Independent Auditors’ Report


To the Board of Directors
GreenLine Holding Company and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GreenLine Holding Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 express no such 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.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 13, the Company was sold on April 23, 2012.

1.           Description of Business

Description of Business

GreenLine Holding Company (“Holding”), its wholly owned subsidiary, GreenLine Foods, Inc. (“GreenLine”), and GreenLine’s wholly owned subsidiaries, GreenLine Logistics, Inc. (“Logistics”) and GreenLine South Carolina Properties, LLC (“South Carolina”), (collectively, the “Company”) process and distribute fresh trimmed green beans and other produce items to food wholesalers, distributors, and retailers throughout the United States.

2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holding and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year so that comparable year-over-year periods contain the same number of days to ensure consistent comparisons. The Company’s year-end is the last Sunday in December each year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

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

Inventories

The Company’s inventories consist of raw materials, supplies and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
 
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold Improvements are amortized over the shorter of the economic life of the asset or the life of the lease. The useful lives of Buildings and Improvements range from 15 to 40 years. The useful lives of vehicles, furniture, fixtures, and equipment range from 3 to 10 years. Additions and major replacements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Cost and accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved for dispositions with resulting gains or losses reflected in income.

The Company assesses the potential impairment of its property, plant and equipment upon occurrence of triggering events indicative of potential impairment by determining whether the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the property, plant, and equipment’s remaining estimated useful life. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives (trade name) are not amortized. Instead, such assets are tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment of the trade name is determined by comparing its carrying value to its estimated fair value using the relief from royalty method. A two-step impairment test is used for goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment test is performed as of September 30.

The costs of all other intangible assets (customer relationships and developed technology) are amortized over their useful lives using accelerated methods. The Company assesses the recoverability of its amortizable intangible assets upon occurrence of triggering events indicative of potential impairment by determining whether carrying values can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the remaining useful lives of the intangible assets. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Debt Issuance Costs

The cost of obtaining financing is amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective debt obligations. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense.

Put Warrants

The Company has recorded a liability for the estimated fair value of the detachable put warrants issued in conjunction with its senior subordinated notes and is recognizing changes in the estimated fair value in earnings. The fair value of the put warrants was estimated by management of the Company based on valuation models as well as historical earnings trends (See Note 8).

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Returns and Doubtful Accounts

Revenues are recorded when the product is delivered to the customer, title has transferred, and collectability is assumed. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon past loss experience and known and inherent risks in the accounts.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

Shipping and Freight Costs

Shipping and freight costs related to transporting materials to production facilities and distributing goods to the customer are charged to cost of goods sold. The price charged to customers includes shipping and freight. Other shipping and freight expenses are charged to operating expenses.

Business Concentrations

The Company had sales to two customers that accounted for approximately 22% of net sales for the year ended December 25, 2011 and 20% of net sales for the year ended December 26, 2010. Accounts receivable from these customers approximated 18% of total accounts receivable at both December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are the result of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Income tax benefits generated from the amortization of the amount of goodwill recognized for income tax purposes in excess of the amount recorded for financial reporting purposes are credited against goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company adopted provisions included in ASC Subtopic 740-10 on January 1, 2009.  The Company recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $227,000 and $113,000 at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes.  The Company recorded $18,000 of penalties and interest at December 25, 2011.  The Company’s tax returns have not been audited by any federal and state tax authorities.  For years before 2008, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Holding has an employee stock-based compensation plan which is more fully described in Note 10. The Company measures compensation expense under the plan based on the estimated fair values of the awards on the grant dates and amortizes the expense over the options’ vesting periods.

Interest Rate Collars

In December 2006, the Company entered into two interest rate collar agreements (“Interest Rate Collars”) to limit the Company’s interest rate exposure, in accordance with a requirement in the Senior Debt Agreement. The first agreement expired in 2010 and provided that the Company received or paid interest, based on a notional amount of $8,000,000 through December 31, 2009 (fiscal 2010), when 3 month LIBOR exceeded the strike rate of 5.50% or was less than the strike rate of 4.35%. The second agreement expired in fiscal year 2009. The change in fair value of the interest rate collars reflected in interest expense for the year ended December 26, 2010 was $(81,597).

