NOTE B - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company issued 3,000 shares of common stock to a former employee under 
the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan during March 1996 as the employee 
exercised vested options.

During the Second Quarter of 1996, the Company issued 3,200 shares of common 
stock to employees under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan for exercised 
vested options and 10,000 shares of common stock to a consultant under the 
Company's 1995 Incentive Stock Plan for legal services rendered.  The Company 
also authorized 22,500 shares of common stock to be issued during the Third 
Quarter of 1996 under the 1995 Incentive Stock Plan for consulting fees 
incurred and as settlement in a lawsuit regarding a former director of the 
Company.

NOTE C - STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company's Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan") was adopted in 1993.  An 
aggregate of 225,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance 
pursuant to the Option Plan.  The Option Plan is administered by the 
Compensation Committee established by the Board of Directors (the 
"Committee").  The Committee determines, subject to the provisions of the 
Option Plan, the employees to whom options are granted and the number of 
options to be granted. The Committee may grant (i) "incentive stock options" 
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and 
(ii) "non-qualified stock options" (options which do not meet the 
requirements of Section 422). 

Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan must have an exercise 
price equal to at least the fair market value of the common stock at the date 
the option is granted.  Each option granted under the Option Plan may have a 
term of up to ten years, except that incentive stock options granted 

                                  PAGE 4
<PAGE>

to a shareholder who, at the time of grant, owns more than 10% of the voting 
stock of the Company may have a term of up to five years. The exercise price 
of incentive stock options granted to shareholders possessing more than 10% 
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company 
must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company's common 
stock on the date of grant.  As of June 30, 1996, stock options to acquire 
221,000 shares of the Company's common stock have been granted under the 
Option Plan at an exercise price of $2.00 to $2.375 per share. The options 
become exercisable beginning March 30, 1995 through December 28, 1998. As of 
June 30, 1996, 169,000 of these options are exercisable and 6,200 options had 
been exercised.

The Company's Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan ("Non-Employee Director 
Plan") was also adopted in 1993.  An aggregate of 25,000 shares of common 
stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Plan.  
Options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock are automatically granted to 
each person elected for the first time as director of the Company, who is not 
an employee of the Company.  An option to acquire an additional 1,000 shares 
is automatically granted each year thereafter that such director is 
re-elected. Options granted under the Non-Employee Director Plan will not 
qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Options granted under the Non-Employee 
Director Plan expire ten years after date of grant.  As of June 30, 1996, 
12,000 options have been granted under the Non-Employee Director Plan at an 
exercise price of $2.00 to $3.375 per share.  None of these options are 
exercisable as of June 30, 1996.

The Company's Incentive Stock Plan ("Incentive Plan") was adopted in 1995.  
An aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance 
pursuant to the Incentive Plan.  The Incentive Plan is administered by the 
Committee. The Committee determines, subject to the provisions of the 
Incentive Plan, the employees to whom incentives are awarded.  The Committee 
may award (i) "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (ii) "non-qualified  stock options"  
(options  which  do not meet the requirements of Section 422), (iii) shares 
of "restricted stock", and (iv) "stock bonuses".  Subject to the terms of the 
Incentive Plan, the Committee will also determine the prices, expiration 
dates and other material features of the incentive awards. As of June 30, 
1996, 15,000 shares of common stock were issued under the Incentive Plan to 
consultants and an additional 22,500 were authorized to be issued during the 
Third Quarter.

NOTE D - TREASURY STOCK

The Company purchased 2,000 shares of its' common stock for $10,000 at the 
end of the Second Quarter of 1994.  During the Second and Third Quarters of 
1994 and the First Quarter of 1995, the Company issued 700 shares out of 
treasury to various customers.

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

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant 
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating 
results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed financial 
statements.

GENERAL

The Company's revenues consist of sales of the Company's bottled water 
products, rental of water dispensers and sales of cups and other 
miscellaneous items.  The Company's strategy has been to use all available 
capital for expansion and increasing its customer base.  During periods of 
the growth the Company experiences book losses due to expensing all selling 
and commission costs.  This growth in customer accounts has been accompanied 
by increased revenues during 1994 and 1995 and the First Quarter and Second 
Quarter of 1996  The Company attributes the growth in customer accounts in 
1994 and 1995 to aggressive marketing, increased bottled water consumption, a 
change in the type of closed water system and an effective customer retention 
program.  The Company anticipates that its customer base and revenues will 
continue to expand as sales of bottled water increase and the Company 
continues to penetrate the Houston and Dallas/Ft. Worth bottled water 
markets.  Some of the factors that the Company believes may affect the rate 
of increase in bottled water sales include the public perception of the 
quality of municipal supplies and general health concerns.

