NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices of the United States of America (“GAAP”), applied consistently with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Vermont Pure Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) for the year ended October 31, 2007.
	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
	The financial statements herewith reflect the consolidated operations and financial condition of Vermont Pure Holdings Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary Crystal Rock, LLC.
2.	RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which is fiscal 2010 for the Company.
	In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 amends SFAS 133 to require enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Enhanced disclosure requirements include: objectives and strategies for the use of a derivative instrument, the level of a company’s derivative activity, tabular presentation of fair value of derivatives

6

included on the balance sheet and amounts of gains and losses on derivatives reported in the income statement or other comprehensive income, and existence and nature of credit-risk-related contingent features. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on its reporting and when, if necessary, to implement enhanced reporting.

3.	COMPENSATION PLANS
	Effective November 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments (revised 2004)” (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Under SFAS No. 123R the Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at the initial date of grant.
	The Company has several stock-based compensation plans under which incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted shares are granted. In April 1998, the Company’s stockholders approved the 1998 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. In April 2003, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the authorized number of shares to be issued under its 1998 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000. This plan provides for issuances of options to purchase the Company’s common stock under the administration of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The intent of the plan is to reward options to officers, employees, directors, and other individuals providing services to the Company.
	In April 2004, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan provides for issuances of awards of up to 250,000 restricted or unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, or incentive or non-statutory stock options to purchase such common stock. Of the total amount of shares authorized under this plan, 149,000 option shares are outstanding, 26,000 restricted shares have been granted, and 75,000 shares are available for grant at January 31, 2008.
	The options issued under the plans generally vest in periods up to five years based on the continuous service of the recipient and have 10 year contractual terms. Share awards generally vest over one year. Option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the plan).
	There was no activity related to stock options and outstanding stock option balances or other equity based compensation during the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company did not grant any equity based compensation during the six months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007.
	The following table summarizes information pertaining to outstanding stock options, all of which are exercisable, as of April 30, 2008:

7

			Weighted
			Average		Weighted		Intrinsic
Exercise	Outstanding		Remaining		Average		Value
Price	Options		Contractual		Exercise		as of
Range	(Shares)		Life		Price		April 30, 2008
$1.80 - $2.60		234,500		6.7	$	2.32	$	—
$2.81 - $3.38		358,200		2.3		3.24		—
$3.50 - $4.25		70,000		2.2		3.99		—
$4.28 - $4.98		5,000		3.7		4.98		—
		667,700			$	3.01	$	—

Outstanding options were granted with lives of 10 years and provide for vesting over a term of 0-5 years. Since all outstanding stock options were fully vested as of April 30, 2008 there was no unrecognized share based compensation related to unvested options as of that date. All incentive and non-qualified stock option grants had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On June 15, 1999, the Company’s stockholders approved the Vermont Pure Holdings, Ltd. 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). On January 1, 2001, employees commenced participation in the plan. The total number of shares of common stock issued under this plan during the six months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 was 28,588 and 27,173 for proceeds of $44,812 and $39,239, respectively.

On March 29, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares available under the plan from 500,000 to 650,000 shares. Effective January 1, 2006, ESPP shares are granted at 95% of the fair market value at the last day of the offering period. Prior to that, ESPP shares were granted at 85% of the fair market value at the lower of the first or last day of the offering period.

4.	INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS
	The Company uses interest rate swaps to fix certain long term interest rates. The swap rates are based on the floating 30-day LIBOR rate and are structured such that if the loan rate for the period exceeds the fixed rate of the swap, then the bank pays the Company to lower the effective interest rate. Conversely, if the loan rate is lower than the fixed rate, the Company pays the bank additional interest.
	On October 5, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate hedge swap agreement in conjunction with an amendment to its facility with Bank of America. The intent of the instrument is to fix the interest rate on 75% of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan with Bank of America as required by the facility. The swap fixes the interest rate for the swapped amount at 6.62% (4.87% plus the applicable margin, 1.75%).
	As of April 30, 2008, the total notional amount committed to the swap agreement was $13.8 million. On that date, the variable rate on the remaining 25% of the term debt was 4.55%.

8

Based on the floating rate for respective three month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid $65,000 more and $57,000 less in interest, respectively, than it would have without the swaps.

