HANSEN NATURAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Reference is made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in the
     Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, which is
     incorporated by reference, for a summary of significant policies utilized
     by Hansen Natural Corporation ("Hansen" or "Company") and its subsidiaries,
     Hansen Beverage Company and CVI Ventures, Inc., and its two indirect
     subsidiaries, Hansen Beverage Company (UK) Limited and Hansen Beverage
     Company (Services) Limited.  The information set forth in these interim
     financial statements is unaudited and may be subject to normal year-end
     adjustments.  The information reflects all adjustments, which include only
     normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are
     necessary to make the financial statements not misleading.  Results of
     operations covered by this report may not necessarily be indicative of
     results of operations for the full fiscal year.

2.   OTHER INCOME

     In connection with the acquisition of the Hansen business, the Company was
     assigned a promissory note made by Hawaiian Water Partners in the original
     principal amount of $310,027 plus interest thereon and certain additional
     principal amounts.  The note was secured by the proceeds, if any, of a
     lawsuit.  The collectibility of this note was dependent upon the outcome of
     that lawsuit and consequently the Company fully reserved against this
     asset.  Following a judgment in the lawsuit, a settlement was reached among
     the plaintiff, defendant and competing claimants to the proceeds from the
     lawsuit.  Under the terms of the settlement, the Company was to receive a
     total of $616,000 plus interest.  $480,000 of this amount was received at
     the end of April 1996.  The balance of $136,000 was paid in August 1996. 
     As of December 31, 1995, the Company had a reserve of $270,000 against the
     note.  As a result of the proceeds collected subsequent to December 31,
     1995, such reserve was eliminated.  The Company recorded other income of
     $107,000 and $126,000 in the first and second quarters of 1996,
     respectively, net of $37,000 of attorney's fees incurred in connection with
     the settlement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

     Management believes that during the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Company continued to make progress towards achieving its ultimate goal of
geographically expanding the Hansen's-Registered Trademark- brand, both
nationally and internationally.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the expansion of distribution of
the Company's products into new markets within the United States contributed
positively to the profitability of the Company as compared to the net loss that
was incurred by the Company from such activities during the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's operations in the
United Kingdom and route distribution system in Southern California incurred a
net loss of approximately $127,000 in the aggregate as compared to a net loss
from these activities of approximately $309,000 in the aggregate during the six
months ended June 30, 1995.

     Net sales and profitability during the six-month period were positively
affected by sales of the Company's new Hansen's-Registered Trademark- Fruit
Juice Smoothies.  Such gains were, however, partially offset by lower sales and
gross profits from soda, apple juice and iced teas, lemonades and juice
cocktails.

     The Company continues to incur expenditures in connection with the
development and introduction of new products and flavors.       

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     NET SALES.  For the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, net sales 
were approximately $10.4 million, an increase of $839,000 or 8.8% over the 
$9.6 million net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The 
increase in net sales was primarily attributable to increased sales of 
Hansen's-Registered Trademark- fruit juice Smoothies in cans, which were 
introduced at the end of the first quarter of 1995 and sales of  
Hansen's-Registered Trademark-fruit juice Smoothies in bottles, which were 
introduced during the first quarter of 1996.  The increase in net sales 
of  Hansen's-Registered Trademark-fruit juice Smoothies was partially offset 
by a decrease in net sales of soda, apple juice and iced teas, lemonades and 
juice cocktails.  Net sales of Smoothies in cans for the three-month period 
ended June 30, 1996 were 62.2% higher than for the three-month period ended 
June 30, 1995.  This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales 
to club stores, retail and specialty chain stores and new distribution.  Net 
sales of soda for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 were 9.3% lower 
than for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease was 
primarily attributable to aggressive retail pricing and promotions of 
mainstream sodas.  Net sales of apple juice for the three-month period ended 
June 30, 1996 were 69.7% lower than for the three-month period ended June 30, 
1995.  This decrease was primarily attributable to operational issues on the 
part of customers in connection with the transition by the Company from glass 
bottles to plastic containers to meet changing consumer preferences.  
Management expects that sales of apple juice will improve after the 
transition is completed.  However, there can be no assurance that such 
improvement will occur.  Net sales of iced teas, lemonades and juice 
cocktails for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 were 28.2% lower 
than for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease was 
primarily attributable to lower sales to retail and specialty chain stores 
and a substantial reduction in sales to distributors and customers outside of 
California.  Such decrease was partially offset by increased sales to club 
stores in California.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit was $4.1 million for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $658,000 or 18.9% over the $3.5 million
gross profit for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 39.9% for the three-month period ended June
30, 1996 from 36.5% for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
primarily attributable to higher average net sales prices and decreases in the
cost of aluminum cans and other raw materials.

     TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES.  Total operating expenses were $3.7 million for
the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $123,000 or 3.4% over
total operating expenses of $3.6 million for the three-month period ended June
30, 1995.  However, total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 35.7% for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 from 37.6% for
the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in total operating
expenses was primarily attributable to increased selling, general and
administrative expenses but was partially offset by a decrease in other
expenses.  The decrease in total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales
was primarily attributable to the increase in net sales and the comparatively
smaller increase in operating expenses from the comparable period in 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.5 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $176,000 or 5.3% over
selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.3 million for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1995.  However, selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 33.8% for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1996 from 34.9% for the three-month period ended June 30,
1995.

     Other expenses were $74,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996,
a decrease of $53,000 or 41.6% below other expenses of $127,000 for the three-
month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease was primarily attributable to
the expiration of certain consulting agreements which were entered into in
connection with the purchase of the Hansen Business and the merger between the
Company, CVI Ventures, Inc. and Continental Ventures, Inc.

     OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income was $433,000 for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1996 compared to an operating loss of $101,000 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The $535,000 increase in operating
income was attributable to a $658,000 increase in gross profit which was
partially offset by an increase of $123,000 in operating expenses.

     NET NONOPERATING EXPENSE.  Net nonoperating expense of $32,000 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $42,000 lower than for the three-
month period ended June 30, 1995.  Net nonoperating expense consists of interest
and financing expense, interest and other income.  Interest and financing
expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $159,000 compared to
$80,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in
interest and financing expense was attributable to expenses incurred in
connection with a line of credit that was obtained by the Company during the
third quarter of 1995 and additional interest expense in connection with that
line.  Interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $2,000
compared to $5,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  In 1996,
other income of $126,000 represents the net recovery under the Hawaiian Water
Partners note described in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements for the
period ended June 30, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     NET INCOME (LOSS).  Net income was $401,000 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1996 compared to a net loss of $176,000 for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1995.  The $577,000 increase in net income for this period
consists of an increase in operating income of $535,000 and a decrease of
$42,000 in net nonoperating expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     NET SALES.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, net sales were 
approximately $17.8 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 18.5% over the 
$15.0 million net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The 
increase in net sales was primarily attributable to increased sales of 
Hansen's-Registered Trademark- fruit juice Smoothies in cans, which were 
introduced at the end of the first quarter of 1995 and sales of  
Hansen's-Registered Trademark- fruit juice Smoothies in bottles, which were 
introduced during the first quarter of 1996. The increase in net sales of  
Hansen's-Registered Trademark- fruit juice Smoothies was partially offset by 
a decrease in net sales of soda, apple juice and iced teas, lemonades and 
juice cocktails.  Net sales of Smoothies in cans for the six-month period 
ended June 30, 1996 were 212.6% higher than for the six-month period ended 
June 30, 1995.  This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales 
to club stores, retail and specialty chain stores and new distribution.  Net 
sales of soda for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 were 15.1% lower 
than for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease was 
primarily attributable to aggressive retail pricing and promotions of 
mainstream sodas.  Net sales of apple juice for the six-month period ended 
June 30, 1996 were 23.3% lower than for the six-month period ended June 30, 
1995.  This decrease was primarily attributable to operational issues on the 
part of customers in connection with the transition by the Company from glass 
bottles to plastic containers to meet changing consumer preferences.  
Management expects that sales of apple juice will improve after the 
transition is completed. However, there can be no assurance that such 
improvement will occur. Net sales of iced teas, lemonades and juice cocktails 
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 were 22.6% lower than for the 
six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease was primarily 
attributable to lower sales to retail and specialty chain stores and a 
substantial reduction in sales to distributors and customers outside of 
California.  Such decrease was partially offset by increased sales to club 
stores in California.

