Plan Administrator
United Natural Foods, Inc. Retirement Plan:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the United Natural Foods, Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2009 and July 31, 2009, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the transition period from August 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and the year ended July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and July 31, 2009, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the transition period from August 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and the year ended July 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4a - Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions for the transition period from August 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2009 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

UNITED NATURAL FOODS, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN
 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and July 31, 2009

 
(1)  
Plan Description
 
The following description of the United Natural Foods, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document, including the adoption agreement, for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
 
(a)
General
 
The Plan is a defined contribution plan providing retirement benefits for all eligible employees of United Natural Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Plan Administrator”).  Substantially all employees who have completed six months of service are eligible to join the Plan on the first day of each month.  The Plan initially became effective on October 1, 1989, and the adoption agreement was recently amended, effective December 31, 2009, to change the Plan’s fiscal year end from July 31 to December 31, as discussed in further detail below.
 
The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
 
(b)
Change in Plan Fiscal Year
 
Effective December 31, 2009, the fiscal year end for the Plan was changed from July 31 to December 31.  The change in fiscal year end was enacted primarily to align the Plan’s fiscal year with the calculations related to Internal Revenue Service limitations on benefits and contributions. As a result of the change in the Plan’s fiscal year end, financial statements for the five-month transition period ended December 31, 2009 have been presented.
 
 
(c)
Contributions
 
Each year, participants may contribute up to 60% of their eligible pretax compensation, as defined by the Plan, subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
The Company may elect to make discretionary matching contributions to the Plan. During the five-month transition period ended December 31, 2009 and year ended July 31, 2009, the Company matched 50% of the first 8% of eligible compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan.  These matching contributions totaled $1,258,167 and $2,899,943 in the five-month transition period ending December 31, 2009 and year ending July 31, 2009, respectively.  In May 2010, the Company made a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution ("QNEC") of $26,265 to self-correct an operational failure for the Plan pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2008-50.  Certain employees did not have their deferral elections processed as directed and did not receive related employer matching funds.  Other employees erroneously failed only to receive the employer match.  The Company also made related market value adjustments to the accounts of the affected participants to provide for lost earnings on the QNEC funds.  This QNEC has been recorded as an employer contribution and receivable as of December 31, 2009.
 
 
(d)
Participant Accounts
 
The Plan’s record keeper maintains an account in the name of each participant to which each participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions for such participant, and the participant’s share of the net earnings, losses and expenses, if any, of the various investments are recorded.  Allocations are generally based on eligible participant account balances.  The earnings on the assets held in each of the investments and all proceeds from the sale of such assets are held and reinvested in the respective investments.
 

 
4

 

Participants may rollover contributions of before-tax dollars from a prior employer’s eligible retirement plan, as defined in the Plan, or an Individual Retirement Account, into their Plan accounts.  Rollovers must be made within the time limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
 
(e)
Vesting
 
Participants are immediately fully vested in their contributions transferred from previous employers’ plans, employee pretax contributions, qualified nonelective contributions and any earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s contribution portion of a participant’s account (whether through matching or nonelective contributions) plus any earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. Generally, a participant is 100% vested in such contributions after four years of credited service, with 25% vesting each year.  Participants earn one year of service for each twelve months of service completed with the Company.
 
 
(f)
Participant Loans
 
Participants (other than eligible employees who have made rollover contributions to the Plan but are not yet active participants) may borrow from their investment accounts.  Loans are secured by the vested portion of a participant’s account balance, with a $1,000 minimum principal amount for each loan and a maximum principal amount that cannot exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance. The loans have a maximum term of five years (except for loans used to purchase principal residences), but become immediately payable upon death, termination, or disability.  The loans bear interest at rates that range from 3.25% to 10.5%, which were commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan Administrator at the date of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through automatic payroll deductions.
 
 
(g)
Distribution of Benefits
 
Participants (or, in the event of a participant’s death, their beneficiary) may request a distribution of all or part of the value in their accounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan upon retirement, termination of service, disability, or death. In addition, participants who have attained age 59 ½ may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their vested accounts while they are still employed by the Company.  Participants with account balances greater than $1,000 may defer receipt of their distributions until they are required by law to receive minimum required distributions.
 
Benefit payments may be made in a lump-sum distribution or in installments. The participant or beneficiary is entitled to select the manner in which benefit payments are received subject to the terms of the Plan. If the participant’s vested account balance is $1,000 or less, payment must be made in a lump-sum distribution.
 
Withdrawals for financial hardship are permitted provided they are for a severe and immediate financial need, and that the participant has exhausted all other assets reasonably available to him, including obtaining a loan from the Plan and any other qualified plan maintained by the Company, prior to obtaining the hardship withdrawal.
 
