        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Financial Statements Presentation:
- -------------------------------------------
The consolidated interim financial statements of Cable Car Beverage 
Corporation (the "Company") at September 30, 1997, and for the nine-month 
and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997, and September 30, 1996 
are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of 
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for 
all periods presented have been made.

The Company's consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts 
of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Old San Francisco Seltzer, Inc. and 
Fountain Classics, Inc.

Certain information and substantially all footnote disclosures normally 
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  It is suggested that 
these financial statements be read in conjunction with the fiscal year ended 
Company's consolidated financial statements, filed in Form 10-K for December 
31, 1996.  The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1997 
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been reflected in the prior period financial 
statements to conform to the current year presentations.

Note 2 - Net Income Per Common Share:
- -------------------------------------
Net income per common share was computed under the treasury stock method 
using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common 
stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  In February 1997, 
the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is effective for 
periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires changes in the 
computation, presentation and disclosure of earnings per share.  Earnings 
per share for all prior periods must be restated to conform with computation 
provisions of SFAS No. 128. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 will not have any impact on the Company's reported 
financial results.

Note 4 - Merger with Triarc Companies, Inc.
- -------------------------------------------

On June 24, 1997 the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger 
agreement") with Triarc Companies, Inc. ("Triarc") whereby the Company will 
become a wholly-owned subsidairy of Triarc.  The acquisition is currently
expected to close by the end of November 1997 and is subject to approval
of the Company's shareholders who are scheduled to vote on a proposal to
approve the Merger Agreement on November 25, 1997.
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

Certain statements in the following discussions regarding the Company's 
future products and business plans, financial results, performance and 
events are forward-looking statements and are based on current expectations.
Actual results may differ materially due to a number of risks and 
uncertainties.

Current Developments
- --------------------
On October 21, the Company announced that a record date of October 23, 1997 
has been set for the Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to 
consider and vote upon the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Merger 
among the Company, Triarc Companies, Inc. and CCB Merger Corporation. The 
Special Meeting is scheduled to be held in Denver, Colorado on November 25, 
1997 (see Part II, Item 5, below).

During the third quarter, the Company recorded the issuance of 150,000 
shares of the Company's common stock and $400,000 in a note payable to 
Stewart's Restaurants, Inc. in consideration for amendments made to its 
licensing agreements with Stewart's Restaurants, Inc. (see Part II, Item
5, below).

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 
30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue for the nine-months ended September 30, 1997 was $20,508,767 versus 
revenue of $14,597,468 for the nine-months ended September 30, 1996.  This 
increase of $5,911,299, or 40%, was primarily due to increased sales of 
Stewart's brand products.

Cost of goods sold increased by $4,118,501 for the comparative nine-months 
ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996.  As a percentage of sales, 
cost of goods sold decreased to 71.5% for the nine-months ended September 30,

                                 -8-
<PAGE>

1997 from 72.3% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1996.  The improved 
gross margin was primarily due to favorable sweetener costs compared with 
the nine-months ended September 30, 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $507,537 for the nine-months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 
1996. General and administrative costs also increased as a percentage of 
sales to 6.5% from 5.6% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1997 and 
1996, respectively.  This increase is primarily the result of  $377,674 of 
expenses related to the proposed merger with Triarc Companies, Inc. (see Part
II, Item 5, below).  These expenses are non-recurring and are not related to 
ongoing operations of the Company.  Excluding these merger related expenses, 
general and administrative expenses would have been $951,209 or 4.6% of 
sales.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $781,267 for the comparative 
nine-months ended September 30, 1997 from September 30, 1996, primarily due 
to increased promotional spending on the Stewart's brand products.  As a 
percentage of sales, selling expenses increased for the period to 11% from 
10.1% which is primarily the result of these increased promotional
expenses.

Pre-tax income rose $487,340, or 28.3%, to $2,211,926 for the nine-months 
ended September 30, 97 from $1,724,586 for the nine-months ended September 
30, 1996. Net income rose $160,611, or 15.3%, to $1,209,133 from $1,048,522 
for the comparative periods ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Excluding merger related costs, pre-tax income would have risen 50% to 
$2,589,600 and net income would have increased 51% to $1,586,807 for the 
nine-month period compared to the prior year period.

