Item  2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     (a) On May 18, 1999, Hain Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Hain
Acquisition") and wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hain Food Group, Inc. ("Hain"),
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 6, 1999, by and among
Hain, Hain Acquisition and Natural Nutrition Group, Inc. ("NNG") (the "Merger
Agreement"), Hain Acquisition merged with and into NNG with NNG as the surviving
corporation (the "Merger").


     As provided in the Merger Agreement,

          (i) each outstanding share of the common stock, par value $.01 per
     share, of NNG ("NNG Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive
     a combination of (i) cash and (ii) a 7% subordinated convertible note due
     2004 (collectively, the "Notes");

          (ii) each outstanding share of preferred stock was converted into the
     right to receive cash; and

          (iii) certain options were converted into the right to receive a
     combination of cash and a Note and certain other options were converted
     into the right to receive cash.

     The Notes are convertible into shares of Hain common stock, par value $.01
per share ("Hain Common Stock"). The number of shares of Hain Common Stock to be
issued upon conversion of each Note will be based upon the conversion price
equal to the average of the closing prices of Hain Common Stock for the ten
trading days prior to any conversion of that Note.

     Hain has filed a Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on
Form S-3 to register up to 991,736 shares of Hain Common Stock to be issued to
holders of the Notes upon their conversion.

     In connection with the Merger, Hain entered into a Credit Agreement with
IBJ Whitehall Bank & Trust Company, as issuer and administrative agent for the
lenders named therein, and Fleet Bank, N.A., as syndication agent (the "Credit
Facility"). Under the Credit Facility, the term loan portion is $130 million and
the revolving line of credit is $30.0 million.

     Hain funded the cash consideration paid to holders of NNG Common Stock
through borrowings under the Credit Facility.

     (b) Assets constituting plant, equipment or other physical property
acquired by Hain (through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hain Acquisition) in the
Merger were used by NNG and




its subsidiaries in manufacturing. At the present time, Hain intends to use
these assets in the same manner in which they were used prior to the Merger.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Natural Nutrition Group, Inc. and subsidiaries
(formerly known as Intrepid Food Holdings, Inc.)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Natural Nutrition Group, Inc.
and subsidiaries (formerly known as Intrepid Food Holdings, Inc.) (the Company)
as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Natural Nutrition Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries (formerly known as Intrepid Food Holdings, Inc.) as of December 31,
1997 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