Transportation expenses include fuel, insurance, repair and maintenance 
expenses associated with the delivery trucks and vans. Driver and supervisor 
salaries are also included in transportation expense.

Depreciation and amortization consist of depreciation of the Company's 
delivery trucks and vans, water dispensers and bottles and the bottling 
plants.

Operating expenses included plant expenses, rent, direct production employee 
costs and raw materials.

Commission and other selling expenses comprise the largest controllable 
component of expenses.  Selling expenses consist primarily of commissions 
paid to the sales force and telemarketing expenses.  Commissions paid on 
customer accounts are expensed as they are incurred.  Commissions represent a 
higher percentage of total expenses during periods when the Company is adding 
accounts at an accelerated rate when compared to other expenses, which are 
not variable.

General and administrative expenses include centralized administration and 
overhead expenses and support costs including utilities, printing, postage, 
and liability insurance.

Other expenses include bad debt, a provision for lost coolers and cash 
over/short. Other expenses also include all nonrecurring expenses which are 
not incurred in the normal course of operations.

Certain reclassifications to prior years' balances were made to conform with 
the current years' presentation.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 (the "Second Quarter 
of 1996") increased 10% to $1,929,000 versus $1,753,000 during the three 
month period ended June 30, 1995 (the "Second Quarter of 1995").  The 
principal reason for the increase in revenues was the increase in the number 
of customer accounts from the Second Quarter of 1995 to the Second Quarter of 
1996 and price increases during October 1995 and April 1996.

Transportation expenses increased 8% during the Second Quarter of 1996 
compared to the Second Quarter of 1995, $407,000 and $376,000 respectively.  
The increase in transportation expenses is due to increased water sales and 
increased fuel cost.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 12% during the Second 
Quarter of 1996 from the Second Quarter of 1995, to $261,000 from $298,000, 
as a result of certain fixed assets of the Company becoming fully depreciated 
for book purposes during 1995 and the First Quarter and Second Quarter of 
1996.

Operating expenses increased 4% during the Second Quarter of 1996 from the 
Second Quarter of 1995, to $361,000 from $347,000, primarily due to increased 
production of water caused by increased sales. The increase is not 
proportional to the increase in revenues due to improved efficiencies in its 
operations.    Commissions and other selling expenses decreased 17% during 
the Second Quarter of 1996 from the Second Quarter of 1995, to $234,000 from 
$283,000.  The Company decreased the marketing costs and growth of the 
Company during the First Quarter of 1996 in order to improve its working 
capital and financial position. The Company began its 1996 marketing program 
in June. 

General and administrative expenses increased 3% during the Second Quarter of 
1996 from the Second Quarter of 1995, to $455,000 from $443,000 due to 
increased support costs caused by increased sales. 

Interest expenses decreased 16% during the Second Quarter of 1996 from the 
Second Quarter of 1995, to $98,000 from $116,000.  The decrease is caused by 
the retirement of debt and capital leases during the Second Quarter of 1996.

Other expenses increased 291% during the Second Quarter of 1996 compared to 
the Second Quarter of 1995, $133,000 and $34,000 respectively. The primary 
reason for the increase is due to the Company settling a lawsuit with a 
former director of the Company regarding stock options and a consulting 
agreement.  The amount of the settlement was paid in cash and stock issued 
under the Company's 1995 Incentive Plan in July 1996.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
  
Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1996  increased 10% to 
$3,705,000 versus $3,366,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 1995. 
The principal reason for the increase in revenues was the increase in the 
number of customer accounts from the Second Quarter of 1995 to the Second 
Quarter of 1996 and price increases.

Transportation expenses increased 9% during the six month period ended June 
30, 1996 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 1995, $834,000 and 
$763,000 respectively.  The increase in transportation expenses is due to 
increased water sales and increased fuel cost.

