PART 1
ITEM 1BUSINESS
Overview
We process and package value-added refrigerated foods which we distribute to our customers three or more times per week in our fleet of refrigerated trucks and trailers. We sell primarily to
  food service distributors, restaurants, and retail chains. Our products consist of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, refrigerated prepared salads, and refrigerated soups and sauces. Before 2002, our product
  line consisted primarily of fresh-cut produce which we packaged and sold to food service customers, such as restaurants. In 2002, we expanded our operations into a more diverse line of refrigerated
  foods, to provide opportunities for greater profit margins. Initially, we added a limited number of refrigerated, prepared salads. Our fresh-cut vegetable and prepared salads facilities are operated
  within our production facility in Moore, Oklahoma. Our prepared salads operation uses our fresh-cut produce in its operations. The following represents our current distribution area:
All Products Prepared Foods Only (shelf life >30 days)

1

History
We were organized in 1989 under the laws of the state of Oklahoma as a successor to a family business that commenced operations in 1961. In March 2003, three of our officers, together with
  our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Herb Grimes, founded Allisons Gourmet Kitchens, LP (Allisons), to manufacture a line of refrigerated, prepared salads for retail outlets, our
  historical food service customers and restaurant chains. In June of 2006, Allisons acquired Wild About Foods, Inc. (Wild), a processor of soups, stews, sauces and side dishes, located in Fort Worth,
  Texas. Allisons was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary in connection with the successful completion of our initial public offering in July 2007.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various ready-to-eat food products procured and processed in a vertically integrated manner through its
  own distribution channel.
Processing, Packaging and Delivery
Our fresh-cut produce is processed and packaged in refrigerated production rooms. Vegetables are inspected, defective items are removed and the remaining vegetables are then cut, washed and
  sanitized in chilled chlorinated water. This washing process helps to increase shelf life and minimize the risk micro-organisms that might cause food-borne illnesses. Produce is then spin-dried and
  elevated to an automatic scale and form-fill and seal packaging machine. Finally, finished products are packed in sizes that fit customers needs, and boxed to insure that delicate items arrive at the
  customers door in good condition. Most items are made to order daily for maximum freshness, shelf-life and quality. Orders are pulled and palletized in a finished goods cooler, with each pallet
  tagged by customer and contents to assure delivery to the proper destination.
The degree of freshness of our products is dependent upon distance to market and delivery schedules of our foodservice distributor customers. In order to ensure freshness of product, we
  maintain a fleet of 30 trucks and 34 fifty-three foot refrigerated trailers, running 55 outbound routes per week. Trucks are pre-cooled before being loaded from our refrigerated loading dock. We
  deliver cut-to-order products three or more times a week, and up to six times a week to foodservice distributors. While our frequent delivery schedule is expensive, we believe that it helps our
  marketing efforts by emphasizing the freshness and quality of our products. To assure freshness to the ultimate consumer, we urge our customers to use first-in/first-out inventory control.
We observe Good Manufacturing Practices, as established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and we are audited by several independent
  inspection groups to assure that production operations meet or exceed safety standards. We believe these controls assure our customers of consistently high quality products.
Products
Our principal products fall into two categories: (a) refrigerated prepared salads, soups and side dishes, which includes beans, cole slaw, dessert salads, dips, meat salads, pasta salads, potato salads,
  soups and sauces; and (b) fresh-cut produce, which includes lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, peppers, fruits, a variety of other vegetables and blends of vegetables. We produce fresh-cut products in
  a variety of food service and retail package sizes, including custom vegetable mixes and custom sized packages for our large volume customers. Fresh-cut products are sold primarily to restaurant
  chains, food service businesses, institutional users and, to a lesser extent, retail chains while the bulk of our refrigerated prepared salads are sold to grocery store deli departments, food service
  distributors and regional restaurant chains.

Delivery System and Hauling Services
We reduce the costs of our delivery system and also generate revenue from our transportation assets by hauling product for others, either by backhauling or Third-Party Logistics (3PL). In
  backhauling we find freight for our empty trucks at or near the termination points of our own routes, then transport that freight back to the vicinity of our facility. Backhauls produce lucrative Less-
  Than-Truckload rates for our regional business. In 3PL we warehouse and transport other firms goods that have similar distribution requirements to our own products. Though lucrative, our 3PL
  service is limited by insufficient warehouse space. However, our national growth plans call for increased 3PL capability through renting of additional warehouse space and increasing the ratio of
  refrigerated trailers to trucks.
We have invested heavily in our delivery system because it is the key element that ties our product lines together. Our products are perishable and have shelf lives ranging from a few days to a
  maximum of 45 days. To ensure the freshness and quality of our products we distribute them three times per week, or for some large customers, daily, in our own fleet of 30 trucks and 34 fifty-three
  foot refrigerated trailers. Our delivery system is flexible and responsive to our customers needs and meets the current consumer demand for high quality, fresh food items. Our pattern of frequent
  delivery also builds strong customer loyalty.
Agricultural and Other Supplies
We purchase fresh produce from approximately 50 suppliers in five growing regions of California, Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Mexico. Purchasing produce from a number of different growing
  regions helps keep cost in control and protects our supply chain against adverse growing factors and seasonal variability in production. This supplier and geographic diversity also reduces our risk of
  shortfalls in supplies due to natural disasters, labor disruptions and other supply interruptions in any one area. We purchase other ingredients for our processed refrigerated prepared salad line and
  packaging material from a limited number of suppliers, but believe that all of these ingredients and other supplies are generally available in the marketplace at competitive prices. To keep costs down
  and maintain quality we have long-term established relationships with many of our suppliers and purchase an important part of our fresh produce pursuant to seasonal buying contracts. All produce is
  purchased directly from growers to further ensure consistent supply and quality.
Our quality assurance department inspects each incoming load to insure that it meets our standards. All raw product is stored in our temperature monitored, refrigerated warehouse prior to use.
  We track all items from the field to the customer and adhere to a strict first-in/first-out inventory control system.
We believe that our raw produce costs are higher than those of our major West Coast processor competitors. We are seeking to reduce our costs through coordinated buying programs with other
  regional processors with quality standards similar to our own. However, we may not be able to reach agreement with these other processors and coordinated buying may not lower our cost of raw
  produce.
The availability of raw produce, specifically lettuce, is subject to short-term fluctuations in quality and price primarily due to weather conditions and growing seasons. The effects of increases in
  cost, shortages of supply and decreases in quality may have material, adverse effects on our profitability. Lettuce purchases comprise 11% of our total cost of sales. See also Item 1ARisk Factors.
Marketing and Sales
Fresh-cut produce products are marketed and sold to restaurant chains, food service businesses, institutional users and, to a lesser extent, to retail stores and their suppliers. Refrigerated prepared
  salads are marketed and sold primarily to grocery store deli departments and food service distributors. Our products are currently provided to approximately 186 end-user recurring revenue accounts
  throughout the Plains States, Southwest, Southeast and recently in the Northeast.

Consistent demand enables us to enter into regular supply contracts with growers, helping to insure consistent sourcing.
We offer our customers a wide range of ready-to-order quality products in convenient packaging types and sizes. We also provide added value by creating custom vegetable mixes and custom
  sized produce cuts to fill special needs of large volume customers. Unlike some of our larger national competitors, we can produce and deliver these customized cut-to-order fresh-cut products to
distributors in less than two days. Our wide product mix enables our distributors to differentiate our products from those of our competitors when selling to their restaurant and institutional accounts.
In marketing our products we emphasize their freshness and quality. We also highlight our ability to package products in a wide variety of styles and sizes to meet customer demand. We can also
  quickly satisfy private labeling or recipe requirements, special packaging needs, frequent delivery schedules and can tailor pricing and promotional programs in coordination with customer programs.
We also promote our products by providing vital educational information to foodservice distributors and their end-user customers. Our marketing materials stress the benefits of fresh-cut produce
  and emphasize how fresh-cut produce meets the needs of restaurant and institutional food service professionals. We also plan to provide our distributors with information regarding yield and cost
  comparisons between whole produce and our fresh-cut products, food safety facts obtained from government and research groups, such as the Center for Disease Control, the need for the products
  which are sanitized of harmful micro-organisms that can cause food-borne illnesses and the freshness of our cut-to-order products when compared to those delivered from the West Coast, emphasizing
  shelf-life at the time of delivery. Proposed additional regional advertising will focus attention on the benefits of a regional fresh-cut processor. We believe that the training, marketing materials and
  high level of customer support which we provide are important components of our marketing efforts.
Competition
In our fresh-cut produce business we compete against large national processors, regional processors and local chop shops. The national processors typically have production facilities on the
  West Coast near the farms that grow much of the produce that they process. We believe that the national processors may enjoy cost advantages in buying produce. They have significantly greater
  financial and human resources and, in some cases have established, or are seeking to establish, regional processing facilities outside the West Coast to move closer to their customers. We compete
  successfully with these processors based upon the quality and freshness of our product, our ability to have speedy delivery within our primary market area and our ability and willingness to configure
  and package our product to meet the needs of our customers. We compete with our regional processor competitors on the same basis, but also on price. Price and quality are also particularly
  important in our competition with store based or local processors, often referred to as chop shops. If we and other regional competitors increase our market share, the major national processors
  may offer special pricing promotions aimed at retaining business or seek to acquire regional processors in order to supply a fresher product to local market and gain the other advantages of a local
  presence. We believe that we can compete with all categories of competition.
In our refrigerated prepared salad business we believe we compete successfully on the basis of the quality of our products, our customer service and our record for frequent, on-time, delivery.
We believe that we have a number of competitive strengths that in combination contribute to our ability to compete with major national and regional processors of fresh-cut produce and
  refrigerated prepared salads, particularly:

    
    
    
    Frequent deliveries. We deliver our perishable and short shelf life products three or more times per week. Our frequent deliveries coupled with our assistance to customers on how to handle
      our products on a first infirst out basis insure the freshness of our product to the ultimate consumer.
    
