b. Segment Reporting

We operate in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut related products through four 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) General

As stated above, we are one of the leading processors and distributors of tree nuts and peanuts in the United States. Through a deliberate strategy of focused capital expenditures and complementary acquisitions, we have built a generally vertically integrated nut processing operation 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, peanuts and walnuts at lower costs as opposed to purchasing these nut meats from other shellers. We believe that our generally vertically integrated business model typically works to our advantage in terms of cost savings and provides us with better insight into crop development. Our generally vertically integrated model, however, can under certain circumstances result in reduced earnings or losses. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.

Our products are sold through the major distribution channels to significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers, commercial ingredient users, contract packaging customers and international customers. Selling through multiple distribution channels allows us to generate multiple revenue opportunities for the nuts we process. For example, pecan halves could be sold to food retailers, 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 packaging, thus offering our customers a complete nut product offering.

1

(ii) Principal Products

Our principal products are raw and processed nuts. These products accounted for approximately 83.1%, 81.9% and 83.2% of our gross sales for fiscal 2014, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, 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, from stand-up bags, poly-cellophane packages, environmentally friendly packages, composite and clear-plastic cans, plastic tubs and plastic jars for retail sales, to large cases and sacks for bulk sales to commercial ingredient customers. In addition, we offer our nut products in a variety of different styles and seasonings, including non-blanched, blanched, oil roasted, dry roasted, salted, unsalted, honey roasted, flavored, spicy, chocolate and yogurt coated, butter toffee, praline and cinnamon toasted. We sell our products domestically to retailers and wholesalers as well as to commercial ingredient and contract packaging customers. We also sell certain of our products to foreign customers in the retail and commercial ingredient markets. We are in the process of expanding our nut distribution internationally with a number of our branded products. For more information about our revenues in our various distribution channels, see “Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

We acquire a substantial portion of our peanut, pecan and walnut requirements directly from domestic growers. The balance of our raw nut supply is purchased 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 wide assortment of other food and snack products. These other products include snack mixes, salad toppings, snacks, nut clusters, trail mixes, dried fruit and chocolate and yogurt coated products sold to retailers and wholesalers; baking ingredients sold to retailers, wholesalers, and commercial ingredient customers; bulk food products sold to retail and commercial ingredient users; an assortment of sunflower kernels, snack mixes, almond butter, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products sold to retail supermarkets, mass merchandisers and commercial ingredient users and a wide variety of toppings for ice cream and yogurt sold to commercial ingredient users.

(iii) Customers and Channels

We sell our products to approximately 650 customers through the consumer, commercial ingredient, contract packaging and export distribution channels. In fiscal 2014, we made the decision to aggregate our customers by their sell-to data versus ship-to data which resulted in the apparent decrease in customers from prior fiscal years. The consumer channel supplies nut-based products, including consumer-packaged and bulk products, to retailers; including supermarket chains, wholesalers, supercenters, and other retail food outlets, across the United States. We sell products through the consumer channel under our brand name products, including the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Sunshine Country brands, as well as under our customers’ private brands. The commercial ingredient channel supplies nut-based products to other manufacturers to use as ingredients in their final food products such as bakery, confection, cereal and ice cream, and produces nut-based products that are customized to the specifications of chefs, national restaurant chains, food service distributors, fast food chains, institutions and hotel kitchens. We sell products through the commercial ingredient channel under our Fisher brand and our customers’ private brands. Our contract packaging channel produces and packages nut-based snacks for manufacturers under their brand name. Finally, our export distribution channel distributes our complete product portfolio of Fisher branded snack nuts, private brand snack nuts and commercial ingredients to approximately 100 customers worldwide (which accounts for approximately 4.3% of our net sales).

We are dependent on a few significant customers for a majority of our total net sales, particularly in the consumer channel. Sales to our five largest customers represented approximately 57% of net sales in fiscal 2014 and 56% of net sales in both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Net sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 24%, 22% and 21% of our net sales for fiscal 2014, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Net sales to Target Corporation accounted for approximately 12% in fiscal 2014 and 15% in both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Net sales to PepsiCo, Inc. accounted for approximately 10% of our net sales for fiscal 2014 and 11% for fiscal 2013. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales for any period presented.

(iv) Sales and Distribution

We market our products through our own sales department and through a network of approximately 95 independent brokers and various independent distributors and suppliers.

We distribute products from each of our principal facilities. The majority of our products are shipped from our production and warehouse facilities by contract and common carriers.

In the Chicago area, we operate a retail store at our production facility. This store sells bulk foods and other products produced by us and other vendors.

2

(v) Marketing

Marketing strategies are developed for each distribution channel and focus primarily on branded products. Branded consumer efforts concentrate on building brand awareness, introducing new products, attracting new customers and increasing consumption in the snack nut, recipe nut and produce categories. Private brand and commercial ingredient channel efforts are focused on trade-oriented marketing.

A significant portion of our branded marketing efforts are focused on consumer promotional campaigns that include advertisements (e.g., social media, magazine, newspaper, internet, television and radio) and coupon offers. We also conduct integrated marketing campaigns using multiple media outlets for the promotion of the Fisher brand, including marketing efforts with celebrity chefs and professional sports franchises. Additionally, shipper display units are utilized in retail stores in an effort to gain additional temporary product placement and to drive sales volume. We work with third-party information agencies, such as Information Resources, Inc., to monitor the effectiveness of our marketing and measure product growth.

Commercial ingredient trade promotion includes periodically attending regional and national trade shows, trade publication advertising and one-on-one marketing. These promotional efforts highlight our processing capabilities, broad product portfolio, product customization and packaging innovation.

International sales promotion involves granting promotional allowances to Fisher retail customers and distributors in key markets, as well as occasional participation in international trade shows.

Through participation in several trade associations, funding of industry research and sponsorship of educational programs, we support efforts to increase awareness 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) Competition

Our nuts and other snack food products compete against products manufactured and sold by numerous other companies in the snack food industry, some of whom are substantially larger and have greater resources than us. In the nut industry, we compete with, among others, Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (Planters brand), ConAgra Foods, Inc., Diamond Foods, Inc. (Emerald and Diamond brands), Treehouse Foods, Inc. and numerous regional snack food processors. Competitive factors in our markets include price, product quality, customer service, breadth of product line, brand name awareness, method of distribution and sales promotion. The combination of our generally vertically integrated operating model with respect to pecans, peanuts and walnuts, our product quality, product offering, brand strength, distribution model and the fact that we focus on nut and nut related products generally enable us to compete in each of these categories, but there can be no guarantee that our products will continue to be competitive with many of our larger competitors. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” below.

(vii) Raw Materials and Supplies

We purchase nuts from domestic and foreign sources. In fiscal 2014, all of our walnuts, almonds and peanuts were purchased from domestic sources. We purchase our pecans from the southern United States and Mexico. Cashew nuts are imported from Vietnam, India, Brazil and Africa. For fiscal 2014, approximately 26% 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 to processors. We shell all major domestic nut types, with the exception of almonds, and are among a few select shellers who further process, package and sell nuts to the end-user. Raw material pricing pressure and the high cost of equipment automation have previously contributed to a consolidation among shellers 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 retail competitors who purchase nuts on the open market, we purchase a substantial portion of our pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers. However, there are risks associated with vertical integration, such as susceptibility to market declines for pecans, peanuts and walnuts. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” below.

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, especially in 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 our inventory and thus may also affect our gross profit and gross profit margin. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors”.

We purchase 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 85% of our total cost of sales for fiscal 2014.

3

(viii) Trademarks and Patents

We market our products primarily under name brands, including the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Sunshine Country brand names, which are registered as trademarks with the U.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 owned by the respective private brand customer. Our trademarks, particularly those related to our brands, are important as they provide our customers with information about the quality of our products. However, registration and use of our trademark, in foreign jurisdictions may be subject to certain risks in addition to other risks generally related to our intellectual property. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” below. We also own several patents of various durations. We expect to continue to renew for the foreseeable future those trademarks that are important to our business and expand registration of our trademarks into new jurisdictions. We intend to protect our intellectual property rights vigorously.

(ix) Employees

As of June 26, 2014, we had approximately 1,300 full-time employees, including approximately 160 corporate staff employees. Due to the seasonality of our business, our labor requirements typically peak during the last quarter of the calendar year.

(x) Seasonality

Our 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 following harvest. As a result of this seasonality, our personnel requirements rise during the last four months of the calendar year. Our working capital requirements generally peak during the third quarter of our fiscal year.

(xi) Backlog

Because 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 an understanding of our business as a whole.

(xii) Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks

The sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury to consumers as a result of product contamination or spoilage, including the presence of shell fragments, foreign objects, insects, foreign substances, chemicals, aflatoxin and other agents, or residues introduced during the growing, storage, handling or transportation phases. We (i) maintain what we believe to be rigid quality control standards and food safety systems and are SQF 2000 Code Level 2 certified, (ii) generally inspect our nut and other food products by visual examination, metal detectors or electronic monitors at various stages of our shelling and processing operations, (iii) work with the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) in its inspection of peanuts shipped to and from our peanut shelling facilities, (iv) maintain environmental pathogen programs, and (v) seek to comply with the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act by labeling each product that we sell with labels that disclose the nutritional value and content of each of our products; however, no assurance 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, we strive to select high-quality nut suppliers and currently maintain product liability and contaminated product insurance at amounts we believe are adequate in light of our operations.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties, and therefore, an investment in our Common Stock is subject to risks and uncertainties. The factors described 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 and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that are currently deemed immaterial, could also potentially impair our business, results of operations and financial condition. Investors should consider the following factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” before deciding to purchase our Common Stock.

We Cannot Control the Availability or Cost of Raw Materials and this May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations, Cash Flows and Financial Condition

The availability and cost of raw materials for the production of our products, including peanuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, walnuts and other nuts are subject to crop size and yield fluctuations caused by factors beyond our control, such as weather conditions, natural disasters (including floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes and hurricanes), plant diseases, other factors affecting global supply, changes in global customer demand, changes in government programs and purchasing behavior of certain countries, including China. Additionally, any determination by the USDA or other government agencies that certain pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals used by growers have left harmful residues on portions of the crop or that the crop has been contaminated by aflatoxin or other agents or any future product recalls could reduce the supply of edible nuts and other raw materials used in our products and could cause our costs to increase significantly.

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 commodity prices because no appropriate futures or other market for these commodities exists. Consequently, in order to achieve or maintain profitability levels, there is pressure 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 be successful in passing along partial or full price increases to our customers, if at all, and we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion. Our ability to raise prices is often dependent upon the actions of our competitors, some of whom are significantly larger and more diversified than we are. 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, our products as customers reduce purchases or substitute products. For example, we experienced a reduction in our sales volume (measured as pounds sold to customers) during fiscal 2012 that we believe was caused primarily by a reduction in demand due to the higher prices of tree nuts and peanuts. Any one or more of the foregoing aspects may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Moreover, fluctuations in the market prices of nuts may affect the value of our inventories and profitability. We have significant inventories of nuts that would be materially and adversely affected by any decrease in the market price of such raw materials. See Part II, Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Significant Private Brand Competitive Activity Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Some customer buying decisions, including some of our largest customers, are based upon a periodic bidding process in which the single, successful bidder is assured the selling of its selected product to the food retailer, supercenter or mass merchandiser until the next bidding process to the exclusion of other bidders. Our sales volume may decrease significantly if our bid is too high and we lose the ability to sell products through these channels, even temporarily. Alternatively, we risk reducing our margins if our bid is successful but below our desired price points. In addition, margins could be further reduced if prices rise and customers are unwilling or unable to accept price increases. 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 Products and Those of our Branded Competitors May Materially and Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Although demand for private brand products has increased as a result of past and current economic conditions, our competitors’ branded products have certain advantages over our private brand products primarily due to their advertising strategies and name recognition.