                                  PAGE 7
<PAGE>

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 9% during the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996 from the six month period ended June 30, 1995, to 
$526,000 from $576,000, as a result of certain fixed assets of the Company 
becoming fully depreciated for book purposes during 1995 and the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996.

Operating expenses increased 13% during the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 from the six month period ended June 30, 1995, to $676,000 from 
$597,000, primarily due to increased production of water caused by increased 
sales. 
  
Commissions and other selling expenses decreased 24% during the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996 from the six month period ended June 30, 1995, to 
$305,000 from $403,000.  The Company decreased the marketing costs and growth 
of the Company during the six month period ended June 30,  1996 in order to 
improve its working capital and financial position. The Company began a 
marketing program during the Second Quarter of 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased 9% during the six month period 
ended June 30, 1996 from the six month period ended June 30, 1995, to 
$935,000 from $858,000 due to increased support costs caused by increased 
sales and legal expenses  incurred in the six month period ended June 30, 
1996. 

Interest expenses increased 6% during the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 from the six month period ended June 30, 1995, to $208,000 from 
$197,000.  The increase is caused by the addition of subordinated debt during 
the Second Quarter of 1995 and financing for plant additions and general 
liability and workman's compensation insurance incurred during the First 
Quarter of 1996.

Other expenses increased 128% during the six month period ended June 30, 1996 
compared to the six month period ended June 30, 1995, $173,000 and $76,000 
respectively. The primary reason for the increase is due to the Company 
settling a lawsuit with a former director of the Company regarding stock 
options and a consulting agreement.  The amount of the settlement was paid in 
cash and stock issued under the Company's 1995 Incentive Plan in July 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has typically financed operations from a combination of vendor 
financing, bank loans and leases, placement of securities and cash generated 
from operations. The Company generated cash of $2,322,500 from its initial 
public offering in 1993.  During 1993 and 1994, approximately $500,000 of the 
proceeds were used for expansion and overhead costs to enter the Dallas/Fort 
Worth market place, approximately $1,500,000 was used for commissions and 
selling costs to increase the customer base and approximately $300,000 was 
used for working capital.  The Company acquires water coolers and cooler 
equipment through vendor financing.  The Company leases its water processing 
and bottling plants and various trucks from financial institutions under 
capital lease arrangements. Additional trucks and equipment are obtained 
under operating leases. 

Net cash from operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 
1996 and the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was $799,000 and $562,000 
respectively. The increase is due to decreased marketing  expenses and 
increased sales.

                                        ----------     ----------

During the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company made capital 
expenditures of $147,000 for plant equipment, water bottles and truck 
improvements. No significant capital expenditures are anticipated in the near 
future. 

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's long-term debt amounted to $549,000 in 
bank debt, $2,683,000 in vendor financing and $445,000 in convertible 
subordinated debt. The Company has capital lease commitments of $236,000. 

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company was in default of the net worth 
covenant of a bank loan agreement.  The loan balance was refinanced with a 
new bank to cure the default position. The note is due in monthly 
installments with interest at prime plus 2%, adjusted quarterly, through 
October 1998. The note is collateralized by  accounts receivable, inventory, 
equipment vehicles, the assignment of a life insurance policy on a 
shareholder and 400,000 shares held by a principal shareholder. The note is 
guaranteed by a corporation related through common ownership up to 37.5% of 
the outstanding balance and is guaranteed by the Small Business 
Administration up to 75% of the outstanding balance. The agreement contains 
no financial covenant restrictions. 

During the Second Quarter of 1996, the Company obtained bank financing of 
$21,600 for the purchase of plant equipment previously financed as a capital 
lease. The principal balance is due  in monthly payments of $600 with 
interest at prime plus 2%. 

On May 1, 1996 the Company applied $45,000 in accrued interest to the 
principal balance of the convertible subordinated debt as per the loan 
agreement with a cooler manufacturer located in Europe.

Management's strategy is based on increasing the value of the Company by 
increasing the customer base. Expenses related to new customer acquisitions 
were greatly decreased during the Fourth Quarter of 1995 and the first 
quarter of 1996 in order to improve the Company's working capital position. 
During the Second Quarter of 1996 the Company reestablished it's marketing 
team and began adding new customers.  The marketing program is being funded 
by internally generated cash from operations. Because the Company records the 
marketing expense associated with the implementation of its growth strategy 
in the period in which such expenses are incurred, the Company's earnings 
will initially decrease for a period in which the Company experiences rapid 
growth.  Despite the short-term effect of growth on earnings, the Company 
believes that its strategy of increasing the size of its customer base will 
enhance shareholder value and improve the financial performance of the 
Company.

