UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On December 31, 2007, The Middleby Corporation (“Middleby” or the “company”) announced that it had completed the acquisition of New Star International Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“New Star”). The transaction consisted of an aggregate payment of $188.4 million which was financed with cash on hand and the net proceeds from a $450 million senior bank facility. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the Middleby Corporation for the year ended December 30, 2006 and for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2007 have been prepared to give effect to the New Star acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2006 (the first day of the company’s fiscal year 2006) . The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 2007 has been prepared to give effect to the New Star acquisition as if it had occurred on September 29, 2007. Because the company’s fiscal year differs from New Star’s, New Star’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2007, unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended November 30, 2007 and audited condensed consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 have been used in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the company believes are reasonable. The effects of the New Star acquisition have been presented using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management's best preliminary estimate of fair value with any excess purchase price being allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price will be subject to further adjustments, including the finalization of the purchase price resulting from post-close adjustments and the allocation of purchase price in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was based on estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by the company’s management. The pro forma and certain other assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited and does not purport to be indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the above transactions had been consummated as described above, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position or results of operations for future periods. Management has not completed its evaluation of New Star’s accounting policies and practices to determine if they conform to the company’s accounting policies and practices. Accordingly, other than the reclassifications discussed in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data, no adjustments have been made to the pro forma financial information related to conforming accounting policies and practices between New Star and the company. Any changes identified by management may impact the future combined results of operations of New Star and the company. The pro forma financial information does not include the effects of expected synergies related to the acquisition. The pro forma financial information also does not include costs for integrating the company and New Star.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and accompanying disclosures in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006 and the company’s most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 29, 2007.