At the retail level, private brand products generally sell at a discount to those of branded competitors. If branded competitors reduce the price of their products, the price of branded products offered to consumers may approximate the prices of our private

5

brand products. Further, promotional activities by branded competitors such as temporary price reductions, buy-one-get-one-free offerings and coupons, have the same general effect as price decreases. Price decreases initiated by branded competitors could result in a decline in the demand for our private brand products, which could negatively impact our sales volumes and overall profitability. Such sales volume and profitability decreases could materially and adversely 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 categories than we have. Such competitors could, as a result of their size or diversified offerings, be in a better position to decrease their costs for their branded products or offer better promotions. If competitors are able to exploit their size or diversification to make significant price reductions, it could decrease our 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 Operations

Our financial performance depends in part on our ability to anticipate and offer products to our customers that appeal to their preferences. Consumer preferences, whether for name brand products or private brand products, 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 are unable to introduce new and improved products to meet consumer preferences, demand for our products could suffer. In addition, demand for our products could be affected by consumer concerns regarding the health effects of nutrients or ingredients in any of our products. Reduction in demand as a result of changing consumer preferences could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our success in anticipating and offering products to our customers that appeal to their preferences depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. We increasingly rely on social media and online dissemination of advertising campaigns as well as advertising outside of traditional print channels. Negative posts or comments about us on social networking Web sites or similar online activity could seriously impact consumer demand for our products. We are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions on how we market our products. These restrictions may limit our ability to respond to changing tastes as the media and communications environment continues to evolve. If we do not react appropriately, then our product sales, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We Sometimes Enter Into Fixed Price Commitments without First Knowing Our Acquisition Costs, Which Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

A substantial portion of our commercial ingredient sales customers, and certain other customers, require us to enter into fixed price commitments with them. Such commitments represented approximately 15% of our annual net sales in fiscal 2014. The commitments are for a fixed period of time, typically three months to twelve months, but may be extended if remaining balances exist. Sometimes we enter into fixed price commitments with respect to certain of our nut products before fixing our acquisition costs in order to maintain customer relationships or when, in management’s judgment, market or crop harvest conditions so warrant. To the extent we do so and the fixed prices are not properly aligned with our acquisition costs, then these fixed price commitments may result in reduced or negative gross profit margins which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Generally Vertically Integrated Model Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

We have a generally vertically integrated nut processing operation that enables us to control almost every step of the process for pecans, peanuts and walnuts, including procurement from growers. Our generally vertically integrated model has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in significant losses because we are subject to the various risks associated with purchasing a majority of our pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers, including the risk of purchasing such products from growers at costs that later, due to altered market conditions, prove to be above market prices. Accordingly, because we purchase a majority of our pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers during harvest season and shell and process these nuts throughout our fiscal year, there is a possibility that, after we acquire these nuts, market conditions may change and we will be forced to sell these nuts at a loss which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

6

We Operate in a Competitive Environment Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our principal products compete against food and snack products manufactured and sold by numerous regional, national and international companies, some of which are substantially larger and have greater resources than us, such as Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (Planters brand), ConAgra Foods, Inc., Diamond Foods, Inc. (Emerald and Diamond brands) and Treehouse Foods, Inc. Most of our competitors that sell and market the other top branded snack nut products have committed more resources to such brands when compared to the resources spent by us on our brands. Our retail competitors buy their nuts on the open market and are thus not exposed to the risks of purchasing inshell pecans, peanuts and walnuts directly from growers at fixed prices that later, due to altered market conditions, may prove to be above prevailing market prices. We also compete with other shellers in the commercial ingredient market and with regional processors in the retail and wholesale markets. In order to maintain or increase our market share, we must continue to price our products competitively, which may lower revenue per pound and cause a decline in gross profit margin if we are unable to increase unit volumes 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 and Results of Operations

We 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 largest customers represented approximately 57% of net sales in fiscal 2014 and 56% of net sales in both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. There can be no assurance that 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 may demand lower pricing or other terms which impact our profitability. A loss of one of our largest customers or a material decrease in purchases by one of our largest customers, or a significant business interruption at one of our largest customers would result in decreased sales and would materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are Subject to Customer Pricing Pressures Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As the retail grocery trade continues to consolidate and our retail customers grow larger, become more sophisticated and obtain more purchasing power, our retail customers are demanding lower pricing, especially private brand customers, and increased free or discounted promotional programs. Further, these retail customers may begin to place a greater emphasis on the lowest-cost supplier in making purchasing decisions especially under current economic conditions and during periods of increased 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. Our sales volume growth could suffer, and it may become necessary to lower our prices and increase promotional support of our products, any of which would materially and adversely affect our gross profit and gross profit margin and could materially and adversely 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 of Operations

If consumers in our principal markets lose confidence in the safety of nut products, particularly with respect to peanut and tree nut allergies, food borne illnesses or other food safety matters, this could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Individuals with nut allergies may be at risk of serious illness or death resulting from the consumption of our nut products, including consumption of other companies’ products containing our products as an ingredient. Notwithstanding our existing food safety controls, we process peanuts and tree nuts on the same equipment, and there is no guarantee that our 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, may discourage consumers from buying our products, cause production and delivery disruptions, or result in product recalls. Product safety issues (i) concerning products not manufactured, distributed or sold by us and (ii) concerning products we manufacture, distribute and sell, may materially and adversely affect demand for products in the nut industry as a whole, including products without actual safety problems. Decreases in demand for products in the industry generally could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cooling system at the Elgin, Illinois facility utilizes ammonia. If a leak in the system were to occur, there is a possibility that the inventory in cold storage at the Elgin, Illinois facility could be destroyed which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Risk Assessment Conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the Risks of Tree Nuts May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Cash Flows

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) intends on assessing the risks of Salmonella contamination associated with tree nuts. The results and impact of this risk assessment could lead to increased industry-specific regulation and/or additional risk-based preventive controls which may result in increased compliance costs which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Product Liability, Product Recalls and Product Labeling Claims May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations and Cash Flows

We face risks associated with product liability claims and product recalls in the event: (i) our food safety and quality control procedures are ineffective 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 and quality control procedures are ineffective or fail, (iii) our products cause injury or become adulterated or misbranded or (iv) our products are determined to be promoted or labeled in a misleading fashion. In addition, we do not control the labeling of other companies’ products containing our products as an ingredient. A product recall of a sufficient quantity, a significant product liability judgment against us, or other safety concerns could cause our products to be unavailable for a period of time and could result in a loss of consumer confidence in our products. If these kinds of events were to occur, 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 Operations

Our future success will be largely dependent on the personal efforts of our senior operating management team, including Jeffrey T. Sanfilippo, Chief Executive Officer, Michael J. Valentine, Chief Financial Officer, Group President and Secretary, James A. Valentine, Chief Information Officer and Jasper B. Sanfilippo, Jr., Chief Operating Officer, President and Assistant Secretary. We believe that the expertise and knowledge of these individuals in the industry, 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 A Common Stock, these individuals have not entered into any employment or non-compete agreement with us, nor do we have key officer insurance coverage policies in effect. The departure of any of these individuals could have a 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 also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, especially as economic conditions improve.

We are Subject to Government Regulation Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

We are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, the USDA, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and other state, local and foreign authorities in jurisdictions where our products are manufactured, processed or sold. Among other things, these regulations govern the manufacturing, importation, processing, packaging, storage, distribution and labeling of our products. Our manufacturing and processing facilities and products are subject to periodic compliance inspections by federal, state, local and foreign authorities. We are also subject to environmental regulations governing the discharge of air emissions, water and food waste, the usage and storage of pesticides, 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, may require 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 adversely affect 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 restrictions on agricultural commodities and commodity products, can influence the planting of certain crops, the location and size of crop production, whether commodity products are traded, the volume and types of imports and exports, the viability and volume of production of certain of our products, and industry profitability. In addition, international trade disputes can adversely affect commodity trade flows by limiting or disrupting trade between countries or regions. Future government policies may adversely affect 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 our revenues and operating results. Changes in regulatory requirements (such as requirements designed to enhance food safety or marketing), or evolving interpretations of existing regulatory requirements, may result in increased compliance costs, capital expenditures and other financial obligations that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

8

The Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) gives the FDA expanded authorities over the safety of the national food supply, including increased inspections and mandatory recalls, as well as 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 hazard analyses, implementation of preventive plans to control hazards, and foreign supplier verification provisions. We currently have “hazard analysis and critical control points” (“HACCP”) processes and procedures in place that may appropriately address many of the existing or future concerns arising out of the FSMA; however, any new FDA rules and regulations could require us change certain of our operational processes and procedures, or implement new ones, and there could also be unforeseen issues, requirements and costs that arise as the FDA promulgates its new rules and regulations. HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of hazards from raw material production, procurement and 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 the stock exchange on which our Common Stock is listed. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC, the Department of Justice and the Nasdaq Global Select Market, have issued a significant number of new and increasingly complex requirements and regulations over the course of the last several years and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to laws enacted by Congress. Our efforts to comply with these requirements have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, an increase in expenses and a diversion of management’s time from other business activities. Failure to comply with any law or regulation could subject us to civil remedies, including fines and injunctions, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Operational, Legal, Economic, Political and Social Risks of Doing Business in Emerging Markets and Other Foreign Countries May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations

Approximately 26% of the dollar value of our total nut purchases for fiscal 2014 were made from foreign countries. We purchase our cashew inventories from Vietnam, India, Brazil and Africa and some of our pecans from Mexico, which are in many respects emerging markets. We are continually looking to expand our sales internationally and enter new emerging and established markets, including markets within Asia. To this extent, we are exposed to risks inherent in emerging markets, including:

| • |  | increased governmental ownership and regulation of the economy;

| • |  | greater likelihood of inflation and adverse economic conditions;

| • |  | governmental attempts to reduce inflation, such as imposition of higher interest rates and wage and price controls;

| • |  | supply reduction in the United States from increased demand in foreign countries;

| • |  | international competition;

| • |  | compliance with, and subjection to, international laws, including our ability to protect our intellectual property, such as our brands;

| • |  | compliance with U.S. laws and regulations related to conduct in foreign countries, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

| • |  | foreign exchange rates;

| • |  | potential for contractual defaults or forced renegotiations on purchase contracts with limited legal recourse;

| • |  | tariffs, duties, trade laws and other barriers to trade that may reduce our profitability or sales; and

| • |  | civil unrest and significant political instability.

The existence of these and other risks in emerging markets and other foreign countries could jeopardize or limit our ability to purchase sufficient supplies of cashews and other imported raw materials and limit our ability to make international sales, and may materially and adversely affect our results of operations by increasing the costs of doing business overseas or limiting our international sales.

The Way in Which We Measure Inventory May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations

We acquire our inshell nut inventories of pecans, peanuts and walnuts from growers and farmers in large quantities at harvest times, which are primarily during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year, and receive nut shipments in bulk truckloads. The weights of these nuts are measured using truck scales 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 be shelled or processed throughout the year. Bulk-stored nut inventories are relieved on the basis of continuous high-speed bulk weighing systems as the nuts are shelled or processed or on the basis of calculations derived from the weight of the shelled nuts that are produced. While we perform various procedures

9

periodically to confirm the accuracy of our bulk-stored nut inventories, these inventories are estimates that must be periodically adjusted to account for positive or negative variations in quantities and yields, and such adjustments directly affect earnings. The quantities of each crop year bulk-stored nut inventories 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 is depleted, which may not necessarily occur every year. Prior crop year inventories may still be on hand as the new crop year inventories are purchased. The majority of bulk-stored nut inventories at June 26, 2014 were processed during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, before any new crop inventories were purchased, thus enabling us to adjust the bulk-stored nut inventories at June 26, 2014. There can be no assurance that such inventory quantity adjustments will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the future.

