NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except where noted and per share data)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC, JBSS Ventures, LLC and Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

• References herein to fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to the fiscal year ending June 25, 2015 and the fiscal year ended June 26, 2014, respectively.

• References herein to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to the quarters ended December 25, 2014 and December 26, 2013, respectively.

• References herein to the first half or first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2014 and December 26, 2013, respectively.

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts and tree nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Sunshine Country brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, nut clusters, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. Our products are sold through the major distribution channels to significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers, commercial ingredient users, contract packaging customers and international customers.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements fairly present the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods.

The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The balance sheet data as of June 26, 2014 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2014.

Note 2 – Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market which approximates actual cost. Raw materials and supplies include costs of nut and nut related products. Work-in-process and finished goods include labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Inventories consist of the following:

	December 25, 2014		June 26, 2014		December 26, 2013
Raw material and supplies	$	111,150	$	68,196	$	105,088
Work-in-process and finished goods		110,788		114,634		82,500
Total	$	221,938	$	182,830	$	187,588

7

The previously reported balances of raw material and supplies at June 26, 2014, March 27, 2014 and December 26, 2013 incorrectly included $21,221, $12,995 and $11,793, respectively, of certain nut meats that should have been classified as work in process and finished goods. The current presentation reflects this correction and there is no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The impact to prior periods is not material and the Company will similarly correct this disclosure in future filings.

Note 3 – Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following:

	December 25, 2014			June 26, 2014			December 26, 2013
Customer relationships	$	10,600		$	10,600		$	10,600
Non-compete agreement		5,400			5,400			5,400
Brand names		8,090			8,090			8,090
Total intangible assets, gross		24,090			24,090			24,090
Less accumulated amortization:
Customer relationships		(6,960	)		(6,203	)		(5,446	)
Non-compete agreement		(4,893	)		(4,582	)		(4,041	)
Brand names		(8,076	)		(8,059	)		(8,042	)
Total accumulated amortization		(19,929	)		(18,844	)		(17,529	)
Net intangible assets	$	4,161		$	5,246		$	6,561

Customer relationships and the non-compete agreement relate wholly to the Orchard Valley Harvest (“OVH”) acquisition completed in 2010. Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight line basis over seven years. The non-compete agreement is being amortized based upon the expected pattern of cash flow annual benefit over a five year period. The brand names consist primarily of the Fisher brand name, which we acquired in a 1995 acquisition. The Fisher brand name became fully amortized in fiscal 2011. The remaining brand name relates to the OVH acquisition and is being amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

Note 4 – Primary Financing Facilities

On February 7, 2008, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117,500 revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. On September 30, 2014, we entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) which extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from July 15, 2016 to July 15, 2019 and reduced the interest rates charged for ordinary course and letter of credit borrowings. The revolving loan commitment amount did not change. In addition, the Sixth Amendment allows the Company to, without obtaining Bank Lender consent, (i) make up to two cash dividends or distributions on our stock each fiscal year, or (ii) purchase, acquire, redeem or retire stock in any fiscal year, in any case, in an amount not to exceed $25,000, individually or in the aggregate, as long as the excess availability under the Credit Agreement remains over $30,000 after giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, purchase or redemption. The Sixth Amendment also increased the amount of permitted acquisitions to $100,000 from $50,000 and removed the annual limit on capital expenditures. At December 25, 2014, we had $83,530 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $29,470 and reduced availability as a result of $4,500 in outstanding letters of credit. As of December 25, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if the entire available amount were borrowed.

Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36,000 (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9,000 (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45,000 (the “Mortgage Facility”). As of December 25, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We have classified $17,800 under Tranche A and $4,450 under Tranche B as long-term debt at December 25, 2014, which represent scheduled principal payments due beyond twelve months.

8

Note 5 – Income Taxes

On December 19, 2014 the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 was signed into law which extended several expired tax incentives; specifically the Research Tax Credit and bonus depreciation. The impact of this legislation was recorded in the second quarter fiscal 2015 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

At the beginning of fiscal 2015, we had gross state tax net operating losses of approximately $3,649 that will expire in 2024 if not utilized.

As of December 25, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were approximately $427. During the first half of fiscal 2015, unrecognized tax benefits increased $145 and accrued interest and penalties increased $19. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

We file income tax returns with federal and state tax authorities within the United States of America. Our federal tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2011 and later. Our Illinois tax return is open for audit for fiscal 2013. Our California tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2009 and later. No other tax jurisdictions are material to us.

