NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Paradise, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.

The information furnished herein reflects only theall adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature that management believes isare necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. The notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.

Consumer demand for glace’ fruit product is traditionally strongest during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Almost 80% of glace’ fruit product sales are recorded during an eight to ten week period beginning in mid September. Therefore, the operating results for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year.

Certain minor reclassifications have been made to the consolidated unaudited financial statements for the quarterthree and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2015 to conform to the classifications used for the quarterthree and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2016.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers,which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, which is the effective date for public companies. Early application is permitted as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which amends FASB ASU Topic 330,Inventory. This ASU requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and eliminates the option that currently exists for measuring inventory at market value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU provides presentation requirements to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842)(ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingdoes not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact of these changes toon the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Except as noted above, the Company’s management does not believe that recent codified pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its EITF), the AICPA or the Securities and Exchange Commission will have a material impact on the Company’s current or future consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not prepare operating profit or loss information on a segment basis for internal use, until the end of each year. Due to the seasonal nature of the fruit segment, management believes that it is not practical to prepare this information for interim reporting purposes. Therefore, reporting is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Overview

Paradise, Inc.’s main business segment, glace’ fruit, a prime ingredient of fruitcakes and other holiday confections, represented 68.3% of total net sales duringfor the previous year of 2015. These products are sold to manufacturing bakers, institutional users, supermarkets and other retailers throughout the country. Consumer demand for glace’ fruit product is traditionally strongest during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Almost 80% of glace’ fruit product sales are recorded during anfor a period of eight to ten week periodweeks beginning in mid September.

Since the majority of the Company’s customers require delivery of glace’ candied fruit products during this relatively short period of time, Paradise, Inc. must operate at consistent levels of production from as early as January through the middle of November of each year in order to meet peak demands. Furthermore, the Company must make substantial borrowings of short-term working capital to cover the cost of raw materials, factory overhead and labor expense associated with production for inventory. This combination of building and financing inventories during the year, without the opportunity to record any significant fruit product income, resultsmay result in the generation of operating losses well into the third quarter of each year. Therefore, it is the opinion of management that meaningful forecasts of annual net sales or profit levels require analysis of a full year’s operations.

In addition, comparison of current quarterly results to the preceding quarter produces an incomplete picture on the Company’s performance due to year-to-year changes in production schedules, seasonal harvests and availability of raw materials, and in the timing of customer orders and shipments. Thus, the discussion of information presented within this report is focused on the review of the Company’s current year-to-date results as compared to the similar period last year.

Paradise, Inc.’s other business segment, Paradise Plastics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Paradise, Inc. producingproduces custom molding products, is not subject to the seasonality of the glace’ fruit business. This segment represents all injection molding and thermoforming operations, including the packaging for the Company’s fruit products. Only sales to unaffiliated customers are reported.

The First QuarterNine Months

Paradise, Inc.’s fruit segment net sales for the first quarternine months of 2016 totaled $853,280increased 2.8% to $8,643,663 compared to net sales of $1,004,288$8,409,947 for the similar nine month reporting period of 2015 representing a decrease2015. This increase is primarily due to timing differences in the receipt of $151,008 or 15.0%. The fruit segment has two primary productscustomers’ orders and the corresponding shipping dates for sale during the first quarterdelivery of the year. The main product isCompany’s retail glace’ fruit soldproducts. Changes in bulk quantitiesdates of opening orders from customers between interim reporting periods will have a direct impact on net revenue comparisons. Paradise, Inc. recognizes net sales generally upon receipt of its products by its customers. Thus, as merchandise is shipped and shippedreceived by its customers during different interim reporting periods, timing differences in reported net revenue will occur. Management has consistently disclosed that interim filings are not reliable financial indicators of year-end performance. Only after a full year’s selling season is completed which takes into consideration factors such as the timing of initial orders, product placement on supermarket shelves and consumer demand for holiday fruitcake ingredients, will the Company have any ability to manufacturing bakeriesdetermine whether its sales and select supermarketsmarketing efforts for the traditional Easter holiday season. Net sales orders received and shipped for bulk glace’ fruit products during the first three months of 2016current year were $482,589 compared to $508,223 for the similar reporting period of 2015, representing a decrease of $25,634 or 5.0%. The other main product for sale in the first quarter is finished strawberry items produced exclusively for a local distributor during a short period of time beginning in early March and running through mid April of each year. As in previous years, Paradise, Inc., based on a negotiated price (i.e. tolling fee) will receive and process fresh strawberries through its production facilities on behalf of this distributor. With weather conditions not as favorable as in past years, net sales for the three months ending March 31, 2016 were $370,691 compared to $496,065 representing a decrease of $125,374 for the three months ending March 31, 2015.successful.