Certain of Our Stockholders Possess a Majority of Aggregate Voting Power in the Company, Which May Make a Takeover or Change in Control More or Less Difficult; and The Sanfilippo Group Has Pledged a Substantial Amount of their Class A Common Stock, Either of Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Cash Flows

As of August 27, 2014, Jasper B. Sanfilippo, Sr., Marian Sanfilippo, Jeffrey T. Sanfilippo, Jasper B. Sanfilippo, Jr., Lisa A. Sanfilippo, John E. Sanfilippo and James J. Sanfilippo (the “Sanfilippo Group”) own or control Common Stock (one vote per share) and Class A Common Stock (ten votes per share on all matters other than the election of Common Stock directors) representing approximately a 51.5% voting interest in the Company. As of August 27, 2014, Michael J. Valentine and Mathias A. Valentine (the “Valentine Group”) own or control Common Stock (one vote per share) and Class A Common Stock (ten votes per share on all matters other than the election of Common Stock directors) representing approximately a 24.1% voting interest in the Company. In addition, the Sanfilippo Group and the Valentine Group are entitled to elect six Class A Directors which represents 66% of the entire board. As a result, the Sanfilippo Group 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 Sanfilippo Group 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 our certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Sanfilippo Group has the power to prevent or cause a change in control or sale of the Company which may or may not be in the best interests of the other holders of Common Stock, and can take other actions that may be less favorable to our other stockholders and more favorable to the Sanfilippo Group, subject to applicable legal limitations, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, several members of the Sanfilippo Group that beneficially own a significant interest in our Company have pledged a substantial portion of the Company’s Class A Stock that they own to secure loans made to them by commercial banks. If a stockholder defaults on any of its obligations under these 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’s stock 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 our operations. 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 a change 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 under certain material contracts to which we are a party, including an event of default under the Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, (f/k/a Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC), as the arranger and administrative agent and a syndicate of lenders, dated February 7, 2008 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Essentially all of Our Real Property is Encumbered, Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Ability to Obtain Additional Capital if Required Which Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Cash Flows

Our financing arrangements include a mortgage facility, which is secured by essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois, Gustine, California and Garysburg, North Carolina. Because essentially all of our owned real property is encumbered, such properties are not available as a means of securing further capital in the event that additional capital is required because of unexpected events, losses or other circumstances, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

General Economic Conditions Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General economic conditions and the effects of a recession, including uncertainty in economic conditions and an economic downturn, and political uncertainties, including political action or inaction having an impact on the economy, could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow from operations, results of operations and financial condition. These conditions may include, among other things, higher unemployment, increased commodity costs, increased raw material costs, increased packaging material prices, decreases or alterations in consumer demand, changes in buying patterns, interest rate and capital market volatility, a weakened U.S. dollar and higher general energy, transportation and fuel costs. Maintaining the prices of our products, initiating price increases (including passing along price increases for commodities used in our products) and increasing the demand for our products, all of which are important to our plans to increase profitability, may be materially and adversely affected by general economic conditions. Among other considerations, nuts and our other products are not essential products and therefore demand and sales volume could decrease. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We have been the subject of litigation and investigations in the past, and we may become the subject of litigation and investigations in the future. Plaintiffs or regulatory bodies could seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to lawsuits and investigations is difficult to accurately estimate. 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 and money away from our operations and negatively impact our financial performance. A judgment or settlement for significant monetary damages or requiring other significant changes to our business or assets could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any adverse publicity resulting from allegations or investigations may also adversely affect our reputation, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Technology Disruptions or Failures Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We 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 inventory control and monitoring systems and (iv) providing us with real-time feedback about our business. Like other companies, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to a variety of interruptions due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers, cyber risks and other security issues. We have technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans in place or in process to mitigate our risk to these vulnerabilities, but these measures may not be adequate. In addition, if we are unable to prevent security breaches or disclosure of non-public information, we may suffer financial and reputational damage, litigation or remediation costs or penalties because of the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information belonging to us or to our partners, customers, consumers, or suppliers. While we have not experienced any significant disruption or failure of our information technology systems, any such disruption or failure could 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 Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our products are shelled, manufactured or otherwise processed at our five production facilities. However, certain nut and nut-related products, including the shelling of peanuts, walnuts and pecans and processing and packaging of certain other products, are conducted only at a single location. If any of these production facilities experiences a disruption for any reason, including a work stoppage, power failure, fire, or weather related condition or natural disaster, this could result in a significant reduction or elimination of the availability of some of our products. If we were not able to obtain alternate production, shelling or processing capability in a timely manner or on satisfactory terms, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

11

Inability to Protect Our Intellectual Property or Avoid Intellectual Property Disputes Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We consider our intellectual property rights, particularly and most notably our brand trademarks (such as our Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Sunshine Country trademarks), but also our patents, trade secrets, copyrights and licensing agreements, to be a significant and valuable aspect of our business. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements, third party nondisclosure and assignment agreements and policing of third party misuses of our intellectual property both domestically and internationally. Our failure to obtain or adequately protect our trademarks, products, new features of our products, or our technology, or any change in law or other changes that serve to lessen or remove the current legal protections of our intellectual 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 regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Third party claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly license agreements. We also may be subject to significant damages or injunctions against development and sale of certain products if found to be liable for infringing activity. Any such activities 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 Operations

We developed a five-year strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”) during fiscal 2009 and have updated the Strategic Plan from time to time, most recently in fiscal 2013, to help us achieve long-term profitable growth. As part of this Strategic Plan, we have taken a number of actions including, among other things, the 2010 acquisition of OVH, promotion of our branded and snack nut products, international expansion and other related strategies related to increasing sales of non-branded business at existing key customers. We are taking these actions 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 our Strategic Plan, or any other efficiency measures.

In addition, we have in the past, as part of our Strategic Plan, engaged in strategic acquisitions and joint ventures. However, we may be unable to successfully manage our existing acquisitions or joint ventures or identify additional acquisitions or joint ventures which are attractive or advantageous to grow or otherwise supplement our existing business. We may be unable to achieve a substantial portion of any anticipated cost savings from previous acquisitions or joint ventures 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 of operations.

Item 1B — Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2 — Properties

We own or lease five principal production facilities. Our primary processing and distribution facility along with our headquarters is located at our facility in Elgin, Illinois that houses our 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 out of 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 Capital Resources”, 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. Principal Facilities

The following table provides certain information regarding our principal facilities:(1)

(1) | We recently sold land in Elgin, Illinois, which we originally anticipated using in connection with our facility consolidation project (the “Old Elgin Site”). For a description of the Old Elgin Site, including its sale, see Part II, Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Real Estate Matters”.

(2) | The sale of the Selma properties to related party partnerships was consummated during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements — “Long-Term Debt”.

(3) | The Elgin Office Building (part of the Elgin Site) was acquired in April 2005. Approximately 26% of the Elgin Office Building is currently being leased to unrelated third parties. The remaining 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 lease all of the remaining space.

(4) | The Elgin Warehouse Building (part of the Elgin Site) was acquired in April 2005 and was modified to our specifications. The Elgin Warehouse Building is the home of our corporate headquarters, Chicago area processing activities and Chicago area distribution operations.

13

b. Manufacturing Capability, Utilization, Technology and Engineering

Our 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 products from raw storage to processing to packaging to distribution. The Elgin Site was designed to minimize the risk of cross contamination between tree nuts and peanuts. Also, the Elgin Site is designed to accommodate an increase in production capacity of 20% to 35%.

The Selma facility contains our automated pecan shelling and bulk packaging operation. The facility’s pecan shelling production lines currently have the capacity to shell in excess of 90 million inshell pounds of pecans annually. During fiscal 2014, we processed approximately 42 million inshell pounds of pecans at the Selma facility.

The Bainbridge facility is located in the largest peanut producing region in the United States. This facility takes direct delivery of farmer stock peanuts and cleans, shells, sizes, inspects, blanches, roasts and packages them for sale to our customers. The production line at the Bainbridge facility is almost entirely automated and has the capacity to shell approximately 120 million inshell pounds of peanuts annually. During fiscal 2014, the Bainbridge facility shelled approximately 64 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 2014, the Garysburg facility processed approximately 13 million pounds of inshell peanuts.

The Gustine facility is used for walnut shelling, processing, warehousing and distribution. This facility has the capacity to shell in excess of 60 million inshell pounds of walnuts annually. During fiscal 2014, the Gustine facility shelled approximately 38 million inshell pounds of walnuts.

The Bainbridge, Garysburg, Selma, and Gustine facilities are equipped to handle the processing, packaging, warehousing and distribution, and in the case of our Bainbridge and Garysburg facilities, the purchasing of nuts. Furthermore, at our Elgin Site, we process, package, warehouse and distribute nuts. We currently have more than sufficient capacity at our facilities to handle the aforementioned operations.

Item 3 — Legal Proceedings

We 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 the ultimate 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 our legal proceedings, investigations, settlements and other contingencies, see “Note 7—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Item 4 — Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

| • |  | References herein to fiscal 2015 are to the fiscal year ending June 25, 2015.

| • |  | References herein to fiscal 2014, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 are to the fiscal years ended June 26, 2014, June 27, 2013 and June 28, 2012, respectively.

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company” refer collectively to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC, JBSS Ventures, LLC and Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. Our Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility, as defined below, are sometimes collectively referred to as “our financing arrangements.”

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 sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest 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, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, nut clusters, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients, contract packaging and export distribution channels.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 we updated our strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”) the goal of which is to drive profitable growth. Our long-term goals include:

| i. | Growing Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest into leading nut brands by focusing on consumers demanding quality nuts in the snacking, recipe and produce categories,

| ii. | Expanding globally and building our Company into a leading international branded and private brand snack nut company, and

| iii. | Providing integrated nut solutions to grow non-branded business at existing key customers in each distribution channel.

We continue to execute portions of this strategy. In fiscal 2014 we were recognized as a top supplier by one of our largest commercial ingredient food service customers. We also won “quality supplier of the year” from one of our largest contract packaging customers. During the second half of fiscal 2013 we were recognized as the “supplier of the year” by two significant private brand customers, one of which is our largest. In addition, we continue to develop our Fisher brand business in China by improving our distributor network and leveraging Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. to support our long-term business strategy. Domestic sales volume of our Fisher recipe nut products continued to increase during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This growth was achieved through a combination of increased in store merchandising activity which led to increased sales to existing customers combined with distribution to new recipe nut customers. Finally, during fiscal 2014, and especially during the fourth quarter, we saw meaningful increases in Orchard Valley Harvest sales volume and sales dollars compared to the previous fiscal year.

We face a number of challenges in the future. Specific challenges, among others, include: high tree nut commodity costs (due to the continued high demand for pecans and walnuts in China) and intensified competition for market share from both private brand and name brand nut products. Although we have been focusing on expanding our sales presence in China and growing our Orchard Valley Harvest brand, these areas continue to be a relatively small part of our total revenues. We will continue to focus on seeking profitable business opportunities to further utilize our additional production capacity at our Elgin Site. We expect to maintain our recent level of promotional and advertising activity for our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands, and to develop new products for all product lines. We continue to see domestic sales and volume growth in our Orchard Valley Harvest brand and expect to continue to focus on this portion of our branded business. We believe that our efforts to grow our Fisher brand will be aided by more consistent commodity prices for peanuts, and tree nuts in fiscal 2015. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business such as food safety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base. See the information referenced in Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

Annual Highlights

| • |  | Our net sales for fiscal 2014 increased by $44.3 million, or 6.0%, to $778.6 million from net sales of $734.3 million for fiscal 2013.

| • |  | Gross profit increased by $2.9 million; however our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 15.8% from 16.3% for fiscal 2013.

| • |  | Total operating expenses for fiscal 2014 decreased by $2.5 million to 9.7% of net sales from 10.7% of net sales in fiscal 2013.

| • |  | Diluted earnings per share increased approximately 20% compared to last fiscal year.

| • |  | We sold the Old Elgin Site (as defined below) which generated cash proceeds of $7.8 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.6 million during the second quarter.

| • |  | Our strong financial position allowed us to pay a special cash dividend of $16.6 million in December 2013, an increase of 50% on a per-share basis over the special cash dividend paid in December 2012.

| • |  | The total value of inventories on hand at the end of fiscal 2014 increased by $24.1 million, or 15.2%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of fiscal 2013.