F-7 NATURAL NUTRITION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (Formerly known as Intrepid Food Holdings, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands, except share data) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization - Natural Nutritional Group, Inc. (formerly known as Intrepid Food Holdings, Inc.) (NNG) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 1995 to acquire and develop natural and organic food companies. In April 1996, NNG acquired the outstanding capital stock of Health Valley Foods, Inc. and Health Valley Manufacturing Company (Predecessor Company). In October 1996, NNG acquired The Breadshop, Inc. (Breadshop) (Note 2). NNG is a manufacturer and marketer of premium natural and organic food products in the United States. NNG markets (i) breakfast cereals and granolas, (ii) granola bars, cereal bars, cookies, crackers and other baked goods and (iii) canned and instant soups and chilies, as well as other food products, primarily under its Health Valley(R) and Breadshop(R) brands. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flow include the combined activities of NNG and its subsidiaries from the dates of acquisition. Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 and 1998 presentations. Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of NNG and its subsidiaries (the Company). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Stock Split - During 1998, the Company effected a 290-for-1 stock split of its common stock in connection with an initial public offering which did not become effective. All share and per share amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been restated to reflect the stock split. Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost (FIFO) or market value. F-8 Plant and Equipment - Plant and equipment, including capitalized lease assets, are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the related leases and is calculated using the straight-line method. Useful lives are as follows: Machinery and equipment 3 to 20 years Furniture and fixtures 3 to 14 years Leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, whereas significant improvements, which materially increase values or extend useful lives, are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from the disposal of assets are charged or credited to operations as incurred. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturities of such instruments. The carrying values of term loans approximate fair value due to the fact that they are based on variable interest rates. Revenue Recognition - The Company records revenue at the time the related products are shipped to the customer. Customer Concentration - The Company had significant sales to a significant distributor who accounted for 14% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The Company also had significant sales to two individual distributors who accounted for 14% and 13% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, and 17% and 22% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Given the significant amount of revenues derived from certain customers, collectibility issues arising from financial difficulties of any of these customers or the loss of any such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Vendor Concentration - The Company also utilizes a single contract manufacturer for the production of canned soups and chilis, which accounted for approximately 25% of revenues for each of the two years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 and 23% of revenues for the year ending December 31, F-9 1998. The inability of the contract manufacturer to supply the Company with sufficient product quantities in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect until alternate sources could be identified or developed. Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying value of plant and equipment and intangible assets using current and anticipated net income and undiscounted cash flows, and, if necessary, an impairment is recorded. During 1998, the Company recorded $1,656 to reflect the impairments of plant and equipment and $476 to writedown the values of assets held for sale to net realizable values. These charges are included in restructuring and other charges in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The carrying values of the assets written down to net realizable values were approximately $2,545 at December 31, 1998. The Company also wrote off $2,047 of leasehold improvements related to vacated warehouse facilities (Notes 5 and 10). Intangible and Other Assets - The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, as well as trademarks related to the Breadshop acquisition, are included in intangible and other assets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 40-year period. Accumulated amortization of intangibles amounted to $113, $499 and $1,229 at December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. In 1997, the Company undertook a program to update its packaging designs. Costs of $420 and $782, associated with development of new packaging designs, were capitalized during 1997 and 1998, respectively, and are being amortized over three years, beginning with related product shipments. Comprehensive Income - The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, on January 1, 1998. SFAS F-10 No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company does not have any comprehensive income components requiring separate disclosure. Stock-Based Compensation - The Financial Accounting Standards Board's SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees. The standard defines a fair value method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. As permitted by the SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and discloses, in a note to the financial statements, pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value method of accounting. The Company will continue to use APB Opinion No. 25 for measurement and recognition of employee stock-based transactions. 2. ACQUISITIONS On April 15, 1996, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, NNG acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of the Predecessor Company for $34,339, in cash, including $2,339 in transaction costs. Additionally, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the former owner was granted an option to purchase 100 shares of common stock of Health Valley at $22,222.22 per share. During 1997, this option was terminated and a new option was issued. The new option enables the former owner to purchase 406,000 shares of NNG common stock at $.34 per share, and up to an unspecified number of shares of Series A preferred stock at $1,000 per share to be determined based on the number of shares of Series A preferred stock redeemed prior to the exercise of such option. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. This treatment resulted in approximately $4,903 of cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired. This goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Health Valley results of operations have been F-11 included in the accompanying financial statements from the date of acquisition. On October 31, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Breadshop for $9,253 in cash, including $502 in transaction costs. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. This treatment resulted in approximately $3,519 of cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired as of October 31, 1996, and a trademark valuation of $5,493. These amounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Breadshop's results have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The results of the Company, had Breadshop been acquired as of April 15, 1996 and included in the accompanying financial statements, would be as follows: Revenue $45,969 ======= Net loss $ (779) ======= F-12 3. INCOME TAXES In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the corresponding bases used for financial reporting purposes. