                                 INTRODUCTION

General

  This document is being mailed to shareholders of Pepsi-Cola Puerto Rico
Bottling Company ("PPR") on or about September 9, 1999 in connection with the
solicitation by PPR's Board of Directors of proxies for use at a Special
Meeting of Shareholders of PPR (the "Special Meeting") to be held at the
Marquette Hotel, 710 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Friday,
October 1, 1999, at 9:30 a.m. local time. The Special Meeting has been called
for the following purposes:

  1. To approve the issuance of 65,070,006 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock
     in connection with the proposed acquisition of Delta Beverage Group,
     Inc. and Dakota Beverage Company, Inc. pursuant to exchange agreements,
     dated June 28, 1999.

  2. To approve an amendment to PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to
     increase the number of authorized shares of PPR capital stock to
     150,000,000 from 40,000,000 and to increase the number of authorized
     shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to 145,000,000 from 35,000,000.

  3. To approve an amendment to PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to change
     PPR's name to PepsiAmericas, Inc.

  4. To approve PPR's 1999 Stock Option Plan.

  PPR has entered into exchange agreements with the shareholders of Delta
Beverage Group, Inc. ("Delta") and Dakota Beverage Company, Inc. ("Dakota")
that would result in Delta and Dakota becoming subsidiaries of PPR. If
approved by PPR's shareholders, PPR will issue 65,070,006 shares of PPR Class
B Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Delta
and Dakota. The shareholders of Delta and Dakota have already agreed to
exchange their various common equity interests for PPR Class B Common Stock,
subject to the satisfaction of various conditions as described in this
document.

  The acquisitions cannot be completed unless approved by PPR's shareholders.
PPR's Board of Directors has scheduled the Special Meeting to vote on the
acquisitions. This document gives you detailed information about the proposed
acquisitions.

  PPR's Board of Directors has, upon the recommendation of a special committee
consisting of its independent directors (the "Special Committee"), determined
that the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota through the issuance of PPR Class B
Common Stock under the exchange agreements is fair to, advisable and in the
best interests of PPR's shareholders. PPR's Board of Directors has also
approved the amendment to PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of capital stock, the amendment to PPR's
Certificate of Incorporation to change PPR's name to PepsiAmericas, Inc. and
the adoption of PPR's 1999 Stock Option Plan. PPR's Board of Directors
recommends a vote "FOR" approval of each proposal.

                                       1

Record Date

  PPR's Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on September 7,
1999 as the record date for determining the holders of PPR common stock
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. Only holders of
PPR common stock at the close of business on the record date will be entitled
to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting.

Outstanding Common Stock

  The voting securities of PPR outstanding on the record date consisted of
5,000,000 shares of PPR Class A Common Stock, entitling the holders thereof to
six votes per share, and 16,690,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock,
entitling the holders thereof to one vote per share. PPR had no other class of
voting securities outstanding on the record date.

Voting and Solicitation

  The enclosed proxy is being solicited by PPR's Board of Directors to provide
each shareholder with an opportunity to vote, whether or not the shareholder
attends in person. Shares cannot be voted at the Special Meeting unless the
owner of record is present to vote or is represented by a proxy executed in
writing by the shareholder or the shareholder's duly authorized attorney-in-
fact. Holders of PPR common stock will vote as a single class on all matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders at the Special Meeting, except that the
proposal to amend PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of PPR capital stock will also be voted upon separately by
the holders of PPR Class B Common Stock. Approval of all matters at the
Special Meeting requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares
present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled
to vote.

  Approval of the acquisitions does not require the vote of Delta's
shareholders or Dakota's shareholders. Each Delta shareholder has entered into
an exchange agreement relating to the acquisition of Delta (the "Delta
Exchange Agreement") and has consented to the acquisition described therein
and each Dakota shareholder has entered into an exchange agreement relating to
the acquisition of Dakota (the "Dakota Exchange Agreement") and has consented
to the acquisition described therein.

  PPR will pay all expenses incurred in connection with this solicitation,
including the cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing this proxy soliciting
material. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by
personal interview, telephone and telegram by the directors, officers and
regular employees of PPR. Such persons will receive no additional compensation
for such services. Further, PPR has retained Georgeson Shareholder
Communications Inc. to assist it in connection with the solicitation of
proxies, which may be by mail, telephone or personal solicitation. In
connection therewith, PPR will pay fees and expenses estimated at $12,500.
Arrangements will also be made with certain brokerage firms and certain other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation
materials to the beneficial owners of PPR common stock held of record by such
persons, and such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be
reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in
connection therewith.

Revocability of Proxies

  Any shareholder who executes and returns a proxy may revoke it at any time
before it is voted. Any shareholder who wishes to revoke a proxy can do so by
(a) executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering
it to the secretary of PPR prior to the vote at the Special Meeting, (b)
filing a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy with
the secretary of PPR prior to the vote at the Special Meeting, or (c)
appearing in person at the Special Meeting, filing a written notice of
revocation and voting in person the shares to which the proxy relates. Any
written notice or subsequent proxy should be delivered to Pepsi-Cola Puerto
Rico Bottling Company, Carretera 865, Km. 0.4, Barrio Candelaria Arenas, Toa
Baja, Puerto Rico 00949, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or hand-delivered to
the inspector of election at the Special Meeting, prior to the vote.

Quorum; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes

  A majority of the shares entitled to vote must be present in person or by
proxy to constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. A quorum must be present
at the Special Meeting for any shareholder action to be effective. After a
quorum has been established, a withdrawal of shareholders that reduces the
number of shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting below the
number required for a quorum does not affect the validity of an adjournment of
the Special Meeting or any action taken at the Special Meeting prior to the
shareholders' withdrawal. Shares that are not present at the Special Meeting,
either in person or by proxy, cannot count towards a quorum. Also, shares are
not considered present for quorum purposes if a shareholder attends the
Special Meeting only to protest the legality of the Special Meeting. Treasury
shares, shares of PPR common stock owned by another corporation the majority
of the voting stock of which is owned or controlled by PPR, and shares of PPR
common stock that it holds in a fiduciary capacity may not be voted, directly
or indirectly, at any meeting, and will not be counted in determining the
total number of outstanding shares at any time. All votes will be tabulated by
the inspector of election for the Special Meeting, who will separately
tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

  If a properly executed proxy is returned and the shareholder has abstained
from voting on any matter, the shares represented by such proxy will be
considered present at the Special Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum
and for purposes of calculating the vote, but will not be considered to have
been voted in favor of such matter.

  If a properly executed proxy is returned by a broker holding shares in
street name which indicates that the broker does not have discretionary
authority as to certain shares to vote on one or more matters, such shares
will be considered present at the Special Meeting for purposes of determining
a quorum, but will not be considered to be represented at the Special Meeting
for purposes of calculating the vote with respect to such matter. Under the
rules of the NYSE, brokers who hold shares in street name for customers will
have the authority to vote on the matters before the Special Meeting only if
they have transmitted these proxy soliciting materials to the beneficial owner
of the shares and have received voting instructions from the beneficial
owners.

                             QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. Why is PPR acquiring Delta and Dakota?

A. PPR believes the acquisitions will provide significant benefits to its
   shareholders. The companies are currently independent bottlers and
   distributors of primarily PepsiCo products. Combined, they are expected to
   become one of the anchor bottlers of PepsiCo, Inc. As a larger entity, PPR
   believes it will have enhanced operating efficiencies, improved access to
   capital and increased buying power. PPR also expects to manufacture,
   distribute and market PepsiCo products in exclusive franchise territories
   that include Puerto Rico and portions of nine states. Based on these
   assumptions, PPR's revenues would have been approximately 440% greater than
   existing PPR on a pro forma basis for the fiscal year ended December 31,
   1998. To review the background and reasons for the acquisitions in greater
   detail, see pages 31 through 35.

Q. What am I being asked to vote on?

A. PPR shareholders are being asked to approve the following proposals at the
   Special Meeting:

  .  The issuance of 65,070,006 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to Delta
     and Dakota shareholders pursuant to the exchange agreements. NYSE rules
     require PPR to obtain such approval.

  .  An amendment to PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
     number of authorized shares of PPR capital stock to 150,000,000 from
     40,000,000 and to increase the number of authorized shares of PPR Class
     B Common Stock to 145,000,000 from 35,000,000.

  .  An amendment to PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to change PPR's name
     to PepsiAmericas, Inc.

  .  The adoption of PPR's 1999 Stock Option Plan.

Q. Who will receive PPR stock in the acquisitions?

A. PPR shareholders will not receive additional PPR common stock, but will be
   shareholders of a substantially larger company as a result of the
   acquisitions. Delta shareholders will receive 18,310,006 shares of PPR
   Class B Common Stock in exchange for all the Delta common stock and Dakota
   shareholders will receive 46,760,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock in
   exchange for all the Dakota stock. PPR has agreed to register for resale
   the shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to be issued under the exchange
   agreements within 180 days of the completion of the acquisitions.

Q. When do you expect the acquisitions to be completed?

A. PPR is seeking to complete the acquisitions by the end of October 1999.

Q. Will the acquisitions result in a change in control of PPR?

A. No. Pohlad Companies currently holds a 33.1% economic interest in PPR and
   52.8% voting power over PPR. Pohlad Companies also currently has voting
   control over Dakota and Delta. Following the acquisitions, based on the

Q. What do I need to do now?

A. After you have reviewed this document, indicate on your proxy card how you
   want to vote, sign it and mail it in the enclosed return envelope as soon
   as possible, so that your shares will be represented at the Special
   Meeting.

Q. Can I change my vote?

  Yes. The Special Meeting will take place on Friday, October 1, 1999, at
  9:30 a.m. local time, at the Marquette Hotel, 710 Marquette Avenue,
  Minneapolis, Minnesota. You may attend the Special Meeting and vote your
  shares in person, rather than signing and mailing your proxy card. In
  addition, you may withdraw your proxy and change your vote any time before
  the vote is taken at the Special Meeting by following the directions on
  page 2.

Q. If my shares are held in "street name" by my broker, will my broker vote my

   broker.

Q. Do I need to send in my stock certificates?

A. No. You should retain your stock certificates because the acquisitions will
   not require you to surrender them at any time. The acquisitions will not
   change the number of PPR shares you hold; however, your percentage interest
   in PPR will decrease as a result of the acquisitions.

Q. Who do I contact with questions?

A. If you have questions about the acquisitions, you may call Mr. John F.
   Bierbaum, Chief Financial Officer of PPR, at (612) 661-3830.

The Acquisitions (see pages 31 through 41)

  PPR will issue 18,310,006 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to the
shareholders of Delta and 46,760,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to the
shareholders of Dakota. In the aggregate, these shares will constitute
approximately 79.6% of the PPR Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately
after the acquisitions, based on the number of shares outstanding on August
31, 1999.

  The principal legal documents governing the acquisitions are the Delta
Exchange Agreement and the Dakota Exchange Agreement, which are attached as
Appendix A and Appendix B to this document.

  The structure of the acquisitions contemplated by the Delta Exchange
Agreement and the Dakota Exchange Agreement may be summarized as follows:

  .  Pohlad Companies will form a wholly owned subsidiary, DakBev, LLC, with
     seven wholly owned limited liability companies. Dakota will merge into
     DakBev and Dakota's wholly owned subsidiaries will merge into DakBev's
     subsidiary limited liability companies (collectively these transactions
     are referred to as the "DakBev Merger").

  .  Beverages, Foods & Service Industries, Inc. ("BFSI") and Pepsi-Cola
     Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc. ("Metropolitan), both wholly owned
     subsidiaries of PepsiCo, and Pohlad Companies will form and be the sole
     members of Dakota, LLC. Pohlad Companies will contribute all of its
     membership interests in DakBev (the "DakBev Membership Units"), its
     interest in P-PR Transfer, LLP and its Delta common stock to Dakota,
     LLC. Metropolitan will contribute shares of capital stock of PepsiCo
     and, subject to its rights and obligations under the Delta Exchange
     Agreement, Delta common stock to Dakota, LLC in exchange for a
     membership interest therein. Simultaneously, BFSI will contribute its
     interest in P-PR Transfer, LLP to Dakota, LLC in exchange for a
     membership interest therein.

  .  Simultaneously with, and as a condition to, the exchange of PPR Class B
     Common Stock for all of the DakBev Membership Units, PPR will acquire
     all of the issued and outstanding shares of Delta in exchange for
     18,310,006 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. As a result, Delta will
     become a subsidiary of PPR.

  .  PPR will issue 46,760,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to Dakota,
     LLC in exchange for all of the DakBev Membership Units. As a result,
     DakBev will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PPR.

  The following diagrams show the present ownership of PPR, Delta and Dakota,
and the ownership of these companies after the proposed acquisitions are
completed. The tables following the diagrams show ownership as a percentage of
shares outstanding as of August 31, 1999 and as if the acquisitions occurred
on August 31, 1999.

present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled
to vote.

Indemnification Letter (see page 35)

  PPR has agreed to maintain, until the sixth anniversary of the acquisitions,
a directors, officers and company liability policy.

Voting Agreement (see page 35)

  P-PR Transfer, LLP, through which Pohlad Companies and PepsiCo own a
majority of the voting power of the PPR common stock, has entered into a
voting agreement with PPR. Under the terms of the voting agreement, P-PR
Transfer, LLP is required to vote its shares of PPR common stock in favor of
the acquisitions. As a result, assuming that the proposal to amend PPR's
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
PPR capital stock passes, passage of the proposal to issue 65,070,006 shares
of PPR Class B Common Stock to Delta and Dakota shareholders is assured.

Opinion and Analysis of Financial Advisor to the Special Committee (see pages
35 through 39)

  In deciding whether to approve the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota, the
Special Committee and PPR's Board of Directors considered the opinion, dated
June 28, 1999, of the Special Committee's financial advisor, Bear, Stearns &
Co. Inc. ("Bear Stearns"), that, as of the date of the opinion, and based upon
and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth
therein, the exchange ratio provided in the exchange agreements was fair, from
a financial point of view, to the shareholders of PPR. The full text of the
opinion, which describes the procedures followed, the factors considered and
the assumptions made by Bear Stearns, is attached as Appendix C to this
document. PPR shareholders should read the opinion in its entirety carefully.

Conditions to the Acquisitions (see pages 45 through 46 and 53 through 54)

  The acquisitions of Delta and Dakota each depend on a number of conditions
being satisfied, including those set forth below.

  .  Approval of the issuance of shares in the acquisitions by the
     shareholders of PPR;

  .  PepsiCo's consent to the acquisitions;

  .  The contribution by Pohlad Companies of its DakBev Membership Units, its
     Delta common stock and its interest in P-PR Transfer, LLP to Dakota,
     LLC;

  .  The contribution by Metropolitan of common stock of PepsiCo and, subject
     to its rights and obligations under the Delta Exchange Agreement, its
     Delta common stock to Dakota, LLC (Metropolitan's obligation to make
     such a contribution will be subject to the satisfaction of various
     conditions; there can be no assurance that such contribution will be
     made);

  .  The contribution by Beverages, Foods & Service Industries, Inc., a
     wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, of its interest in P-PR Transfer,
     LLP to Dakota, LLC (BFSI's obligation to make such a contribution will
     be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions; there can be no
     assurance that such contribution will be made);

                                      10
<PAGE>

  .  Both the acquisition of Delta and the acquisition of Dakota must occur;
     one will not be completed without the other;

  .  No law or court order prohibits the acquisitions;

  .  The receipt of all necessary authorizations, consents, waivers, orders
     and approvals;

  .  The PPR Class B Common Stock to be issued in the acquisitions has been
     authorized for listing on the NYSE; and

  .  A new credit facility has been obtained.

  Certain of these conditions may be waived by the party entitled to assert
the condition.

Accounting Treatment (see pages 39 through 40)

  Because PPR, Delta and Dakota are each, directly or indirectly, controlled
by Pohlad Companies, the transactions will be accounted for as a combination
of entities under common control. Accordingly, the common equity interests of
Delta and Dakota owned by Pohlad Companies (representing 23.2% of Delta and
100% of Dakota) will be combined with PPR at historical cost, whereas the
other common equity interests of Delta that are acquired in the transactions
will be reported at fair value.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences (see page 39)

  PPR has structured the acquisitions so that PPR shareholders will not
recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Markets and Market Prices (see page 18)

  PPR Class B Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "PPO." On
June 25, 1999, the last trading date prior to the public announcement of the
proposed acquisitions, PPR Class B Common Stock closed at $4.25. There is no
established trading market for the stock of Delta or Dakota.

Interests of Certain Persons (see pages 40 through 41)

  Certain members of PPR's management and PPR's Board of Directors have
interests in the acquisitions that are in addition to the interests of PPR
shareholders generally.

  In addition, Pohlad Companies currently holds 52.8% voting power over PPR,
59.3% of Delta's voting common stock and 100% of Dakota's stock.

Franchise Agreements (see pages 58 through 61)

  Based upon discussions with PepsiCo, Pohlad Companies believes that PepsiCo
will appoint PPR as an anchor bottler following the acquisitions. At the same
time the acquisitions are completed, PPR expects to enter into the following
bottling agreements with PepsiCo:

  .  a master bottling agreement and a master fountain syrup agreement for
     beverages bearing the "PEPSI-COLA" and "PEPSI" trademark, including DIET
     PEPSI and PEPSI ONE in the United States;

  .  bottling agreements and fountain syrup agreements for non-cola products
     in the United States; and

  .  an international master bottling agreement for Puerto Rico and countries
     other than the United States.

  There can be no assurance that PepsiCo will appoint PPR as an anchor bottler
or that PepsiCo will enter into any of these bottling agreements with PPR. The
failure of either of these events to occur would have a material adverse
effect on PPR.

                                      11
<PAGE>

  Delta and Dakota currently have bottling agreements with other licensors of
beverage products, including Cadbury Beverages, Inc., The Seven-Up Company,
The Dr Pepper Company, the Pepsi/Lipton Tea Partnership, the North American
Coffee Partnership, Sterling Assets Corp. and Proctor & Gamble Distributing
Company.

  In July 1999, PPR entered into a contract rights agreement under which
Seven-Up/RC Bottling Company of Puerto Rico, Inc. released its exclusive
rights for the production and distribution of the 7UP, Sunkist, Welch's and
Schweppes soft drink brands in Puerto Rico. PPR obtained the releases as a
precondition to its entry into new franchise agreements for these brands.

                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

  PPR has made forward-looking statements in this document that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information
concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of PPR, Delta,
Dakota or the combined company. The words "believes," "expects,"
"anticipates," and similar words or expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Shareholders should note that such statements are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause actual
results to vary. Among the factors that could cause actual performance to
differ materially are (a) difficulties in integrating the operations of PPR,
Delta and Dakota, (b) adverse effects of sales of the PPR Class B Common Stock
issued to Delta shareholders in the acquisitions after the expiration of a
six-month lock-up period, (c) competitive pressures with respect to pricing in
the combined company's markets, (d) inability to achieve cost savings due to
unexpected developments in the combined company's markets, (e) changed plans
regarding capital expenditures, (f) adverse developments with respect to
economic, climatic and political conditions in the territories in which the
combined company will operate, (g) impact of such conditions on consumer
spending, (h) possible termination of franchise agreements, (i) adverse events
affecting the popularity of PepsiCo and Cadbury Schweppes products, (j)
possible termination of the management agreements with Pohlad Companies, (k)
adverse effects of government regulations, including environmental
regulations, (l) possible failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely
basis, (m) possible product liability if any products cause injury, illness or
death, and (n) possible product recall of products that become contaminated or
are damaged or mislabeled. In the event one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materializes, or the underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual financial results of PPR, Delta, Dakota or the combined company could
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

(1) Effective January 1, 1997, Dakota elected S corporation status, whereby
    the taxable income and any "available" tax credits of Dakota are included
    in the income tax returns of Dakota's shareholders. The 1997 results of
    operations reflected an income tax benefit as a result of the reversal of
    previously recorded deferred income tax liabilities.
(2) EBITDA consists of net income before income taxes, interest, depreciation
    and amortization. EBITDA is included herein to provide additional
    information about Dakota's ability to service its debt. EBITDA should not
    be considered an alternative measure of Dakota's net income, operating
    income, cash flow from operating activities or liquidity.
(3) Pro forma net income represents the effect "as if" Dakota had been a
    taxable corporation during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and
    the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, using an effective tax rate of
    39.0%, 39.0%, 37.6% and 39.0%, respectively.
(4) Includes current maturities of long-term debt.
(5) Includes $33,400 representing a note receivable from Pohlad Companies. It
    is the intent of Pohlad Companies for Dakota to forgive the note prior to
    consummation of the acquisitions.
(6) Working capital represents current assets (excluding cash and cash
    equivalents) less current liabilities (excluding current maturities of
    long-term debt).

