                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors
Polskie Hurtownie Alkoholi Sp. z o.o.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Polskie Hurtownie Alkoholi
Sp. z o.o. (formerly Jama Sp. z o.o.) as of December 31, 1998 and 1999 and the
related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Polskie Hurtownie Alkoholi Sp.
z o.o. at December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                      POLSKIE HURTOWNIE ALKOHOLI SP. Z O.O.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Polskie Hurtownie Alkoholi Sp. z o.o. ("PHA", "the Company", formerly "Jama Sp.
z o.o.") was organized on January 29, 1992 as a Polish limited liability company
with headquarters in Zielona Gora, Poland. PHA distributes alcoholic beverages,
mainly vodka throughout Poland and all activities are conducted within that
country.

Pursuant to Polish statutory requirements, PHA may pay annual dividends,
based on their audited Polish statutory financial statements, to the extent of
their retained earnings as defined. At December 31, 1999, substantially all
retained earnings were available for payment of dividends.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company are as
follows:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company maintains its books of account and prepares its statutory financial
statements in Polish zloties (PLN) in accordance with Polish statutory
requirements and the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared from the Polish accounting records for
presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("US GAAP"). The accompanying financial statements
differ from the financial statements issued for statutory purposes in Poland, in
that they reflect certain adjustments, not recorded in the PHA's books which are
appropriate to present the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows in accordance with US GAAP.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS

As stated above the Company maintains its accounting records in Polish zloties.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in US Dollars. For all
periods prior to January 1, 1998, transactions and balances not already measured
in US Dollars (primarily Polish zloties) were restated into US Dollars in
accordance with the relevant provisions of US Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation" as applied to entities in highly
inflationary economies.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company no longer considered Poland to be a
hyper-inflationary economy and it ceased accounting for its Polish activities
using provisions applicable to hyper-inflationary economies and has treated the
Polish z(3)oty as the functional currency. The financial statements as of
January 1, 1998 were adjusted for the effect of this which resulted in an
increase in property and equipment, deferred income taxes and accumulated other
comprehensive income. Since January 1, 1998 transactions and financial
statements have been translated to US Dollars using the current rate method as
per SFAS No. 52. Consequently all assets and liabilities have been translated to
US dollars using the rate in effect at the end of the period; income and
expenses are translated using the average rate during the period; capital
accounts are translated using historical rates. See the discussion below
regarding comprehensive income.

The exchange rate used on zloty denominated transactions and balances for
translation purposes as of December 31, 1998 and 1999 for one US dollar was 3.50
PLN and 4.15 PLN respectively. As of June 1, 2000 the rate had changed to 4.55
PLN.

                                                                               8

PROPERTY  AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Depreciation periods are as follows:

              TYPE                                DEPRECIATION LIFE IN YEARS
------------------------------------           ---------------------------------

Buildings                                                  25-40
Machinery and Equipment                                     2-5
Transportation Equipment                                    2-5
Other                                                       2-7

The Company periodically reviews property and equipment, when indicators of
impairment exist and if the value of the asset is impaired, an impairment loss
is recognized.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to customers.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market value. Cost includes customs duty and transportation costs. Inventories
are comprised primarily of spirits.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from
those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial
statements.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company provides certain "jubilee" benefits to its employees which are paid
periodically and are based on length of service. Additionally, pursuant to
Polish labor laws, the Company is required to pay a bonus of one month's salary
to employees upon retirement. The estimated liability for these benefits is
accrued on a current basis.

INCOME TAXES

The Company computes and records income taxes in accordance with the liability
method.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This standard requires the
disclosure of comprehensive income which is defined as all changes in equity
during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. Comprehensive income includes net income adjusted by,
among other items, foreign currency translation adjustments.

As disclosed in this Note 2, until January 1, 1998, the Company remeasured
transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 52 as applied to entities in highly
inflationary economies. Therefore, exchange gains and losses arising from
remeasurements of these monetary assets and liabilities were credited or charged
to net income. However, in 1998 and subsequently since Poland was no longer
considered a highly inflationary economy, the foreign translation losses on the
remeasurements from Polish zloties to US dollars are classified as a separate
component of shareholders' equity as "accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss)".

                                                                               9

The Company's second DEM denominated loan was also paid in 1999. The interest on
this loan is at the six month DEM Libor rate plus 2.5% (5.96% at December 31,
1998). The amount payable under the loan was $37,000 at December 31, 1998. This
loan was collateralized by motor vehicles and the authorization to the Company's
current bank account.

