Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed to amend certain financial information included in “Note 2. Acquisition” (“Note 2”) and in “Note 3. Held for Sale,” (“Note 3”) both contained in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 26, 2012, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 30, 2012 (“Original Report”). This Amendment contains only the sections of the Original Report which are being amended. We are amending Note 2 by deleting the reference to our utilization of a third party in our evaluation process of our acquisition of the Kettle Creations Brand^®. We are amending Note 3 by deleting our reference to our utilization of a third party to help us to evaluate our strategic alternatives for our held for sale business segment.

Except for the two amendments described above, no other information in the Original Report has been amended. Further, we have not updated any other information in the disclosures in this Amendment to reflect any event subsequent to the Company’s filing of the Original Report.

2. Acquisition

On August 14, 2012, BEF Foods, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, acquired from Kettle Creations, LLC, the Kettle Creations^® brand (“Kettle”) and a 100,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art food production facility that produces mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and other side dishes. The purchase price for the brand and facilities was $53,208 in cash. The production facility is included in the BEF Foods segment. The acquisition of Kettle and the food production facility enables us to expand our rapidly growing side dish category. The preliminary purchase price allocation of goodwill and other intangibles of $18,242 and $4,132, respectively, from the acquisition were attributed largely to the planned extension of existing manufacturing capabilities at Kettle beyond its strength in potato products, to other side dishes. We expect to shorten the product innovation and development pipeline by our acquisition of Kettle. The side dish category is a high net sales growth opportunity for BEF Foods. Goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. Of the $4,132 of acquired intangible assets, $3,027 was provisionally assigned to registered trade names and workforce that are not subject to amortization and $1,105 was provisionally assigned to definite-lived noncompetition agreements

The Company recognized $910 and $1,327 of acquisition-related expenses as of the three months ended and six months ended October 26, 2012, respectively. These costs are included in S,G&A in the consolidated statement of income. In addition to acquisition costs, a total retention incentive of $5,243 was established to incent Kettle employees to meet service requirements during the acquisition period and for three consecutive periods thereafter. At August 14, 2012, $1,499 was the first retention incentive payment made to Kettle employees who met the acquisition service requirement, with $3,744 payable remaining to Kettle employees who meet the service requirement at the anniversary of the acquisition date for three consecutive years thereafter. As these costs are expensed over the period earned, they will be included in S,G&A in the consolidated statement of income.

3. Held for Sale

On November 19, 2012, the Company announced that, consistent with its commitment to enhance value for all of its shareholders, the Company is exploring a range of strategic alternatives for its Mimi’s Café business segment, including but not limited to a potential sale of the business or its assets. As a result, subsequent to the second quarter, fiscal 2013, Mimi’s Café has met all of the criteria set forth in ASC 360 to be classified as held for sale. The applicable criteria include the following: management has committed to a plan to sell the assets; the assets are available for immediate sale; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets have been initiated, the sale of the assets is probable and the transfer of the assets is expected to qualify as a complete sale within one year; the assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

The total carrying value of Mimi’s Café assets as of October 26, 2012 was $38,509.
