Segment ReportingWe operate in a single reporting unit and operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut related products through three distribution channels.See Part II, Item 8 — “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for our net sales, net income and total assets.c. Narrative Description of Business(i) GeneralWe are one of the leading processors and distributors of tree nuts and peanuts in the United States. We manufacture and market the Fisher, Orchard ValleyHarvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts, and Sunshine Country brand names and manufacture and distribute numerous private brands as well. Througha deliberate strategy of focused capital expenditures and complementary acquisitions, we have built a generally vertically integrated nut processingoperation that enables us to control almost every step of the process for pecans, peanuts and walnuts, including procurement from growers, shelling,processing, packaging and marketing. Vertical integration allows us to enhance product quality and, in most crop years, purchase inshell pecans, peanutsand walnuts at lower costs as opposed to purchasing these nut meats from other shellers. We believe that our generally vertically integrated business modeltypically works to our advantage in terms of cost savings and provides us with better insight into crop development. Our generally vertically integratedmodel, however, can under certain circumstances result in reduced earnings or losses. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.Our brands are some of the most well-recognized in the packaged food industry. In recent years we have developed Fisher recipe nuts as the leading brandin the category, increased distribution of Orchard Valley Harvest in the produce section of many retailers, increased innovative snacking solutions with ourFisher snack nuts and expanded into new channels with our acquisition of Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts . Our branded and private brand productsare sold through the major distribution channels to 1significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers, commercial ingredient users and contract packaging customers. Selling through multiple distributionchannels allows us to generate multiple revenue opportunities for the nuts we process. For example, pecan halves could be sold to food retailers under ourFisher brand, and pecan pieces could be sold to commercial ingredient users. We process and sell all major nut types consumed in the United States,including peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts and almonds (our major nut types) in a wide variety of innovative packaging, thus offering our customers acomplete nut product offering.(ii) Principal ProductsOur principal products are raw and processed nuts. These products accounted for approximately 74%, 78% and 79% of our gross sales for fiscal 2020, fiscal2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively. The nut product line includes almonds, pecans, peanuts, black walnuts, English walnuts, cashews, macadamia nuts,pistachios, pine nuts, Brazil nuts and filberts. Our nut products are sold in numerous package styles and sizes and we offer our nut products in a variety ofdifferent styles and seasonings. We sell our products domestically to retailers and wholesalers as well as to commercial ingredient and contract packagingcustomers. We also sell certain of our products to foreign customers in the retail, contract packaging and commercial ingredient markets. For moreinformation about our revenues in our various distribution channels, see Part II, Item 8 — “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.We acquire all of our peanuts and walnuts directly from domestic growers. The majority of our pecans are acquired from domestic growers with theremainder acquired from growers in Mexico. We purchase the balance of our raw nuts from importers, trading companies and domestic processors.We manufacture and market peanut butter in several sizes and varieties. We also market and distribute, and in many cases process and manufacture, a wideassortment of other food and snack products. These other products include snack mixes, salad toppings, snacks, snack bites, trail mixes, dried fruit andchocolate and yogurt coated products sold to retailers and wholesalers; baking ingredients sold to retailers, wholesalers, and commercial ingredientcustomers; bulk food products sold to retail and commercial ingredient users; an assortment of sunflower kernels, pepitas, snack mixes, almond butter,cashew butter, candy and confections, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products sold to retail supermarkets, massmerchandisers and commercial ingredient users and a wide variety of toppings for ice cream and yogurt sold to commercial ingredient users.(iii) Customers and ChannelsWe sell our products to approximately 275 customers through the consumer, commercial ingredient and contract packaging distribution channels. Theconsumer channel supplies nut-based products, including consumer-packaged and bulk products, to retailers including supermarket chains, wholesalers,supercenters, internet retailers and other retail outlets, across the United States. We sell products through the consumer channel under our brand names,including the Fisher , Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts and Sunshine Country brands, as well as under our customers’ privatebrands. The commercial ingredient channel supplies nut-based products to other manufacturers to use as ingredients in their final food products such asbakery, confection, cereal and ice cream, and produces nut-based products that are customized to the specifications of chefs, national restaurant chains,foodservice distributors, fast food chains, institutions and hotel kitchens. We sell products through the commercial ingredient channel under our Fisherbrand and our customers’ private brands. Our contract packaging channel produces and packages nut-based snacks for food manufacturers and marketersunder their brand name.We are dependent on a few significant customers for a majority of our total net sales, particularly in the consumer channel. Net sales to Wal-Mart Stores,Inc. accounted for approximately 33% of our net sales for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 and 30% of our net sales for fiscal 2018. Net sales to TargetCorporation accounted for approximately 12% of our net sales for fiscal 2020, 10% of our net sales for fiscal 2019 and 13% our net sales for fiscal 2018.Net sales to PepsiCo, Inc. accounted for approximately 11% of our net sales for fiscal 2018. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales forany period presented.(iv) Sales and DistributionWe market our products through our own sales department and through a network of approximately 60 independent brokers and various independentdistributors and suppliers, including group purchasing organizations.We distribute products from each of our principal facilities. The majority of our products are shipped from our facilities by contract and common carriers.We operate a retail store at our Elgin headquarters. This store sells Fisher snack and baking products, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand and SouthernStyle Nut products, bulk foods and other products produced by us and other vendors. 2(v) MarketingMarketing strategies are developed for each distribution channel and focus primarily on branded products. Branded consumer efforts concentrate onbuilding brand awareness, developing, identifying and introducing new products, attracting new customers, increasing distribution and increasingconsumption in the snack nut, recipe nut and produce categories. Private brand and commercial ingredient channel efforts are focused on categorymanagement, new product identification and introduction, brand awareness and merchandising support.A significant portion of our branded marketing efforts are focused on consumer promotional campaigns that include advertisements (e.g., social media,magazine, newspaper, internet and television), product sampling and coupon offers. Our integrated marketing efforts for the Fisher brand typically includesponsorships of chef influencers and professional sports franchises. Additionally, shipper display units are utilized in retail stores in an effort to gainadditional temporary product placement and to drive sales volume. We work with third-party information agencies, such as Information Resources, Inc.(“IRi”), to monitor the effectiveness of our marketing and measure product growth, particularly in comparison to our competition and the product category.Commercial ingredient trade promotion typically includes periodically attending regional and national trade shows, trade publication advertising andone-on-one marketing. These promotional efforts highlight our processing capabilities, broad product portfolio, product customization and packaginginnovation.Through participation in several trade associations, funding of industry research and sponsorship of educational programs, we support efforts to increaseawareness of the health benefits, convenience and versatility of nuts as both a snack and a recipe ingredient among existing and future consumers of nuts.(vi) CompetitionOur nuts and other snack food products compete against products manufactured and sold by numerous other companies in the snack food industry, some ofwhom are substantially larger and have greater resources than us. In the nut industry, we compete with, among others, The Kraft Heinz Company (Plantersbrand) and numerous regional snack food processors. We also compete with the Diamond brand, among others. Competitive factors in our markets includeprice, product quality, customer service, breadth of product line, brand name awareness, method of distribution and sales promotion. The combination ofour generally vertically integrated operating model with respect to pecans, peanuts and walnuts, our product quality, product offering, brand strength,innovation, distribution model and our focus on nut and nut related products generally enable us to compete in each of these categories, but there can be noguarantee that our products will continue to be competitive with many of our larger competitors. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.(vii) Raw Materials and SuppliesWe purchase nuts from domestic and foreign sources. In fiscal 2020, all of our walnuts, almonds and peanuts were purchased from domestic sources. Wepurchase our pecans from the southern United States and Mexico. Cashew nuts are imported from Vietnam and certain West African countries. For fiscal2020, approximately 35% of the dollar value of our total nut purchases was from foreign sources.Competition in the nut shelling industry is driven by shellers’ ability to access and purchase raw nuts, to shell the nuts efficiently and to sell the nuts toprocessors. We shell all major domestic nut types, with the exception of almonds, and are among a few select shellers who further process, package and sellnuts to the end-user. Raw material pricing pressure and the high cost of equipment automation have previously contributed to a consolidation amongshellers across all nut types, especially peanuts and pecans.We are generally vertically integrated with respect to pecans, peanuts and walnuts and, unlike our major consumer distribution channel competitors whopurchase nuts on the open market, we purchase a substantial portion of our pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers. However, there are risksassociated with vertical integration, such as susceptibility to market price volatility for pecans, peanuts and walnuts. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.Due, in part, to the seasonal nature of the industry, we maintain significant inventories of peanuts, pecans and walnuts at certain times of the year, especiallyin the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. Fluctuations in the market price of pecans, peanuts and walnuts and other nuts may affect the value of ourinventory and thus may also affect our gross profit and gross profit margin. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”. 3Until July 2017, we had purchased some of our packaging and labels from a related party. We purchase other inventory items such as roasting oils,seasonings, plastic jars, labels, stand-up bags, composite and clear-plastic cans and other packaging materials from other third parties. Material costs,including tree nuts, peanuts, other commodities and other inventory items represented approximately 80% of our total cost of sales for fiscal 2020.(viii) Trademarks and PatentsWe market our products primarily under name brands, including the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts and SunshineCountry brand names. Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts and Sunshine Country are registered as trademarks with theU.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as in various other foreign jurisdictions. We do not own any trademarks for any private brands, which are ownedby the respective private brand customer. Our trademarks are important as they provide our customers with information about the quality of our products.However, registration and use of our trademarks in foreign jurisdictions may be subject to certain risks in addition to other risks generally related to ourintellectual property. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”. We also own several patents of various durations. We expect to continue to renew for theforeseeable future those trademarks that are important to our business and expand registration of our trademarks into new jurisdictions. We intend to protectour intellectual property rights vigorously.(ix) EmployeesAs of June 25, 2020, we had approximately 1,370 full-time employees, including approximately 260 corporate staff employees.(x) SeasonalityOur business is seasonal. Demand for peanut and tree nut products is highest during the last four months of the calendar year. Peanuts, pecans and walnuts,three of our principal raw materials, are primarily purchased between September and February and are processed throughout the year until the followingharvest. As a result of this seasonality, our personnel requirements rise during the second quarter of our fiscal year. Our working capital requirementsgenerally peak during the third quarter of our fiscal year.(xi) BacklogBecause the time between order and shipment is usually less than three weeks, we believe that any backlog as of a particular date is not material to anunderstanding of our business as a whole.(xii) Operating Hazards and Uninsured RisksThe sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury to consumers as a result of product contamination or spoilage, including thepresence of shell fragments, foreign objects, insects, foreign substances, pathogens, chemicals, aflatoxin and other hazards, agents or residues introducedduring the growing, storage, handling or transportation phases. We (i) maintain what we believe to be rigid quality control standards and food safetysystems that is evident in our Safe Quality Food (“SQF”) certification at each manufacturing facility, (ii) generally inspect our nut and other food productsby visual examination, screening, metal detectors or electronic monitors at various stages of our shelling and processing operations, (iii) work with theUnited States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) in its inspection of peanuts shipped to and from our peanut shelling facilities, (iv) maintain robustenvironmental pathogen programs, (v) seek to comply with the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act by labeling each product that we sell with labels thatdisclose the nutritional value and content of each of our products and (vi) assure compliance with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) through our comprehensive Food Safety Plans which include following Current Good Manufacturing Practicesand control biological, chemical and physical hazards through our Process, Sanitation, Allergen and Supply Chain Preventative Controls; however, noassurance can be given that some nut or other food products sold by us may not contain or develop harmful substances. In order to mitigate this risk, westrive to select high-quality nut suppliers and currently maintain product liability and contaminated product insurance at amounts we believe are adequate inlight of our operations. 4Item 1A — Risk FactorsWe face a number of significant risks and uncertainties, and therefore, an investment in our Common Stock is subject to risks and uncertainties. The factorsdescribed below could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. While each risk is described separately,some of these risks are interrelated and it is possible that certain risks could trigger the applicability of other risks described below. Also, the risks anduncertainties described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or risks we view as not risingto the level of being material, could also potentially impair our business, results of operations and financial condition. Investors should consider thefollowing factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Part II, Item 7 — “Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” before deciding to purchase our CommonStock.We Cannot Control the Availability or Cost of Raw Materials and this May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations, Cash Flowsand Financial ConditionThe availability and cost of raw materials for the production of our products, including peanuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, walnuts, pine nuts and other nutsare subject to crop size and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond our control. These factors include weather conditions, natural disasters (includingfloods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes and hurricanes), changing climate patterns, plant diseases, foreign currency fluctuations, trade agreements, tariffs andembargos, import/export controls, political change and unrest, changes in global customer demand, pandemics and disease, changes in governmentagricultural programs, federal and state government mandates related to the preceding or otherwise and purchasing behavior of certain countries, includingChina and India. Additionally, any determination by the USDA or other government agencies that certain pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals used bygrowers have left harmful residues on portions of the crop, any portion of the crop has been contaminated by aflatoxin or other agents or any future productrecalls for other reasons could reduce the supply of edible nuts and other raw materials used in our products and could cause our costs to increasesignificantly.Because these raw materials are commodities, their prices are set by the market and can therefore fluctuate quickly and dramatically due to varied events,such as those described above. Furthermore, we are not able to hedge against changes in nut commodity prices because no appropriate futures, derivative orother risk-sharing market for these commodities exists and we cannot create such a market. Consequently, in order to achieve or maintain profitabilitylevels, we attempt to increase the prices of our products to reflect the increase in the costs of the raw materials that we use and sell. However, we may not besuccessful in passing along partial or full price increases to our customers, if at all. In addition, even if we are successful in passing across partial or fullprice increases, we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion. Our ability to raise prices and the timing of any price increases is often dependent upon theactions of our competitors, some of whom are significantly larger and more diversified than we are or own farms which produce the raw materials.Additionally, any such product price increase that we are able to pass along to our customers may ultimately reduce the demand for, and sales of, ourproducts as customers reduce purchases or buy lower priced products. Alternatively, if the prices of any raw materials significantly decrease, and we haveinventories of such materials on hand, we may be unable to reduce product prices without impacting our gross margin. Any competitors who purchase suchmaterial on the open market or own the farms which produce the raw materials may be able to reduce prices in a more timely manner, and we could losemarket share to such competitors. Any one or more of the foregoing aspects may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows andfinancial condition.Moreover, fluctuations in the market prices of nuts may affect the value of our inventories, margins and profitability. We maintain significant inventories ofnuts, and our financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any significant decrease in the market price of such raw materials. We enterinto fixed price commitments with a portion of our commercial ingredient customers and certain other customers. The commitments are for a fixed periodof time, typically three months to twelve months, but may be extended if remaining balances exist. Such commitments with a term of six months or morerepresented approximately 4% of our annual net sales in fiscal 2020. Sometimes we enter into fixed price commitments with respect to certain of our nutproducts before fixing our acquisition costs in order to maintain customer relationships or when, in management’s judgment, market or crop harvestconditions so warrant. To the extent we do so and our fixed prices are not properly aligned with our acquisition costs, these fixed price commitments mayresult in reduced or negative gross profit margins, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Significant Private Brand Competitive Activity Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Branded Sales and as a Result Our Financial Condition andResults of OperationsSome customer buying decisions, including some of our largest customers, are based upon a periodic bidding process in which the single, successful bidderis assured the selling of the selected product to the food retailer, supercenter or mass merchandiser until the next bidding process to the exclusion of otherbidders. Our sales volume may decrease significantly if our bids are too high and we lose the ability to sell products through these channels, eventemporarily. Alternatively, we risk reducing our margins if our bids are 5successful, but below our desired price points. In addition, our margins could be further reduced if commodity prices subsequently rise and customers areunwilling or unable to accept price increases. Should any of our significant customers elect to introduce or expand their private brand programs, and we donot participate in such programs or the programs directly compete against our branded products, our sales volume and margins could be negativelyimpacted. Any of these outcomes may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.Our Inability to Manage Successfully the Price Gap Between our Private Brand Snack Nut Products and Those of our Branded Competitors MayMaterially and Adversely Affect Our Results of OperationsAlthough demand for private brand snack nut products (and our private brand snack nut products in particular) has increased, our competitors’ brandedsnack nut products have certain advantages over our private brand snack nut products primarily due to their advertising strategies, perceived productattributes, name recognition and pricing flexibility.At the retail level, private brand snack nut products generally sell at a discount to those of branded competitors. If branded competitors reduce the price oftheir products, the price of branded snack nut products offered to consumers may approximate the prices of our private brand snack nut products. Further,promotional activities by branded competitors, such as temporary price reductions, retailer credits, buy-one-get-one-free offerings and coupons, have thesame general effect as price decreases. Price decreases initiated by branded competitors could result in a decline in the demand for our private brand snacknut products, which could negatively impact our sales volumes and overall profitability. Such sales volume and profitability decreases could materially andadversely affect our results of operations.In addition, many of our competitors with significant branded operations have more diversified product offerings among a wider variety of food categoriesthan we have. Such competitors could, as a result of their size or diversified offerings, be in a better position to decrease their prices or offer betterpromotions for their branded snack nut products. If competitors are able to exploit their size or diversification to make significant price reductions and offerbetter promotions, it could decrease our private brand snack nut sales, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Changing Consumer Preferences and Demand Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOur financial performance depends in part on our ability to anticipate and offer products to our customers that appeal to their preferences. Consumerpreferences, whether for branded products or private brand products, or how consumers purchase such products and the quantity or volume sizes of suchproducts, can quickly change based on a number of factors beyond our control. If we fail to anticipate, identify or react quickly to these changes and areunable to develop and market new and improved products to meet consumer preferences, demand for our products could suffer. In addition, demand for ourproducts could be affected by consumer concerns regarding the labeling, manner of preparing our products or concerns with respect to the health effects ofnutrients or ingredients in any of our products. The development and introduction of new products or alteration of existing products requires substantialresearch and development, testing and marketing expenditures, which we may be unable to recover fully if the new products do not achieve the necessarycommercial success. New product introduction also results in increased costs, including from the use of new manufacturing techniques, capitalexpenditures, new raw materials and ingredients, revision of packaging and labeling and additional marketing and trade spending. Consumers are alsopurchasing food products outside traditional retail supermarkets, including via the Internet. If we are unable to provide our customers with our productsoutside traditional retail supermarkets, supercenters and club stores, demand for our products could suffer and/or we will be unable to grow our business.Reduction in demand as a result of changing consumer preferences or inability to provide consumers with products they demand could materially andadversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.Negative Consumer Perception About Our Company or Branded Products Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition andResults of OperationsOur ability to develop, maintain and continually enhance the value of our Company and our branded products is critical to improving our operating andfinancial performance and implementing our Strategic Plan. The value of our Company and our branded products is based in large part on the degree towhich consumers react and respond positively to our operations and our brands. Positive views of our Company and our brand value could diminishsignificantly due to a number of factors, including consumer perception that we have acted in an irresponsible or reckless manner, negative perception aboutthe actions or values of our Company, adverse publicity about our products and Company operations (whether actual or fictitious), product recalls or ourfailure to maintain the quality of our products, the failure of our products to deliver consistently positive consumer experiences, concerns about food safetyor allergies or our products becoming unavailable to consumers. 