INTRODUCTION
The following filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by
Borden, Inc. ("the Company") presents four separate financial statements:
Borden, Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements, Borden, Inc. and Affiliates
Combined Financial Statements, the Financial Statements of Wise Holdings, Inc.
("Wise Holdings") and Financial Statements of Borden Foods Holdings Corporation
("Foods Holdings"). The consolidated statements present the Company after the
effect of the sales of (i) the Company's former salty snacks business ("Wise")
to Wise Holdings and its subsidiaries and (ii) the Company's former domestic and
international foods business ("Foods") to Foods Holdings and its subsidiaries,
as explained in Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements.
The Company, Wise Holdings, and Foods Holdings are controlled by BW Holdings,
LLC ("BWHLLC"). The consolidated financial statements are those of the Company,
which is the SEC Registrant.
The Borden, Inc. and Affiliates ("the Combined Companies") combined financial
statements are included herein to present the Company on a combined historical
basis, including the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
Wise and Foods. The Combined Companies financial statements are included because
management of the Company continues to control significant financial and
managerial decisions with respect to Wise Holdings and Foods Holdings. In
accordance with rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the financial statements of Wise
Holdings and Foods Holdings are included in Part II of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q because Wise Holdings and Foods Holdings are guarantors of the
Company's credit facility and all of the Company's outstanding publicly held
debt. The Combined Companies financial statements do not reflect pushdown
accounting and therefore present financial information on a basis consistent
with that on which credit was originally extended to the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions except per share amounts and as otherwise indicated)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Borden, Inc. (the "Company") conducts operations in the following
businesses: adhesives and resins ("Chemical"), decorative products and
wallcoverings ("Decorative Products") and consumer adhesives and business
services ("Other"). Borden, Inc. and Affiliates (the "Combined Companies")
includes the financial condition and results of operations of the Company
with the financial condition and results of operations of the Company's
former international and domestic food operations ("Foods") and former
salty snacks business ("Wise"). As explained in Note 4, the Company has
signed a definitive agreement to sell its Decorative Products business and,
the Company completed the sale of its fresh dairy products business
("Dairy"). In addition, the Company sold its packaging and plastic films
business on October 11, 1996 and its European bakery business on December
18, 1996.
The Company's principal lines of business formerly included Foods and Wise.
Subsidiaries of BWHLLC, an affiliate of the Company's parent, together with
subsidiaries of Wise Holdings, Inc. ("Wise Holdings") and subsidiaries of
Borden Foods Holdings Corporation ("Foods Holdings,") purchased Wise and
Foods on July 2, 1996 and October 1, 1996, respectively. As a result of
these sales, Wise and Foods, as of their respective sale dates, are no
longer legally part of Borden, Inc. (the "Registrant") on a consolidated
basis. However, management of the Registrant continues to exercise
significant operating and financial control over Wise and Foods. In
addition, Wise Holdings and Foods Holdings provide financial guarantees to
obligations under the Company's credit facility and all of the Company's
outstanding publicly held debt. Because of the aforementioned control and
guarantees, the Company has included, supplementally in this filing, the
Combined Companies financial condition and results of operations and cash
flows. The Combined Companies present financial information on a basis
consistent with that upon which credit was originally extended to the
Company.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated and combined financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments,
which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of
the results for the interim periods. Results for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results for the full years.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD UNDER CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS - Because
management of the Company exercises significant control over Wise and
Foods, the assets and liabilities of Wise and Foods, as of their respective
sale dates, are classified as "sold under contractual arrangements" in the
consolidated financial statements. In addition, any future losses incurred
by Wise and Foods will be recorded in the consolidated financial statements
to the extent of the Company's net investment in Wise and Foods. At
September 30, 1997, the Company's net investment in Wise and Foods was $5.1
and $223.8, respectively.
The Combined Companies continue to report Wise and Foods at the Company's
historical values since they remain a member of the controlled group and
since in management's best estimate, future operating cash flows from Wise
and Foods are expected to exceed the historical carrying values of the
businesses.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS - The Financial Accounting Standards
Board has recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, and Statement 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. These statements will
affect the disclosure requirement for the 1998 annual financial statements.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect of these new statements.
20
<PAGE> 21
RECLASSIFICATION - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the 1997 presentation.
3. ASSET WRITE-DOWNS AND BUSINESS REALIGNMENT
In December 1996, management approved the closure of five domestic pasta
plants in 1997 in order to reduce its product line complexity and
manufacturing capacity. Accordingly, the Combined Company provided $27.8
million in 1996 to write down the facilities to their net realizable value.
Management anticipates certain additional costs to be incurred in 1997
related to these plant closures; such charges totaled $6.0 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997. By September 30, 1997,
operations at three of these operations had ceased, and the two other
facilities were sold.
