      The following table sets forth unaudited pro forma consolidated statements
of income of the Company for the nine month periods ended May 31, 1995 and 1994.
The nine month pro forma consolidated  statements of income for the period ended
May 31, 1994, gives effect to the Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition and the Vintners
Acquisition  as if they  occurred on September 1, 1993.  The unaudited pro forma
consolidated  statements of income are presented  after giving effect to certain
adjustments for depreciation,  amortization of goodwill, interest expense on the
acquisition financing and related income tax effects. The pro forma consolidated
statements of income are based upon  currently  available  information  and upon
certain   assumptions   that  the   Company   believes   reasonable   under  the
circumstances. The pro forma consolidated statements of income do not purport to
represent what the Company's  results of operations  would actually have been if
the  aforementioned  transactions  in fact had  occurred  on such date or at the
beginning of the period  indicated  and do not purport to project the  Company's
financial position or results of operations at any future date or for any future
period.

9)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

Stock offering-

      During  November  1994, the Company  completed a public  offering and sold
3,000,000  shares of its Class A Common  Stock  resulting in net proceeds to the
Company  of  approximately   $95,428,000  after   underwriters'   discounts  and
commissions and estimated expenses. In connection with the offering,  options to
purchase  432,067 shares of Class A Common Stock,  issued in connection with the
Vintners  Acquisition,  were  exercised  and the  Company  received  proceeds of
$7,885,000.  Under  the terms of the  amended  Credit  Agreement,  approximately
$82,000,000  was used to repay a portion  of the Term Loan  under the  Company's
Credit Agreement. The balance of net proceeds was used to repay Revolving Credit
Loans under the Credit Facility.


10) THE RESTRUCTURING PLAN:

      The  Company  provided  for costs to  restructure  the  operations  of its
California  wineries (the  Restructuring  Plan) in the fourth  quarter of fiscal
1994.  Under the  Restructuring  Plan,  all bottling  operations  at the Central
Cellars Winery in Lodi, California,  and the branded wine bottling operations at
the  Monterey  Cellars  Winery  in  Gonzales,  California,  will be moved to the
Mission  Bell Winery  located in Madera,  California,  which was acquired by the
Company in the  Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition.  The  Company  anticipates  that
implementation of the  Restructuring  Plan will result in approximately 260 jobs
being eliminated. As of May 31, 1995, employment has been reduced by 153 persons
and no  facilities  have been  closed.  The Company  has a remaining  accrual of
approximately  $6,632,000  and  $9,106,000  at May 31, 1995 and August 31, 1994,
respectively,  relating to the  Restructuring  Plan. The Company expects to have
the Restructuring Plan fully implemented by the end of fiscal 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
           of  Operations

Results of Operations of the Company

         The Company has realized  significant growth in sales and profitability
over recent years primarily as a result of  acquisitions.  The Company  acquired
the outstanding capital stock of Barton Incorporated ("Barton") on June 29, 1993
(the "Barton  Acquisition"),  the assets of Vintners International Company, Inc.
("Vintners") on October 15, 1993 (the "Vintners Acquisition"),  and the Almaden,
Inglenook and other brands, a grape juice  concentrate  product line and related
assets from Heublein, Inc. (the "Almaden/Inglenook  Product Lines") on August 5,
1994 (the "Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition"). The Company's results of operations
for the nine months  ended May 31, 1994  include  the results of  operations  of
Vintners from October 15, 1993, the date of the Vintners Acquisition,  until the
end of the period.  The Company's results of operations for the quarter and nine
months   ended  May  31,  1995  include  the  results  of   operations   of  the
Almaden/Inglenook Product Lines for the complete periods.