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize 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 asset will not be realized. The Predecessor Company's income tax benefit for the period January 1, 1996 to April 15, 1996 reflects the future income tax benefit expected to be realized. Components of the income tax expense are as follows at December 31: 1996 1997 1998 Current: Federal $ 86 $ - $ 131 State 11 3 5 Other - (115) -------- ------ ------- 97 (112) 136 Deferred: Federal (225) 535 (3,413) State 141 (36) (333) -------- ------ ------- (84) 499 (3,746) Change in valuation allowance - - 4,886 -------- ------ ------- $ 13 $ 387 $ 1,276 ======== ====== ======= F-13 Major components of the Company's net deferred taxes at December 31, 1997 and 1998 are as follows: 1997 1998 Net operating loss carryforwards $2,172 $6,126 Accruals 197 1,320 Reserves 359 760 Basis difference in acquired assets (1,198) (1,477) Depreciation and amortization (787) (2,007) AMT credit and car- ryforwards 80 84 Capitalization of inventory costs 63 80 Other, including state taxes 254 - ------ ------ 1,140 4,886 Valuation allowance - (4,886) ------- ------ Net deferred tax asset (liability) $1,140 $ - ====== ======= At December 31, 1998, the Company has available net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $15,150 and $9,313, for federal and California income taxes, respectively. These NOLs will begin to expire in the Years 2010 and 2000, respectively. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, contains provisions that may limit the Company's utilization of its NOL carryforward because of the change in ownership of the Company's stock. The limitation, if any, applies to NOL generated prior to the change in ownership (prior to April 15, 1996). Management believes that the limitations, if any, do not have a material impact on the Company's ability to utilize such net operating losses to offset future earnings. Based on the Company's assessment of future realizability of its deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance has been provided, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards, as it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated to realize these temporary differences. F-14 In connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor Company and Breadshop by the Company, a tax liability was recorded to reflect the increase in book basis over tax basis for tax basis for such net assets acquired. Such amount is included in noncurrent deferred liabilities in 1997. 4. INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: 1997 1998 Raw materials $2,457 $2,622 Work-in-progress 237 167 Finished goods 2,584 3,081 ------ ------ $5,278 $5,870 ====== ====== 5. PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment consists of the following: 1997 1998 Machinery and equipment $15,135 $13,715 Leasehold improvements 8,994 6,521 Furniture and fixtures 2,074 2,211 Assets not in use 2,437 2,006 ------- ------- 28,640 24,453 Less accumulated depreciation (5,282) (7,545) -------- -------- $23,358 $16,908 ======= ======= Equipment held for sale as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, is included in assets not in use. These properties are classified as noncurrent assets and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable values of $1,821 and $1,345 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. During 1998, the Company recorded approximately $476 to adjust the carrying values of these assets to estimated net realizable values (Note 1). F-15 6. INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS Intangible and other assets consist of the following: 1997 1998 Goodwill $8,881 $8,881 Trademarks 5,493 5,493 Other 940 1,615 ------ ------ 15,314 15,989 Less accumulated amortization (499) (1,229) ------ ------ $14,815 $14,760 ======= ======= 7. LONG-TERM DEBT Debt consists of the following at December 31: 1997 1998 Revolving line of credit $4,732 $4,971 Term Loan A 10,700 9,050 Term Loan B 5,930 4,910 Other 498 143 ------ ------ 21,860 19,074 Less current portion (3,025) (1,943) ------ ------ $18,835 $17,131 ======= ======= As of December 31, 1998, the Company's bank credit agreement consisted of a $6,500 revolving line of credit facility, and two term loan facilities. All of the borrowings were collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. Effective December 31, 1998, the interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 8%, the interest rate on Term Loan A was 7.81%, and the interest rate on Term Loan B was 7.76%. The revolving line of credit facility limited the Company's borrowing, based on eligible balances of receivables and inventories. The maximum credit available was $3,680, $4,844 and $5,231 as of December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the Company was in violation of certain ratio covenants, and on March 30, 1999, obtained a waiver from the lender through April 30, 1999. F-16 On January 12, 1999, in conjunction with the acquisition of Sahara Natural Foods, Inc. (Note 15), the Company's bank agreement was amended. The amended agreement included the establishment of a single-term loan, the principal amount of which was increased by $2,500 to $16,460 and, the availability on the revolving credit facility was increased by $1,000 to $7,500. The new term loan matures January 15, 2004 and the amended revolving credit facility matures January 15, 2002. The new term loan requires quarterly principal payments, which commence on March 31, 1999, and end December 31, 2003, in increasing amounts, beginning at $450 and ending at $1,018. All of these borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. Interest on the borrowings under these agreements are at varying rates based, at the Company's option, on the bank's prime rate plus .25% per annum, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.5% per annum. The borrowings at prime rates have daily terms, while the LIBOR borrowings have terms of one to six months. Interest payments are made at the end of each quarter for prime rate borrowings, and the end of each respective period for LIBOR borrowings. The Company pays an annual commitment fee of .375% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The long-term debt agreement contains various restrictive covenants which include a prohibition on payment of dividends, specified minimum net worth and current ratio levels, and specific limitations on leverage ratios and capital expenditure amounts. The agreement also contains a mandatory requirement to make accelerated payments on the term debt in the event of (i) a significant sale or disposition of fixed assets or (ii) of excess cash flow (as defined) being generated in a fiscal year. The revolving line of credit facility limits the Company's borrowing, based on eligible balances of receivables and inventories. Other debt includes notes payable to a financing company, with underlying fixed assets as collateral, payable in monthly installments ranging from $2 to $8, bearing interest rates of 9.64% to 11.81%, and maturing at various dates through July 2000. F-17 The scheduled repayments of debt, incorporating the amended credit agreement are as follows: 1999 $ 1,943 2000 2,800 2001 3,820 2002 8,941 2003 4,070 ------- $21,574 ======= 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases - The Company leases its facilities under the terms of operating leases. These leases are for terms of five years. During 1998, the Company exercised its option to renew the lease for a five-year term commencing October 1, 1998. However, the monthly rental amount is currently being determined in accordance with the terms of the lease. Currently, the Company is paying a monthly rental of $75. Rent expense related to these leases amounted to $812, $1,147, and $1,132 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Contingencies - The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of operations, including litigation relating to claims alleging misrepresentation in connection with the Predecessor Company's practices regarding the packaging of certain of its canned products. During 1998, the Company reached a tentative settlement relating to the packaging claims. At December 31, 1998, approximately $2,415 is accrued for the packaging litigation based on the terms of a settlement agreement. Although the ultimate disposition of other proceedings is not determinable, management, based on advice of legal counsel, does not believe that adverse determinations in any or all of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. 