PARADISE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Paradise, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments and accruals that management believes is necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. The notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.
NOTE 2 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2011-02 A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring for the purpose of measuring the impairment of old receivables and evaluating whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. An entity should disclose the total amount of receivables and the allowances for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption related to those receivables that are considered newly impaired under ASC Section 310-10-35 for which impairment was previously measured under ASC Subtopic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies. The ASU is effective for the Company for the interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The ASU expands ASC Topic 820’s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments that could change how the fair value measurement guidance in ASC Topic 820 is applied. The ASU is effective for the Company for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU is effective for the Company for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
NOTE 3 NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share, assuming no dilution, is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period: (519,600 as of June 30, 2011 and 519,350 as of June 30, 2010).

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 4 SHORT-TERM DEBT
On June 30, 2011, Paradise, Inc. renewed its revolving loan agreement with the Company’s current financial institution that has a maximum limit of $12,000,000 and a borrowing limit of 80% of the Company’s eligible receivables plus up to 60% of the Company’s eligible inventory. This agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company and matures on June 30, 2013. Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s LIBOR rate plus 1.9% or a floor of 3%, whichever is greater.
NOTE 5 BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA
The Company’s operations are conducted through two business segments. These segments, and the primary operations of each, are as follows:
Business Segment Operation
|
|
Fruit
|
Production of candied fruit, a basic fruitcake ingredient, sold to manufacturing bakers, institutional users, and retailers for use in home baking. Also, based on market conditions, the processing of frozen strawberry products, for sale to commercial and institutional users such as preservers, dairies, drink manufacturers, etc.
|
|
|
Molded Plastics
|
Production of plastics containers and other molded plastics for sale to various food processors and others.

For the six month period ended, June 30, 2011 and 2010, sales of frozen strawberry products totaled $322,533 and $192,797, respectively.
The Company does not account for intersegment transfers as if the transfers were to third parties.
The Company does not prepare operating profit or loss information on a segment basis for internal use, until the end of each year. Due to the seasonal nature of the fruit segment, management believes that it is not practical to prepare this information for interim reporting purposes. Therefore, reporting is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward–Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact should be considered “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of these provisions, including statements that include projections of, or expectations about, earnings, revenues or other financial items, statements about our plans and objectives for future operations, statements concerning proposed new products or services, statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, statements concerning our expectations regarding the attraction and retention of customers, statements about market risk and statements underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of such terminology as “may”, “will”, “expects”, “potential”, or “continue”, or the negative thereof or other similar words. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations or any of our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Actual results and developments are likely to be different from, and may be materially different from, those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.
Overview
Paradise, Inc.’s main business segment, glace’ fruit, a prime ingredient of fruitcakes and other holiday confections, representing 68.1% of total net sales for the previous year of 2010. These products are sold to manufacturing bakers, institutional users, supermarkets and other retailers throughout the country. Consumer demand for glace’ fruit product is traditionally strongest during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Almost 80% of glace’ fruit product sales are recorded from the eight to ten weeks beginning in mid September.
Since the majority of the Company’s customers require delivery of glace’ candied fruit products during this relatively short period of time, Paradise, Inc. must operate at consistent levels of production from as early as January through the middle of November of each year in order to meet peak demands. Furthermore, the Company must make substantial borrowings of short-term working capital to cover the cost of raw materials, factory overhead and labor expense associated with production for inventory. This combination of building and financing inventories during the year, without the opportunity to record any significant fruit product income, results in the generation of operating losses well into the third quarter of each year. Therefore, it is the opinion of management that meaningful forecasts of annual net sales or profit levels require analysis of a full year’s operations.
In addition, comparison of current quarterly results to the preceding quarter produces an incomplete picture on the Company’s performance due to year-to-year changes in production schedules, seasonal harvests and availability of raw materials, and in the timing of customer orders and shipments. Thus, the discussion of information presented within this report is focused on the review of the Company’s current year-to-date results as compared to the similar period last year.
Paradise, Inc.’s other business segment, Paradise Plastics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Paradise, Inc., produces custom molding products that is not subject to the seasonality of the glace’ fruit business. This segment represents all injection molding and thermoforming operations, including the packaging for the Company’s fruit products. Only sales to unaffiliated customers are reported.

