filing positions in all the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open
tax years in these jurisdictions. We recognize the income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than
not that, based on technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals
or litigation processes. We apply a more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions.
Accordingly, we recognize the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement.
Future changes in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions will affect earnings in the
quarter of such change. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained,
no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits can change due to
audit settlements, tax examination activities, statute expirations and the recognition and measurement criteria under accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes. Lifeway recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision

income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Act”) signed into law in December 2017. The amendments
in this Update provide guidance on accounting and disclosure for certain income tax effects of the Act which will be incomplete
at the time the financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date of December 2017. The

The new guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting

and classification in the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, excess tax benefits and deficiencies are no longer recognized

the presentation of deferred income taxes and requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation
allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Previous guidance required deferred tax assets and liabilities to
be separated into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. This guidance was effective on January 1, 2017. Lifeway
elected to adopt this guidance as of the first fiscal quarter in 2017 and has applied the update on a retrospective basis. Lifeway
changed its accounting principle to reduce the cost and complexity inherent in recording deferred taxes as current and noncurrent
on the consolidated balance sheets. As a result, Lifeway has reclassified $662 of current deferred tax assets to noncurrent deferred
tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.</font></p>

an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying

to renew and terminate leases. The amended guidance will require both operating and finance leases to be recognized in the balance
sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability)
and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early

the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including
most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which an entity will recognize
revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard allows for either “full retrospective”
adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning
the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced
disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. On
August 12, 2015 the FASB approved a one year delay of the effective date to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,
while permitting companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. In December 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies
narrow aspects of ASC 606 or corrects unintended application of the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for
ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. Under the delayed effective date,
we are required to adopt the new standard not later than January 1, 2018. We will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 on
a modified retrospective basis. Upon adoption, we expect the new standard will not have a material impact on our results of operations
or financial position.</font></p>

filing positions in all the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open

or litigation processes. We apply a more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions.
Accordingly, we recognize the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement.
Future changes in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions will affect earnings in the
quarter of such change. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained,
no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits can change due to
audit settlements, tax examination activities, statute expirations and the recognition and measurement criteria under accounting

most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which an entity will recognize
revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard allows for either “full retrospective”
adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning
the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced

for outstanding legal matters when we believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably
estimated. We evaluate, on a periodic basis, developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments
that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. If a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable,
we do not establish an accrued liability. Currently, none of our accruals for outstanding legal matters are material individually
or in the aggregate to our financial position and it is management’s opinion that the ultimate resolution of these outstanding
legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
However, if we ultimately are required to make payments in connection with an adverse outcome, it is possible that it could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.</font></p>

contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties, including for each such contingency the following, among other factors:
(i) the procedural status of the case; (ii) whether the case has or may be certified as a class action suit; (iii) the outcome
of preliminary motions; (iv) the impact of discovery; (v) whether there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved;
(vi) whether the proceedings involve a large number of parties and/or parties and claims in multiple jurisdictions or jurisdictions
in which the relevant laws are complex or unclear; (vii) the extent of potential damages, which are often unspecified or indeterminate;
and (viii) the status of settlement discussions, if any, and the settlement posture of the parties. Consequently, Lifeway cannot
predict with any reasonable certainty the timing or outcome of such contingencies, and we are unable to estimate a possible loss
or range of loss.</font></p>

2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act significantly changed U.S. income tax law
by, among other things, reducing the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, transitioning from a global tax system to a
modified territorial tax system, eliminating the domestic manufacturing deduction, reduction in the dividend received deduction,
and limiting the tax deductions for interest expense and certain executive compensation.</font></p>

for income taxes under the Act is not yet complete, we have made reasonable estimates of the provisions of the Act and recognized
a $378 discrete net tax benefit in our 2017 financial statements arising from revaluing our net deferred tax liabilities to reflect
the new tax rate. The final impact of the Act may differ from this estimate due to changes in interpretations of the Act, any
legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has
utilized to calculate the impacts. We anticipate that these estimates will be finalized with the filing of the 2017 income tax
return.</font></p>

primary product is drinkable kefir, a cultured dairy product. Lifeway Kefir is a tart and tangy cultured milk smoothie that is

active cultures and 15 to 20 billion beneficial CFU (Colony Forming Units) at the time of manufacture.</font></p>

As of December 31, 2017, Lifeway offered over 50 varieties of our kefir products including more than 20 flavors. In addition to
our core drinkable kefir products, we offer Kefir Cups, a strained, cupped version of our kefir; and Organic Farmer Cheese Cups,
a cupped version of our soft cheeses, both served in resealable 5 oz. containers with mini-spoons. We also offer Lifeway Elixir,
a line of non-dairy, sparkling organic probiotic beverages, as well as probiotic supplements for adults and children. In late
2017, we also announced that we would begin offering Skyr, a strained cupped Icelandic yogurt, and Plantiful, a plant-based probiotic
beverage made from organic and non-GMO pea protein with 10 vegan kefir cultures.</font></p>

24, 2015, Lifeway’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the “2015 stock repurchase program”)
under which we may, from time to time, repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed the
lesser of $3,500 or 250 shares. On November 1, 2017, the Board amended the 2015 stock repurchase program (the “2017 amendment”),
by adding to (i.e., exclusive of the shares previously authorized under the 2015 stock repurchase program) the authorization the
lesser of $5,185 or 625 shares. Under the amended authorization, share repurchases may be executed through various means, including
without limitation in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with all applicable securities laws
and regulations, including without limitation Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The extent to which
Lifeway repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions,
regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any shares,
and the program may be terminated, suspended, increased, or decreased by our Board in its discretion at any time.</font></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><font style="font-size: 8pt">In December 2015,
Lifeway stockholders approved the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 3.5 million shares
to satisfy awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance
shares and performance units. At December 31, 2017, 3.448 million shares remain available under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Lifeway
has not established a pace for the frequency of awards under the Omnibus plan, and may choose to suspend the issuance of new awards
in the future and may grant additional awards at any time including issuing special grants of restricted stock, restricted stock
units, and stock options to attract and retain new and existing executives.</font></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><font style="font-size: 8pt">Pursuant to the
Omnibus Incentive Plan, Lifeway granted 26 stock options to certain key employees effective January 1, 2016 and 24 stock options
on July 1, 2016 (the “2016 options”). The 2016 options generally vest over a three-year period, on a relatively accelerated
basis. The accelerated vesting reflects the landmark nature of the awards and the relative tenure of individual participants.</font></p>

earn cash and equity-based incentive compensation in amounts ranging from $0 to $4,000 for fiscal 2016 depending on the performance
levels compared to the respective targets. For the year ended December 31, 2016, senior executive participants earned bonuses

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><font style="font-size: 8pt">In January 2017,
Lifeway established an incentive-based compensation program (the “2017 Plan”) for certain senior executives and key
employees (the “participants”). The number of participants under the 2017 Plan was expanded from the 2016 Plan. Under
the 2017 Plan, incentive compensation was based on (a) the achievement of certain sales and adjusted EBITDA performance levels
versus respective targets in 2017, and (b) for certain senior executives, the achievement of individual performance objectives.
Under the 2017 Plan, collectively the participants had the opportunity to earn cash and equity-based incentive compensation in
amounts ranging from $0 to $11,025 depending on Lifeway’s performance levels compared to the respective targets and the
senior executive’s performance compared to their individual objectives. The equity portion of the incentive compensation
is payable in restricted stock that vests one-third in each of the three years from the 2017 grant dates.</font></p>