    
    
    Distribution capability. We maintain a fleet of 30 trucks and 34 refrigerated trailers giving us rapid delivery capabiltiy and strong logistical control.4


    
    
    
    Diverse and customized products. We offer a diverse range of ready-to-eat quality products in convenient packaging types and sizes. We can also deliver customized cut-to-order fresh-cut
      produce to distributors in less than two days.
    
    
    
    Single source supplier.As a single source supplier of both packaged fresh-cut salads and refrigerated prepared salads and soups, we allow customers the opportunity to consolidate their sources
      of supply.
    
    
    
    Diverse sources of supply. We purchase raw materials from multiple suppliers in multiple geographic growing regions. In 2007, we started a program to contract directly with growers of lettuce
      to further ensure our supply of raw materials.
    
    
    
    Broad customer base. No individual customer (or distinct purchasing unit of a consolidated national distributor) accounts for greater than 10 percent of our gross sales.Intellectual Property
We hold rights to the following brand names and United States trademarks:

    
    
    
    Fresh Fixins®

    Wild About Food and Design
    
    
    
    GreenlightAg SafetyWe believe that brand name recognition and the product quality associated with our brands are key factors in the success of our products. We rely on a combination of trademark and, with
  respect to our proprietary recipes, trade secret law to protect our intellectual property rights. We are not currently aware of any material challenge to our ownership of our major trademarks.
Government Regulation
We are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of
  Transportation and state and local authorities in jurisdictions where our products are processed or sold. Among other things, these regulations govern the processing, packaging, storage, distribution
  and labeling of our products. Our processing facility and products are also subject to periodic and surprise compliance inspections by federal, state and local authorities. We are also subject to
  environmental regulations governing the discharge of air emissions, water and food waste, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. Amendments
  to existing statutes and regulations, adoption of new statutes and regulations, increased production at our facility as well as our expansion into new operations and jurisdictions may require us to
  obtain additional licenses and permits and could require us to adapt or alter methods of operations at costs that could be substantial. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations may adversely
  affect our business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as well as possible criminal sanctions,
  which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In March 2007 the FDA issued draft final guidance containing non-binding recommendations for the operation of fresh-cut fruit and vegetable processing facilities. The guidance addresses worker
  health, hygiene and training, sanitary facility design and maintenance, building and equipment design, processing techniques, recall procedures and other matters. We participated in the comment
  process leading to the final draft guidelines and believe we are already in substantial compliance with these suggested guidelines as a result of our investment in quality assurance programs and the
  food safety aspects of our business.
In response to recent elevated consumer concern over food safety involving fresh produce, we have initiated a pre-harvest program, called Greenlight Ag Safety that focuses on the safety and
5

quality of produce before purchase and shipment into our facilities. Under this program we conduct onsite surveys assessing potential sources of contamination, including well and irrigation water, and
  site analysis pertaining to nearby animal husbandry operations, animal infestations, field drainage and soil amendments. We take physical samples of produce prior to harvest and evaluate these
  samples for pathogenic organisms in a mobile testing facility at or near the crop location. This program is in a start-up phase and full implementation with all major raw materials is not expected until
  the third quarter 2008.
We are licensed under the Federal Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, or PACA, which specifies standards for the sale, shipment, inspection and rejection of agricultural products, and
  governs our relationships with our fresh food suppliers with respect to the grading and commercial acceptance of product shipments. As a licensed commodity supplier under PACA, we are treated as
  a priority creditor in the event of the bankruptcy of our customers and are entitled to be paid out of PACA trust assets (produce inventory, products derived from that produce and cash and
  receivables generated from the sale of produce) prior to payments to other general creditors. We are also subject to regulation by state authorities for the accuracy of our weighing and measuring
  devices.
The Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations. In addition, interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements
  prescribed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other relevant federal and state agencies. Such matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to federal and state
  regulations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements relating to our motor carrier operations. Failure to comply with the applicable motor carrier
  regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating permits.
Employees
As of December 31, 2007, we employed 430 people at our Moore, Oklahoma and Fort Worth, Texas facilities, of which 11 were corporate employees and 429 are full time employees. None of
  our employees are unionized. From time to time, we employ additional personnel on a part-time basis in manufacturing operations. We do not have collective bargaining agreements with respect to
  any of our employees. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory.
ITEM 1ARISK FACTORS
In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in the Report, the following risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition and results of
  operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company also may impair the Companys business operations and financial condition.
If our products become contaminated or are mislabeled, we may be subject to product liability claims, product recalls and increased scrutiny by regulators, any of which could adversly affect our
  business.
Refrigerated products are vulnerable to contamination by organisms producing food-borne illnesses. These organisms are generally found in the environment, and, as a result, there is a risk that,
  as a result of food processing, they could be found in our products. Once contaminated products have been shipped for distribution, illness and death may result if the disease causing organisms are
  not eliminated by processing at the foodservice or consumer level. Also, products purchased from others for packing or distribution may contain contaminants that we are unable to identify. The risk
  can be controlled, but not eliminated, by use of good manufacturing practices and finished product testing. We may also encounter the same risks if a third party tampers with our products or if our
  products are inadvertently mislabeled. Shipment of adulterated products, even if inadvertant, is a violation of law and may lead to product liability claims, product recalls and increased scrutiny by
  federal and state regulatory agencies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Typically, when we
  purchase certain products or critical raw materials that we use in production, we
6

require a certificate of analysis from the vendor showing that the product is free of certain bacteria. Nevertheless, in mid 2005, as a result of our routine internal product testing, we discovered
  possible contamination by listeria moncytogenes in three different products, produced on various different dates over a period of 25 days. We immediately recalled a total of 23,435 pounds of these
  products at a total cost to us of $65,000. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service has received no complaints of illness associated with consumption of those products.
Volatile agricultural commodity costs could increase faster than we can recover them, which could adversly affect our financial condition and operating results.
Our ability to process and distribute our products depends, in large part, on the availability and affordability of fresh produce. The prices for high quality fresh produce can be volatile and
  supplies may be restricted due to adverse weather conditions, plant disease and changes in agricultural production levels. The amount and quality of available produce can vary greatly from season to
  season, or within a season, and our suppliers may not be able to meet their contractual obligations, particularly during periods of severe shortages. Limitations of supply, or the poor quality of
  produce available under our season-long contracts, could force us to buy produce on the open market during periods of rapid price increases, thus significantly increasing our costs. We can sometimes
  pass these higher costs on to customers, but a number of factors, including price increases that are faster or more severe than we anticipate may result in cost increases that we are not able to fully
  recover. We were particularly adversely affected during the second quarter of 2006 when adverse growing conditions in Southern California reduced the supply of lettuce at a time when alternative
  supplies from other growing regions were not yet available and forced us to buy lettuce on the open market during a period of rapidly rising prices. We maintained customer goodwill by continuing
  to supply them with lettuce under our sale and supply contracts, though at a cost of significantly reduced gross profit and overall losses. We experienced adverse market conditions again in October
  2007 for a period of three weeks, when our cost to purchase lettuce increased approximately $392,000. We were able to pass a portion of the increased cost on to our customers, partially offsetting
  the increased cost by $234,000. We expect that such conditions will recur from time to time and may have an adverse effect on our operating results when and if they do occur.
Increases in input costs, such as packaging materials and fuel costs, could adversely affect us.
The costs of packaging materials and fuel have varied widely in recent years, and future changes in such costs may cause our results of operations and our operating margins to fluctuate
  significantly. Fuel costs, which represent the most significant factor affecting transportation costs have generally increased over the last twenty-four months.
Changes in the prices of our products may lag behind changes in the costs of our materials. Competitive pressures also may limit our ability to quickly raise prices in response to increased
  packaging and fuel costs. Accordingly, if we are unable to increase our prices to offset increased packaging and fuel costs, our operating profits and margins could be adversely affected.
A material disruption at our processing plant could seriously harm our financial condition and operating results.
We process a majority of our products at our Moore, Oklahoma plant. Since we do not have operations elsewhere which could support our current volume of processed products, a material
  disruption at this plant would seriously limit our ability to deliver products to our customers. Such disruption could be caused by a number of different events, including: maintenance outages;
  prolonged power failures; equipment failure; a chemical spill or release; widespread contamination of our equipment; fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes or other natural disasters; or other
  operational problems. Any of these events would adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In April 2006 we had to shut down the plant for 21/2 days due to an ammonia
  leak. We estimate that this occurrence cost us approximately $200,000.
A decline in the demand for fresh-cut salads, or in the consumption of refrigerated prepared salads, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
The food industry is subject to changing consumer trends, demands and preferences. Medical studies detailing the healthy attributes of particular foods affect the purchase patterns, dietary trends
7

