Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Companys annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the Companys financial information. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted under the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through December 11, 2015, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
Cash The Company maintains its cash accounts with banks located in the United States of America and Mexico. Cash balances in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per bank. The Company had $1,250,000 cash balance, prior to consideration of outstanding checks, with one bank at September 30, 2015, that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Management provides a reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on known customer exposures, historical credit experience, and any known specific issues or disputes, which exist as of the balance sheet date. Fully reserved balances are written-off against the reserve once collection is determined to be remote.

Grower Loans Loans to growers are collateralized by the contracted crops in the field and are repaid from proceeds of harvested crops. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has only one loan outstanding to a long-time grower and provider of freezer strawberries. The Company generally charges interest on the loans at a varying rate based on the Companys borrowing rate and relationship with the grower. The average interest rate charged on the loan outstanding was 5.75%. Interest income on loans to growers is classified as financing revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Inventories Inventories consist principally of processed frozen strawberries and other fruits. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes raw fruit, packaging, labor, and overhead costs.
Concentrations Sales to the Companys recurring customers are generally made on open account terms. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, two customers accounted for 24% and 19%, and 25% and 19% of accounts receivable, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, four customers represented 23%, 18%, 11% and 10% of total revenues, and for the nine months ended 2014, three customers represented 24%, 18% and 11% of total revenues, respectively. For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, three customers represented 24%, 19% and 14% and for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, four customers represented 22%, 15%, 12% and 10% of total revenues, respectively. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on its accounts receivable.
Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings |
40 years | |||
Machinery and equipment |
57 years | |||
Office furniture and equipment |
35 years | |||
Vehicles |
37 years | |||
Software |
3 years |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the term of the related lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred.
Long-Lived Assets Management reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived assets (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. The carrying amount of the long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). Management determined there was no impairment as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of tradenames, customer relationships, and noncompetition agreements. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The period of amortization is 2 to 10 years (see Note 6).
Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are measured for impairment at least annually or when events indicate that impairment exists. The Company calculates impairment as the excess of the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets over their estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of fair value, a write-down is recorded. The Company concluded that there was no impairment to intangible assets at September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company does not amortize its goodwill. The Company performs its impairment test annually at its fiscal year-end or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Such review entails comparing the carrying value to the fair value. If the aggregate carrying value of goodwill exceeds the fair value, the goodwill is impaired to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the aggregate carrying value. No impairment was recorded during the nine months ended September, 30, 2015 and 2014.

Loan Origination Costs Loan origination costs reflect the balance of loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs that are deferred and recognized over the life of the related note. The net fees and costs are amortized into interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest method
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Management determines fair value using an exit price to value an asset or liability, which is the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. The Company applies a hierarchy of information that prioritizes market inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument | |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability |
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the mix of its debt between fixed and variable rate instruments. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had two interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $32,175,000 and $20,000,000. Interest rate swaps were not designated as accounting hedges and expire on May 3, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively. Three swaps were in place as of December 31, 2014, the notional amounts were $32,587,000, $20,000,000 and $7,000,000. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreements are recognized in interest expense.
The following table presents assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet on a recurring basis.

At September 30, 2015, management believes that the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, grower loans, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. Management believes that the carrying amount of debt approximates the fair value and has been calculated based on the borrowing rates available as of September 30, 2015, for debt with similar terms and maturities.
Noncontrolling Interest On December 3, 2014, the Company acquired a 75% interest in Opus Foods, Mexico S.A. de C.V (Opus). Noncontrolling interest at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is related to the membership interest the Company does not own in Opus.
Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and is adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The requisite service period is the vesting period for stock options.

