PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET

(Unaudited)

McCormick is accounting for the acquisition of Lawry’s as a purchase under United States generally accepted accounting principles. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Lawry’s are recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values, and consolidated with those of McCormick. The results of operations of Lawry’s will be consolidated with those of McCormick beginning on the date of the purchase. The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet included in this filing reflect both the effects of the Lawry’s acquisition as well as the effects of the disposal of Season-All. The sale of Season-All does not meet the SEC requirements for Pro Forma disclosure. However, the acquisition of Lawry’s was contingent upon the sale of Season-All and, therefore, the effects of the sale are also reflected in the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet for the period presented.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is based on historical results of the combined entities and will not necessarily be reflective of the results that will be achieved by the combined entities in the future. The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet presents the financial position of McCormick and Lawry’s as of May 31, 2008, assuming the acquisition occurred as of that date.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet reflects pro forma adjustments that are based upon available information and which McCormick believes are reasonable. The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet does not necessarily reflect the financial position of the entity that actually would have resulted had the transaction, which pro forma effect is given, been consummated as of the date. Additionally, the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet have been prepared on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and may change as valuations are completed and more facts become known.

This information should be read in conjunction with the previously filed Form 8-K, dated August 1, 2008, the previously filed historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of McCormick, contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 and in its 2008 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in conjunction with the historical financial statements and accompanying notes of Lawry’s included in this Form 8-K.

Description of Transaction

On July 31, 2008, we completed the purchase of the assets of the Lawry’s business from Conopco, Inc. an indirect subsidiary of Unilever N.V. (“Unilever”). Lawry’s manufactures and sells a variety of marinades and seasoning blends under the well-known “Lawry’s” and “Adolph’s” brands in North America. The acquisition included the rights to the brands as well as related inventory and a small number of dedicated production lines. It did not include any manufacturing facilities or employees. The annual sales of this business are approximately $150 million. The allocation of Lawry’s sales is expected to be approximately 90% to our consumer segment and approximately 10% to our industrial segment. The purchase price was $604 million in cash, the assumption of certain liabilities relating to the purchased assets and transaction costs of $15 million.

The purchase agreement has undergone a regulatory review and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) granted final approval for the transaction. As part of that approval, we sold our Season-All business to Morton International, Inc. With annual sales of approximately $18 million, the Season-All business was sold for $15 million in cash, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $12.9 million.

Adjustments to Financial Statements

 

(A) Net cash from sale of Season-All ($15 million sales price, less $1 million in selling expenses and $4.8 million in income taxes). The $9.2 million in net cash was used to reduce short-term borrowings related to the acquisition.

 

(B) After tax gain on the sale of Season-All ($12.9 million net gain less $4.8 million in income taxes).

 

(C) Estimated fair value adjustment of Lawry’s property, plant and equipment, net.

As a result, certain of the allocations are estimates and are subject to revision once the final assessments are completed. The following summarizes the preliminary estimated goodwill and other intangible assets assuming a purchase date of May 31, 2008 (in millions):

 

Purchase price

     $ 604.0  

Accrued expenses and fees

       15.0  
          

Total purchase price

       619.0  

Estimated allocation of identified assets and liabilities:

    

Tangible net assets acquired

   10.4    

Liabilities assumed

   (1.0 )  

Other intangible assets

   202.0    
        

Subtotal

       (211.4 )
          

Total estimated goodwill

     $ 407.6  
          

 

(E) To reflect the medium-term debt and short-term borrowings required to finance the acquisition.

 

(F) To reflect a $1.4 million reduction to other accrued liabilities to Lawry’s June balance sheet for estimated liabilities assumed at acquisition.

 

(G) To eliminate Lawry’s shareholders’ equity accounts
