Note 2 – Lakeville Acquisition On September 29, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the “Seller”) relating to its snack bars business. The acquired assets include inventory, a manufacturing facility and related equipment located in Lakeville, Minnesota, and product formulas (the “Lakeville Acquisition”). The initial purchase price was approximately $61,546 in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Following the closing, we received payments from the Seller of $2,572 for purchase price adjustments related to the actual inventory and fixed assets acquired, for a revised purchase price of $58,974, net. The purchase price for the Lakeville Acquisition was primarily funded from borrowings under the Credit Facility as amended by the Second Amendment (defined below). The Lakeville Acquisition accelerates our strategy within the growing snack bar category and diversifies our product offerings. It also allows us to offer private brand customers a complete portfolio of snack bars, including fruit and grain, crunchy, protein, sweet and salty and chewy bars that complement internally developed nutrition bars. The Lakeville Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts allocated to the fair values of certain assets acquired at the acquisition date:

Property, plant and equipment represent a manufacturing facility and related equipment located in Lakeville, Minnesota. The fair value for the property was primarily determined using a market approach. The fair values for the machinery and equipment were determined using a combination of the direct and indirect cost approaches, along with the market approach. All assets will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives as determined in accordance with our accounting policies. The product formulas asset represents the value of these formulas designed to replicate the taste, texture and appearance of branded snack bars. The fair value of the product formulas was determined using the income approach through a relief from royalty method analysis. We are amortizing formulas over a weighted average life of 5.4 years. There were no recognized or unrecognized material contingencies associated with the acquired business. The $61,950 fair value of the identifiable assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price of $58,974. Accordingly, this acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase and we recognized a gain of $2,226, net of taxes, which is reported in the caption “Bargain purchase gain, net” in our consolidated financial results for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 28, 2024. We believe the Lakeville Acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain because the Seller was motivated to divest such snack bars business, as its performance no longer supported the Seller's long-term growth targets. Net sales of $75,606 from the closing date of the Lakeville Acquisition on September 29, 2023 are included in our consolidated financial results for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 28, 2024. The closing date of the Lakeville Acquisition was on the first day of our second fiscal quarter. The Company also incurred acquisition-related costs of $142 and $811 for the quarter and thirty-nine weeks ended March 28, 2024, respectively. These costs are included in Administrative expenses. The following reflects the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company as if the Lakeville Acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2023. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results would have been if the Lakeville Acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results would be for any future periods.

These unaudited pro forma results have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of the Lakeville Acquisition to reflect elimination of transaction costs and the bargain purchase gain and to record additional interest expense and cost of sales that would have been incurred, assuming the fair value adjustment to inventory had been applied from July 1, 2022, net of related income taxes in respect of pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share performance. The impact to the above pro forma information of incremental depreciation and amortization expense is insignificant and therefore excluded from the calculation of pro forma results. Since the Lakeville Acquisition, we continue to operate in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut-related products and snacks through three sales distribution channels. Revenues from the Lakeville Acquisition are primarily in our consumer distribution channel.