and consumption preferences of consumers. From time to time, weight loss and control plans that emphasize particular food groups have been popular and have affected consumer preferences.
  Adverse publicity relating to health concerns and the nutritional or dietary value of our products could adversely affect consumption and, consequently, demand for our products. In addition, as all of
  our operations consist of the production and distribution of processed food products, a change in consumer preferences relating to processed food products or in consumer perceptions regarding the
  nutritional value of processed food products could significantly reduce our sales volume. A reduction in demand for our products caused by these factors would have a material adverse effect on our
  business, financial condition and operating results.
Competition in our industry is intense and we may not be able to compete successfully. An inability to compete successfully could lead to the failure of our business.
The food processing industry is intensely competitive. In the fresh-cut produce business we compete against large national processors, many with production facilities near farms that grow much
  of the produce supplying the United States markets, regional processors and store based or local processors often referred to as chop shops. The national processors have substantially greater
  financial and other resources than we do and some may enjoy cost advantages in buying produce. If we and other regional competitors increase our market share, the major national processors could
  respond by offering special pricing promotions aimed at retaining business or seek to acquire or build regional processing capacities, any of which could hamper our expansion plans.
In the refrigerated prepared salad business we compete against the largest company in this business and smaller regional processors. Our principal competitor has greater financial and other
  resources than we do. We expect similar competition in other markets in which we may seek to expand. If we cannot compete successfully against our competitors we will not be able to grow and
  expand our business and may not, if our competitive failures are severe enough, continue in operation.
Managing our growth may be difficult and our growth rate may decline, which may expose us to the risk that we cannot meet our obligations or service indebtedness. If we cannot compete
  successfully against our competitors we will not be able to grow and expand our business and may not, if our competitive failures are severe enough, continue in operation.
We have rapidly expanded our operations since 2000. This growth has placed, and continued growth will continue to place, significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial
  resources. There can be no assurance that this growth or the current rate of growth will continue. However, to the extent that our growth continues at a high rate, we expect it to place a significant
  demand on our managerial, administrative, operational and financial resources. Our future performance and results of operations will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully implement
  enhancements to our business management systems and to adapt those systems as necessary to respond to changes in our business. Similarly, our growth has created a need for expansion of our
  facilities and processing capacity. As we near maximum utilization of our facility or maximize our processing capacity, operations may be constrained, which could adversely affect our operating
  results, unless the facility is expanded, volume is shifted to another facility, or additional processing capacity is added. Conversely, as we add additional facilities or expand existing operations or
  facilities, excess capacity may be created. Any excess capacity would add to our overhead burden and also create inefficiencies which would adversely affect our operating results. We can provide no
  assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our growth plan. If our plan is not successful, we will have incurred significant obligations and ongoing expenses, which we may not be able
  to service from our existing cash flow. If we cannot service our debt from our then-existing cash flow and if we cannot obtain additional financing to service that debt we would be forced to curtail or
  terminate operations.
Our business operations could be disrupted if our information technology systems fail to perform adequately.
The efficient operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage our business data, communications,
  supply chain, order entry and fulfillment, and other business processes. The failure of our
8

information technology systems to perform as we anticipate could disrupt our business and could result in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, and the loss of sales and customers, causing our
  business and results of operations to suffer. In addition, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond our control, including among
  other things, fire, natural disasters, systems failures, security breaches, and viruses. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Government regulation could increase our costs of production and increase our legal and regulatory expenditures.
We are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of
  Transportation and state and local authorities in jurisdictions where our products are processed or sold. Among other things, these regulations govern the processing, packaging, storage, distribution
  and labeling of our products. Our processing facility and products are subject to periodic compliance inspections by federal, state and local authorities. We are also subject to environmental
  regulations governing the discharge of air emissions, water and food waste, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. Amendments to existing
  statutes and regulations, adoption of new statutes and regulations, increased production at our facility as well as our expansion into new operations and jurisdictions may require us to obtain
  additional licenses and permits and could require us to adapt or alter methods of operations at costs that could be substantial. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations may adversely affect
  our business. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or seizures, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which
  could have a material adverse effect on our business, which may expose us to the risk that we cannot pay obligations or service debt incurred in attempting to expand. Many of the fines and penalties
  can be assessed on the basis of the number of occurrences of a particular violation and, therefore, are not possible to meaningfully predict. We estimate that the expense of compliance with existing
  regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Transportation and related state and local
  authorities exceeds $100,000, annually.
Seizure of our workers, strikes, changes in immigration laws or increased labor costs could adversely affect our business.
As of December 31, 2007, we had 430 employees, none of whom are unionized. We believe that a substantial number of our factory workers are immigrants. Though we require all workers to
  provide us with documentation showing that they can be legally employed in the United States of America, some of our workers may have, without our knowledge, provided improper documentation.
  Improperly documented workers can be subject to seizure and deportation. Various immigration reform bills have been introduced to the U.S. Congress in the recent past. We cannot accurately
  predict the effect, if any, on our work force of any immigration reform actions that may become law. Effective November 1, 2007, Oklahoma State House Bill 1804 became law making it illegal for
  any person or organization to knowingly harbor or transport illegal immigrants. Our responsibilities under this bill will increase on July 1, 2008, when we will be required to document an electronic
  verification process of prospective new employees with the Social Security Administration. Following the November 1, 2007 effective date of the bill, we have experienced a decline in the number of
  qualified applicants seeking employment. Any material labor disruption, as a result of seizure of our workers, strikes or changes in immigration law, or significantly increased labor costs at our
  facilities in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We depend upon the continued services of certain members of our senior management team, without whom our business operations would be significantly disrupted.
Our success depends, in part, on the continued contributions of our executive officers and other key employees. Our management team has significant industry experience and would be difficult
  to replace. We believe that the expertise and knowledge of these individuals in our industry, and in their respective fields, is a critical factor to our continued growth and success. We have not
  entered
9

into an employment agreement with any of these individuals. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects if we are unable to
  identify a suitable candidate to replace any such individual. Our success is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified marketing, technical and other personnel.
Our insurance and indemnification agreements may be inadequate to cover all the liabilities we may incur.
We face the risk of exposure to product liability claims and adverse public relations in the event that the consumption of our products causes injury, illness or death. If a product liability claim is
  successful, our insurance contracts may not be adequate to cover all liabilities we may incur, including harm to our reputation, and we may not be able to continue to maintain such insurance, or
  obtain comparable insurance at a reasonable cost, or at all. We generally seek contractual indemnification and insurance coverage from our suppliers, but this indemnification or insurance coverage is
  limited by the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party and their insurance carriers, if any, as well as the insured limits of any insurance provided by those suppliers. If we do not have adequate
  insurance coverage or contractual indemnification available, product liability claims relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
The consolidation of and market strength among our retail and foodservice customers may put pressure on our operating margins.
In recent years, the trend among our retail and foodservice customers, such as foodservice distributors, has been toward consolidation. These factors have resulted in increased negotiating strength
  among many of our customers, which has and may continue to allow them to exert pressure on us with respect to pricing terms, product quality and the introduction of new products. To the extent
  our customer base continues to consolidate, competition for the business of fewer customers may intensify. If we cannot continue to negotiate favorable contracts, whether upon renewal or otherwise,
  with these customers, implement appropriate pricing and introduce new product offerings acceptable to our customers, or if we lose our existing large customers, our potential for profitability could
  decrease.
The loss of a major customer could adversely impact our business.
We have supply arrangements with two certain distributors, representing 17 percent and 12 percent of its gross revenues, respectively. Both distributors are composed of numerous distinct
  purchasing units. No individual purchasing unit of either distributor represents greater than 4 percent of gross revenues. A change in these customer relationships could adversely affect our
  consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Our capital structure includes long-term indebtedness, which could limit financing and other options.
As of December 31, 2007, we had total debt and capital lease obligations of $12.8 million. Our debt instruments contain certain financial covenants and if we fail to comply with these
  requirements, our ability to obtain additional or alternative financing may be adversely affected. Our level of indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital,
  capital expenditures and acquisitions, and may also limit our flexibility to adjust to changing business and market conditions which could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in general economic
  conditions or a recession.
Our growth may depend on our ability to complete acquisitions and integrate operations of acquired businesses.
Our growth strategy includes acquisitions of other businesses. We may not be able to make acquisitions in the future and any acquisitions we do make may not be successful. Furthermore, future
  acquisitions may have a material adverse effect upon our operating results, particularly in periods immediately following the consummation of those transactions when the operations of the acquired
  businesses are being integrated into our operations.
Achieving the benefits of acquisitions depends on the timely, efficient and successful execution of a number of post-acquisition events, including integrating the business of the acquired company
10

into our purchasing programs, distribution network, marketing programs and reporting and information systems. We may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired companys operations or
  personnel or realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Our ability to integrate acquisitions may be adversely affected by many factors, including the relatively large size of a business and the
  allocation of our limited management resources among various integration efforts. The integration of acquisitions may also require a disproportionate amount of our managements time and attention
  and distract our management from running our legacy businesses.
In connection with the acquisitions of businesses in the future, we may decide to consolidate the operations of any acquired business with our existing operations or make other changes with
  respect to the acquired business, which could result in special charges or other expenses. Our results of operations also may be adversely affected by expenses we incur in making acquisitions, by
  amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with definite lives and by additional depreciation expense attributable to acquired assets. Any of the businesses we acquire may also have liabilities
  or adverse operating issues, including some that we fail to discover before the acquisition, and our indemnity for such liabilities may be limited. Additionally, our ability to make any future
  acquisitions may depend upon obtaining additional financing. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we seek to acquire other businesses
  in exchange for our Common Stock, fluctuations in our stock price could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete acquisitions.
ITEM 1BUNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2PROPERTIES
Our principal executive office are located at 216 N.E. 12th Street, Moore, Oklahoma in a 156,238 square foot office, plant and cold storage facility which we own. We also own and operate a
  manufacturing facility at 500 E. Central Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas and lease refrigerated warehouse space near our Moore facility.
ITEM 3LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. There are uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is difficult
  to determine the ultimate costs that we may incur. We believe the resolution of such uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
  financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 4SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted by us during the reporting period of 2007 to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

