NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE A -–  2001 MERGER AGREEMENT

 

On April 10, 2001, Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Michael Foods”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was acquired in a transaction (the “Merger”) led by an investor group comprised of a management group led by Michael Foods’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Ostrander,Ostrander; affiliates of Jeffrey Michael, a member of the Predecessor’s Boardboard of Directors,directors; and affiliates of two private equity investment firms, Vestar Capital Partners and Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Incorporated, (collectively, “M-Foods Investors, LLC”). Michael Foods, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Investors, 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 approximately 6.8% as of September 30, 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”) 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, we contributed the assets of our Dairy divisionProducts Division into two limited liability corporations,companies, M-Foods Dairy, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (collectively, the “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 werewas approximately $35,800,000. The preferred units issued to us by the Dairy LLCs have an annual 10% preferred return guarantee and represent 100% of the preferred units issued and outstanding. In addition, 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, another entity 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 non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  See also Note D.

 

The 2001 Merger was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16, Business Combinations and EITFEmerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout 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. Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis with the 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.

For accounting purposes, the Merger was 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 of $66,631,000. These allocations were based on a valuation by a third party appraisal firm. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

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, 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 our consolidated balance sheet.

The following unaudited pro forma net sales and net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are derived from the application of pro forma adjustments to the Predecessor’s historical statement of earnings, and assumes the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2001.  The pro forma net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are also adjusted for goodwill amortization determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 (see Note D).  The net sales and net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 represent actual results for the period.

NOTE B – ASSET PURCHASE

On August 26, 2002, we acquired the egg products assets of Canadian Inovatech Inc. for approximately $18,000,000.  We also entered into long-term leases for two plants operated by the seller.  This entity’s results of operations have been included in our operating results since the date of the asset purchase.  Also, as a result of this asset purchase, we now own 67%, rather than 33%, of a Canadian egg product’s joint venture — Trilogy Egg Products, Inc.  Hence, Trilogy became a consolidated entity under our financial reporting as of the date of the asset purchase.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of earnings information has been prepared assuming the asset purchase and the merger transaction described in Note A had occurred on January 1, 2002 and 2001:

NOTE D – ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141, Business Combinations, and(SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” which provides accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets.  SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.  SFAS 142No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after DecemberJune 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.  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. 141 and SFAS No. 142, our accounting policies for goodwill and intangible assets changedwas adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2002 as described below:

Goodwill and 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 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 are 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 half of 2002, we completed the transitional impairment tests of goodwill and intangibles with no impairment indicated at January 1, 2002.

Our carrying amounts, net of accumulated amortization, for goodwill as of September 30, 2002 was $345,746,000 and at December 31, 2001 was $341,021,000.  Each segment’s share of this goodwill at these dates was as follows:

The carrying amounts, net of accumulated amortization, for other indefinite-lived intangible assets (trademarks) as of September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001 were $13,406,000. The Predecessor had no indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Other New Pronouncements:

On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.2003.  The adoption of SFAS 144No. 143 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In addition, we adoptedJune 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.”  SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred.  Prior to the adoption of this standard, a liability for an exit cost, as defined by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), was recognized at the date of Considerationan entity’s commitment to a Reselleran exit plan. SFAS No. 146 was effective for the Company for exit plans or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 146, which had no impact on our financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation elaborates on the Vendors Products,disclosure requirements in the financial statements concerning obligations under certain guarantees. It also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of liabilities by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation were effective January 1,for us on December 31, 2002.  The adoption of EITF Issue 00-25this standard did not impact our financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46).  This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that possess certain characteristics. FIN 46 requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We do not have ownership in any variable interest entities and will apply the consolidation requirements of FIN 46 in future periods should an interest in a variable interest entity be acquired.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.  We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 149 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.”  The statement requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as a liability.  Many of those instruments were classified as equity under previous guidance.  SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.  Otherwise, it is effective on July 1, 2003.  We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In addition,position or results of operations.