                    HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

  The following table sets forth certain selected historical per share data
for PPR, unaudited pro forma per share data for the combined company and
equivalent unaudited pro forma per share data for Delta and Dakota. The
unaudited pro forma financial data assumes that the acquisitions were
consummated at the beginning of PPR's latest full fiscal year. The unaudited
pro forma financial data is based upon an acquisition involving entities under
common control, with only the acquisition of Delta's minority interests
recognized using the "purchase" method of accounting. All other accounts are
combined at historical cost. The unaudited pro forma per share data is based
upon PPR's historical weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted
to include the number of PPR shares that would be issued in the transaction
based upon the share exchange ratios defined in the share exchange agreements,
included elsewhere in this document. The unaudited pro forma equivalent per
share data for Delta and Dakota is based upon the unaudited pro forma amounts
per share, multiplied by the share exchange ratios. This information should be
read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of
PPR, Delta and Dakota included elsewhere in this document and the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements included elsewhere in this
document.

                PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA

  The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
give effect to the acquisitions by PPR of Delta and Dakota. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the year ended September
30, 1998 was prepared based upon PPR's audited consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, and Delta's and
Dakota's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for
the three months ended December 31, 1998 was prepared based upon PPR's audited
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31,
1998, and Delta's and Dakota's unaudited consolidated financial statements for
the three months ended December 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
prepared based upon the June 30, 1999 unaudited consolidated financial
statements of PPR, Delta and Dakota. The pro forma adjustments for each of the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings were prepared as
if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of PPR's latest full fiscal
year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared
based upon the June 30, 1999 unaudited consolidated financial statements of
PPR, Delta and Dakota, as if the acquisitions had occurred on that date. The
pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost savings or other
synergies discussed elsewhere in this document. The pro forma adjustments are
based upon an acquisition involving entities under common control, with the
acquisition of Delta's minority interests recognized using the "purchase"
method of accounting. All other interests of Pohlad Companies in Delta and
Dakota so acquired are recorded at historical cost. The pro forma adjustments
are also based upon available information and include particular assumptions
that the managements of PPR, Delta and Dakota believe to be reasonable. The
pro forma credit facility adjustments are based upon PPR obtaining a new
credit facility (as discussed elsewhere in this document) to refinance certain
existing indebtedness of PPR, Delta and Dakota.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and
accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited historical
consolidated financial statements of PPR, Delta and Dakota, and the related
notes thereto, that are included elsewhere in this document.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided
for informational purposes only in response to SEC requirements and do not
purport to represent what PPR's financial position or results of operations
would actually have been if the acquisitions had in fact occurred at such
dates or to project PPR's financial position or results of operations for any
future date or period.

                    Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
                         Combined Financial Statements

(a) Represents the elimination of intercompany transactions and balances
    between PPR, Delta and Dakota.

(b) Represents additional amortization expense on the excess purchase price
    resulting from PPR's acquisition of the non-Pohlad Companies' common
    equity interests in Delta. The acquisition of the non-Pohlad Companies'
    equity interests in Delta is accounted for using the "purchase" method of
    accounting and will be reported at fair value.

(c) Represents a reduction in the management fees charged by Pohlad Companies
    to reflect the pro forma management fees on a combined basis.

(d) Delta's senior notes, which will not be repaid by the credit facility,
    will be reported at fair value using the "purchase" method of accounting.
    This adjustment includes a reduction in the amortization of Delta's
    existing deferred financing costs related to its senior notes and
    amortization of the adjustment reflecting Delta's senior notes at fair
    value.

(e) Represents the income tax effect of the combination of PPR, Delta and
    Dakota, including (1) the consolidation of PPR's holding company with
    Delta and Dakota for U.S. income tax purposes and (2) the tax effect of
    the pro forma adjustments.

(f) Represents the net reduction in interest expense resulting from the
    replacement of certain existing indebtedness of PPR, Delta and Dakota with
    the new credit facility. This adjustment includes a net favorable interest
    rate differential, partially offset by incremental amortization of new
    deferred financing costs.

  PPR intends to use the proceeds (1) to provide to Delta for the purpose of
  repaying subordinated debt, (2) to lend to Dakota for the purpose of
  repaying senior secured notes (including a $1.8 million prepayment
  penalty), (3) to repay PPR's secured term loan, and (4) for working capital
  and acquisitions. See the section describing "The Credit Facilities"
  elsewhere in this document for further information. The effect on income of
  a 1/8% variance in interest rates approximated $72 thousand, $20 thousand,
  and $41 thousand, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 1998, the
  three months ended December 31, 1998, and the six months ended June 30,
  1999, net of income taxes.

(g) Represents the tax effect of the credit facility adjustments.

(h) Represents the deferred income tax effect of the consolidation of PPR's
    holding company with Delta and Dakota for U.S. income tax purposes.

(i) Represents the net incremental goodwill resulting from PPR's acquisition
    of the non-Pohlad Companies' equity interests in Delta. Such excess
    purchase price will be amortized ratably over 40 years. The acquisition of
    the non-Pohlad Companies' common equity interests in Delta is accounted
    for using the "purchase" method of accounting and will be reported at fair
    value.

  The fair value of the consideration exchanged for the non-Pohlad Companies'
  common equity interests in Delta, including $2.2 million in acquisition
  costs, approximates $61.5 million. As of June 30, 1999, a preliminary
  allocation of such purchase price to Delta's tangible and intangible assets
  and liabilities was as follows (in millions):

<TABLE>

            <S>                                   <C>
            Tangible assets...................... $147.8
            Intangible assets (goodwill).........  129.2
            Liabilities and preferred stock...... (215.5)
                                                  ------

</TABLE>

(j) The companies expect acquisition-related costs to approximate $5.3
    million. Of this amount, approximately $2.2 million relates to the
    acquisition of Delta by PPR and has been included in the Delta purchase
    price

                                      29
<PAGE>

    allocation. The remainder has been reflected in retained earnings in the
    June 30, 1999 balance sheet and has been tax affected. The combined company
    will charge these costs to earnings in the period in which the acquisitions
    are consummated. Total expected acquisition-related costs will be funded by
    the new credit facility and therefore are reflected as a long-term
    obligation.

    Through June 30, 1999, approximately $3.0 million of acquisition costs had
    been incurred, of which approximately $2.1 million had been expensed and
    $0.9 million related to the Delta acquisition had been capitalized.

(k) Represents the net incremental deferred financing costs resulting from the
    replacement of certain existing indebtedness of PPR, Delta and Dakota with
    the new credit facility.

(l) Represents the accrual of estimated financing costs relating to the new
    credit facility and a prepayment penalty relating to the early
    extinguishment of Dakota's existing senior notes.

(m) Represents the balance sheet effect of the exchange of shares of PPR Class
    B Common Stock for all of the outstanding common shares of Delta and
    Dakota. The acquisition of the non-Pohlad Companies' common equity
    interests in Delta is accounted for using the "purchase" method of
    accounting and will be reported at fair value.

(n) Represents the effects of acquisition-related costs, net of taxes, and the
    adjustment to deferred income taxes.

(o) Represents the step-up to fair value of Delta's senior notes, related to
    the proportionate percentage of Delta represented by the non-Pohlad
    Companies common equity interest in Delta being acquired.

(p) Represents the reclassification of Delta's preferred stock as a minority
    interest of the combined company.

(q) Represents dividends declared on Delta's preferred stock, net of taxes.

(r) Delta and Dakota have a calendar year-end for accounting purposes. The
    unaudited pro-forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the year
    ended September 30, 1998 includes PPR's statement of earnings for their
    fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 and Delta's and Dakota's statements
    of earnings for their calendar years ended December 31, 1998. Effective
    January 1, 1999, PPR changed its fiscal year-end from September 30 to
    December 31. Delta's and Dakota's results for the three months ended
    December 31, 1998 are included again in the unaudited pro forma statement
    of earnings for the three months ended December 31, 1998.

                         APPROVAL OF THE ACQUISITIONS

Reasons for the Acquisitions

  The Special Committee and PPR's Board of Directors believe that PPR and its
shareholders will benefit from the greater size and strength of PPR resulting
from the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota. If the acquisitions are completed,
PPR believes it will have enhanced operating efficiencies, improved access to
capital and increased buying power. PPR also expects to manufacture,
distribute and market PepsiCo products in exclusive franchise territories that
include Puerto Rico and portions of Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time
the acquisitions are completed, based on discussions with PepsiCo, PPR and
PepsiCo are expected to enter into new bottling agreements and PPR is expected
to become a PepsiCo anchor bottler.

  In recommending the acquisitions, PPR's Special Committee considered and
evaluated the following factors:

  .  The advantages to PPR of participating in PepsiCo's previously announced
     strategy of consolidating its relationships with a small group of
     franchisees to serve as anchor bottlers.

  .  As one of a small group of PepsiCo anchor bottlers, PPR will enhance its
     opportunities for growth and future acquisitions.

  .  If the acquisitions are completed, PPR expects to manufacture,
     distribute and market PepsiCo products in exclusive franchise
     territories that include Puerto Rico and portions of nine states.

  .  Other strategic alternatives such as remaining the same size, growing
     through acquisitions, exploring diversification opportunities, and the
     advantages and risks of these alternatives.

  .  The intended federal income tax consequences of the acquisitions.

  .  The terms and conditions of the exchange agreements, including the
     number of shares to be issued in the acquisitions and the
     representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.

  .  The recommendation of the acquisitions by PPR's management.

  .  The new bottling appointments expected to be entered into with PepsiCo.

  .  The opinion of Bear Stearns, dated June 28, 1999, that, as of that date,
     and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and
     qualifications set forth therein, the exchange ratio provided in the
     exchange agreements was fair, from a financial point of view, to the
     shareholders of PPR. The full text of the Bear Stearns opinion, which
     describes the procedures followed, the factors considered and the
     assumptions made by Bear Stearns, is attached as Appendix C to this
     document. PPR shareholders should read the opinion in its entirety
     carefully.

  .  The results of the due diligence review of Delta and Dakota conducted by
     PPR's management and financial advisors.

  In analyzing the acquisitions, the Special Committee and PPR's Board of
Directors evaluated the factors described above and consulted with its
financial and legal advisors and with PPR's management. The Special Committee
and PPR's Board of Directors concluded that the various factors discussed
above supported its determination that the acquisitions were advisable and in
the best interests of PPR and its shareholders. In reaching this conclusion,
the Special Committee and PPR's Board of Directors did not assign any relative
or specific values to the considerations and factors described above. Instead,
the Special Committee and PPR's Board of Directors based their recommendations
on the totality of the information and factors presented to and considered by
them.

Background to the Acquisitions

  At a meeting on February 17, 1999, in response to PepsiCo's announced
strategy of consolidating its relationships with a small group of franchisees
to serve as anchor bottlers and to provide other possible benefits, PPR's
Board of Directors discussed the possibility of a combination of PPR, Delta
and Dakota.

                                      31
<PAGE>

  On April 9, 1999, PPR's Board of Directors adopted a resolution creating the
Special Committee of independent directors of PPR to assess whether it would
be in the best interests of PPR to pursue an acquisition of Delta and Dakota
and to make a recommendation to PPR's Board of Directors regarding such an
acquisition. Messrs. Basil K. Vasiliou and Diego Suarez, Jr. were appointed to
serve as independent directors on the Special Committee. PPR's Board of
Directors authorized the Special Committee to retain, at the expense of PPR,
any advisors, including attorneys, investment bankers, accountants,
appraisers, or other experts as the Special Committee deemed necessary to
assist the Special Committee in carrying out its duties and responsibilities.

  Thereafter, the Special Committee discussed the qualifications, experience
and independence of several law firms. The Special Committee engaged Willkie
Farr & Gallagher as independent legal counsel to the Special Committee.
Representatives from Willkie Farr & Gallagher began a legal due diligence
examination of Delta and Dakota.

  The Special Committee considered the qualifications, experience and
independence of several financial advisors. On April 14, 1999, the Special
Committee interviewed representatives from two financial advisors to serve as
the independent financial advisor to the Special Committee. The Special
Committee held a telephonic meeting with its legal counsel during which they
discussed these interviews. Moreover, legal counsel updated the Special
Committee on the status of the negotiations of the exchange agreements. On
April 15, 1999, the Special Committee met and discussed the relative
advantages and disadvantages of the candidates for independent financial
advisor to the Special Committee. At this meeting, it was decided that the
Special Committee would retain Bear Stearns as its independent financial
advisor. The Special Committee retained Bear Stearns pursuant to an engagement
letter dated April 28, 1999.

  Briggs and Morgan, counsel to Pohlad Companies and Dakota, distributed
drafts, dated April 9, 1999, of the exchange agreements to the Special
Committee and its legal advisors. On April 23, 1999, legal counsel to the
Special Committee distributed to the members of the Special Committee a draft
of the exchange agreements (including comments from legal counsel) and a
memorandum detailing the unresolved issues, including the exchange ratio, open
due diligence items and indemnification from the shareholders of Delta and
Dakota for any breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the
exchange agreements.

  In response to negotiations with counsel to the Special Committee, Briggs
and Morgan distributed revised drafts of the exchange agreements to the
Special Committee and its legal advisors.

  From April 16, 1999 to May 4, 1999, representatives from Bear Stearns
consulted with senior management ("Management") of PPR, Delta and Dakota, all
of whom are the same individuals, on several occasions in order to conduct
financial due diligence on the companies. Bear Stearns engaged in extensive
discussions with senior management regarding financial results, assumptions,
competition, operations and acquisition opportunities.

  On April 26, 1999 and April 27, 1999, representatives from Bear Stearns held
discussions with Arthur Andersen LLP, PPR's independent public accountant, to
discuss tax considerations, accounting treatment and structure of the proposed
acquisitions. Representatives from Bear Stearns also held several discussions
with representatives from NationsBanc Montgomery Securities, financial advisor
to Dakota and Pohlad Companies, regarding the proposed acquisitions.

  On May 4, 1999, the Special Committee held a meeting at the offices of Bear
Stearns. Representatives from Bear Stearns distributed draft discussion
materials at this meeting regarding the proposed acquisitions of Delta and
Dakota which included Bear Stearns' preliminary analysis of the combination of
the companies based upon relative contribution, discounted cash flow and
accretion/dilution analyses. At this meeting, the members of the Special
Committee questioned the representatives from Bear Stearns extensively about
the determination of appropriate exchange ratio in the exchange agreements and
the validity of the underlying assumptions for each of the companies used in
the analysis. The members of the Special Committee requested that
representatives from Bear Stearns discuss some of these questions and issues
with NationsBanc. The Special Committee discussed the advantages and
disadvantages to PPR and its shareholders of the proposed acquisitions.

                                      32
<PAGE>

  At this meeting on May 4, 1999, legal counsel to the Special Committee
updated the Special Committee on the status of the due diligence examination
and the negotiation of the exchange agreements. Legal counsel informed the
Special Committee that many of the issues from the prior drafts of the
exchange agreements had been resolved satisfactorily, but that there were
remaining unresolved issues, including the exchange ratios and the inclusion
of covenants requiring two independent directors and the approval of
independent directors of certain affiliated transactions.

  On May 5, 1999, the Special Committee held another meeting at the offices of
Bear Stearns. The representatives from Bear Stearns informed the Special
Committee that the current proposal provided PPR with 23.3% of the pro forma
combined entity after the acquisitions. The representatives from Bear Stearns
distributed discussion materials to the members of the Special Committee
containing their preliminary analysis of the proposal. The Special Committee
questioned its legal and financial advisors extensively about the preliminary
analysis, the fairness of the 23.3% exchange ratio and the proposed
acquisitions of Delta and Dakota. The Special Committee expressed concern
about the proposed exchange ratio and determined that the exchange ratio
required further assessment.

  On May 6, 1999, the Special Committee had a telephonic meeting with the
legal and financial advisors to discuss further the preliminary financial
analysis and their concerns about the contribution of PPR and the proposed
exchange ratio. The members of the Special Committee requested that
representatives from Bear Stearns communicate these concerns to NationsBanc
and Mr. Bierbaum on their behalf.

  From May 10, 1999 to May 27, 1999, representatives from Bear Stearns held
numerous follow-up discussions with Management regarding the due diligence
findings, including the business conditions and projected operating results.
Bear Stearns also had conversations with Management about financing capacity
and recent performance of the companies. Moreover, representatives from Bear
Stearns and Mr. Vasiliou had discussions with Mr. Bierbaum regarding the
exchange ratio.

  On May 11, 1999, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting with its
legal and financial advisors to discuss the status of the negotiations. The
Special Committee determined that negotiations should continue and requested
that representatives from Bear Stearns continue discussions with Mr. Bierbaum
regarding the proposed acquisitions and the methodologies used to evaluate the
exchange ratio.

  In response to negotiation with counsel to the Special Committee, on May 19,
1999 and May 26, 1999, Briggs and Morgan distributed revised drafts of the
exchange agreements to the Special Committee and its legal counsel.

  On May 26, 1999, the Special Committee and its legal and financial advisors
held a meeting at the offices of Bear Stearns. The Special Committee discussed
with its legal and financial advisors the strategic rationale for the proposed
acquisitions. Bear Stearns informed the Special Committee that, based upon the
analysis to date, as currently proposed the exchange ratio was not within
range of fairness from a financial point of view to the shareholders of PPR.
At this same meeting, legal counsel discussed with the members of the Special
Committee their fiduciary duties and responsibilities as directors on the
Special Committee. The Special Committee determined that it could not
recommend the acquisitions on the currently proposed terms and contacted Mr.
Robert Pohlad and Mr. John Bierbaum to propose that the parties meet to engage
in negotiations to try to reach an agreement on acceptable terms.

  On June 3, 1999, the Special Committee, along with its legal and financial
advisors, held a lengthy meeting with Mr. Pohlad, Mr. Bierbaum,
representatives from NationsBanc and Briggs and Morgan at the offices of
Willkie Farr & Gallagher. The Special Committee engaged in extensive
questioning with regard to the background and business strategies for the
proposed acquisitions, including the factors listed under the caption "Reasons
for the Acquisitions." The parties engaged in a lengthy discussion about these
reasons for the acquisitions and the assumptions underlying the proposed
exchange ratio. Mr. Pohlad and Mr. Bierbaum also provided to the Special
Committee and Bear Stearns updated financial information for each of PPR,
Delta and Dakota. The Special Committee agreed to consider this information in
its further analysis of the proposed acquisitions.

                                      33
<PAGE>

  On June 7, 1999, representatives from Bear Stearns discussed with Arthur
Andersen LLP the tax treatment of certain net operating losses and tax credits
of PPR.

  On June 8, 1999, the Special Committee held a telephonic conference call
with its legal and financial advisors. Bear Stearns reported to the Special
Committee that after conducting further analysis, an allocation to PPR in
excess of the then proposed 23.3% of the pro forma entity would be required
for the acquisitions to be fair from a financial point of view to the
shareholders of PPR. On June 9, 1999, representatives from Bear Stearns held a
conference call with Mr. Bierbaum to discuss the financing capacity of the pro
forma entity and the status of PPR's acquisition strategy. On June 10, 1999,
the Special Committee held another telephonic meeting with its legal and
financial advisors to discuss the terms and conditions of the proposed
financing from NationsBanc, N.A. and Banc of America Securities LLC for the
pro forma entity and Bear Stearns' analysis. After deliberation, the Special
Committee determined not to recommend the acquisitions as then proposed to
PPR's Board of Directors. The Special Committee notified Mr. Pohlad of this
decision.