6In addition, our success in enhancing the value of our Company and our branded products depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing mediaenvironment. We increasingly rely on social media and online advertising campaigns as well as advertising outside of traditional print and televisionchannels. Negative posts or comments (whether actual or fictitious) about us or the type of products we produce, market or sell on online social networks,product review sites or similar online activity could seriously impact consumer demand for our products. We are subject to a variety of legal and regulatoryrestrictions on how we market and advertise our products. These restrictions may limit our ability to respond as the media and communications environmentcontinues to evolve. If we do not react appropriately, then our product sales, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adverselyaffected.Our Generally Vertically Integrated Model Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Results of OperationsWe have a generally vertically integrated nut processing operation that enables us to control almost every step of the process for pecans, peanuts andwalnuts, including procurement from growers. Our generally vertically integrated model has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in significantlosses because we are subject to the various risks associated with purchasing a majority of our pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers, includingthe risk of purchasing such products from growers at costs that later, due to altered market conditions, prove to be above prevailing market prices at time ofsale. Accordingly, because we purchase a majority of our pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers during harvest season and shell and processthese nuts throughout our fiscal year, there is a possibility that, after we acquire these nuts, market conditions may change. Depending on these changingmarket conditions, we may be forced to sell these nuts at reduced prices relative to our acquisition costs, or even at a loss which could materially andadversely affect our results of operations.We Operate in a Competitive Environment Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsWe operate in a highly competitive environment. The principal areas of competition are, among others, brand recognition, taste, flavor, quality, packaging,price, advertising, promotion, convenience and service. Our principal products compete against food and snack products manufactured and sold bynumerous regional, national and international companies, some of which are substantially larger and have greater resources than us, such as The Kraft HeinzCompany (Planters brand). Most of our competitors that sell and market the other top branded snack nut products have committed more financial, marketingand other resources to such brands when compared to the resources spent by us on our brands. Additionally, many retail customers have continued toemphasize their own private label offerings as a key part of their strategy and may develop or expand their own private label nut and nut product offerings,to the exclusion of our branded products. Several other smaller competitors may be able to focus on faster-growing, niche markets that we are unable tomarket effectively to or otherwise sell to due to our size and operations. Many of our competitors buy their nuts on the open market and are thus notexposed to the risks of purchasing inshell pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers at fixed prices that later, due to altered market conditions, mayprove to be above prevailing market prices. We also compete with other shellers in the commercial ingredient market and with regional processors in theretail and wholesale markets. In order to maintain or increase our market share, we must continue to price our products competitively and spend onmarketing, advertising, new product innovation and shelf placement and slotting fees, which may cause a decline in gross profit margin if we are unable toincrease sales volume as well as reduce our costs, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.We are Dependent Upon Certain Significant Customers Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition, Cash Flows andResults of OperationsWe are dependent on a few significant customers for a large portion of our total net sales, particularly in the consumer channel. Sales to our five largestcustomers represented approximately 60%, 59% and 60% of net sales in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively. There can be no assurancethat all significant customers will continue to purchase our products in the same quantities, same product mix or on the same terms as in the past,particularly as increasingly powerful retailers demand lower pricing, different packaging, larger marketing support, payments for retail space, establishprivate brands or request other terms of sale which negatively impact our profitability. Many of our largest customers emphasize sales at physical locationsand a significant shift to Internet sales may impact the amount and types of products they purchase from us. A loss of one of our largest customers, amaterial decrease in purchases by one of our largest customers, the inability to collect a receivable from or a significant business interruption at one of ourlargest customers would result in decreased sales and would materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.Impairment in the Carrying Value of Goodwill or Other Intangibles Could Result in the Incurrence of Impairment Charges and Negatively Impact ourFinancial ConditionAt June 25, 2020, we had goodwill of $9.6 million and other intangible assets of $12.1 million, net. The net carrying value of goodwill represents the fairvalue of acquired businesses in excess of identifiable assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date (or subsequent impairment date, if applicable). The netcarrying value of other intangibles represents the fair value of customer relationships, brand 7names, and other acquired intangibles as of the acquisition date (or subsequent impairment date, if applicable), net of accumulated amortization. Goodwill isnot amortized but must be evaluated by management at least annually for impairment. Amortized intangible assets are evaluated for impairment wheneverevents or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. Impairments to goodwill and other intangibleassets may be caused by factors outside our control, such as increasing competitive pricing pressures, lower than expected revenue and profit growth rates,changes in industry earnings multiples, changes in discount rates based on changes in cost of capital (interest rates, etc.) or the bankruptcy of a significantcustomer and could result in the incurrence of impairment charges and negatively impact our net worth.We are Subject to Customer Pricing Pressures and Retail Consolidation Trends Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Conditionand Results of OperationsAs the retail grocery trade continues to consolidate and our retail customers grow larger, become more sophisticated and obtain more purchasing power, ourretail customers are demanding lower pricing, especially private brand customers, and increased free or discounted promotional programs. Further, theseretail customers may begin to place a greater emphasis on the lowest-cost supplier in making purchasing decisions, especially during periods of increased orvariable raw material acquisition costs. An increased focus on the lowest-cost supplier could reduce the benefits of some of our competitive advantages,which include a focus on customer service, innovation, production capacity, category management and quality. As the retail environment consolidates,many customers are reducing inventories or focusing on a limited number of brands (often the number one or number two brand by market share) in makingpurchasing decisions. In addition, certain customers in the retail channel, such as dollar stores and other discount sellers, have become increasinglysophisticated and may demand similar pricing to retail grocery customers. As part of the retail consolidation trend, diversified companies with substantialInternet presences have increased their food offerings or purchased retail supermarkets to expand their grocery business, particularly as such companiesfocus on food delivery direct to consumers. Such companies have substantial pricing power and may focus on their products to the exclusion of ourproducts. If we fail to respond to these trends, our sales volume growth could suffer, and it may become necessary to lower our prices and increasepromotional support of our products, any of which would materially and adversely affect our gross profit and gross profit margin and could materially andadversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.Food Safety, Allergy and Product Contamination Concerns Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition and Results ofOperationsIf consumers in our principal markets lose confidence in the health or safety of nut products, particularly with respect to peanut and tree nut allergies, foodborne illnesses, processes, ingredients and packaging used in the manufacturing process or other food safety matters, this could materially and adverselyaffect our financial condition and results of operations. Individuals with nut allergies may be at risk of serious illness or death resulting from theconsumption of our nut products, including consumption of other companies’ products containing our products as an ingredient. Notwithstanding ourexisting food safety controls, we process peanuts and tree nuts on the same equipment, and there is no guarantee that our other products will not be cross-contaminated. Concerns generated by risks of peanut and tree nut cross-contamination and other food safety matters, including food borne illnesses, maydiscourage consumers from buying our products, cause production and delivery disruptions or result in product recalls. Product safety issues (i) concerningproducts not manufactured, distributed or sold by us and (ii) concerning products we manufacture, distribute and sell may materially and adversely affectdemand for products in the nut industry as a whole, including products without actual safety problems. Decreases in demand for products in the industrygenerally could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cooling system at our Elgin, Illinoisfacility utilizes ammonia. If a leak in the system were to occur, there is a possibility that the inventory in cold storage at our Elgin, Illinois facility could bedestroyed which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Product Liability, Product Recalls, Product Labeling and Product Advertising Claims May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results ofOperations and Cash FlowsWe face risks associated with product liability claims, product recalls and other liabilities in the event: (i) our food safety and quality control procedures areineffective or fail, (ii) we procure products from third parties that are or become subject to a recall, regardless of whether or not our food safety andquality control procedures are ineffective or fail, (iii) our products cause injury or become adulterated or misbranded, (iv) our products are determined to bepromoted or labeled in a misleading fashion or do not contain required labeling, (v) government authorities test our products and determine that they containa contaminant or present a food safety risk, (vi) our products are tampered with, (vii) one of our competitors is subject to claims, recalls or other liabilitiesinvolving products similar to ours or (viii) federal, state or other government agencies or courts determine that our products could pose health risks orcontain potentially harmful chemicals or other substances. In recent years, the food industry has been a target of litigation over product labeling andadvertising, including nut products. Such litigation results in significant costs to defend and resolve. In addition, we do not control the labeling of othercompanies’ products containing our products as an ingredient. A product recall of a sufficient quantity, a significant product liability judgment against us, asignificant advertising-related liability or other safety concerns (whether 8actual or claimed) could cause our products to be unavailable for a period of time, could require us to re-label or re-package products, could result in a lossof consumer confidence in our products and expose us to liabilities in excess of any insurance we maintain for such events. If these kinds of events were tooccur, they would have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and, consequently, our results of operations and cash flows.We are Dependent on Certain Key Personnel and the Loss of Any of Their Services Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of OperationsOur future success will be largely dependent on the personal efforts of our senior operating management team, including Jeffrey T. Sanfilippo, ChiefExecutive Officer, Michael J. Valentine, Chief Financial Officer, Group President and Secretary, James A. Valentine, Senior Technical Officer and JasperB. Sanfilippo, Jr., Chief Operating Officer, President and Assistant Secretary. We believe that the expertise and knowledge of these individuals in theindustry, and in their respective fields, is a critical factor to our growth and success. Although some of our officers own significant amounts of our Class AStock, these individuals have not entered into any employment or non-compete agreements with us, nor do we have key officer insurance coverage policiesin effect. The departure of any of these individuals or their inability to perform their duties due to illness, disability, injury or other similar events could havea material adverse effect on our business and prospects and that in turn would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our success is alsodependent upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate additional qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.We are Subject to Government Regulation Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Results of OperationsWe are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, the USDA, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and other state, local andforeign authorities in jurisdictions where our products are manufactured, processed or sold. We are also subject to California’s Proposition 65, whichrequires that clear and reasonable warnings be given to consumers who are exposed to certain chemicals deemed by the state of California to be dangerous.Among other things, these regulations govern the manufacturing, importation, processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising and labeling of ourproducts. Our manufacturing and processing facilities and products are subject to periodic compliance inspections by federal, state, local and foreignauthorities. We are also subject to environmental regulations governing the discharge of air emissions, water and food waste, the usage and storage ofpesticides, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. Amendments to existing statutes and regulations,adoption of new statutes and regulations, increased production at our existing facilities as well as our expansion into new operations and jurisdictions mayrequire us to obtain additional licenses and permits and could require us to adapt or alter methods of operations at costs that could be substantial.Compliance with applicable laws and regulations may be time-consuming, expensive or costly to us in different ways and could materially and adverselyaffect our results of operations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions,recalls or seizures, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Specifically , governmental policies affecting the agricultural industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, incentives and import and export restrictionson agricultural commodities and commodity products, can influence the planting, location and size of certain crops, whether commodity products aretraded, the volume and types of imports and exports, and the viability and volume of production of certain of our products. In addition, international tradedisputes can adversely affect commodity trade flows by limiting or disrupting trade between countries or regions. Future government policies may adverselyaffect the supply of, demand for, and prices of our products, restrict our ability to do business in its existing and target markets, and negatively impact ourrevenues and operating results.The FSMA gives the FDA expanded authorities over the safety of the national food supply, including increased inspections and mandatory recalls, as wellas stricter enforcement actions, each of which could result in additional compliance costs and civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, withdrawals,recalls or seizures and confiscations. The FSMA further instructed the FDA to develop new rules and regulations, including the performance of hazardanalyses, implementation of preventive plans to control hazards, and foreign supplier verification provisions. We currently have “hazard analysis andcritical control points” (“HACCP”) procedures in place that may appropriately address many of the existing or future concerns as a result of FSMA.HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of hazards from raw material production, procurementand handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.We are a publicly traded company and subject to changing rules and regulations of federal and state governments as well as other regulatory entities. Theseentities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC, the Department of Justice and the Nasdaq Global Select Market, have issueda significant number of new and increasingly complex requirements and regulations over the last several years and continue to develop additionalregulations and requirements in response to laws enacted by Congress. Our efforts to comply with these requirements have resulted in, and are likely tocontinue to result in, an increase in expenses and a diversion of management’s time from other business activities. Failure to comply with any law orregulation could subject us to civil or criminal remedies, including fines and injunctions, which could materially and adversely affect our results ofoperations. 