NOTE C – ASSET PURCHASE

On August 26, 2002, we adopted EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accountingacquired the egg products assets of Canadian Inovatech Inc. for Consideration givenapproximately $18.0 million.  The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the acquisition date as determined by a Vendor to a Customer (including a Resellerthird party appraisal firm.  The allocation of the Vendor's Products)purchase price resulted in goodwill of $4.8 million.  We also entered into long-term leases for two plants operated by the seller.  This entity’s results of operations have been included in our operating results since the date of the asset purchase.  Also, as a result of this asset purchase, we now own 67%, effective rather than 33%, of a Canadian egg products joint venture, Trilogy Egg Products, Inc.  Hence, Trilogy became a consolidated entity under our financial reporting as of the date of the asset purchase.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of earnings information has been prepared assuming the asset purchase had occurred on January 1, 2002.    The adoptionnet sales and earnings before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2003 represent actual results for the period (dollars in thousands):

NOTE D – OPERATING SEGMENT HELD FOR SALE

In May 2003, we signed a letter of intent for the sale of our dairy products division operating segment to Dean Foods Company.  The dairy products division is substantially made up of the assets of M-Foods Dairy, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC.  The dairy products division processes and sells ice milk and ice cream mixes, creamers, milk and specialty dairy products.  The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2003.  Completion of the transaction is dependent upon several items, including completion of due diligence, execution of a securities purchase agreement, approval by both companies’ Boards of Directors, and regulatory approval.  As a part of the transaction, we may be compensated for certain transition services expected to be provided to the buyer for a period currently anticipated to be 12 to 18 months after the close of the transaction.  These transition services will include services such as information technology, sales, customer service and procurement.  By providing these transition services, we will be deemed to have “significant continuing involvement” in the dairy products division operating segment.  Therefore, we have determined that the sale, as currently contemplated, would not meet the accounting criteria for “discontinued operations”, but does meet the accounting criteria for classification as “held for sale.”  Accordingly, the related assets and liabilities of the dairy products division operating segment have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.been classified as current assets and liabilities held for sale at June 30, 2003.  The operations of the dairy products division operating segment continue to be included in the earnings statement of the Company.

External net sales and earnings from the dairy products division operating segment held for sale as of June 30, 2003 were as follows:

NOTE F – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Potato Procurement Contract

We have a contract to purchase potatoes which expires in 2004 and which will supply approximately 45% and 40% of the Potato Products Division’s raw material needs in 2003 and 2004, respectively, at an approximate cost of $5.3 million each year.

Egg Procurement Contracts

We maintain egg procurement contracts with numerous cooperatives and egg producers throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States and Canada which supply approximately 55%50% of our egg requirements.  TheseMost of these contracts vary in length from 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.  Based upon the best estimates available to us for grain and egg prices, we project that our purchases from our top five long-term contracted egg suppliers will approximate $141 million in 2003, $138 million in 2004, $82 million in 2005, $20 million in 2006, and $16 million in 2007, and that the 2003 amount will account for approximately 60% of our contracted egg purchases this year.

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 applyoffset 50% of our costs of defending the patents against royalty payments due to future royalty payments.

the patent holder - North Carolina State University.   The U.S. Federal Court of Appeals has upheld the validity of the patents on two separate occasions.  In September 2000, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office allowed product claims beyond the process claims previously allowed for the extended shelf-life egg product. These patents are scheduled to expire beginning in 2006.

 

In 2000, the Predecessorlitigation was settled litigation with one party related to the infringement of these patents and issued a sub-license was issued to the infringing party granting them the right to manufacture and distribute extended shelf-life liquid whole egg product subject to royaltiesa 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 are continuing to pursue litigation related to other parties who we believe are infringing the product and process patents, including Sunny Fresh Foods, Inc., a subsidiary of Cargill, Inc.  The patent infringement trial with Sunny Fresh Foods, Inc. commenced with a jury on June 30, 2003 and is expected to continue into the third quarter of 2003.

