NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions except per share data)

NOTE 1 – PRESENTATION OF CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited historical financial statements of Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. (“Ralcorp” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, except for the omission of guarantor financial information, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 (“2011 Form 10-K”), filed on December 14, 2011, except that the financial statements included in the 2011 Form 10-K are being restated for an additional goodwill impairment charge as discussed in Note 3 and in the Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2012 and for corrections to the note to the financial statements relative to its guarantor financial information as discussed in the Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2012. The significant accounting policies for the accompanying financial statements are the same as disclosed in Note 1 in that Annual Report.

Effective February 3, 2012, Ralcorp completed the spin-off of the Post cereals business (formerly, the Branded Cereal Products segment), which is reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. All amounts related to discontinued operations are excluded from the notes to consolidated financial statements unless otherwise indicated. See Note 4 for additional information about discontinued operations.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and in advance of filing a Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2012, the Company identified immaterial errors in its second quarter fiscal 2012 and 2011 financial statements included in a Form 8-K filed June 13, 2012. The errors related primarily to the finalization of accounting for the spin-off of the Post cereals business and the resulting recasting of the Company’s financial statements to reflect the Post cereals business as discontinued operations. In addition, the amounts of gains and losses on economic hedges included in the statements of earnings for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 were incorrect by $5.7. The effect of the correction of these errors on income was to increase comprehensive income by $.9 and to decrease net earnings and earnings from continuing operations by $3.7 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 ($.06 and $.07 per share, respectively). The effect of the corrections on the balance sheet was to reduce total assets by $2.0, reduce total liabilities by $9.5, and increase shareholders’ equity by $7.5 as of March 31, 2012. There was no effect on total cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities in any period, but for the six months ended March 31, 2011, the corrections decreased cash flows from operating activities for continuing operations by $4.7, and for the six months ended March 31, 2012, the corrections increased cash flows from operating activities for continuing operations by $15.1 (with offsetting changes in cash flows from operating activities for discontinued operations). These amounts have been revised in presenting the accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 to allow for the correct recording of these transactions in the second quarter. The Company will include the revised amounts in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2012.

The segment previously referred to as Other Cereal Products, which includes private-brand and value-brand ready-to-eat cereals and the Bloomfield Bakers products (which includes nutritional bars and natural and organic specialty cookies, crackers and cereals), has been renamed the Cereal Products segment.

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. As discussed above, certain amounts for prior periods have been recast to separate amounts related to discontinued operations from amounts related to continuing operations.

NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” This update establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments in this update were effective for Ralcorp’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

5

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This update requires that all nonowner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (i.e., Ralcorp’s financial statements for the quarter ending December 31, 2012), except for those deferred by ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” issued in December 2011. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-9, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80): Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan,” which provides new requirements for the disclosures that an employer should provide related to its participation in multiemployer pension plans. Plans of this type are commonly used by employers to provide benefits to union employees that may work for multiple employers during their working life and thereby accrue benefits in one plan for their retirement. The revised disclosures will provide users of financial statements with additional information about the plans in which an employer participates, the level of an employer’s participation in the plans, and financial health of significant plans. The amendments in this update are effective for Ralcorp’s annual financial statements for the year ending September 30, 2012. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which is intended to simplify how an entity tests other intangible assets for impairment by allowing companies to perform a qualitative assessment to test their indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments in this ASU will allow an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount, it would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it must calculate the fair value of the asset, compare that value with its carrying amount and record an impairment charge, if any. The guidance also includes examples of the types of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The qualitative assessment for an indefinite-lived asset focuses on the events and circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, could affect the significant inputs used in the fair value measurement of the asset. Both negative and positive evidence should be evaluated to determine whether it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Prior to this ASU, entities were required to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by first comparing the fair value of an asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss was recognized for the amount of the excess. The amendments must be adopted for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; however, the Company plans to adopt this ASU on September 30, 2012, as permitted by the standard. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENTS

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $471.4 related to intangible assets in the Branded Cereal Products segment. These charges consisted of a goodwill impairment of $364.8 and trademark impairment charges of $106.6 (primarily related to the Honey Bunches of Oats, Post Selects, and Post trademarks). In May of 2012, the Company determined that the goodwill impairment calculation performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 resulting in the $364.8 non-cash impairment charge excluded certain deferred taxes when determining the fair value of the net assets of the Branded Cereal Products segment. The exclusion of certain deferred taxes from the impairment computation resulted in the fourth quarter impairment charge being understated by $54.0. The impairment charge is not deductible for tax purposes and therefore, it does not impact income tax expense. The Company is restating its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011 and its condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 to reflect an additional non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $54.0 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and corresponding reduction in goodwill for its former Branded Cereal Products segment. The effects of the restatement adjustment on the September 30, 2011 financial statements as previously reported are listed in the following tables. Amounts affected by the restatement adjustment have been labeled as restated in the accompanying financial statements and notes.

