Commitments and Contingencies

Note 3 - Commitments and Contingencies:

 

We invested in OTR (over-the-road) tractors financed by a capital lease obligation in the amount of $1,060 during fiscal 2012. The total capital lease obligation remaining for transportation equipment as of July 7, 2017 is $462. The lease arrangement also contains a variable component of seven cents per mile based on miles driven over the lease life.

 

The Company also leases warehouse and/or office facilities throughout the United States through month-to-month rental agreements. No material changes have been made to these agreements during the first thirty-six weeks of fiscal 2017.

 

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Most flour purchases are made at market price without contracts. However, the Company may purchase bulk flour at current market prices under short-term (30 - 120 days) fixed price contracts during the normal course of business. Under these arrangements, the Company is obligated to purchase specific quantities at fixed prices, within the specified contract period. These contracts provide for automatic price increases if agreed quantities are not purchased within the specified contract period. The contracts are not material. These contracts are typically settled within a month’s time and no significant contracts remain open at the close of the quarterly or annual reporting period. No significant contracts remained unfulfilled at July 7, 2017. The Company does not participate in the commodity futures market or hedging to limit commodity exposure.

 

The Company purchased an existing facility in the Chicago area for approximately $5.6 million cash on March 23, 2017. The Company has spent approximately $1.8 million on building improvements through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and expects to spend approximately $2.0 million in total on improvements upon completion of the renovations. Initial product shipments were received at the new facility on July 27, 2017 as the facility commenced operations.
