Explanation of Responses:
1. Shares owned by Golden Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary's Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Ms. Townsend serves on the Plan Administrative Committee with two other individuals. The vote of two members in favor of any proposed action is required. Consequently, Ms. Townsend shares in the voting of the Golden Enterprises stock owned by the Plan. The securities disposed represent the difference of share ownership by the Plan from last year's record date. In addition, as an employee of Golden Enterprises, Ms. Townsend participates in the Plan and 783 shares of Golden Enterprises stock have vested to her account. Ms. Townsend disclaims any beneficial ownership in the remaining shares held by the Plan.
2. Options granted under the Golden Enterprises, Inc. 1996 Long Term Incentive Plan.
3. All 20,000 of the options may be exercised on and after October 15, 2001. To date, none of the options have been exercised.
