NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

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 JBSS Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1979 as the successor by merger to an Illinois corporation that was incorporated in 1959. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). References herein to fiscal 2011 are to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 and will consist of fifty-three weeks (the fourth quarter consisting of fourteen weeks). References herein to fiscal 2010 are to the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010. References herein to the third quarter of fiscal 2011 are to the quarter ended March 24, 2011. References herein to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 are to the quarter ended March 25, 2010. References herein to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 are to the thirty-nine weeks ended March 24, 2011. References herein to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010 are to the thirty-nine weeks ended March 25, 2010.

The accompanying statements fairly present the consolidated statements of operations, 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 presentation 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 as of June 24, 2010 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. We suggest that you read these financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010.

Certain amounts were reclassified from “Accounts receivable” to “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” as of June 24, 2010 and March 25, 2010. Amounts of $2,180 and $3,492 were reclassified as of June 24, 2010 and March 25, 2010, respectively.

Note 2 — Inventories

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

		March 24,				June 24,				March 25,
		2011				2010				2010
Raw material and supplies		$	96,382			$	54,990			$	76,297
Work-in-process and finished goods			61,666				59,370				48,277
Inventories		$	158,048			$	114,360			$	124,574

Note 3 — Acquisition of Orchard Valley Harvest, Inc.

On May 21, 2010, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities (the “Acquisition”) of Orchard Valley Harvest, Inc. (“OVH”) for a purchase price of $32,887, $115 of which was paid as part of a final working capital review that was performed during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The purchase price may be increased up to a total of $10,079 ($5,079 of which has already been earned), contingent upon performance of the acquired business for the 2011 calendar year. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. As a result of the Acquisition, we expect to (i) expand our portfolio and market presence into the store perimeter beyond the traditional nut aisles, (ii) establish a platform to build a truly national produce nut program, and (iii) broaden our product breadth and production capabilities.

The initial OVH purchase price of $32,772 was initially allocated to the fair values of certain assets acquired and certain liabilities assumed and reported on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010. We finalized the allocation of the purchase price of $32,887 (which includes the $115 paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as part of the final working capital review) during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as follows:

Purchase Price Measurement		Amount
Accounts receivable		$	5,049
Inventories			10,648
Other assets			2,130
Property, plant and equipment			3,408
Intangible assets, including customer relationships, non-compete agreement and brand names (See Note 4 below)			16,170
Goodwill			5,662
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities			(2,911	)
Debt			(1,432	)
Earn-out liability			(5,837	)
Total		$	32,887

Goodwill, which is tax deductible, arises from intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and expected synergies from combining operations of OVH and our Company. There were no material contingencies recognized or unrecognized associated with the Acquisition, other than the earn-out contingency discussed below.

Under terms of the Purchase Agreement by and between us and OVH dated May 5, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), future consideration from $0 up to $10,079 may be paid, which is in addition to the $32,887 cash purchase price paid. The following table summarizes the potential earn-outs to be paid under terms of the Purchase Agreement. Net retail sales include packaged sales to the consumer distribution channel. Net sales are comprised of net retail sales plus bulk sales of products.

		Earn-out
Earn-out Measurement		Payment
Calendar 2010 net retail sales greater than $25,500		$	79
Calendar 2010 net sales greater than $41,500 and calendar 2010 net retail sales greater than $36,500			5,000
Calendar 2011 net retail sales greater than $43,000			2,500
Calendar 2010 and calendar 2011 net retail sales greater than $105,000			2,500
Total		$	10,079

The earn-out liability recorded as of June 24, 2010 represented the fair value of the expected future payments, which was estimated by applying the income approach. The fair value is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASC 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions included a discount rate of 3.25% and a probability adjusted level of future sales performance levels for each periodic performance benchmark that triggers an amount payable under the Purchase Agreement. Due to the relatively short timeframe for the earn-out payments, the potential variance of the above amounts is almost entirely dependent on such probability factors. We adjusted the probability factors at the end of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2011 based upon (i) strong net sales that exceeded previous estimates and (ii) forecasted futures sales of OVH products, and recorded $830 and $1,450, respectively, of administrative expenses for the second quarter and first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2011. No adjustment was recorded for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The two earn-out measurements based upon calendar 2010 net sales and net retail sales were both achieved. Consequently, $5,079 of the potential earn-out payment was earned. Under terms of the Purchase Agreement, we paid $4,135 of this amount during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and the remaining $944 is expected to be paid in November 2011. One of the two calendar 2011earn-out measurements was amended during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to remove the requirement that total net sales must be greater than $49,000 to achieve a certain earn-out payment.

With respect to the earn-out liability, we have established (i) a current liability of $3,152 as of March 24, 2011 related to (i) the $944 remaining earn-out payment we will be required to make related to calendar year 2010, and (ii) $2,208 related to the anticipated earn-out payment we will be required to make related to calendar year 2011. As of June 24, 2010, the total recorded earn-out liability was $5,837, $4,411 of which was classified as a current liability and $1,426 of which was classified as a long-term liability. The expected fair value of the earn-out liability will be re-measured on a quarterly basis through the quarter ending December 29, 2011. Any quarterly change in the expected fair value will require an adjustment to the contingent consideration with the corresponding charge or credit to income from operations for that quarter.