In March 1997, Foods announced its intention to sell certain businesses
from its current portfolio, which are considered not to be aligned with its
"grain-based meal solution" strategy. Among the businesses to be sold are
milk powder, processed cheese, sweetened condensed milk and reconstituted
lemon juice. On October 8, 1997, Foods announced a definitive agreement to
sell its Cracker Jack candy popcorn business to the Frito-Lay Company, a
unit of PepsiCo. Management is currently evaluating final bids on the
remaining unaligned businesses. Management expects the proceeds from such
dispositions to exceed their carrying cost.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On November 6, 1997, the Company announced a definitive agreement for the
sale of its Decorative Products business to Blackstone Capital Partners III
Merchant Banking Fund, L.P. The transaction value is approximately $320
million, consisting of about $310 million in cash plus a retained equity
interest of 11 percent. The transaction is not expected to close until the
first quarter 1998 and the proceeds are expected to be used to finance
acquisitions and to invest in existing businesses. The Decorative Products
operations are a segment of the Company's business as defined in APB 30 and
as such the results of the Decorative Products operations have been
reclassified to discontinued operations. The anticipated gain on the sale
will be recorded in discontinued operations once the transaction is
completed. Net assets of $164.7 related to the discontinued operation have
been segregated in the September 30, 1997 balance sheets. This amount
consists of the assets and liabilities of the business to be sold.
On September 4, 1997, the Company completed the sale of Dairy to
Mid-America Dairymen, Inc. Proceeds consisted of $405.2 million in cash
which was used to pay down debt and to invest in existing businesses. The
after tax gain on the transaction of $154.4 million is recorded in
discontinued operations in the Company's statement of operations since
Dairy operations were a segment of the Company's business as defined in APB
30.
On October 1, 1996, the Company sold Foods to Foods Holdings and its
subsidiaries for $550.0 million less assets transferred and liabilities
assumed. The purchase price of the business was determined by an
independent valuation and subject to adjustment based on a valuation
associated with Foods management's intent to realign its then current
portfolio of businesses. Upon completion of this valuation in September
1997, additional proceeds of $20.0 million consisting of receivables from
the Company's parent previously held by Foods Holdings were transferred to
the Company. A loss on disposal of $330.7 ($263.5 pretax) was recorded as a
loss on discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements in
the third quarter of 1996.
Since Foods remains a member of the controlled group and because
management's best estimate of future operating cash flows from Foods is
expected to exceed the historical carrying value of the business, no loss
was incurred in the Combined Companies' financial statements, except for
tax costs of $9.2 million related to a $30.0 million adjustment to the
basis of certain intangibles as a result of the finalization of the
purchase price in September 1997.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS - The Company, like others in similar businesses, is
subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations. Although Company environmental policies and practices are
designed to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, future
developments and increasingly stringent regulation could require the
Company to make additional unforeseen environmental expenditures.
Environmental accruals are routinely reviewed on an interim basis as events
and developments warrant and are subjected to a comprehensive review
annually during the fiscal fourth quarter.
LEGAL MATTERS - The Company has recorded liabilities for environmental
remediation costs in amounts which it believes are probable and reasonably
estimable. Based on currently available information and analysis, the
Company believes that it is reasonably possible that costs associated with
such sites may exceed current reserves by amounts that may prove
insignificant or by amounts, in the aggregate, up to $30 million. During
the third quarter of 1997, the Company settled a lawsuit with Quaker Oats
Company ("Quaker") in connection with the 1994 sale to Quaker of the
Company's Brazilian pasta business. The settlement amount was fully
accrued. In addition, the Company may be held responsible for certain
environmental liabilities incurred at Borden Chemicals and plastics Limited
Partnership ("BCP") facilities, which were previously owned by the Company.
The Company has resolved litigation with the Internal Revenue Service on
proposed adjustments to the utilization of certain capital losses in the
Company's tax returns for the period 1989 to 1993. The Company has agreed
to the payment of certain taxes and interest, of approximately $100 million
resulting from the reduction of capital losses on such tax returns. The
settlement was fully accrued by the Company. The Company believes, based
upon the information it currently possesses, and taking into account its
established reserves for estimated liability and its insurance coverage,
that the ultimate outcome of the foregoing proceedings and actions is
unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or operating results.
22
<PAGE> 23
OTHER COMMITMENTS - BCP Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, is general partner of BCP and has certain fiduciary
responsibilities to BCP's unitholders. The company believes that such
responsibilities will not have a material adverse effect on its financial
statements.
6. EQUITY CHANGE
As of September 30, 1997 the Company reclassified its SFAS No. 87 minimum
pension liability of $97.7, net of tax, to prepaid pension cost as the fair
market value of the Plan assets exceed its accumulated benefit obligation.
The remainder of the change was the result of the recognition of an $11.5
(net of tax) curtailment and settlement charge related to the Dairy sale.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 decreased $223.4 million to $371.5 million. This 37.5%
decrease was mainly the result of businesses divested in the fourth quarter of
1996, which were included in the 1996 sales from continuing operations.
Excluding the effect of these divested businesses, consolidated sales increased
$19.4 million, a 5.5% increase. Operating income, excluding the effect of
businesses divested in 1996, increased $6.5 million or 28.0%.
Combined net sales from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 decreased $279.8 million to $844.0 million while operating
income increased $16.5 million to $51.2 million as a result of the above factors
and the improved operating results of Foods and Wise.
Chemical
- --------
Chemical sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased $22.3
million or 7.5%. The increase is driven primarily by a $14.6 million increase at
Forest Products and a $6.6 million increase at Foundry and Industrial Resins.
Forest Products sales reflect higher volume and a modest overall increase in
selling prices as a result of the partial pass through of higher raw material
costs. Forest Products volume benefited from plant additions and expansions
which were needed to support customer demands. The increase in Foundry and
Industrial Resins sales reflects modest improvements in both volume and pricing.
