&ldquo;future,&rdquo; &ldquo;look forward&rdquo; and similar expressions, or the negative of those expressions, may identify forward-looking

the Company&rsquo;s expectations relating to (i) the Company&rsquo;s guidance for net sales and earnings per diluted share in fiscal
year 2013; and (ii) the acquisition of Premier Foods and the potential improvements to the Company's sales and earnings resulting
therefrom. These risks include but are not limited to the Company&rsquo;s ability to achieve its guidance for net sales and earnings
per diluted share in fiscal year 2013 as a result of the economic environment in the U.S. and other markets that it sells products
as well as economic, political and business conditions generally and their effect on the Company&rsquo;s customers and consumers&rsquo;
product preferences, and the Company&rsquo;s business, financial condition and results of operations; unanticipated variances in
seasonality of the Company&rsquo;s business, including potential variances greater than those experienced in historical periods;
the Company&rsquo;s expectations for its business for fiscal year 2013 and its positioning for the future; changes in estimates
or judgments related to the Company&rsquo;s impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as with respect
to the Company&rsquo;s valuation allowances of its deferred tax assets; the Company&rsquo;s ability to implement its business and
acquisition strategy, including its strategy for improving results in the United Kingdom and the integration of the Daniels Group
acquisition; the ability of the Company&rsquo;s joint venture investments, including Hain Pure Protein Corporation, to successfully
execute their business plans; the Company&rsquo;s ability to realize sustainable growth generally and from investment in core brands,
offering new products and its focus on cost containment, productivity, cash flow and margin enhancement in particular; the Company&rsquo;s
ability to effectively integrate its acquisitions; competition; the success and cost of introducing new products as well as the
Company&rsquo;s ability to increase prices on existing products; the availability and retention of key personnel; the Company&rsquo;s
reliance on third party distributors, manufacturers and suppliers; the Company&rsquo;s ability to maintain existing customers and
secure and integrate new customers; the Company&rsquo;s ability to respond to changes and trends in customer and consumer demand,
preferences and consumption; international sales and operations; changes in fuel, raw materials and commodity costs; the effects
on the Company&rsquo;s results of operations from the impacts of foreign exchange; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government
regulations; the availability of natural and organic ingredients; the loss of one or more of our manufacturing facilities; our
ability to use our trademarks; reputational damage; product liability; seasonality; the Company&rsquo;s reliance on its information
technology systems; and other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company&rsquo;s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. As a result of the foregoing and
other factors, no assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity and achievements and neither the Company nor