9. MANDATORY REDEMPTION 10% PREFERRED STOCK The Company's Series A preferred stock has a mandatory redemption value of $9,783 on each of the seventh and eighth anniversary dates from the original issuance or April 12, 2003 and 2004, respectively, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative and accrue at a 10% annual rate based on a redemption value of $1,000 per share. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, qualifying sale, or merger of the Company, each holder of Series A preferred stock has a F-18 liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Subject to certain limitations, the Company, at its option, may redeem all or part of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock at the redemption value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. During fiscal year 1997, the Company issued 900 shares of Series A preferred stock, liquidation value of $1,000 per share, as repayment for $900 of debt. As the Series A preferred stock has characteristics similar to debt instruments, the balance of preferred shares have been classified above shareholders' equity in the financial statements. 10. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES During 1998, the Company recorded a $8,049 charge to operations reflecting its decision to restructure certain operations of the Company in light of revisions in its business strategies, and for other nonrecurring charges. Approximately $4,814 was recorded as a restructuring charge comprised of the following components (i) a $2,047 noncash charge for the write-off of the leasehold improvements in the Company's distribution warehouse as a result of the Company's decision to outsource this function and not renew the lease on the warehouse, (ii) a $1,656 noncash charge for the writedown to net realizable value (determined based upon the expected discounted cash flows) of certain manufacturing assets whose values have been impaired by the Company's revised product offering and (iii) a $1,111 charge for the writedown and buyback of inventories resulting from the Company's decision to accelerate the introduction of new products and packaging. Other nonrecurring charges of $3,235 consists of (iv) a $476 noncash charge for the writedown to net realizable value of certain assets which the Company is holding for sale, (v) approximately $730 of costs incurred by the Company for an initial public offering which did not become effective and, (vi) net litigation settlement expenses of $2,029 (Note 8). 11. RETIREMENT PLANS The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan (401(k) Savings Plan) (the Plan) that covers all eligible employees who elect to participate. Employees may contribute between 1% and 15% of their earnings under the Plan, subject to annual limits set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches 50% of the participant's contributions, up to 3% of each participant's earnings. In addition, the Company is able to make additional discretionary contributions. The Company's contributions for F-19 the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, were $103, $110 and $120, respectively. 12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Frontenac Company, a private equity firm and the general partner of Frontenac VI Limited Partnership, provides consulting and financial services to the Company. Such services include, but are not limited to, addressing issues related to strategic direction, long-term growth, acquisitions and divestitures, executive recruitment, and new financings. Two directors of the Company are affiliates of Frontenac Company. Fees paid by the Company to Frontenac Company in 1996 include a $395 transaction fee related to the Health Valley acquisition and a $100 transaction fee related to the Breadshop acquisition. During 1996, in conjunction with the Breadshop acquisition, the Company entered into a 10% Convertible Promissory note in the amount of $1,000 which was due to Frontenac VI Limited Partnership. This note and the related interest was satisfied on January 31, 1997, through a cash payment of $500 and an issuance of stock valued at $525. Expenses incurred by the Company from Frontenac Company for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 include Board of Directors fees of $83, $88 and $41, respectively. Management believes that the charges incurred in these transactions were substantially the same as charges which would have been incurred had similar services been provided by unrelated parties. 13. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities consist of the following: 1997 1998 Accrued salaries, vacation, and related benefits $ 897 $1,038 - Accrued packaging litigation (Note 8) 412 2,415 Accrued acquisition expenses 1,348 615 Other accrued liabilities 1,221 2,318 ------ ------ $3,878 $6,386 ====== ====== 14. STOCK OPTIONS In January 1997, the Company amended the Management Option Agreement (Option Agreement) with its Chairman and President. The Option Agreement granted options to purchase F-20 96,570 common shares at increasing option prices in excess of the fair value ($.34 per share) of the stock at the grant date. The options become fully vested and exercisable on the earlier of: (1) a qualified public offering or approved sale or (2) on the third anniversary from the date of grant. The Option Agreement also contains certain antidilution provisions. In March 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan) to provide for and formalize the grant of stock options to key employees. In connection with the adoption of the Option Plan, the Company formalized the grant of options for 212,280 shares at $.34 per share to key employees. These options vest one third on the first anniversary date of employment subsequent to the date of grant and one-third on each of the two subsequent anniversary dates. Options granted under the Plan will become fully vested in the event of a fundamental change or stock sale (as defined within the Plan) of the Company. At December 31, 1998, 129,920 options were vested and exercisable having a weighted average exercise price of $.34 per share. During fiscal year 1998, 10,150 options were granted, no options were exercised and 9,280 options were forfeited. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for the Plan. No compensation cost has been recognized for the Plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have decreased by the pro forma amounts indicated below: December 31, 1997 1998 Net income (loss): As reported $ 105 $(10,399) Pro forma $ 101 $(10,403) The fair value of stock options formalized in 1997 and 1998 had a weighted average fair value of $.34 per share at December 31, 1998. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions used for grants in 1997 and 1998; dividend yield of 0% for all grants risk-free rate of 5.5% in 1998 and 6.68% in 1997; expected life of three years in 1997 and 1998. Volatility F-21 of 0% was used (as the Company is not a public entity). Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) Acquisition - On January 12, 1999, the Company acquired Sahara Natural Foods, Inc. (Sahara) a California corporation engaged in the manufacture and distribution of natural and organic food products. Under the terms of the acquisition, to be accounted for as a purchase, the Company acquired all of Sahara's common stock for an initial purchase price of $6,700, consisting of a combination of cash and a $400 convertible and an $800 nonconvertible promissory note. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on working capital. Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws - In February 1999, the Company approved a third amendment (the third amendment) to its Certificate of Incorporation and approved a reverse 1-for-290 split of each outstanding share of common stock. Effective upon the filing of the third amendment, the Company will have the authority to issue 65,000 shares of common stock at a $.001 per share par value and 35,000 shares of preferred stock at a $.001 per share par value. The 35,000 shares of the preferred stock will be designated "Series A preferred stock." F-22 NATURAL NUTRITION GROUP, INC.

