CANANDAIGUA BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1998
1) MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATIONS:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form
10-Q and reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial information for Canandaigua Brands, Inc. and its
subsidiaries. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been
condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 1998.
2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Certain May 1997 balances have been reclassified to conform with current
year presentation.
3) INVENTORIES:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (computed in accordance with
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods) or market.
Substantially all of the inventories are valued using the LIFO method. Elements
of cost include materials, labor and overhead and consist of the following:
May 31, February 28,
1998 1998
----------- ------------
(in thousands)
Raw materials and supplies $ 14,225 $ 14,439
Wine and distilled spirits in process 269,108 304,037
Finished case goods 96,102 92,948
--------- ---------
379,435 411,424
Less - LIFO reserve (16,520) (17,396)
--------- ---------
$ 362,915 $ 394,028
========= =========
Information related to the FIFO method of inventory valuation may be useful
in comparing operating results to those companies not using the LIFO method of
inventory valuation. If the FIFO method had been used, reported net income would
have been $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share on a diluted basis, lower for the
three months ended May 31, 1998, and reported net income would have been $1.4
million, or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis, higher for the three months
ended May 31, 1997.
- 5 -
4) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," (SFAS No. 128) effective February 28,
1998. Basic earnings per common share excludes the effect of common stock
equivalents and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
for Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock. Diluted earnings
per common share reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities
or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the exercise of stock options
using the treasury stock method and assumes the conversion of convertible
securities, if any, using the "if converted" method. Historical earnings per
common share have been restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as
follows:

5) RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN:
Effective March 1, 1998, the Company's existing retirement savings and
profit sharing retirement plans and the Barton profit sharing and 401(k) plan
were merged into the Canandaigua Brands, Inc. 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan
(the Plan). The Plan covers substantially all employees, excluding those
employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. The 401(k) portion of the
Plan permits eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation (as
defined in the Plan) on a pretax basis. Participants may defer up to 10% of
their compensation for the year, subject to limitations of the Plan. The Company
makes a matching contribution of 50% of the first 6% of compensation a
participant defers. The amount of the Company's contribution under the profit
sharing portion of the Plan is in such discretionary amount as the Board of
Directors may annually determine, subject to limitations of the Plan.
6) SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS:
The subsidiary guarantors are wholly owned and the guarantees are full,
unconditional, joint and several obligations of each of the subsidiary
guarantors. Summarized financial information for the subsidiary guarantors is
set forth below. Separate financial statements for the subsidiary guarantors of
- 6 -
the Company are not presented because the Company has determined that such
financial statements would not be material to investors. The subsidiary
guarantors comprise all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company,
other than the nonguarantor subsidiaries which individually, and in the
aggregate, are inconsequential. There are no restrictions on the ability of the
subsidiary guarantors to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash
dividends or loan repayments; however, except for limited amounts, the
subsidiary guarantors may not loan funds to the Company.
The following table presents summarized financial information for

7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

approval of the stockholders of the Company, an increase in the number of
authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to 120,000,000 shares and the
aggregate number of authorized shares of the Company to 141,000,000 shares.
STOCK REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION -
In June 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to $100,000,000 of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common
Stock. The Company may finance such purchases, which will become treasury
shares, through cash generated from operations or through the bank credit
agreement.
- 7 -
BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT -
In June 1998, the bank credit agreement was amended to, among other things,
eliminate the requirement that the Company reduce the outstanding balance of the
revolving loan facility to less than $60,000,000 for thirty consecutive days
during the six months ending each August 31.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
INTRODUCTION
- ------------
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors
affecting (i) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three
months ended May 31, 1998 ("First Quarter 1999"), compared to the three months
ended May 31, 1997 ("First Quarter 1998"), and (ii) financial liquidity and
capital resources for First Quarter 1999. This discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included herein and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998.
The Company is a leading producer and marketer of beverage alcohol brands.
The Company is principally a producer and supplier of wine and an importer and
producer of beer and distilled spirits in the United States. The Company's
beverage alcohol brands are marketed in three general categories: wine, beer and
distilled spirits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
FIRST QUARTER 1999 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1998
NET SALES
The following table sets forth the net sales (in thousands of dollars) and
unit volume (in thousands of cases), if applicable, for branded beverage alcohol
products and other products and services sold by the Company for First Quarter
1999 and First Quarter 1998.

