 cases of shell eggs per hour. These increases in capacity have been accompanied by the retirement of older and less efficient facilities and a reduction in eggs produced by contract producers. The new "in-line" facilities result in the gathering, cleaning, grading and packaging of shell eggs by less labor-intensive, more efficient, mechanical means. As a result of the Company's growth strategy, the Company's total flock, including pullets, layers and breeders, has increased from approximately 6.8 million at May 28, 1988 to an average of approximately 17.7 million for each of the past five fiscal years. Also, there has been a three-fold increase in the number of dozens of shell eggs sold, from approximately 117 million in the fiscal year ended May 28, 1988 to an average of approximately 394 million for the past five fiscal years. Net sales amounted to $292.5 million in fiscal 1997, approximately four times net sales of $69.9 million in fiscal 1988. The Company's acquisitions and construction of larger facilities, described in the tables below, reflect the continuing concentration of shell egg production in the United States in a decreasing number of shell egg producers. The Company believes that a continuation of that concentration trend may result in the reduced cyclicality of shell egg prices, but no assurance can be given in that regard.

The Company proposes to continue a growth strategy calling for the acquisition of other companies engaged in the production and sale of shell eggs and egg products. Federal anti-trust laws require regulatory approval of acquisitions that exceed certain threshold levels of significance. Also, the Company is subject to federal and state laws generally prohibiting anti-competitive conduct. Because the shell egg production and distribution industry is so fragmented, the Company believes that its sales of shell eggs during its last fiscal year represented only approximately 7.5% of domestic egg sales notwithstanding that it is the largest producer and distributor of shell eggs in the United States based on independently prepared industry statistics. Accordingly, the Company believes that regulatory approval of any future acquisitions generally will not be required and, if required, that such approvals will be obtained. The construction of new, more efficient production and processing facilities is an integral part of the Company's growth strategy. Any such construction can be expected to require compliance with environmental laws and regulations, including the receipt of permits, that could cause schedule delays, although the Company has not experienced any significant delays in the past. Shell Eggs ---------- Production. The Company's operations are fully integrated. It owns facilities to hatch chicks, grow pullets, manufacture feed and produce, manufacture and distribute shell eggs and egg products. Company-owned facilities accounted for approximately 65% of its total fiscal 1997 egg production, with the balance attributable to contract producers used by the Company. Under Cal-Maines arrangements with its contract producers, the Company owns the entire flock, furnishes all feed and supplies, owns the shell eggs produced, and assumes all market risks. The contract producers own their facilities and are paid a fee based on production with incentives for performance. The commercial production of shell eggs requires a source of baby chicks to be used for laying flock replacement. The Company produces approximately 98% of its chicks in its own hatcheries and obtains the balance from commercial sources. Feed for the laying flocks is produced by Company-owned and operated mills located in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. All ingredients necessary for feed production are readily available in the open market and most are purchased centrally from Jackson, Mississippi. Approximately 95% of the feed for Company flocks is manufactured at feed mills owned and operated by the Company. Poultry feed is formulated using a computer model to determine the least-cost ration to meet the nutritional needs of the flocks. Although most feed ingredients are purchased on an as-needed basis, from time-to-time, when deemed advantageous, the Company purchases ingredients in advance with a delayed delivery of several weeks. Feed cost represents the largest element of the Company's farm egg production cost, ranging from 56% to 64% of total cost in the last five years, or an average of approximately 60%. Although feed ingredients are available from a number of sources, Cal-Maine has little, if any, control over the prices of the ingredients it purchases, which are affected by various demand and supply factors. Increases in feed costs not accompanied by increases in the selling price of eggs can have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company's operations. However, higher feed costs may encourage producers to reduce production, possibly resulting in higher egg prices. Alternatively, low feed costs can encourage industry overproduction, possibly resulting in lower egg prices. Historically, the Company has tended to have higher profit margins when feed costs are higher. However, this may not be the case in the future. After the eggs are produced, they are cleaned, graded and packaged. Substantially all of the Company- owned farms have modern in-line facilities that mechanically gather, clean, grade and package the eggs that are produced. The increased use of in-line facilities has generated significant cost savings as compared to the cost of eggs produced from non-in-line facilities. In addition to efficiency, the in-line facilities produce a higher percentage of grade A eggs, which sell at higher prices. Eggs produced on farms owned by contractors are brought to the Company's processing plants where they are cleaned, graded and packaged. Some eggs are sold unprocessed to other processors. The Company's egg production activities are subject to risks to which the agriculture industry, in general, is exposed. These include, among others, risks associated with weather conditions and disease factors that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. These risks are not within the Company's control and could have a material adverse effect on its operations. Also, the marketability of the Company's shell eggs and egg products is subject to risks such as possible changes in food consumption opinions and practices reflecting perceived health concerns. The Company operates in an industry which is cyclical, with total demand that is generally level and with a product which is price-inelastic. Thus, small increases in production or decreases in demand can have a large adverse effect on prices and vice-versa. However, economic conditions in the egg industry are expected to exhibit less cyclicality in the future. The industry is concentrating into fewer but stronger hands, which should help dampen the extreme cyclicality of the past. New practices, such as more efficient molting programs, should help contribute to profitability. Marketing. Of the approximately 379 million dozen shell eggs sold by the Company in the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997, 93% were cleaned, graded and packed in the Company's processing facilities and sold by the Company, 5% were used by the Company in its manufacture of egg products, and 2% were sold direct from the Company's farms to other shell egg users. Sales of shell eggs primarily are made to national and regional supermarket chains that buy direct from the Company. During fiscal 1997, Cal-Maines largest customer, H.E. Butt Grocery Company, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, accounted for 