These swaps are considered cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 because they are intended to hedge, and are effective as a hedge, against variable cash flows. As a result, the changes in the fair values of the derivatives, net of tax, are recognized as comprehensive income or loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

5.	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
	The following table summarizes comprehensive income for the respective periods:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	April 30,					April 30,
	2008		2007			2008			2007

7.

OTHER ASSETS

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company provided a provision for bad debt expense on an unsecured, subordinated note receivable from Trident LLC. The note, which was due in full in 2011 and had a principal of $475,000, represented the remaining portion of the sales price that was receivable from the sale of its retail operations in March, 2004. The note was considered fully impaired primarily based on advice from Trident that it had closed its principal facility and generally ceased its operations due to cash flow problems. The provision for bad debt expense is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2008.

8.

INCOME PER SHARE AND WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES

The Company considers outstanding in-the-money stock options as potential common stock in its calculation of diluted earnings per share, unless the effect would be anti-dilutive, and uses the treasury stock method to calculate the applicable number of shares. The following calculation provides the reconciliation of the denominators used in the calculation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	April 30,				April 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Net Income	$	470,582	$	411,993	$	982,804	$	702,642
Denominator:
Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		21,623,789		21,635,113		21,618,861		21,628,632
Dilutive effect of Stock Options		—		357		—		—
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		21,623,789		21,635,470		21,618,861		21,628,632
Basic Income Per Share	$	.02	$	.02	$	.05	$	.03
Diluted Income Per Share	$	.02	$	.02	$	.05	$	.03

There were 667,700 and 724,500 options outstanding as of April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 there were no options used to calculate the effect of dilution because all of the outstanding options’ exercise prices exceeded the market price of the underlying common shares.

9.	DEBT
	As of April 30, 2008 the Company had outstanding balances of $18.4 million on its term loan, $650,000 on its $7.5 million acquisition line of credit and $675,000 on the $6 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America. In addition, there was an outstanding letter of credit for $1,485,000 issued against the revolving line of credit’s availability. As of April 30, 2008 there was $6,850,000 and $3,840,000 available on the acquisition and revolving lines of credit, respectively.
	As of April 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $5.9 million of debt subject to variable interest rates. Under the senior credit agreement with Bank of America, interest is paid at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% on term debt and 1.50% on the acquisition line of credit resulting in variable interest rates of 4.55% and 4.30%, respectively at April 30, 2008.
	The Company’s credit facility requires the Company to be in compliance with certain financial covenants at the end of each fiscal quarter. The covenants include senior debt service coverage as defined of greater than 1.25 to 1, total debt service coverage as defined of greater than 1 to 1, and senior debt to EBITDA of greater than 2.50 to 1. As of April 30,

10

2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

As of April 30, 2008, the Company had $14,000,000 of subordinated debt outstanding bearing an interest rate of 12%.

10.	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007 as well as the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes contained herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in the Form 10-Q and in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “we expect,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “project,” “outlook,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Among these risks are water supply and reliance on commodity price fluctuations. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Results of Operations

Overview and Trends

Our net income for the first half of our fiscal year increased from the same period last year largely on the strength of increased sales. Our traditional product sales, water and equipment rentals, are substantially unchanged as compared to last year. The sales increase was attributable to single serve-coffee. In addition, we had a large proportionate increase in revenue related to fees to offset increasing energy costs driven by market conditions. These are not allocated to specific products as they are intended to offset increased energy related costs of goods sold and operating costs. Net income for the six month period increased despite the write off of a significant note receivable related to the 2004 divesture of our retail business.

We will be devoting more resources in future quarters to sales support and advertising for our traditional products. In the longer term, operating costs will continue to be adversely affected by outside conditions such as fuel, insurance, and administrative expenses related to regulatory requirements. The SEC has extended the period to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for certain companies and we have been able to take advantage of this extension. We absorbed some of this compliance cost in fiscal year 2005 and expect that most of the remainder of the anticipated cost to comply will be incurred throughout the current fiscal year.

We continue to reduce debt through scheduled principal payments of our senior debt. In addition, the potential of growth through acquisitions remains viable. We have ample opportunities to acquire businesses through small acquisitions and will take advantage of these opportunities based on price,

12

potential synergies, and access to capital. If we do exploit such opportunities, we would likely increase our outstanding debt.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended April 30, 2008 (Second Quarter) Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30, 2007

Sales

Sales for the three months ended April 30, 2008 were $17,438,000 compared to $15,677,000 for the corresponding period in 2007, an increase of $1,761,000 or 11%. The increase was primarily the result of coffee sales and sales of non-traditional products which increased at a greater rate than the sales of traditional products. Sales as a result of acquisitions accounted for $135,000 of total sales for the second quarter of 2008. Net of the acquisition related sales growth, sales grew 10% from a year ago.