Paradise Plastics, Inc., a wholly owned company of Paradise, Inc., which accounted for 31.7%38% of total net sales to unaffiliated customers for the previous year, generateddecreased by 5.6% to net sales of $2,109,676$5,306,706 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2016 compared to $1,687,469$5,622,810 for the similar reporting period of 2015. This represents an increaseWhile sales to customers of $422,207 or 25.0%. The primary reasonvacuum forming plastics parts within the housing market increased by 5% for this increase relatesthe current reporting period over the similar reporting period of 2015, it was not enough net revenue to offset a greater amount ofrecent decline in sales orders received and shippedrelated to a long term plastics customer for higher priced heavy gauge vacuum forming parts used for their customers within the housing market. While encouraged with increased sales orders received and shipped during the first quarter of 2016 along with higher profit margins than for the similar reporting period for the three months ending March 31, 2015, no determination can be made as to how much additional revenue, if any, will be generatedCompany’s thermoforming operations. As mentioned in future reporting periods for 2016. As to most plastics sales orders, commitments for parts are usually for a short term period of up to 90 days. Future revenue can only be determined when re-orders for these plastics parts are received and shipped byprevious filings, Paradise Plastics, Inc. toproduces various types of custom molded plastics for its customers which are then assembled into finished products by its customers. Thus, changes in demand for these finish products by the end user will have a direct impact on our sales. As of the date of filing, management is not able to predict whether the recent decline in sales will continue.

Consolidated cost of sales as a percentage of overall net sales decreased 12.0%6.0% for the first quarternine months of 2016 compared to the similar reporting period of 2015. Two reasons representThis is less than the 10.4% decrease in cost of sales reported during the June 30, 2016 filing, however, this change.decrease is still due to the following two reasons. First, the increase ina greater percentage of vacuum forming plastics parts ordered and shipped to a long term plastics customer included higher sales prices and thereforeduring the first nine months of 2016 vs. 2015 were of higher gross margins. Secondly, the fruit segment, after not commencing brining operations of orange peel during the first quarternine months of 2016, the Company’s fruit segment commenced production of its in house brining operations producing of 1.62015, produced 2.9 million lbs. of binnedbrined orange peel inventory.inventory during the first nine months of 2016. With more than an adequate amount of brined orange peel in the Company’s inventory as of January 1, 2015, brining operations for the first quarter of 2015orange peel were postponed.postponed for 2015. Thus, the increase in seasonalorange peel production during the first nine months of brined fruit2016 allocated over a relatively fixed amount of factory overhead (i.e.: insurance, utilities, depreciation and taxes) had anthe impact of reducing cost of sales as of March 31,September 30, 2016 compared to March 31,September 30, 2015. However, seasonal production does not represent a trend or an estimate that can be projected for the remainder of 2016. The Company typically starts processing all of its various brined fruit inventory into finished inventory at the beginning of June for each year. Thus, it is important to understand that until thisa full year’s production period, which will run from June through Octobercycle is completed, the Company will not be able to determine to what extent the changeadditional production mentioned above will have on cost of sales and its relationshipas it relates to overall sales.

Inventory as of September 30, 2016 totaled $11,997,652 compared to $11,434,903 as of September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $562,749. This represents an increase of 4.9% and is attributable to the increased orange peel production discussed in the cost of sales section above.

Selling, general & administrative (S,G&A) expenses for the first threenine months of 2016 totaled $933,355$2,774,766 compared to $2,979,115 representing a decrease of $204,349 or 6.9% and were consistent with S,G&A expenses foris primarily related to the firstretirement of three months of 2015 which totaled $933,060.senior managers during late 2015.

Other Significant ItemsThe First Nine Months (Continued)

Other Income for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $1,743 compared to $18,313 for the similar reporting period of 2015. Other income is periodic sales of recycled plastics materials from time to time along with changes in the cash surrender value of two insurance policies owned by the Company on behalf of two senior executives.