Acquisition costs for tree nuts have increased in the 2013 crop year (which falls into our 2014 fiscal year), and acquisition costs remain at levels that are significantly higher than historical averages. While we completed our procurement of the current year crop of inshell walnuts during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the total payments to our walnut growers were not determined until the third quarter of fiscal 2014, which is typical. The final prices paid to the walnut growers were based upon current market prices and other factors, such as crop quality. At June 26, 2014 there are no amounts due to walnut growers.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of certain items to net sales for the periods indicated and the percentage increase or decrease of such items from fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2013 and from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2012.

|  | Percentage of Net Sales |  |  | Percentage Increase |
|  | Fiscal 2014 |  |  | Fiscal 2013 |  |  | Fiscal 2012 |  |  | Fiscal 2014 vs. 2013 |  |  | Fiscal 2013 vs. 2012 |
Net sales |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 6.0 | % |  |  | 4.8 | %

Fiscal 2014 Compared to Fiscal 2013

Net Sales

Our net sales increased 6.0% to $778.6 million for fiscal 2014 from $734.3 million for fiscal 2013. Sales volume (measured as pounds sold to customers) increased by 8.4% for fiscal 2014 in comparison to sales volume for fiscal 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the aforementioned sales volume increase, specifically, increased distribution in the consumer, commercial ingredients and contract packaging channels. Approximately 55% of the total sales volume increase occurred in the consumer distribution channel.

22

The following 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.

Product Type |  | Fiscal 2014 |  |  | Fiscal 2013 |
Peanuts |  |  | 15.1 | % |  |  | 18.2 | %
Pecans |  |  | 13.6 |  |  |  | 15.9 |
Cashews & Mixed Nuts |  |  | 18.7 |  |  |  | 19.4 |
Walnuts |  |  | 11.7 |  |  |  | 12.0 |
Almonds |  |  | 22.3 |  |  |  | 16.5 |
Other |  |  | 18.6 |  |  |  | 18.0 |
Total |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 100.0 | %

For both fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the largest component of the “Other” product type was trail and snack mixes which include nut products.

The following table shows a comparison of net sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

Distribution Channel |  | Fiscal 2014 |  |  | Fiscal 2013 |
Consumer* |  | $ | 453,339 |  |  | $ | 436,228 |
Commercial Ingredients |  |  | 193,180 |  |  |  | 177,774 |
Contract Packaging |  |  | 98,125 |  |  |  | 85,940 |
Export |  |  | 33,978 |  |  |  | 34,392 |
Total |  | $ | 778,622 |  |  | $ | 734,334 |

* | Sales of branded products, primarily all Fisher brand, were approximately 31% and 30% of total consumer channel sales during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 3.9% in dollars and 8.6% in sales volume in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. The increase in sales volume of fiscal 2014 was slightly offset by a decrease in average selling price. IRi market data from June 2014 indicates that Fisher recipe nuts are the market share leader in the overall recipe nut category, excluding wholesale club sales. Total Fisher brand sales volume increased by 6.7% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 due primarily to higher sales to existing customers and approximately $1.4 million in sales to new recipe nut customers. Fisher recipe nut sales volume increased 22.5% from fiscal 2013, primarily as a result of increased sales to a significant customer. Partially offsetting the Fisher recipe nut sales volume increase, Fisher brand snack nut sales volume declined 15.2% primarily as a result of reduced distribution of inshell peanuts at a major Fisher snack nut customer due to competitive pricing pressure. Distribution was regained with this specific customer at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result of our category management and innovation efforts, sales volume of private brand snack nuts and trail mixes increased by 9.1% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. The above noted increase in sales volume in the consumer distribution channel was offset in part by a volume decline for cashews, primarily due to lost distribution with a major private brand customer in the first half of the current fiscal year that was regained in the latter part of the current fourth quarter.

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 8.7% in dollars and 5.8% in sales volume in fiscal 2014 compared fiscal 2013. The sales volume increase was primarily due to increased sales of almonds to a major existing customer.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 14.2% in dollars and 19.2% in sales volume in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. The increase in sales volume was due primarily to increased sales of almonds, trail mixes and chocolate and yogurt coated products due to new product launches executed by key customers in this channel. The increase in sales volume in fiscal 2014 was partially offset by a decrease in average selling price.

Net sales in the export distribution channel decreased 1.2% in dollars and 12.2% in sales volume in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. The decrease in sales volume was due primarily to decreased amounts of bulk inshell walnuts available for export. The decrease in volume was partially offset by a higher average selling price.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 2.4% to $122.9 million in fiscal 2014 from $120.0 million in fiscal 2013. Our gross profit margin decreased to 15.8% of net sales for fiscal 2014 from 16.3% for fiscal 2013. The increase in gross profit came primarily from increased sales volume. The decline in gross profit margin mainly occurred as a result of competitive pricing pressures that existed in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, and the delay in implementing selling price increases for almonds, mixed nuts and

23

walnuts until the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The decline in gross profit margin was partially offset by our ongoing continuous improvement efforts which led to meaningful manufacturing efficiency gains in the current fiscal year. The savings from these efforts allowed us to fund increases in direct labor wage rates in the latter part of the fiscal year.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for fiscal 2014 decreased to 9.7% of net sales from 10.7% of net sales for fiscal 2013. This decrease is due in part to the $1.6 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, combined with a higher level of net sales.

Selling expenses for fiscal 2014 were $48.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.4%, over the amount recorded for fiscal 2013 due primarily to a $1.6 million increase in shipping expense due to increased sales volume. This increase in selling expense was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in marketing and advertising expense.

Administrative expenses for fiscal 2014 were $29.3 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 6.3%, from the amount recorded for fiscal 2013 due primarily to a decrease in professional expenses of $1.2 million, and a $1.0 million reduction in compensation-related expenses.

Due to the factors discussed above, our income from our operations was $47.0 million, or 6.0% of net sales, for fiscal 2014, compared to $41.6 million, or 5.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $4.4 million for fiscal 2014 compared to $4.8 million for fiscal 2013. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower average borrowings.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $2.8 million for fiscal 2014 compared to $1.6 million for fiscal 2013. This change was primarily due to increased maintenance expense on the exterior of our office building in Elgin, Illinois. This maintenance project is approximately 40% complete and we expect the project to conclude in fiscal 2015.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $13.5 million, or 34.0% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2014 compared to $13.5 million, or 38.3% of income before income taxes for fiscal 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate of fiscal 2014 is mainly due to the tax benefit of losses realized through the Company’s divestiture of its equity investment in ARMA Energy, Inc. (“AEI”), an unconsolidated variable interest entity, and cancellation of a secured promissory note due from AEI, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net Income

Net income was $26.3 million, or $2.38 basic and $2.36 diluted per common share, for fiscal 2014, compared to $21.8 million, or $2.00 basic and $1.98 diluted per common share, for fiscal 2013, due to the factors discussed above.

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Net Sales

Our net sales increased 4.8% to $734.3 million for fiscal 2013 from $700.6 million for fiscal 2012. Sales volume (measured as pounds sold to customers) increased by 4.3% for fiscal 2013 in comparison to sales volume for fiscal 2012. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the aforementioned sales volume increase, specifically, increased distribution of Fisher snack and recipe nuts and private brand snack nuts to both new and existing customers. The increase in sales volume was also attributable to the favorable impact of lower selling prices on consumer demand during the second half of the current fiscal year.

The following 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.

Product Type |  | Fiscal 2013 |  |  | Fiscal 2012 |
Peanuts |  |  | 18.2 | % |  |  | 17.6 | %
Pecans |  |  | 15.9 |  |  |  | 17.9 |
Cashews & Mixed Nuts |  |  | 19.4 |  |  |  | 20.3 |
Walnuts |  |  | 12.0 |  |  |  | 12.2 |
Almonds |  |  | 16.5 |  |  |  | 14.7 |
Other |  |  | 18.0 |  |  |  | 17.3 |
Total |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 100.0 | %

For both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, the largest component of the “Other” product type was trail and snack mixes which include nut products.

The following table shows a comparison of sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

Distribution Channel |  | Fiscal 2013 |  |  | Fiscal 2012 |
Consumer* |  | $ | 436,228 |  |  | $ | 418,699 |
Commercial Ingredients |  |  | 177,774 |  |  |  | 176,611 |
Contract Packaging |  |  | 85,940 |  |  |  | 70,388 |
Export |  |  | 34,392 |  |  |  | 34,877 |
Total |  | $ | 734,334 |  |  | $ | 700,575 |

* | Sales of branded products, primarily all Fisher brand, were approximately 30% and 29% of total consumer channel sales during fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 4.2% in dollars and 2.9% in sales volume in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Total Fisher brand sales volume increased by 16.5% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 due primarily to higher sales to existing customers and approximately $8.5 million in sales to new recipe nut customers. Recent market data indicates that Fisher recipe nuts continue to gain significant market share in the overall recipe nut category. Private brand consumer sales volume increased by 3.1% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Additionally, sales volume for both private brand and branded nut products were favorably impacted by an increase in consumer demand for nuts and nut products due to lower selling prices during the second half of fiscal 2013.

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 0.7% in dollars and 3.7% in sales volume in fiscal 2013 compared fiscal 2012. The sales volume increase was primarily due to increased sales of peanut and pecan products from lower selling prices and increased almond sales as a result of distribution gains achieved by a major existing customer.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 22.1% in dollars and 14.4% in sales volume in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The increase in sales dollars and sales volume was primarily due to new snack mix product launches and increased promotional activity implemented by a major existing customer during fiscal 2013.

Net sales in the export distribution channel decreased 1.4% in dollars and 3.9% in sales volume in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The decrease in sales volume was due primarily to the unfavorable impact on customer demand of higher peanut prices that existed in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 which was not offset by increased demand in the last two quarters of fiscal 2013.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 12.1% to $120.0 million in fiscal 2013 from $107.1 million in fiscal 2012. Our gross profit margin increased to 16.3% of net sales for fiscal 2013 from 15.3% for fiscal 2012. The increases in gross profit and gross profit margin are primarily due to improved alignment of selling prices with commodity acquisition costs that occurred in the first half of fiscal 2013 combined with efficiency improvements within the manufacturing process that were achieved in the second half of fiscal 2013.

25

Operating Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for fiscal 2013 increased slightly to 10.7% of net sales from 10.6% of net sales for fiscal 2012.

Selling expenses for fiscal 2013 were $47.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 4.5%, over the amount recorded for fiscal 2012 due primarily to a $2.0 million increase in marketing and advertising expenses to support our branded products and a $0.4 million increase in compensation related expense. This increase in selling expenses for fiscal 2013 was partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in broker commissions due primarily to a change in customer mix.

Administrative expenses for fiscal 2013 were $31.2 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 7.7%, from the amount recorded for fiscal 2012 due primarily to (i) a $1.5 million increase in consulting and other professional services, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in compensation related expense, and (iii) a $0.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. This increase in administrative expenses was partially offset by a $0.6 million gain on the sale of land and a building where we operated a retail store.

Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, our income from our operations was $41.6 million, or 5.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2013, compared to $33.0 million, or 4.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $4.8 million for fiscal 2013 compared to $5.4 million for fiscal 2012. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower average short-term borrowings.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $1.6 million for fiscal 2013 compared to $1.4 million for fiscal 2012.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $13.5 million, or 38.3% of income before income taxes, for fiscal 2013 compared to $9.1 million, or 34.7% of income before income taxes for fiscal 2012. The increase in the effective tax rate of fiscal 2013 is mainly due to the impact of a full valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets that were created as a result of our equity investment in, and sale of intellectual property rights to an unconsolidated variable interest entity.

Net Income

Net income was $21.8 million, or $2.00 basic and $1.98 diluted per common share, for fiscal 2013, compared to $17.1 million, or $1.60 basic and $1.58 diluted per common share, for fiscal 2012, due to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, make capital improvements, pursue our Strategic Plan and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Agreement, dated February 7, 2008 that provides a revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Increases in our available credit under our Credit Facility due to our improved financial performance in the past have allowed us to consummate business acquisitions, devote more funds to promote our products, (especially our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands), develop new products, pay special cash dividends in December 2012 and December 2013, and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan, which includes expansion into existing markets and international markets such as China.

Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change 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 prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

26

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the last three fiscal years:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |  |  | 2014 to 2013 $ Change |  |  | 2014 to 2013 % Change |  |  | June 28, 2012 |
Operating activities |  | $ | 11,950 |  |  | $ | 35,753 |  |  | $ | (23,803 | ) |  |  | -66.6 | % |  | $ | 15,905 |
Investing activities |  |  | (2,056 | ) |  |  | (6,379 | ) |  |  | 4,323 |  |  |  | -67.8 | % |  |  | (7,186 | )
Financing activities |  |  | (8,844 | ) |  |  | (30,999 | ) |  |  | 22,155 |  |  |  | -71.5 | % |  |  | (7,581 | )
Total cash flow |  | $ | 1,050 |  |  | $ | (1,625 | ) |  | $ | 2,675 |  |  |  | 164.6 | % |  | $ | 1,138 |

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $11.9 million in fiscal 2014, a decrease of $23.8 million compared to fiscal 2013. This decline is due primarily to the negative cash flow impact of changes in certain working capital items, primarily accounts receivable and inventory. The accounts receivable decrease was a result of an unfavorable change of $6.6 million from fiscal 2013, due primarily to higher sales in the month of June 2014 compared to June 2013. Our nut commodity purchases were $56.7 million higher during fiscal 2014 than fiscal 2013 due mainly to higher nut acquisition costs among several nut commodities, primarily walnuts, almonds and pecans.

Total inventories were $182.8 million at June 26, 2014, an increase of $24.1 million, or 15.2%, from the inventory balance at June 27, 2013. This increase is due primarily to a $17.8 million increase in raw nut input stocks which was primarily attributable to increased quantities of peanuts, walnuts and almonds coupled with significantly higher acquisition costs for walnuts, almonds and pecans. Pounds of finished goods on hand increased by 8.6% or $4.1 million at June 26, 2014 compared to June 27, 2013 to support increasing sales volume.

The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at June 26, 2014 was relatively unchanged compared to June 27, 2013 as the increase in the cost of tree nut input stocks on hand was fully offset by a considerable shift in quantity on hand to lower cost peanuts. Pounds of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of June 26, 2014 increased by 9.9 million pounds or 21.2% when compared to the quantity of raw nut input stocks on hand at June 27, 2013. The weighted average cost per pound of finished goods on hand at June 26, 2014 increased by 4.5% over the weighted average cost per pound of finished goods on hand at June 27, 2013.

Cash provided by operating activities was $35.8 million in fiscal 2013, an increase of $19.9 million compared to fiscal 2012. This improvement is due primarily to improved operating results and the positive cash flow impact of changes in certain working capital items, primarily accounts receivable and inventory. The accounts receivable improvement was a result of favorable changes of $11.2 million from fiscal 2012. Our nut commodity purchases were $12.8 million lower during fiscal 2013 than fiscal 2012 due mainly to lower nut acquisition costs among several nut commodities, primarily pecans and cashews.

Total inventories were $158.7 million at June 27, 2013, an increase of $12.3 million, or 8.4%, from the inventory balance at June 28, 2012. This increase is due primarily to an $8.3 million increase in finished good inventory to support increasing sales volume, and an increase in other raw materials of $2.5 million. Pounds of finished goods on hand increased by 20.9% at June 27, 2013 to support increasing sales volume.

The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at June 27, 2013 decreased by 18.8% compared to the weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at June 28, 2012. Pounds of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of June 27, 2013 increased by 8.9 million pounds or 23.6% when compared to the quantity of raw nut input stocks on hand at June 28, 2012. The weighted average cost per pound of finished goods on hand at June 27, 2013 decreased by 12.7% over the weighted average cost per pound of finished goods on hand at June 28, 2012.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million in fiscal 2014. Capital expenditures accounted for a $9.9 million use of cash in fiscal 2014. Partially offsetting these capital expenditures were $7.9 million of proceeds from the disposition of assets, primarily the sale of the Old Elgin Site.

Cash used in investing activities was $6.4 million in fiscal 2013, which was mostly attributable to $7.2 million of capital expenditures. Partially offsetting this use of cash was $1.0 million of proceeds from the disposition of assets, primarily the sale of real property where we operated a retail store.

Cash used in investing activities was $7.2 million in fiscal 2012, which was mostly attributable to $7.5 million of capital expenditures. Partially offsetting this use of cash was $0.4 million of proceeds from disposition of assets.

We expect total capital expenditures for equipment purchases and upgrades, facility maintenance and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2015 to be approximately $12 million. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for capital expenditures.

27

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $8.8 million during fiscal 2014. We paid a $16.6 million special dividend in December 2013. We repaid $3.3 million of long-term debt during fiscal 2014, $3.0 million of which was related to the Mortgage Facility (as defined below). Partially offsetting these uses of cash was a net increase in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility of $8.7 million during fiscal 2014 which occurred primarily as a result of the above noted increase in inventory.

Cash used in financing activities was $31.0 million during fiscal 2013. We paid a $10.9 million special dividend in December, 2012. We repaid $6.6 million of long-term debt during fiscal 2013, $2.8 million of which was related to the Mortgage Facility and $3.3 million was related to the repayment of the former industrial development bonds associated with our Bainbridge facility. The net decrease in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility was $14.0 million during fiscal 2013 which occurred mainly due to improved operating results.

Cash used in financing activities was $7.6 million during fiscal 2012. We repaid $4.3 million of long-term debt during fiscal 2012, $3.0 million of which was related to the Mortgage Facility. The net decrease in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility was $2.1 million during fiscal 2012. This decrease in short-term borrowings under our Credit Facility occurred primarily due to improved operating results.

Real Estate Matters

In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into the Elgin Site. As part of the facility consolidation project, on April 15, 2005, we closed on the $48.0 million purchase of the Elgin Site. The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse, and afforded us increased production and processing capacity, such that we continue to offer our services to existing and new customers on an expanded basis. We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 74% of the office building is currently vacant. There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures may be necessary to lease the remaining space, including the space previously rented by the seller of the Elgin Site.

On March 28, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary JBSS Properties, LLC acquired title by quitclaim deed to the site that was originally purchased in Elgin, Illinois (the “Old Elgin Site”) for our facility consolidation project and also entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the City of Elgin (the “City”). In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, JBSS Properties, LLC transferred all of its properties and agreements to JBSS Real Estate, LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City assigned to us the City’s remaining rights and obligations under a development agreement entered into by and among the Company, certain related party partnerships, and the City (the “Development Agreement”). We incurred $6.8 million of gross costs under the Development Agreement, and had carrying values of $6.2 million which were recorded as “Assets held for sale” at June 27, 2013 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Old Elgin Site was sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and resulted in a $1.6 million pre-tax gain.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Credit Facility with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving 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”).

Credit Facility

The Credit Facility, as amended, is secured by substantially all of our assets other than real property and fixtures. 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”).

On July 15, 2011, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Facility which extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility from February 7, 2013 to July 15, 2016. In addition, the Second Amendment increased the amount by which we may increase the revolving borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility from $15.0 million to $22.5 million. On October 31, 2011, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment permits an additional 5% of outstanding accounts receivable from a major customer to be included as eligible in the borrowing base calculation, and the Third Amendment also made technical modifications to definitions. On January 22, 2013, we entered into a Consent and Fourth Amendment to the Credit Facility which permitted us to sell certain intellectual property assets and invest in AEI. On December 16, 2013, we entered into a Consent and Fifth Amendment to the Credit Facility which permitted the Company to form and invest in a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd., and made technical modifications to definitions.

28

The portion of the borrowing base calculation under the Credit Facility based upon machinery and equipment decreased by $1.5 million per year for the first five years to coincide with depreciation of the machinery and equipment collateral. As of June 26, 2014, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.13%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among other things, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisitions and certain sales of assets, cash dividends, transactions with affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of June 26, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. As of June 26, 2014, we had $72.5 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if this entire amount were borrowed.

Mortgage Facility

We are subject to interest rate resets for each of Tranche A and Tranche B. Specifically, on March 1, 2018 (the “Tranche A Reset Date”) and March 1, 2016 and every two years thereafter (each, a “Tranche B Reset Date”), the Mortgage Lender may reset the interest rates for each of Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the reset interest rate for either Tranche A or Tranche B is unacceptable to us and we (i) do not have sufficient funds to repay amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, or (ii) are unable to refinance amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, on terms more favorable than the reset interest rates, then, depending on the extent of the changes in the reset interest rates, our interest expense could increase materially.

The Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. Tranche A under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.63% per annum, payable monthly. As mentioned above, such interest rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on the Tranche A Reset Date. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.2 million commenced on June 1, 2008. Tranche B under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest, as reset on March 1, 2014, at a floating rate of the greater of (i) one month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum or (ii) 4.50%, payable monthly (the “Floating Rate”). The margin on such Floating Rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on each Tranche B Reset Date; provided, however, that the Mortgage Lender may also change the underlying index on each Tranche B Reset Date occurring on or after March 1, 2016. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.1 million commenced on June 1, 2008. We do not currently anticipate that any change in the Floating Rate or the underlying index will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations for fiscal 2015.

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 payments required under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Mortgage Facility. As of June 26, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and therefore $19,000 of Tranche A has been classified as long-term debt as of June 26, 2014 which represents scheduled principal payments that are due beyond twelve months. As of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, amounts outstanding under Tranche B are no longer classified entirely as short-term debt since the Mortgage Lender waived its option to use the proceeds from the sale of the Old Elgin Site, which in part served as collateral for the Mortgage Facility, to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B. Therefore, $4,750 of Tranche B has been classified as long-term debt as of June 26, 2014 which represents scheduled principal payments that are due beyond twelve months.

Selma Property

In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. Also, we currently have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the partnerships 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 debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of June 26, 2014, $12.3 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.

29

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 26, 2014, we were not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

Contractual Cash Obligations

At June 26, 2014, we had the following contractual cash obligations for long-term debt (including scheduled interest payments), capital leases, operating leases, the Credit Facility, purchase obligations, retirement plans and other long-term liabilities (amounts in this subsection in thousands):

|  | Total |  |  | Less Than 1 Year |  |  | 1-3 Years |  |  | 3-5 Years |  |  | More Than 5 Years |
Long-term debt obligations(1) |  | $ | 61,108 |  |  | $ | 6,412 |  |  | $ | 12,128 |  |  | $ | 11,205 |  |  | $ | 31,363 |

Revolving credit facility borrowings |  |  | 40,542 |  |  |  | 40,542 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Purchase obligations(2) |  |  | 142,121 |  |  |  | 142,121 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Retirement plans(3) |  |  | 15,782 |  |  |  | 751 |  |  |  | 1,487 |  |  |  | 1,436 |  |  |  | 12,108 |
Total contractual cash obligations |  | $ | 263,799 |  |  | $ | 191,146 |  |  | $ | 15,840 |  |  | $ | 13,325 |  |  | $ | 43,488 |

(1) | Interest obligations on floating rate debt instruments are calculated using interest rates in effect at June 26, 2014. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail on the Company’s long-term debt obligations.

(2) | The purchase obligations represent $142,121 of inventory purchases.

(3) | Represents projected retirement obligations. See Note 12 and Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Our other long term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at June 26, 2014 consist primarily of unrecognized tax benefits, and the related interest and penalties totaling $263. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of cash payments, or if any cash payments will be required at all. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the above contractual obligations table.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accounting policies as disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are applied in the preparation of our financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances. The policies discussed below are considered by our management to be critical for an understanding of our financial statements because the application of these policies places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation regarding the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks, if applicable, for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 of the 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 reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred (based upon terms of shipment), price is fixed, delivery occurs and collection is reasonably assured. We sell our products under some arrangements, which include customer contracts that fix the sales price for periods, which typically can be up to one year for some commercial ingredient customers, and through specific programs consisting of promotion allowances, volume and customer rebates and marketing allowances, among others, to consumer and some commercial ingredient users. Reserves for these programs are established based upon the terms of specific arrangements. Revenues are recorded net of rebates and promotion and marketing allowances. Revenues are also recorded net of expected customer deductions which are provided for based upon past experiences. While customers do have the right to return products, past experience has demonstrated that product returns have generally been insignificant. Provisions for returns are reflected as a reduction in net sales and are estimated based upon customer specific circumstances.

