Note 4 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133 and SFAS No. 138", "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", is effective for fiscal
2001.  SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded
on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the
fair value of a derivative depends on the use of the derivative.  Based
on the Company's current portfolio, the adoption of this statement did
not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
and, due to the nature of the Company's business, is not expected to
have a material effect in the foreseeable future.

Note 5 - Management's Statement
-------------------------------
The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company.  In the opinion of the Company's management, these
statements present fairly the consolidated statements of operations,
consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows,
and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, 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 data presented on the balance sheet for the fiscal year ended June
29, 2000 were derived from audited financial statements.  It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
1999 Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended June 29, 2000.





Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------

General
-------
The Company's business is seasonal.  Demand for peanut and other nut
products is highest during the months of October through December.
Peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds and cashews, the Company's principal
raw materials, are purchased primarily during the period from August to
February and are processed throughout the year.  As a result of this
seasonality, the Company's personnel and working capital requirements
peak during the last four months of the calendar year.  Also, due
primarily to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the Company
maintains significant inventories of peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds
and other nuts at certain times of the year, especially during the
second and third quarters of the Company's fiscal year.  Fluctuations in
the market prices of such nuts may affect the value of the Company's
inventory and thus the Company's profitability.  At September 28, 2000,
the Company's inventories totaled approximately $98.0 million compared
to approximately $105.8 million at June 29, 2000, and approximately
$75.9 million at September 23, 1999.  The increase in inventories at
September 28, 2000 when compared to September 23, 1999 is primarily due
to increased levels of pecans on hand because of higher purchases in the
1999 crop year when compared to the preceding year due to a larger crop
size.  This increase in inventories is partially offset by lower levels
of peanuts on hand due to the 2000 crop year peanuts being harvested
later in the year compared to 1999.  See "Factors That May Affect Future
Results -- Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations."

The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year,
and references herein to "fiscal" years are to the fiscal years ended in
the indicated calendar year (for example, "fiscal 2001" refers to the
Company's fiscal year ending June 28, 2001).  The Company's fiscal year
typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters).
Fiscal 2001 will consist of fifty-two weeks, whereas fiscal 2000
consisted of fifty-three weeks, as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000
consisted of fourteen, rather than thirteen, weeks.

Results of Operations
---------------------
Net Sales.  Net sales increased from approximately $79.5 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 to approximately $87.2 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2001, an increase of approximately $7.7 million,
or 9.6%.  The increase was due primarily to higher unit volume sales to
the Company's industrial and retail customers.  The increase in retail
sales was due primarily to higher unit volume sales of private label
products.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2001
increased approximately 14.5% to approximately $14.4 million from
approximately $12.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  Gross
profit margin increased from approximately 15.8% for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 to approximately 16.5% for the first quarter of fiscal
2001.  The increase in gross profit margin for the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 was due primarily to the absorption of manufacturing
expenses, a substantial portion of which are fixed in nature, over a
larger revenue base.

Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased from approximately 12.3%
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to approximately 11.9% for the
first quarter of fiscal 2001.  Selling expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased from approximately 10.1% for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 to approximately 9.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This
decrease was due primarily to absorbing selling expenses over a larger
revenue base. Administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased from approximately 2.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
to approximately 2.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase
in administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the
quarterly period was due primarily to increases in employee benefit
costs due to improved operating results.

Income from Operations.  Due to the factors discussed above, income from
operations increased from approximately $2.8 million, or 3.5% of net
sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, to approximately $4.0
million, or 4.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased from approximately $1.9
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to approximately $2.1
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase in quarterly
interest expense was due primarily to higher average interest rates
associated with the Bank Credit Facility, as defined below.

Income Taxes.  The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately
$0.8 million, or 40.0% of income before income taxes, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to approximately $0.4 million, or 40.0%
of income before income taxes, for the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company continued to
finance its activities through a bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit
Facility"), $35.0 million borrowed under a long-term financing facility
originally entered into by the Company in 1992 (the "Long-Term Financing
Facility") and $25.0 million borrowed on September 12, 1995 under a
long-term financing arrangement (the "Additional Long-Term Financing").

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $16.1
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to approximately
$16.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  During the first
quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company spent approximately $2.7 million in
capital expenditures, compared to approximately $1.2 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000.  This increase was due primarily to the
addition of processing lines at the Company's facilities.  During each
of the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, the Company repaid
approximately $2.7 million of long-term debt.