         On March 22, 1995,  the Company  announced  that its spirits  division,
Barton Incorporated,  and United Distillers  Glenmore,  Inc. ("UDG") had entered
into a letter of intent under which the Company,  through its spirits  division,
will purchase from UDG certain assets including rights to the Fleischmann, Skol,
Mr. Boston, Canadian Ltd., Old Thompson, Kentucky Tavern, Chi-Chi's and di Amore
spirits brands;  the U.S. rights to the Inver House,  Glenmore,  Schenley and El
Toro spirits brands; and two production  facilities and related  inventories and
assets. In addition,  the parties will enter into various multi-year  agreements
under which UDG will supply the Company  with bulk  spirits and the Company will
provide various  services to UDG,  including the packaging of various UDG brands
at the Owensboro,  Kentucky facility,  one of the facilities to be acquired from
UDG, and at the Company's  Carson,  California  facility,  at which facility the
Company currently packages various UDG brands (the "Proposed Acquisition").  The
Proposed  Acquisition  is  subject  to,  among  other  matters,  negotiation  of
definitive  agreements,  receipt of  regulatory  approvals  and  approval of the
parties'  respective  boards of  directors.  In  addition,  consummation  of the
Proposed  Acquisition  will require  financing and the obtaining of  appropriate
consents from the banking  syndicate under its Credit Facility (as defined below
under  "Financial  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources").  The  Company is in the
process  of  finalizing  the terms of an  amendment  to its Credit  Facility  to
finance the Proposed Acquisition  primarily through an increase to its Term Loan
Credit  Facility.  The Company does not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining
such  financing.   The  Company  believes  that  consummation  of  the  Proposed
Acquisition  will be significant to the Company and will have a material  impact
on the Company's future results of operations. The Company further believes that
consummation  of the Proposed  Acquisition  will  significantly  strengthen  the
Company's  position  in the United  States  spirits  industry  by  approximately
doubling  the  Company's  existing  spirits  market  share  and by adding to the
Company's  portfolio of product  lines in the cordial and liqueur  categories in
which the Company does not currently have significant participation. The Company
is completing the negotiation of definitive  agreements and expects to close the
Proposed Acquisition in late fiscal 1995 or early fiscal 1996.

         The  following  table sets forth,  for the periods  indicated,  certain
items  in  the  Company's  consolidated  statements  of  income  expressed  as a
percentage of net sales:

</TABLE>

Three  Months  Ended May 31, 1995  ("Third  Quarter  1995")  Compared to Three
Months  Ended May 31, 1994  ("Third Quarter 1994")

         Net Sales

         Net sales for the  Company's  Third  Quarter  1995  increased to $222.8
million  from  $154.2  million  for Third  Quarter  1994,  an  increase of $68.6
million,  or  approximately  44%.  This  increase  resulted  primarily  from the
inclusion  of  $57.8   million  of  net  sales  of  products   acquired  in  the
Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition. Net sales also benefited from increased net sales
of the Company's imported beers (primarily Mexican brands),  varietal table wine
brands and non-branded products. Excluding the impact of the net sales resulting
from the Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition during Third Quarter 1995, the Company's
net sales increased $10.7 million,  or approximately  6.9%, as compared to Third
Quarter  1994,  primarily  due to  increased  sales of imported  beer brands and
varietal table wine brands.

         For  purposes of  computing  the net sales and unit volume  comparative
data below, sales of products acquired in the Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition have
been  included in the entire  period for Third Quarter 1995 and included for the
same period during Third Quarter 1994, which was prior to the  Almaden/Inglenook
Acquisition.

         Net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  branded  beverage  alcohol
products  for Third  Quarter  1995  increased  8.6% and 9.0%,  respectively,  as
compared to Third Quarter 1994.  This increase was  principally due to increased
net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  imported  beer brands and  varietal
table wine brands.

         Net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  branded wine  products for
Third Quarter 1995 increased 2.3% and decreased 0.5%, respectively,  as compared
to Third Quarter 1994.  Branded wine products net sales increased  primarily due
to higher sales of varietal table wine brands,  which have higher selling prices
than the average for the Company's  branded wine  products.  The volume  decline
resulted primarily from a decrease in non-varietal and dessert wines, offsetting
the varietal table wine improvement.