10.1% of net sales, and the top 10 customers accounted for slightly more than 50% of net sales in the aggregate. The majority of eggs sold are merchandised on a daily or short-term basis. Most sales to established accounts are on open account with terms ranging from seven to 30 days. Although the Company has established a long-term relationship with many of its customers, such customers are free to acquire shell eggs from other sources. The Company sells its shell eggs at prices generally related to independently quoted wholesale market prices. The prices of its shell eggs reflect fluctuations in the quoted market, and the results of the Company's shell egg operations are materially affected by changes in market quotations. Egg prices reflect a number of economic conditions, such as the supply of eggs and the level of demand, which, in turn, are influenced by a number of factors that the Company cannot control. No representation can be made as to the future level of prices, which are subject to wide fluctuations. Shell eggs are perishable. Consequently, the Company maintains very low shell egg inventories, usually consisting of approximately four days of production. Retail sales of shell eggs are greatest during the fall and winter months and lowest during the summer months. Prices for shell eggs fluctuate in response to seasonal demand factors and a natural increase in egg production during the spring and early summer. Consequently, the Company generally experiences lower sales and net income in its first and fourth fiscal quarters ending in August and May, respectively. The annual per capita consumption of shell eggs since 1990 has ranged from 234 to 239, averaging 236. While the Company believes that increased fast food restaurant consumption, reduced egg cholesterol levels and industry advertising campaigns may result in a continuance of, or possible increase in, current per capita egg consumption levels, no assurance can be given that per capita consumption will not decline in the future. The Company sells the majority of its shell eggs in approximately 26 states, ranging across the southwest, southeast, mid-west and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Cal-Maine is a major factor in egg marketing in a majority of these states. Many states in Cal-Maine's market area are egg deficit regions; that is, production of fresh shell eggs is less than total consumption. Competition from other producers in specific market areas is generally based on price, service and quality of product. Strong competitors of Cal-Maine exist in each of the Company's markets. Egg Products. Egg products produced by the Company include liquid egg whites, liquid egg yolks, liquid whole eggs, salt yolk, sugar yolk, and similar products sold in frozen form, and various forms of dried whole eggs, egg whites and yolks. The Company's production facility is located in Jackson, Mississippi. Sales are made primarily to national accounts which consist principally of manufacturers of baked goods, mayonnaise and confections. The Company manufactures and distributes egg products in liquid, frozen and dried forms and also processes egg products according to customer specifications for use in special baking and manufacturing applications. Egg products are sold on a direct basis to major institutional users or with the assistance of egg product brokers. Egg products accounted for approximately 6% of the Company's net sales in fiscal year 1997. Of the 25 million dozen of shell eggs used in the Company's egg products operations in the fiscal year 1997, approximately 70% were produced by the Company's flocks, and the balance was purchased by the Company from outside sources. Egg product sales are somewhat seasonal, with peak demands occurring prior to holiday seasons. The Company's plant is operated at its highest capacity during periods when egg prices are at their lowest. These periods normally do not coincide with the high demand periods for egg products. As a result, the Company's egg product inventories can be significant, requiring high working capital. The Company tends to build egg product inventories during periods of shell egg surpluses and reduce inventories when demand for shell eggs is stronger. Egg product inventories vary between two and four months of sales. Specialty Eggs. The Company also produces specialty eggs such as Egg*lands Best and Farmhouse eggs. Egg*lands Best eggs are patented eggs that are believed by its developers, based on scientific studies, to cause no increase in serum cholesterol when eaten as part of a low fat diet. Cal-Maine produces and processes Egg*lands Best eggs, under license from Egg*lands Best, Inc. ("EB"), at its existing facilities, under EB guidelines. The product is marketed to the Company's established base of customers at prices that reflect a premium over ordinary shell eggs. Egg*lands Best eggs accounted for less than 1% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997. Farmhouse brand eggs are produced at Company facilities by hens that are not caged, and are provided with a diet of natural grains and drinking water that is free of hormones or other chemical additives. Although Farmhouse eggs account for only a small part of net sales, they meet the demands of consumers who are sensitive to environmental and animal welfare issues. Livestock. The Company's livestock operations currently consist of the operation of a 1,440 head dairy facility, from which milk sales are made to a major milk processor. Milk and cattle sales were approximately 2% of the Company's net sales in fiscal year 1997. Competition. The production, processing and distribution of shell eggs is an intensely competitive business which, traditionally, has attracted large numbers of producers. Shell egg competition is generally based on price, service and quality of production. Although the Company is the largest combined producer, processor and distributor of shell eggs in the United States, it does not occupy a controlling market position in any area where its eggs are sold. The Company competes with approximately 50 other manufacturers of egg products. Egg Products competition is not limited by geographic boundaries and is predicated primarily on quality, price, product availability and terms of sale. The shell egg production and processing industry has been characterized by a growing concentration of production. In 1996, 61 producers with one million or more layers owned 75.2% of the 253.3 million total U.S. layers, compared with the 56 producers with one million or more layers owning 63.6% of the 231.9 million total U.S. layers in 1990, and 61 producers with one million or more layers owning 56.2% of the 248.0 million total U.S. layers in 1985. The Company believes that a continuation of that concentration trend may result in the reduced cyclicality of shell egg prices, but no assurance can be given in that regard. Patents and Tradenames. The Company does not own any patents or proprietary technologies, but does market products under tradenames including Rio Grande, Farmhouse and Sunups. Cal-Maine produces and processes Egglands*Best eggs, under license from EB, as indicated above. Government Regulation. The Company is subject to federal and state regulations relating to grading, quality control, labeling, sanitary control, and waste disposal. As a fully-integrated egg producer, the Company's shell egg facilities are subject to USDA and FDA regulation. The Company's shell egg facilities are subject to periodic USDA inspections, and its egg products plant is subject to continuous on-site USDA inspection. Cal-Maine maintains its own inspection program to assure compliance with the Company's own standards and customer specifications. Cal-Maine is subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations and has all necessary permits. Employees. As of May 31, 1997, the Company had a total of approximately 1,500 employees of whom 1,353 worked in egg production, processing and marketing, 66 were engaged in feed mill operations, 45 in dairy activities, and 36 were administrative employees, including officers, at the Company's executive offices. About 20% of the Company's personnel is part-time. None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its relations with employees to be good. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES - ------------------- The Company owns or leases farms, processing plants, hatcheries, feed mills, warehouses, offices and other property located in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, as follows: two breeding facilities, two hatcheries, 15 feed mills, 12 production facilities, 10 pullet growing facilities, 20 processing and packing facilities, two wholesale distribution facilities, one egg products plant and a dairy farm. Most of the Company's property is owned and encumbered. See Notes 6, 7 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company operates 226 over-the-road tractors and 259 trailers, of which 82 and 153 are owned, respectively, and the balance are leased. At May 31, 1997, the Company owned approximately 11,438 acres of land and owned facilities to: Operation Capacity --------- -------- Hatch 13,000,000- pullet chicks per year Grow (1) 5,865,000- pullets per year House (2) 12,000,000- hens Produce 542- tons of feed per hour Process (3) 4,865- cases of eggs per hour Break (3) 500- cases of eggs per hour Dry (4) 8,000- lbs. per hour liquid whites 5,500- lbs. per hour liquid whole eggs 5,500- lbs. per hour liquid yolk

(1) One case of large eggs yields approximately 40 lbs. of liquid egg or approximately 10 lbs. of dried egg. Over the past five fiscal years, Cal-Maine's capital expenditures have been approximately $92 million, including the acquisition of the operations of other businesses. The Company's facilities currently are maintained in good operable condition and are insured to an extent the Company deems adequate. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - -------------------------- The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS - ------------------------------------------------------------ No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter ended May 31, 1997. PART II. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS ------------------- The Company's Common Stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ National Market on December 11, 1996 under the symbol CALM. Prior thereto, there had been no public market for the Common Stock. The following table sets forth the high and low daily sale prices for the third quarter beginning December 11, 1996 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1997. Fiscal Year 1997 High Low ---------------- ---- --- Third Quarter $ 9 3/8 $ 6 5/8 Fourth Quarter 8 1/2 5
As of May 31, 1997, there were approximately 130 record holders of the Company's Common Stock and approximately 1,170 beneficial owners whose shares were held by nominees or broker dealers. On September 24, 1996, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to authorize capital stock consisting of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, each class having a par value of $0.01 per share, and to reclassify and change each previously outstanding share of Class A Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, and each previously outstanding share of Class B Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, into 1,200 shares each of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, respectively, each class with a par value of $0.01 per share. The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which reflects such authorized capital stock, was effective as of October 3, 1996. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to historical earnings per share, and number and class of shares outstanding, are as adjusted for the aforesaid recapitalization, reclassification and stock split of the Company's capital stock. There is no public trading market for the Class A Common Stock, all the outstanding shares of which are owned by Fred A. Adams, Jr., Chairman of the Board or Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Although the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock, the Board of Directors will consider the possible declaration of cash dividends in the future in the light of the Company's results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements for possible acquisitions and new construction, and other relevant economic factors. Under the terms of the Company's agreements with its principal lenders, Cal-Maine is subject to various financial covenants limiting its ability to pay dividends. The Company is required to maintain minimum levels of working capital and net worth, to limit capital expenditures, leasing transactions and additional long-term borrowings, and to maintain various current and cash-flow coverage ratios, among other restrictions. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to retain earnings for use in its business. ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW The Company is primarily engaged in the production, cleaning, grading, packing and sale of fresh shell eggs and in the manufacture and sale of egg products. The Company's fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to May 31. The Company's operations are fully integrated. It owns facilities to hatch chicks, grow pullets, manufacture feed, and produce, process, manufacture and distribute shell eggs and egg products. The Company currently is the largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States. Shell eggs account for over 90% of the Company's net sales. The Company primarily markets its shell eggs in the southwestern, southeastern, mid-western and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Shell eggs are sold directly by the Company primarily to national and regional supermarket chains. Egg products are sold both on a direct basis and through egg product brokers to institutional users, including manufacturers of baked goods, mayonnaise and confections. The Company currently uses contract producers for approximately 35% of its total egg production. Contract producers operate under agreements with the Company for the use of their facilities in the production of shell eggs by layers owned by the Company, which owns the eggs produced. Also, shell eggs are purchased, as needed, for resale by the Company from outside producers. The Company's operating income or loss is significantly affected by wholesale shell egg market prices, which can fluctuate widely and are outside of the Company's control. Retail sales of shell eggs are greatest during the fall and winter months and lowest during the summer months. Prices for shell eggs fluctuate in response to seasonal factors and a natural increase in egg production during the spring and early summer. The Company's cost of production is materially affected by feed costs, which average about 60% of Cal- Maine's total farm egg production cost. Changes in feed costs result in changes in the Company's cost of goods sold. The cost of feed ingredients is affected by a number of supply and demand factors such as crop production and weather, and other factors, such as the level of grain exports, over which the Company has little or no control. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income expressed as a percentage of net sales.

Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 1997 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 1, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales. Net sales in the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997 were $292.5 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 3.4%, over net sales of $282.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 1, 1996. The increase was due to higher shell egg market prices. With improved average shell egg market prices, Cal-Maines net average selling price during fiscal 1997 was $.722 per dozen shell eggs, as compared to $.684 per dozen shell eggs for fiscal 1996, an increase of 5.6%. During fiscal 1997, the number of dozens sold decreased due to reduced customer demand. The Company produced 309.8 million dozens of eggs in fiscal 1997, compared with 308.8 million dozens in fiscal 1996. The Company purchased approximately 73.4 million dozens of eggs from outside sources during fiscal 1997, compared to 80.2 million dozens of eggs in fiscal 1996. During fiscal 1997, the Company completed two acquisitions. In the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the shell egg production facilities of Sunbest Farms were purchased. Approximately 2% of fiscal 1997 dozens of eggs sold were attributed to this facility. As a production facility only, the eggs produced were transferred to other company locations for processing and marketing. In April 1997, mid-fourth quarter, the shell egg production and processing facilities of Southern Empire Egg Farm, Inc. were acquired. Due to the late fiscal purchase date, these facilities accounted for approximately 1% of the dozens of eggs sold and net sales for fiscal 1997. Cost of Sales. The cost of sales in fiscal 1997 was $236.3 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 2.3%, above the fiscal 1996 cost of sales of $230.9 million. The increase was due to an increase in feed ingredient cost. The increase in ingredient cost began in fiscal 1996 and continued through the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Feed cost per dozen eggs produced during fiscal 1997 was $.284, compared to $.266 per dozen in fiscal 1996, an increase of 6.8%. As mentioned above in the sales discussion, the number of outside eggs purchased decreased for fiscal 1997. The potential dollar decrease for fewer dozens purchased was offset by the higher per dozen price paid, due to the improved shell egg market prices. With increases in sales exceeding increases in cost of sales, the gross profit increased from 18.4% of net sales for fiscal 1996 to 19.2% for fiscal 1997. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1997 were $28.9 million, a decrease of $700,000, or 2.4%, as compared to the $29.6 million for fiscal 1996. For the current fiscal year, a decrease in health insurance expenses was the major reason for the lower dollar costs. As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased from 10.5% for fiscal 1996 to 9.9% for the current fiscal year. Operating Income. As a result of the above, the Company's operating income was $27.3 million in fiscal 1997, an increase of $5.0 million, or 22.3%, as compared to an operating income of $22.3 million for fiscal 1996. As a percent of net sales, operating income for fiscal 1997 increased to 9.3%, as compared to 7.9% for fiscal 1996. Other Income (Expense). Other expense for fiscal 1997 was $3.0 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 40%, as compared to other expense of $5.0 million for fiscal 1996. Interest expense for fiscal 1997 was $4.3 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 22.1%, as compared to an interest expense of $5.5 million for fiscal 1996. Higher interest expense for fiscal 1996 was due to borrowings under lines of credit from banks that were repaid by fiscal 1996 year end. Interest income was $597,000 for fiscal 1997, compared to $141,000 for fiscal 1996. As a percent of net sales, other expenses were 1.0% for fiscal 1997, compared to 1.8% for fiscal 1996. Income Taxes. As a result of the above, the Company's pre-tax income was $24.4 million in fiscal 1997, compared to pre-tax income of $17.4 million for fiscal 1996. For fiscal 1997, an income tax expense of $9.5 million was recorded with an effective rate of 39.0% as compared to an income tax expense of $6.5 million with an effective rate of 37.2% for fiscal 1996. The increase in the effective rate is due primarily to the increase to the maximum statutory federal rate of 35% from 34% because the Company's taxable income exceeded the amount for which the maximum rate is required. The Company also increased the deferred tax liability for the increased federal statutory rate. Net Income. As a result of the above, net income for fiscal 1997 was $14.8 million, or $1.21 per share, compared to net income of $10.9 million, or $.94 per share, for fiscal 1996. Fiscal Year Ended June 1, 1996 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 3, 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales. Net sales in the fiscal year ended June 1, 1996 were $282.8 million, an increase of $40.2 million, or 16.6%, over net sales of $242.6 million in the fiscal year ended June 3, 1995. The increase was due to higher shell egg prices. Apart from the impact of acquisitions and new facilities construction, the sale price of shell eggs is the most important factor in year-to-year changes in the Company's net sales. Cal-Maines net average selling price during fiscal 1996 was $.684 per dozen shell eggs, as compared to $.528 per dozen shell eggs for fiscal 1995. During fiscal 1996, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of eggs sold because of a slight reduction in flock size and fewer purchases from outside sources. The Company produced 308.8 million dozens of eggs in fiscal 1996, compared with 322.7 million dozens in fiscal 1995. The Company purchased approximately 80.2 million dozens of eggs from outside sources during fiscal 1996, compared to 105.0 million in fiscal 1995. Approximately 12.9% of net sales in fiscal 1996 were attributable to shell egg production and processing facilities acquired from Wayne Detling Farm in 1994 and A & G Farms in 1995, and approximately 8.6% of fiscal 1996 net sales were attributable to new facilities constructed by the Company in Edwards, Mississippi in 1994 and Waelder, Texas in 1995. Such acquired facilities and constructed facilities accounted for 11.6% and 5.4%, respectively, of fiscal 1995 net sales. Cost of Sales. The total cost of sales in fiscal 1996 was $230.9 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 3.1%, above the 1995 fiscal cost of sales of $224.0 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in feed ingredient cost from $.211 per dozen eggs in fiscal 1995 to $.266 per dozen eggs in fiscal 1996. The gross profit margin increased to 18.4% in fiscal 1996 from 7.7% in fiscal 1995, as a result of the increase in shell egg prices, which more than offset the decrease in the number of eggs produced and the increase in feed cost. Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, sharply declined in the fiscal year ended June 1, 1996, primarily as a result of increases in shell egg prices. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996 were $29.7 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 6.2%, from $27.9 million for fiscal 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales, were 10.5% in fiscal 1996, a decrease from 11.5% in fiscal 1995. Operating Income. As the result of the above, the Company's operating income was $22.3 million in fiscal 1996, compared to an operating loss of $9.3 million in fiscal 1995. Other Income (Expense). Other expense increased from $4.0 million in fiscal 1995 to $5.0 million in fiscal 1996. An increase of approximately $1.0 million in the Company's equity in the income of BCM Egg Company (BCM), a partnership in which Cal-Maine is a 50% owner, was more than offset by an increase in interest expense of $400,000 and a $1.2 million reduction in other income. Income Taxes. As a result of above, the Company's pre-tax income was $17.4 million in fiscal 1996, compared to a $13.3 million loss before income taxes in fiscal 1995. Income tax expense was $6.5 million in fiscal 1996 compared to an income tax benefit of $4.6 million in fiscal 1995. The effective income tax rate is 37.2% for the year ended June 1, 1996, compared to 34.6% for the year ended June 3, 1995. This increase was principally a result of the increased effective tax rate for state income taxes. Net Income. As a result of the above, the Company had net income of $10.9 million, or $.94 per share, in fiscal 1996, compared to a net loss of $8.7 million, or $.74 per share, in fiscal 1995. Capital Resources and Liquidity. The Company's working capital at May 31, 1997 was $45.4 million compared to $26.7 million at June 1, 1996. The Company's current ratio was 2.26 at May 31, 1997 as compared with 1.79 at June 1, 1996. The Company's need for working capital generally is highest in the first and last fiscal quarters ending in August and May, respectively, when egg prices are normally at seasonal lows. Seasonal borrowing needs frequently are higher during these periods than during other fiscal periods. The Company had an unused $35 million line of credit with three banks at May 31, 1997. The Company's long-term debt at that date, including current maturities and capitalized lease obligations, amounted to $64.4 million, as compared to $63.4 million at June 1, 1996. Substantially all trade receivables and inventories collateralize the Company's line of credit, and property, plant and equipment collateralize the Company's long-term debt. The Company is required by certain provisions of these loan agreements to (1) maintain minimum levels of working capital and net worth; (2) limit dividends, capital expenditures, lease obligations and additional long-term borrowings; and (3) maintain various current and cash-flow coverage ratios, among other restrictions. The Company was in compliance with these provisions at May 31, 1997. On December 11, 1996, the Company sold 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.00 per share in an underwritten public offering. On December 30, 1996 and January 9, 1997, the Company sold, at $7.00 per share, a total of 330,000 additional shares of Common Stock in connection with the public offering upon exercise of the underwriter over-allotment option. The $10.6 million of net proceeds from the public offering provide the Company additional funds for possible future acquisitions of shell egg operations and related facilities, for working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. The Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company also sold certain of his shares of Common Stock in the public offering and used $1.7 million of the proceeds received by him to pay, in full, his non-interest bearing note held by the Company. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997, $32.5 million of net cash was provided by operating activities, of which $16.2 million was used for construction and purchases of property, plant and equipment and $7.0 million was used for the purchase of shell egg production and processing businesses. The Company has expended $11.5 million in the construction of new shell egg production, processing and feed mill facilities in Chase, Kansas. The Company is financing approximately $13.5 million of the estimated $16.0 million total project cost through industrial revenue bonds maturing in 2011. Borrowings under the industrial revenue bond agreement totaled $1.0 million at May 31, 1997. Long-term debt of $5.0 million was assumed in connection with the purchase of a shell egg production and processing business in fiscal 1997. In fiscal 1998, the Company plans to commence construction of new shell egg production and processing facilities in Waelder, Texas. The estimated cost of construction is approximately $13.9 million with financing plans of approximately $10.4 million in borrowings from an insurance company. In fiscal 1997, $7.0 million was used to repay long-term debt and $3.3 million was received on notes receivable and from investments. The net result of these activities was an increase in cash and equivalents of $19.8 million for fiscal 1997. The Company has $3.2 million of deferred tax liability due to a subsidiarys change from a cash basis to an accrual basis taxpayer on May 29, 1988. This liability will become payable with respect to the first fiscal year in which the Company fails to qualify as a family farming corporation within the meaning of Section 447 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The Company could lose such tax status as a result of a change in the tax laws, and will lose such tax status if its annual revenues from farming are less than $111.5 million, or if the members of a single family fail to own at least 50% of the voting power of all voting stock and at least 50% of all other classes of stock. The Company had farming revenues of $258.6 million for fiscal 1997. The Company's farming revenues and the ownership of its stock by Fred Adams, Jr. and other members of his family presently qualify the corporation as a family farming corporation. If family farming corporation status is lost, payment of the $3.2 million deferred tax liability would reduce the Company's cash, but would not impact the Company's statement of operations or reduce stockholders equity, as these taxes have been accrued and are reflected on the Company's balance sheet. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The foregoing statements contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties and the Company's actual experience may differ materially from that discussed above. Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Factors Affecting Future Performance as well as future events that have the effect of reducing the Company's available cash balances, such as unanticipated operating losses or capital expenditures related to possible future acquisitions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis only as the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements. See also the Company's reports to be filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Factors Affecting Future Performance. The Company's future operating results may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's control. These include adverse changes in shell egg prices and in the grain markets. Accordingly, past trends should not be used to anticipate future results and trends. Further, the Company's prior performance should not be presumed to be an accurate indication of future performance. ITEM 7A.

See accompanying notes. F-6 Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands, except per share amounts) May 31, 1997 1. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company") all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Business The Company is engaged in the production, processing and distribution of shell eggs and egg products and livestock operations. The Company's operations are significantly affected by the market price fluctuation of its principal products sold, shell eggs, and the costs of its principal ingredients, corn and other grains. In fiscal years 1997 and 1996, corn prices were historically high, which adversely affected cost of goods sold. Management anticipates lower corn prices in fiscal year 1998 which will have a positive effect on the fiscal 1998 cost of goods sold. Primarily all of the Company's sales are to wholesale egg and egg products buyers in the southwestern, southeastern, midwestern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Revenue is recognized when shell eggs and products are shipped to customers. Credit is extended based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history and generally collateral is not required. Credit losses have consistently been within management's expectations. One customer accounted for 10.1% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales in fiscal years 1996 and 1995. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Inventories Inventories of eggs, feed, supplies and livestock are valued principally at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The cost associated with flocks, consisting principally of chick purchases, feed, labor, contractor payments and overhead costs, are accumulated during a growing period of approximately 18 weeks. Flock costs are amortized over the productive lives of the flocks, generally one to two years. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which is 15 to 25 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 8 years for machinery and equipment. F-7 2. Significant Accounting Policies (contd.) Income Taxes Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Stock Based Compensation The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to or above the fair value of the shares at the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. Net Income Per Common Share Net income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 12,285,000, 11,584,000, and 11,700,000 during fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards Effective June 2, 1996, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The effect of this adoption was not material to the Company's financial position or results of its operations. In February 1997, the FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, was issued. Effective in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of earnings per share is not expected to be material. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year-end is on the Saturday nearest May 31 which was May 31, 1997 (52 weeks), June 1, 1996 (52 weeks), and June 3, 1995 (53 weeks) for the most recent fiscal three years. 2. Initial Public Offering During December 1996 and January 1997, the Company sold 1,730,000 shares in aggregate of its common stock at $7 per share in an underwritten initial public offering (the "Offering"). Net proceeds from the Offering were $10,580. 3. Acquisitions In April 1997, the Company purchased certain operating assets of a shell egg production and processing business for $10,654, which included a $5,000 note payable to the seller. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. In January 1997, the Company purchased, for $1,302, certain operating assets of a shell egg production business and accounted for the transaction as a purchase. In June 1994, the Company purchased, for $2,883, certain inventories, land and equipment of a shell egg production and processing F-8 3. Acquisitions (contd.) business and accounted for the transaction as a purchase. In connection with the purchase, the Company leased substantially all facilities and certain equipment of the business under an operating lease with monthly rentals of $79 through May 1998. The Company may renew the lease for three years with monthly rentals of $79 through May 2001. The Company has the option to purchase the facilities and equipment for approximately $3,820 after fiscal 1999 or $1,750 after fiscal 2002. The operating results of these assets acquired are included in the consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the periods subsequent to the acquisition dates. Prior operations of these assets acquired are immaterial to the Company's net sales, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1997, June 1, 1996 and June 3, 1995. 