The comparative breakdown of sales of the product lines for the respective three-month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Product Line	2008		2007		Difference			% Diff.
(000’s $)
Water	$	7,284	$	6,992	$	292			4	%
Coffee and Related		5,535		5,015		520			10	%
Equipment Rental		2,216		2,271		(55	)		(2	%)
Other		2,403		1,399		1,004			72	%
Total	$	17,438	$	15,677	$	1,761			11	%

Water — Sales of water and related products increased as a result of an increase in the amount of water sold and the higher price compared to the second quarter in the prior year. Volume increased 3% and price increased 1% in the second quarter of 2008 from the same quarter of 2007. The increase in volume for the period was, in part, due to acquisitions which accounted for 1% of sales increase for the quarter.

Coffee and Related Products — The increase in sales in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007 was attributable to increased volume of all products in this category but primarily to the growth of single serve coffee, which grew 21%, to $2,419,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1,998,000 in the same period in fiscal year 2007. Net of the effects of acquisitions, sales for the category increased 9%.

Equipment Rental — Equipment rental revenue decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007 primarily as a result of a decrease in the average rental price that more than offset an increase in placements of equipment. Sales were 2% higher in the second quarter of 2008 due to increased equipment placements and 4% lower as a result of lower prices as compared to the second quarter of 2007. Acquisitions had no impact on equipment rental revenue.

Other — The substantial increase in other revenue is reflective of fees that are charged as a result of higher energy costs for delivery and freight, raw materials, and bottling operations. These

13

charges increased to $778,000 in the second quarter of 2008 from $250,000 in the same period in 2007. Sales of other products such as single-serve drinks, cups, and vending items, in aggregate, increased 15% from the second quarter last year to the second quarter of 2008. In addition, the improvement in sales in this category reflects the fact that in the second quarter of 2007, we had a charge of $201,000 because our estimate of container deposit liability from a departing customer was too low. This effect did not recur in 2008.

Gross Profit/Cost of Goods Sold— For the three months ended April 30, 2008, gross profit increased $1,133,000, or 13%, to $9,801,000 from $8,668,000 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher sales and stable cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 56% in the second quarter of 2008 and 55% for the comparable period in 2007.

Cost of goods sold includes all costs to bottle water, costs of purchasing and receiving products for resale, including freight, as well as costs associated with product quality, warehousing and handling costs, internal transfers, and the repair and service of rental equipment, but does not include the costs of distributing our product to our customers. We include distribution costs in selling, general, and administrative expense, and the amount is reported below. The reader should be aware that other companies may include distribution costs in their cost of goods sold, in which case, on a comparative basis, such other companies may have a lower gross margin as a result.

Operating Expenses and Income from Operations

Total operating expenses increased to $8,223,000 in the second quarter of 2008 from $7,179,000 in the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $1,044,000, or 15%.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $7,594,000 in the second quarter of 2008 increased $942,000, or 14%, from $6,652,000 in the comparable period in 2007. Of total SG&A expenses, (1) route distribution costs increased $69,000, or 2%, as a result of higher fuel and sales-related compensation costs; (2) selling costs increased $142,000, or 27%, as a result of higher sales-related compensation costs; and administration costs increased $731,000, 26%, primarily as a result of higher health insurance costs and the provision for bad debt expense of $475,000 on a note receivable that more than offset a reduction of accounting and computer-related fees. The note, which was due in full in 2011, represented the remaining portion of the sales price that was receivable from the sale of our retail operations in March, 2004. The note was considered fully impaired primarily based on advice from the debtor that it had closed its principal facility and generally ceased its operations due to cash flow problems.

Advertising expenses were $453,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $324,000 in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $129,000, or 40%. The increase in advertising costs is primarily related to an increase in yellow page advertising due to timing in the specific advertising programs purchased as compared to the previous year.

Amortization was $227,000 in the second quarter of 2008, a $17,000 increase from $210,000 in the comparable quarter in 2007. Amortization is attributable to intangible assets that were acquired as part of acquisitions in recent years.

