CANANDAIGUA WINE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
February 28, 1994
1. Management 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 Wine
Company, Inc. and its consolidated 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 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 August 31, 1993.
2. 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. The percentage of inventories
valued using the LIFO method is 95%, 88%, and 96% at February 28,
1994, August 31, 1993, and February 28, 1993, respectively.
Replacement cost of the inventories determined on a FIFO basis

February 28, 1994, August 31, 1993, and February 28, 1993,
respectively. At February 28, 1994, August 31, 1993 and February
28, 1993, the net realizable value of the Company's inventories
was in excess of $226,837,816, $147,165,267, and $99,628,492,

4. Vintners Acquisition:
On October 15, 1993, the Company acquired substantially all
of the tangible and intangible assets of Vintners International
Company, Inc. ("Vintners") other than cash and the Hammondsport
Winery (the "Vintners Assets"), and assumed certain current
liabilities associated with the ongoing business (the "Vintners
Acquisition"), for an aggregate purchase price of $148.9 million
(the "Cash Consideration"), subject to adjustment based upon the
determination of the Final Net Current Asset Amount (as defined
below), and paid $8,961,000 of direct acquisition and financing
costs. In addition, at closing the Company delivered options (the
"Options") to Vintners and Household Commercial of California,
Inc., one of Vintners' lenders, to purchase an aggregate of
500,000 shares (the "Option Shares") of the Company's Class A
Common Stock, at an exercise price per share of $18.25, which are
exercisable at any time until October 15, 1996. These options
have been recorded at $8.42 per share, based upon an independent
appraisal and $4,210,000 has been reflected as a component of
additional paid-in-capital.
Vintners was the United States' fifth largest supplier of
wine with two of the country's most highly recognized brands,
Paul Masson and Taylor California Cellars. The wineries acquired
from Vintners are the Gonzales Winery in Gonzales, California and
the Paul Masson wineries in Madera and Soledad, California. In
addition, the Company is leasing from Vintners the Hammondsport
Winery in Hammondsport, New York. The lease is for a period of
18 months from the date of the Vintners Acquisition.
The Cash Consideration was funded by the Company pursuant to
(i) approximately $12.6 million of Revolving Loans under the
Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 below) of which $11.2
million funded the Cash Consideration and $1.4 million funded the
payment of direct acquisition costs; (ii) an accrued liability of
approximately $7.7 million for the holdback described below and
(iii) the $130.0 million Subordinated Bank Loan (as defined in
Note 5 below). See "Description of Long-Term Debt" under Note 5
below.
At closing the Company held back from the Cash Consideration
approximately 10% of the then estimated net current assets of
Vintners purchased by the Company, and deposited an additional
$2.8 million of the Cash Consideration into an escrow to be held
until October 15, 1995. If the amount of the net current assets
as determined after the closing (the "Final Net Current Asset
Amount") is greater than 90% and less than 100% of the amount of
net current assets estimated at closing (the "Estimated Net
Current Asset Amount"), then the Company shall pay into the
established escrow an amount equal to the Final Net Current Asset
Amount less 90% of the Estimated Net Current Asset Amount. If
the Final Net Current Asset Amount is greater than the Estimated
Net Current Asset Amount, then, in addition to the payment
described above, the Company shall pay an amount equal to such
excess, plus interest from the closing, to Vintners. If the
Final Net Current Asset Amount is less than 90% of the Estimated
Net Current Asset Amount, then the Company shall be paid such
deficiency out of the escrow account. As of February 28, 1994,
no adjustment to the established escrow was required and the
Final Net Current Asset Amount has not been determined.
The Vintners Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method; accordingly, the Vintners Assets were recorded at fair
market value at the date of acquisition. The fair market value
of the Vintners Assets approximated the aggregate purchase price.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
results of operations of Vintners since October 15, 1993.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of
operations as if the Vintners Acquisition occurred at the
beginning of the six months ended 2/28/94 and as if the
acquisitions of both Vintners and Barton Incorporated ("Barton")
occurred at the beginning of the six months ended 2/28/93, after
giving effect to certain adjustments for depreciation,
amortization of intangibles, interest expense on the acquisition
debt and related income tax effects. These pro forma results
have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not
purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the
acquisition been made at the beginning of fiscal 1994 and 1993,
respectively, or of results which may occur in the future.