ITEM 5MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our common stock began trading on the Boston Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Capital Market with the ticker symbol FOOD on July 30, 2007 with an opening price of $5.00 per share.
  Prior to July 30, 2007, and following effectiveness of our registration statement for our initial public offering on June 27, 2007, our common stock traded as a component of a unit (FOODU)
  combined with our Class A warrants and Class B warrants, which became separately tradable on July 30, 2007 under the symbols FOODW and FOODZ. Additional information on the
  Companys warrants may be found in our registration statement on Form S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2007, and made effective on June 27, 2007. The
  following table sets forth for the periods indicated the high and low sales prices of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market:

  securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plan will be included under Item 12 (See Part III).
Our transfer agent as of December 31, 2007 was Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock and anticipates that for the foreseeable future any earnings will be retained for use in its business and, accordingly, does not
  anticipate the payment of cash dividends.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
In the last three years, we sold the following unregistered securities:

    
    
    
    In September 2006 we sold $2.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10% secured subordinated promissory notes due June 30, 2007 to 18 accredited investors. In July 2007 the 18
      accredited investors received, in partial satisfaction of these notes, $1.125 million of units based on the initial public offering price per unit.
    
    
    
    In August 2006 we issued to Paulson Investment Company an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million, bearing interest at 10% per annum. The original
      principal amount and accrued interest was repaid on January 24, 2008.The foregoing securities were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided in Sections 4(2), 4(6) and
12

Regulation D thereof, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The registrant reasonably believed that each purchaser had such knowledge and experience in financial and business
  matters to be capable of valuating the merits and risks of the investment, each purchaser represented an intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to distribution
  thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the secured and unsecured notes and will be added to the shares and warrants when issued.
Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock
On June 27, 2007, our registration statement (No. 333-137861) on Form S-1 was declared effective for our initial public offering, pursuant to which we registered the offering and sale of an
  aggregate of 2,150,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant, and one Class B Warrant, at a public offering price of $6.50 per unit.
The offering, which closed on July 3, 2007, did not terminate until after the sale of all of the shares registered on the registration statement. The managing underwriters were Paulson Investment
  Company, Inc., Capital Growth Financial, LLC, I-Bankers Securities, Inc., and Capital West Securities, Inc. As a result of the offering, we received net proceeds of $11.2 million, after deducting
  underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.0 million and additional offering-related expenses of $1.7 million. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our
  officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10 percent or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates.
Based on our current cash and cash equivalents balances, we expect that we will have sufficient resources to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We have used the proceeds of our
  initial public offering as follows:

ITEM 7MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-looking Statements
Certain written and oral statements set forth below or made by the Company with the approval of an authorized executive officer constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
  the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words believe, expect, intend, anticipate, project, will and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which convey
  the uncertainty of future events and generally are not historical in nature. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the
  future, including statements relating to the business, expansion and marketing strategies of the Company, industry projections or forecasts, the impact on our financial statements of inflation, legal
  action, future debt levels, sufficiency of cash flow from operations and borrowings and statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. Such
  statements are based upon our managements current estimates, assumptions and expectations, which are based on information available at the time of the disclosure, and are subject to a number of
  factors and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

    
    
    
    Our future operating results and the future value of our common stock;
    
    
    
    whether our assumptions turn out to be materially correct;
    
    
    
    our ability to attain such estimates and expectations;14


    
    
    
    our ability to execute our strategy;
    
    
    
    a downturn in market conditions in any industry, including the economic state of the food industry;
    
    
    
    the effects of, or changes in, economic and political conditions in the United States of America and the markets in which we serve;
    
    
    
    our ability to reasonably forecast prices of the commodities we purchase;
    
    
    
    our ability to timely forecast and meet customer demand for fresh-cut salads and refrigerated prepared salads;
    
    
    
    our ability to respond to changing consumer spending patterns; and
    
    
    
    our ability to attract and retain quality employees and control our labor costs.Any of the foregoing factors and uncertainties, as well as others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein. We undertake no obligation to affirm, publicly update
  or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
General
We process and package value-added, refrigerated foods which we distribute to our customers three or more times per week in our fleet of refrigerated trucks and trailers. Our products consist of
  fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, refrigerated prepared salads and refrigerated soups and sauces. Refrigerated prepared salads generate higher gross profit margins than our fresh-cut produce.
We produce products in a variety of food service and retail package sizes, including custom vegetable mixes and custom sized packages for our large volume customers. Salads and salad mixes
  are sold primarily to restaurant chains, food service businesses, institutional users and, to a lesser extent, retail chains while the bulk of our refrigerated prepared salads are sold to grocery store deli
  departments, food service distributors and regional restaurant chains.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
  judgments, assumptions and estimates that effect the amounts reported in the Companys consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical
  experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and our estimates, assumptions and judgments
  routinely require adjustment. The amounts of our assumptions regarding assets and liabilities reported in our consolidated balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each
  of our fiscal periods are affected by the critical estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for inventory, rebates, impairment of long-lived assets, and allowance
  for credit losses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.
Inventory. Inventory purchases and purchase commitments are based upon forecasts of demand. Our inventory is stated at the lower of average cost (which approximates first-in, first-out) or
  market. Inventory turns rapidly due to the nature of our fresh products and, accordingly, we do not generally experience material inventory valuation issues. However, in the instance where we may
  believe that demand no longer allows us to sell certain inventory above cost or at all, then we revalue that particular inventory to market or charge-off excess inventory levels. If customer demand
  subsequently differs from our forecasts, requirements for inventory revaluations and charge-offs could differ from our estimates. We have not historically experienced any material inventory
15

revaluations or charge-offs and manage inventory levels of both perishable and non-perishable supplies to minimize the effects of any revaluations.
Customer Rebates. Estimates and reserves for rebates are based on specific rebate programs, expected usage and historical experience. Actual results could differ from these estimates. With
  respect to some programs, we make a provision for rebates based on anticipated purchase volume. Greater than anticipated volume under a program would result in an additional charge to earnings.
  We have not historically experienced any material charges to earnings under our rebate programs; however, we could experience such charges in the future.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and an assessment of political and economic risk as well
  as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in a customers creditworthiness or actual defaults differ from our historical experience, our estimates of recoverability of amounts due us
  will be affected. We continually monitor customer accounts for indications of a customers inability to pay. Overdue accounts get special attention. Our recent losses on charged-off accounts have not
  been material.
Long-lived Assets.Long-lived assets such as property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
  may not ultimately be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. Cash flow
  estimates used in evaluating for impairment represent managements best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time. We have not experienced any write downs due to
  impairment for equipment in use. The depreciation lives of these assets are short (generally 5 to 7 years), resulting in relatively low net book values. Equipment not in use is depreciated in full or
  held for sale at its estimated recovery value.
Intangible Assets. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and
  Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, intangible assets are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined based upon the
  estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, including disposition. Cash flow estimates used in evaluating for impairment represent managements best
  estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time. We believe that accounting for intangible assets is a critical accounting policy due to the requirement to estimate the value in
  accordance with SFAS No. 144. Our intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationship intangibles of purchased entities.
Comparison of 2007 and 2006
We recorded a net loss for 2007 of $906,000 or $0.26 per share compared to a net loss of $1,205,000 or $0.52 per share in 2006. In 2007, we successfully completed our initial public offering and
  acquisition of Allisons. We incurred additional administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, most of which are recurring. Operating results were adversely affected by a
  settlement with a supplier in the amount of $200,000 in the second quarter and by excessive raw material net costs of $158,000 related to production of our lettuce products in the fourth quarter. We
  also incurred unusual items in the fourth quarter of 2007 of $244,000 related to recruiting costs for a new Chief Financial Officer and a new General Manager of Fresh Cut Produce, and the effects of
  rising energy costs.
Net sales.Net sales increased $15.9 million in 2007 to $67.2 million from $51.3 million in 2006. Our acquisition of Allisons represents $12.9 million or 81 percent of the increase. The amount of
  credit memos processed for returns of lettuce decreased in 2007 compared to 2006 due primarily to higher quality raw materials available in 2007. Our fresh-cut vegetable business shipped 4.4 million
  fewer pounds of product in 2007 compared to 2006. The decline in pounds shipped was substantially all in the lettuce category, as demand for lettuce decreased in 2007 as a result of public concern
  over lettuce-borne pathogens.
16

