On December 16, 2022, we completed the acquisition of certain assets (the “Acquisition”) of Specialty Cheese Company, Inc. The acquired assets are primarily related to the manufacturing and sale of baked cheese snack products, including those products sold under the Just the Cheese brand, all finished goods inventory and intangible assets. At the time of the closing of the Acquisition, the full purchase price of $3,500 was paid in cash and funded from our Credit Facility (as defined below). Just the Cheese is one of the nation’s leading baked cheese snacking brands and offers 100% real cheese snack bars and cheese crisps. The Acquisition will provide us with a product that expands our portfolio into new snacking categories and is anticipated to accelerate growth with our private brand and food service customers. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.

The final purchase price allocation was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 which resulted in immaterial changes to fixed assets and customer relationships. The total purchase price of $3,500 has been allocated to the fair values of the assets acquired as follows:


Inventories	$	240
Fixed assets		800
Identifiable intangible assets:
Customer relationships		250
Brand names		80
Non-compete agreement		30
Goodwill		2,100
Total purchase price	$	3,500

The customer relationship assets represent the value of the long-term strategic relationship with significant customers who purchase Just the Cheese brand products. The brand name asset represents the value of the established Just the Cheese brand name.

Goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, arises from intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and expected synergies from combining the operations related to the Just the Cheese brand with those of the Company. There were no material contingencies recognized or unrecognized associated with the Acquisition.

Due to the immaterial financial nature of the Acquisition, unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company (as if the Acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2023) will not be presented.

Since the Acquisition, we continue to operate in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut-related products through three sales distribution channels.