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's  varietal  table wine brands
for Third Quarter 1995 increased 34.6% and 37.6%,  respectively,  as compared to
Third Quarter 1994, reflecting increases in many of the Company's varietal table
wine  brands  due to,  among  other  things,  line  extensions  and new  product
introductions.  Net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  non-varietal  table
wine  brands for the same  periods  were down 5.7% and 7.4%,  respectively.  Net
sales  and unit  volume  of  sparkling  wine  brands  decreased  5.8% and  7.6%,
respectively, in Third Quarter 1995 as compared to Third Quarter 1994. Net sales
and unit volume of the Company's  dessert wine brands were down 12.2% and 12.4%,
respectively, in Third Quarter 1995 as compared to Third Quarter 1994.

         Net  sales and unit  volume  of the  Company's  beer  brands  for Third
Quarter 1995  increased by 30.4% and 29.3%,  respectively,  as compared to Third
Quarter 1994.  These  increases  resulted  primarily from increased sales of the
Company's Corona brand and its other Mexican beer brands.

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's spirits case goods for Third
Quarter 1995 decreased 9.2% and 0.7% respectively,  as compared to Third Quarter
1994.  This  decrease  in net sales and unit volume was  primarily  due to lower
sales of the  Company's  aged  whiskeys  (i.e.,  bourbon,  Scotch,  blended  and
Canadian  whiskeys) and gin brands,  partially offset by higher sales of tequila
and mezcal.

         Gross Profit

         Gross  profit  increased  to $63.3  million in Third  Quarter 1995 from
$42.8  million  in  Third  Quarter  1994,  an  increase  of  $20.5  million,  or
approximately  48%. This increase in gross profit resulted from the inclusion of
the operations of the Almaden/Inglenook Product Lines with those of the Company,
as well as strong growth in imported  beer brands.  Gross profit as a percentage
of net sales  increased  to 28.4% for Third  Quarter  1995 from  27.7% for Third
Quarter 1994.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $38.8 million
in Third  Quarter 1995 from $27.4  million in Third Quarter 1994, an increase of
$11.4  million,  or 42%. This increase  resulted  from the  additional  selling,
general and administrative  expenses  associated with the sales and marketing of
the  products  acquired  in  the  Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition  and  increased
advertising and promotion  expenditures for Vintners' products.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 17.4% in
Third Quarter 1995 as compared to 17.8% in Third Quarter 1994.

         Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

         The Company  previously  announced a plan to restructure the operations
of its California  wineries (the  "Restructuring  Plan"). The Restructuring Plan
will  enable  the  Company  to  realize   significant   cost  savings  from  the
consolidation  of  existing  facilities  and  the  facilities  acquired  in  the
Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition.  Under  the  Restructuring  Plan,  all  bottling
operations at the Central  Cellars Winery in Lodi,  California,  and the branded
wine bottling operations at the Monterey Cellars Winery in Gonzales, California,
are being moved to the Mission Bell Winery located in Madera, California,  which
was acquired by the Company in the Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition.  The Monterey
Cellars  Winery will continue to be used as a crushing,  winemaking and contract
bottling  facility.  The  Central  Cellars  Winery and the  Company's  winery in
Soledad,  California  are being  closed and offered  for sale to reduce  surplus
capacity.  The Company anticipates that implementation of the Restructuring Plan
will  result in  approximately  260 jobs  being  eliminated.  As a result of the
Restructuring  Plan, in addition to a  restructuring  charge taken in the fourth
quarter of fiscal  1994 and in first and second  quarters  of fiscal  1995,  the
Company  incurred  additional  expenses  related to the  restructuring  in Third
Quarter 1995 of $968,400,  which reduced after-tax income for Third Quarter 1995
by $595,600,  or $0.03 per share on a fully diluted basis.  During Third Quarter
1995,  employment was reduced by 132 persons. This brings the total reduction of
employment  to 153  persons.  As of May 31, 1995,  production  has ceased at the
Central Cellars  Winery;  however,  no facilities have been closed.  The Company
expects to have the  Restructuring  Plan fully  implemented by the end of fiscal
1995. The Company  anticipates  that the  Restructuring  Plan will result in net
cost  savings of  approximately  $1.7  million in fiscal 1995 and  approximately
$13.3  million  of  annual  net cost  savings  beginning  in fiscal  1996.  (See
"Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources.")