Operating income increased 1.3 % to $30.2 million for the third quarter of 1997.
The increase is attributable to the sales volume increases, offset by higher raw
material costs in the Forest Products business and higher selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Other
- -----
The Other sales growth of $1.5 million or 5.8% is attributable to increased
sales of consumer adhesives to mass merchants and major craft retailers coupled
with increased export sales.
Operating income in the Other businesses decreased $1.4 million from the prior
year as a result of higher administrative costs.
Businesses held for sale
- ------------------------
The $247.2 million sales decline and the $10.2 million decrease in operating
income in the businesses held for sale category reflect the divestitures of the
packaging and plastic films business and the European bakery business during the
fourth quarter of 1996.
Corporate
- ---------
Corporate net operating expense totaled $1.8 million as compared to $9.3 million
in the prior year's third quarter as result of charges incurred in 1996 for the
sale of the packaging and plastic films business.
Foods
- -----
As anticipated, third quarter Foods sales decreased 13.1% from the third quarter
of 1996 as a result of the continued rationalization of unprofitable volume
within the Italian Foods business and its exit from the private label pasta
business.
1997 third quarter operating income improved $18.9 million as compared to the
third quarter of 1996. The favorable quarterly results are primarily
attributable to improved business disciplines resulting in lower marketing costs
within Signature Flavors. In addition, strong branded pasta volume, net
realization improvements, and lower U.S. Pasta fixed manufacturing overhead
expense all contributed to the favorable third quarter results.
25
<PAGE> 26
Wise
- ----
The Wise sales growth of $4.1 million or 6.2% resulted from volume gains
generated by potato chip sales promotions and increased volume in Cheez Doodles
and tortilla chips.
Wise operating income increased $1.3 million from the prior year as a result of
increased sales volume in higher margin products and ongoing manufacturing cost
savings.
26
<PAGE> 27
CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 VERSUS NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Consolidated net sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 decreased $805.9 million to $1,120.3 million. This 41.8%
decrease was mainly the result of businesses divested in 1996, which were
included in the 1996 sales from continuing operations. Excluding the effect of
these divested businesses, consolidated sales increased $91.6 million, a 8.9%
increase. Operating income declined $80.1 million as a result of the gain on the
sale of an investment in a Spanish food company during 1996.
Combined net sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 decreased $786.4 million to $2,581.9 million while operating
income decreased $51.7 million to $105.3 million as a result of the above
factors and the operating results of Foods and Wise.
Chemical
- --------
Chemical sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $98.5
million or 11.4%. The increase is driven primarily by a $65.0 million increase
in Forest Products, a $21.5 million increase in Foundry and Industrial Resins
and a $9.1 million increase in Coatings and Graphics. The sales increases for
Forest Products, as well as Foundry and Industrial Resins reflect higher volume
and the partial pass through of higher raw material costs. The Forest Products
volume benefited from plant additions and expansions to support customer
demands. Increased Coatings and Graphics sales reflect a substantial increase in
volume of fiber optic coatings.
Operating income declined 3.2% to $95.2 million through the third quarter of
1997 despite the increase in volume. The decline reflects the inability to fully
pass through raw material cost increases and higher selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Other
- -----
The Other sales increase of $5.8 million or 8.2% is primarily attributable to
increased sales of consumer adhesives to office superstores, schools and home
center channels.
Operating income in the Other businesses decreased $5.4 million from the prior
year as a result of higher administrative costs and certain inventory
write-offs.
Businesses held for sale
- ------------------------
The $910.2 million sales decline and the $16.6 million decrease in operating
income in the businesses held for sale category reflect the divestitures of the
packaging and plastic films business and the European bakery business during the
fourth quarter of 1996.
Corporate
- ---------
Corporate net operating expenses of $20.7 million were flat compared to 1996,
considering 1996 included the gain on the sale of a Spanish food business,
offset by the loss on the sale of Wise.
Foods
- -----
As anticipated, 1997 Foods sales of $1,256.5 million were $120.0 million lower
than 1996 as the Italian Foods business continued to rationalize unprofitable
volume and exit the private label pasta business.
On a year to date basis Foods 1997 operating income continues to significantly
outpace 1996 operating income. The $45.4 million increase over the prior year is
primarily driven by improvements in the U.S. Pasta business, and the Signature
Flavors business. The U.S. Pasta improvement was the result of favorable
semolina and packaging costs, rationalization of unprofitable volume, marketing
lower distribution and advertising costs and reduced infrastructure. The
Signature Flavors increase is attributable to pricing action taken by Cracker
Jack, Cremora and Soups, partially offset by lower volume. In addition, trade
spending efficiency has been improved and business disciplines tightened
allowing for a reduction in marketing costs.
27
<PAGE> 28
Wise
- ----
The Wise sales decline of $4.6 million or 2.2% resulted from the continued
program to eliminate unprofitable promotional pricing. Increased volume in
Tortilla chips and Cheez Doodles help to mitigate the sales decline.
Wise operating income increased $5.7 million from the prior year as the result
of decreased marketing expenditures and ongoing manufacturing cost savings.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Consolidated non-operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997
decreased to $12.7 million from $31.3 million for the comparable period in 1996.