Gross profit.Our gross profit percentage was 9.9 percent in 2007 compared to 7.3 percent in 2006. The inclusion of Allisons due to acquisition increased our gross margin from 8.8 percent to 9.9
  percent in the current year. The increase in gross margin excluding Allisons is due to overall higher prices resulting primarily from changes in product mix, and production efficiencies in both labor
  and raw material costs resulting from higher quality raw materials. Labor cost efficiencies result from higher quality raw material due to less time required to handle and trim the raw materials.
Fuel costs during 2007, related to our inbound delivery of raw materials and outbound delivery of finished goods to our customers, continued to rise from the high levels encountered in 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.Our selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $6.2 million or 9.2 percent of net sales in 2007 compared to $4.0 million or 7.8 percent
  of net sales in 2006. The acquisition of Allisons represents $1.4 million of the increase. General and administrative expenses including administrative salaries, legal and consulting fees, directors and
  officers insurance and travel expenses increased due to operating as a public company by $1.0 million. We expect that these increased expenses will recur as we continue to operate as a public
  company. We experienced a decrease in salesperson salaries and commissions of $0.2 million in 2007 due to a reduction in commission rates and the addition of certain non-commission based sales.
Other income and expense.Other income and expense amounted to a net expense of $1,582,000 in 2007 compared to a net expense of $1,227,000 in 2006. The increase is due to an increase in
  interest expense of $455,000, a decrease in rent expense of $119,000, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $114,000 and a gain on sale of the company airplane of $123,000, partially
  offset by a loss on the sale of property. Prior to our acquisition of Allisons we collected rents for use of our manufacturing facility. Subsequent to the acquisition, those rents are eliminated in our
  consolidated statements of operations. Our initial public offering provided cash balances which were held in short-term investments, earning interest income.
Interest expense totaled $2,072,000 in 2007 compared to $1,617,000 in 2006. The higher interest costs in 2007 were primarily attributable to higher levels of indebtedness resulting from bridge
  loans outstanding, which were retired during the third quarter of 2007 with use of proceeds from the initial public offering.
Income tax expense (benefit).We recognized an income tax benefit of $207,000 in 2007 attributable to an operating loss partially offset by amortization of equity transactions, which represents a
  permanent difference in tax and book income amounts. In 2006, we recognized an income tax benefit of $307,000 due primarily to an operating loss, and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
Comparison of 2006 and 2005
Net Sales.Net sales in 2006 increased by $6.6 million (14.8 percent) to $51.3 million from $44.7 million in 2005. The increase was due primarily to increased volume from 20 new customers and,
  to a lesser extent, increased volume from some food distributors and other existing customers.
Our average selling price for all products (exclusive of backhaul revenue) decreased from $0.67 per pound in 2005 to $0.66 per pound in 2006. The net $6.6 million increase in product sales
  (exclusive of backhaul revenue) from 2005 to 2006 reflects a $7.5 million increase in sales due to the higher average volume, offset by an $800,000 decrease in sales due to lower average prices.
  Lower average prices in 2006 resulted primarily from customer credits granted in connection with lower quality lettuce as described below.
Gross profit.Gross profit in 2006 declined by $800,000 to $3.7 million from $4.5 million in 2005. The gross profit percentage in 2006 declined to 7.2 percent from 10.1 percent in 2005.
  Approximately $330,000 of the decrease in gross profit was due to increased costs associated with poor quality lettuce and increased fuel costs, and approximately $200,000 was due to excess cost of
  sales related to an ammonia leak in the processing plant. Depreciation expense increased by $70,000 due to the purchase of additional processing equipment. Maintenance and repair expenses
  primarily related to facilities, contributed approximately $200,000 to the decline in gross profit. Poor quality
17

lettuce reduced our yields of finished product and also required increased handling and trimming. Poor quality lettuce was a result of unusual weather conditions during the spring growing season in a
  number of regions.
Higher fuel costs increased our cost of inbound freight which was a significant factor in our increased cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 2005. Fuel costs related to
  freight out to customers as a percentage of sales increased from 3.2 percent in the year ended December 31, 2005 to 3.5 percent in the year ended December 31, 2006.
Our plant is refrigerated using liquid ammonia, which is pumped through our cooling system by a network of high-pressure pipes. In early April 2006, one of the pumps developed a leak in one
  of its seals. The amount of ammonia discharged was large enough to force evacuation of our plant and the immediate surrounding area, and we were not able to resume operation until the
  discharged ammonia had dissipated, the pump had been replaced, and our facility had again been cooled back to our normal operating temperature range of 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit. This evacuation
  resulted in decreased revenue for this time period, as we lost 2.5 days of production, and incurred a one-time expense of an ammonia consulting firm, which was employed to provide assurance that
  an incident such as this would not recur. We have since implemented a maintenance and prevention plan for our ammonia system to ensure we are fully operational at all times. Additionally, we
  have trained the majority of our maintenance and management staff to perform maintenance, detection, and prevention of leaks and malfunctions. Due to the ammonia leak, we incurred additional
  costs of sales expenses of approximately $200,000; consisting of $50,000 in credits and returns, $50,000 in additional plant payroll, $20,000 in late delivery fees, $20,000 in cleanup and supplies, and
  $60,000 in other expenses.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $4.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively; an
  decrease of approximately $200,000 or 4.8 percent. Expenses in 2006 relating to our initial public offering have been capitalized, and expenses related to previous unsuccessful equity financing projects
  through December 31, 2005, were expensed.
Income (loss) from Operations.Operating income or loss for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was a loss of $285,000 and a profit of $321,000, respectively. The 2006 decrease in
  profitability of approximately $500,000 was due to lower lettuce yields related to spring crop failures and the ammonia leak.
Other income (expense).Other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was a net expense of $1,227,000 and $722,000, respectively, an increase of $505,000 or 70
  percent. The primary reason for the increased 2006 expense was an increase of $620,000 of amortization of bridge loan asset (treated as interest expense, but included in depreciation and amortization
  in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows), a decline in interest income of $13,000 due to lower balances in interest bearing restricted cash accounts, a loss on disposal of assets
  compared to a gain on disposal of assets in 2005, and increased rental income of $44,000. Interest expense on short-term borrowings related to the building expansion was capitalized in the amount of
  $220,000. The net effect of the increased interest expense less the amount of interest expense capitalized was $511,000.
Earnings (loss) before income taxes.Earnings (loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was a loss of $1.5 million and a loss of $401,000, respectively, for a
  decrease in profitability of $1.1 million. The decrease was principally caused by the decrease in gross profit of approximately $600,000 and increased interest expense of approximately $500,000. In
  addition, higher revenue was offset by a decreased gross profit due to low quality lettuce and the ammonia leak and an increase in interest expense related to the expansion of our facility.
Income Taxes.The income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $307,000 and $160,000, respectively. The income tax benefit was due to the net operating loss and
  state tax job credits. Our effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 20 percent and 40 percent respectively. The increase in the effective rate is due to non-deductibility
  of amortization of bridge loan asset treated as interest.
18

Net Income (loss).Net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was a loss of approximately $1.2 million and $241,000, respectively. The increase of approximately $1
  million in net loss was due to the $1.1 million loss in earnings before income taxes offset by a $147,000 increase in income tax benefit.
Pro-forma Results
The following pro-forma results include the following major assumptions:
(a)
    
    
    
    That Allisons had been acquired on for before January 1, 2006;(b)
    
    
    
    An effective income tax rate of 38 percent; and(c)
    
    
    
    That all intercompany transactions between Vaughan and Allisons had been eliminated in consolidation;On a pro-forma basis, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $10.1 million to $79.4 million from $69.3 million proforma revenue in 2006. The increase in revenues was
  attributable to the addition of Wild in June 2006 by Allisons and the addition of a certain major customer in June 2007 by Allisons and by less significant customers in fresh cut vegetable and
  prepared salads businesses.
Pro-forma gross profit increased by $1.6 million to $9.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 from $7.6 million in 2006, due to revenue growth in the higher margin prepared foods
  business and the availability of higher quality raw materials in the fresh cut vegetable business. Pro-forma operating income was $1.6 million in 2007, compared to pro-forma operating income of $1.3
  million in 2006, an increase of $0.3 million.
Pro-forma net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $203,000 or $0.06 per share compared to pro-forma net loss of $294,000 or $0.13 per share for the year ended December 31, 2006.
  Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding were 3,461,539 and 2,300,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    )Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our liquidity requirements through internally generated funds, senior bank borrowings, and the issuance of other indebtedness. On July 3, 2007 we completed our
  initial public offering, which improved our working capital position and allowed us to retire certain indebtedness. On December 31, 2007 we completed a $5.0 million secured bank line of credit, due
  on March 31, 2010. There were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit or any previous line of credit at December 31, 2007.
Our working capital increased from a deficit of $7,208,000 at December 31, 2006 to a positive working capital position of $1,578,000 at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007 our cash and
  cash equivalents were $2,698,000 compared to $868,000 at December 31, 2006. Cash used by operating activities in 2007 was $1,237,281 resulting primarily from net losses and a reduction in our
  accounts payable balances.
Based on our current cash and cash equivalents balances, we expect that we will have sufficient resources to fund our operations for the next twelve months. The availability of our $5.0 million
  line of credit provides additional liquidity that may be utilized to meet temporary short term liquidity
19

