1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of consolidated operations for the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Historically, our net sales, net income and cash flow from operations are lower in the first half of the fiscal year and increase in the second half. The increase in net sales, net income and cash flow from operations in the second half of the year is mainly due to the consumer business cycle, where customers typically purchase more products in the fourth quarter due to the holiday season.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010.

Accounting and Disclosure Changes

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by presenting it in either a single statement or two-statement approach. This new accounting pronouncement is effective for our first quarter of 2013 and we do not expect any material impact on our financial statements from adoption.

2.	ACQUISITIONS

In July 2011, we purchased the privately-owned business assets of Kitchen Basics, Inc. for $38.0 million, subject to a normal working capital adjustment. The purchase was financed with a combination of cash and debt. Kitchen Basics has annual sales of approximately $25 million and sells a leading brand of ready-to-serve, shelf stable stock in North America. Kitchen Basics will be included in our consumer business segment from the date of acquisition. A preliminary valuation of the assets for Kitchen Basics resulted in $6.7 million allocated to tangible net assets and the remainder to intangible assets and goodwill.

In June 2011, we signed an agreement to enter into a joint venture with Kohinoor Foods Ltd. in India. "Kohinoor" is a leading Indian national brand of basmati rice as well as other convenience food products. The completion of this transaction occurred subsequent to our third quarter end and will be recorded in our fourth quarter. We will invest 5.2 billion Indian rupees (approximately $113 million in U.S. dollars) for an 85% interest in the joint venture, Kohinoor Speciality Foods India Private Limited, financed with a combination of cash and debt. This will be a consumer business consolidated joint venture with projected annual net sales of approximately $85 million and will market and sell branded basmati rice and other food products in India.

In June 2011, we also signed an agreement to purchase the shares of Kamis, a brand leader of spices, seasonings and mustards in Poland. Kamis is a privately held company based in Poland with distribution into Poland, Russia and other parts of Central and Eastern Europe and its annual net sales are approximately $105 million. The acquisition was completed subsequent to our third quarter end and will be recorded in our fourth quarter. The purchase price is 830 million Polish zloty (approximately $286 million in U.S. dollars), which will be financed with a combination of cash and debt. Kamis will be included predominately in our consumer business segment from the date of acquisition.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2011, we have recorded $1.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in transaction-related expenses associated with these acquisitions in selling, general and administrative expenses in our income statement.