The Company will not be able to expand significantly or enter into  new 
markets until additional financing is acquired.  There can be no assurance 
that such arrangements will become available on terms acceptable to the 
Company.

DEFINITIONS: As used on page 1, "/X/" means the terms that apply to this 
loan. "I," "me" or "my" means each Borrower who signs this note and each 
other person of legal entity (including guarantors, endorsers, and sureties) 
who agrees to pay this note (together referred to as "us"). "You" or "your" 
means the Lender and its successors and assigns.
APPLICABLE LAW: The law of the state of Texas will govern this note. Any term 
of this note which is contrary to applicable law will not be effective, 
unless the law permits you and me to agree to such a variation. If any 
provision of this agreement cannot be enforced according to its terms, this 
fact will not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this agreement. 
No modification of this agreement may be made without your express written 
consent. Time is of the essence in this agreement.
PAYMENTS: Each payment I make on this note will first reduce the amount I owe 
you for charges which are neither interest nor principal. The remainder of 
each payment will then reduce accrued unpaid interest, and then unpaid 
principal. If you and I agree to a different application of payments, we will 
describe our agreement on this note. I may prepay a part of, or the entire 
balance of this loan without penalty, unless we specify to the contrary on 
this note. Any partial prepayment will not excuse or reduce any later 
scheduled payment until this note is paid in full (unless, when I make this 
prepayment, you and I agree in writing to the contrary).
INTEREST: Interest accrues on the principal remaining unpaid from time to 
time, until paid in full. If I receive the principal in more then one 
advance, each advance will start to earn interest only when I receive the 
advance. The Interest rate in effect on this note at any given time will 
apply to the entire principal advanced at that time. Notwithstanding anything 
to the contrary, I do not agree to pay and you do not intend to charge any 
rate of interest that is higher then the maximum rate of interest you could 
charge under applicable law for the extension of credit that is agreed to 
here (either before or after maturity). If any notice of interest accrual is 
sent and is in error, we mutually agree to correct it, and if you actually 
collect more interest than allowed by law and this agreement, you agree to 
refund it to me.
INDEX RATE: The index will serve only as a device for setting the rate on 
this note. You do not gurantee by selecting this index, or the margin, that 
the rate on this note will be the same rate you charge on any other loans or 
class of loans to me or other borrowers.
ACCRUAL METHOD: The amount of interest that I will pay on this loan will be 
calculated using the interest rate and accrual method stated on page 1 of 
this note. For the purpose of interest calculation, the accrual method will 
determine the number of days in a "year," if no accrual method is stated, 
then you may use any reasonable accrual method for calculating interest.
POST MATURITY RATE: For purposes of deciding when the "Post Maturity Rate" 
(shown on page 1) applies, the term "maturity" means the date of the last 
scheduled payment indicated on page 1 of this note or the date you accelerate 
payment on the note, whichever is earlier.
SINGLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a single advance loan, you and I expect that 
you will make only one advance of principal. However, you may add other 
amounts to the principal if you make any payments described in the "PAYMENTS 
BY LENDER" paragraph below.
MULTIPLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a multiple advance loan, you and I expect 
that you will make more then one advance of principal. If this is closed and 
credit, repaying a part of the principal will not entire me to additional 
credit.
PAYMENTS BY LENDER: If you are authorized to pay, on my behalf, charges I am 
obligated to pay (such as property insurance premiums), then you may treat 
those payments made by you as advances and add them to the unpaid principal 
under this note, or you may demand immediate payments of the charges.
SET-OFF: I agree that you may set off any amount due and payable under this 
note against any right I have to receive money from you.
   "Right to receive money from you" means:
   (1) any deposit account balance I have with you;
   (2) any money owed to me on an Item presented to you or in your possession 
       for collection or exchange; and
   (3) any repurchase agreement or other nondeposit obligation.
   "Any amount due and payable under this note" means the total amount of 
which you are entitled to demand payment under the terms of this note at the 
time you set off. This total includes any balance the due date for which you 
properly accelerate under this note.
   If my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has not 
agreed to pay this note, your right of set-off will apply to my interest in 
the obligation and to any other amounts I could withdraw on my sole request 
or endorsement. Your right of set-off does not apply to an account or other 
obligation where my rights are only as a representative. It also does not 
