1. Summary of Business Activities

Business Overview

Pinnacle Foods Inc. (hereafter referred to as “Pinnacle” or the “Company”), formerly known as Crunch Holding Corp., is a holding company whose sole asset is 100% ownership of Peak Finance Holdings LLC (“PFH”). PFH is a holding company whose sole asset is 100% ownership of Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC (“Pinnacle Foods Finance”). The Company is majority owned by affiliates of the Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone").

The Company is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of high quality, branded convenience food products, the products and operations of which are managed and reported in three operating segments: (i) Birds Eye Frozen, (ii) Duncan Hines Grocery and (iii) Specialty Foods. The Company’s United States retail frozen vegetables (Birds Eye), frozen complete bagged meals (Birds Eye Voila!), frozen seafood (Van de Kamp’s, Mrs. Paul’s), full-calorie single-serve frozen dinners and entrées (Hungry-Man), frozen breakfast (Aunt Jemima), frozen and refrigerated bagels (Lender’s), and frozen pizza for one (Celeste) are reported in the Birds Eye Frozen Division. The Company’s baking mixes and frostings (Duncan Hines), shelf-stable pickles (Vlasic), table syrups (Mrs. Butterworth’s and Log Cabin), canned meat (Armour, Nalley and Brooks), pie and pastry fillings (Comstock and Wilderness), barbecue sauces (Open Pit), salad dressing (Bernstein’s) and all Canadian operations are reported in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division. The Specialty Foods Division consists of snack products (Tim’s Cascade and Snyder of Berlin) and the Company’s food service and private label businesses.

Significant transactions affecting comparability

The results of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012 are impacted by the April 2013 IPO and the April 2013 and 2012 refinancings which significantly affected Administrative expenses, Other expense, Interest expense and Provision for income taxes. See Management's Discussion and Analysis (pages 48-74).

History and Current Ownership

Since 2001, the Company and its predecessors have been involved in several business combinations to acquire certain assets and liabilities related to the brands discussed above.

On December 23, 2009, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC (“PFG LLC”), an entity wholly owned by Pinnacle Foods Finance, purchased Birds Eye Foods, Inc. (the “Birds Eye Acquisition”).

On March 12, 2013, the Company’s board of directors authorized a 55.2444 for 1 split of the common stock. The split became effective on the date of approval. The Company retained the par value of $0.01 per share for all shares of common stock. All references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis. Shareholders’ equity reflects the stock split by reclassifying from “Additional paid-in capital” to “Common stock” an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split.

On March 28, 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering ("IPO"). The Company's common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), under the ticker symbol PF, on March 28, 2013. In connection with the IPO, 2,618,307 additional shares were issued through the exercise of a warrant agreement by Peak Holdings LLC ("Peak Holdings") which was the majority owner of Pinnacle Foods Finance prior to the IPO. Immediately thereafter, the warrant agreement was terminated and Peak Holdings was liquidated. On April 3, 2013, the IPO closed in which the Company issued and sold 33,350,000 shares of common stock for cash consideration of $20.00 per share ($18.80 per share net of underwriting discounts). None of Blackstone, Directors or management of the Company sold any shares as part of the IPO. The Company received approximately $623.9 million in net proceeds ($667.0 million of gross proceeds net of $43.1 million of underwriting discounts and other fees) from the offering, which were used to pay down debt. See Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements "Debt and Interest Expense" for further details.

2. Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2013, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements and the required disclosures are as follows:

	Fair Value as of June 30, 2013		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy						Fair Value as of December 30, 2012		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3				Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

PINNACLE FOODS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts and where noted in millions)

The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk.

The valuations of these instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate, commodity, and foreign exchange forward curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for fair value disclosure, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. The Company had no fair value measurements based upon significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013 or December 30, 2012.

In addition to the instruments named above, the Company also makes fair value measurements in connection with its annual goodwill and trade name impairment testing. These measurements would fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In December 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements," (“ASU 2011-04”). For purposes of calculating fair value of financial instruments, we manage the portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the Company's net exposure to credit risk. The Company has elected to apply the portfolio exception in ASU 2011-04 with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

5. Shareholder's Equity, Equity-Based Compensation Expense and Earnings Per Share

Equity-based Compensation

The Company has two long-term incentive programs: The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Prior to March 28, 2013, the Company also had the 2007 Unit Plan, which was terminated in connection with the Company's recent IPO. Equity-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of equity-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. As equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The authoritative guidance for equity compensation requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for equity-based awards. Prior to March 28, 2013, since the underlying equity was not publicly traded, the determination of fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model was based upon estimates of enterprise value as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. The estimated enterprise value was based upon forecasted cash flows for five years plus a terminal year and an assumed discount rate. The other variables used to determine fair value of equity-based payment awards include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility of a group of industry comparable companies over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee equity option exercise behaviors.

The fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively, was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	June 30, 2013		*	June 24, 2012
Risk-free interest rate	1.10	%		0.64	%
Expected time to option exercise	6.50 years			1.93 years
Expected volatility of Pinnacle Foods Inc. stock	35	%		55	%
Expected dividend yield on Pinnacle Foods Inc. stock	3.60	%		—	%

* all of the options issued in the first half of 2013 were valued using an IPO price of $20.00 a share

Volatility was based on the average volatility of a group of publicly traded food companies. The Company estimates the annual forfeiture rates to be approximately 10% under its long-term incentive plans.

Expense Information

The following table summarizes equity-based compensation expense related to employee equity options and employee equity units under the authoritative guidance for equity compensation which was allocated as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended

Net equity-based compensation expense	$	2,476		$	298		$	2,645		$	586

As of June 30, 2013, cumulative unrecognized equity compensation expense of the unvested portion of shares for the Company's two long-term incentive programs was $34,056. The weighted average period over which vesting will occur is approximately 6.1 years for the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and 2.7 years for the 2013 Omnibus Plan. Options under the plans have a termination date of 10 years from the date of issuance.

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company adopted an equity option plan (the “2007 Stock Incentive Plan”) providing for the issuance of up to 1,104,888 shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, certain officers, employees, managers, directors and other persons were eligible to receive grants of nonqualified stock options, as permitted by applicable law. For options granted from 2007 to 2009, generally 25% of the options will vest ratably over five years (“Time-Vested Options”), subject to full acceleration upon a change of control. Fifty percent of the options vest ratably over five years if annual or cumulative Management EBITDA targets, as defined, are met (“Performance Options”). The final 25% of the options vest either on a change of control or liquidity event, if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone (“Exit Options”). In addition, the plan was also revised to provide that if the EBITDA target is achieved in any two consecutive fiscal years (excluding 2007 and 2008) during the employee's continued employment, then that year's and all prior years' performance options will vest and become exercisable, and if the exit options vest and become exercisable during the employees continued employment, then all the performance options will also vest and become exercisable. Subsequent to 2009, the Company awarded options in the form of Time Vested Options (25%) and Performance Options (75%) to certain employees. The options have the same vesting provisions as stated above, including the provisions that if there is a change of control or liquidity event and if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone, then all the Performance Options will also vest and become exercisable. Prior to March 1, 2013, this annual internal rate of return target was 20%, but the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reduced the target for vesting purposes on that date from 20% to 12% to reflect changes in the food industry environment since the plan was adopted. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as further described below), there will be no more grants under this plan.

2007 Unit Plan

Peak Holdings, the former parent of Pinnacle Foods Inc., adopted an equity plan (the “2007 Unit Plan”) providing for the issuance of profit interest units (PIUs) in Peak Holdings. Certain employees had been given the opportunity to invest in Peak Holdings through the purchase of Peak Holding's Class A-2 Units. In addition, from 2007 to 2009, each manager who so invested was awarded profit interests in Peak Holdings in the form of Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units. Generally 25% of the PIUs vested ratably over five years (“Class B-1 Units”), subject to full acceleration upon a change of control. Fifty percent of the PIUs vested ratably over five years depending on whether annual or cumulative EBITDA targets are met (“Class B-2 Units”). The plan also provides that, if the Adjusted EBITDA target was achieved in any two consecutive fiscal years during the employee's continued employment, then that year's and all prior years' Class B-2 Units vested, and if there is a change of control or liquidity event defined as when Blackstone sells more than 50% of its holdings and a certain annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone, then all the Class B-2 units also vested, and if the Class B-3 Units vested during the employee's continued employment (as described below) then all the Class B-2 Units also vested. The final 25% of the PIUs granted vested either on a change of control or liquidity event, if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone (“Class B-3 Units”). Subsequent to 2009, the Company awarded PIUs to certain employees in the form of Class B-1 Units (25%) and Class B-2 Units (75%). The Class B-1 Units and Class B-2 Units have the same vesting provisions as stated above, including the provisions that if there is a change of control or liquidity event and if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone, then all the Class B-2 units will also vest and become exercisable. Prior to March 1, 2013, this annual internal rate of return target was 20%, but the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reduced the target for vesting purposes on that date from 20% to 12% to reflect changes in the food industry environment since the plan was adopted.

In connection with the Company's IPO, Peak Holdings was dissolved resulting in the termination of the 2007 Unit Plan and the adoption of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as further described below). As a result of the dissolution, the holders of units of Peak Holdings were distributed the assets of Peak Holdings. As the sole assets of Peak Holdings were shares of the Company's common stock, units were converted into shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock delivered to the equity holder as a result of the conversion had the same intrinsic value as the Class A-2 Units held by the equity holder prior to such conversion. Additionally, in connection with the dissolution, all PIUs were converted into shares or restricted shares of the Company's common stock. Vested PIUs were converted into shares of common stock and unvested PIUs were converted into unvested restricted shares of our common stock, which are subject to vesting terms substantially similar to those applicable to the unvested PIU immediately prior to the conversion. The number of shares delivered under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 1,546,355, have the same intrinsic value as the PIUs immediately prior to such conversion.

2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan”) providing for the issuance of up to 11,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock which will be reserved for issuance under (1) equity awards granted as a result of the conversion of unvested PIUs into restricted common stock of the Company, (2) stock options and other equity awards granted in connection with the completion of the IPO, and (3) awards granted by the Company under the 2013 Omnibus Plan following the completion of the IPO. Pursuant to the 2013 Omnibus Plan, certain officers, employees, managers, directors and other persons are eligible to receive grants of equity based awards, as permitted by applicable law.

On March 27, 2013, in connection with the IPO, the Company issued 2,310,000 "Founders Grants" options under the 2013 Omnibus Plan. The options vest in full at the end of three years. Additionally, 82,460 non-vested shares were issued which also vest in full at the end of three years. On April 3, 2013, an additional 200,000 non-vested shares were issued to Robert J. Gamgort, the Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with his employment agreement, which vest in full at the end of one year.

The following table summarizes the equity option transactions under the 2013 Omnibus Plan:

Earnings Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss for common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share are calculated by dividing net loss by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares, which are determined as follows:

	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2013	June 24, 2012	June 30, 2013	June 24, 2012
Weighted-average common shares	114,909,243	82,234,564	98,079,574	82,240,791
Effect of dilutive securities:	—	—	—	—
Dilutive potential common shares	114,909,243	82,234,564	98,079,574	82,240,791

Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, conversion of warrants, stock options and non-vested shares totaling 410,132 and 5,192,974, respectively, into common share equivalents were excluded from this calculation because they were anti-dilutive, due to the net loss recorded in each of the periods. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, conversion of warrants, stock options and non-vested shares totaling 2,638,639 and 5,192,974, respectively, into common share equivalents were excluded from this calculation for the same reason.

8. Restructuring Charges

Pickle supply chain improvements

On May 25, 2012, the Company announced plans to further improve the efficiency of its supply chain by consolidating its Vlasic pickle production into one plant in Imlay City, MI. The Company's decision to focus on its branded Vlasic business and de-emphasize its lower-margin, un-branded pickle business was the catalyst for this consolidation. The Company's pickle production plant, located in Millsboro, DE ended production at year-end 2012. The Company recorded employee termination costs of $1,322 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. The Company recorded asset retirement obligation charges of $750 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. In addition, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $1,736 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. As a result of exiting the lower-margin un-branded pickle business, the Company terminated the use of a third party ingredients storage facility in the third quarter of 2012. In doing so, the Company recorded a contract termination fee that was paid in July 2013. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Millsboro, DE plant are recorded in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Green Bay, WI Research Facility

On May 15, 2012, the Company announced plans to relocate the Birds Eye Frozen Division Research and Development team from Green Bay, WI to its new facility at its Parsippany, NJ headquarters.

The Company closed its Green Bay, WI research facility in December 2012. The Company recorded employee termination costs of $727 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. In addition, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $187 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012.

Fulton, NY Plant

On April 15, 2011, the Company announced plans to consolidate the Birds Eye Frozen Division's Fulton, NY plant operations into its Darien, WI and Waseca, MN facilities in order to locate vegetable processing closer to the crop-growing region and thus reduce the related freight costs. In connection with this project, the Company made significant capital investments in its Darien, WI and Waseca, MN plants. The Company recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $479 and $2,324 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Fulton, NY plant were recorded in the Birds Eye Frozen Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Severance costs were accrued in the second quarter of 2011 and payments were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2012. On January 9, 2013, the sale of the Fulton location was finalized for total net proceeds of $874.