Description of Long-Term Debt
Senior Credit Facility
On October 15, 1993 the Company amended the Senior Credit
Facility (the "Credit Facility") in connection with the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vintners.
The Credit Facility consists of: (i) a $50.0 million Term
Loan; (ii) Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount,
together with the aggregate amount of all undrawn or drawn
letters of credit ("Revolving Letters of Credit"), not to exceed
$95.0 million; and (iii) a standby irrevocable letter of credit
of $28.2 million. The Banks have been given security interests
in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries and each of the Company's principal operating
subsidiaries has guaranteed, jointly and severally, the Company's
obligations under the Credit Facility.
The Revolving Loans and the Term Loan, at the Company's
option, can be either a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan. A
Base Rate Loan bears interest at the rate per annum equal to (i)
the higher of (1) Federal Funds Rate for such day plus 1/2 of 1%,
or (2) the Chase Bank prime commercial lending rate, plus (ii)
0.375% (subject to adjustment). A Eurodollar Loan bears interest
at London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.625% (subject to
adjustment).
As of February 28, 1994, the Term Loan outstanding balance
was $48 million, which was a Eurodollar Loan that bears interest
at 5.13% per annum. As of February 28, 1994, $51.0 million was
outstanding under the Revolving Loans and $41.0 million was
available to be drawn down by the Company. The Revolving Loans
are required to be prepaid in such amounts that the aggregate
amount of Revolving Loans outstanding, together with the drawn
and undrawn Revolving Letters of Credit, will not exceed the
Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base means the sum of 70% of the
amount of certain eligible receivables plus 40% of the value of
certain eligible inventory. In addition, the Revolving Loans are
required to be prepaid in such amounts that, for a period of 30
consecutive days during the last two fiscal quarters of each
fiscal year, the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding,
together with drawn and undrawn Revolving Letters of Credit, will
not exceed $35.0 million. The Revolving Loans mature on June 15,
1999.
The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants
including those relating to additional liens, additional
indebtedness, the sale of assets, the payment of dividends,
transactions with affiliates, certain investments and certain
other fundamental changes and making capital expenditures that
exceed specified levels. The Company is also required to
maintain the following financial covenants above specified
levels: indebtedness to tangible net worth; tangible net worth;
fixed charges ratio; operating cash flow to interest expense; and
current ratio.
The Company is required to maintain in effect until June 29,
1995 interest rate swap, cap or collar agreements or other
similar arrangements (each, an "Interest Rate Protection
Agreement") which protect the Company against three-month London
Interbank Offered Rates exceeding 7.5% per annum in an amount at
least equal to $25.0 million.
Senior Subordinated Notes
The Company borrowed $130.0 million under a subordinated bank
loan agreement (the "Subordinated Bank Loan") provided in
connection with the Vintners Acquisition. On December 27, 1993,
the Company repaid the Subordinated Bank Loan from the proceeds
of an issuance of $130 million of senior subordinated notes ("the
Notes") together with borrowings under the revolving loans. The
Notes are due 2003 with a stated interest rate of 8.75% per
annum. Interest will be payable semi-annually on June 15 and
December 15 of each year. The Notes are redeemable at the option
of the Company, in whole or in part, on or after December 15,
1998. The Notes are unsecured and subordinated to the prior
payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the Company, which
includes the Credit Facility and, the Notes are guaranteed, on a
senior subordinated basis, by substantially all of the Company's
operating subsidiaries.
The indenture relating to the Notes contains certain
covenants, including, but not limited to, (i) limitation on
indebtedness; (ii) limitation on restricted payments; (iii)
limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on
senior subordinated indebtedness; (v) limitation on liens; (vi)
limitation on sale of assets; (vii) limitation on issuance of
guarantees of and pledges for indebtedness; (viii) restriction on
transfer of assets; (ix) limitation on subsidiary capital stock;
(x) limitation on the creation of any restriction on the ability
of the Company's subsidiaries to make distributions and other
payments; and (xi) restrictions on mergers, consolidations and
the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to another person. The limitation on indebtedness
covenant is governed by a rolling four quarter fixed charge
coverage ratio covenant requiring a specified minimum.
