Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Restated) May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Amounts are expressed in thousands of dollars) 1. Significant accounting policies The financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial statements. The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared using judgment within reasonable limits of materiality. These interim financial statements do not include all the note disclosures required for annual financial statements and therefore they should be read in conjunction with the company's audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2004. The significant accounting policies follow those disclosed in the most recently reported annual financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the August 31, 2005 presentation. Certain auction rate securities have been reclassified from cash to investments. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in excess of 90 days. The Company historically classified these instruments as cash if the period between interest rate resets was 90 days or less, which was based on the Company's ability to either liquidate its holdings or roll the investment over to the next reset period. The Company has classified its auction rate securities at May 31, 2005 and August 31, 2004, $12,500 and $28,050 respectively, as investments. In addition, "Purchase of investments" and "Redemption of investments" included in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, have been revised to reflect the purchase and sale of auction rate securities for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 and 2004. 2. Accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated. 3. Changes in accounting policy and restated financial statements The Company adopted the U.S dollar as its functional and reporting currency effective September 1, 2004, the commencement of fiscal 2005. The Company adopted the U.S. dollar for its financial reporting since the majority of its business is conducted in the United States and to make comparisons between current and prior periods more meaningful to investors. For comparative purposes, historical financial statements and notes have been restated into U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company adopted, on a retroactive basis, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Previously the Company prepared its annual and interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in Canada ("Cnd GAAP"). As a result, the following adjustments have been made to previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentive and trade promotions. Such programs include, but are not limited to, cooperative advertising, promotional discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, volume based incentives and product introductory payments (i.e. slotting fees). Such consumer and trade promotion activities have been historically accounted for as selling, general and administrative expenses. In accordance with EITF No. 01-09 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the Vendors Products" certain payments made to customers by the Company, including promotional sales allowances, cooperative advertising and product introductory expenses must be deducted from revenue. CoolBrands International Inc. Consolidated Notes to Interim Financial Statements (Restated) (Unaudited) May 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Amounts are expressed in thousands) Changes in accounting policy and restated financial statements (cont'd) Accordingly, our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 have been restated to reflect a reduction in revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses of $21,795 and $46,703, respectively. Our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2004 have been restated to reflect a reduction in revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses of $10,989 and $27,662, respectively. The following summarizes the impact of restatement for the change from Cnd to US GAAP for consumer trade promotion expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations: For the nine months ended For the three months ended ------------------------- -------------------------- May 31, May 31, May 31, May 31, 2005 2004 2005 2004 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total net revenues in accordance with Canadian GAAP $307,718 $348,548 $119,685 $139,129 Less consumer and trade promotion expenses (46,703) (27,662) (21,795) (10,989) -------- -------- -------- -------- Total net revenues in accordance with U.S. GAAP $261,015 $320,886 $ 97,890 $128,140 ======== ======== ======== ======== For the nine months ended For the three months ended ------------------------- -------------------------- May 31, May 31, May 31, May 31, 2005 2004 2005 2004 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total selling, general and administrative expenses in accordance with Canadian GAAP $ 79,187 $ 62,235 $ 36,479 $ 21,725 Less consumer and trade promotion expenses (46,703) (27,662) (21,795) (10,989) -------- -------- -------- -------- Total selling, general and administrative expenses in accordance with U.S. GAAP $ 32,484 $ 34,573 $ 14,684 $ 10,736 ======== ======== ======== ======== Product introduction expenses (i.e. slotting fees) incurred by the Company have been historically recognized as expense by amortizing the slotting fees over the twelve months subsequent to the actual acceptance of product introduction offers by our customers. Under U.S. GAAP, such expenses are recognized as expenses at the time product introduction offers are accepted by our customers, which for measurement purposes is at the time of the first shipment of the product to each customer. As a result of this change, Retained Earnings as of August 31, 2003 has been reduced to reflect the cumulative effect of this change through that date by $3,644. Our previously reported Net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2005 has been decreased by $465 and our previously reported Net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2005 has been increased by $3,687. Our previously reported Net earnings for the three months ended May 31, 2004 have been decreased by $1,877 and our previously reported Net earnings for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 have been decreased by $521.

Previously, the Company was required to disclose only the pro-forma effect of stock options issued to employees and employee directors in the notes to the financial statements. As a result of adopting U.S. GAAP during the fourth quarter of 2005, as previously discussed, the Company adopted, on a modified prospective basis, the recommendations of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." This statement superseded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". The adoption of this accounting policy had no effect for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005 and reduced earnings before income tax and minority interest for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2004 by $16,658 and $24,270, respectively with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

Acquisition On March 27, 2005, CoolBrands acquired the yogurt business of Kraft Foods, Inc. (NYSE: KFT) for approximately $57,500. The acquired brands include Breyers Fruit on the Bottom, Light and Creme Savers cup yogurt varieties and Creme Savers Smoothie drinkable yogurts. Pursuant to the agreement, CoolBrands' wholly owned subsidiary, Integrated Brands, Inc., purchased substantially all of Kraft's assets related to its yogurt business, including a license for the Breyers trademark, a license for the Creme Savers trademark, a license for the Light 'n Lively trademark and Kraft's manufacturing facility in North Lawrence, New York. CoolBrands obtained short term bank financing for approximately $40,000 of the purchase price and utilized cash for the balance of the purchase price.
