Notes to the Interim condensed consolidated financial statements For the 13-Week Periods Ended March 31, and April 1, (Tabular amounts in millions of Canadian dollars except per share amounts and percentages) 1. Corporate information Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (the Company) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Through its subsidiaries, the Company owns a broad range of specialty food manufacturing and premium food distribution and wholesale businesses with operations across Canada and the United States. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company s business, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. In general, the first quarter is the Company s weakest, and the second and third quarters are its strongest. The Company s Board of Directors approved these interim condensed consolidated financial statements on May 14,. 2. Significant accounting policies Basis of presentation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the financial statement disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company s audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year December 30,, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS, are filed electronically through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) and are available at www.sedar.com. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as used in the Company s annual consolidated financial statements. New accounting standards (i) IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers In January, the Company adopted IFRS 15. The new revenue standard, IFRS 15, replaces IAS 18 - Revenue, IAS 11 - Construction Contracts and the related interpretations. This standard addresses revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity s contracts with customers. IFRS 15 requires that revenue is recognized at the transaction price when certain contractual obligations are met but with any variable consideration elements of the price recognized when it is highly probable that there will be no reversal of that revenue. The adoption of this standard had no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. (ii) IFRS 16 Leases In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases with a mandatory effective date of January 1, 2019. The new standard will replace IAS 17 Leases and will carry forward the accounting requirements for lessors. IFRS 16 provides a new framework for lessee accounting that requires substantially all assets obtained through operating leases to be capitalized and a related liability to be recorded. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 16 in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 has not yet been determined. However, given the quantity of operating leases the Company has entered into that will likely be captured under the new standard, it is expected to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheets. 1

Notes to the Interim condensed consolidated financial statements For the 13-Week Periods Ended March 31, and April 1, (Tabular amounts in millions of Canadian dollars except per share amounts and percentages) During the March 31, the Company also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Concord Premium Meats Ltd. (Concord), an Ontario based manufacturer of branded and customized protein solutions for retailers and foodservice customers across Canada. This transaction, which was subject to approval by the Competition Bureau of Canada (the Bureau), received a no-action letter from the Bureau on May 7, and is now expected to be completed at the end of May. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and consideration paid for acquisitions completed during the March 31, : Net assets acquired: Net working capital 10.9 Capital assets 15.1 Intangible assets brand names 12.6 Intangible assets customer relationships 0.8 Goodwill 24.3 Deferred income taxes (4.4) Investment: Cash (net of cash acquired) 33.5 Common shares issued 15.4 Funded debt assumed 2.4 Unsecured promissory note 6.2 Provision for contingent consideration 1.8 59.3 59.3 11. Financial instruments Foreign currency risk In order to reduce the risk associated with purchases denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, the Company, from time to time, enters into foreign currency contracts. The Company does not hold foreign currency contracts for speculative purposes. As at March 31,, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts for the purchase of US$28.5 million at a bl rate of C$1.2609 and the sale of US$40.3 million at a bl rate of C$1.2688 over the next twelve months. As at March 31,, these contracts had a fair value of $0.1 million ( $nil) and during the thirteen weeks March 31,, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million ( $nil) in its earnings. Based on the outstanding contracts as at March 31, for the net purchase of U.S. dollars, a change of $0.01 in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in an unrealized gain (if the U.S. dollar strengthens) or an unrealized loss (if the U.S. dollar weakens) of approximately $0.1 million in its earnings. Interest rate risk All of the Company s bank indebtedness and approximately 97% ( 96%) of its long-term debt bear interest at floating rates. The Company manages its interest rate exposure by using a variety of strategies, including entering into, from time to time, interest rate swap contracts. In August 2015, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts (the Swaps) fixing the rate of interest on $75.0 million of its long-term debt at an effective rate of 0.8865% plus 1.25% to 2.25%, depending on its ratio of debt to cash flow, until September. The Company designated the Swaps as a cash flow hedge and determined that the swaps had no ineffectiveness, and correspondingly, changes in their fair market value are recognized in other comprehensive income. As at March 31,, the Swaps had a fair market value of $0.5 million ( $nil), and during the thirteen weeks March 31, the Company recorded no gain or loss ( $nil) in other comprehensive income for them. As at March 31,, a change of 0.25 percentage points in the effective interest rate for the remaining term of the swaps would results in an unrealized gain (if interest rates increase) or an unrealized loss (if interest rates decrease) of approximately $0.2 million in its consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings. 5
Notes to the Interim condensed consolidated financial statements For the 13-Week Periods Ended March 31, and April 1, (Tabular amounts in millions of Canadian dollars except per share amounts and percentages) 12. Subsequent Events Acquisition Activities Subsequent to March 31,, the Company entered into the following transactions: (i) The Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and operating divisions of Oberto Sausage Company (Oberto), a Seattle based manufacturer of branded and customized beef jerky and other protein based snack foods for retailers in Canada and across the United States. The transaction, which is subject to approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act as well as customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed at the end of May. (ii) The Company acquired Penguin Meats Supply Ltd. (Penguin), a protein distributor to foodservice and retail customers across British Columbia. (iii) The Company increased its investment in Vancouver based McLean Meats Inc. to 66.2% from the previous 36.2%. The total expected investment associated with the purchase of the above three businesses is approximately $242.4 million. Financing Activities Subsequent to March 31,, the Company completed the following financing activities: (i) The issuance of $172.5 million of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (New Debentures) resulting in net proceeds of $164.9 million after underwriting fees of $6.9 million and transaction costs of approximately $0.7 million. The New Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 4.65% payable semi-annually, have a maturity date of April 30, 2025 and are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $185.51 per share. The net proceeds from the New Debentures will be used to reduce existing indebtedness under the Company s revolving credit facility, which, in turn, will be drawn on to fund: (i) the acquisition of Concord; (ii) the redemption of the Company s outstanding 5.00% debentures to the extend they are not converted to common shares; and (iii) future strategic acquisitions and capital projects as they may arise. (ii) The issuance of $172.7 million of subscription receipts (the Sub Receipts) at a price of $117.35 per Sub Receipt, which is expected to result in net proceeds of $164.9 million after underwriting fees of $6.9 million and transaction costs of $0.9 million. Each Sub Receipt represents the right of the holder to receive, upon closing of the Oberto acquisition, without payment of additional consideration, one common share of the Company. The release of the proceeds of the Sub Receipts offering is subject to completion of the Oberto acquisition and, correspondingly, in conjunction with a draw on the Company s revolving senior credit facility, will be used to fund the Oberto acquisition. (iii) The issuance of a notice of intention to redeem its 5.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures, $22.7 million of which were outstanding as at the end of the first quarter of. The 5.00% debentures mature in April 2020 and have a conversion price of $44.65 per share. Correspondingly, substantially all of the 5.00% debentures are expected to be converted to common shares. 6
