NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OPINIONS OF MANAGEMENT
A. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1995, the
results of operations and cash flow for the period then ended.
B. In the opinion of management, the results of operations for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
C. Summary of the Company's significant accounting policies are incorporated
by reference to the Company's March 31, 1995 Annual Report filed under
cover of Form 10-K.
D. The financial statements presented were prepared on a proforma consolidated
basis. This gives effect to the combination of Eldorado Artesian Springs,
Inc. and Lexington Funding, Inc. as if it had occurred April 1, 1986.
This business combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using
the purchase method in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The
management of Eldorado Artesian Springs, Inc. has retained control of the
combined entity.
E. Income per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The Company achieved net revenues for the three months and six months ended
September 30, 1995 of $630,283 and $1,129,665 respectively. Both figures are
record revenues for the respective time periods and increased by 28% for the
quarter and 24.5% for the six months over the same periods a year ago. The
growth for the industry as reported by trade journals shows a consensus
average of 11%. Contributing strongly to the dynamic second quarter was an
unseasonably hot summer in the primary distribution areas serviced by the
Company. Just as unseasonable cold and wet weather dampened first quarter
results, the hot weather of the second quarter had a positive impact on
revenues.
The cost of goods sold expense increased by 51.3% for the three month period
and 49.3% for the six months ended September. This increase reflects the
increased volume in the wholesale products division, which has a much greater
cost of goods than the five gallon delivery business. Even though the
wholesale products division contributed 9.8% of gross revenues it generated
50.9% of the cost of goods. As the Company continues to expand its wholesale
products distribution, primarily in PET bottles, we should expect to see
continuing increases in the cost of goods expense. The Company plans and is
working on several methods for reducing the costs associated with the PET
products line. The principal costs are for the bottles, the box, and freight
to the Company's production facility. The Company is currently exploring
possible joint ventures with bottle manufacturers in closer proximity to the
Company facility, and as volume justifies may even begin to manufacture the
bottles itself at a company-owned facility.
Wages, salaries, and related expenses increased 8.5% for the three month
period versus a year ago, and 20.3% for the six months ended September 30,
1995 versus the same six months in 1994. This disparity of wage-related
increases is due primarily to the fact that the Company raised wage scales
for all employees on July 1, 1994. Therefore, the wages for three months
ended June 30, 1995 are reflective of growth in volume and a higher wage
scale than 1994, whereas during the three months ended September 1995 wages
were on the same wage scale as the like period in 1994. The 8.5% increase in
wages during the three months ended September 1995 versus a 28% growth in
revenue during the same period reflects improved operating efficiencies from
new bottling equipment and from economies of scale from the increased volumes.
Depreciation expenses were up 27.5% for both the three months and six months
ended September 30, 1995 when compared to the same period one year ago. These
increases reflect the equipment additions made over the last twelve months in
advance of anticipated volume increases.
Interest expenses increased by 16.5% for the three months and 24% for the six
months when compared to the same period a year ago. This is reflective of the
Company financing new equipment purchases through additions of debt.
Selling, delivery and administrative expenses increased only $3,500 or 1.3%
for the six months versus the same six months one year ago. There were slight
additions to liability insurance expenses due to increased volumes and
additional vehicles. Also, employee covered health insurance increased with
addition of new employees and annual premium increases. These increases were
offset by reductions in workers compensation premiums that were a result of a
reduced modification factor and a better managed work injury-related program.
Also, helping to control theses costs was a slight reduction in extended
selling season advertising. The Company believes that some continued
advertising into late summer produced diminishing returns to sales growth and
are therefore unwarranted.
-7-
Net income for the three months and six months ended September 30, 1995 was
$109,033 and $109,952 respectively. Both are records for the Company and are
increases of 420% for the three months and 113.5% for the six months over the
same reporting periods in 1994. The warm weather and ability of the Company
to hold the line on many expense items, primarily labor costs in the second
quarter, are the main contributing factors to the increased net income
results.
The liquidity position of the Company is fairly sound with respect to the
commonly used ratios; the current ratio is 1.5:1 and the quick ratio is
1.41:1. The Company is highly leveraged and therefore quite subject to
changes in interest rates or a dramatic downturn in business volume.
Management is continuing to formulate strategic options with respect to
restructuring the debt/equity ratio on the balance sheet. It is anticipated
that the Company debt will be restructured and management is hopeful that an
equity raising strategy can be formulated to provide the Company with the
necessary funds for desired growth.
The Company has historically financed operations through a combination of
internally generated funds and funds provided by banks, trade credit, leasing
companies, and through manufacturer's financing plans. Management believes
all of the traditionally used sources are available to the Company at this
time, but remains cautious about additions to long-term debt without any
additions to equity.