Contingencies

The Company is party to various claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business. Based upon information that is currently available, management of the Company believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that the results of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Reclassification

Certain amounts were reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

In September 2006, the Company entered into a $42.8 million senior credit facility (“Senior Debt Agreement”) with a financial institution to finance the acquisition of the Company and to provide funds for working capital needs. The Senior Debt Agreement includes a revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), a $16.4 million term loan (“Term Loan A”), another $16.4 million term loan (“Term Loan B”), and another term loan with a maximum of $4 million (“Earnout Loan”).

The credit agreement was amended in November 2007 to increase Term Loan B by $6.75 million to provide funding for the purchase of the assets of Green Glen Produce, Inc. and the purchase of the existing building housing the Company’s Ohio operations.

The Revolver provides a maximum of $6,000,000 of revolving credit through June 21, 2012, subject to maintenance of adequate levels of accounts receivable and inventories per a borrowing base formula. At December 25, 2011, outstanding borrowings on the Revolver were $336,502 and as of December 26, 2010 outstanding borrowings on the Revolver were $-0-. Maximum available borrowings per the borrowing base formula were $5,513,498 and $5,850,000 at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively.

Term Loan A required quarterly principal payments of $500,000 commencing December 31, 2006 through September 30, 2007. The quarterly payment increased to $750,000 for the period December 31, 2007 through September 30, 2009. Term Loan A required principal payments of $1,000,000 for the period December 31, 2009 through September 30, 2010, and $1,100,000 for the period December 31, 2010 through June 30, 2011. As of September 21, 2011, Term Loan A was paid off in full. Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $25,000 commencing December 31, 2006 through September 30, 2011. The quarterly payment will increase to $1,987,500 on December 31, 2011 through June 30, 2013. The Senior Debt Agreement also requires additional mandatory principal prepayments on Term Loan A and Term Loan B equal to 50% to 75% of annual Excess Cash Flow, as defined, commencing in 2007.

Mandatory principal prepayments on Term Loan A and Term Loan B are also required from the proceeds of certain asset sales or equity issuances.

The Earnout loan requires quarterly principal payments of $37,500 commencing September 30, 2007 through March 20, 2012. The quarterly payment will increase to $281,250 on June 20, 2012 through June 30, 2013, with the remaining balance payable in full on September 21, 2013.

Interest on all borrowings under the Senior Debt Agreement is at either the Base Rate (the greater of the prime rate or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate) or LIBOR as elected by the Company, plus a premium. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the premium is based upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined. The premium for Revolver and Term Loan A borrowings subsequent to the date of the receipt of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2007 until April 24, 2008 ranged from 1.25% to 2.00% above the Base Rate or 2.75% to 3.50% above LIBOR. The premium for Term Loan B borrowings ranged from 1.75% to 2.50% above the Base Rate or 3.25% to 4.00% above LIBOR.

The Third Amendment to the Senior Debt Agreement, dated April 25, 2008, amended the premium on all senior debt. Pursuant to the amendment, the premium was 2.50% and 4.00% for Base Rate based and LIBOR based Revolver and Term A borrowings, respectively, for the period from April 25, 2008 through the date of the receipt of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008. The premium on Term Loan B borrowings was 3.00% and 4.50% for Base Rate based and LIBOR based borrowings, respectively, for the period from April 25, 2008 through the date of the receipt of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008. The premium for Revolver and Term Loan A borrowings subsequent to the date of the receipt of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008 ranged from 1.25% to 2.50% above the Base Rate or 2.75% to 4.00% above LIBOR. The premium for Term Loan B borrowing ranged from 1.75% to 3.00% above the Base Rate or 3.25% to 4.50% above LIBOR.