9Operational, Legal, Economic, Political and Social Risks of Doing Business in Emerging Markets and Other Foreign Countries May Have a MaterialAdverse Effect on Our Results of OperationsApproximately 35% of the dollar value of our total nut purchases for fiscal 2020 were made from foreign countries. We purchase our cashews fromVietnam and certain West African countries and some of our pecans from Mexico. To this extent, we are exposed to various risks inherent in emergingmarkets, including increased governmental ownership and regulation of the economy, greater likelihood of inflation and adverse economic conditions,governmental attempts to control inflation, such as setting interest rates and maintaining wage and price controls, supply reduction into the United Statesfrom increased demand in foreign countries, international competition, compliance with, and subjection to, foreign laws, including our ability to protect ourintellectual property, such as our brands, compliance with U.S. laws and regulations related to conduct in foreign countries, such as the Foreign CorruptPractices Act, currency exchange rates, potential for contractual defaults or forced renegotiations on purchase contracts with limited legal recourse, tariffs,quotas, duties, import and export restrictions and other barriers to trade that may reduce our profitability or sales and civil unrest, armed hostilities andsignificant political instability.The existence of risks in emerging markets and other foreign countries could jeopardize or limit our ability to purchase sufficient supplies of cashews,pecans and other imported raw materials and limit our ability to make international sales, and may materially and adversely affect our results of operationsby increasing the costs of doing business overseas.The Way in Which We Measure Inventory May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of OperationsWe acquire our inshell nut inventories of pecans, peanuts and walnuts from growers and farmers in large quantities at harvest times, which are primarilyduring the second and third quarters of our fiscal year, and receive nut shipments in bulk truckloads. The weights of these nuts are measured using truckscales at the time of receipt, and inventories are recorded on the basis of those measurements. The nuts are then stored in bulk in large warehouses to beshelled or processed throughout the year. Bulk-stored nut inventories are relieved on the basis of continuous high-speed bulk weighing systems as the nutsare shelled or processed or on the basis of calculations derived from the weight of the shelled nuts that are produced. While we perform various proceduresperiodically to confirm the accuracy of our bulk-stored nut inventories, these inventories are estimates that must be periodically adjusted to account forpositive or negative variations in quantities and yields, and such adjustments directly affect earnings. The quantities of each crop year bulk-stored nutinventories are generally shelled out over a ten to fifteen-month period, at which time revisions to any estimates, which historically averaged less than 1.0%of inventory purchases, are also recorded. The precise amount of our bulk-stored nut inventories is not known until the entire quantity of the particular nut isdepleted, which may not necessarily occur every year. Prior crop year inventories may still be on hand as the new crop year inventories are purchased. Themajority of bulk-stored nut inventories at June 25, 2020 will be processed during the first half of fiscal 2021 and any adjustment to our bulk stored nutinventory quantity will be recorded at that time. There can be no assurance that any bulk stored nut inventory quantity adjustments will not have a materialadverse effect on our results of operations in the future.Certain of Our Stockholders Possess a Majority of Aggregate Voting Power in the Company and Members of The Sanfilippo Group Have Pledged aSubstantial Amount of their Class A Stock, Which May Make a Takeover or Change in Control More or Less Difficult and Could Materially andAdversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsAs of August 19, 2020, Jeffrey T. Sanfilippo, Jasper B. Sanfilippo, Jr., Lisa A. Sanfilippo, John E. Sanfilippo and James J. Sanfilippo (the “SanfilippoGroup”) own or control Common Stock (one vote per share) and Class A Stock (ten votes per share on all matters other than the election of Common Stockdirectors) representing approximately a 50.9% voting interest in the Company. As of August 19, 2020, Michael J. Valentine and Mathias A. Valentine (the“Valentine Group”) own or control Common Stock (one vote per share) and Class A Stock (ten votes per share on all matters other than the election ofCommon Stock directors) representing approximately a 23.9% voting interest in the Company. In addition, the Sanfilippo Group and the Valentine Group asholders of the Class A Stock are entitled to elect six Class A Directors which represents 67% of our entire Board of Directors. As a result, the SanfilippoGroup and the Valentine Group together are able to direct the election of a majority of the members to the Board of Directors. In addition, the SanfilippoGroup is able to exert certain influence on our business, or take certain actions, that cannot be counteracted by another stockholder or group of stockholders.The Sanfilippo Group is able to determine the outcome of nearly all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including any amendments to ourcertificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Sanfilippo Group has the power to prevent or cause dividends, or a change in control or sale of the Company,which may or may not be in the best interests of other stockholders, and can take other actions that may be less favorable to other stockholders and morefavorable to the Sanfilippo Group, subject to applicable legal limitations, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows. 10In addition, several members of the Sanfilippo Group that beneficially own a significant interest in our Company have pledged a substantial portion of theCompany’s Class A Stock that they own to secure loans made to them by financial institutions. If a stockholder defaults on any of its obligations underthese pledge agreements or the related loan documents, these banks may have the right to sell the pledged shares. Such a sale could cause our Company’sstock price to decline. Many of the occurrences that could result in a foreclosure of the pledged shares are out of our control and are unrelated to ouroperations. Because these shares are pledged to secure loans, the occurrence of an event of default could result in a sale of pledged shares that could cause achange of control of our Company, even when such a change may not be in the best interests of our stockholders, and it could also result in a default undercertain material contracts to which we are a party, including an event of default under the Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Wells FargoCapital Finance (f/k/a Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC), as the arranger and administrative agent and a syndicate of lenders, dated February 7, 2008 andsubsequently amended and restated in March 2020 (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”), which could materially and adversely affect ourfinancial condition, results of operations and cash flows.Increased Production, Transportation and Insurance Costs Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOur results are dependent on controlling a variety of costs, including, among other expenses, transportation costs, production costs and insurance costs. Inrecent years and again during the summer of 2020, we have experienced variability in transportation costs due to additional demand in shipping by a varietyof market participants, a general shortage of drivers, partially due to health and safety concerns, lower unemployment, and federal regulations, whichrequire increased monitoring of driving time using electronic monitoring technology. In addition to transportation costs, we have at times experiencedincreased commodity or raw material costs, increased packaging material prices, higher general water, energy and fuel costs, and increased insurance costs,such as for property insurance and directors’ and officers’ insurance. We also have recently been required to self-insure some of our risks due to certainincreased insurance premiums. Maintaining the prices of our products, initiating price increases (including passing along price increases for commoditiesused in our products) and increasing the demand for our products (especially when prices for our products are decreasing due to commodity pricedecreases), all of which are important to our plans to increase profitability, may be materially and adversely affected or undermined by such increases inproduction and operation costs. Material and sustained increases in any of the foregoing costs could materially and adversely affect our financial conditionand results of operations.Litigation Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsWe have been the subject of litigation and investigations in the past, and we may become the subject of litigation and investigations in the future, whichmay include lawsuits or claims related to contracts, intellectual property, product recalls, product liability, the marketing and labeling of products,employment matters, wage and hour matters, environmental matters or other aspects of our business. Plaintiffs or regulatory bodies could seek recovery ofvery large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to lawsuits and investigations is difficult to estimateaccurately. Additionally, many of our customer contracts require us to indemnify and assume the defense of any third party claim against the customer,increasing the risk of litigation related to our operations. Regardless of whether any claims against us are valid, or whether we are ultimately held liable,such litigation and investigations may be expensive to defend and may divert time, money and management attention away from our operations andnegatively impact our financial performance. We maintain insurance in amounts we believe to be adequate based on our business operations. However, wemay incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured, that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or that our insurers may raise variousobjections and exceptions to coverage. A judgment or settlement for significant monetary damages or requiring other significant changes to our business orassets could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any adverse publicity resulting from allegations orinvestigations may also adversely affect our reputation and the reputation of our products, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our financialcondition and results of operations.Technology Disruptions, Failures or Breaches Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsWe depend on information technology to maintain and streamline our operations, including, among other things, (i) interfacing with our locations,customers and suppliers, (ii) complying with financial reporting, legal and tax regulatory requirements, (iii) maintaining logistics, inventory control andmonitoring systems, (iv) providing us with real-time feedback about our business and (v) allowing continuity of operations when a significant number ofour employees are working remotely. Like other companies, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to a variety of interruptions due toevents beyond our control, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, outages during replacement or upgrades, computerviruses, hardware failures, power outages, hackers, social engineering attacks, loss or theft of hardware, ransomware attacks, cyber risks and other securityissues. We have technology security initiatives, cyber insurance and disaster recovery plans in place to mitigate our risk to these vulnerabilities, but thesemeasures may not be adequate, particularly as the global dependence on technology and the sophistication of cyber threats increase and more of ouremployees are working remotely. In addition, if we are unable to prevent security breaches or disclosure of non-public information, we may suffer financialand reputational damage, litigation or remediation costs or penalties because of the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information belonging to us or toour customers, consumers, or suppliers. 11In addition, we have outsourced several information technology support services and administrative functions to third-party service providers and mayoutsource other functions in the future to achieve cost savings and efficiencies. If the service providers to which we outsource these functions do notperform effectively, we may not be able to achieve the expected cost savings and may have to incur additional costs to correct errors made by such serviceproviders. Depending on the function involved, such errors may also lead to business disruption, processing inefficiencies, the loss of or damage tointellectual property through security breach, the loss of sensitive data through security breach, or otherwise. While we or any third party service providerhave not experienced any significant disruption, failure or breach impacting our information technology systems, any such disruption, failure or breachcould adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.Our Products are Processed at a Limited Number of Production Facilities and any Significant Disruption at any of Our Production Facilities orDisruption with a Third Party Supplier Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOur products are shelled, manufactured or otherwise processed at our five production facilities. However, certain nut and nut-related products, including theshelling of peanuts, walnuts and pecans and processing and packaging of certain other products, are conducted only at a single location. If any of theseproduction facilities experiences a disruption for any reason, including a work stoppage, power failure, fire, pandemic, terrorism or weather relatedcondition or natural disaster, this could result in a significant reduction or elimination of the availability of some of our products. For example, in fiscal2020, we experienced a fire at our Garysburg facility and our peanut roasting production capabilities were negatively impacted. Although we were able toobtain coverage for certain products processed at the Garysburg facility, there would be no guarantee that we would be able to do so in the future. Inaddition, a dispute with, or disruption at, a significant third party supplier, service provider or distributor may impact our ability to produce, package,market, transport and sell our products. If we were not able to obtain alternate production, shelling or processing capability in a timely manner or onsatisfactory terms, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Inability to Protect Our Intellectual Property or Avoid Intellectual Property Disputes Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Conditionand Results of OperationsWe consider our intellectual property rights, particularly and most notably our brand trademarks (such as our Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, SquirrelBrand, Southern Style Nuts and Sunshine Country trademarks), but also our patents, trade secrets, know-how copyrights and licensing agreements, to be asignificant and valuable aspect of our business. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent, service mark,trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements, third party nondisclosure and assignment agreements and policing of third partymisuses of our intellectual property both domestically and internationally. Our failure to obtain or adequately protect our trademarks, products, new featuresof our products, or our trade secrets and technology, or any change in law or other changes that serve to lessen or remove the current legal protections of ourintellectual property, may diminish our competitiveness and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.In addition, we may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our technology, brands or products. Any disputes regardingpatents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from ourbusiness operations. Third party claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly license agreements. We also may besubject to significant damages or injunctions against development and sale of certain products if found to be liable for infringing activity. Any suchactivities could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.Unsuccessful Implementation of Our Strategic Plan Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsWe developed a strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”), to help us achieve long-term profitable growth. As part of this Strategic Plan, we have taken a numberof actions including, among other things, promotion of our branded recipe and snack nut products, expanding distribution in traditional retail channels andalternative channels and other strategies related to increasing sales of non-branded business at existing key customers. In addition to these actions, we intendto improve our research and development and marketing capabilities to improve the quality, innovation and sales of our products. We are taking theseactions in order to increase sales in all of our distribution channels. There are no assurances that we will be successful in achieving any portion of ourStrategic Plan, or any other efficiency measures. 12In addition, we have in the past, as part of our Strategic Plan, engaged in strategic acquisitions and joint ventures including the acquisition of SquirrelBrand, L.P. in November 2017 (the “Acquisition”). As part of our Strategic Plan, we also intend to make investments in and enter into strategicrelationships with growth-stage companies to take advantage of our manufacturing and supply chain expertise. However, we may be unsuccessful inmanaging completed acquisitions or joint ventures, identifying additional acquisitions, joint ventures or investments, or negotiating favorable financial orother terms with third parties which are attractive or advantageous to grow or otherwise supplement our existing business. In addition, the identification,negotiation and completion of any acquisition, joint venture or investment may divert management’s attention from ordinary business matters, require anumber of one-time or ongoing advisory costs, result in the loss of employees or customers of our business or the acquired business, involve the assumptionof unknown and potentially significant liabilities or result in impairment charges if the assumptions underlying the purchase or investment are not satisfied.Due to various uncertainties inherent in such activities, we may be unable to achieve a substantial portion of any anticipated benefits or cost savings fromprevious acquisitions, or joint ventures or investments or other anticipated benefits in the timeframe we anticipate, or at all.Any inability to realize the anticipated benefits from the Strategic Plan could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results ofoperations.Increases in Labor Costs or Work Stoppages or Strikes Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of OperationsAs the number of our employees has grown, personnel costs, including the costs of medical and other employee health and welfare benefits, have increased.These costs can vary substantially as a result of an increase in the number, mix and experience of our employees and changes in health care and otheremployment-related laws. There are no assurances that we will succeed in reducing future increases in such costs, particularly if government regulationsrequire us to change our health and welfare benefits, government regulations impose additional monitoring and compliance expenses, or we need to attractand retain additional qualified personnel or provide extra compensation due to the impact of COVID-19 or any other pandemic. Increases in personnel costscan also be amplified by low unemployment rates, preferences among workers in the labor market and general tight labor market conditions in any of theareas where we operate. Our inability to control such costs could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.Although we consider our labor relations to be good, if a significant number of our employees engaged in a work slowdown, or other type of labor unrest, itcould in some cases impair our ability to supply our products to customers, which could result in reduced sales, and may distract our management fromfocusing on our business and strategic priorities. Any of these activities could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results ofoperations.We Cannot Guarantee the Timing, Amount or Payment of DividendsAlthough the Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy under which the Company intends to pay a regular annual cash dividend on its CommonStock and Class A Stock, whether any such subsequent dividend (or any special dividend) is declared and the timing and amount thereof is subject to thediscretion of the Board of Directors. Decisions of the Board of Directors in respect of dividends will be based on a variety of factors, including the cashflows, earnings and financial position of the Company as well as the borrowing availability and other restrictions under our Credit Facility. The Board ofDirectors is not required to declare dividends and the number and amount of dividends is restricted under our Credit Facility and could be restricted underfuture financing or other arrangements. The Board of Directors will also regularly review and may modify or terminate our dividend policy. Accordingly,we cannot provide any assurances that our Company will pay annual or special cash dividends in the future, and if so, the amount or timing thereof. Anyreduction in or elimination of our dividend policy or dividend payments could have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock.We and our customers, suppliers and transport partners face various risks related to epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks of infectious diseases,including COVID-19, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operationsSince January 2020, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has caused significant disruptions in both the U.S. and international economies, includingin the geographic areas where our products are manufactured and sold, and the geographic areas from which our supply inputs are obtained. The potentialimpacts of COVID-19 on our business in the future are numerous, uncertain and constantly changing. While we have seen increases in demand since March2020 for certain of our products related to consumer pantry stocking, these trends may not continue and could reverse. In addition, we have seen decreasesin demand for certain of our other products, and these trends may continue or worsen. COVID-19 outbreaks, or similar disease outbreaks in the future, maydecrease demand for our products or certain of our products due to additional stay at home orders or more restrictions on public interactions that would limitthe ability of consumers and other customers to purchase our products at retailers or other points of sale. For example, we have seen significant decreases infoodservice and restaurant demand since March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 situation and various stay at home orders, reductions in air travel andtemporary closures. Should such stay at home orders, reductions in air travel or closures 13continue and/or consumers choose not to purchase from such foodservice providers and restaurants due to safety concerns, our commercial ingredientsdistribution channel could be (or continue to be) materially and adversely affected. In addition, should one or more of our significant customers file or beforced into bankruptcy or reorganization as a result of the COVID-19 situation, we may be unable to collect or fully collect any receivables owed to us andour business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We could also be materially adversely impacted byany increased or continued customer shift to lower margin products, including private brand products. COVID-19 has had a significant adverse impact oneconomic activity and the gross domestic product in the United States during the 2020 calendar year. Should an economic downturn or recession last formultiple quarters, this may result in lower demand for our products and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.While our production facilities are essential businesses and continue to operate, there is no guarantee that our current production operations (or current orcustomary production levels) will continue for our 2021 fiscal year and beyond. Our facilities are located in several different states and are subject todifferent governmental rules and regulations. The forced shutdown of any of our facilities (or our voluntary shutdown of our facilities due to unexpectedimplications of the COVID-19 situation) could result in (among other things) reduced or no production of our products or our inability to manufacture andpackage products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and results of operations.While we continue to take precautions to ensure that our workforce can safely work from our facilities or remotely, we cannot guarantee that our workforceor the workforce of our customers, suppliers and transportation providers will not experience disruptions due to COVID-19. If a significant percentage ofour workforce, or the workforce of our customers, suppliers or transportation providers, is unable to work because of illness or government restrictionsrelated to COVID-19, our ability to manufacture, sell and transport our products could be materially impacted. In addition, if we have to incur (or furtherincur) additional or unexpected costs for the safety and protection of our employees or otherwise, materially increase compensation for certain employeegroups, or incur costs related to work at home technology solutions, facilities cleaning or product transportation, such actions could materially affect ourbusiness, financial condition and results of operations.Although our suppliers are currently providing us with adequate amounts of raw materials and packaging necessary to meet recent increased demand orcustomary demand levels, there is no guarantee that such suppliers will continue to do so in the future on the same terms or at all. If we fail to obtainnecessary raw materials and packaging, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. 14Item 1B — Unresolved Staff CommentsNone.Item 2 — PropertiesWe own or lease five principal production facilities. Our primary processing and distribution facility is located at our Elgin, Illinois site which also housesour primary manufacturing operations and corporate headquarters (the “Elgin Site”). The remaining principal production facilities are located in Bainbridge,Georgia; Garysburg, North Carolina; Selma, Texas and Gustine, California. In addition, we operate a retail store at the Elgin Site.As described below in Part II, Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and CapitalResources”, the Mortgage Facility (as defined below) is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois,Gustine, California and Garysburg, North Carolina.We believe that our facilities are generally well maintained and in good operating condition.a.

