Page 10 of 17 Pages This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Hain Food Group, Inc. (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 4 supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D dated February 18, 1997, filed by certain of the Reporting Persons (as defined herein) and all amendments thereto (collectively, the "Initial Statement"). This Amendment No. 4 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report the recent acquisition of Shares for the accounts of certain of the Reporting Persons, as a result of which the percentage of Shares of which certain of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner has increased by more than one percent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows. Item 2. Identity and Background. This Statement is filed on behalf of Soros Fund Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SFM LLC"), Mr. George Soros ("Mr. Soros"), Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller"), White Rock Capital Partners, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("White Rock Partners"), White Rock Capital Management, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("White Rock Management"), White Rock Capital, Inc., a Texas corporation ("White Rock, Inc."), Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Updated information concerning the Managing Directors of SFM LLC is attached hereto as Annex A and incorporated herein by reference. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. White Rock Management expended approximately $2,786,130 of the working capital of White Rock Clients other than Quasar Partners and Collins Capital to purchase the Shares reported herein as being acquired within the last 60 days. White Rock Management expended approximately $990,162 of the working capital of White Rock Partners to purchase the Shares reported herein as being acquired within the last 60 days. The Shares (and securities derivative thereof) held for the accounts of Quasar Partners, other SFM Clients, Collins Capital, White Rock Clients other than Quasar Partners and Collins Capital, White Rock Partners, Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton may be held through margin accounts maintained with brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firm's credit policies. The Shares which may be held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the respective accounts. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) (i) As a consequence SFM LLC's ability to terminate the White Rock Contract with respect to all investments, including those involving the Shares, and acquire voting and dispositive power over the Shares within 60 days, notwithstanding the fact that none of SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller currently exercises such power, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 1,326,000 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners (approximately 11.59% of the total number of Shares outstanding). Page 11 of 17 Pages (ii) Each of White Rock Management and White Rock, Inc. may be deemed the beneficial owner of 1,916,000 Shares (approximately 16.75% of the total number of Shares outstanding). This number consists of (1) 1,326,000 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners, (2) 150,000 Shares held for the account of Collins Capital, (3) 280,000 Shares held for the accounts of White Rock Clients other than Quasar Partners and Collins Capital and (4) 160,000 Shares held for the account of White Rock Partners. (iii) Thomas U. Barton may be deemed the beneficial owner of 1,971,000 Shares (approximately 17.23% of the total number of Shares outstanding assuming the exercise of the Barton Options). This number consists of (1) 1,326,000 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners, (2) 150,000 Shares held for the account of Collins Capital, (3) 280,000 Shares held for the accounts of White Rock Clients other than Quasar Partners and Collins Capital, (4) 160,000 Shares held for the account of White Rock Partners and (5) 55,000 Shares issuable upon exercise by Thomas U. Barton of the Barton Options currently held for his account. (iv) Joseph U. Barton may be deemed the beneficial owner of 1,941,000 Shares (approximately 16.96% of the total number of Shares outstanding). This number consists of (1) 1,326,000 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners, (2) 150,000 Shares held for the account of Collins Capital, (3) 280,000 Shares held for the accounts of White Rock Clients other than Quasar Partners and Collins Capital, (4) 160,000 Shares held for the account of White Rock Partners and (5) 25,000 Shares held for his account. (v) White Rock Partners may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 160,000 Shares held for its account (approximately 1.40% of the total number of Shares outstanding). Despite the increase reported herein in the number of Shares that certain of the Reporting Persons may be deemed a beneficial owner of, the above beneficial ownership percentage is lower than that reported in the previous filing on Schedule 13D due to the fact that, based on information provided by the Issuer, the outstanding number of Shares has increased since such filing. (b) (i) Each of White Rock Management (pursuant to the Quasar Partners Letter), White Rock, Inc. (as the general partner of White Rock Management), Thomas U. Barton (as a shareholder of White Rock, Inc.) and Joseph U. Barton (as a shareholder of White Rock, Inc.) is currently vested with shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the 1,326,000 Shares held for the account Quasar Partners. SFM LLC has the contractual authority on behalf of Quasar Partners to terminate the White Rock Contract within 60 days and, as a result, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed to have the ability to acquire the voting and dispositive power held by White Rock with respect to the 1,326,000 Shares. (ii) Each of White Rock Management (pursuant to the Collins Capital Letter), White Rock, Inc. (as the general partner of White Rock Management), Thomas U. Barton (as a shareholder of White Rock, Inc.) and Joseph U. Barton (as a shareholder of White Rock, Inc.) is currently vested with shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the 150,000 Shares held for the account of Collins Capital.