Convertible Subordinated Debentures
On October 18, 1993, the Company called its 7% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") for redemption on
November 19, 1993 at a redemption price of 102.1% plus accrued
interest. During the period September 1, 1993 through November
19, 1993, Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of
$58,960,000 were converted to 3,235,882 shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock at a price of $18.22 per share. Debentures
in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $63,000 were
redeemed. Interest was accrued on the Debentures until the date
of conversion but was forfeited by the debentureholders upon
conversion. Accrued interest in an amount of approximately
$1,370,000 was recorded as an addition to additional paid-in-
capital.
At the redemption date, the capitalized debenture issuance
costs of approximately $2,246,000 net of accumulated amortization
of approximately $677,000 were recorded as a reduction of
additional paid-in-capital.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
In connection with the Vintners Acquisition, the Company has
assumed Vintners' purchase and crush contracts with certain
growers and suppliers. Under the grape purchase contracts, the
Company is committed to purchase all grape production yielded
from a specified number of acres for a period of time ranging up
to five years. The actual tonnage of grapes that must be
purchased by the Company will vary each year depending on certain
factors, including weather, time of harvest, and the agricultural
practices and location of the growers and suppliers under
contract.
The grapes purchased under these contracts are generally
priced at market value as determined by either the prior year's
(or an average of the three most recent prior years) Grape Crop
Report issued by the California Department of Food and
Agriculture or on prices as reported by the Federal State Market
News Service. Some contracts include a minimum base price per
ton that the Company must pay. The Company purchased $8,464,000
of grapes under these contracts during the period October 15,
1993 through February 28, 1994. Based on current and anticipated
future yields and prices, the Company estimates that purchases in
the following amounts will be required under these contracts
during the subsequent four fiscal years:
Year 1995 $26,648,000
Year 1996 $18,179,000
Year 1997 $5,665,000
Year 1998 $1,895,000
For contracts extending beyond 1998, it is not feasible to
estimate the amounts to be paid. However, none of the contracts
with terms extending beyond 1998 are at prices in excess of
market value, as defined above, and all of the contracts
extending beyond 1998 are for quantities and varieties less than
the anticipated future requirements of the business.
The Company has assumed Vintners' grape crush contract
obligations with another winery under which the Company is
obligated to pay $600,000 for crushing and processing of a
specified tonnage at a fixed price per ton during fiscal 1995.
The Company has also assumed the lease obligations of
Vintners, including the lease obligation with the owner of
certain warehouse facilities no longer used by the Company.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's lease obligation
is reduced by the amount of rentals received from a new lessee of
the facilities. The Company has accrued the estimated lease
obligations in excess of the amount of rentals to be received
from the new lessee.