See Note 7 —“Long-Term Debt” to theConsolidated Financial Statements.(2)The Elgin Office Building (part of the Elgin Site) was acquired in April 2005. Approximately 67% of the Elgin Office Building is currently vacant.Approximately 29% of the rentable area has not been built-out. The vacant portion of the office building may be leased to third parties; however,there can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space. Further capital expenditures will likely be necessary to fully lease theremaining space. 15b. Manufacturing Capability, Utilization, Technology and EngineeringOur principal production facilities are equipped with modern processing and packaging machinery and equipment.The Elgin Site was designed to our specifications with what we believe to be state-of-the-art equipment. The layout is designed to efficiently move productsfrom raw storage to processing to packaging to distribution. The Elgin Site was designed to minimize the risk of cross contamination between tree nuts andpeanuts. As currently configured, the Elgin Site can accommodate an increase in production capacity of 15% to 25% of our current capacity, howevercertain production lines are at full capacity. Additional space may be needed to fulfill any meaningful increases in future demand for the products producedon these lines.The Selma facility contains our automated pecan shelling and bulk packaging operation. The facility’s pecan shelling production lines currently have thecapacity to shell in excess of 90 million inshell pounds of pecans annually. During fiscal 2020, we processed approximately 29 million inshell pounds ofpecans at the Selma facility. The quantity of pecans processed varies depending on the amount of inshell nuts purchased due to, among other things, the sizeand cost of the crop, the impact of international demand, and expected demand based on our current sales forecast.The Bainbridge facility is located in the largest peanut producing region in the United States. This facility takes direct delivery of farmer stock peanuts andcleans, shells, sizes, inspects, blanches, roasts and packages them for sale to our customers. The production line at the Bainbridge facility is almost entirelyautomated and has the capacity to shell approximately 120 million inshell pounds of peanuts annually. During fiscal 2020, the Bainbridge facility shelledapproximately 72 million inshell pounds of peanuts.The Garysburg facility has the capacity to process approximately 60 million inshell pounds of farmer stock peanuts annually. During fiscal 2020, theGarysburg facility processed approximately 13 million inshell pounds of peanuts. Due to a fire that occurred at our Garysburg facility during fiscal 2020,the Company considered strategic alternatives for the facility and currently plans to cease operations at the Garysburg facility permanently in fiscal 2021.See Note 20 — “Garysburg, North Carolina Facility” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.The Gustine facility is used for walnut shelling, processing, packaging, warehousing and distribution. This facility has the capacity to shell in excess of60 million inshell pounds of walnuts annually. During fiscal 2020, the Gustine facility shelled approximately 34 million inshell pounds of walnuts. Thequantity of walnuts shelled will vary depending on the amount of inshell nuts purchased due to, among other things, the size and cost of the crop, the impactof international demand, and expected demand based on our current sales forecast.The Bainbridge, Selma and Gustine facilities are equipped to handle the processing, packaging, warehousing and distribution, and in the case of ourBainbridge facility, the purchasing of nuts. Furthermore, at our Elgin Site, we process, package, warehouse and distribute nuts. We currently have more thansufficient capacity at our facilities to handle the aforementioned operations.Item 3 — Legal ProceedingsWe are a party to various lawsuits, proceedings and other matters arising out of the conduct of our business. Currently, it is management’s opinion that theultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.For a discussion of legal proceedings, investigations, settlements and other contingencies, see Note 9 — “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in theNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.Item 4 — Mine Safety DisclosuresNot applicable. 16EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANTPursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K and Instruction 3 to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K, the following executive officer descriptioninformation is included as an unnumbered item in Part I of this Report in lieu of being included in the Proxy Statement for our annual meeting ofstockholders to be held on October 28, 2020.

Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additionalinformation on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows: • References herein to fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 are to the fiscal years ended June 25, 2020, June 27, 2019 and June 28, 2018,respectively. • References herein to fiscal 2021 are to the fiscal year ending June 24, 2021.As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or “Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. andour wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC.We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are soldunder a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts and Sunshine Country brand names.We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter,almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks,sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredientsand contract packaging distribution channels.The Company’s long-term objective to drive profitable growth, as identified in our Strategic Plan, includes continuing to grow Fisher, Orchard ValleyHarvest, Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts into leading brands and providing integrated nut solutions to grow non-branded business across keycustomers. We will execute on our Strategic Plan to grow our branded business by reaching new consumers via product and pack innovation, expandingdistribution across current and alternative channels and focusing on new ways to buy, with an emphasis on e-commerce. In addition, we intend to invest inour people and facilities in order to research, develop, market and sell new product offerings in fiscal 2021.We face a number of challenges in the future which include, among others, changes in commodity acquisition costs, as well as intensified competition onpricing and for market share from both private brand and name brand nut products. Our Fisher recipe nut sales have been negatively impacted recently dueto this increased competition for market share. We also face changing industry trends as consumer preferences shift to shopping in smaller store formats likegrocery and online. With restaurant closures, consumers are also doing more cooking and baking at home.We will continue to face challenges in our fiscal 2021 as result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty of future local and federal restrictions aimedto mitigate and control the pandemic. As these restrictions were loosened during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we saw a gradual increase in demandfrom our foodservice, restaurant, convenience store and non-essential retail customers. However, if conditions deteriorate in the future and consumers arelimited in their ability to purchase meals outside their homes, it will have a negative impact on the above customers, including the collectability of accountsreceivables from these customers. In our first quarter of fiscal 2021, we began to see signs of a shortage in capacity in the transportation industry, which ourtransportation service providers believe is due to driver concerns regarding health and safety from increasing COVID-19 cases and social unrest seen incertain large cities within the country. We believe this shortage in transportation capacity may continue in fiscal 2021 and may lead to increasedtransportation costs and disruptions in service to our customers and from our suppliers.The Company’s COVID-19 crisis team, which was created in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, will continue to meet on a regular basis to discuss risks facedby the Company and mitigation strategies. We will continue to follow recommendations made by state and federal regulators and health agencies to ensurethe safety and health of our employees. We have implemented a temporary work from home option for the majority of our office employees, staggeredshifts and breaks, installed partitions on production lines and office space where social distancing could not be consistently maintained and installed thermalscanners to measure temperature for all employees upon arrival. We will update and enhance these measures as new guidance is provided. In addition, wehave extended personal time off for those who are in self quarantine or ill and paid our essential production employees a 10% bi-weekly bonus from themiddle of March to the end of May. Despite the challenges faced in responding to the pandemic, the Company donated approximately $0.7 million ofinventory to food banks in response to COVID-19.We have worked closely with our domestic and global suppliers to source and maintain a consistent supply of raw materials, ingredients and packaging toprovide a steady supply of our products and our customers and consumers. To date, none of our manufacturing facilities have been significantly impactedby this pandemic. We have contingency plans in place if a manufacturing facility encounters a partial or full shut down. 22We will continue to focus on seeking profitable business opportunities to maximize the utilization of our production capacity at our primary manufacturing,processing and distribution facility located in Elgin, Illinois. We expect to maintain or exceed our current level of promotional and advertising activity forour brands while adjusting our focus to be more digital and e-commerce driven to match consumer behavior. We continue to see strong e-commerce andgrocery performance across Orchard Valley Harvest and Fisher recipe and see additional opportunities to connect these brands to consumers’ desires formore functional snacking and baking and cooking ideas, respectively. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business, such as foodsafety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base for branded and private label products. See the information referenced inPart I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties. 23Annual Highlights • Our net sales for fiscal 2020 increased by $3.9 million, or 0.4%, to $880.1 million compared to fiscal 2019. • Gross profit increased by $17.5 million, and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 20.0% in fiscal 2020 from18.1% in fiscal 2019. • Total operating expenses for fiscal 2020 decreased by $2.5 million, and our operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 11.0%compared to 11.4% of net sales in fiscal 2019. • Diluted earnings per share increased approximately 36.7% compared to last fiscal year. • Our strong financial position allowed us to pay cash dividends of $68.7 million during fiscal 2020. • The total value of inventories on hand at the end of fiscal 2020 increased by $15.0 million, or 9.6%, in comparison to the total value ofinventories on hand at the end of fiscal 2019.We have seen acquisition costs for walnuts increase in the 2019 crop year (which falls into our current 2020 fiscal year). We also continue to see decliningacquisition costs for pecans and cashews. While we completed our procurement of the current year crop of inshell walnuts during the second quarter offiscal 2020, the total payments to our walnut growers were not determined until the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which is typical.

