1. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The financial information at September 30, 1993 and for the two-month
periods ended September 30, 1993 and 1992 is unaudited but includes all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which Vintners
International Company, Inc. ("Vintners") considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at such dates and the operating results
and cash flows for these periods. 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
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
to interim reporting. Results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire year. These financials should be read in
conjunction with Vintners' financial statements and related notes, as of
July 31, 1993 and 1992 and for each of the three years in the period ended
July 31, 1993, included in Canandaigua Wine Company, Inc.'s Form 8-K dated
October 15, 1993. The balance sheet at July 31, 1993 has been derived from
audited financial statements at that date.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Vintners will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, Vintners has incurred significant net losses in each of
the last three years and for the two months ended September 30, 1993, and has
a working capital deficiency of $159,516,000 and a net capital deficiency of
$75,032,000 at September 30, 1993. In addition, as discussed in Note 4,
Vintners' amended debt agreements provide financing through October 15, 1993,
at which time all debt becomes due and payable.
In September 1993, Vintners entered into an agreement to sell
substantially all of Vintners' business and assets to Canandaigua Wine
Company, Inc. (see Note 3).
3. AGREEMENT TO SELL SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE BUSINESS AND ASSETS
Asset Sale Agreement
On September 14, 1993, Vintners entered into an Asset Sale Agreement
with Canandaigua Wine Company, Inc. (Canandaigua) under which the Company
agreed to sell substantially all of its business and assets to Canandaigua,
effective October 15, 1993, subject to certain conditions prior to closing.
At the same time Vintners and its secured lenders entered into amendments to
existing loan agreements curing certain of the existing defaults by Vintners
thereunder and extending financing to Vintners through October 15, 1993, as
well as agreements under which the lenders agreed, upon receipt of certain
cash proceeds and satisfaction of certain other conditions, to release their
liens on the assets of Vintners to be sold to Canandaigua, provided that the
sale is consummated by October 31, 1993.
Under the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement, Canandaigua will acquire
all of Vintners' patents and trademarks, substantially all of Vintners'
current assets, and Vintners' property, plant, and equipment at Vintners'
three facilities located in California. The Asset Sale Agreement also
provides for Canandaigua to lease Vintners' New York facility for a period of
eighteen months after the sale transaction closes. Canandaigua will assume
certain of Vintners' obligations for accounts payable and other current
liabilities, excluding Vintners' pension plan, and will assume Vintners'
commitments under existing leases, grape purchase and crush contracts, and
brandy production agreements. Canandaigua will not assume any of Vintners'
obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement or the Secured Loan
Agreement.
The consideration for the sale of the assets is comprised of a cash
portion plus options to purchase 500,000 shares of Class A common stock of
Canandaigua at a price of $18.25 per share. The amount of the cash portion is
calculated based on a formula which includes a base purchase price of
$68,900,000 plus the book value of inventory, receivables, and other current
assets less $3,750,000, assumed accounts payable and other current liabilities
as of the date of closing. The total consideration to be paid by Canandaigua
will not be sufficient to repay the principal amount of Vintners' outstanding
debt. Vintners and its lenders under the Revolving Credit and Secured Loan
Agreements have entered into an agreement as to the allocation of the proceeds
from the sale which provides for all cash in excess of certain retained
liabilities (other than outstanding debt) of Vintners to be paid to the
lenders and between 50% and 100% of the options to be provided to Vintners or
its designees, depending upon the amount of cash proceeds available for
distribution to the lenders.
Upon closing, Vintners expects to change its name to New VICI, Inc.
Vintners' operating activities subsequent to the closing will consist of
leasing the New York facility and the planned sale of remaining assets and
discharge of remaining liabilities.
The net book values of assets and liabilities to be sold and assets and
liabilities to be retained are as follows:

Assets and Liabilities

Cash $ - $ 923

Current debt and accrued mortgage
interest - 225,621
Accounts payable 34,581 4,264
Federal and state wine excise taxes
and other current liabilities 7,824 3,187
4. DEBT
During 1993, Vintners and its lenders amended Vintners' debt agreements
due to Vintners' inability to satisfy certain financial covenants and the
failure to make scheduled interest payments. The debt agreements, as last
amended, provide continued financing through October 15, 1993. All debt
becomes due and payable on October 15, 1993, and accordingly, all debt has
been classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet as of
September 30, 1993.
5. INCOME TAXES
Effective August 1, 1993, Vintners adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109").
Under FAS 109, the liability method is used to account for income taxes.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Prior to the adoption
of FAS 109, Vintners accounted for income taxes using the deferred method.
Under the deferred method, deferred tax expense was based on items of income
and expense that were reported in different years in the financial statements
and tax returns and were measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the
difference originated.
As permitted by FAS 109, Vintners has elected not to restate the
financial statements of any prior years. The effect of the change on income
taxes for the two-month period ended September 30, 1993, and the cumulative
effect of the change were zero.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Vintners sold bulk wine to Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc. (Seagram), a
stockholder, aggregating $713,000 and $39,000 in the two-month periods ended
September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Vintners provides crushing, processing, and bottling services for
Seagram. Fees for these services aggregated approximately $1,321,000 and
$1,037,000 for the two-month periods ended September 30, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Vintners had an arrangement through July 31, 1993 under which Seagram
processed and bottled brandy. Vintners paid a fee for all processing and
bottling and reimbursed Seagram for all brandy related excise taxes. Vintners
paid brandy processing and bottling fees to Seagram totaling approximately
$460,000 in the two-month period ended September 30, 1992. No fee was paid in
the two-month period ended September 30, 1993.
In addition to the above transactions, Vintners sold $451,000 and
$521,000 for the two-month periods ended September 30, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, of wine products to Seagram and affiliates of Seagram for resale
in other countries.
Vintners purchases grapes under contractual agreements with two
partnerships in which certain directors and officers of Vintners are
principals. Vintners has entered into financing arrangements with the
partnerships that provide for the prepayment of grape purchases in return for
a security interest in the grapes and other assets. The partnerships are
charged interest on the average outstanding balance at the same rate at which
Vintners pays interest under its Revolving Credit Agreement. Vintners had
prepaid approximately $1,324,000 and $2,430,000 as of September 30, 1993 and
1992, respectively, toward the purchase of grapes from the partnerships.