 

Other Litigation

We are engaged in routine litigation incidental to our business. We believe the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Other Matter

As of June 30, 2003, we have an approximate $4 million investment recorded for Belovo S.A. (Belovo), a Belgium egg products company, which represents our approximate 36% interest accounted for under the equity method.  Belovo recently notified the Belgium government of a potential finished products inventory matter and is currently working with the Belgium government to address the situation. The potential loss, if any, related to this matter has not yet been determined.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITEDUnaudited

 

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS ANDA—2001 MERGER

 

Organization

M-Foods Dairy, LLC (the “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 — MN (the “Predecessor,” “Operating Unit” or the “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 M-Foods Dairy, LLC are more fully described below.

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 facility in Minnesota.

Merger

On April 10, 2001, Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Michael Foods”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was acquired in a transaction (the “Merger”) led by an investor group comprised of a management group led by Michael Foods’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Ostrander,Ostrander; affiliates of Jeffrey Michael, a member of the Predecessor Boardboard of Directors,directors; and affiliates of two private equity investment firms, Vestar Capital Partners and Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Incorporated, collectively,(collectively, “M-Foods Investors, LLC”). Michael Foods, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Investors, LLC. Under the terms of the Merger agreement, all outstanding shares of Michael Foods com­moncommon 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 outstand­ingoutstanding 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 approximately 6.8% as of September 30, 2002), and $200,000,000 of senior subordinated notes at an 11.75% annual inter­estinterest rate. As a result of the Merger, the stock of pre-merger Michael Foods (“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, Michael Foodswe contributed the assets of itsour Dairy divisionProducts Division into two limited liability corporations,companies, M-Foods Dairy, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (collectively, the “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 $35,800,000 (the approximate fair value contributed to M-Foods Dairy, LLC was $26,850,000).approximately $35,800,000. The preferred units issued to Michael Foodsus by the Dairy LLCs have an annual 10% preferred return guarantee and represent 100% of the preferred units issued and outstanding. In addition, Michael Foodswe received 5% of the common units issued by each of the Dairy LLCs, with the common units held by Michael Foodsthe 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, another entity 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 interestinterests owned by M-Foods Dairy Holdings, LLC was purchasedwere issued in exchange for $475,000 and are reflected as of April 1, 2001.

Followingnon-controlling interest in the Merger, Michael Foods, Inc. became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Investors, LLC and M-Foods Dairy LLC became a majority owned subsidiary of Michael Foods, Inc.accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  See also Note D.

 

The 2001 Merger was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16, Business Combinations and EITFEmerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transac­tionsTransactions. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities werehave 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 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.

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 financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis with the 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 unit holders.

25



The fair value contributed by Michael Foods to M-Foods Dairy, LLC was $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 valuation report issued by a third party appraisal firm.  The allocations were as follows:

Working capital

 

$

10,426,000

 

Property, plant & equipment

 

15,135,000

 

Other assets, including goodwill

 

3,962,000

 

The following unaudited pro forma net sales and net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 include results for the three months ended March 31, 2001, which were derived from the application of pro forma adjustments to the Predecessor’s historical statement of earnings, and assumes the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2001.  The pro forma net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are also adjusted for goodwill amortization determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 (see Note B).  The net sales and net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 represent actual results for the period.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and footnote information of the Company as of and for the six month period ended September 30, 2001 and the three and ninesix month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003 and 2002 have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC using the adjusted cost basis of assets and liabilities of the Company.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.  TheFor the period ended June 30, 2003, the Operating Unit’s financial statements include an allocation for general and administrative costs of approximately $1,266 incurred by Michael Foods.  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 as a stand-alone entity.  The historical results of the Company and Predecessor for the periods indicated are not necessarily indicative of the results ofexpected for the Company for a full year.

NOTE D – 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.  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 is less than the carrying value of the related asset.  Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized over 40 years.  Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company completed the transitional impairment test of goodwill with no impairment indicated at January 1, 2002.

The Company’s carrying amount, net of accumulated amortization, for goodwill as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $1,763,000.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net earnings, as reported in the financial statements, to those amounts adjusted for goodwill as determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142:

Other New Pronouncements

On January 1, 2002, the Company 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 the Company’s financial statements.