F-26 NATURAL NUTRITION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands, except share data) 1. GENERAL: Natural Nutritional Group, Inc. (NNG) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 1995 to acquire and develop natural and organic food companies. In April 1996, NNG acquired the outstanding capital stock of Health Valley Foods, Inc. and Health Valley Manufacturing Company (Predecessor Company). In October 1996, NNG acquired The Breadshop, Inc. (Breadshop). In January 1999, NNG acquired Sahara Natural Foods, Inc. (Sahara) (Note 3). NNG is a manufacturer and marketer of premium natural and organic food products in the United States. NNG markets (i) breakfast cereals and granolas, (ii) granola bars, cereal bars, cookies, crackers and other baked goods and (iii) canned and instant soups and chilies, (iv) dinner entrees, pastas and side dishes, as well as other food products, primarily under its Health Valley(R), Breadshop(R) and Casbah(R) brands. In February 1999, the Company approved a third amendment (the third amendment) to its Certificate of Incorporation and approved a reverse 1-for-290 split of each outstanding share of common stock. Effective upon the filing of the third amendment, the Company had the authority to issue 65,000 shares of common stock at a $.001 per share par value and 35,000 shares of preferred stock at a $.001 per share par value. The 35,000 shares of the preferred stock are designated "Series A preferred stock." 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except share and per share amounts. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. F-27 3. ACQUISITIONS: On January 12, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Sahara Natural Foods, Inc. for an initial purchase price of $6,800, including $100 in transaction costs, consisting of a combination of cash and a $400 convertible and an $800 nonconvertible promissory note. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly, the adjustment to record the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired amounted to $6,090. This goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on working capital as of December 31, 1998. Sahara's results have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

