PART I
ITEM 1 -- BUSINESS
a. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
(i) BACKGROUND
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the "Company" or "JBSS") was
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. As used herein, unless the context
otherwise indicates, the terms "Company" or "JBSS" refer
collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., its Illinois
predecessor corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
including Sunshine Nut Co., Inc. ("Sunshine"). See Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2000
Annual Report to Stockholders. On June 25, 1999 the Company
dissolved two (Sunshine and Quantz Acquisition Co., Inc.) of its
three wholly owned subsidiaries and merged such subsidiaries into
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. References herein to fiscal 2000
are to the fiscal year ended June 29, 2000. References herein to
fiscal 1999 are to the fiscal year ended June 24, 1999. References
herein to fiscal 1998 are to the fiscal year ended June 25, 1998.
The Company is a processor, packager, marketer and distributor of
shelled and inshell nuts. These nuts are sold under a variety of
private labels and under the Company's Evon's, Fisher, Flavor
Tree, Sunshine Country, Texas Pride and Tom Scott brand names.
The Company also markets and distributes, and in most cases
manufactures or processes, a diverse product line of food and
snack items, including peanut butter, candy and confections,
natural snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, corn snacks,
sesame sticks and other sesame snack products.
The Company's headquarters and executive offices are located at
2299 Busse Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007, and its
telephone number for investor relations is (847) 593-2300,
extension 212.
b. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(i) GENERAL
The Company is a processor, packager, marketer and distributor of
shelled and inshell nuts. The Company also markets and
distributes, and, in most cases manufactures or processes, a
diverse product line of food and snack items including peanut
butter, candy and confections, natural snacks and trail mixes,
sunflower seeds, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack
products.
(ii) PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
(A) Raw and Processed Nuts
The Company's principal products are raw and processed nuts. These
products accounted for approximately 86.3%, 84.5% and 85.9% of the
Company's gross sales for fiscal 2000, fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998, respectively. The nut product line includes peanuts,
almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, pistachios, filberts, cashews,
English walnuts, black walnuts, pine nuts and macadamia nuts. The
Company's nut products are sold in numerous package styles and
sizes, from poly-cellophane packages, composite cans, vacuum
packed tins, plastic jars and glass jars for retail sales, to
large cases and sacks for bulk sales to industrial, food service
and government customers. In addition, the Company offers its nut
products in a variety of different styles and seasonings,
including natural (with skins), blanched (without skins), oil
roasted, dry roasted, unsalted, honey roasted, butter toffee,
praline and cinnamon toasted. The Company sells its products
domestically to retailers and wholesalers as well as to
industrial, food service and government customers. The Company
also sells certain of its products to foreign customers in the
retail, food service and industrial markets.
The Company acquires a substantial portion of its peanut, pecan,
almond and walnut requirements directly from domestic growers.
The balance of the Company's raw nut supply is purchased from
importers and domestic processors. In fiscal 2000, the majority
of the Company's peanuts, pecans and walnuts were shelled by the
Company at its four shelling facilities while the remainder were
purchased shelled from processors and growers. See "Raw Materials
and Supplies" and Item 2 -- "Properties -- Manufacturing
Capability, Technology and Engineering" below.
(B) Peanut Butter
The Company manufactures and markets peanut butter in several
sizes and varieties, including creamy, crunchy and natural.
Peanut butter accounted for approximately 3.8%, 4.4% and 4.3% of
the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2000, fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998, respectively. Approximately 2.3% of the Company's peanut
butter products was sold during each of fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998 to the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") and
other government agencies, with the remaining percentage sold
under private labels.
(C) Candy and Confections
The Company markets and distributes a wide assortment of candy and
confections, including such items as wrapped hard candy, gummies,
ju-ju's, brand name candies, chocolate peanut butter cups, peanut
clusters, pecan patties and sugarless candies. Candy and
confections accounted for approximately 2.8%, 2.8% and 3.8% of the
Company's gross sales for fiscal 2000, fiscal 1999 and fiscal
1998, respectively. Most of these products are purchased from
various candy manufacturers and sold to retailers in bulk or
retail packages under private labels or the Evon's brand.
