     1.   GENERAL
          -------
          The accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dr Pepper
          Bottling Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") and its wholly owned
          subsidiary, Dr Pepper Bottling Company of Texas (the "Company" or
          "Subsidiary"), as of March 31, 1994, the related consolidated
          condensed statements of operations for the three months ended
          March 31, 1994 and 1993, the related consolidated condensed
          statements of stockholders' deficit for the three months ended
          March 31, 1994, and the related consolidated condensed statements
          of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
          are unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company and Holdings,
          reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
          necessary for a fair presentation.  Such financial statements are
          for interim periods and do not include all detail normally
          provided in annual financial statements and should be read in
          conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and
          Holdings, and notes thereto, included in the Prospectus of the
          Company and Holdings,  dated  April 18, 1994, relating  to  the 
          Company's 10 1/4% Senior Notes due 2000 (the "Senior Notes") and
          Holdings' 11 5/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2003 (the "Discount
          Notes"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission  (File
          Nos. 33-56292 and 33-56292-01, respectively) (the "Prospectus").

          Effective October 28, 1988, Holdings acquired all of the
          outstanding common stock of the Company (the "Acquisition") in a
          business combination accounted for as a purchase.  As Holdings is
          essentially a holding company whose principal asset is its
          investment in the Company, all purchase adjustments have been
          recorded on the books of the Company.  To the extent that the
          Acquisition included new investors, the Company adjusted
          property, plant and equipment to their estimated fair values as
          of the Acquisition date and retired related accumulated
          depreciation.

          Holdings, through its subsidiary, is principally engaged in
          producing, marketing and distributing carbonated soft drinks in
          Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Waco, and Galveston.  Soft drink
          operations are conducted pursuant to franchise

          agreements with companies owning the rights to soft drink
          formulae.

     2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
          ------------------------------------------
          (a)  Cash Equivalents           

          Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid debt instruments with
          original maturities of three months or less.

          (b)  Inventories

          Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO)
          cost or market.

          (c)  Property, Plant and Equipment

          Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  For financial
          reporting purposes, depreciation is provided on the 
          straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
          assets.

          Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred;
          renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated.  The
          cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed of
          are removed from the accounts.  Resultant profit or loss on such
          transactions is credited or charged to earnings.

          (d)  Intangible Assets

          Excess of cost over fair market value of net assets of acquired
          business and costs of franchises are being  amortized on a
          straight-line basis over 10 to 40 years.

          (e)  Other Assets

          Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with acquisitions  and
          the recapitalization plan described below are deferred and will
          be amortized by the interest method over the terms of the related
          debt agreements (7 to 25 years).  Covenants not to compete are
          amortized over the terms of the agreements (5 to 10 years).

          (f)  Marketing Expense

          Marketing costs include costs of advertising, marketing and
          promotional programs.  Prepaid advertising consists of various
          marketing, media and advertising prepayments; these

          assets are expensed in the year used.  Marketing costs, other
          than prepayments, are expensed in the year incurred.

     3.   RECAPITALIZATION PLAN
          ---------------------
          During the first quarter of 1993, the Company and Holdings
          completed a recapitalization plan (the "Recapitalization Plan")
          the purpose of which plan was to reduce the aggregate amount of
          interest expense and preferred stock dividend requirements.  The
          Company recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $32
          million in connection with the early retirement of a total of
          $192.2 million principal payment amount of notes and debentures. 
          The aggregate purchase price (including costs to extinguish the
          debt) of such indebtedness was $223.8 million, financed
          principally through newly issued debt and preferred stock.  The
          Recapitalization Plan is described in more detail in notes 5, 6,
          8, 9, and 10.

     4.   BUSINESS ACQUIRED
          -----------------
          On April 13, 1993, pursuing its operating strategy of acquiring
          contiguous bottling territories, the Company acquired all of the
          operating assets of Dr Pepper Bottling Company of Galveston, Inc.
          for $9 million in cash and $1 million payable over five years
          under a non-competition agreement.

     5.   1993 BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT
          --------------------------
          Pursuant to the Recapitalization Plan, on February 18, 1993, the
          Company entered into a credit agreement (the "1993 Bank Credit
          Agreement") with certain banks providing for (i) a term loan
          facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million and (ii) a
          revolving line of credit facility in the aggregate amount of $25
          million.

