PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Table of Contents

On May 17, 2007, The Inventure Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“The Inventure Group” or the Company) completed the acquisition of Rader Farms, Inc. (“Rader Farms”) for an estimated total cost of approximately $21 million which includes the cash purchase price of $4.7 million plus $16 million in debt subject to working capital adjustments, and assumed certain liabilities of Rader Farms relating to existing business contracts and leases, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities included on Rader Farms’ balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and incurred in the ordinary course of business since such date.  Rader Farms is a Washington corporation located in Whatcom County.  The Company grows raspberries, blueberries, and rhubarb and purchases marion berries, cherries, cranberries and strawberries from a select network of fruit growers for resale. The fruit is processed, frozen and packaged for sale and distribution to wholesale customers.  We believe the acquisition provides The Inventure Group access to a growing specialty food category with a best-in-class business that generated approximately $27 million in 2006 net revenues.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the operating results of Rader Farms will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The purchase price was determined through an arms-length negotiation between the parties, and has been initially allocated to the underlying assets based on the Company’s estimate of fair values and remaining economic lives.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets will be recorded as goodwill, and as a result will be subject to the annual impairment tests prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles.  The Company has not finalized its valuation of intangible assets for the initial purchase price allocation.

Debt and Equity Financing Arrangements

In connection with the acquisition described in Item 2.01 above (the “Acquisition”), we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”).  Each of our subsidiaries is a guarantor of the Loan Agreement, which is secured by a pledge of all of the assets of our consolidated group.  The borrowing capacity available to us under the Loan Agreement consists of notes representing a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing on June 30, 2011, $10,000,000 of which is currently available to us, and a $6,000,000 term loan maturing on May 31, 2014 and a $4,000,000 real estate loan with U.S. Bank, secured by a leasehold interest in the real property we are leasing from the prior shareholders of Rader Farms in connection with the Acquisition.  We currently plan to use the proceeds of this real estate loan to reduce the outstanding line of credit referred to above.

All borrowings under the revolving line of credit will bear interest at either (i) the prime rate of interest announced by U.S. Bank from time to time or (ii) LIBOR, plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (as defined in the revolving credit facility note).  The term loan will bear interest at LIBOR, plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (as defined in the term loan note).  As is customary in such financings, U.S. Bank may terminate its commitments and accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding and exercise other remedies upon the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of an applicable cure period.




Proceeds from the term loans of approximately $10 million were used to fund the cash obligations under the Acquisition Agreement and related transaction expenses.  Additionally, we utilized $6 million of the revolving line of credit.

The detailed assumptions used to prepare the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information are contained in the notes to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information.  Pro forma adjustments for the acquisition are based upon preliminary estimates, available information and certain assumptions that management of the Company deem appropriate.  Final adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments presented herein.  The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information does not purport to represent the results of operations or the financial position of the Company that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred as of the dates indicated, nor should it be taken as indicative of the future results of the operations or future financial position of the Company.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included herein and the unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Rader Farms as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The Rader Farms financial statements referred to above are included elsewhere herein.

(UNAUDITED)

Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Balance Sheet

The following explanations describe the assumptions used in determining the pro forma adjustments necessary to present the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2007.  The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet combines the Company’s historical balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 with Rader Farms historical balance sheet as of May 17, 2007.  We have used Rader Farms operating results and accounting records through May 17, 2007 (the acquisition date) to adjust their March 31, 2007 balance sheet and develop the purchase accounting for the opening balance sheet.  The Company believes it is appropriate and more representative to base the purchase accounting on Rader Farms May 17, 2007 balances for the balance sheet and for the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet.
