CANANDAIGUA WINE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1997
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 the financial information for Canandaigua Wine Company, 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, 1997.
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.
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,
1997 1997
----------- -----------
(in thousands)
Raw materials and supplies $ 11,493 $ 14,191
Wines and distilled spirits in process 213,926 262,289
Finished case goods 89,623 72,526
----------- -----------
315,042 349,006
Less - LIFO reserve (24,756) (22,380)
----------- -----------
$ 290,286 $ 326,626
=========== ===========
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 $1.4 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis, higher for
the three months ended May 31, 1997, and reported net income would have been
$3.5 million, or $0.18 per share on a fully diluted basis, higher for the three
months ended May 31, 1996.
3) NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE:
Net income per common and common equivalent share is based on the weighted
average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options.
Page 5
In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," (SFAS No. 128) was issued. The Company is required to
adopt SFAS No. 128 for the year ending February 28, 1998, and restate previously
reported earnings per share. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company
believes the effect of adoption will not be material.
4) 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
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 non-guarantor 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, loans or advances.

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 the consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows and liquidity of the Company for the three months ended May 31, 1997
("First Quarter 1998"), compared to the three months ended May 31, 1996 ("First
Quarter 1997"), and the year ended February 28, 1997. 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, 1997.
The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry. The
Company is principally a producer and supplier of wines and an importer and
producer of beers and distilled spirits. The Company's products are marketed by
three operating divisions: wine, beer and spirits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1997
NET SALES
The following table sets forth the net sales (in thousands of dollars) and
unit volumes (in thousands of cases), if applicable, for branded beverage
alcohol products and other products and services sold by the Company for First
Quarter 1998 and First Quarter 1997.

--------- --------- ----- ------ ------ -----
$ 306,011 $ 276,493 10.7% 17,017 14,918 14.1%
========= ========= ===== ====== ====== =====
(a) Other consists primarily of non-branded concentrate sales, contract
bottling and other production services and bulk product sales, none of
which are sold in case quantities.
Net sales for First Quarter 1998 increased to $306.0 million from $276.5
million for First Quarter 1997, an increase of $29.5 million, or 10.7%. This
increase resulted primarily from (i) $24.8 million of additional imported beer
sales, largely Mexican beers, (ii) $4.8 million of additional spirits sales and
(iii) $4.3 million of additional non-varietal and varietal table wine sales.
These increases were partially offset by lower sales of grape juice concentrate,
dessert wines and sparkling wines. Unit volume for branded beverage alcohol
products for First Quarter 1998 increased 14.1% as compared to First Quarter
1997. The unit volume increase was largely the result of increased sales of the
Company's imported beer brands and spirits brands. The increase in non-varietal
and varietal table wine brands unit volume was partially offset by a decrease in
unit volume of dessert wine brands and sparkling wine brands.
Page 7
GROSS PROFIT
The Company's gross profit increased to $80.7 million for First Quarter
1998 from $72.9 million for First Quarter 1997, an increase of $7.8 million, or
10.7%. As a percent of net sales, gross profit was 26.4% for First Quarter 1998
and First Quarter 1997. The dollar increase in gross profit resulted primarily
from increased sales of beer and higher gross profit from spirits brands,
partially offset by lower gross profit from branded wine sales due to higher
costs, particularly grape costs, not fully offset by higher selling prices. The
Company has experienced significantly higher grape costs from the 1995 and 1996
harvests and may experience higher costs from the 1997 harvest, although grape
prices from the upcoming harvest are inherently difficult to predict this early
in the season. The Company believes that due to the timing of implementation of
selling price increases, changes in geographical mix and other competitive
factors, higher grape costs have not been fully offset by higher selling prices.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to fully offset these higher
costs in the future.
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 a reduction of $2.4 million and
$5.9 million in First Quarter 1998 and First Quarter 1997, respectively, due to
the Company's LIFO accounting method.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $55.2 million for
First Quarter 1998 from $49.9 million for First Quarter 1997, an increase of
$5.3 million, or 10.6%. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percent of net sales decreased to 18.0% for First Quarter 1998 as compared to
18.1% for First Quarter 1997. The dollar increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses resulted principally from advertising, promotion,
selling and other expenses related to the Company's increased sales volume and
overall growth.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Net interest expense decreased to $8.5 million for First Quarter 1998 from
$8.8 million for First Quarter 1997, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 3.6%. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the Company's average borrowings
which was partially offset by an increase in the average interest rate.
NET INCOME
As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $10.0 million for
First Quarter 1998 from $8.5 million for First Quarter 1997, an increase of $1.5
million, or 18.2%.
For financial analysis purposes only, the Company's earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for First Quarter 1998
was $34.3 million, an increase of $2.8 million over EBITDA of $31.5 million for
First Quarter 1997. 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.
Page 8
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 1998 CASH FLOWS
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by operating activities for First Quarter 1998 was $47.2
million which resulted primarily from a net decrease of $25.4 million in
operating assets plus net income adjusted for noncash items. The net decrease of
$25.4 million in operating assets was primarily due to a net $36.3 million
seasonal decrease in inventory levels, partially offset by a $13.8 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 1998 was $0.8
million which resulted from $6.6 million of capital expenditures, including $1.9
million for vineyards, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property,
plant and equipment of $5.8 million.
Net cash used in financing activities for First Quarter 1998 was $54.8
million which resulted principally from net repayment of $35.5 million of
revolving loan borrowings under the Company's bank credit agreement, principal
payments of $10.1 million of long-term debt and repurchase of $9.2 million of
the Company's Class A Common Stock.
During January 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $30.0 million of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock (the "Repurchase Program"). During May 1997, the Company completed the
Repurchase Program with the repurchase of 362,100 shares of its Class A Common
Stock at a cost of $9.2 million. With respect to the Repurchase Program, the
Company repurchased a total of 1,149,550 shares of Class A Common Stock at an
aggregate cost of $30.0 million, or at an average cost of $26.10 per share.
DEBT
Total debt outstanding as of May 31, 1997, amounted to $390.8 million, a
decrease of $45.5 million from February 28, 1997, resulting primarily from the
repayment of revolving loan borrowings and
Page 9
principal payments of long-term debt. The ratio of total debt to total
capitalization decreased to 51.6% as of May 31, 1997, from 54.5% as of February
28, 1997.
As of May 31, 1997, under its bank credit agreement, the Company had
outstanding term loans of $175.9 million bearing interest at 6.8%, $21.5 million
of revolving loans bearing interest at 6.5%, undrawn revolving letters of credit
of $5.7 million and $157.8 million available to be drawn in revolving loans.
As of May 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding $195.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003. The notes are
unsecured and subordinated to the prior payment in full of all senior
indebtedness of the Company, which includes the bank credit agreement. The notes
are guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by substantially all of the
Company's operating subsidiaries. Subsequent to May 31, 1997, California
Products Company, Bisceglia Brothers Wine Co., Guild Wineries & Distilleries,
Inc., Vintners International Company, Inc. and Widmer's Wine Cellars, Inc., each
a subsidiary guarantor, were merged into another subsidiary guarantor.