The $18.6 million improvement was caused primarily by the recognition in 1997 of
affiliated interest income from Foods related to the 1996 loan agreement between
the Company and Foods and a reduction in interest expense from lower average
debt levels.
Consolidated non-operating expense was $49.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. The decrease of $29.4 million from the 1996 total of $78.4
million was due mainly to the recognition of affiliated interest from the Foods
borrowings, and a reduction in interest expense as a result of lower average
debt levels.
Significantly lower consolidated income tax expense was incurred in the
consolidated nine months ended September 30, 1997 vs. 1996 primarily as a result
of lower earnings before taxes and a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax
rate in 1996 reflected the sale of Wise to an affiliate at a loss for which
there was no related tax benefit.
Combined non-operating expense for the three months and the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 decreased $11.6 million and $15.1 million, respectively,
versus the comparable periods in 1996. The improvement was primarily the result
of a reduction in interest expense from lower debt levels.
The decrease in the combined income tax expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 when compared to 1996 reflects lower earnings before taxes
partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. The higher effective tax rate
in 1997 is primarily the result of finalization of the foods purchase price
leading to a $30.0 million adjustment in the tax basis of certain intangible
assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Consolidated and combined operating activities used cash of $47.4 million and
$49.7 million in 1997, compared to $20.0 million and $17.9 million generated in
1996, respectively. Included in the 1997 use of cash is approximately $40
million outflow from the settlement of various litigation and approximately
23.0 million of payments for insurance related liabilities.
The Company has agreed to the payment of approximately $100 million relating to
certain taxes and interest reflecting the Company's reduction of claimed capital
losses in the Company's tax returns for 1989 to 1993. The Company paid $75
million in the fourth quarter of 1997. The balance is anticipated to be settled
in 1998. This was fully accrued by the Company in a prior year.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
The 1997 consolidated investing activities generated cash of $332.4 million
compared to $40.8 million used in 1996. The primary 1997 cash inflow is the
proceeds from the sale of the Dairy business. These inflows were partially
offset by $97.2 million in 1997 capital expenditures. The 1997 capital
expenditures were $80.7 million less than 1996 capital expenditures as a result
of the sale of businesses during the fourth quarter of 1996. The 1996 proceeds
from the sale of a business arose primarily from the sale of a Spanish food
company in 1996.
Combined investing activities for the first nine months of 1997 generated cash
of $304.9 million. The difference between Combined and Consolidated is the
inclusion of Foods and Wise capital expenditures for 1997. Because the foods and
salty snacks businesses are included in the 1997 combined financial statements,
the investments in these businesses are eliminated. Proceeds from the sale of
fixed assets include cash received from the sale of two pasta plants in the
third quarter.
The Company anticipates receiving a significant amount of proceeds from the sale
of unaligned foods businesses and the Decorative Products business in the fourth
quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998. Borden Foods announced its
intention to sell certain unaligned businesses including milk powder, processed
cheese, sweetened condensed milk and reconstituted lemon juice. On October 8,
1997 Borden Foods announced a definitive agreement to sell its Cracker Jack
candy popcorn business. In addition on November 6, 1997, the Company announced a
definitive agreement for the sale of the Decorative Products business for cash
proceeds of about $310 million.
On October 9, 1997 the Company and Borden Chemical agreed to acquire the stock
of Melamine Chemicals, Inc. in a cash tender offer for $20.50 per share,
totaling approximately $123 million, pursuant to a definitive merger agreement.
This merger is expected to close during the fourth quarter 1997.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
1997 financing activities used $319.3 million on a consolidated basis and
$313.8 million on a combined basis. Cash was used primarily to repay debt. Net
long-term debt repayments, including current portion of long-term debt, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $280.4 million. In addition, the
Company received $38.1 million of interest on a note receivable from the
Company's parent, funded by $38.1 million in common stock dividends. The
Company paid $55.3 million in preferred stock dividends.
In July 1997, the Company amended and restated its $1.2 billion credit facility.
The facility was restructured into a $950 million five year revolver (maturing
July 1, 2003) and a $50 million 364 day convertible revolver. Pricing under the
LIBOR based borrowing option was reduced from LIBOR plus 125 basis points to
LIBOR plus 60 basis points. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the
facility, previously 37.5 points, was reduced to 20 basis points for the five
year revolver and 10 basis points for the 364 day revolver. Pricing varies
based on a grid tied to the Combined Company's leverage at the end of each
fiscal quarter. The current borrowing rate is LIBOR plus 50 basis points. In
addition, certain covenants were changed to provide the Company with greater
flexibility to complete divestitures and acquisitions.

PART II
Item 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Litigation by the State of Ohio against the Company alleging antitrust
violations in connection with the sale of milk to schools were settled in
September 1997 by cash payment and a donation of product totaling a
DE MINIMIS amount. Federal Grand Jury investigations in Ohio and the Plains
states have closed with no actions taken. Private antitrust suits alleging price
fixing of wholesale/retail accounts in Florida and Virginia have been resolved
with the Florida case being dismissed by the court and the Virginia case being
settled for $100,000.
In November 1995, the Company was sued in U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York by the Quaker Oats Company in connection with the 1994 sale
to Quaker Oats of the Company's Brazilian pasta business. In July 1997, the case
was settled. The amount of the settlement was fully accrued in a prior year.
