             Independent Certified Public Accountants' Review Report



To the Board of Directors
AquaPenn Spring Water Company, Inc.:


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AquaPenn Spring
Water Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month period
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1997,
were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report
dated October 21, 1997, except for note 15 which is as of October 14, 1997, but
we have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.        Description of Business

                  AquaPenn Spring Water Company, Inc. (the "Company") was formed
         as a Pennsylvania corporation during November 1986. The Company bottles
         and distributes non-sparkling natural spring water.

                  The Company's water products are sold to both regional and
         national customers under retailers' and other customers' private labels
         and under its proprietary brand labels.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Presentation

                  The accompanying financial data as of December 31, 1997, and
         for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
         have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules
         and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
         rules and regulations. The September 30, 1997 balance sheet was derived
         from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
         required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, the
         Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
         information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
         financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
         Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File number 333-38771). The
         consolidated financial statements presented herein as of December 31,
         1997, and for the three months ended December 31, 1997, include the
         results of Dunsmuir Bottling Company, Inc. acquired by the Company on
         October 15, 1997, and the activity of the Company's other subsidiaries,
         all of which are wholly owned.

                  In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated
         financial statements include all adjustments (which include only normal
         recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
         position, results of operations, and cash flows as of December 31,
         1997, and for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The results of
         operations for the period ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily
         indicative of the operating results for the full year.

         Calculation of Net Income Per Share

                  During the quarter, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per Share",
         which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
         share ("EPS") data. SFAS No. 128 replaces the previous standards for
         presentation of primary and fully diluted EPS with basic and diluted
         EPS. Basic EPS excludes the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents
         and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by
         the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
         during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilution of common stock
         equivalents, and is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

         pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15.  All prior periods
         presented have been restated to reflect this adoption.

                  Common stock issued and stock options granted within
         one year prior to the Company's initial public offering have been
         included in the calculation of shares used in computing net income per
         common share as if they were outstanding for all periods presented.

3.        Inventories

                  Inventories consist of the following:

4.       Acquisition of Dunsmuir Bottling Company, Inc.

                  On October 15, 1997, the Company acquired California based
         Dunsmuir Bottling Company, Inc. (also known as "Castle Rock") for a
         purchase price, after post-closing adjustments, of $1,419,000 in cash,
         the issuance of 158,900 shares of the Company's common stock, and the
         granting of options to purchase 27,264 shares of the Company's common
         stock at $13 per share. The Company also assumed $4,650,000 of Castle
         Rock liabilities.

                  The following pro forma condensed combined balance sheet
         assumes the acquisition of Castle Rock occurred at September 30, 1997
         and the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations assumes
         the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the first quarter of
         fiscal 1997, ended December 31, 1996. This unaudited pro forma
         financial information does not purport to be indicative of what would
         have occurred had the acquisition been made at the beginning of fiscal
         1997, or of the results which may occur in the future.

   (a)  The aggregate purchase price of $3,485,000 was assumed to be paid
        through the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock
        valued at $2,066,000 (using the initial public offering price of
        $13 per share), and the remainder through available credit
        facilities of $1,419,000. The approximate excess of purchase price
        over assets acquired of $4,096,000 (net of accumulated
        amortization) is recorded in other noncurrent assets.

   (b)  The net loss of Dunsmuir has been adjusted for an income tax
        benefit assumed to be realized if Dunsmuir's results had been
        consolidated with AquaPenn's tax provision.

5.       Reverse Stock Split

               The income (loss) per common share, the number of common shares
          used in the per-share calculations and all share information for the
          periods presented reflect a 0.6008-for-one reverse stock split that
          was effective January 28, 1998.

6.       Conversion of Preferred Stock

               During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, all of the Company's
          outstanding convertible preferred stock, consisting of 1,702,500
          shares, were converted into shares of common stock of the Company. As
          a result of this conversion, 1,022,862 shares of the Company's common
          stock were issued. This conversion was a non-cash transaction.