* The goodwill of the former Branded Cereal Products segment is now reported in “Noncurrent Assets of Discontinued Operations” (see Note 4).

NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 3, 2012, the Company separated its Post cereals business (formerly, the Branded Cereal Products segment) into a new, publicly traded company (“Spin-Off”) called Post Holdings, Inc. (“Post”). The Spin-Off was completed by a pro rata distribution of approximately 80.3% of the outstanding shares of Post common stock to holders of Ralcorp common stock. Each Ralcorp shareholder received one share of Post common stock for every two shares of Ralcorp common stock held on January 30, 2012, the record date for the distribution. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of shares of Post common stock in the Spin-Off is tax-free to Ralcorp and its shareholders, except with respect to cash received by Ralcorp shareholders in lieu of a fractional share, and the Company received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off. Ralcorp received a total of $900 in cash in the Spin-Off transactions, as described in Note 17.

7

The Company retained approximately 19.7% of the Post common stock outstanding at February 3, 2012, reported as “Investment in Post Holdings, Inc.” and classified as available for sale. The Company’s investment does not provide the Company the ability to influence the operating or financial policies of Post and accordingly does not constitute significant continuing involvement. Furthermore, while the Company is a party to a separation agreement and various other agreements relating to the separation, including a transition services agreement (“TSA”), a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement and certain other commercial agreements, the Company has determined that the continuing cash flows generated by these agreements, which are expected to be eliminated within two years, and its investment in Post common stock do not constitute significant continuing involvement in the operations of Post. Accordingly, the net assets, operating results, and cash flows of Ralcorp’s Post cereals business are presented separately as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the Spin-Off. No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the Spin-Off, but subsequent unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s investment in Post common stock are recognized in other comprehensive income (see Note 10). No related deferred tax impact has been recorded because the Company intends to dispose of the Post common stock in a tax-free transaction within one year.

Post is now a stand-alone public company which separately reports its financial results. Due to differences between the basis of presentation for discontinued operations and the basis of presentation as a stand-alone company, the financial results of the Post cereals business included within discontinued operations for the Company may not be indicative of actual financial results of Post as a stand-alone company.

The results of the Post cereals business included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized in the following table. Post separation costs are primarily professional services fees directly related to the Spin-Off transactions.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Nine Months Ended June 30,

Ralcorp continues to purchase and sell certain products from or to Post. The amounts of the intercompany revenues and costs associated with such activities before the Spin-Off were as follows:

Intercompany net sales	$	—	$	—		$	1.0		$	—
Intercompany costs and expenses		—		(3.3	)		(6.1	)		(8.9	)

Following the Spin-Off, Ralcorp recognized billings to Post of approximately $3.2 and $5.4 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 related to the TSA, which were included in “Other operating expenses, net” in the statement of earnings. Under the TSA, Ralcorp also collects and disburses cash on Post’s behalf. As of June 30, 2012, Ralcorp’s accounts payable include a net amount due to Post of $4.5.

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On October 3, 2011, Ralcorp completed the acquisition of the North American private-brand refrigerated dough business of Sara Lee Corporation (“Refrigerated Dough”). Refrigerated Dough is a leading manufacturer and distributor of a full range of private-brand refrigerated dough products in the U.S. To fund the transaction, Ralcorp entered into a credit agreement consisting of a $550 term loan (see Note 16) that was repaid with a portion of the proceeds generated in connection with the separation of its Post cereals business (see Note 4). Refrigerated Dough, included in the Frozen Bakery Products segment, employs approximately 700 people and has manufacturing and distribution facilities in Carrollton, Texas and Forest Park, Georgia. The assigned goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation included $259.6 of customer relationships, trademarks, and other intangibles subject to amortization over a weighted average amortization period of approximately 15 years. Net sales and operating profit included in the statement of earnings related to this acquisition were $62.4 and $4.1, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $242.9 and $29.9, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2012.