In November 1997, the Company resolved litigation with the Internal Revenue
Service over the utilization of certain capital losses in the Company's tax
returns for the period 1989 to 1993 by agreeing to the payment of certain taxes
and interest of approximately $100 million. This was fully accrued by the
Company in a prior year.
The Company believes, based upon the information it presently possesses, and
taking into account its established reserves for estimated liability and its
insurance coverage, that the ultimate outcome of the foregoing proceedings and
actions is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or operating results.

BORDEN FOODS HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ IN 000'S)
1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
In September 1994, Borden, Inc. ("Borden") entered into a merger
agreement providing for the acquisition of all of Borden's outstanding
common stock by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. ("KKR").
The acquisition was completed on March 14, 1995. Borden, a public
registrant as a result of public debt that was outstanding prior to the
acquisition, elected not to apply push down accounting in its
consolidated financial statements and as such, Borden's financial
statements (including Borden Foods through October 1, 1996) are
reported on Borden's historical cost basis. As discussed in the basis
of presentation, the accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on a purchase accounting basis from the date of KKR's
acquisition of Borden.
In 1996, Borden Foods Corporation ("BFC") was formed for the purposes
of acquiring and operating certain of Borden's food businesses
("Foods"). Borden Foods Holdings Corporation ("Foods Holdings"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Borden Foods Holdings, LLC (the "LLC"), owns
approximately 98% of BFC; the remaining interest in BFC is owned
directly by the LLC. The LLC is controlled by BWH, LLC. BFC Investments
L.P. (the "Investments LP"), which is owned 30% by the LLC and 70% by
BFC, was formed for the purposes of acquiring, holding and
sub-licensing certain trademarks associated with the operation of
Foods. In certain circumstances, allocation of income and gains may
differ from the ownership percentages indicated.
Effective October 1, 1996, Borden, in a taxable transaction, sold Foods
and certain trademarks to BFC and the Investments L.P., respectively,
for $550,000 less assets transferred plus liabilities assumed. In
connection with this sale, BFC issued long-term notes to Borden of
$166,990 (see Note 4). The purchase price was based on an independent
valuation of Foods. Upon completion of the valuation in September 1997,
an additional $20,000 of receivables held by BFC were transferred to
Borden. There was no change in the book basis of Foods' assets and
liabilities as of October 1, 1996 because the sale was between related
parties and Borden's principal stockholder will continue to control
BFC. There was a $30 million adjustment to the tax basis of certain
intangibles as a result of the finalization of the purchase price in
September 1997. Borden will continue to exercise significant financial
control over BFC. Holdings has fully and unconditionally guaranteed
obligations under Borden's Credit Facility and all of Borden's publicly
held debt on a pari passu basis.
BFC is a manufacturer and distributor of a variety of food products
worldwide, including pasta, milk powder, processed cheese, sweetened
condensed milk, concentrated lemon juice and bouillon. BFC's operations
include 32 production facilities, 13 of which are located in the United
States. The remaining facilities are located primarily in Europe and
Latin America.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments, which in the
opinion of management are necessary for the fair presentation of
operating results for the interim period. Results for the interim
period are subject to significant seasonal variations and are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
As a result of the financial guarantee and in accordance with
Regulation S-X rule 3-10, Borden is required to include in its filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission separate condensed
financial statements for Foods Holdings as if it were a registrant. The
accompanying condensed financial statements for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were prepared on a
purchase accounting basis which allocated approximately $750 million,
plus cash retained, less debt assumed, of the December 1994 KKR
purchase price to Foods Holdings. The purchase price was allocated to
tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Foods based on
independent appraisals and management estimates.
BFH5
<PAGE> 37
Prior to October 1, 1996, Foods was managed as a division of Borden.
Under this structure, Borden incurred various costs related to Foods
which included corporate and administrative expenses (see Note 4). The
allocation of these costs, as well as intercompany purchases and sales,
cash infusions and withdrawals and other transactions, were reflected
in an Owner's Investment account through September 30, 1996. In
connection with the formation of Foods Holdings and the October 1, 1996
sale, the net assets of Foods have been recapitalized to reflect the
resulting capital structure.
The condensed financial statements include the accounts of Foods
Holdings after elimination of material intercompany accounts and
transactions. Minority interest reflects the consolidation of
international operations in which BFC owns more than a 50% interest but
less than a 100% interest. The portion of BFC and the Investment LP
directly owned by the LLC is recorded in Shareholder's Investment in
Affiliate as of October 1, 1996.
The LLC sold equity interests to certain members of BFC's management
for $5,323, resulting in an ownership interest in the LLC of
approximately 2%.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The most significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements
are the accruals for trade promotions, unfavorable litigation and
general insurance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INCOME TAXES - Income taxes are accounted for using the liability
method in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Subsequent to October 1, 1996, Holdings is not included in the domestic
consolidated tax return for Borden and deferred income taxes are
recorded to recognize the future effects of temporary differences which
arise between financial statement assets and liabilities and their
bases for income tax reporting purposes. Prior to October 1, 1996, the
domestic operations of Foods were included in Borden's consolidated tax
return and, accordingly, income tax assets and liabilities were
included in an Owner's Investment account. Taxes related to foreign
operations have been provided for in accordance with SFAS No. 109.
