    GOLDEN ENTERPRISES PRESS RELEASE

    Golden Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:GLDC) (the "Company") announced
today that on December 6, 2005 it received a NASDAQ Staff Deficiency
Letter indicating that the Company failed to comply with the
independent Audit Committee membership requirements for continued
listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2) (the "Rule"). Upon
receipt of this letter, the Company promptly took action to cure the
deficiency and on December 9, 2005, the Company received a follow-up
letter from NASDAQ stating that it "has determined that the Company
complies with the Rule and this matter is now closed."
    The Rule requires that the Company have an Audit Committee
consisting of three independent directors. James I. Rotenstreich, John
S. P. Samford and Edward R. Pascoe serve on the Company's Audit
Committee. NASDAQ had determined that Rotenstreich, Samford and Pascoe
were not independent directors because they served on the Voting
Committee described below.
    Sloan Y. Bashinsky, Sr., who controlled a majority of the Company
stock, died on August 2, 2005 and created a Voting Committee under his
Will and Trust to vote the Company stock controlled by him. The Voting
Committee votes a majority of the Company's Stock. The Voting
Committee is made up of each member of the Company's Board of
Directors and one additional member appointed by the Personal
Representatives of Mr. Bashinsky's Estate and Trust.
    Prior to serving on the Voting Committee, Messrs. Rotenstreich,
Samford and Pascoe were independent directors. In response to the
NASDAQ deficiency letter, they resigned from the Voting Committee and
the Company informed NASDAQ of such resignations on December 9, 2005.
NASDAQ by written response dated December 9, 2005, informed the
Company that it had determined that the Company complies with the
independent director Rule and this matter is closed. The Company is in
compliance with the Audit Committee Membership Requirements for
continued listing as set forth in the Rule.