On December 31, 2008, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Senior Debt Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment modified certain reporting requirements and increased the premium over LIBOR to 5.25% for both the Revolver and the Term Loans. It also reduced the Maximum Revolving Amount to $2.5 million.

On March 27, 2009, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Senior Debt Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment modified certain financial covenants and increased the premium over LIBOR to 6.00% for both the Revolver and the Term Loans. In addition, the Company entered into a Capital Call Agreement with certain of its shareholders and the Bank whereby its shareholders will contribute up to $3.6 million in the event of a Triggering Event as defined by the Capital Call Agreement.

On July 21, 2010, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Senior Debt Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment redefined the Company’s borrowing base, EBITDA, and excess cash flow, and new financial covenants were instituted. The Sixth Amendment also called for an advance from the majority owner, which included 18% PIK interest. Finally, the majority owner was required to make a capital contribution of $1 million which was immediately used to pay down term loans.

On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Senior Debt Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment extended the maturity of the Revolver to March 21, 2012, amended certain financial covenants and modified certain provisions of the Credit and Security Agreement.

On March 21, 2012, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Senior Debt Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment extended the maturity of the Revolving Loans to June 21, 2012, amended certain financial covenants and modified certain provisions of the Credit and Security Agreement.

The majority owner, Riverside Capital Appreciation Fund, L.P., also provided an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of the full and prompt payment of the Revolver up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $6 million related to the Credit and Security Agreement. As part of this guaranty, interest accrues daily at 15% of the Guaranteed Maximum Amount, and is payable upon maturity of (a) the Revolving Credit Commitment and (b) the Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement). The Guarantee Fee shall accrue until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Guaranty Agreement has been terminated and shall be due and payable in full on the earliest to occur of (i) the last schedule maturity date of the Loans, (ii) the acceleration of any of the Secured Debt, (iii) the initiation of foreclosure proceedings by the Agent or any Lender against any Collateral, (iv) the acceleration of an Indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Debt Documents, (v) the occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Section 8.13 of the Credit Agreement and (vi) the occurrence of any Liquidity Event (as defined in the Management Agreement). Accrued Interest at December 25, 2011 was $240,000.

The effective interest rate for Senior Debt Agreement borrowings at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 was 8.25% and 8.00%, respectively. The Senior Debt Agreement provides for a monthly commitment fee of 0.50% of an amount based on the average daily balance of the unused portion of the Revolver commitment.

The Senior Debt Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and requires, among other things, maintenance by the Company of minimum levels of cash flow coverage, leverage to EBITDA ratios and limits capital expenditures. As of December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, financial covenants have been met.

In September 2006, the Company also issued four Subordinated Notes in the amount of $12.5 million, due March 20, 2014, to finance the acquisition of the Company. The Subordinated Notes contain an annual interest rate of 14%, which is payable quarterly, except that the Company may elect to defer payment of up to 2 percentage points of the interest which is then included as principal. The Company elected to defer payment of interest of $352,816 and $323,330 for the years ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively. As a result, the Company is accruing an additional 3.75 percent on these Subordinated Notes.

The Subordinated Notes are subordinated to borrowings under the Senior Debt Agreement. Subject to restrictions in the Senior Debt Agreement, the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part for the accreted principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest plus a premium as described in the Subordinated Note Agreement. The Subordinated Notes also require compliance with certain minimum levels of EBITDA, cash flow coverage and leverage ratios. As of December 25, 2011, financial covenants have been met.

In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, Holding issued four currently exercisable warrants to acquire 0.6% of the outstanding common shares of Holding on a fully diluted basis at a price of $0.01 per share. The warrants have an expiration date of September 21, 2016. The fair value of the warrants of $167,997 at the date of issuance was based upon the fair value of Holding’s common shares at the Date of Inception of Operations. The difference between the stated principal amount of the Subordinated Notes $12,500,000 and their carrying value of $12,332,003 at the Date of Inception of Operations represents an original issue discount that is amortized over the term of the Subordinated Notes. The unamortized original issue discount at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 is $50,023 and $72,476, respectively. Amortization of original issue discount for the years ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 is $22,453 and $22,412, respectively, and is reflected in interest expense.