On December 28, 2011, Ralcorp completed the acquisition of Pastificio Annoni S.p.A. (“Annoni”), a pasta manufacturer located in Bergamo, Italy. Annoni operates as a part of the Pasta segment. The assigned goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation included $4.6 of customer relationships subject to amortization over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. Net sales and operating profit included in the statement of earnings related to this acquisition were $3.0 and zero, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $5.9 and $.1, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2012.

On May 22, 2012, Ralcorp completed the acquisition of Petri Baking Products, Inc. (“Petri”), a leading producer of private-brand wire-cut cookies located in Silver Creek, New York. Petri operates as a part of the Snacks, Sauces and Spreads segment. The assigned goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation included $27.6 of customer relationships subject to amortization over a weighted average amortization period of 12 years. Net sales and operating profit included in the statement of earnings related to this acquisition for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 were $8.5 and $1.6, respectively.

On June 17, 2012, Ralcorp completed the acquisition of Gelit S.r.l. (“Gelit”), a leading producer of private-brand, frozen ready meals, located in Cisterna di Latina, Italy. Gelit operates as a part of the Pasta segment. The assigned goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation included $17.0 of customer relationships subject to amortization over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. Net sales and operating profit included in the statement of earnings related to this acquisition for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.6 and $.2, respectively.

Each of the acquisitions was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, whereby the results of operations of each of the following acquisitions are included in the statements of earnings from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, and any excess was allocated to goodwill, as shown in the following table. For each acquisition, the goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce of the acquired business and the significant synergies and opportunities expected from the combination of the acquired business with the existing Ralcorp businesses. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized (primarily deferred tax assets and liabilities, fixed assets, and other intangible assets for Petri and Gelit) and are subject to change once additional information is obtained (but no later than one year from the applicable acquisition date).

NOTE 7 – AMOUNTS RELATED TO PLANT CLOSURES

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the leased manufacturing facility of the Bloomfield business in Los Alamitos, California was closed after relinquishing co-manufacturing business that did not meet minimum margin requirements. The Company has moved all remaining production to, and is rescaling its co-manufacturing operations at, a nearby facility within the Cereal Products segment. The project was substantially completed as of June 30, 2012.

Also, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, management finalized a plan to close the Poteau, Oklahoma manufacturing facility of the Snacks, Sauces & Spreads segment. The plant’s production of crackers and cookies will be transferred to the Company’s cracker and cookie plant in Princeton, Kentucky to realize cost savings through capacity rationalization. The closure occurred in June 2012 and is expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2012, pending the sale of the property.

Property associated with plants in Billerica, Massachusetts and Blue Island, Illinois (closed in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively) has not yet been sold, and the Company continues to incur impairment losses resulting from declines in the real estate market, as well as continuing costs of ownership.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Richmond Hill, Ontario manufacturing facility of the Frozen Bakery Products segment was closed to realize cost savings through capacity rationalization. The closure was substantially completed by September 30, 2011.

11

Amounts related to plant closures are shown in the following table. Costs are recognized in “Other operating expenses” in the statements of operations, and are not included in the measure of segment performance for any segment. There were no significant liability balances related to plant closure activities at June 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to commodity price risks relating to the acquisition of raw materials and supplies, interest rate risks relating to debt, and foreign currency exchange rate risks relating to its foreign subsidiaries. Authorized individuals within the Company may utilize derivative financial instruments, including (but not limited to) futures contracts, option contracts, forward contracts and swaps, to manage certain of these exposures by hedging when it is practical to do so. The terms of these instruments generally do not exceed eighteen months for commodities, ten years for interest rates, and two years for foreign currency. The Company is not permitted to engage in speculative or leveraged transactions and will not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Post cereals business participated in Ralcorp’s hedging program before the Spin-Off (see Note 4). The fair value of the derivative instruments has not been reflected as assets or liabilities of discontinued operations as of September 30, 2011 because Post was not legally a party to the underlying derivative instruments and because there are no significant instruments that were allocable only to Post. As of September 30, 2011, the amount of Ralcorp’s net derivative liability that was related to Post was $10.3. The amounts of derivative effects of hedging allocated to Post (and included in earnings from discontinued operations on the statements of operations) was zero and a loss of $2.0 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and losses of $8.4 and $8.3 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Amounts related to Post are included in the amounts disclosed in the rest of this note. As of the Spin-Off date, Post no longer participated in the Ralcorp derivative instrument program and no net derivative liability or asset was outstanding.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of commodity contracts (options, futures, and swaps) used as cash flow or economic hedges on purchases of raw materials (ingredients and packaging) and energy (fuel), and foreign currency forward contracts used as cash flow hedges on receipts of foreign currency-denominated accounts receivable. Certain commodity-related derivatives do not meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting or simply are not designated as hedging instruments; nonetheless, they are economic hedges used to manage the future cost of raw materials. The following table shows the notional amounts of derivative instruments held.