Note 6 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock (i) were exercised or converted into Common Stock or (ii) resulted in the issuance of Common Stock. The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the Quarter Ended				For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
	December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013		December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic		11,136,143		11,016,373		11,114,137		10,988,555
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and restricted stock units		81,779		79,898		95,629		108,068
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted		11,217,922		11,096,271		11,209,766		11,096,623

The following table presents a summary of anti-dilutive awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share:

	For the Quarter Ended				For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
	December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013		December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013
Weighted average number of anti-dilutive shares:		—		56,860		—		30,305
Weighted average exercise price:	$	—	$	25.32	$	—	$	25.36

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

At our annual meeting of stockholders on October 29, 2014, our stockholders approved a new equity incentive plan (the “2014 Omnibus Plan”) under which awards of options and stock-based awards may be made to employees, officers or non-employee directors of our Company. A total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants of awards thereunder, which may be in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (SARs”), performance shares, performance units, Common Stock or dividends and dividend equivalents.

The total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options or SARs may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 500,000 shares (this limit applies separately with respect to each type of award). Additionally, for awards of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares or other stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation: (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 250,000 shares (this limit applies separately to each type of award) and (ii) the maximum amount that may be paid to any participant for awards that are payable in cash or property other than Common Stock in any calendar year is $5,000.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, 83,505 RSUs were awarded to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The vesting period is three years for awards to employees and one year for awards to non-employee directors. We are recognizing expenses over the applicable vesting period based on the market value of our Common Stock at the grant date.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the first half of fiscal 2015:

Options	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 26, 2014		63,500		$	13.98
Activity:
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(21,500	)		17.90
Forfeited		—			—
Outstanding at December 25, 2014		42,000		$	11.98		2.2	$	1,509
Exercisable at December 25, 2014		41,000		$	11.91		2.1	$	1,476

For the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2014 the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $314 and the total cash received was $385. The change in non-vested stock option activity was insignificant during the first half of fiscal 2015.

The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the first half of fiscal 2015:

Restricted Stock Units	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at June 26, 2014		201,308		$	16.23
Activity:

Stock-based compensation cost	$	608	$	345	$	879	$	561

As of December 25, 2014, there was $3,400 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock-based compensation plans, including the 2014 Omnibus Plan. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Note 8 – Special Cash Dividend

On October 28, 2014 our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company, declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend was paid on December 12, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 3, 2014. The total amount of cash paid to stockholders under the Special Dividend was $16,759.

Note 9 – Retirement Plan

On August 2, 2007, our Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee approved a restated Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for certain of our executive officers and key employees, effective as of August 25, 2005. The purpose of the SERP is to provide an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation benefit upon retirement, disability or death to certain executive officers and key employees. The monthly benefit is based upon each individual’s earnings and his or her number of years of service. Administrative expenses include the following net periodic benefit costs:

	For the Quarter Ended					For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended

Note 12 – Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix

We operate in a single reportable segment through which we sell various nut and nut related products through multiple distribution channels.

The following table summarizes net sales by distribution channel:

	For the Quarter Ended				For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
Distribution Channel	December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013		December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013
Consumer (1)	$	162,044	$	142,362	$	285,955	$	238,872
Commercial Ingredients		51,101		45,668		99,047		95,688

Total	$	251,373	$	225,114	$	456,410	$	401,811

(1) Sales of branded products, primarily all Fisher brand, were approximately 42% and 41% of total consumer sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. Sales of branded products, primarily all Fisher brand, were approximately 36% of total consumer sales during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014.

(2) Export sales consist primarily of bulk products and consumer branded and private brand products. Consumer branded and private brand products accounted for approximately 72% and 43% of total sales in the export channel during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. Consumer branded and private brand products accounted for approximately 73% and 58% of total sales in the export channel during the first twenty six weeks of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following table summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

	For the Quarter Ended						For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
Product Type	December 25, 2014			December 26, 2013			December 25, 2014			December 26, 2013

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcomes of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially affect our Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial monetary damages in excess of any appropriate accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1	–	Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2	–	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3	–	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.

The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances.

The carrying value of our revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value at each balance sheet date because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria), the short-term maturity and nature of this balance. In addition, there has been no significant change in our inherent credit risk.

The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our long term debt, including current maturities:

	December 25, 2014		June 26, 2014		December 26, 2013
Carrying value of long-term debt:	$	37,344	$	39,015	$	40,686
Fair value of long-term debt:		41,251		43,091		44,199

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value based on interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt.

Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01 “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”. This update eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. Currently, if an event or transaction is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after continuing operations. Applicable income taxes and earnings-per-share data is also required to be disclosed. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. This update will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2017. This update can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

14

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Topic 205-40).” The guidance requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and created a new ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and added ASC Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2017. This guidance can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

• References herein to fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to the fiscal year ending June 25, 2015 and the fiscal year ended June 26, 2014, respectively.

• References herein to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to the quarters ended December 25, 2014 and December 26, 2013, respectively.

• References herein to the first half or first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to the twenty-six weeks ended December 25, 2014 and December 26, 2013, respectively.

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC, JBSS Ventures, LLC and Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. Our Company’s Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility, as defined below, are sometimes collectively referred to as “our financing arrangements.”

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, and Sunshine Country brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, nut clusters, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients, contract packaging and export distribution channels.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 we updated our strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”), the goal of which is to drive profitable growth. Our long-term goals include:

i. Growing Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest into leading nut brands by focusing on consumers demanding quality nuts in the snacking, recipe and produce categories,

ii. Expanding globally and building our Company into a leading international branded and private brand snack nut company, and

iii. Providing integrated nut solutions to grow non-branded business at existing key customers in each distribution channel.

We face a number of challenges in the future which include, among others: high tree nut commodity costs (due to the continued high demand for pecans and walnuts in China) and intensified competition for market share from both private brand and name brand nut products. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 our largest Fisher recipe nut customer informed us that they decided to not pursue the idea of developing a line of private brand recipe nut products for their baking section at this time. We will continue to focus on seeking profitable business opportunities to further utilize our additional production capacity at our primary manufacturing, processing and distribution facility located in Elgin, Illinois (the “Elgin Site”). We expect to maintain our recent level of advertising activity of our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands, and to develop new products for all product lines. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business, such as food safety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base. See the information referenced in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Our net sales of $251.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 11.7% from our net sales of $225.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Net sales for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 increased by $54.6 million, or 13.6%, to $456.4 million from net sales of $401.8 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014.

Sales volume, measured as pounds sold to customers, increased 3.4 million pounds, or 5.1%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Sales volume increased 7.4 million pounds, or 6.0%, compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. We also saw considerable growth in sales volume for Orchard Valley Harvest produce products with a 48.5% increase in pounds sold in the quarterly comparison.

Gross profit increased by $0.3 million in the quarter; however our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 14.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to 16.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Gross profit increased by $1.6 million year to date; however our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 14.9% from 16.5% for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased by $2.0 million, or 9.8%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. However as a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 fell to 9.0% compared to 9.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. For the first half of fiscal 2015, total operating expenses increased by $3.6 million to 9.0% of net sales compared to 9.4% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 2014. Operating expenses during the second quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2013 were favorably impacted by a $1.6 million pretax gain from the sale of the Old Elgin Site.

The total value of inventories on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased by $34.4 million, or 18.3%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

We have seen acquisition costs for most domestic tree nuts increase in the 2014 crop year (which falls into our current 2015 fiscal year). We have completed procurement of inshell walnuts during the first half of fiscal 2015. During the third quarter, we will determine the final prices to be paid to the walnut growers based upon current market prices and other factors. We have estimated the liability to our walnut growers and our walnut inventory costs using currently available information. Any difference between our estimated liability and the actual final liability will be determined during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.

Our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company and other factors, declared a special cash dividend on October 28, 2014. The special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Common stock of the Company was paid on December 12, 2014. We paid approximately $16.8 million to our stockholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Our net sales increased 11.7% to $251.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to net sales of $225.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Sales volume, which is defined as pounds sold to customers, increased by 5.1%, and sales volume increased for all major product types except walnuts and pecans in the quarterly comparison. The increase in net sales was attributable to the aforementioned sales volume increase and to a 6.2% increase in the weighted average sales price per pound, driven mainly by selling price increases for most major nut types due to higher commodity acquisition costs.

Our net sales were $456.4 million, an increase of $54.6 million, or 13.6%, for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a 7.1% increase in the weighted average sales price per pound and a 6.0% increase in sales volume, both due to the reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison above.

