<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="color: black">This document contains, or incorporates
by reference, </FONT>forward-looking statements under Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such
as &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;continue,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;expected,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate,&rdquo;
&ldquo;believe,&rdquo; &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo; &ldquo;can,&rdquo; &ldquo;positioned,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo;
&ldquo;future,&rdquo; &ldquo;look forward&rdquo; and similar expressions, or the negative of those expressions, may identify forward-looking

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