Revenue Recognition Sales of frozen fruit are recognized as revenue upon passing of title and risk when a third-party shipper is used, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collectability is reasonably assured, and upon acceptance of delivery by the customer if the Company uses their own trucks. The Companys product sales consists primarily of frozen product that is packaged and processed in processing plants and sold to customers. The Company records all product sales at the gross sales amount.
Service revenues are derived from blast freezing, cooling and cold storage for third parties. Service revenue is recorded when services are performed.
Promotional Allowances The Company records the consideration paid to resellers as a reduction of the selling prices of the Companys products and services. The Company has classified $670,000 and $569,000 as a reduction of revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $2,246,000 and $1,799,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue reflects the inventory cost of the product sold and is recorded simultaneously when revenue of the product is recognized. Product costs include fruit costs, ingredients, packaging, wages to process the fruit, rents and utilities, supplies and depreciation. Cost of revenue also includes cold storage and handling costs.
Shipping and Handling The Company records shipping costs in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred tax items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, management evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
11
Additionally, the Company accrues for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recorded.
Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounts that reflect significant estimates as of September 30, 2015, include the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for excess and obsolete inventories, and accrued expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain situations. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Based on the Companys evaluation, the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, which amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. This ASU will make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. The ASU also expands the scope of ASC 205-20 to disposals of equity method investments and businesses that, upon initial acquisition, qualify as held for sale. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. The ASU is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606). This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU, as amended by ASU 2015-14, are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted as of an annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
12
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU is intended to define managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organizations ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures, and provides guidance to an organizations management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. Until the issuance of this ASU, US GAAP lacked guidance about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organizations ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
ASU No. 2015-03, Interest Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), was issued in April 2015. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in an entitys balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of being presented as a deferred charge in the balance sheet. Significantly, the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by ASU 2015-03. An entity is required to adopt ASU 2015-03 for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market (market in this context is defined as one of three different measures, one of which is net realizable value). The ASU is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

6. | GOODWILL & INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
On January 10, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of all issued and outstanding shares of Pacific Ridge Farms, LLC, for a total purchase price of $11,077,000. The purpose of the acquisition was to expand the
14
Companys production capacity. The Company acquired $229,000 of cash as part of the acquisition. Transaction costs associated with the Pacific Ridge Farms acquisition totaled $679,000, including $7,000 and $665,000 in the three and nine month period ended September 2014, respectively, and are recorded in transactions costs on the consolidated statements of operations
The company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The Company acquired certain definite-lived intangible assets, including customer relationships, tradename, and assembled workforce; however they were deemed to have negligible value under the value in exchange premise and as such were economically adjusted to a zero value. The company used the in-use premise method to fair value the land and buildings acquired. The sum of the acquired assets and liabilities exceeded the purchase price and as such, the Company recorded a gain on acquisition of $1,208,000 in the other income section of the consolidated statements of operations.

The Second Amendment also increased the aggregate principal term amount from $80,000,000 to $125,000,000. The proceeds from the increased term were used to fund a distribution to the Companys stockholders, to repay a $1,750,000 promissory note dated June 27, 2013 and to pay the fees associated with the Second Amendment. Principal payments increased to $312,500 per quarter commencing March 31, 2014, through December 31, 2018.

10. | STOCK OPTIONS |
In 2013, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the Plan), which is a plan for eligible persons of the Company under which nonqualified stock options may be granted. The option vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Options granted include both performance-based options and time-based options. Performance-based options vest in full upon the achievement of a specified stock price. Time-vested options vest 20% on the vesting commencement date, and then 20% on each of the four anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. Both option types expire 10 years from the grant date. The exercise price of the option cannot be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted.
On February 28, 2014, the Company declared and subsequently paid a pro rata cash dividend to its stockholders totaling $40,000,000 and lowered the exercise price of 79,733 stock options by $54.93 per share. The cash payments totaling $40,000,000 reduced additional paid-in capital by the same amount. The 2013 Stock Option Plan has nondiscretionary antidilution provisions that require the fair value of the option awards to be equalized in the event of an equity restructuring. Consequently, the board of directors of the Company was obligated under the antidilution provisions to approve the reduction of the exercise price on the unvested options. No incremental stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the dividend for the vested options or reduction in exercise price for the unvested options.
On December 3, 2014 in conjunction with the acquisition of Opus Foods, Mexico S.A. de C.V, and by way of unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors, the total number of shares authorized for grant under the 2013 Stock Option Plan was increased to 88,233 and 8,500 options were granted. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value as of the grant date.
19
Stock option activity under the Plan for the nine month period end September 30, 2015 and the twelve month period end December 31, 2014, was as follows:

(1) | The grant date weighted-average exercise price reflects the reduction of the exercise price by $54.93 per share for the 79,733 stock options that were part of the February 28, 2014 dividend discussed above. |
The fair value of stock options granted during 2014 was $94.71 per share for time-based options and was estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The fair value of stock options reflects a volatility factor, which was calculated using an average of peer companies historical volatility. The expected life was computed using the simplified method because the Company does not have relevant historical data to provide an estimate. The fair value of stock options was determined using the following assumptions:
December 31, 2014 |

Expected term (years) |
6.5 | |||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.81 | % | ||

| % |
(1) | The board of directors paid a dividend to stockholders in February 2014 .The Companys board of directors does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. |
The fair value for performance-based options issued in 2014 was $22.77 per share. No performance based options were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The fair value of performance-based options was estimated at the grant date using the Monte-Carlo simulation model based on a number of factors, including a volatility of 30%, an estimated term of 1 year, the estimated price of the Companys common stock, and the estimated probability of achieving the Companys performance conditions as of the grant date.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options aggregated to $2,162,000 and $2,758,000 which is expected to be recognized by the end of 2019. The Companys pretax compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation for the three month period September 2015 and 2014 was $204,000 and $170,000, respectively. The compensation expense for the nine month period September 2015 and 2014 was $596,000 and $512,000, respectively. Compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

11. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Farmland Leases The Company has several farmland lease commitments that expire on various dates through July 2021. The Company subleases the farmland to several third-party companies, with average monthly rental income of approximately $155,000. Sublease agreements expire on various dates through 2015. Historically, the sublease agreements renew annually however in 2013, management determined that costs for 346 acres of farmland will be incurred without economic benefit to the Company because the value that could be generated from the land (land rents for the next growing season) is not enough to cover the land expense. The land leases expire between 2014 and 2016. The expected loss accrued as of September 30, 2015 is $239,000 and December 31, 2014 is $436,000.
Facility, Corporate Office, and Equipment Lease The Company has lease commitments for production facilities, corporate office facilities, and certain equipment under operating leases. The lease terms range from two to six years and expire at various dates through 2019. Some leases contain renewal options.
Indemnities and Guarantees During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include certain real estate leases under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Management is not aware of any event that might result in a liability at September 30, 2015.
Litigation From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
1. Description of Transaction
On October 9, 2015 (the acquisition date), SunOpta completed the Sunrise Acquisition for a cash purchase price of $287.2 million, subject to certain adjustments; the repayment of all outstanding obligations under Sunrises Credit Agreement dated March 19, 2013 (the Senior Credit Facility); and the assumption of certain indebtedness of Sunrise. Sunrise, through its subsidiaries, including Sunrise Growers, Inc., is engaged in the business of processing, marketing, distributing and selling conventional and organic frozen fruit.
Concurrent with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition, SunOpta repaid the aggregate amount of all outstanding obligations under Sunrises Senior Credit Facility. As of the acquisition date, the outstanding obligations under the Senior Credit Facility were $171.5 million in the aggregate.
Immediately prior to the Sunrise Acquisition, each outstanding Sunrise employee stock option, unexpired and unexercised, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to a per share amount, derived based on the purchase consideration transferred to effect the Sunrise Acquisition, over the exercise price per share.
On July 30, 2015, SunOpta and its subsidiary SunOpta Foods Inc. entered into a commitment letter with certain financial institutions providing for committed bridge financing of up to $430.0 million in support of the Sunrise Acquisition, consisting of up to $290.0 million (or up to $330.0 million if SunOpta consummated the Common Stock Offering for gross proceeds of $100.0 million) of borrowings under second lien secured credit facilities of SunOpta Foods Inc. (the Opco Bridge) and up to $140.0 million of unsecured senior subordinated credit facilities of SunOpta Inc. (the Holdco Bridge). As described below, SunOpta consummated the Common Stock Offering in lieu of any borrowings under the Holdco Bridge.
In connection with the Sunrise Acquisition, SunOpta completed the following debt and equity financing transactions for gross proceeds of $430.0 million in the aggregate:
| on October 9, 2015 (the funding date), SunOpta Foods Inc., SunOpta and certain of SunOptas other subsidiaries entered into the Loan Agreement with a group of lenders, pursuant to which SunOpta Foods Inc. borrowed under the Opco Bridge an aggregate principal amount of $330.0 million of term loans (the Initial Loans); and |
| on September 30, 2015, SunOpta completed the Common Stock Offering of 16,670,000 common shares at a price of $6.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $100.0 million, or net proceeds of approximately $95.3 million after deducting underwriting and other issuance costs. |
The Initial Loans made under the Loan Agreement mature on the first anniversary of the funding date. If any Initial Loans remain outstanding on the first anniversary of the funding date and no bankruptcy event of default then exists, all Initial Loans then outstanding automatically convert into term loans (such converted loans, the Term Loans) that would mature on the seventh anniversary of the funding date.
On September 15, 2015, SunOpta announced a proposed private offering of $330.0 million of senior secured second lien notes due 2022 (the Notes Offering). Due to market conditions, SunOpta decided not to proceed with the Notes Offering. Although SunOpta intends to continue to explore alternative long-term financing arrangements to replace the Initial Loans prior to the first anniversary of the funding date, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, SunOpta has assumed that the Initial Loans will convert into Term Loans on the first anniversary of the funding date.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, and was based on the historical financial statements of SunOpta and Sunrise. The acquisition method of accounting is based on the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.
5
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. ASC 820 defines the term fair value and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and others, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Sunrise were recorded as of the acquisition date, primarily at their respective fair values, and added to those of SunOpta. The results of operations of Sunrise are included in the financial statements of the combined company commencing as of the acquisition date.
Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (i.e., advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. SunOptas total estimated acquisition-related transaction costs are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations as they do not have a continuing impact on the combined operating results. Instead such costs are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a reduction to cash and cash equivalents and a decrease to retained earnings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Sunrise Acquisition, or the acquisition-related integration or restructuring charges expected to be incurred to achieve those synergies or enhancements.
3. Accounting Policies
SunOpta is in the process of reviewing Sunrises accounting policies in detail. As a result of this review, SunOpta may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined company. At this time, SunOpta is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, other than the presentation differences described in note 6. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are consistent with those described in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of SunOpta for the three quarters ended October 3, 2015 and the audited consolidated financial statements of SunOpta for the year ended January 3, 2015.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
(1) | Pursuant to the PSA, SunOpta deducted from the cash purchase price the aggregate amount paid by SunOpta to the holders of Sunrise stock options at the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. All outstanding stock options vested upon the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition, pursuant to the terms of Sunrises existing stock option agreements, and were cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to a per share amount, derived based on the purchase consideration, over the exercise price per share. The aggregate amount paid by SunOpta at the acquisition date to settle all the outstanding options was $23.0 million. |
(2) | Pursuant to the PSA, SunOpta deducted from the cash purchase price the aggregate amount paid by SunOpta for acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by Sunrise in connection with the Sunrise Acquisition. The aggregate amount paid by SunOpta at the acquisition date to settle these transaction costs was $20.9 million. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, this amount has been recorded as an assumed liability by SunOpta as part of the acquisition accounting. |
(3) | Pursuant to the PSA, SunOpta deducted from the cash purchase price 50% of the representations and warranties insurance policy premium of approximately $1.6 million paid by SunOpta at the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the amount of the insurance premium has been included in acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by SunOpta. The representations and warranties insurance policy generally covers losses in excess of $6.8 million (up to a specified limit) to which SunOpta is contractually entitled in respect of a breach of the PSA during a policy period from July 30, 2015 until the date that is three years from the closing date of the Sunrise Acquisition. |
(4) | Pursuant to the PSA, SunOpta paid an amount of $14.8 million at the acquisition date for the estimated tax benefits expected to be realized by Sunrise on the deduction for tax purposes of certain stock option and acquisition-related transaction costs. |
(5) | The principal balance of Sunrises Senior Credit Facility of $170.7 million as of October 3, 2015 has been reflected as part of the estimated purchase consideration as the debt was repaid concurrently with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition and, accordingly, was not assumed by SunOpta as part of the Sunrise Acquisition. As of the acquisition date, the principal balance of Sunrises Senior Credit Facility amounted to $171.5 million. |
(6) | As all Sunrise stock options vested upon consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition pursuant to the terms of Sunrises existing stock option agreements, the cash consideration paid to the option holders of $23.0 million as of the acquisition date has been attributed to services prior to the Sunrise Acquisition and included as a component of the estimated purchase price in accordance with ASC 805. The cash consideration paid for stock options attributable to services prior to the Sunrise Acquisition is estimated to approximate the fair value of these options and, accordingly, no portion of the cash consideration paid to the option holders has been reflected as compensation expense for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. |