Comparison of the three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 
30, 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue for the three-months ended September 30, 1997 was $7,762,071 versus 
revenue of $5,664,924 for the three-months ended September 30, 1996.  This 
increase of $2,097,147, or 37%, was primarily due to increased sales of 
Stewart's brand products.

Cost of goods sold increased by $1,458,784 for the comparative three-months 
ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996.  As a percentage of sales, 
cost of goods sold decreased to 71.4% for the three-months ended September 
30, 1997 from 72.1% for the three-months ended September 30, 1996.  The 
improved gross margin was primarily due to favorable sweetener costs
compared with the three-months ended September 30, 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $82,293 for the three-months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 
1996.  General and administrative costs also decreased as a percentage of 
sales to 5% from 5.4% for the three-months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  $64,858 of expenses related to the proposed merger with 
Triarc Companies, Inc. (see Part II, Item 5, below) were recorded during the 
third quarter 1997.  These expenses are non-recurring and are not related to 
ongoing operations of the Company.  Excluding these merger related expenses, 
general and administrative expenses would have been $323,652 or 4.2% of sales.

                                 -9-
<PAGE>

Selling and distribution expenses increased $360,823 for the comparative 
three-months ended September 30, 1997 from September 30, 1996 and also 
increased as a percentage of sales from 8.9% to 11.1% for the comparative 
three-month periods.  This increase is primarily the result of higher 
Stewart's promotional spending.

Pre-tax income rose $181,959, or 24%, to $940,721 for the three-months ended 
September 30, 1997 from $758,762 for the three-months ended September 30, 
1996. Net income increased $71,020, or 16%, to $516,135 from $445,115 for 
the comparative three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.  Excluding merger related costs, pre-tax income would have 
risen 33% to $1,005,579 and net income would have increased 31% to $580,993 
for the three-month period compared to the prior year period.

Because the Triarc merger related expenses are not deductible for tax 
purposes, the Company's annual effective tax rate for 1997 is expected to 
be 45% and this effective tax rate is reflected in the provision for the 
three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's current ratio at September 30, 1997 was 3.6 as compared to 5.0 
at December 31, 1996.  Working capital at September 30, 1997 was $5,634,825 
as compared to $4,628,636 at December 31, 1996.  For the nine-months ended 
September 30, 1997, cash decreased by $57,031.  The principal use of cash 
during this period was for operating activities.  Inventories and accounts 
receivable increased significantly as a result of increased sales.  Net 
income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other provisions 
generated $1,370,560 in cash.  Accounts receivable and inventories increased 
by a total of $2,189,827, and accounts payable and other current liabilities 
increased $889,064.  Investing activities provided cash of $122,782,
primarily from proceeds from the sale of short-term investments.

The Company intends to utilize cash from operations to meet its ongoing 
obligations.  The Company also maintains a bank line of credit in the amount 
of $500,000 which it may utilize from time to time to meet seasonal cash 
needs.  Management does not expect liquidity problems for the next twelve 
months assuming the Company can maintain or exceed its current sales
volume, and expenses as a percentage of sales remain relatively constant.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 5.  Other Information

Merger Agreement - Triarc Companies, Inc.
- -----------------------------------------
On June 24, 1997 the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Triarc 
Companies, Inc. ("Triarc") (NYSE:TRY) whereby the Company agreed to be 
merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triarc (the "Merger Agreement").  
Approval of the Merger Agreement and the proposed merger (the "Merger") 
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock.  

Pursuant to the proposed Merger, each share of the Company's Common Stock 
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger 
(other than treasury shares and shares held by Triarc and its subsidiaries 
and subsidiaries of the Company, all of which will be canceled, and shares 
with respect to which the holder has exercised appraisal rights under
Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 0.1722 of a share 
(the "Conversion Price") of Class A common stock, par value $.10 per share, 
of Triarc (the "Triarc Common Stock"), subject to the adjustment described 
below, and any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Triarc Common 
Stock.  The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as follows: (i) if
the Average Triarc Share Price (based on the average closing price for 15 
consecutive trading days immediately preceding closing) is less than $18.875,
then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by
dividing $3.25 by such Average Triarc Share Price, and (ii) if the Average 
Triarc Share Price is greater than $24.50, then the Conversion Price shall
be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing $4.22 by such Average 
Triarc Share Price.