30

Inventories

Inventories, which consist principally of inshell bulk-stored nuts, shelled nuts, dried fruit and processed and packaged nut products, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market which approximates actual cost. Inventory costs are reviewed at least quarterly. Fluctuations in the market price of pecans, peanuts, walnuts, almonds and other nuts may affect the value of inventory and gross profit and gross profit margin. When expected market sales prices move below costs, we record adjustments to write down the carrying values of inventories to the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market which approximates actual cost. No such adjustments have been required in any of the periods presented. The results of our shelling process can also result in changes to our inventory costs based upon actual versus expected crop yields. We maintain significant inventories of bulk-stored inshell pecans, peanuts and walnuts. Quantities of inshell bulk-stored nuts are determined based upon our inventory systems and are subject to verification techniques including observation, weighing and other methods. The quantities of each crop year bulk-stored nut inventories 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review held and used long-lived assets, including our rental investment property and amortizable identifiable intangible assets, to assess recoverability from projected undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to 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 are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates there is an impairment, the carrying 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.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reported in our financial statements or tax returns. Such items give rise to differences in the financial reporting and 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 that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized. Any investment tax credits are accounted for by using the flow-through method, whereby the credits are reflected as reductions of tax expense in the year they are recognized in the financial statements. In estimating future tax consequences, we consider all expected future events other than changes in tax law or 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 individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit is 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 require us to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in results of operations and financial position in the period in which such changes occur. As of June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013, we had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $263 and $131, respectively. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax expense/(benefit) caption in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

We evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets by considering our historical taxable income and future taxable income based upon the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. As of June 26, 2014, we believe that our deferred tax assets are fully realizable, except for $175 of basis differences for which we have provided a valuation allowance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1-“Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Chief Executive Officer’s letter to stockholders accompanying the Annual Report on 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 no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors that affect 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 cause results to differ materially from our current expectations and/or those in the forward-looking statements, as well as the timing and occurrence (or nonoccurrence) 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 Risk

We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices of raw material purchases and foreign exchange. We have not entered into any arrangements 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 only attempt to pass on the commodity cost increases in the form of price increases to our customers. See Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” for a further discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to commodity prices of raw materials and the impact thereof on our business.

Approximately 26% of the dollar value of our total nut purchases for fiscal 2014 were made from foreign countries, and while these purchases were payable in 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 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 instruments which fix the floating rate or offset an increase in the floating rate. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in weighted-average interest rates would have had less than a $0.1 million impact on our net income and cash flows from operating activities for fiscal 2014. In addition, the fixed interest rate on our Mortgage Facility resets in the future.

Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 26, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 26, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these 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 Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting under item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Description of Business

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC, JBSS Ventures, LLC and Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. Our fiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen week quarters). The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts and tree nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest 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, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, nut clusters, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. Our products are sold through the major distribution channels to significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers, commercial ingredient users, contract packaging customers and international customers.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include reserves for customer deductions, the quantity and valuation of bulk inventories, the evaluation of recoverability of long-lived assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts charged to customers, less allowances for doubtful accounts, and reserves for estimated cash discounts and customer deductions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by specifically identifying customers that are credit risks and estimating the extent that other non-specifically identified customers will become credit risks. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we conclude that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The reserve for estimated cash discounts is based on historical experience. The reserve for customer deductions represents known customer short payments and an estimate of future credit memos that will be issued to customers related to rebates and allowances for marketing and promotions based on agreed upon programs and historical experience.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist principally of inshell bulk-stored nuts, shelled nuts, dried fruit and processed and packaged nut products, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market which approximates actual cost. Inventory costs are reviewed at least quarterly. Fluctuations in the market price of pecans, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews and other nuts may affect the value of inventory, gross profit and gross profit margin. When expected market sales prices move below costs, we record adjustments to write down the carrying values of inventories to the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The results of our shelling process can also result in changes to inventory costs, such as adjustments made pursuant to actual versus expected crop yields. We maintain significant inventories of bulk-stored inshell pecans, peanuts and walnuts. Quantities of inshell bulk-stored nuts are determined based on our inventory systems and are subject to quarterly physical verification techniques including observation, weighing and other methods. The quantities of each crop year bulk-stored nut inventories are generally shelled out over a ten to fifteen month period, at which time revisions to any estimates are also recorded.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements that extend the useful life, add capacity, or add functionality are capitalized and charged to expense through depreciation. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently in operating income.

39

Depreciation expense for the last three fiscal years is as follows:

|  | Year Ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year Ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year Ended June 28, 2012 |
Depreciation expense |  | $ | 13,649 |  |  | $ | 13,648 |  |  | $ | 14,062 |

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 5 years |

No interest costs were capitalized for the last three fiscal years due to the lack of any significant project.

Assets Held For Sale

An asset is classified as held for sale when (i) management commits to a plan to sell and it is actively marketed, (ii) it is available for immediate sale and the sale is expected to be completed within one year and (iii) it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Assets held for sale may exceed one year due to events or circumstances beyond our control. Recoverability is also assessed and assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair-value less costs to sell. Assets classified as held for sale are no longer depreciated and are reported on a separate line on the balance sheet.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review held and used long-lived assets, including our rental investment property and amortizable identifiable intangible assets, to assess recoverability from projected undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to 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 are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates there is an impairment, the carrying 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.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The amortization of deferred financing costs, which is classified in interest expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, was as follows for the last three fiscal years:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Amortization of deferred financing costs |  | $ | 329 |  |  | $ | 442 |  |  | $ | 370 |

Facility Consolidation Project/Real Estate Transactions

In 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 74% of the office building is currently vacant. The other building, a warehouse, was expanded and modified for use as our principal processing facility and headquarters. The allocation of the purchase price to the two buildings was determined through a third party appraisal. The value assigned to the office building is included in rental investment property on the balance sheet. The value assigned to the warehouse building is included in “Property, plant and equipment”.

40

The net rental expense from the office building is included in the caption “Rental and miscellaneous expense, net”. Gross rental income and rental (expense), net for the last three fiscal years are as follows:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Gross rental income |  | $ | 1,697 |  |  | $ | 1,671 |  |  | $ | 1,426 |
Rental (expense), net |  |  | (2,798 | ) |  |  | (1,495 | ) |  |  | (1,450 | )

Expected future gross rental income under operating leases within the office building is as follows for the fiscal years ending:

June 25, 2015 |  | $ | 1,745 |
June 30, 2016 |  |  | 1,756 |
June 29, 2017 |  |  | 1,599 |
June 28, 2018 |  |  | 599 |
June 27, 2019 |  |  | 558 |
Thereafter |  |  | 2,428 |
|  | $ | 8,685 |

On March 28, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary JBSS Properties, LLC acquired title by quitclaim deed to the site that was originally purchased in Elgin, Illinois (the “Old Elgin Site”) for our facility consolidation project and also entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the City of Elgin (the “City”). In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, JBSS Properties, LLC transferred all of its properties and agreements to JBSS Real Estate, LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City assigned to us their remaining rights and obligations under a development agreement entered into by and among the Company, certain related party partnerships and the City (the “Development Agreement”). We incurred $6,806 of gross costs under the Development Agreement, and had a carrying value of $6,175 at June 27, 2013. These costs were recorded as “Assets held for sale” at June 27, 2013.

On December 26, 2013 (the second quarter of fiscal 2014), we completed the sale of the Old Elgin Site. The sales price was $8,000 and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1,641.

In September 2012, we completed the sale of land and a building where we owned and operated a retail store in Barrington, Illinois. Proceeds from the sale were $870, net of expenses of $45, and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $660 which is recorded in “Administrative expenses” for the year ended June 27, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1- |  | Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2- |  | 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.
Level 3- |  | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.

The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013 because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances.

The carrying value of our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements “Revolving Credit Facility” below) borrowings approximates fair value at June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013 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.

41

The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our long term debt, including current maturities:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Carrying value of long-term debt: |  | $ | 39,015 |  |  | $ | 42,355 |
Fair value of long-term debt: |  |  | 43,091 |  |  |  | 46,059 |

The estimated fair value of long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value based on interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt, other than the sale of the Old Elgin Site discussed above.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred (based upon terms of shipment), price is fixed, delivery occurs and collection is reasonably assured. We sell our products under some arrangements which include customer contracts which fix the sales price for periods, typically of up to one year, for some industrial customers and through specific programs consisting of promotion allowances, volume and customer rebates and marketing allowances, among others, to consumer customers and commercial ingredient users. Reserves for these programs are established based upon the terms of specific arrangements. Revenues are recorded net of rebates and promotion and marketing allowances. Revenues are also recorded net of expected customer deductions which are provided for based upon past experiences. While customers do have the right to return products, past experience has demonstrated that product returns have been insignificant. Provisions for returns are reflected as a reduction in net sales and are estimated based upon customer specific circumstances. Billings for shipping and handling costs are included in revenues.

Segment Reporting

We operate in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut related products through multiple distribution channels.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

The highly competitive nature of our business provides an environment for the loss of customers and the opportunity to gain new customers. We are subject to concentrations of credit risk, primarily in trade accounts receivable, and we attempt to mitigate this risk through our credit evaluation process, collection terms and through geographical dispersion of sales. Sales to three customers each exceeded 10% of net sales during fiscal 2014 and 2013. There were two customers in fiscal 2012 that each had sales exceeding 10% of net sales. Sales to these customers represented approximately 46%, 48% and 36% of our net sales in fiscal 2014, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Net accounts receivable from these customers were 55% and 49% of net accounts receivable at June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013, respectively.

Promotion, Marketing and Advertising Costs

Promotion allowances, customer rebates and marketing allowances are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are reflected as reductions in sales. Annual volume rebates are estimated based upon projected volumes for the year, while promotion and marketing allowances are recorded based upon terms of the actual arrangements. Coupon incentive costs are accrued based on estimates of product sold to retailers at our measurement date and an estimate of redemptions to occur.

The majority of marketing costs and substantially all advertising costs are incurred to promote and support branded products in the consumer distribution channel. These costs are generally expensed as incurred, recorded in selling expenses, and were as follows for the last three fiscal years:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Marketing and advertising expense |  | $ | 10,330 |  |  | $ | 10,928 |  |  | $ | 8,946 |

42

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs, which include freight and other expenses to prepare finished goods for shipment, are included in selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs for the last three fiscal years were as follows:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Shipping and handling costs |  | $ | 17,895 |  |  | $ | 15,801 |  |  | $ | 15,757 |

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expense represents the cost of our research and development personnel and their related expenses and is charged to selling expenses as incurred. Research and development expenses for the last three fiscal years were as follows:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Research and development expense |  | $ | 882 |  |  | $ | 1,233 |  |  | $ | 1,062 |

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 by calculating compensation cost based on the grant date fair value. We then amortize compensation expense over the vesting period on a straight line basis. We estimate the fair value of each stock option on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model discounted by an estimated forfeiture rate (using the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and dividend yield variables). The grant date fair value of RSUs is determined based on the market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reported in our financial statements or tax returns. Such items give rise to differences in the financial reporting and 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 that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized. Any investment tax credits are accounted for by using the flow-through method, whereby the credits are reflected as reductions of tax expense in the year they are recognized in the financial statements. In estimating future tax consequences, we consider all expected future events other than changes in tax law or 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 individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit is 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 require us to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded 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 /(benefit) caption in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

We evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets by considering our historical taxable income and future taxable income based upon the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. As of June 26, 2014, we believe that our deferred tax assets are fully realizable, except for $175 of basis differences for which we have provided a valuation allowance.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock.