  On June 11, 1999, Bear Stearns held a conversation with NationsBanc to
discuss the acquisition analysis, methodology, and financial information of
the companies.

  On June 15, 1999, PPR's Board of Directors met in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to
consider the report of the Special Committee. The legal and financial advisors
to the Special Committee attended the meeting at the invitation of PPR's Board
of Directors. Mr. Bierbaum presented to PPR's Board of Directors updated
financial results for each of PPR, Delta and Dakota. Mr. Bierbaum also
reviewed the terms of the proposed Bank of America debt facilities for the pro
forma entity, including the acquisition capacity available under these
facilities. After a lengthy discussion about the strategic reasons for
pursuing the proposed acquisitions, PPR's Board of Directors requested that
further negotiations of the proposed acquisitions occur. Believing in the
strategic benefits of the proposed acquisitions, the Special Committee agreed
to continue to negotiate the exchange ratio.

  On June 16, 1999, Mr. Pohlad, who was accompanied by Mr. Bierbaum, met with
the Special Committee in New York at the offices of Vasiliou & Company, Inc.
After negotiation with the Special Committee, Mr. Pohlad proposed that the
exchange ratio be adjusted so that the allocation for PPR in the pro forma
entity be increased to 25%.

  On June 17, 1999, Mr. Bierbaum provided the Special Committee and Bear
Stearns with updated projections for PPR, Delta and Dakota prepared by
Management reflecting the latest results of operations.

  On June 18, 1999, PPR's Board of Directors held a telephonic meeting with
the Special Committee and its legal and financial advisors. The Special
Committee reported that they unanimously recommended approval of the proposed
acquisitions on the revised terms, subject to the receipt of a fairness
opinion from Bear Stearns, a letter regarding the availability of additional
financing for the pro forma entity and the execution of mutually acceptable
documentation of the acquisitions. PPR's Board of Directors accepted and
approved the recommendation of the Special Committee.

  During the period from June 21, 1999 through June 30, 1999, legal advisors
for the Special Committee continued negotiations and eventually reached
agreement on the terms of the definitive exchange agreements, including
covenants requiring two independent directors and independent director
approval on certain transactions with affiliates.

  On June 21, 1999, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting with its
legal and financial advisors at which Bear Stearns informed the Special
Committee that additional financial due diligence was required before Bear
Stearns could render an opinion. On June 22, 1999, representatives from Bear
Stearns held a conference call with Mr. Bierbaum and other members of
Management to conduct this final financial due diligence. On June 23, 1999,
representatives from Bear Stearns also held a conference call with Arthur
Andersen LLP to discuss the tax treatment of net operating losses of Delta.


                                      34
<PAGE>

  Subject to the receipt of a certificate from Management stating that the
updated projections for PPR, Delta and Dakota provided to Bear Stearns were
prepared by Management in the ordinary course of business, on June 22, 1999,
Bear Stearns orally delivered its fairness opinion to the Special Committee
(which was followed by a written opinion on June 28, 1999) to the effect that,
based upon the factors and assumptions set forth in such opinion, as of such
date, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to PPR's
shareholders. Mr. Bierbaum delivered the requested certificate to Bear Stearns
on June 25, 1999.

  On June 28, 1999 Bear Stearns provided the Special Committee with a
presentation reviewing the acquisitions and final exchange ratio. For a
description of the analysis contained therein, see "Opinion and Analysis of
Financial Advisor to PPR."

  On June 28, 1999, a telephonic meeting of PPR's Board of Directors was held.
At that meeting, the Special Committee reported to PPR's Board of Directors
that it had completed an eleven-week long process which involved numerous
meetings of the Special Committee, Bear Stearns and its legal counsel. The
Special Committee reported that it unanimously recommended approval of the
proposed acquisitions on the terms set forth in the draft exchange agreements
which had been circulated in advance of the meeting to all of the members of
PPR's Board of Directors. The members of PPR's Board of Directors and
attendees at the meeting engaged in an extensive discussion of the
acquisitions and the recommendation of the Special Committee. The members of
PPR's Board of Directors and attendees considered the fact that the Bear
Stearns fairness opinion supported the exchange ratio from a financial point
of view to PPR's shareholders. PPR's Board of Directors by unanimous vote
determined that the proposed acquisitions on the terms set forth in the
exchange agreements would be fair, advisable to and in the best interests of
PPR and its shareholders and approved the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota.

  On June 25, 1999, PPR issued a press release announcing that it had reached
agreements in principle pursuant to which the shareholders of Delta and Dakota
would receive approximately 65,000,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock.
During the course of the next few business days, each of the parties to the
exchange agreements executed the definitive exchange agreements.

  As of June 28, 1999, P-PR Transfer, LLP and PPR entered into a voting
agreement. Under the terms of the voting agreement, P-PR Transfer, LLP is
required to vote its shares of PPR Class A Common Stock and PPR Class B Common
Stock in favor of the acquisitions.

  On June 28, 1999, to induce the members of PPR's Board of Directors to
continue to serve as directors of PPR and in consideration of the members of
PPR's Board of Directors so serving, PPR agreed to maintain, until the sixth
anniversary of the consummation of the acquisitions and to the extent
commercially available, a directors, officers and company liability policy
with respect to claims arising from facts or events that have occurred or
occur prior to, simultaneously with or after the consummation of the
acquisitions.

Approval and Recommendation of PPR's Board of Directors

  PPR's Board of Directors has, upon the recommendation of the Special
Committee, determined that the acquisition of Delta and Dakota through the
issuance of PPR Class B Common Stock under the exchange agreements is fair to,
advisable and in the best interests of PPR's shareholders. PPR's Board of
Directors has also approved the amendment to PPR's Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock,
the amendment to PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to change PPR's name to
PepsiAmericas, Inc. and the adoption of PPR's 1999 Stock Option Plan. PPR's
Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of each proposal.

Opinion and Analysis of Financial Advisor to PPR

  The Special Committee retained Bear Stearns to act as its financial advisor
in connection with the acquisitions. Bear Stearns delivered its oral opinion
on June 22, 1999, which was subsequently confirmed in a written opinion, dated
June 28, 1999, to the Special Committee to the effect that, as of the date of
such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and
qualifications set forth therein, collectively, the Exchange Ratio

                                      35

(defined hereafter) was fair, from a financial point of view, to the
shareholders of PPR (the "Bear Stearns Opinion"). However, the Bear Stearns
Opinion has no applicability to P-PR Transfer, LLP. The aggregate number of
shares of PPR Class B Common Stock issued by PPR in exchange for the aggregate
number of shares of common stock of Dakota and Delta is hereinafter the
"Exchange Ratio."

  The full text of the Bear Stearns Opinion, which sets forth a description of
the assumptions made, general procedures followed, matters considered and
limitations on the review undertaken, is set out in Appendix C. Holders of PPR
common stock are urged to read the Bear Stearns Opinion carefully in its
entirety, especially with regard to the assumptions made and matters
considered by Bear Stearns, as well as the limitations on the information
considered and analysis presented. The summary of the Bear Stearns Opinion set
forth in this document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of such opinion.

  The Bear Stearns Opinion, intended for the benefit and use of the Special
Committee, did not constitute a recommendation to the Special Committee in
connection with the acquisitions and does not constitute a recommendation to
any holder of PPR common stock as to how to vote shares in connection with the
acquisitions. Bear Stearns is not expressing any opinion as to the price or
range of prices at which PPR common stock may trade subsequent to the
consummation of the acquisitions. The Bear Stearns Opinion is necessarily
based upon economic, market and other conditions, and the information made
available to it, as of the date of such opinion.

  The Exchange Ratio and the form of consideration were determined by
negotiations between the Special Committee and its representatives, on the one
hand, and Pohlad Companies and its representatives, on the other hand, and
were not based on any recommendation by Bear Stearns. Except as noted below,
no limitations were imposed by PPR on Bear Stearns with respect to the
investigations made or the procedures followed by Bear Stearns in rendering
the Bear Stearns Opinion.

  In arriving at the Bear Stearns Opinion, Bear Stearns, among other things:

  .  reviewed the draft Delta Exchange Agreement and draft Dakota Exchange
     Agreement;

  .  reviewed PPR's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended
     September 30, 1996 through 1998 and the three months ended December 31,
     1998, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March
     31, 1999;

  .  reviewed Delta's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended
     December 31, 1996 through 1998, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
     for the period ended March 31, 1999;

  .  reviewed Dakota's audited financial statements for the fiscal years
     ended December 31, 1996 through 1998, and its quarterly unaudited
     financial statements for the period ended March 31, 1999;

  .  reviewed certain operating and financial information, including
     projections (which projections were updated during the course of such
     review (the "Projections")), provided to Bear Stearns by Management of
     PPR, Delta, and Dakota, all of whom are the same individuals, relating
     to the respective businesses and prospects;

  .  met with certain members of Management to discuss the operations,
     historical financial statements and future prospects of PPR, Delta and
     Dakota;

  .  reviewed, and discussed with Management, combination benefits expected
     to result from the acquisitions;

  .  reviewed with Management and their tax advisors the status of NOLs and
     other tax credits at PPR and Delta and the effect of the acquisitions on
     such;

  .  reviewed certain historical prices, trading volumes and valuation
     parameters of PPR common stock;

  .  reviewed certain publicly available financial data, stock market data
     and valuation parameters of companies which in Bear Stearns' judgement
     were deemed generally comparable to PPR, Delta and Dakota or otherwise
     generally relevant;

                                      36
<PAGE>

  .  reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of
     certain similar merger and acquisition transactions which in Bear
     Stearns' judgment were deemed generally relevant; and

  .  conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as
     were deemed appropriate, but none of which was individually material.

  In connection with its review, Bear Stearns did not assume any
responsibility for, and did not undertake any independent verification of, any
of the information reviewed by or provided to it and relied on its being
complete and accurate in all material respects. Bear Stearns did not make or
receive any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or
liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of PPR, Delta or Dakota, nor was Bear
Stearns furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Additionally, at the
direction of the Special Committee, Bear Stearns did not evaluate the fairness
of each of the acquisitions separately.

  With respect to the financial forecasts, estimates, Projections, pro forma
financial effects, and contemplated tax and accounting impacts relied upon or
provided to Bear Stearns, Bear Stearns assumed that they had been reasonably
prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and
judgments of Management as to the future performance of PPR, Delta and Dakota
and that they will be achieved in the amounts and at the times specified
therein. Therefore, Bear Stearns did not make any independent assessment of
the assumptions contained therein. Bear Stearns assumed that: (a) PPR, Delta
and Dakota will comply with all the material terms and conditions of the draft
exchange agreements and all applicable laws and regulations; (b) the
acquisitions become effective in accordance with the terms of the draft
exchange agreements and that the acquisitions are approved in such a manner
that PPR acquires 100% of the outstanding common shares of Delta and Dakota;
and (c) the acquisitions will be accounted for as a combination of entities
under common control under United States generally accepted accounting
principles. Bear Stearns has also relied upon the representations of
Management regarding the tax treatment of the acquisitions and the ability to
utilize the NOLs and other tax credits at PPR and Delta subsequent to the
acquisitions. Other than as described herein, the Special Committee did not
place any limitations upon Bear Stearns regarding the procedures to be
followed and the factors to be considered in rendering the Bear Stearns
Opinion.

  In arriving at the Bear Stearns Opinion, Bear Stearns did not assign any
particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made
qualitative judgments based upon its experience in providing such opinions and
on then existing economic, market and other conditions as to the significance
of each analysis and factor. Bear Stearns believes that its analyses must be
considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the
factors considered, without considering all of the analyses and factors, could
create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying the Bear
Stearns Opinion. Any assumed estimates implicitly contained in the Bear
Stearns Opinion or relied upon by Bear Stearns in rendering the Bear Stearns
Opinion, are not necessarily reflective of actual values or predictive of
future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable
than as set forth therein. Any estimates relating to the value of a business
or securities do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the
prices at which companies or securities may actually be sold.

  Bear Stearns is an internationally recognized investment banking firm which,
as part of its investment banking business, regularly engages in the
evaluation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary
distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and
valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The Special Committee
selected Bear Stearns on the basis of its experience and independence. In the
ordinary course of business, Bear Stearns and its affiliates may actively
trade or hold the equity securities of PPR or the debt securities of Delta for
their own account or the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at
any time take a long or short position in such securities.

  Pursuant to the engagement letter between PPR and Bear Stearns dated April
28, 1999, PPR agreed to pay Bear Stearns: (a) an initial cash fee of $200,000;
(b) $400,000 at the time of rendering the Bear Stearns Opinion, and (c) a
success fee of $400,000, payable upon the consummation of the acquisitions.
PPR has also agreed to reimburse Bear Stearns for its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements

                                      37
<PAGE>

of counsel (not exceeding $25,000 without the prior written consent from PPR,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and to indemnify Bear
Stearns and certain related persons against certain liabilities in connection
with the engagement of Bear Stearns, including certain liabilities under
federal securities law.

  The following is a summary of the material financial and comparative
analyses performed by Bear Stearns in arriving at the Bear Stearns Opinion
dated June 28, 1999. In rendering its opinion, Bear Stearns analyzed the
acquisitions as a combination of interests under common control, wherein there
is no clear acquirer or target company and control of PPR does not change.
Accordingly, Bear Stearns did not review or analyze the acquisitions based on
acquisition multiples and purchase price premiums.

  Relative Contribution Analysis. Bear Stearns analyzed PPR's contribution to
combined projected net income and net cash flow (for this purpose, net cash
flow is defined as net income plus amortization, "Net Cash Flow") to result
from the acquisitions before combination benefits for the projected years 1999
to 2003 (the "Relative Contribution Period"). Based on the Projections, this
analysis indicated that over the Relative Contribution Period, PPR contributed
11.5% to 21.5% to projected net income before combination benefits. In
addition, this analysis also indicated that over the Relative Contribution
Period, PPR contributed 9.8% to 19.0% to projected Net Cash Flow before
combination benefits. Based on the Exchange Ratio, PPR's current shareholders
would own 25.0% of the combined pro forma equity of PPR, Delta and Dakota.
Bear Stearns also calculated the relative contribution of PPR to combined
projected net income and Net Cash Flow adjusting for NOLs at Delta over the
Relative Contribution Period. This adjustment resulted in lower contribution
ranges for PPR.

  Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and Relative Contribution. Bear Stearns
performed a discounted cash flow analysis on the after-tax cash flows of PPR
and Delta/Dakota combined ("Delta/Dakota") based on the Projections. After-tax
cash flows for the five-year period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending on
December 31, 2003 were calculated as after-tax earnings before interest,
depreciation and amortization less changes in working capital and capital
expenditures. Bear Stearns calculated a terminal value by applying a 9.0x
multiple to projected 2003 EBITDA (for this purpose, EBITDA is defined as
operating income plus depreciation and amortization). In addition, Bear
Stearns compared the expected perpetual growth rates in after-tax cash flow
with those implied by the selected multiple.

  Bear Stearns' determination of the appropriate EBITDA multiple was based on
an analysis of selected publicly-traded bottling companies with growth rates
generally similar to PPR and Delta / Dakota's projected growth rates at the
end of the projection period. Using publicly available information, Bear
Stearns analyzed Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., Whitman Corp., Coca-Cola
Enterprises Inc., Coca-Cola Beverages P.L.C., Pepsi-Gemex, S.A. de C.V.,
Panamco Beverages, Inc., Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A. de C.V., and Embotelladora
Andina, S.A. (collectively, the "Generally Comparable Companies"). The
Generally Comparable Companies were selected based on general business,
operating and financial characteristics representative of cola bottlers. The
range of multiples for the Generally Comparable Companies of enterprise value
(defined as the market value of equity plus minority interest plus the market
value of debt and preferred stock, net of cash, "Enterprise Value") to 1998
actual and estimated 1999 EBITDA was 8.7x to 13.2x and 8.2x to 13.7x,
respectively. Bear Stearns believes Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and Whitman
Corp. (collectively, the "Comparable Pepsi Companies") are the more relevant
comparable companies to PPR and Delta/Dakota. The range of multiples for the
Comparable Pepsi Companies of Enterprise Value to 1998 actual and estimated
1999 EBITDA was 9.0x to 10.0x and 8.2x to 8.4x, respectively. The multiples
for the Generally Comparable Companies and the Comparable Pepsi Companies are
based on closing stock prices on June 18, 1999 (except for Coca-Cola Beverages
P.L.C. which is as of June 15, 1999 given the merger announcement with
Hellenic Bottling Co. on June 16, 1999), and the latest public financial
statements and the most recent public equity research reports that contained
projections for EBITDA available to Bear Stearns on June 18, 1999.

  A discount rate of 10.75% was used for Delta/Dakota based on "normalized"
capital structures consistent with the Comparable Pepsi Companies. For PPR,
Bear Stearns utilized a range of discount rates of 10.75% to 16.75% based on a
0% to 10% additional equity premium, respectively, to that of Delta/Dakota.


                                      38
<PAGE>

  Based on the resulting enterprise values for PPR and Delta/Dakota
(discounting all cash flows back to January 1, 1999), Bear Stearns calculated
the implied equity values for each company/group by adjusting the respective
enterprise values by December 31, 1998 net debt balances, preferred stock
balances and minority ownership positions. Bear Stearns then calculated PPR's
relative contribution to the combined pro forma equity value of PPR and
Delta/Dakota to be 20.4% to 25.5%. Based on the Exchange Ratio, PPR's current
shareholders would own 25.0% of the combined pro forma equity of PPR and
Delta/Dakota. Bear Stearns also calculated the relative contribution of PPR to
the combined pro forma equity value of the combined company adjusting for NOLs
at Delta. This adjustment resulted in a lower contribution range for PPR of
19.9% to 24.9% of the combined pro forma equity of PPR and Delta/Dakota.

  Analysis of Pro Forma Accretion/Dilution. Bear Stearns also noted that using
the Exchange Ratio, the completion of the acquisitions, before consideration
of combination benefits, results in pro forma net income per PPR share
accretion of 103.3% to 12.7% for the projected years 2000 to 2003,
respectively; and Net Cash Flow per PPR share accretion of 155.3% to 31.6% for
the projected years 2000 to 2003, respectively. Bear Stearns also calculated
the pro forma net income and Net Cash Flow per PPR share adjusting for
financing synergies following the acquisitions. Including these adjustments,
results in pro forma net income per PPR share accretion of 115.4% to 26.8% for
the projected years 2000 to 2003, respectively; and Net Cash Flow per PPR
share accretion of 165.7% to 45.2% for the projected years 2000 to 2003,
respectively. Given PPR's projected 1999 net income and Net Cash Flow losses,
the completion of the acquisitions is highly accretive in that year.

Closing

  The exchange agreements provide that, unless otherwise agreed and assuming
all conditions have been satisfied or waived, the closing of the acquisitions
will be held as soon as practicable following the date on which all required
approvals are received and any required waiting periods have expired.

  If the issuance of stock is approved by the requisite vote of PPR
shareholders and all other conditions of the exchange agreements are satisfied
or waived, the acquisitions will be completed. The exchange agreements may be
terminated by any party if, among other things, the acquisitions are not
completed on or before November 30, 1999. See "The Delta Exchange Agreement --
 Termination of the Agreement" and " -- Waiver under the Agreement" and "The
Dakota Exchange Agreement -- Termination under the Agreement" and "Waiver
under the Agreement."