7.       Initial Public Offering

               On January 29, 1998, the Company completed its initial public
          offering of 4,071,117 shares of its common stock. The offering was
          priced at $13 per share. Of the 4,071,117 shares registered, 2,071,117
          were sold by selling shareholders and 2,000,000 shares were sold by
          the Company. As a result of the offering, the Company received
          proceeds of approximately $23.7 million, net of underwriting
          discounts, commissions, and expenses of the offering.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Statements set forth below or otherwise made in writing or orally by
the Company with regard to its expectations as to industry conditions, its
financial results and other aspects of its business may constitute forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These expectations may differ materially from actual future
events or results. Readers are referred to the Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (File number 333-38771) filed by the Company with the SEC, which identifies
important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those
contained in the forward-looking statements, including a highly competitive
industry, ability to achieve and manage growth, potential fluctuations in
quarterly operating results, dependence on key personnel, dependence upon
existing natural spring sources, limited ownership and control of water sources
and challenge to use of Castle Rock Spring Water, dependence on key suppliers,
limited ability to raise prices, potential for product liability, dependence on
trademarks, changes in government regulation, lack of inventory and changes in
consumer preferences.

Factors Affecting Operating Results

         The Company produces, bottles and sells non-sparkling natural spring
water and commenced operations in fiscal 1987. Because the Company has limited
ability to change the price of its products, the Company's profits are based on
generating sufficient sales volume to exceed its costs, including its relatively
high fixed costs of production. As the Company completes its capital
expenditures in the near term, its profit margins will likely be negatively
impacted until sales volumes increase. The Company's largest variable cost is
packaging, principally PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, caps and
corrugated boxes. Variations in raw materials prices may cause the Company's
results to fluctuate. The Company maintains a relatively low level of raw
material and finished goods inventory averaging $1.7 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. This inventory consists primarily of raw materials,
which the Company finds cost effective to purchase in bulk. The Company
maintains a limited product inventory because the Company tailors much of its
production specifically to customer orders. The Company's PET bottle supplier,
Schmalbach-Lubeca, produces PET bottles as needed for the Company on site at the
Milesburg, Pennsylvania facility. Disruptions in supplies of certain raw
materials may negatively impact the Company's ability to deliver finished
products to its customers. Competitive pricing pressures may also negatively
impact the Company's performance. Finally, the mix of products and packaging
sizes sold by the Company may change, particularly as new customers and
distribution channels are obtained or as a different mix of products is sold to
existing customers. Changes in these aspects of the Company's sales profile may
impact profit margins.

Seasonality

         The Company's business is highly seasonal, with a concentration of
sales in summer months. In the past, inclement weather has negatively impacted
the Company's net revenues, particularly in summers that are unusually cool or
rainy. In the last three fiscal years, a weighted average of 40.8% of the
Company's net revenues have occurred during June, July and August.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended December 31, 1997 Compared with
Three Months Ended December 31, 1996

         Net Revenues. The Company's net revenues increased from $5.0 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $8.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1998, an increase of $3.1 million, or 61.5%. Approximately $1.3 million or 41.5%
of this increase is from revenues resulting from the acquisition of Castle Rock.
The remainder of the increase resulted primarily from the introduction of two
(2) new product sizes and the addition of new customer accounts of the Company.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit increased from $977,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 to $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The gross
margin decreased from 19.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 15.9% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998. Cost of goods sold includes direct materials,
direct labor, overhead, depreciation, amortization and transportation. The
percentage decrease resulted primarily from the integration of Castle Rock and a
shift in product mix. In addition, transportation expenses, which represent
outbound delivery costs, increased from 10.5% of net revenues in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 to 12.0% of net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal
1998. This increase was due, in part, to an increase in deliveries to the West
and Southwest from the Company's Milesburg facility which could not yet be
serviced by the Castle Rock facility in northern California. In addition, direct
labor and overhead costs were higher primarily as a result of the costs
associated with the integration of Castle Rock by the Company. Depreciation and
amortization was $418,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to
$543,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, but decreased from 8.4% of net
revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 6.7% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. This percentage decrease is due to the expenses being spread over a
greater sales volume. Product shifts occurred as the Company obtained new
customers in different distribution channels, introduced new product sizes and
sold a different mix of products to existing customers, resulting in increased
sales to customers with lower margins.

         Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased from $944,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 to $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and increased from
18.9% of net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 19.3% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily the result of additional
costs associated with the integration of Castle Rock by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's primary capital needs have been to fund its working
capital requirements and capital expenditures necessitated by its growth. The
Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million and $1.6
million for the first quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1998, respectively.

         The Company's capital expenditures totaled $6.6 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, primarily incurred for the expansion of the Milesburg
facility, including the purchase of and progress payments on new equipment, and
for the construction of a new production facility located adjacent to Ginnie
Springs, in north central Florida. The Company's capital expenditures totaled
$3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, primarily incurred for the
initial expansion of the Milesburg facility and for the purchase of new
equipment.

         The Company also paid $1.4 million on October 15, 1997 for the cash
portion of the purchase price for Castle Rock and assumed $4.7 million of Castle
Rock liabilities. A substantial portion of the Castle Rock liabilities were
repaid during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Castle Rock purchase price,
together with the Company's first quarter fiscal 1998 capital expenditures, were
funded from borrowings under the Company's credit facilities and cash generated
by its operating activities.

         The Company's future capital requirements include $4.6 million to
complete construction of the Florida facility and $9.8 million to expand the
Milesburg facility, to build additional warehouse space, to install a pipeline
from the Big Spring in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania to its Milesburg facility and to
purchase additional equipment. In addition, the Company's future capital
requirements will require the financing and growth of working capital items such
as accounts receivable and inventories. The Company anticipates that funds
available from the initial public offering of $23.7 million should support the
Company's existing operations at least through fiscal 1998. Long-term capital
expenditures are expected to be funded through additional debt borrowings and
operating cash flow.

         The Company has $38.0 million in revolving credit facilities, lines of
credit and demand notes which incur interest at annual rates between LIBOR plus
1.0% and LIBOR plus 1.7%. The aggregate amount that the Company may borrow under
its credit facilities is limited by financial covenants contained in one of the
credit agreements. These covenants would have limited the Company's borrowings
to approximately $29.4 million at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997 the
Company had $12.5 million of such borrowings outstanding which are expected to
be repaid from the proceeds of the initial public offering. One of the Company's
credit agreements contains a direct prohibition on payment of dividends by the
Company. Two credit agreements require the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios which currently restrict and may restrict in the future the Company's
ability to pay dividends. The terms of these credit agreements require that a
ratio of not greater than 2.0 to 1.0 be maintained for the Company's liabilities
to stockholders' equity (excluding all intangible assets) determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as the end of each
fiscal year with respect to one agreement, and as of the end of each quarter of
each fiscal year with respect to the other agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS
No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
were issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components including revenues, expenses, gains and
losses in a full set of general-purpose financial statements and requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS No. 130
is required to be adopted for the Company's fiscal 1999 year-end financial
statements. SFAS No. 130 will have no impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

         SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is required to be adopted
for the Company's fiscal 1999 financial statements. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this pronouncement on the
Company's existing disclosures.

benefit due to the net loss of Castle Rock, as if Castle Rock's results had been
consolidated with the Company's income tax provision, was $63,000 as compared to
a loss of $113,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, a decrease of $50,000 or
79.4%.

