NOTE A - MERGER AGREEMENT

On April 10, 2001, Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("(“Michael ~~Foods"~~Foods”, ~~"Company"~~“Company”, ~~"we"~~“we”, ~~"us"~~“us”, ~~"our"~~“our”) was acquired in a transaction (the ~~"Merger"~~“Merger”) led by an investor group comprised of a management group led by Michael ~~Foods'~~Foods’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Ostrander, affiliates of Jeffrey Michael, a member of the ~~Michael Foods~~Predecessor’s Board of Directors, and affiliates of two private equity investment firms, Vestar Capital Partners and Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Incorporated, (collectively, ~~"M-Foods~~“M-Foods Investors, ~~LLC"~~LLC”). Under the terms of the Merger agreement, all outstanding shares of Michael Foods common stock were converted into the right to receive $30.10 per share in cash, or value equal thereto, and all outstanding stock options were converted into the right to receive, in cash, $30.10 per share reduced by the exercise price per share for all shares subject to such stock options. The purchase of the outstanding shares was financed through new equity financing of approximately $175,000,000, a senior secured credit facility of up to $470,000,000 at market-based variable interest rates (effective rate of ~~7.5% at April 10, 2001)~~approximately 6.0% as of March 31, 2002), and $200,000,000 of senior subordinated notes at an 11.75% annual interest rate. As a result of the Merger, the stock of pre-merger Michael Foods ~~("Predecessor"~~(“Predecessor”) is no longer publicly traded and, therefore, earnings per share calculations are no longer included for financial statement presentation.

Immediately after the close of the Merger, ~~the Company~~we contributed the assets of ~~its~~our Dairy division into two limited liability corporations, M-Foods Dairy, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (collectively, the ~~"Dairy LLCs"~~“Dairy LLCs”) and in exchange received voting preferred and voting common units from these entities equal to the fair value of the net assets contributed, which collectively were approximately ~~$40,000,000.~~$35,800,000. The preferred units issued to ~~the Company~~us have an annual 10% preferred return guarantee and represent 100% of the preferred units issued and outstanding. In addition, ~~the Company~~we received 5% of the common units issued by the Dairy LLCs, with the common units held by the Company representing 100% of the voting common units issued and outstanding. These common units have a stated value of $25,000. The remaining 95% of the common units, which are non-voting, are owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC, which is owned by the same owners or affiliates of such owners, in the same proportion, as the unit holders of M-Foods Investors, LLC. The common unit interests owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC were issued in exchange for $475,000 and are reflected as ~~minority~~non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of ~~June 30, 2001.~~ March 31, 2002.

The Merger was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16, Business Combinations and EITF 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout ~~Transactions.~~Transactions. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities have been recorded at fair value for the interests acquired by new investors and at the carryover basis for continuing investors. As a result, the assets and

liabilities were assigned new values, which are part Predecessor cost and part fair value in the same proportions as the carryover basis of the residual interests retained by the continuing management investors and continuing affiliate investors of the Michael family, and the new interests acquired by the new investors. The amount of carryover basis was reflected as a deemed dividend of $66,631,000.

For ease of presentation, the Merger was accounted for as if it had occurred on April 1, 2001. Management determined that results of operations were not significant and no material transactions occurred during the period from April 1 through April 9, 2001. ~~The Company's~~Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis with the ~~Predecessor's~~Predecessor’s historical consolidated financial statements prior to the date of Merger. Different bases of accounting have been used to prepare the Company and Predecessor consolidated financial statements. The primary differences relate to additional interest expense for new debt and depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and other intangible assets recorded at fair value at the date of Merger. 6 ~~NOTE A - MERGER AGREEMENT (cont.)~~

For accounting purposes the Merger iswas considered a leveraged buyout. The total purchase price of approximately $562,881,000 was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their fair values at April 1, 2001, net of the deemed dividend. These allocations were based on a valuation by a third party appraisal firm. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows: Working capital $ 88,663,000 Property, plant & equipment 309,517,000 Other assets 43,001,000 Goodwill 345,819,000 Long-term debt 588,426,000 Other liabilities 52,389,000
These allocations were based primarily on a preliminary valuation by a third party appraisal firm. Accordingly, the allocations related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, could change when the final valuation report is received. However, management believes the final allocations will not vary significantly from the allocations indicated above.