43

The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Weighted average number of shares outstanding — basic |  |  | 11,033,310 |  |  |  | 10,863,064 |  |  |  | 10,726,004 |
Effect of dilutive securities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Stock options and restricted stock units |  |  | 99,037 |  |  |  | 129,933 |  |  |  | 102,508 |
Weighted average number of shares outstanding — diluted |  |  | 11,132,347 |  |  |  | 10,992,997 |  |  |  | 10,828,512 |

The following table presents a summary of anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Weighted average number of anti-dilutive shares: |  |  | 15,153 |  |  |  | 41,375 |  |  |  | 107,125 |
Weighted average exercise price: |  | $ | 25.36 |  |  | $ | 18.46 |  |  | $ | 17.63 |

Comprehensive Income

We account for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This topic establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The topic requires that all components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. This topic also requires all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance also requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes and information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, we provide a cross-reference to other disclosures that offer additional details about those amounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes and information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The update only affects the presentation of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, and therefore the adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This update changes the threshold for reporting discontinued operations and adds new disclosures. The update defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.” For disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations, an entity must disclose pre-tax earnings of the disposed component. For public business entities, this guidance is effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and created a new ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and added ASC Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2017. This guidance can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This guidance requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. The current accounting standard for stock-based compensation as it applies to awards with performance conditions should be applied. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, including interim reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. This update will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Customer relationships and the non-compete agreement relate wholly to the Orchard Valley Harvest (“OVH”) acquisition completed in fiscal 2010. Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight line basis over seven years. The non-compete agreement is being amortized based upon the expected pattern of cash flow annual benefit over a five year period. The brand name consists primarily of the Fisher brand name, which we acquired in a 1995 acquisition. The Fisher brand name became fully amortized in fiscal 2011. The remainder of the brand name relates to the OVH acquisition and is being amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

NOTE 4 — REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

On February 7, 2008, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117,500 revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility (the “Credit Facility”). 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 $36,000 (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9,000 (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45,000 (the “Mortgage Facility”).

The Credit Facility, as amended, matures on July 15, 2016 and is secured by substantially all our assets other than real property and fixtures. 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”).

On December 16, 2013, we entered into a Consent and Fifth Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”) which permitted the Company to form and invest in a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary and made technical modifications to definitions.

The portion of the borrowing base calculation based upon machinery and equipment decreased by $1,500 per year for the first five years to coincide with depreciation of the machinery and equipment collateral. As of June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.13% and 2.23%, respectively. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, capital expenditures, 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 under the Borrowing Base Calculation falls below $25,000, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders are entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of June 26, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. As of June 26, 2014, we had $72,458 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $40,542 and reduced availability as a result of $4,500 in outstanding letters of credit. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if this entire amount were borrowed.

NOTE 5 — LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Mortgage Facility (“Tranche A”), collateralized by real property, due in monthly principal installments of $200 plus interest at 7.63% per annum through February 2023 with a final principal payment of $600 on March 1, 2023 |  | $ | 21,400 |  |  | $ | 23,800 |
Mortgage Facility (“Tranche B”), collateralized by real property, due in monthly principal installments of $50 plus interest at the greater of one month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum or 4.50% through February 2023 with a final principal payment of $150 on March 1, 2023 |  |  | 5,350 |  |  |  | 5,950 |
Selma, Texas facility financing obligation to related parties, due in monthly installments of $121 through September 1, 2031 |  |  | 12,264 |  |  |  | 12,585 |
Other |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 20 |
|  |  | 39,015 |  |  |  | 42,355 |
Less: Current maturities |  |  | (3,349 | ) |  |  | (8,690 | )
Total long-term debt |  | $ | 35,666 |  |  | $ | 33,665 |

We are subject to periodic interest rate resets for each of Tranche A and Tranche B. Specifically, on March 1, 2018 (the “Tranche A Reset Date”) and March 1, 2016 and every two years thereafter (each, a “Tranche B Reset Date”), the Mortgage Lender may reset the interest rates for each of Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the reset interest rate for either Tranche A or Tranche B is unacceptable to us and we (i) do not have sufficient funds to repay amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, or (ii) are unable to refinance amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, on terms more favorable than the reset interest rates, then, depending on the extent of the changes in the reset interest rates, our interest expense could increase materially.

Tranche A under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.63% per annum, payable monthly. As mentioned above, such interest rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on the Tranche A Reset Date. Tranche B under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest, as reset on March 1, 2014, at a floating rate of the greater of one month LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum or 4.50%, payable monthly. The margin on such floating rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on each Tranche B Reset Date; provided, however, that the Mortgage Lender may also change the underlying index on each Tranche B Reset Date occurring on or after March 1, 2016. We do not currently anticipate that any change in the floating rate or the underlying index will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

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 payments required under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Mortgage Facility. As of June 26, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and therefore $19,000 of Tranche A has been classified as long-term debt as of June 26, 2014 which represents scheduled principal payments that are due beyond twelve months. As of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, amounts outstanding under Tranche B are no longer classified entirely as short-term debt since the Mortgage Lender waived its option to use the proceeds from the sale of the Old Elgin Site, which in part served as collateral for the Mortgage Facility, to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B. Therefore, $4,750 of Tranche B has been classified as long-term debt as of June 26, 2014 which represents scheduled principal payments that are due beyond twelve months.

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 was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma, Texas properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. Also, we have an option to purchase the properties from the partnerships after five years 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 obligation is being accounted for similar to the accounting for a capital lease, whereby the $14,300 was recorded as a debt obligation, as the provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting. The balance of the debt obligation outstanding at June 26, 2014 was $12,264.

47

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows for the fiscal years ending:

June 25, 2015 |  | $ | 3,349 |
June 30, 2016 |  |  | 3,376 |
June 29, 2017 |  |  | 3,407 |

Total income tax expense |  | $ | 13,545 |  |  | $ | 13,536 |  |  | $ | 9,099 |

The reconciliations of income taxes at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the last three fiscal years are as follows:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |  |  | June 28, 2012 |
Federal statutory income tax rate |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | %
State income taxes, net of federal benefit |  |  | 3.3 |  |  |  | 4.5 |  |  |  | 3.5 |
Research and development tax credit |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | (0.2 | ) |  |  | (0.2 | )
Domestic manufacturing deduction |  |  | (2.7 | ) |  |  | (3.4 | ) |  |  | (3.2 | )
Change in valuation allowance |  |  | (1.4 | ) |  |  | 2.0 |  |  |  | — |
Other |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | 0.4 |  |  |  | (0.4 | )
Effective tax rate |  |  | 34.0 | % |  |  | 38.3 | % |  |  | 34.7 | %

The increase in the effective tax rate of fiscal 2013 is primarily due to the impact of an $815 valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets that were created as a result of our equity investment in, and sale of intellectual property rights to an unconsolidated variable interest entity. During fiscal 2014 we divested our investment in, and cancelled a secured promissory note due from this entity. The tax benefit of these losses was $640 and consequently reduced the fiscal 2014 effective tax rate.

48

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised of the following:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Current tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 343 |  |  | $ | 298 |
Employee compensation |  |  | 1,785 |  |  |  | 2,021 |
Inventory |  |  | 424 |  |  |  | 376 |
Workers’ compensation |  |  | 673 |  |  |  | 597 |
Other |  |  | 296 |  |  |  | 620 |
Less valuation allowance |  |  | (37 | ) |  |  | (189 | )
Net deferred tax asset - current |  | $ | 3,484 |  |  | $ | 3,723 |
Non-current tax assets (liabilities): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Equity method investment |  |  | — |  |  |  | 615 |
Other |  |  | 522 |  |  |  | 348 |
Less valuation allowance |  |  | (138 | ) |  |  | (626 | )
Net deferred tax asset – long term |  |  | 726 |  |  |  | 827 |
Net deferred tax assets - total |  | $ | 4,210 |  |  | $ | 4,550 |

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 tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the character necessary during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The net change in the total valuation allowance was a decrease of $640 in fiscal 2014 and an increase of $815 in fiscal 2013. If or when recognized, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance will be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense.

We have gross state tax net operating losses of approximately $3,649 that will expire in 2024 if not utilized.

We have an immaterial amount of gross state tax credits.

For the years ending June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were $263 and $131. Accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are not material for any periods presented. Interest and penalties were not material for any period presented. The total gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were $247 and $139 at June 26, 2014 and June 27, 2013, respectively.

49

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 139 |  |  | $ | 133 |
Gross increases — tax positions in prior year |  |  | 248 |  |  |  | 5 |
Gross decreases — tax positions in prior year |  |  | (107 | ) |  |  | (12 | )
Settlements |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Gross increases — tax positions in current year |  |  | 7 |  |  |  | 23 |
Lapse of statute of limitations |  |  | (40 | ) |  |  | (10 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 247 |  |  | $ | 139 |

Unrecognized tax benefits, that if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate on income from continuing operations, are as follows:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |  |  | June 28, 2012 |
Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect annual effective tax rate |  | $ | 233 |  |  | $ | 127 |  |  | $ | 113 |

We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

There were certain changes in state tax laws during the period the impact of which was insignificant. We file income tax returns with federal and state tax authorities within the United States of America. Our federal tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2011 and later. Our Illinois tax returns are currently under audit for fiscal 2011 and 2012. Our Illinois tax return is open for audit for fiscal 2013. Our California tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2009 and later. No other tax jurisdictions are material to us.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We lease certain equipment pursuant to agreements accounted for as operating leases. Rent expense aggregated under these operating leases was as follows for the last three fiscal years:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Rent expense related to operating leases |  | $ | 1,572 |  |  | $ | 1,414 |  |  | $ | 1,459 |

Aggregate non-cancelable lease commitments under these operating leases with initial or remaining terms greater than one year are as follows:

Litigation

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcomes of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial money damages in excess of any appropriate accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Cardenas et. al. v John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc.

In fiscal 2010, a class action wage and hour lawsuit was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “District Court”) under the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (“IMWL”) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The plaintiffs claimed damages under the IMWL in an amount equal to all unpaid back pay alleged to be owed to the plaintiffs, prejudgment interest on the back pay, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and an injunction precluding the Company from violating the IMWL. The plaintiffs additionally claimed damages under the FLSA in an amount equal to all back pay alleged to be owed to the plaintiffs, prejudgment interest on the back pay, liquidated damages equal to the amount of unpaid back wages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In fiscal 2011, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in which they alleged that the Company maintained and maintains a practice regarding the rounding of employees’ time entries which violates the IMWL and the FLSA.

Following mediation during fiscal 2011 in order to cover an expanded scope of wage and hour claims, plaintiffs and facilities, we agreed in principle to a $2,600 settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Settlement Agreement was finalized and preliminarily approved by the District Court which included a provision allowing for a reverter payment if all or some class members do not submit claim forms. We recorded an accrual of $1,950 in fiscal 2011 for the class action wage and hour lawsuit which was our best estimate of the payout to class members who submitted claim forms, net of any estimated reverter payout to the Company and other agreed upon payouts pursuant to the settlement agreement.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Court issued a final approval of the Settlement Agreement which did not have a material impact on earnings during fiscal 2012. The case was closed and formally dismissed by the Court during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we paid $2,600 to the claims administrator during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and received a reverter payment for unclaimed settlement funds of approximately $665 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Our Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Class A Stock”), has cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of those directors which the holders 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 are entitled 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 of Class 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 Common Stock upon any sale or transfer other than to related individuals. Each share of our Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) has noncumulative voting rights of one vote per share. The Class A Stock and the Common Stock 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 Common Stock are entitled to elect 25%, rounded up to the nearest whole number, of the members comprising the Board of Directors.

NOTE 9 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

At our annual meeting of stockholders on October 30, 2008, our stockholders approved a new equity incentive plan (the “2008 Equity Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which awards of options and stock-based awards may be made to members of the Board of Directors, employees and other individuals providing services to the Company. A total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants of awards under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, which may be in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), Common Stock or dividends and dividend equivalents. As of June 26, 2014, there were 599,705 shares of Common Stock that remained authorized for future grants of awards, subject to the limitations set below. A maximum of 500,000 of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan may be used for grants of Common Stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Additionally, awards of options or SARs are limited to 100,000 shares annually to any single individual, and awards of Common Stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units are limited to 50,000 shares annually to any single individual. All restricted stock units granted under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan have vesting periods of three years for awards to employees and one year for awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Recipients of restricted stock unit awards have the option to defer receipt of vested shares until a specified later date, typically soon after separation from the Company. The exercise price of stock options was determined as set forth in the 2008 Equity Incentive 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 date of grant. Except as set forth in the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, options expire upon termination of employment or directorship, as applicable. The options granted under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan are exercisable 25% annually commencing on the first anniversary date of grant and become fully exercisable on the fourth anniversary date of grant. Options generally will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they are granted. We issue new shares of Common Stock upon exercise of stock options.

