Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Board of Directors
Sturm Foods, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sturm Foods, Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sturm Foods, Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

STURM FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009 and 2008

Sturm Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) is a processor and packager of store brand and branded sugar and sugar free drink mixes, various hot cereal products, non-fat dry milk, hot cocoa mixes and other dry products for distribution throughout the United States and Canada. The manufacturing facilities and corporate office of the Company are located in Manawa, Wisconsin.

The Company’s primary customers are large retail grocery and mass merchant stores. For the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the largest two customers totaled 52% and 57% of net sales. The Company’s top ten customers account for approximately 74% and 77% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In September 2008, the Company acquired the McCann Irish Oatmeal (McCann) product line for $12,920,488, including acquisition costs of $481,802. The Company acquired McCann’s to strengthen the Company’s oatmeal product offering. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 Business Combinations. The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Inventory		$	1,680,086
Tradename			12,490,402
Commission settlement liability			(1,250,000	)
		$	12,920,488

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair market value. The Company maintains its cash balances at one financial institution and is secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

5. Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from regional and national retail customers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of customers’ financial conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents estimates of amounts considered uncollectible and is determined on an account-by-account basis. Payments subsequently received on accounts written off are credited to bad debt expense. Expense for such uncollectible amounts was $24,323 and $1,166 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

6. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory costs include material, labor and factory overhead. The Company has recorded a reserve for obsolete and excess inventories.

Inventories consist of the following at March 31:

		2009				2008
Raw materials		$	8,338,518			$	4,724,113
Work-in-process			10,241,055				8,246,873
Finished goods			16,822,218				14,506,068
Packaging supplies			9,545,228				6,563,200
			44,947,019				34,040,254
Less inventory reserve			(1,031,493	)			(952,688	)
		$	43,915,526			$	33,087,566

7. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements and betterments that substantially increase the value or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized at cost. The Company capitalizes interest expense incurred on long-term construction type projects in accordance with SFAS No. 34 Capitalization of Interest Costs. Interest capitalized approximated $68,000 and $368,000 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. The following estimated lives are used in calculating depreciation:

		Years
Land improvements			15-20
Buildings			15-40
Machinery and equipment (includes equipment under capital lease)			5-15
Office equipment			2-5
Vehicles			3-7

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued

7. Property, Plant and Equipment — continued

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values.

8. Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Intangible assets, which are comprised of tradenames acquired in the McCann acquisition, are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not subject to amortization. SFAS 142 requires that the indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually, or more often if warranted by events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value may exceed its fair value, and written down to fair value if impaired. The Company has determined that no impairment exists as of March 31, 2009.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are financial instruments with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, interest rate swap and long-term debt are financial instruments with carrying values that approximate fair value. Interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

10. Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes fees incurred in connection with securing long-term financing. Amortization of deferred financing costs is provided using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt agreement. Amortization expense for these financing costs for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,220,182.

Future amortization of deferred financing costs at March 31, 2009 are as follows:

Year		Amount
2010		$	1,220,182
2011			1,220,182
2012			1,220,182
2013			1,220,182
2014			1,177,969

11. Accrued Promotion Expenses

Accrued promotion expenses represent discounts, allowances and volume bonuses awarded to customers but not paid as of year end. These programs are most often based on sales volume measured in dollars or pounds and are expensed when products are shipped. Management’s best estimate of the amounts earned which remain unpaid at March 31, 2009 and 2008 are $1,835,535 and $326,329, and are included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. These estimates were based upon all outstanding approved programs, sales volumes by customer during the applicable period and estimated sales volumes for future periods covered by each program. Promotion related expense for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $8,050,504 and $8,748,302, respectively, and was recorded as an offset to net sales.

12. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales incentives and including shipping charges billed to customers, upon shipment to customers which is when risk of loss passes.

13. Classification of Shipping Costs

Shipping costs incurred by the Company are included within cost of sales on the statements of income.

14. Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as the promotions occur. Advertising expense for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $2,079,877 and $4,872,372, respectively. These expenses were classified within selling and marketing expense on the statements of income.

15. Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as they occur. Research and development expense for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,223,586 and $906,645, respectively. These expenses were classified within general and administrative expense on the statements of income.

16. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 109, Accounting for lncome taxes, which required the use of the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rules and laws that are anticipated to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when management determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized

16. Income Taxes — continued

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an lnterpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48, which clarified SFAS 109, established the criterion that an individual tax position has to meet for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 48-3, Effective Date of FA SB Interpretation N0. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises. FSP FIN 48-3 permits an entity within its scope to defer the effective date of FIN 48 to its annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has elected to defer the application of FIN 48 for the year ending March 31, 2009. The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of FASB Statement 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Accordingly, a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized.

17. Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation under SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123(R)), which requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

18. Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income includes net income and net actuarial gains on the post-retirement plan.

19. Fair Value Measurements

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company implemented SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its measurement, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on the measurement of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, but did result in additional disclosures.

In 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”), which provided a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value that are recorded or disclosed on a non-recurring basis. The Company elected to apply the FSP 157-2 deferral, and accordingly, will not apply SFAS 157 to intangibles impairment testing, other long-lived assets, and non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value in business acquisitions, until fiscal 2010. The Company is still evaluating the financial statement impact of the implementation of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities.

19. Fair Value Measurements — continued

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company does not have any Level 1 or 3 financial assets or liabilities. The interest rate swap is a financial liability measured on a recurring basis and is recorded at fair market value using Level 2 inputs as disclosed in Note E.

NOTE C — LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has available a $20,000,000 revolving credit line with a consortium of financial institutions. The line of credit bears interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus an Applicable Margin as defined in the agreement and is due May 26, 2010. No amounts were outstanding under this revolving credit line at March 31, 2009 and 2008.

As of February 2000, the postretirement plan was frozen and no new plan participants are allowed Benefit payments for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $43,875 and $68,951.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88,106 and l32(R) (SFAS 158). Part of SFAS 158 was effective for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 for the Company, and required the Company to recognize the funded status of the plan on the balance sheet on a prospective basis from the effective date. The funded status of the plan is determined as of the plan’s measurement date and represents the difference between the amount of the obligations owed to participants under the plan and the fair value of the plan’s assets dedicated to paying those obligations. To record the funded status of the plan, unrecognized prior service costs and net actuarial gains or losses experienced by the plan will be recorded as other comprehensive income or loss. The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158 effective March 31, 2008.

Effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, SFAS 158 also removes the existing option to use a plan measurement date that is up to 90 days prior to the date of the statement of financial position and will require the plan measurement date to coincide with the Company’s fiscal year end in 2009. The Company already uses a March 31 measurement date.

NOTE I — STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN — Continued

The fair value of each Company option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions in 2009 and 2008.

		2009				2008
Expected term (years)			6.5				6.5
Risk-free interest rate			1.67% - 3.34	%			4.50	%
Expected volatility			36.53% - 43.46	%			26.88	%
Dividend yield			—				—

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period during which the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimated this amount based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the awards, vesting requirements, and expectations of future employee behavior, including post-vesting terminations.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Expected Volatility: The fair value of stock based payments made were valued using a volatility factor based on the similar companies that are publicly traded.

Dividend Yield: The Company has not historically paid any dividends and does not expect to declare or pay dividends in the future.

Estimated Pre-vesting Forfeitures: When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as future workforce reduction programs. Due to the limited granting of the options, the Company believes no pre-vesting forfeitures will occur.

For the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, $964,729 and $98,340, respectively, was expensed under the 2005 Plan. Expense to be recognized in future years under the 2005 Plan at March 31, 2009 is approximately $2,772,000.
