REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders of
Atlantic Premium Brands, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of J.C. Potter Sausage
Company, Inc. and affiliates (an Oklahoma company) as of June 30, 1996 and
1997, and the related combined statements of income, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of J.C. Potter Sausage
Company, Inc. and affiliates as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1996 and
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

J.C. POTTER SAUSAGE COMPANY, INC. AND AFFILIATES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 AND 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying combined financial statements present the accounts of J.C.
Potter Sausage Company, Inc. (Sales), Potter Sausage Processing Company, Inc.
(Processing), Potter's Farm, Inc. (Farm), Potter Rendering Company, Inc.
(Rendering), and Potter Leasing Company, LLP (Leasing) (collectively "J.C.
Potter Sausage Company, Inc. and Affiliates" or "the Company"), which produce
and distribute sausage and related products primarily in Oklahoma and
surrounding states. The accompanying balance sheets reflect the combined
financial position as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the unaudited combined
financial position as of March 20, 1998. The accompanying statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows reflect the combined results of
operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995, 1996, and 1997, and the
unaudited combined results of operations for the nine months ended March 31,
1997, and the period from July 1, 1997 through March 20, 1998. The companies
are held by common shareholders.
These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement between the stockholders and Atlantic Premium Brands, Ltd.
("Atlantic") whereby Atlantic is expected to acquire substantially all assets
and assume certain liabilities of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records sales when product is delivered to its customers.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and is comprised primarily
of packaged meat products, raw materials to be processed and packaging supplies
and ingredients. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment consists of land, buildings and building
improvements, office and warehouse equipment and delivery vehicles and is
stated at cost. Depreciation is provided under the straight-line and various
accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 10 years
Furniture and fixture 3-5 years
Machinery and equipment 3-5 years
Vehicles 3-5 years
F-7

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains
and losses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS No. 107), requires disclosures of fair
value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognised in the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
estimates of future cash flows. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company.
The carrying values of current assets and current liabilities approximate fair
value because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The
fair value of the Company's note payable is estimated using a discounted cash
flow analysis based on the Company's borrowing cost for similar credit
facilities at February 28, 1998. Unless otherwise indicated, management
believes the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair
value.
This disclosure related to financial instruments only. The fair value
assumptions were based upon subjective estimates of market conditions and
perceived risks of the financial instruments.
Significant Customers
During the years ended June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, sales to one customer were
approximately 10% of net sales for each year.
Income Taxes
Potter Leasing Company and Potter Farm, Inc. are subchapter S corporations for
income tax purposes and, as such, taxable income or loss from these companies
for the periods was included in the individual income tax returns of its owners
for federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, no provision for
income taxes has been included in the accompanying combined statements of
income for Potter.
J.C. Potter Sausage Company, Inc., Potter Sausage Processing Company, Inc., and
Potter Rendering Company, Inc. are C corporations for income tax purposes and,
as a result, accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109) for income taxes.
F-8
11
Accounting Pronouncements
During June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130 (SFAS No. 130), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. Management has not determined that the implementation
of SFAS No. 130 will have any impact on the Company's financial statements.
During July 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131 (SFAS No. 131),
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
establishes a new approach for determining segments within a company and
reporting information on those segments. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has not yet determined
whether the implementation of SFAS No. 131 will have any impact on the
Company's current method of disclosing business segment information.
Management has not determined that the implementation of SFAS No. 131 will have
any impact on the Company's current method of disclosing business segment
information.
