                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Owner of
Grogan's Farm, Inc. and Grogan's Sausage, Inc.:

We have audited the  accompanying  combined balance sheet of Grogan's Farm, Inc.
(a Kentucky  company),  Grogan's Sausage,  Inc. (a Kentucky company) and certain
assets of the  stockholders  as of September 30, 1996, and the related  combined
statement of operations,  changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
twelve  months ended  September 30, 1996.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the combined  financial position of Grogan's Farm, Inc.
and  Grogan's  Sausage,  Inc. as of September  30, 1996,  and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996



1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  financial  statements  present the accounts of Grogan's Farm,
Inc.  (Grogan's Farm),  Grogan's Sausage,  Inc.  (Grogan's  Sausage) and certain
assets  owned  by the  stockholders  ("the  stockholders"),  (collectively  "the
Company"),  which operate a hog slaughtering and meat processing  facility and a
distribution  operation,  primarily serving Western Kentucky and the surrounding
area.  Grogan's Farm operates on a calendar year basis,  while Grogan's  Sausage
operates under a fiscal year ending September 30. The accompanying balance sheet
reflects  the  combined  financial  position  as  of  September  30,  1996.  The
accompanying  statements  of  operations,  stockholders'  equity  and cash flows
reflect the combined results of operations for the twelve months ended September
30, 1996. All  significant  intercompany  transactions  have been  eliminated in
combination.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records sales when product is delivered to the customers.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and is comprised primarily of
livestock, packaged meat products, raw materials and packaging supplies. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property,   plant  and  equipment  consists  of  land,  buildings  and  building
improvements, office and warehouse equipment and delivery vehicles and is stated
at cost.  Depreciation on buildings and building improvements is provided for on
the  straight-line  method  over  7 to 25  years.  Depreciation  on  office  and
warehouse  equipment and delivery  vehicles is provided for on the straight-line
method over five-year to eight-year estimated useful lives of the assets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles  requires  management to make estimates and  assumptions.
These  estimates  and  assumptions  affect  the  reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues,  expenses,  gains
and losses during the reporting periods.  While actual results could differ from
these estimates, management believes that these estimates are reasonable.

Per APB 16, Paragraph 74, the value of marketable equity securities issued to
effect a purchase business combination should be determined based on the market
price of the securities over a reasonable period of time before and after the
two companies have reached an agreement on the purchase price and the proposed
transaction is announced. Since the market price stayed fairly constant around
the agreement date and when the agreement was announced, ABEV will use the stock
price at the effective date (Oct. 1)