Triarc is a holding company which, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in 
the following businesses: beverages, restaurants, dyes and specialty 
chemicals and liquefied petroleum gas.  The beverage operations are 
conducted by the Triarc Beverage  Group through Royal Crown Company, Inc., 
Mistic Brands, Inc. and, since its acquisition on May 22, 1997, Snapple 
Beverage Corp.  The restaurant operations are conducted by the Triarc 
Restaurant Group through Arby's, Inc.  The dyes and specialty chemical 
operations are conducted through C.H. Patrick & Co., Inc., and the liquefied 
petroleum gas operations are conducted through National Propane Corporation,
the managing general partner of National Propane Partners, L.P., and its 
operating subsidiary partnership, National Propane, L.P.

                                  -11-
<PAGE>

On October 24, 1997, the Company's Proxy Statement and Triarc's Prospectus 
was sent to the Company's stockholders of  record noticing a special meeting 
of stockholders on November 25, 1997 to vote upon the approval of the 
Agreement and Plan of Merger.

Stockholders Agreement
- ----------------------
As a condition to its entering into the Merger Agreement, Triarc required 
Samuel M. Simpson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, 
Susan L. Neff, Mr. Simpson's wife, William H. Rutter, a director of the 
Company, and Susan L. Fralick, Mr. Rutter's wife (collectively, the 
"Subject Stockholders"), to enter into a Stockholders Agreement, as 
amended (the "Stockholders Agreement").  The Subject Stockholders own an 
aggregate of 1,766,409 shares of the Company's Common Stock, or approximately
19.7% of the shares of the Company's Common Stock, which are subject to the 
terms of the Stockholders Agreement (such amount does not include 12,200 
shares owned by them but not subject to the Stockholders Agreement). 
Each Subject Stockholder has agreed that at any meeting of the holders of 
the Company's Common Stock, he or she will, until the effective time or the 
termination of the Merger Agreement, vote or cause to be voted such Cable 
Car Common Stock and any of the Company's Common Stock acquired by them 
after the date of the Stockholders Agreement in favor of approval of the 
Merger Agreement and the merger and against certain other actions.  Moreover,
each Subject Stockholder has also granted Triarc an irrevocable proxy to 
vote his or her shares of stock as specified above in the event that such 
Subject Stockholder fails to so vote his or her stock in the agreed upon 
manner.

In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each Subject Stockholder
has granted to Triarc an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase his or 
her stock in whole but not in part under certain circumstances at a price per
share in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying 0.1722 (the 
"Option Conversion Price") times the average (without rounding) of the
closing prices per share of Triarc Common Stock on the NYSE on the NYSE 
Composite Tape for the 15 consecutive NYSE trading days ending on the NYSE 
trading day immediately preceding the date of the closing of the exercise of 
the option (the "Option Average Share Price"), subject to the following 
adjustment: if the Option Average Share Price is less than $18.875, then the 
Option Conversion Price will be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by
dividing $3.25 by the Option Average Share Price, and if the Option Average 
Share Price is greater than $24.50, then the Option Conversion Price will be 
adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing $4.22 by the Option 
Average Share Price.

Agreements with Stewart's
- -------------------------
On June 24, 1997 and further amended on August 11, 1997, the Company entered 
into agreements with Stewart's Restaurants, Inc. ("Stewart's Restaurants") 
amending and modifying its licensing agreements with Stewart's Restaurants 
(the "Stewart's Master Agreement" and the "Stewart's Fountain Agreement").
Among other things, these amendments (i) gave the Company ownership of the 
formulas for and manufacturing rights to concentrates used to make Stewart's 
soft drinks; (ii) provide that the Company is permitted to use the Stewart's 
trademark on any other product of any type; and (iii) granted to the Company 
the perpetual exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, distribute and

beverages) thoughout the world, subject to certain rights retained by 
Stewart's Restaurants.  As consideration for these amendments, the Company 
agreed to issue to Stewart's Restaurants an aggregate of 150,000 shares of 
the Company's Common Stock and to pay Stewart's Restaurants $400,000 in cash,
of which $250,000 is payable on March 31, 1998 and $150,000 is payable on 
March 31, 1999.