         Interest Expense, Net

         Net interest  expense  increased  $1.6 million to $6.2 million in Third
Quarter 1995,  as compared to $4.6 million in Third Quarter 1994.  This increase
resulted primarily from borrowings related to the Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition.

         Net Income

         Net income  increased to $10.6  million in Third Quarter 1995 from $6.6
million in Third  Quarter  1994,  an increase  of $4.0  million,  or 61%.  Fully
diluted  earnings per share  increased to $0.53 in Third Quarter 1995 from $0.41
in Third  Quarter  1994,  a 29%  improvement.  The  increase  in net  income  is
primarily due to the contributions of the Almaden and Inglenook brands and other
products  acquired in the  Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition and growth in imported
beer brands. These contributions to net income more than offset the $1.6 million
of  additional  pretax net interest  expense in Third  Quarter 1995 arising from
borrowings related to the Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition. Excluding the impact of
a  nonrecurring  restructuring  charge of  $968,400  before  taxes,  net  income
increased to $11.2 million or $0.56 of  fully-diluted  earnings per common share
for Third Quarter 1995.

     Nine Months Ended May 31, 1995 ("Nine Months of Fiscal  1995")  Compared to
Nine Months Ended May 31, 1994 ("Nine Months of Fiscal 1994")

         Net Sales

     Net sales for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995  increased  to $677.3  million
from $448.7  million for the Nine Months of Fiscal  1994,  an increase of $228.6
million,  or approximately 51%. This increase resulted from the inclusion of (i)
$185.6  million  of net  sales of  products  acquired  in the  Almaden/Inglenook
Acquisition;  (ii)  an  overall  increase  in net  sales  of  Company  products,
excluding  the impact of the net sales of  products  that were  acquired  during
fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995; and (iii) an additional  $16.4 million of net sales
of  Vintners'  products  resulting  from  inclusion  of  these  products  in the
Company's  portfolio for the entire first quarter of fiscal 1995 versus only six
weeks  in the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1994.  Excluding  the  impact  of the
additional six weeks of net sales of Vintners' products during the first quarter
of fiscal  1995 and all of the net sales  resulting  from the  Almaden/Inglenook
Acquisition  during the Nine  Months of Fiscal  1995,  the  Company's  net sales
increased $26.5 million, or 5.9%, as compared to the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994.
This was  principally  due to  increased  net sales of imported  beer brands and
varietal table wines.

         For  purposes of  computing  the net sales and unit volume  comparative
data below,  sales of products  acquired in the Vintners  and  Almaden/Inglenook
Acquisitions  have been  included  in the entire  period for the Nine  Months of
Fiscal 1995 and  included  for the same period  during the Nine Months of Fiscal
1994, part of which was prior to the Vintners Acquisition,  and all of which was
prior to the Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition.

         Net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  branded  beverage  alcohol
products for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 each  increased  6.0% as compared to
the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994.  This increase was  principally due to increased
net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  imported  beer brands and  varietal
table wine brands.

         Net sales and unit volume of the  Company's  branded wine  products for
the  Nine  Months  of  Fiscal  1995   increased   slightly  and  declined  2.2%,
respectively,  as  compared  to the Nine Months of Fiscal  1994.  These  changes
resulted from increased sales of the Company's varietal table wine brands, which
have higher  selling  prices than the average  for the  Company's  branded  wine
products.

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's  varietal  table wine brands
for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 increased 22.3% and 22.5%,  respectively,  as
compared to the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994,  reflecting increases in most of the
Company's varietal table wine brands due to, among other things, line extensions
and new  product  introductions.  Net  sales and unit  volume  of the  Company's
non-varietal table wine brands for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 decreased 3.9%
and 5.6%, respectively, as compared to the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994. Net sales
and unit volume of the  Company's  sparkling  wine brands for the Nine Months of
Fiscal 1995  decreased  10.4% and 12.1%,  respectively,  as compared to the Nine
Months of Fiscal 1994.  Net sales and unit volume of the Company's  dessert wine
brands  for  the  Nine  Months  of  Fiscal  1995   decreased   7.2%  and  10.1%,
respectively, as compared to the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994.