In addition, the Company 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 the Company’s financial statements.  In addition, we adopted EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration given by a Vendor to a Customer (including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products), effective January 1, 2002The adoption of EITF Issue No. 01-09 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE E — SETTLEMENT OF RECALL INSURANCE CLAIM

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Unit settled its insurance claim related to a product recall, which occurred in early 1999.  The settlement reimbursed the Unit for recall related costs incurred, as well as a partial reimbursement for lost business as a result of the recall.

NOTE F — INCOME TAXES

 

Predecessor

The activity of the Operating Unit has been included in the income tax return of Michael Foods, Inc. for financial reporting purposes.  The Unit has been allocated a provision for income taxes in an amount generally equivalent to the provision that would have resulted had the Unit filed a separate income tax return.

Company

For income tax purposes, the Company is a pass-through entity.  Therefore,limited liability company and, accordingly, no provision or liability for U.S. income taxes have not beenis reflected onin the Company’s financial statements.  The U.S. taxable income of the Company and related deductions are allocated to and reported in the individual income tax returns of the owners of the Company.

27



 

NOTE G — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

��

On April 10, 2001, Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Michael Foods”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was acquired in a transaction (the “Merger”) led by an investor group comprised of a management group led by Michael Foods’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Ostrander,Ostrander; affiliates of Jeffrey Michael, a member of the Predecessor Boardboard of Directors,directors; and affiliates of two private equity investment firms, Vestar Capital Partners and Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Incorporated, collectively,(collectively, “M-Foods Investors, LLC”). Michael Foods, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Investors, LLC. Under the terms of the Merger agreement, all outstanding shares of Michael Foods com­moncommon 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 outstand­ingoutstanding 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 approximately 6.8% as of September 30, 2002), and $200,000,000 of senior subordinated notes at an 11.75% annual inter­estinterest rate. As a result of the Merger, the stock of pre-merger Michael Foods (“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, Michael Foodswe contributed the assets of itsour Dairy divisionProducts Division into two limited liability corporations,companies, M-Foods Dairy, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC (collectively, the “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 $35,800,000 (the approximate fair value contributed to M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC was $8,950,000).approximately $35,800,000. The preferred units issued to Michael Foodsus by the Dairy LLCs have an annual 10% preferred return guarantee and represent 100% of the preferred units issued and outstanding. In addition, Michael Foodswe received 5% of the common units issued by each of the Dairy LLCs, with the common units held by Michael Foodsthe 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, another entity 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.

Following the Merger, Michael Foods, Inc. became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of M-Foods Investors, LLC and M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC became a majority owned subsidiary of Michael Foods, Inc.

The 2001 Merger was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 16, Business Combinations and EITFEmerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transac­tionsTransactions. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities werehave 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 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 fair market value by $12,673,000.  This resulted in an allocation of carryover basis in excesswas reflected as a deemed dividend of the fair market value of the Company in the amount of $3,928,000.$66,631,000.

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 financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis with the 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 unit

holders.

The fair value contributed by Michael Foods to M-Foods Dairy TXCT, LLC was $8,950,000 and this amount, plus an additional carryover basis of $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 were obtained from a valuation report issued by a third party appraisal firm.  The allocations were as follows:

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 September 30, 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 anOur acquired intangible apart from goodwill whenever thenon-compete 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 havehas been determined to have a definite life and continuecontinues to be amortized as of SeptemberJune 30, 2002 are2003 is as follows:follows (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

GENERAL

Michael Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a diversified producer and distributor of food products in four areas - egg products, refrigerated distribution, dairy products, and potato products. We believe, through our Egg Products Division, we are the largest producer of processed egg products in North America. The Refrigerated Distribution Division distributes a broad line of refrigerated grocery products to retail grocery outlets, including cheese, shell eggs, bagels, butter, margarine, muffins, potato products, juice and ethnic foods.  The Dairy Products Division processes and distributes soft-serve mix, ice cream mix, and extended shelf-life ultrapasteurized milk, creamers and other specialty dairy products to domestic quick service businesses and other foodservice outlets, ice cream manufacturers and others.  We have an agreement to sell the Dairy Products Division and we expect the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2003 (see Note D to the financial statements).  The Potato Products Division processes and distributes refrigerated potato products sold to the foodservice and retail grocery markets in the United States. Please see Note H to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our business segments.