(D) Other Products
The Company also markets and distributes, and in many cases
processes and manufactures, a wide assortment of other food and
snack products. These products accounted for approximately 7.1%,
8.3% and 6.0% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2000, fiscal
1999 and fiscal 1998, respectively. These other products include:
natural snacks, trail mixes and chocolate and yogurt coated
products sold to retailers and wholesalers; baking ingredients
(including chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, flaked coconut
and chopped, diced, crushed and sliced nuts) sold to retailers,
wholesalers, industrial and food service customers; bulk food
products sold to retail and food service customers; an assortment
of corn snacks, sunflower seeds, party mixes, sesame sticks and
other sesame snack products sold to retail supermarkets, vending
companies, mass merchandisers and industrial customers; and a wide
variety of toppings for ice cream and yogurt sold to food service
customers.
(iii) CUSTOMERS
The Company sells its products to approximately 11,900 retail,
wholesale, industrial, government and food service customers on a
national level. Retailers of the Company's products include
grocery chains, mass merchandisers and membership clubs. The
Company markets many of its Evon's brand products directly to
approximately 3,700 retail stores in Illinois and nine other
states through its store-door delivery system discussed below.
Wholesale grocery companies purchase products from the Company for
resale to regional retail grocery chains and convenience stores.
The Company's industrial customers include bakeries, ice cream and
candy manufacturers and other food and snack processors. The
Company's principal government customers are the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Service of the USDA and the Defense
Personnel Support Center. Food service customers include
hospitals, schools, universities, airlines, retail and wholesale
restaurant businesses and national food service franchises. In
addition, the Company packages and distributes products
manufactured or processed by others. No single customer accounted
for more than 10% of the Company's gross sales for fiscal 2000,
fiscal 1999 or fiscal 1998.
(iv) SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company markets its products through its own sales department
and through a network of over 298 independent brokers and various
independent distributors and suppliers. The Company's sales
department of 46 employees includes 14 regional managers, 7 sales
specialists and 5 telemarketers.
The Company's marketing and promotional campaigns include regional
and national trade shows and limited newspaper advertisements,
including coupons, done from time to time in cooperation with
certain of the Company's retail customers. These programs were
designed to bring new users and increased consumption in the snack
and baking nut categories. The Company also designs and
manufactures point of purchase displays and bulk food dispensers
for use by certain of its retail customers. These displays, and
other shelving and pegboard displays purchased by the Company, are
installed by Company personnel. The Company believes that
controlling the type, style and format of display fixtures
benefits the customer and ultimately the Company by presenting the
Company's products in a consistent, attractive point of sale
presentation.
The Company distributes its products from its Illinois, Georgia,
California, North Carolina and Texas production facilities and
from public warehouse and distribution facilities located in
various other states. The majority of the Company's products are
shipped from the Company's production, warehouse and distribution
facilities by contract and common carriers.
In Illinois and nine other states, JBSS distributes its Evon's
brand products to approximately 3,700 convenience stores,
supermarkets and other retail customer locations through its
store-door delivery system. Under this system, JBSS uses its own
fleet of Evon's step-vans to market and distribute Evon's brand
nuts, snacks and candy directly to retail customers on a
store-by-store basis. Presently, the store-door delivery system
consists of approximately 50 route salespeople covering routes
located in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota,
Michigan, Kentucky, North Dakota and Missouri. District and
regional route managers, as well as sales and marketing personnel
operating out of JBSS's corporate offices, are responsible for
monitoring and managing the route salespeople.
In the Chicago area, JBSS operates two thrift stores at its
production facilities and five other retail stores. These stores
sell bulk foods and other products produced by JBSS and other
vendors.
