Cagle's, Inc. & Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
December 29, 2001

1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
   financial statements contain all adjustments which are of a normal and
   recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
   position of Cagle's, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of September 29,
   2001 and March 31, 2001 and the results of their operations for the 13 weeks
   and 39 weeks ended December 29,2001 and December 30,2000.

2. The results of operations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended December
   29,2001 and December 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
   expected for the full year.

3. Inventories consisted of the following:
    (In Thousands)
                                    December 29,2001      	March 31, 2001

    Finished Product                     $16,516               $14,289
    Field Inventory and Breeders          15,562                15,356
    Feed, Eggs, and Medication             5,130                 3,780
    Supplies                               1,526                 1,605
                                 ----------------        --------------
                                         $38,734               $35,070

4.  Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
     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.

5.  Investments in and Receivables from Unconsolidated Affiliates.
     The Company accounts for its investments in 5 unconsolidated affiliates
     using the equity method.  The Company's share of earnings from these
     affiliates totaled $3,037,000 and $3,067,000 respectively for the 13 weeks
     ended December 29, 2001 and December 30,2000 and $8,679,000 and
     $8,870,000 respectively for the 39 week periods ended the same dates.

6.  Accounting for derivative instruments SFAS no. 133.
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 during the first quarter of this fiscal
     year and recorded the change in fair market value of interest rate swaps
     used to hedge $25,000,000 in variable rate debt in accordance with SFAS
     133. The resulting charge(Loss) to equity was ($916,640).  The charge to
     equity for the quarter ended September 29,2001 was $531,902 and forth
     quarter ended December 29, 2001, a gain of $429,996.  There was an effect

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
December 29, 2001

Financial Condition

Weak demand for boneless skinless breast meat and tenders and the resulting
low market prices, seasonal inventory increases combined with continuing
inefficiencies associate with the new processing facility in Perry, Ga.
resulted in losses for the quarter.  The continued losses continued to
strain the Company's liquidity as additional utilization of a revolving
credit facility was required to fund operational requirements; increased
inventory and accounts receivable levels.  The sale of an idle facility is
reflected in the results of the quarter and resulted in a gain of $968,991
and cash of $2.5 million.  In addition, the Company received a subordinated
note for $1 million for the balance of the sale price.  The additional gain
reflected by the $1 million note is deferred until the note is paid.

During the quarter ended December 29, 2001 the Company sold its Macon
processing facility which had ceased production in June of 2001.  The
Company received a first mortgage on the plant for the selling price of
$6.8 million and the sale will be reported on the installment basis as the
mortgage is paid.  There was no impact on the financial statements as of
December 29, 2001.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the 13 week and 39 week periods ended December 29, 2001 increased
by 44.02% and 28.71% as compared to corresponding periods of a year ago.  This
increase is attributed to the additional production, approximately 29% more
eviscerated pounds for the 39 week period ended December 29, 2001 compared to a
year ago and 36.16% more pounds in the 13 week period ended December 29, 2001
as compared to the 13 weeks ended December 30, 2000.

Market prices continued to challenge as most items remained at depressed
levels, wings and leg quarters being the exceptions.  Boneless, skinless
breast meat and tenders, the major volume items remained at historically
low levels with strike prices substantially lower, than the nationally
quoted markets, both for the 13 week period and the 39 week period as
compared to the same period of a year ago.

Cost was adversely affected by a slight increase in feed cost which was 6.87%
higher on average for the 13 week period compared to year ago levels and 3.5%
higher for the 39 week period than from the corresponding period of a year ago.

Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses

There was no significant change in these expenses as a class, however legal
expenses continue to be a burden associated with ongoing litigation.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased 12.8% for the 13 weeks period as compared to the
same period of a year ago and is attributed to higher borrowing levels.  The
increase for the 39 week period ended December 29, 2001 was 151% however
during the 39 week period ended December 30, 2000 $3,124,000 of interest was
capitalized and not reflected in interest expense.  While rates have dropped
significantly the Company's debt include $52,000,000 at fixed rates either as
fixed rate debt or of variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps.




Other Income

Other income for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 exceeded that of the same
period of a year ago by 12% and includes the gain recorded from the sale of the
idle further processing plant.  The earnings impact(expense) of $253,000 from
FAS133 is also included in this category).  For the 39 week period ended
December 31, 2001 other income was not materially changed.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects the Company's taxes calculated at
statutory rates and in the case of a reported loss reflects the Company's
ability to obtain a refund of previously paid taxes. Statutory rates are
adjusted for any credits to which the company may be entitled.