Note 4 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our recorded goodwill of $5,662 and $5,454 as of March 24, 2011 and June 24, 2010 relates wholly to the Acquisition which was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The $208 increase from June 24, 2010 to March 24, 2011 relates to final working capital adjustments made during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following:

		March 24,				June 24,				March 25,
		2011				2010				2010
Customer relationships		$	10,600			$	10,600			$	—
Non-compete agreement			5,400				5,400				—
Brand names			8,090				8,090				7,920
Total intangible assets, gross			24,090				24,090				7,920
Less accumulated amortization:
Customer relationships			(1,281	)			(146	)			—
Non-compete agreement			(428	)			(43	)			—
Brand names			(7,949	)			(7,780	)			(7,671	)
Total accumulated amortization			(9,658	)			(7,969	)			(7,671	)
Net intangible assets		$	14,432			$	16,121			$	249

Customer relationships and the non-compete agreement relate wholly to the Acquisition. 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 remainder of the brand names relates to the Acquisition and is being amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

We review goodwill and intangible assets during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year or whenever a triggering event occurs. No such event has occurred during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011.

Note 5 — 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 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). As of March 24, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. As of March 24, 2011, we had $44,650 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.

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 March 24, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and therefore $26,800 under Tranche A has been classified as long-term debt as of March 24, 2011. All amounts outstanding under Tranche B are classified as short-term debt as of March 24, 2011, since the Mortgage Lender has the option to use any proceeds of any sale of the site that was originally purchased by the Company in Elgin, Illinois to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

We recorded approximately $470 of discrete tax benefits during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Consequently, we recognized a $385 income tax benefit for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 24, 2011 despite reporting income before income taxes of $241. The discrete tax items relate to the following: (i) $78 of net tax benefit primarily related to favorable adjustments for research and development and other state credits than was previously estimated in our prior year tax provision, offset by other unfavorable provision adjustments; (ii) $180 of tax benefit related to release of state valuation allowance due to change in state law and our expected utilization of state investment tax credits; (iii) $74 of tax benefit due to favorable resolution of state tax audit; and (iv) $138 of state tax benefit related to out of period adjustment for excess state tax over book depreciation available in future periods.

At the beginning of fiscal year 2011, we had approximately $700 of state (net of the federal effect) net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for income tax purposes. The state NOL carryforwards relate to losses generated during the fiscal years ended June 26, 2008, June 28, 2007 and June 29, 2006, and generally have a carryforward period of approximately twelve years before expiration. We believe that the state NOL carryforwards will be fully utilized before each respective expiration.

As of March 24, 2011, unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were not material. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the “Income tax (benefit) expense” caption in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We file income tax returns with federal and state tax authorities within the United States of America. The Internal Revenue Service audited our tax return for fiscal 2004, and there was no material impact to our Company. The Illinois Department of Revenue has completed auditing our tax returns through fiscal 2007, and there was no material impact to our Company. No other tax jurisdictions are material to us.

As of March 24, 2011 and since June 24, 2010, there have been no material changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the future.

Note 7 — Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in computing earnings per share:

		For the Quarter Ended								For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
		March 24,				March 25,				March 24,				March 25,
		2011				2010				2011				2010
Weighted average shares outstanding — basic			10,676,192				10,642,304				10,667,786				10,633,655
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and restricted stock units			—				—				98,274				80,731
Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted			10,676,192				10,642,304				10,766,060				10,714,386

167,500 restricted stock units and 287,875 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $11.99 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 24, 2011 due to the net loss for that period. Similarly, 107,500 restricted stock units and 326,690 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $12.07 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 25, 2010 due to the net loss for that period. 112,625 anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $17.52 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 24, 2011. 132,625 anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $17.71 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 25, 2010.

Note 8 — Incentive Plans

At our annual meeting of stockholders on October 30, 2008, our stockholders approved a new equity incentive plan (the “2008 Equity Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which awards of options and stock-based awards may be made to members of the Board of Directors, employees and other individuals providing services to our Company. A total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants of awards, which may be in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), Common Stock or dividends and dividend equivalents. As of March 24, 2011, 794,834 shares of Common Stock remain authorized for future grants of awards. A maximum of 500,000 of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be used for grants of Common Stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Additionally, awards of options or SARs are limited to 100,000 shares annually to any single individual, and awards of Common Stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units are limited to 50,000 shares annually to any single individual. All restricted stock units granted under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan have vesting periods of three years for awards to employees and one year for awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. We are recognizing expenses over the applicable vesting period based upon the fair market value of our Common Stock at the grant date. The exercise price of stock options was determined as set forth in the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, and must be at

least the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Except as set forth in the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, options expire upon termination of employment or directorship, as applicable. The options granted under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan are exercisable 25% annually commencing on the first anniversary date of grant and become fully exercisable on the fourth anniversary date of grant. Options generally will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they are granted. We issue new shares of Common Stock upon exercise of stock options. Additionally, 10,000 SARs were granted to a marketing consultant during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The marketing consultant’s SARs vest over a three year period and have a ten year term.

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan replaced a stock option plan approved at our annual meeting of stockholders on October 28, 1998 (the “1998 Equity Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which awards of options and stock-based awards could be made. There were 700,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance to certain key employees and “outside directors” (i.e., directors who are not employees of our Company). The exercise price of the options was determined as set forth in the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan by the Board of Directors and was at least the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Except as set forth in the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, options expire upon termination of employment or directorship, as applicable. The options granted under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan are exercisable 25% annually commencing on the first anniversary date of grant and become fully exercisable on the fourth anniversary date of grant. Options generally will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they are granted. We issue new shares of Common Stock upon exercise of stock options issued pursuant to the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan. Through fiscal 2007, all of the options granted, except those granted to outside directors, were intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective fiscal 2008, all option grants are non-qualified awards. The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan terminated on September 1, 2008. However, all outstanding options issued pursuant to the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011:

										Weighted
										Average
						Weighted				Remaining
						Average				Contractual				Aggregate
Options		Shares				Exercise Price				Term				Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, at June 24, 2010			327,690			$	12.08

Exercisable, at March 24, 2011			265,125			$	12.26				3.86			$	503

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 was $6.71. The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010 was $8.30. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $77 and $100 for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 and first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