(v) COMPETITION
Snack food markets are highly competitive. The Company's nuts and
other snack food products compete against products manufactured
and sold by numerous other companies in the snack food industry,
some of which are substantially larger and have greater resources
than the Company. In the nut industry, the Company competes with,
among others, Planters (which has recently agreed to be acquired
by Philip Morris Companies, Inc. to be combined with Kraft Foods,
Inc.), Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. and numerous regional snack food
processors. Competitive factors in the Company's markets include
price, product quality, customer service, breadth of product line,
brand name awareness, method of distribution and sales promotion.
See "Forward Looking Statements -- Factors That May Affect Future
Results -- Competitive Environment" contained in the Company's
2000 Annual Report to Stockholders.
(vi) RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
The Company purchases nuts from domestic and foreign sources.
Most of the Company's peanuts are purchased from the southeastern
United States and most of its walnuts and almonds are purchased
from California. The Company purchases most of its pecans from
the southern United States and Mexico. Cashew nuts are imported
from India, Africa, Brazil and Southeast Asia. The availability
of nuts is subject to market conditions and crop size fluctuations
caused by weather conditions, plant diseases and other factors
beyond the Company's control. These fluctuations can adversely
impact the Company's profitability. For fiscal 2000, less than
30% of the Company's nut purchases were from foreign sources.
The Company generally purchases and shells peanuts, pecans and
walnuts instead of buying shelled nuts from shellers. Due, in
part, to the seasonal nature of the industry, the Company
maintains significant inventories of peanuts, pecans, walnuts and
almonds at certain times of the year, especially in the second and
third quarters of the Company's fiscal year. Fluctuations in the
market price of peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds and other nuts
may affect the value of the Company's inventory and thus the
Company's gross profit and gross profit margin. See "General",
"Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999 -- Gross Profit", "Fiscal
1999 Compared to Fiscal 1998 -- Gross Profit" under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" contained in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to
Stockholders.
The Company purchases supplies, such as roasting oils, seasonings,
glass jars, plastic jars, labels, composite cans and other
packaging materials from third parties. The Company sponsors a
seed exchange program under which it provides peanut seed to
growers in return for a commitment to repay the dollar value of
that seed, plus interest, in the form of farmer stock (i.e.,
peanuts at harvest). Approximately 80% of the farmer stock
peanuts purchased by the Company in fiscal 2000 were grown from
seed provided by the Company. The Company also contracts for the
growing of a limited number of generations of peanut seeds to
increase seed quality and maintain desired genetic characteristics
of the peanut seed used in processing.
The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of
the Company's products, including peanuts, pecans, walnuts,
almonds, other nuts, dried fruit, coconut and chocolate, 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 a
determination by the USDA or any 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.
Furthermore, the supply of peanuts is currently subject to federal
regulation that restricts peanut imports and the tonnage of
peanuts that farmers may market domestically. See "Federal
Regulation" below.
(vii) TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
The Company markets its products primarily under private labels
and the Fisher, Evon's, Sunshine Country, Flavor Tree, Texas Pride
and Tom Scott brand names, which are registered as trademarks with
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as in various other
jurisdictions. The Company also owns several patents of various
durations. The Company expects to continue to renew for the
foreseeable future those trademarks that are important to the
Company's business.
(viii) EMPLOYEES
As of June 29, 2000, the Company had approximately 1,440 active
employees, including 170 corporate staff employees and 1,270
production and distribution employees. As a result of the
seasonal nature of the Company's business, the number of employees
peaked to approximately 1,500 in the last four months of calendar
1999 and dropped to an average of approximately 1,450 during the
remainder of fiscal 2000. Approximately 20 of the Company's
salespeople are covered by a collective bargaining agreement which
expires on June 30, 2001.
(ix) SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and other
nut products is highest during the months of October, November and
December. Peanuts, pecans, walnuts and almonds, the Company's
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, the Company's
personnel, working capital requirements and inventories peak
during the last four months of the calendar year. See
"Supplementary Quarterly Data" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
General" contained in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to
Stockholders.
