     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates

     during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from those estimates.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
September 28, 2002

Financial Condition

Continued losses and negative cash flow during the quarter have further eroded
the Company's liquidity. A bank loan and revolving credit facility expire in
April, 2003; the Company has been and will continue to negotiate for partial
replacement financing in addition to exploring other actions to provide
necessary liquidity. As of September 28, 2002 the remaining availability
under the revolving credit facility was $2,516,376. The large total current
liability reflected in the balance sheet is a result of the debt maturing
in April, 2003.

Results of Operations

Net revenues for the quarter declined by 3.6% as compared to the same period of
a year ago. Revenues for the 26 week period were 4.2% lower than for the same
period a year ago. Lower market prices account for the major part of this
revenue loss.

Gross margins were adversely impacted by the lower market prices, 5.5% lower
for the quarter ended September 28, 2002 as compared to the same period a year
ago and 2.56% lower for the six months ended September 28, 2002 as compared to
the same period a year ago. During the quarter and six month periods the major
deviations in market prices were experienced for; wings 48.8% lower for the
quarter and 47.3% lower for the six month period when compared to the previous
year; breast tenders 17.5% lower for the quarter and 17.6% lower for the six
month period when compared to the previous year; leg quarters 47.16% lower for
the quarter and 40.8% lower for the six month period when compared to the
previous year. All of the above reflect the impact of the Russian embargo and
the abundance of meat protein on the market.

Drought conditions during the summer and its impact on feed grain prices caused
feed ingredient prices to increase over the previous year by 4.6% in the
quarter ended September 28, 2002 and 2.7% for the six months as compared to a
year ago levels. High fixed costs associated with the new facility in Perry
continue to impact margins.

Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses

As a group these expenses increased by 17.2% and 11.9% respectively for the 13
weeks and 26 weeks ended September 28, 2002 as compared to a year earlier with
the major increases caused by bank fees and outside consultants involved with
the Company's efforts to secure replacement financing for facilities maturing
in April, 2003.

Interest Expense

Lower interest expense for the quarter and six months periods reflects
significantly lower borrowing levels.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Reflects absence of income from the two joint venture which were sold April
30, 2002.

Other Income

The difference in other income reflects the gain from the sale of the Company's
interest in two joint ventures as well as the effect of settlement of several
lawsuits, of which $750,000 has been paid and the balance of $500,000 is
accrued awaiting appropriate release.

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.

Part II	Other Information

Item 1  Legal Proceedings
       Suit was filed against Cagle's Farms, Inc. on December 18, 1998 in
       U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by terminated
       contract broiler growers.  Cagle's, Inc. was subsequently added as a
       party.  These former growers sought unspecified damages and alleged,
       among other things, that their birds were misweighed on numerous
       occasions and that they were terminated as growers because of their
       involvement in a poultry growers association.  Cagle's, Inc. and
       Cagle's Farms, Inc. denied all allegations.  In addition to the
       above mentioned case, a suit was brought against Cagle's, Inc., Cagle's
       Farms, Inc., Cagle Foods JV, LLC and Cagle Keystone Food JV, LLC on May
       12, 1999 in U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
       by three contract broiler growers.  This suit alleged certain
       discrepancies in weighing live poultry as it is received at the
       processing plant and seek unspecified damages.  This suit sought class
       action status, which was denied by the Court.  Subsequently, on July 2,
       2001, a number of individual contract broiler growers filed suit in
       U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, also
       alleging certain discrepancies in weighing and seeking unspecified
       damages.  Cagle's, Inc. and Cagle's Farms, Inc. denied all allegations.
       An oral settlement agreement was reached covering these three cases and
       the Company made a partial payment which it understood the plaintiffs
       would apply as settlement of the December 18, 1998 case.  During the past
       quarter, however, the plaintiffs in the other two cases demanded more
       money in settlement than the remaining amount that the Company had agreed
       to pay.  The Company has filed a motion to enforce the settlement
       agreement which is now pending in U. S. District Court for the Northern
       District of Georgia.


Item 9  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
      a.  Not applicable
      b.  Reports on 8-K were filed on April 10, 2002 and amended on April 17,
          2002 relating to the change of the Company's auditors.
          An 8-k report was filed May 9, 2002 relating to the sale of the
          Company's interest in Cagle Foods JV, LLC and Cagle Foods Credit LLC
          and amended on June 26, 2002 to provide pro forma statements
          reflecting the sale of the two joint ventures.
      c.  A report on Form 10Q/A was filed October 31, 2002 amending Form 10Q
          filed August 12, 2002 for the period ended June 29, 2002 to