		Thirty-nine				Thirty-nine
		Weeks Ended				Weeks Ended
		March 24,				March 25,
		2011				2010
Weighted average expected stock-price volatility			43.60	%			53.27	%
Average risk-free rate			2.24	%			3.04	%
Average dividend yield			0.00	%			0.00	%
Weighted average expected option life (in years)			6.25				6.25
Forfeiture percentage			5.00	%			5.00	%

The following is a summary of non-vested stock options for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011:

						Weighted
						Average Grant Date
Options		Shares				Fair Value
Non-vested at June 24, 2010			57,125			$	4.83
Activity:

Vested			(35,375	)			4.89
Forfeited			—				—
Non-vested, at March 24, 2011			22,750			$	4.82

The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011:

						Weighted
						Average Grant Date
Restricted Stock Units		Shares				Fair Value
Outstanding at June 24, 2010			107,500			$	10.53
Activity:

Exercised			(2,666	)			9.13
Forfeited			(2,834	)			11.54
Outstanding at March 24, 2011			187,500			$	11.34

Compensation expense attributable to stock-based compensation during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 was $524 and $324, respectively. As of March 24, 2011, there was $1,262 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 0.78 years.

The 10,000 SARs granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 are being accounted for as a liability award whereby the fair value is measured at the end of each reporting period. We are using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the SARs. We recognized $24 of expense during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011. The fair value of the SARs was determined using the following assumptions:

		March 24,
		2011
Weighted average expected stock-price volatility			49.02	%
Average risk-free rate			3.27	%
Average dividend yield			0.00	%
Weighted average expected remaining life (in years)			9.25
Forfeiture percentage			0.00	%

Virtually all of our salaried employees participate in our Sanfilippo Value Added Plan (as amended, the “SVA Plan”) which is a non-equity incentive plan (an economic value added-based program). We accrue expense related to the SVA Plan in the annual period that the economic performance underlying such performance occurs. This method of expense recognition properly matches the expense associated with improved economic performance with the period the improved performance occurs on a systematic and rational basis. The amount accrued includes amounts that will be paid currently based upon our economic performance as measured under the SVA Plan and, if such results exceed the SVA Plan performance targets, amounts that may be payable in future periods, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the SVA Plan. The amounts that may be payable in future periods can be reduced or forfeited if our economic performance as measured under the SVA Plan is below the SVA Plan performance targets. We currently estimate that $2,322 will be forfeited during fiscal 2011 and recorded this adjustment during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011, $550 of which was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

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 named 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 Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
		March 24,				March 25,				March 24,				March 25,
		2011				2010				2011				2010
Service cost		$	53			$	36			$	161			$	108
Interest cost			145				146				433				438
Amortization of prior service cost			239				239				718				717
Amortization of gain			(54	)			(83	)			(162	)			(249	)
Net periodic benefit cost		$	383			$	338			$	1,150			$	1,014

Note 10 — Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix

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

The following summarizes net sales by distribution channel:

		For the Quarter Ended								For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
		March 24,				March 25,				March 24,				March 25,
Distribution Channel		2011				2010				2011				2010
Consumer		$	82,775			$	62,074			$	320,525			$	253,682

Total		$	137,442			$	113,194			$	507,830			$	420,076

The following 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 Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
		March 24,				March 25,				March 24,				March 25,
Product Type		2011				2010				2011				2010
Peanuts			17.5	%			21.8	%			15.6	%			19.8	%
Pecans			16.0				16.1				20.1				19.8
Cashews & Mixed Nuts			21.8				21.4				20.5				21.7
Walnuts			11.5				12.5				12.4				12.0
Almonds			14.3				12.2				13.2				11.1

Total			100.0	%			100.0	%			100.0	%			100.0	%

For all periods presented, the largest component of the “Other” product type is trail and snack mixes which include nut products.

Note 11 — Comprehensive Income (Loss)

We account for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. This topic establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The topic requires that all components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including the proceeding noted below. 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 money 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.

Cardenas et. al. v John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc.

In fiscal 2010, a class action wage and hour lawsuit was filed against us in the Northern District of Illinois under the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (“IMWL”) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The plaintiffs claimed damages under the IMWL in an amount equal to all unpaid back pay alleged to be owed to the plaintiffs, prejudgment interest on the back pay, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and an injunction precluding the Company from violating the IMWL. The plaintiffs additionally claimed damages under the FLSA in an amount equal to all back pay alleged to be owed to the plaintiffs, prejudgment interest on the back pay, liquidated damages equal to the amount of unpaid back wages, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in which they alleged that the Company maintained and maintains a practice regarding the rounding of employees’ time entries which violates the IMWL and the FLSA.

Following mediation during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we now expect to settle the class action wage and hour lawsuit for approximately $2,600 in the coming months. Consequently, we increased our current liability by $1,460 during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to $2,600, all of which was recorded during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011. We agreed to the $2,600 settlement amount in the third quarter in order to cover an expanded scope of wage and hour claims, plaintiffs and facilities.

The settlement is conditioned on the filing of a third amended complaint and the execution of a settlement agreement and release. The settlement will not become final and effective unless and until the court has issued a final settlement approval — such approval is anticipated in the coming months.

Note 13 — Product Recalls

On March 19, 2010, we announced a voluntary recall of certain bulk and packaged snack mix and cashew items containing black pepper as a precautionary measure because the product might have been contaminated with salmonella. Our recall was a follow-up to the voluntary recall of black pepper announced by Mincing Overseas Spice Company, a supplier to us through a distributor, on March 5, 2010. As of March 24, 2011, June 24, 2010 and March 25, 2010, our accrued liability for estimated product recall costs related to black pepper was $180, $180, and $590, respectively. We do not currently anticipate any further recalls related to black pepper.