	Jun. 30, 2012		Mar. 31, 2012		Dec. 31, 2011		Sept. 30, 2011

The following table shows the fair value and balance sheet location of the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, all of which were designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815 except $9.1 and $34.3, respectively, of commodity contracts in a net liability position.

Accumulated OCI included a $23.0 net loss on cash flow hedging instruments before taxes ($14.3 after taxes) at June 30, 2012, compared to a $33.7 net loss before taxes ($21.3 after taxes) at September 30, 2011. Approximately $6.3 of net cash flow hedge gains reported in accumulated OCI at June 30, 2012 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. For gains or losses associated with commodity contracts, the reclassification will occur when the products produced with hedged materials are sold. For gains or losses associated with foreign exchange contracts, the reclassification will occur as hedged foreign currency-denominated accounts receivable are received. For gains or losses associated with interest rate swaps, the reclassification occurs on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to post collateral when the derivatives in liability positions exceed a specified threshold, and others require collateral even when the derivatives are in asset positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was $10.3 and $3.9, respectively, and the related collateral required was $.7 and $8.2 at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis for that measurement according to the levels in the fair value hierarchy in ASC Topic 820:

	June 30, 2012						September 30, 2011
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Total		Level 1		Level 2
Assets
Marketable securities	$	4.7	$	4.7	$	—	$	8.2	$	8.2	$	—
Investment in Post Holdings, Inc.		208.3		208.3		—		—		—		—
Derivative assets		—		—		—		.3		—		.3
Deferred compensation investment		22.8		22.8		—		22.9		22.9		—
	$	235.8	$	235.8	$	—	$	31.4	$	31.1	$	.3
Liabilities
Derivative liabilities	$	13.3	$	—	$	13.3	$	53.1	$	—	$	53.1
Deferred compensation liabilities		28.0		—		28.0		36.5		—		36.5
	$	41.3	$	—	$	41.3	$	89.6	$	—	$	89.6

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

15

The Company’s marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury Bills. Fair value for marketable securities and the Company’s investment in Post stock is measured using the market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. As of June 30, 2012, the Post stock had a fair value of $208.3 and a cost basis of $245.0, with $36.7 of net losses in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company utilizes the income approach to measure fair value for its derivative assets and liabilities (which include commodity options and swaps, an interest rate swap, and foreign currency forward contracts). The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates, and forward prices.

The deferred compensation investment is invested primarily in mutual funds and its fair value is measured using the market approach. This investment is in the same funds and purchased in substantially the same amounts as the participants’ selected investment options (excluding Ralcorp and Post Holdings, Inc. common stock equivalents), which represent the underlying liabilities to participants in the Company’s deferred compensation plans. Deferred compensation liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants in cash, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investment options (excluding certain Ralcorp common stock equivalents to be distributed in shares) using the market approach.

The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these financial instruments (Level 2). The carrying amount of the Company’s variable rate long-term debt (see Note 17) approximates fair value because the interest rates are adjusted to market frequently (Level 2). Based on the discounted amount of future cash flows, using Ralcorp’s incremental rate of borrowing for similar debt, the Company’s fixed rate debt (which had a carrying amount of $1,940.9 as of June 30, 2012 and $1,951.6 as of September 30, 2011) had an estimated (Level 2) fair value of $2,290.9 as of June 30, 2012 and $2,070.1 as of September 30, 2011.