Income tax benefits for the interim periods have been recorded in
accordance with APB No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," which
prescribes that each interim period is an integral part of the annual
period and that interim tax provisions be computed under the effective
rate approach.
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In June 1997, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 (FAS No. 130), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which requires adoption in periods beginning after December
15, 1997. The new statement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. Adoption of the new standard by
Holdings is expected in 1998.
In addition, in June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (FAS No.
131), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," which requires adoption in periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. The statement establishes standards for the way that
business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographical areas and major
customers. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
Statement.
BFH6
<PAGE> 38
4. RELATED PARTIES
BFC is engaged in various transactions with Borden and its affiliates
in the ordinary course of business. Subsequent to January 1, 1996, a
subsidiary of Borden has provided certain administrative services to
BFC at negotiated fees. These services include: processing of payroll
and active and retiree group insurance claims, administration of
workers compensation claims, and securing insurance coverage for
catastrophic claims. BFC reimburses the Borden subsidiary for payments
for general disbursements, and general and group insurance and
postemployment benefit claims. The amount owed by BFC for reimbursement
of payments and for services was $4,985 and $11,678 as of September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
BFC is generally self-insured for general insurance claims and
postemployment benefits other than pensions. The liabilities for these
obligations are included in Foods Holdings' financial statements. By
agreement, Borden has retained the obligation for active group
insurance claims incurred in 1996 and paid in 1997. On July 24, 1997,
BFC entered into an unsecured agreement with a third-party to finance
insurance premiums of $1,589. The agreement bears interest at a
fixed annual rate of 5.47% and requires monthly payments of principal
and interest through the maturity date of April 1, 1998. The interest
rate under these agreements was negotiated by Borden on behalf of the
affiliated companies.
Employee pension benefits are provided under the Borden domestic
pension plans to which BFC contributes. The U.S. employees participate
in the Borden retirement savings plan. Borden also provides certain
health and life insurance benefits for eligible employees. BFC has
recognized expenses associated with these benefits, certain of which
are determined and allocated by Borden's actuary. BFC has assumed an
actuarially-determined portion of Borden's U.S. net pension liability,
however this amount is considered to be an amount due to affiliate
since Borden retains the legal obligation for these benefits.
Subsequent to January 1, 1996, BFC has managed its own receipts,
disbursements and net cash position. Cash balances in international
businesses which are not repatriated to the U.S. can be loaned to other
Borden affiliates at a variable rate (currently LIBOR plus 0.75%) for
generally a 30 day period. Net lendings or borrowings by international
businesses subsequent to October 1, 1996 are included in amounts due
from or to affiliates. Net loans due to international affiliates were
$21,560 and $22,687 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.
During 1996, BFC entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement")
to borrow funds from Borden under a revolving loan facility and term
loans. The revolving loan facility, which terminates on December 31,
1997, provides for borrowings up to $100 million. Effective February 3,
1997, the interest rate on the revolving loan facility was changed such
that borrowings with three days notice and which are outstanding at
least 30 days will bear interest at a spread over LIBOR; currently
LIBOR plus 1.50%. Same day borrowings will bear interest at a spread
over prime; currently prime plus 0.50%. A commitment fee of 0.375% is
paid on the unused portion of the revolving loan facility. The
outstanding balance under the revolving loan facility was $45,200 and
$24,360 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
Commitment fees charged on the unused portion of the revolving facility
were $57 and $387 for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997, respectively.
The loan agreement contains certain restrictions on the activities of
BFC, including restrictions on liens, the incurrence of indebtedness,
mergers and consolidations, sales of assets, investments, payments of
dividends, changes in nature of business, prepayments of certain
indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures,
changes in control of BFC and the use of proceeds from asset sales.
As an affiliated guarantor, Foods Holdings' aggregate liability shall
not exceed the greater of its outstanding affiliated borrowings or 95%
of its adjusted net assets while Borden or any other obligated parties
have obligations outstanding. Borden's outstanding credit facility and
public borrowings amounted to approximately $642 million at September
30, 1997. In connection with this guarantee, Foods Holdings charges
Borden an annual fee of $1,050.
In connection with the October 1, 1996 transaction, BFC issued $166,990
in long-term notes to Borden at a fixed 12% interest rate due on
November 30, 1999. Effective January 1, 1997, the interest rate on the
long-term notes to Borden was changed to 10.25%.
BFH7
<PAGE> 39
Interest expense on the long-term notes was $4,278 and $12,834 for the
three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively. By agreement with Borden, interest charges and commitment
fees under the Loan Agreement were calculated as if the borrowings
under the Loan Agreement were outstanding as of January 1, 1996.
Amounts payable for such charges were $4,517 and $20,849 as of
September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
BFC performs certain administrative services on behalf of other Borden
affiliates. These services include sales administration, promotion,
purchasing, and research and development. BFC charged these affiliates
$1,328 and $1,543 for such services for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $4,820 and $5,981 for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
$825 and $1,261 were receivable at September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively. BFC also sells certain merchandise to Borden
affiliates, for which $1,693 and $12,984 were receivable at September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
Borden continues to provide executive, financial and strategic
management to BFC for which it charges a quarterly fee of $250.