During the time period of March 31, 2009 through April 8, 2009, we voluntarily recalled roasted inshell pistachios, raw shelled pistachios and mixed nuts containing raw shelled pistachios. The recall was made as a precautionary measure because such products might have been contaminated with salmonella. Our recall was a follow-up to the industry-wide voluntary recall of pistachios announced by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. (“Setton”), one of our pistachio suppliers. We do not currently anticipate any further recalls related to purchases of pistachios from Setton.

Our total net costs associated with the pistachio recall, which were all recorded in fiscal 2009, were approximately $2,400. We settled with Setton during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, receiving $1,100 in cash (recorded as a reduction in administrative expenses) and up to $700 in future consideration ($116 of which was used during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011), contingent upon product purchases. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we eliminated our remaining accrued liability for the pistachio recall and recorded a $346 reduction in administrative expenses. As of March 24, 2011, June 24, 2010, and March 25, 2010, our accrued liability for estimated product recall costs related to pistachios was $0, $346 and $346, respectively.

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our fixed rate debt as of March 24, 2011, including current maturities, was estimated to approximate the carrying value of $29,200. The fair value of the fixed rate debt was determined using a market approach, which estimates fair value based on companies with similar credit quality and size of debt issuances for similar terms.

The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration to be paid under terms of the Purchase Agreement was determined using probability factors for specific earn-out measurements discounted by our incremental short-term

borrowing rate. Due to the relatively short timeframe of the earn-out period (through calendar year 2011), the sensitivity of the determination of the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is almost entirely dependent upon the probability factors. Under the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of ASC 820 for Level 3 inputs, we are required to re-measure the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration on a quarterly basis and disclose the effect of the measurements on earnings for each quarterly period. See Note 3 for the effect of the remeasurement as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

The carrying amounts of our other financial instruments also approximate their estimated fair values.

Note 15 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17, “Topic 810 — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” (“ASU 2009-17”) which amended the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The ASU 2009-17 amendments are effective as of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. ASU 2009-17 replaces the prior risks-and-rewards-based quantitative approach to consolidation with a more qualitative approach that requires a reporting entity to have some economic exposure to a VIE along with “the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity.” The FASB also reminded its constituents that only substantive terms, transactions, and arrangements should affect the accounting conclusions under ASU 2009-17. The implementation of ASU 2009-17 had no material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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

Overview

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 JBSS Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1979 as the successor by merger to an Illinois corporation that was incorporated in 1959. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). References herein to fiscal 2011 are to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 and will consist of fifty-three weeks (the fourth quarter consisting of fourteen weeks). References herein to fiscal 2010 are to the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010. References herein to the third quarter of fiscal 2011 are to the quarter ended March 24, 2011. References herein to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 are to the quarter ended March 25, 2010. References herein to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 are to the thirty-nine weeks ended March 24, 2011. References herein to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010 are to the thirty-nine weeks ended March 25, 2010. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are one of the leading processors and marketers of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private labels 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, candy and confections, natural snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products. We distribute our products in the consumer, industrial, food service, contract packaging and export distribution channels.

Our business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and tree nut products is highest during the last four months of the calendar year. Pecans and walnuts, two of our principal raw materials, are primarily purchased between August and February and are processed throughout the year until the following harvest. As a result of this seasonality, our personnel requirements rise during the last four months of the calendar year. Our working capital requirements generally peak during the third quarter of our fiscal year.

We developed a five-year strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”) during fiscal 2009 to help us achieve long-term profitable growth. Our long-term goals include (i) attaining recognition by global retailers, food service providers and consumers as a world class nut partner, (ii) attaining recognition as a high quality, well-run food business that utilizes our vast industry knowledge and innovation to achieve high growth and profitability, (iii) meeting the demands of nut consumers throughout the world, (iv) profitably increasing our market share in private brands by using innovation valued by our customers, (v) substantially increasing our presence in the food service distribution channel, (vi) providing the best total solution to retailers by increasing our presence beyond the traditional nut aisles of stores, (vii) utilizing our Fisher brand name recognition as a foundation for targeted sustained growth via value-added snack and baking products, and (viii) utilizing acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances as they present themselves to grow our business and expand into new target markets. We have executed portions of this strategy during fiscal 2010 and the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011, including a significant increase in private label business with a customer and consummating the acquisition of certain assets of Orchard Valley Harvest, Inc. (“OVH”), which gives us a significant presence in the produce section of supermarkets. While our fiscal 2011 operating results thus far have negatively impacted our current financial position, we remain committed to our Strategic Plan and to delivering long-term profitable growth.

We face a number of challenges in the future. Specific challenges, among others, include: substantial increases in commodity costs, including as a result of increased demand for pecans and walnuts in China, intensified competition, integrating the acquired OVH business into our Gustine, California facility and the Elgin Site (as defined below) and executing our Strategic Plan. We will continue to focus on seeking additional profitable business to utilize the additional production capacity at our facility in Elgin, Illinois that houses our primary manufacturing operations and corporate headquarters (the “Elgin Site”). We have been, and we expect to continue to be, able to devote more funds to promote and advertise our Fisher brand in order to attempt to regain market share that has been lost in recent years. However, this effort is challenging because, among other things, consumer preferences have shifted towards lower-priced private label products from higher-priced branded products as a result of current economic conditions. In addition, private label products generally provide lower margins than branded products. 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. Also, although we currently believe our operations support the value of goodwill reported, we may be required to recognize goodwill impairment in a future period if our operating results and market value continue to be negatively impacted by the challenging market conditions. 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 increased to $137.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from $113.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Including sales volume associated with OVH products, sales volume for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, measured as pounds shipped to customers, increased by 1.1% in comparison to sales volume for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to price increases due to higher commodity costs. The sales volume increase primarily was driven by a volume increase in the consumer distribution channel, which was attributable to sales of OVH products. Before considering the sales of OVH products, net sales would have increased by 10.8%, and sales volume would have declined by 5.9% in the quarterly comparison.