NOTE 15 – CONTINGENCIES

In May 2009, a customer notified the Company that it was seeking to recover out-of-pocket costs and damages associated with the customer’s recall of certain peanut butter-based products. The customer recalled those products in January 2009 because they allegedly included ingredients that had the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. The customer’s recall stemmed from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other authorities’ investigation of Peanut Corporation of America, which supplied the Company with peanut paste and other ingredients. In accordance with the Company’s contractual arrangements with the customer, the parties submitted these claims to mediation. In January 2011, the Company resolved all pending contractual and other claims, resulting in a payment by the Company of $5.0 and an obligation to pay an additional $5.0, subject to the customer’s completion of certain contractual obligations through February 2013. The Company accrued $7.5 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 based on early estimates of the settlement amount, and accrued an additional $2.5 in the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Two subsidiaries of the Company are subject to three lawsuits brought by former employees currently pending in separate California state courts alleging, among other things, that employees did not receive statutorily mandated meal breaks resulting in incorrect payment of wages, inaccurate wage statements, unpaid overtime and incorrect payments to terminated employees. Each of these suits was filed as a class action and seeks to include in the class certain current and former employees of the respective subsidiary involved. In each case, the plaintiffs are seeking unpaid wages, interest, attorneys’ fees, compensatory and other monetary damages, statutory penalties, and injunctive relief. No determination has been made by any court regarding class certification. In April 2012, the Company, plaintiffs and a third party staffing agency formerly used by the Company agreed to the terms of a proposed settlement with respect to these suits. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the Company has agreed to pay $4.4 million in order to resolve these claims. The Company accrued $4.4 million related to the proposed settlement during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, however, it is possible that up to $1.5 million could be returned to the Company depending upon the number of current and former employees who participate in the settlement. The proposed settlement requires court approval which the Company expects will occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various other legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, based upon the information presently known, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from the pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities (if any), are not expected to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, while it is difficult to estimate the potential financial impact of actions regarding expenditures for compliance with regulatory matters, in the opinion of management, based upon the information currently available, the ultimate liability arising from such compliance matters is not expected to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 16 – SHORT-TERM FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has an agreement to sell, on an ongoing basis, all of the trade accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary named Ralcorp Receivables Corporation (“RRC”). As of June 30, 2012, the accounts receivable of the American Italian Pasta Company, Bloomfield Bakers, Medallion Foods, Petri Baking Products, and foreign subsidiaries had not been incorporated into the agreement and were not being sold to RRC. RRC can in turn sell up to $110.0 of ownership interests in qualifying receivables to bank commercial paper conduits. Ralcorp continues to service the receivables (with no significant servicing assets or liabilities) and remits collections to RRC, who remits the appropriate portion to the conduits as part of a monthly net settlement including the sale of an additional month of receivables. Interest incurred on the funding received from the conduits totaled zero and $.3, respectively, in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and $.4 and $1.1, respectively, in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.

In December 2010, the Company entered into uncommitted credit arrangements with banks totaling $150.0. The arrangements expired in December 2011.

On October 3, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“2011 Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $550.0 term loan. Borrowings under the agreement incurred interest at the Company's choice of either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable margin rate (currently 1.50%) or (2) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate, (c) the “Adjusted LIBOR Rate” plus 1%. As described in Note 17, Ralcorp repaid these borrowings and terminated this agreement on January 20, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012, funding from the receivables securitization was zero. As of September 30, 2011, funding from the receivables securitization was $105.0 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.22%, and borrowings under the uncommitted credit arrangements were zero. These amounts are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in “Notes payable to banks.”

On January 17, 2012, Ralcorp amended its indenture associated with its notes dated as of August 4, 2008 (“Indenture”). In addition, the holders consented to certain matters in connection with the separation of the Post cereals business, discussed in Note 4. As amended:

• The Indenture contains covenants that limit Ralcorp's ability and the ability of Ralcorp’s subsidiaries to, among other things: cause Ralcorp’s leverage ratio to exceed 3.5 to 1 at the end of any fiscal quarter, without paying additional interest, or cause Ralcorp’s leverage ratio to exceed 3.75 to 1, at the end of any fiscal quarter, or 3.5 to 1, for the two successive fiscal quarters immediately following a period during which it exceeded 3.5 to 1, in any case; cause Ralcorp’s consolidated adjusted net worth to fall below a specified amount; incur priority debt in an amount exceeding 20% of Ralcorp’s consolidated adjusted net worth; sell assets, including the stock of its subsidiaries; create certain liens; engage in transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate with other entities; change the nature of its business or violate foreign assets control regulations. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.

