History and Current Ownership

Since 2001, the Company and its predecessors have been involved in several business combinations to acquire certain assets and liabilities related to the brands discussed above.

(“Crunch”) and Crunch is 100% owned by Peak Holdings LLC (“Peak Holdings”) and certain members of the Company’s senior management. Peak Holdings is an entity controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”), a global private investment and advisory firm.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions.

The Company’s population of financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements and the required disclosures are as follows:

	Fair Value As of March 27, 2011		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy						Fair Value As of December 26, 2010		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3				Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Total liabilities at fair value	$	26,513	$	—	$	26,513	$	—	$	27,746	$	—	$	27,746	$	—

The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk.

Below are descriptions of the techniques used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on the Company’s financial statements as of March 27, 2011.

PINNACLE FOODS FINANCE LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(thousands of dollars, except share amounts and where noted in millions)

The valuations of these instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate and foreign exchange forward curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for fair value disclosure, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. The Company had no fair value measurements based upon significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 27, 2011 or December 26, 2010.

Raw materials, containers and supplies	$	37,844	$	39,528
Finished product		281,036		290,107
Total	$	318,880	$	329,635

The Company has various purchase commitments for raw materials, containers, supplies and certain finished products incident to the ordinary course of business. Such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, in connection with the Birds Eye Foods Acquisition, inventories were required to be valued at fair value, which was $37.6 million higher than historical manufacturing cost. Cost of products sold for the three months ended March 28, 2010 included pre-tax charges of $17.3 million related to the finished products at December 23, 2009, which were subsequently sold.

6. Goodwill and Other Assets

Goodwill by segment is as follows:

	Birds Eye Frozen		Duncan  Hines Grocery		Specialty Foods		Total
Balance, December 26, 2010	$	578,769	$	740,465	$	245,161	$	1,564,395
Balance, March 27, 2011	$	578,769	$	740,465	$	245,161	$	1,564,395

The authoritative guidance for business combinations requires that all business combinations be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting. The authoritative guidance for goodwill provides that goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often when events indicate. The Company completed its annual testing as of December 26, 2010. No goodwill impairments were identified.

Rochester, NY Office

The Rochester, NY office was the former headquarters of Birds Eye Foods, Inc., which was acquired by PFG on December 23, 2009. In connection with the consolidation of activities into PFG’s New Jersey offices, the Rochester office was closed in December 2010. Notification letters under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of 1988 were issued in the first quarter of 2010. Activities related to the closure of the Rochester office began in the second quarter of 2010 and resulted in the elimination of approximately 200 positions. In addition, the Company recognized lease termination costs in 2010 due to the discontinuation of use of the Birds Eye Foods’ Corporate headquarters.

The following table summarizes restructuring charges recorded during the three months ended March 28, 2010. There were no restructuring expenses incurred in the three months ended March 27, 2011.

Tacoma, WA Plant

On December 3, 2010, in an effort to enhance the long-term strength of our brands and improve our supply chain operations, we announced the closure of the Tacoma plant and the consolidation of production in our Ft. Madison plant and recorded related restructuring expense. The closure of the Tacoma plant is targeted for the second half of 2011 and will result in the termination of approximately 160 employees. In addition to termination benefits, the company recorded asset retirement obligations at Tacoma which were capitalized and are being depreciated over the remaining useful life of the plant. The company recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $2,791 in the three months ended March 27, 2011.

Fulton, NY Plant

On April 15, 2011, the Company announced plans to consolidate the Birds Eye^® brand’s Fulton, NY plant operations into the Darien, WI and Waseca, MN facilities in order to locate vegetable processing closer to the crop growing region and thus reduce the related freight costs. The Fulton facility is currently expected to close at the end of 2011. In connection with the closure, we expect to incur the following costs during the second quarter and the remainder of 2011:

Description	Estimated cost
Employee severance and other termination benefits	$2.0 -$3.0 million
Movement and storage of equipment	$1.0 - $2.0 million
Consulting and project management fees	$1.0 - $2.0 million
Accelerated depreciation on plant assets	$8.0 -$12.0 million

The Company’s borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest at a floating rate and are maintained as base rate loans or as Eurocurrency rate loans. Base rate loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The base rate is defined as the higher of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Reserve reported overnight funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%. Eurocurrency rate loans bear interest at the adjusted Eurocurrency rate, as described in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, plus the applicable Eurocurrency rate margin. Solely with respect to Tranche D Term Loans, the Eurocurrency rate shall be no less than 1.75% per annum. Solely with respect to Tranche D Term Loans, the base rate shall be no less than 2.75% per annum.

The applicable margins with respect to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility vary from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and agreed upon pricing grids based on the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The applicable margins with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facility are currently:

Applicable Margin (per annum)
Revolving Credit Facilty and Letters of Credit									Term Loans						Tranche D Term Loans
Eurocurrency Rate for Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Fees			Base Rate for Revolving Loans			Commitment Fees Rate			Eurocurrency Rate for Term Loans			Base Rate for Term Loans			Eurocurrency Rate for Term Loan D			Base Rate for Term Loan  D
	2.25	%		1.25	%		0.50	%		2.50	%		1.50	%		4.25	%		3.25	%

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in (i) all the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each direct or indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company and 65% of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each direct foreign subsidiaries of the Company, or any of its domestic subsidiaries and (ii) certain tangible and intangible assets of the Company and those of the Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications).

A commitment fee of 0.50% per annum is applied to the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. For the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 3.52% and 4.87%, respectively. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 2.75% and 2.76%, respectively however no borrowings were made during 2010 or 2011. As of March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, the Eurodollar interest rate on the term loan facility was 3.52% and 4.78%, respectively.

The Company pays a fee for all outstanding letters of credit drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate equivalent to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, less the fronting fee payable in respect of the applicable letter of credit. The fronting fee is equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such letter of credit. The fronting fees are computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Total letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility cannot exceed $50,000. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, the Company had utilized $30,827 and $34,187, respectively of the Revolving Credit Facility for letters of credit. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, there was $119,173 and $115,813 of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $19,173 and $15,813 was available to be used for letters of credit.

Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company is required to use 50% of its “Excess Cash Flow”, to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche D Term Loans. Excess Cash Flow is determined by taking consolidated net income (as defined) and adjusting it for certain items, including (1) all non cash charges and credits included in arriving at consolidated net income, (2) changes in working capital, (3) capital expenditures (to the extent they were not financed with debt), (4) the aggregate amount of principle payments of indebtedness and (5) certain other items defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In December 2010, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $73.0 million to the Tranche D Term Loans. As a result of this prepayment, no payment was due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of Senior Secured Credit Facility for the 2010 reporting year. In March 2010, in accordance with the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company made a mandatory prepayment of the term loans of $27.0 million for the 2009 reporting year.

9. Pension and Retirement Plans

The Company accounts for pension and retirement plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance for retirement benefit compensation.This guidance requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The guidance also requires recognition in accumulated other comprehensive income of certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules.

The Company uses a measurement date for the pension and postretirement benefit plans that coincides with its year end.

Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan

The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan”) that covers eligible union employees and provides benefits generally based on years of service and employees’ compensation. The Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations. Plan assets consist principally of cash equivalent, equity and fixed income common collective trusts. Plan assets do not include any of the Company’s own equity or debt securities.

In fiscal 2011, the Company expects to make contributions of $6.8 million to the Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan, of which $0.8 million was made in the three months ended March 27, 2011. The Company made contributions to the pension plan totaling $8.9 million in fiscal 2010, of which $0.6 million was made in three months ending March 28, 2010.

The following represents the components of net periodic benefit costs:

	Pinnacle Foods Pension Plan Pension Benefits

Benefits for salaried participants are frozen. In 2010, the pension plan benefits for certain locations were frozen. The curtailment gain was $64 for the three months ended March 28, 2010.

The Company acquired an Excess Benefit Retirement Plan from Birds Eye Foods which serves to provide employees with the same retirement benefit they would have received from Birds Eye’s retirement plan under the career average base pay formula. Benefits for this plan are frozen.

The Company maintains a non-tax qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which provides additional retirement benefits to two prior executives of Birds Eye Foods who retired prior to November 4, 1994.

For purposes of this disclosure, all defined-benefit pension plans acquired with Birds Eye Foods have been combined. The benefits for these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of Federal laws and regulations.

10. Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices.

The Company manages interest rate risk based on the varying circumstances of anticipated borrowings and existing variable and fixed rate debt, including the Company’s revolving line of credit. Examples of interest rate management strategies include capping interest rates using targeted interest cost benchmarks, hedging portions of the total amount of debt, or hedging a period of months and not always hedging to maturity, and at other times locking in rates to fix interests costs.

Certain parts of the Company’s foreign operations in Canada expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s goal is to reduce its exposure to such foreign exchange risks on its foreign currency cash flows and fair value fluctuations on recognized foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments to acceptable levels primarily through the use of foreign exchange-related derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency.

The Company purchases raw materials in quantities expected to be used in a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. The Company generally enters into agreements for either spot market delivery or forward delivery. The prices paid in the forward delivery contracts are generally fixed, but may also be variable within a capped or collared price range. Forward derivative contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company’s manufacturing process.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted. One intent of this law is to establish a regulatory structure for the derivatives market and to increase the transparency of financial reporting related to derivatives. The Company anticipates that the law will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

As of March 27, 2011, the Company had the following interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Range	Index	Trade Dates	Maturity Dates
Interest Rate Swaps	10	$	1,131,593	1.06% -3.33%	USD-LIBOR-BBA	Oct 2008 -Aug 2010	Apr 2011 - July 2012

PINNACLE FOODS FINANCE LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(thousands of dollars, except share amounts and where noted in millions)

According to the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $22,584 will be reclassified as an increase to Interest expense relating to both active and terminated hedges.

Due to the counterparty bank declaring bankruptcy in October 2008, the Company discontinued prospectively the hedge accounting on its interest rate derivatives with Lehman Brothers Specialty Financing on the bankruptcy date as those hedging relationships no longer met the definition of effective hedge under authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting. The Company terminated these positions during the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company continues to report the net loss related to the discontinued cash flow hedge in AOCI which is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the original contractual terms of the derivative agreements as the hedged interest payments are expected to occur as forecasted. For the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28 2010, $705 and $1,033 was reclassified as an increase to Interest expense relating to the terminated hedges, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company’s operations in Canada have exposed the Company to changes in the US Dollar – Canadian Dollar (USD-CAD) foreign exchange rate. From time to time, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary purchases inventory denominated in US Dollars (USD), a currency other than its functional currency. The subsidiary sells that inventory in Canadian dollars. The subsidiary uses currency forward and collar agreements to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. Currency collar agreements involve the sale of Canadian Dollar (CAD) currency in exchange for receiving US dollars if exchange rates rise above an agreed upon rate and sale of USD currency in exchange for receiving CAD dollars if exchange rates fall below an agreed upon rate at specified dates.

As of March 27, 2011, the Company had the following foreign currency exchange contracts (in aggregate) that were designated as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk:

According to the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recognized directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-designated Hedges of Commodity and Interest Rate Risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk but do not meet the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting. From time to time, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of natural gas, diesel fuel and soybean oil purchases and other commodities at a future delivery date. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with certain counterparties that contain a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness. As of March 27, 2011, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached this provision at March 27, 2011, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value. The table below summarizes the aggregate fair values of those derivatives that contain credit risk contingent features as of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

General

From time to time, the Company and its operations are parties to, or targets of, lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s general counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome of these matters should not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Commitment of $6.2 Million Capital Expenditure

In working to resolve an environmental wastewater investigation by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (MDNRE) at the Company’s Birds Eye Foods Fennville, MI production facility, on July 20, 2010, the Company and the MDNRE reached an agreement (“Administrative Consent Order” or “ACO”). Under the terms of the ACO, Birds Eye Foods will construct a new wastewater treatment system at the facility currently estimated at $6.2 million and contribute a minimum of $70 thousand to the hookup of the City’s water supply extension to affected residents.

Lehman Brothers Special Financing

On June 4, 2010 Lehman Brothers Special Financing (LBSF) initiated a claim against the Company in LBSF’s bankruptcy proceeding for an additional payment from the Company of $19.7 million, related to certain derivative contracts which the Company had earlier terminated due to LBSF’s default as a result of its bankruptcy filing in 2008. In accordance with the terms of the contracts, following LBSF’s bankruptcy filing, the Company terminated the contracts and paid LBSF approximately $22.3 million. The Company believes that the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.

12. Related Party Transactions

At the closing of the Blackstone Transaction, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with an affiliate of The Blackstone Group pursuant to which such entity or its affiliates provide certain strategic and structuring advice and assistance to us. In addition, under this agreement, affiliates of The Blackstone Group provide certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to the Company for an aggregate annual management fee equal to the greater of $2,500 or 1.0% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility). Affiliates of Blackstone also receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. Expenses relating to the management fee were $1,188 and $1,125 in the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, respectively. The Company reimbursed The Blackstone Group for out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $55 in the three months ended March 28, 2010. There were no out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed to The Blackstone Group in the three months ended March 27, 2011.

Supplier Costs

Graham Packaging, which is owned by affiliates of The Blackstone Group, supplies packaging for some of the Company’s products. Purchases from Graham Packaging were $1,798 and $1,776 for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, respectively. In April 2011, the Blackstone Group announced its intent to sell Graham Packaging to Silgan Holdings, Inc. This transaction, however, has not yet closed as of the date of this report.

Customer Purchases

Performance Food Group, which is owned by affiliates of The Blackstone Group, is a food service supplier that purchases products from the Company. Sales to Performance Food Group were $1,200 and $1,569 in the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, respectively.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, fees and interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for debt to affiliates of The Blackstone Group totaled $608 and $527, respectively.

Notes receivable from officers

In connection with the capital contributions at the time of the Birds Eye Foods Acquisition on December 23, 2009, certain members of the Board of Directors and management purchased ownership units of our ultimate parent Peak Holdings LLC. To fund these purchases, certain members of management signed 30 day notes receivable at a market interest rate. The total of the notes receivable were $565 and were fully paid in January 2010.

14. Income Taxes

The income tax provision/(benefit) and related effective tax rates for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 27, 2011			March 28, 2010
Current income tax provision/(benefit)	$	312		$	7,007
Deferred income tax provision/(benefit)		12,951			(3,967	)
Income tax provision	$	13,263		$	3,040
Effective rate		39.6	%		43.6.	%

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

During the three months ended March 27, 2011, various jurisdictions enacted tax rate changes which effected the amounts at which our deferred tax assets and liabilities will reverse. Such rate changes resulted in net charge of $459 to the tax provision and a corresponding increase of $459 to our net deferred tax liabilities for the three months ended March 27, 2011.

The Company regularly evaluates its deferred tax assets for future realization. A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that some portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change.

As of March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, we maintained a valuation allowance for certain state net operating loss carryovers, state tax credit carryovers and foreign loss carryovers. For the three months ended March 27, 2011, a benefit of $124 was recognized to the income tax provision related to the release of a valuation allowance on certain state credit carryovers which, due to the aforementioned tax law changes, became more likely than not realizable.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) as of March 27, 2011 is $13,529. The amount, if recognized, that would impact the effective tax rate as of March 27, 2011 was $3,393. The amount of UTB classified as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $2,706. From time to time, various taxing authorities may audit the Company’s tax returns. It is reasonably possible that a decrease in the UTB of up to $2,400 may occur within the next twelve months due to the lapse of certain statute of limitations or resolution of uncertainties.

Subsequent to the March 27, 2011 balance sheet date, the Company announced plans to consolidate its Fulton, NY plant operations into other operating plants. Additionally, the state of New Jersey enacted tax law changes effective in 2012 that will impact our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company is evaluating the tax effects of both these events, neither of which is expected to be material to the year ending December 25, 2011.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(dollars in millions, except where noted)

You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition together with the “Selected Financial Data” and the audited consolidated financial statements appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2010. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Item 1A: Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2010. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a leading producer, marketer and distributor of high quality, branded food products. In the first quarter of 2010, we implemented a reorganization of the Company’s products into three operating segments: Birds Eye Frozen, Duncan Hines Grocery and Specialty Foods. Our United States retail frozen vegetables (Birds Eye^®), multi-serve frozen dinners and entrées (Birds Eye Voila!^®), single-serve frozen dinners and entrées (Hungry-Man^®, Swanson^®), frozen seafood (Van de Kamp’s^®, Mrs. Paul’s^®), frozen breakfast (Aunt Jemima^®), bagels (Lender’s^®), and frozen pizza (Celeste^®) are reported in the Birds Eye Frozen Division. Our baking mixes and frostings (Duncan Hines^®), shelf-stable pickles, peppers and relish (Vlasic^®), barbeque sauces (Open Pit^®), pie fillings (Comstock^®, Wilderness^®), syrups (Mrs. Butterworth’s^® and Log Cabin^®), salad dressing (Bernstein’s^®), canned meat (Armour^®, Nalley^®, Brooks^®) and all Canadian Operations are reported in the Duncan Hines Grocery Division. The Specialty Foods Division consists of snack products (Tim’s Cascade^® and Snyder of Berlin^®) and our food service and private label businesses. Segment performance is evaluated by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker and is based on earnings before interest and taxes. Transfers between segments and geographic areas are recorded at cost plus markup or at market. Identifiable assets are those assets, including goodwill, which are identified with the operations in each segment or geographic region. Corporate assets consist of prepaid and deferred tax assets and assets held for sale. Unallocated corporate expenses consist of corporate overhead such as executive management, and finance and legal functions and the costs to integrate the Birds Eye Foods Acquisition.

On December 23, 2009, we acquired all of the common stock of Birds Eye Foods, Inc. (“Birds Eye Foods”) (the “Birds Eye Foods Acquisition”). Birds Eye Foods’ product offering includes an expanding platform of healthy, high-quality frozen vegetables and frozen meals and a portfolio of primarily branded specialty foods which are highly-complimentary to our previously existing product offerings.

Business Drivers and Measures

In operating our business and monitoring its performance, we pay attention to trends in the food manufacturing industry and a number of performance measures and operational factors. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations.

Industry Factors

Our industry is characterized by the following general trends:

• Industry Growth. Growth in our industry is driven primarily by population and modest product selling price increases and changes in consumption between out-of-home and in-home eating. Incremental growth is principally driven by product, packaging and process innovation.

• Competition. The food products business is competitive. Numerous brands and products compete for shelf space and sales, with competition based primarily on product quality, convenience, price, trade promotion, consumer promotion, brand recognition and loyalty, customer service and the ability to identify and satisfy emerging consumer preferences. In order to maintain and grow our business, we must be able to identify and take advantage of changes in these competitive pressures.

• Consumer Tastes and Trends. Consumer trends, such as changing health trends and focus on convenience and products tailored for busy lifestyles, present both opportunities and challenges for our business. In order to maintain and grow our business, we must react to these trends by offering products that respond to evolving consumer needs. In the current economic climate, the long term trend for food consumption at home is flat and the increase that was experienced during the most severe part of the recession is now moderating. Additionally, consumers are looking for value alternatives, which have caused a shifting from traditional retail grocery to mass merchandisers and the value channel.

38

• Customer Consolidation. In recent years, our industry had been characterized by consolidation in the retail grocery and food service industries, with mass merchandisers gaining market share. This trend could increase customer concentration within the industry.

Revenue Factors

Our net sales are driven principally by the following factors:

• Gross Sales, which changes as a function of changes in volume and list price; and

• the costs that we deduct from gross sales to reach net sales, which consist of:

• Cash discounts, returns and other allowances.

• Trade marketing expenses, which include the cost of temporary price reductions (“on sale” prices), promotional displays and advertising space in store circulars.

• Slotting expenses, which are the costs of having certain retailers stock a new product, including amounts retailers charge for updating their warehousing systems, allocating shelf space and in-store systems set-up, among other things.

• Consumer coupon redemption expenses, which are costs from the redemption of coupons we circulate as part of our marketing efforts.

Cost Factors

Our important costs include the following:

• Raw materials, such as sugar, cucumbers, broccoli, corn, peas, green beans, flour (wheat), poultry, seafood, vegetable oils, shortening, meat and corn syrup, among others, are available from numerous independent suppliers but are subject to price fluctuations due to a number of factors, including changes in crop size, federal and state agricultural programs, export demand, weather conditions and insects, among others.

• Packaging costs. Our broad array of products entails significant costs for packaging and is subject to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, glass jars, plastic trays, corrugated fiberboard, and plastic packaging materials.

• Freight and distribution. We use a combination of common carriers and inter-modal rail to transport our products from our manufacturing facilities to distribution centers and to deliver products to retailers from both those centers and directly from our manufacturing plants. Our freight and distribution costs are influenced by fuel costs.

• Advertising and other marketing expenses. We record expenses related to advertising and other consumer and trade-oriented marketing programs under “Marketing and selling expenses” in our consolidated financial statements. A key strategy is to continue to invest in marketing that builds our iconic brands.

Working Capital

Our working capital is primarily driven by accounts receivable and inventories, which fluctuate throughout the year due to seasonality in both sales and production, as described below in “Seasonality.” We will continue to focus on reducing our working capital requirements while simultaneously maintaining our customer service levels and production needs. We have historically relied on internally generated cash flows and temporary borrowings under our revolving credit facility to satisfy our working capital requirements.

Other Factors

Other factors that have influenced our results of operations and may do so in the future include:

• Interest Expense. As a result of the Blackstone Transaction and Birds Eye Foods Acquisition, we have significant indebtedness. Although we expect to reduce our leverage over time, we expect interest expense to continue to be a significant component of our expenses. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

• Cash Taxes. We have significant tax-deductible intangible asset amortization and federal and state net operating losses, which resulted in minimal federal and state cash taxes in recent years. We expect to continue to realize significant reductions in federal and state cash taxes in the future attributable to amortization of intangible assets and realization of net operating losses.

• Acquisitions and Consolidations. We believe we have the expertise to identify and integrate value-enhancing acquisitions to further grow our business. We have successfully integrated acquisitions. We have, however, incurred significant costs in connection with integrating these businesses and streamlining our operations.

39

• Impairment of Goodwill Tradenames and Long-Lived Assets. We test our goodwill and intangible assets annually or more frequently (if necessary) for impairment and have recorded impairment charges in recent years. The value of goodwill and intangibles from the allocation of purchase price from the Blackstone Transaction and the Birds Eye Foods Acquisition is derived from our business operating plans at that time and is therefore susceptible to an adverse change that could require an impairment charge. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we recognized an impairment of $29.0 million in our Hungry Man trade name as a result of reduced long-term sales growth forecasts for the brand.

Seasonality

Our sales and cash flows are affected by seasonal cyclicality. Sales of frozen foods, including frozen vegetables and frozen complete bagged meals tend to be marginally higher during the winter months. Seafood sales peak during lent, in advance of the Easter holiday. Sales of pickles, relishes, barbecue sauces, potato chips and salad dressings tend to be higher in the spring and summer months, and demand for Duncan Hines products, Birds Eye vegetables and our fruit fillings tend to be higher around the Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays. We pack the majority of our pickles during a season extending from May through September, and also increase our Duncan Hines inventories at that time, in advance of the selling season. Since many of the raw materials we process under the Birds Eye brand are agricultural crops, production of these products is predominantly seasonal, occurring during and immediately following the purchase of such crops. As a result, our inventory levels tend to be higher during August, September, and October, and thus we require more working capital during these months. We are a seasonal net user of cash in the third quarter of the calendar year.

Restructuring Charges

Rochester, NY Office

The Rochester, NY office was the former headquarters of Birds Eye Foods, Inc., which was acquired by PFG on December 23, 2009. In connection with the consolidation of activities into PFG’s New Jersey offices, the Rochester office was closed in December 2010. Notification letters under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of 1988 were issued in the first quarter of 2010. Activities related to the closure of the Rochester office began in the second quarter of 2010 and resulted in the elimination of approximately 200 positions. In addition, we recognized lease termination costs in 2010 due to the discontinuation of use of the Birds Eye Foods’ Corporate headquarters.

The following table summarizes restructuring charges recorded during the three months ended March 28, 2010. There were no restructuring expenses incurred in the three months ended March 27, 2011.

Tacoma, WA Plant

On December 3, 2010, in an effort to enhance the long-term strength of our brands and improve our supply chain operations, we announced the closure of the Tacoma plant and the consolidation of production in our Ft. Madison plant. The closure of the Tacoma plant is targeted for the second half of 2011 and will result in the termination of approximately 160 employees. In addition to termination benefits, we recorded asset retirement obligations at Tacoma which were capitalized and are being depreciated over the remaining useful life of the plant. We recorded accelerated depreciation costs of $2.8 million in the three months ended March 27, 2011.

Fulton, NY Plant

On April 15, 2011, the Company announced plans to consolidate the Birds Eye^® brand’s Fulton, NY plant operations into the Darien, WI and Waseca, MN facilities in order to locate vegetable processing closer to the crop growing region and thus reduce the related freight costs. The Fulton facility is currently expected to close at the end of 2011. In connection with the closure, we expect to incur the following costs:

Description	Estimated cost
Employee severance and other termination benefits	$2.0 - $3.0 million
Movement and storage of equipment	$1.0 - $2.0 million
Consulting and project management fees	$1.0 - $2.0 million
Accelerated depreciation on plant assets	$8.0 - $12.0 million

Three months ended March 27, 2011 compared to three months ended March 28, 2010

Net sales

Net sales were $606.3 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011 compared to $656.4 million in the comparable prior year period, a 7.6% decline. Net sales in our North American retail businesses were down 6.8%, excluding the impact of the exited Birds Eye® Steamfresh® meals and U. S. Swanson® meals businesses. Our first quarter 2011 net sales are significantly impacted by two things. First, the Easter holiday occurred three weeks later in 2011 compared to 2010. Second, we made the decision in our frozen foods businesses to accelerate the launch of our innovative new products from July last year to January this year. The new distribution expenses related to these product launches required a significant investment in the first quarter.

Our new offerings introduced during the first quarter include new varieties of Birds Eye® Steamfresh® vegetables, Birds Eye® Voila! Complete bagged meals, and Hungry-Man® in the U. S., as well as Swanson® Skillet complete bagged meals in Canada. In the quarter, Nalley® Chili, Celeste® Pizza and our Log Cabin® and Mrs. Butterworth’s® syrups had sizable sales increases while Duncan Hines® baking mixes and frostings and Aunt Jemima® frozen breakfasts declined. We grew or held market share in brands representing approximately 40% of our product contribution.

Birds Eye Frozen Division:

Net sales in the three months ended March 27, 2011 were $294.3 million, a decrease of $30.1 million or 9.3% from the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower volumes in our Aunt Jemima® frozen breakfast products and our seafood products due to the timing of Lent and the Easter holiday, partially offset by strong performance in our Celeste® Pizza brand. Also contributing to the decrease was the decision to accelerate the launch of our innovative new products from July last year to January this year, which resulted in higher new distribution expenses.

Duncan Hines Grocery Division:

Net sales in the three months ended March 27, 2011 were $214.1 million, a decrease of $12.0 million or 5.3% from the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower volumes in our Duncan Hines® and Vlasic® products, partially offset by strong performance in our Canadian business.

Specialty Foods Division:

Net sales in the three months ended March 27, 2011 were $97.9 million, a decrease of $8.0 million or 7.6% from the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower volumes in our food service business driven by our decision to emphasize higher margin branded products.

Gross profit.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 27, 2011 was $153.4 million or 25.3% of net sales, compared to $155.7 million or 23.7% during the comparable prior year period. The primary driver of the increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was the recording of an additional $17.3 million of expense during the first quarter of 2010 related to the resale of inventory that was recorded at fair value during the Birds Eye acquisition. Excluding the impact of this item, gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 1.1 percentage points. The decrease was driven by higher new distribution costs related to our new product launches, and higher commodity and logistics costs. Excluding the new distribution costs, cash gross profit percentage expanded compared to the prior year.

Marketing and selling expenses.

Marketing and selling expenses were $41.8 million or 6.9% of net sales for the three months ended March 27, 2011, compared to $52.8 million or 8.0% of sales during the comparable prior year period. The primary driver of the decrease is lower advertising expense in our Duncan Hines, Vlasic and Seafood brands as a result of the shift in the timing of advertising to the later part of the year to align with key consumption periods.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses were $21.0 million or 3.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 27, 2011, compared to $33.9 million or 5.2% of net sales during the comparable prior year period. The reason for the decrease is that the first quarter of 2010 included charges of $8.7 million for the termination benefits related to the closure of the Rochester, N.Y. office and $2.8 million of integration related expenses. Excluding these charges and expenses, administrative expenses were 3.4% of net sales in the first quarter of 2010.

43

Research and development expenses.

Research and development expenses were $2.0 million, or 0.3% of net sales, for the three months ended March 27, 2011, compared with $2.4 million, or 0.4% of net sales, in the comparable prior year period.

Other expense (income), net.

Other expense (income), net consists of the following:

	Three months ended

Other expense (income), net consists of:
Amortization of intangibles/other assets	$	4,039		$	4,291

Total other expense (income), net	$	3,811		$	4,523

Earnings before interest and taxes.

Earnings before interest and taxes were $84.8 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011, an increase of $22.7 million or 36.5% from the comparable prior year period. The increase was driven by non-recurring expenses related to the Birds Eye acquisition that were recognized during the three months ended March 28, 2010. These expenses included $17.3 million of costs related to the resale of goods that were recorded at fair value during the acquisition, $8.7 million of termination benefits related to the closure of the Rochester, NY office and $2.8 million of other integration related expenses. Excluding these items, earnings before interest and taxes decreased by $6.1 million, which is primarily driven by lower sales resulting from the timing of the Easter holiday, as well as higher and commodity and logistics costs. Comparisons of this year’s first quarter results need to be viewed in the context of an exceptionally strong first quarter year ago earnings performance driven by strong share gains and favorable commodity costs. This year’s commodity costs are a significant challenge for our industry. To the extent possible, we are offsetting this inflation with our productivity programs and price increases to preserve our margins and returns.

Birds Eye Frozen Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes were $45.4 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011, an increase of $16.0 million or 54.4% from the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by non-recurring costs of $10.4 million recognized in the prior year related to the resale of inventory that was recorded at fair value during the Birds Eye acquisition. The remaining increase of $5.6 million is primarily attributable to lower advertising and consumer spending, which will increase significantly in the balance of the year.

Duncan Hines Grocery Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes were $36.4 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011, an decrease of $0.5 million or 1.4% from the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by higher promotional expenses and higher commodity costs, offset by non-recurring costs of $4.0 million recognized in the prior year related to the resale of inventory that was recorded at fair value during the Birds Eye acquisition.

Specialty Foods Division:

Earnings before interest and taxes were $8.4 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011, an increase of $2.9 million or 52.7% from the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by non-recurring costs of $2.9 million recognized in the prior year related to the resale of inventory that was recorded at fair value during the Birds Eye acquisition.