14

Income from operations for the three months ended April 30, 2008 was $1,578,000 compared to $1,489,000 in the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $89,000, or 6%. The increase was a result of higher sales and stable cost of goods sold despite higher operating costs.

Interest, Taxes, and Other Expenses — Income from Continuing Operations

Interest expense was $782,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $802,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2007, a decrease of $20,000. The decrease is attributable to lower outstanding debt and lower variable interest rates that more than offset higher fixed interest rates. Higher interest rates were a result of fixing senior debt at a long term rate higher than short term market rates when the debt was re-financed in 2007.

Income before income taxes was $796,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to income before income taxes of $687,000 in the corresponding period in 2007, an improvement of $109,000. The tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $326,000 and was based on the expected effective tax rate of 37% for the full year. This rate increased from the first quarter and resulted in a 41% effective rate for the second quarter as a result of an increase in the valuation allowance related to the write off of the note referenced above. We recorded a tax expense of $276,000 related to income from operations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 based on an anticipated effective tax rate of 40%.

Net Income

Net income of $471,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 increased from net income of $412,000 in the corresponding period in 2007, an improvement of $59,000. The increase is attributable to higher sales and gross margin despite higher operating costs, based largely on a one-time charge, for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2007.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended April 30, 2008 (First Half) Compared to the Six Months Ended April 30, 2007

Sales

Sales for the six months ended April 30, 2008 were $33,823,000 compared to $30,979,000 for the corresponding period in 2007, an increase of $2,844,000 or 9%. The increase was primarily the result of coffee sales and sales of non-traditional products. Sales as a result of acquisitions accounted for $253,000 of total sales for the second quarter of 2008. Net of the acquisition related sales growth, sales grew 8% from a year ago.

The comparative breakdown of sales of the product lines for the respective six month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Product Line	2008		2007		Difference			% Diff.
(000’s $)
Water	$	13,905	$	13,769	$	136			1	%
Coffee and Related		10,887		9,798		1,089			11	%
Equipment Rental		4,459		4,562		(103	)		(2	%)
Other		4,572		2,850		1,722			60	%
Total	$	33,823	$	30,979	$	2,844			9	%

15

Water — Sales of water and related products increased as a result of the higher price compared to the first half in the prior year. Average selling price increased 1% in the first half of 2008 while volume was substantially unchanged from the same period of 2007. Acquisitions for the first half of the fiscal year accounted for a 1% sales increase so, net of acquisitions, water sales were unchanged from the comparable period in the prior year.

Coffee and Related Products — The increase in sales in the first half of 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007 was attributable to increased volume of all products in this category but primarily to the growth of single serve coffee, which grew 21%, to $4,747,000 in the first half of 2008 compared to $3,923,000 in the same period in fiscal year 2007. Net of the effects of acquisitions, sales for the category increased 10%.

Equipment Rental — Equipment rental revenue decreased in the first half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 primarily as a result of a decrease in the average rental price that more than offset an increase in placements of equipment. Sales were 2% higher in the first half of 2008 due to increased equipment placements and 4% lower as a result of lower prices as compared to the first half of 2007. Acquisitions had no impact on equipment rental revenue.

Other — The substantial increase in other revenue is reflective of fees that are charged as a result of higher energy costs for delivery and freight, raw materials, and bottling operations. These charges increased to $1,462,000 in the first half of 2008 from $449,000 in the same period in 2007. Sales of other products such as single-serve drinks, cups, and vending items, in aggregate, increased 11% from the first half last year to the first half of 2008. In addition, the improvement in sales in this category reflects the fact that in the second quarter of 2007, we had a charge of $201,000 because our estimate of container deposit liability from a departing customer was too low. This effect did not recur in 2008.

Gross Profit/Cost of Goods Sold— For the six months ended April 30, 2008, gross profit increased $1,711,000, or 10%, to $18,949,000 from $17,238,000 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher sales and stable cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 56% in the first half of the year for both 2008 and 2007.

Cost of goods sold includes all costs to bottle water, costs of purchasing and receiving products for resale, including freight, as well as costs associated with product quality, warehousing and handling costs, internal transfers, and the repair and service of rental equipment, but does not include the costs of distributing our product to our customers. We include distribution costs in selling, general, and administrative expense, and the amount is reported below. The reader should be aware that other companies may include distribution costs in their cost of goods sold, in which case, on a comparative basis, such other companies may have a lower gross margin as a result.

