         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         ----------------------------------------------------
Note 1 - Financial Statements Presentation:
- -------------------------------------------
The consolidated interim financial statements of Cable Car Beverage 
Corporation (the "Company") at June 30, 1997, and for the six-month and 
three-month periods ended June 30, 1997, and June 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 June 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 a material impact on the Company's reported financial 
results.

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 product 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
- --------------------
During the second quarter, the Company reacquired territorial marketing and 
distribution rights from certain of its distributors located in the 
northeastern United States.  The cost to reacquire these territorial 
distribution rights totaled $200,058, of which $30,790 was paid in cash, 
$92,288 was accounts receivable forgiven, and the remainder was paid through 
the issuance of the Company's common stock.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 1997 was $12,746,696 versus 
revenue of $8,932,544 for the six-months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase 
of $3,814,152, or 43%, was primarily due to increased sales of Stewart's 
brand products.

Cost of goods sold increased by $2,659,717 for the comparative six-months 
ended June 30, 1997 and  June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of sales, cost of 
goods sold decreased to 71.6% for the six-months ended June 30, 1997 from 
72.4% for the six-months ended June 30, 1996.  The improved gross margin was 
primarily due to favorable sweetener costs compared with the six months 
ended June 30, 1996.

                                  -8-
<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses increased by $425,244 for the six-months 
ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six-months ended June 30, 1996. General 
and administrative costs also increased as a percentage of sales to 7.4% 
from 5.8% for the six-months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  
This increase is primarily the result of approximately $313,000 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 
$627,557 or 4.9% of sales.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $420,444 for the comparative 
six-months ended June 30, 1997 from June 30, 1996, primarily due to 
increased promotional spending on the Stewart's brand products.  As a 
percentage of sales, selling expenses were relatively constant at 11%.

Pre-tax income rose $305,381, or 32%, to $1,271,205 for the six-months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $965,824 for the six-months ended June 30, 1996. Net 
income rose $89,591, or 15%, to $692,998 from $603,407 for the comparative 
periods ending June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Excluding merger 
related costs, pre-tax income would have risen 64% to $1,584,021 and net 
income would have increased 57% to $949,522 for the six-month period 
compared to the prior year period.

Comparison of the three-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 1997 was $7,388,832 versus 
revenue of $5,249,735 for the three-months ended June 30, 1996.  This 
increase of $2,139,097, or 41%, was primarily due to increased sales of 
Stewart's brand products.

Cost of goods sold increased by $1,516,453 for the comparative three-months 
ended June 30, 1997 and  June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of sales, cost of 
goods sold remained relatively constant at 72% for the comparative 
three-months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $395,277 for the three-
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 1996.
General and administrative costs also increased as a percentage of sales to 
9% from 5.2% for the three-months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
This increase is primarily the result of approximately $313,000 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 $355,836 or 4.8% of sales.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $214,420 for the comparative 
three-months ended June 30, 1997 from June 30, 1996, primarily due to 
increased promotional spending on the Stewart's brand products.  As a 
percentage of sales, selling expenses were relatively constant at 10%.

                                 -9-
<PAGE>

Pre-tax income rose $7,488, or 1%, to $682,994 for the three-months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $675,506 for the three-months ended June 30, 1996. Net 
income declined $88,045, or 20%, to $342,006 from $430,051 for the 
comparative three-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  
Excluding merger related costs, pre-tax income would have rose 47% to 
$995,810 and net income would have increased 39% to $598,530 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%.  The effective tax rate of 50% and 45% for the three-months and six-
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, reflect the impact of the 
nondeductible merger expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's current ratio at June 30, 1997 was 3.21 as compared to 5.0 at 
December 31, 1996.  Working capital at June 30, 1997 was $5,355,392 as 
compared to $4,628,636 at December 31, 1996.  For the six-months ended June 
30, 1997, cash decreased by $179,323.  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 approximately 
$792,000 in cash.  Accounts receivable and inventories increased by a total 
of approximately $2,308,000, and accounts payable and other current 
liabilities increased approximately $1,341,000.  Investing activities 
provided cash of approximately $138,000, primarily from the proceeds from 
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. (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.

Change of Control
- -----------------
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,

                                 -11-
<PAGE>
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 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") as further amended on August 11, 1997.  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 sell post-mix 
syrups and premixes for Stewart's beverages throughout the world (fountain-
type beverages), 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.