         Net sales and unit  volume of the  Company's  beer  brands for the Nine
Months of Fiscal 1995 increased  26.9% and 26.4%,  respectively,  as compared to
the Nine  Months  of  Fiscal  1994.  These  increases  resulted  primarily  from
increased sales of the Company's Corona brand and its other Mexican beer brands.

         Net sales and unit volume of the Company's  spirits brands for the Nine
Months of Fiscal 1995  decreased  3.3%,  and increased  0.1%,  respectively,  as
compared  to the Nine Months of Fiscal  1994.  The  Company's  spirits net sales
decreased  for aged  whiskeys  (i.e.,  bourbon,  Scotch,  Canadian  and  blended
whiskeys). Tequila, vodka and mezcal net sales and unit volume increased for the
Nine Months of Fiscal 1995.

         Gross Profit

         Gross  profit for the Nine  Months of Fiscal 1995  increased  to $190.1
million from $129.1  million for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994,  an increase of
$61.0 million,  or approximately  47%. This increase resulted from the inclusion
of the  Almaden/Inglenook  Product  Lines  with those of the  Company,  and to a
lesser extent from increased  sales of imported beer brands and the inclusion of
Vintners' product lines with those of the Company. The Company's gross profit as
a percentage of net sales  decreased to 28.1% for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995
from  28.8% for the Nine  Months of Fiscal  1994.  The  Company's  gross  profit
percentage  decreased as a result of (i) the inclusion of operations acquired in
the  Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition,  which had a lower gross profit  percentage
than the  Company's  operations  prior to that  Acquisition;  (ii) reduced gross
profit  percentages  on the  Company's  table wine  brands due to lower  selling
prices and higher cost of goods sold associated  with some of these brands;  and
(iii)  the  impact of the  increase  in sales of  imported  beer  brands,  which
generally have a lower gross profit  percentage than the Company's other branded
products.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  for the Nine Months of
Fiscal 1995  increased to $118.8  million from $87.1 million for the Nine Months
of Fiscal  1994,  an increase  of $31.7  million,  or  approximately  36%.  This
increase  resulted from the additional  expenses  associated  with the sales and
marketing  of the  products  acquired  in  the  Almaden/Inglenook  and  Vintners
Acquisitions, partially offset by increased efficiencies and economies of scale.
As a  percentage  of net sales,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses
decreased  to 17.5% for the Nine  Months of Fiscal 1995 as compared to 19.4% for
the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994.

         Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

         As a result of the  Restructuring  Plan, in addition to a restructuring
charge  taken in the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  1994,  the  Company  incurred
additional  expenses related to the restructuring in the first, second and third
quarters  of fiscal  1995,  which have  amounted  to  $1,653,000  and which have
reduced  after-tax  income for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 by $1,017,000,  or
$0.05 per  share on a fully  diluted  basis.  (See  "Nonrecurring  Restructuring
Expenses" under Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1994 and "Financial
Liquidity and Capital Resources.")
<PAGE>



         Interest Expense, Net

         Net interest  expense  increased  $6.5 million to $19.3  million in the
Nine Months of Fiscal 1995,  as compared to the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994.  The
increase  is  primarily   due  to   borrowings   related  to  the  Vintners  and
Almaden/Inglenook Acquisitions.