          On March 22, 1993, as contemplated by the Recapitalization Plan,
          the Company borrowed $91.7 million under the term loan facility
          of the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement to redeem all of the then
          outstanding Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock of the Company. 
          As of December 31, 1993, the Company had no balance outstanding
          on the revolving line of credit facility of the 1993 Bank Credit
          Agreement.  The facilities mature June 30, 1999.

          The 1993 Bank Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive
          covenants and requires the Company, among other things, to
          satisfy certain financial ratios and restrict

          of dividends.  Amounts owed under the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement
          are the direct obligations of the Company and are unconditionally
          guaranteed by Holdings.

     6.   SALE/LEASEBACK
          --------------
          As part of the Recapitalization Plan, on February 18, 1993, the
          Company entered into an amendment to the lease agreement entered
          into by the Company on June 30, 1989, in connection with the
          sale/leaseback of its Irving and Houston, Texas production
          facilities.  The amendment to the lease agreement modified
          certain covenants contained therein, increased rent by $500,000
          per annum, and eliminated the consumer price index adjustment to
          the rent scheduled to be effected on July 1, 1994.  In connection
          with the amendment, Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
          Corporation ("DLJ") obtained the right to sell the note (the
          "Landlord Note") held by the lender to the landlord under the
          lease agreement.

          The Landlord Note was sold on October 19, 1993 at a price of
          $17,698,500 (the "Sales Price") plus accrued interest of $95,985. 
          DLJ received a commission of $176,985 in connection with such
          sale (1% of the Sales Price) and reimbursement of $94,472 for
          expenses incurred in connection with such sale, both of which
          were paid out of the proceeds from such sale.  The remaining
          proceeds from such sale in excess of the principal amount of the
          Landlord Note plus accrued interest ($1,227,043) were paid to the
          Company and reflected as a reduction of the loss on
          recapitalization of debt.

          The present value of the increased rent payments was added to
          long term debt on the Company's and Holdings' balance sheets.

     8.  SENIOR NOTES
         ------------
       As contemplated by the Recapitalization Plan, on February 18, 1993,
       the Company issued and sold $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount
       of Senior Notes.  The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of
       10 1/4% per annum, payable semi-annually on February 15 and August
       15 of each year, commencing August 15, 1993. The Senior Notes are
       redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any
       time on or after February 16, 1998, at 101.708% of the principal
       amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, if redeemed during
       the twelve-month period beginning February 16, 1998, and thereafter
       at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if
       any, until maturity.  In the event of a change in control of the
       Company or Holdings, the Company will be obligated to make an offer
       to purchase all outstanding Senior Notes at a redemption price of
       101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
       interest to the date of repurchase.

       Under the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes,
       dividend payments on capital stock are restricted to the sum of (i)
       50% of net income (or in the case of a net loss, 100% of the net
       loss) plus (ii) the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock,
       warrants or options plus (iii) $7.5 million.

     9.  DISCOUNT NOTES
         --------------
       As contemplated by the Recapitalization Plan, on February 18, 1993,
       Holdings issued and sold $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
       Discount Notes.  The Discount Notes were issued at a substantial
       discount from their principal amount.  Commencing

<PAGE>
     

       February 16, 1998, interest will accrue until maturity on the
       Discount Notes at a rate of 11 5/8% per annum.  Interest on the
       Discount Notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15
       of each year, commencing August 15, 1998. The Discount Notes are
       redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of Holdings, on or
       after February 16, 1998, at amounts decreasing from 104.359% of the
       principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, at February 16,
       1998 to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest,
       at February 16,  2001, until maturity.  In the event of a change in
       control of Holdings, Holdings will be obligated to make an offer to
       purchase all outstanding Discount Notes at a redemption price of
       101% of the accreted value thereof on any repurchase date prior to
       February 16, 1998, or 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
       accrued and unpaid interest to any repurchase date on or after
       February 16, 1998.

       Under the terms of the indenture governing the Discount Notes,
       dividend payments on capital stock are restricted to the sum of (i)
       50% of net income (or in the case of a net loss, 100% of the net
       loss) plus (ii) the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock,
       warrants or options plus (iii) $7.5 million.