The Bank Credit Facility is comprised of (i) a working capital revolving
loan, which provides for working capital financing of up to
approximately $62.3 million, in the aggregate, and matures on May 31,
2003, and (ii) a letter of credit of approximately $7.7 million to
secure the industrial development bonds, which matures on June 1, 2002.
Borrowings under the working capital revolving loan accrue interest at a
rate (the weighted average of which was 8.07% at September 28, 2000)
determined pursuant to a formula based on the agent bank's quoted rate
and the Eurodollar Interbank rate.

Of the total $35.0 million of borrowings under the Long-Term Financing
Facility, $25.0 million matures on August 15, 2004, bears interest rates
ranging from 7.34% to 9.18% per annum payable quarterly, and requires
equal semi-annual principal installments based on a ten-year
amortization schedule.  The remaining $10.0 million of this indebtedness
matures on May 15, 2006, bears interest at the rate of 9.16% per annum
payable quarterly, and requires equal semi-annual principal installments
based on a ten-year amortization schedule.  As of September 28, 2000,
the total principal amount outstanding under the Long-Term Financing
Facility was approximately $16.0 million.

The Additional Long-Term Financing has a maturity date of September 1,
2005 and (i) as to $10.0 million of the principal amount thereof, bears
interest at an annual rate of 8.3% payable semiannually and requires
annual principal payments of approximately $1.4 million each through
maturity, and (ii) as to the other $15.0 million of the principal amount
thereof, bears interest at an annual rate of 9.38% payable semiannually
and requires principal payments of $5.0 million each on September 1,
2003 and September 1, 2004, with a final payment of $5.0 million at
maturity on September 1, 2005. As of September 28, 2000, the total
principal amount outstanding under the Additional Long-Term Financing
was approximately $22.1 million.

The terms of the Company's financing facilities, as amended, include
certain restrictive covenants that, among other things: (i) require the
Company to maintain specified financial ratios; (ii) limit the Company's
annual capital expenditures; and (iii) require that Jasper B. Sanfilippo
(the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer) and
Mathias A. Valentine (a director and the Company's President) together
with their respective immediate family members and certain trusts
created for the benefit of their respective sons and daughters, continue
to own shares representing the right to elect a majority of the
directors of the Company.  In addition, (i) the Long-Term Financing
Facility limits the Company's payment of dividends to a cumulative
amount not to exceed 25% of the Company's cumulative net income from and
after January 1, 1996, (ii) the Additional Long-Term Financing limits
cumulative dividends to the sum of (a) 50% of the Company's cumulative
net income (or minus 100% of the Company's cumulative net loss) from and
after January 1, 1995 to the date the dividend is declared, (b) the
cumulative amount of the net proceeds received by the Company during the
same period from any sale of its capital stock, and (c) $5.0 million,
and (iii) the Bank Credit Facility limits dividends to the lesser of (a)
25% of net income for the previous fiscal year, or (b) $5.0 million and
prohibits the Company from redeeming shares of capital stock.  As of
September 28, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive
covenants under its financing facilities.

As of September 28, 2000, the Company had approximately $29.3 million of
available credit under the Bank Credit Facility.  Approximately $2.7
million was incurred on capital expenditures for the first quarter of
fiscal 2001.  The Company believes that capital expenditures for fiscal
2001 will be more substantial than in recent years with the planned
expansion of its walnut shelling operations at the Gustine, California
facility.  The Company expects to remain in compliance with all
restrictive covenants regarding capital expenditures under its financing
facilities.  The Company believes that cash flow from operating
activities and funds available under the Bank Credit Facility (assuming
the Company maintains compliance with the restrictive covenants under
the Bank Credit Facility currently in effect, or, in the event of any
subsequent non-compliance, is able to obtain any necessary waivers) will
be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated
capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133 and SFAS No. 138", "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", is effective for fiscal
2001.  SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded
on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the
fair value of a derivative depends on the use of the derivative.  Based
on the Company's current portfolio, the adoption of this statement did
not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
and, due to the nature of the Company's business, is not expected to
have a material effect in the foreseeable future.

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------
The statements contained in this filing which are not historical
(including statements concerning the Company's expectations regarding
market risk) are "forward looking statements".  These forward looking
statements, which are generally identified by the use of forward looking
words and phrases such as "intend", "may", "believes" and "expects",
represent the Company's present expectations or beliefs concerning
future events.  The Company cautions that such statements are qualified
by important factors, including the factors described below under
"Factors That May Affect Future Results", that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements, as well as the timing and occurrence (or nonoccurrence) of
transactions and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond the
Company's control.  Consequently, results actually achieved may differ
materially from the expected results included in these statements.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
--------------------------------------
(a)  Availability of Raw Materials and Market Price Fluctuations
----------------------------------------------------------------
The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of the
Company's products, including peanuts, pecans and other nuts are subject
to crop size and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond the
Company's control, such as weather conditions and plant diseases.
Additionally, the supply of edible nuts and other raw materials used in
the Company's products could be reduced upon any determination by the
United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") or other government
agency 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.  Shortages in
the supply of and increases in the prices of nuts and other raw
materials used by the Company in its products could have an adverse
impact on the Company's profitability. Furthermore, fluctuations in the
market prices of nuts may affect the value of the Company's inventories
and the Company's profitability. The Company has significant inventories
of nuts that would be adversely affected by any decrease in the market
price of such raw materials.  See "General" .