Our net sales increased to $507.8 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 from $420.1 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. Including sales volume associated with OVH products, sales volume for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 increased by 4.8% in comparison to sales volume for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The increase in net sales was attributable primarily to price increases implemented in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011. As was the case in the quarterly comparison, the sales volume increase in the year to date comparison primarily was driven by a volume increase in the consumer distribution channel. The increase in sales volume in the consumer channel was attributable to sales of OVH products and increases in sales of all other major products except peanut products. Before considering the sales of OVH products, net sales would have increased by 11.4%, and sales volume would have declined by 1.6% in the thirty-nine week comparison.

Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 12.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to 7.3% for the current quarter. The gross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 declined primarily because the implementation of price increases was not completed until the end of February while acquisition costs of tree nuts were significantly higher throughout the entire quarter. Increased global demand for tree nuts was the primary driver for the increase in acquisition costs. Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2011also was reduced by $0.7 million for the relocation of the OVH Modesto, CA facility to the Gustine, CA and Elgin, IL facilities while the gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was reduced by $0.4 million for a supplier recall related to black pepper.

The current year to date gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 16.7% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2010 to 11.4%. The decrease in the gross profit margins was almost entirely attributable to significantly higher acquisition costs for tree nuts to the extent that they were not offset by price increases implemented during those periods.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 included $1.5 million accrued for the cost of an anticipated settlement of a pending legal matter, $0.5 million related to amortization of OVH intangible assets and $0.3 million for the loss related to the write-down of certain OVH machinery and equipment resulting from the relocation of the OVH facility. The increases in these expenses were offset in part by (i) $0.5 million for the estimated forfeiture of amounts previously accrued for incentive compensation due to current year performance, and (ii) $0.3 million reduction in the accrued liability for estimated costs related to the pistachio recall that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Total operating expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 included $2.6 million accrued for the cost of an anticipated settlement of a pending legal matter, $1.5 million for an increase in the projected earn-out payments related to the OVH acquisition, $1.5 million related to amortization of OVH intangible assets and $0.7 million for the loss related to the write-off of certain OVH machinery and equipment. The increases in these expenses were offset in part by (i) $2.0 million for the estimated forfeiture of amounts previously accrued for incentive compensation due to current year performance, and (ii) $0.3 million for the reduction in the liability related to the pistachio recall and a $1.1 million receipt of compensation from the pistachio supplier for the costs associated with that recall.

We successfully integrated OVH’s information systems into our information systems during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We continue to integrate all OVH activities with the rest of our business with the goal of achieving the greatest efficiencies possible. We relocated all OVH processing from its original Modesto, California location to our locations in Gustine, California and Elgin, Illinois. No material adverse impact has occurred or is anticipated to occur from this integration. Going forward, we expect to realize certain efficiencies through continuing our integration efforts.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 33.3% in dollars and 9.7% in volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding OVH sales, sales volume decreased by 3.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Private label consumer sales volume increased by 11.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to OVH business. Excluding OVH business, private label consumer sales volume decreased by 0.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Fisher brand sales volume decreased by 9.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Marginal increases in Fisher baking nut business were offset by decreases in Fisher snack nut and Fisher peanut butter business.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 26.3% in dollars and 9.0% in volume in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. Sales volume would have decreased slightly if OVH sales were excluded. Private label consumer sales volume increased by 7.6% in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010 due to OVH business. Fisher brand sales volume decreased by 3.8% in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010, primarily due to lower Fisher snack nut and Fisher peanut butter business.

Net sales in the industrial distribution channel increased by 5.0% in dollars, but decreased 25.9% in sales volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net sales in the industrial distribution channel increased by 15.4% in dollars, but decreased 12.2% in sales volume in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The sales volume decrease, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week comparisons, is primarily due to lower pecan and walnut sales mainly from a limited supply of pecans and walnuts available for the industrial distribution channel and lower peanut sales to other peanut processors.

Net sales in the food service distribution channel increased by 5.3% in dollars, but decreased 3.2% in volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net sales in the food service distribution channel increased by 18.4% in dollars and 6.7% in volume in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the

first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The sales volume decrease for the quarterly comparison is primarily due to a lower supply of almonds, pecans and walnuts available to sell through the food service distribution channel. The sales volume increase for the thirty-nine week comparison is primarily due to higher peanut butter sales at food service distributors.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 9.7% in dollars and 5.9% in volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 15.6% in dollars and 12.8% in volume in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The sales volume increase, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week comparisons, is due to increased business with our major contract packaging customer.

Net sales in the export distribution channel increased by 9.7% in dollars, but decreased 1.0% in volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net sales in the export distribution channel decreased by 6.0% in dollars and 8.1% in volume in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The decrease in sales volume, for both the quarterly and thirty-nine week comparisons, is due primarily to lost business at a major export retail customer.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 12.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to 7.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The gross profit margin for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 11.4% from 16.7% for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The decrease in the gross profit margins in the quarterly and thirty-nine week comparisons was almost entirely attributable to significantly higher acquisition costs for tree nuts, to the extent that they were not offset by price increases implemented during those periods. Price increases were not fully implemented until the end of February during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Increased global demand for tree nuts was the primary driver for the increase in acquisition costs. The decrease in gross profit margins for the thirty-nine week comparison is also due to lower gross profit margins on sales of walnuts and pecans because of the need to purchase high cost shelled walnuts and pecans in the spot market during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The prices for shelled walnuts and pecans during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were unusually high due to low inventories in the industry. Shelled walnut purchases were made during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to supply an increase in sales volume with existing customers that in many cases exceeded forecasted volume by a considerable amount. Shelled pecan purchases were made during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to supply new pecan business that started shipping in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and to supplement a shortfall in inshell pecan purchases from the 2009 crop due to the unprecedented amount of inshell pecans that were exported to China. The purchase of shelled walnuts and shelled pecans described in the preceding two sentences were generally made at prices that exceeded or were almost equal to the price at which we sold the products to our customers, which negatively impacted our gross profit margins. Gross profit margins also declined on sales of cashews because of significantly higher acquisition costs.

