CARIBBEAN CIGAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995. Such financial statements have been condensed in accordance with
the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March
31, 1996 included in its Registration Statements on Form SB2, file no.
333-04415, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 30, 1996.
The Company has reclassified certain expenses between operations and
cost of sales. Such changes have been retroactively reflected in the
totals for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996.
1. Income (Loss) per Share:
Income (loss) per share for the nine months and three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation
gives retroactive effect (as if to inception of the Company) to those
shares issued to founders at par value. Additionally, stock and stock
options issued during fiscal 1996 have been treated as outstanding since
October 3, 1994 (inception), the dilutive effective of which was computed
using the treasury stock method.
2. In July 1996, the Company received net proceeds of $8,800,000 from the
sale of securities in its Initial Public Offering.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1996 are not
readily comparable with the results of operations for the three months ended
December 31, 1995. During the three months ended December 31, 1995, the
Company's sole business was the operation of one retail store in Key Largo,
Florida. This was operated as a sole proprietorship, and sold cigars and other
products manufactured by others. In approximately January 1996, the Company
commenced the manufacture of cigars and the distribution of its cigars to
premium tobacco stores.
The Company's sales for the three months ended December 31, 1996 were
$3,075,400, representing an increase of 1369% from the Company's sales for the
three months ended December 31, 1995, which were $209,389. This increase is
attributed to the increase in manufacturing volume, the opening of four
additional retail stores located in Miami Beach, Key West, Coconut Grove, and
in the Little Havana section of Miami, Florida, and the wholesale distribution
of its cigars and other products. The primary source of revenue for the period
ending December 31, 1995 was from retail sales at the Key Largo store, as
compared to revenue for the period ending December 31, 1996 from the Company's
four retail stores and factory outlet. The combined sales of these stores for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 was approximately $495,000 or 16% of
total sales. The remaining sales of $2,580,400 or 84% of revenue, was
attributable to wholesale sales from the factory.
Gross profit increased to $868,200, or 28% of sales, for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to $55,000, or 26% of sales in the three months
ended September 30, 1995, an increase of 1,479%. The increase in gross profit
reflects (i) the commencement of manufacturing and wholesale distribution in
January 1996; and (ii) the opening of four additional retail stores in Florida.
Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1996 were $249,600 as
compared to $59,900 for the three months ended December 31, 1995, representing
a 317% increase. The increase in selling expenses reflects the expanded nature
of the Company's operations, coupled with the advertising and promotional
expenses associated with the introduction of three national brands of cigars.
During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company expanded its
retail base with the opening of one store. During the three months ended
December 31, 1995, the Company had only modest selling expenses relating to its
one retail store in Key Largo, and expenses related to the introduction of its
line of cigars.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1996 were $598,400 as compared to $121,250 for the comparable period of 1995.
This represented an increase of approximately 394%. This increase is due to
the expanded nature of the Company's operations and includes $238,000 for
salaries and related costs; professional fees of $110,000; insurance costs of
$20,000; and other costs of $230,000.

The Company incurred no interest expense for the three months ended December 31,
1996 as compared to $11,400 in bridge loan interest for the comparable period of
1995. Interest income was $87,700 for the three months ended December 31, 1996
as a result of investing the proceeds of the public offering which was completed
in August 1996.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had operating income of $108,000, or
$.02 per share, for 1996, as compared with a loss of $137,500, or ($.04) per
share, for the three months ended December 31, 1995.
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
are not readily comparable because of the reasons previously outlined. The
explanations for the variances for the three months ended December 31, 1995 and
1996 are applicable for the nine months as well.
Sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 were $6,076,900 as compared
to sales of $442,300 for the same period in 1995. This represents an increase
of 1274%.
Gross profits increased to $1,600,100 or 26% of sales for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to $143,500 or 32% of sales for the same period
of 1995.
Selling expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 were $803,900 as
compared to $116,000 for the comparable period of 1995. The expenses for the
nine months period of 1996 consisted primarily of salaries and related costs of
$250,000; advertising and promotion of $275,000; rent of $93,000; and other
selling costs of $186,000.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1996
were $1,208,400 as compared to $162,000 for the comparable period of 1995. The
expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 consisted primarily of
salaries and related costs of $561,000; professional fees of $181,000; travel
and promotional expenses of $176,000; and other expenses of $290,000.
Interest income increased to $155,000 for the nine months ended December 31,
1996 as compared to no interest income for the comparable period of 1995. This
increase was due to the investment of the proceeds of the public offering which
was completed in August 1996.
Interest expense decreased to $3,500 for the nine months ended December 31,
1996 as compared to $11,400 of bridge loan interest for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately
$8,228,000, resulting from the completion of its Initial Public Offering in
July 1996, which raised net proceeds of $8,800,000.
At December 31, 1996 the Company had made commitments for both the short-term
and long-term supply of tobacco. During April 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement for the supply of tobacco for which $500,000 has been deposited
through December 31, 1996. The Company has also advanced an additional
$400,000 of a total commitment of $1,750,000 to various tobacco growers for
1997 tobacco crop purchases. In October 1996, the Company opened its fifth
retail store in Coconut Grove, Florida, and in January 1997
Page 7 of 9

opened a store in Ocean Reef, Florida. The Company presently has one store
under construction in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; has entered into a lease for a
store in Orlando, Florida, and may open additional retail locations within the
next twelve months.
The Company has begun production of cigars in its new facility located in the
Dominican Republic in January 1997. As of February 12, 1997, the Company has
expended $520,000 towards the construction and start-up costs for this
facility.