In connection with the Merger, the Predecessor incurred transaction expenses of approximately $26,600,000 associated with the Merger and change-in-control provisions of various compensation, debt and other agreements, which have been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements. These transaction expenses include the extraordinary item related to the early extinguishment of debt resulting from the change-in-control. In addition, ~~the Company~~we incurred other merger related and debt issuance costs of approximately $40,000,000, which have been capitalized as direct costs of the Merger and deferred financing costs in ~~the Company's~~our consolidated balance sheet.

We adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and had no acquisitions between July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002.
As a result of adopting SFAS No. ~~133, "Accounting~~141 and SFAS No. 142, our accounting policies for ~~Derivative Instruments~~goodwill and ~~Hedging Activities,"~~intangible assets changed effective January 1, 2002 as ~~amended. This standard establishes accounting~~described below:
7

Goodwill and ~~reporting standards~~Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives:
We recognize the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired, including intangible assets with indefinite lives, and liabilities assumed, as goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for ~~derivative~~impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever there is an impairment indicated. Impairment losses will be recognized whenever the implied fair value is less than the carrying value of the related asset. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives were amortized over 40 years. Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives were no longer amortized.
Other Intangibles:
We recognize an acquired intangible apart from goodwill whenever the asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever it is capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. An intangible other than goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful life unless that life is determined to be indefinite. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we completed the transitional impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets with no impairment indicated. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, we will complete the transitional impairment test of goodwill and other intangibles. We do not believe the impairment testing will have a material effect on our results of operations or financial ~~instruments~~position.
Our carrying amount, net of accumulated amortization, for goodwill as of March 31, 2002 and ~~hedge activities. Certain~~December 31, 2001 was $341,021,000. Each segment’s share of ~~our operating segments, most notably our Egg Products Division, hold derivative instruments, such~~this goodwill at these dates was as ~~exchange traded corn~~follows:

The ~~amount of hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial~~aggregate amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, ~~2001 and the three months ended June 30, 2001.~~2002 was approximately $180,000. The ~~Company actively monitors its exposure to commodity price risks and uses derivative commodity instruments to manage the impact~~Predecessor had amortization expense of certain of these risks. We use derivatives only for the purpose of managing risks associated with underlying exposures, primarily exchange-traded futures contracts to manage its exposure to changes in corn and soybean meal prices. Our commodity contracts are cash flow hedges of firm purchase commitments and anticipated production requirements, as they reduce our exposure to changes in the cash price of grain and generally extend for less than one year. The Company does not trade or use instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on the commodity price, nor does it use instruments where there are not underlying exposures. Gains and losses on futures contracts are deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") in the Company's equity section of the balance sheet and recognized as an adjustment to the cost of the related inventory item, and subsequently recognized in cost of sales when the associated products are sold. The cost or benefit of contracts closed prior to the execution of the underlying purchase is deferred until the anticipated grain purchase occurs. As a result of the volatility of the grain markets, deferred gains and losses in AOCL may fluctuate until the related contract is closed. 8 Initially, upon adoption of the new derivative accounting standard, and prospectively as required by the standard on the date new derivatives are entered into, we formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This process includes specific identification of the hedging instrument and the hedge transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness will be assessed. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge or the forecasted transaction being hedged will no longer occur, we will discontinue hedge accounting, and any gains or losses on the derivative instrument would be recognized in earnings$500,000 during the period ~~it no longer qualifies as a hedge. No such instances occurred in the three months~~ ended March 31, ~~2001 and~~2001. The estimated amortization expense for the ~~three months~~years ended ~~June 30, 2001.~~ December 31, 2002 through December 31, 2006 is as follows:

Other New Pronouncements:
On January 1, 2002 we adopted SFAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-25 Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration to a Reseller on the Vendors Products, effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of EITF Issue 00-25 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE CD - INVENTORIES
Inventories, other than flocks, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Flock inventory represents the cost of purchasing and raising flocks to laying maturity, at which time their cost is amortized to operations over their expected useful life of generally one to two years, assuming no salvage value.
Inventories consisted of the following: COMPANY PREDECESSOR June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 --------------------- --------------------- Raw materials and supplies $15,693,000 $15,107,000 Work in process and finished goods 40,812,000 41,366,000 Flocks 23,486,000 19,261,000 --------------------- --------------------- $79,991,000 $75,734,000 ===================== =====================
~~NOTE D - GOODWILL The Predecessor's acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and the excess~~ of the total acquisition costs over the fair value of the net assets acquired were recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Predecessor accumulated amortization was $23,549,000 at December 31, 2000, while the Company had accumulated amortization of $2,191,000 at June 30, 2001. At April 1, 2001, goodwill was recorded for the excess of the purchase price of the Merger over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company amortizes its goodwill over a 40 year period. Goodwill has been assigned to each of the operating subsidiaries down to the reporting unit level. The Company evaluates its goodwill annually to determine potential impairment by comparing its carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows of the related assets. In July 2001, the FASB issued two statements: Statement 141 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS and Statement 142 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. These pronouncements, among other things, eliminated the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, requires intangible assets acquired in business combinations be recorded separately from goodwill if certain requirements are met, and eliminates the amortization of goodwill for financial reporting purposes effective for the Company beginning in January 2002. However, thereafter goodwill will be tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises. The amount of goodwill amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $2,191,000. Goodwill amortization for the nine months ending December 31, 2001 is expected to be approximately $6,600,000. 9 following:

NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ~~LICENSE AGREEMENT~~
Egg Procurement Contracts:
We maintain egg procurement contracts with numerous cooperatives and egg producers throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States, which supply approximately 50% of our egg requirements. These contracts vary in length from
9

18 to 72 months with prices primarily indexed to grain or Urner Barry market indices. No single egg supplier provides more than 10% of our egg requirements.
Patent Litigation:
We have an exclusive license agreement for a patented process for the production and sale of extended shelf-life liquid egg products. Under the license agreement, we have the right to defend and prosecute infringement of the underlying patents. We may apply 50% of our costs of defending the patents to future royalty ~~payments under the license agreements.~~ payments.
The U.S. Federal Court of Appeals has upheld the validity of the patents which are the subject of the license agreement. Subsequently, a patent examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected the patents. We and the patent holder appealed the decision of the examiner and the validity of the patents was upheld.on two separate occasions. In September 2000, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office allowed product claims beyond the process claims previously allowed ~~under the patents~~ for the extended shelf-life egg product. ~~The patents remain valid and in full force and effect.~~ These patents are scheduled to expire beginning in 2006.
In 2000, wethe Predecessor settled litigation with one party related to the infringement of these patents and issued a sub-license to the infringing party granting them the right to manufacture and distribute extended shelf-life liquid whole egg ~~products~~product subject to a royalty payable to us and the patent holder on all future product sold. In connection with this settlement, the patent holder received a lump sum payment for the past production and sale of the product and other matters related to the infringement. We ~~continue~~are continuing to pursue litigation related to other parties who are infringing ~~these~~the product and process ~~patents.

On April 10, 2001, Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("(“Michael ~~Foods"~~Foods”) was acquired in a transaction (the ~~"Merger"~~“Merger”) led by an investor group comprised of a management group led by Michael ~~Foods'~~Foods’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Ostrander, affiliates of Jeffrey Michael, a member of the ~~Michael Foods~~Predecessor Board of Directors, and affiliates of two private equity investment firms, Vestar Capital Partners and Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Incorporated, ~~(collectively, "M-Foods~~collectively, M-Foods Investors, ~~LLC").~~LLC. Under the terms of the Merger agreement, all outstanding shares of Michael Foods ~~common~~common stock were converted into the right to receive $30.10 per share in cash, or value equal thereto, and all outstanding stock options were converted into the right to receive, in cash, $30.10 per share reduced by the exercise price per share for all shares subject to such stock options. The purchase of the ~~outstanding~~outstanding shares was financed through new equity financing of approximately $175,000,000, a senior secured credit facility of up to $470,000,000 at market-based variable interest rates (effective rate of ~~7.5% at April 10, 2001)~~approximately 6.0% as of March 31, 2002), and $200,000,000 of senior subordinated notes at an 11.75% annual ~~interest~~interest rate.
Immediately after the close of the Merger, Michael Foods contributed the assets of its Dairy division into two limited liability corporations, ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (collectively, the ~~"Dairy LLCs"~~“Dairy LLCs”) and in exchange received voting preferred and voting common units from these entities equal to the fair value of the net assets contributed, which collectively were ~~approximately $40,000,000~~approximately $35,800,000 (the approximate fair value contributed to ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy, LLC was ~~$30,000,000)~~$26,850,000). The preferred units issued to Michael Foods have an annual 10% preferred return guarantee and represent 100% of the preferred units issued and outstanding. In addition, Michael Foods received 5% of the common units issued by each of the Dairy LLCs with the common units held by Michael Foods representing 100% of the voting common units issued and outstanding. These common units have a stated value of $25,000. The remaining 95% of the common units, which are non-voting, are owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC, which is owned by the same owners, or affiliates of such owners, in the same proportion, as the unit holders of M-Foods Investors, LLC. The Dairy LLCs common unit interest owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC was purchased for $475,000 as of April 1, 2001.

Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities ~~have been~~were recorded at fair value for the interests acquired by new investors and at the carryover basis for continuing investors. As a result, the assets and liabilities ~~are~~were assigned new values, which are part Predecessor cost and part fair value, in the same proportions as the carryover basis of the residual interests retained by the continuing management investors and continuing affiliate investors of the Michael family and the new interests acquired by the new investors. The deemed dividend related to the Michael Foods investment in the assets and liabilities of the Dairy LLCs was pushed down to these majority owned subsidiaries, as if they were wholly owned subsidiaries since Michael Foods owns all of the voting stock and the Dairy LLCs are being operated by the management of Michael Foods. The amount of the deemed dividend at Michael Foods was ~~$66,631,000 and the portion attributable to the Company was $832,000.~~ $66,631,000.

The ~~Company's~~Company’s financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis with the ~~Predecessor's~~Predecessor’s historical operating unit financial statements, prior to the date of Merger. Different bases of accounting have been used to prepare the Company and Predecessor financial statements. The primary differences relate to the 10% yield on preferred units, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and other intangible assets recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, and income taxes which are payable by the ~~Company's~~Company’s unit holders.
The fair value contributed by Michael Foods to ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy, LLC was ~~$30,000,000.~~$26,850,000. In addition, $356,250 was contributed by new investors in exchange for Class B non-voting common units. This combined amount was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values at April 1, 2001, net of the deemed dividend. The fair values of long-term assets were obtained from a ~~preliminary~~ valuation report issued by a third party appraisal firm. The allocations were as follows: Working capital $10,427,000 Property, plant & equipment 15,135,000 Other assets, including goodwill 3,962,000

Management believes its allocations to these Operating Unit financial statements are reasonable. Additionally, Operating Unit equity includes the cumulative net advances between the Operating Unit and Michael Foods, which are considered additional capital invested from or, constructive dividends to, Michael Foods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the results that could have been obtained if the Operating Unit had been operated ~~during the periods presented~~ as a stand-alone entity. The historical results of the Company and Predecessor for the periods indicated are not necessarily indicative of ~~their~~the results of the Company for a full year.
The accounting policies of the Predecessor have been adopted by the Company. ~~USE OF ESTIMATES~~
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with ~~accounting~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related revenues and expenses and disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates used by management. ~~INVENTORIES~~

Adoption of New Accounting Policies
Goodwill and Intangible Assets:
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, “Business Combinations”, and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and had no acquisitions between July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002.
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, the Company’s accounting policies for goodwill ~~was recorded for~~and intangible assets changed effective January 1, 2002 as described below:
Goodwill:
The Company recognizes the excess cost of ~~total acquisition costs~~an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever there is an impairment indicated. Impairment losses will be recognized whenever the implied fair value of net assets acquired based on the total cost of the Merger. The Company amortizes its goodwill over a 40 year period. The Company evaluates its goodwill annually to determine potential impairment by comparingis less than the carrying value of the related asset. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill towas amortized over 40 years. Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized.
During the ~~undiscounted future cash flows~~second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company will complete the transitional impairment test of goodwill. The Company does not believe the impairment testing will have a material effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the ~~related assets. In July~~Company.
The Company’s carrying amount, net of accumulated amortization, for goodwill as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $1,764,000.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net earnings, as reported in the ~~FASB issued two statements: Statement 141 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS and Statement 142 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. These pronouncements, among other things, eliminated~~financial statements, to those amounts adjusted for goodwill as determined in accordance with the ~~pooling-of-interest method~~provisions of ~~accounting for business combinations and eliminated~~SFAS 142.