LONG-TERM DEBT: Debt consists of the following: December 31, March 31, 1998 1999 ---- ---- Revolving line of credit $ 4,971 $ 4,262 Term Loans 13,960 16,010 Notes Payable -- 1,200 Other 143 103 ------- ------- 19,074 21,575 ------- ------- Less current portion (1,943) (2,244) $17,131 $19,331 ======= ======= On January 12, 1999, in conjunction with the acquisition of Sahara Natural Foods, Inc. (Note 3), the Company's bank agreement was amended. The amended agreement included the establishment of a single-term loan, the principal amount of which was increased by $2,500 to $6,460 and, the availability on the revolving credit facility was increased by $1,000 to $7,500. The new term loan matures January 15, 2004 and the amended revolving credit facility matures January 15, 2002. The new term loan requires quarterly principal payments, which commenced on March 31, 1999, and end December 31, 2003, in increasing amounts, beginning at $450 and ending at $1,018. All of these borrowings are collateralized by F-29 substantially all of the assets of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. Interest on the borrowings under these agreements are at varying rates based, at the Company's option, on the bank's prime rate, plus .25% per annum, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.5% per annum. The borrowings at prime rates have daily terms, while the LIBOR borrowings have terms of one to six months. Interest payments are made at the end of the each quarter for prime rate borrowings, and the end of each respective period for LIBOR borrowings. The Company pays an annual commitment fee of .375% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The long-term debt agreement contains various restrictive covenants which include a prohibition on payment of dividends, specified minimum net worth and current ratio levels, and specific limitations on leverage ratios and capital expenditure amounts. The agreement also contains a mandatory requirement to make accelerated payments on the term debt in the event of (i) a significant sale or disposition of fixed assets or (h) of excess cash flow (as defined) being generated in a fiscal year. The revolving line of credit facility limits the Company's borrowing, based on eligible balances of receivables and inventories. Effective March 31, 1999, the interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 7.47% and the interest rate on the term loan was 7.48%. The maximum credit available on the revolving line of credit facility was $4,577. At March 31, 1999, the Company was in violation of certain ratio covenants, and on March 30, 1999, obtained a waiver from the lender through April 30, 1999. On May 18, 1999, in connection with the acquisition of the Company by The Hain Food Group, Inc. (Note 10), all outstanding indebtedness under the term loan and revolving credit facility was repaid by the Company. Notes payable reflect a $400 convertible and an $800 nonconvertible promissory note payable to the former owner of Sahara related to the acquisition of Sahara (Note 1). The notes require semi-annual principal and interest payments, which commence on June 30, 1999 and end December 31, 2003, in increasing amounts, beginning at $50 and ending at $175. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at the Company's bank's prime rate. The notes payable are subordinated to the revolving credit facility and the term loan. F-30 7. CONTINGENCIES: The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of operations, including litigation relating to claims alleging misrepresentation in connection with the Predecessor Company's practices regarding the packaging of certain of its canned products. The Company reached a settlement relating to the packaging claims during the second quarter of 1998. At March 31, 1999, approximately $2,019 is accrued for the packaging litigation based on the terms of a settlement agreement. Although the ultimate disposition of other proceedings is not determinable, management, based on advice of legal counsel, does not believe that adverse determinations in any or all of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. 8. MANDATORY REDEMPTION 10% PREFERRED STOCK: The Company's Series A preferred stock has a mandatory redemption value of $9,783 on each of the seventh and eighth anniversary dates from the original issuance or April 12, 2003 and 2004, respectively, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative and accrue at a 10% annual rate based on a redemption value of $1,000 per share. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, qualifying sale, or merger of the Company, each holder of Series A preferred stock has a liquidation preference equal to $ 1,000 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Subject to certain limitations, the Company, at its option, may redeem all or part of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock at the redemption value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. As the Series A preferred stock has characteristics similar to debt instruments, the balance of preferred shares have been classified above shareholders' equity in the financial statements. In connection with the acquisition of the Company by The Hain Food Group, Inc., (Note 10), all of the outstanding Series A preferred stock was redeemed by the Company. 9. MERGER-RELATED AND OTHER CHARGES: During the second and fourth quarters of 1998, the Company recorded a $8,049 charge to operations reflecting its decision to restructure certain operations of the Company in light of revisions in its business strategies, and for other nonrecurring charges. Approximately $4,814 was recorded as a restructuring charge comprised of the follow- F-31 ing components (i) a $2,047 noncash charge for the write-off of the leasehold improvements in the Company's distribution warehouse as a result of the Company's decision to outsource this function and not renew the lease on the warehouse, (ii) a $1,656 noncash charge for the writedown to net realizable value of certain manufacturing assets whose values have been impaired by the Company's revised product offering and (iii) a $1,111 charge for the writedown and buyback of inventories resulting from the Company's decision to accelerate the introduction of new products and packaging. Other nonrecurring charges of $3,235 consists of (iv) a $476 noncash charge for the writedown to net realizable value of certain assets which the Company is holding for sale, (v) approximately $730 of costs incurred by the Company for an initial public offering in August 1998, which did not become effective and, (vi) net litigation settlement expenses of $2,029 (Note 7). During the period ending March 31, 1999, the Company incurred additional costs of approximately $62 related to the initial public offering which did not become effective. In addition, the Company incurred $380 of transaction costs related to the acquisition of the Company by Hain Food Group, Inc. (Note 10). 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On May 18, 1999, The Hain Food Group, Inc., a leading marketer of natural, specialty and snack food products, purchased the outstanding common stock of the Company. The purchase price consists of $70 million in cash and a five year $10 million convertible note. * * * * * * F-32 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are presented to give effect to the purchase agreement and the acquisition of Natural Nutrition Group, Inc. ("NNG") under the purchase method of accounting. In addition, the pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are presented to also include the historical and pro forma adjusted information of Sahara Natural Foods, Inc. ("Sahara"), which NNG acquired on January 12, 1999 under the purchase method of accounting. (collectively, the Company's acquisition of NNG and the NNG acquisition of Sahara, are referred to as the "NNG Acquisition"). The balance sheet assumes that the NNG Acquisition had been consummated on March 31, 1999. The statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 1998, assumes that the NNG Acquisition, the July 1, 1998 acquisition of Arrowhead, Terra and Garden of Eatin' (collectively, the "Acquired Companies") and the October 14, 1997 acquisition of Westbrae Natural, Inc. ("Westbrae") had been consummated on July 1, 1997. The statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 assumes that the NNG Acquisition had been consummated on July 1, 1997. Hain management anticipates that it will be able to achieve significant cost synergies and savings as a result of the NNG Acquisition. However, in accordance with the rules for presentation of pro forma financial information, no effect to such cost savings has been included herein. In addition, the NNG historical results include certain restructuring and other nonrecurring charges for the year ended June 30, 1998 and nine months ended March 31, 1999 that are not expected to continue following the NNG Acquisition. The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the financial position which would have occurred had the NNG Acquisition, the Acquired Companies acquisition and the Westbrae acquisition been consummated at such times, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations or financial position. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Hain, including the notes thereto, incorporated by reference herein and the financial statements of NNG, included herein, and the Acquired Companies, incorporated by reference herein, including the notes thereto.

