1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Excelsior Springs Water Co., Inc. (the Company) bottles and
distributes natural spring water in both reusable five gallon bottles
and disposable bottles of various sizes. The Company also rents water
coolers for use with the five gallon bottles, and distributes coffee
and other related products. Water conditioning and filtration equipment
was added as an additional product for resale.
As of August 27, 1997 the Company was acquired through a
purchase type transaction by Vermont Pure Springs, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Vermont Pure Holdings, Ltd.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method. The composition of the
Company's inventories consists of the packaging materials for water
products as well as coffee products.
B. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method and accelerated methods over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the respective lease terms or the service lives of the
improvements, whichever is shorter.
C. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents all cash
accounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties,
and all highly liquid instruments, with original maturities of three
months or less.
E. Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosure about the fair value of all financial instruments. Carrying
amounts of all financial instruments approximate fair value as of
October 31, 1996.

long-lived assets whenever the sum of the expected future cash flows
from their use is less than their carrying amount. Based on the

assets was evident.

<S> <C>
Notes payable at interest rates ranging from 8.00% to 9.75%.
Payable in monthly installments of principal and interest through
2002. 85% guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. $ 102,906
Notes payable based on settlement terms. Payable in monthly
installments of $2,000 through April 1997 with a balloon payment
due in the amount of $68,000 on May 1, 1997. 80,000

Less: current installments of long-term debt 486,011

===============
</TABLE>
During 1996 the Company was notified by its bank that the
maturity of the notes payable guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business
Administration has been accelerated. The Company disputes the bank's
right to accelerate the note. Because of acceleration, the entire
balance of these notes payable has been classified as a current
liability.
During 1991, certain holders of unsecured notes issued by the
Company containing provisions allowing for their conversion into common
stock agreed to accept new notes in their place upon maturity rather
than exercise their conversion feature. The new notes, which matured on
October 31, 1992, do not contain any conversion features. One holder of
the original notes has elected to exercise its conversion feature;
however, as of October 31, 1996, the common stock has not been issued.
A number of holders of the original notes have declined to sign new
notes or exercise the conversion feature. As a result of the above, the
outstanding principal balance, including capitalized interest, of
$245,943 is included in current installments of long-term debt at

As a condition to the agreement that resulted in, among other
things, the one shareholder's relinquishment of his right to accrued
rents, royalties and interest, as described above, the Company granted
a secondary security interest in the equipment located on the Company's
property, as well as a secondary interest in any and all accounts

expense due to shareholders in the amount of $24,000. Accrued rent
included in other liabilities totaled $0 at October 31, 1996.
In addition, the Company is required to pay royalties to the

Company recorded royalty expense due to shareholders in the amount of
$26,260. Accrued royalties included in other liabilities totaled $0 at

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements have been
prepared to show the effects of the August 27,1997 acquisition of Excelsior

on November 1, 1995, adjusted to reflect goodwill amortization, amortization of