At February 28, 1994, aggregate minimum rental commitments
under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements assumed
from Vintners for the remainder of fiscal 1994 and thereafter are
as follows:
Remainder of 1994 373,640
Year 1995 132,300
Year 1996 89,498
Year 1997 77,518
Year 1998 75,505
Thereafter 75,505
7. Subsequent Event - Agreement to Import Mexican Beers
On March 31, 1994, Barton Beers, Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new agreement under
which it will continue importing, marketing and distributing
Corona Extra, Corona Light, Coronita, Negra Modelo, Modelo
Especial and Pacifico Beers in the twenty-five primarily western
states of the United States. The agreement is retroactive to
January 1, 1994 and continues through December 31, 1998. The new
agreement contains substantially similar provisions as the
previous agreement, including certain performance criteria.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations of the Company
The Company has realized significant growth in sales and
profitability over the last two fiscal years primarily as a
result of acquisitions. The Company acquired substantially all
of the assets of Guild Wineries and Distilleries on October 1,
1991, all of the outstanding capital stock of Barton Incorporated
("Barton") on June 29, 1993 ("Barton Acquisition") and
substantially all of the assets of Vintners International
Company, Inc. ("Vintners") on October 15, 1993 ("Vintners
Acquisition"). Management expects the Barton Acquisition and
Vintners Acquisition to have a substantial impact on future
results of the Company's operations. The Company's results of
operations for the quarter ended February 28, 1994 include the
results of operations of Barton and Vintners for the complete
period. The Company's results of operations for the six months
ended February 28, 1994 include the results of operations of
Barton for the complete period and include the results of the
operations of Vintners' assets from October 15, 1993, the date of
the Vintners Acquisition.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated,
certain items in the Company's consolidated statements of income
expressed as percentage of net sales:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended

Three Months Ended February 28, 1994 ("Second Quarter 1994")
Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 1993 ("Second Quarter

Net Sales
Net sales for the Company's Second Quarter 1994 increased to
$140 million from $58.8 million for Second Quarter 1993, an
increase of $81.2 million, or approximately 138%. This increase
resulted from the inclusion of $ 52.4 million of Barton's net
sales and $31.4 million of net sales of Vintners' products during
Second Quarter 1994. Excluding the impact of the Barton and
Vintners Acquisitions, the Company's net sales decreased $2.6
million, or 4.4%, when compared to the same period a year ago.
This was principally due to a decrease in net sales of the
Company's non-branded products, specifically grape juice
concentrate.
Wine
For purposes of computing the comparative data for the
Company's branded wine products set forth below, sales in the
Second Quarter of 1994 of branded wine products acquired from
Vintners have been compared with sales of Vintners' branded wine
products during Second Quarter 1993 prior to the Vintners
Acquisition.
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's branded wine
products each declined 6.0% as compared to the same period a year
ago. These decreases were principally a result of a decline in
net sales and unit volume of branded wine products acquired from
Vintners.
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's varietal table
wine brands for Second Quarter 1994 decreased 6.3% and 0.2%,
respectively, resulting primarily from decreases in sales of
varietal table wine brands acquired from Vintners, which were
offset, in part, by increased sales of the Company's varietal
table wine brands, exclusive of varietal table wine brands
acquired from Vintners. Net sales and unit volume of the
Company's generic table wine brands for the same period were
down 5.2% and 4.8%, respectively, principally due to lower sales
of generic table wine brands acquired from Vintners, which were
also offset, in part, by increased sales of the Company's generic
table wine brands, exclusive of generic table wine brands
acquired from Vintners. Net sales and unit volume of sparkling
wine brands decreased 9.0% and 7.9%, respectively, due to a
general decline in most of the Company's sparkling wine brands.
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's dessert wine brands
were down 4.6% and 8.3%, respectively, in Second Quarter 1994
versus the same period a year ago. The Company's net sales and
unit volume of dessert wine brands have declined over the last
three years. These declines can be attributed to a general
decline in dessert wine consumption in the United States.
The Company believes that the net sales and unit volume
declines on brands acquired from Vintners reflect the effects of
non-competitive pricing on certain brands which occurred prior to
the Vintners Acquisition. The Company has implemented strategies
to address this area which the Company believes has negatively
impacted the operating results for brands acquired from Vintners.
Imported Beer
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's beer brands for
Second Quarter 1994 increased by 11.8% and 12.7%, respectively,
when compared to Barton's net sales and unit volume for the same
period a year ago. These increases resulted primarily from
increased sales of the Company's Corona Extra brand and other
Mexican beer brands, and increased sales of its St. Pauli Girl
brand.
On March 31, 1994, Barton Beers, Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new agreement under
which it will continue importing, marketing and distributing
Corona Extra, Corona Light, Coronita, Negra Modelo, Modelo
Especial and Pacifico Beers in the twenty-five primarily western
states in the United States. The new agreement has a term of
five years, ending December 31, 1998, and contains substantially
similar provisions as the previous agreement, including certain
performance criteria.