(b) Competitive Environment
---------------------------
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment.  The Company's
principal products compete against food and snack products manufactured
and sold by numerous regional and national companies, some of which are
substantially larger and have greater resources than the Company, such
as Planters (which has recently agreed to be acquired by Philip Morris
Companies Inc. and may be combined with Kraft Foods, Inc.) and Ralcorp
Holdings, Inc.  The Company also competes with other shellers in the
industrial market and with regional processors in the retail and
wholesale markets.  In order to maintain or increase its market share,
the Company must continue to price its products competitively, which may
lower revenue per unit and cause declines in gross margin, if the
Company is unable to increase unit volumes as well as reduce its costs.

(c) Fixed Price Commitments
---------------------------
From time to time, the Company enters into fixed price commitments with
its customers.  Such commitments typically represent approximately 10%
of the Company's annual net sales and are normally entered into after
the Company's cost to acquire the nut products necessary to satisfy the
fixed price commitment is substantially fixed.  However, the Company
expects to continue to enter into fixed price commitments with respect
to certain of its nut products prior to fixing its acquisition cost
when, in management's judgment, market or crop harvest conditions so
warrant.  To the extent the Company does so, these fixed price
commitments may result in losses.  Historically, such losses have
generally been offset by gains on other fixed price commitments.
However, there can be no assurance that losses from fixed price
commitments may not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations.

(d) Federal Regulation of Peanut Prices, Quotas and Poundage Allotments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Peanuts are an important part of the Company's product line.
Approximately 50% of the total poundage of products processed annually
by the Company are peanuts, peanut butter and other products containing
peanuts.  The production and marketing of peanuts are regulated by the
USDA under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (the "Agricultural
Adjustment Act").  The Agricultural Adjustment Act, and regulations
promulgated thereunder, support the peanut crop by: (i) limiting peanut
imports; (ii) limiting the amount of peanuts that American farmers are
allowed to take to the domestic market each year; and (iii) setting a
minimum price that a sheller must pay for peanuts which may be sold for
domestic consumption. The amount of peanuts that American farmers can
sell each year is determined by the Secretary of Agriculture and is
based upon the prior year's peanut consumption in the United States.
Only peanuts that qualify under the quota may be sold for domestic food
products and seed. The peanut quota for the 2000 crop year is
approximately 1.2 million tons.  Peanuts in excess of the quota are
called "additional peanuts" and generally may only be exported or used
domestically for crushing into oil or meal.  Current regulations permit
additional peanuts to be domestically processed and exported as finished
goods to any foreign country.  The quota support price for the 2000 crop
year is approximately $610 per ton.

The 1996 Farm Bill extended the federal support and subsidy program for
peanuts for seven years. However, there are no assurances that Congress
will not change or eliminate the program prior to its scheduled
expiration.  Changes in the federal peanut program could significantly
affect the supply of, and price for, peanuts.  While the Company has
successfully operated in a market shaped by the federal peanut program
for many years, the Company believes that it could adapt to a market
without federal regulation if that were to become necessary.  However,
the Company has no experience in operating in such a peanut market, and
no assurances can be given that the elimination or modification of the
federal peanut program would not adversely affect the Company's
business.  Future changes in import quota limitations or the quota
support price for peanuts at a time when the Company is maintaining a
significant inventory of peanuts or has significant outstanding purchase
commitments could adversely affect the Company's business by lowering
the market value of the peanuts in its inventory or the peanuts which it
is committed to buy.  While the Company believes that its ability to use
its raw peanut inventories in its own processing operations gives it
greater protection against these changes than is possessed by certain
competitors whose operations are limited to either shelling or
processing, no assurances can be given that future changes in, or the
elimination of, the federal peanut program or import quotas will not
adversely affect the Company's business.


Item 3 -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURESA ABOUT MARKET RISK
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has not entered into transactions using derivative financial
instruments.  The Company believes that its exposure to market risk
related to its other financial instruments (which are the debt
instruments under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources")
is not material.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
---------------------------

Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources" under Part I of this report, there are restrictive covenants
under the Company's financing facilities which limit the payment of