(A MAJORITY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF MICHAEL FOODS, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL ~~STATEMENTS ==============================================================================~~ STATEMENTS
NOTE A -— ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND MERGER ~~ORGANIZATION~~
Organization
M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (the ~~"Company"~~“Company”) is a majority owned subsidiary of Michael Foods, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of M-Foods Holdings, Inc. Prior to the Merger described below, Kohler Mix -— TXCT (the ~~"Predecessor," "Operating Unit"~~“Predecessor,” “Operating Unit” or the ~~"Unit"~~“Unit”) was an operating unit of Michael Foods, Inc. The change in control of Michael Foods, Inc. and the reorganization of the operating unit into ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC are more fully described below. ~~BUSINESS~~
Business
The Company processes and distributes soft serve ice cream mix, frozen yogurt mix, milk and specialty dairy products, many of which are ultra-high temperature pasteurized, from its facilities in Texas and Connecticut. ~~MERGER~~
Merger
On April 10, 2001, Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("(“Michael ~~Foods"~~Foods”) was acquired in a transaction (the ~~Merger"~~“Merger”) led by an investor group comprised of a management group led by Michael ~~Foods'~~Foods’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Ostrander, affiliates of Jeffrey Michael, a member of the ~~Michael Foods~~Predecessor Board of Directors, and affiliates of two private equity investment firms, Vestar Capital Partners and Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Incorporated, ~~(collectively, "M-Foods~~collectively, M-Foods Investors, ~~LLC").~~LLC. Under the terms of the Merger agreement, all outstanding shares of Michael Foods ~~common~~common stock were converted into the right to receive $30.10 per share in cash, or value equal thereto, and all outstanding stock options were converted into the right to receive, in cash, $30.10 per share reduced by the exercise price per share for all shares subject to such stock options. The purchase of the ~~outstanding~~outstanding shares was financed through new equity financing of approximately $175,000,000, a senior secured credit facility of up to $470,000,000 at market-based variable interest rates (effective rate of ~~7.5% at April 10, 2001)~~approximately 6.0% as of March 31, 2002), and $200,000,000 of senior subordinated notes at an 11.75% annual ~~interest~~interest rate.
Immediately after the close of the Merger, Michael Foods contributed the assets of its Dairy division into two limited liability corporations, M-Foods Dairy, LLC and ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (collectively, the ~~"Dairy LLCs"~~“Dairy LLCs”) and in exchange received voting preferred and voting common units from ~~the Dairy LLCs~~these entities equal to the fair value of the net assets contributed, which collectively were ~~approximately $40,000,000~~approximately $35,800,000 (the approximate fair value contributed to ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC was ~~$10,000,000)~~$8,950,000). The preferred units issued to Michael Foods have an annual 10% preferred return guarantee and represent 100% of the preferred units issued and outstanding. In addition, Michael Foods received 5% of the common units issued by each of the Dairy LLCs with the common units held by Michael Foods representing 100% of the voting common units issued and outstanding. These common units have a stated value of $25,000. The remaining 95% of the common units, which are non-voting, are owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC, which is owned by the same owners, or affiliates of such owners, in the same proportion, as the unit holders of M-Foods Investors, LLC. The Dairy LLCs common unit interest owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC was purchased for $475,000 as of April 1, 2001.
29