F-35 Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments Note 1 - NNG Acquisition On January 12, 1999, NNG acquired all of the common stock of Sahara in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. This transaction has already been included in the NNG historical March 31, 1999 balance sheet. The purchase price consisted of $5.5 million in cash, plus $.1 million of transaction costs, the issuance of a $.8 million promissory note (bearing interest at prime, 7.75%) and the issuance of a $.4 million convertible note (bearing interest at prime, 7.75%). The cash portion of the purchase price was funded by an equity infusion by one of NNG's principal shareholders immediately prior to the Sahara transaction. Such equity infusion amounted to approximately $5.7 million in exchange for common stock of NNG. In addition, on January 12, 1999, NNG borrowed $2.5 million from its bank under an amended term loan agreement. NNG incurred $.2 million of financing costs in connection with this amendment.

The adjustment to record the excess of the estimated purchase price over the net assets acquired in connection with this acquisition amounting to $6.1 million. In connection with Hain's acquisition of NNG, all indebtedness, including that described above except the $.8 million promissory note, was repaid at closing.

A portion of the financing for this acquisition was done through the issuance of a $10 million convertible promissory note bearing interest at 7%. (b) Adjustment to record the elimination of the equity (including $25.9 million mandatory redemption Series A preferred stock) of NNG of $15.8 million, the NNG debt of $20.8 million (including $.3 million of debt issuance costs) not assumed by Hain, and elimination of the Company's existing current and long term debt of $60.9 million.