Operating Expenses and Income from Operations

Total operating expenses increased to $15,825,000 in the first half of 2008 from $14,440,000 in the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $1,385,000, or 10%.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $14,639,000 in the first half of 2008 increased $1,119,000, or 8%, from $13,520,000 in the comparable period in 2007. Of total SG&A expenses, (1) route distribution costs increased $240,000, or 4%, as a result of higher fuel and sales-related compensation costs; (2) selling costs increased $160,000, or 13%, as a result of higher sales-related compensation costs; and (3) administration costs increased $718,000, or 13%, as a result of higher health insurance costs and the provision for bad debt of $475,000 on a note receivable that more than offset a reduction of accounting and computer-related fees. The note, which was due in full in 2011, represented the remaining portion of the sales price that was receivable from the sale of our retail operations in March, 2004. The note was considered fully impaired primarily based on advice from the debtor that it had closed its principal facility and generally ceased its operations due to cash flow problems.

Advertising expenses were $794,000 in the first half of 2008 compared to $518,000 in the first half of 2007, an increase of $276,000, or 53%. The increase in advertising costs is primarily related to an increase in yellow page advertising.

Amortization was $452,000 in the first half of 2008, a $35,000 increase from $417,000 in the comparable period in 2007. Amortization is attributable to intangible assets that were acquired as part of acquisitions in recent years.

Income from operations for the six months ended April 30, 2008 was $3,124,000 compared to $2,797,000 in the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $327,000, or 12%. The increase was a result of higher sales and stable cost of goods sold despite higher operating costs.

Interest, Taxes, and Other Expenses — Income from Continuing Operations

Interest expense was $1,563,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $1,625,000 in the six months ended April 30, 2007, a decrease of $62,000. The decrease is attributable to lower outstanding debt and variable interest rates that more than offset higher fixed interest rates. Higher interest rates were a result of fixing senior debt at a long term rate higher than short term market rates when the debt was
re-financed in 2007.

Income before income taxes was $1,561,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2008 compared to income before income taxes of $1,172,000 in the corresponding period in 2007, an improvement of $389,000. The tax expense for the first half of fiscal year 2008 was $579,000 and was based on the expected effective tax rate of 37%. We recorded a tax expense of $470,000 related to income from operations in the first half of fiscal year 2007 based on an anticipated effective tax rate of 40%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily a result of the affect of expected tax credits for the installation of solar electricity generating equipment during fiscal year 2008 partially offset by a valuation allowance set up for the write off of the note referenced above.

Net Income

Net income of $983,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2008 increased from net income of $703,000 in the corresponding period in 2007, an improvement of $280,000, or 40%. The increase

17

is attributable to higher sales and gross margin despite higher operating costs, based largely on the charge related to the note receivable, for the first half of 2008 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of April 30, 2008, we had working capital of $1,480,000 compared to $2,609,000 as of October 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,129,000. The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to the use of cash during the first six months of the respective fiscal years for capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt reduction. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $819,000 to $2,223,000 in 2008 from $1,404,000 in 2007. The increase was attributable to higher net income, as well as the fact that a material portion of selling, general, and administrative expenses was not a cash item, as noted in more detail below. In addition, we generally used less cash to fund changes in prepaid expenses and inventory which offset greater use of cash for seasonal increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable in the first half of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the first half of fiscal year 2007.

As mentioned above, we use cash provided by operations to repay debt and fund capital expenditures. In the first six months of fiscal year 2008, we used $1,640,000 for scheduled repayments of our term debt. In addition we used $2,672,000 for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were substantially higher than the same quarter last year because of $1,239,000 expended on our solar electricity generation project and also included routine expenditures for coolers, brewers, bottles and racks related to home and office distribution. The expenditures on the solar project are net of $644,000 received from a grant for the project. The contracted installation price of the project is $2,090,000 and we anticipate receiving $1,288,000 in related grant revenue by the time the project is concluded in June 2008.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, we provided a provision for bad debt expense against the entire balance, plus accrued interest, of an unsecured, subordinated note that was receivable from Trident LLC. The note, which was due in full in 2011 and had a principal of $475,000, represented the remaining portion of the sales price that was receivable from the sale of our retail operations in March, 2004. The note was considered fully impaired primarily based on advice from Trident that it had closed its principal facility and generally ceased its operations due to cash flow problems. Also during the period, we made a provision of $41,000 against another note receivable that represents the portion that we estimate to be uncollectible.