         Net Income

         Net  income  for the Nine  Months of  Fiscal  1995  increased  to $30.9
million from $18.0  million for the Nine Months of Fiscal  1994,  an increase of
$12.9 million,  or approximately 72%. Fully diluted earnings per share increased
to $1.63 in the Nine  Months of Fiscal  1995  from  $1.13 in the Nine  Months of
Fiscal  1994,  a 44%  improvement.  The  increase  in net  income  is due to the
contributions of the Almaden and Inglenook brands and other products acquired in
the  Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition  and to  increased  sales of  imported  beer
brands. These factors more than offset the $6.5 million of additional pretax net
interest  expense in the Nine  Months of Fiscal  1995  arising  from  borrowings
related to the Vintners and Almaden/Inglenook Acquisitions.


Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

         General

         The Company's principal use of cash in its operating  activities is for
purchasing  and carrying  inventories of raw materials and finished  goods.  The
Company's  primary  source of  liquidity  has  historically  been cash flow from
operations,  except  during the annual fall grape  harvest  when the Company has
relied on  short-term  borrowings.  The annual  grape crush  normally  begins in
August and continues through  November.  The Company generally begins purchasing
grapes  in  August  with  payments  for  such  grapes  beginning  to come due in
September.  The  Company's  short-term  borrowings  to  support  such  purchases
generally reach their highest levels in November or December.  Historically, the
Company has used cash flow from operations to repay its short-term borrowings.

Cash Flows - Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1994

         Cash Flows from Operating Activities

         Net cash  provided by operating  activities  in Third  Quarter 1995 was
$28.1  million,  an increase of 109% as compared  to Third  Quarter  1994.  This
increase was principally the result of higher net income,  higher net reductions
in  inventory  as a result of  newly-acquired  volume and a decrease in accounts
receivable,  when compared to Third Quarter 1994. 

<PAGE>


         Cash Flows from Investing Activities

         Capital expenditures for the Company increased in Third Quarter 1995 to
$9.0 million as compared to $2.5 million in Third Quarter 1994,  principally due
capital expenditures associated with the Restructuring Plan coupled with
expenditures  related to newly  acquired  facilities.

         Cash Flows from Financing Activities

         Notes Payable (which represent borrowings under the Company's Revolving
Loans) were reduced $7.0 million in Third  Quarter 1995 through the  application
of cash  provided  by  operating  activities.  There were no  outstanding  Notes
Payable on May 31, 1995.  Principal payments of long-term debt increased to $7.1
million in Third Quarter 1995 from $2.0 million in Third Quarter 1994 due to the
higher quarterly loan repayments  required under the Credit Facility (as defined
below).

Cash Flows - Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 Compared to Nine Months of Fiscal 1994

         Cash Flows from Operating Activities

         Net cash used by operating activities in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995
was $8.1  million,  compared to $10.7 million in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994
which  included a $4.0  million  "Earn-Out"  (as defined  below)  payment to the
former Barton stockholders. The net expenditure during the Nine Months of Fiscal
1995  results  principally  from a $28.3  million  Earn-Out  payment made to the
former  Barton  stockholders  in  December,  1994  (the  "Barton  Payment")  and
inventory purchases associated with the annual fall grape harvest.  Exclusive of
the Barton  Payment,  in the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995,  the Company would have
generated cash from operating  activities due to significantly higher net income
after adjustment for non-cash items.

         Cash Flows from Investing Activities

         Capital  expenditures  for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1995  increased to
$20.3 million from $5.3 million for the Nine Months of Fiscal 1994,  principally
due to capital expenditures associated with the Restructuring Plan coupled with
expenditures  related  to newly  acquired  facilities.

         Cash Flows from Financing Activities

         Notes  Payable  were  reduced by $19.0  million  in the Nine  Months of
Fiscal 1995 through the  application  of $22.1  million from the  Offerings  (as
defined  below) and $47.0  million  from the  proceeds of  additional  long-term
borrowings  offset by net  borrowings  of $50.1  million  during this period for
seasonal working capital needs, capital expenditures and the Barton Payment.

         Debt,  other than Notes  Payable,  decreased  $49.6 million in the Nine
Months of Fiscal 1995, due to scheduled debt repayments of $14.6 million and the
use of $82.0 million of proceeds  from the  Offerings to prepay debt,  offset by
additional Term Loan borrowings of $47.0 million under the Credit Facility.  The
additional  long-term  borrowings were used to finance capital  expenditures and
the incremental buildup of working capital associated with the Almaden/Inglenook
Acquisition.

