4.   ACQUISITIONS

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in our consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

Fiscal 2011

On February 4, 2011, we acquired Danival SAS, a manufacturer of certified organic food products based in France, for cash consideration of €18,083 ($24,741 based on the transaction date exchange rate). Danival's product line includes over 200 branded organic sweet and salted grocery, fruits, vegetables and delicatessen products currently distributed in Europe. The Danival acquisition complements the organic food line of our Lima brand in Europe and we believe provides additional opportunities to us through expanded distribution of Danival's products in Europe, the United States and Asia. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships, recipes and the trade name. The trade name intangible relates to the "Danival" brand name, which has an indefinite life, and therefore, is not amortized. The customer relationship and recipes intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill recorded of $9,142 represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

On January 28, 2011, we acquired GG UniqueFiber AS, a manufacturer of all natural high fiber crackers based in Norway that distributed its products through independent distributors in the United States and Europe. The acquisition broadens our offerings of whole grain and high fiber products, for which we believe we can provide expanded distribution. The acquisition of GG UniqueFiber was completed for cash consideration of Norwegian kroner ("NOK") 25,000 ($4,281 based on the transaction date exchange rate) plus up to NOK 25,000 ($4,281) of additional contingent consideration based upon the achievement of specified operating results, of which the Company recorded NOK 17,600 ($3,050) as the fair value at the acquisition date. The goodwill recorded of $4,893 represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

On July 2, 2010, we acquired substantially all of the assets and business, including The Greek Gods brand of Greek-style yogurt products, and assumed certain liabilities of 3 Greek Gods, LLC ("Greek Gods"). Greek Gods developed, produced, marketed and sold The Greek Gods brand of Greek-style yogurt products into various sales channels. The acquisition of The Greek Gods brand expanded our refrigerated product offerings. The acquisition was completed for initial cash consideration of $16,277, and 242,185 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $4,785, plus additional contingent consideration based upon the achievement of specified operating results in fiscal 2011 and 2012. The Company paid $15,400 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, representing payment for the achievement of the first year's operating results and expects to pay the remaining $9,000 of contingent consideration in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company recorded $22,900 as the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships and the trade name. The trade name intangible relates to "The Greek Gods" brand name, which has an indefinite life, and therefore, is not amortized. The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The goodwill recorded of $23,686 represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, including entry into the yogurt category and use of our existing infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired business products and is deductible for tax purposes.
