Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Condensed Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Note 1 — Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

		On February 6, 2009, Lifeway Foods, Inc., a Illinois corporation (“Lifeway”) entered into and consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) by and among Lifeway, Ilya Mandel, an individual and Michael Edelson, an individual (each a “Seller” and collectively “Sellers”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement, Lifeway purchased from Sellers all of the issued and outstanding stock (the “Shares”) of Fresh Made, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Fresh”). The consideration for the Shares was an aggregate of $8,050,000, less certain offsets for any selling expenses in excess of certain limits set forth in the Stock Agreement and other payments and funded debt all as set forth in the Stock Agreement, a note in the principal amount of $2,735,000, due on February 6, 2011, 128,948 shares of common stock of Lifeway valued at a total of $980,000 (“Lifeway’s Common Stock”), the cancellation of a loan in the principal amount of $265,000 and not more than $98,000 in funds held in Fresh’s two accounts with Vist Financial Corp. The issuance of Lifeway’s Common Stock was exempted from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
		The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 is presented to give effect to the acquisition of Fresh Made by Lifeway had it been consummated on that date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed statements of operations of Lifeway and Helios for the year ended December 31, 2008 are presented as if the transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2008.

		The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed financial statements reflect an estimated purchase price of $12,030,000. The total purchase price of the acquisition is as follows:

Cash	$	8,050,000
Note payable		2,735,000
Fair Value of stock issued		980,000
Forgiveness of debt		265,000
Total Purchase Price	$	12,030,000

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to Fresh Made’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Based upon the purchase price and the valuation, the estimated purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on Lifeway’s actual purchase price allocation analysis, is as follows:

		No value has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets as the valuation of these assets has not yet been performed.

Estimated tangible assets acquired	$	1,562,302
Estimated goodwill and amortizable intangible assets		10,902,520
Total assets acquired		12,464,822
Liabilities assumed		(434,822	)
Net assets acquired		12,030,000

Goodwill totaling $10,902,520 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of Fresh Made will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Final purchase accounting adjustments may therefore differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented here. Goodwill generated from this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 2 — Pro Forma Adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Fresh Made’s historical amounts to Lifeway’s financial presentation.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed financial statements have been prepared as if the acquisition was completed on December 31, 2008 for balance sheet purposes and as of January 1, 2008 for statement of operations purposes and reflect the following pro forma adjustments:

	a)	To reflect the cash payment, note payable, stock payment, forgiveness of debt, the establishment of goodwill and to eliminate the historical stockholders equity of Fresh Made. The Company financed the acquisition by entering into a loan agreement in the amount of $7,600,000. The loan agreement matures in February 2014 and has an annual interest rate of LIBOR +2.5% of prime. In conjunction with the acquisition of Fresh Made, the Company entered into a Real Property Purchase Agreement. The consideration for the property was $2,000,000 and was primarily financed with a draw on a line of credit.

	b)	To reflect the decrease in interest income as a result of the cash payment.

	c)	To reflect the increase in interest expense as a result of the note payable and line of credit.

	d)	To reflect the additional shares of Lifeway common stock issued as a result of the stock payment.

	e)	To reflect depreciation expense on acquired property and related depreciation.

Note 3 — Pro Forma Combined Net Income

Shares used to calculate unaudited pro forma consolidated combined condensed net income per basic and diluted share were computed using Lifeway’s weighted average shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2008 plus the issuance of 128,948 shares of Lifeway’s common stock as a result of the stock payment. Common stock issued as a result of this acquisition are included in full in Lifeway’s weighted average shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008.