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit was $6.9 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996, an increase of $1.2 million or 22.0% over the $5.7 million gross
profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 38.9% for the six-month period ended June
30, 1996 from 37.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The increase
in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily
attributable to higher average net sales prices and decreases in the cost of
aluminum cans and other raw materials.

     TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES.  Total operating expenses were $6.4 million for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $272,000 or 4.4% over
total operating expenses of $6.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
1995.  However, total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased
to 36.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to 40.9% for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in total operating expenses
was primarily attributable to increased selling, general and administrative
expenses but was partially offset by a decrease in other expenses.  The decrease
in total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily
attributable to the increase in net sales and the comparatively smaller increase
in operating expenses from the comparable period in 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $375,000 or 6.7% over selling,
general and administrative expenses of $5.6 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1995.  However, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 33.8% for the six-month period ended June
30, 1996 from 37.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.

     Other expenses were $149,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996,
a decrease of $105,000 or 41.4% below other expenses of $254,000 for the six-
month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease was primarily attributable to
the expiration of certain consulting agreements which were entered into in
connection with the purchase of the Hansen Business and the merger between the
Company, CVI Ventures, Inc. and Continental Ventures, Inc.

     OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income was $506,000 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996 compared to an operating loss of $466,000 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The $972,000 increase in operating income
was attributable to a $1.2 million increase in gross profit which was partially
offset by an increase of $272,000 in operating expenses.

     NET NONOPERATING EXPENSE.  Net nonoperating expense of $87,000 for the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996 was $80,000 lower than for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1995.  Net nonoperating expense consists of interest and
financing expense, interest and other income.  Interest and financing expense
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $325,000 compared to $180,000
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in interest and
financing expense was attributable to expenses incurred in connection with a
line of credit that was obtained by the Company during the third quarter of 1995
and additional interest expense in connection with that line.  Interest income
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $6,000 compared to $14,000 for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.  In 1996, other income of $233,000
represents the net recovery under the Hawaiian Water Partners note described in
Note 2 to the Company's financial statements for the period ended June 30, 1996.

     NET INCOME (LOSS).  Net income was $420,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996 compared to a net loss of $632,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1995.  The $1.1 million increase in net income for this period consists
of an increase in operating income of $972,000 and a decrease of $80,000 in net
nonoperating expense.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $1,039,931 compared
to $381,256 as of December 31, 1995.

     During the third quarter of 1995, the Company obtained a revolving line of
credit of up to $3 million in aggregate at any time outstanding.  The
utilization of this line of credit by the Company is dependant upon certain
levels of eligible accounts receivable and inventory from time to time.  The
line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets,
including accounts receivable, inventory, trademarks, trademark licenses and
certain equipment.  As of June 30, 1996, $1,035,744 was outstanding under the
line of credit.  The maturity date of the line of credit is August 31, 1996. 
The line of credit is subject to automatic renewal on the maturity date for a
period of one year unless terminated by either party. Management expects the
line of credit to be renewed, although there can be no assurance that this will
occur.  In this regard, an agreement in principle has been reached on the terms
of  renewal of the line of credit but such renewal is subject to the
finalization and execution of a formal written agreement.

     During the first and second quarters of 1996, the Company utilized a
portion of its line of credit, together with its own funds and the net recovery
under the Hawaiian Water Partners note, for working capital and to finance its
expansion and development plans.  Purchases of inventory and support of accounts
receivable, as well as the Company's expansion and development plans, have been,
and for the foreseeable future, are expected to remain the Company's principal
recurring use of funds.  The Company's other use of funds in the future will be
the repayment of principal and interest on the line of credit and the Company's
long-term debt, as well as obligations under certain consulting agreements
entered into in connection with the acquisition of the Hansen Business.

     Management believes that cash available from operations, current cash
resources and its line of credit will be sufficient for its working capital
needs over the next twelve months.

     Although the Company has no current plans to incur any material capital
expenditures, management, from time to time, considers the acquisition of
capital equipment, businesses compatible with the image of the Hansen's-
Registered Trademark- brand and the introduction of new product lines.  The
Company may require additional capital resources in the event of any such
transaction, depending upon the cash requirements relating thereto.

INFLATION

The Company does not believe that inflation had a significant impact on the
Company's results of operations for the periods presented.