         As of May  31,  1995,  under  its  Credit  Facility,  the  Company  had
outstanding Term Loans of $128.0 million,  no outstanding  Revolving Loans, $2.8
million of Revolving Letters of Credit and $25.0 million under the Barton Letter
of Credit (as defined  below).  As of May 31, 1995,  under the Credit  Facility,
$182.2 million of Revolving Loans were available to be drawn by the Company.

Stock Offering

         On November 18, 1994, the Company  completed a public sale of 3,937,744
shares of its Class A Common  Stock at a price to the public of $33.50 per share
in simultaneous United States and international offerings (the "Offerings").  Of
the total number of shares sold in the Offerings, three million shares were sold
by the Company (the  "Shares") and 937,744  shares were sold by certain  selling
stockholders.  The Company did not receive any of the proceeds  from the sale of
Class A Stock owned individually by those selling stockholders. The Company used
the proceeds, net of underwriters'  discounts and commissions,  from the sale of
the Shares,  which  amounted to $96.3  million,  together  with $7.8  million of
proceeds it received from certain of the selling stockholders in connection with
their exercise of options to purchase  432,067  shares of the Company's  Class A
Common Stock,  which options were issued to them in connection with the Vintners
Acquisition,  to repay indebtedness  under the Credit Facility.  On November 21,
1994,  Term  Loans in the amount of $82.0  million  and  Revolving  Loans in the
amount of $22.1 million were prepaid with the proceeds from the Offerings.

The Company's Credit Facility

         The Company and a syndicate  of 21 banks for which The Chase  Manhattan
Bank,  N.A. acts as agent,  entered into a Second  Amendment and Restatement (as
amended)  dated as of August  5, 1994 of  Amendment  and  Restatement  of Credit
Agreement dated June 29, 1993 (the "Credit Facility").  As of June 30, 1995, the
Company's  Credit Facility  provides for (i) a $121.0 million Term Loan facility
due in December 1999; (ii) a $185 million Revolving Loan credit facility,  which
expires in June 2000;  and (iii) and an existing  $25.0 million letter of credit
related to the Barton  Acquisition  (the "Barton  Letter of Credit").  Quarterly
principal payments of $7.0 million are required under the Credit Facility,  with
a final quarterly  principal payment of $2.0 million due in December 1999. As of
June 30,  1995,  the Company had $121.0  million of Term Loans and no  Revolving
Loans outstanding  under the Credit Facility.  The Term Loans borrowed under the
Credit  Facility  may be either base rate loans or  eurodollar  base rate loans.
Base rate loans have an interest  rate equal to the higher of either the Federal
Funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate.  Eurodollar rate loans currently have an
interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0%. As of June 30, 1995,  the interest rates
for base rate and eurodollar rate loans were 9.0% and 7.0%, respectively.

Payments to Former Barton Stockholders

         Pursuant to the Barton  Acquisition,  the Company is  obligated to make
payments  of up to an  aggregate  amount of $57.3  million to the former  Barton
stockholders  (the  "Barton  Stockholders"),  which  payments are payable over a
three-year period ending November 29, 1996 (the  "Earn-Out").  The first payment
to the Barton Stockholders of $4.0 million was made on December 31, 1993 and the
second  payment of $28.3  million was made on December 30, 1994,  as a result of
satisfaction  of certain  performance  goals and the  achievement of targets for
earnings before interest and taxes. An accrual for the December 30, 1994 payment
was recorded in the  financial  statements  as of August 31,  1994.  The Company
funded this  payment  through  Revolving  Loans under its Credit  Facility.  The
remaining  payments are contingent upon Barton  achieving and exceeding  certain
targets for earnings before interest and taxes and are to be made as follows: up
to $10.0 million is to be made on November 30, 1995;  and up to $15.0 million is
to be made on November 29, 1996.  Such payment  obligations are fully secured by
the Company's  standby  irrevocable  letter of credit under the Credit  Facility
(i.e.,  the Barton Letter of Credit) and are subject to  acceleration in certain
events. All Earn-Out payments will be accounted for as additional purchase price
for the Barton  Acquisition when the contingencies  have been satisfied and will
be allocated  based upon the fair market value of the  underlying  assets.  As a
result, as the Earn-Out payments are made, depreciation and amortization expense
will increase in the future over the remaining useful lives of these assets.