     10. HOLDINGS PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANT
         ------------------------------------
       As part of the Recapitalization Plan, Holdings sold, for an
       aggregate purchase price of $30 million, 1,200,000 shares of
       redeemable senior cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, par value
       $.01 per share, of Holdings (the "Preferred Stock") and a warrant to
       purchase up to 15% of the common stock of Holdings on a fully
       diluted basis.  The Company redeemed all of the outstanding Senior
       Exchangeable Preferred Stock of the Company, in accordance with the
       Recapitalization Plan.

       Each share of Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25.00
       per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  Dividends are payable
       quarterly at the rate of $2.75 per annum per share.  Dividends on
       the Preferred Stock are cumulative and, at the option of Holdings,
       may be paid through the issuance of additional shares of Preferred
       Stock on each dividend payment date through April 1, 1998.  The
       Preferred Stock is optionally redeemable, in whole or in part, at
       $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon on or
       after April 1, 1998, provided that Holdings is also entitled to
       optionally redeem Preferred Stock with all or a portion of the
       proceeds from an initial offering of Holdings common stock
       consummated on or before the third anniversary of the issuance of
       the Preferred Stock.
     
<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

       On each of April 1, 2005 and 2006, Holdings is required to redeem
       25% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock that is outstanding
       as of March 31, 2005, at $25.00 per share.  On April 1, 2007,
       Holdings must redeem the remaining shares of Preferred Stock then
       outstanding at $25.00 per share.  Shares redeemed by Holdings prior
       to the mandatory redemption dates are credited toward the mandatory
       redemption requirements on a pro rata basis.

       The Preferred Stock is exchangeable, in whole or in part, at the
       option of Holdings on any dividend payment date for 11% Junior
       Subordinated Exchange Debentures due 2006 of Holdings (the "Holdings
       Exchange Debentures").  Each share of Preferred Stock will be
       exchanged for $25.00 in principal amount of Holdings Exchange
       Debentures in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

       Differences between the carrying value of the Preferred Stock and
       redemption price ($25.00 per share) will be recognized through
       adjustments in the carrying value prior to the mandatory redemption
       dates.

       Upon the occurrence of a change in control, at the election of the
       holders of the Preferred Stock, Holdings will be required to
       purchase for cash all shares of Preferred Stock at $25.25 per share,
       plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of repurchase.

     11. HOLDINGS COMMON STOCK
         ---------------------
       On November 1, 1993, pursuant to Holdings' Certificate of
       Incorporation, each share of Class B common stock outstanding was
       automatically converted to Class A common stock.

     12. DEPRECIATION EXPENSES
         ---------------------
       Depreciation expenses included in cost of goods sold and in

     13.  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME 
          -------------------------------------------------------
          TAXES  (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
          ------------------------------------
       In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
       Income Taxes".  Statement 109 requires a change from the deferred
       method of accounting for income taxes of APB Opinion 11 to the asset
       and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the
       asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and
       liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
       attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
       amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
       bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
       enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
       in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
       settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
       liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
       period that includes the enactment date. 

       Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was
       applied in 1992 and prior years, deferred income taxes are
       recognized for income and expense items that are reported in
       different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax
       purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of the
       calculation.  Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not
       adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates.

       Effective January 1, 1993, Holdings adopted Statement 109 and the
       cumulative effect of the change in accounting for income taxes was
       immaterial.

       The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to
       significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
       liabilities as of December 31, 1993 are presented below:

       For federal income tax purposes, the predecessor tax basis of assets
       and liabilities was retained following the Acquisition.

       At December 31, 1993, the Company has net operating loss
       carryforwards of approximately $98,000 which are available to offset
       future federal taxable income, if any, through 2008.  At December
       31, 1993, there were approximately $82,000 of net operating loss
       carryforwards available to offset future alternative minimum taxable
       income for federal income tax purposes.  Net operating losses may
       not offset more than 90% of the Company's alternative minimum tax
       income.

       The valuation allowance increased $18,160 at December 31, 1993 as
       compared to January 1, 1993 when FAS 109 was adopted by Holdings. 
       The increase is primarily related to an increase in net operating
       loss carryforwards during 1993.