 
(h)
Forfeited Amounts
 
At December 31, 2009 and July 31, 2009, the balance of forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $25,044 and $53,008, respectively. These account balances are used to reduce future employer contributions. During the five-month transition period ended December 31, 2009 and year ended July 31, 2009, respectively, forfeited amounts totaling $99,931 and $54,434 were used to reduce employer contributions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
(a)
Basis of Accounting
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
 
 
(b)
Payments of Benefits
 
Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
 
(c)
Valuation of Investments
 
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies and United Natural Foods, Inc. Common Stock are valued at quoted market prices in active markets.  Common Collective Trusts are valued at the sum of the fair value of the investment “wrapper” and the underlying assets of commingled funds as reported by Fidelity Management Trust Company.  Money market funds are valued at cost which approximates fair value.  See Note 4 for further discussion of the methods used to determine the fair value of investments held by the Plan.
 
Certain investment options offered by the Plan, the Fidelity Advisor Stable Value Portfolio and Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio, are common collective trusts that are invested in contracts deemed to be fully benefit-responsive within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 962-325, Defined Contribution Pension Plans – Investments (Other) (“ASC 962-325”). ASC 962-325 provides a definition of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and guidance on financial statement presentation and disclosure of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. It also requires that these investments be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measure to the Plan because it is the amount that is available for Plan benefits. Accordingly, investments as reflected in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits state the Fidelity Advisor Stable Value Portfolio and Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio at fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value.
 
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes both realized and unrealized gains and losses.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
 
(d)
Valuation of Participant Loans
 
Participant loans are recorded at amortized cost.
 
 
(e)
Administrative Expenses
 
Administrative expenses as reported on the financial statements include various fees charged to participants for transactions. All other administrative expenses, including legal and audit fees, are paid by the Company.
 
 
(f)
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
 
(g)
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Plan invests in various types of investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

(4)  
Fair Value Measurements
 
Effective August 1, 2008, the Plan adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”).  ASC 820 introduces a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as, “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”  Its objective is to provide a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on exit price and emphasizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs.  ASC 820 places a higher priority on the use of observable inputs over unobservable inputs.  A fair value hierarchy based on inputs was developed to categorize assets into three levels:
 
Level 1:  Assets that have observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (NYSE, NASDAQ or the Chicago Board of Trade).  Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity.
 

 
7

 

Level 2:  Assets that have inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset.  Inputs are observable but do not solely rely on quoted market prices to establish fair value.
 
Level 3:  Assets with unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
 
A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.  There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2009 compared to July 31, 2009.
 
Mutual Funds
 
Mutual funds within the Plan classified as Level 1 assets are valued at the published closing price in active markets (NYSE, NASDAQ or the Chicago Board of Trade).
 
Common Stock
 
UNFI Common Stock is valued at the closing price reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and therefore presented as a Level 1 asset.
 
Common Collective Trusts
 
The guaranteed investment contracts (or “GIC”) are comprised of wrapper contracts and underlying investments. The fair value of the wrapper contracts represents the difference between the replacement cost and actual cost of the contracts and is calculated using a discounted cash flow model which considers recent fee bids as determined by recognized dealers, an appropriate discount rate and the duration of the underlying portfolio securities. These inputs are considered unobservable inputs in that they reflect the Plan's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and therefore would be considered Level 3 assets. The Plan believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. The underlying assets are commingled funds which are valued using the Net Asset Value which is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market as defined above under “Mutual Funds”, and are therefore classified as Level 2 assets.  As the fair market value of the wrapper contracts represent an insignificant amount of the total value of the Common Collective Trusts, they have been shown combined as Level 2 assets.
 
Below are the Plan’s investments carried at fair value on a recurring basis classified by the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2009:

     
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3

(5)
Related Party Transactions
 
Certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies and common collective trusts managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”). Fidelity is the trustee and custodian as defined by the Plan. Activity involving these funds qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, at December 31, 2009 and July 31, 2009, the Plan held 333,178 and 336,511 shares of the Company’s $0.01 par value per share common stock, respectively.
 
(6)
Plan Termination
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
 
(7)
Income Tax Status
 
The Plan is a nonstandardized safe harbor prototype plan sponsored by Fidelity Management and Research Company. The Internal Revenue Service has issued an opinion letter dated March 31, 2008 to Fidelity Management and Research Company that the form of the Plan and underlying trust, as designed, are in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code) and therefore the Plan is exempt from income taxes.  Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the opinion letter, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operating in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
 
(8)
Plan Merger and Transfer of Plan Assets
 
On December 31, 2008, all participant accounts in the Millbrook Distribution Services, Inc. Retirement Plan were merged into the Plan. Balances of $23,161,300 were transferred into the Plan.