needs. However, we can provide no assurance that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than we currently anticipate.
ITEM 7AQUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk.Market risks consist of interest rate fluctuations and commodity price fluctuations as further described below.
Interest rate risk.We are subject to market risk from exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Some of our debt instruments contain variable interest rates adjusted quarterly and upon date of
  change, and indexed by different published rates. At December 31, 2007 our revolving line of credit variable interest rate was 6.625%, or the prime rate less 0.625%. As of December 31, 2007 there
  were no borrowings, however $400,000 was reserved for issuance of a standby letter of credit, for the purpose of collateralizing our self-insured workers compensation program. Other long-term debt,
  totaling $3.5 million, secured by real estate and other assets also have variable rates indexed by LIBOR and other lending institution Base Rates.
Commodity Price Risks.The supply and price of fresh vegetables, fruits and other food commodities is subject to volatility due to growing seasons, crop failure and other factors beyond our
  control. We enter into agreements (which are specific as to price and quantity within a range and are cancelable by us and the supplier upon 60 or 90 days notice, depending on the term of the
  agreement and which contain Act of God or Force Majeure clauses) for supply at fixed prices to provide a limited amount of ability to maintain an adequate supply of raw materials, so that we
  may service our customers in the event of a market shortage. Our purchase agreements may cause our purchase costs to be higher than prevailing market conditions in the event of a low market with
  excessive supply. In contrast, our purchase agreements may cause our purchase costs to be lower than prevailing market conditions in the event of a high market with limited supply. There can be no
  assurance that our suppliers will be able to fulfill our contracts or will not invoke Force Majeure clauses in our agreements in the event of a limited supply market. We may also make purchase
  commitments for more product than we will require over a period of time, and may have to pay our suppliers for that product for which we have made a commitment, but that we do not require.
Packaging cost risk.Our packaging costs are subject to market risk due to the cost of petroleum products in plastics and the paper products in our corrugated boxes. Significant increases in
  petroleum and paper products could increase our packaging costs.
Fuel Cost.Our business is substantially dependent upon timely delivery of our products by our fleet of delivery equipment. Increases in fuel costs increased our delivery costs during 2006 and
  2007, and future material increases in fuel costs could put us at a competitive disadvantage to suppliers located closer to their customers. Our fuel purchases for use in our delivery equipment
  represent approximately 3 percent of our total cost of sales. An increase of $0.50 per gallon of fuel purchased would cause an increase in our total cost of sales of approximately $300,000 or 0.4% of
  net sales at our 2007 rate, annually. Increases in fuel costs included increased raw material costs for inbound freight, and our cost to deliver products to our customers. We endeavor to pass all
  increased raw material costs on to our customers, however we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to pass all increased costs on to our customers in the future, especially during short-
  term market fluctuations.

ITEM 8FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and StockholdersVAUGHANFOODS, INC.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Vaughan Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
  equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
  obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
  control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
  not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vaughan Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
  2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
  in the United States of America.

VAUGHAN FOODS, INC.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2007 and 2006
(1) Nature of Operations
Vaughan Foods, Inc. (the Company) is an Oklahoma-based specialty food processor serving customers in a multi-state region. The Company and its subsidiaries operate from manufacturing
  facilities in Moore, Oklahoma and Fort Worth, Texas.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Reporting
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Companys consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are
  representations of the Companys management which is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles
  generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of Cimarron Holdings, LLC (Cimarron). Cimarron is owned by our current chief operating officer and a former
  member of management. Cimarron previously owned an airplane that was used by Company management. The Company was making the debt service payments on the liability associated with the
  airplane, as well as all costs of maintenance and operations. Because the Company was the primary beneficiary of Cimarron, it was considered a variable interest entity subject to FIN 46R, and has
  been consolidated by the Company in its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Due to the sale of the
  airplane on December 3, 2007, the Company will no longer have a beneficial interest in Cimarron.
On June 30, 2007, the Company acquired 100 percent of Allisons Gourmet Kitchens, LP (Allisons) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wild About Food - Oklahoma, a Texas Limited Liability
  Company (Wild). The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 includes the accounts of Allisons and Wild. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and
  statements of cash flows include the accounts of Allisons and Wild for the period beginning July 1, 2007. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers investments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(d) Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies
Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 15 to 21 days from the invoice date. Receivables are recorded based on the
  amounts invoiced to customers. Interest and delinquency fees are not included in income or trade accounts receivable until realized in cash. Discounts allowed for early payment, if any, are charged
  against income when the payment is received. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customers remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the
  earliest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that reflects managements estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management provides for
28

VAUGHAN FOODS, INC.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsContinuedDecember 31, 2007 and 2006
probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance for credit losses based on historical collection trends and an assessment of the creditworthiness of current
  customers. The adequacy of the valuation allowance is evaluated periodically through an individual assessment of potential losses on customer accounts giving particular emphasis to accounts with
  invoices unpaid more than 60 days past the due date. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are charged off to the valuation allowance. Recoveries on
  accounts previously charged off are credited to the valuation allowance.
A lien exists on certain receivables related to fresh produce under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act of 1930, which partially subordinates the lien placed by the line of credit.
(e) Inventories
Inventories consist principally of food products and are stated at the lower of average cost (which approximates first-in, first-out) or market. Costs included in inventories consist of materials,
  certain prepaid expenses related to materials, packaging supplies, and labor. General and administrative costs are not charged to inventories.
(f) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Equipment classified as capital leases are recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, and amortized on a straight-line
  basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and
  repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
  accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other income and expense.
Depreciation, including assets classified as capital leases, are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Plant and improvements
    
    
    
    1540 yearsMachinery and equipment
    
    
    
    215 yearsTransportation equipment
    
    
    
    310 yearsOffice equipment
    
    
    
    2  7 years(g) Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company
  believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
(h) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue, net of related sales discounts and allowances, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (such as a customer purchase order), delivery has occurred,
  our price to the customer has been fixed or is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues also include those amounts related to shipping and handling. Shipping and handling
  expenses are also included in cost of sales. Consideration from the Company to a customer is presumed to be a reduction to the selling price of the Companys products and accordingly, is
  characterized as a reduction of sales when recognized in the Companys consolidated statements of operations. As a result, certain promotional expenses are recorded as a reduction of net sales, at
  the time in which the sale is recognized.
29

VAUGHAN FOODS, INC.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsContinuedDecember 31, 2007 and 2006
(i) Accounting for Rebates
The Company establishes liabilities for rebates to customers based on specific programs, expected usage and historical experience.
(j) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
  financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
  income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
  the period that includes the enactment date.
(k) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common
  stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include
  the number of incremental common shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options) were issued
  during the period. Diluted EPS is not presented if the effect of the incremental shares is anti-dilutive. The Company has previously agreed to issue shares of common stock in connection with its
  short-term borrowing when any initial public offering is consummated. The details of this agreement are described in Note 8. The Company has not included these shares in diluted earnings per share
  prior to issuance due to the Companys net loss for the periods. The effects of inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has Class A and Class B warrants outstanding resulting from its initial public offering as described in Note 13. The exercise price of both classes of
  warrants exceeds the Companys stock price, therefore the Company has not included these warrants as shares in diluted earnings per share because the effects of inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
(l) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
  assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
  revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. An estimate for the value of intangible assets related to customer relationships was calculated by
  discounting projected earnings to the date of acquisition and recognized to the extent of the contingent liability of the excess purchase price.
(m) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are measured at cost which approximates fair value because of the short-term nature
  of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Companys borrowings under the line of credit and long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rate on the instruments fluctuate with
  market interest rates or represents borrowing rates available with similar terms.
30

VAUGHAN FOODS, INC.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsContinuedDecember 31, 2007 and 2006
(n) Investments
All of the Companys investments are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value. Any related unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported net of income
  tax as a separate component of stockholders equity until realized. There were no unrealized gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Realized gains and losses on sales
  of securities are based on the specific identification method. Declines in the fair value of investment securities below their carrying value that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. As
  of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Companys investments consisted primarily of guaranteed investment contracts at a fixed interest rate of 2.25 percent.
(o) Classification of Consolidated Financial Statement Items
Certain maintenance and repair expenses related primarily to facilities have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales. The Company believes that the
  reclassification of these expenses in cost of sales better reflects the cost of manufacturing our products. The impact of this change in principle was an increase to cost of sales of $2.5 million in 2006
  and $2.2 million in 2005, and a corresponding decrease to selling, general and administrative expense in each period.
(p) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides companies an option to report selected financial assets
  and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 requires companies to provide information helping financial statement users to understand the effect of a companys choice to use fair value in determining
  its earnings, as well as to display the fair value of the assets and liabilities a company has chosen to use fair value for on the face of its balance sheet. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 establishes
  presentation and disclosure requirements designed to simplify comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement is
  effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has determined the effects of the adoption of this statement will not have an impact on
  its consolidated financial statements, because the Company has elected not to report any liabilities or assets at any value other than that achieved by historical cost, and that if the Company were to
  make such an election, the difference in values reported on the Companys consolidated financial statements would not provide more relevant and understandable information for the users of the
  Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS No. 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, which establishes principles and requirements for how an
  acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The
  statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years
  beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted, but the effect is not known and will vary depending
  on the nature of the acquisition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51, which establishes accounting and reporting
  standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a
31