Inventory as of March 31, 2016 was $10,292,846 compared to $9,028,334 as of March 31, 2015 representing an increase of $1,264,512 or 14.0% as shipments from suppliers of brined fruit commodities, which may fluctuate based upon many factors common to agricultural products, were received in greater quantities during the first quarter of 2016 than the first quarter of 2015. With several of the Company’s brined fruit commodities being shipped to its processing facility located in Plant City, Florida from as far away as Southeast Asia, timing differences regarding levels of on hand brined fruit will occur at various interim reporting periods. Management’s primary goal at the end of the first quarter of its fiscal year, is to determine if inventory levels are sufficient for the upcoming selling season. For the period in review, this goal has been met.

Short Term Debt and Accounts Payable combined balances as of March 31, 2016 totaled $1,651,185 compared to $1,007,847 for the similar reporting period for 2015. These two accounts are directly related to the increased amount of inventory on hand at March 31, 2016 as referenced in the preceding paragraph.

We finance ourParadise, Inc. finances ongoing operations primarily with cash provided by our operating activities.activities which are seasonal in nature. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash flows provided by operating activities, our existing cash, and a line of credit facility. At March 31,September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $6.8 million$1,138,700 and $8.8 million,$8,791,938, respectively, in cash. Additionally, we have a revolving line of credit with a maximum limit of $12 million and a borrowing limit of 80% of the Company’s eligible receivables plus 50%up to 60% of the Company’s eligible inventory, from January 1 to May 31 and 60% from June 1 to December 31 of each year, of which $0 was outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2016 and $0 at December 31, 2015. Within this agreement, there are letters of credit with a limit of $1,750,000, of which $702,801$291,838 was outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2016 and $582,839 at December 31, 2015. The line of credit agreement expires onin July, 31, 2017. Net cash decreased by $7,653,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $6,458,430 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The primary reason for this decrease in cash for the first nine months of 2016 compared to 2015 was the earlier repayment of short-term debt of just over $1.0 million as of September 30, 2016.

Summary

Paradise Inc.’s consolidated net sales decreased slightly to $13,950,369 for the threefirst nine months ended March 31,of 2016 totaled $2,962,956 compared to $2,691,757$14,032,757 for the similar reporting periodfirst nine months of 2015 representing an increase of 10.1%. This increase is specifically attributable to the plastics segment as increased sales orders were received and shipped related to parts that are needed by a long term customer within the housing market. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased by 12.0% as higher gross margins were realized on these plastics parts. In addition, an increase in brinedthe earlier shipment of the Company’s holiday segment fruit productionsegments products was offset by a downturn in thermoforming plastics parts during the firstthird quarter of 2016 also impacted a decrease in the cost of sales as a greater amount of production was allocated over a relatively fixed level of factory overhead. Overall, this activity resulted in a net loss of $207,033 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a net loss of $431,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.2016. However, as mentioned and disclosed in all previous quarterlyinterim filings, due to the highly seasonal nature of the Company’s primary revenue source, glace’ fruit sales, no meaningful financial analysis can be developed from Paradise, Inc.’s interim results do not represent any meaningful trends or estimates in annual performance.reporting results. Only a full year’s accounting of salesrevenue and expenses will provide a complete picture of the consolidated operations ofnecessary information to determine the Company.Company’s overall financial performance.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. We evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments and have the most potential to impact our financial position and operating results. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2016.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers,which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, which is the effective date for public companies. Early application is permitted as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which amends FASB ASU Topic 330,Inventory. This ASU requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and eliminates the option that currently exists for measuring inventory at market value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU provides presentation requirements to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842)(ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingdoes not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact of these changes toon the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Except as noted above, the Company’s management does not believe that recent codified pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its EITF), the AICPA or the Securities and Exchange Commission will have a material impact on the Company’s current or future consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31,September 30, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and they have concluded that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarternine months ended March 31,September 30, 2016.

Disclosure controls and procedures mean the methods designed to ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required. Our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Our controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of our financial reporting and accurate recording of our financial transactions.

A control system, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control gaps or instances of fraud have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that the judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that simple errors or mistakes can occur.