Spirits
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's spirits case goods
for Second Quarter 1994 were up 1.5% and up 0.6%, respectively,
as compared to Barton's net sales and unit volume for the same
period a year ago. This increase in net sales was primarily due
to higher net sales of the Company's blended whiskeys, tequila
and Scotch whisky, which was offset in large part by decreased
net sales of the Company's liqueur, vodka and bourbon brands.
On February 4, 1994, the Company paid $5.1 million to Hiram
Walker & Sons, Inc. ("Hiram") for the extension of licenses to
use the brand names Ten High Bourbon Whiskey, Lauder's Scotch
Whisky, Northern Light Blended Canadian Whisky, Imperial Blended
Whiskey, Crystal Palace Vodka and Gin and certain other spirits
brands, for varying periods, the longest of which terminates in
2116. The Company also entered into extensions of certain whisky
supply arrangements with affiliates of Hiram in connection with
the extension of such licenses.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to $41.7 million in Second Quarter
1994 from $17.7 million in Second Quarter 1993, an increase of
$24.0 million, or approximately 136%. This increase in gross
profit resulted from the inclusion of Barton's and Vintners'
operations into those of the Company. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 29.8% in Second Quarter 1994
from 30.1% in Second Quarter 1993. The Company's gross margin
decreased primarily as a result of the inclusion of Barton's
operations into those of the Company, which was partially offset
by higher gross margins associated with the Company's operation
of the Vintners' assets.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$28.0 million in Second Quarter 1994 from $11.4 million in Second
Quarter 1993, an increase of $16.6 million, or approximately
145%. This increase resulted from the inclusion of Barton's and
Vintners' selling, general and administrative expenses into the
Company's and higher advertising and promotional spending on
brands of the Company owned prior to the Barton and Vintners
Acquisitions.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased to $4.5 million in Second
Quarter 1994 from $1.5 million in Second Quarter 1993, an
increase of $3.0 million. This increase principally resulted
from financing activities related to the Vintners Acquisition and
Barton Acquisition.
Net Income
Net income increased to $5.7 million in Second Quarter 1994
from $3.0 million in Second Quarter 1993, an increase of $2.8
million, or 94.0%. This increase resulted primarily from the
inclusion of the operations of Barton and Vintners into those of
the Company.
Six Months Ended February 28, 1994 ("First Half of Fiscal 1994")
Compared to Six Months Ended February 28, 1993 ("First Half of
Fiscal 1993")
Net Sales
Net sales for the First Half of Fiscal 1994 increased to
$294.5 million from $129.9 million for the First Half of Fiscal
1993, an increase of $164.6 million, or approximately 127%.
This increase resulted from the inclusion of $118.7 million of
Barton's net sales during the First Half of Fiscal 1994 and $53.5
million of net sales of Vintners' products from October 15, 1993,
the date of the Vintners Acquisition. Excluding the impact of
the Barton and Vintners Acquisitions, the Company's net sales
decreased $7.6 million, or 5.9%, when compared to the same period
a year ago. This was principally due to a decrease in net sales
of the Company's non-branded products, specifically grape juice
concentrate, and to lower sales of the Company's dessert wines.
Wine
For purposes of computing the comparative data for the
Company's branded wine products set forth below, sales of branded
wine products acquired from Vintners have been included in the
First Half of 1994 from October 15, 1993 (the date of the
Vintners Acquisition) through February 28, 1994, and included for
the same period during the First Half of 1993 prior to the
Vintners Acquisition.
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's branded wine
products for the First Half of Fiscal 1994 declined 6.2% and
7.8%, respectively, as compared to the same period a year ago.
Net sales of the Company's branded products declined less than
unit volume due to higher prices of certain brands and a
favorable change in product mix. These decreases were due to
lower sales of branded wine products acquired from Vintners and,
to a lesser extent, to lower sales of the Company's branded
wine products, exclusive of branded wine products acquired from
Vintners.