4. Investment in Affiliates The Company owns 50% of BCM Egg Company ("BCM"), a partnership. Equity in earnings of $681, $721, and $24, from BCM have been included in the consolidated statements of operations in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company purchased approximately $9,831, $9,929, and $7,492 of eggs from BCM during each of those fiscal years, which represented a significant percentage of BCM's sales. The Company owns 32.5% of American Egg Products, Inc. ("AEP"). Equity in losses of $157 from AEP have been included in the consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 1997. The Company did not record equity in income or losses from AEP in fiscal 1996 or 1995 because its ownership interest in AEP was less than 20%. 5. Inventories Inventories consisted of the following: May 31 June 1 1997 1996 ------- ------- Flocks $26,674 $23,501 Eggs and egg products 4,030 3,127 Feed and supplies 8,377 10,424 Livestock 3,513 3,917 ------- ------- $42,594 $40,969 ======= =======

Future minimum payments under capital leases and noncancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year at May 31, 1997 are as follows: Capital Operating Leases Leases ------- ------- 1998 $ 303 $ 2,746 1999 303 1,600 2000 322 1,179 2001 151 756 2002 - 417 Thereafter - 144 ------- ------- Total minimum lease payments 1,079 $6,842 ======= Less amount representing interest (rates from7.25% to 9.0%) 122 ------- Present value of minimum lease payments 957 Less amounts due within one year 238 ------- Amounts due after one year $ 719 =======
Substantially all of the leases provide that the Company pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable to the leased assets. The Company has guaranteed under certain operating leases the residual value of transportation equipment at the expiration of the leases. Rent expense was $ 3,849, $3,901, and $3,726 in fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Included in rent expense are vehicle rents totaling $1,837, $1,718, and $1,726 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. F-10 8. Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt Long-term debt consisted of the following: May 31 June 1 1997 1996 Note payable at 6.62%; due in monthly installments of $130, plus interest, maturing in 2000 $14,075 $15,890 Note payable at 7.64%; due in monthly installments of $114, including interest, maturing in 2003 10,503 11,053 Note payable at federal funds rate plus 1.50%; due in quarterly installments of $298, plus interest, maturing in 2000 8,884 10,079 Note payable at 9.625%; due in monthly installments of $60, plus interest, maturing in 2001 6,780 7,485 Note payable at 7.75%; due in monthly installments of $55, plus interest, maturing in 2003 7,995 8,655 Note payable at 8.25%; due in monthly installments of $79, including interest, maturing in 2004 4,911 - Note payable, federal funds rate plus 1.50%; due in monthly installments of $24, plus interest, maturing in 2004 1,976 - Note payable, federal funds rate plus 1.5%; due in quarterly installments of $36, plus interest, maturing in 2000 - 643 Note payable at 8.69%; due in monthly installments of $8, including interest, maturing in 2001 329 392 Note payable at 6.61%; due in monthly installments of $7, including interest, maturing in 2000 266 335 Note payable at 4%; due in monthly installments of $4, including interest, maturing in 1999 105 149 Adjustable rate industrial revenue bonds 6,655 7,340 Fixed rate industrial revenue bonds 1,000 - ------- ------- 63,479 62,021 Less current maturities 4,302 3,807 ------- ------- $59,177 $58,214 ======= =======
The adjustable rate industrial revenue bonds with principal balances of $4,670 and $1,985 are due November 1, 2005 and May 1, 2006, respectively, with interest due monthly at variable rates (5.65% at May 31, 1997 and 5.60% at June 1, 1996). The bonds are redeemable at the option of the Company on a monthly basis subject to certain mandatory redemption requirements. The bonds are collateralized by letters of credit of approximately $7,000. The Company has available to borrow $13,500 of fixed rate industrial revenue bonds for the construction of certain operating facilities, of which $1,000 has been borrowed as of May 31, 1997. The estimated total construction cost of the facilities is $16,000, of which $11,500 was expended as of May 31, 1997. Principal payments consist of monthly principal payments equal to the outstanding borrowings on September 30, 1998 divided by 150 beginning November 1, 1998. Interest is payable monthly at a fixed rate based upon the average-life US Treasury rate plus 2% (8.84% weighted average rate at May 31, 1997) at the date the funds are advanced to the Company. F-11 8. Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt (contd.) The aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt at May 31, 1997 are as follows: 1998 $4,302 1999 5,452 2000 16,005 2001 15,590 2002 3,375 Thereafter 18,755 ------- $63,479 ======= The Company has a $35,000 line of credit with three banks all of which was unused at May 31, 1997. The line of credit is limited in availability based upon the levels of accounts receivable and inventories. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at 1.5% above the federal funds rate or LIBOR, at the Company's option. Facilities fees of .25% per annum are payable quarterly on the unused portion of the line. Substantially all trade receivables and inventories collateralize the line of credit and property, plant and equipment collateralize the long-term debt. The Company is required, by certain provisions of the loan agreements, to maintain minimum levels of working capital and net worth; to limit dividends, capital expenditures and additional long-term borrowings; and to maintain various current and debt-to-equity ratios. Additionally, the chief executive officer of the Company, or his family, must maintain ownership of not less than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. The Company was in compliance with these provisions as of May 31, 1997. Interest of $4,614, $5,910, and $5,594 was paid during fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Interest of $337, $305, and $438 was capitalized for construction of certain facilities during fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. 