       If the Company undergoes a more-than-50% ownership change within the
       meaning of section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the
       Company will be limited in the use of its pre-ownership change net
       operating losses to offset future taxable income.  A similar
       limitation would apply to any pre-ownership change tax credits. 
       Also, to the extent that the taxable income of the company for any
       future year exceeds the sum of any net operating losses arising
       after the date of the ownership change plus the amount of the annual
       limitation on the pre-ownership change net operating losses, the
       Company would be required to pay federal income tax on such excess.

       Although a more-than-50% ownership change within the meaning of
       section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code occurred with respect to
       the Company in October of 1988, the Company has determined that the
       annual limitation under section 382 of the Code on its pre-October
       1988 net operating losses should be adequate to permit the full use
       of those net operating losses against future taxable income of the
       Company.  Furthermore, although there can be no assurance that the
       Internal Revenue Service would not take a different position, the
       Company believes that a more-than-50% ownership change within the
       meaning of section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code has not
       occurred with respect to the Company after October 1988.

     14. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
         ---------------------
       The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
       (loss), adjusted for dividends on Holdings' preferred stock and
       accretion of preferred stock for the difference between the carrying
       value and liquidation preference, by the

     15. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
         ------------------------
       In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
       Statement 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
       Other Than Pensions" ("Statement 106") which is effective for fiscal
       years beginning after 
       December 15, 1992.  The Company and Holdings do not provide
       postretirement benefits and, therefore, the provisions of Statement
       106 are not applicable.

       In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
       Statement 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits"
       ("Statement 112") which is effective for fiscal years beginning
       after December 15, 1993.  The Company and Holdings do not provide
       postemployment benefits and, therefore, the provisions of Statement
       112 are not applicable.

                DR PEPPER BOTTLING HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 MARCH 31, 1994
     General
     -------
     Case sales, the Company's primary measure of unit volume, refers to
     physical cases of beverages sold, including both premix
     (ready-to-serve products which are sold in tanks and converted to case
     sales on the basis of four cases per tank) and post-mix products
     (fountain syrups to which water and carbonation must be added and
     which are converted to case sales on the basis of one case per
     gallon.)

     Franchise case sales represent sales to retailers only.  Contract case
     sales comprise sales, primarily of product in cans, to unaffiliated
     bottling companies that hold soft drink franchises and to a wholesaler
     of private label branded soft drink products.  Contract sales may
     fluctuate significantly from year to year, and are made at relatively
     low prices and gross profit margins (historically representing
     approximately 16% of contract sales revenues) due to the competition
     for such sales, and are not a primary focus of management in
     determining the Company's business strategy.  As a result, management
     believes that changes in franchise sales more accurately measure
     growth than changes in total net sales.

     The primary asset of Holdings is the common stock of the Company. 
     Holdings conducts no business other than holding the common stock of
     the Company.  As a result, net sales, cost of sales, operating
     expenses and operating profit are the same for the Company and
     Holdings.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994
     ---------------------   ---------------------------------
               COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
               ------------------------------
               MARCH 31, 1993
               --------------
     Net sales, excluding contract sales, for the three months ended March
     31, 1994 increased to $69.0 million compared to $64.0 million for the
     same period in 1993.  The increase was due to a 10.6% increase in
     franchise case sales, with growth attributable to the acquisition of
     the franchise territory of Dr Pepper Bottling Company of Galveston,
     Inc. ("Dr Pepper-Galveston") on April 13, 1993 (the "Galveston
     Acquisition") and to strong results from Dr Pepper and 7Up brands. 
     Contract sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1994
     decreased 15.0% from the same period in 1993 due primarily to the
     elimination of contract sales to Dr Pepper-Galveston.  As a result of
     the


























     
<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     foregoing, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994
     increased 5.9% to $74.0 million compared to $69.9 million for the same
     period in 1993.

     Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994 increased to
     $45.6 million compared to $42.5 million for the same period in 1993. 
     The increase was due primarily to an increase in franchise case sales
     as well as increases in the prices paid by the Company for certain raw
     materials, primarily concentrate and sweetener.  Increases in
     concentrate costs were partially offset by cost decreases in other
     ingredients and materials including P.E.T. bottles and aluminum cans. 
     As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales for the three months ended
     March 31, 1994 increased to 61.7% from 60.9% for the same period in
     1993.

     Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1994 decreased
     to $1.5 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 1993. 
     Marketing expenses represented approximately 2.0% of net sales in each
     period.

     Administrative  and  general  expenses  for  the  three  months  ended
     March 31, 1994 increased to $15.0 million compared to $13.9 million
     for the same period in 1993.  The increase was due primarily to an
     increase of $.6 million in labor and employee benefit expenses, an
     increase of $.1 million in fleet expenses under a full service lease
     arrangement, an increase of $.2 million in full service expenses, and
     an increase of $.2 million in other expenses.  Depreciation expense
     for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $1.4 million compared to
     $1.2 million for the same period in 1993.  Amortization of intangible
     assets was $1.4 million, unchanged from the same period in 1993.

     As a result of the above factors, operating profit for the three
     months ended March 31, 1994 decreased to $9.1 million, or 12.3% of net
     sales, compared to $9.3 million, or 13.3% of net sales, for the same
     period in 1993.

     Interest expense for the Company for the three months ended March 31,
     1994 decreased to $5.6 million from $6.2 million for the same period
     in 1993 due to lower interest rates on indebtedness.

     Amortization of the Company's deferred debt issuance costs for the
     three months ended March 31, 1994 was $.3 million, unchanged from the
     same period in 1993.

     Other income for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1994
     was $55,000 compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 1993 due
     to the settlement for $2.5 million in 1993 of the Company's 1988
     lawsuit against Del Monte Corporation for its





























     
<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     refusal to consent to the acquisition of the Company by Holdings and
     the subsequent termination of the Company's license to produce and
     distribute Hawaiian Punch products.

     As a result of the above factors, the Company's income before
     extraordinary item for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $3.3
     million compared to an income of $5.3 million for the same period in
     1993.

     Holdings' amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the three
     months ended March 31, 1994 increased to $.4 million compared to $.3
     million for the same period in 1993.

     Interest expense (including bond accretion on the Discount Notes) for
     Holdings for the three months ended March 31, 1994 increased to $7.8
     million from $7.2 million for the same period in 1993.  The increase
     was due to higher indebtedness as a result of the Recapitalization
     Plan, partially offset by lower interest rates on such indebtedness.  

     As a result of the above factors, Holdings generated income before
     dividends on the Company's Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the
     "Old Preferred Stock") and extraordinary item of $.9 million for the
     three months ended March 31, 1994, compared to income of $4.3 million
     for the same period in 1993.  The net loss before extraordinary item
     for Holdings of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993
     reflects charges of $5.8 million relating to dividends on the
     Company's Old Preferred Stock.  The Old Preferred Stock was classified
     as a minority interest for purposes of the financial statements of
     Holdings.  Extraordinary loss for the three months ended March 31,
     1993 amounted to $32.1 million, due to transactions contemplated by
     the Recapitalization Plan.  There was no extraordinary item for the
     three months ended March 31, 1994.  Holdings generated net income of
     $.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994, compared to a
     net loss of $33.6 million for the same period in 1993.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     -------------------------------
     Holdings conducts business through the Company and has no material
     operations of its own.  The primary asset of Holdings is the common
     stock of the Company.  Accordingly, Holdings is dependent on the cash
     flow of the Company to meet its obligations.  Holdings has no material
     obligations other than those under the Discount Notes, the Preferred
     Stock and any exchange debentures of Holdings into which such stock
     becomes exchangeable, and certain contingent obligations under
     Holdings' guarantee of the Company's obligations under the 1993 Bank
     Credit Agreement.  Holdings, though, is not expected to have any material
     need for cash until interest on the Discount Notes becomes payable in
     cash beginning August 15, 1998.  The Discount Notes will mature in
     2003.  The 1993 Bank Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes indenture
     impose significant restrictions on the payment of dividends and the
     making of loans by the Company to Holdings.  However, the Senior Notes
     indenture allows the Company to pay dividends to Holdings in
     accordance with a specified formula if, after giving effect thereto,
     no event of default, or an event that with the passage of time or the
     giving of notice, or both, would constitute an event of default under
     the Senior Notes indenture shall have occurred and be continuing.  In
     addition, the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement allows the Company to pay
     dividends to Holdings in an amount necessary to make cash interest
     payments on the Discount Notes, provided that no event of default
     exists or would be created under the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement.

