Description:

Gold Kist Inc. (Gold Kist) operates an integrated broiler production, processing and marketing business. The Company's broiler production operations include nine broiler complexes located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Each complex operates in a different geographic region and includes pullet (young hens less than 26 weeks old grown as replacement hens for breeding) and breeder (hatching egg) flocks, broiler flocks, hatcheries, feed mills and poultry processing plants. Its broiler products include whole broilers, cut-up broilers, segregated broiler parts and further-processed products packaged in various forms, including fresh bulk ice pack, chill pack and frozen. The Company's registered trademarks include the Gold Kist Farms, Young 'n Tender, Early Bird, Dish in a Dash and McEver's brands. During the fiscal year ended October 1, 2005, Gold Kist's value-added products represented approximately 52% of the Company's sales. For the twenty six weeks ended 1 April 2006, Gold Kist Inc.'s revenues decreased 4% to $1.08B. Net loss totaled $13.7M vs. an income of $42.9M. Revenues reflect lowering of prices due to increased supply of boilers in domestic markets. Net loss reflects a decline in gross margins due to an increase in cost of sales as a result of increased utilities, freight & package costs and a decrease in other income.