The Company has a $100,000 USD denominated loan which is due in one installment
of $2,805 and 35 equal, monthly installments of $2,777 from February 1999 to
October 2001. The amount payable under the loan was $ 100,000 and $67,000 at
December 31, 1998 and 1999 respectively. The interest on this loan is the six
month USD Libor rate plus 2%. At December 31, 1998 and 1999 the interest rate

6. SHORT-TERM DEBT, OVERDRAFT FACILITIES AND BILLS OF EXCHANGE

The Company has overdraft facilities ranging from PLN 500,000 to PLN 1,300,000
during 1998 and 1999. Borrowings under these facilities were made at various
levels during each year; interest is at the bank's prime rate plus 1.5%. The
borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1999 (there were no outstanding
borrowings at December 31, 1998) were secured by an authorization to the
Company's current bank account. The 1999 facility matured in March 2000 at which
time it was renewed for a period of one year. The interest on this loan is at
bank prime rate plus 1.5% (at the date of the agreement, 10 March 2000, the full
interest rate was 19.66% p.a.). The loan is collateralized by authorization to
the Company's current account.

The weighted average interest rate on overdraft facilities at December 31, 1998
and 1999 was 17.98% and 16.14% respectively.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH ON-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND THEIR FAIR VALUES

Financial instruments with on-balance sheet risk include cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, certain other current assets, trade accounts
payable, bank loans and overdraft facilities, long-term debt and other payables.
These financial instruments are shown separately in the balance sheets and their
carrying values approximate their fair values. This is because substantially all
of these financial instruments have short maturity periods or carry interest at
rates which approximate current market rates.

                                                                              12

               (amounts in columns expressed in thousands of USD)

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable from Polish companies. The
Company restricts temporary cash investments to financial institutions with high
credit standing. Credit is given to customers only after a thorough review of
their credit worthiness. The Company does not normally require collateral with
respect to credit sales. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, the Company had no
significant concentrations of credit risk. The Company has not experienced large
credit losses in the past.

INFLATION AND CURRENCY RISK

Since the fall of Communist rule in 1989, Poland has experienced high levels of
inflation and significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the zloty. The
Polish government has adopted policies that slowed the annual rate of inflation
from approximately 250% in 1990 to approximately 8.5% in 1998 and 9.8% in 1999.
In addition, the exchange rate for the zloty had been stable prior to 1999 and
the rate of devaluation of the zloty was decreasing. This trend was reversed in
1999 and continues to move adversely in 2000. Inflation and currency exchange
fluctuations have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

A portion of Company's accounts payable, bank loans and operating expenses are
expected to continue to be, denominated in or indexed to the U.S. Dollar or
other non-Polish denominated currency. By contrast, substantially all of the
Company's revenue is denominated in Polish zloty. Any devaluation of the zloty
against the U.S. Dollar or other currencies that the Company is unable to offset
through price adjustments will require the Company to use a larger portion of
its revenue to service its non-zloty denominated obligations.

SUPPLY CONTRACTS

The Company has various agreements covering its sources of supply. Some of them
may be terminated by either party on relatively short notice. Thus, there is a
risk that some portion of the Company's supply of products could be curtailed at
any time.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company's tax liabilities (including corporate income tax, Value Added Tax
(VAT), social security and other taxes) may be subject to examinations by Polish
tax authorities for up to five years from the end of the year the tax is
payable. As the application of tax laws and regulations and transactions are
susceptible to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the financial
statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax
authorities.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 31, 2000, the shareholders of the Company sold one hundred percent of
their shares to Central European Distribution Corporation (CEDC), a United
States company and to it's wholly-owned subsidiary Carey Agri International
Poland. The sales price was approximately $4.0 million cash and 268,126
unregistered newly issued common shares of CEDC, with a 3-year restriction on
sale.

On March 29, 2000 in contemplation of the sale of the Company, all the buildings
owned by the Company were sold to Jama S.C. a partnership established by the
three stockholders of the Company. The sales price of $1,060,000 has not been
paid as of June 1, 2000.

On March 29, a dividend of $ 1,060 million was declared with respect to prior
years earnings. The dividend is to be paid over six consecutive months, starting
April 2000, to date two payments have been made.

                                                                              13

              Ended March 31, 2000 amounts in columns expressed in
                thousands of USD (except per share information)

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statement information set
for below for Central European Distribution (CEDC) and Polskie Hurtownie
Alkoholi Sp. z o.o. gives effect to the purchase on March 31, 2000 of PHA by
CEDC as if it had been completed on January 1, 1999 and the year ended December
31, 1999 and the three month period ended March 31, 2000. The data is subject to
the assumptions and adjustments in the accompanying notes to the pro forma
income statements. CEDC has accounted for the acquisition of PHA as a purchase.