Tacoma, WA Plant

On December 3, 2010, in an effort to improve its supply chain operations, the Company announced the closure of the Tacoma, WA plant and the consolidation of production into its Fort Madison, IA plant. The Company recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $0 and $307 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Tacoma, WA plant were recorded in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Severance costs were accrued in the fourth quarter of 2010 and payments were substantially completed in the second quarter of 2012.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 3, 2013, the Company completed its IPO which is further described in Note 1. A portion of the proceeds was used to redeem the entire $465.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 9.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.0%. This is explained in greater detail under the section titled, “Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.” The remaining net proceeds, together with cash on hand, was used to repay $202.0 million of the Tranche B Non-Extended Term Loans.

On April 29, 2013, (the "April 2013 Refinancing"), Pinnacle Foods Finance, entered into the second amendment to the amended and restated Senior Secured Credit Facility, which provided for a seven year term loan facility in the amount of $1,630.0 million (the "Tranche G Term Loans") and replaced the existing revolving credit facility with a new five year $150.0 million revolving credit facility. Additionally, Pinnacle Foods Finance issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes (the "4.875% Senior Notes") due 2021.

(thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts and where noted in millions)

As a result of the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance used a portion of the proceeds from the Tranche G Term Loans and the 4.875% Senior Notes issuance to (i) repay all existing indebtedness outstanding under the then existing Senior Secured Credit Facility, consisting of (a) $38.1 million of Tranche B Non-Extended Term Loans, (b) $634.7 million of Tranche B Extended Term Loans, (c) $396.0 million of Tranche E Term Loans and (d) $446.6 million of Tranche F Term Loans and (ii) redeem $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 8.25% Senior Notes due 2017 at a redemption price of 108.5%.

In connection with the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance incurred deferred financing fees which are detailed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Goodwill, Tradenames and Other Assets”. Also, Pinnacle Foods Finance incurred $4,075 of original issue discount on the new Tranche G Term Loans, and wrote off $2,182 of existing original issue discount.

The stated maturity dates are: April 29, 2020 for the Tranche G Loans, and April 29, 2018 for the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pinnacle Foods Finance's borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, bear interest at a floating rate and are maintained as base rate loans or as eurocurrency rate loans. Base rate loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, as described in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the administrative agent's prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) the eurocurrency rate that would be payable on such day for a eurocurrency rate loan with a one-month interest period plus 1%. Eurocurrency rate loans bear interest at the adjusted eurocurrency rate plus the applicable eurocurrency rate margin, as described in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The eurocurrency rate is determined by reference to the British Bankers Association (BBA) LIBOR rate for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. With respect to Tranche G Term Loans, the eurocurrency rate shall be no less than 0.75% per annum and the base rate shall be no less than 1.75%  per annum. The interest rate margin for Tranche G Term Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is 1.50%, in the case of the base rate loans and 2.50%, in the case of eurocurrency rate loans. The margin is subject to one 25 basis point step down upon achievement by the Company of a total net leverage ratio of less than 4.25:1.0.

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Peak Finance Holdings LLC, any subsidiary of Peak Finance Holdings LLC that directly or indirectly owns 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Pinnacle Foods Finance, subject to certain exceptions, each of Pinnacle Foods Finance’s direct or indirect material domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and by the Company effective with the April 2013 refinancing. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in (i) all the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each direct or indirect domestic subsidiary of Pinnacle Foods Finance and 65% of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each direct foreign subsidiary of Pinnacle Foods Finance, or any of its material domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and (ii) certain tangible and intangible assets of Pinnacle Foods Finance and those of the Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications).

The total combined amount of the Senior Secured Credit Facility Loans that were owed to affiliates of Blackstone as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, was $52,119 and $63,097, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012 there were no borrowings outstanding for the Revolving Credit Facility, except in respect of letters of credit as set forth below, however, the eurocurrency rate would have been 2.69% and 3.71%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan components of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 3.55% and 3.82%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan components of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 3.64%, and 3.57%, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012 the eurocurrency interest rate on the term loan facilities was 3.25% and 4.08%, respectively.

Pinnacle Foods Finance pays a fee for all outstanding letters of credit drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate equivalent to the applicable eurocurrency rate margin then in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility, plus the fronting fee payable in respect of the applicable letter of credit. The fronting fee is equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such letter of credit. The fronting fees are computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Total letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility cannot exceed $50,000. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, Pinnacle Foods Finance had utilized $33,972 and $33,453, respectively of the Revolving Credit Facility for letters of credit. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, there was $116,028 and $116,547 of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $16,028 and $16,547 was available to be used for letters of credit.

(thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts and where noted in millions)

Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Pinnacle Foods Finance is required to use 50% of its “Excess Cash Flow” to prepay the term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (which percentage will be reduced to 25% at a total leverage ratio of 4.50 to 5.49 and to 0% at a total leverage ratio below 4.50). As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a total leverage ratio of 4.21. Excess Cash Flow is defined as consolidated net income (as defined), as adjusted for certain items, including (1) all non-cash charges and credits included in arriving at consolidated net income, (2) changes in working capital, (3) capital expenditures (to the extent they were not financed with debt), (4) the aggregate amount of principal payments on indebtedness and (5) certain other items defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the 2012 reporting year Pinnacle Foods Finance determined that there were no amounts due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In December 2013, Pinnacle Foods Finance will determine if amounts are due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility for the 2013 reporting year.

The term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility mature in quarterly installments of 0.25% of their aggregate funded total principal amount. The aggregate maturities of the Tranche G Term Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are $4.1 million in the remainder of 2013, $16.3 million in 2014, $16.3 million in 2015, $16.3 million in 2016, $20.4 million in 2017 and $1,552.6 million thereafter.

Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Pinnacle Foods Finance is required to maintain a ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of no greater than 5.75 to 1.00. Net First Lien Secured Debt is defined as aggregate consolidated secured indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, Pinnacle Foods Finance's ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (which is currently the same as the ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA above), in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or to the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recently concluded four consecutive fiscal quarters, in the case of the Senior Notes. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also permits restricted payments up to an aggregate amount of (together with certain other amounts) the greater of $50 million and 2% of Pinnacle Foods Finance's consolidated total assets, so long as no default has occurred and is continuing and its pro forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 4.25 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2013 the Company is in compliance with all covenants and other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

On April 3, 2013, the Company completed its IPO which is further described in Note 1. A portion of the proceeds was used to redeem the entire $465.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 9.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.0%.

On April 29, 2013, as part of the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes (the "4.875% Senior Notes") due 2021.

As a result of the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance used a portion of the proceeds from the Tranche G Term Loans and the 4.875% Senior Notes issuance to redeem $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 8.25% Senior Notes due 2017 at a redemption price of 108.5%.

The 4.875% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Pinnacle Foods Finance, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior secured indebtedness of Pinnacle Foods Finance and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by Pinnacle Foods Finance’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of Pinnacle Foods Finance. See Note 17 for the condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements.

Pinnacle Foods Finance may redeem some or all of the 4.875% Senior Notes at any time prior to May 1, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. The “Applicable Premium” is defined as the greater of (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note and (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such 4.875% Senior Notes at May 1, 2016, plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such 4.875% Senior Notes through May 1, 2016 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate plus 50 basis points over (b) the principal amount of such note.

10. Pension and Retirement Plans

The Company accounts for pension and retirement plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance for retirement benefit compensation. This guidance requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The guidance also requires recognition in accumulated other comprehensive earnings of certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules.

The Company uses a measurement date for the pension benefit plans that coincides with its year end.

The Company has two defined benefit plans (Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan and the Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan, both of which are frozen for future benefit accruals as of December 30, 2012), two qualified 401(k) plans, two non-qualified 40l(k) plans and participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan.

Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan

The Company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan”) that covers eligible union employees and provides benefits generally based on years of service and employees’ compensation. The plan is frozen for future benefits. The Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations. Plan assets consist principally of cash equivalents, equity and fixed income common collective trusts. Plan assets do not include any of the Company’s own equity or debt securities.

The following represents the components of net periodic (benefit) cost:

	Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan

Cash Flows

Contributions. Due to changes in Federal laws passed in July 2012  governing pension funding requirements, our required payments for pension funding are lower in fiscal 2013 than they were in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2013, the Company expects to make contributions of $2.7 million to the Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan, of which minimum required payments of $0.7 million and $0.8 million were made in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company made contributions to the pension plan totaling $4.1 million in fiscal 2012, of which $1.1 million and $2.0 million were made in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively.

Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan

The Company’s Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan (the “Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan”) consists of hourly and salaried employees and has primarily non-contributory defined-benefit schedules. The plan is frozen for future benefits.

The Company acquired an Excess Benefit Retirement Plan from Birds Eye Foods ("EBRP"), which serves to provide employees with the same retirement benefit they would have received from Birds Eye’s retirement plan under the career average base pay formula. Benefits for this plan are frozen. Also, the Company maintains a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which provides additional retirement benefits to two prior executives of Birds Eye Foods who retired prior to November 4, 1994. Expenses and liabilities for the EBRP and the SERP plan are grouped with those of the Birds Eye Pension Plan in all disclosures listed herein.

The benefits for these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of Federal laws and regulations. Plan assets consist principally of cash equivalents, equity and fixed income common collective trusts. Plan assets do not include any of the Company’s own equity or debt securities.

Contributions. Due to changes in Federal laws passed in July 2012  governing pension funding requirements, our required payments for pension funding are lower in fiscal 2013 than they were in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2013, the Company expects to make contributions of $5.2 million to the Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan, of which minimum required payments of $1.4 million and $1.6 million were made in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company made contributions to the pension plan totaling $8.4 million in fiscal 2012, of which $1.9 million and $3.7 million were made in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively.

Multi-employer Plans

Pinnacle contributes to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Industry Pension Fund (EIN 51-6055922) (the "UFCW Plan") under the terms of the collective-bargaining agreement with its Fort Madison employees. On February 14, 2013, a new four year collective bargaining agreement, effective through September 2016, was ratified by our 450 Fort Madison union employees.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, contributions to the UFCW Plan were $246 and $435, respectively. For the three and six months and June 24, 2012, contributions to the UFCW Plan were $187 and $371, respectively. The contributions to this plan are paid monthly based upon the number of employees. They represent less than 5% of the total contributions received by this plan during the most recent plan year.

The risks of participating in multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (a) assets contributed to a multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (b) if a participating employer stops contributing to the multi-employer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers and (c) if the Company chooses to stop participating in the plan, the Company may be required to pay a withdrawal liability based on the underfunded status of the plan.

The UFCW Plan received a Pension Protection Act “green” zone status for the plan year ending June 30, 2012. The zone status is based on information the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The UFCW Plan did not utilize any extended amortization provisions that effect its placement in the "green" zone. The UFCW Plan has never been required to implement a funding improvement plan nor is one pending at this time.

11. Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices.

The Company manages interest rate risk based on the varying circumstances of anticipated borrowings and existing variable and fixed rate debt, including the Company’s revolving credit facility. Examples of interest rate management strategies include capping interest rates using targeted interest cost benchmarks, hedging portions of the total amount of debt, or hedging a period of months and not always hedging to maturity, and at other times locking in rates to fix interests costs.

Certain parts of the Company’s foreign operations in Canada expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s goal is to reduce its exposure to such foreign exchange risks on its foreign currency cash flows and fair value fluctuations on recognized foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments to acceptable levels primarily through the use of foreign exchange-related derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency. The Company does not enter into these transactions for non-hedging purposes.

The Company purchases raw materials in quantities expected to be used in a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. The Company generally enters into agreements for either spot market delivery or forward delivery. The prices paid in the forward delivery contracts are generally fixed, but may also be variable within a capped or collared price range. Forward derivative contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

The second quarter 2013 IPO (Note 1) and debt refinancings (Note 9) resulted in significant changes to the Company's debt profile. For the two $650 million interest rate swaps in place at the time that were scheduled to mature April 2014, it became probable that the associated original forecasted transactions would not occur. As such, the Company discontinued hedge accounting and accelerated the reclassification of amounts in AOCL to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur. In the second quarter 2013, these accelerated amounts resulted in a $2.8 million charge to interest expense ($1.7 million, net of tax benefits) and a $9.1 million non-cash charge to the provision for income tax expenses related to the release of deferred tax charges recorded in Other comprehensive income (see Note 15 for additional details). Prospective changes in the fair value of these derivatives no longer designated in hedging relationships will be recorded directly in earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts and where noted in millions)

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Current Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Range	Index	Trade Dates	Maturity Dates
Interest Rate Swaps	14	$	1,333,000	0.76% - 2.97%	USD-LIBOR-BBA	Apr 2013	Apr 2014 - Apr 2020

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts reported in AOCL related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $304 will be reclassified as an increase to Interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company’s operations in Canada expose the Company to changes in the U.S. Dollar – Canadian Dollar ("USD-CAD") foreign exchange rate. From time to time, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary purchases inventory denominated in U.S. Dollars ("USD"), a currency other than its functional currency. The subsidiary sells that inventory in Canadian dollars. The subsidiary uses currency forward and collar agreements to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. Currency collar agreements involve the sale of Canadian Dollar ("CAD") currency in exchange for receiving U.S. dollars if exchange rates rise above an agreed upon rate and purchase of USD currency in exchange for paying CAD currency if exchange rates fall below an agreed upon rate at specified dates.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following foreign currency exchange contracts (in aggregate) that were designated as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Notional Sold in Aggregate in ("CAD")		Notional Purchased in Aggregate in ("USD")		USD to CAD Exchange Rates	Trade Date	Maturity Dates
CAD Forward	7	$	25,850	$	26,118	0.987 - 0.993	Sep 2012	Jul 2013 - Dec 2013

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCL in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recognized directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-designated Hedges of Commodity Risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk but do not meet the authoritative guidance for hedge accounting. From time to time, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of natural gas, diesel fuel, corn, wheat and soybean oil purchases and other commodities at a future delivery date. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Credit risk-related contingent features

The Company has agreements with certain counterparties that contain a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached this provision at June 30, 2013, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value, which differs from the recorded fair value. The table below summarizes the aggregate fair values of those derivatives that contain credit risk-related contingent features as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012.