Dissenters' Rights

  Neither PPR, Delta nor Dakota shareholders will have any dissenters' or
appraisal rights.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

  The acquisitions have been structured so that PPR shareholders will not
recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Accounting Treatment

  Because PPR, Delta and Dakota are each, directly or indirectly, controlled
by Pohlad Companies, the transactions will be accounted for as a combination
of entities under common control. Accordingly, the common equity interests of
Delta and Dakota owned by Pohlad Companies (representing 23.2% of Delta and
100% of Dakota) will be combined with PPR at historical cost whereas the other
common equity interests of Delta that are acquired in the transactions will be
reported at fair value.

  Under this form of combination, all of the assets and liabilities of Dakota
and the proportionate share of the assets and liabilities of Delta represented
by the economic interests owned by Pohlad Companies will be carried forward to
PPR at their historical recorded bases. The non-Pohlad Companies' common
equity interests in Delta

                                      39
<PAGE>

(i.e., the minority interests in Delta) will be acquired at fair value and be
accounted for using the "purchase" method of accounting for a business
combination. Results of operations of PPR will include the results of PPR,
Delta and Dakota for the entire fiscal year in which the combination occurs,
with the minority interests in Delta reported separately during the period
prior to the consummation date. The reported balance sheet amounts and results
of operations of the separate companies for prior periods will be restated, as
appropriate, to reflect the combined financial position and results of
operations for PPR, again with the minority interests in Delta reported
separately during the period prior to the consummation date. Refer to the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for an
illustration of the form of reporting of the common control combination.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Acquisitions

  PPR will acquire Delta from various parties, including Pohlad Companies and
Metropolitan.

  Pohlad Companies and Metropolitan, an affiliate of PepsiCo, will transfer
their Delta common stock to Dakota, LLC, subject to their respective rights
and obligations under the Delta Exchange Agreement. Pohlad Companies currently
holds a 33.1% economic interest in PPR and 52.8% voting power over PPR. Pohlad
Companies also has voting control over Delta and Dakota. Under the Delta
Exchange Agreement, Pohlad Companies and Metropolitan will exchange their
ownership interests in Delta for shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. Pohlad
Companies owns 12,037.87 shares of Delta common stock for which it will
receive 4,139,078 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. Metropolitan owns
3,221.57 shares of Delta common stock for which Metropolitan will receive
1,107,698 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. Accordingly, Dakota, LLC will
receive PPR common stock directly from PPR in connection with the Delta
exchange.

  PPR will acquire Dakota from Pohlad Companies and PepsiCo.

  Pohlad Companies will contribute all of its DakBev Membership Units and its
interest in P-PR Transfer, LLP to Dakota, LLC. Metropolitan, an affiliate of
PepsiCo, will contribute shares of capital stock of PepsiCo to Dakota, LLC.
BFSI will contribute its interest in P-PR Transfer, LLP to Dakota, LLC.
Dakota, LLC will then exchange its DakBev Membership Units for 46,760,000
shares of PPR Class B Common Stock contemporaneously with the consummation of
the Delta exchange.

  PepsiCo is expected to enter into new franchise agreements with PPR.

  The existing franchise agreements between PepsiCo and PPR, Delta and Dakota
are expected to be replaced by new franchise agreements. See "The Franchise
Agreements."

  Certain officers and directors of PPR have interests in the acquisitions.

  Certain of PPR's executive officers and PPR's Board of Directors have
interests in the acquisitions that are in addition to the interests of PPR
shareholders generally.

  .  Robert C. Pohlad is Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of
     PPR, a director, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pohlad
     Companies and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Delta. As a
     result of the acquisitions, Pohlad Companies' ownership interest in PPR
     will increase substantially. See "Summary -- The Acquisitions."

  .  Kenneth E. Keiser is President and Chief Operating Officer of PPR, Delta
     and Dakota.

  .  John F. Bierbaum is Chief Financial Officer of PPR, a director and Chief
     Financial Officer of Delta, Chief Financial Officer of Dakota and Chief
     Financial Officer of Pohlad Companies.

  .  Bradley J. Braun is an executive officer of PPR, vice-president, finance
     and assistant secretary of Delta and has served as controller of Dakota.

  .  Jay S. Hulbert is an executive officer of PPR and vice president of
     operations of Delta.

  .  Raymond R. Stitle is an executive officer of PPR and vice president,
     human resources of Delta.

  .  Christopher E. Clouser is a director of both PPR and Delta.

  .  Philip N. Hughes is a director of both PPR and Delta.

  .  Michael D. White, who is a director of PPR, is Senior Vice President and
     Chief Financial Officer of PepsiCo.

                                      40
<PAGE>

  .  John F. Woodhead is a director of both PPR and Delta and has provided
     management consulting services to Dakota.

  .  Raymond W. Zehr is a director of PPR and has acted in various capacities
     with Pohlad Companies, including vice president.

  Indemnification letter.

  PPR has agreed to maintain, until the sixth anniversary of the acquisitions,
a directors, officers and company liability insurance policy. However, PPR is
only required to pay premiums for such insurance in an amount up to 150% of
the current annual premiums paid by PPR for such insurance. Each PPR director
at the date of the execution of the indemnification letter will continue to be
covered regardless of whether such director remains on the PPR Board of
Directors.

  Voting agreement.

  P-PR Transfer, LLP through which Pohlad Companies and PepsiCo own a majority
of the voting power of the PPR common stock, has entered into a voting
agreement with PPR. Under the terms of the voting agreement, P-PR Transfer,
LLP is required to vote its shares of PPR common stock in favor of the
acquisitions and the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreements,
including the proposals to amend PPR's Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the number of authorized shares of PPR capital stock and to change
PPR's name. Assuming P-PR Transfer, LLP complies with their obligations under
the voting agreement, the passage of the proposal to issue 65,070,006 shares
of PPR Class B Common Stock to Delta and Dakota shareholders is assured.

  Ownership of PPR after the acquisitions.

  After the consummation of the acquisitions, based on the number of shares of
PPR common stock outstanding on August 31, 1999, Pohlad Companies directly or
indirectly will hold 3,200,000 shares of PPR Class A Common Stock and
37,255,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock, representing 51.9% of the
voting power of PPR in the aggregate. The acquisitions will not result in a
change in control of PPR because Pohlad Companies currently holds 52.8% of the
voting power of PPR.

  Expected changes to the management agreements.

  As described below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,"
Pohlad Companies has provided management services to PPR, Delta and Dakota
pursuant to management agreements with each of these entities. In connection
with PPR's acquisition of Delta and Dakota, Pohlad Companies expects to amend
the Delta management agreement, to terminate the Dakota management agreement
and to cause PPR to pay the salaries and bonuses of certain of PPR's executive
officers.

  Pohlad Companies expects to decrease the annual base fee payable under the
Delta management agreement to $250,000 from $500,000. Such fee will escalate
each year with increases in Delta's gross revenue. Pohlad Companies expects to
terminate the Dakota management agreement pursuant to which Dakota paid Pohlad
Companies approximately $2.6 million in calendar year 1998. Following PPR's
acquisition of Delta and Dakota, Pohlad Companies expects that PPR will pay
directly the salaries and bonuses of certain of PPR's executive officers,
including Robert C. Pohlad, John F. Bierbaum and Kenneth E. Keiser.
Previously, these officers were paid by Pohlad Companies from fees collected
under the management agreements. Pohlad Companies estimates that the salaries
and bonuses paid to such officers in calendar year 1998 aggregated
approximately $1.2 million.

  Consequences of elimination of phantom plans.

  As described below under "Adoption of the 1999 Stock Option Plan-New Plan
Benefits," certain executive officers and directors of the combined entity
will be issued options to purchase an aggregate of 402,213 shares of PPR Class
B Common Stock in consideration of the cancellation of rights previously
granted under phantom stock plans of Delta and Dakota. Such persons will also
be issued 491,593 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock in consideration of such
cancellation. The following executive officers and directors of PPR will
receive options and shares in connection with the elimination of the phantom
plans: John F. Bierbaum, Kenneth E. Keiser, Bradley J. Braun, Jay S. Hulbert,
Raymond R. Stitle and John F. Woodhead.

     agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the
     benefit of, directly or indirectly, any "affiliate," officer, director
     or employee of Pohlad Companies or Metropolitan which transaction,
     together with any related transaction, involves aggregate consideration
     in excess of $500,000, unless such transaction is on terms that are no
     less favorable to PPR or the relevant PPR subsidiary than those that
     would have been obtained in a comparable, "arm's-length" transaction
     with an unrelated party and such transaction shall receive the approval
     of a majority of the independent directors on PPR's Board of Directors.
     Such agreement, however, does not apply to transactions entered into in
     the course of business between "affiliates," officers, directors or
     employees of Metropolitan as licensor and PPR or a PPR subsidiary as

closing:

  .  By mutual written consent of PPR, Delta and all of the Delta
     shareholders;

  .  By either PPR on one hand, or Delta, or the Delta shareholders on the
     other hand, if:

    .  the other party has failed to comply in any material respect with any
       of its covenants or agreements contained in the Delta Exchange
       Agreement or is in breach of any representation or warranty contained
       in the Delta Exchange Agreement and has failed to cure such failure
       or breach within five business days;

    .  the exchange has not been effected on or prior to the close of
       business on November 30, 1999; provided, however, that the right to
       terminate for this reason will not be available to any party whose
       failure to fulfill any of its obligations under the Delta Exchange
       Agreement resulted in the failure of the exchange to have occurred on
       or prior to such date;

    .  PPR shareholders do not approve the Delta Exchange Agreement and the
       acquisitions contemplated thereby, including the share issuance, the
       exchange and the PPR charter amendment; or

    .  the consummation of the Delta Exchange Agreement or acquisitions
       contemplated thereby would be illegal.

Amendment of the Agreement

and to cause Delta to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present
officers, directors and managers of Delta and of the Delta subsidiaries to the
maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (including
advancing expenses and attorneys' fees incurred prior to final disposition of
any proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by such manager, director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that he or
she is not entitled to be indemnified under the Delaware General Corporation
Law) including but not limited to acts or omissions occurring in connection
with the approval of the Delta Exchange Agreement, the filing of the
registration statement covering the PPR Class B Common Stock issuable in the
exchange and the consummation of the acquisitions contemplated thereby.

surviving entity. Pohlad Companies will contribute all its membership interest

stock of PepsiCo to Dakota, LLC in exchange for a membership interest in
Dakota, LLC. Dakota, LLC will then exchange all of its interest in DakBev for

subsidiary of PPR. The Dakota Exchange Agreement is set forth in Appendix B to
this document.

     or rules of the NYSE.

  .  If any state takeover law shall become applicable to the acquisitions,
     PPR and Dakota shall use their reasonable best efforts to take such

     promptly;

  .  From and after the closing, PPR agrees to, and to cause DakBev to,

     maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and
     Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable;

  .  PPR shall use its reasonable best efforts to give prompt notice to

     reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in
     the Dakota Exchange Agreement to be materially untrue or inaccurate or

Termination of the Agreement

  The Dakota Exchange Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
closing:

  .  By mutual written consent of PPR and Dakota;

  .  By PPR on one hand, or Dakota or Pohlad Companies on the other hand, if:

    .  the other party has failed to comply in any material respect with any
       of its covenants or agreements contained in the Dakota Exchange
       Agreement or is in breach of any representation or warranty contained
       in the Dakota Exchange Agreement and has failed to cause such failure
       or breach within five business days;

    .  the exchange has not been effected on or prior to the close of
       business on November 30, 1999; provided, however, that the right to
       terminate for this reason will not be available to any party whose
       failure to fulfill any of its obligations under the Dakota Exchange
       Agreement resulted in the failure of the exchange to have occurred on
       or prior to such date;

    .  PPR shareholders do not approve the Dakota Exchange Agreement and the
       acquisitions contemplated thereby, including the share issuance, the
       exchange and the PPR charter amendment; or

    .  the consummation of the Dakota Exchange Agreement or acquisitions
       contemplated thereby would be illegal.

Amendment of the Agreement

  The Dakota Exchange Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time
before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the
exchange by PPR shareholders. After any such shareholder approval, no
amendment can be made without further shareholder approval if required by law.
The Dakota Exchange Agreement may only be amended by an instrument in writing
signed on behalf of each of the parties.

Waiver under the Agreement

  The Dakota Exchange Agreement permits the parties at any time prior to the
closing to:

  .  Extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the
     other parties;

  .  Waive, in writing, any inaccuracies in the representations and
     warranties contained in the Dakota Exchange Agreement or in any document
     delivered pursuant thereto; and

  .  Waive, in writing, compliance with any of the agreements or conditions
     contained in the Dakota Exchange Agreement which may legally be waived.

Survival and Indemnification under the Agreement

  From and after the closing of the Dakota Exchange Agreement, PPR agrees to,
and to cause DakBev to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present
officers, directors and managers of Dakota, DakBev, and of the Dakota
subsidiaries to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law and Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable
(including advancing expenses and attorneys' fees incurred prior to final
disposition of any proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by such manager,
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined
that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified under the Delaware General
Corporation Law or Delaware Limited Liability Company Act), including but not
limited to acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of the
Dakota Exchange Agreement, the filing of the registration statement covering
the PPR Class B Common Stock issuable in the exchange and the consummation of
the acquisitions contemplated thereby.

                           THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

New Agreements with PepsiCo

  Upon the closing of the acquisitions contemplated by the exchange
agreements, PPR expects to enter into a number of bottling agreements with
PepsiCo. Together, the bottling agreements will cover the PepsiCo products and
territories presently assigned to PPR, Delta and Dakota, as well as additional
potential territories. PPR anticipates that these bottling agreements will
consist of:

  .  a master bottling agreement and a master fountain syrup agreement for
     beverages bearing the "PEPSI-COLA" and "PEPSI" trademark, including DIET
     PEPSI and PEPSI ONE in the United States;

  .  bottling agreements and fountain syrup agreements for non-cola products
     in the United States; and

  .  an international master bottling agreement for Puerto Rico and countries
     other than the United States.

  There can be no assurance that PepsiCo will appoint PPR as an anchor bottler
or that PepsiCo will enter into any of these bottling agreements with PPR. The
failure of either of these events to occur would have a material adverse
effect on PPR.

  The Master Bottling Agreement. The master bottling agreement would govern
PPR's manufacture, packaging, sale and distribution of specified cola
beverages and would give PPR the exclusive right to distribute the cola
beverages for sale in specified territories. PPR would be required to purchase
its entire requirements of concentrates for the cola beverages from PepsiCo at
prices, and on terms and conditions, as determined from time to time by
PepsiCo. The prices at which PPR purchases concentrate under the master
bottling agreement and the level of advertising and marketing support provided
by PepsiCo may vary materially from the levels provided historically.

  Under the master bottling agreement, PPR would be obligated to:

  .  maintain plant and equipment, trained staff, and distribution and
     vending facilities that are capable of manufacturing, packaging and
     distributing the cola beverages in sufficient quantities to fully meet
     the demand for these beverages in its territories;

  .  use adequate quality control measures and sanitation standards, as
     prescribed by PepsiCo, and abide by all flood, labeling, health,
     packaging and other applicable laws and regulations;

  .  cooperate in and purchase cooperative advertising and sales promotion
     programs and campaigns that may be reasonably established by PepsiCo in
     PPR's territories;

  .  promote the sale of the cola beverages in its territories;

  .  submit to PepsiCo samples of syrups, beverages and raw materials used in
     the manufacture of the syrups and beverages;

  .  use advertising and other forms of marketing to increase and maintain
     the demand for cola beverages in the specified territories;

  .  maintain the financial capacity reasonably necessary to assure PPR's
     performance under the allied bottling agreement;

  .  purchase containers from manufacturers authorized by PepsiCo.; and

  .  push vigorously the sale of the cola beverages.

  The master bottling agreement would require PPR to meet annually with
PepsiCo to discuss business plans for that year and for the following two
years. At these meetings, PPR would be obligated to present plans that set out
in reasonable detail satisfactory to PepsiCo, its marketing, management and
advertising plans for the cola beverages for the year. In addition, PPR would
also be required to present a financial plan showing that PPR has the
financial capacity to perform its duties and obligations under the master
bottling agreement. The financial plan

                                      58
<PAGE>

would also be required to include projected sales, marketing and advertising
plans and related equipment placements. PepsiCo would have the right to
approve these plans, and the approval may not be unreasonably withheld. PPR
would be required to report to PepsiCo periodically, but not less than
quarterly, as to its implementation of the approved plan.

  If PPR did not present a plan or presented a plan that PepsiCo did not
approve or failed to carry out the plan, it would be a primary consideration
in determining whether PPR had satisfied its obligations to maintain its
financial capacity, to push vigorously the sale of the cola beverages and to
increase and fully meet the demand for the cola beverages in its territories.
If PPR failed to carry out its plan in all material respects in any segment of
its territory, whether defined geographically or by type of market or outlet,
and PPR did not correct this failure within six months of notice of the
failure, PepsiCo may have the right to terminate the master bottling agreement
or may reduce the territory covered by the master bottling agreement by
eliminating the territory, market or outlet for which the failure has
occurred.

  The master bottling agreement would provide that PepsiCo may, in its sole
discretion, reformulate any of the cola beverages or discontinue certain cola
beverages, subject to certain limitations. If PepsiCo introduced new beverages
under the PEPSI-COLA or PEPSI trademarks or any modification of these
trademarks, PPR would be obligated to manufacture, package, distribute and
sell those new beverages in the same fashion as existing cola beverages. PPR
would be prohibited from producing or handling cola products, other than those
of PepsiCo, or other products or packages that imitate, infringe or cause
confusion with the products, trade dress, containers or trademarks of PepsiCo
and from acquiring, directly or indirectly, any ownership interest or entering
into any contract or arrangement, directly or indirectly, with any person that
engages in these prohibited activities. The master bottling agreement would
also impose requirements for the use of PepsiCo's trademarks, authorized
containers, packaging and labeling.

  The master bottling agreement would provide that PPR may not enter into any
contract or other arrangement or participate in the management of any other
PepsiCo bottler without the consent of PepsiCo. If PPR acquired control,
directly or indirectly, of any bottler of specified cola beverages, PPR would
be required to cause the acquired bottler to amend its bottling agreements for
the cola beverages to conform to the terms of the master bottling agreement.

  PPR would agree not to acquire or attempt to acquire the right to
manufacture and sell the cola beverages outside an area specified by PepsiCo
without PepsiCo's prior written consent. Any acquisition within the area
specified by the terms of the master bottling agreement would be subject to
PepsiCo's approval, and PepsiCo would agree not to withhold its approval if
the acquisition had been successfully negotiated and, in PepsiCo's reasonable
judgment, PPR had satisfactorily performed its obligations under the master
bottling agreement. PPR would agree not to pursue acquisitions outside a
specified area, which currently represents approximately 4.9% of PepsiCo's
United States bottling system in terms of volume.

  PPR would agree not to distribute or sell any cola beverage outside the
authorized territories. A shipment outside the authorized territory would be
deemed a transhipment and be subject to a per-case charge determined by
PepsiCo in its sole discretion as well as charges related to investigative
costs and costs of any recall of the transhipped beverages.

  The term of the master bottling agreement would be perpetual, but PepsiCo
would have the right to terminate the agreement in the event that PPR defaults
on the master bottling agreement. Events of default would include:

  .  PPR becoming insolvent, bankrupt, dissolving, entering receivership or
     suffering a similar change in financial condition;

  .  any person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or more of any
     class or series of the voting securities of PPR;

  .  PPR disposing of any voting securities in one of its bottling
     subsidiaries without the consent of PepsiCo;


                                      59
<PAGE>

  .  Any agreement regarding the manufacture, packing, distribution or sale
     of beverages in authorized containers between PepsiCo and any person
     that controls directly, or indirectly, PPR is terminated, unless PepsiCo
     agrees in writing that it does not constitute a default.

  .  PPR entering into and remains in any business which is prohibited by the
     master bottling agreement for six months or more after PepsiCo gives
     notice of that fact; or

  .  all or substantially all of PPR's bottling assets being sold or
     transferred to any entity other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPR.

  If the master bottling agreement was terminated, PepsiCo would have the
right to terminate the remaining Pepsi beverage agreements.