Following the Merger, Michael Foods, Inc. became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Investors, LLC and ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC became a majority owned subsidiary of Michael Foods, Inc. 35
The Merger ~~has been~~was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16, Business Combinations and EITF 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout ~~Transactions.~~Transactions. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities ~~have been~~were recorded at fair value for the interests acquired by new investors and at the carryover basis for continuing investors. As a result, the assets and liabilities ~~are~~were assigned new values, which are part Predecessor cost and part fair value, in the same proportions as the carryover basis of the residual interests retained by the continuing management investors and continuing affiliate investors of the Michael family and the new interests acquired by the new investors. The deemed dividend related to the Michael Foods investment in the assets and liabilities of the Dairy LLCs was pushed down to these majority owned subsidiaries, as if they were wholly owned subsidiaries since Michael Foods owns all of the voting stock and the Dairy LLCs are being operated by the management of Michael Foods. The amount of the deemed dividend at Michael Foods was $66,631,000. However, the historical cost basis equity of the continuing investors of the Company was $21,623,000, which exceeded the ~~Company's~~Company’s fair market value by ~~$11,623,000.~~$12,673,000. This resulted in an allocation of carryover basis in excess of the fair market value of the Company in the amount of ~~$3,603,000.~~ $3,928,000.
For ease of presentation, the Merger has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as if it had occurred on April 1, 2001. Management determined that no material transactions occurred during the period from April 1 through April 9, 2001. The ~~Company's~~Company’s financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis with the ~~Predecessor's~~Predecessor’s historical operating unit financial statements, prior to the date of Merger. Different bases of accounting have been used to prepare the Company and Predecessor financial statements. The primary differences relate to the 10% yield on preferred units, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and other intangible assets recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, and income taxes which are payable by the ~~Company's~~Company’s unit holders.
The fair value contributed by Michael Foods to ~~the Company~~M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC was ~~$10,000,000~~$8,950,000 and this amount, plus an additional carryover basis of ~~$3,603,000~~$3,928,000, was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values at April 1, 2001. In addition, $118,750 was contributed by new investors in exchange for Class B - non voting common units. The fair values of long-term assets was obtained from a ~~preliminary~~ valuation report issued by a third party appraisal firm. The allocations were as follows: Working capital $6,968,000 Property, plant & equipment 9,971,000 Other assets, including goodwill 1,583,000 Other liabilities 4,800,000

Adoption of New Accounting Policies
Goodwill and Intangible Assets:
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, “Business Combinations”, and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and had no acquisitions between July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002.
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, the Company’s accounting policies for goodwill and intangible assets changed effective January 1, 2002 as described below:
Goodwill:
The Company recognizes the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. The Company had no goodwill as of March 31, 2002 or December 31, 2001. If goodwill is acquired in the future, it will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever there is an impairment indicated. Impairment losses will be recognized whenever the implied fair value is less than the carrying value of the related asset.
Other Intangibles:
The Company recognizes an acquired intangible apart from goodwill whenever the asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever it is capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. An intangible other than goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful life unless that life is determined to be indefinite. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Acquired intangible assets of the Company that have been determined to have a definite life and continue to be amortized as of March 31, 2002 are as follows:

Potato Products Division net sales for the 2001 period reflected unit sales increases in all product categories. Sales were particularly strong for retail items. New account activity, same-account sales growth and higher marketing spending levels all contributed to the sales gain. The operating profit decrease in the 2001 period reflected increased marketing spending and the impact of incremental depreciation and amortization related to the Merger completed in April 2001. The decrease in our gross profit margin for the period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the results of the 2000 period, reflected the factors discussed above, particularly increased raw material costs, which were not able to be fully recovered within the Egg Products and Refrigerated Distribution segments. It is our strategy to increase value-added product sales as a percent of total sales over time, while decreasing commodity-sensitive products' contribution to consolidated sales. These efforts historically have been beneficial to gross profit margins in most periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of sales in the period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the results of the 2000 period. This increased expense ratio reflected the impact of incremental amortization related to the Merger completed in April 2001. Without such Merger effects, operating expenses would have been a comparable percentage of net sales between periods. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Readers are directed to Note G - Business Segments for data on the unaudited financial results of the Company's and the Predecessor's four business segments and must combine three month periods to evaluate the six months ended June 30, 2001 with six months ended June 30, 2000. Net sales for the Company and the Predecessor in the 2001 period were $570,736,000, an increase of 10% compared to the Predecessor's net sales of $518,542,000 in the 2000 period. Net sales increased because of the factors discussed in the below divisional reviews, but were higher in the 2001 period due largely to strong unit sales growth in three divisions and inflationary impacts in two divisions. 40 Egg Products Division net sales for the 2001 period reflected higher unit sales and price increases for certain egg products. Unit sales rose for most product categories, though dried products showed a moderate decline. Graded shell egg prices increased approximately 10% compared to first half 2000 levels, as reported by Urner Barry. Related egg market increases raised the cost of purchased eggs during a period where prices for industrial egg products were generally weak. Approximately two-thirds of the Division's annual egg needs are purchased under contracts, or in the spot market. A substantial majority of these eggs are priced according to the cost of grain inputs or to egg market prices as reported by Urner Barry. Approximately one-third of annual egg needs are sourced from internal flocks, where feed costs typically represent roughly two-thirds of the cost of producing such eggs. Feed costs were higher in the 2001 period, compared to the 2000 period, due mainly to higher prices for soybean meal. Increased egg costs, for both internally and externally procured eggs, in the 2001 period as compared to the 2000 period, were generally not met with comparable price changes in egg products prices, creating margin pressure for certain egg products. Also contributing to the divisional operating profit decline was the impact of incremental depreciation and amortization related to the Merger completed in April 2001. Refrigerated Distribution Division net sales for the 2001 period reflected unit sales increases for several product lines, with cheese, bagels, potato products and ethnic items showing particular strength. Unit sales growth resulted primarily from new customers gained over the past year, as the Crystal Farms brand continues to expand beyond its traditionally Midwestern core business base. Margins declined in the key cheese category and for butter items, in both cases as a result of product costs rising more rapidly than the Division's selling prices. Dairy ingredient costs, particularly for butterfat, rose sharply in the first half of 2001. These impacts decreased divisional operating profit margins and dollars compared to strong 2000 levels when the relationship between product costs and retail pricing was more favorable. Dairy Products Division net sales for the 2001 period reflected higher unit sales due to strong creamer, and specialty cartoned, products sales. Further, sales of the division's main product line, UHT dairy mixes, rose on a unit basis. Inflationary impacts from a year-over-year rise in the national dairy ingredient markets added to dollar sales growth. The divisional operating profit margin increased as a result of the strong volume growth, an improved sales mix, and more efficient plant operations.