Our strategy is to grow value-added food product sales, primarily in the foodservice market, by focusing on developing, marketing and distributing innovative, refrigerated products. The key to this strategy is “value-added”, whether that is in the product, the distribution channel or in the service provided to customers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Readers are directed to Note H - Business Segments for data on the unaudited financial results of our four business segments for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20022003 and SeptemberJune 30, 2001.2002.

 

Net sales for the 20022003 period were $293,954,000, a decrease$323.9 million, an increase of 2%12%, compared to net sales of $299,225,000$289.8 million in the 2001 period. 2002 periodNet sales decreasedincreased because of the factors discussed in the below divisional reviews, but were lowerhigher in the 20022003 period due largely to deflationary impacts in two divisions, lowersignificant sales growth at our largest division, Egg Products, which saw strong unit sales growth and the positive impact of the Canadian company acquired in another division, and intentionally lower Company-wide shell egg unit sales.2002.

 

Egg Products Division external net sales for the 2003 period increased $27.3 million, or 17%, to $189.2 millionfrom $161.9 million in the 2002 periodperiod.  Net sales reflected slightly decreased coreincreased unit sales from core operations, related to increased sales efforts which were offset byincreased market penetration, and the sales impact of an egg products acquisition (see Note B)C to the financial statements). TwoUnit sales rose in all categories, except for frozen items and shell eggs.  Frozen product sales declined due to our decision to not pursue unprofitable sales and shell egg units declined as part of our largest categories, extended shelf-life liquid eggs and precooked items, saw uniton-going plan to reduce this commodity-sensitive business over time.  Unit sales decline slightly, reflecting generally soft foodservice sales. Egg substitutes, hard cooked items and frozen eggs all experienced unit sales increases, though such gains did not offset the declines elsewhere. Pricingrose 9% for our egg products was slightly lower than 2001 period levels.higher value-added items.  Graded shell egg prices increased approximately 10%24% compared to thirdsecond quarter 20012002 levels, as reported by Urner Barry Publications - - a widely quoted industry pricing service.  Related egg market increases raised the cost of purchased eggs, moderately.which was not fully reflected in our selling prices, reducing margins for many of our egg products.

 

Approximately two-thirds of the Egg Products 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 moderately higher in the 20022003 period compared to the 20012002 period, particularly for corn.corn, which increased by roughly one-fourth.  Because of higher open market egg pricescosts and higher feed costs, overall egg costs increased moderatelysignificantly in the 20022003 period as compared to the 20012002 period.  Despite these factors, production efficiencies and cost controls held egg products margins close to 2001Operating earnings for the 2003 period levels.  Also, improvements were seen with industrial products collectively, which had been experiencing weak margins and, at times, losses, but which showedincluded a margin recoverygain of approximately $1.6 million from a partial settlement of litigation.  Overall, the Division’s operating earnings decreased by approximately $0.6 million in the 20022003 period. In total, divisional operating earnings increased slightly in the 2002 period, with a contribution from the acquired business.

 

Refrigerated Distribution Division external net sales for the 2003 period increased $6.7 million, or 12%, to $63.9 million from $57.2 million in the 2002 period. Net sales reflected significantly higher unit sales for distributed products and slightly lower prices, related to market conditions, for the key product categories of cheese and butter. Also, both unit sales and average selling prices rose for shell

eggs. The shift of the important Easter selling period reflected lower unit sales.  However, excludingfrom 2002’s first quarter to 2003’s second quarter accounted for some of the intentional declineimprovement in both distributed products sales and shell egg sales, unit sales rose slightly for distributed products. Deflation was also a factor inparticularly the divisional dollar sales decline, with butter prices, in particular, down sharply (approximately 50%) from 2001 period levels. Despite lower dollar sales, divisionallatter. Divisional operating earnings rose sharply from depressed 2001 levels,increased by approximately $2.2 million, with the important cheese category accounting for much of the improvement. Cheese unit sales rose year-over-year, while a decline in product costs, combined with favorable wholesale price points, allowed for improved gross margin and operating profit, margins.earnings expansion. Also, we increased the allowance for doubtful accounts in the 2003 period by approximately $1.4 million in recognition of the bankruptcy filing by a major customer.