Operating Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased to 12.8% of net sales from 13.2% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Selling expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $11.0 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 27.3%, over the amount recorded for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Quarterly increases in selling expenses related to freight costs of $1.7 million and marketing and promotional activities of $0.7 million were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in incentive compensation expense, $0.2 million of which relates to the estimated forfeiture of amounts previously accrued for incentive compensation due to current year performance. Administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $6.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.4%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase is primarily due to (i) a $0.4 million increase in amortization related to OVH intangibles, (ii) a $1.5 million increase in litigation accruals, (iii) a $0.3 million write down of machinery and equipment related to the OVH relocation, and (iv) a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense. These increases in administrative expenses were offset by (i) a $1.2 million reduction in incentive compensation expense, $0.3 million of which relates to the estimated forfeiture of amounts previously accrued for incentive compensation due to current year performance, and (ii) a $0.6 million reduction in recall related expenses, $0.3 million of which relates to eliminating the accrual associated with the 2009 pistachio recall.

Selling and administrative expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 decreased to 10.2% of net sales from 11.1% of net sales for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. Selling expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 were $33.0 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 13.0%, over the amount recorded for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. Increases in selling expenses related to (i) compensation expense of $0.6 million, (ii) freight costs of $3.2 million, and (iii) marketing and promotional expenses of $1.0 million, which were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in incentive compensation expense, $0.6 million of which relates to the estimated forfeiture of amounts previously accrued for incentive compensation due to current year performance. Administrative expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 were $19.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 10.0% from the first

thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. This increase is primarily due to (i) a $1.5 million increase in the projected earn-out payments related to the OVH acquisition, (ii) a $1.4 million increase in amortization related to OVH intangibles, (iii) a $2.6 million increase in litigation accruals, (iv) a $0.7 million write down of machinery and equipment related to the OVH relocation, and (v) a $0.7 million increase in compensation expense. These increases in administrative expenses were offset by (i) a $1.1 million settlement related to the fiscal 2009 pistachio recall and (ii) a $4.0 million reduction in incentive compensation expense, $1.3 million of which relates to the estimated forfeiture of amounts previously accrued for incentive compensation due to current year performance.

(Loss) Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, loss from operations increased to ($7.6) million, or (5.5%) of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from ($1.4) million, or (1.2%) of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased to $5.8 million, or 1.1% of net sales, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 from $23.7 million, or 5.6% of net sales, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Interest expense was $4.7 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to $4.2 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The increase in interest expense in both the quarterly and thirty-nine week comparisons resulted from higher average short-term debt levels during both periods, which were driven by significantly higher acquisition costs for tree nuts.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.3 million for both the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.8 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to $0.9 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. The reduction in net expense was due to a $0.1 million increase in rental income for space at the office building on the Elgin Site.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax benefit was ($3.9) million, or (41.0%) of loss before income taxes, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to ($1.2) million, or (37.7%) of loss before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Income tax benefit was ($0.4) million, or (159.8%) of income before income taxes, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to income tax expense of $6.9 million, or 37.2% of income before income taxes for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. We recorded approximately $470 of discrete tax benefits during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Consequently, we recognized a $385 income tax benefit for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 24, 2011 despite reporting income before income taxes of $241. The discrete tax items relate to the following: (i) $78 of net tax benefit primarily related to favorable adjustments for research and development and other state credits than was previously estimated in our prior year tax provision, offset by other unfavorable provision adjustments; (ii) $180 of tax benefit related to release of state valuation allowance due to change in state law and our expected utilization of state investment tax credits; (iii) $74 of tax benefit due to favorable resolution of state tax audit; and (iv) $138 of state tax benefit related to out of period adjustment for excess state tax over book depreciation available in future periods.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss was ($5.6) million, or ($0.53) per common share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to ($1.9) million, or ($0.18) per common share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.06 per common share (basic and diluted), for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011, compared to $11.7 million, or $1.10 per common share (basic) and $1.09 per common share (diluted), for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Strategic Plan, repay indebtedness and pay contingent earn-out liabilities. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Facility (as defined below). 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. The increase in our available credit under our Credit Facility due to our improved financial performance in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 allowed us to consummate the OVH acquisition, devote more funds to promote our products, especially our Fisher brand, and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan, including further acquisitions. The consummation of any future acquisitions would generally require the approval of our lenders under the Credit Facility. The decrease in our operating results during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to increased commodity costs, especially for pecans and other tree nuts. While our fiscal 2011 operating results have negatively impacted our current financial position, we remain committed to our Strategic Plan (as defined above) and delivering long-term profitable growth.

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 we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

Net cash used in operating activities was ($31.4) million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.7 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. This decrease of $48.1 million is primarily due to an approximately 57% increase in the weighted average purchase cost for tree nuts for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010.

We repaid $3.5 million of long-term debt during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011, $2.3 million of which was related to the Mortgage Facility (as defined below). The net increase in our Credit Facility was $32.4 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to a net decrease of $8.9 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. This increase in short-term borrowings was primarily due to the significant increase in our weighted average purchase cost for tree nuts.

Total inventories were $158.0 million at March 24, 2011, an increase of $43.7 million, or 38.2%, from the inventory balance at June 24, 2010, and an increase of $33.5 million, or 26.9%, from the inventory balance at March 25, 2010. The increase from June 24, 2010 to March 24, 2011 is primarily due to significantly higher commodity costs and by higher quantities on hand due to the timing of crop receipts. The 26.9% increase from March 25, 2010 to March 24, 2011 occurred (despite a 10.1% reduction in pounds in inventory) again due to significantly higher commodity costs. The reduction in pounds in inventory occurred despite the need to carry additional inventories to support the production of OVH products.