15. Taxes on Earnings

The provision (benefit) for income taxes and related effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively, were as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes	June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012			June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012
Current	$	774		$	(736	)	$	1,494		$	158
Deferred	(5,549		)	(7,199		)	8,953			(2,016		)
Total	$	(4,775	)	$	(7,935	)	$	10,447		$	(1,858	)
Effective tax rate	13.0		%	42.9		%	306.9		%	64.5		%

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their financial statement basis and tax basis, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company refinanced all of its outstanding debt (Note 9) and the Company discontinued hedge accounting for interest rate swaps in effect at that time (Note 11). Effective with the swap termination, deferred tax expense of $9.1 million, which was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss through the swap termination date, was reclassified as a non-cash deferred tax expense in the provision for income taxes through the consolidated statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, the Company announced restructuring plans (Note 8) that were projected to decrease our future state effective tax rate, resulting in a net benefit of $2.1 million to the tax provision and a corresponding decrease to our net deferred tax liabilities.

The Company regularly evaluates its deferred tax assets for future realization.  A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that some portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company's tax provision in the period of change.

As of June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, the Company maintained a valuation allowance for certain state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers, state tax credit carryovers and foreign loss carryovers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 a benefit of $1.5 million was recognized to the income tax provision for reduction of the valuation allowance for state NOL carryovers and state credits attributable to a projected decrease of interest expense from the IPO and the April 2013 refinancing. For the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, a charge of $1.9 million was recognized to the income tax provision, principally related to the realizability of state NOL carryovers and state credits due to the aforementioned restructuring plans.

16.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2013-02”). This new guidance requires that the Company present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance only impacts disclosures within the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements and does not result in a change to the accounting treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Company adopted this standard during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” (“ASU 2013-11”). The update provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. The Company will adopt this standard in December 2013. The Company anticipates that adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(dollars in millions, except where noted)

You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition together with the audited consolidated financial statements appearing in our prospectus filed with the SEC on March 28, 2013 and the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our prospectus filed with the SEC on March 28, 2013, and the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this report. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of high quality, branded food products in North America. We manage the business in three operating segments: Birds Eye Frozen, Duncan Hines Grocery and Specialty Foods.

Our Birds Eye Frozen Division manages our Leadership Brands in the United States retail frozen vegetables (Birds Eye), frozen complete bagged meals (Birds Eye Voila!), and frozen prepared seafood (Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's) categories, as well as our Foundation Brands in the full-calorie single-serve frozen dinners and entrées (Hungry-Man), frozen pancakes / waffles / French Toast (Aunt Jemima), frozen and refrigerated bagels (Lender's) and frozen pizza for one (Celeste) categories.

Our Duncan Hines Grocery Division manages our Leadership Brands in the baking mixes and frostings (Duncan Hines), shelf-stable pickles (Vlasic), and table syrups (Mrs. Butterworth's and Log Cabin) categories, and our Foundation Brands in the canned meat (Armour, Nalley and Brooks), pie and pastry fillings (Comstock and Wilderness), barbecue sauces (Open Pit) and salad dressing (Bernstein's) categories as well as all Canadian operations.

We refer to the sum of our Birds Eye Frozen Division and our Duncan Hines Grocery Division as our North American retail businesses.

Our Specialty Foods Division consists of snack products (Tim's Cascade and Snyder of Berlin) and our foodservice and private label businesses.

Within our divisions, we actively manage our portfolio by segregating our business into Leadership Brands and Foundation Brands. Our Leadership Brands enjoy a combination of higher growth, greater potential for value-added innovation and enhanced responsiveness to consumer marketing than do our Foundation Brands and, as a result, we focus our brand-building activities on our Leadership Brands. By contrast, we manage our Foundation Brands for revenue and market share stability and for cash flow generation to support investment in our Leadership Brands, reduce our debt and fund other corporate priorities. As a result, we focus spending for our Foundation Brands on brand renovation and targeted consumer and trade programs.

We use market share data provided by Information Resources Inc. ("IRI"), previously Symphony IRI Group, Inc. This data now includes Wal-Mart and other retailers not previously measured in addition to traditional supermarkets. Retail sales are dollar sales estimated by IRI and represent the value of units sold through cash registers for the relevant period. Market share is the Company's percentage of the overall category and is calculated using dollar retail sales of U.S. brands.

Segment performance is evaluated by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker and is based on earnings before interest and taxes. Transfers between segments and geographic areas are recorded at cost plus markup or at market. Identifiable assets are those assets, including goodwill, which are identified with the operations in each segment or geographic region. Corporate assets consist of prepaid and deferred tax assets. Unallocated corporate expenses consist of corporate overhead such as executive management and finance and legal functions. Product contribution is defined as gross profit less direct to consumer advertising and marketing expenses, selling commission and direct brand marketing overhead expenses.

Business Drivers and Measures

In operating our business and monitoring its performance, we pay attention to trends in the food manufacturing industry and a number of performance measures and operational factors. The industry has experienced volatility in overall commodity prices over the past five years. The industry has managed this commodity inflation by increasing retail prices, which has affected consumer buying patterns and led to lower volumes in many categories. The overall food industry continues to face top line challenges, with overall volume softness and a more challenging environment to fully pass on price increases due to weak consumer demand.

Industry Trends

Growth in our industry is driven primarily by population growth, changes in product selling prices and changes in consumption between out-of-home and in-home eating. With the slow economic recovery since the recession in 2008 and 2009, consumers are looking for value alternatives, which has caused an increase in the percentage of products sold on promotion and a shift from traditional retail grocery to mass merchandisers, club stores and the dollar store channel. We are well positioned in grocery and alternative channels, maintaining strong customer relationships across key retailers in each division.

Over the long term, the share of food consumed at restaurants and in other foodservice venues had been increasing, with the share of food consumed at home in decline. During the 2008-09 recession, this trend reversed, with consumers eating more at home. Recently, the industry has experienced a decline in the volume of food consumed at home, yet away from home eating venues have not experienced corresponding volume increases.

During 2012 and 2013, the industry shifted investment spending to trade promotions during a period of heightened competitive activity and significant consumer price sensitivity.

In order to maintain and grow our business, we must successfully react to, and offer products that respond to, evolving consumer trends, such as changing health trends and focus on convenience and products tailored for busy lifestyles. Incremental growth in the industry is principally driven by product and packaging innovation.

Revenue Factors

Our net sales are driven principally by the following factors:

• Gross sales, which change as a function of changes in volume and list price; and

• the costs that we deduct from gross sales to reach net sales, which consist of:

◦ Cash discounts, returns and other allowances.

◦ Trade marketing expenses, which include the cost of temporary price reductions (“on sale” prices), promotional displays and advertising space in store circulars.

◦ New product distribution (slotting) expenses, which are the costs of having certain retailers stock a new product, including amounts retailers charge for updating their warehousing systems, allocating shelf space and in-store systems set-up, among other things.

◦ Consumer coupon redemption expenses, which are costs from the redemption of coupons we circulate as part of our marketing efforts.

Cost Factors

Costs recorded in Cost of products sold in the consolidated statement of operations include:

◦ Raw materials, such as sugar, cucumbers, broccoli, corn, peas, green beans, carrots, flour (wheat), poultry, seafood, vegetable oils, shortening, meat and corn syrup, among others, are available from numerous independent suppliers but are subject to price fluctuations due to a number of factors, including changes in crop size, federal and state agricultural programs, export demand, weather conditions and insects, among others.

◦ Packaging costs. Our broad array of products entails significant costs for packaging and is subject to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, glass jars, plastic trays, corrugated fiberboard, and plastic packaging materials.

◦ Conversion costs, which include all costs necessary to convert raw materials into finished product. Key components of this cost include direct labor, and plant overhead such as rent, utilities and depreciation.

51

◦ Freight and distribution. We use a combination of common carriers and inter-modal rail to transport our products from our manufacturing facilities to distribution centers and to deliver products to our customers from both those centers and directly from our manufacturing plants. Our freight and distribution costs are influenced by fuel costs as well as capacity within the industry.

Costs recorded in marketing and selling expenses in the consolidated statement of operations include:

◦ Advertising and other marketing expenses. These expenses represent advertising and other consumer and trade-oriented marketing programs. A key strategy is to continue to invest in marketing and public relations that builds brand affinity for our Leadership Brands.

◦ Brokerage commissions and other overhead expenses.

Working Capital

Our working capital is primarily driven by accounts receivable and inventories, which fluctuate throughout the year due to seasonality in both sales and production. See “Seasonality.” We will continue to focus on reducing our working capital requirements while simultaneously maintaining our customer service levels and fulfilling our production requirements. We have historically relied on internally generated cash flows and temporary borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to satisfy our working capital requirements.

Other Factors

Other factors that have influenced our results of operations and may do so in the future include:

• Interest Expense. Our recent IPO and debt refinancings (the "April 2013 Refinancing") have significantly reduced our leverage and our expected future interest expense. See Note 1 and Note 9 to the Financial Statements for further details. However, as a result of the Blackstone Transaction and the Birds Eye Foods Acquisition, we still have significant indebtedness. Although we expect to continue to reduce our leverage over time, we expect interest expense to continue to be a significant, although much less than before, component of our expenses. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

• Cash Taxes. We have significant tax-deductible intangible asset amortization and federal and state NOLs, which resulted in minimal federal and state cash taxes in recent years. We expect to pay minimal federal and state taxes through 2015.

• Acquisitions and Consolidations. We believe we have the expertise to identify and integrate value-enhancing acquisitions to further grow our business. We have successfully integrated acquisitions in the past. We have, however, incurred significant costs in connection with integrating these businesses and streamlining our operations.

• Impairment of Goodwill, Tradenames and Long-Lived Assets. We test our goodwill and intangible assets annually or more frequently (if necessary) for impairment and have recorded impairment charges in recent years. The value of goodwill and intangibles from the allocation of purchase price from the Blackstone Transaction and the Birds Eye Acquisition is derived from our business operating plans at that time and is therefore susceptible to an adverse change that could require an impairment charge. We have incurred impairment charges in each of the fiscal years ended on December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011, the amounts of which are discussed in greater detail in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our prospectus that was filed on March 28, 2013.

Seasonality

Our sales and cash flows are affected by seasonal cyclicality. Sales of frozen foods, including frozen vegetables and frozen complete bagged meals tend to be marginally higher during the winter months. Seafood sales peak during Lent, in advance of the Easter holiday. Sales of pickles, relishes, barbecue sauces, potato chips and salad dressings tend to be higher in the spring and summer months, and demand for Duncan Hines products, Birds Eye vegetables and our pie and pastry fruit fillings tend to be higher around the Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays. Since many of the raw materials we process under the Birds Eye,Vlasic, Comstock and Wilderness brands are agricultural crops, production of these products is predominantly seasonal, occurring during and immediately following the purchase of such crops. We also increase our Duncan Hines inventories in advance of the peak fall selling season. As a result, our inventory levels tend to be higher during August, September, and October, and thus we require more working capital during these months. We are a seasonal net user of cash in the third quarter of the calendar year.

52

Restructuring Charges

From time to time, we voluntarily undertake consolidation and restructuring activities in order to optimize our manufacturing footprint, reduce our supply chain costs and increase organizational effectiveness.