Dairy Products Division external net sales for the 2003 period decreased $0.8 million, or 2%, to $52.3 million from $53.1 million in the 2002 period.  Net sales reflected slightly lower unit sales, reflecting lower cartoned product sales that were not fully offset by unit sales gain from creamers. Selling prices during the 2003 period modestly exceeded 2002 period reflected higher unit sales, due mainlylevels.  Ingredient and production costs compared favorably to strong creamer and ice cream mix product sales, which were more than offsetthose experienced in 2002.  This caused operating earnings to increase by deflationary impacts from the national butterfat market. Along with the lower divisional sales, operating costs were higher than expected at one of our three dairy plants, which resulted in reduced margins and earnings for the division. Operating cost matters are being addressed, with improvements expectedapproximately $1.0 million in the current quarter and thereafter.2003 period.

 

Potato Products Division external net sales for the 2003 period increased $1.0 million, or 6%, to $18.5 million from $17.5 million in the 2002 periodperiod.  Net sales reflected unit salesmodest increases in all product categories.both volume and selling prices.  Sales were particularly strong for mashed items both at retail and at foodservice. Mashed unit sales, in total, rose over 20% year-over-year. New account activity, same-account sales growth, expanded distribution and higher marketing spending levels all contributed to the sales gain.  The operatingOperating earnings for the 2003 period decreased approximately $0.2 million due to lower processing yields, which resulted from a lower quality 2002 potato harvest, and increased sales and marketing spending related to raising customer awareness of our mashed potato products.

Gross profit increase reflected the sales growth, improved operating costs and a recovery of foodservice category earnings from near break-even levels in the 20012003 period increased$3.2 million, or 6%, to meaningful profitability$57.4 million from $54.2 million in the 2002 period.

  Our gross profit margin was 17.7% of net sales in the 2003 period compared to 18.7% in the 2002 period.  The strong increasedecrease in our gross profit margin for the 20022003 period compared to the 20012002 period reflected the factors discussed above, particularly sales mix improvements, decreasedincreased raw material costs in certain divisionsthe Egg Products and generally improved operating costs.Potato Products divisions. 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 declined slightly as a percentin the 2003 period increased $1.1 million, or 4%, to $30.9 million from $29.8 million in the 2002 period and reflected the partial litigation settlement gain  noted above.Such expenses were 9.5% of net sales in the 2003 period compared to 10.3% of net sales in the 2002 period, as compared to the resultsand were reflective of the 2001 period, reflective ofrelatively strong sales growth we achieved, our cost control efforts across all divisions.divisions and the approximate $1.6 million litigation gain.

 

37Operating profit in the 2003 period increased $2.1 million, or 9%, to $26.5 from $24.4 million in the 2002 period., with approximately $1.6 million of the increase related to the litigation settlement.  Our operating profit margin was 8.2% of net sales in the 2003 period compared to 8.4% in the 2002 period.  The decline in gross profit margin more than offset the improvements seen in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2003 period, resulting in the lower operating profit margin.



 

NINEInterest expense declined slightly in the 2003 period, reflecting lower debt levels and lower short-term interest rates.  Our tax rate declined to 38.5% from 39.3% due to higher income levels and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

Approximately two-thirds of the Egg Products 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 moderately higher in the 20022003 period compared to the 20012002 period, due mainly toparticularly for corn, which increased by nearly 30%.

