in the operating losses for the turkey segment for the nine months
ended
July 1, 2006 are charges of $3.8 million to write certain assets
down to
estimated realizable value. These assets are held for sale and
are related
to the Franconia, Pennsylvania turkey cooking facility at which
the
Company ceased production of certain products in March 2006. Also
included
in the operating losses for the turkey segment for the same nine
month
period are accrued severance expenses totaling $0.2 million and
charges of
$2.5 million to reduce certain packaging and supplies, bringing
the total
charges for the nine months ended July 1, 2006 to $6.5 million.
Included
in the three months ended July 2, 2005 is $0.8 million and in the
nine
months ended July 2, 2005 is $5.2 million in proceeds from the
final
resolution of our 2004 turkey restructuring activities.
|
(c)
|
Includes
amortization of capitalized financing costs of approximately $0.5
million
and $0.6 million for the three month periods and $2.0 million and
$1.7
million for the nine month periods ending July 1, 2006 and July
2, 2005,
respectively.

First,
we have delayed one-half of our planned expansion in the Fresh
Food
Service Division of our Mayfield, Kentucky plant from early July
until
mid-September of this year, and the other half of this expansion
from
early July 2006 until April 2007.
|
·
|
Third,
we reduced our planned capital investments for the year by $30-$50
million. Our original capital investment projection for the year had
been in the range of $180-$200 million. Our
new estimated range for the year is $140-$150 million. We are
focusing only on those projects we deem critically necessary to our
business or those in which our immediate investment is judged by
us to be in our best long-term interests.
|
·
|
Fourth,
we have sharpened our focus on reducing costs and operating more
efficiently. For example, in order to eliminate holiday and overtime
premiums, we cut egg placements for Memorial Day and the Fourth
of July as
well as other previously planned Saturday productions.
|
· |
Reduced
selling prices for chicken created by market disruptions caused by
the
avian influenza scares in other parts of the world. Reduced selling
prices
for our Mexico produced chicken partially offset by an increase in
pounds
sold in Mexico.
|
· |
Increased
cost of sales due to higher freight delivery costs, as well as the
cost of
fuel in other areas.

U.S.
chicken sales for the quarter declined compared to the same quarter
last
fiscal year due to an 11.3% decrease in net revenue per pound sold
partially offset by a 2.4% increase in the number of pounds sold.
Excess
inventories created by the lack of demand for export products in
prior
quarters created downward pressure on pricing.
|
(b)
|
Mexico
chicken sales decreased compared to the third quarter last fiscal
year
because of a 13.0% decrease in revenue per pound sold partially
offset by
a 7.6% increase in pounds sold.
|
(c)
|
Turkey
sales declined due to our decision in the first quarter of fiscal
2006 to
cease production of certain products at our Franconia, Pennsylvania
turkey
cooking operation.
|
(d)
|
U.S.
other product sales decreased primarily due to the divestiture
of
non-poultry related distribution
facilities.

U.S.
chicken sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were 6.4%
less than
the first nine months of fiscal 2005 because of a 1.3% decline in
pounds
sold and a 5.3% decline in net revenue per pound sold created by
market
disruptions caused by the avian influenza scare in other parts of
the
world.
|
(b)
|
Mexico
chicken sales increased due to a 9.1% increase in pounds sold during
the
first nine months of fiscal 2006 versus the first nine months of
fiscal
2005 substantially offset by an 8.0% decline in net revenue per pound
sold.
|
(c)

Turkey
sales declined because of the March 2006 discontinuation of certain
products discussed above.

(d)

ingredient costs and higher energy costs and transportation costs
created
by fuel cost increases. Supplemental fuel payments to growers in
the first
nine months of fiscal 2006 were $11.7 million higher than in the
first
nine months of fiscal 2005. Included in cost of sales for the first
nine
months of fiscal 2006 was a charge of $3.8 million to impair the
carrying
value of certain equipment currently held for sale and formerly used
in
our turkey division, a charge of $2.5 million to reduce the value
of
certain packaging and supplies associated with those products and
$0.2
million for severance costs. Included in the cost of sales for the
first
nine months of fiscal 2005 were proceeds of $5.2 million from the
final
resolution of the 2004 turkey restructuring activities.
|
(b)
|
Gross
profit decreased $346.1 million due to the combination of depressed
selling prices, due primarily to a decrease in export demand for
U.S.
chicken products caused by changes in buying patterns in foreign
markets
as a result of avian influenza outbreaks in those countries, increased
feed ingredient costs and freight and fuel
costs.

Based

the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this

Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements and other financial information
included in this report, fairly present in all material respects
the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;

The
registrant’s other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as

control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|

a.)
|
Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is
being
prepared;
|

b.)
|
Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,
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;
|

c.)
|
Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures
and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness
of
the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period
covered by this report based upon such evaluation; and
|

d.)
|
Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent
fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to
materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting; and

most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
to
the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):
|

a.)
|
All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial information;