  PepsiCo would also be able to terminate the master bottling agreement if:

  .  PPR failed to make timely payments of debts it owed PepsiCo;

  .  PPR's plant or equipment failed to meet PepsiCo's sanitary standards;

  .  the syrups or cola beverages manufactured by PPR failed to meet
     PepsiCo's quality control standards;

  .  the cola beverages were not manufactured in conformity with PepsiCo's
     instructions;

  .  PPR failed to present or carry out an approved plan of operation; or

  .  PPR materially breached any other of its obligations under the master
     bottling agreement.

  Upon an event of default, PepsiCo would give PPR notice of the default and
an opportunity to correct the default within 60 days. If the default was not
corrected, PepsiCo would give PPR further notice and may suspend sales and
require PPR to cease production for 60 days. If a default had not been
corrected during the second 60-day period, PepsiCo would be able to terminate
the master bottling agreement.

  PPR would be prohibited from assigning, transferring or pledging the master
bottling agreement, or any interest in the agreement, whether voluntarily, by
operation of law, by merger or by liquidation without the prior consent of
PepsiCo.

  The master bottling agreement would be automatically amended if a number of
bottlers equal to those which purchase 80% or more of all of the concentrates
for cola beverages purchased by all bottlers who were parties to agreements
containing substantially the same terms as the master bottling agreement,
agreed with PepsiCo to different provisions than those contained in the master
bottling agreement.

  Non-Cola Bottling Agreements. The beverage products covered by the non-cola
bottling agreements would be beverages licensed to PPR by PepsiCo, consisting
primarily of MOUNTAIN DEW, DIET MOUNTAIN DEW, SLICE, WONDER KOLA and TEEM. The
non-cola bottling agreements would contain provisions similar to those
contained in the master bottling agreement including those for pricing,
transshipping, authorized containers, planning, quality control, plant and
equipment, advertising, financial capacity, defaults, transfer restrictions
and term. The non-cola bottling agreements would terminate if PepsiCo
terminated the master bottling agreement. The provisions contained in the non-
cola bottling agreements would prevent PPR from manufacturing, selling or
distributing beverage products which imitate, infringe upon, or cause
confusion with, the beverage products covered by the non-cola bottling
agreements. In addition, PepsiCo would be able to discontinue the manufacture,
sale or distribution of a non-cola beverage and terminate the non-cola
bottling agreements if it provided notice to PPR six months in advance of this
discontinuation.

  The Master and Non-Cola Fountain Syrup Agreements. The fountain agreements
would grant PPR the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute
fountain syrup to local customers in its territories. The fountain agreements
would also grant PPR the right to act as the exclusive manufacturing, delivery
and distribution agent for national accounts within its territories that elect
direct-to-store delivery. In addition, PPR may at the discretion of PepsiCo be
granted

                                      60
<PAGE>

a right to act as the manufacturer for fountain syrup to be delivered to
national accounts that chose to have delivery through independent
distributors. Under the fountain agreements, PPR would have the exclusive
right to service fountain equipment for all of the national account customers
within its territories. The fountain agreements would also provide for PepsiCo
to pay PPR fees for bottler delivery, brand development, equipment service and
production, as well as a service incentive.

  The fountain agreements would contain provisions similar to those contained
in the master and non-cola bottling agreements including those for pricing,
transshipping, planning, quality control, plant and equipment, advertising,
financial capacity, defaults and transfer restrictions.

  The fountain agreements would also terminate if PepsiCo terminated the
master bottling agreement.

  International Master Bottling Agreement. The international master bottling
agreement would grant PPR the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and
distribute cola beverages, certain non-cola brands and fountain syrup in
Puerto Rico and countries other than the United States. The international
bottling agreement would contain provisions similar to those contained in the
master bottling agreement and the non-cola bottling agreements, including
those for authorized containers, planning, quality control, plant and
equipment, advertising, financial capacity, defaults, transfer restrictions
and causes for termination.

Other Bottling Agreements

  Delta and Dakota have bottling agreements with other licensors of beverage
products, including Cadbury Beverages, Inc., The Seven-Up Company and The Dr
Pepper Company for DR. PEPPER, 7UP, SCHWEPPES, CRYSTAL LIGHT, TAHITIAN TREAT,
and CANADA DRY, the Pepsi/Lipton Tea Partnership for LIPTON BRISK and LIPTON'S
ICED TEA, the North American Coffee Partnership for STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCINO,
Sterling Assets Corp. and Proctor & Gamble Distributing Company, which contain
provisions generally similar in effect to those in the master bottling
agreement for the use of trademarks, trade names, approved containers and
labels, sales of imitations, and causes for termination. Some of these
beverage agreements have limited terms of appointment and, in most instances,
prohibit Delta or Dakota from dealing in similar beverage products.

  In July 1999, PPR entered into a contract rights agreement under which
Seven-Up/RC Bottling Company of Puerto Rico, Inc. released its exclusive
rights for the production and distribution of the 7UP, Sunkist, Welch's and
Schweppes soft drink brands in Puerto Rico. PPR obtained the releases as a
precondition to its entry into franchise agreements for these brands.

                             THE CREDIT FACILITIES

  The Delta Exchange Agreement and the Dakota Exchange Agreement each require
PPR to obtain a credit facility of up to $160 million for the purpose of
refinancing certain debt of PPR, Delta and Dakota. It is a condition to the
acquisition of Delta and Dakota that the credit facility be obtained.

  PPR has obtained a commitment from Bank of America, N.A., as administrative
agent and lender, for a $175 million senior secured credit facility. The
commitment is described in a letter, including a summary of terms, dated July
14, 1999. Bank of America and PPR plan to syndicate the credit facility among
a group of lenders. If a syndication is not achieved in a manner satisfactory
to Bank of America on the terms described in the commitment letter, Bank of
America reserves the right to change the pricing, structure or other terms of
the credit facility to ensure a successful syndication, provided that the
total amount of the facility remains unchanged.

  The following summary is intended as an outline of certain of the material
terms of the credit facility commitment and does not purport to summarize all
of the conditions, covenants, representations, warranties and other provisions
which would be contained in definitive legal documentation for the credit
facility.

Borrowers and Guarantors

  PPR and Dakota will be the borrowers under the credit facility. Each
subsidiary of PPR, other than Delta and its subsidiaries, will guarantee the
credit facility.

Credit Facilities

  The facility will include an $85 million three-year revolving line of
credit, a $30 million three-year term loan and a $60 million four-year term
loan. The term loans will be subject to quarterly amortization of principal,
based upon the annual amounts set forth below. The administrative agent in its
discretion may reduce the principal amount of one term loan and increase the
second in a like amount, with corresponding changes to the amortization
schedule.

</TABLE>

Purpose

  The proceeds of the credit facilities will be used:

  .  to refinance the entire outstanding principal amount of certain existing
     indebtedness of Dakota and PPR ($62.8 million as of July 14, 1999 and up
     to $1.8 million in related prepayment premiums).

  .  either (a) to fund the purchase by PPR of $53.8 million initial
     principal amount of 10% Subordinated Notes to be issued by Delta (the
     "Delta Subordinated Notes"), the proceeds of which will be used by Delta
     to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of Delta's 11%
     Subordinated Notes (the "Delta PIK Notes") or (b) to fund the purchase
     of the Delta PIK Notes by PPR for $53.8 million.

  .  to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisitions,
     including the credit facility, in an amount not to exceed $8.5 million.

  .  to provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes of
     PPR and its subsidiaries (excluding Delta), including permitted
     acquisitions of additional bottlers.

Interest Rates and Commitment Fee

  The revolving line of credit and each term loan will bear interest at either
(a) a rate fixed for periods of one, two, three or six months equal to the
eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin or (b) a floating rate equal to the
higher of the Bank of America prime rate or 50 basis points over the federal
funds rate, in each case plus the applicable margin. The borrowers will pay a
commitment fee quarterly on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit
and the term loans.

  The applicable margin and the commitment fee will vary depending on the
ratio of PPR's consolidated total debt to consolidated earnings before income
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The applicable margin will vary
from 125 to 250 basis points for the revolving line of credit and $30 million
term loan, and from 225 to 300 basis points for the $60 million term loan. The
commitment fee will vary from 35 basis points to 50 basis points.

  Prepayment of fixed rate loans will be subject to customary provisions for
lender cost and yield protection.


                                      62

Security

  The collateral for the credit facility will include a security interest in
all of the capital stock of each of the domestic subsidiaries (direct or
indirect) of PPR, 65% of the voting stock and 100% of all other classes of
stock of each foreign direct subsidiary of PPR, the Delta Subordinated Notes
or the Delta PIK Notes, as the case may be, and inventory and receivables of
PPR and its subsidiaries (other than Delta).

Mandatory and Optional Prepayments

  The credit facility will be subject to mandatory prepayment from certain
proceeds of asset sales, equity sales, and indebtedness. PPR and Dakota may
prepay the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without penalty,
subject to reimbursement of certain costs of the lenders in the case of
prepayment of eurodollar borrowings.

                                 THE COMPANIES

                    PEPSI-COLA PUERTO RICO BOTTLING COMPANY

Business

  PPR is a holding company which, through its manufacturing and distribution
subsidiaries, produces, sells and distributes a variety of soft drink and
fruit juice products and bottled water in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
pursuant to exclusive franchise arrangements with PepsiCo and other franchise
arrangements. PPR also has rights to sell PepsiCo products to distributors in
the U.S. Virgin Islands. PPR produces, sells and distributes soft drink
products primarily under the Pepsi-Cola, Slice, Wonder Kola, Teem and Mountain
Dew trademarks pursuant to exclusive franchise arrangements with PepsiCo. PPR
also produces, sells and distributes tonic water, club soda and ginger ale
under the Seagram trademark through an exclusive arrangement with Joseph E.
Seagram & Sons, Inc. and sells and distributes fruit juice products under the
Welch's trademark. In addition, PPR recently acquired the right to produce,
sell and distribute 7UP, Sunkist, Welch's and Schweppes soft drink brands in
Puerto Rico

  PPR was incorporated in Delaware and acquired the franchise rights to
produce, sell and distribute PepsiCo soft drink products in Puerto Rico in
1987. A subsidiary of PPR manufactures plastic bottles and "preforms" (small
molded plastic units which are expanded with air to produce plastic bottles).

  The principal market for PPR's products is Puerto Rico, a Commonwealth of
the United States with a population of approximately 3.7 million inhabitants.
Currently, approximately 35% of the population of Puerto Rico is under the age
of l8 and 45% of the population is under the age of 25 which PPR believes is
significant because young people are major consumers of soft drinks.

  Although PPR has rights to sell PepsiCo products to distributors in the U.S.
Virgin Islands, it is not required to do so under its franchise agreements
with PepsiCo. During 1998 less than 1% of PPR's sales by volume were to
distributors in the U.S. Virgin Islands. PPR has also received certain rights
and preferences for expansion of its exclusive business with PepsiCo
throughout the Caribbean.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

  Results of Operations

  Change in Control

  On July 17, 1998, P-PR Transfer, LLP, a Delaware registered limited
liability partnership, and V. Suarez & Co., Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation
("Suarez"), purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of PPR Class A Common
Stock and 6,210,429 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. P-PR Transfer, LLP is
a joint venture between Pohlad Companies and BFSI. The transactions were
previously disclosed by PPR in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC
on July 31, 1998.

  In connection with the change in control, PPR issued warrants to P-PR
Transfer, LLP and Suarez dated July 17, 1998 for the purchase of 1,360,000
shares of PPR Class B Common Stock and 340,000 shares of PPR Class B Common
Stock, respectively, exercisable at $6.875 per share at any time during a
period of seven years and six months after the date of the warrants. The
warrants may be transferred and give the holders on demand and unlimited
piggyback registration rights.

  Also in connection with the change in control, six of PPR's seven directors
resigned on July 17, 1998. Effective July 18, 1998, the size of PPR's Board of
Directors was increased to eight members and seven new directors were
appointed, each of whom were designated by P-PR Transfer, LLP. Also effective
July 18, 1998, certain of PPR's officers resigned.


                                      65
<PAGE>

  Restructuring Charge

  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, a restructuring charge of
$1.7 million was established under a plan to improve PPR's performance. The
charge included approximately $0.7 million of severance and related charges
for the elimination of 17 administrative personnel, $0.2 million of accruals
for future payments to exit activities, including canceling lease agreements,
and $0.8 million of asset writedowns related to the elimination of certain
product lines and exiting certain other business strategies. Management
anticipates the restructuring plan will provide annual savings of
approximately $1.3 million to $1.4 million beginning in 1999. Severance
payments in the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 totaled approximately
$0.2 million. Severance payments in the three month period ended December 31,
1998 and in the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 totaled approximately
$0.4 million and $47 thousand, respectively, while payments relating to other
exit activities approximated $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

  BAESA Stock Dividend

  In addition to conducting its own bottling operations, PPR previously owned
12,345,348 shares, or approximately 17% of the outstanding capital stock of
Buenos Aires Embotelladora S.A. ("BAESA"), and, through June 30, 1996,
exercised significant influence over the management of BAESA, subject to the
right of PepsiCo and certain of its affiliates to approve certain management
decisions. As of July 1, 1996, PepsiCo assumed operating control of BAESA and
PPR no longer controlled or had significant influence over, the management or
operations of BAESA.

  PPR's Board of Directors declared a dividend consisting of the 12,345,348
shares of capital stock of BAESA owned by PPR. The dividend was distributed on
June 17, 1998 to PPR's shareholders of record as of May 28, 1998. The
distribution was made in the form of 6,172,674 BAESA American Depository
Shares (each representing two underlying BAESA shares) on a pro rata basis to
the holders of PPR's 21,500,000 outstanding Class A shares and Class B shares.
The carrying value of the capital stock of BAESA had been written down to zero
at September 30, 1996. PPR's financial information for fiscal year 1996 and
earlier reflects PPR's equity interest in BAESA during those periods.

  Income Taxes

  PPR and its subsidiaries are Delaware corporations subject to U.S. federal
income taxes; however, PPR's subsidiaries are eligible for and have elected
the benefit of Section 936 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Section 936
presently allows a tax credit equal to a portion of the amount of U.S. income
taxes attributable to earnings derived from operations within Puerto Rico and
to certain qualified investments maintained in Puerto Rico, subject to certain
limitations. PPR's subsidiaries have elected to claim the credit under the
Economic Activity Limitation method. The 1996 Small Business Act repealed the
Section 936 credit prospectively. However, the act grandfathered in "existing
credit claimants" during a ten-year transition period. The credit under the
Economic Activity Limitation Act for Puerto Rico will be calculated under the
rules existing prior to the adoption of the act for taxable years beginning
after 1995 and before 2002. For taxable years beginning after December 31,
2001, a cap is placed upon the Puerto Rican source business income eligible
for the credit. For tax years beginning after January 1, 2006, the economic
activity credit is repealed in its entirety.

  In order to utilize income tax credits available under Section 936, each
subsidiary is required to derive at least 80% of its gross income from sources
within Puerto Rico, and at least 75% of gross income must be from an active
trade or business in Puerto Rico.

  Effective October 1998, PPR was granted an additional ten-year Puerto Rican
tax incentives exemption for its plastic preforms manufacturing and sales
operation. Under the terms of the grant, PPR's beverage packaging subsidiary
received a 90% exemption from Puerto Rico income tax, a 60% exemption from
municipal tax and a 90% exemption from property tax. In exchange for these tax
exemptions, PPR agreed to manufacture plastic preforms and plastic bottles,
employ a minimum number of persons and maintain equipment and facilities in
Puerto Rico.

                                      66
<PAGE>

  As of December 31, 1998, PPR and its subsidiaries had approximately $76.3
million in net operating losses available to offset against future earnings
for purposes of Puerto Rican taxation and $54.2 million in U.S. net operating
losses. The Puerto Rico net operating losses expire through 2006 and the U.S.
net operating losses expire through 2019. The net operating losses belong to
PPR and its manufacturing and distributing subsidiaries. For Puerto Rican and
U.S. tax purposes, related entities such as PPR and its wholly owned
subsidiaries may not join in the filing of a consolidated income tax return.
As a result, the net operating losses of one entity may not be absorbed or
utilized to offset the taxable income of any other related entity. Only the
entity that generated losses may use such losses to offset its own future
taxable income. As a result of the change in control transaction in the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998, PPR's utilization of its U.S. federal net
operating loss carryforwards is limited annually. Realization of all these
future income tax benefits is dependent on the existence of future taxable
income. Valuation allowances covering substantially all of the PPR's net
operating loss carryforwards have been provided as PPR does not believe that
it is "more likely than not" that the future income tax benefits will be
realized.

  Selling and Marketing Expense

  PPR has a number of marketing arrangements with PepsiCo pursuant to which
PPR is required to make certain investments in marketing, new products,
packaging introductions and certain capital goods. PPR receives reimbursements
from PepsiCo for a portion of such expenditures, which it is able to use to
offset traditional marketing expenses or to acquire fixed assets. PPR's
selling and marketing expenses are shown net of all such reimbursements from
PepsiCo.

  Change in Fiscal Year

  Effective January 1, 1999, PPR changed its fiscal year end from September 30
to December 31.

  Seasonality

  The historical results of operations of PPR have not been significantly
seasonal. However PPR anticipates that its results of operations in the future
may become more seasonal, with higher demand in the summer and holiday
seasons.

  Combination of Interests

  During the six months ended June 30, 1999, PPR incurred approximately $1.1
million in professional fees and other related costs related to the
combination of interests. Costs of approximately $0.7 million attributable to
combining the common equity interests of PPR, Delta and Dakota have been
expensed, while remaining costs of approximately $0.4 million attributable to
the acquisition of Delta's minority interests under the "purchase" method of
accounting have been capitalized as other long-term assets.

  Subsequent Events

  On July 30, 1999, PPR entered into a contract rights agreement with Seven-
Up/RC Bottling Company of Puerto Rico, Inc. ("Seven-Up PR") pursuant to which
Seven-Up PR released its exclusive rights for the production and distribution
of the 7UP, Sunkist, Welch's and Schweppes soft drink brands in Puerto Rico.
PPR used working capital to pay Seven-Up PR $12.0 million in cash in exchange
for these releases, based on negotiations between PPR and Seven-Up PR. PPR
obtained the releases as a precondition to its entry into new franchise
agreements for these brands. With the addition of these brands, PPR expects to
increase its case volume production by approximately 20%.

  On August 3, 1999, PPR entered into an asset purchase agreement with Seven-
Up PR pursuant to which PPR acquired from Seven-Up PR certain customer
information, owned vehicles, equipment and leased vehicle contracts. In
exchange for these assets, PPR used working capital to pay Seven-Up PR $30,300
in cash and to pay unrelated third party lessors $468,597 in cash. Seven-Up PR
used the assets in connection with its production and distribution of the 7UP,
Sunkist, Welch's and Schweppes soft drink brands in Puerto Rico. PPR expects
to use the assets for the same purpose.

</TABLE>

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998

  For the three months ended June 30, 1999, net sales for PPR increased $1.0
million to $26.8 million, a 3.7% increase over the three months ended June 30,
1998. The sales increase for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was driven
by a 7.0% increase in case volume sales. Case volume gains reflected higher
sales through supermarkets of packages with lower unit selling prices, but
more favorable margins, during the three months ended June 30, 1999.

  Cost of sales for PPR increased $0.7 million, or 3.5%, to $19.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, in comparison to the three months ended
June 30, 1998. This increase was due primarily to the increased sales volume.
The effect of those increases in costs were reduced by the effect of a modest
shift in product mix towards cans which have a lower cost than plastic
bottles.

  As a result of the above factors, gross profit for PPR increased $0.3
million, or 4.4%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for PPR decreased by $0.9
million, or 10.0%, to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998. PPR's provision for bad
debt allowance was decreased by $1.0 million in the three months ended June
30, 1999.

  During the three months ended June 30, 1999, PPR expensed approximately $0.7
million in professional fees and other related costs attributable to combining
the common equity interests of PPR, Delta and Dakota.