However, shell egg average selling prices rose significantly, reflecting market conditions. Divisional operating earnings increased by approximately $4.3 million, with the important cheese category accounting for much of the improvement. Cheese unit sales rose year-over-year, while a decline in product costs, combined with favorable wholesale price points, allowed for gross margin and operating earnings improvements. Also, we increased the allowance for doubtful accounts in the key cheese category. Unit sales were down due to several factors, including a national trend whereby private label cheeses are taking market share from branded cheeses, generally weak retail grocery sales, and store closures2003 period by certain grocery chains served by the Division. Cheese pricing increased year-over-year, but our cheese sourcing costs rose more rapidly than did our selling prices during the first half of 2002.  This was largely due to hedging activities that resultedapproximately $1.7 million in significant cheese ownership at above-market levels. During the third quarterrecognition of the current year, such excess hedging no longer existed and cheese margins recovered significantly. This improvement was sufficient to increase divisional operating earnings and margins for the 2002 nine month period, as compared to 2001 period levels.bankruptcy filing by a major customer.

Operating profit in the 2003 period increased $2.1 million, or 5%, to $48.0 from $45.9 million in the 2002 period.  All of the increase year-over-year is attributable to the litigation gain.  Our operating profit margin was 7.7% of net sales in the 2003 period compared to the results of the 2001 period. However, within 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 are reflected8.1% in the Predecessor Consolidated Statement of Earnings for2002 period. The decline in gross profit margin more than offset the three months ended March 31, 2001 as transaction expenses. Exclusive of these one-time transaction expenses,improvements seen in selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percent of sales in the 20022003 period, as compared toresulting in the 2001 period. This increased expense ratio reflected higher expenses to support retail and foodservice marketing efforts and broadened sales efforts, and for our centralized purchasing department.lower operating profit margin.

 

38Interest expense declined by approximately $1.0 million in the 2003 period, reflecting lower debt levels and lower short-term interest rates.  Our tax rate declined to 38.5% from 39.3% due to higher income levels and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”, as defined in our credit agreement) for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $77.6 million, an increase of 4%, compared to $74.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. EBITDA increased because of the factors discussed in the above results of operations divisional reviews. We believe that EBITDA is a relevant indication of the strength of our operating performance as measured in terms of operating cash earnings capabilities. We believe it is the key measurement used by our debtholders to assess our operating performance.  Because of this, we use EBITDA as the primary internal measurement of our operating performance and it is the main focus of our employee incentive compensation programs.

GENERALWe 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 nor as an alternative to cash flows as a source of liquidity and is not indicative of operating profit as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. The following table reconciles our net earnings to EBITDA as most commonly defined, and then to EBITDA as we are required to define it per our credit agreement, for the six months ended June 30 (dollars in thousands):

Under our credit agreement we are required to report quarterly on our compliance with three financial covenants, with the calculations based primarily on EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement and done on a trailing twelve month basis.  As of June 30, 2003 our leverage ratio was 2.93:1.00, versus a requirement of less than or equal to 4.50:1.00, our interest coverage ratio was 3.53:1.00, versus a requirement of greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00, and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.91:1.00, versus a requirement of greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00.

COMMODITIES AND PRODUCT PRICING

 

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 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.are commodity-sensitive. 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 2002 nine month2003 period was approximately unchanged from 2001 levels,higher than in the 2002 period as measured by a widely quoted pricing service, whileand feed costs rose moderatelysignificantly year-over-year. Gross profit margins for extended shelf-life liquid eggs, egg substitutes, and precooked and hard cookedhardcooked egg products are less sensitive to commodity price fluctuations than are other egg products or shell eggs. Our Refrigerated Distribution Division derives approximately 75%80% of its net sales from refrigerated products produced by others, thereby somewhat reducing the effects of commodity price swings.  However, a majority of the 80% represents cheese and butter, and the costs for both fluctuate with national dairy markets.  Time lags between cost changes for these lines and wholesale/retail pricing changes can result in margin expansion or compression which can be significant.  The balance of refrigerated distributionRefrigerated 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 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 our business. We have generally 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.

