APPLE SUPPLY CHAIN CO-OP, INC.
                                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                 December 31, 2015 and 2014



               NOTE 4 – MEMBER NOTES RECEIVABLE

               During 2015, the Co-op’s Board of Directors authorized a Co-op Member Equipment Financing Program
               relative to a system wide rollout of wood assist broiler equipment.  The financing program provides that a
               member of the Co-op may elect to finance the purchase of the specified equipment under the terms of an
               Equipment Obligation Agreement.  The Co-op funds each participating member’s equipment purchases.
               The Co-op is repaid for the cost of the equipment plus interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.85%.  The cost of
               the financed equipment plus interest will be repaid to the Co-op via per case surcharge on all cases of
               products  purchased  through  a  distributor.    If  a  distributor  cannot  accommodate  the  surcharge,  the
               member must repay the Co-op via monthly Automated Clearing House payments.  Under terms of the
               Equipment Obligation Agreement, each member agrees to repay one half of its obligation to the Co-op by
               December 31, 2016 with the remaining balance due December 31, 2017.

               At December 31, 2015 notes receivable due from members under the financing program amounted to
               $825,475.    In  accordance  with  the  repayment  terms  $404,467  (net  of  loan  loss  reserve  of  $8,273)  is
               classified as current in the balance sheet.  Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was
               $10,697.


               NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT

               On December 11, 2015 the Co-op entered into a $4,400,000 multiple advance term loan credit agreement
               with its primary bank which expires on December 11, 2018.    Advances under the credit agreement will
               be used to fund the Co-op Member Equipment Financing Program mentioned in Note 4.  Outstanding
               borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.85%, paid monthly.  The principal of
               each advance under the credit agreement shall be repaid monthly over a twenty-four month period.  The
               credit agreement contains restrictive financial covenants related to tangible net worth and debt service
               coverage ratio.  At December 31, 2015 the Co-op was in compliance with these loan covenants.  The line
               of credit is secured by substantially all assets of the Co-op and is partially guaranteed by the franchisor.

               At  December  31,  2015  outstanding  borrowings  amounted  to  $1,500,000.    In  accordance  with  the
               repayment  terms  of  the  credit  agreement,  $750,000  was  classified  as  current  in  the  balance  sheet.
               Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1,988.