  As a result of the above factors, loss from operations for PPR decreased to
$1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999, from a loss of $2.4
million in the three months ended June 30, 1998.

  Net loss decreased to $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999,
from a net loss of $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 1998.
This decrease is the result of higher operating income and decreased interest
and income tax expense.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Net sales for PPR increased $1.3 million, or 2.6%, to $50.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1998. Case volume sales increased 7.9%, as compared to the same six months in
1998. However, the effect of this increase was reduced by reductions in
revenue from the sale of fountain products and home delivered bulk water. Net
sales in the six months ended June 30, 1998 included $1.5 million received in
settlement of franchise company marketing support claims from prior periods.

                                      68
<PAGE>

  Cost of sales for PPR increased $1.7 million, or 4.8%, for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998. This
increase was due primarily to the increased sales volume but also reflected
expenses for repair and maintenance of production lines that were $0.5 million
higher than the six months ended June 30, 1998. The effect of those increases
in costs were reduced by the effect of a modest shift in product mix towards
cans which have a lower cost than plastic bottles.

  As a result of the above factors, gross profit for PPR decreased $0.5
million, or 3.6%, to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as
compared to the same period in 1998.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for PPR decreased by $1.2
million, or 7.2%, to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease reflects a $0.3
million reduction in fleet costs achieved through buy-out of a full-service
lease for certain delivery vehicles. In addition, marketing and other
operating costs were reduced. There continued to be a reduction in
administrative staffing and expenditures for outside professional services
during the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in
1998.

  In the six months ended June 30, 1999, PPR reduced the carrying value of
assets related to its Cristalia water division by $0.3 million. This
adjustment reflected the effect of the sale of this division for $1.2 million
in April 1999. Also in the six months ended June 30, 1999, PPR expensed
approximately $0.7 million in professional fees and other related costs
attributable to combining the common equity interests of PPR, Delta and
Dakota.

  As a result of the above factors, PPR had a loss from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 of $4.6 million, compared to a loss of $4.4 million
for the same period in 1998.

  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $0.9 million,
compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1998. This decrease was a
result of reductions of long-term debt.

  Net loss increased to $5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999,
from a net loss of $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998.
This increase was the result of lower operating income and an increased income
tax expense. In the six months ended June 30, 1998, PPR recognized the effect
of a carryback to prior income tax periods of expenses incurred in settlement
of litigation.

  Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended December
31, 1997

  Net sales for PPR increased $2.8 million, or 11%, to $28.3 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 (the "1998 interim period") from the
three months ended December 31, 1997 (the "1997 interim period"). This
increase was primarily the result of the increase in case volume sales, which
increased 14% during the 1998 interim period compared to the 1997 interim
period. The increased volume was in cans and 20 oz. plastic bottles; this was
offset by a decrease in average overall pricing of 2.7% and reductions of
price support.

  Cost of sales for PPR increased $3.1 million, or 18.2%, for the 1998 interim
period as compared to the 1997 interim period to $20.3 million. This increase
was primarily due to the increased sales volume and costs of imported
products.

  Gross profit for PPR decreased by 3.8% to $8.0 million for the 1998 interim
period as compared to the 1997 interim period. The decrease was primarily due
to the impact of Hurricane Georges in late September 1998, which forced PPR to
halt production for two weeks after the storm and import higher cost finished
goods for an extended period.

  Selling and marketing expenses for PPR decreased $0.5 million, or 7.4%, to
$6.9 million for the 1998 interim period as compared to the 1997 interim
period. This decrease was primarily due to reduced operating expenses of $0.5
million in the 1998 interim period as compared to the 1997 interim period.


                                      69
<PAGE>

  Administrative expenses for PPR increased $0.5 million, or 33.2%, for the
1998 interim period from the 1997 interim period to $1.8 million. This
increase reflected transition costs of implementing the new management and
accounting services agreements.

  PPR's results of operations for the 1998 interim period were affected by the
incurrence of charges for unusual items. The unusual items included an
estimated asset impairment loss of $0.3 million relating to the sale of the
Cristalia water business which was pending during the 1998 interim period. The
impact of this unusual item was offset by the benefit of additional insurance
proceeds of $0.3 million for loss of business from October 1, 1998 to October
21, 1998 due to Hurricane Georges.

  Loss from operations for PPR decreased to $0.6 million in the 1998 interim
period, from a loss of $0.5 million in the 1997 interim period. This decrease
was the result of lower gross profit of $0.3 million, higher administrative
expenses of $0.5 million, and an additional reserve for asset impairment.
These were offset in part by the lower selling and marketing expenses of $0.5
million and proceeds from business interruption insurance related to the
hurricane of $0.3 million.

  Net loss decreased to $1.4 million in the 1998 interim period, from a net
loss of $1.0 million during the 1997 interim period. This decrease was the
result of lower operating income and an increased income tax expense.

  Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September
30, 1997

  Net sales for PPR increased $0.2 million, or 0.2%, in fiscal year 1998 from
fiscal year 1997 to $99.4 million. This increase was primarily the result of
an increase in sales volume of approximately 3.0% offset partially by
increased discounts provided to customers in 1998 as compared to 1997. The
average net sales price decreased during fiscal year 1998 by approximately
1.8% as compared to fiscal year 1997.

  Cost of sales for PPR increased $2.3 million, or 3.3%, for fiscal year 1998
as compared to fiscal year 1997 to $70.5 million. This increase was primarily
the result of the increase in sales volume.

  Gross profit for PPR decreased by $2.0 million to $28.9 million in fiscal
year 1998 from $30.9 million in 1997. As a percentage of net sales, gross
profit decreased to 29.1% in 1998 from 31.2% in 1997. The decrease was
primarily due to the higher discounts provided to customers (which resulted in
a lower average net sales price).

  Selling and marketing expenses for PPR decreased $0.2 million, or 0.5%, to
$30.1 million for the fiscal year 1998 as compared to the 1997 fiscal year. As
a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 30.3%
during the fiscal year 1998 from 30.5% in the 1997 fiscal year.

  Administrative expenses for PPR decreased $2.4 million or 28.2% for fiscal
year 1998 from fiscal year 1997 to $6.0 million. This decrease was primarily
the result of reductions of $0.9 million in the cost of legal services,
reductions of $1.0 million in salaries and wages, and $0.5 million in other
administrative expenses. As a percentage of net sales, administrative expenses
decreased to 6.1% during fiscal year 1998 from 8.5% in fiscal year 1997.

  PPR's results of operations for fiscal year 1997 were affected by the
incurrence of a non-cash expense of $13.2 million in connection with PPR's
settlement of certain civil litigation, representing the estimated value of
2.5 million shares of PPR Class B Common Stock transferred as part of the
settlement. Because these shares were contributed to PPR by PPR's founding
shareholders, and because PPR received a $4.0 million recovery from its
liability insurance carrier, the net effect on PPR's equity of the settlement
transaction was a $1.5 million gain, which can be viewed as a recovery of
previously expensed legal cost. There was no similar non cash expense that was
incurred during fiscal year 1998.

  PPR's results of operations for fiscal year 1998 were affected by the
incurrence of charges for unusual items totaling $3.3 million. The unusual
items included costs related to the restructuring plan initiated by the new
management of PPR ($1.7 million), provision for certain legal and
environmental issues ($0.8 million), and

                                      70
<PAGE>

provision for reduction in the estimated market value of the former production
facility now held for resale ($0.8 million). The impact of these unusual items
was offset by the benefit of insurance proceeds of $1.3 million for loss of
business from September 22, 1998 to September 30, 1998 due to Hurricane
Georges.

  Loss from operations for PPR decreased to $9.2 million in fiscal year 1998
from a loss of $21.4 million in fiscal year 1997. This decrease was the net
result of the decrease in gross profit of $2.0 million, decreased selling and
marketing costs of $0.2 million, decreased administrative costs of $2.4
million, the absence of the settlement of litigation charge of $13.2 million
and unusual items of $3.3 million in fiscal year 1998 versus a restructuring
charge of $0.5 million in fiscal year 1997.

  Income tax benefit was $1.0 million for fiscal year 1998 as compared to $3.3
million for fiscal year 1997. PPR's effective tax rate differs from the
statutory rate primarily due to the Puerto Rico economic activity credit and
valuation reserves provided for PPR's net operating losses.

  Net loss during fiscal year 1998 was $9.6 million, compared to a net loss of
$19.5 million during fiscal year 1997.

  Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September
30, 1996

  Net sales for PPR decreased $3.7 million, or 3.6%, for fiscal year 1997 from
fiscal year 1996 to $99.2 million. This decrease was primarily the result of
the significant increase in discounts provided to customers, partially offset
by a 4.0% increase in sales volume in fiscal year 1997 as compared to fiscal
year 1996. The increase in discounts resulted from intense competitive
activity. The average net sales price on an eight ounce serving equivalent
basis decreased during fiscal year 1997 by approximately 7.3% as compared to
fiscal year 1996.

  Cost of sales for PPR decreased by $6.7 million, or 9.0%, to $68.2 million
for fiscal year 1997 from fiscal year 1996. This decrease was primarily the
result of lower raw material costs and lower labor costs, partially offset by
a 4.0% increase in sales volume and by higher depreciation costs for the new
manufacturing facility in fiscal year 1997 as compared to fiscal year 1996.

  Gross profit for PPR increased by $3.0 million to $30.9 million for fiscal
year 1997 from $27.9 million in fiscal year 1996. As a percentage of net
sales, gross profit increased to 3l.2% in fiscal year 1997 from 27.2% in
fiscal year 1996. The increase was primarily due to the increased sales volume
of 4.0%, offset in part by lower average net sales price, and the lower cost
of sales which was due to lower raw material costs and labor costs, partially
offset by the increased depreciation costs of the Toa Baja plant.

  Selling and marketing expenses for PPR decreased by $12.2 million, or 28.8%,
to $30.2 million for fiscal year 1997 from fiscal year 1996. This decrease was
primarily due to reductions in marketing spending of $8.2 million, reductions
in labor costs of $1.5 million, reductions in fleet and other maintenance
costs of $1.8 million, a reduction in insurance expense of $0.5 million and
net reductions in security and other expenses of $0.2 million in fiscal year
1997 as compared to fiscal year 1996. As a percentage of net sales, selling
and marketing expenses decreased to 30.5% during 1997 fiscal year as compared
to 41.3% for fiscal year 1996.

  Administrative expenses for PPR decreased by $1.2 million, or 12.3%, to $8.4
million, for 1997 fiscal year as compared to fiscal year 1996. This decrease
was primarily the result of lower professional fees incurred in fiscal year
1997, due in part to the recovery of $1.5 million from the PPR's officers and
directors liability insurance carrier, as compared to fiscal year 1996. As a
percentage of net sales, administrative expenses decreased to 8.5% during
fiscal year 1997 from 9.3% in fiscal year 1996.

  PPR's results of operations for fiscal year 1997 were affected by the
incurrence of a non-recurring restructuring charge of $0.5 million. This
charge was for the costs associated with employee terminations which resulted
in a reduction of the PPR's work force by approximately 5%. During fiscal year
1996, a charge of $2.7 million was recorded. The 1996 charge was recorded in
connection with the fixed asset write-down of $1.4 million related to the
closing of all bottling operations in PPR's old bottling plant and $1.3
million in pension asset write-offs and costs associated with employee
terminations.

                                      71
<PAGE>

  Loss from operations for PPR decreased to $21.4 million during fiscal year
1997, from a loss of $26.8 million for fiscal year 1996. The decreased loss
resulted from (i) a $3 million improvement in gross profit resulting from
higher unit sales volume of 4%, and lower raw material and labor costs,
partially offset by lower net selling prices due to increased discounts
offered to customers and higher depreciation expense, (ii) lower selling and
marketing costs of $12.2 million, (iii) lower administrative expenses of $1.2
million, (iv) the incidence of non-cash settlement of litigation costs of
$13.2 million, and (v) a decrease in restructuring charges of $2.2 million.

  Based on information made public by BAESA, equity in net loss of BAESA, net
of income taxes, amounted to $51.5 million for fiscal year 1996. PPR's equity
in the loss reported by BAESA for fiscal year 1996 was such that it reduced
the PPR's investment to zero, meaning that no further equity in losses of
BAESA would be reported by PPR until BAESA reported profits sufficient to
produce a positive investment in BAESA on PPR's balance sheet. No such profits
were realized during fiscal year 1997. As a result of withdrawal of
partnership interest in BAESA Shareholder Associates and the liquidation of
Argentine Bottling Associates, an affiliated partnership through which PPR
held its investment in BAESA, PPR will no longer be subject to the accounting
requirements that requires PPR to report the results of operations of BAESA on
an equity basis.

  Income tax benefit was $3.3 million for fiscal year 1997 as compared to $1.2
million for fiscal year 1996. The increase was primarily due to income tax
benefit arising from the carry back of current year losses to fiscal year
1994.

  Net loss for fiscal year 1997 was $19.5 million, compared to a loss of $74.3
million for fiscal year 1996. Loss during fiscal 1997 before equity in net
loss of BAESA was $19.5 million, as compared to $22.9 million for fiscal year
1996.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

  General

  In April 1999, PPR completed the sale of the Cristalia water business. The
sales price of $1.2 million was comprised of $0.7 million cash and $0.5
million note receivable. The majority of the cash proceeds were used to prepay
amounts due on long-term debt.

  On July 30, 1999, PPR entered into a Third Restated Credit Agreement (the
"Third Restated Credit Agreement") with Banco Popular and Bank of America.
This agreement includes long-term loans of $31.8 million and a short-term
revolving credit facility of $5.0 million. The loans are due on the earlier to
occur of the acquisition of Delta and Dakota or April 25, 2000. Assuming that
the acquisitions are completed, PPR intends to retire all debt under the Third
Restated Credit Agreement with funds borrowed under its new credit facility.
See "The Credit Facilities."

  Under the terms of the Third Restated Credit Agreement, PPR must maintain
tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) of $26.0 million on September
30, 1999, $24.5 million at December 31, 1999, and $23.5 million at April 25,
2000. In addition, under certain circumstances, PPR may be required to prepay
a portion of the debt. Specifically, net proceeds of capital asset
dispositions over $0.25 million per year, insurance recoveries other than for
business interruption not promptly applied toward repair or replacement, and a
portion of excess cash flow (as defined in the agreement), must be applied
toward early repayment of the amounts outstanding under this agreement. The
entire principal amount of loans outstanding under the Third Restated Credit
Agreement becomes immediately due and payable if PPR violates any of these
financial restrictions. Furthermore, PPR may not pay dividends without the
consent of the lenders under the Third Restated Credit Agreement. PPR has
granted the lenders a security interest in all its machinery and equipment,
receivables, inventory and the real property on which the Toa Baja Plant and
the Rio Piedras Plant are located. PPR believes it is in full compliance with
the terms of the Third Restated Credit Agreement.

  The Delta Exchange Agreement and the Dakota Exchange Agreement each require
PPR to obtain a credit facility of up to $160 million for the purpose of
refinancing certain debt of PPR, Delta and Dakota. PPR has obtained a
commitment from Bank of America, as administrative agent and lender, for a
$175 million senior secured credit facility. See "The Credit Facilities."


                                      72
<PAGE>

  PPR had indebtedness, including short-term and long-term borrowings and
capital lease obligations at June 30, 1999 of $21.9 million, at December 31,
1998 of $23.1 million, at September 30, 1998 of $23.5 million and at September
30, 1997 of $31.5 million.

  Capital expenditures, before the effect of dispositions, for PPR totaled
$6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999. Capital expenditures,
before the effect of dispositions, for PPR totaled $1.2 million in the 1998
interim period. Capital expenditures for the fiscal years ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 were $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Net cash used in operating activities for PPR was $4.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $1.5 million for the same period
in 1998.

  Net cash used in investing activities for PPR was $6.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $0.7 million for the same period
in 1998. The increase in cash used in investing activities reflected purchases
of equipment to buy-out a full service lease for delivery vehicles, to acquire
additional vehicles to expand the direct servicing of accounts previously
serviced by wholesalers and to place additional marketing equipment.

  Cash flows used in financing activities for PPR were $1.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with $0.6 for the same period in
1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, PPR borrowed an additional
$0.8 million on a long term basis. Additional loans were not incurred in the
six months ended June 30, 1999.

  Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended December
31, 1997

  Net cash used in operating activities for PPR was $3.7 million for the 1998
interim period as compared with $3.6 million for the 1997 interim period. The
net cash used in operating activities, excluding the portion due to changes in
assets and liabilities, was $0.2 million during the 1998 interim period and
$0.4 million in the 1997 interim period. The net cash used in operating
activities that was due to changes in assets and liabilities was $3.9 million
in the 1998 interim period and $4.0 million in the 1997 interim period.

  Net cash used in investing activities for PPR was $1.2 million for the 1998
interim period as compared with $0.5 million for the 1997 interim period.
Purchases of property and equipment, net of disposals, amounted to $1.2 and
$0.5 million for the 1998 and 1997 interim periods, respectively.

  Cash flows used in financing activities for PPR were $0.4 million for the
1998 interim period as compared with $1.6 for the 1997 interim period.
Financing activities for PPR during the 1998 and 1997 interim periods were
limited to the net repayment of debt.

  Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September
30, 1997

  Net cash used in operating activities for PPR was $7.7 million for fiscal
year 1998 as compared with $7.4 million for fiscal year 1997. The net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities excluding the portion due to
changes in assets and liabilities was ($2.2) million during fiscal year 1998
and $0.4 million during fiscal year 1997. The net cash used in operating
activities that was due to changes in assets and liabilities was $5.5 million
during fiscal year 1998 and $7.8 million during fiscal year 1997.

  Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for PPR was ($2.3)
million for fiscal year 1998, as compared with $8.5 million for fiscal year
1997.

  Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities for PPR were $15.2
million for fiscal year 1998 as compared with ($0.2) million for fiscal year
1997. The significant financing activities for PPR in fiscal year 1998 were
the infusion of equity related to the common stock sale attendant to the
change of control of $23.1 million, net of issuance costs, and repayment of
$7.9 million of short and long-term debt. The significant financing activity
of PPR in fiscal year 1997 was the net repayment of indebtedness of $0.2
million. In the future, the payment of

                                      73
<PAGE>

dividends will be dependent on the achievement of adequate levels of
profitability in PPR's Puerto Rican operations, and, under certain conditions,
the consent by Banco Popular. PPR does not expect to pay any dividends for the
foreseeable future.

  Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

  The Year 2000 problem concerns the ability of information systems and
equipment controlled by computer chips and systems to properly recognize and
process date-sensitive information on and beyond January 1, 2000. The risks
from this date change are both internal and external and can potentially
affect PPR's production, distribution and administrative systems and PPR's
customers, suppliers of raw materials, utilities and distribution services.
Year 2000 related problems could prevent customers from accepting deliveries
from PPR or processing payments for amounts due to PPR. Suppliers may be
prevented from producing and supplying goods or services essential to PPR's
business.

  Delta provides information services to PPR, including the use of information
systems and technology, under an accounting services agreement executed in
fiscal year 1998. PPR completed its transition to Delta's systems, hardware
and software during the first quarter of 1999. Below is a discussion of PPR's
Year 2000 readiness and planning status, which has been patterned after
Delta's Year 2000 planning.

  PPR's production facility uses equipment that operates using computer
control systems based upon programmed logic controllers. PPR completed a Year
2000 compliance evaluation of these systems. PPR also uses computer systems to
forecast demand, order raw materials, monitor inventory levels, ship product
and record shipments. The software that runs these processes is a combination
of commercially available software and internally developed applications.
PPR's initial assessment indicated that these applications were Year 2000
compliant, and PPR, through Delta, has completed the testing of these
applications. PPR relies on a supply chain to produce and distribute its
products from manufacturing facilities to distribution warehouses and finally
to customers. PPR's distribution centers use a common supply chain management
application that is Year 2000 compliant.