5. ASSET WRITE-DOWNS AND BUSINESS REALIGNMENT
In December 1996, management approved the closure of five domestic
pasta plants in 1997 in order to reduce its product line complexity and
manufacturing capacity. Accordingly, $27,817 was provided in 1996 to
write down the facilities to their net realizable value. During the
three month period ended September 30, 1997 operations ceased at three
of these facilities. The remaining facilities were sold to a management
group that has continued operations. Management anticipates certain
additional costs to be incurred in 1997 related to these plant
closures; such charges totaled $2,614 and $5,959 for the three month
and nine month period ended September 30, 1997, respectively.
In March 1997, BFC announced its intention to sell certain businesses
from its current portfolio which are considered not to be aligned with
its "great tasting, wholesome, grain-based meal solution" strategy.
Among the businesses to be sold are milk powder, processed cheese,
sweetened condensed milk and reconstituted lemon juice. On October 8,
1997, BFC announced a definitive agreement for the sale of its Cracker
Jack candy coated popcorn business to Frito-Lay Company, a unit of
PepsiCo, Inc. Management is currently evaluating bids on the remaining
unaligned businesses and expects the proceeds from such dispositions to
exceed their current carrying cost.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In July 1995, a Fresno, California jury returned a verdict against BFC
for wrongful termination of a tomato packing agreement, for which $14.5
million was previously provided. In granting the award for lost profits
to Helm Tomatoes, Inc., the jury found that while the business had a
legal right to terminate the agreement, it was estopped from doing this
by an oral representation made by a former employee. BFC is contesting
the verdict.
BFC is involved in certain other legal proceedings arising through the
normal course of business. Other than that mentioned above, management
is of the opinion that the final outcomes of such proceedings should
not have a material impact on BFC's results of operations or financial
position.

WISE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except for per share information)
1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
Wise Holdings, Inc. ("Wise") is a leading producer and distributor of salty
snacks in the eastern United States. Wise's product line includes potato chips,
cheese flavored baked and fried corn snacks, pretzels, tortilla chips, corn
chips, onion rings, pork rinds and other assorted snacks. Wise markets its
products under the brand names of WISE(R), CHEEZ DOODLES(R), QUINLAN(R), NEW
YORK DELI(R), KRUNCHERS!(R), BRAVOS(R), MOORE'S(R) AND WISE CHOICE(TM) and
conducts its business through three principal divisions: Wise, Moore's and
Caribbean Snacks. The Wise and Moore's divisions manufacture and distribute
primarily in the eastern United States. Caribbean Snacks, located in Puerto
Rico, serves as a distribution center throughout Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
Wise's products are distributed through both independent and company-owned
distribution networks.
In September 1994, Borden, Inc. ("Borden") entered into a merger agreement,
culminating in December 1994, that provided for the acquisition of all of
Borden's outstanding common stock by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
("KKR"). Borden, a public registrant as a result of public debt that was
outstanding prior to the acquisition, elected not to apply push down accounting
in its consolidated financial statements and as such, Borden's financial
statements (including Wise) are reported on Borden's historical cost basis. As
discussed in the "Basis of Presentation," Wise's financial statements have been
prepared on a purchase accounting basis from the date of KKR's acquisition of
Borden. The effective date of the merger agreement was January 1, 1995 for
accounting and financial statement presentation purposes.
Effective July 2, 1996, in a taxable transaction (the "Incorporation"), Borden
sold its salty snacks business ("Wise operations") to BWHLLC, a KKR affiliate,
for $45 million. The purchase price was based on an independent valuation of the
business. There was no change in the financial reporting basis of the assets and
liabilities as of July 2, 1996 from that described below under "Basis of
Presentation" because Borden's principal stockholder continues to exercise
significant financial control over Wise. Wise will fully and unconditionally
guarantee obligations under Borden's credit facility and all of Borden's
publicly held debt on a pari passu basis. In connection with this guarantee,
Wise will receive an annual fee of $210.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments, which in the opinion of
management are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full years.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
As a result of the financial guarantee and in accordance with Regulation S-X
rule 3-10, Borden is required to include in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission separate financial statements for Wise as if it were a
registrant. The financial statements subsequent to the purchase by KKR have been
prepared on a purchase accounting basis which allocates approximately $51
million of the original KKR purchase price of Borden to the salty snacks
business. The purchase price has been allocated to tangible and intangible
assets and liabilities of Wise based on the fair values at the date of
acquisition.
Prior to the July 2, 1996 sale, Wise operated as a profit center of Borden.
Under this structure, Borden incurred various costs in connection with the
operation of Wise's business which included corporate controlled expenses, such
as accounting, legal, tax, credit and informational services departments and
executive management, which have been included in the consolidated financial
statements of Wise. Costs for these services have been allocated to Wise based
on usage of resources such as personnel and data processing equipment.
Management believes these amounts in the accompanying financial statements have
been allocated in a reasonable and consistent manner in order to depict balance
sheets, statements of operations and cash flows of Wise on a stand-alone basis.
Reclassification
- ----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
presentation.
<PAGE> 48
Income Taxes
- ------------
Wise accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which uses the liability
method to calculate deferred income taxes. Subsequent to July 2, 1996, deferred
income taxes are recorded to recognize the future effects of temporary
differences which arise between financial statement assets and liabilities and
their basis for income tax reporting purposes. Prior to July 2, 1996, Wise was
included in Borden's consolidated tax return, and accordingly, income tax
liabilities and assets determined on a separate return basis were included in
Owner's Investment.