Separate from selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2001 period, the Predecessor recorded non-recurring expenses related to the Merger for financial, legal, advisory and regulatory filing fees. These expenses of ~~$11,050,000~~approximately $11.1 million are reflected in the ~~Predecessor~~Predecessor’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings as transaction expenses.
GENERAL
Certain of our products are sensitive to changes in commodity prices. Value-added egg products, such as extended shelf-life liquid and precooked products, account for approximately 60% of the Egg Products ~~Division's~~Division’s net sales. The remainder of Egg Products Division sales is derived from the sale of other egg products and shell eggs, which vary from being very commodity-sensitive to somewhat value-added. Gross profit from shell eggs is primarily dependent upon the relationship between shell egg prices and the cost of feed, both of which can fluctuate significantly. Graded shell egg pricing in the ~~2001~~2002 period was approximately ~~10% above 2000~~5% below 2001 levels, as measured by a widely quoted
35

pricing service, ~~and~~while feed costs ~~also~~ rose slightly year-over-year. Gross profit margins for extended shelf-life liquid eggs, egg substitutes, and precooked and hardcooked egg products are less sensitive to commodity price fluctuations than are other egg products or shell eggs. Our Refrigerated Distribution Division derives approximately 75% of its net sales from refrigerated products produced by others, thereby reducing the effects of commodity price swings. The balance of refrigerated distribution sales are mainly from shell eggs, some of which are produced by the Egg Products Division, sold on a distribution, or non-commodity, basis.
The Dairy Products Division sells its products primarily on a cost-plus basis and, therefore, the ~~Division's~~Division’s earnings are not typically affected greatly by raw ingredient price fluctuations, except over short time periods.
The Potato Products Division typically purchases 75%-95% of its raw potatoes from contract producers under annual contracts. The remainder is purchased at market prices to satisfy short-term production requirements or to take advantage of market prices when they are lower than contracted prices. Moderate variations in the purchase price of raw materials or the selling price per pound of finished products can have a significant effect on Potato Products Division operating results.
Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on ~~the Company's~~our business. ~~The Company~~We have generally ~~has~~ been able to offset the impact of inflation through a combination of productivity gains and price increases.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Acquisitions and capital expenditures have been, and will likely continue to be, a significant capital requirement. We plan to continue to invest in state-of-the-art production facilities to enhance our competitive position. Historically, we have financed our growth principally from internally generated funds, bank borrowings, and the issuance of senior debt. We believe such sources remain viable financing alternatives to meet our anticipated needs. 42 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED ================================================================================ CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY, CONT.
We invested ~~approximately $6,300,000~~$6,878,000 in capital expenditures during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2001.~~March 31, 2002. The Predecessor invested ~~approximately $10,800,000~~$10,837,000 in capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2001. ~~On a combined basis, we~~We plan to spend approximately ~~$43,000,000~~$42,000,000 on capital expenditures in ~~2001,~~2002, the majority of which is to expand or update production capacity for value-added products.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ~~("EBITDA"~~(“EBITDA”) in the ~~three month 2001~~2002 period were ~~$37,033,000,~~$35,845,000, an increase of 4%13% compared to the ~~Predecessor's~~Predecessor’s EBITDA of ~~$35,755,000~~$31,745,000 in the ~~three month 2000 period. EBITDA for the Company and the Predecessor in the six month~~ 2001 ~~period was $68,777,000, an increase of 3% compared to the Predecessor's EBITDA of $66,907,000 in the six month 2000~~ period. EBITDA increased because of the factors discussed in the above results of operations divisional reviews. Our management believes that EBITDA is a relevant measurement of ~~the Company's~~our financial results, as it is indicative of the relative strength of ~~the Company's~~our cash flows and is a key measurement contained in the financial
36

