     and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
     the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from those estimates.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
September 27, 2003

Financial Condition

While the Company is reporting a loss for the quarter, the months of August
and September were both profitable. Liquidity continues to be very tight
since a portion of the improved cash flow has been required by the bank group
as a pay down of debt; in addition to imposing fees and requiring a number of
consultants, as well as increased legal and professional fees required by
numerous amendments to loan agreements. Agreement to deferral of principle
payments on a term loan has been a benefit to efforts to improve liquidity.

The loan agreement with the bank group expires on April 10, 2004, however
there are covenants and payments that must be met or the loan will become
due immediately unless waived.

The company subsequent to the end of the quarter (09/27/03) has signed a
letter of intent to sell its Perry, Georgia complex, consisting of a
processing plant, a feed mill and a hatchery and grow-out operation which
along with an anticipated working capital revolving loan will pay off the
existing bank group loans. The letter of intent projects a closing of no
later than January 31, 2004, with both parties committed to make every
effort to complete the sale by December 31, 2003.

These actions are expected to substantially de-leverage the company and
provide liquidity.

Results of Operations

Market prices continued the improved movement begun last quarter and were a
major component of the improved performance as compared to the 13 weeks and
26 weeks of a year ago.

Revenues were 4.9% higher for the 13 weeks ended September 27, 2003 as
compared to the same period of a year ago due primarily to the substantially
improved market prices. Revenues for the twenty six week period were 5% lower
than a year ago for the same period. The lower revenue was the result of less
production and a full shift reduction at one processing plant; this was
lessened somewhat by a smaller increase at another plant and the higher
market prices.

Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses

As a group these expenses were reduced by 9.9% for the quarter and 12.6% for
the twenty six weeks as compared against a year ago and reflect the results of
cost reduction efforts which were offset to some extent by bank fees,
professional fees and legal expenses associated with efforts to secure new
financing and to comply with existing lending requirements.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by 28.7% for the thirteen weeks ended September
27, 2003 as compared to the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2002. The twenty
six weeks period ended September 27, 2003 reflects an increase of 15.7% as
compared to the corresponding period of a year ago. The increase reflects
higher rates and borrowing levels.

Other Income

Year ago results reflects gain from the sale of the Companies interest in two
joint ventures as well as the effect of settlements of several lawsuits.



Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

The reduced earnings in this classification reflects the absence of earnings
from the absence of income from the joint ventures which were sold in the
previous year.


Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects the Company's estimated liability for
income taxes net of any credits to which the Company may be entitled. The
benefit reflected represents the company's expectation of carrying current
losses forward to reduce the tax liability on future earnings.

Part II	Other Information

Item 1  Legal Proceedings

Suit was filed on May 19, 1999 against Cagle's, Inc., Cagle's Farms, Inc.,
Cagle Foods JV, LLC, Cagle Foods Credit LLC and Cagle's Keystone Foods, LLC
in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia.  This suit
was brought by contract growers seeking unspecified damages and alleging the
defendants misrepresented certain facts regarding profitability and cash flow
as an inducement to their becoming contract producers.  The Company and other
defendants denied all allegations.  During the last quarter, the Court
entered Summary Judgment in favor of all defendants.  The plaintiffs appealed

was dismissed with prejudice by the Court of Appeals during the last quarter.