As of April 30, 2008 we had outstanding balances of $18.4 million on our term loan, $650,000 on our $7.5 million acquisition line of credit and $675,000 on our $6 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America. In addition, there was an outstanding letter of credit for $1,485,000 issued against the revolving line of credit’s availability. As of April 30, 2008 there was $6,850,000 and $3,840,000 available on the acquisition and revolving lines of credit, respectively.

Our credit facility requires that we be in compliance with certain financial covenants at the end of each fiscal quarter. The covenants include senior debt service coverage as defined of greater than 1.25 to 1, total debt service coverage as defined of greater than 1 to 1, and senior debt to EBITDA as defined of no greater than 2.5 to 1. As of April 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of our credit facility.

18

As of April 30, 2008, we had an interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America in effect. The intent of the instrument is to fix the interest rate on 75% of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan as required by the credit facility. The swap fixes the interest rate for the swapped amount at 6.62% (4.87% plus the applicable margin, 1.75%).

The net deferred tax liability at April 30, 2008 represents temporary timing differences, primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization, between book and tax calculations. We have used all of our federal net operating loss carryforwards and will have to fund our tax liabilities with cash in the current fiscal year and in the future.

In addition to our senior and subordinated debt commitments, we have significant future cash commitments, primarily in the form of operating leases that are not reported on the balance sheet. The following table sets forth our contractual commitments in future fiscal years:

	Payment due by fiscal year
			Remainder
Contractual Obligations (1)	Total		of 2008		2009-2010		2011-2012		After 2012
Debt	$	33,891,000	$	1,624,000	$	7,520,000	$	6,760,000	$	17,987,000
Interest on Debt (2)		14,918,000		2,087,000		5,082,000		4,236,000		3,513,000
Operating Leases		14,051,000		1,844,000		6,059,000		3,383,000		2,765,000
Total	$	62,860,000	$	5,555,000	$	18,661,000	$	14,379,000	$	24,265,000

(1)	Customer deposits have been excluded from the table. Deposit balances vary from period to period with water sales but future increases and decreases in the balances are not accurately predictable. Deposits are excluded because, net of periodic additions and reductions, it is probable that a customer deposit balance will always be outstanding as long as the business operates.
(2)	Interest based on 75% of outstanding senior debt at the hedged interest rate discussed above, 25% of outstanding senior debt at a variable rate of 4.55%, and subordinated debt at a rate of 12%.

We have no other material contractual obligations or commitments.

Inflation has had no material impact on our performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.

Pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 305(e), smaller reporting companies are not required to provide this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, and other members of our senior management team have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and

19

procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were adequate and effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiary, in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to insure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or other persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives.

The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of internal controls, and fraud. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

There have been no material developments in our legal proceedings since they were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending October 31, 2007.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Recently, various media outlets have reported that a chemical, bisphenol A, used in packaging and other products can possibly have adverse health effects on consumers, particularly on young children. Bisphenol A is contained in the three- and five- gallon polycarbonate plastic bottles that we use to bottle our water. We feel that the scientific evidence suggests that polycarbonate plastic has been, and will continue to be, a safe packing material for all consumers. National and international organizations responsible for consumer safety, including the Food and Drug Administration, have continued to recognize the safety of this packaging. Nonetheless, media reports have prompted concern in our marketplace among customers and potential customers.

To date, this situation has not adversely affected our business. However, it is possible that developments surrounding this issue could lead to adverse effects on our business. Such developments could include:

• Increased publicity that changes perception regarding packaging that uses bisphenol A, so that significant numbers of consumers stop purchasing products that are packaged in polycarbonate plastic.

• The emergence of new scientific evidence that proves polycarbonate plastic is unsafe, or interpretations of existing evidence by regulatory agencies that lead to prohibitions on the use of polycarbonate plastic as packaging for consumable products.

• Inability of sellers of consumable products to find an adequate supply of alternative packaging if polycarbonate plastic becomes an undesirable package.

In such events, or any of them, were to occur, our sales and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

We have begun offering PET plastic as an alternative bottle and have converted customers with a concern about polycarbonate plastic to this container. However, at this point, no assurance can be given that this is an adequate solution if materially adverse developments such as those noted above should occur.