We invested $4,991,000 in capital expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $19,255,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  We plan to spend approximately $10,000,000 on capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in the 2002 nine month period were $113,871,000, an increase of 7% compared to the Company’s and Predecessor’s combined $106,194,000 in the comparable 2001 period. EBITDA increased because of the factors discussed in the above results of operations divisional reviews. We believe that EBITDA is a relevant measurement of our financial results, as it is indicative of the relative strength of our cash flows and is a key measurement contained in the financial covenants of our senior indebtedness. In addition, as a highly leveraged company, the holders of 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 facilityagreement with numerousvarious lenders, including commercial banks, other financial institutions and investment groups, which totaled $470,000,000 at the timeexpires in 2007 and 2008 and provides credit facilities which originally provided $470 million. Within these credit facilities there is a $100 million revolving line of the Merger.credit. At SeptemberJune 30, 2002,2003, there was $10,000,000 borrowedapproximately $6.5 million utilized under the $100,000,000revolving line of credit portionfor letters of this facility,credit, while the outstanding balance of the term A portion thereinof the credit facility approximated $79,400,000$61.0 million and the term B portion approximated $245,600,000.  Subsequent to$203.9 million.  We reduced our debt under the period reported on herein, we made a voluntary prepayment of our term debt (both the term A and B portions)credit agreement by approximately $38.5 million in the combined amountfirst half of $21,900,0002003 through a combination of scheduled payments and voluntary prepayments.  There is also $200 million outstanding on October 1, 2002.our 11 ¾% senior subordinated notes due 2011.

The seniorweighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the credit facilityagreement, adjusted for the effects of hedging activities, was approximately 7.01% at June 30, 2003. Given our business trends and cash flow forecast, we do not anticipate a significant use of the revolving line of credit during 2003.

The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants. ItThe agreement prohibits us from prepaying other indebtedness, including the subordinated 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.ratios.  In addition, the senior credit facilityagreement 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 facilityagreement or if payment creates a default under the senior credit facility.

agreement. The indenture governing the subordinated notes, among other things, (a)things: (i) restricts our ability and the ability of the issuer and itsour 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)affiliates; (ii) prohibits certain restrictions on the ability of certain of the issuer’sour subsidiaries including the guarantors of the notes, to pay dividends or make certain payments to the issuerus; and (c)(iii) places restrictions on our ability and the ability of the issuer and itsour 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.our assets. The indenture related to thesethe notes and the senior credit facilityagreement also containcontains various covenants which limit our discretion in the operation of our businesses. We were in compliance with all of the covenants in the indenture and the credit agreement (see above) as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company, principal shareholders or their affiliates may, from time to time, enter the market to purchase or sell our subordinated notes, in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt, including the subordinated notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate sufficient cash in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. We believe that, based on current levels of operations, we will be able to meet our debt service obligations when due. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that we will continue to be successful in implementing our business strategy and that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the notes, on or before maturity. We can provide no assurances that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of our existing and future indebtedness, including the subordinated notes and our credit agreement, may limit our ability to pursue any of these alternatives.

We invested $16.4 million in capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2003.  We plan to spend approximately $21 million on capital expenditures during the balance of 2003.  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 capital resources for us to meet our current year and future financial obligations, as well as to provide funds for ourlonger-term plans, including the working capital and capital expenditures and otherexpenditure needs for at leastsuch plans may generate.  In executing these plans, we expect to reduce debt over 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.coming years.

 

SEASONALITY

 

Consolidated quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of 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.

ITEM 5.PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

On August 26, 2002, we acquired the egg products assets of Canadian Inovatech Inc.  This entity’s results of operations have been included in our operating results since the date of the asset purchase.  Also, as a result of this asset purchase, we now own 67%, rather than 33%, of a Canadian egg products joint venture Trilogy Egg Products, Inc.  Hence, Trilogy became a consolidated entity under our financial reporting as of the date of the asset purchase.

On September 24, 2002, we announced the retention of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray to assist in the possible sale of our Crystal Farms Refrigerated Distribution Company subsidiary.