Amortization expense was $2,884,176 and $2,861,809 for the years ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively. Customer relationships are being amortized over a useful life of 20 years. Developed technology was amortized over a useful life of 5.25 years. An accelerated method is used for calculating amortization that reflects the pattern in which economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed by the Company. The ratio of the value of the assets that is amortized during any given period was developed based on the undiscounted cash flows included in the valuation models originally used to determine the intangible assets.

The total carrying value of identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consisted of the Company’s trade name and goodwill in the aggregate amount of $30,609,987 and $30,849,632 at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively. The Company performed its annual impairment test of its intangible assets that have indefinite lives (goodwill and trade name) as of September 30, 2011 and determined that no impairment exists.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, were as follows:

   
December 25,
2011
   
December 26,

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.  The Company has identified indefinite-lived intangible assets for which it has recorded a deferred tax liability.   The deferred tax liability for the indefinite-lived intangible assets were not included in management’s analysis of projected future income as the reversal of the liability is uncertain.  Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences and carryforwards.  As such, the Company has recognized a valuation allowance of $9,480,677 and $3,053,558 at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively.  The valuation allowance is recorded against the net deferred tax assets of the Company, which does not include the deferred tax liability for the indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The Company has available, at December 25, 2011, an operating loss carryforward of approximately $18.9 million for federal tax purposes, which may be applied against future taxable income and which begins to expire in 2022. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward as of December 26, 2011 of approximately $7 million for state purposes, which begins to expire in 2014 and may be applied against future taxable income in the state jurisdiction.

8.           Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 established a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”). The hierarchy level assigned to financial instruments recorded at fair value is based on the Company’s assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of such instrument at the measurement date. The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment.

If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, as well as obligations under accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company has outstanding warrants. The fair value of these warrants are $167,997 and are considered to be Level 3 measurements. There were no significant changes in the value of the warrants during the period.

9.           Lease Agreements

Capital Leases

The Company leases certain food processing equipment and a forklift under capital leases. The equipment under the capital leases had a net book value of $62,671 and $102,950 at December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, which was composed of a capitalized cost of $280,128 less accumulated amortization of $217,457 through December 25, 2011 and $177,178 through December 26, 2010.

10.           Common Stock and Options

Common Stock

Authorized common stock of Holding consists of 300,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 34,652 shares were issued and outstanding at December 25, 2011 and 34,590 were outstanding at December 26, 2010.

The Company’s Shareholders Agreement restricts the sale or transfer of common stock to certain parties. If a management shareholder terminates his or her employment with the Company, Holding has certain call rights with respect to the common stock owned by the shareholder.

Options

The Company’s Non-qualified Stock Option Plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options to the Company’s employees for up to 4,200 shares of stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The options are exercisable within ten years of the date of grant, but only to the extent they have vested. The options generally vest upon certain dates specified in the option agreements or achievement of certain equity targets upon a change in the control of the Company, subject to continued employment with the Company. Once the options are exercised, the shares are subject to transfer restrictions under the terms of the Company’s Shareholders Agreement.

As of December 25, 2011, there were 2,200 options reserved for future grants. Any shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options are expected to be newly issued shares.

During the years ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010, the weighted average grant date fair value of each option granted was as follows:

   
2011
 
2010

Non-cash stock option compensation (benefit) expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010 was $(36,441) and $(32,317). The benefit recorded resulted from the impact of stock options forfeited during the year. The total compensation cost related to non-vested awards for time vest options not yet recognized was $15,472 as of December 25, 2011. This cost is expected to be recognized over weighted average period of 39 months.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the share values of publicly traded companies within the fresh produce industry as a surrogate for the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock. A zero dividend yield is assumed in the stock option fair value computations because of the restrictions contained in the Company’s credit facility concerning dividends. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding until a change in the control of the Company. The forfeiture rate is an estimate applied to recognize expense only for those options expected to vest. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following is a summary of our assumptions:

   
2011
   
2010
 
             
Expected volatility
    45.0 %     57.0 %

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
LANDEC CORPORATION AND GREENLINE HOLDING COMPANY

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Landec Corporation (“Landec”) and GreenLine Holding Company (“GreenLine”) after giving effect to Landec’s acquisition of GreenLine on April 23, 2012, and the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of February 26, 2012 is presented as if the acquisition of GreenLine had occurred on February 26, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended February 26, 2012, and fiscal year ended May 29, 2011, are presented as if the GreenLine acquisition had occurred on May 31, 2010 and were carried forward through each of the aforementioned respective periods.

The allocation of the purchase price used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions.  These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the net tangible assets and intangible assets.  Any change could result in material variances between our future financial results and the amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses and cash
flows associated with these items.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of or intended to represent the results that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and associated cost savings that we may achieve with respect to the combined companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 29, 2011 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 26, 2012, the historical financial statements of GreenLine for the year ended December 25, 2011 included as Exhibit 99.1, and other information pertaining to us and GreenLine contained in this Form 8-K/A.

LANDEC CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of February 26, 2012, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended February 26, 2012, and for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2011, are based on the historical financial statements of Landec Corporation (“Landec”) and those of GreenLine Holding Company (“GreenLine”) after giving effect to the GreenLine acquisition on April 23, 2012 (“Closing Date”) and the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

We account for business combinations pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations.  In accordance with ASC 805, we recognize separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non controlling interests in an acquiree, generally at the acquisition date fair value as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred, which is also generally measured at fair value, and the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

We have made significant assumptions and estimates in determining the preliminary estimated purchase price and the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as we finalize the valuations of the net tangible assets, intangible assets and resultant goodwill.  In particular, the final valuations of identifiable intangible and net tangible assets may change significantly from our preliminary estimates.  These changes could result in material variances between our future financial results and the amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses and cash flows associated with these items.

Accounting Periods Presented

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of February 26, 2012 is presented as if the GreenLine acquisition had occurred on February 26, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended February 26, 2012, and year ended May 29, 2011, are presented as if the GreenLine acquisition had occurred on May 31, 2010.  Since GreenLine’s fiscal year end of December 25, 2011 differs from Landec’s fiscal year end of May 29, 2011, GreenLine’s results have been presented as if its fiscal year end was May 29, 2011.

2. PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

The total consideration paid by Apio Inc. (“Apio), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Landec, to GreenLine shareholders at closing for all of the outstanding securities of GreenLine consisted of $62.9 million in cash, of which $4.725 million was placed in an escrow account until October 23, 2013 to secure the indemnification rights of Apio and Landec and other indemnities with respect to certain matters, including breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of GreenLine included in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”).  Apio may also be required to pay up to an additional $7.0 million in earn out payments based on GreenLine achieving certain revenue targets during calendar year 2012.  The earn out is comprised of an initial cliff amount of $4.0 million for achieving a certain revenue target during calendar year 2012 and then up to an additional $3.0 million for exceeding the revenue target by $3.0 million or more.

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the contingent payment obligations are included in the purchase price allocation and are recorded as a long-term liability at estimated fair value on the Closing Date.  The estimated fair value of this short-term liability is based on management’s assessment of whether, as of the Closing Date, the specified financial targets would be achieved, and of the present value factors associated with the timing of the milestone achievement.  Landec has performed an analysis of projected revenues for GreenLine that are subject to the earn out and has concluded that it is more likely than not that GreenLine will achieve the initial revenue target but not exceed it and therefore Landec has recorded $3.9 million (fair value of the earn out payment as of May 27, 2012) of additional purchase price for the projected earn out payment.

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, management will remeasure the fair value of the contingent payment obligations at each reporting period, with any changes in fair value being recorded in the current period’s Consolidated Statement of Income.