Net accounts receivable were $39.9 million at March 24, 2011, virtually unchanged from the balance at June 24, 2010, and an increase of $4.8 million, or 13.8%, from the balance at March 25, 2010. The increase in net accounts receivable from March 25, 2010 to March 24, 2011 is due to higher sales in March 2011 compared to March 2010, which was largely due to OVH sales and higher average selling prices. Accounts receivable allowances were $4.1 million, $2.1 million and $3.1 million at March 24, 2011, June 24, 2010 and March 25, 2010, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable allowances at March 24, 2011 compared to June 24, 2010 and March 25, 2010 generally corresponds to the higher monthly sales in March 2011 compared to June 2010 and March 2010.

Current economic conditions may continue to adversely impact demand for consumer products. These conditions could, among other things, have a material adverse effect on the cash received from our operations. See Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

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 leased 41.5% of the office building back to the seller for a three year period which ended in April 2008. The seller did not exercise its option to renew its lease and vacated the office building. Accordingly, we are currently attempting to find replacement tenant(s) for the space that was rented by the seller of the Elgin Site. Until replacement tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 75% 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.

On March 28, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Properties, LLC acquired title by quitclaim deed to the site that was originally purchased in Elgin, Illinois (the “Old Elgin Site”) for our facility consolidation project and JBSS Properties, LLC entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the City of Elgin (the “City”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the City assigned to us the City’s remaining rights and obligations under a development agreement entered into by and among our Company, certain related party partnerships and the City (the “Development Agreement”). We subsequently entered into a sales contract with a potential buyer of the Old Elgin Site. The sales contract was terminated as the potential buyer was unable to secure financing. While the Old Elgin Site is available for sale and we are currently actively searching for new potential buyers, we cannot ensure that a sale will occur in the next twelve months. The Mortgage Facility is secured, in part, by the Old Elgin Site. We must obtain the consent of the Mortgage Lender (as defined below) prior to the sale of the Old Elgin Site. A portion of the Old Elgin Site contains an office building (which we began renting during the third quarter of fiscal 2007) that may or may not be included in any future sale. Our total costs under the Development Agreement were $6.8 million as of March 24, 2011, June 24, 2010 and March 25, 2010, (i) $5.6 million of which is recorded as a component of “Property, Plant and Equipment”, and (ii) $1.2 million of which is recorded as “Rental Investment Property”. We have reviewed the assets under the Development Agreement that are available for sale for potential impairment and concluded that the current fair value is not less than the carrying value.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). 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 and Mortgage Facility replaced our prior revolving credit facility and long-term financing facility. We currently expect to be in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and we currently have full access to our new financing.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than 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”). The encumbered Elgin, Illinois real property includes almost all of the Old Elgin Site that was purchased prior to the Elgin Site purchase.

On March 8, 2010, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment modified the Credit Facility to permit us to make acquisitions, subject to restrictions on the amount that can be spent on acquisitions during the term of the Credit Facility and meeting specified other criterion including loan availability levels and pro forma financial covenant compliance. In addition, the First Amendment alters the borrowing base calculation, which is based upon accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment (the “Borrowing Base Calculation”), to allow us increased availability from inventory under the Credit Facility during January, February, March, October, November and December, which are the months in which our Company purchases most of its inventory.

The Credit Facility matures on February 7, 2013. At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility 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 0.00% to 0.50% or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based upon the Borrowing Base Calculation, ranging from 2.50% to 3.00%. The face amount of undrawn letters of credit accrues interest at a rate of 2.00% to 2.50%, based upon the Borrowing Base Calculation. The portion of the Borrowing Base Calculation based upon machinery and equipment decreases by $1.5 million per year for the first five years to coincide with amortization of the machinery and equipment collateral. As of March 24, 2011, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.87%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, capital expenditures, and certain sales of assets, cash dividends, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of subordinate debt). If loan availability under the Borrowing Base Calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders are entitled to require 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 our Company, non-compliance with the financial covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of March 24, 2011, 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. As of March 24, 2011, we had $44.6 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.

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, 2012 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, 2010, at a floating rate of the greater of (i) one month LIBOR plus 5.50% per annum or (ii) 6.50%, 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 Facility is secured, in part, by the Old Elgin Site. We must obtain the consent of the Mortgage Lender prior to the sale of the Old Elgin Site. A portion of the Old Elgin Site contains an office building (which we began renting during the third quarter of fiscal 2007) that may or may not be included in any future sale (assuming one were to occur). 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 March 24, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and therefore $26.8 million has been classified as long-term debt as of March 24, 2011. This $26.8 million represents scheduled principal payments due under Tranche A beyond twelve months of March 24, 2011.

As of March 24, 2011, we had $4.3 million in aggregate principal amount of industrial development bonds (the “bonds”) outstanding, which was originally used to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of our Bainbridge, Georgia facility. The bonds bear interest payable semiannually at 4.55% (which was reset on June 1, 2006) through May 2011. On June 1, 2011, and on each subsequent interest reset date for the bonds, we are required to redeem the bonds at face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest, unless a bondholder elects to retain his, her or its bonds. Any of the bonds redeemed by us at the demand of a bondholder on the reset date are required to be remarketed by the underwriter of the bonds on a “best efforts” basis. Funds for the redemption of the bonds on the demand of any bondholder are required to be obtained from the following sources in the following order of priority: (i) funds supplied by us for redemption; (ii) proceeds from the remarketing of the bonds; (iii) proceeds from a drawing under the bonds’ Letter of Credit held by the Bank Lenders (the “IDB Letter of Credit”); or (iv) in the event that funds from the foregoing sources are insufficient, a mandatory payment by us. Drawings under the IDB Letter of Credit to redeem the bonds on the demand of any bondholder are payable in full by us upon demand by the Bank Lenders. In addition, we are required to redeem the bonds in varying annual installments, ranging from $0.5 million in fiscal 2011 to $0.8 million in fiscal 2017. We are also required to redeem the bonds in certain other circumstances (for example, within 180 days after any determination that interest on the bonds is taxable). We have the option, subject to certain conditions, to redeem the bonds at face value plus accrued interest, if any. While we expect to remarket the bonds as of June 1, 2011, the entire aggregate balance of $4.3 million is classified as a current liability as of March 24, 2011 since the bonds may be payable at the interest reset date of June 1, 2011.