Pickle supply chain improvements

On May 25, 2012, we announced plans to further improve the efficiency of our supply chain by consolidating our Vlasic pickle production into one plant in Imlay City, MI. Our decision to focus on our branded Vlasic business and de-emphasize our lower-margin, un-branded pickle business was the catalyst for this consolidation. Our pickle production plant, located in Millsboro, DE ended production at year-end 2012. We recorded employee termination costs of $1.3 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. We recorded asset retirement obligation charges of $0.8 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. In addition, we recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $1.7 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. As a result of exiting the lower-margin un-branded pickle business, we terminated the use of a third party ingredients storage facility in the third quarter of 2012. In doing so, we recorded contract termination fees that were paid in July 2013. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Millsboro, DE plant are recorded in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Green Bay, WI Research Facility

On May 15, 2012, we announced plans to relocate the Birds Eye Frozen Division Research and Development team from Green Bay, WI to our new facility at our Parsippany, NJ headquarters. We believe that the relocation will allow for seamless collaboration between marketing, sales, procurement and R&D that will drive superior brand innovation, marketing and productivity. We closed our Green Bay, WI research facility in December 2012. We recorded employee termination costs of $0.7 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. In addition, we recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Green Bay, WI research facility are recorded in the Birds Eye Frozen Division and in the Research and development line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fulton, NY Plant

On April 15, 2011, we announced plans to consolidate the Birds Eye Frozen Division's Fulton, NY plant operations into our Darien, WI and Waseca, MN facilities in order to locate vegetable processing closer to the crop-growing region and thus reduce the related freight costs. In connection with this project, we made significant capital investments in our Darien, WI and Waseca, MN plants. We recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $0.5 million and $2.3 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Fulton, NY plant were recorded in the Birds Eye Frozen Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Severance costs were accrued in the second quarter of 2011 and payments were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2012. On January 13, 2013, the sale of the Fulton location was finalized for total net proceeds of $0.9 million.

Tacoma, WA Plant

On December 3, 2010, in an effort to improve our supply chain operations, we announced the closure of the Tacoma, WA plant and the consolidation of production into our Fort Madison, IA plant. We recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $0.0 million and $0.3 million in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Tacoma, WA plant were recorded in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Severance costs were accrued in the fourth quarter of 2010 and payments were substantially completed in the second quarter of 2012. Our Tacoma, WA location was sold in July 2013 for net proceeds of $5.1 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 24, 2012

Net sales

Net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $569.0 million, a decline of 3.3%, reflecting higher net pricing of 1.5%, more than offset by a 4.8% decrease from volume/mix.

Net sales in our North American retail businesses were $482.8 million, a decrease of 1.6% in the second quarter, reflecting higher net pricing of 1.6%, more than offset by a 3.2% decrease from volume/mix. Approximately one half of the net sales decline was attributable to the timing impact of the earlier Easter holiday in 2013, which accelerated sales across our portfolio into the first quarter, as well as the continuing impact of overall volume softness in the food industry which weighed on our results for the quarter.

Birds Eye Frozen Division:

Net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased 1.2% versus year ago to $244.0 million, reflecting higher net pricing of 3.3%, partially offset by a 2.1% decrease from volume/mix. The earlier timing of Easter this year reduced the net sales comparison by approximately 0.7%. The increase is primarily attributable to strong sales of Birds Eye Voila!, which included the Chipotle Chicken line extension introduced during the first quarter and Mrs. Paul's and Van de Kamp's seafood products, driven by Spicy Fish Fillet Sandwiches introduced last quarter, partially offset by decreased Aunt Jemima breakfast productsales resulting from a heightened promotional environment. The period also benefited from the introduction of our Recipe Ready line of Birds Eye frozen vegetables, a new line of pre-chopped and blended vegetables designed to enable faster preparation of top meal dishes.

Duncan Hines Grocery Division:

Net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $238.8 million, a decline of 4.3%, reflecting lower net pricing of 0.2% in addition to a 4.1% decrease from volume/mix. Approximately 0.6% of the net sales decline was due to the earlier timing of Easter in 2013. Positive contributions to the quarter included higher sales of our Mrs. Butterworth's and Log Cabin syrups due to increased investment in promotions and merchandising. Additionally, increased sales of our Comstock and Wilderness pie/pastry fruit fillings, in addition to strong sales from our Canadian subsidiary were more than offset by lower sales of our Duncan Hines frostings line of products, due to heightened competitive activity and comparison against last year's introduction of Duncan Hines Frosting Creations and lower sales of Vlasic pickles, due to comparison against a larger seasonal retail inventory build in the year ago quarter.

Specialty Foods Division:

Net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $86.2 million, a decline of 12.0%, reflecting a 13.3% decrease from volume/mix, partially offset by higher net pricing of 1.3%. Lower sales in the division were primarily driven by our planned exit of the lower margin un-branded pickle business in addition to lower sales of private label canned meat.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $144.4 million, or 25.4% of net sales, compared to $132.2 million, or 22.5% of net sales, in the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was largely driven by improved plant productivity and higher net price realization, primarily resulting from the shift to the first quarter of promotions due to the timing of the Easter holiday, which were partially offset by higher input costs. Also benefiting gross profit was $2.9 million of lower restructuring charges and restructuring-related expenses.

The following table outlines the factors affecting gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Marketing and selling expenses

Marketing and selling expenses of $47.5 million, or 8.3% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were comparable to $48.2 million, or 8.2% of net sales for the prior year period. Higher business optimization expenses related to the expansion of direct sales coverage for retailer headquarters to more than fifty percent of our U.S. retail business, equity based compensation and other charges of $3.9 million impacted the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses were $45.3 million, or 8.0% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $24.1 million, or 4.1% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period. The increase was principally related to $18.5 million in charges from the termination at the IPO date of the advisory agreement previously in place with Blackstone. Also impacting Administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was an additional $1.8 million of equity based compensation. Excluding items affecting comparability from both years, Administrative expense increased by $2.2 million compared to the prior year period.

Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses were $2.8 million, or 0.5% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $3.3 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by $0.8 million less expense in the current period related to the 2012 consolidation of research and development activities of our Birds Eye Frozen Division at our Parsippany, NJ headquarters.

On May 10, 2013, as part of a debt refinancing (the "April 2013 Refinancing") the Company redeemed all $400.0 million of its outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 108.5% of the aggregate principal amount at a premium of $34.2 million. In 2012, on April 19, as part of a debt refinancing (the "2012 Refinancing") the Company redeemed all $199.0 million of its outstanding 10.625% Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 105.313% of the aggregate principal amount at a premium of $10.6 million. On June 5, 2012, the Company repurchased and retired $10.0 million of 9.25% Senior Notes at a price of 102.125% of the aggregate principal amount at a premium of $0.2 million. For more information on the 2012 Refinancing see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Debt and Interest Expense.

Earnings before interest and taxes

Earnings before interest and taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $11.0 million, a decline of $31.0 million, or 73.9% as compared to the prior year period. The primary driver of the decrease was $52.7 million of charges related to the early extinguishment of debt and the IPO related termination of the advisory agreement with Blackstone as compared to $11.9 million of refinancing and other charges in the comparable prior year period. Also equity-based compensation expense increased $2.9 million. Partially offsetting these are lower restructuring charges of $1.8 million and lower non-cash mark to market charges of $3.0 million, as compared to the second quarter of 2012. Excluding these items, Earnings before interest and taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $8.1 million, or 12.3%, compared to the prior year period.

Birds Eye Frozen Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes increased 22.1%, or $6.6 million, versus year-ago to $36.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily reflecting higher gross profit, driven by productivity savings and higher net pricing. Earnings before interest and taxes were also impacted by charges of $1.0 million in the second quarters of 2012, related to our Fulton, NY plant consolidation project.

Duncan Hines Grocery Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes increased 21.3%, or $5.2 million, versus year-ago to $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily reflecting lower commodity costs and ongoing productivity programs. Earnings before interest and taxes were also impacted by charges of $2.1 million and $4.1 million in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to our Millsboro, DE and Tacoma, WA plant consolidation projects.

Specialty Foods Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes decreased 7.4%, or $0.4 million, versus year ago to $4.9 million, primarily reflecting lower private label canned meat sales.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense declined 21.3%, or $12.9 million, to $47.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $60.5 million in the three months ended June 24, 2012. Included in net interest expenses in both periods are charges associated with our 2013 refinancing and our 2012 refinancing. These items which total $22.5 million in 2013 and $14.8 million in 2012 are described below. Excluding these items from both periods, net interest expense declined by $20.6 million principally related to lower interest expense of $15.7 million related to lower outstanding balances as well as lower interest rates on our Notes and $3.7 million lower expense on interest rate swap agreements. Also, interest rates on bank borrowings under Term Loan G are lower than a year ago.

Our 2013 refinancing included using the net proceeds of $623.9 million ($667.0 million of gross proceeds net of $43.1 million of underwriting discounts and other fees) from our April 3, 2013 IPO along with cash on hand to redeem all $465.0 million of our 9.25% Senior Notes on April 15, 2013 and to repay $202.0 million of Tranche B Term Loans. In addition, on April 29, 2013, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provided for the issuance of $1.63 billion of Tranche G Term Loans due 2020 and the extension of the due date of our revolving credit facility to 2018. The proceeds were used to repay all previous outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. This refinancing resulted in our recognizing approximately $22.5 million of charges to interest expense during the second quarter of 2013. The charges recognized consisted of $14.9 million of existing deferred financing costs and original issue discounts as well as $4.8 million of new costs incurred in connection with the transaction that were recorded directly to interest expense and a $2.8 million charge resulting from the de-designation and termination of interest rate swaps.

58

Our 2012 refinancing involved the Company entering into an amended and restated credit agreement on April 17, 2012, which provided for the extension of certain Tranche B Term Loans and our Revolving Credit facility, the repayment of our Tranche D term loans and the issuance of a new Tranche E term loan. In connection with this refinancing, we also redeemed all of our outstanding 10.625% Senior Subordinated Notes. This refinancing resulted in our recognizing approximately $14.8 million of charges to interest expense during the second quarter of 2012. The charges recognized consisted of $7.3 million of write downs of existing deferred financing costs and original issue discounts as well as $7.5 million of new costs incurred in connection with the transaction that were recorded directly to interest expense.

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to reduce the potential exposure to interest rate movements and to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt. Any gains or losses realized on the interest rate swap agreements, excluding the Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) earnings (“AOCL”) portion, are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. Included in net interest expense was $0.1 million and $3.8 million for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, recorded from losses on interest rate swap agreements.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

The effective tax rate was 13.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 42.9% for the three months ended June 24, 2012.  The effective rate difference is primarily driven by the Company discontinuing hedge accounting at the time of the April 2013 Refinancing for interest rate swaps in effect at that time (Note 11). Accordingly, changes to the fair value and associated tax effects accumulated in other comprehensive income were recognized to the statement of operations during the second quarter of 2013, resulting in a $9.1 million non-cash deferred tax charge to the provision for income taxes. Comparatively, the effective rate difference for the prior year primarily resulted from a $1.9 million increase in the valuation allowance due to restructuring activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, and June 24, 2012 we maintained a valuation allowance against certain state net operating loss carryovers, state tax credit carryovers and foreign loss carryovers. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Income Taxes.

Under Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”) Section 382, the Company is a loss corporation. Section 382 of the Code places limitations on our ability to use a portion of our NOL carryovers to offset income. The annual Federal NOL limitation that applies to a portion of our NOLs is approximately $17.0 million to $23.0 million, subject to other rules and restrictions. The Company also has available unencumbered NOLs that are expected to be utilized. Our NOLs and certain other tax attributes generated prior to December 23, 2009 may not be utilized to offset Birds Eye income from recognized built-in gains through December 2014, pursuant to Section 384 of the Code.

We have significant tax-deductible intangible asset amortization and federal and state NOLs, which resulted in minimal federal and state cash taxes in recent years. We expect to pay minimal federal and state taxes through 2015.

Six months endedJune 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 24, 2012

Net sales

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $1,182.0 million, a decline of 1.9%, compared to net sales of $1,205.5 million in the comparable prior year period, primarily resulting from a decline in our Specialty Division as we continue to focus on our branded retail business. The decline reflected higher net pricing of 0.9%, more than offset by a 2.8% decrease from volume/mix.

Net sales in our North American retail businesses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were flat at $1,002.5 million, compared to net sales of $1,003.2 million in the comparable prior year period, reflecting higher net pricing of 0.9%, offset by a 0.9% decrease from volume/mix.

Birds Eye Frozen Division:

Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased 0.9% versus year-ago to $536.5 million, reflecting higher net pricing of 1.6%, partially offset by a 0.7% decrease from volume/mix. The increase is primarily attributable to strong sales of Birds EyeVoila!, which included the Chipotle Chicken line extension introduced during the first quarterand Lender's bagels, partially offset by decreased Birds Eye Steamfresh vegetablessales resulting from a heightened promotional environment and lower Aunt Jemima breakfast product sales. The period also benefited from the introduction of our new Recipe Ready line of Birds Eye frozen vegetables, a new 20-item line of pre-chopped and blended vegetables designed to enable faster preparation of top meal dishes.

Duncan Hines Grocery Division:

Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $466.0 million, a decrease of 1.2%, reflecting a 1.3% decrease from volume/mix partially offset by higher net pricing of 0.1%. Higher sales of our Mrs. Butterworth's, Log Cabin and Country Kitchen syrups, Comstock and Wilderness pie/pastry fruit fillings, in addition to increased sales from our Canadian subsidiary were more than offset by lower sales of our Duncan Hines frostingsline of products due to heightened competitive activity and comparison against last year's introduction of Duncan Hines Frosting Creations.

