                          Independence Brewing Company

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Independence Brewing Company (the Company) is a regional producer of fresh,
    high-quality, preservative-free, craft brewed ales, lagers, porters and
    seasonal beers. The Company competes with other beer and beverage companies
    not only for consumer acceptance and loyalty but also for shelf and tap
    space in retail establishments and for marketing focus by the Company's
    third-party wholesale distributors and their customers, all of which also
    distribute and sell other beers and alcoholic beverage products.

    The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is a business that is highly
    regulated and taxed at the federal, state and local levels. The Company's
    operations may be subject to more restrictive regulations and increased
    taxation by federal, state and governmental agencies than are those of
    non-alcohol related businesses.

    1.  Interim Financial Information

     The financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 1998 and for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and related footnote
     information are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring adjustments) have been made which, in the opinion of management,
     are necessary for a fair presentation. Results of operations for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results that may be expected for any future period.

    2.  Loss Per Common Share
 
    The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share,
    which eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) and
    requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS in conjunction with the
    disclosure of the methodology used in computing such EPS. Basic EPS excludes
    dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders
    by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
    EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities
    or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into
    common stock. Prior period EPS calculations have been restated to reflect
    the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Options and warrants are not considered 
    because they are antidilutive.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

    Inventories consist of the following:

     Options to purchase 65,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average
     exercise price of $1.96 per share were outstanding during the period. They
     were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the
     option exercise price was greater than the average market price.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

     1.   On February 4, 1998, the Company executed a term sheet with Whitetail
          Brewing, Inc. in which the parties agreed that the Company would
          receive an exclusive license of the trademark and logo for "Nittany
          Ale", a newly developed Whitetail Brewing product, for a five (5) year
          term, in consideration for which the Company agreed to pay the
          licensor a royalty for every case of Nittany Ale sold plus $10,000 in
          cash to release the licensed property from certain liens. In addition,
          the Company agreed to engage Wade E. Keech, President and founder of
          Whitetail Brewing, as exclusive sales representative of the Company in
          the central and western Pennsylvania regions for which Mr. Keech will
          receive commissions from the sales of all of the Company's products,
          including Nittany Ale. The Company has commenced sales of the Nittany
          Ale products and expects to execute definitive agreements 
          incorporating the foregoing terms by the end of the third quarter 
          of 1998.

          MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Gross sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $367,993, an increase
of 85% when compared to $199,475 for the comparable year-ago quarter. Gross
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $831,055, an increase of
84% when compared with $452,202 for the comparable year-ago period. The increase
in net sales from the comparable periods last year was due to increased sales
volume, specifically the continuation of case sales of Uncle ESB, the Company's
spring seasonal product, and from the introduction of both Betsy's Kristall
Wheat summer seasonal and the summer sampler pack, both of which were sold as a
bottled product. Sales increases were also attributed to the limited advertising
and heavy promotional campaigns begun earlier in the year.

Excise taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $13,207 as compared
with $8,881 for the comparable year ago quarter. Excise taxes for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 were $34,495 as compared with $23,497 for the
comparable year-ago period. Excise taxes as a percentage of sales for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 were approximately 4% as compared with 5% for
the comparable year-ago quarter. Excise taxes as a percentage of sales for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998 was approximately 4% as compared with
5% for the comparable year-ago period. The company pays federal and certain
local taxes on sales volume. Accordingly, as sales increase, excise taxes paid
by the Company will increase unless the Company increases shipments to
jurisdictions where local excise taxes are paid by the third party wholesale
distributor rather than the brewer, as is the case in Maryland and the District
of Columbia.

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $425,075 or
115% of sales, as compared to $259,990 or 130% of sales for the comparable
year-ago quarter. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 were $1,047,780 or 126% of sales as compared to $747,026 or 165% of sales
for the comparable year-ago period. The increase in cost of goods sold from the
comparable periods last year was due to higher raw materials costs as a result
of increased sales volume.

Advertising, promotional, and selling expenses for the quarter ended September
30, 1998 were $132,339 or 36% of sales, as compared to $218,671 or 110% of sales
for the comparable year-ago quarter. Advertising, promotional and selling
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $407,337 or 49% of
sales, as compared to $389,861 or 86% of sales for the same period last year.
The decrease in advertising expense from the comparable periods of a year-ago
were primarily due to the completion last year of a major advertising campaign
which was not renewed in 1998, that included billboard, magazine and radio
advertisements.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,

<PAGE>

1998 were $179,018 or 49% of net sales, as compared to $184,599 or 93% of sales
for the comparable year-ago quarter. General and administrative expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $523,385 or 63% of sales, as compared
to $666,770 or 147% for same period last year. The decrease in G&A expense from
the comparable periods of a year ago were due to decreases in amortization and
professional fees costs.

Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $7,924 as compared
to $11,648 for the comparable year-ago quarter. Interest expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 were $27,738 as compared to $2,982,122 for the
comparable year-ago period. Interest expense was substantially higher during the
first nine months of 1997 when compared to the same period in 1998 due to the
write-off of unamortized original issue discount and financing costs aggregating
approximately $2,916,256 in connection with the repayment of the Company's
debentures and series B preferred stock from the net proceeds of the Company's
initial public offering in the first quarter of 1997. The interest incurred for
the first nine months of 1998 is also associated with the Company's promissory
note in favor of CoreStates Bank, N.A. in connection with a Small Business
Administration loan (the "SBA Loan") and Philadelphia Industrial Development
Corporation notes ("PIDC Notes").

Other income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 was
$11,374 and $23,931 respectively, compared to $32,059 and $90,880 when compared
to the same periods of a year-ago. The decrease in other income, net from
comparable year-ago periods was primarily due a decline in interest income as
the Company's cash balance declined due to the funding of the Company's 
operating losses. 


                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 totaled $871,181 as compared to $1,322,530 for the comparable year-ago
period. The decrease in use of cash is a reflection that the Company's operating
loss for the first nine months of 1998 was substantially less than for the
comparable year-ago period.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
totaled $220,661 as compared to $830,266 for the same period last year. The
decrease in the use of cash was the result of a reduction of production
equipment purchases which was only partially offset by the cost of acquiring a
trademarks from America U-Brew and Blue Hen Beer.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 totaled $33,277 as compared to cash provided by financing operations 
$3,714,391 for the same period last year.Cash provided by financial activities 
was substantially higher in the first nine months in 1997 in comparison to the 
same period in 1998 due to net proceeds of $5,285,206 as a result of the 
Company's initial public offering during the first quarter of 1997 and a 
reduction of repayments of long-term debt from 1,579,815 in 1997 to 33,277 in 
1998.
