1. ORGANISATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Central European Distribution Corporation (CEDC) was organized as a
Delaware Corporation in September 1997 to operate as a holding company
through its sole subsidiary, Carey Agri International Poland Sp. z o.o.
(Carey Agri). CEDC and Carey Agri are referred to herein as the Company.
In July 1998, CEDC had an initial public offering of 2,000,000 shares (at
$6.50 per share) receiving net proceeds of approximately $10.6 million.
The shares are currently quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at the date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company and
Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1998.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income per common share is calculated under the provisions of FAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share". The average number of shares outstanding was
2,634,795 for all of 1998. The weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were
3,831,939 and 1,780,000, respectively. The increase in 1999 gives effect
to the acquisition discussed in Note 4.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share for the periods indicated.

No stock options have been exercised in the first quarter of 1998.
Warrants granted in connection with CEDC's initial public offering in
July 1998 have been excluded from the above calculation of diluted shares
since the exercise price is greater then the average market price of the
common shares during the first quarter of 1999.
4. PURCHASE OF MULTI TRADE COMPANY S.C.
On March 12,1999, the Company purchased certain assets and business
(excluding manufacture of distilled products) and the trademark of Multi
Trade Company ("MTC" -a Partnership distributing alcoholic beverages in
Poland) for $2.9 million cash and 254,230 shares of the Registrant
Company's common stock. The stock cannot be sold for three years without
the consent of the Registrant Company and were sold in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Regulation S promulgated by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The pro forma unaudited results
of operations for the three months ended March 31,1998 and 1999, assuming
consummation of the purchase and issuance of the common stock as of
January 1, 1998, are as follows:

The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the March 31,1999
condensed consolidated balance sheet is preliminary and subject to
revision upon expiration of the escrow period upon which certain
adjustments of the purchase price may occur. The CEDC has obtained an
independent valuation of MTC's equipment; the trademark acquired has been
recorded at the fair value of the shares issued adjusted for lack of
marketability. The remainder of the excess cost over net assets acquired
has been reported as goodwill and customer lists. Management expects to
finalise the purchase price during the second quarter of 1999.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT AND SHORT-TERM BANK LOANS
In February 1999, the Company obtained from a bank an unsecured USD
denominated long-term loan to make the acquisition described above and
for other purposes. The interest on this loan is at the three month USD
Libor rate plus 1.85% (6.85% at March 31, 1999) and is payable in three
quarterly installments starting August 31, 2000. The amount payable under
the loan was $3,500,000 at March 31, 1999.
In March 1999, the Company obtained an EDR denominated short-term loan
with another bank for its working capital needs. The interest on this
loan is at EURLIBOR rate plus 2% (5% at March 31, 1999) and is payable on
March 22, 2000. The amount payable under the loan was 500,000 EDR
(536,000 USD) at March 31, 1999. This loan is collaterized by inventory
up to a value of 2,000,000 PLN.
In March 1999, the Company signed an agreement with the same bank for a
short-term overdraft facility with the maximum limit of 1,850,000 PLN
(461,000 USD) at March 31, 1999. The Company had 58,000 USD outstanding
as of March 31, 1999. The interest on this credit facility is WIBOR rate
plus 1% (14,5% at March 31, 1999). This credit is payable on March 22,
2000 and is collaterized by inventory up to a value of 1,900,000 PLN.

