Independent Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors
Dahlgren & Company, Inc. and Subsidiary
Crookston, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dahlgren & Company, Inc. and Subsidiary (a Delaware corporation) as of September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended September 25, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Rolf Ehlers GmbH & Co. KG, a majority owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of $1,016,295 as of September 30, 2009, and total revenues of $6,703,386 and $10,341,703 for the years ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Rolf Ehlers GmbH & Co. KG, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 do not express such an 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.

As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, certain amounts in the previously reported financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used by the Company’s acquirer. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dahlgren & Company, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009 and the results of their operations, comprehensive income and their cash flows for the each of the three years ended September 25, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dahlgren & Company, Inc., and its 75% owned subsidiary, Rolf Ehlers GmbH & Co. KG (Ehlers). All significant intercompany transactions and balances between Dahlgren & Company, Inc., and Ehlers have been eliminated in consolidation. During 2010, the operations of Ehlers wound down and all assets and liabilities have been absorbed by Dahlgren & Co. and Ehlers’ minority owner. Any residual equity from Ehlers was written off against Dahlgren & Co.’s current year earnings (see Note 5).

Organization and Business Activities

Dahlgren & Company, Inc. processes and sells edible sunflower seeds and roasted seed products both domestically and overseas. The Company has operations in Crookston, Minnesota, Ipswich, South Dakota, and Fargo and Grace City, North Dakota. Ehlers is an edible product broker located in Elmshorn, Germany. Ehlers facilitates a portion of the Company’s foreign sales as well as other products for other companies.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year of the Company ends on the Saturday nearest to September 30. Fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 each include 52 weeks and end on September 25, 2010, September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively.

Receivable and Credit Policy

Domestic trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Past due domestic trade receivables are non-interest bearing. Export trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment ranging from 30 to 90 days from the date of ocean bill of lading. Past due export trade receivables are non-interest bearing. Payments on trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. The carrying amount of the trade receivables is reduced by an amount that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.

Grower accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations requiring payment at time of shipment. If payment is not made, a lien is established against crop grown. Beginning July 1 each year, past due grower accounts receivable bear interest at 18% annually.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables. The Company performs ongoing customer credit evaluations and has obtained credit insurance to mitigate such risk.

The Company’s cash balances are maintained in two bank deposit accounts. The deposit accounts may from time to time be in excess of federally insured limits.

Years Ended September 25, 2010, September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008

Revenue Recognition

The Company generally recognizes revenue upon shipment of product.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. This topic requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

  Buildings 15-33 years
  Land improvements 5-10 years
  Plant equipment 7 years

Depreciation expense totaled $1,199,214, $1,370,680 and $1,296,321 for the years ended September 25, 2010, September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of a covenant not to compete relating to the operations of the subsidiary and financing fees incurred to secure the long-term debt. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, the Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Years Ended September 25, 2010, September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of property and equipment and reserves for uncollectible accounts and accrued vacation for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

The Company has adopted provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740-10, on July 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard had no impact on the balance sheet. As of both the date of adoption, and as of September 25, 2010, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero.

The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. The Company is no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007 and state examinations for years before 2007.

Other Comprehensive Income

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income for the years ended September 25, 2010, September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Foreign Currency Translation

For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local foreign currency, balance sheet accounts are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year and income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has determined the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles

Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Topic 820 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.

Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset or liability.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This standard requires the recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and recognition of the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to earnings or other comprehensive income. The Company documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The hedging activities are transacted only with a highly-rated institution, reducing the exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance. The Company uses derivatives for fair value hedging purposes. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate debt, designated as fair value hedges, the effective portion of the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the fixed rate debt attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to convert a portion of floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis and used an interest rate collar agreement to manage interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes, thus hedging for changes in the fair value of the floating rate debt being hedged.

Advertising Costs

Costs incurred for producing and distributing advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $89,160, $115,289 and $92,834 for the years ended September 25, 2010, September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of product sold upon shipment of the Company’s product to its customers.

Sales Taxes

The Company has customers in states and municipalities in which those governmental units impose a sales tax on certain sales. The Company collects those sales taxes from its customers and remits the entire amount to the various governmental units. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from sales and cost of sales.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 19, 2011, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.
