NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Udi’s Healthy Foods, LLC (the Company), a Colorado limited liability company, manufactures, distributes and sells granola and gluten-free baked goods throughout the United States. The Company was organized on February 22, 2010. On April 9, 2010, Hubson Acquisition, LLC (Hubson) obtained control of the Company, which resulted in this change in control being accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting.

 

Effective July 2, 2012, Smart Balance, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding member units of the Company (the Transaction). The purchase price was approximately $126,325,000, which reflects the initial purchase price of $125 million and an estimated purchase price adjustment of approximately $1,325,000.

 

The accompanying financial statements and notes include the audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the related audited statements of operations, members' capital and cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2012, and the unaudited statements of operations, members' capital and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the Company incurred certain compensation, legal and related costs of approximately $8,595,000, which are recorded as transaction expenses in the statement of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. The Transaction will be accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting.

 

Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

 

Financial Instruments:  Financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable and bank notes payable.  The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies: The Company extends credit to its customers throughout the United States. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due generally under normal payment terms within 30 days from the invoice date. Periodically, the Company provides for extended payment terms of 60 to 90 days. The Company does not normally charge interest or late fees on past due accounts. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

 

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for advertising and promotions, discounts and other miscellaneous sales deductions. Management estimates the portion, if any, of the accounts receivable that will not be collected and records an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce total accounts receivable to their net realizable value.

 

Inventories consist of both raw materials and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

 

Property and Equipment acquired in a business combination are recorded at their acquisition cost, as allocated according to the assets’ fair values on that date. Property and equipment acquired after the business combination are recorded at invoice cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to ten years. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

 

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Intangible Assets consist of $7,790,610 of gluten-free recipes acquired in the acquisition of the Company’s business. Recipes are not being amortized as management has determined they have indefinite lives, but are subject to impairment tests annually or whenever an event or circumstances indicate the carrying amount, may be impaired. Management evaluated these indefinite lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2011, and determined that the carrying value of the recipes did not exceed the implied fair value at December 31, 2011. To conduct its annual test for impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company utilized the income approach. To date, there has been no impairment of the Company's recipes.

 

Long-lived Assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. To date, no adjustments to the carrying value of the long-lived assets have been required.

 

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized as products are shipped to customers.

 

Customer Rebates, and other similar volume-based marketing programs, are included as a reduction of net sales, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and totaled $4,176,153 during the year ended December 31, 2011, $2,928,010 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and $2,034,809 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs are deducted from sales and totaled $2,887,006 during the year ended December 31, 2011, $2,211,554 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and $1,302,697 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Advertising and Marketing Costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $6,653,200 during the year ended December 31, 2011, $4,310,184 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and $2,890,523 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Income Taxes: The Company is a Colorado limited liability company which has elected to report as a partnership for income tax purposes. As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to its members. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements. Certain specific deductions and credits flow through the Company to its members.

 

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.  The Company filed its initial federal and state income tax returns for the period ended December 31, 2010; therefore, all of the Company’s income tax returns are still subject to examination by the tax authorities.

 

Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated the financial statements as of December 31, 2011 for subsequent events occurring through February 6, 2012, the date the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 were available to be issued.