(a) Other consists primarily of nonbranded concentrate sales, contract

- 8 -
Net sales for First Quarter 1999 increased to $312.9 million from $306.0
million for First Quarter 1998, an increase of $6.9 million, or 2.3%. This
increase resulted primarily from (i) $21.2 million of additional beer sales,
largely Mexican beers, and (ii) $1.5 million of additional spirits sales. These
increases were partially offset by (i) $9.1 million of lower nonbranded sales,
primarily grape juice concentrate sales, and (ii) $6.7 million of lower wine
sales, primarily the result of lower table wine volume. Unit volume for branded
beverage alcohol products for First Quarter 1999 increased 7.0% as compared to
First Quarter 1998. The unit volume increase was the result of the increased
sales of the Company's Mexican beer brands and its spirits brands. These
increases were partially offset by lower unit volume of the Company's wine
brands, primarily table wine. To address lower wine sales, the Company is
implementing various programs, such as addressing noncompetitive consumer prices
of its wine products on a market-by-market basis as well as increasing its
promotional activities where appropriate.
GROSS PROFIT
The Company's gross profit increased to $92.9 million for First Quarter
1999 from $80.7 million for First Quarter 1998, an increase of $12.2 million, or
15.1%. As a percent of net sales, gross profit increased to 29.7% for First
Quarter 1999 from 26.4% for First Quarter 1998. The dollar increase in gross
profit resulted primarily from cost structure improvements and higher average
selling prices related to branded wine sales, and additional beer unit volume,
partially offset by lower table wine unit volume and lower nonbranded unit
volume, primarily grape juice concentrate.
In general, the preferred method of accounting for inventory valuation is
the last-in, first-out method ("LIFO") because, in most circumstances, it
results in a better matching of costs and revenues. For comparison purposes to
companies using the first-in, first-out method of accounting for inventory
valuation ("FIFO") only, gross profit reflected an addition of $0.9 million and
a reduction of $2.4 million in First Quarter 1999 and First Quarter 1998,
respectively, due to the Company's LIFO accounting method.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $61.3 million for
First Quarter 1999 from $55.2 million for First Quarter 1998, an increase of
$6.1 million, or 11.1%. The dollar increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses resulted principally from higher advertising and
promotion costs associated with the increased unit volume of beer and spirits
products and the programs implemented to improve the Company's wine sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased
to 19.6% for First Quarter 1999 as compared to 18.0% for First Quarter 1998. The
increase in percent of net sales resulted from the programs implemented to
improve the Company's wine sales and from a change in the sales mix driven by an
increase in net sales of branded products (which have a higher percent of
marketing and selling costs relative to sales), and a decrease in net sales of
nonbranded products (which have relatively little associated marketing and
selling costs).
NET INCOME
As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $13.6 million for
First Quarter 1999 from $10.0 million for First Quarter 1998, an increase of
$3.6 million, or 35.5%.
For financial analysis purposes only, the Company's earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for First Quarter 1999
were $40.1 million, an increase of $5.8 million
- 9 -
over EBITDA of $34.3 million for First Quarter 1998. EBITDA should not be
construed as an alternative to operating income or net cash flow from operating
activities and should not be construed as an indication of operating performance
or as a measure of liquidity.
FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Company's principal use of cash in its operating activities is for
purchasing and carrying inventories. The Company's primary source of liquidity
has historically been cash flow from operations, except during the annual fall
grape harvests when the Company has relied on short-term borrowings. The annual
grape crush normally begins in August and runs through October. The Company
generally begins purchasing grapes in August with payments for such grapes
beginning to come due in September. The Company's short-term borrowings to
support such purchases generally reach their highest levels in November or
December. Historically, the Company has used cash flow from operating activities
to repay its short-term borrowings. The Company will continue to use its
short-term borrowings to support its working capital requirements. The Company
believes that cash provided by operating activities and its financing
activities, primarily short-term borrowings, will provide adequate resources to
satisfy its working capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure
requirements for both its short-term and long-term capital needs.
FIRST QUARTER 1999 CASH FLOWS
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by operating activities for First Quarter 1999 was $22.8
million, which resulted from $22.3 million in net income adjusted for noncash
items, plus $0.5 million representing the net change in operating assets and
liabilities. The net change in operating assets and liabilities resulted
primarily from a $31.1 million seasonal decrease in inventory levels, partially
offset by a $27.0 million increase in accounts receivable, principally the
result of increased beer sales.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in investing activities for First Quarter 1999 was $6.3
million, which resulted primarily from $5.6 million of capital expenditures,
including $2.7 million for vineyards.
Net cash used in financing activities for First Quarter 1999 was $16.9
million, which resulted primarily from net repayments of $11.9 million of
revolving loan borrowings under the Company's bank credit agreement plus
principal payments of $6.0 million of long-term debt.
During June 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $100.0 million of its Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock. The repurchase of shares of common stock will be accomplished,
from time to time, depending upon market conditions, through open market or
privately negotiated transactions. The Company may finance such repurchases
through cash generated from operations or through the bank credit agreement. The
Company is currently in the process of seeking an increase in its capacity under
the bank credit agreement in order to increase its flexibility to make such
repurchases. The repurchased shares will become treasury shares and may be used
for general corporate purposes. No shares have been repurchased as of June 22,
1998.
- 10 -
DEBT
Total debt outstanding as of May 31, 1998, amounted to $407.4 million, a
decrease of $17.8 million from February 28, 1998, resulting primarily from the
net repayments of revolving loan borrowings and principal payments of long-term
debt. The ratio of total debt to total capitalization decreased to 48.7% as of
May 31, 1998, from 50.6% as of February 28, 1998.
As of May 31, 1998, under its bank credit agreement, the Company had
outstanding term loans of $134.0 million bearing interest at 6.4%, $80.0 million
of revolving loans bearing interest at 6.3%, undrawn revolving letters of credit
of $3.4 million, and $101.6 million in revolving loans available to be drawn.
During June 1998, the bank credit agreement was amended to, among other things,
eliminate the requirement that the Company reduce the outstanding balance of the
revolving loan facility to less than $60,000,000 for thirty consecutive days
during the six months ending each August 31.
As of May 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding $195.0 million aggregate