     The Company remains highly leveraged following the consummation of the
     transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Plan.  The Company's
     principal use of funds in the future will be the payment of principal
     and interest under the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement and the Senior
     Notes.  As of March 31, 1994, approximately $86.1 million was
     outstanding under the term loan facility of the 1993 Bank Credit
     Agreement.  The Company will be required to repay the principal under
     such term loan facility as follows:  $12.1 million in 1994, $13.8
     million in 1995, $15.5 million in 1996, $17.2 million in each of 1997
     and 1998 and $10.3 million in 1999,  subject to reduction for
     mandatory and optional prepayments.  In addition, the Company will be
     required to further retire the principal amount outstanding under the
     1993 Bank Credit Agreement with Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the
     1993 Bank Credit Agreement).  It is expected that the Company's
     primary sources of financing for its future business activities will
     be funds from operations, together with additional borrowings under
     the revolving line of credit facility of the 1993 Bank Credit
     Agreement.  Such revolving line of credit facility provides for
     revolving loans in an aggregate amount of up to $25 million with a $5
     million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.  The revolving
     line of credit facility of the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement will mature
     in 1999.

     Because the obligations under the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement bear
     interest at floating rates, the Company will be sensitive to changes
     in prevailing interest rates.  As required by the 1993 Bank Credit
     Agreement, the Company entered into interest rate protection
     arrangements, expiring June 28, 1996, in an aggregate notional amount
     equal to $45 million, subject to reduction by $2 million at the end of
     each quarter starting with the quarter ending June 30, 1994.

     The Company had working capital of $5.5 million at March 31, 1994
     compared to working capital of $0.7 million at December 31, 1993.

     Based on the Company's anticipated operating results, management
     believes that the Company's future operating activities will generate
     sufficient cash flows to repay borrowings under the term loan facility
     of the 1993 Bank Credit Agreement as they become due and payable. 
     However, based on such anticipated operating results, management does
     not expect that the Company's future operating activities will
     generate sufficient cash flows to repay the Senior Notes and the
     Discount Notes at their respective maturities.  Accordingly, the
     Company and Holdings expect that they will be required to refinance
     all or substantially all of the Senior Notes and the Discount Notes at
     their respective maturities or sell equity or assets to fund the
     repayment of all or substantially all of the Senior Notes and the
     Discount Notes at their respective maturities, or effect a combination
     of the foregoing.  While the Company and Holdings believe that they
     will be able to refinance the Senior Notes and the Discount Notes at
     or prior to their respective maturities, or raise sufficient funds
     through equity or asset sales to repay such indebtedness, or effect a
     combination of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that such will
     be the case.

     The 1993 Bank Credit Agreement contains numerous financial and
     operating covenants and prohibitions that impose limitations on the
     liquidity of the Company, including requirements that the Company
     satisfy certain financial ratios and maintain certain specified levels
     of net worth, and limitations on the incurrence of additional
     indebtedness.  The indentures governing the Senior Notes and the
     Discount Notes also contain covenants that impose limitations on the
     liquidity of the Company and Holdings, including a limitation on the
     incurrence of additional indebtedness.  The ability of the Company and
     Holdings to meet their debt service requirements and to comply with
     such covenants will be dependent upon future operating performance and
     financial results of the Company, which will be subject to financial,
     economic, competitive and other factors affecting the Company, many of
     which are beyond its control.

     Management believes that its production facilities will be sufficient
     to meet anticipated unit growth for the next several years. 
     Accordingly, management anticipates that capital expenditures in
     respect of such facilities will consist of  expenditures to maintain
     operating efficiency.  Capital expenditures will be required primarily
     for the Company's automobile and truck fleet, vending machines, and
     routine plant,

     bottling, and canning equipment additions or maintenance.  During 1993
     capital expenditures net of assets acquired in the Galveston
     Acquisition totaled $9.0 million.  The Company anticipates that
     capital expenditures will total approximately $7.0 million to $7.25
     million for each of the years 1994 through 1996.