Specialty Foods Division:

Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $179.5 million, a decline of 11.3%, reflecting a 11.9% decrease from volume/mix, partially offset by higher net pricing of 0.6%. Consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2013 the decrease was primarily attributable to our planned exit of the lower margin un-branded pickle business in addition to lower sales of private label canned meat.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $299.2 million, or 25.3% of net sales, compared to $267.8 million, or 22.2% of net sales, in the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was largely driven by improved plant productivity, favorable product mix and higher net price realization, primarily resulting from the planned lower new product introduction costs which were partially offset by higher input costs. Also benefiting gross profit was $4.6 million of lower restructuring charges and restructuring-related expenses.

Marketing and selling expenses were $93.1 million, or 7.9% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $92.2 million, or 7.6% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period. We continue to focus our consumer oriented marketing such as advertising on our leadership brands, such as Birds Eye frozen vegetables and Duncan Hines. Higher business optimization expenses related to the expansion of direct sales coverage for retailer headquarters to more than fifty percent of our U.S. retail business, equity based compensation and other charges of $5.4 million impacted the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Administrative expenses

The increase was principally related to $18.5 million in charges from the termination at the IPO date, of the advisory agreement previously in place with Blackstone. Additionally, for the period ended June 30, 2013, there was an additional $1.8 million of equity based compensation. Excluding items affecting comparability from both years, Administrative expense increased $4.4 million compared to the prior year period.

Research and development expenses:

Earnings before interest and taxes

Earnings before interest and taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $91.6 million, a decline of $15.5 million, or 14.5% as compared to the prior year period. The primary driver of the decrease was $53.4 million of charges related to the early extinguishment of debt and the IPO related termination and ongoing fees of the advisory agreement with Blackstone as compared to $13.1 million in the comparable prior year period. Also equity based compensation increased $2.8 million. Partially offsetting these are lower restructering charges of $2.0 million, lower non-cash mark to market charges of $1.0 million and $2.8 million less of other items affecting comparability as compared to 2012. Excluding these items, Earnings before interest and taxes increased $21.7 million, or 15.7%, primarily driven by increased gross profit.

Birds Eye Frozen Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes increased 27.3%, or $18.3 million, versus year-ago to $85.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily reflecting higher gross profit, driven by higher net pricing and ongoing productivity savings including the benefit from the closure of our Fulton, NY plant partially offset by higher input costs. Earnings before interest and taxes were also impacted by charges of $0.1 million and $4.8 million in the first half of 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to our Fulton, NY plant consolidation project and consolidating research and development activities at our Parsippany, NJ location.

Duncan Hines Grocery Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes were $59.1 million, an increase of 16.4%, primarily reflecting lower commodity costs and ongoing productivity programs.

Specialty Foods Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes increased 7.6%, or $0.9 million, versus year ago to $13.1 million, primarily driven by improved plant productivity, despite lower private label canned meat sales.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense declined 19.8%, or $21.9 million, to $88.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $110.1 million in the six months ended June 24, 2012. Included in net interest expense in both periods are charges associated with our 2013 refinancing and our 2012 refinancing. These items which total $22.5 million in 2013 and $14.8 million in 2012 are described below. Excluding these items from both periods, net interest expense declined by $29.5 million principally related to lower interest expense of $24.7 million from Notes due to to lower outstanding balances as well as lower interest rates and $7.0 million due to lower expense on interest rate swap agreements.

Our 2013 refinancing included using the net proceeds of $623.9 million ($667.0 million of gross proceeds net of $43.1 million of underwriting discounts) from our April 3, 2013 IPO along with cash on hand to redeem all $465.0 million of our 9.25% Senior Notes on April 15, 2013 and to repay $202.0 million of Tranche B Term Loans.

Included in net interest expense was $0.9 million and $7.9 million for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, recorded from losses on interest rate swap agreements.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

The effective tax rate was 306.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 64.5% for the six months ended June 24, 2012.  The effective rate difference is primarily driven by the Company discontinuing hedge accounting at the time of the April 2013 Refinancing for interest rate swaps in effect at that time (Note 11).

Our NOLs and certain other tax attributes generated prior to December 23, 2009 may not be utilized to offset Birds Eye income from recognized built-in gains through December 2014, pursuant to Section 384 of the Code.

We have significant tax-deductible intangible asset amortization and federal and state NOLs, which resulted in minimal federal and state cash taxes in recent years. We expect to pay minimal federal and state taxes through 2015.

Liquidity and capital resources

Historical

Our cash flows are seasonal. Typically we are a net user of cash in the third quarter of the calendar year (i.e., the quarter ending in September) and a net generator of cash over the balance of the year.

Our principal liquidity requirements have been, and we expect will be, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and debt service. In addition, subsequent to the IPO, the Company announced its quarterly dividend program. Currently, the quarterly payment is $0.18 per share or approximately $21 million. Two quarterly dividends will be paid in 2013 (July and October). Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $80 to $90 million in 2013, which include approximately $7 million related to our facility restructuring projects. We have historically satisfied our liquidity requirements with internally generated cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We expect that our ability to generate cash from our operations and ability to borrow from our credit facilities should be sufficient to support working capital needs, planned growth and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. We keep an insignificant amount of cash in foreign accounts, primarily related to the operations of our Canadian business. Tax liabilities related to bringing these funds back into the United States would not be significant and have been accrued. Our recent IPO and refinancing has significantly reduced interest expense and improved our maturity profile.

Statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 24, 2012

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net of all activities resulted in an increase in cash of $24.2 million compared to a decrease in cash of $128.3 million for the six months ended June 24, 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $112.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and was the result of net earnings, excluding non-cash charges and credits, of $95.3 million and a decrease in working capital of $16.8 million. The decrease in working capital was primarily the result of a $69.1 million decrease in inventories resulting from the sell-down of the seasonal inventory build from December 2012. These were offset by a a $13.2 million decrease in accrued liabilities primarily attributable to lower interest payable resulting from the refinancings and pay downs, $5.4 million increase in accounts receivable driven by the timing of sales, a $21.1 million decrease in accounts payable driven by the timing of our inventory purchases and a $8.0 million decrease in accrued trade marketing expense driven by the seasonality of our marketing programs. The aging profile of accounts receivable has not changed significantly from December 2012. All other working capital accounts generated a net $4.7 million cash outflow.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $67.7 million for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and was the result of net earnings, excluding non-cash charges and credits, of $69.3 million and an increase in working capital of $1.6 million. The increase in working capital was primarily the result of a seasonal decrease of $25.0 million in accounts payable driven by lower inventory levels and a $6.1 million decrease in accrued trade marketing expense driven by the timing of our marketing programs. Offsetting these increases in working capital were a seasonal decrease of $26.3 million in inventories and a $6.3 million decrease in accounts receivable driven by the timing of sales. All other working capital accounts increased by $3.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and was primarily related to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2013 included approximately $5.9 million of costs related to our facility consolidation projects. Investing activities also included $1.8 million of proceeds from the sale of assets previously held for sale.

Net cash used in investing activities was $34.7 million for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and was entirely related to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2012 included approximately $2.6 million of costs related to our plant consolidation projects in Millsboro, DE, Tacoma, WA and Fulton, NY.

Net cash used by financing activities was impacted by our April 2013 refinancing, which is explained in greater detail in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $46.0 million and consisted of $1,625.9 million of proceeds from our new Tranche G Term Loan, $623.9 million of proceeds ($667.0 million of gross proceeds net of $43.1 million of underwriting discounts and other fees) from our IPO and $350.0 million of proceeds from our bond offering which were more than offset by $1,732.1 million of term Loan repayments, $899.2 million of repurchases of outstanding notes, $12.5 million of debt acquisition costs and $2.2 million of net capital leases and notes payable activity. All other financing activities generated a net $0.4 million outflow.

64

Net cash used by financing activities was impacted by our April 2012 refinancing, which is explained in greater detail in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 24, 2012 was $161.3 million and consisted of $319.4 million of term loan repayments, $219.8 million of repurchases of outstanding notes, $14.7 million of debt acquisition costs, $2.8 million of net capital leases and notes payable activity, and $0.6 million of equity repurchases. These outflows were partially offset by $396.0 million of proceeds from our new Tranche E Term Loan.

On April 29, 2013, Pinnacle Foods Finance, entered into the second amendment to the amended and restated Senior Secured Credit Facility, which provided for a seven year term loan facility in the amount of $1,630.0 million (the "Tranche G Term Loans") and replaced the existing revolving credit facility with a new five year $150.0 million revolving credit facility. Additionally, Pinnacle Foods Finance issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes (the "4.875% Senior Notes") due 2021.

On April 17, 2012 we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement which extended a portion of our Tranche B Term Loans to 2016, allowed us to borrow on new $400 million Tranche E Term Loans and replace our existing revolving credit facility with a new $150 million revolving credit facility. We used proceeds from the Tranche E Term Loans to pay off all of our outstanding balance of $313.2 million aggregate principal amount of Tranche D Term Loans. On April 19, 2012, we redeemed all $199.0 million of our outstanding 10.625% Senior Subordinated Notes using proceeds from the Tranche E Term Loans along with available cash.

On August 30, 2012, we entered into the first amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement which allowed us to borrow on new $450 million Tranche F Term Loans. The Company used proceeds from the Tranche F Term Loans along with available cash to pay off $300 million of the aggregate principal amount of Tranche B Non Extended Term Loans and $150 million of the aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior Notes. For additional details regarding our debt instruments and our April and September 2012 refinancing, please refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Debt and Interest Expense".

We meet the service requirements on our debt utilizing cash flow generated from operations. In addition to the above facilities, we have a $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which can be used to fund our working capital needs and can also be used to issue up to $50.0 million of letters of credit. There were no borrowings against the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, except in respect of letters of credit as set forth below. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, we had issued approximately $34.0 million and $33.5 million, respectively, of letters of credit under this facility, leaving approximately $116.0 million and $116.5 million, respectively, of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility.

The term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility mature in quarterly installments of 0.25% of their aggregate funded total principal amount. The aggregate maturities of the Tranche G Term Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are $4.1 million in the remainder of 2013, $16.3 million in 2014, $16.3 million in 2015, $16.3 million in 2016, $20.4 million in 2017 and $1,552.6 million thereafter.

66

Under the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to use 50% of our “Excess Cash Flow” to prepay the term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (which percentage will be reduced to 25% at a total leverage ratio of 4.50 to 5.49 and to 0% at a total leverage ratio below 4.50). Excess Cash Flow is defined as consolidated net income (as defined), as adjusted for certain items, including (1) all non-cash charges and credits included in arriving at consolidated net income, (2) changes in working capital, (3) capital expenditures (to the extent they were not financed with debt), (4) the aggregate amount of principal payments on indebtedness and (5) certain other items defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the 2012 reporting year we determined that there were no amounts due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In December 2013, we will determine if amounts are due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility for the 2013 reporting year.

As market conditions warrant, we and our subsidiaries, affiliates or significant equity holders (including Blackstone and its affiliates) may from time to time, in our or their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities (including any publicly issued debt or equity securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise.

67

Covenant Compliance

The following is a discussion of the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to:

• incur additional indebtedness and make guarantees;

• create liens on assets;

• engage in mergers or consolidations;

• sell assets;

• pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock;

• make investments, loans and advances, including acquisitions; and

• engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

4.875% Senior Notes

On April 29, 2013, we issued the 4.875% Senior Notes.The Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior secured indebtedness, and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness.

The indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes limits our (and most or all of our subsidiaries’) ability to, subject to certain exceptions:

• incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares;

• pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

• make certain investments;

• sell certain assets;

• create liens on certain assets to secure debt;

• consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and

• designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes permits us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

68

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company's metric of Adjusted EBITDA, which is used in creating targets for the bonus and equity portions of our compensation plans, is equivalent to Covenant Compliance EBITDA under our debt agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of no greater than 5.75 to 1.00. Net First Lien Secured Debt is defined as our aggregate consolidated secured indebtedness secured on a first lien basis, less the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

In addition, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (which is currently the same as the ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA above), in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or to the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recently concluded four consecutive fiscal quarters, in the case of the Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants and other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), further adjusted to exclude non-cash items, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items and other adjustment items permitted in calculating Adjusted EBITDA under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financial covenants.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net earnings or loss or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. In particular, the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture allow us to add back certain non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net earnings or loss. However, these are expenses that vary greatly and are difficult to predict. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

Our ability to meet the covenants specified above in future periods will depend on events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios. A breach of any of these covenants in the future could result in a default under, or an inability to undertake certain activities in compliance with, the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes, at which time the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes.

The following table provides a reconciliation from our net earnings to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, and the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012. The terms and related calculations are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes.

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:

	Covenant Requirement	Actual Ratio
Senior Secured Credit Facility
Net First Lien Leverage Ratio (1)	5.75 to 1.00	3.42
Total Leverage Ratio (2)	Not applicable	4.21
Senior Notes (3)
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio required to incur additional debt pursuant to ratio provisions (4)	2.00 to 1.00	3.00

 _________________

(1) Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of no greater than 5.75 to 1.00. Net First Lien Secured Debt is defined as our aggregate consolidated secured indebtedness secured on a first lien basis, less the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

(2) The Total Leverage Ratio is not a financial covenant but is used to determine the applicable rate under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Total Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated total debt less the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents by Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Our ability to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.