The increase in net sales from the sales volume increase was largely offsetby a 5.3% decrease in weighted average selling price per pound, as the majority of the sales volume increase was driven by growth in lower priced trail andsnack mixes and peanuts. Lower selling prices for pecans and cashews, which were due to lower commodity acquisition costs, also contributed to thedecline in the weighted average selling price per pound.The following table summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales,because certain adjustments from gross sales to net sales, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

Fisherbranded products were approximately 68% and 69% of branded sales during fiscal 2020 and 2019 respectively, with branded produce productsaccounting for most of the remaining branded product sales.Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 7.9% in dollars and 13.7% in sales volume in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019. The salesvolume increase was driven by increased sales of trail mixes and snack nuts with new and existing private brand customers. Sales volume for Fisher snacknuts was down slightly, decreasing by 1.2% compared to fiscal 2019. Sales volume of Fisher recipe nuts decreased 24.2% from lost distribution at a majorcustomer in favor of private brand recipe nuts. Sales volume of Orchard Valley Harvest products decreased 5.7% due to an unfavorable change inmerchandising display placement at a major customer. Sales volume of Southern Style Nuts increased 28.1% due to distribution gains with new customersand increased promotional activity.Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel decreased by 16.0% in dollars and 6.9% in sales volume compared to fiscal 2019. The decreasein sales volume was primarily due to decreases in foodservice from restaurant closures, a decline in air travel and the various nationwide stay at homeorders as a result of COVID-19. This sales volume decrease was partially offset by increased sales of peanut crushing stock to peanut oil processors.Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel decreased by 20.7% in dollars and 13.8% in sales volume in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019.The decline in sales volume was primarily attributable to some lost business with one customer that increased its internal nut processing capacity, as well asthe unfavorable impact of lower convenience store foot traffic due to the impact of COVID-19 on another customer’s purchasing activity in this channel.Gross ProfitGross profit increased 11.1% to $175.8 million in fiscal 2020 from $158.3 million in fiscal 2019. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of sales, increasedto 20.0% for fiscal 2020 from 18.1% for fiscal 2019.The increases in gross profit and gross profit margin were mainly attributable to the sales volume increase discussed above, as well as reduced spending perproduced pound due to manufacturing efficiencies. Lower commodity acquisition costs for cashews also contributed to the increase in gross profit.Operating ExpensesTotal operating expenses for fiscal 2020 decreased by $2.5 million to $97.2 million. Operating expenses as a percent of net sales were 11.0% for fiscal 2020and 11.4% for fiscal 2019. Operating expenses as a percent of net sales decreased in fiscal 2020 as a result of lower total operating expenses. The decreasein total operating expenses was mainly due to decreases in advertising, freight, legal and consulting expenses, which were partially offset by an increase inpayroll related and incentive compensation expense.Selling expenses for fiscal 2020 were $59.3 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 4.0%, over the amount recorded for fiscal 2019. The decrease wasprimarily driven by a $2.9 million decrease in advertising expense primarily related to TV and magazine advertising and a $2.0 million decrease in freightexpense driven by lower rates, combined with an increase in customers using their own freight carriers to pick up their orders. These decreases werepartially offset by a $1.4 million increase in payroll related and incentive compensation expense and a $0.8 million increase in commission expense.Administrative expenses for fiscal 2020 were $37.9 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.2%, from the amount recorded for fiscal 2019. A $2.2 milliondecrease in legal and consulting fees related to an acquisition opportunity that we explored in fiscal 2019 but ultimately decided not to pursue was largelyoffset by a $2.1 million increase in payroll related and incentive compensation expense. 25Income from OperationsDue to the factors discussed above, income from operations was $78.5 million, or 8.9% of net sales, for fiscal 2020, compared to $58.5 million, or 6.7% ofnet sales, for fiscal 2019.Interest ExpenseInterest expense was $2.0 million for fiscal 2020 compared to $3.1 million for fiscal 2019. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower average debtlevels, as well as lower interest rates.Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, NetNet rental and miscellaneous expense was $1.6 million for fiscal 2020 compared to $1.1 million for fiscal 2019. The increase during fiscal 2020 was due toadditional repair and maintenance expense.Other ExpenseOther expense consists of pension related expenses other than the service cost component and was $2.3 million and $1.9 million for fiscal 2020 and fiscal2019, respectively.Income Tax ExpenseIncome tax expense was $18.6 million, or 25.6% of income before income taxes (the “Effective Tax Rate”), for fiscal 2020 compared to $13.0 million, or24.7% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2019. Our fiscal 2020 Effective Tax Rate is greater than fiscal 2019 due to a larger state tax rate, as a resultof the lower Federal benefit received since the corporate tax rate was reduced to a flat 21%.Net IncomeNet income was $54.1 million, or $4.72 basic and $4.69 diluted per common share, for fiscal 2020, compared to $39.5 million, or $3.45 basic and $3.43diluted per common share, for fiscal 2019, due to the factors discussed above.Fiscal 2019 Compared to Fiscal 2018The discussion of our results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2019 compared to the fiscal year ended June 28, 2018 can be found in Part II,Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for theyear ended June 27, 2019 and such discussion is incorporated by reference herein.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesGeneralThe primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Strategic Plan through growing our branded andprivate label nut programs and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash areresults of operations and availability under our Credit Agreement, dated February 7, 2008 and subsequently amended and restated in March 2020 (asamended and restated, the “Credit Facility”), that provides a revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Despite the current COVID-19pandemic, we anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient tofund our operations for the next twelve months. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” above. Our available credit under our Credit Facility has allowed usto devote more funds to promote our products (especially our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands), consummate strategic business acquisitions suchas the 2018 acquisition of the Squirrel Brand business, reinvest in the Company through capital expenditures, develop new products, pay cash dividends thepast seven years and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan.Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which canchange based upon fluctuations in both quantities and market prices of the various nuts and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut pricesand crop estimates also impact nut procurement. 26The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the last two fiscal years (dollars in thousands): June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 2020 to 2019 $ Change Operating activities $63,613 $83,459 $(19,846) Investing activities (14,049) (14,614) 565 Financing activities (49,620) (68,703) 19,083 Total change in cash $(56) $142 $(198) Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $63.6 million in fiscal 2020, a decrease of $19.8 million compared to fiscal 2019. Thedecrease in operating cash flow was due to an increased use of working capital for inventory, which was partially offset by a $14.6 million increase in netincome driven by increased sales and improved profitability compared to fiscal 2019. Inventories increased $15.0 million in fiscal 2020 compared to a$17.3 million decrease in inventories in fiscal 2019 which resulted in a net unfavorable change in cash of $32.3 million.Total inventories were $172.1 million at June 25, 2020, an increase of $15.0 million, or 9.6%, from the inventory balance at June 27, 2019. The increasewas primarily due to increased quantities on hand for peanuts, cashews and almonds and higher acquisition costs for peanuts and walnuts, which waspartially offset by lower acquisition costs for pecans.Raw nut and dried fruit input stocks, some of which are classified as work in process, increased by 10.4 million pounds, or 22.9%, at June 25, 2020compared to June 27, 2019. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut and dried fruit input stocks on hand at the end of fiscal 2020 fell by 7.0%compared to the end of fiscal 2019, primarily due to higher quantities of peanuts on hand compared to tree nuts, as well as lower commodity acquisitioncosts for cashews and pecans.Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $14.0 million in fiscal 2020. Capital expenditures accounted for a $15.0 million use of cash infiscal 2020, which was offset in part by $1.1 million of proceeds from insurance recoveries related to a fire in our Garysburg, North Carolina facility.Cash used in investing activities was $14.6 million in fiscal 2019. Capital expenditures accounted for a $15.1 million use of cash in fiscal 2019.We expect total capital expenditures for equipment purchases and upgrades, facility maintenance and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2021 to beapproximately $23 million. The projected increase in capital expenditures from historical amounts is due to a strategic investment for a new productline. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations andborrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for capital expenditures.Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $49.6 million during fiscal 2020. We paid dividends totaling $68.7 million in fiscal 2020. Werepaid $7.7 million of long-term debt during fiscal 2020, $3.0 million of which was related to the Mortgage Facility (as defined below). There was a netincrease in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility of $27.0 million during fiscal 2020 which occurred, in part, as a result of the increase ininventory.Cash used in financing activities was $68.7 million during fiscal 2019. We paid dividends totaling $29.1 million in fiscal 2019. We repaid $6.9 million oflong-term debt during fiscal 2019, $2.9 million of which was related to the Mortgage Facility. There was a net decrease in borrowings outstanding under ourCredit Facility of $31.3 million during fiscal 2019 which occurred, in part, as a result of the decrease in inventory and increased profitability.Financing ArrangementsOn February 7, 2008, we entered into the Former Credit Agreement (as defined below) with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 millionrevolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the“Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36.0 million (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9.0 million(“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (the “Mortgage Facility”). 27Credit FacilityOn March 5, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended andrestated our Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2008 (the “Former Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a$117.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the same borrowing capacity, interest rates and applicable margin as the Former CreditAgreement and extends the term of the Former Credit Agreement from July 7, 2021 to March 5, 2025. See Note 6 — “Revolving Credit Facility” of theNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property and fixtures andmatures on March 5, 2025. 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”).At June 25, 2020, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.40%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among otherthings, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, acquisitions and certain sales of assets and limit annual cash dividends or distributions, transactionswith affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loanavailability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, testedon a monthly basis, until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to beapplied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the CreditFacility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliancewith the financial covenant or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As ofJune 25, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility, and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenantin the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At June 25, 2020, we had $87.1 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. If this entire amountwere borrowed at June 25, 2020, we would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.Mortgage FacilityThe Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. On March 1, 2018 the interest rate on the Mortgage Facility was fixed at 4.25% per annum. Monthlyprincipal payments on the Mortgage Facility in the amount of $0.3 million commenced on June 1, 2008.The terms of the Mortgage Facility contain covenants that require us to maintain a specified net worth of $110.0 million and maintain the EncumberedProperties. The Mortgage Lender is entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Mortgage Facility in the event we default in thepayments required under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under theMortgage Facility. As of June 25, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility and a total principal amount of $8.9 millionwas outstanding.Selma PropertyIn September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing themback. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease forthe Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. In September 2015, we exercised two of the five-year renewal options which extended the lease term to September 2026. The lease extension also reduced the monthly lease payment on the SelmaProperties, beginning in September 2016, to reflect then current market conditions. One five-year renewal option remains. Also, we have an option topurchase the Selma Properties from the lessor at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original$14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting, and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debtobligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. At June 25, 2020, $9.5 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.Squirrel Brand Seller-Financed NoteIn November 2017 we completed the Squirrel Brand acquisition. The Acquisition was financed by a combination of cash (drawn under the Credit Facility)and a three-year seller-financed note of $11.5 million (“Promissory Note”). The principal owner and seller of the Squirrel Brand business was subsequentlyappointed as an executive officer of the Company and was considered a related party until the employment of this executive officer with the Companyceased during fiscal 2020. The Promissory Note is unsecured, bears interest at 5.5% per annum and is payable in equal monthly principal payments of$0.3 million, plus interest, which began in January 2018. Upon an event of default, as defined in the Promissory Note, the interest rate increases to 7.5%until such event of default is cured. We can pre-pay the Promissory Note at any time during the three-year period without penalty. At June 25, 2020, theprincipal amount of $1.6 million of the Promissory Note was outstanding. 28Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsAs of June 25, 2020, we were not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by theSEC.Contractual Cash ObligationsAt June 25, 2020, we had the following contractual cash obligations for long-term debt (including scheduled interest payments), operating leases, the CreditFacility, purchase obligations, retirement plans and other long-term liabilities (amounts in this subsection in thousands): Total Less Than1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years More Than5 Years Long-term debt obligations (1) $24,882 $6,304 $8,508 $2,477 $7,593 Minimum operating lease commitments 4,688 1,534 2,493 659 2 Revolving credit facility borrowings 27,008 27,008 — — — Purchase obligations (2) 216,334 216,334 — — — Retirement plans (3) 32,383 729 1,543 1,907 28,204 Other 188 91 92 5 — Total contractual cash obligations $305,483 $252,000 $12,636 $5,048 $35,799 (1)See Note 7 — “Long-Term Debt” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail on the Company’s long-term debt obligations.(2)The purchase obligations primarily represent inventory purchase commitments; however, these amounts exclude purchase commitments under walnutpurchase agreements due to the uncertainty of pricing and quantity.(3)Represents projected retirement obligations. See Note 13 — “Employee Benefit Plans” and Note 14 — “Retirement Plan” of the Notes toConsolidated Financial Statements for further details. 29Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesOur financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accounting policiesas disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are applied in the preparation of our financial statements and accounting for the underlyingtransactions and balances. The policies discussed below are considered by our management to be critical for an understanding of our financial statementsbecause the application of these policies places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying onestimation regarding the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks, if applicable, for these critical accounting policies are described in thefollowing paragraphs. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 — “Significant Accounting Policies” ofthe Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reportingperiod. Actual results may differ from those estimates. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.Revenue RecognitionThe Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. The core principle ofthe guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. We sell our products under some arrangements whichinclude customer contracts that fix the sales price for periods, which typically can be up to one year for some commercial ingredient customers. We also sellour products through specific programs consisting of promotion allowances, volume and customer rebates and marketing allowances, among others, toconsumer and some commercial ingredient users. We recognize revenue as performance obligations are fulfilled, which occurs when control passes to ourcustomers. We report all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue, including those amounts related to shipping and handling. We reducerevenue for estimated promotion allowances, volume and customer rebates and marketing allowances, among others. These reductions in revenue areconsidered variable consideration and are recorded in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such estimates are calculated using historical averagesadjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions and experience. See Note 2 — “Revenue Recognition” below for additionalinformation on revenue recognition.Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsWe review held and used long-lived assets, including our rental investment property and amortizable identifiable intangible assets (e.g., customerrelationships and brand names), to assess recoverability from projected undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in facts and circumstancesindicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expectedto result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows arebased on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates there is an impairment, thecarrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. We also evaluate the amortization periods assigned to our intangible assets to determinewhether events or changes in circumstances require a revised estimate of useful lives. We did not record any impairment of long-lived assets or amortizableidentifiable intangible assets in any of the last three fiscal years.GoodwillGoodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset maybe impaired. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may includedeterioration in general economic conditions, adverse changes in the markets in which we operate, increases in input costs that have negative effects onearnings and cash flows, or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods, among others. The fair value that could be realized in anactual transaction may differ from that used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.In testing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leadsto a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Ifwe elect to perform a qualitative assessment and determine that an impairment is more likely than not, we are then required to perform a quantitativeimpairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. We also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to thequantitative impairment test. 30Under the goodwill qualitative assessment, various events and circumstances that would affect the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit areidentified (similar to impairment indicators above).Under the goodwill quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of our single reporting unit to itscarrying value, including goodwill. We estimate the fair value using level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. The inputs used to estimate fairvalue include several subjective factors, such as estimates of future cash flows, estimates of our future cost structure, discount rates for our estimated cashflows, required level of working capital, assumed terminal value, and time horizon of cash flow forecasts. Our market capitalization is also an estimate offair value that is considered in our qualitative impairment analysis which is a level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy. If the carrying value of our singlereporting unit exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value.Retirement PlanIn order to measure the annual expense and calculate the liability associated with our retirement plan, management must make a variety of estimatesincluding, but not limited to, discount rates, compensation increases and anticipated mortality rates. The estimates used by management are based on ourhistorical experience as well as current facts and circumstances. We use a third-party specialist to assist management in appropriately measuring theexpense associated with this employment-related benefit. Different estimates used by management could result in us recognizing different amounts ofexpense over different periods of time.We recognize net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the plan’s projected benefit obligation into current period expense over the averageremaining expected service period of active participants.The most significant assumption for pension plan accounting is the discount rate. We select a discount rate each year (as of our fiscal year-end measurementdate) for our plan based upon a hypothetical corporate bond portfolio for which the cash flows match the year-by-year projected benefit cash flows for ourpension plan. The hypothetical bond portfolio is comprised of high-quality fixed income debt securities (usually Moody’s Aa3 or higher) available at themeasurement date. Based on this information, the discount rate selected by us for determination of pension expense was 3.56% for fiscal 2020, 4.14% forfiscal 2019, and 3.99% for fiscal 2018. A 25-basis point increase or decrease in our discount rate assumption for fiscal 2020 would have resulted in animmaterial change in our pension expense for fiscal 2020. For our year-end pension obligation determination, we selected discount rates of 2.69% and3.56% for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. 31Recent Accounting PronouncementsRefer to Note 1 — “Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accountingpronouncements.Forward-Looking StatementsThe statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Chief Executive Officer’s letter to stockholders accompanying the Annual Reporton Form 10-K delivered to stockholders, that are not historical (including statements concerning our expectations regarding market risk) are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements may be followed (and therefore identified) by a cross reference to Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”or may be otherwise identified by the use of forward-looking words and phrases such as “will”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “may”, “believes”, “should” and“expects”, and they are based on our current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties. We undertake noobligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors thataffect the subject of these statements, except where expressly required to do so by law. We caution that such statements are qualified by important factors,including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” and other factors, risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, that could causeresults to differ materially from our current expectations and/or those in the forward-looking statements, as well as the timing and occurrence (ornonoccurrence) of transactions and other factors, risk, uncertainties and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond our control. Consequently,results actually achieved may differ materially from the expected results included in these statements.Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskWe are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices of raw material purchases and foreign exchange. We have not entered into anyarrangements to hedge against changes in market interest rates, commodity prices or foreign currency fluctuations.We are unable to engage in hedging activity related to commodity prices, because there are no established futures markets for nuts; therefore, we can onlyattempt to pass on the commodity cost increases in the form of price increases to our customers. A hypothetical 1% increase in material costs, without acorresponding price increase, would have decreased gross profit approximately $5.6 million for fiscal 2020. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” for afurther discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to commodity prices of raw materials and the impact thereof on our business.Approximately 35% of the dollar value of our total nut purchases for fiscal 2020 were made from foreign countries, and while these purchases were payablein U.S. dollars, the underlying costs may fluctuate with changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currency in the foreign country from where thenuts are purchased, or to other major foreign currencies such as the euro.We are exposed to interest rate risk on our Credit Facility, our only variable rate credit facility; because we have not entered into any hedging instrumentswhich fix the floating rate or offset an increase in the floating rate. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in weighted-average interest rates would have hadless than a $0.1 million impact on our net income and cash flows from operating activities for fiscal 2020. 32Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary DataReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmTo the Board of Directors and Stockholders of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc.Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial ReportingWe have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 25, 2020and June 27, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years inthe period ended June 25, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited theCompany’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as ofJune 25, 2020 and June 27, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 25, 2020 inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all materialrespects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the COSO.Change in Accounting PrincipleAs discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in fiscal 2020.Basis for OpinionsThe Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting,and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on InternalControl over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’sinternal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting OversightBoard (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and theapplicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effectiveinternal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financialstatements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles usedand significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internalcontrol over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weaknessexists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performingsuch other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial ReportingA company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reportingand the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal controlover financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairlyreflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permitpreparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company arebeing made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regardingprevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financialstatements. 33Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree ofcompliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that wascommunicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidatedfinancial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does notalter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below,providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.Valuation of the Projected Benefit Obligation related to the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP)As described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s projected benefit obligation related to the SERP is $32.2 million as ofJune 25, 2020. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified benefit plan that will provide eligible participants with monthly benefits upon retirement, disabilityor death, subject to certain conditions. Benefits paid to retirees are based on age at retirement, years of credited service, and average compensation. Themost significant assumption related to the Company’s SERP is the discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value of benefit obligations to be paidin the future.The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the projected benefit obligation related to theSERP is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management to determine the projected benefit obligation and the significant assumptionrelated to discount rate, (ii) the significant auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in evaluating management’s significant assumption related to thediscount rate, and (iii) the audit effort included the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidatedfinancial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s determination of the projected benefitobligation related to the SERP, including the control over the development of the significant assumption related to the discount rate. These procedures alsoincluded, among others (i) testing management’s process for determining the projected benefit obligation, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of thevaluation method, (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the valuation of the projected benefit obligation, and (iv) evaluatingthe reasonableness of the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumption related to the discount rate involved evaluating whether the assumption usedby management is reasonable considering the consistency with external market data. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assistin evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation method and the reasonableness of the discount rate./s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPChicago, IllinoisAugust 19, 2020We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1982. 34JOHN B.

