Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. (the "Company") include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2001 was derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of goodwill be discontinued and replaced with periodic tests of the goodwill's impairment and that certain intangible assets other than goodwill be amortized over their useful lives. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, and has therefore recorded goodwill amortization of $41,000 and $82,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, which did not recur in 2002. The Company has completed the transitional impairment test on the unamortized goodwill balance of $1.2 million as of June 30, 2002, which resulted in no impairment loss. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which provides the accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. This Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. This Statement is effective for our 2003 fiscal year, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which excludes from the definition of long-lived assets goodwill and other intangibles that are not amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also expands the reporting of discontinued operations to include components of an entity that have been or will be disposed of rather than limiting such discontinuance to a segment of a business. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on 6 Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 1, 2002 with no material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", which provides guidance on the classification of gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain specified lease transactions. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with disposal activities. The statement is effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 146 to determine the standard's impact, if any, upon adoption. 3. Inventories Inventories consist of the following (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2002 2001 ----------- --------- Raw materials $ 954 $ 681 Finished goods 5,058 5,443 ----------- --------- $ 6,012 $ 6,124 =========== ========= Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. 4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is determined by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 is determined by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares outstanding including common stock equivalents of 47,672 and 25,738 shares, respectively which represent employee stock options. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2001, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per share because such equivalents are anti-dilutive. Options to purchase approximately 1.2 million shares outstanding at June 30, 2002 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price during the period. 7 Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Comprehensive Loss For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company's comprehensive income was $515,000, which was comprised of the net income of $453,000 and a gain on foreign currency translation adjustment of $62,000, as compared to a comprehensive net loss of $824,000, which was comprised of the net loss of $811,000 and a loss on foreign currency translation adjustment of $13,000 in the same period in 2001. 6. Restructuring During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a charge of $161,000 for severance and related costs due to a reduction in headcount as part of a corporate restructuring program. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, $157,000 of these charges had been paid. 8 Part I Item 2 Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. ("Opta" or the "Company") is a fully integrated developer, manufacturer and marketer of proprietary food ingredients used by consumer food companies to improve the nutritional content, healthfulness and taste of a wide variety of foods. The Company modifies inexpensive raw materials and produces natural food ingredients that can be considered Generally Recognized as Safe ("GRAS") under current U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulations. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with (1) the Company's accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and (2) the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements, notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period. The following Discussion and Analysis of the Company's Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections. Such forward-looking statements reflect management's good-faith evaluation of information currently available. However, because such statements are based upon, and therefore can be influenced by, a number of external variables over which management has no, or incomplete, control, they are not, and should not be read as being guarantees of future performance or of actual future results; nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or result will be achieved. Accordingly, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend to update any such forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from these expectations include sales to a small number of food and food service companies, the size and timing of significant orders, as well as deferral of orders, over which the Company has no control; the extended product testing cycles of the Company's potential customers; the variation in the Company's sales cycles from customer to customer; increased competition posed by food ingredient manufacturers; changes in pricing policies by the Company and its competitors; the adequacy of existing, or the need to secure or build additional manufacturing capacity in order to meet the demand for the Company's products; the Company's success in expanding its sales and marketing programs and its ability to gain increased market acceptance for its existing product lines; the Company's ability to timely develop and successfully introduce new products in its pipeline at acceptable costs; the ability to scale up and successfully produce its products; the potential for significant quarterly variations in the mix of sales among the Company's products; the gain or loss of significant customers; shortages in the availability of raw materials from the Company's suppliers; the impact of new government regulations on food products; the challenges of integrating the operations of acquired businesses; and general economic conditions. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include the factors discussed in the section titled "Business" under the caption "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" as well as other risk factors as stated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. 9 Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $7.4 million, representing an increase of $430,000 or 6% in comparison to $7.0 million for the comparable 2001 quarter. The increase in second quarter revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand for Canadian Harvest(R) fiber products by major cereal manufacturers, a major quick-service restaurant customer and the addition of several new international accounts. In addition, a 5% price increase for fiber products that went into effect January 1, 2002 contributed to the overall revenue increase. Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $5.5 million, representing an increase of $101,000 or 2% in comparison to $5.4 million for the comparable 2001 quarter. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 74% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 77% in the second quarter of 2001. This decrease was largely the result of lower fiber manufacturing costs due to efficiencies realized from increased production volumes during the second quarter of 2002. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $1.1 million, representing a decrease of $226,000 or 17% in comparison to $1.4 million for the comparable 2001 quarter. A majority of the decrease in SG&A expenses was principally due to decreased marketing and promotional costs as well as a reduction in amortization expense of approximately $41,000 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Research and Development Expenses. Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $417,000, representing a decrease of $214,000 or 34% in comparison to $631,000 for the comparable 2001 quarter. A majority of the decrease in R&D expenses was the result of lower salaries and related personnel costs attributable to a reduction in headcount based on the Company's corporate restructuring program. Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $19,000, representing a decrease of $90,000 in comparison to other income of $71,000 for the comparable 2001 quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest income on lower levels of cash and investments during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the 2001 quarter as well as a reduction in investment yields. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $13.9 million, representing an increase of $560,000 or 4% in comparison with $13.3 million for the first six months of 2001. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand for Canadian Harvest(R) fiber products by major cereal manufacturers and the addition of several new international accounts during the first half of 2002 as well as the impact of the price increase related to the Company's fiber products which went into effect January 1, 2002. 10 Opta Food Ingredients, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $10.4 million, representing a decrease of $67,000 or 1% in comparison to $10.4 million for the comparable 2001 period. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 75% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 79% for the same period in 2001. This decrease was largely the result of lower fiber manufacturing costs due to efficiencies realized from increased production volumes during the the first half of 2002. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $2.2 million, representing a decrease of $336,000 or 13% in comparison to $2.5 million for the comparable 2001 period. A majority of the decrease in SG&A expenses was principally due to decreased marketing and promotional costs as well as a reduction in amortization expense of approximately $82,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16% for the first six months of 2002 from 19% for the same period last year. Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $854,000, representing a decrease of $499,000 or 37% in comparison to $1.4 million for the comparable 2002 period. A majority of the decrease in R&D expenses was the result of lower salaries and related personnel costs attributable to a reduction in headcount based on the Company's corporate restructuring program. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6% for the first half of 2002 from 10% for the same period last year. Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $5,000, representing a decrease of $198,000 in comparison to other income of $193,000 for the comparable 2001 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest income on lower levels of cash and investments during 2002 as compared to the first six months of 2001 as well as a reduction in investment yields. Liquidity and Capital Resources: At June 30, 2002, the Company had $7.1 million in cash and investments and $13.7 million of working capital. For the first six months of 2002, the Company generated approximately $983,000 of positive cash flow from operations as compared with the same period in 2001 when the Company used approximately $1.0 million to fund operations. Capital expenditures were $151,000 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The higher level of capital expenditures in 2001 is as a result of expanding the Company's Cambridge, Minnesota oat fiber production facility to meet anticipated future growth. The total cost of the expansion to date has been approximately $3.7 million which was funded out of internal funds and the additional production line is anticipated to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company's mortgage loan relating to its corporate headquarters located in Bedford, MA has a balloon payment of $1.6 million due in May 2003. This amount has been included in the current portion of long term debt at June 30, 2002. It is the Company's intention to refinance the mortgage loan prior to its maturity. 11 This mortgage loan agreement contains covenants that restrict the Company's ability to participate in merger discussions, pay dividends, limit annual capital expenditures, invest in certain types of securities and obtain additional debt financing without bank approval. The Company was in compliance with respect to all covenants and restrictions in its loan agreement at June 30, 2002. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, investments, long and short term debt and product sales will be adequate to fund potential future losses as well as its planned operations, capital requirements and expansion needs through the next few years. However, the Company may require additional capital in the long term, which it may seek through equity or debt financing, equipment lease financing or funds from other sources. No assurance can be given that these funds will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, because of the Company's need for funds to support future operations, it may seek to obtain capital when conditions are favorable, even if it does not have an immediate need for additional capital at such time. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its unaudited consolidated financial statements: o The Company maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. o The Company maintains allowances for estimated excess or obsolete inventories based on the Company's review of inventory levels, projected future sales and comparison of actual manufacturing costs to standard costs. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional allowances or write-downs may be required. o Property, plant and equipment, goodwill, patents, trademarks and other intangible assets owned by the Company are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates over the period that such assets will generate revenue. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying capital investments or intangible assets could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of such assets, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future. 12 Part I Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk - --------------------------------------------------------- Market Rate Risk Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or hedging purposes, and does not consider its exposure in these areas to be material. Interest Rate Risk The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to its cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash equivalents consist of money market mutual funds and other high-credit quality short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair market value of these instruments due to their short maturities. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk The Company conducts a portion of its business outside the United States through its foreign subsidiary. The Company's foreign subsidiary maintains its accounting records in its local currency. Consequently, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the translation of its foreign statement of operations into U.S. dollars, which may in turn affect the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material impact on the Company's results. 13 Opta Food Ingredients, Inc.

Part II - Other Information - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 6 (a) Exhibits (11) Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computation (in thousands, except per share data):
For the three months For the six months ended June 30, ended June 30, ---------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------ ------- ------ -------- Net income (loss) $ 367 ($ 312) $ 453 ($ 811) ====== ======= ====== ======== Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 10,857 10,797 10,857 10,792 ====== ======= ====== ======== Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 10,905 10,797 10,883 10,792 ====== ======= ====== ======== Basic net income (loss) per share $ .03 ($ .03) $ .04 ($ .08) ====== ======= ====== ======== Diluted net income (loss) per share $ .03 ($ .03) $ .04 ($ .08) ====== ======= ====== ========
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, diluted net income (loss) per share is determined by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares outstanding including common stock equivalents of 47,672 and 25,738 shares, respectively which represent employee stock options. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2001, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per share because such equivalents are anti-dilutive. Options to purchase approximately 1.2 million at June 30, 2002 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price during the period.