(1) | Includes a preliminary adjustment of $16.0 million to record Sunrises inventory at its estimated fair value. The assumptions as to the fair value of Sunrises inventory may change as SunOpta completes, with the assistance of a third-party appraiser, a valuation of Sunrises inventory as of the acquisition date. The pro forma fair value adjustment to inventory is based on Sunrises inventory as of October 3, 2015, adjusted as follows: |
| Finished goods estimated at selling price less cost of sales, holding costs and a reasonable profit allowance; |
| Work in process estimated at selling price less cost of sales, outstanding production costs, holding costs and a reasonable profit allowance; and |
| Raw materials estimated at cost. |
(2) | Reflects the elimination of the deferred financing costs related to Sunrises Senior Credit Facility, as the facility was terminated concurrently with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. |

(4) | Includes a preliminary adjustment of $5.5 million to record Sunrises property, plant and equipment at an estimated fair value. The preliminary fair value estimate has been derived based on market evidence for real property and recent appraisals completed for personal property, as well as a review of the assets remaining useful lives, current replacement costs and disposal costs. The assumptions as to the fair value of Sunrises property, plant and equipment may change as SunOpta completes, with the assistance of a third-party appraiser, the valuation activities in connection with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. |
(5) | A preliminary fair value estimate of $165.0 million has been allocated to intangible assets acquired, primarily consisting of customer relationships. Amortization related to the fair value of the intangible assets, taken over an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately 23 years, is reflected as pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. |
Key variables in determining the fair value of customer relationships are the estimated customer attrition rate and the percentage of revenue growth attributable to existing customers. Changes to either or both of these variables could have a significant impact on the customer relationships intangible assets values, and changes to the estimated customer attrition rate could have a significant impact on the estimated useful lives of these assets. The expected customer attrition rate assumed in the estimate of fair value for the customer relationships intangible assets was supported by an analysis of historical attrition of Sunrises customers and consideration of Sunrises amortization policy of previously acquired customer relationships, amortization policies adopted for acquired customer relationships by other companies in similar transactions, and the contractual terms between Sunrise and its customers. The percentage of revenue growth attributable to existing customers assumed in the estimate of fair value for the customer relationships intangible assets was supported by an analysis of Sunrises historical and forecasted revenue growth rates by customer. A decrease or increase of 1% in the projected customer attrition rate or a decrease or increase of 10% in the percentage of revenue growth attributable to existing customers may result in a fair value increase or decrease in the customer relationships intangible assets in the range of approximately $15 to $20 million. Such change would increase or decrease the related deferred tax liability by approximately $6 to $8