Restructuring Plan

         As a  result  of  the  Restructuring  Plan,  the  Company  incurred  an
after-tax  restructuring  charge in the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1994 of $14.9
million,  or $0.91 per share on a fully diluted basis.  Approximately 60% of the
restructuring  charge relates to the  revaluation of affected  assets which will
not involve cash  expenditures.  Implementation of the  Restructuring  Plan will
require net cash  expenditures of approximately  $27.1 million,  including $20.0
million  for  capital  expenditures.  The  capital  expenditures  will be funded
through the Credit  Facility.  Upon  relocation of the bottling  facilities  and
other  equipment from the Central Cellars and Soledad  wineries,  these wineries
will be closed and offered  for sale.  Net  proceeds in excess of $10.0  million
received from the dispositions of discontinued  operations and other assets must
be used to pay down Term Loans if the  proceeds  are not  reinvested  within one
year in similar assets. The Company anticipates that the Restructuring Plan will
result in net cost  savings of  approximately  $1.7  million in fiscal  1995 and
approximately $13.3 million of annual net cost savings beginning in fiscal 1996.

Other

         The Company  engages in operations at its facilities for the purpose of
disposing of waste and by-products  generated in its production  process.  These
operations  include  the  treatment  of waste  water to comply  with  regulatory
requirements  prior to disposal in public  facilities or upon property  owned by
the Company or others and do not  constitute  a material  part of the  Company's
overall cost of product sold.  Expenditures  for the purpose of  maintaining  or
improving the Company's waste water treatment  facilities have not constituted a
material part of the Company's maintenance or capital expenditures over the last
three fiscal  years and the Company  does not expect to incur any such  material
expenditures  during its 1995 fiscal year.  During the last three fiscal  years,
the  Company  has not  incurred,  nor does it expect to incur in its 1995 fiscal
year,   any  material   expenditures   related  to   remediation  of  previously
contaminated sites or other non-recurring environmental matters.

         In February  1995,  the Company  entered into an  agreement  cancelling
certain  of its  long-term  grape  contracts  acquired  in  connection  with the
Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition.  As a result,  the estimated loss reserve at the
date of the  Almaden/Inglenook  Acquisition  was  reduced by  approximately  $13
million with a  corresponding  reduction in  goodwill.  Subsequent  to the Third
Quarter 1995, the Company entered into additional  agreements cancelling certain
of its long-term grape  contracts.  The financial  impact of the cancellation of
those contracts, which will not be material to the Company, will be reflected in
the Company's  financial  statements in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1995 as an
adjustment  to the  estimated  loss  reserve and a  corresponding  reduction  in
goodwill at the date of the Almaden/Inglenook Acquisition.

         The  Company  believes  that  cash flow from  operations  will  provide
sufficient  funds  to meet  all of its  anticipated  short  and  long-term  debt
service.  The Company is not aware of any potential  impairment to its liquidity
and believes that the Revolving  Loans  available  under the Credit Facility and
cash flow from operations will provide adequate resources to satisfy its working
capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next four fiscal quarters.

         As  noted  above  under   "Results  of   Operations  of  the  Company,"
consummation  of  the  Proposed  Acquisition  will  require  financing  and  the
obtaining of appropriate  consents from the banking  syndicate  under its Credit
Facility.  The Company is in the process of finalizing the terms of an amendment
to its Credit Facility to finance the Proposed  Acquistion  primarily through an
increase to its Term Loan Credit  Facility.  The Company does not anticipate any
difficulties in obtaining such financing.