apply to any Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement 
account.
   You will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor 
occurs because you set off this debt against any of my accounts. I agree to 
hold you harmless from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise 
of your right to set-off.
REAL ESTATE OR RESIDENCE SECURITY: If this note is secured by real estate or 
a residence that is personal property, the existence of a default and your 
remedies for such a default will be determined by applicable law, by the 
terms of any separate instrument creating the security interest and, to the 
extent not prohibited by law and not contrary to the terms of the separate 
security instrument, by the "Default" and "Remedies" paragraphs herein.
DEFAULT: I will be in default on this loan and any agreement securing this 
loan if any one or more of the following occurs:
   (1) I fail to perform any obligation which I have undertaken in this note 
       or any agreement securing this note; or
   (2) you, in good faith, believe that the prospect of payment or the 
       prospect of my performance of any other of my obligations under this 
       note or any agreement securing this note is impaired.
   If any of us are in default on this note or any security agreement, you 
may exercise your remedies against any or all of us.
REMEDIES: If I am in default of this note you have, but are not limited to, 
the following remedies:
   (1) You may demand immediate payment of my debt under this note 
       (principal, accrued unpaid interest any other accrued charges).
   (2) You may set off this debt against any right I have to the payment of 
       money from you, subject to the terms of this "Set-Off" paragraph herein.
   (3) You may demand security, additional security, or additional parties to 
       be obligated to pay this note as a condition for not using any other 
       remedy.
   (4) You may refuse to make advances to me or allow purchases on credit by 
       me.
   (5) You may use any remedy you have under state or federal law.
   By selecting any one or more of those remedies you do not give up your 
right to later use any other remedy. By waiving your right to declare an 
event to be a default, you do not waive your right to later consider the 
event as a default if it continues or happens again.
COLLECTION COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES: I agree to pay all costs of collection, 
replevin or any other or similar type of cost if I am in default. In 
addition, if you hire an attorney to collect this note, I also agree to pay 
any fee you incur with such attorney plus court costs (except where 
prohibited by law). To the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy 
Code, I also agree to pay the reasonable attorney's fees and costs you incur 
to collect this debt as awarded by any court exercising jurisdiction under 
the Bankruptcy Code.
WAIVER: I give up my rights to require you to do certain things. I will not 
require you to:
   (1) demand payment of amounts due (presentment);
   (2) obtain official certification of nonpayment (protest);
   (3) give notice that amounts due have not been paid (notice of dishonor);
   (4) give notice of intent to accelerate; or
   (5) give notice of acceleration.
   I waive any defenses I have based on suretyship or impairment of 
collateral.
OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT: I understand that I must pay this note even if 
someone else has also agreed to pay it (by, for example, signing this form or 
a separate guarantee or endorsement). You may sue me alone, or anyone else 
who is obligated on this note, or any number of us together, to collect this 
note. You may do so without any notice that it has not been paid (notice of 
dishonor). You may without notice release any party to this agreement without 
releasing any other party. If you give up any of your rights, with or without
notice, it will not affect my duty to pay this note. Any extension of new 
credit to any of us, or renewal of this note by all or less than all of us 
will not release me from my duty to pay it. (Of course, you are entitled to 
only one payment in full.) I agree that you may at your option extend this 
note or the debt represented by this note, or any portion of the note or 
debt, from time to time without limit or notice and for any term without 
affecting my liability for payment of the note. I will not assign my 
obligation under this agreement without your prior written approval.
CREDIT INFORMATION: I agree and authorize you to obtain credit information 
about me from time to time (for example, by requesting a credit report) and 
to report to others your credit experience with me (such as a credit 
reporting agency). I agree to provide you, upon request, any financial 
statement or information you may deem necessary. I warrant that the financial 
statements and information I provide to you are or will be accurate, correct 
and complete.
NOTICE: Unless otherwise required by law, any notice to me shall be given by 
delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail addressed to me at my last 
known address. My current address is on page 1. I agree to inform you in 
writing of any change in my address. I will give any notice to you by mailing 
it first class to your address stated on page 1 of this agreement, or to any 
other address that you have designated.