(x) BACKLOG
Because the time between order and shipment is usually less than
three weeks, the Company believes that backlog as of a particular
date is not indicative of annual sales.
(xi) FEDERAL REGULATION
Peanuts are an important part of the Company's product line.
Approximately 50% of the total pounds 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. Although 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.
(xii) OPERATING HAZARDS AND UNINSURED RISKS
The sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk
of injury to consumers as a result of product contamination or
spoilage, including the presence of foreign objects, substances,
chemicals, aflatoxin and other agents, or residues introduced
during the growing, storage, handling or transportation phases.
Although the Company maintains rigid quality control standards,
inspects its products by visual examination, metal detectors or
electronic monitors at various stages of its shelling and
processing operations for all of its nut and other food products,
permits the USDA to inspect all lots of peanuts shipped to and
from the Company's production facilities, and complies with the
Nutrition Labeling and Education Act by labeling each product that
it sells with labels that disclose the nutritional value and
content of each of the Company's products, no assurance can be
given that some nut or other food products sold by the Company may
not contain or develop harmful substances. The Company currently
maintains product liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence
and umbrella coverage of up to $50 million which it and its
insurance carriers believe to be adequate.
Item 2 -- PROPERTIES
The Company presently owns or leases eight principal production
facilities. Two of these facilities are located in Elk Grove
Village, Illinois. The first Elk Grove Village facility, the
Busse Road facility, serves as the Company's corporate
headquarters and main production facility. The other Elk Grove
Village facility is located on Arthur Avenue adjacent to the Busse
Road facility. The remaining principal production facilities are
located in Bainbridge, Georgia; Garysburg, North Carolina; Selma,
Texas; Walnut, California; Gustine, California; and Arlington
Heights, Illinois. The Company also leases a warehousing facility
in Des Plaines, Illinois. The Company also presently operates
thrift stores out of the Busse Road facility and the Des Plaines
facility, and owns one retail store and leases four additional
retail stores in various Chicago suburbs. In addition, the
Company leases space in public warehouse facilities in various
states.
The Company believes that its facilities are generally well
maintained, in good operating condition and adequate for its
present operational needs.

</TABLE>
(1) Approximately 240,000 square feet of the Busse Road
facility is leased from the Busse Land Trust under a lease which
expires on May 31, 2015. Under the terms of the lease, the
Company has a right of first refusal and a right of first offer
with respect to this portion of the Busse Road facility. The
remaining 60,000 square feet of space at the Busse Road facility
(the "Addition") was constructed by the Company in 1994 on
property owned by the Busse Land Trust and on property owned by
the Company. Accordingly, (i) the Company and the Busse Land
Trust entered into a ground lease with a term beginning January
1, 1995 pursuant to which the Company leases from the Busse Land
Trust the land on which a portion of the Addition is situated
(the "Busse Addition Property"), and (ii) the Company, the Busse
Land Trust and the sole beneficiary of the Busse Land Trust
entered into a party wall agreement effective as of January 1,
1995, which sets forth the respective rights and obligations of
the Company and the Busse Land Trust with respect to the common
wall which separates the existing Busse Road facility and the
Addition. The ground lease has a term which expires on May 31,
2015 (the same date on which the Company's lease for the Busse
Road facility expires). The Company has an option to extend the
term of the ground lease for one five-year term, an option to
purchase the Busse Addition Property at its then appraised fair
market value at any time during the term of the ground lease,
and a right of first refusal with respect to the Busse Addition
Property. See "Compensation Committee Interlocks, Insider
Participation and Certain Transactions -- Lease Arrangements"
contained in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2000 Annual
Meeting.