Future Growth Subject to Risks

         In order to achieve continued growth in its bottled water business, the
Company must meet its strategic objectives of expanding its current capacity to
produce high quality spring water products, expanding its customer base,
expanding its product line and adding new distribution channels. The Company's
ability to meet these objectives depends upon (a) the successful development and
construction of a facility adjacent to Ginnie Springs, (b) the successful
integration and operation of the Company's recent acquisition, Castle Rock, (c)
the successful expansion of its Milesburg facility, (d) the securing of new
sources of spring water in strategic locations and identifying and successfully
acquiring and integrating existing water companies, and other factors beyond the
Company's control. The Company has never operated multiple facilities in
multiple states and has never completed and integrated an acquisition of a
significant existing company; the Company may encounter unexpected difficulties
operating multiple facilities or integrating Castle Rock or other acquisitions.
No assurance can be given as to the future growth in the Company's business or
as to its profitability. Further growth of the Company will require capital,
employment and training of new personnel, expansion of facilities and expansion
of management information systems. If the Company is unable to manage its growth
effectively, the Company's profitability and its ability to achieve its
strategic objectives may likely be materially adversely affected.

         The Company currently obtains the natural spring water bottled at its
Milesburg facility from a spring located in Graysville, Pennsylvania. A natural
spring located in Dunsmuir, California provides the natural spring water for the
Company's west coast operations based in Dunsmuir and Redding, California. The
loss of the Graysville Spring or the Castle Rock Spring would have a material
adverse effect on the business of the Company. The Company expects to begin
bottling water from Ginnie Springs in April 1998. In addition, the Company has
acquired the right to purchase natural spring water from the Bellefonte Big
Spring located in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, in order to supplement or replace
the Graysville Spring. Subject to completion by the Borough of Bellefonte of a
covering over the spring and the permitting and approval process, the Company
expects to begin bottling Big Spring water in fiscal 1999. Occurrences beyond
the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, drought, which
prevents natural springs from recharging themselves, and other occurrences, such
as contamination of the springs, geological changes which could interfere with
operation of the springs or failure of the water supply to comply with all
applicable governmental requirements for mineral and chemical concentration,
could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. The Company
believes that the adequate supplemental commercial sources of spring water
exist, but there is no assurance that such commercial sources will be available
in sufficient amounts or if available, obtainable on commercially reasonable

Part  II. Other Information

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

         (d) On January 29, 1998, the Company's Registration Statement on
         Form S-1 (File number 333-38771), was declared effective by the
         Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company's
         initial public offering of 4,071,117 shares of the Company's common
         stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of which 2,000,000 shares of
         Common Stock were offered and sold by the Company and 2,071,117 shares
         of Common Stock were offered and sold by certain shareholders of the
         Company. The initial public offering (the "Offering") commenced on
         January 29, 1998 and was terminated after the sale of all of the Common
         Stock. The managing underwriters for the Offering were PaineWebber
         Incorporated, Lazard Freres & Co. LLC and Parker/Hunter Incorporated.
         Of the 4,071,117 shares of Common Stock registered, all 4,071,117
         shares were offered at, and sold for, an aggregate offering price of
         $49,219,805 (less underwriting discounts and commissions but before
         deducting offering expenses), of which $24,180,000 were proceeds to the
         Company and $25,039,805 were proceeds to the selling shareholders. The
         net proceeds to the Company after deducting all of the expenses
         described below were $23,700,000. To date, the expenses incurred for
         the Company's account in connection with the Offering are $1,820,000
         for underwriting discounts and commissions, $480,000 for other expenses
         and $2,300,000 for total expenses. None of the expenses were direct or
         indirect payments to directors, officers, affiliates or persons owning
         10% or more of any equity security of the Company.

                  No proceeds were received during the first fiscal quarter
         ended December 31, 1997. From January 29, 1998 to March 1, 1998, the
         proceeds from the Offering were used as follows: $2.7 million for
         purchase and installation of machinery and equipment; $2.7 million for
         repayment of indebtedness; and $18.3 million for temporary investments.
         None of the proceeds were used for direct or indirect payments to
         directors, officers, affiliates or persons owning 10% or more of any
         equity security of the Company.
