NOTE 1.
BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

On December 27, 2011, MGPI of Indiana, LLC (“MGPII”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGP Ingredients, Inc. ( the “Company” or “MGP”), closed its previously-announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of substantially all of the assets of Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana, LLC (“LDI”) located in Lawrenceburg and Greendale, Indiana, which are used in the production of customized and premium grade whiskeys, gins and grain neutral spirits.  The purchased assets include distillery assets, related bulk barrel storage facilities, blending operations, a tank farm, a grain elevator and certain intangible assets (“Distillery Business”).  In this acquisition we also assumed certain liabilities, consisting primarily of trade payables and customer and contractual obligations, as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 20, 2011.  MGPII did not purchase LDI’s associated assets related to packaging and bottling of alcoholic beverages, which were acquired by a third party.  The purchase price of the acquisition is equal to the current assets minus current liabilities as of December 27, 2011, which was estimated at closing to be $11,041. The purchase was funded through the Company’s bank revolving credit facility and accrued consideration and is subject to post closing adjustments for working capital true-ups.  A bargain purchase gain of $21,384 was recorded based on the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business over the purchase price.  
 
NOTE 2.
BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and for three months ended September 30, 2011 are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and the carve-out financial statements of Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana Distillery Operations (“LDIDO”).  The LDIDO financial statements were carved-out from LDI, which included a packaging and bottling business.
 
The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocates the purchase price of a business acquisition based on the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets.   The difference between the total cost of the acquisition and the sum of the fair values of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities is recorded as goodwill or bargain purchase gain.  Management used third party appraisers to assist in estimating fair values, including (a) the business enterprise value, which is based on estimated future cash flows (including timing) which are estimated using the income approach and discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows, and (b) the values of land, buildings and equipment, which are estimated using the cost and market approaches.  The estimated fair values recorded were based on unobservable inputs, which are material and represent Level 3 measures in the fair value hierarchy.  Under ASC 805, acquisition related transaction costs (such as advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) are expensed as incurred.

Management and the seller are still in the process of truing up values for net working capital assets purchased.  Final determination of the net working capital assets recorded would change the amount of bargain purchase gain recorded.  Based on information presently known, any such adjustments are not expected to be material.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2011, and includes all adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and are factually supportable.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and for three months ended September 30, 2011 give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on July 1, 2010, and include all adjustments that give
 
 
 
 
effect to events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition, are expected to have a continuing impact, and are factually supportable.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:
 
·  
are presented for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the results of operations or financial position that the Company would have reported had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;
 
·  
do not reflect any operating efficiencies, synergies or cost savings that the Company may achieve, or any additional expense that may be incurred with respect to the combined company.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses
     (3,573 )
Total identifiable net assets
     32,425  
         
Bargain Purchase Gain
   $ 21,384  

Accounting standards require that when the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, resulting in a bargain purchase gain, the acquirer must reassess the reasonableness of the values assigned to all of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred. The Company has performed such a reassessment and has concluded that the values assigned for the LDI acquisition are reasonable. Consequently, the Company recorded a $21,384 bargain purchase gain on the acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business, which the Company determined to be reasonable because (a) the seller was financially distressed, (b) LDI’s Distillery Business was not widely marketed for sales – an investment bank was hired; however efforts were initially unsuccessful, (c) the machinery and equipment are highly specialized for the industry, resulting in limited alternative uses for the property, and (d) independent property appraisals and business valuations indicated that its fair value was in excess of the purchase price.

The Company acquired a grain elevator in conjunction with the acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business that is not expected to be used.  Accordingly, this facility and its related assets totaling $2,300 are being reported as “Assets held for sale”, which is a component of current assets on the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2011.  The Company’s estimate of fair value is based on current negotiations.  The value of this asset upon its ultimate disposition could vary significantly from the Company’s estimate.

Represents debt of $10,901 incurred under the Company’s revolving credit facility in connection with the acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business.

     (26 )     (7 )
Pro forma interest expense
   $ 383     $ 49  
 
* Reflects interest expense on the approximate $10,901 of debt incurred, which had an average effective interest rate of 3.75% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and 2.063% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

(h)  
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, no adjustment is required as the income tax expense, calculated on the income from pro forma adjustments partially offset by a loss from LDIDO, is offset by the changes to the Company’s deferred tax assets, which are fully reserved by a valuation allowance.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, no adjustment is required as the income tax benefit, calculated on the additional loss from LDIDO partially offset by income from pro forma adjustments, is offset by the changes to the Company’s deferred tax assets, which are fully reserved by a valuation allowance.

(i)  
$517 of acquisition expenses related to the Company’s acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business were incurred subsequent to June 30, 2011.  Through this adjustment, these costs are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

MGP’s historical results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 include $257 of acquisition expenses related to the Company’s acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business.  This adjustment eliminates this cost from the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 since these costs are included in the pro form condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