(4) Fixed charges is defined in the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes as (i) consolidated interest expense (excluding specified items) plus consolidated capitalized interest less consolidated interest income, plus (ii) cash dividends and distributions paid on preferred stock or disqualified stock.

Inflation

Historically, inflation did not have a significant effect on us as we had been successful in mitigating the effects of inflation with cost reduction and productivity programs. However inflation became more pronounced in 2011 and 2012, particularly in ingredient costs such as vegetables, flours, shortening/oils, beef, dairy, cocoa, corn sweeteners and energy. In the first half of 2013, inflation was far less pronounced compared to the first half of 2012, and it is expected to be less pronounced over the course of 2013. To the extent possible, we offset inflation with productivity programs. However, we spend approximately $1.1 billion each year on ingredients, therefore each 1% change in our weighted average ingredient costs would increase our Cost of products sold by approximately $11 million. If we experience significant inflation, price increases may be necessary in order to preserve our margins and returns. Severe increases in inflation could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

72

Adjusted Gross Profit

Our management uses Adjusted gross profit as an operating performance measure. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit before accelerated depreciation related to restructuring activities, certain non-cash items, acquisition, merger and other restructuring charges and other adjustments noted in the table below. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted gross profit is useful to investors because it is consistent with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA (defined above), a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. In addition, we also use targets based on Adjusted gross profit as one of the components used to evaluate our management’s performance. Adjusted gross profit is not defined under GAAP, should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for measures of our performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of gross profit as determined under GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation from our gross profit to Adjusted gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, and the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012.

75

Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2013-02”). This new guidance requires that we present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance only impacts disclosures within the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements and does not result in a change to the accounting treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. We adopted this standard during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” (“ASU 2013-11”). The update provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. We will adopt this standard in December 2013. We anticipate that adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have disclosed in "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our prospectus filed on March 28, 2013, those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no material changes to those policies that we consider to be significant since the filing of our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012 on Form 10-K. We believe that the accounting principles utilized in preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements conform in all material respects to GAAP.

76

ITEM 3:     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Strategy

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices. Please refer to Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements "Financial Instruments" for additional details regarding our derivatives and refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements "Debt and Interest Expense" for additional details regarding our debt instruments. There were no significant changes in our exposures to market risk since December 30, 2012.

77

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a level of reasonable assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On April 3 2013, the Company completed the initial public offering of 33,350,000 shares of common stock, including 4,350,000 common shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, at a price of $20.00 per share. The shares of common stock were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-185565). The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013. Barclays Capital Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., BMO Capital Markets Corp., C.L. King & Associates, Inc., Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., Piper Jaffray & Co., Stephens Inc. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated acted as underwriters for the offering.

We registered 33,350,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the initial public offering, including 4,350,000 shares subject to an over-allotment option that we granted to the underwriters. The aggregate price of the offering amount registered by the Company was $667.0 million. We sold an aggregate of 33,350,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the initial public offering, for an aggregate offering price of the amount sold of $667.0 million. In connection with the offering we paid the underwriters a discount of $1.20 per share, for a total underwriting discount of approximately $40.0 million. In addition, the Company incurred other expenses in connection with the offering which were paid from cash on hand, in the following amounts.

SEC registration fee	$	90,978
FINRA filing fee	100,550
The New York Stock Exchange listing fee	150,000
Printing fees and expenses	430,886
Legal fees and expenses	2,198,243
Blue sky fees and expenses	15,000
Registrar and transfer agent fees	3,516
Accounting fees and expenses	452,446
Miscellaneous expenses	35,201
Total	$	3,476,820

The proceeds of the sale of the shares, together with cash on hand, were used to pay down $667.0 million in outstanding debt. Specifically, the Company redeemed at par all $465.0 million in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 9.25% Senior Notes co-issued by certain of the Company's subsidiaries and repaid $202 million of the Senior Secured Non-extended Term Loan B facility, maturing in April 2014, held by a subsidiary of the Company. There has been no material change in our planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b).

Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P, an affiliate of Blackstone, a holder of in excess of 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, acted as an underwriter for the offering and received a portion of the underwriting discount. Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., or certain of its affiliates, were lenders under our Tranche B Non-Extended Term Loans due 2014 and, as a result, received a portion of the proceeds from the offering.

In connection with the offering, the Company terminated its Advisory Agreement and paid a termination fee equal to approximately $15.1 million to Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C., an affiliate of Blackstone and of Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., with available cash on hand.

Section 13(r) Disclosure

The Blackstone Group L.P. provided us with the disclosure for this fiscal quarter reproduced below regarding the activities of Hilton Worldwide, Inc. (“Hilton”), which may be considered our affiliate. We have not independently verified or participated in the preparation of this disclosure.

“As previously disclosed, during the reporting period, certain individual employees at two Hilton-branded hotels in the United Arab Emirates received routine wage payments as direct deposits to their personal accounts at Bank Melli, an entity identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”) maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Both of these hotels are owned by a third party, staffed by employees of the third-party owner and operated pursuant to a management agreement between the owner and a Hilton affiliate. In each case, these payments originated from the third-party owner's account to the personal accounts of the employees at their chosen bank. During the reporting period, both hotels discontinued making direct deposits to accounts at Bank Melli. No revenues or net profits are associated with these transactions.

Also as previously disclosed, during the reporting period, several individuals stayed at the DoubleTree Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, pursuant to a rate agreement between the hotel and Mahan Air, an entity identified on the SDN List. The rate agreement was terminated as of May 2, 2013. This hotel is staffed by employees of the third-party owner and operated pursuant to a management agreement between the owner and a Hilton affiliate. Under the rate agreement, which was entered into in the name of the owner, the hotel reserved a number of rooms for Mahan Air crew members at the DoubleTree Kuala Lumpur several times each week. Revenue and net profit received by Hilton attributable to Mahan Air crew hotel stays during the reporting period was approximately $430.”

In addition, Travelport Limited, which may be considered our affiliate, included the disclosure reproduced below in its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.. We have not independently verified or participated in the preparation of this disclosure.

 “As part of our global business in the travel industry, we provide certain passenger travel related GDS and airline IT Solutions services to Iran Air. We also provide certain airline IT Solutions services to Iran Air Tours. All of these services are either exempt from applicable sanctions prohibitions pursuant to a statutory exemption in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act permitting transactions ordinarily incident to travel or, to the extent not otherwise exempt, specifically licensed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). Subject to any changes in the exempt/licensed status of such activities, we intend to continue these business activities, which are directly related to and promote the arrangement of travel for individuals.

Prior to and during the reporting period, we also provided airline IT Solutions services to Syrian Arab Airlines. These services were generally understood to be permissible under the same statutory travel exemption. The services were terminated following the May 2013 action by OFAC to designate this airline as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist pursuant to the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations.

The gross revenue and net profit attributable to these activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 were approximately $248,000 and $176,000, respectively.”

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 3, 2013, the Company completed its IPO which is further described in Note 1. A portion of the proceeds was used to redeem the entire $465.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 9.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.0%. This is explained in greater detail under the section titled, “Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.” The remaining net proceeds, together with cash on hand, was used to repay $202.0 million of the Tranche B Non-Extended Term Loans.

On April 29, 2013, (the "April 2013 Refinancing"), Pinnacle Foods Finance, entered into the second amendment to the amended and restated Senior Secured Credit Facility, which provided for a seven year term loan facility in the amount of $1,630.0 million (the "Tranche G Term Loans") and replaced the existing revolving credit facility with a new five year $150.0 million revolving credit facility. Additionally, Pinnacle Foods Finance issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes (the "4.875% Senior Notes") due 2021.

As a result of the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance used a portion of the proceeds from the Tranche G Term Loans and the 4.875% Senior Notes issuance to (i) repay all existing indebtedness outstanding under the then existing Senior Secured Credit Facility, consisting of (a) $38.1 million of Tranche B Non-Extended Term Loans, (b) $634.7 million of Tranche B Extended Term Loans, (c) $396.0 million of Tranche E Term Loans and (d) $446.6 million of Tranche F Term Loans and (ii) redeem $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 8.25% Senior Notes due 2017 at a redemption price of 108.5%.

In connection with the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance incurred deferred financing fees which are detailed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Goodwill, Tradenames and Other Assets”. Also, Pinnacle Foods Finance incurred $4,075 of original issue discount on the new Tranche G Term Loans, and wrote off $2,182 of existing original issue discount.

The stated maturity dates are: April 29, 2020 for the Tranche G Loans, and April 29, 2018 for the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pinnacle Foods Finance's borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, bear interest at a floating rate and are maintained as base rate loans or as eurocurrency rate loans. Base rate loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, as described in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the administrative agent's prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) the eurocurrency rate that would be payable on such day for a eurocurrency rate loan with a one-month interest period plus 1%. Eurocurrency rate loans bear interest at the adjusted eurocurrency rate plus the applicable eurocurrency rate margin, as described in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The eurocurrency rate is determined by reference to the British Bankers Association (BBA) LIBOR rate for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. With respect to Tranche G Term Loans, the eurocurrency rate shall be no less than 0.75% per annum and the base rate shall be no less than 1.75%  per annum. The interest rate margin for Tranche G Term Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is 1.50%, in the case of the base rate loans and 2.50%, in the case of eurocurrency rate loans. The margin is subject to one 25 basis point step down upon achievement by the Company of a total net leverage ratio of less than 4.25:1.0.

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Peak Finance Holdings LLC, any subsidiary of Peak Finance Holdings LLC that directly or indirectly owns 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Pinnacle Foods Finance, subject to certain exceptions, each of Pinnacle Foods Finance’s direct or indirect material domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and by the Company effective with the April 2013 refinancing. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in (i) all the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each direct or indirect domestic subsidiary of Pinnacle Foods Finance and 65% of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each direct foreign subsidiary of Pinnacle Foods Finance, or any of its material domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and (ii) certain tangible and intangible assets of Pinnacle Foods Finance and those of the Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications).

The total combined amount of the Senior Secured Credit Facility Loans that were owed to affiliates of Blackstone as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, was $52,119 and $63,097, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012 there were no borrowings outstanding for the Revolving Credit Facility, except in respect of letters of credit as set forth below, however, the eurocurrency rate would have been 2.69% and 3.71%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan components of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 3.55% and 3.82%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan components of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 3.64%, and 3.57%, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012 the eurocurrency interest rate on the term loan facilities was 3.25% and 4.08%, respectively.

Pinnacle Foods Finance pays a fee for all outstanding letters of credit drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate equivalent to the applicable eurocurrency rate margin then in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility, plus the fronting fee payable in respect of the applicable letter of credit. The fronting fee is equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such letter of credit. The fronting fees are computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Total letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility cannot exceed $50,000. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, Pinnacle Foods Finance had utilized $33,972 and $33,453, respectively of the Revolving Credit Facility for letters of credit. As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, there was $116,028 and $116,547 of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $16,028 and $16,547 was available to be used for letters of credit.

Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Pinnacle Foods Finance is required to use 50% of its “Excess Cash Flow” to prepay the term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (which percentage will be reduced to 25% at a total leverage ratio of 4.50 to 5.49 and to 0% at a total leverage ratio below 4.50). As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a total leverage ratio of 4.21. Excess Cash Flow is defined as consolidated net income (as defined), as adjusted for certain items, including (1) all non-cash charges and credits included in arriving at consolidated net income, (2) changes in working capital, (3) capital expenditures (to the extent they were not financed with debt), (4) the aggregate amount of principal payments on indebtedness and (5) certain other items defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the 2012 reporting year Pinnacle Foods Finance determined that there were no amounts due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In December 2013, Pinnacle Foods Finance will determine if amounts are due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility for the 2013 reporting year.

The term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility mature in quarterly installments of 0.25% of their aggregate funded total principal amount. The aggregate maturities of the Tranche G Term Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are $4.1 million in the remainder of 2013, $16.3 million in 2014, $16.3 million in 2015, $16.3 million in 2016, $20.4 million in 2017 and $1,552.6 million thereafter.

Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Pinnacle Foods Finance is required to maintain a ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of no greater than 5.75 to 1.00. Net First Lien Secured Debt is defined as aggregate consolidated secured indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, Pinnacle Foods Finance's ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (which is currently the same as the ratio of Net First Lien Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA above), in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or to the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recently concluded four consecutive fiscal quarters, in the case of the Senior Notes. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also permits restricted payments up to an aggregate amount of (together with certain other amounts) the greater of $50 million and 2% of Pinnacle Foods Finance's consolidated total assets, so long as no default has occurred and is continuing and its pro forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 4.25 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2013 the Company is in compliance with all covenants and other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

On April 3, 2013, the Company completed its IPO which is further described in Note 1. A portion of the proceeds was used to redeem the entire $465.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 9.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.0%.

On April 29, 2013, as part of the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes (the "4.875% Senior Notes") due 2021.