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's varietal table
wine brands for the First Half of Fiscal 1994 increased 3.7% and
8.8%, respectively, reflecting increases in substantially all of
the Company's varietal table wine brands exclusive of varietal
table wine brands acquired from Vintners which declined
significantly. Net sales and unit volume of the Company's
generic table wine brands for the same period were down 8.0% and
7.6%, respectively, principally due to lower sales of generic
table wine brands acquired from Vintners. Net sales and unit
volume of sparkling wine brands decreased 1.8% and 3.3%,
respectively, principally due to lower sales of sparkling wine
brands acquired from Vintners. Excluding sales of sparkling wine
brands acquired from Vintners, the Company's sales of sparkling
wine brands were up slightly while unit volume was down slightly.
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's dessert wine brands
were down 13.3% and 15.6%, respectively, in First Half of Fiscal
1994 versus the same period a year ago. The Company's net sales
and unit volume of dessert wine brands have declined over the
last three years. These declines can be attributed to a general
decline in dessert wine consumption in the United States. During
the First Half of Fiscal 1994, net sales of branded dessert wines
constituted less than 12% of the Company's overall net sales.
Imported Beer
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's beer brands for
the First Half of Fiscal 1994 increased by 11.6% and 13.0%,
respectively, when compared to Barton's net sales and unit volume
for the same period a year ago, which was prior to the Barton
Acquisition. These increases resulted primarily from increased
sales of the Company's Corona Extra brand and other Mexican beer
brands, and increased sales of its St. Pauli Girl brand. The
Company's new agreement to distribute Corona Extra and its other
Mexican beer brands expires in December 1998. (See discussion
under Imported Beer -- Second Quarter 1994 compared to Second
Quarter 1993.)
Spirits
Net sales and unit volume of the Company's spirits case goods
for the First Half of Fiscal 1994 were down 1.4 % and up
slightly, respectively, as compared to Barton's net sales and
unit volume for the same period a year ago. This decrease in net
sales was primarily due to lower net sales of the Company's aged
whiskey (i.e., bourbon and Scotch brands), which was offset in
large part by increased net sales of the Company's liqueur and
blended whiskey brands. The Company also had increased net sales
of its tequila and rum brands.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to $86.3 million in the First Half of
Fiscal 1994 from $39.2 million in the First Half of Fiscal 1993,
an increase of $47.1 million, or approximately 120%. This
increase in gross profit resulted from the inclusion of Barton's
and Vintners' operations into the Company's. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 29.3% in the First Half of
Fiscal 1994 from 30.2% in the First Half of Fiscal 1993. The
Company's gross margin decreased primarily as a result of the
inclusion of Barton's and Vintners' operations into the Company.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$59.7 million in the First Half of Fiscal 1994 from $25.7 million
in the First Half of Fiscal 1993, an increase of $33.9 million,
or approximately 132%. This increase resulted from the inclusion
of Barton's and Vintners' selling, general and administrative
expenses into the Company's and higher advertising and
promotional spending on brands of the Company owned prior to the
Barton and Vintners Acquisitions.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased to $8.3 million in the First
Half of Fiscal 1994 from $2.9 million in the First Half of Fiscal
1993, an increase of $5.4 million. This increase principally
resulted from financing activities related to the Vintners
Acquisition and Barton Acquisition.
Net Income
Net income increased to $11.4 million in the First Half of
Fiscal 1994 from $6.6 million in the First Half of Fiscal 1993,
an increase of $4.8 million, or approximately 74%. This increase
resulted primarily from the inclusion of the operations of Barton
and Vintners into those of the Company.
Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal use of cash in its operating
activities is for purchasing and carrying inventory of raw
materials and finished goods. The Company's primary source of
liquidity has historically been cash flow from operations, except
during the annual fall grape harvest when the Company has relied
on short-term borrowings. The annual grape crush normally begins
in August and runs through November. 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 operations to repay its short-
term borrowings. The Company believes that as a result of the
Vintners Acquisition, and to a lesser extent, the Barton
Acquisition, it will have increased short-term borrowing needs.
A description of the Company's credit facility and other
indebtedness is provided in Note 5 to the Company's financial
statements in Part 1 of this report.
