NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Northland Cranberries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the Company, considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2005 and August 31, 2004, its related results of operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004 and its cash flows for the six months ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004. As permitted by these regulations, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to be included in an annual set of financial statements, however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2004 was derived from the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial statements. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the latest audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004.

  Business Risks — Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. (“Ocean Spray”), the industry leader, which controls the bulk of the cranberry supply in North America, effectively determines prices paid to growers for raw cranberries. In addition, the Company is obligated during the next ten years to sell to Ocean Spray all cranberry concentrate not otherwise sold by the Company to Apple & Eve, LLC (“Apple & Eve”) for use in its Northland branded juice business for a purchase price equal to the average price of concentrate sold by Ocean Spray to third party buyers during the prior six month period (see Notes 3 and 4).

  Net Income Per Common Share – Net income per common share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of potential dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method.

  The weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating net income per common share for the three and six months ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004 consisted of the following:
