ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Effective October 1, 2000, Farmland Industries and Land O’Lakes consummated the formation of Land O’Lakes Farmland Feed LLC, a venture which combines the production, distribution and marketing of formula feed and feed ingredients, animal health products, and pet specialty products.
Farmland Industries contributed its feed fixed assets, inventories and certain other assets to the venture, and the venture assumed certain of Farmland’s feed liabilities. Based on the relative value of each company’s feed business, as determined through arms-length negotiations, Farmland received an approximate 31% equity interest in the venture. Our financial statements will reflect our investment as valued at the cost basis of assets contributed to the venture less liabilities assumed by the venture.
ITEM 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
The following pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are presented to illustrate the effects of the contribution of certain feed assets to the venture and the assumption of certain feed liabilities by the venture (the “Disposition”) on the historical financial position and operating results of Farmland.
The following pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet of Farmland at May 31, 2000 gives effect to the Disposition as if it occurred as of that date. The pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 and for the year ended August 31, 1999 give effect to the Disposition as if it occurred as of September 1, 1998.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, Farmland’s historical consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes. Those financial statements are included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1999.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are presented only for informational purposes. The feed business is highly seasonal - dairy feeding increases in the winter, swine feeding is year around, and catfish feeding is predominately in the summer. The pro forma presented for the nine months ended May 31, 2000 does not reflect a full cycle of earnings as it excludes the entire catfish feeding season and related profitability. From year to year, the profitability of the feed business varies by geographical area due to external factors such as livestock prices, drought, extreme temperatures, and general growing conditions. As a result, the accompanying pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations of Farmland that would have occurred had the Disposition been consummated as of the dates indicated. For the reasons stated above, the pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the future financial condition or operating results of Farmland.
