TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On September 23, 2004, Golden Enterprises issued a press release (the "Earnings
Press Release") announcing its earnings for the First quarter ended August 31,
2004. A copy of the Earnings Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. The
Earnings Press Release is incorporated herein by Reference.
(a.) Golden Enterprises, Inc.'s Board of Directors today declared a quarterly
dividend of $.03125 per share payable October 27, 2004 to stockholders of
record on October 8, 2004.
For the three months ended August 31, 2004, Golden Enterprises, Inc.'s
basic and diluted earnings per share were $.02 compared to $.04 last year
(restated), on net sales of $24,766,426 versus $24,580,778, 1% increase.
During the first quarter, gross margins increased $.15 million, or 1%,
compared to the prior year quarter, as gains from improved manufacturing
efficiencies more than offset net unfavorable raw material and packaging
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $.59 million, or 5%
during the first quarter ended August 31, 2004. This increase was primarily
in selling and delivery expenses and employee benefit costs.
Management will continue to explore ways to manage our rising fuel cost and
other increasing commodities.
The following is a summary of sales and income information for the three
months ended August 31, 2004 and 2003.