million, with a resulting decrease or increase to goodwill of approximately $9 to $12 million. The assumptions as to the fair value of Sunrises identifiable intangible assets (including assumptions regarding customer attrition and revenue growth attributable to existing customers), the composition of the assets and useful lives assigned to the assets may change as SunOpta completes, with the assistance of a third-party appraiser, the valuation activities in connection with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition.
(6) | Sunrises Senior Credit Facility was terminated concurrently with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. Accordingly, borrowings under the line of credit facility of $38.0 million as of October 3, 2015 have been excluded from bank indebtedness, and borrowings under the term loan facility of $132.8 million as of October 3, 2015 have been excluded from long-term debt (including the current portion thereof). |
(7) | Includes acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by Sunrise in connection with the Sunrise Acquisition of $20.9 million, of which no significant amount was expensed by Sunrise in the three quarters ended October 3, 2015. |
(8) | Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the estimate of the purchase consideration expected to be transferred to effect the Sunrise Acquisition and the preliminary values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. |
(9) | For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the carrying value of Sunrises non-controlling interest in Opus Foods, Mexico S.A. de C.V., its 75%-owned Mexican subsidiary is assumed to approximate fair value based on Sunrises acquisition and appraisal of this subsidiary in December 2014. This assumption may change as SunOpta completes, with the assistance of a third-party appraiser, a valuation of the net assets of the subsidiary in connection with the consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. |
6. Reclassification Adjustments
Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Sunrise to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted by SunOpta. In addition, SunOpta will be reclassifying share issuance costs related to the Common Stock Offering that were recorded in other assets on its consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2015.

(1) | Interest expense, including the amortization of related deferred financing costs, under Sunrises Senior Credit Facility was eliminated as this facility was repaid by SunOpta upon consummation of the Sunrise Acquisition. |
(2) | For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Initial Loans are assumed to bear interest at an initial rate of 7.0% per annum, increasing by 0.50% per annum at the end of each three-month period after the funding date, and the Term Loans are assumed to bear interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum. An estimated $20.6 million of financing costs are expected to be incurred by SunOpta in connection with the Loan Agreement. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, SunOpta has assumed that these costs will be deferred and amortized over the estimated seven-year term of the Loan Agreement using the effective interest method. Giving effect to the amortization of the deferred financing costs, the effective interest rate on borrowings under the Loan Agreement is estimated to be approximately 10.5% per annum. The estimated annual interest expense related to the borrowings under the Loan Agreement would increase or decrease by approximately $0.4 million for each 0.125% change in the estimated interest rate. |
(3) | The estimated interest rate on incremental borrowings under SunOptas North American credit facilities is approximately 2.0% per annum. |
(f) | To record an estimate of the income tax impacts of the foregoing pro forma adjustments on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. An estimated combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate of 39.5% has been used. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different from the tax rate assumed for purposes of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for a variety of reasons, including available tax credits and deductions. SunOpta and Sunrise have assumed that their remaining net deferred tax assets presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of October 3, 2015 will be utilized based on reversing temporary differences, expected future income and, if necessary, available tax planning strategies. |
(g) | The unaudited pro forma combined basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented are based on the basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding of SunOpta after giving effect to the Common Stock Offering of 16,670,000 common shares as if the offering had occurred on December 29, 2013. |
(h) | To eliminate Sunrises accounts receivable balance from SunOpta as of October 3, 2015. |
(i) | To adjust inventory as of October 3, 2015 to an estimate of fair value. The combined companys cost of goods sold will reflect the increased valuation of Sunrises inventory as the inventory acquired in the Sunrise Acquisition is sold, which is expected to occur within the first year post-acquisition. Because there is no continuing impact of the acquired inventory adjustment on the combined operating results, it is not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations. |
(j) | To adjust prepaid expenses and other current assets to eliminate deferred financing costs related to Sunrises Senior Credit Facility. |