(2) The Des Plaines facility is leased under a lease which
expires on October 31, 2010. The Des Plaines facility is also
subject to a mortgage securing a loan from an unrelated third
party lender to the related-party lessor in the original
principal amount of approximately $1.6 million. The rights of
the Company under the lease are subject and subordinate to the
rights of the lender. Accordingly, a default by the lessor under
the loan could result in foreclosure on the facility and thereby
adversely affect the Company's leasehold interest. The Company
subleases approximately 29,000 square feet of space at the Des
Plaines facility to one related party lessee. See "Compensation
Committee Interlocks, Insider Participation and Certain
Transactions -- Lease Arrangements" contained in the Company's
Proxy Statement for the 2000 Annual Meeting.
(3) The Bainbridge facility is subject to a mortgage and deed of
trust securing approximately $7.4 million (excluding accrued and
unpaid interest) in industrial development bonds. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources"
contained in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders.
(4) The Walnut, California facility is leased under a lease
which expires on July 31, 2001. The Company has one renewal
option under the lease to extend the lease term until July 31,
2006.
(5) The Arlington Heights facility is subject to a mortgage
dated September 27, 1995 securing a loan of $2.5 million with a
maturity date of October 1, 2015.
b. MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
The Company's principal production facilities are equipped with
modern processing and packaging machinery and equipment. The
physical structure and the layout of the production line at the
Busse Road facility were designed so that peanuts and other nuts
can be processed, jarred and packed in cases for distribution on a
completely automated basis. The facility also has production
lines for chocolate chips, candies, peanut butter and other
products processed or packaged by the Company.
The Selma facility contains the Company's automated pecan shelling
and bulk packaging operation. The facility's pecan shelling
production lines currently have the capacity to shell in excess of
60 million inshell pounds of pecans annually. For fiscal 2000, the
Company processed approximately 41 million inshell pounds of
pecans at the Selma, Texas facility. The Selma facility currently
contains an almond processing line with the capacity to process
over 10 million pounds of almonds annually. For fiscal 2000, the
Selma facility processed approximately 2 million pounds of
almonds.
The Bainbridge facility is located in the largest peanut producing
region in the United States. This facility takes direct delivery
of farmer stock peanuts and cleans, shells, sizes, inspects,
blanches, roasts and packages them for sale to the Company's
customers. The production line at the Bainbridge facility is
almost entirely automated and has the capacity to shell
approximately 120 million inshell pounds of peanuts annually.
During fiscal 2000, the Bainbridge facility shelled approximately
70 million inshell pounds of peanuts.
The Garysburg facility has the capacity to process approximately
40 million inshell pounds of farmer stock peanuts annually. For
fiscal 2000, the Garysburg facility processed approximately 20
million pounds of inshell peanuts.
The Gustine facility, which was purchased in 1993, is used for
walnut shelling, processing and marketing operations. This
facility was expanded during 1994 to increase the capacity to
shell from approximately 12 million inshell pounds of walnuts
annually to approximately 35 million inshell pounds of walnuts
annually. For fiscal 2000, the Gustine facility shelled
approximately 27 million inshell pounds of walnuts.
The Arlington Heights facility is used for the production and
packaging the majority of the Company's Fisher Nut products, the
"stand-up pouch" packaging for its Flavor Tree brand products and
for the production and packaging of the Company's sunflower meats.
Overall, the Elk Grove Village and Selma processing facilities are
well utilized.
ITEM 3 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to various lawsuits, proceedings and other
matters arising out of the conduct of its business. Currently, it
is management's opinion that the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the business,
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
ITEM 4 -- SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000
to a vote of security holders, through solicitation of proxies or
otherwise.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
Pursuant to General Instruction G (3) of Form 10-K and Instruction
3 to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K, the following information is
included as an unnumbered item in Part I of this Report in lieu of
being included in the Proxy Statement for the Company's annual
meeting of stockholders to be held on October 26, 2000:
JASPER B. SANFILIPPO, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER, age 69 -- Mr. Sanfilippo has been employed by the Company
since 1953. Mr. Sanfilippo served as the Company's President from
1982 to December 1995 and was the Company's Treasurer from 1959 to
October 1991. He became the Company's Chairman of the Board and