  In order to assess the external risks to PPR, Delta distributed Year 2000
readiness surveys to PPR's suppliers and key customers. PPR is waiting for the
responses from suppliers and customers to complete the assessment.

  PPR has not incurred material incremental costs associated with its Year
2000 plan. This is due in part to the recent conversion to systems provided by
Delta. Within the last 18 months, Delta has replaced most software
applications in use before 1993 with systems that are Year 2000 compliant. PPR
believes that the remaining costs associated with addressing Year 2000
compliance issues will not be material.

  PPR's most likely potential risk with regard to Year 2000 issues is the
temporary inability of suppliers to provide supplies of raw materials to PPR.
The inability of PPR's suppliers to be Year 2000 ready could result in delays
in product manufacturing and delivery, thereby adversely affecting the
business or operations of PPR. PPR believes, however, that in a worst case
scenario any disruption in supply materials can be minimized by relying on
inventories or shifting production to unaffected plants with some increase in
distribution costs.

  PPR recognizes the need for Year 2000 contingency plans in the event that
remediation is not fully successful or that the remediation efforts of its
vendors and suppliers are not timely completed. PPR plans to address
contingency planning during calendar 1999. Such plans will include building
inventories of raw materials and finished goods in advance of January 1, 2000
to protect against supply and production disruptions. To the extent that PPR's
vendors and suppliers are unable to provide sufficient evidence of Year 2000
readiness by September 30, 1999, PPR will seek to arrange for their
replacement. Additionally, PPR is developing manual processes to replace
electronic applications in the event of their failure.

  Inflation

  There was no significant impact on PPR's operations as a result of inflation
during the six months ended June 30, 1999, the three months ended December 31,
1998, or the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 or 1996.

  Impact of Changes in Accounting Standards

  Effective October 1, 1998, PPR adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 132,
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits"
which required, among other items, additional disclosures on changes in PPR's
pension benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets. PPR adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share," in fiscal year 1998 which require the presentation of a
basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented. Accordingly,
PPR's net loss per common share was computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Net loss per common
share-assuming dilution did not include PPR's potentially dilutive securities
because to do so would have been antidilutive. PPR also adopted the provisions
of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," in fiscal year 1998. This
statement established standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

  PPR uses financial instruments, primarily variable rate debt, to finance
operations, for capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. PPR's
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to
investments, and short- and long-term debt obligations. PPR places its
investments in high-quality securities with major financial institutions while
limiting exposure to any one issuer. PPR does not use derivative financial
instruments or engage in trading activities. There were no significant changes
in PPR's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates during the six
months ended June 30, 1999.

  The table below summarizes the principal cash flows of PPR's financial
instruments outstanding at December 31, 1998, categorized by type of
instrument and by year of maturity.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure

  On August 24, 1998, PPR engaged Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as
its principal independent accountants to audit its financial statements. On
the same date, PPR informed KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") that KPMG would no
longer serve as PPR's independent auditor. The replacement of KPMG by Arthur
Andersen was approved by PPR's Board of Directors on August 5, 1998.

  KPMG's reports on PPR's financial statements for the two fiscal years
preceding its dismissal did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or

                                      75
<PAGE>

accounting principles. There were no disagreements, during or subsequent to
PPR's past two fiscal years to August 24, 1998, between PPR and KPMG on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure
or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to KPMG's satisfaction,
would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of such
disagreements in connection with its report.

                          DELTA BEVERAGE GROUP, INC.

Business

  Delta is one of the largest soft drink manufacturers and distributors in the
U.S., selling over 27.9 million hard cases of PepsiCo products and 7.3 million
hard cases of other soft drinks in 1998. Delta is the fifth largest
independent PepsiCo bottler in the U.S. PepsiCo is the second leading soft
drink franchiser in the U.S., capturing approximately 31.4% of all soft drink
sales in 1998. In 1998, net sales for Delta totaled $352.1 million and EBITDA
was $29.9 million.

  Delta's exclusive franchise territories cover portions of Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas and include the cities of New
Orleans, Memphis, Little Rock, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Tupelo. In the
aggregate, there are approximately seven million people in Delta's
territories. Delta has the exclusive right within its territories to
manufacture and/or distribute the following families of products: PEPSI-COLA
(cola), MOUNTAIN DEW (heavy citrus), 7UP (lemon-lime), SLICE (orange), OCEAN
SPRAY (juices), LIPTON (iced teas), SQUIRT (heavy citrus), COUNTRY TIME
(lemonade), CANADA DRY (ginger ale), CRUSH (fruit), HAWAIIAN PUNCH (fruit),
MUG (root beer), ALL SPORT (sport drink), YOO-HOO (chocolate), CRYSTAL LIGHT
(diet) and various other product offerings. In addition, Delta is the largest
distributor of Miller products in the state of Louisiana and has the exclusive
right to distribute Miller and Heineken USA Incorporated products in greater
New Orleans, Louisiana.

Delta believes its success as an independent bottler is due primarily to its
ability to produce efficiently and to market and distribute effectively its
national brands. Delta's products include highly recognizable trademarks, most
of which are supported by considerable national advertising expenditures made
by the franchiser. In 1998, for example, PepsiCo spent in excess of $165
million in national advertising to advertise PepsiCo products. Furthermore,
all of Delta's territories are located in the southern region of the U.S. that
historically has posted above average per capita consumption of soft drinks.

  Delta operates two soft drink production facilities, one in Collierville,
Tennessee, and the other in Reserve, Louisiana, with a total annual production
capacity of 74.3 million cases. Delta distributes approximately 97% of its
soft drink products to retail outlets through its computerized direct store
delivery ("DSD") system. Delta's DSD system utilizes hand-held computer
technology to receive orders from and process deliveries to Delta's customers.
Through its DSD system and its 24 warehouse distribution facilities
strategically located throughout its territories, Delta services and
distributes products to over 32,000 retail outlets in five states. Retail
customers in Delta's territories include The Kroger Company, Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc., Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. and Circle K Convenience Stores, Inc. Delta
tracks its product sales daily and uses this information to plan its
production, which is subject to seasonal swings in demand, and to interpret
and react to changes in consumer buying patterns. This allows Delta to provide
efficient and effective service to its retail customers.

  Pursuant to a Joint Venture Agreement, Delta and Poydras Street Investors
LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company, formed the Pepsi Cola/Seven-Up
Beverage Group of Louisiana, a Louisiana general partnership (the "Louisiana
Joint Venture"). The Louisiana Joint Venture distributes soft drinks in New
Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, pursuant to franchise agreements entered
into or assumed by the Louisiana Joint Venture. The soft drink products
distributed by the Joint Venture are supplied by Delta. The Louisiana Joint
Venture also distributes Miller and Heineken beer products in greater New
Orleans.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

  Results of Operations

  General

  Delta was acquired by its current owners in March 1988 in a highly leveraged
transaction which was premised on a turnaround of operations and expansion of
business opportunities. The results of operations started to reflect a
significant turnaround in 1990 when the current senior management group took
office. Delta has accomplished a number of business combinations since 1988,
the most significant of which have been (i) combining in 1992 its PepsiCo
based sales operation in southern Louisiana with a Seven-Up based sales
operation in the same territory through a joint venture in which Delta is
majority owner and managing venturer and (ii) acquiring in April 1995 the
distribution rights for Miller products in a significant portion of the joint
venture territory.

  In September 1993, Delta issued the 1993 Senior Notes (the "1993 Senior
Notes"), the Subordinated Notes and other equity to refinance the debt
incurred in 1988. As a result, Delta's interest expense burden was
substantially reduced. However, effective in May 1996, the interest rate on
the 1993 Senior Notes was adjusted as part of obtaining covenant waivers
necessitated by the down-turn in operating results in 1995. Delta fully repaid
the 1993 Senior Notes in December 1996 with proceeds received from the
issuance of the new Senior Notes (the "Notes").

  As is typical of acquisitions in the beverage industry, Delta's balance
sheet reflects significant allocation of purchase price to the cost of
franchise rights in excess of net assets acquired ($107.2 million, $109.0
million and $112.6 million, each net of accumulated amortization, at June 30,
1999, December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively). Amortization of
the cost of (i) franchises, (ii) obtaining financing and (iii) non-compete
agreements from former owners constitutes a significant non-cash charge to
operations.

  Delta accumulated significant tax-basis net operating loss carryforwards
(NOL's) during the turnaround period prior to the 1993 recapitalization.
Management believes the NOL's will be utilized before their expiration to
offset future income otherwise taxable. A deferred income tax asset
representing the income tax benefit to be realized through future utilization
of the NOL's was recorded on Delta's balance sheet in 1993 following the
recapitalization. Provision for income taxes related to the results of
operations for years subsequent to and including 1993 are substantially offset
against the deferred income tax asset and thus are effectively a non-cash
charge to operations.

  Delta's primary measurement of unit volume is franchise case sales which are
case-sized quantities of the various packages in which products are produced.
Franchise case sales refers to physical cases of beverages sold. Delta also
sells premix or draft products (ready-to-serve beverages which are sold in
tanks or kegs) and postmix products (fountain syrups to which carbonated water
must be added). Premix and postmix products, while effectively containing the
identical beverages as packaged product, are not included in case sales
measurements as they are not the primary focus of Delta's selling efforts.

  Delta's primary source of revenue is franchise sales of Delta's branded
products directly to retailers whether of package, premix or postmix
configuration. Another source of revenue is contract sales, which are sales,
primarily of products in cans, to unaffiliated companies that hold soft drink
franchises. Contract sales, which historically represent approximately 10.0%
to 12.0% of total net sales, may fluctuate from year to year, and are made at
relatively low prices and gross profit margins due to the competition for such
sales, and are not a primary focus of management in determining Delta's
business strategy. As a result, management believes that changes in franchise
case sales more accurately measure growth than changes in total net sales.

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998

  Net sales, excluding contract sales, for the three months ended June 30,
1999 increased by 1.2% to $85.7 million compared to $84.8 million for the same
period in 1998. The increase was due to a 4.9% increase in franchise case
sales volume, primarily of Delta's take-home packages of soft drinks, offset
by a decrease in

                                      77
<PAGE>

average net sales pricing per franchise case of approximately 4.3%. The
decrease in average selling price was due to an increase in the proportion of
take-home packages as compared to total volume and an increase in support
given to retailers featuring those packages. In addition, the average selling
price of single serve packages of soft drinks increased as the result of
continued expanded placement of marketing equipment. Contract net sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased 4.8%, as compared to the same
period in 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in sales mix volume
from two liter bottles to cans. Contract net sales represented 11.1% of net
sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 11.8% of net sales
for the same period in 1998. As a result of the foregoing, aggregate net sales
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 0.5% to $96.5 million
compared to $96.0 million for the same period in 1998.

  Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to $65.7
million compared to $65.9 million for the same period in 1998. The decrease
was primarily due to lower cost of packaging and the effect of higher volume
on manufacturing overhead. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to 68.1% compared to 68.6% for the
same period in 1998. The improved margin associated with the single-serve
packages of soft drinks and the increase in soft drink franchise case sales
resulted in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of $30.8
million or 2.1% more than the gross profit of $30.2 million for the same
period in 1998.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1999 increased to $22.7 million compared to $22.4 million for the same
period in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of
selling, distribution and warehousing expenses, advertising and marketing
expenses, and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A increased by
$0.2 million due primarily to increased personnel costs and insurance costs.
All expenses grew at a rate less than volume growth.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 increased to $7.2 million, or 7.4% of net sales,
compared to $6.9 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the same period in 1998.

  Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased to $4.9
million from $4.7 million for the same period in 1998. The increase was due
primarily to the additional interest associated with additional Subordinated
Notes ("Delta PIK Notes") issued by Delta to pay the interest on the
Subordinated Notes.

  Delta had income before income taxes and minority interest of $2.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 which was consistent with the same
period in 1998.

  Delta's effective income tax rate differs from statutory rates due to
several factors. The most significant factor is the non-tax-deductibility of
franchise cost amortization. For interim periods, income tax expense and
benefit are provided at the effective rate projected for a full fiscal year.

  As a result of the foregoing factors, Delta had a net loss of $2.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to net income of $0.7
million for the same period in 1998.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Net sales, excluding contract sales, for the six months ended June 30, 1999
increased by 3.5% to $157.2 million compared to $151.9 million for the same
period in 1998. The increase was due primarily to a 7.5% increase in soft-
drink franchise case sales. There was strong consumer demand for Delta's soft
drink products in single-serve packages which was the result of expanded
placement of single-serve marketing equipment. The effect of the demand for
single-serve packages was, however, partially offset by the effect of
competition on net pricing in Delta's take-home soft drink packages. Contract
net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 2.9% compared to
the same period in 1998. As a result of the foregoing, aggregate net sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 3.5% to $177.7 million compared
to $171.8 million for the same period in 1998.

  Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased to $122.0
million compared to $119.3 million for the same period in 1998. The increase
was due primarily to the 7.5% increase in franchise case sales as well as

                                      78
<PAGE>

the higher unit cost of purchasing beer from breweries. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to 68.6%
compared to 69.4% for the same period in 1998. The improved margin associated
with single-serve packages of soft drinks and the increase in soft drink
franchise case sales resulted in gross profit for the six months ended June
30, 1999 of $55.8 million, 6.2% greater than the gross profit of $52.5 million
for the same period in 1998.

  Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1999 increased to $44.6 million compared to $43.4 million for the same
period in 1998. Selling and distribution expenses increased by $0.4 million
due to the placement of equipment dedicated to single-serve packages of soft
drinks. G&A increased by $0.8 million due primarily to increased personnel
costs and insurance costs.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 increased to $9.3 million, or 5.3% of net sales, from $7.3
million, or 4.3% of net sales, for the same period in 1998. Delta's operating
results are affected by seasonal demand for its products which generally
results in higher sales and operating income in the second and third quarters
of each fiscal year.

  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased to $9.6
million from $9.4 million for the same period in 1998. The increase was due
primarily to the additional interest associated with additional PIK Notes
issued by Delta to pay the interest on the Subordinated Notes.

  As a result of the above factors, Delta had a loss before income taxes and
minority interest of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to a loss before income taxes and minority interest of $2.1 million
for the same period in 1998.

  Delta's effective income tax rate differs from statutory rates due to
several factors. The most significant factor is the non-tax-deductibility of
franchise cost. For interim periods, income tax expense and benefit are
provided at the effective rate projected for a full fiscal year.

  As a result of the foregoing factors, Delta had a net loss of $0.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million
for the same period in 1998.

  Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

  Net sales, excluding contract net sales, for the year ended December 31,
1998 increased by 3.7% to $307.2 million compared to $296.1 million for the
same period in 1997. The increase was due primarily to a 4.5% increase in
franchise case sales, of which (i) 4.0% was attributable to increased sales of
Delta's soft drink products including an increase in average unit selling
price of 0.7% and (ii) 0.5% was attributable to increased sales of Delta's
beer products including a 1.2% increase in average unit selling prices. The
majority of the increase in soft drink franchise case sales came in single-
serve packages and also in take home soft drinks. Pricing for soft drink
packages overall in 1998 was relatively consistent with the prior year
although the pricing effect of a greater proportion of sales of single-serve
packages was offset by moderate decreases in pricing of take-home packages.
Beer pricing increased, reflecting industry trends and an increase in the
proportion of premium beer sales to total beer sales. Contract net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1998 increased 55.5% compared to the same period
in 1997 due to the addition of product requirements for an existing can
product customer. As a result of the foregoing, net sales for the year ended
December 31, 1998 increased 8.9% to $352.1 million compared to $323.2 million
for the same period in 1997.

  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased to $245.7
million compared to $216.6 million for the same period in 1997. The increase
was due primarily to an increase in franchise case sales offset by a decrease
in the unit prices paid by Delta for certain soft drink raw materials,
primarily packaging materials and sweetener. In addition, the significant
increase in the contract packaging business had the effect of reducing average
unit cost of sales by spreading fixed manufacturing costs over a greater
volume. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales for the year ended
December 31, 1998 increased to 69.8% compared to 67.0% for the same period in
1997 due primarily to the effect of the substantial increase in contract net
sales. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the year ended December
31, 1998 was $106.4 million compared to $106.7 million for the same period in
1997.

                                      79
<PAGE>

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
1998 increased to $87.0 million compared to $83.3 million for the same period
in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of
selling, distribution and warehousing expenses ("S&D"), advertising and
marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses. All categories
grew at a rate consistent with franchise case sales growth. Thus, the effect
of leveraging fixed costs against higher unit volumes was partially offset by
increases in S&D due to expenses related to and the placement of equipment
dedicated to single-serve packages of soft drinks.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 decreased to $15.7 million, or 4.5% of net sales, compared
to $19.7 million, or 6.1% of net sales, for the same period in 1997.

  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased to $18.8
million from $17.9 million for the same period in 1997. The increase was due
primarily to higher utilization of Delta's credit facility and the effect of
payment-in-kind of interest on its subordinated debt.

  As a result of the above factors, Delta realized a loss before income taxes
and minority interest of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998
compared to income of $1.8 million for the same period in 1997.

  Delta's effective income tax rate differs from statutory rates due primarily
to the non-tax deductibility of franchise cost amortization.

  As a result of the foregoing factors, Delta had a net loss of $3.3 million
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 compared to a net loss of $0.1
million for the same period in 1997.

  Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996

  Net sales, excluding contract net sales, for the year ended December 31,
1997 increased by 3.0% to $296.1 million compared to $287.4 million for the
same period in 1996. The increase was due primarily to a 2.6% increase in
franchise case sales, of which (i) 2.5% was attributable to increased sales of
Delta's soft drink products accompanied by an increase in average unit selling
price of 0.2% and (ii) 0.1% was attributable to increased sales of Delta's
beer products accompanied by a 2.0% increase in average unit selling prices.
The majority of the increase in soft drink franchise case sales came in
single-serve packages, although unit volume of take home soft drink and beer
packages also increased. Pricing for soft drink packages overall was
relatively consistent with the same period of the prior year although the
pricing effect of a greater proportion of sales of single-serve packages was
offset by moderate decreases in pricing of take-home packages. Beer pricing
increased, reflecting industry trends and an increase in the proportion of
premium beer sales to total beer sales. Contract net sales for the year ended
December 31, 1997 increased 8.9% compared to the same period in 1996. As a
result of the foregoing, net sales for the year ended December 31, 1997
increased 3.5% to $323.2 million compared to $312.3 million for the same
period in 1996.

  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased to $216.6
million compared to $215.1 million for the same period in 1996. The increase
was due primarily to an increase in franchise case sales offset by a decrease
in the unit prices paid by Delta for certain soft drink raw materials,
primarily packaging materials and sweetener. In addition, the significant
increase in the contract packaging business had the effect of reducing average
unit cost of sales by spreading fixed manufacturing costs over a greater
volume. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales for the year ended
December 31, 1997 decreased to 67.0% compared to 68.9% for the same period in
1996. The improved margin associated with single-serve packages of soft drinks
and premium beer brands and increased franchise case sales resulted in gross
profit for the year ended December 31, 1997 of $106.7 million or 9.8% greater
than the gross profit of $97.2 million for the same period in 1996.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
1997 increased to $83.3 million compared to $76.9 million for the same period
in 1996. All categories grew at a rate consistent with sales growth,
reflecting the effect of leveraging fixed costs against higher unit volumes,
partially offset by increases in selling, distribution and warehousing
expenses due to expenses related to and placement of equipment dedicated to
single-serve packages of soft drinks. In addition, the increase reflected
increases in general and administrative expenses due to provisions for
incentive compensation plans based on the attainment of targeted

                                      80
<PAGE>

performance. The level of expenditure for such incentives in 1997 exceeded
comparable expenditures during 1996 by approximately $2.3 million.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 increased to $19.7 million, or 6.1% of net sales, compared
to $16.7 million, or 5.3% of net sales, for the same period in 1996.