Per Share Information
- ---------------------
Net income per common share at September 30, 1997 is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period ended September 30, 1997. Net income (loss) per common share at September
30, 1996 is computed assuming that the shares outstanding from July 2, 1996 to
December 31, 1996 were outstanding for the entire period ended September 30.
1996.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The
most significant estimates in Wise's financial statements are related to
allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for trade promotions, general and
group insurance, income taxes, post-retirement benefits, asset lives and
corporate allocations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Statements
- -------------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued two new accounting
standards, Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income and Statement No.
131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. These
statements may affect disclosure requirements for the 1998 annual financial
statements. Wise is currently evaluating the effects of these new statements.
3. AFFILIATED LONG-TERM DEBT
In conjunction with the Incorporation, Wise entered into a long-term loan
agreement (the "Loan Agreement") to borrow funds from Borden. The Loan Agreement
provides for a revolving loan facility of up to $10 million maturing in December
1997, at a variable interest rate equal to Borden's cost of similar borrowings
at 1/2% above a given bank's "base rate", and a $10.145 million term loan
maturing in 1999 with a fixed interest rate of 11% and 12% in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Effective February 3, 1997, an additional interest rate option was
added to the credit facility. Under this new option, borrowings with three days
notice and which are outstanding at least 30 days will bear interest at Borden's
cost of funds for similar borrowings plus .25%, currently LIBOR plus 1.50%. A
commitment fee of .375% is paid on the unused portion of the revolving loan.
Wise did not have any borrowings under the revolving agreement at September 30,
1997 or December 31, 1996. By agreement with Borden, interest charges and
commitment fees under the term loan were calculated as if the borrowings were
outstanding from January 1, 1996.
The Loan Agreement contains certain restrictions on the activities of Wise and
its subsidiaries, including restrictions on liens, the incurrence of
indebtedness, mergers and consolidations, sales of assets, investments, payment
of dividends, changes in nature of business, prepayments of certain
indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures, changes in
control of the Company and the use of proceeds from asset sales.
As an affiliate guarantor, Wise has guaranteed Borden's credit facility and all
of Borden's outstanding publicly held debt on a pari passu basis. Wise's
aggregate liability under this guarantee shall not exceed the greater of its
outstanding affiliated borrowings, or 95% of its adjusted net assets while
Borden or any other obligated parties have obligations outstanding.
<PAGE> 49
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Contingencies
- ---------------------------
Wise, like others in similar businesses, is subject to extensive Federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations. Although Wise's environmental
policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and
regulations, future developments and increasingly stringent regulation could
require Wise to make additional unforeseen environmental expenditures.
Environmental accruals are routinely reviewed on an interim basis as events and
developments warrant and are subject to an annual comprehensive review.
Litigation
- ----------
Wise is subject to various investigations, claims and legal proceedings covering
a wide range of matters in the ordinary course of its business activities. Each
of these matters are subject to various uncertainties and some of these matters
may be resolved unfavorably to Wise. Wise has established accruals for matters
that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that any
liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in
excess of amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial statements of Wise.
5. RELATED PARTIES
In addition to affiliated debt and lease agreements, Wise is engaged in various
transactions with Borden and its affiliated companies in the ordinary course of
business. A subsidiary of Borden provides certain administrative services to
Wise at negotiated fees. These services include: processing of payroll and
active and retiree group insurance claims, administration of workers'
compensation claims and securing insurance coverage for catastrophic claims.
Wise reimburses the Borden subsidiary for payments for general disbursements,
and general and group insurance and retirement benefit claims. The amount owed
by Wise for these services is included in affiliated payables and was $1,150 and
$703 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. Effective July
1, 1997, Wise secured the services of a third party for its general insurance
needs related to losses that occur after the effective date.
The following table summarizes the charges to Wise for these costs in the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1997 1996
Employee benefits $1,526 $1,188
Group and general insurance 3,629 3,994
Information services 156 --
Corporate staff departments and
overhead 1,402 1,258
---------------------
$6,713 $6,440
=====================
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wise is generally self-insured for post-employment benefits other than pensions.
In addition, Wise has insurance policies to cover potential losses and
liabilities relating to general insurance. Many of these policies have
deductibles of $100 and in some cases higher amounts. Losses are accrued for the
estimated aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial
assumptions followed in the insurance industry and Wise's experience. By
agreement, Borden has retained the obligation for active group insurance claims
incurred in 1996 and paid in 1997.
Wise also invests excess cash with Borden in one-day investments which totaled
$7,250 and $1,800 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
On July 14, 1997 and September 26, 1997, Wise entered into two unsecured
agreements with a third-party to finance insurance premiums of $532 and $210.
Both agreements bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.47% and require
monthly payments of principal and interest through the maturity date of April 1,
1998. The interest rates under these agreements were negotiated by Borden on
behalf of the affiliated companies.
6. BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On July 31 1997, for a purchase price of $1.9 million, Wise acquired certain
assets (accounted for under the purchase method) of Quality Foods of North
Carolina, an independent distributor of Wise products and other snack food
products throughout North and South Carolina. Wise will continue to use the
acquired assets for the purpose of distribution of snack foods.