For purposes of presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the estimated purchase price for GreenLine is $66.8 million, as follows (in thousands):

Cash
  $ 62,900  
Contingent consideration
    3,926  
   Total
  $ 66,826  

Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred

Under the purchase method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recognized and measured as of the acquisition date based on their estimated fair values as of the Closing Date. The excess of the acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred over estimated fair value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Estimates of deferred tax assets both current and non-current are subject to change, pending the finalization of certain tax returns (in thousands):
 
Accounts receivable, net
  $ 7,057  
Inventories, net
    1,409  
Property and equipment
    10,014  
Other tangible assets
    306  
Intangible assets
    43,500  
   Total identifiable assets acquired
    62,286

   Total liabilities assumed
    (10,273 )
        Net identifiable assets acquired

    14,813  
        Net assets acquired
  $ 66,826  

Intangible Assets

In our determination of the fair value of the intangible assets we considered, among other factors, the best use of acquired assets, analyses of historical financial performance and estimates of future financial performance of GreenLine.  The fair values of identified intangible assets were calculated using an income approach and estimates and assumptions provided by GreenLine’s and our management.  The rates utilized to discount net cash flows to their present values were based on weighted average cost of capital ranged from 11% to 16%.  This discount rate was determined after consideration of the rate of return on debt capital and equity that typical investors would require in an investment in companies similar in size and operating in similar markets as GreenLine. The following table sets forth the components of identified intangible assets associated with the GreenLine acquisition and their estimated useful lives (in thousands):
 
 
6

 

Trade names/Trademarks
  $ 36,000  
Customer relationships
    7,500  
   Total
  $ 43,500  

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we determined the useful life of intangible assets based on the expected future cash flows associated with the respective asset. There were no in-process research and development assets as of the acquisition date.  Customer relationships represent the underlying relationships and agreements with GreenLine’s installed customer base. Trade names and trademarks represent the fair value of the brand and name recognition associated with the marketing of GreenLine’s products and services.  Amortization expense for customer relationships is included in operating expenses.

Goodwill

Of the total estimated purchase price, approximately $14.8 million was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets.  In accordance with ASC Topic 805, goodwill resulting from business combinations is tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).  In the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, we will incur an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.  None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Debt

On April 23, 2012 in connection with the acquisition of GreenLine, Apio entered into three loan agreements with General Electric Capital Corporation and/or its affiliates (“GE Capital”), collectively (the “Apio Loan Agreements”):

 
1)
A five-year, $25.0 million asset-based working capital revolving line of credit, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2%, with availability based on the combination of the Apio’s, Cal Ex’s, and GreenLine Logistics, Inc.’s, an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Apio (“GreenLine Logistics”), eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory balances.

 
2)
A $12.7 million capital equipment loan which matures in seven years due in monthly principal and interest payments of $175,356 with interest based on a fixed rate of 4.39% per annum.

 
3)
A $19.1 million real estate loan, $1.2 million of which is due on April 23, 2013 and the remainder maturing in ten years.  The real estate loans have a fifteen year amortization period due in monthly principal and interest payments of $141,962 with interest based on a fixed rate of 4.02% per annum.   The principal balance remaining at the end of the ten year term is due in one lump sum on April 23, 2022.

The obligations of Apio and the borrowers thereunder arising from the Apio Loan Agreements are secured by liens on all of the property of Apio, Cal Ex, Apio Cooling, a California limited partnership and majority-owned subsidiary of Apio, and GreenLine Logistics.  The Apio Loan Agreements contain customary events of default under which obligations could be accelerated or increased.  Landec is guarantying all obligations of Apio, Cal Ex, Apio Cooling and GreenLine Logistics to GE Capital under the loans described in clauses (2) and (3) above and has pledged its equity interest in Apio as collateral under the loan described in (1) above.

Pre-Acquisition Contingencies

We have evaluated and continue to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies related to GreenLine that existed as of the acquisition date.  If these pre-acquisition contingencies that existed as of the acquisition date become probable in nature and estimable during the remainder of the measurement period, amounts recorded for such matters will be made in the measurement period and, subsequent to the measurement period, in our results of operations.
