The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of the Company’s snack food products are potatoes, corn, pork skin pellets, vegetable oils and seasoning.  The principal supplies used are flexible film, cartons, trays, boxes and bags.  These raw materials and supplies are generally available in adequate quantities in the open market from sources in the United States and are generally contracted up to a year in advance.

5.  
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on the first-in, first-out method.

6.  
As of October 15, 2011 all stock options expired and there are no instruments related to diluted earnings that are left outstanding.

7.  
The Company has a letter of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 outstanding at March 2, 2012 and June 3, 2011. The letter of credit supports the Company’s commercial self-insurance program.
 
 
8

 

8.  
The Company has a line-of-credit agreement with a bank that permits borrowing up to $3,000,000. The line-of-credit is subject to the Company’s continued credit worthiness and compliance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement. The Company’s line-of-credit debt as of March 2, 2012 was $1,955,004 with an interest rate of 3.50%, leaving the Company with $1,044,996 of credit availability. The Company’s line-of-credit debt as of June 3, 2011 was $1,777,567 with an interest rate of 4.00%, leaving the Company with $1,222,433 of credit availability.

9.  
The Company has a note payable with a balance of $6,200,000 as of March 2, 2012.  The loan was established as a construction loan in March 2009 to help fund the construction of a process water treatment facility.  In September 2009, the note converted to a 10-year fixed-rate note at 4.25% for $4,000,000.  In March 2011, the loan was modified by taking the remaining balance of $3,532,700 and adding another $2,900,000 to finance the purchase and implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning computer software system.  At that time, the interest rate on the loan was adjusted to 3.52% and the terms were re-established at 15 years for the repayment of the loan.  The Company has been making monthly payments on the note and intends to repay it at the earliest practicable date, as there are no prepayment penalties.

10.  
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables.

The Company maintains deposit relationships with high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company’s trade receivables result primarily from its snack food operations and reflect a broad customer base, primarily large grocery store chains located in the Southeastern United States.  The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers.  As a consequence, concentrations of credit risk are limited.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
 
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Golden Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiary as of March 2, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the thirteen week and thirty-nine week periods and fourteen and forty week periods ended March 2, 2012 and March 4, 2011, and the related condensed statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine and forty week periods ended March 2, 2012 and March 4, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 3, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated August 4, 2011 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 3, 2011, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with our recent SEC filings, including Form 10-K for the year ended June 3, 2011 and filed on August 23, 2011.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures.  Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty.  Therefore, management’s determination of estimates and judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities requires the exercise of judgment in the selection and application of assumptions based on various factors, including historical experience, current and expected economic conditions and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  We routinely evaluate our estimates including those considered significant and discussed in detail in Form 10-K for the year ended June 3, 2011.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences may be material.

Overview

The Company manufactures and distributes a full line of high quality salted snack items, such as potato chips, tortilla chips, corn chips, fried pork skins, baked and fried cheese curls, onion rings, and puff corn.  The products are all packaged in flexible bags or other suitable wrapping material.  The Company also sells canned dips, pretzels, peanut butter crackers, cheese crackers, dried meat products, and nuts packaged by other manufacturers using the Golden Flake label.

No single product or product line accounts for more than 50% of the Company’s sales, which affords some protection against loss of volume due to a crop failure of major agricultural raw materials or failure to procure an adequate supply of pork skin pellets. Raw materials used in manufacturing and processing the Company’s snack food products are purchased on the open market and under contract through brokers and directly from growers.  A large part of the raw materials used by the Company consists of farm commodities which are subject to precipitous changes in supply and price.  Weather varies from season to season and directly affects both the quality and supply of farm commodities available.  The Company has no control of the price of agricultural commodities and its profits are affected accordingly.

The Company sells its products through its own sales organization to commercial establishments that sell food products primarily in the Southeastern United States and to independent distributors.  The products are distributed through the independent distributors and route representatives who are supplied with selling inventory by the Company’s trucking fleet.  All of the route representatives are employees of the Company and use the Company’s direct-store delivery system.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 2, 2012 and June 3, 2011, working capital was $6,540,183 and $7,023,694, respectively.

The Company did not purchase shares of treasury stock this quarter.  The Company’s current ratio was 1.47 to 1.00 at March 2, 2012 compared to 1.49 to 1.00 at June 3, 2011.

Other Commitments

Available cash, cash from operations and available credit under the line-of-credit are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated cash expenditures and normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

Market Risk

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices), to which the Company is exposed, are commodity prices affecting the cost of its raw materials.

The Company is subject to market risk with respect to commodities because its ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the competitive environment in which it operates.  The Company purchases its raw materials on the open market and under contract through brokers or directly from growers.  Future contracts have been used occasionally to hedge immaterial amounts of commodity purchases, but none are presently being used.

Inflation

Certain costs and expenses of the Company are affected by inflation. The Company’s prices for its products over the past several years have remained relatively flat.  The Company will contend with the effect of further inflation through efficient purchasing, improved manufacturing methods, pricing and by monitoring and controlling expenses.

Environmental Matters

There have been no material effects of compliance with governmental provisions regulating discharge of materials into the environment.

Subsequent Events