• The Indenture provides for the payment of additional interest in the amount of 1.00% in the event that the Company’s 6.625% Senior Notes due August 15, 2039 fail to have an investment grade rating from at least two of the rating agencies.

On January 17, 2012, Ralcorp also entered into amendments with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 22, 2003, as amended (the “2003 Note Purchase Agreement”), and the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 28, 2009 (the “2009 Note Purchase Agreement”). The amendments to the 2003 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2009 Note Purchase Agreement amend certain covenants so that those covenants are substantially similar to those set forth in the Indenture and consented to certain matters in connection with the separation of Post. These covenants and consents are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 2003 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2009 Note Purchase Agreement.

On January 20, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement with banks (“Term Loan Banks”) under which it borrowed $775 as a term loan (“$775 Term Loan”). The proceeds of the $775 Term Loan were used by Ralcorp for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of Ralcorp’s or its subsidiaries’ outstanding indebtedness. Ralcorp repaid all $550 outstanding under, and terminated, the 2011 Credit Agreement, with no material early termination penalties incurred. Ralcorp also repaid all amounts outstanding under its receivables securitization program and the 2010 Revolving Credit Facility, and partially repaid amounts outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan.

On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the Term Loan Banks or their affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the exchange agreement, on February 3, 2012, Ralcorp delivered $775 in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due 2022 (an obligation of Post Holdings, Inc.) in full satisfaction of the $775 Term Loan. Post initially issued the notes to Ralcorp on February 3, 2012 in connection with an internal reorganization as part of the separation. Post transferred $125 to Ralcorp immediately prior to the separation, partially to purchase certain Post assets from a separate Canadian subsidiary. Ralcorp used a portion of these proceeds to repay all remaining amounts outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan.

On May 1, 2012, the Company amended and restated its $300 revolving credit facility dated as of July 27, 2010 to provide for a new revolving credit facility (“2012 Credit Facility”) of the same amount. Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR or, at Ralcorp’s option, an Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility), plus a margin, ranging from 1.125% to 1.75% for LIBOR-based loans and from 0.125% to 0.75% for Alternate Base Rate-based loans, depending upon Ralcorp’s leverage ratio. Such borrowings are unconditionally guaranteed by each of its existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries. The 2012 Credit Facility is secured by the pledge of 65% of the equity interests of Ralcorp’s first-tier material foreign subsidiaries and will mature on May 1, 2017. It calls for a commitment fee calculated as a percentage (ranging from .15% to .275%) of the unused portion, and contains certain representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions customary to credit facilities of this nature. The covenants include requirements that “EBIT” be at least three times “Consolidated Interest Expense” and that “Total Debt” not exceed 3.75 times “Adjusted EBITDA” (each term as defined in the agreement).

NOTE 18 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Management evaluates each segment’s performance based on its segment operating profit, which is its operating profit before impairments of intangible assets, costs related to plant closures, and other unallocated corporate income and expenses. The segment previously referred to as Other Cereal Products, which includes private-brand and value-brand ready-to-eat cereals and the Bloomfield Bakers products (which includes nutritional bars and natural and organic specialty cookies, crackers and cereals), has been renamed Cereal Products. The following tables present information about the Company’s operating segments, which are also its reportable segments, including corresponding amounts for the prior year.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 31, 2012, Ralcorp initiated a strategic restructuring to improve organizational effectiveness and reduce costs. Ralcorp will consolidate its existing Cereal, Pasta, and Snacks, Sauces & Spreads businesses into a single center-store private-brand food company. As a result of this strategic initiative, the Company expects to generate annual pre-tax cost savings of approximately $26 to $31 in fiscal 2013. These savings are incremental to the Company’s ongoing Accelerated Cost Reduction program and will begin in fiscal 2013. These initiatives are anticipated to result in pre-tax costs of approximately $17 to $22 consisting of employee separation and related expenses, approximately half of which the Company expects to record in each of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013. Ralcorp expects to complete the strategic restructuring in fiscal 2014.
