NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Golden Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended May 30, 2014 which can be found on our website at www.goldenflake.com/financial.html.

2.	The consolidated results of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended February 27, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fifty-two week fiscal year ending May 29, 2015.

3.	The following tables summarize the prepaid assets accounts at February 27, 2015 and May 30, 2014.

	February 27, 2015		May 30, 2014

Truck shop supplies	$	323,916	$	351,985
Insurance deposit		48,548		58,548

	$	1,571,842	$	1,277,861

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

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

6.	The Company has a letter of credit in the amount of $1,850,000 outstanding at February 27, 2015 and at February 28, 2014. The letter of credit supports the Company’s commercial self-insurance program.

The Company has a line-of-credit agreement with a local bank that permits borrowing up to $3,000,000. The line-of-credit is subject to the Company’s continued credit worthiness and compliance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement. The Company’s line-of-credit debt as of February 27, 2015 was $2,762,759 with an interest rate of 3.25%, leaving the Company with $237,241 of credit availability. The Company’s line-of-credit debt as of May 30, 2014 was $2,528,511 with an interest rate of 3.25%, which left the Company with $471,489 of credit availability.

The Company has two notes payable as of February 27, 2015. The first note was established as a construction loan in March 2009 to help fund the construction of a process water treatment facility. In September 2009, the note converted to a 10-year fixed-rate note at 4.25% for $4,000,000. In March 2011, the loan was modified by taking the remaining balance of $3,532,700 and adding another $2,900,000 to finance the purchase and implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning computer software system. At that time, the interest rate on the loan was adjusted to 3.52% and the terms were re-established at 15 years for the repayment of the loan. The Company has been making monthly payments on the note and intends to repay it at the earliest practicable date, as there are no prepayment penalties. The note has a balance of $5,037,607 as of February 27, 2015. The second note was established in order to fund the purchase of 440,875 shares of treasury stock. The $2,204,375 note is dated January 30, 2015 and is to be repaid over 5 years at 3.3%. The note has a balance of $2,169,886 as of February 27, 2015.

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

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

10.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company took necessary steps to streamline its management structure. As a result, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 2% and incurred gross restructuring charges of $1,026,980 consisting of severance costs related to the workforce reduction. As all of the restructuring activities were completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company does not expect to recognize additional costs in future periods relating to these actions.

The activity in the restructuring accrual for the three month period ended February, 2014 was as follows:

Restructuring accrual – December 1, 2013	$	1,026,980.00
Cash payments		(286,667.00	)
Restructuring accrual – February 28, 2014	$	740,313.00

The accrual balance as of February 28, 2014 was relieved throughout fiscal year 2014 and early 2015, as severance payments were completed. The restructuring accrual is included in the balance of other accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Golden Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary as of February 27, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended February 27, 2015 and February 28, 2014, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine week periods ended February 27, 2015 and February 28, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet of Golden Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary as of May 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated August 7, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 30, 2014, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our recent SEC filings, for the year ended May 30, 2014. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, management’s determination of estimates and judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities requires the exercise of judgment in the selection and application of assumptions based on various factors, including historical experience, current and expected economic conditions and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We routinely evaluate our estimates including those considered significant and discussed in detail in Form 10-K for the year ended May 30, 2014. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences may be material.

Overview

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

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At February 27, 2015 and May 30, 2014, working capital was $4,624,387 and $4,865,358, respectively.

The Company purchased 440,875 shares of treasury stock in the amount of $2,204,375 during the period ending February 27, 2015. The Company’s current ratio was 1.32 to 1.00 at February 27, 2015 compared to 1.32 to 1.00 at May 30, 2014.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

At February 27, 2015 and May 30, 2014 the Company had accounts receivables in the amount of $10,553,110 and $11,341,024 respectively, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $70,000.

Other Commitments

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

Operating Results

For the thirteen weeks ended February 27, 2015, net sales decreased 1.9% from the comparable period in fiscal 2014. For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 27, 2015, net sales decreased 3.1% from the comparable period in fiscal 2014. Revenues this year were negatively impacted by a loss in part of contract business that was not renewed. This year’s third quarter cost of sales was 50.8% of net sales compared to 52.0% for last year’s third quarter. This year’s cost of sales year to date was 50.7% of net sales compared to 51.4% for last year’s year to date. This year’s third quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses were 47.0% of net sales compared to 47.5% for last year’s third quarter. This year’s selling, general and administrative expenses year to date were 47.3% of net sales compared to 46.9% for last year’s year to date.

Market Risk

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

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

Inflation

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

Environmental Matters

Golden Flake’s waste water treatment plant is an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of process water at the Birmingham plant. The treatment plant has allowed Golden Flake to release the processing water into a neighboring creek which has improved the flow of water in the creek and has positively impacted the environment in the area surrounding the plant. This treatment plant has also helped to reduce expenses associated with sewer charges by the elimination of the disposal of process water through the public sewer system.

Subsequent Event

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