VAUGHAN FOODS, INC.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsContinuedDecember 31, 2007 and 2006
parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide
  sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
  December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have an effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements due to the Companys existing subsidiaries being owned 100%. The
  effect of application of SFAS No. 160 on future acquisitions is not known and will vary depending on the nature of the acquistion.

  amounts represent raw materials that have yet to be harvested.
(4) Restricted Assets
The Company is required to hold cash in reserve in separate trust accounts applicable to its $5.0 million Cleveland County Industrial Authority Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, issued
  December 2004, and to secure a letter of credit for purposes of self insurance for workers compensation. The project construction account represents proceeds of the bond offering to be drawn for
  approved capital expenditures. The debt reserve account represents funds to be used for debt service in the event of default. The interest and principal accounts represent deposits to be used for debt
  service. The certificate of deposit secured the letter of credit for self insurance. These assets are as follows:

(6) Assets Held for Sale
At December 31, 2006, the Company held plant and improvements for sale with a net book value of $40,000, which it sold on on June 18, 2007, for net proceeds of $18,514, representing a loss
  on the sale of $21,486.
(7) Line of Credit
On December 31, 2007, the Company completed a $5.0 million secured bank line of credit, due on March 31, 2010, providing for interest at prime rate minus five-eights percent (0.625%),
  adjusted on date of change. The rate is also adjustable quarterly with respect to the Companys financial ratio of funded debt to EBITDA, as defined (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
  amortization). A change in the financial ratio will cause a variation in the adjustment to the prime (currently at 0.625%) in the range between 1.000% and 0.375%. The line of credit is secured by
  accounts receivable, inventory and general intangibles, and subject to a debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.25x to 1.0, as defined. The Company is limited by covenants of the line of credit
  regarding the sale or assignment of encumbered assets or any asset when done so outside the ordinary course of business. Short-term borrowings under this line of credit were $0 at December 31,
  2007. This line of credit replaces all previous lines of credit as previously held by the Company and its subsidiaries.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had a $4.0 million secured bank line of credit, due on October 31, 2006, providing for interest at Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.75 percent, with an
  initial rate of 6.75 percent. The line of credit was secured by accounts receivable, inventory and general intangibles. Short-term borrowings under this line of credit were $2,726,578 at December 31,
  2006. The Company repaid the line of credit on July 3, 2007 following the completion of its initial public offering.
(8) Short-term Borrowings
The Company entered into 10 percent secured subordinated promissory notes on July 17, 2006 for a maximum of $2.0 million. The notes are secured by the pledge by certain partners of 60
  percent of the limited partnership interests in Allisons. The entire principal amount of the notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2007 (the
  Maturity Date), or the third business day following the completion of an underwritten public

offering or a private placement by the Company resulting in gross proceeds of $5,000,000 or more (a Qualified Offering).
The notes are subordinate to all other existing indebtedness of the Company. Borrowings under these notes were $2.0 million at December 31, 2006. As additional consideration for their purchase
  of notes, each purchaser of $1.5 million principal amount of notes (First Notes) received that number of equity securities to be issued in any initial public offering consummated before June 30,
  2007, having a value, at the initial public offering price, of 50 percent of the notes purchased by that investor. Further, the holders of notes totaling $0.5 million which are junior to First Notes
  (Junior Notes received that number of equity securities to be issued having a value of 75 percent of the notes purchased by that investor. Proceeds of the note were used to complete construction
  of the addition to the existing facility.
The liability for additional compensation of $1,125,000 is shown as Bridge funding liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. In addition to the liability,
  an intangible asset related to the loan origination was recorded in the original amount of $1,125,000, net of amortization of $562,500 at December 31, 2006, in the accompanying balance sheet. At
  December 31, 2007, the carrying amount of this intangible asset was $0. The amortization of this intangible asset is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The
  number of shares issued using the offering price of $6.50 is 173,077. The Company repaid the notes and issued stock following the consummation of the initial public offering using a portion of the
  proceeds of the initial public offering.
The Company agreed to enter into a 10 percent non-secured promissory note on September 21, 2006 for a maximum of $1.0 million. The maturity date was the earlier of April 30, 2007, or the
  consummation of any initial public offering consummated before the maturity date. Borrowings under this note were $1.0 million at December 31, 2007. This note is payable to the lead underwriter
  for the Companys initial public offering (see Note 13). Following the completion of the initial public offering, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the note to the earlier of June 30,
  2008 or the closing of an equity financing in which the Company receives at least $4.0 million in gross proceeds. On January 24, 2008, the borrowings and accrued interest were repaid.

  consultant. The actual coverage ratio as of December 31, 2007 is 1.23x to 1.00.
Current Ratio: The Company is required to maintain a current ratio 1.10x to 1.00 calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter beginning after January 1, 2006. The actual current ratio

The Company has current liabilities in the amount of $221,370 and long-term liabilities in the amount of $250,000 which are related to contingent payments to former owners of Wild.
(12) Intangible Assets
Allisons holds an intangible asset, a customer list related to its acquistion by the Company in the amount of $154,210. The Company began amortizing the asset to expense over a period of five
  years beginning July 1, 2007, resulting in amortization expense of $15,423 and a net carrying amount at December 31, 2007 of $138,787. Allisons holds an intangible asset, a customer relationship with
  a certain customer of Wild. The value of the customer relationship is $576,134 net of amortization of $157,482 at December 31, 2007 (see Note 22). The Company amortizes the asset to expense over
  a period of five years. The amount of annual amortization expense related to the December 31, 2007 value of the customer relationship is $164,223. The earnings of Wild will cause an increase in the
  value, which will add additional amortization expense.
(13) Initial Public Offering
On July 3, 2007, the Company completed an initial public offering of its shares. The offering consisted of 2.15 million units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A
  warrant and one Class B warrant. The units were priced at $6.50 each in the offering.
Class A warrants entitle the holder to buy one common share at $9.75 a share. The Class B warrants entitle holders to buy one share at $13 a share.
The Class A and Class B warrants are exercisable at any time after they become separately tradable. The Company may redeem some or all of the warrants commencing six months after the
  initial public offering, after they become separately tradeable, at a price of $0.25 per warrant, on 30 days notice to the holders. At close of business on July 27, 2007, the units separated into common
  stock and warrants and the stock and each warrant commenced trading, individually, after that date, on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols: FOOD for the common stock, FOODW for the
  Class A warrants and FOODZ for the Class B warrants. The Units ceased to trade on that date.
36

VAUGHAN FOODS, INC.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsContinuedDecember 31, 2007 and 2006
The Company may redeem the Class B warrants only if its gross revenue, for any period of twelve months preceding the notice is equal to or greater than $100 million.
The Class A and Class B warrants expire on June 27, 2012.
A portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering were used to (a) acquire the partnership interests in Allisons for $1.5 million in cash and a deferred payment of $1.0 million (see Note
  21), (b) repay a short-term borrowing of $2.0 million which was used to complete the extension of our existing facility, and (c) repay our bank line of credit of $2.7 million. The remainder of the
  proceeds are being used to supplement our working capital for general corporate purposes and to construct or acquire one or more new facilities.

  realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon either the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or the carryback of
  losses to recover income taxes previously paid during the carryback period.
The Company is not currently subject to any specific audit by any federal, state or local taxing authority. There are no unrecognized tax benefits or tax positions previously taken which could
  give rise to uncertainty, and therefore there are no calculations or classifications of interest, penalties or effects on income tax rates related to such uncertainties. The Company has taken the position
  that the acquistion of Allisons is a non-taxable transaction.

(17) Major Customers

(21) Acquisition of Allisons
On June 30, 2007, the Company acquired (i) for nominal consideration, 60 percent of the limited partnership interests in Allisons from Mark Vaughan, our President and Chief Operating
  Officer, and Vernon J. Brandt, our former Vice PresidentOperations, (ii) the general partnership interest in Allisons from Braxton Management, Inc., in return for our agreement to indemnify it from
  all liability as the former general partner of Allisons, and (iii) for a total price of $2,500,000, the remaining 40 percent of the limited partnership interests in Allisons from Herbert Grimes, our
  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Stan Gustas, our former Chief Financial Officer and current Vice President of Finance.
We consummated these acquisitions pursuant to agreements dated April 20, 2007, as contemplated by the Prospectus for our initial public offering. Allisons was acquired to increase our
  productive capacity for refrigerated prepared salads, increase our utilization of refrigerated delivery capacity and broaden our product line.
The purchase price of the 40 percent minority interest in Allisons was $2.5 million. Of the total purchase price minority interests, $1.5 million was paid from the net proceeds of our initial public
  offering, which closed on July 3, 2007.
Mr. Grimes, through Braxton Management, Inc., owned 87.5 percent of such minority limited partnership interests and received $1,312,500 of such net proceeds. Mr. Gustas owned the remaining
  12.5 percent of such minority limited partnership interests and received $187,500 of such net proceeds. The $1.0 million balance of the purchase price for the 40 percent minority interests, which bears
  interest at 10 percent per annum, will be paid, $875,000 to Mr. Grimes and $125,000 to Mr. Gustas, upon the earlier of June 30, 2008, or the closing of an equity financing in which we raise at least
  $4.0 million in gross proceeds.
The terms of the acquisition of the limited partnership interests in Allisons were approved by our board of directors at the time we entered into the acquisition agreements. At that time, we
  lacked sufficient independent directors for majority approval by independent directors. The terms of the acquisition of the limited partnership interests in Allisons were at least as favorable to us as
  could have been obtained through arms length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.
The acquisition of Allisons was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, all assets and liabilities have been stated at their fair values at the date of the acquisition and are included in the
  accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Allisons is in the process of further evaluating the fair values of
  its assets and liabilities and, accordingly, the following allocation may be subject to further adjustment:

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership
  and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
  file. To the best of our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us or amendments thereto, or written representations that no other forms were required, we believe
  that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders were complied with during 2007, except that Gene P. Jones, Secretary,
  Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company made a late filing on Form 3, which is required to be filed within 10 days of becoming an officer. Mr. Jones became an officer of the Company
  on August 9, 2007, and the relevant Form 3 for Mr. Jones was filed on April 10, 2008. No transactions involving Mr. Jones were not reported nor were any transactions reported late. With respect to
  any of our former directors, officers, and ten percent (10%) stockholders, we do not have any knowledge of any other known failures to comply with the filing requirements of Section 16(a).
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics (as defined in Item 406 of Regulation S-K) that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller,
46

or persons performing similar functions. We have posted the text of our code of ethics on our website, www.vaughanfoods.com.

We have a separately-designated standing audit committee established by and among the Board of Directors for the purpose of overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and
  audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is comprised of Ms. Laura Pensiero, Mr. Robert Dillon and Mr. Richard Kassar. The Board has determined that Mr. Richard Kassar qualifies

    1,000,000Equity Incentive Plan
In August 2006, before our initial public offering, our stockholders approved and ratified a Vaughan Foods, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, the purpose of which is to attract and retain
  the personnel necessary for our success. No grants have been made pursuant to the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan gives our board of directors the ability to provide incentives through grants of
  incentive and non-qualified stock options to our employees, consultants and directors.
A total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the plan. If an award expires or terminates unexercised or is forfeited to us, the shares underlying the option
  award become available for further awards under the plan. As of the date of this prospectus, no awards have been made under the Plan.
The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to employees, directors and consultants whose performance will contribute to our long-term success and growth, to strengthen Vaughans ability
  to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants of high competence, to increase the identity of interests of such people with those of its stockholders and to help build loyalty to Vaughan
  through recognition and the opportunity for stock ownership. The Compensation Committee of the Board will administer the Plan and, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, will have complete
  authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards.
The following description of the Plan is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan.
Eligibility.Under the Plan, incentive stock options may be granted only to employees and non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants.
Term and Amendment of the Plan.Unless terminated earlier, the Plan and will expire in 2016. Our board may also amend the Plan, provided that no amendment will be effective without
  approval of our stockholders if shareholder approval is required to satisfy any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
Terms of Options.The Plan permits the granting of both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. Under the terms of the plan, the option price of both incentive stock options and
  non-qualified stock options must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of each option is ten years. For any participant who owns
  shares possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of Vaughans outstanding shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option must be at least equal to 110% of the fair
  market value of the shares subject to such option on the date of grant and the term of the option may not be longer than five years. Options become exercisable at such time or times as the
  Compensation Committee may determine at the time it grants options.
49

Federal Income Tax Consequences
Non-qualified Stock Options.The grant of non-qualified stock options will have no immediate tax consequences to the Company or the grantee. The exercise of a non-qualified stock option will
  require an employee to include in his gross income the amount by which the fair market value of the acquired shares on the exercise date (or the date on which any substantial risk of forfeiture
  lapses) exceeds the option price. Upon a subsequent sale or taxable exchange of the shares acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, an employee will recognize long or short-term
  capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the tax basis of such shares. Vaughan will be entitled (provided applicable withholding requirements are met)
  to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes at the same time and in the same amount as the employee is in receipt of income in connection with the exercise of a non-qualified stock option.
Incentive Stock Options.The grant of an incentive stock option will have no immediate tax consequences to Vaughan or its employee. If the employee exercises an incentive stock option and
  does not dispose of the acquired shares within two years after the grant of the incentive stock option nor within one year after the date of the transfer of such shares to him (a disqualifying
  disposition), he will realize no compensation income and any gain or loss that he realizes on a subsequent disposition of such shares will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss. For purposes
  of calculating the employees alternative minimum taxable income, however, the option will be taxed as if it were a non-qualified stock option.
There are no outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end related to the Equity Incentive Plan.

      laws, each of the persons named has sole voting and investment power with respect to50

the shares shown as beneficially owned. On April 21, 2008, 4,623,077 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding.(3)
    
    
    
    Millenco, L.L.C. is a beneficial owner of 531,000 shares of our common stock as reported on its Form SC 13D as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2007.ITEM 13CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
Set forth below are details of transactions during the year ended December 31, 2007, or currently proposed transactions, in which Vaughan Foods, Inc. was or is to be a participant, in which the
  amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which
  any director, executive officer, principal shareholder holding at least 5% of our common shares, or any family member thereof, had or will have any material interest, direct or indirect.
Immediately prior to the closing of our initial public offering, pursuant to amended agreements dated April, 2007, we acquired from Mark Vaughan our current Chief Operating Officer and
  Vernon J. Brandt, Jr., a former member of management, for nominal consideration, 60% of the limited partnership interest in Allisons Gourmet Kitchens, a limited partnership, and also acquired
  from Herbert Grimes our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Stan Gustas our current Vice President of Finance, the remaining 40% of the limited partnership interests and the
  general partnership interest in Allisons Gourmet Kitchens for a total price of $2,500,000. Mr. Grimes, through an affiliate, owns 87.5% of such minority interests and will be paid in total, $2,187,500.
  Mr. Gustas owns the remaining 12.5% and will be paid in total, $312,500. Of these amounts, we paid a total of $1,500,000 from the net proceeds of our initial public offering, $1,312,500 to Mr. Grimes
  and $187,500 to Mr. Gustas. Interest of 10% per annum on the remaining $1,000,000 is accruing, and we will pay the total remaining $1,000,000, $875,000 to Mr. Grimes and $125,000 to Mr. Gustas
  plus all accrued interest upon the earlier of June 30, 2008 or the closing, after completion of this offering, of an equity financing in which we raise at least $4,000,000 in gross proceeds.
The terms of the acquisition of the limited partnership interests in Allisons were approved by our board of directors. At the time it was approved, we lacked sufficient independent directors for
  majority approval by independent directors. The terms of acquisition of the limited liability partnership interests in Allisons are at least as favorable to Vaughan as could have been obtained through
  arms length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.
Mark Vaughan our current Chief Operating Officer and Vernon J. Brandt, Jr. a former member of management, each have a 50% ownership in Cimarron Holdings, L.L.C., which previously
  owned an airplane that was used by management of Vaughan to visit customers and suppliers for business purposes. Vaughan had not guaranteed the obligations of Cimarron, but was making the
  debt service payments for Cimarron, and all of the costs of maintenance and operation of the airplane. The airplane was sold on December 3, 2007.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
In order to formalize the process by which the Company reviews any transaction with a related person, the Board of Directors, at its March 13, 2008 meeting, adopted a policy addressing the
  Companys procedures with respect to the review, approval, and ratification of related person transactions that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 (a) of Regulation S-K. Under the
  policy, the Companys Chief Financial Officer initially determines if a transaction or relationship constitutes a transaction that requires compliance with the policy. The policy provides that any
  transaction, arrangement or relationship, or series of similar transactions, with any Director, executive officer, 5% beneficial owner, or any of the immediate family members (collectively, related
  persons) in which the Company has or will have a direct or indirect material interest and
51

which exceeds the lesser of one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, or $120,000 in the aggregate shall be subject to review, approval or
  ratification by the Audit Committee. In its review of related person transactions, the Audit Committee will review the material facts and circumstances of the transaction.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors is comprised of Herbert B. Grimes, Mark E. Vaughan, Robert S. Dillon, Richard A. Kassar and Laura J. Pensiero.
The Board has determined, in accordance with Nasdaqs listing standards, that: (i) Robert S. Dillon, Richard A. Kassar and Laura J. Pensiero (the Independent Directors) are independent and
  represent a majority of its members; (ii) Robert S. Dillon, Richard A. Kassar and Laura J. Pensiero, as the sole members of the Audit Committee, are independent for such purposes; and (iii) Robert
  S. Dillon, Richard A. Kassar and Laura J. Pensiero, as the sole members of the Compensation Committee, are independent for such purposes.
In determining director independence, our Board applies the independence standards set by Nasdaq. In its application of such standards the Board takes into consideration all transactions with
  Independent Directors and the impact of such transactions, if any, on any of the Independent Directors ability to continue to serve on our Board. To that end, for the fiscal year ended 2007, our
  Board considered the fees paid to the Independent Directors disclosed above in Item 10Executive CompensationDirector Compensation and determined that those transactions were within the
  limits of the independence standards set by Nasdaq and did not impact their ability to continue to serve as Independent Directors.