As a result of the April 2013 Refinancing, Pinnacle Foods Finance used a portion of the proceeds from the Tranche G Term Loans and the 4.875% Senior Notes issuance to redeem $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Pinnacle Foods Finance's 8.25% Senior Notes due 2017 at a redemption price of 108.5%.

The 4.875% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Pinnacle Foods Finance, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior secured indebtedness of Pinnacle Foods Finance and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by Pinnacle Foods Finance’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of Pinnacle Foods Finance. See Note 17 for the condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements.

Pinnacle Foods Finance may redeem some or all of the 4.875% Senior Notes at any time prior to May 1, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. The “Applicable Premium” is defined as the greater of (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note and (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such 4.875% Senior Notes at May 1, 2016, plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such 4.875% Senior Notes through May 1, 2016 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate plus 50 basis points over (b) the principal amount of such note.

Pinnacle Foods Finance may redeem the 4.875% Senior Notes at the redemption prices listed below, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1^st of each of the years indicated below:

4.875% Senior Notes
Year	Percentage
2016	103.656%
2017	102.438%
2018	101.219%
2019 and thereafter	100.000%

In addition, until May 1, 2016, Pinnacle Foods Finance may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.875% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the right of holders of the 4.875% Senior Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds received by Pinnacle Foods Finance from one or more equity offerings; provided that (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.875% Senior Notes originally issued under the indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (ii) each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering.

As market conditions warrant, Pinnacle Foods Finance and its subsidiaries, affiliates or significant equity holders (including Blackstone and its affiliates) may from time to time, in its or their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of Pinnacle Foods Finance’s outstanding debt or equity securities (including any publicly issued debt or equity securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion, as of June 30, 2013, is as follows:

	June 30, 2013
Issue	Face Value		Fair Value
Senior Secured Credit Facility - Tranche G Term Loans	1,625,925		1,611,698
4.875% Senior Notes	350,000		334,250
	$	1,975,925	$	1,945,948

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2013-02”). This new guidance requires that the Company present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance only impacts disclosures within the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements and does not result in a change to the accounting treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Company adopted this standard during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” (“ASU 2013-11”). The update provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. The Company will adopt this standard in December 2013. The Company anticipates that adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension And Retirement Plans

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]

Pension And Retirement Plans

Pension and Retirement Plans

The Company accounts for pension and retirement plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance for retirement benefit compensation. This guidance requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The guidance also requires recognition in accumulated other comprehensive earnings of certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules.

The Company uses a measurement date for the pension benefit plans that coincides with its year end.

The Company has two defined benefit plans (Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan and the Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan, both of which are frozen for future benefit accruals as of December 30, 2012), two qualified 401(k) plans, two non-qualified 40l(k) plans and participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan.

Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan

The Company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan”) that covers eligible union employees and provides benefits generally based on years of service and employees’ compensation. The plan is frozen for future benefits. The Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations. Plan assets consist principally of cash equivalents, equity and fixed income common collective trusts. Plan assets do not include any of the Company’s own equity or debt securities.

The following represents the components of net periodic (benefit) cost:

	Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan

Net periodic cost	$	(117	)	$	673		$	24		$	1,348

Cash Flows

Contributions. Due to changes in Federal laws passed in July 2012  governing pension funding requirements, our required payments for pension funding are lower in fiscal 2013 than they were in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2013, the Company expects to make contributions of $2.7 million to the Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan, of which minimum required payments of $0.7 million and $0.8 million were made in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company made contributions to the pension plan totaling $4.1 million in fiscal 2012, of which $1.1 million and $2.0 million were made in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively.

Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan

The Company’s Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan (the “Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan”) consists of hourly and salaried employees and has primarily non-contributory defined-benefit schedules. The plan is frozen for future benefits.

The Company acquired an Excess Benefit Retirement Plan from Birds Eye Foods ("EBRP"), which serves to provide employees with the same retirement benefit they would have received from Birds Eye’s retirement plan under the career average base pay formula. Benefits for this plan are frozen. Also, the Company maintains a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which provides additional retirement benefits to two prior executives of Birds Eye Foods who retired prior to November 4, 1994. Expenses and liabilities for the EBRP and the SERP plan are grouped with those of the Birds Eye Pension Plan in all disclosures listed herein.

The benefits for these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of Federal laws and regulations. Plan assets consist principally of cash equivalents, equity and fixed income common collective trusts. Plan assets do not include any of the Company’s own equity or debt securities.

Cash Flows

Contributions. Due to changes in Federal laws passed in July 2012  governing pension funding requirements, our required payments for pension funding are lower in fiscal 2013 than they were in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2013, the Company expects to make contributions of $5.2 million to the Birds Eye Foods Pension Plan, of which minimum required payments of $1.4 million and $1.6 million were made in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company made contributions to the pension plan totaling $8.4 million in fiscal 2012, of which $1.9 million and $3.7 million were made in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively.

Multi-employer Plans

Pinnacle contributes to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Industry Pension Fund (EIN 51-6055922) (the "UFCW Plan") under the terms of the collective-bargaining agreement with its Fort Madison employees. On February 14, 2013, a new four year collective bargaining agreement, effective through September 2016, was ratified by our 450 Fort Madison union employees.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, contributions to the UFCW Plan were $246 and $435, respectively. For the three and six months and June 24, 2012, contributions to the UFCW Plan were $187 and $371, respectively. The contributions to this plan are paid monthly based upon the number of employees. They represent less than 5% of the total contributions received by this plan during the most recent plan year.

The risks of participating in multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (a) assets contributed to a multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (b) if a participating employer stops contributing to the multi-employer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers and (c) if the Company chooses to stop participating in the plan, the Company may be required to pay a withdrawal liability based on the underfunded status of the plan.

The UFCW Plan received a Pension Protection Act “green” zone status for the plan year ending June 30, 2012. The zone status is based on information the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The UFCW Plan did not utilize any extended amortization provisions that effect its placement in the "green" zone. The UFCW Plan has never been required to implement a funding improvement plan nor is one pending at this time.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk.

The valuations of these instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate, commodity, and foreign exchange forward curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for fair value disclosure, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. The Company had no fair value measurements based upon significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013 or December 30, 2012.

In addition to the instruments named above, the Company also makes fair value measurements in connection with its annual goodwill and trade name impairment testing. These measurements would fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

In December 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements," (“ASU 2011-04”). For purposes of calculating fair value of financial instruments, we manage the portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the Company's net exposure to credit risk. The Company has elected to apply the portfolio exception in ASU 2011-04 with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

The authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements and the required disclosures are as follows:

The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk.

The valuations of these instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate, commodity, and foreign exchange forward curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for fair value disclosure, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. The Company had no fair value measurements based upon significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013 or December 30, 2012.

In addition to the instruments named above, the Company also makes fair value measurements in connection with its annual goodwill and trade name impairment testing. These measurements would fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In December 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements," (“ASU 2011-04”). For purposes of calculating fair value of financial instruments, we manage the portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the Company's net exposure to credit risk. The Company has elected to apply the portfolio exception in ASU 2011-04 with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Business Overview

Pinnacle Foods Inc. (hereafter referred to as “Pinnacle” or the “Company”), formerly known as Crunch Holding Corp., is a holding company whose sole asset is 100% ownership of Peak Finance Holdings LLC (“PFH”). PFH is a holding company whose sole asset is 100% ownership of Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC (“Pinnacle Foods Finance”). The Company is majority owned by affiliates of the Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone").

The Company is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of high quality, branded convenience food products, the products and operations of which are managed and reported in three operating segments: (i) Birds Eye Frozen, (ii) Duncan Hines Grocery and (iii) Specialty Foods. The Company’s United States retail frozen vegetables (Birds Eye), frozen complete bagged meals (Birds Eye Voila!), frozen seafood (Van de Kamp’s, Mrs. Paul’s), full-calorie single-serve frozen dinners and entrées (Hungry-Man), frozen breakfast (Aunt Jemima), frozen and refrigerated bagels (Lender’s), and frozen pizza for one (Celeste) are reported in the Birds Eye Frozen Division. The Company’s baking mixes and frostings (Duncan Hines), shelf-stable pickles (Vlasic), table syrups (Mrs. Butterworth’s and Log Cabin), canned meat (Armour, Nalley and Brooks), pie and pastry fillings (Comstock and Wilderness), barbecue sauces (Open Pit), salad dressing (Bernstein’s) and all Canadian operations are reported in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division. The Specialty Foods Division consists of snack products (Tim’s Cascade and Snyder of Berlin) and the Company’s food service and private label businesses.

Significant transactions affecting comparability

The results of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012 are impacted by the April 2013 IPO and the April 2013 and 2012 refinancings which significantly affected Administrative expenses, Other expense, Interest expense and Provision for income taxes. See Management's Discussion and Analysis (pages 48-74).

History and Current Ownership

Since 2001, the Company and its predecessors have been involved in several business combinations to acquire certain assets and liabilities related to the brands discussed above.

On December 23, 2009, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC (“PFG LLC”), an entity wholly owned by Pinnacle Foods Finance, purchased Birds Eye Foods, Inc. (the “Birds Eye Acquisition”).

On March 12, 2013, the Company’s board of directors authorized a 55.2444 for 1 split of the common stock. The split became effective on the date of approval. The Company retained the par value of $0.01 per share for all shares of common stock. All references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis. Shareholders’ equity reflects the stock split by reclassifying from “Additional paid-in capital” to “Common stock” an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split.

On March 28, 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering ("IPO"). The Company's common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), under the ticker symbol PF, on March 28, 2013. In connection with the IPO, 2,618,307 additional shares were issued through the exercise of a warrant agreement by Peak Holdings LLC ("Peak Holdings") which was the majority owner of Pinnacle Foods Finance prior to the IPO. Immediately thereafter, the warrant agreement was terminated and Peak Holdings was liquidated. On April 3, 2013, the IPO closed in which the Company issued and sold 33,350,000 shares of common stock for cash consideration of $20.00 per share ($18.80 per share net of underwriting discounts). None of Blackstone, Directors or management of the Company sold any shares as part of the IPO. The Company received approximately $623.9 million in net proceeds ($667.0 million of gross proceeds net of $43.1 million of underwriting discounts and other fees) from the offering, which were used to pay down debt. See Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements "Debt and Interest Expense" for further details.

Taxes on Earnings

Taxes on Earnings

The provision (benefit) for income taxes and related effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively, were as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes	June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012			June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012
Current	$	774		$	(736	)	$	1,494		$	158
Deferred	(5,549		)	(7,199		)	8,953			(2,016		)
Total	$	(4,775	)	$	(7,935	)	$	10,447		$	(1,858	)
Effective tax rate	13.0		%	42.9		%	306.9		%	64.5		%

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their financial statement basis and tax basis, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company refinanced all of its outstanding debt (Note 9) and the Company discontinued hedge accounting for interest rate swaps in effect at that time (Note 11). Effective with the swap termination, deferred tax expense of $9.1 million, which was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss through the swap termination date, was reclassified as a non-cash deferred tax expense in the provision for income taxes through the consolidated statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, the Company announced restructuring plans (Note 8) that were projected to decrease our future state effective tax rate, resulting in a net benefit of $2.1 million to the tax provision and a corresponding decrease to our net deferred tax liabilities.

The Company regularly evaluates its deferred tax assets for future realization.  A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that some portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company's tax provision in the period of change.

As of June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, the Company maintained a valuation allowance for certain state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers, state tax credit carryovers and foreign loss carryovers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 a benefit of $1.5 million was recognized to the income tax provision for reduction of the valuation allowance for state NOL carryovers and state credits attributable to a projected decrease of interest expense from the IPO and the April 2013 refinancing. For the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, a charge of $1.9 million was recognized to the income tax provision, principally related to the realizability of state NOL carryovers and state credits due to the aforementioned restructuring plans.

Disclosure of Stockholder's Equity, Equity-Based Compensation Expense and Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Stockholder's Equity, Equity-Based Compensation Expense and Earnings Per Share

older's Equity, Equity-Based Compensation Expense and Earnings Per Share

Equity-based Compensation

The Company has two long-term incentive programs: The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Prior to March 28, 2013, the Company also had the 2007 Unit Plan, which was terminated in connection with the Company's recent IPO. Equity-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of equity-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. As equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The authoritative guidance for equity compensation requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for equity-based awards. Prior to March 28, 2013, since the underlying equity was not publicly traded, the determination of fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model was based upon estimates of enterprise value as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. The estimated enterprise value was based upon forecasted cash flows for five years plus a terminal year and an assumed discount rate. The other variables used to determine fair value of equity-based payment awards include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility of a group of industry comparable companies over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee equity option exercise behaviors.

The fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, respectively, was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	June 30, 2013		*	June 24, 2012
Risk-free interest rate	1.10	%		0.64	%
Expected time to option exercise	6.50 years			1.93 years
Expected volatility of Pinnacle Foods Inc. stock	35	%		55	%
Expected dividend yield on Pinnacle Foods Inc. stock	3.60	%		—	%

* all of the options issued in the first half of 2013 were valued using an IPO price of $20.00 a share

Volatility was based on the average volatility of a group of publicly traded food companies. The Company estimates the annual forfeiture rates to be approximately 10% under its long-term incentive plans.

