              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                                    Unaudited
                               September 30, 1994


     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 September 30, 1994, the related consolidated
          condensed statements of operations for the three months and nine
          months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, the related
          consolidated condensed statements of stockholders' deficit for
          the nine months ended September 30, 1994, and the related
          consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the nine
          months ended September 30, 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
























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

          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 September 30, 1994, the Company had no balance outstanding
          on the revolving line of credit facility of the 1993 Bank Credit
          Agreement.  The facilities mature September 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 investments,
          capital expenditures, additional debt and payments 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 September 30, 1989, in connection with the
          sale/leaseback of its Irving and

























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

          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.

     7.   LONG-TERM DEBT
          --------------
          Long-term debt at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 is
          summarized as follows:

     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.

          During October 1994, the Company purchased $3.5 million aggregate
          principal amount of its outstanding Senior Notes at an aggregate
          purchase price (excluding commissions) of $3.6 million.  The
          purchase price was funded from cash on hand.

          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
          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.

          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.

























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

          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

     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. 











<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

          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:

</TABLE>

          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 taxable 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 weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

     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.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 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 SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

                              ------------------
     Net sales, excluding contract sales, for the three months ended
     September 30, 1994 increased to $85.0 million compared to $79.9
     million for the same period in 1993.  The increase was due to a 4.7%
     increase in franchise case sales, with growth attributable to strong
     results from Dr Pepper and 7UP brands.  Contract sales revenue for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 decreased 8.2% from the same
     period in 1993 due to  a reduction in regular contract sales which was
     partially offset by increased private label contract sales.  As a
     result of the foregoing, net sales for the three months ended
     September 30, 1994 increased 5.2% to $91.2 million compared to $86.7
     million for the same period in 1993.























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1994 increased
     to $60.0 million compared to $55.7 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, sweetener, and plastic
     bottles.  These increased costs were partially offset by reduced cost
     of aluminum cans.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 increased to 65.8% from 64.3%
     for the same period in 1993.

     Marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1994 were 
     $1.9 million, unchanged from the same period in 1993.  Marketing

     Administrative  and  general  expenses  for  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1994 increased to $16.9 million compared to $16.8
     million for the same period in 1993.  Depreciation expense for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 was $1.4 million, unchanged from
     the same period in 1993.  Amortization of intangible assets decreased
     to $1.3 million from $1.5 million for the same period in 1993.

     As a result of the above factors, operating profit for the three
     months ended September 30, 1994 increased to $9.7 million, or 10.6% of
     net sales, compared to $9.4 million, or 10.8% of net sales, for the
     same period in 1993.

     Interest expense for the Company for the three months ended September
     30, 1994 decreased to $5.6 million from $6.0 million for the same
     period in 1993 due to reduction of debt.

     Amortization of the Company's deferred debt issuance costs for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 was $.3 million, unchanged from
     the same period in 1993.

     Holdings for the three months ended September 30, 1994 decreased to

     decrease was due to lower indebtedness.

     As a result of the above factors, Holdings generated net income of
     $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1994 compared to
     $1.0 million for the same period in 1993.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
     ---------------------    ------------------------------------
                              COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
                              -----------------------------
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1993
                              ------------------
     Net sales, excluding contract sales, for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1994 increased to $233.3 million compared to $218.8
     million for the same period in 1993.  The increase was due to an 7.3%
     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 nine months ended September
     30, 1994 decreased 1.0% from the same period in 1993 due to a
     reduction in regular contract sales partially offset by lower margin
     private label contract sales volume.  As a result of the foregoing,
     net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased 6.0%
     to $252.0 million compared to $237.7 million for the same period in
     1993.

     Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased
     to $161.2 million compared to $148.7 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, sweetener, and plastic
     bottles.  These increases in costs were partially offset by reduced
     cost of aluminum cans.  As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased to 64.0% from
     62.6% for the same period in 1993.

     Marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
     increased to $5.4 million compared to $5.3 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  nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1994 increased to $48.0 million compared to $45.9
     million for the same period in 1993.  The increase was due primarily
     to an increase of $1.3 million in labor and employee benefit expenses,
     an increase of $.3 million in fleet expenses under a full service
     lease arrangement, and an increase of $.5 million in full service
     commissions. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September
     30, 1994 was $4.2 million compared to $3.9 million for the same period
     in 1993.  Amortization of intangible assets was $3.9 million compared
     to $4.3 million for the same period in 1993.

     As a result of the above factors, operating profit for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1994 decreased to $29.2 million, or






















<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     11.6% of net sales, compared to $29.6 million, or 12.5% of net sales,
     for the same period in 1993.

     Interest expense for the Company for the nine months ended September
     30, 1994 decreased to $16.7 million from $18.1 million for the same
     period in 1993 due to reduction of debt.

     Amortization of the Company's deferred debt issuance costs for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $1.0 million, unchanged from
     the same period in 1993.

     Other income for the Company for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 was $.2 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period in
     1993.  The 1993 amount included $2.5 million paid to the Company in
     settlement of its 1988 lawsuit against Del Monte Corporation for their
     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 income
     taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $11.7 million
     compared to an income of $13.1 million for the same period in 1993. 
     Income tax expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
     $.1 million.  Net income before extraordinary item for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1994 was $11.6 million compared to an income of
     $13.1 million for the mine months ended September 30, 1994.  

     Holdings' amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1994 increased to $1.3 million compared to
     $1.2 million for the same period in 1993.

     Interest expense (including bond accretion on the Discount Notes) for
     Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased to
     $23.7 million from $23.3 million for the same period in 1993.  The
     increase was due to higher indebtedness initially, as a result of the
     Recapitalization Plan, and to higher interest rates on bank debt.

     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 $4.4 million for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared to $7.7 million for the
     same period in 1993.  The net income before extraordinary item for
     Holdings of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30,
     1993 amounted to $32.3 million, due to transactions contemplated by
     the Recapitalization Plan.  There was no extraordinary item for the


























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Holdings generated net income
     of $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared
     to a net loss of $30.4 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 September 30, 1994, approximately $75.7 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:  $3.6 million during the last
     three months of 1994, $13.8 million in 1995, $15.5 million in 1996,
     $17.2 million in each of 1997 and 1998 and $4.8 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


























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     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. 
     During October 1994, the Company purchased $3.5 million aggregate
     principal amount of its outstanding Senior Notes at an aggregate
     purchase price (excluding commissions) of $3.6 million.  The purchase
     price was funded from cash on hand.

     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 September 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 $1.7 million at September 30, 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

























<PAGE>

<PAGE>
     

     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 anticipates expansion related capital expenditures in 1995
     to service volume growth at several locations.  During 1993 capital
     expenditures net of assets acquired in the Galveston Acquisition
     totaled $8.3 million.  The Company anticipates that capital
     expenditures will total approximately $7.5 million to $8.0 million for
     each of the years 1994 through 1996.