Interest expense, net.

Interest expense, net was $51.2 million in the three months ended March 27, 2011, compared to $55.1 million in the three months ended March 28, 2010.

44

Included in interest expense, net, was $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and the three months ended March 28, 2010, respectively, for the amortization of the cumulative mark-to-market adjustment for an interest rate swap that was de-designated for swap accounting in the fourth quarter of 2008 and subsequently terminated. The counterparty to the interest rate swap was Lehman Brothers Special Financing (“LBSF”), a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers, and the hedge was de-designed for swap accounting at the time of LBSF’s bankruptcy filing. At that time of de-designation, the cumulative mark to market adjustment was $11.5 million. As of March 27, 2011, the remaining unamortized balance is $1.9 million.

Excluding the impact of the item in the previous paragraph, the decrease in interest expense, net, was $3.6 million, of which $1.6 million was due to lower term loan debt levels due to payments made in 2010, $0.7 million due to lower interest on term loans, $0.6 million impact of the August 2010 refinancing, $1.0 million due to lower amortization of debt issue costs, offset by increases of $0.3 million. Included in the interest expense, net, amount was $5.0 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and the three months ended March 28, 2010, respectively, recorded from losses on interest rate swap agreements, a net change of $0.6 million. We utilize interest rate swap agreements to reduce the potential exposure to interest rate movements and to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt. Any gains or losses realized on the interest rate swap agreements, excluding the Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) portion, are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes.

The effective tax rate was 39.6% for the three months ended March 27, 2011, compared to 43.6% for the three months ended March 28, 2010. The effective rate difference was due to the change in our assessment of unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 we maintained a valuation allowance against certain state net operating carryovers, state tax credits carryovers and foreign loss carryovers. Refer to Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Under Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”) Section 382, the Company is a loss corporation. Section 382 of the Code places limitations on our ability to use certain net operating loss carry-forwards to offset income. The annual net operating loss limitation is approximately $14 to 18 million subject to other rules and restrictions. A substantial portion of our net operating loss carry-forwards and certain other tax attributes may not be utilized to offset Birds Eye income from recognized built in gains pursuant to Section 384 of the Code.

LIQUIDITYANDCAPITALRESOURCES

Historical

Overview. Our cash flows are very seasonal. Typically we are a net user of cash in the third quarter of the calendar year (i.e., the quarter ending in September) and a net generator of cash over the balance of the year.

Our principal liquidity requirements have been, and we expect will be, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and debt service. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $120- $130 million in 2011, which consists of normal capital expenditures of $87-$92 million and $33-$38 million related to our two separately announced restructuring projects. We have historically satisfied our liquidity requirements with internally generated cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 27, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2010

Net cash provided by operating activities was $78.1 million for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and was the result of net earnings, excluding non-cash charges and credits, of $54.4 million and a decrease in working capital of $23.7 million. The decrease in working capital was primarily the result of a $11.2 million decrease in inventories that was due to the sell-down of the seasonal inventory build from December 2010 and seasonal increases of $17.7 million and $17.6 million, respectively, in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The decrease in inventories and increase in accounts payable and accruals were offset by a $24.6 million increase in accounts receivable that related to the timing of sales within March. The aging profile of accounts receivable has not changed significantly from December 2010. All other working capital accounts generated a net $1.8 million in cash.

Cash flows in the three months ended March 28, 2010 were impacted by the Birds Eye Acquisition which occurred on December 23, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities was $102.2 million in the three months ended March 28, 2010 and was the result of net earnings excluding non-cash charges of $27.9 million and a decrease in working capital of $74.3 million. Net earnings was reduced and the decrease in working capital was made larger by the following items: a $17.3 million charge related to the write up of Birds Eye inventories to fair value at the date of acquisitions, a $8.7 million termination benefits charge related to the announced closing of the Rochester, NY office and $2.5 million in acquisition integration charges. Excluding the impact of those items, working capital decreased by $45.8 million principally driven by the seasonal sell-down of inventories of $53.8 million, somewhat offset by the related increase in accounts receivable of $35.8 million, higher accrued interest of $24.4 million due to timing of semi-annual bond interest payments, and higher accrued income taxes of $6.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 was $15.8 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and was related exclusively to capital expenditures during both periods.

Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 27, 2011 was $0.8 million and related primarily to capital lease and note payable activity. Net cash used by financing activities was $35.2 million during the three months ended March 28, 2010. The usage primarily related to the March 2010 $27.0 million “Excess Cash Flow” payment against our term loans as required by the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We also made a quarterly payment of $3.1 million on the term loan and reduced bank overdrafts by $5.1 million.

The net of all activities resulted in an increase in cash of $61.5 million and $52.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010.

Debt

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) consists of (i) term loans in an initial aggregate amount of $1,250.0 million (the “Tranche B Term Loans”); (ii) term loans issued on August 17, 2010 in an initial aggregate principal amount of $442.3 million (the “Tranche D Term Loans”) and (iii) revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $150.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Tranche B and Tranche D Term Loans mature April 2, 2014. The Revolving Credit Facility matures April 2, 2013.

There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010. There have been no borrowings under the revolver at any time in 2010 or 2011.

The total combined amount of the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche D Term Loans that were owed to affiliates of The Blackstone Group as of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, was $127.7 million and $125.7 million, respectively.

Our borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest at a floating rate and are maintained as base rate loans or as Eurocurrency rate loans. Base rate loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The base rate is defined as the higher of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Reserve reported overnight funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%. Eurocurrency rate loans bear interest at the adjusted Eurocurrency rate, as described in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, plus the applicable Eurocurrency rate margin. Solely with respect to Tranche D Term Loans, the Eurocurrency rate shall be no less than 1.75% per annum. Solely with respect to Tranche D Term Loans, the base rate shall be no less than 2.75% per annum.

The applicable margins with respect to our Senior Secured Credit Facility vary from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and agreed upon pricing grids based on our leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The applicable margins with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facility are currently:

Applicable Margin (per annum)
Revolving Credit Facilty and Letters of Credit									Term Loans						Tranche D Term Loans
Eurocurrency Rate for Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Fees			Base Rate for Revolving Loans			Commitment Fees Rate			Eurocurrency Rate for Term Loans			Base Rate for Term  Loans			Eurocurrency Rate for Term Loan D			Base Rate for Term Loan  D
	2.25	%		1.25	%		0.50	%		2.50	%		1.50	%		4.25	%		3.25	%

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by each of our direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in (i) all the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each of our direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each of our direct foreign subsidiaries, or any of our domestic subsidiaries and (ii) certain of our tangible and intangible assets and those of the Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications).

A commitment fee of 0.50% per annum is applied to the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. For the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 3.52% and 4.87%, respectively. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 2.75% and 2.76%, respectively however no borrowings were made during 2010 or 2011. As of March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, the Eurodollar interest rate on the term loan facility was 3.52% and 4.78%, respectively.

We pay a fee for all outstanding letters of credit drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate equivalent to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, less the fronting fee payable in respect of the applicable letter of credit. The fronting fee is equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such letter of credit. The fronting fees are computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Total letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility cannot exceed $50.0 million. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, we had utilized $30.8 million and $34.2 million, respectively of the Revolving Credit Facility for letters of credit. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010, respectively, there was $119.2 million and $115.8 million of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $19.2 million and $15.8 million was available to be used for letters of credit.

47

Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility we are required to use 50% of our “Excess Cash Flow”, to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche D Term Loans. Excess Cash Flow is determined by taking consolidated net income (as defined) and adjusting it for certain items, including (1) all non cash charges and credits included in arriving at consolidated net income, (2) changes in working capital, (3) capital expenditures (to the extent they were not financed with debt), (4) the aggregate amount of principle payments of indebtedness and (5) certain other items defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In December 2010, we made a voluntary prepayment of $73.0 million to the Tranche D Term Loans. As a result of this prepayment, no payment was due under the Excess Cash Flow requirements of Senior Secured Credit Facility for the 2010 reporting year. In March 2010, in accordance with the Excess Cash Flow requirements of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we made a mandatory prepayment of the term loans of $27.0 million for the 2009 reporting year.

The Tranche B Term Loans mature in quarterly 0.25% installments from September 2007 to December 2013 with the remaining balance due in April 2014. The aggregate maturities of the Term Loan outstanding as of March 27, 2011 are $2.5 million in 2011, $12.5 million in 2012, $12.5 million in 2013 and $1,171.9 million in 2014. The Tranche D Term Loans mature in quarterly 0.25% installments from December 2010 to December 2013 with the remaining balance due in April 2014. The aggregate maturities of the Tranche D Term Loans outstanding as of March 27, 2011 are no payments due in 2011, 2012 and 2013, with a lump sum payment of $368.2 million due in 2014.

On April 2, 2007, we issued $325.0 million of 9.25% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) due 2015, and $250.0 million of 10.625% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) due 2017. On December 23, 2009, as part of the Birds Eye Foods Acquisition, we issued an additional $300 million of 9.25% Senior Notes due in 2015 (the “Additional Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes and the Additional Senior Notes are collectively referred to herein as the 9.25% Senior Notes. On August 17, 2010 we issued $400.0 million of 8.25% Senior Notes, due 2017 (the “8.25% Senior Notes”) and utilized the proceeds to repay the Tranche C Term Loans.

The 9.25% Senior Notes and the 8.25% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of ours, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and our future senior secured indebtedness and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are our general unsecured obligations, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and our future senior indebtedness and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements.

We may redeem some or all of the 8.25% Senior Notes at any time prior to September 1, 2013, and some or all of the Senior Subordinated Notes at any time prior to April 1, 2012, in each case at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. The “Applicable Premium” is defined as the greater of (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note and (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such 8.25% Senior Note at September 1, 2013 or such Senior Subordinated Note at April 1, 2012, plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such 8.25% Senior Note through September 1 2013 or such Senior Subordinated Note through April 1, 2012 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points over (b) the principal amount of such note.

48

We currently may redeem the 9.25% Senior Notes, and in the future may redeem the 8.25% Senior Notes, or the Senior Subordinated Notes at the redemption prices listed below, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1^st (for the 9.25% Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes ) or September 1^st ( for the 8.25% Senior Notes) of each of the years indicated below:

49

As market conditions warrant, we and our subsidiaries, affiliates or significant shareholders (including The Blackstone Group L.P. and its affiliates) may from time to time, in our or their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities (including any publicly issued debt or equity securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, as of March 27, 2011, is as follows:

(million $)	March 27, 2011

Covenant Compliance

The following is a discussion of the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to:

• incur additional indebtedness and make guarantees;

• create liens on assets;

• engage in mergers or consolidations;

• sell assets;

• pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock;

• make investments, loans and advances, including acquisitions;

• repay the Senior Subordinated Notes or enter into certain amendments thereof; and

• engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

8.25% Senior Notes, 9.25% Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

Additionally, on April 2, 2007, we issued the 9.25% Senior Notes and the 10.625% Senior Subordinated Notes. On December 23, 2009, we issued additional 9.25% Senior Notes. On August 17^th 2010, we issued the 8.25% Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior secured indebtedness, and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations, subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, and guaranteed on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness.

The indentures governing the 8.25% Senior Notes, 9.25% Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes limit our (and most or all of our subsidiaries’) ability to, subject to certain exceptions:

• incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares;

• pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments;

• make certain investments;

• sell certain assets;

• create liens on certain assets to secure debt;

• consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and

• designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Subject to certain exceptions, the indentures governing the notes permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

Consolidated EBITDA

Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, if at any time there are borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount greater than $10.0 million, we are required to maintain a ratio of consolidated total senior secured debt to Consolidated EBITDA (defined below) for the most recently concluded four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio”) less than a ratio of 4.00:1. Consolidated total senior secured debt is defined under the Senior Secured Credit Facility as aggregate consolidated secured indebtedness of the Company less the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, in the case of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or to the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recently concluded four consecutive fiscal quarters or the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, in the case of the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes.

51

Consolidated EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), further adjusted to exclude non-cash items, non-recurring items and other adjustment items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financial covenants.

EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA do not represent net earnings or loss or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. In particular, the definitions of Consolidated EBITDA in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures allow us to add back certain non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net earnings or loss. However, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. While EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

Our ability to meet the covenants specified above in future periods will depend on events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios. A breach of any of these covenants in the future could result in a default under, or an inability to undertake certain activities in compliance with, the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, at which time the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.

The following table provides a reconciliation from our net earnings to EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA for the three month periods ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010 and the year ended December 26, 2010. The terms and related calculations are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 8.25% Senior Notes, 9.25% Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.

INFLATION

Prior to 2005, inflation did not have a significant effect on us as we have been successful in mitigating the effects of inflation with cost reduction and productivity programs, as well as increasing selling prices during periods of higher inflation. Beginning 2005 and continuing into 2008, we experienced higher energy and commodity costs in production and higher fuel surcharges for product delivery. Inflation was less pronounced in 2009 and in 2010, but is more pronounced in 2011. To the extent possible, we combat inflation with productivity programs. However, price increases will be necessary in order to preserve our margins and returns. Although we have no such expectation, severe increases in inflation could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

No new accounting pronouncements have had a significant impact on the financial statements during the three months ended March 27, 2011, nor are there any issued but not yet effective accounting standards, which we expect to have a significant impact upon becoming effective.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices.

We manage interest rate risk based on the varying circumstances of anticipated borrowings and existing variable and fixed rate debt, including our revolving line of credit. Examples of interest rate management strategies include capping interest rates using targeted interest cost benchmarks, hedging portions of the total amount of debt, or hedging a period of months and not always hedging to maturity, and at other times locking in rates to fix interests costs.

Certain parts of our foreign operations in Canada expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Our goal is to reduce our exposure to such foreign exchange risks on our foreign currency cash flows and fair value fluctuations on recognized foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments to acceptable levels primarily through the use of foreign exchange-related derivative financial instruments. We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of our functional currency.

We purchase raw materials in quantities expected to be used in a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. We generally enter into agreements for either spot market delivery or forward delivery. The prices paid in the forward delivery contracts are generally fixed, but may also be variable within a capped or collared price range. Forward derivative contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our manufacturing process.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted. One intent of this law is to establish a regulatory structure for the derivatives market and to increase the transparency of financial reporting related to derivatives. We anticipate that the law will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28, 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

As of March 27, 2011, we had the following interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount	Fixed Rate Range	Index	Trade Dates	Maturity Dates
Interest Rate Swaps	10	$1,131.6 million	1.06% -3.33%	USD-LIBOR-BBA	Oct 2008 - Aug 2010	Apr 2011 - July 2012

56

According to the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $22.6 million will be reclassified as an increase to Interest expense relating to both active and terminated hedges.

Due to the counterparty bank declaring bankruptcy in October 2008, we discontinued prospectively the hedge accounting on our interest rate derivatives with Lehman Brothers Specialty Financing on the bankruptcy date as those hedging relationships no longer met the definition of effective hedge under authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting. We terminated these positions during the fourth quarter of 2008. We continue to report the net gain or loss related to the discontinued cash flow hedge in AOCI which is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the original contractual terms of the derivative agreements as the hedged interest payments are expected to occur as forecasted. For the three months ended March 27, 2011 and March 28 2010, $0.7 million and $1.0 million was reclassified as an increase to Interest expense relating to the terminated hedges, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

Our operations in Canada have exposed us to changes in the US Dollar – Canadian Dollar (USD-CAD) foreign exchange rate. From time to time, our Canadian subsidiary purchases inventory denominated in US Dollars (USD), a currency other than our functional currency. The subsidiary sells that inventory in Canadian dollars. The subsidiary uses currency forward and collar agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. Currency collar agreements involve the sale of Canadian Dollar (CAD) currency in exchange for receiving US dollars if exchange rates rise above an agreed upon rate and sale of USD currency in exchange for receiving CAD dollars if exchange rates fall below an agreed upon rate at specified dates.

As of March 27, 2011, we had the following foreign currency exchange contracts (in aggregate) that were designated as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk:

Product	Number of Instruments	Notional Sold in Aggregate	Notional Purchased in Aggregate	USD to CAD Exchange Rates	Trade Date	Maturity Dates
CAD Forward	30	$88.4 million CAD	$86.7 million USD	.999-1.051	March 2010 - Feb 2011	Apr 2011 - Dec 2012

According to the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recognized directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-designated Hedges of Commodity and Interest Rate Risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to commodity price risk but do not meet the authoritative guidance for derivative and hedge accounting. From time to time, we enter into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of natural gas, diesel fuel and soybean oil purchases and other commodities at a future delivery date. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

57

As of March 27, 2011, we had the following natural gas swaps (in aggregate), diesel fuel swaps (in aggregate) and soybean oil options (in aggregate) that were not designated in qualifying hedging relationships:

Product	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount	Price/Index	Trade Dates	Maturity Dates
Natural Gas Swap	3	159,000 MMBTU’s	$4.26 -$4.42 per MMBTU	Feb 2011 - March 2011	Dec 2011
Diesel Fuel Swap	6	12,684,773 Gallons	$3.00 - $3.55 per Gallon	Aug 2010 - Jan 2011	Mar 2011 - June 2011
Soybean Oil Options	2	15,600,000 Pounds	$0.52 - $0.58 per Pound	Jan 2011	Apr 2011

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have agreements with certain counterparties that contain a provision whereby we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of March 27, 2011, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If we had breached this provision at March 27, 2011, it could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value. The table below summarizes the aggregate fair values of those derivatives that contain credit risk contingent features as of March 27, 2011 and December 26, 2010.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 27, 2011. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a level of reasonable assurance.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 27, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Commitment of $6.2 Million Capital Expenditure

In working to resolve an environmental wastewater investigation by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (MDNRE) at the Company’s Birds Eye Foods Fennville, MI production facility, on July 20, 2010, the Company and the MDNRE reached an agreement (“Administrative Consent Order” or “ACO”). Under the terms of the ACO, Birds Eye Foods will construct a new wastewater treatment system at the facility currently estimated at $6.2 million and contribute a minimum of $70 thousand to the hookup of the City’s water supply extension to affected residents.

Lehman Brothers Special Financing

On June 4, 2010 Lehman Brothers Special Financing (LBSF) initiated a claim against the Company in LBSF’s bankruptcy proceeding for an additional payment from the Company of $19.7 million, related to certain derivative contracts which the Company had earlier terminated due to LBSF’s default as a result of its bankruptcy filing in 2008. In accordance with the terms of the contracts, following LBSF’s bankruptcy filing, the Company terminated the contracts and paid LBSF approximately $22.3 million. The Company believes that the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.