The corporate income tax rates in Poland was 34% in 1999 and will be 32%
in 2000.
Tax liabilities (including corporate income tax, Value Added Tax, social
security, and other taxes) of the Company's Polish subsidiaries may be
subject to examinations by Polish tax authorities for up to five years
from the end of the year the tax is payable. CEDC's US federal income tax
returns will also be subject to examination by US tax authorities.
Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of
transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations, amounts reported
in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final
determination by the tax authorities.
7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company is involved in litigation and has claims against it for
matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
management, the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
OVERVIEW
The Company's operating results are generally determined by the volume
of alcoholic beverages that can be sold by the Company through its national
distribution system, the gross profits on such sales and control of costs. The
Company purchases the alcoholic beverages it distributes from producers as well
as other importers and wholesalers. Almost all such purchases are made with the
sellers providing a period of time, generally between 25 and 90 days, before the
purchase price is to be paid by the Company. Since the initial public offering,
the Company pays costs on delivery for its domestic vodka purchases in order to
receive additional discounts. The Company sells the alcoholic beverages with a
mark-up over its purchase price, which mark up reflects the market price for
such individual product brands in the Polish market. The Company's bad debt
ratio provision as a percentage of net sales was 0.08% in 1996, 0.12% in 1997,
0.17% in 1998, and 0.09% in the three-month period ended March 31, 1999.
The following comments regarding variations in operating results should
be read considering the rates of inflation in Poland during the period -- 1996,
18.5%; 1997, 14.9% and 8.5% in 1998 -- as well as the devaluation of the Polish
zloty compared to the U.S. Dollar, which was 16.6%, and 22.6% in 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The zloty appreciated 0.3% against the U.S. Dollar in 1998. In the
three month period to March 31, 1999 the zloty depreciated 14.5% against the
U.S. Dollar.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999
Net sales increased $4.44 million, or 45.3% from $9.80 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1998 to $14.24 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1999. This increase is mainly due to increased market penetration by
the existing distribution system and increased sales of domestic vodka following
the acquisition of Multi Trade Company (MTC). The acquisition of MTC added $2.2
million to net sales during last half of March 1999.
Cost of goods sold increased $3.86 million, or 46.6%, from $8.28
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $12.14 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of net sales cost of goods sold
increased from 84.5% to 85.3%. This increase is mainly due to price increases
for domestic vodka, which sells at a lower gross margin than imported alcohol
products, and higher sales of domestic vodka.
Sales, general and administrative expense increased 36.3% from $1.13
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.54 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. This increase is mainly due to the expansion of
sales noted above. As a percentage of net sales, sales, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 11.5% to 10.8% due to the higher volume
of sales through the existing distribution system.
Interest expense decreased $20,000 or 44% from $46,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 1998 to $26,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999.
This decrease is mainly due to the continued utilization of funds from the
Company's Initial Public Offering ("IPO") in July 1998. As a percentage of net
sales, interest expense decreased from 0.5% in 1998 to 0.2% in 1999.
Interest income was $85,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999
compared to $0.0 in the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Net realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions resulted in
gains of $31,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and losses of $103,000
in the three months ended March 31, 1999. The net loss in 1999 is
11
mainly due to the depreciation of the zloty, versus the U.S. dollar, in which a
substantial portion of the Company's assets are denominated.
Income tax expense increased $56,000, from $141,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 to $197,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999. This
increase is mainly due to the increase in income before income taxes from
$387,000 to $530,000, respectively.
The effective tax rate increased from 36% in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 to 37% in the three months ended March 31, 1999. This was due
mainly to an increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance in 1999. Statutory
tax rates in Poland decreased from 36% in 1998 to 34% in 1999. (See notes to the
consolidated condensed financial statements for further information on income
taxes).
Net income increased $87,000 or 35.3% from $246,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 to $333,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999. This
increase is due to the factors noted above.
STATEMENT OF LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's net cash balance increased by $258,000 in 1999 compared
to a decrease of $878,000 in the corresponding period of 1998. The increase in
1999 is primarily as a result of borrowings used partially to fund the
acquisition of MTC offset in part by the investment in MTC.
The net cash used in operating activities was $764,000 in the first
three monts of 1999 compared to $1.13 million used during the same period in
1998. This improvement is mainly due to higher net income and less working
capital required to finance inventories.
The net cash used in investing activities amounted to $3.07 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $1.3 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1998. Investing activities in 1999 consisit primarily of
the acquisition of MTC.
The net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended
March 31, 1999 was $4.09 million compared to net cash of $437,000 provided in
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The net proceeds from borrowings in 1999
were accountable for this increase. The borrowings were used for working capital
and the MTC acquisition.
12
STATEMENT ON INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
Inflation in Poland is projected at 8.0% for 1999, substantially lower
than previous years and therefore the impact on the financial statements in the
first three months of the year is less material than in previous years.
The share of purchases denominated in foreign currencies has decreased
resulting in lower foreign exchange exposure. However, the level of borrowing
denominated in US dollars has increased due to working capital requirements and
the acquisition of MTC. The zloty depreciated during January and February and
stabilized during March and since then it has appreciated slightly versus the
U.S. Dollar.
SEASONALITY
The Company's sales have been historically seasonal with over 56% of
the sales in 1997 occurring in the second half of the year, compared to nearly
60% in 1998, of which over 31% and over 35%, respectively occurred in the last
quarter. The higher leveraging of the business and effectiveness result in a
larger share of net profits earned in the second half of the year. In fiscal
1997 and 1998, over 75% and over 63% of net income, respectively were earned in
the second half of the year.
The first quarter has historically resulted in the lowest net sales and
profits.
The Company's working capital requirements are also seasonal and are
normally highest in the months of December and January. Liquidity then normally
improves as collections are made on the higher sales during the months of
November and December.
OTHER MATTERS
In March 1999 the Polish tax authorities in Warsaw assessed Value Add &
TAT ("VAT") of approximately $110,000 including penalties and penalty interest.
The assessment was made on the basis of alleged improper treatment of input and
output VAT on certain of the Company's transactions. The Company has appealed
the decision. The Management believes that the Company's case is defensible.
Therefore no accrual has been made in the financial statements.
The Company continues to be involved in litigation from time to time in
the ordinary course of business.
In management's opinion, the litigation in which the Company is
currently involved, individually and in the aggregate, is not material to the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
During March of 1999 the Company also finalizaed its acquisition of
Multi Trade Company paying approximately $2.9 million in cash and 254,230 shares
of restricted stock. The acquisition did not have a significant effect on
operating results for the 1999 quarter. In May the Company finalized the
acquisition of The Cellars of Fine Wines paying approximately $1.8 million and
100,000 shares of restricted stock.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company's software systems are Year 2000 compliant and were tested
in the fourth quarter of 1998. The compliance of the software systems is
guaranteed by the manufacturer of the software.
The Company is presently in the final stages of Year 2000
preparations. The Company has retained an independent consulting company to
review the compliance of its hardware and operating systems.
A preliminary report confirms that only a small number of
workstations are non compliant. The Company is planning to replace the hardware
in mid 1999 as part of systems upgrading at the estimated cost of $65,000.
Further, the Year 2000 compliant upgrade to Novell, the operating
system used by the Company, is
13
commercially available and will also be implemented in mid 1999 at an estimated
cost of $20,000.
The Company estimates that the total cost of completing the Year 2000
compliance will not exceed $100,000. The additional costs associated with year
2000 compliance over the last reporting period are due to recent acquisitions
and necessary systems integration.
Given the relatively small size of the Company's business with any
particular supplier or customer, the Company has not carried out compliance
tests with its suppliers or customers. Although it does not anticipate serious
problems, it cannot be certain about the effects on its business of the
uncertainty surrounding the compliance efforts of suppliers and customers.
The Company does not expect any disruptions in its operations as a
result of any failure by the Company to be in compliance with Year 2000
requirements. It has not yet developed a contingency plan, but plans to by
September 1999. The Company is reasonably confident that their compliance plan
will be sucessful but it cannot guarantee that all actions taken and planned
will effectively minimize exposure to Year 2000 related risks.