9. Employee Benefit Plans The Company maintains a medical plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and not subject to tax under present income tax laws. Under its plan, the Company self-insures, in part, coverage for substantially all full-time employees with coverage by insurance carriers for certain stop-loss provisions for losses greater than $60 for each occurrence. The Company's expenses, including accruals for incurred but not reported claims, were approximately $2,110, $3,130, and $2,100 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all employees. Participants in the Plan may contribute up to the maximum allowed by Internal Revenue Service regulations. The Company has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that covers substantially all employees. The Company has historically made contributions to the ESOP of 3% of participants' compensation, plus an additional amount determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Contributions may be made in cash or the Company's common stock. The contributions vest 20% annually beginning with the participant's third year of service. The Company's contributions to the plan were approximately $1,416, $992, and $808 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain officers for payments to be made over specified periods beginning when the officers reach age 65. Amounts accrued for these agreements are based upon deferred compensation earned, discounted over the estimated remaining service life of each officer. Deferred compensation expense totaled $60 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. F-12 10. Stock Option Plan The Company has elected to follow APB No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The Company has reserved 800,000 shares under its 1993 Stock Option Plan. The options have ten-year terms and vest annually over five years beginning one year from the grant date. At May 31, 1997 and June 1, 1996, 272,000 and 296,000 shares, respectively, were available for grant under the 1993 plan. Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by FASB Statement No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for fiscal 1997: risk-free interest rate of 6.5%; no dividend yield; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .517, and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 5 years. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during fiscal 1997 was $4.56. No options were granted in fiscal 1996. The pro forma effect of the estimated fair value of the options granted in fiscal 1997 was insignificant to the fiscal 1997 net income and net income per share of the Company. A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information is as follows:
Weighted- Average Shares Exercise Price -------- -------------- Outstanding at June 3, 1995 552,000 $ 3.42 Forfeited (48,000) 3.42 -------- Outstanding at June 1, 1996 504,000 3.42 Granted 24,000 4.33 -------- Outstanding at May 31, 1997 528,000 3.46 ========
At May 31, 1997, the weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding was 6.2 years and 302,400 options were exercisable. 11. Income Taxes Income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following: Fiscal year ended May 31 June 1 June 3 1997 1996 1995 ------ ------ ------ Current: Federal $6,502 $1,700 $(1,390) State 150 100 - ------ ------ ------ 6,652 1,800 (1,390) Deferred: Federal 2,390 4,020 (2,810) State 466 640 (400) ------ ------ ------ 2,856 4,660 (3,210) ------ ------ ------ $9,508 $6,460 $(4,600)
F-13 11. Income Taxes (continued) Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities were as follows: May 31 June 1 1997 1996 -------- -------- Current deferred tax liabilities: Inventories $ 10,175 $ 9,330 Prepaid expenses 175 235 Accrued expenses (415) (200) Other (20) (10) -------- -------- Total current deferred tax liabilities 9,915 9,355 Long-term deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 6,741 5,830 Investments 335 385 Deferred compensation (310) (300) State net operating loss carryforwards - (255) Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards - (1,105) Cash basis temporary differences 3,185 3,100 -------- -------- Total long-term deferred tax liabilities 9,951 7,655 -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities $19,866 $17,010 ======== ========
Effective May 29, 1988, the Company could no longer use cash basis accounting for its farming subsidiary because of tax law changes. The taxes on the cash basis temporary differences as of that date will not be payable under current tax laws provided there are no changes in ownership control and future annual revenues of the farming subsidiary exceed 1988 revenues. Management does not anticipate the payment of such taxes related to these cash basis timing differences during 1997. The Company uses the farm-price method for valuing inventories for income tax purposes. The differences between income tax expense at the Company's effective income tax rate and income tax expense (benefit) at the statutory federal income tax rate (35% in fiscal 1997 and 34% in fiscal 1996 and 1995) were as follows: Fiscal year ended May 31 June 1 June 3 1997 1996 1995 -------- -------- -------- Statutory federal income tax (benefit) $8,524 $5,911 $(4,517) State income taxes (benefit), net 700 488 (268) Benefit of net operating loss carryover for certain states (300) - - Increase in federal income tax rate 495 - - Other, net 89 61 185 -------- -------- -------- $9,508 $6,460 $(4,600)
Federal and state income taxes of $7,597, $1,985 and $294 were paid in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Federal and state income taxes of $9, $1,500 and $3,267 were refunded in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. F-14 12. Other Matters The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and investments, long-term debt and capitalized leases approximate their carrying value. The fair values for notes receivables, long-term debt and capitalized leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The Company is the defendant in certain legal actions. It is the opinion of management, based on advise of legal counsel, that the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