Expense Information

The following table summarizes equity-based compensation expense related to employee equity options and employee equity units under the authoritative guidance for equity compensation which was allocated as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012			June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012
Cost of products sold	$	285		$	40		$	308		$	80
Marketing and selling expenses	864			120			935			240
Administrative expenses	1,937			131			2,013			262
Research and development expenses	64			9			69			18
Pre-tax equity-based compensation expense	3,150			300			3,325			600
Income tax benefit	(674		)	(2		)	(680		)	(14		)
Net equity-based compensation expense	$	2,476		$	298		$	2,645		$	586

As of June 30, 2013, cumulative unrecognized equity compensation expense of the unvested portion of shares for the Company's two long-term incentive programs was $34,056. The weighted average period over which vesting will occur is approximately 6.1 years for the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and 2.7 years for the 2013 Omnibus Plan. Options under the plans have a termination date of 10 years from the date of issuance.

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company adopted an equity option plan (the “2007 Stock Incentive Plan”) providing for the issuance of up to 1,104,888 shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, certain officers, employees, managers, directors and other persons were eligible to receive grants of nonqualified stock options, as permitted by applicable law. For options granted from 2007 to 2009, generally 25% of the options will vest ratably over five years (“Time-Vested Options”), subject to full acceleration upon a change of control. Fifty percent of the options vest ratably over five years if annual or cumulative Management EBITDA targets, as defined, are met (“Performance Options”). The final 25% of the options vest either on a change of control or liquidity event, if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone (“Exit Options”). In addition, the plan was also revised to provide that if the EBITDA target is achieved in any two consecutive fiscal years (excluding 2007 and 2008) during the employee's continued employment, then that year's and all prior years' performance options will vest and become exercisable, and if the exit options vest and become exercisable during the employees continued employment, then all the performance options will also vest and become exercisable. Subsequent to 2009, the Company awarded options in the form of Time Vested Options (25%) and Performance Options (75%) to certain employees. The options have the same vesting provisions as stated above, including the provisions that if there is a change of control or liquidity event and if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone, then all the Performance Options will also vest and become exercisable. Prior to March 1, 2013, this annual internal rate of return target was 20%, but the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reduced the target for vesting purposes on that date from 20% to 12% to reflect changes in the food industry environment since the plan was adopted. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as further described below), there will be no more grants under this plan.

The following table summarizes the equity option transactions under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan:

		Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date		Weighted Average Remaining Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000's)

2007 Unit Plan

Peak Holdings, the former parent of Pinnacle Foods Inc., adopted an equity plan (the “2007 Unit Plan”) providing for the issuance of profit interest units (PIUs) in Peak Holdings. Certain employees had been given the opportunity to invest in Peak Holdings through the purchase of Peak Holding's Class A-2 Units. In addition, from 2007 to 2009, each manager who so invested was awarded profit interests in Peak Holdings in the form of Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Units. Generally 25% of the PIUs vested ratably over five years (“Class B-1 Units”), subject to full acceleration upon a change of control. Fifty percent of the PIUs vested ratably over five years depending on whether annual or cumulative EBITDA targets are met (“Class B-2 Units”). The plan also provides that, if the Adjusted EBITDA target was achieved in any two consecutive fiscal years during the employee's continued employment, then that year's and all prior years' Class B-2 Units vested, and if there is a change of control or liquidity event defined as when Blackstone sells more than 50% of its holdings and a certain annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone, then all the Class B-2 units also vested, and if the Class B-3 Units vested during the employee's continued employment (as described below) then all the Class B-2 Units also vested. The final 25% of the PIUs granted vested either on a change of control or liquidity event, if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone (“Class B-3 Units”). Subsequent to 2009, the Company awarded PIUs to certain employees in the form of Class B-1 Units (25%) and Class B-2 Units (75%). The Class B-1 Units and Class B-2 Units have the same vesting provisions as stated above, including the provisions that if there is a change of control or liquidity event and if a 12% annual internal rate of return is attained by Blackstone, then all the Class B-2 units will also vest and become exercisable. Prior to March 1, 2013, this annual internal rate of return target was 20%, but the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reduced the target for vesting purposes on that date from 20% to 12% to reflect changes in the food industry environment since the plan was adopted.

In connection with the Company's IPO, Peak Holdings was dissolved resulting in the termination of the 2007 Unit Plan and the adoption of the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as further described below). As a result of the dissolution, the holders of units of Peak Holdings were distributed the assets of Peak Holdings. As the sole assets of Peak Holdings were shares of the Company's common stock, units were converted into shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock delivered to the equity holder as a result of the conversion had the same intrinsic value as the Class A-2 Units held by the equity holder prior to such conversion. Additionally, in connection with the dissolution, all PIUs were converted into shares or restricted shares of the Company's common stock. Vested PIUs were converted into shares of common stock and unvested PIUs were converted into unvested restricted shares of our common stock, which are subject to vesting terms substantially similar to those applicable to the unvested PIU immediately prior to the conversion. The number of shares delivered under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 1,546,355, have the same intrinsic value as the PIUs immediately prior to such conversion.

2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan”) providing for the issuance of up to 11,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock which will be reserved for issuance under (1) equity awards granted as a result of the conversion of unvested PIUs into restricted common stock of the Company, (2) stock options and other equity awards granted in connection with the completion of the IPO, and (3) awards granted by the Company under the 2013 Omnibus Plan following the completion of the IPO. Pursuant to the 2013 Omnibus Plan, certain officers, employees, managers, directors and other persons are eligible to receive grants of equity based awards, as permitted by applicable law.

On March 27, 2013, in connection with the IPO, the Company issued 2,310,000 "Founders Grants" options under the 2013 Omnibus Plan. The options vest in full at the end of three years. Additionally, 82,460 non-vested shares were issued which also vest in full at the end of three years. On April 3, 2013, an additional 200,000 non-vested shares were issued to Robert J. Gamgort, the Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with his employment agreement, which vest in full at the end of one year.

The following table summarizes the equity option transactions under the 2013 Omnibus Plan:

Earnings Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss for common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share are calculated by dividing net loss by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares, which are determined as follows:

	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2013	June 24, 2012	June 30, 2013	June 24, 2012
Weighted-average common shares	114,909,243	82,234,564	98,079,574	82,240,791
Effect of dilutive securities:	—	—	—	—
Dilutive potential common shares	114,909,243	82,234,564	98,079,574	82,240,791

Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, conversion of warrants, stock options and non-vested shares totaling 410,132 and 5,192,974, respectively, into common share equivalents were excluded from this calculation because they were anti-dilutive, due to the net loss recorded in each of the periods. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, conversion of warrants, stock options and non-vested shares totaling 2,638,639 and 5,192,974, respectively, into common share equivalents were excluded from this calculation for the same reason.

Restructuring Charges

Pickle supply chain improvements

On May 25, 2012, the Company announced plans to further improve the efficiency of its supply chain by consolidating its Vlasic pickle production into one plant in Imlay City, MI. The Company's decision to focus on its branded Vlasic business and de-emphasize its lower-margin, un-branded pickle business was the catalyst for this consolidation. The Company's pickle production plant, located in Millsboro, DE ended production at year-end 2012. The Company recorded employee termination costs of $1,322 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. The Company recorded asset retirement obligation charges of $750 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. In addition, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $1,736 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012. As a result of exiting the lower-margin un-branded pickle business, the Company terminated the use of a third party ingredients storage facility in the third quarter of 2012. In doing so, the Company recorded a contract termination fee that was paid in July 2013. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Millsboro, DE plant are recorded in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Green Bay, WI Research Facility

On May 15, 2012, the Company announced plans to relocate the Birds Eye Frozen Division Research and Development team from Green Bay, WI to its new facility at its Parsippany, NJ headquarters.

In addition, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $187 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012.

Fulton, NY Plant

On April 15, 2011, the Company announced plans to consolidate the Birds Eye Frozen Division's Fulton, NY plant operations into its Darien, WI and Waseca, MN facilities in order to locate vegetable processing closer to the crop-growing region and thus reduce the related freight costs. In connection with this project, the Company made significant capital investments in its Darien, WI and Waseca, MN plants. The Company recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $479 and $2,324 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Fulton, NY plant were recorded in the Birds Eye Frozen Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Severance costs were accrued in the second quarter of 2011 and payments were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2012. On January 9, 2013, the sale of the Fulton location was finalized for total net proceeds of $874.

Tacoma, WA Plant

On December 3, 2010, in an effort to improve its supply chain operations, the Company announced the closure of the Tacoma, WA plant and the consolidation of production into its Fort Madison, IA plant. The Company recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $0 and $307 in the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively. All restructuring charges related to the closure of the Tacoma, WA plant were recorded in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division and in the Cost of products sold line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Severance costs were accrued in the fourth quarter of 2010 and payments were substantially completed in the second quarter of 2012. Our Tacoma, WA location was sold in July 2013 for total net proceeds of $5.1 million.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices.

The Company manages interest rate risk based on the varying circumstances of anticipated borrowings and existing variable and fixed rate debt, including the Company’s revolving credit facility. Examples of interest rate management strategies include capping interest rates using targeted interest cost benchmarks, hedging portions of the total amount of debt, or hedging a period of months and not always hedging to maturity, and at other times locking in rates to fix interests costs.

Certain parts of the Company’s foreign operations in Canada expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s goal is to reduce its exposure to such foreign exchange risks on its foreign currency cash flows and fair value fluctuations on recognized foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments to acceptable levels primarily through the use of foreign exchange-related derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency. The Company does not enter into these transactions for non-hedging purposes.

The Company purchases raw materials in quantities expected to be used in a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. The Company generally enters into agreements for either spot market delivery or forward delivery. The prices paid in the forward delivery contracts are generally fixed, but may also be variable within a capped or collared price range. Forward derivative contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

The second quarter 2013 IPO (Note 1) and debt refinancings (Note 9) resulted in significant changes to the Company's debt profile. For the two $650 million interest rate swaps in place at the time that were scheduled to mature April 2014, it became probable that the associated original forecasted transactions would not occur. As such, the Company discontinued hedge accounting and accelerated the reclassification of amounts in AOCL to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur. In the second quarter 2013, these accelerated amounts resulted in a $2.8 million charge to interest expense ($1.7 million, net of tax benefits) and a $9.1 million non-cash charge to the provision for income tax expenses related to the release of deferred tax charges recorded in Other comprehensive income (see Note 15 for additional details). Prospective changes in the fair value of these derivatives no longer designated in hedging relationships will be recorded directly in earnings.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Current Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Range	Index	Trade Dates	Maturity Dates
Interest Rate Swaps	14	$	1,333,000	0.76% - 2.97%	USD-LIBOR-BBA	Apr 2013	Apr 2014 - Apr 2020

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts reported in AOCL related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $304 will be reclassified as an increase to Interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company’s operations in Canada expose the Company to changes in the U.S. Dollar – Canadian Dollar ("USD-CAD") foreign exchange rate. From time to time, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary purchases inventory denominated in U.S. Dollars ("USD"), a currency other than its functional currency. The subsidiary sells that inventory in Canadian dollars. The subsidiary uses currency forward and collar agreements to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. Currency collar agreements involve the sale of Canadian Dollar ("CAD") currency in exchange for receiving U.S. dollars if exchange rates rise above an agreed upon rate and purchase of USD currency in exchange for paying CAD currency if exchange rates fall below an agreed upon rate at specified dates.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following foreign currency exchange contracts (in aggregate) that were designated as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Notional Sold in Aggregate in ("CAD")		Notional Purchased in Aggregate in ("USD")		USD to CAD Exchange Rates	Trade Date	Maturity Dates
CAD Forward	7	$	25,850	$	26,118	0.987 - 0.993	Sep 2012	Jul 2013 - Dec 2013

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCL in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recognized directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-designated Hedges of Commodity Risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk but do not meet the authoritative guidance for hedge accounting. From time to time, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of natural gas, diesel fuel, corn, wheat and soybean oil purchases and other commodities at a future delivery date. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following derivative instruments that were not designated in qualifying hedging relationships:

Commodity Contracts	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount	Price/Index	Trade Dates	Maturity Dates
Diesel Fuel Contracts	2	4,094,194 Gallons	$3.74 - $3.95 per Gallon	April 2013	December 2013

Credit risk-related contingent features

The Company has agreements with certain counterparties that contain a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached this provision at June 30, 2013, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value, which differs from the recorded fair value. The table below summarizes the aggregate fair values of those derivatives that contain credit risk-related contingent features as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012.

Balance, June 30, 2013	$	527,069	$	740,465	$	173,961	$	1,441,495

The authoritative guidance for business combinations requires that all business combinations be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting. The authoritative guidance for goodwill provides that goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often when events indicate. The Company completed its annual testing as of December 30, 2012, which indicated no impairment.

Tradenames

Tradenames by segment are as follows:

	Birds Eye		Duncan Hines		Specialty