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 have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the partnerships after five years 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 therefore the financing obligation is being accounted for similarly to the accounting for a capital lease, whereby $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of March 24, 2011, $13.2 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.

Capital Expenditures

We spent $3.8 million on capital expenditures during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 compared to $6.1 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2010. We expect total capital expenditures for equipment upgrades, facility maintenance and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2011 to be approximately $6.0 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 cash requirements for capital expenditures.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this report that are not historical (including statements concerning our Company’s expectations regarding market risk) are “forward looking statements.” These forward-looking statements may be generally identified by the use of forward-looking words and phrases such as “will”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “may”, “believes”, and “expects” and are based on our current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties. Our Company cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors, including the factors referred to in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”, and other factors, risks and uncertainties that are beyond our Company’s control. Consequently, our actual results could differ materially. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where expressly required to do so by law. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially from current expectations are: (i) the risks associated with our vertically integrated model with respect to pecans, peanuts and walnuts; (ii) sales activity for our products, including a decline in sales to one or more key customers; (iii) changes in the availability and costs of raw materials and the impact of fixed price commitments with customers; (iv) any negative impact of our increased product prices on the demand for or sales of our products; (v) the ability to measure and estimate bulk inventory, fluctuations in the value and quantity of our nut inventories due to fluctuations in the market prices of nuts and bulk inventory estimation adjustments, respectively, and decreases in the value of inventory held for other entities, where we are financially responsible for such losses; (vi) our ability to lessen the negative impact of competitive and pricing pressures; (vii) losses associated with product recalls or the potential for lost sales or product liability if customers lose confidence in the safety of our products or in nuts or nut products in general, or are harmed as a result of using our products; (viii) our ability to retain key personnel; (ix) the effect of the group that owns the majority of our voting securities (which may make a takeover or change in control more difficult), including the effect of the agreements pursuant to which such group has pledged a substantial amount of our Company’s securities that it owns; (x) the potential negative impact of government regulations, including the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act and laws and regulations pertaining to food safety; (xi) our ability to do business in emerging markets; (xii) uncertainty in economic conditions, including the potential for another economic downturn; (xiii) our ability to obtain additional capital, if needed; (xiv) the risk that expected synergies, operational efficiencies and cost savings from the OVH acquisition may not be fully realized or realized within the expected timeframe and the risk that unexpected liabilities may arise from the OVH acquisition; (xv) the timing and occurrence (or nonoccurrence) of other transactions and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond our control; (xvi) the adverse effect of increased employment-related legal claims against us, which have become more prevalent in the current economic environment, including potential unfavorable outcomes exceeding amounts accrued.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk since our presentation set forth in Part I — Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 24, 2011. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 24, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In connection with the evaluation by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 24, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see “Note 12—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report on Form 10-Q, you should also consider the factors, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our Company’s business, financial condition or future results as discussed in Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010. There were no significant changes to the risk factors identified on the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2010 during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2011 other than the following:

Litigation Could Adversely Affect Us by Increasing Our Expenses or Subjecting Us to Significant Money Damages and Other Remedies

We are currently involved in employment and labor-related litigation, and may become the subject of additional litigation in the future, as these types of lawsuits, including the lawsuit to which we are currently a party, have become more prevalent in the current economic environment. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits often seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to such lawsuits is difficult to accurately estimate. Regardless of whether any claims against us are valid, or whether we are ultimately held liable, such litigation may be expensive to defend and may divert time and money away from our operations and hurt our performance. A judgment or settlement for significant monetary damages could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Any adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may also adversely affect our reputation, which in turn could adversely affect our results.

We Cannot Control the Availability or Cost of Raw Materials and this May Have an Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations, Cash Flows and Financial Condition

The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of our products, including peanuts, pecans, almonds, walnuts and other nuts are subject to crop size and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond our control, such as weather conditions, natural disasters (including floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes and hurricanes), plant diseases, other factors affecting global supply, changes in global customer demand, changes in government programs and purchasing behavior of certain countries, including China. Additionally, any determination by the USDA or other government agencies that certain pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals used by growers have left harmful residues on portions of the crop or that the crop has been contaminated by aflatoxin or other agents or any future product recalls could reduce the supply of edible nuts and other raw materials used in our products and could cause our costs to increase.

Because these raw materials are commodities, their prices are set by the market and can fluctuate quickly and dramatically due to varied events, as described above. Furthermore, we are not able to hedge against changes in commodity prices because no appropriate futures or other market exists. Consequently, in order to achieve or maintain profitability levels, there is pressure to increase the prices of our products to reflect the increase in the costs of the raw materials that we use. However, we may not be successful in passing along the full price increase to our customers, if at all, and we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion. Additionally, any such product price increase that we are able to pass along to our customers may ultimately reduce the demand for our products. Any one or more of the foregoing aspects may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Moreover, fluctuations in the market prices of nuts may affect the value of our inventories and profitability. We have significant inventories of nuts that would be adversely affected by any decrease in the market price of such raw materials.