The First Six Months
Paradise, Inc.’s fruit segment net sales for the first six months of 2011 increased 15.2% to $931,841 from $809,017 for the similar reporting period of 2010. Paradise, Inc.’s fruit segment sales are very seasonal in nature as net sales for the first six months of the year have historically represented less than 5% of annual net sales. The primary sales activity within this segment for the first six months of the year relates to bulk fruit orders received and shipped to supermarkets and manufacturing bakeries. The remaining volume of sales activity consists of the sale of finished strawberry products produced exclusively for a local Plant City, Florida distributor during late March and early April of each year. For a tolling fee, Paradise, Inc. will receive and process fresh strawberries on behalf of this distributor. Tolling charges earned during the first six months of 2011 were $322,533 compared to $192,797 for the similar reporting period of 2010.
Paradise Plastics, Inc.’s net sales to unaffiliated customers, during the first six months of 2011, decreased 2.0% to $3,838,795 from $3,917,461 compared to the similar reporting period of 2010 as the increase cost for plastics resins fueled by the rise in energy prices has slowed reorders for various plastics items over the past several months.
Consolidated cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 4.4% during the first six months of 2011 compared to the similar reporting period of 2010. However, with less than 30% of the Company’s estimated needs for retail glace’ fruit inventory produced as of June 30, 2011, it is too early to forecast with any reasonable certainty cost of sales until a full year’s inventory production cycle is completed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2011 decreased 3.1% compared to the previous year’s reporting period of 2010. This decrease is primarily related to the Company’s reduction in administrative payroll expenses along with related savings in the cost of employee benefits associated with this reduction.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 7.9% for the first six months of 2011 compared to the similar reporting period of 2010 as fixed assets that became fully depreciated during the past twelve months were greater than the amount of new assets placed into service during this period.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 equaled $0 compared to $3,135 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company renewed its revolving line of credit on June 30, 2011 for a two year period. Terms of the renewal are similar to the previous agreement. Paradise, Inc.’s revolving line of credit has a maximum limit of $12,000,000 with a borrowing base of 80% of the Company’s eligible receivables plus up to 60% of the Company’s eligible inventory. Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s LIBOR rate plus 1.9% or a floor rate of 3%, whichever is greater.
Other Significant Items
As reported during the first quarter filing for 2011, on February 22, 2011, Paradise, Inc. received $150,000 from a former supplier to settle a dispute dating back to September, 2004. This amount is reflected as part of Other Income on the Company’s income statement. All legal expenses incurred by Paradise, Inc. as a result of this settlement have been paid.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Summary
Paradise Inc.’s consolidated net sales increased 1% for the first six months of 2011 compared to the similar reporting period of 2010 as an increase in tolling charges earned from a local distributor outpaced a small decline in plastics orders due to rising resin cost within the plastics segment.
However, as mentioned and disclosed in all previous interim filings, due to the highly seasonal nature of the Company’s primary product, glace’ fruit, which accounts for approximately 70% of consolidated annual revenue, no meaningful financial analysis may be developed from Paradise, Inc.’s interim reporting results. Only a full year’s accounting of revenue and expenses will provide the necessary information to determine the Company’s financial performance.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. We evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments and have the most potential to impact our financial position and operating results. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance for the purpose of measuring the impairment of old receivables and evaluating whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. An entity should disclose the total amount of receivables and the allowances for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption related to those receivables that are considered newly impaired under the new guidance for which impairment was previously measured under previously authoritative guidance. The guidance is effective for us for the interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance that expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments that could change how the fair value measurement guidance is applied. The guidance is effective for us for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance that revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for us for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have, within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of June 30, 2011, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company identified a weakness in internal control over the timing of issuing credit memos for products returned into inventory. Procedures were established during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to ensure the timeliness of issuing credit memos when products are returned. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The most recent evaluation of these controls by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not identify any additional deficiencies or weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting; therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