The following table summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

	For the Quarter Ended						For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
Product Type	December 25, 2014			December 26, 2013			December 25, 2014			December 26, 2013

Total		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

The following tables show a comparison of net sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

	For the Quarter Ended
Distribution Channel	December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013		Change			Percent Change
Consumer (1)	$	162,044	$	142,362	$	19,682			13.8	%
Commercial Ingredients		51,101		45,668		5,433			11.9
Contract Packaging		29,656		26,633		3,023			11.4
Export (2)		8,572		10,451		(1,879	)		(18.0	)
Total	$	251,373	$	225,114	$	26,259			11.7	%

(1) Sales of branded products, primarily all Fisher brand, were approximately 42% and 41% of total consumer sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively.

(2) Export sales consist primarily of bulk products and consumer branded and private brand products. Consumer branded and private brand products accounted for approximately 72% and 43% of total sales in the export channel during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively.

The following tables show a comparison of net sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

	For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
Distribution Channel	December 25, 2014		December 26, 2013		Change			Percent Change
Consumer (1)	$	285,955	$	238,872	$	47,083			19.7	%
Commercial Ingredients		99,047		95,688		3,359			3.5

Export (2)		16,057		17,295		(1,238	)		(7.2	)
Total	$	456,410	$	401,811	$	54,599			13.6	%

(1) Sales of branded products, primarily all Fisher brand, were approximately 36% of total consumer sales during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014.

(2) Export sales consist primarily of bulk products and consumer branded and private brand products. Consumer branded and private brand products accounted for approximately 73% and 58% of total sales in the export channel during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 13.8% in dollars and 9.2% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Private brand consumer sales volume increased 8.3%, primarily due to a significant increase in sales of snack nut products at two significant customers. Fisher snack nut sales volume increased 51.6% due largely to distribution of inshell peanuts we regained at a major Fisher snack customer, and increased merchandising activity. Much of this inshell peanut distribution had been temporarily lost in the second quarter of the prior year due to competitive pricing pressure. Fisher recipe nut sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was essentially unchanged compared to the second quarter of last year.

In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015, net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 19.7% in dollars and 13.3% in sales volume compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. Private brand consumer sales volume increased by 13.1% in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to the same period of fiscal 2014 due to significant increase in sales of snack nut and trail mix products at two significant customers. Fisher brand snack nut sales volume increased 41.1% for the same reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison above. Fisher brand recipe nut sales volume increased by 4.5% in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 due to distribution gains achieved at several customers.

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 11.9% in dollars and 7.6% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015, net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 3.5% in dollars, though sales volume decreased 0.7% compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. The sales volume increase for the quarterly period was primarily attributable to increased sales of almond and peanut products to existing customers. The sales volume decrease for the twenty-six week period was primarily due to lower pecan sales as a result of higher pecan prices compared to pecan prices that existed in the corresponding period of fiscal 2014. This loss in volume was mostly offset by the previously discussed sales volume increase in almond products to a major existing customer.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 11.4% in dollars, and 4.0% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015, net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 10.8% in dollars; however sales volume decreased 0.4% compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. The sales volume increase for the quarterly period was due primarily to increased sales of peanut, trail mix, and pecan products to several existing customers. The sales volume decrease for the twenty-six week period was due primarily to a former customer discontinuing a seasonal item which was mostly offset by the second quarter volume increases discussed above.

19

Net sales in the export distribution channel decreased by 18.0% in dollars and 39.0% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Net sales in the export distribution channel in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 decreased by 7.2% in dollars and 22.0% in sales volume compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. The sales volume decrease for both the quarterly the twenty-six week period comparison was primarily due to decreased inshell walnut export shipments due to a decreased supply of certain grades typically sold into the export market.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $0.3 million, or 0.8%, to $37.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 14.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to 16.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The decline in gross profit margin in the quarterly comparison was mainly attributable to a reduction in selling prices due to a $2.2 million increase in trade spending compared to the same period last year. This increase in trade spending was to support our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands.

Gross profit increased by $1.6 million, or 2.4%, to $67.9 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 from $66.3 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 14.9% for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to 16.5% for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. The decline in gross profit margin in the year to date comparison was attributable mainly to higher acquisition costs for certain grades of pecans and almonds during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and the impact of increased trade spending on selling prices in the current second quarter.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased by $2.0 million to $22.6 million. Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased to 9.0% of net sales from 9.1% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in operating expense is primarily due to the prior year’s $1.6 million pretax gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site which did not recur this fiscal year.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $15.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 3.4%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase was driven primarily by increased advertising expense of $0.6 million to support increasing sales volume for our branded products and a $0.3 million increase in broker commission expense due to increased sales volume and higher selling prices. These were partially offset by a $0.3 million reduction of incentive compensation expense.

Administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $6.9 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 2.1%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Total operating expenses for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 increased by $3.6 million to $41.2 million due primarily to the prior year’s $1.6 million pretax gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site which did not recur this fiscal year. Operating expenses for the first half of fiscal 2015 decreased to 9.0% of net sales from 9.4% of net sales for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014.

Selling expenses for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 were $26.7 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 6.7%, from the amount recorded for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. The increase was driven primarily by a $0.7 million increase in freight expense due to increased sales volume. Also contributing to the increase in selling expense was a $0.4 million increase in broker commission expense and a $0.4 million increase in advertising expense, both for the reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison above.

Administrative expenses for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 were $14.5 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.2%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. Changes in administrative expense include a $0.5 million increase in compensation related expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in professional expense.

Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased to $14.7 million, or 5.8% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 from $16.4 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased to $26.7 million, or 5.8% of net sales, for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 from $28.7 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Interest expense decreased 13.1% to $1.9 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to the same period of fiscal 2014. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower average borrowing levels.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $0.8 million for fiscal 2014. Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $2.5 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. The increase in the twenty-six week period was primarily due to increased maintenance expense on the exterior of the office building located on our Elgin, Illinois campus which we incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This project was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $4.9 million, or 36.6% of income before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $5.3 million, or 36.5% of income before income taxes, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. For the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015, income tax expense was $8.0 million, or 36.0% of income before income taxes, compared to $9.3 million, or 36.6% of income before income taxes, for the comparable period last year.

Net Income

Net income was $8.4 million, or $0.75 per common share (basic and diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $9.2 million, or $0.84 per common share (basic) and $0.83 per common share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The primary cause of the decline in net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was attributable to increased trade spending in the current second quarter to grow our brands and the $1.0 million after-tax gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site which favorably impacted the operating results last fiscal year.

Net income was $14.3 million, or $1.29 per common share (basic) and $1.28 per common share (diluted), for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015, compared to net income of $16.0 million, or $1.46 per common share (basic) and $1.44 per common share (diluted), for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. The majority of the net income decline for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 was attributable to the prior year’s gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site and the first quarter fiscal 2015 office building maintenance project discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Strategic Plan and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Agreement, dated February 7, 2008 and subsequently amended in March 2010, July 2011, October 2011, January 2013, December 2013 and September 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), that provides a revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Increases in our available credit under

21

our Credit Facility, due to our improved financial performance in the past, have allowed us to consummate business acquisitions, devote more funds to promote our products, (especially our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands), develop new products, pay special cash dividends for the past three years, and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan, which includes expansion into existing markets and international markets such as China.

Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change based upon fluctuations in both quantities and market prices of the various nuts and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the first half of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively:

	December 25, 2014			December 26, 2013			$ Change
Operating activities	$	37,952		$	29,636		$	8,316
Investing activities		(8,314	)		1,628			(9,942	)
Financing activities		(27,163	)		(22,274	)		(4,889	)
Total cash flow	$	2,475		$	8,990		$	(6,515	)

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.0 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to $29.6 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014. This increase was due to less usage of working capital for accounts payable partially reduced by more working capital required for inventory. Our nut commodity purchases were $56.2 million higher during the first half of fiscal 2015 than the same period of fiscal 2014, primarily due to the procurement of larger quantities of cashews and pecans combined with increasing almond costs.

Total inventories were $221.9 million at December 25, 2014, an increase of $39.1 million, or 21.4%, from the inventory balance at June 26, 2014, and an increase of $34.4 million, or 18.3%, from the inventory balance at December 26, 2013. The increase at December 25, 2014 compared to June 26, 2014 was primarily driven by receipt of the current year crop of inshell walnuts and pecans. The increase at December 25, 2014 compared to December 26, 2013 is due mainly to increased quantities of raw nut input stocks and higher commodity acquisition costs for pecans and almonds.

Raw nut input stocks increased by 12.8 million pounds, or 20.9%, at December 25, 2014 compared to December 26, 2013. The increase was attributable mainly to increased quantities of peanuts, walnuts and pecans. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased by 3.9% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014 mainly driven by a shift in quantities to relatively lower cost peanuts from relatively higher cost almonds and macadamia nuts.

Accounts payable were $112.7 million at December 25, 2014, an increase of $67.8 million, or 151.0%, from the balance at June 26, 2014, and an increase of $17.4 million, or 18.3%, from the balance at December 26, 2013. The increase in accounts payable from June 26, 2014 to December 25, 2014 is due primarily to the receipt of the new walnut crop and increased payables for inshell pecans. The increase in accounts payable at December 25, 2014 compared to December 26, 2013 is due to increased amounts due for almond and pecan purchases.

Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was $8.3 million during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $1.6 million for the same period last year. The $9.9 million decrease in cash was primarily due to the $7.8 million net proceeds from the sale of assets at the Old Elgin Site last year which did not recur this year. We also spent $2.2 million more on capital expenditures in the first half of fiscal 2015 compared to the first half of fiscal 2014. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment and facility upgrades, and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2015 to be approximately $13 million. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for planned capital expenditures.

22

Financing Activities Cash used in financing activities was $27.2 million during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2015 compared to $22.3 million for the same period last year. We paid $16.8 million in dividends during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $16.6 million during the same quarter last year. We repaid $11.1 million of short term borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility during the first half of fiscal 2015 compared to $7.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2014.

Real Estate Matters

In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into the Elgin Site. As part of the facility consolidation project, on April 15, 2005, we closed on the $48.0 million purchase of the Elgin Site. The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse, and affords us increased production capacity, such that we are currently able to offer our services to existing and new customers on an expanded basis.

We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for the available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until additional tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 72% of the office building is currently vacant. There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures may be necessary to lease the remaining space, including the space previously rented by the seller of the Elgin Site.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Credit Facility with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36.0 million (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9.0 million (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (the “Mortgage Facility”).

The Credit Facility, as most recently amended in September 2014, is secured by substantially all our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property, and fixtures. The Mortgage Facility is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois, Gustine, California and Garysburg, North Carolina (the “Encumbered Properties”).

Credit Facility

On September 30, 2014 we entered into a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) which extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to July 15, 2019 from July 15, 2016 and reduced the interest rates charged for ordinary course and letter of credit borrowings. The revolving loan commitment amount did not change. In addition, the Sixth Amendment allows us to, without obtaining Bank Lender Consent, (i) make up to two cash dividends or distributions on our stock each fiscal year, or (ii) purchase, acquire, redeem or retire stock in any fiscal year, in any case, in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, as long as the excess availability under the Credit Agreement remains over $30.0 million after giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, purchase or redemption. The Sixth Amendment also increased the amount of permitted acquisitions to $100.0 million from $50.0 million and removed the annual limit on capital expenditures. At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility currently accrue interest at either (i) a rate determined pursuant to the administrative agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the amount of loans which may be advanced under the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 0.50% to 1.00% or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%.

At December 25, 2014, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.82%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among other things, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, acquisitions and certain sales of assets and limit annual cash dividends or distributions, transactions with affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a

23

specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis, until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenants or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of December 25, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At December 25, 2014, we had $83.5 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if this entire amount were borrowed.

Mortgage Facility

We are subject to interest rate resets for each of Tranche A and Tranche B. Specifically, on March 1, 2018 (the “Tranche A Reset Date”) and March 1, 2016 and every two years thereafter (each, a “Tranche B Reset Date”), the Mortgage Lender may reset the interest rates for each of Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the reset interest rate for either Tranche A or Tranche B is unacceptable to us and we (i) do not have sufficient funds to repay amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, or (ii) are unable to refinance amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, on terms more favorable than the reset interest rates, then, depending on the extent of the changes in the reset interest rates, our interest expense could increase materially.

The Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. Tranche A under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.63% per annum, payable monthly. As mentioned above, such interest rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on the Tranche A Reset Date. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.2 million commenced on June 1, 2008. Tranche B under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest, as reset on March 1, 2014, at a floating rate of the greater of (i) one month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum or (ii) 4.50%, payable monthly (the “Floating Rate”). The margin on such Floating Rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on each Tranche B Reset Date; provided, however, that the Mortgage Lender may also change the underlying index on each Tranche B Reset Date occurring on or after March 1, 2016. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.1 million commenced on June 1, 2008. We do not currently anticipate that any change in the Floating Rate or the underlying index will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The terms of the Mortgage Facility contain covenants that require us to maintain a specified net worth of $110.0 million and maintain the Encumbered Properties. The Mortgage Lender is entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Mortgage Facility in the event we default in the payments required under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Mortgage Facility. As of December 25, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and therefore $17.8 million of Tranche A and $4.5 million of Tranche B have been classified as long-term debt which represent scheduled principal payments that are due at least twelve months beyond December 25, 2014.

Selma Property

In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. Also, we currently have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the partnerships at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original $14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of December 25, 2014, $12.1 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.