SANFILIPPO & SON, INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(dollars in thousands, except per share data)NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESBasis of Presentation and Consolidation and Description of BusinessOur consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC. Ourfiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). The accompanyingconsolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica (“GAAP”).We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts , almonds, and other nuts in the United States. These nuts aresold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts, and Sunshine Country brandnames. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter,almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks,sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. Our products are sold through three primary distribution channels tosignificant buyers of nuts, including food retailers in the consumer channel, commercial ingredient users and contract packaging customers.Management EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues andexpenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include reserves for customer deductions, the quantity of bulk inventories, the evaluation ofrecoverability of long-lived assets, and the assumption used in estimating the annual discount rate utilized in determining the retirement plan liability .Actual results could differ from those estimates , particularly due to the uncertain impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its customers .Accounts ReceivableAccounts receivable are stated at the amounts charged to customers, less allowances for doubtful accounts and reserves for estimated cash discounts andcustomer deductions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by specifically identifying customers that are credit risks and estimating the extentthat other non-specifically identified customers will become credit risks. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we conclude that it isprobable the receivable will not be recovered. The reserve for estimated cash discounts is based on historical experience. The reserve for customerdeductions represents known customer short payments and an estimate of future credit memos that will be issued to customers related to rebates andallowances for marketing and promotions based on agreed upon programs and historical experience.InventoriesInventories, which consist principally of inshell bulk-stored nuts, shelled nuts, dried fruit and processed and packaged nut products, are stated at the lowerof cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, lessreasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Inventory costs are reviewed at least quarterly. Fluctuations in the market price ofpecans, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews and other nuts may affect the value of inventory, gross profit and gross profit margin. When net realizablevalues move below costs, we record adjustments to write down the carrying values of inventories to the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizablevalue. The results of our shelling process can also result in changes to inventory costs, such as adjustments made pursuant to actual versus expected cropyields. We maintain significant inventories of bulk-stored inshell pecans, peanuts and walnuts. Quantities of inshell bulk-stored nuts are determined basedon our inventory systems and are subject to quarterly physical verification techniques including observation, weighing and other methods. The quantities ofeach crop year bulk-stored nut inventories are generally shelled out over a ten to fifteen-month period, at which time revisions to any estimates , whichhistorically averaged less than 1.0% of inventory purchases, are also recorded.We enter into walnut purchase agreements with growers typically in our first fiscal quarter, under which they deliver their walnut crop to us during the fallharvest season (which typically occurs in our first and second fiscal quarters). Pursuant to our walnut purchase agreements, we determine the final price forthis inventory after receipt and typically by the end of our third fiscal quarter. Since the ultimate purchase price to be paid is determined subsequent toreceiving the walnut crop, we typically estimate the final purchase price for our first and second quarter interim financial statements based on crop size,quality, current market prices and other factors. Any 40such changes in estimates, which could be significant, are accounted for in the period of change by adjusting inventory on hand or cost of goods sold if theinventory has been sold. Changes in estimates may affect the ending inventory balances, as well as gross profit. There were no significant adjustmentsrecorded in any of the periods presented.Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements that extend the useful life, add capacity or add functionality are capitalized andcharged to expense through depreciation. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation ofassets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently in operating income.Depreciation expense for the last three fiscal years is as follows: Year EndedJune 25, 2020 Year EndedJune 27, 2019 Year EndedJune 28, 2018 Depreciation expense $15,433 $14,017 $13,414 Cost is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Classification Estimated Useful Lives Buildings 10 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 to 10 years Furniture and leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years Vehicles 3 to 5 years Computers and software 3 to 10 years No interest costs were capitalized for the last three fiscal years due to the lack of any significant project requiring such capitalization.Business CombinationsWe use the acquisition method in accounting for acquired businesses. Under the acquisition method, our financial statements reflect the operations of anacquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fairvalues at the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded asgoodwill.Segment ReportingWe operate in a single reporting unit and operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut related products through three distribution channels.Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsWe review held and used long-lived assets, including our rental investment property and amortizable identifiable intangible assets (e.g., customerrelationships and brand names), to assess recoverability from projected undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in facts and circumstancesindicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expectedto result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows arebased on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates there is an impairment, thecarrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.We did not record any impairment of long-lived assets for the last three fiscal years. 4 1 GoodwillGoodwill currently represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets from our acquisition of Squirrel Brand, L.P. which closedin November 2017.Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually as of the last day of each fiscal year for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value. A significant amount of judgment is involved indetermining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include deterioration in general economic conditions, adverse changes in themarkets in which we operate, increases in input costs that have negative effects on earnings and cash flows, or a trend of negative or declining cash flowsover multiple periods, among others. The fair value that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from that used to evaluate the impairment ofgoodwill.In testing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leadsto a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Ifwe elect to perform a qualitative assessment and determine that an impairment is more likely than not, we are then required to perform a quantitativeimpairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. We also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to thequantitative impairment test.Under the goodwill qualitative assessment, various events and circumstances that would affect the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit areidentified (similar to impairment indicators above). During fiscal 2020 we elected to perform a qualitative impairment test which showed no indicators ofgoodwill impairment, despite the market uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on the economy.Under the goodwill quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of our single reporting unit to itscarrying value, including goodwill. We estimate the fair value using level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. The inputs used to estimate fairvalue include several subjective factors, such as estimates of future cash flows, estimates of our future cost structure, discount rates for our estimated cashflows, required level of working capital, assumed terminal value, and time horizon of cash flow forecasts. Our market capitalization is also an estimate offair value that is considered in our qualitative impairment analysis which is a level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy. If the carrying value of our singlereporting unit exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value.Facility Consolidation Project/Real Estate TransactionsIn April 2005, we acquired property to be used for the Elgin Site. Two buildings are located on the Elgin Site, one of which is an office building.Approximately 67% of the rentable area in the office building is currently vacant. Approximately 29% of the rentable area has not been built-out. The otherbuilding, a warehouse, was expanded and modified for use as our principal processing facility and headquarters. The allocation of the purchase price to thetwo buildings was determined through a third-party appraisal. The value assigned to the office building is included in rental investment property on thebalance sheet. The value assigned to the warehouse building is included in the caption “Property, plant and equipment”.The net rental expense from the office building is included in the caption “Rental and miscellaneous expense, net”.See Note 3 — “Leases” below for additional information.Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsAuthoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset orpaid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchythat prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level1- Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. Level2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level3- Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.4 2The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at June 25, 2020 and June 27, 2019 because of theshort-term maturities and nature of these balances.The carrying value of our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 — “Revolving Credit Facility” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements below)borrowings approximates fair value at June 25, 2020 because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria), the short-term maturity and nature of this balance. In addition, there has been no significant change in our inherent credit risk.The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our current and long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 Carrying value of long-term debt: $20,059 $27,798 Fair value of long-term debt: 20,186 27,720 The estimated fair value of long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value basedon interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been nosignificant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt.Revenue RecognitionThe Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The core principleof the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. We sell our products under some arrangements whichinclude customer contracts that fix the sales price for periods, which typically can be up to one year for some commercial ingredient customers. We also sellour products through specific programs consisting of promotion allowances, volume and customer rebates and marketing allowances, among others, toconsumer and some commercial ingredient users. We recognize revenues as performance obligations are fulfilled, which occurs when control passes to ourcustomers. We report all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue, including those amounts related to shipping and handling. We reducerevenue for estimated promotion allowances, volume and customer rebates and marketing allowances, among others. These reductions in revenue areconsidered variable consideration and are recorded in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such estimates are calculated using historical averagesadjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions and experience. See Note 2 — “Revenue Recognition” below for additionalinformation on revenue recognition .Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit RiskThe highly competitive nature of our business provides an environment for the loss of customers and the opportunity to gain new customers. We are subjectto concentrations of credit risk, primarily in trade accounts receivable, and we attempt to mitigate this risk through our credit evaluation process, collectionterms and through geographical dispersion of sales. Sales to two customers exceeded 10% of net sales during both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. Sales to threecustomers exceeded 10% of net sales during fiscal 2018. In total, sales to these customers represented approximately 45%, 43% and 54% of our net sales infiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively. In total, net accounts receivable from these customers were 44% and 40% of net accounts receivableat June 25, 2020 and June 27, 2019, respectively.Marketing and Advertising CostsMarketing and advertising costs are incurred to promote and support branded products in the consumer distribution channel. These costs are generallyexpensed as incurred, recorded in selling expenses and were as follows for the last three fiscal years: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Marketing and advertising expense $8,997 $11,936 $11,290 4 3Shipping and Handling CostsShipping and handling costs, which include freight and other expenses to prepare finished goods for shipment, are included in selling expenses. Shippingand handling costs for the last three fiscal years were as follows: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Shipping and handling costs $21,613 $23,086 $20,418 Research and Development ExpensesResearch and development expense represents the cost of our research and development personnel and their related expenses and is charged to sellingexpenses as incurred. Research and development expenses for the last three fiscal years were as follows: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Research and development expense $999 $892 $701 Stock-Based CompensationWe account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — StockCompensation , by calculating compensation cost based on the grant date fair value. We then amortize compensation expense over the vesting period. Thegrant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is generally determined based on the market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.Forfeitures are recognized as they occur, and excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies are recognized as a component of income tax expense.Income TaxesWe account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected futuretax consequences of events that have been reported in our financial statements or tax returns. Such items give rise to differences in the financial reportingand tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not thatall or a portion of the asset will not be realized. In estimating future tax consequences, we consider all expected future events other than changes in tax lawor rates.We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where we evaluate whether an individualtax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution ofany related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefitis recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, we perform the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded.The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from our estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may requireus to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates arerecorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur.We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the “Income tax expense” caption in the Consolidated Statement ofComprehensive Income.We evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets by considering our historical taxable income and future taxable income based upon the reversal of deferredtax liabilities. As of June 25, 2020, we believe that our deferred tax assets are fully realizable. 4 4Earnings per ShareBasic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding during theperiod. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised orconverted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock.The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share: Year ended June 25, 2020 Year ended June 27, 2019 Year ended June 28, 2018 Weighted average number of shares outstanding — basic 11,463,968 11,430,174 11,383,080 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options and restricted stock units 72,823 71,238 66,306 Weighted average number of shares outstanding — diluted 11,536,791 11,501,412 11,449,386 The following table presents a summary of anti-dilutive awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Weighted average number of anti-dilutive shares: 7,010 — — Weighted average exercise price per share: $90.26 $— $— Comprehensive IncomeWe account for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income . This topic establishes standards for reporting anddisplaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The topic requires that all components ofcomprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. This topic also requiresall non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate butconsecutive statements. This guidance also requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where netincome is presented or in the notes and information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated othercomprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, we provide a cross-reference to otherdisclosures that offer additional details about those amounts.Recent Accounting PronouncementsThe following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted in the current fiscal year:In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “ Leases (Topic 842) ”. The primary goal of this Update is to require the lessee to recognize all leasecommitments, both operating and finance, by initially recording a lease asset and liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date.Additionally, enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods,including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. This new guidance became effective for the Company beginningin fiscal year 2020. Under ASU No. 2016-02 the guidance was to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, with applicationof the new guidance for all periods presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 “ Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements ” whichprovides for another transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effectadjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments in this Update also provide lessors with a practicalexpedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component, similar to the expedient provided forlessees. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-10 “ Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ” which affects narrow aspects of theguidance issued in ASU No. 2016-02. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20 “ Leases (Topic 842) – Narrow Scope Improvements forLessors ” which provides specific guidance for lessors on the issues of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees, certain lessor costs, andrecognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease components. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01 “ Leases (Topic842) – Codification Improvements ” which clarifies transition disclosure requirements for annual and interim periods after the date of adoption of ASUNo. 2016-02. 4 5We have implemented processes and information technology tools to assist in our compliance with Topic 842. We have also updated our accountingpolicies and internal controls that are impacted by the new guidance. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02 utilizing the modified retrospective transition methodand did not recast comparative periods in transition to the new standard. In addition, the new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients intransition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about leaseidentification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; thelatter not being applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s initial and ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all ofour leases. Refer to Note 3 — “Leases” for additional information regarding the Company’s leases.In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain TaxEffects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” . The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensiveincome (loss) (“AOCL”) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in this Update alsorequire certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively toeach period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. TheCompany adopted ASU No. 2018-02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and reclassified $976 from AOCL to retained earnings. Refer to Note 1 5 —“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for additional detail. ASU 2018-02 was not applied retrospectively. No other income tax effects related to theapplication of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were reclassified from AOCL to retained earnings.The following recent accounting pronouncements have not yet been adopted:In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “ Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ”. The amendments in this Update are elective and apply to allentities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationship s , and other transactions that reference the London Interbank OfferedRate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update provide optionalexpedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteriaare met. The amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance and can be taken at any point in time (at the beginning of an interim period) throughDecember 31, 2022. We do not expect this accounting Update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740) ”. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for incometaxes by removing certain exceptions, providing updated requirements and specifications in certain areas and by making minor codification improvements.The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periodswithin that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. This Update is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2022. We do not expect this accountingUpdate to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’sAccounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract ”. The amendments in this Update align therequirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizingimplementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). ThisUpdate will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2021 and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurredafter the date of adoption. We do not expect this accounting Update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14 “ Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20):Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ”. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosurerequirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this Update remove disclosures that nolonger are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. This Updatewill be effective for the Company in fiscal 2021 and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We do not expect this accountingUpdate to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “ Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments ”. The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected creditlosses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this Updatereplace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of abroader range of reasonable and supportable4 6information to inform credit loss estimates. This Update will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2021 and should be applied using a modified-retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. We do not expect this accounting Update to have a significant impacton the Consolidated Financial Statements.NOTE 2 — REVENUE RECOGNITIONWe recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect tobe entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For each customer contract, a five-step process is followed in which we identify the contract, identifyperformance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenuewhen (or as) the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.Nature of ProductsWe manufacture and sell the following: • branded products under our own proprietary brands to retailers on a national basis; • private label products to retailers, such as supermarkets, mass merchandisers, and specialty retailers, for resale under the retailers’ own orcontrolled labels; • private label and branded products to the foodservice industry, including foodservice distributors and national restaurant operators; • branded products under co-pack agreements to other major branded companies for their distribution; and • products to our industrial customer base for repackaging in portion control packages and for use as ingredients by other food manufacturers.When Performance Obligations Are SatisfiedA performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition.A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation issatisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are primarily for the delivery of raw and processed recipe and snack nuts, nut butters and trail mixes.Our customer contracts do not include more than one performance obligation. If a contract were to contain more than one performance obligation, we arerequired to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling pricefor each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.Revenue recognition is generally completed at a point in time when product control is transferred to the customer. For virtually all of our revenues, controltransfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can then direct theuse and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at that point in time. Therefore the timing of our revenue recognition requires littlejudgment.The performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year, and typically much less. As such, we have not disclosed the transaction priceallocated to remaining performance obligations for any periods presented.Significant Payment TermsOur customer contracts identify the product, quantity, price, payment and final delivery terms. Payment terms usually include early pay discounts. We grantpayment terms consistent with industry standards. On a limited basis some payment terms may be extended, however, no payment terms beyond six monthsare granted at contract inception. The average customer payment is received within approximately 30 days of the invoice date. As a result, we do not adjustthe promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between our transfer of a promised good orservice to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good or service will be six months or less.ShippingAll shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in selling expense. 4 7Variable ConsiderationSome of our products are sold through specific incentive programs consisting of promotional allowances, volume and customer rebates, in-store displayincentives and marketing allowances, among others, to consumer and some commercial ingredient customers. The ultimate cost of these programs isdependent on certain factors such as actual purchase volumes or customer activities and is dependent on significant management estimate and judgment.The Company accounts for these programs as variable consideration and recognizes a reduction in revenue (and a corresponding reduction in the transactionprice) in the same period as the underlying program based upon the terms of the specific arrangements.Trade promotions, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons, are also offered through variousprograms to customers and consumers. A provision for estimated trade promotions is recorded as a reduction of revenue (and a reduction in the transactionprice) in the same period when the sale is recognized. Revenues are also recorded net of expected customer deductions which are provided for based uponpast experiences. Evaluating these estimates requires management judgment.We generally use the most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimatesof variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and relatedaccruals of variable consideration and trade promotions at least quarterly based on the terms of the agreements and historical experience. Any uncertaintiesin the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe,therefore, no additional constraint on the variable consideration is required.Product ReturnsWhile customers generally have the right to return defective or non-conforming products, past experience has demonstrated that product returns havegenerally been immaterial. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the returned product. As a result, the right of return andrelated refund liability for non-conforming or defective goods is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue, if necessary.Contract BalancesContract assets or liabilities result from transactions with revenue recorded over time. If the measure of remaining rights exceeds the measure of theremaining performance obligations, the Company records a contract asset. Conversely, if the measure of the remaining performance obligations exceeds themeasure of the remaining rights, the Company records a contract liability. There was no contract asset balance at June 25, 2020. The contract asset balancesat June 27, 2019 was $117 and is recorded in the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Companygenerally does not have material deferred revenue or contract liability balances arising from transactions with customers.Contract CostsThe Company does not incur significant fulfillment costs requiring capitalization.Disaggregation of RevenueRevenue disaggregated by distribution channel is as follows: For the Year Ended Distribution Channel June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 Consumer $673,989 $624,585 Commercial Ingredients 118,464 141,099 Contract Packaging 87,639 110,517 Total $880,092 $876,201 NOTE 3 — LEASESOn June 28, 2019 we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) using the alternative transition method under ASU No. 2018-11, which permittedapplication of the new guidance at the beginning of the period of adoption, with comparative periods continuing to be reported under the previous leaseaccounting guidance in Topic 840. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the newstandard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We did not elect the practical expedients regardinghindsight or land easements. Refer to Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 — “Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.Upon adoption of the new standard, we recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet of $5,361 and$5,320 respectively. We utilized a portfolio approach to establish discount rates for leases that are similar. 48Discount rates ranging from 4.2 % to 5.8 % were used when determining the present value of future lease payments. All of our lessee arrangements thatwere classified as operating leases under Topic 840 continue to be classified as operating leases since the adoption of Topic 842, and the pattern of leaseexpense recognition is unchanged. The adoption of Topic 842 did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.Description of LeasesWe lease equipment used in the transportation of goods in our warehouses, as well as a limited number of automobiles and a small warehouse near ourBainbridge, Georgia facility. Our leases generally do not contain non-lease components and do not contain any explicit guarantees of residual value. Ourleases for warehouse transportation equipment generally require the equipment to be returned to the lessor in good working order.We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and analyze the lease to determine if it is operating or finance. Operating lease right-of-use assetsrepresent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over thelease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available atthe commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Implicit rates are used when readily determinable. None of our leases currentlycontain options to extend the term. In the event of an option to extend the term of a lease, the lease term used in measuring the liability would includeoptions to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments isrecognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Our leases have remaining terms of up to 5.2 years.Topic 842 allows for the election as an accounting policy not to apply lease recognition requirements to short term leases, defined as leases with an initialterm of 12 months or less. We have elected to use this policy, and as such, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in theConsolidated Balance Sheet. We have also made the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases.The following table provides supplemental information related to operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities: June 25, 2020 Affected Line Item in Consolidated Balance SheetAssets Operating lease right-of-use assets $4,351 Operating lease right-of-use assets Total lease right-of-use assets $4,351 Liabilities Current: Operating leases $1,376 Other accrued expensesNoncurrent: Operating leases 2,990 Long-term operating lease liabilities Total lease liabilities $4,366 The following tables summarize the Company’s total lease costs and other information arising from operating lease transactions: For the Year EndedJune 25, 2020 Operating lease costs (a) $1,701 Variable lease costs (b) 63 Total Lease Cost $1,764 (a) Includes short-term leases which are immaterial.(b) Variable lease costs consist of sales tax.Rental expense under operating leases agreements was $1,981 and $1,988 in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. 4 9Supplemental cash flow and other information related to leases was as follows: For the Year Ended June 25,2020 Operating cash flows information: Cash paid for amounts included in measurements for lease liabilities $1,545 Non-cash activity: Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating leaseobligations $393 June 25, 2020 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years) 3.4 Weighted Average Discount Rate 4.4% Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of June 25, 2020 are as follows: Fiscal year ending June 24, 2021 $1,534 June 30, 2022 1,373 June 29, 2023 1,120 June 27, 2024 507 June 26, 2025 152 Thereafter 2 Total lease payments 4,688 Less imputed interest (322) Present value of operating lease liabilities $4,366 At June 25, 2020, the Company has additional operating leases totaling approximately $89 that have not yet commenced and therefore are not reflected inthe Consolidated Balance Sheet and tables above. These leases will commence in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 with initial lease terms ranging from 3 to 5years.Disclosures related to periods prior to adoptionAs the Company has not recast prior year information for its adoption of Topic 842, the following presents its future minimum lease payments for operatingleases under Topic 840 on June 27, 2019: Fiscal year ending June 25, 2020 $1,715 June 24, 2021 1,540 June 30, 2022 1,392 June 29, 2023 1,109 June 27, 2024 464 Thereafter 133 $6,353 Lessor AccountingWe lease office space in our four-story office building located in Elgin, Illinois. As a lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownershipof the investment property and under Topic 842 we continue to account for all of our leases as operating leases. Lease agreements may include options torenew. We accrue fixed lease income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. There is generally an immaterial amount of variable leaseconsideration and an immaterial amount of non-lease components such as recurring utility and storage fees. Leases between related parties are immaterial. 50Leasing revenue is as follows: For the Year EndedJune 25, 2020 Lease income related to lease payments $1,967 Gross rental income was $1,978 and $1,988 in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively.The future minimum, undiscounted cash flows under non-cancelable tenant operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter is presented belowand is materially consistent with our previous accounting under Topic 840.

The customer relationships resulting from the OVH acquisition were fully amortized in fiscal 2017. The brand names consist primarily of theSquirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts brand names acquired in fiscal 2018 and the Fisher brand name, which we acquired in a 1995 acquisition. TheFisher brand name was fully amortized in fiscal 2011. The remainder of the brand name relates to the OVH acquisition, which was fully amortized in fiscal2015. 5 1Total amortization expense related to intangible assets, which is classified in administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of ComprehensiveIncome, was as follows for the last three fiscal years: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Amortization of intangible assets $2,501 $3,028 $2,016 Expected amortization expense the next five fiscal years is as follows: Fiscal year ending June 24, 2021 2,165 June 30, 2022 1,896 June 29, 2023 1,657 June 27, 2024 1,414 June 26, 2025 1,156 Our net goodwill of $9,650 relates entirely to the Squirrel Brand acquisition completed in fiscal 2018.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a$117,500 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with the same borrowing capacity, interest rates and applicable margin as theFormer Credit Agreement and extends the term of the Former Credit Agreement from July 7, 2021 to March 5, 2025. The Credit Facility is secured bysubstantially all our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property and fixtures.Enhanced features for the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, the additions and amendments listed below: • The maximum incremental revolver was increased to $50,000. • The purchase-money and capital lease basket was increased to $10,000. • A new basket for unsecured subordinated indebtedness of $10,000 and a new basket for additional unsecured indebtedness of $20,000 wereadded. • For permitted acquisitions, a new two-tier alternative test was added. For any acquisition by the Company, either (a) revolver availability plusunrestricted cash must be equal to or greater than $20,000 after giving effect to the acquisition, or (b) revolver availability plus unrestrictedcash must be equal to or greater than $15,000 and the pro forma fixed charge coverage ratio must be equal to or greater than 1.00:1.00, in eachcase after giving effect to the acquisition. • The aggregate amount of dividends and distribution permitted in any fiscal year was increased to $75,000, subject to the same existingconditions of no defaults and a minimum excess availability of $30,000 , after giving effect to the dividends or distribution . • The Company is allowed unlimited investments as long as (a) there are no existing defaults and (b) revolver availability plus unrestricted cashis not less than $20,000 after giving effect to the proposed investment. • The definition of fixed charges was amended to increase the threshold exclusion of dividends and distributions to $40,000.At June 25, 2020, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.40%. At June 27, 2019 there were no borrowings on the line of credit. Theterms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, acquisitions and certain sales of assets, cash dividends,redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability underthe Borrowing Base Calculation falls below $25,000, we will be5 2required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis. All cash received from customers is required to be applied againstthe Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders are entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on thepayments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenant or upon theoccurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of June 25, 2020, we were incompliance with the financial covenant under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the CreditFacility for the next twelve months. At June 25, 2020, we had $ 87,131 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $ 27,008and reduced availability as a result of $ 3,361 in outstanding letters of credit. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the CreditFacility if this entire amount were borrowed.NOTE 7 — LONG-TERM DEBTLong-term debt consists of the following: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 Mortgage Facility (“Tranche A”), collateralized by real property, due in monthlyinstallments of $230 including interest at 4.25% per annum with a final payment dueMarch 1, 2023 $7,144 $9,542 Mortgage Facility (“Tranche B”), collateralized by real property, due in monthlyinstallments of $57 including interest at 4.25% per annum with a final payment dueMarch 1, 2023 1,786 2,386 Squirrel Brand Seller-Financed Note (“Promissory Note”), unsecured, due in monthlyprincipal installments of $319 plus interest at 5.5% per annum beginning in January2018 through November 30, 2020 1,597 5,750 Selma, Texas facility financing obligation to related parties, due in monthly installments of$103 through September 1, 2026 9,532 10,120 Unamortized debt issuance costs (44) (79) 20,015 27,719 Less: Current maturities, net of unamortized debt issuance costs (5,285) (7,338) Total long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs $14,730 $20,381 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 theamount 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”). TheMortgage Facility is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois, Gustine, California and Garysburg, NorthCarolina (the “Encumbered Properties”). On March 1, 2018 the interest rate on the Mortgage Facility was fixed at 4.25% per annum. The terms of the Mortgage Facility contain covenants that require us to maintain a specified net worth of $110,000 and maintain the Encumbered Properties.The Mortgage Lender is entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Mortgage Facility in the event we default in the paymentsrequired under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the MortgageFacility. As of June 25, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Mortgage Facility. The carrying amount of assets pledged ascollateral for the Mortgage Facility was approximately $67,043 at June 25, 2020.In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties to two related party partnerships for $14,300 and are leasing them back. The selling price wasdetermined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma, Texas propertieshad an initial ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. In September 2015, we signed a lease renewal which exercisedtwo five-year renewal options and extended the term of our Selma lease to September 18, 2026. The lease extension also reduced the base monthly leaseamount to $103, beginning in September 2016. One five-year renewal option remains. Also, we currently have the option to purchase the properties fromthe lessor at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not to be less than the $14,300 purchase price. The financing obligationis being accounted for similar to the accounting for a capital lease, whereby the purchase price was recorded as a debt obligation, as the provisions of thearrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting. The balance of the debt obligation outstanding at June 25, 2020 was $9,532. 