The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of CEDC included in its Annual 1999 Report on Form 10K and
its Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, which are
on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and the historical
financial statements of PHA for 1999 and 1998, included herein.

The pro forma adjustments do not reflect operating efficiencies and cost savings
that may be achievable with respect to the newly acquired company. The pro forma
adjustments do not include any adjustments to historical operating data for
future changes in selling prices, or operating changes except for the
elimination of costs and expenses applicable to buildings not acquired by CEDC.

The following information is not necessarily indicative of the operating results
that would have occurred had the purchase been consummated at the beginning of
each of the periods presented. The pro forma adjustments are based on the
purchase method of accounting and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes
hereto.

A final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments, including the
allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their respective estimated fair values, will be made after completion
of the escrow period on August 31, 2000 and upon receipt of an independent
valuation. Accordingly, the purchase accounting adjustment and the following pro
forma income statement information may be revised. CEDC currently knows of no
events that would require a substantial change to the preliminary purchase price
allocation.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENTS

1.  These columns represent historical results of operations as follows:

    CEDC  - consolidated results for 1999 and quarter ended March 31, 2000.

    PHA   - historical results for 1999 and quarter ended March 31, 2000.


2.   On March 31, 2000 CEDC purchased the outstanding shares of PHA. Total
     consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:

                                                                   $
     Cash consideration to stockholders                        4,000

     Acquisition costs (estimated)                                90
                                                              ------
                                                              $5,368
                                                              ======

     The CEDC common stock was valued at the average share price ($4.77) a few
     days before and after the acquisition closing date. The shares issued are
     not registered and may not be sold without the consent of CEDC for three
     years subsequent to the acquisition. The average share price was reduced
     10% for lack of current marketability of this stock.

                                                                              15

                      CENTRAL EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTION COMPANY
     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION
         For the Year Ended December 31, 1999 and the Three Month Period
              Ended March 31, 2000 amounts in columns expressed in
                 thousands of USD (except per share information)


     The calculation of the excess of cost of the acquisition over the estimated
     fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) is as follows:

                                                                        $

      (date of acquisition-March 31, 2000)                            122
     Estimated fair value adjustments for assets acquired
      (including identified intangible assets)                        nil
                                                                   ------
     Preliminary goodwill                                          $5,490
                                                                   ======

     Goodwill is to be amortized over a period of 20 years. The amortization
     period of goodwill of 20 years is based upon the expected useful life and
     other factors considered by management in determining the appropriate
     amortization periods such as legal and regulatory issues, and anticipated
     market demand and competition. CEDC will evaluate the period of
     amortization continually to determine whether later events and
     circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The allocation of
     the excess purchase price to goodwill may be revised when the Company
     receives an independent valuation of the business acquired and upon
     completion of the escrow period.

3.   Reflects effect of elimination of sales and cost of sales between CEDC and
     PHA during the periods ended -

                December 31, 1999                                     $132
                March 31, 2000                                         nil

4.   CEDC did not acquire any of the PHA buildings. As a result CEDC entered
     into a lease agreement with the newly established partnership of Jama S.C.
     (former stockholders of PHA) to lease the buildings for an unspecified
     period. This pro forma entry reflects the elimination with respect to the
     depreciation of the building and the addition of rent expense on the lease
     referred to above. Depreciation in the amount of $83,000 and $21,000 has
     been reduced for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three month
     period ended March 31, 2000 respectively. Rent expense of $160,000 and
     $40,000 has been recognized for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for
     the three month period ended March 31, 2000, respectively.

     Additionally, real estate taxes and maintenance costs applicable to the
     buildings were eliminated, the expenses eliminated were $ 55,000 and $
     13,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and three month period ended
     March 31, 2000, respectively.

5.   Represents the amortization of preliminary goodwill. The amortization
     amount was $275,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $69,000 for
     the period ended March 31, 2000, respectively.

6.   This entry represents recognition of additional interest expense on the
     borrowings ($4,000,000) to fund the cash paid to the stockholders of PHA
     (see Note 2). Interest expense was calculated using an interest rate of
     7.89% which approximates the actual rate for 1999 and for period ended
     March 31, 2000. The interest rate charged on the loan LIBOR plus 1.65%,
     which is 6.22% at March 31, 2000. The loan is repayable in quarterly
     installments of $510,000 commencing June 2001.

                                                                              16