covenants of our senior indebtedness. In addition, as a highly leveraged company, the holders of ~~the Company's~~our debt have a significant interest in our cash flows. We compute EBITDA as it is defined in our senior credit agreement (see Exhibit 10.1 of our Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2001). This definition may not be comparable to that used by other companies reporting similar financial information.
We believe EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator used to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
We have a senior secured credit ~~facilities in the amount of $470,000,000~~facility with numerous banks, other financial institutions and investment groups, which ~~includes a $100,000,000 line~~totaled $470,000,000 at the time of ~~credit expiring in 2007.~~the Merger. At ~~June 30, 2001,~~March 31, 2002, there were no borrowings under the $100,000,000 line of ~~credit.~~ credit portion of this facility, while the term A portion therein approximated $84,200,000 and the term B portion approximated $253,800,000.
The senior credit facility contains various restrictive covenants. It prohibits us from prepaying other indebtedness, including the notes, and it requires us to maintain specified financial ratios, such as a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA, and satisfy financial condition tests. In addition, the senior credit facility prohibits us from declaring or paying any dividends and prohibits us from making any payments with respect to the notes if we fail to perform our obligations under, or fail to meet the conditions of, the senior credit facility or if payment ~~create~~creates a default under the senior credit facility.
The indenture governing the notes, among other things, (a) restricts the ability of the issuer and its subsidiaries, including the guarantors of the notes, to incur additional indebtedness, issue shares of preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (b) prohibits certain restrictions on the ability of certain of the ~~issuer's~~issuer’s subsidiaries, including the guarantors of the notes, to pay dividends or make certain payments to the issuer and (c) places restrictions on the ability of the issuer and its subsidiaries, including the guarantors of the notes, to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer,lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the issuer. The indenture related to these notes and the senior credit facility also contain various covenants which limit our discretion in the operation of our businesses.
Our principal sources of funds are anticipated to be cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our senior credit facility. We believe that these funds will provide us with sufficient liquidity and
37

capital resources for us to meet our current and future financial obligations, as well as to provide funds for our working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for at least the next 12 months. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case. We may require additional equity or debt financing to meet our working capital requirements or to fund our acquisition activities, if any. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when required or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to us.
SEASONALITY
Consolidated quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of ~~the Company's~~our net sales and operating profits. Specifically, shell egg prices typically rise seasonally in the first and fourth quarters of the year due to increased demand during holiday periods. Generally, refrigerated distribution operations experience higher net sales and operating profits in the fourth quarter, coinciding with incremental consumer demand during the holiday season. Net sales and operating profits from dairy operations typically are significantly higher in the second and third quarters due to increased consumption of ice milk and ice cream products during the summer months. Operating profits from potato products are less seasonal, but tend to be higher in the second half of the year coinciding with the potato harvest.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain items in this Form 10-Q may be forward-looking statements, which are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including variances in the demand for ~~the Company's~~our products due to consumer developments and industry developments, as well as variances in the costs to produce such products, including normal volatility in egg, feed and ~~feed~~dairy ingredients costs. Our actual financial results could differ materially from the results estimated by, forecasted by, or implied by us in such forward-looking statements.