5 3In November 2017, we completed the Squirrel Brand acquisition which was financed by a combination of cash (drawn under the Credit Facility) and athree-year seller-financed note for $11,500. The principal owner and seller of the Squirrel Brand business was subsequently appointed as an executiveofficer of the Company and was considered a related party until the employment of this executive officer with the Company ceased in the second quarter offiscal 2020. The Promissory Note is unsecured, bears interest at 5.5% per annum and is payable in equal monthly principal payments of $319, plus interestwhich began in January 2018. Upon an event of default, as defined in the Promissory Note, the interest rate increases to 7.5% until such event of default iscured. We can pre-pay the Promissory Note at any time during the three-year period without penalty. At June 25, 2020, the principal amount of $1,597 ofthe Promissory Note was outstanding. Since he is no longer considered a related party, the outstanding balance on the Promissory Note is not reflected asrelated party debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 25, 2020. Interest paid on the Promissory Note while the former executive officer was arelated party was $127 for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2020, $413 for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2019, and $338 for the fiscal year ended June 28,2018.Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows for the fiscal years ending: June 24, 2021 5,309 June 30, 2022 3,890 June 29, 2023 3,213 June 27, 2024 722 June 26, 2025 775 Thereafter 6,150 $20,059 NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXESThe provision for income taxes is based entirely on income before income taxes earned in the United States, and is as follows for the last three fiscal years: For the Year Ended: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 June 28, 2018 Current: Federal $14,588 $10,309 $10,722 State 3,909 2,951 2,464 Total current expense 18,497 13,260 13,186 Deferred: Deferred federal 137 395 3,902 Deferred state (33) (693) (238) Total deferred expense (benefit) 104 (298) 3,664 Total income tax expense $18,601 $12,962 $16,850 The reconciliations of income taxes at the statutory federal income tax rate to income tax expense reported in the Consolidated Statements ofComprehensive Income for the last three fiscal years are as follows: June 25,2020 June 27,2019 June 28,2018 Federal statutory income tax rate 21.0% 21.0% 28.1% State income taxes, net of federal benefit 4.2 3.1 3.1 Impact of Tax Reform — — 6.3 Section 162(m) Limitation 1.2 1.1 — Research and development tax credit (0.3) (0.3) (0.2) Domestic manufacturing deduction — — (2.2) Windfall tax benefits (0.4) (0.2) (1.0) Uncertain tax positions — 0.1 0.1 Other (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) Effective tax rate 25.6% 24.7% 34.1% 5 4Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement basisand the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised of thefollowing: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 Deferred tax assets (liabilities): Accounts receivable $355 $332 Employee compensation 1,534 1,673 Inventory 189 309 Depreciation and amortization (11,260) (10,847) Capitalized leases 1,145 1,117 Goodwill and intangible assets 2,885 3,182 Retirement plan 8,373 6,599 Workers’ compensation 1,932 1,862 Share based compensation 1,344 1,305 Other 291 191 Net deferred tax asset — long term 6,788 5,723 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred taxassets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the characternecessary during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred taxliabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making thisassessment. If or when recognized, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance will be recognized as a reduction of income taxexpense.For the years ending June 25, 2020 and June 27, 2019, unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were $204 and $259. Accrued interestand penalties related to uncertain tax positions are not material for any periods presented. Interest and penalties within income tax expense were not materialfor any period presented. The total gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were $203 and $240 at June 25, 2020 and June 27, 2019, respectively.A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: June 25,2020 June 27,2019 June 28,2018 Beginning balance $240 $207 $174 Gross increases — tax positions in prior year 16 — 6Gross decreases — tax positions in prior year (24) (6) — Settlements — — — Gross increases — tax positions in current year 60 39 27 Lapse of statute of limitations (89) — — Ending balance $203 $240 $207 Unrecognized tax benefits, that if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate on income from continuing operations, are as follows: June 25,2020 June 27,2019 June 28,2018 Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect annual effective tax rate $196 $217 $177 During fiscal 2020, the change in unrecognized tax benefits due to statute expiration was not material. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized taxbenefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. 5 5There were certain changes in state tax laws during the period, for which the impact was insignificant. We file income tax returns with federal and state taxauthorities within the United States of America. Our federal and Illinois tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2017 through 2019. Our California taxreturns for fiscal 2016 through 2019 are open for audit. No other tax jurisdictions are material to us.NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESLitigationWe are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcomes ofthese proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, legal proceedingsare subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial money damages in excess ofany appropriate accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a materialadverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITYOur Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Class A Stock”), has cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of those directors which theholders of Class A Stock are entitled to elect, and 10 votes per share on all other matters on which holders of our Class A Stock and Common Stock areentitled to vote, with the exception of election of the directors for which the holders of Common Stock are eligible to elect. In addition, each share ofClass A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into one share of Common Stock and automatically converts into one share of CommonStock upon any sale or transfer other than to related individuals or certain other events as set forth in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each share ofour Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) has noncumulative voting rights of one vote per share. The Class A Stock and the CommonStock are entitled to share equally, on a share-for-share basis, in any cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors, and the holders of the CommonStock are entitled to elect 25%, rounded up to the nearest whole number, of the members comprising the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2017, our Boardof Directors adopted a dividend policy under which it intends to pay an annual cash dividend on our Common Stock and Class A Stock during the firstquarter of each fiscal year.NOTE 11 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANSAt our annual meeting of stockholders on October 29, 2014, our stockholders approved a new equity incentive plan (the “2014 Omnibus Plan”) under whichawards of options and other stock-based awards may be made to employees, officers or non-employee directors of our Company. A total of 1,000,000shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants of awards thereunder, which may be in the form of options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciationrights (“SARs”), performance shares, performance units, Common Stock or dividends and dividend equivalents. As of June 25, 2020, there were 719,269shares of Common Stock that remained authorized for future grants of awards, subject to the limitations set below. Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan,the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options or SARs may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed500,000 shares (this limit applies separately with respect to each type of award). Additionally, under the terms of the 2014 Omnibus Plan, for awards ofrestricted stock, RSUs, performance shares or other stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation: (i) the totalnumber of shares of Common Stock that may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 250,000 shares (this limit applies separatelyto each type of award) and (ii) the maximum amount that may be paid to any participant for awards that are payable in cash or property other than CommonStock in any calendar year is $5,000. During fiscal 2017, the Board of Directors adopted an equity grant cap which further restricted the number of awardsthat could be made to any one participant or in the aggregate. The equity grant cap limited the number of awards to 250,000 awards to all participants and20,000 awards to any one participant in a fiscal year. Except as set forth in the 2014 Omnibus Plan, RSUs have vesting periods of three years for awardsto employees and one year for awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Recipients of RSUs have the option to defer receipt of vestedshares until a specified later date, typically soon after separation from the Company. The exercise price of stock options is determined as set forth in the2014 Omnibus 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 dateof grant. Except as set forth in the 2014 Omnibus Plan, stock options expire upon termination of employment or directorship, as applicable. Stock optionsgranted under the 2014 Omnibus Plan are exercisable 25% annually commencing on the first anniversary date of grant and become fully exercisable on thefourth anniversary date of grant. Options generally will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they were granted. We issue new shares ofCommon Stock upon exercise of stock options.We determine the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model; however, there were no options granted in fiscal 2020,fiscal 2019 or fiscal 2018. 5 6The following is a summary of stock option activity for the year ended June 25, 2020: Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years AggregateIntrinsic Value Outstanding at June 27, 2019 500 $8.71 Granted — — Exercised (500) 8.71 Forfeited — — Outstanding and exercisable at June 25, 2020 — $— — $— The following table summarizes the total intrinsic value of all options exercised and the total cash received from the exercise of options for the last threefiscal years: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Total intrinsic value of options exercised $38 $— $79 Total cash received from exercise of options $4 $— $16 The fair value of RSUs is generally determined based on the market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs granted for theyears ended June 25, 2020, June 27, 2019 and June 28, 2018 was $3,528, $3,334 and $3,296, respectively.The following is a summary of RSU activity for the year ended June 25, 2020: Restricted Stock Units Shares Weighted-Average Grant- Date Fair Value Outstanding at June 27, 2019 188,992 $46.79 Granted 38,572 91.47 Vested (a) (38,333) 60.55 Forfeited (22,352) 64.28 Outstanding at June 25, 2020 166,879 $51.62 (a)The number of RSUs vested includes shares that were withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.At June 25, 2020 there were 57,871 RSUs outstanding that were vested but deferred. At June 27, 2019 there were 55,628 RSUs outstanding that were vestedbut deferred. The non-vested RSUs at June 25, 2020 will vest over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. The fair value of RSUs that vested for the yearsended June 25, 2020, June 27, 2019 and June 28, 2018 was $2,321, $2,744 and $2,680, respectively.The following table summarizes compensation cost charged to earnings for all equity compensation plans and the total income tax benefit recognized for thelast three fiscal years: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 Compensation cost charged to earnings $2,472 $2,644 $2,796 Income tax benefit recognized 618 661 895 At June 25, 2020, there was $3,307 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted underour stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. 5 7NOTE 12 — CASH DIVIDENDSOur Board of Directors declared the following cash dividends payable in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019: Declaration Date Record Date Dividend PerShare Total Amount Payment DateApril 29, 2020 May 27, 2020 $ 1.00 $ 11,472 June 17, 2020October 29, 2019 November 26, 2019 $2.00 $ 22,947 December 10, 2019July 10, 2019 August 6, 2019 $3.00 $ 34,321 August 20, 2019July 10, 2018 August 3, 2018 $2.55 $ 29,074 August 17, 2018On July 9, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.85 per share and a regular annual cash dividend of $0.65 per share on allissued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company. Refer to Note 21 — “Subsequent Event” below.NOTE 13 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANSWe maintain a contributory plan established pursuant to the provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides retirementbenefits for all nonunion employees meeting minimum age and service requirements. We currently match 100% of the first three percent contributed byeach employee and 50% of the next two percent contributed, up to certain maximums specified in the plan. Expense for the 401(k) plan was as follows forthe last three fiscal years: Year endedJune 25, 2020 Year endedJune 27, 2019 Year endedJune 28, 2018 401(k) plan expense $2,116 $2,040 $1,741 During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded a long-term liability of $868 for the withdrawal from the multiemployer plan (“Route pension”) for thestep-van drivers that were employed for our store-door delivery system that was discontinued during fiscal 2008. Pursuant to terms of settlement with alabor union, we are making monthly payments of $8 (including interest) through April 2022.The total Route pension liability was as follows for the last two fiscal years: June 25,2020 June 27,2019 Route pension liability $168 $251 Virtually all of our salaried employees participate in our Sanfilippo Value Added Plan (as amended, the “SVA Plan”), which is a cash incentive plan (aneconomic value added-based program) administered by our Compensation Committee. We accrue expense related to the SVA Plan in the annual period thatthe economic performance underlying such performance occurs. This method of expense recognition properly matches the expense associated withimproved economic performance with the period the improved performance occurs on a systematic and rational basis. The SVA Plan payments, if any, arepaid to participants in the first quarter of the following fiscal year. 5 8NOTE 14 — RETIREMENT PLANThe Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is an unfunded, non-qualified benefit plan that will provide eligible participants with monthlybenefits upon retirement, disability or death, subject to certain conditions. Benefits paid to retirees are based on age at retirement, years of credited service,and average compensation. We use our fiscal year-end as the measurement date for the obligation calculation. Accounting guidance in ASC Topic 715,Compensation — Retirement Benefits , requires the recognition of the funded status of the SERP on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Actuarial gains orlosses, prior service costs or credits and transition obligations that have not yet been recognized are recorded as a component of “Accumulated OtherComprehensive Loss” (“AOCL”).The following table presents the changes in the projected benefit obligation for the fiscal years ended: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 Change in projected benefit obligation Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $25,382 $21,934 Service cost 712 610 Interest cost 892 895 Actuarial loss 5,872 2,597 Benefits paid (654) (654) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $32,204 $25,382 The accumulated benefit obligation, which represents benefits earned up to the measurement date, was $25,839 and $20,985 at June 25, 2020 and June 27,2019, respectively.Components of the actuarial loss (gain) portion of the change in projected benefit obligation are presented below for the fiscal years ended: June 25,2020 June 27,2019 June 28,2018 Actuarial Loss (Gain) Change in assumed pay increases $2,352 $293 $(56) Change in discount rate 4,285 2,174 (523) Change in mortality assumptions (1,083) (69) (117) Other 318 199 185 Actuarial loss (gain) $5,872 $2,597 $(511) The components of the net periodic pension cost are as follows for the fiscal years ended: June 25,2020 June 27,2019 June 28,2018 Service cost $712 $610 $607 Interest cost 892 895 851 Recognized loss amortization 417 95 162 Prior service cost amortization 957 957 957 Net periodic pension cost $2,978 $2,557 $2,577 The most significant assumption related to our SERP is the discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value of benefit obligations to be paid in thefuture . 5 9We used the following assumptions to calculate the benefit obligation of our SERP as of the following dates : June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019Discount rate 2.69% 3.56%Average rate of compensation increases 3.38% 4.13%Bonus payment 60% - 95%of base,paid 4 of 5years 60% - 85%of base,paid 4 of 5yearsWe used the following assumptions to calculate the net periodic costs of our SERP as follows for the fiscal years ended: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 June 28, 2018Discount rate 3.56% 4.14% 3.99%Rate of compensation increases 4.13% 3.38% 4.50%Mortality RP-2014 whitecollar with MP-2018 scale RP-2014 whitecollar with MP-2017 scale RP-2014 whitecollar with MP-2016 scaleBonus payment 60% - 85% ofbase, paid 4 of 5years 60% - 85% ofbase, paid 4 of 5years 60% - 85% ofbase, paid 4 of 5yearsThe assumed discount rate is based, in part, upon a discount rate modeling process that considers both high quality long-term indices and the duration of theSERP relative to the durations implicit in the broader indices. The discount rate is utilized principally in calculating the actuarial present value of ourobligation and periodic expense pursuant to the SERP.

No personnel were injured, and there wasno damage to our peanut shelling and inventory storage areas. The fire occurred in our roasting room where all of the roasting equipment was destroyed.The fire also damaged some equipment in our packaging room and a portion of the roof. We contracted with a third party to roast and salt our inshellpeanuts to meet our current production requirements. We did not experience any negative impact on our customer service levels or a material adverseimpact on our operating or financial results for the 2020 fiscal year.After evaluating our options with regard to our peanut production operations, the Company is considering strategic alternatives for this facility and currentlyplans to cease all operations at the Garysburg facility permanently in fiscal 2021. We will finish shelling the current crop of peanuts at this facility, which isestimated to take approximately four to seven more months, after which the facility will continue to be used to store and ship inshell peanuts through theremainder of fiscal 2021. We ceased roasting operations in the second quarter of this fiscal year, which resulted in a partial reduction in the workforce atthis facility and we recognized an immaterial amount of separation costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. To date, approximately $2,000 in clean-up costsand damage to capital assets has been incurred. Insurance claims have been filed under our property damage and business interruption policies. Insuranceproceeds totaling $2,934 were received from the insurance carrier in the second and fourth quarters of this fiscal year. Insurance proceeds received fordamage to capital equipment are recorded as investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.NOTE 21 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTOn July 9, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $ 1.85 per share and a regular annual cash dividend of $0.65 per share on allissued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company (the “August 2020 Dividends”). The August 2020 Dividends will bepaid on August 21, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2020. 6 3Item 9 — Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A — Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresUnder the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFOconcluded that, as of June 25, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to bedisclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specifiedin SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and reported to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure.Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange ActRule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we carried out anevaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2020, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded thatour internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 25, 2020.The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 25, 2020 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independentregistered public accounting firm, as stated in their report contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 25, 2020 that have materiallyaffected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Limitations on the Effectiveness of ControlsOur management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Disclosure Controls and Procedures or our Internal Control over FinancialReporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,assurance that the control’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits ofcontrols must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal controls, no evaluation of controls can provide absoluteassurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities thatjudgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by theindividual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any control is based in partupon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goalsunder all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree ofcompliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control, misstatements due to error or fraud mayoccur and may not be detected.Item 9B — Other InformationNot applicablePART IIIItem 10 — Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate GovernanceThe Sections entitled “Nominees for Election by The Holders of Common Stock,” “Nominees for Election by The Holders of Class A Stock”,“Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance” and “Corporate Governance — Board Meetings and Committees — Audit Committee” and“Corporate Governance — Independence of the Audit Committee” of our Proxy Statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting and filed pursuant to Regulation14A are incorporated herein by reference.
