Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Organization On March 24, 2015, H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 24, 2015, among Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft”), Kite Merger Sub Corp., H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation and Kite Merger Sub LLC (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kite Merger Sub Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation, merged with and into Kraft, with Kraft surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation. We refer to this merger transaction as the 2015 Merger. The 2015 Merger was consummated on July 2, 2015, which we refer to as the Merger Date, at which time H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation changed its name to “The Kraft Heinz Company” (the “Company” or “Kraft Heinz”). Before the consummation of the 2015 Merger, H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation was controlled by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (“Berkshire Hathaway”) and 3G Special Situations Fund III, L.P. (“3G Capital,” and together with Berkshire Hathaway, the “Sponsors”) following their acquisition of H.J. Heinz Company on June 7, 2013 ("2013 Merger). The Sponsors initially owned 850 million shares of common stock in H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation, with Berkshire Hathaway having warrants to purchase approximately 46 million additional shares of common stock, which it exercised in June 2015. Prior to, but in connection with, the 2015 Merger, the Sponsors purchased an additional 500 million newly issued shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.0 billion. Immediately prior to the consummation of the 2015 Merger, each share of H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation issued and outstanding common stock was reclassified and changed into 0.443332 of a share of Kraft Heinz common stock. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this conversion, including reclassifying an amount equal to the change in par value of common stock from additional paid-in capital. In the 2015 Merger, all outstanding shares of Kraft common stock (other than deferred shares and restricted shares) were converted into the right to receive, on a one-for-one basis, shares of Kraft Heinz common stock, on a tax-free basis. Upon the completion of the 2015 Merger, the Kraft shareholders of record received a special cash dividend of $16.50 per share. In addition, Berkshire Hathaway has an $8.0 billion preferred stock investment in Kraft Heinz which entitles it to a 9.0% annual dividend. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer, collectively, to The Kraft Heinz Company, and its subsidiaries.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 reflect the results of operations and financial position of H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation for the periods presented and do not include the results of operations and financial position of Kraft because the merger was completed on July 2, 2015. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and have been prepared following the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of these interim periods, have been included. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due in part to the seasonal nature of our business. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes, and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 28, 2014, as included in its Registration Statement filed on Form S-4 with the SEC, which was declared effective on June 2, 2015. As previously reported, during the quarter ended March 29, 2015, the Company recorded out-of-period corrections in the amount of foreign currency translation gains and losses recorded for goodwill from the date of the 2013 Merger through December 28, 2014, as well as deferred taxes recognized in the 2013 Merger opening balance sheet. These corrections resulted in the net reduction of total Company goodwill of $40 million, a reduction in related deferred tax assets of $11 million and a reduction in total Company accumulated other comprehensive income of $51 million. The net impact of these corrections on goodwill at each of the segments was reductions of $10 million in North America, $18 million in Asia/Pacific, $6 million in Latin America and $10 million in RIMEA, and an increase of $4 million in Europe. These corrections did not have a material impact on the Company’s current and previously reported consolidated financial statements.