51

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan replaced a stock option plan approved at our annual meeting of stockholders on October 28, 1998 (the “1998 Equity Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which awards of options and stock-based awards could be made. There were 700,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance to certain key employees and “outside directors” (i.e., directors who are not employees of the Company). The exercise price of the options was determined as set forth in the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan by the Board of Directors and was at least the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Except as set forth in the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan, options expire upon termination of employment or directorship, as applicable. The options granted under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan are exercisable 25% annually commencing on the first anniversary date of grant and become fully exercisable on the fourth anniversary date of grant. Options generally will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they are granted. We issue new shares of Common Stock upon exercise of stock options issued pursuant to the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan. Through fiscal 2007, all of the options granted, except those granted to outside directors, were intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective fiscal 2008, all option grants are non-qualified awards. The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan terminated on September 1, 2008. However, all outstanding options issued pursuant to the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan and their respective award agreements.

We determine the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted in fiscal 2014. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of options granted during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012:

|  | June 27, 2013 |  |  | June 28, 2012 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 0.9 | % |  |  | 1.1 | %
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0.0 | % |  |  | 0.0 | %
Expected volatility |  |  | 42.3 | % |  |  | 38.1 | %
Expected life (years) |  |  | 6.3 |  |  |  | 6.3 |

The expected term of the awards was determined using the “simplified method” as stated in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 that utilizes the following formula: ((vesting term + original contract term)/2). Expected stock volatility was determined based on historical volatility for the 6.25 year-period preceding the measurement date. The risk-free rate was based on the yield curve in effect at the time the options were granted, using U.S. treasury constant maturities over the expected life of the option. Expected forfeitures were determined based upon our expectations and past experiences. Expected dividend yield was based on our dividend practices at the time the options were granted.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the year ended June 26, 2014:

|  | Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at June 27, 2013 |  |  | 115,250 |  |  | $ | 13.68 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Granted |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Forfeited |  |  | (2,250 | ) |  |  | 32.30 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at June 26, 2014 |  |  | 63,500 |  |  | $ | 13.98 |  |  |  | 2.01 |  |  | $ | 786 |
Exercisable at June 26, 2014 |  |  | 61,875 |  |  | $ | 13.95 |  |  |  | 1.86 |  |  | $ | 768 |

The number of stock options vested, and expected to vest in the future, as of June 26, 2014, is not significantly different from the number of stock options outstanding at June 26, 2014, as stated above. All options granted during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were at exercise prices equal to the market price of Common Stock at the grant date.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average grant-date fair value of option awards granted, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised and the total cash received from the exercise of options for the last three fiscal years:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 5.77 |  |  | $ | 3.39 |

Non-vested at June 26, 2014 |  |  | 1,625 |  |  | $ | 6.40 |

Exercise prices for options outstanding as of June 26, 2014 ranged from $7.95 to $18.46 and may be segregated into two ranges, as shown below:

|  | Option Price Per Share Range |
|  | $7.95 - $11.30 |  |  | $14.73 - $18.46 |
Number of options |  |  | 28,000 |  |  |  | 35,500 |
Weighted-average exercise price |  | $ | 8.91 |  |  | $ | 17.98 |
Weighted-average remaining life in years |  |  | 3.0 |  |  |  | 1.2 |

Weighted-average exercise price for exercisable options |  | $ | 8.92 |  |  | $ | 18.05 |

Restricted stock units granted to employees and outside directors vest over a three-year and one-year period, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the year ended June 26, 2014:

Restricted Stock Units |  | Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at June 27, 2013 |  |  | 215,294 |  |  | $ | 11.99 |
Granted |  |  | 68,710 |  |  |  | 25.32 |
Vested |  |  | (79,196 | ) |  |  | 12.74 |
Forfeited |  |  | (3,500 | ) |  |  | 12.77 |
Outstanding at June 26, 2014 |  |  | 201,308 |  |  | $ | 16.23 |

At June 26, 2014 there were 40,098 restricted stock units outstanding that were vested but deferred. At June 27, 2013 there were 37,500 restricted stock units outstanding that were vested but deferred. The non-vested restricted stock units at June 26, 2014 will vest over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011 we granted 10,000 SARs to a marketing consultant which vested over a three year period and had a ten year term. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013 the consultant exercised 7,500 of the SARs and the Compensation Committee accelerated the vesting of the remaining awards. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the remaining 2,500 shares vested and the resulting liability was settled.

The following table summarizes compensation cost charged to earnings for all equity compensation plans and the total income tax benefit recognized for the last three fiscal years:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
Compensation cost charged to earnings |  | $ | 1,105 |  |  | $ | 905 |  |  | $ | 820 |
Income tax benefit recognized |  |  | 512 |  |  |  | 202 |  |  |  | 95 |

At June 26, 2014, there was $1,551 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

NOTE 10 — SPECIAL CASH DIVIDENDS

On October 29, 2013, our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company and other factors, declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company (the “2014 Special Dividend”). The 2014 Special Dividend of $16,599 was paid on December 5, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2013. The ex-dividend date was the close of business on November 19, 2013. The Company obtained the appropriate consent from the Bank Lenders in order to declare and pay the 2014 Special Dividend.

On December 10, 2012, our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company and other factors, declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company (the “2013 Special Dividend”). The 2013 Special Dividend of $10,889 was paid December 28, 2012, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2012. The ex-dividend date was the close of business on December 18, 2012. We obtained the appropriate consent from the Bank Lenders in order to declare and pay the 2013 Special Dividend.

NOTE 11 — INVESTMENT IN ARMA ENERGY, INC.

Over the past few years we developed, marketed, and secured proprietary and intellectual property rights to the “ARMA brand” in select markets. The ARMA brand products consisted of “energy-infused” snack products, including kettle cooked potato chips, trail mixes, fruit and nut blends, granola mixes and other products. Sales of ARMA brand products were historically immaterial to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On February 1, 2013 we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with ARMA Energy, Inc. (“AEI”) whereby we received approximately 71% of the preferred stock of AEI in exchange for sales, marketing, services, and other expenses already incurred. In addition, on February 1, 2013, we sold all of our intellectual property rights in the ARMA brand to AEI in exchange for a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $500 payable over five years. The fair value of the note received and non-controlling interest retained at the time of sale were not deemed material. At June 27, 2013 our ownership percentage had decreased to approximately 58% due to additional investment from unrelated parties. After recording our proportional share of losses, our investment in this entity was $0 at June 27, 2013.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014 we divested of our equity investment in AEI and cancelled the secured promissory note receivable. This produced a tax benefit which favorably impacted our fiscal 2014 effective tax rate.

NOTE 12 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We maintain a contributory plan established pursuant to the provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides retirement benefits for all nonunion employees meeting minimum age and service requirements. We currently match 100% of the first three percent contributed by each employee and 50% of the next two percent contributed, up to certain maximums specified in the plan. Our expense for the 401(k) plan was as follows for the last three fiscal years:

|  | Year ended June 26, 2014 |  |  | Year ended June 27, 2013 |  |  | Year ended June 28, 2012 |
401(k) plan expense |  | $ | 1,356 |  |  | $ | 1,171 |  |  | $ | 922 |

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 the step-van drivers that were employed for our store-door delivery system that was discontinued during fiscal 2008. Pursuant to terms of settlement with a labor 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 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Route pension liability |  | $ | 590 |  |  | $ | 646 |

Virtually all of our salaried employees participate in our Sanfilippo Value Added Plan (as amended, the “SVA Plan”) which is a cash incentive plan (an economic value added-based program) administered by our Compensation Committee. We accrue expense related to the SVA Plan in the annual period that the economic performance underlying such performance occurs. This method of expense recognition properly matches the expense associated with improved economic performance with the period the improved performance occurs on a systematic and rational basis.

NOTE 13 — RETIREMENT PLAN

On August 2, 2007, the committee then known as the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) approved a restated Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for certain executive officers and key employees, retroactively effective as of August 25, 2005. The restated SERP retroactively changed the plan adopted on August 25, 2005 to, among other things, clarify certain actuarial provisions and incorporate new Internal Revenue Service requirements. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified benefit plan that will provide eligible participants with monthly benefits 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 now codified in ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits requires the recognition of the funded status of the SERP on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition obligations that have not yet been recognized are recorded as a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” (“AOCL”).

The following table presents the changes in the projected benefit obligation for the fiscal years ended:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Change in projected benefit obligation |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Benefit obligation at beginning of year |  | $ | 13,268 |  |  | $ | 13,989 |
Service cost |  |  | 323 |  |  |  | 343 |
Interest cost |  |  | 634 |  |  |  | 570 |
Actuarial loss (gain) |  |  | 1,454 |  |  |  | (979 | )
Benefits paid |  |  | (654 | ) |  |  | (655 | )
Projected benefit obligation at end of year |  | $ | 15,025 |  |  | $ | 13,268 |

Components of the actuarial loss (gain) portion of the change in projected benefit obligation are presented below for the fiscal years ended:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |  |  | June 28, 2012 |
Actuarial Loss (Gain) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Change in assumed pay increases |  | $ | (85 | ) |  | $ | 423 |  |  | $ | (35 | )
Change in discount rate |  |  | 1,084 |  |  |  | (1,555 | ) |  |  | 2,494 |

Actuarial loss (gain) |  | $ | 1,454 |  |  | $ | (979 | ) |  | $ | 2,579 |

The components of the net periodic pension cost are as follows for the fiscal years ended:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |  |  | June 28, 2012 |
Service cost |  | $ | 323 |  |  | $ | 343 |  |  | $ | 243 |
Interest cost |  |  | 634 |  |  |  | 570 |  |  |  | 600 |
Recognized gain amortization |  |  | (68 | ) |  |  | — |  |  |  | (185 | )
Prior service cost amortization |  |  | 957 |  |  |  | 957 |  |  |  | 957 |
Net periodic pension cost |  | $ | 1,846 |  |  | $ | 1,870 |  |  | $ | 1,615 |

Significant assumptions related to our SERP include the discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value of benefit obligations to be paid in the future and the average rate of compensation expense increase by SERP participants.

55

We used the following assumptions to calculate the benefit obligations of our SERP as of the following dates:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  | June 27, 2013
Discount rate |  | 4.37% |  | 4.90%
Rate of compensation increases |  | 4.50% |  | 4.50%
Bonus payment |  | 60% - 85% of base, paid 3 of 5 years |  | 60% - 70% of base, paid 3 of 5 years

We used the following assumptions to calculate the net periodic costs of our SERP as follows for the fiscal years ended:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  | June 27, 2013 |  | June 28, 2012
Discount rate |  | 4.90% |  | 4.17% |  | 5.51%
Rate of compensation increases |  | 4.50% |  | 4.50% |  | 4.50%
Bonus payment |  | 60% - 70% of base, paid 3 of 5 years |  | 60% - 70% of base, paid 3 of 5 years |  | 60% - 70% of base, paid 3 of 5 years

The 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 the SERP plan relative to the durations implicit in the broader indices. The discount rate is utilized principally in calculating the actuarial present value of our obligation and periodic expense pursuant to the SERP. To the extent the discount rate increases or decreases, our SERP obligation is decreased or increased, accordingly.

The following table presents the benefits expected to be paid in the next ten fiscal years:

Fiscal year |  |  |
2015 |  | $ | 653 |
2016 |  |  | 650 |
2017 |  |  | 642 |
2018 |  |  | 629 |
2019 |  |  | 611 |
2020 — 2024 |  |  | 3,073 |

The following table presents the components of AOCL that have not yet been recognized in net pension expense:

|  | June 26, 2014 |  |  | June 27, 2013 |
Unrecognized net gain |  | $ | 735 |  |  | $ | 2,257 |
Unrecognized prior service cost |  |  | (6,220 | ) |  |  | (7,177 | )
Tax effect |  |  | 1,982 |  |  |  | 1,756 |
Net amount unrecognized |  | $ | (3,503 | ) |  | $ | (3,164 | )

We expect to recognize $957 of the prior service cost into net periodic pension expense during the fiscal year ending June 25, 2015.

Item 9 — Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A — Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under 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 CFO concluded that, as of June 26, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and reported to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 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 an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 26, 2014, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 26, 2014.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 26, 2014 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 26, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Disclosure Controls and Procedures or our Internal Control over Financial Reporting 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 of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal controls, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual 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 part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Item 9B — Other Information

There was no information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 that was not previously reported.
