NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

 
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.  For additional information regarding the carve-out basis of presentation of the LDIDO financial statements, refer to the audited financial statements of LDIDO as of December 31, 2010 and for the year then ended and the unaudited financial statements of LDIDO as of September 30, 2011 for the nine months then ended, which are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, of this Form 8-K/A.  Certain amounts have been reclassified from the LDIDO financial statements to conform to the Company’s presentation.
 
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.  There are also judgments made to determine the expected useful life assigned to each class of assets acquired and the duration of liabilities assumed.  The judgments made in this determination of the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset and the duration of each liability, can materially impact the financial statements in periods after acquisition, such as through depreciation and amortization expense. 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.  Based on information presently known, any such adjustments are not expected to be material.   The final purchase accounting is subject to change for these working capital true-ups and other final purchase accounting adjustments.  Final determination of the net working capital assets recorded and final purchase accounting adjustments would change the amount of bargain purchase gain recorded.

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;

*Amount excludes the $140 of accrued compensation.  When including the $140, the pro forma adjustment totals $1,420.

 
 

 
The bargain purchase gain of $13,048 (net of taxes of $8,336) included in these pro forma financial statements is based on the estimated fair values on December 27, 2011.  Had the acquisition occurred on September 30, 2011, the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired and resulting bargain purchase would be subject to change.

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 $13,048 bargain purchase gain (net of taxes of $8,336) 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.

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

(d)  
Any deferred income tax liability calculated as a result of the acquisition is offset by the Company’s deferred tax assets, which are fully reserved by a valuation allowance.

(e)  
Tangible and intangibles assets (and the weighted average depreciable life) include land, buildings and improvements (32 years), machinery and equipment (10 years) and customer relationships (10 years).

(i)  
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the bargain purchase gain was reduced by deferred tax liabilities resulting from the book and tax basis differences on the acquired assets. The basis differences in acquired assets result in positive sources of income in the future. As such, the transaction had an impact on the Company's assessment on its valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The resulting valuation allowance release is reflected as a benefit of $8,336 in the provision for income taxes.
 
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.
 
(j)  
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 non-recurring and directly attributable to the acquisition of LDI’s Distillery Business.