Working Capital Requirements
As of February 28, 1994 the Company's Current Assets and
Liabilities increased from August 31, 1993 due in large part to
the Vintners Acquisition. Net of the effect of the Vintners
Acquisition, but including changes since the date of that
Acquisition, current assets decreased principally as a result of
normal seasonal sales trends resulting in lower accounts
receivable and inventory levels. Current Liabilities similarly
decreased due primarily to a decrease in accounts payable
associated with the grape harvest offset by increased short-term
borrowings to partially fund those payments. As of February 28,
1994, $51 million was outstanding under the revolving loans under
the Company's credit facility and $41 million was available to be
drawn down by the Company.
As part of the consideration for Barton, the Company agreed
to make payments to the former stockholders of Barton ("Barton
Stockholders") of up to an aggregate of $57.3 million which are
payable to the Barton Stockholders over a three-year period upon
the satisfaction of certain performance goals. The first payment
of $4.0 million was paid to the Barton Stockholders on December
31, 1993. The remaining payments are as follows: (i) up to
$28.3 million is to be made on December 30, 1994; (ii) up to
$10.0 million is to be made on November 30, 1995; and (iii) up to
$15.0 million is to be made on November 29, 1996. With respect
to the performance goals for the December 30, 1994 payment,
Barton has satisfied some but not all of the goals. If Barton
satisfies the remaining goals the entire $28.3 million will be
due the Barton Stockholders on December 30, 1994. Such payment
obligations are secured in part by a $28.2 million letter of
credit issued under the Company's credit facility and are subject
to acceleration in certain events.
As part of the acquisition of Vintners, the Company held back
from the Cash Consideration approximately 10% of the then
estimated net current assets of Vintners purchased by the
Company. Final determination of the net current asset amount is
expected to occur prior to the end of the Company's 1994 fiscal
year. If the finally determined net current asset amount exceeds
the closing estimate, $8.4 million plus such excess will be paid
by the Company. If the finally determined net current asset
amount is less than the closing estimate, $8.4 million minus the
deficiency will be paid by the Company. See Note 5 to the
Company's financial statements in Part 1 of this report. The
Company expects that the amount to be paid will not exceed $7.7
million. Such amount will be deposited into an escrow account
established to reimburse the Company for any indemnification
claims arising out of the Vintners Acquisition. As of February
28, 1994, no adjustment to the established escrow was required
and the Final Net Current Asset Amount has not been determined.
On February 4, 1994, the Company paid $5.1 million to Hiram
Walker & Sons, Inc. for the extension of licenses to use the
brand names Ten High Bourbon Whiskey, Lauder's Scotch Whisky,
Northern Light Blended Canadian Whisky and certain other spirits
brands, for varying periods, the longest of which terminates in
2116. This payment was funded from cash flows from operations.
Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during
fiscal 1994 are not expected to vary materially from amounts
expended in fiscal 1993.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations will
provide sufficient funds to meet all of its anticipated short and
long-term debt service obligations and the major cash
requirements described above. The Company is not aware of any
potential impairment to its liquidity and believes that the
revolving loans available under its credit facility and cash flow
from operations will provide adequate resources to satisfy its
working capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next four fiscal quarters.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended February 28, 1994, the Company
completed the acquisition of Vintners. The cash portion of the
purchase price was funded by revolving loans associated with the
1993 harvest and a $130 million subordinated bank loan (the
"Subordinated Bank Loan"). On December 27, 1993, the public
offering and sale of the Company's 8.75% Senior Subordinated
Notes (the "Notes") was completed, the proceeds of which,
together with additional borrowings under the Company's credit
facility, were used to repay in full the Subordinated Bank Loan.
A description of the Notes is set forth in Note 5 to the
Company's financial statements in Part 1 of this report. Such
description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete text of the Indenture covering the Notes, a copy of
which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, the Company called its 7% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures Due 2011 for redemption on November 19,
1993. Prior to such redemption substantially all of the
convertible debentures were converted into shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
At the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on
January 20, 1994 (the "Annual Meeting"), the holders of the
Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Stock"), voting as a
separate class, elected management's slate of director nominees
designated to be elected by the holders of the Class A Stock and
the holders of the Company's Class B Convertible Common Stock
(the "Class B Stock"), voting as a separate class, elected