  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased to $17.9
million from $15.1 million for the same period in 1996. The increase was due
to the higher interest rates associated with the December 1996 refinancing of
Delta's senior debt and the effect of payment-in-kind of interest on its
subordinated debt. The total debt service requirements of Delta have been
reduced through elimination of current principal payments on senior
indebtedness.

  As a result of the above factors, Delta generated income before income
taxes, minority interest and extraordinary items of $1.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1997 compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 1996.

  Delta's effective income tax rate differs from statutory rates due primarily
to the non-tax deductibility of franchise cost amortization.

  As a result of the foregoing factors, Delta had a net loss of $0.1 million
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 compared to a net loss of $2.3
million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The 1996 Delta loss
includes an extraordinary item (loss on extinguishment of debt) of $1.5
million, net of an income tax benefit of $1.0 million.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

  General

  Based on anticipated operating results, management does not expect Delta's
future operating activities will generate sufficient cash flows to repay in
their entirety its $120.0 million of Notes payable at their maturity on
December 15, 2003. While management believes Delta will be able to refinance
the Notes at or prior to their maturity, or raise sufficient funds through
equity or assets sales to repay such indebtedness, or effect a combination of
the foregoing, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.

  Delta has Subordinated Notes payable with a balance of $51.2 million at June
30, 1999, $48.6 million at December 31, 1998 and $43.6 million at December 31,
1997. The Subordinated Notes mature on December 23, 2003. However, the
maturity of the Subordinated Notes can be extended to December 23, 2004 and
then to December 23, 2005 if any debt incurred to refinance the 1993 Senior
Notes is then outstanding. The Subordinated Notes have an interest rate of
11.0% which can be paid under certain conditions with Delta PIK Notes.
Management expects those conditions will exist at least until December 1999
and that it will make payments of interest in Delta PIK Notes to conserve
cash. Management does not expect that Delta's future operating activities will
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the Subordinated Notes at their
maturity. While management believes that Delta will be able to refinance the
Subordinated Notes, including any Delta PIK Notes, at or prior to their
maturity, or raise sufficient funds though equity or asset sales to repay such
indebtedness, or effect a combination of the foregoing, there can be no
assurance that it will be able to do so.

  Delta's principal use of funds until 2003 will be the payment of interest
and investment in capital assets and strategic acquisitions. It is expected
that Delta's primary sources of funds for its future activities will be
operations. While Delta does not currently anticipate utilizing the funds
available under its credit agreement for other than seasonal working capital
requirements, such funds may be used to augment operating cash flow. Pursuant
to the credit agreement, Delta has a borrowing capacity of up to $30.0
million, including $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of
credit. At June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, $8.9
million, $5.6 million, and $0, respectively, had been drawn on the credit
agreement. The credit facility will mature in 2001 based on Delta's
anticipated operating results. Management believes that Delta's future
operating activities will generate sufficient cash flows to repay borrowings
under the credit agreement as they become due and payable.

  Management believes that Delta's production facilities will be sufficient to
meet anticipated unit growth for the next several years. Accordingly,
management anticipates the capital expenditures in respect of such facilities
will consist of expenditures to maintain operating efficiency. Capital
expenditures will be required primarily for Delta's automobile and truck
fleet, vending machines, and routine plant, bottling and canning equipment
additions or maintenance. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, capital
expenditures totaled $8.6 million. During the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997, capital expenditures totaled $14.9 million and $15.0 million,
respectively. Delta anticipates that capital expenditures will total
approximately $12.5 million in fiscal year 1999.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Delta had cash of $4.0 million and working capital of $34.1 million at June
30, 1999, compared to cash of $3.8 million and working capital of $32.5
million at December 31, 1998. Working capital represents current assets
(excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities (excluding
current maturities of long-term debt and other long-term liabilities).

  The $0.2 million increase in cash from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999
resulted from net cash provided by operations of $8.8 million, augmented by
$3.1 million provided by net financing activities, less cash used by investing
activities of $11.8 million. The cash provided by operations was net of a $1.6
million increase in working capital. In the same period in 1998, cash
increased by $0.3 million resulting from net cash provided by operations of
$8.4 million and from net financing activities of $5.0 million less cash used
by investing activities of $13.1 million.

  Cash used in investing activities of $11.8 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 represented a $1.3 million decrease from cash used in the same
period of 1998. The higher amount in 1998 was primarily for marketing
equipment related to single-serve packages of soft drinks.

  Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 1999 provided $3.1
million in net cash, which represented a $1.9 million decrease over the $5.0
million in net cash provided in the same period of 1998. This decrease in net
cash provided resulted primarily from credit agreement advances of
approximately $7.0 million less credit agreement payments of approximately
$4.5 million. The lower level of capital expenditures required less reliance
on the credit agreement in 1999.

  Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

  Delta had cash of $3.8 million and working capital of $32.5 million at
December 31, 1998, compared to cash of $4.7 million and working capital of
$35.4 million at December 31, 1997. Working capital represents current assets
(excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities (excluding
advances under the credit agreement and current maturities of long-term debt
and other liabilities).

  The $0.9 million decrease in cash from December 31, 1997 to December 31,
1998 resulted from net cash provided by operations of $17.0 million less cash
used in investing activities of $22.6 million plus cash provided by financing
activities of $4.7 million during the year. The cash provided by operations in
1998 was $6.9 million greater than provided in 1997 due principally to a
reversal in the growth of working capital. In 1997, working capital grew $10.2
million and in 1998 decreased by $0.6 million primarily due to changes in
inventory and current liabilities.

  Cash used in investing activities of $22.6 million in the year ended
December 31, 1998 was a $6.4 million increase over the cash used during 1997.
Cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures of
$14.9 million in the year ended December 31, 1998, a $0.1 million decrease
from 1997, and included $7.5 million used for expenditures to secure long-term
marketing relationships.

  Financing activities in the year ended December 31, 1998 provided $4.7
million in net cash which represented a $6.2 million increase over the $1.5
million in net cash used in the same period in 1997. This increase in net cash
provided resulted primarily from net credit agreement advances of
approximately $5.6 million.

  Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

  The term "Year 2000" is used to describe general problems that may result
from improper processing of dates and date-sensitive calculations by computers
or other machinery as the year 2000 is approached and reached. This problem
stems from the fact that many of the world's computer hardware and software
applications have historically used only the last two digits to refer to a
year. As a result, many of these computer programs do not or will not properly
recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19." If not
corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results.

  The risks from this date change are both internal and external and can
potentially affect Delta's production, distribution and administrative systems
and Delta's customers, suppliers of raw materials, utilities and distribution
services. Year 2000 related problems could prevent customers from accepting
deliveries from Delta or processing payments for amounts due to Delta.
Suppliers may be prevented from producing and supplying goods or services
essential to Delta's business.

  PepsiCo distributed to its franchisees its Year 2000 compliance plan, which
Delta used as a framework for the development and implementation of its own
Year 2000 compliance. Delta evaluated its information technology ("IT")
systems for Year 2000 compliance. Delta also assessed its non-IT systems (i.e.
embedded technology such as microprocessors in manufacturing and other
equipment). Delta has completed its assessment of IT and non-IT systems, with
the exception of its HVAC system, copiers and fax machines.

  Currently, Delta is modifying both IT and non-IT systems to make them Year
2000 compliant. In instances where modifications have been completed or were
not required, Delta is testing the systems to ensure Year 2000 compliance.

  Delta uses outside vendors to supply its most significant data processing
software. These vendors have indicated their products are Year 2000 compliant
or will be Year 2000 compliant by year end. Delta also relies on third party
suppliers for raw materials. Delta has contacted each of its critical
suppliers to assess their readiness and to determine the extent to which Delta
may be vulnerable to such parties' failure to resolve their own Year 2000
issues. Due to delays in receiving responses from suppliers, Delta now expects
this effort to be completed by September 30, 1999.

  Delta does not expect the cost of becoming Year 2000 compliant to be
material to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
This is due, in part, to Delta's recent significant upgrades to its data
communication network and key data processing hardware, all of which are Year
2000 compliant.

  Delta recognizes that Year 2000 issues constitute a material known
uncertainty. Delta also recognizes the importance of ensuring that Year 2000
issues will not adversely affect its operations. Delta believes that the
processes described above will be effective to manage the risks associated
with the problem. However, there can be no assurance that the processes can be
completed on the timetable described above or that remediation will be fully
effective. The failure to identify and remediate Year 2000 issues, or the
failure of key vendors, suppliers or other critical third parties who do
business with Delta to timely remediate their Year 2000 issues could cause an
interruption in the business operations of Delta. At this time, however, Delta
does not possess information necessary to estimate the overall potential
financial impact of Year 2000 compliance issues.

  Delta's worst case scenario would be the temporary inability of suppliers to
provide supplies of raw materials to Delta. The inability of Delta's suppliers
to be Year 2000 ready could result in delays in product manufacturing and
delivery, thereby adversely affecting the business or operations of Delta.
Delta believes, however, that in a worst case scenario any disruption in
supply materials can be minimized by relying on inventories or shifting
production to unaffected plants with some increase in distribution costs.

  Delta recognizes the need for Year 2000 contingency plans in the event that
remediation is not fully successful or that the remediation efforts of its
vendors and suppliers are not timely completed. Delta plans to address
contingency planning during calendar 1999. Such plans will include building
inventories of raw materials and

                                      83
<PAGE>

finished goods in advance of January 1, 2000 to protect against supply and
production disruptions. To the extent that Delta's vendors and suppliers are
unable to provide sufficient evidence of Year 2000 readiness by September 30,
1999, Delta will seek to arrange for their replacement. Additionally, Delta is
developing manual processes to replace electronic applications in the event of
their failure. Finally, Delta is working with its customers to build customer
inventory levels at year-end as a contingency against company or customer Year
2000 failure.

  Inflation

  There was no significant impact on Delta's operations as a result of
inflation during the six months ended June 30, 1999 or the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 or 1996.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

  Delta uses financial instruments, including fixed and variable rate debt, to
finance operations, for capital expenditures and for general corporate
purposes. Delta's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to short- and long-term debt obligations. Delta does not use
derivative financial instruments or engage in trading activities. There were
no significant changes in Delta's exposure to market risk for changes in
interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

  The table below summarizes the principal cash flows of Delta's financial
instruments outstanding at December 31, 1998, categorized by type of
instrument and by year of maturity.

                         DAKOTA BEVERAGE COMPANY, INC.

Business

  Dakota operates 12 Pepsi-Cola bottling franchises in northwestern and
southwestern Minnesota, eastern North and South Dakota and northwestern Iowa.
Major population centers in the franchise territories include Warroad, Thief
River Falls and Ortonville, Minnesota; Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks, North
Dakota; Aberdeen, Sioux Falls and Watertown, South Dakota; and Estherville,
Iowa. Dakota is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pohlad Companies.

  Dakota's operations are conducted under exclusive, perpetual franchise
agreements with PepsiCo in all of its territories and Cadbury Schweppes and
recognizable allied brands in portions of its territories.

  Dakota purchases all of its bottled and canned soft drink products from Wis-
Pak, Inc., a soft drink bottling and canning cooperative. Dakota owns and
operates one bottle production line with an annual capacity of approximately
2.5 million cases and a fountain syrup production line. Dakota's bottling line
is dedicated to the production of soft drinks exclusively for Wis-Pak.

  Wis-Pak currently operates five filling plants and two plastic bottle
manufacturing plants and is one of the largest soft drink manufacturing
operations in the United States. Production for the year ended December 31,
1998 was 133 million units (cases/gallons).

  The bottlers who are members of Wis-Pak, including Dakota, have entered into
long term contracts under which they agree to purchase 100% of their annual
requirements of bottled and canned Pepsi products from Wis-Pak. Prices for
product are established by Wis-Pak and approved by Wis-Pak's Board of
Directors. Rebates are distributed to the shareholders annually based on Wis-
Pak's profitability. Dakota is the second largest shareholder in Wis-Pak with
a 12% economic interest. Dakota has historically purchased approximately 11%
of Wis-Pak's production annually. Dakota has one seat on Wis-Pak's 12 member
Board of Directors.

  Dakota and Wis-Pak purchase their primary raw materials through Consolidated
Purchasing Group ("CPG"). Formed in 1991, CPG is a purchasing cooperative
comprised of 130 independent Pepsi-Cola bottlers. Membership in CPG has
resulted in lower raw material costs due to CPG purchasing in large
quantities. Raw materials not purchased from CPG include product concentrate,
which can only be purchased from the franchiser, and aluminum cans.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

  Results of Operations

  General

  As is typical in the beverage industry, Dakota's balance sheet reflects
significant allocation of purchase price to the cost of franchise rights in
excess of net assets acquired ($12.8 million, $12.4 million and $12.7 million,
each net of accumulated amortization, at June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively).

  Effective January 1, 1997, Dakota elected S Corporation status under the
applicable Internal Revenue Code and Minnesota Income Tax sections, whereby
the taxable income and any available tax credits of Dakota are included in the
income tax return of its shareholder. As part of the change in tax status, in
1997, Dakota eliminated the effect of all basis differences. The effect of
these basis differences at January 1, 1997 was $2.5 million in the aggregate
and was recorded in the statement of operations as a benefit for income taxes.
As Dakota is no longer required to pay income taxes, no provision for income
taxes has been included in the operating results for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997.

  Dakota's primary measure of unit volume is franchise case sales, which are
case-sized quantities of the various bottle and can packages in which products
are produced. Franchise case sales refers to physical cases of beverages sold.
Dakota also sells premix (ready-to-serve beverages which are sold in tanks)
and postmix products (fountain

                                      85
<PAGE>

syrups to which carbonated water must be added). Premix and postmix products,
while effectively containing the identical beverages as packaged product, are
not included in case sales measurements as they are not the primary focus of
Dakota's selling efforts.

  Dakota's primary source of revenue is franchise sales of Dakota's branded
products directly to retailers in bottle, can, premix or postmix
configuration. Another source of revenue is full-line vending sales, primarily
of candy, snack, beverages and food products sold through vending machines.
Full-line vending sales represent less than 5% of total net sales.

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998

  Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased by 1.9% to
$26.9 million compared to $26.4 million for the same period in 1998. The
increase was due primarily to a 4.9% increase in the average per case selling
price. Soft drink franchise case sales decreased by 4.5% due mainly to
consumer resistance to the retail price increase in 1999.

  Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to $15.3
million compared to $15.7 million for the same period in 1998. The decrease
was due primarily to a decrease in the per case prices paid by Dakota for soft
drink packages purchased from its cooperative supplier, Wis-Pak. Wis-Pak
experienced lower raw material packaging costs for plastic bottles. These
decreased costs were passed along to Dakota. As a result of the foregoing,
gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $11.6 million
compared to $10.7 million for the same period in 1998.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1999 increased to $6.7 million compared to $5.9 million for the same
period in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of
selling, distribution and warehousing expenses, advertising and marketing
expenses, and general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased
12.6%, due mainly to wage rate increases and expenses related to the placement
of equipment dedicated to sales of single-serve packages.

  During the three months ended June 30, 1999, Dakota expensed approximately
$1.3 million in professional fees and other related costs attributable to
combining the common equity interests of Dakota, Delta and PPR.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to $3.4 million, or 12.7% of net sales,
compared to $4.6 million, or 17.6% of net sales, for the same period in 1998.

  Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three months ended June
30, 1999 decreased slightly from the same period in 1998. The decrease was due
primarily to the scheduled principal payments on the senior secured notes.

  As a result of the above factors, Dakota realized net income of $3.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to net income of $4.4
million for the same period in 1998.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased by 2.3% to $48.7
million compared to $47.6 million for the same period in 1998. The increase
was due primarily to a 4.7% increase in the average per case selling price.
Soft drink franchise case sales decreased by 3.2% due mainly to consumer
resistance to the retail price increase in 1999.

  Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to $27.8
million compared to $28.1 million for the same period in 1998. The decrease
was due primarily to a decrease in the per case prices paid by Dakota for soft
drink packages purchased from their cooperative supplier, Wis-Pak. Wis-Pak
experienced lower raw material packaging costs for plastic bottles. These
decreased costs were passed along to Dakota. As a result of the

                                      86
<PAGE>

foregoing, gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $20.9
million compared to $19.5 million for the same period in 1998.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1999 increased to $13.0 million compared to $11.9 million for the same
period in 1998. These expenses increased 9.4%, due mainly to wage rate
increases and expenses related to the placement of equipment dedicated to
sales of single-serve packages.

  During the six months ended June 30, 1999, Dakota expensed approximately
$1.3 million in professional fees and other related costs attributable to
combining the common equity interests of Dakota, Delta and PPR.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 decreased to $6.3 million, or 13% of net sales, compared
to $7.3 million, or 15.4% of net sales, for the same period in 1998.

  Interest expense, net of interest income, for the six months ended June 30,
1999 decreased slightly from the same period in 1998. The decrease was due
primarily to the scheduled principal payments on the senior secured notes.

  As a result of the above factors, Dakota realized net income of $6.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to net income of $6.9 million
for the same period in 1998.

  Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

  Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased by 2.6% to $97.4
million compared to $94.9 million for the same period in 1997. The increase
was due primarily to a 6.1% increase in franchise case sales volume and a
decrease in the average per case selling price of 1.0%. The majority of the
increase in soft drink franchise case sales came in single-serve packages sold
in refrigerated vendors and coolers. There was also a moderate increase in
take-home soft drink volume. Pricing for soft drink packages overall in 1998
was relatively consistent with the prior year although the pricing effect of a
greater proportion of sales of single-serve packages was offset by decreases
in pricing of take-home packages and increases in off-invoice discounts given
to retail customers.

  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased to $57.0
million compared to $53.9 million for the same period in 1997. The increase
was due primarily to an increase in raw materials costs, primarily packaging
materials and sweetener, which resulted in higher franchise case sales costs
that were passed along to Dakota by their cooperative supplier for soft drink
packages. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was $40.3 million compared to $41.0 million for the same
period in 1997.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
1998 increased to $24.5 million compared to $24.0 million for the same period
in 1997. These expenses increased 2.2% in 1998, while case sales volume
increased 6.1%. Thus, Dakota was able to leverage fixed costs against higher
unit volumes in 1998, even though there was 3.5% increase in selling,
distribution and warehousing expenses due to expenses related to the placement
of equipment dedicated to single-serve packages of soft drinks.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 decreased to $15.4 million, or 15.8% of net sales, compared
to $16.5 million, or 17.4% of net sales, for the same period in 1997.

  Interest expense, net of interest income, for the year ended December 31,
1998 decreased to $0.6 million from $0.7 million for the same period in 1997.
The decrease was due primarily to the scheduled principal payments on the
senior secured notes.

  As a result of the above factors, Dakota realized net income of $14.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to net income of $15.7
million for the same period in 1997.

                                      87
<PAGE>

  Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996

  Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased by 6.0% to $94.9
million compared to $89.5 million for the same period in 1996. The increase
was due primarily to a 4.5% increase in franchise case sales volume and an
increase in the average per case selling price of 1.7%. The majority of the
increase in soft drink franchise case sales came in single-serve packages sold
in refrigerated vendors and coolers. There was also a small increase in take-
home soft drink volume. Pricing for soft drink packages overall was relatively
consistent with the prior year. Pricing was affected by a greater proportion
of sales of single-serve packages, including a moderate single-serve price
increase, which was offset by decreases in pricing of take-home packages.

  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased to $53.9
million compared to $52.9 million for the same period in 1996. The increase
was due primarily to an increase in franchise case sales. The increase was due
primarily to an increase in raw materials costs, primarily packaging materials
and sweetener which resulted in higher franchise case sales costs which were
passed along to Dakota by their cooperative supplier for soft drink packages.
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the year ended December 31,
1997 was $41.0 million compared to $36.6 million for the same period in 1996.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
1997 increased to $24.0 million compared to $20.8 million for the same period
in 1996. These expenses increased 15% in 1997, while case sales volume
increased 4.5%. Dakota's fixed costs increased at a faster rate than unit
volumes in 1997 mainly due to expenses related to the placement of equipment
dedicated to single-serve packages. Additionally, Dakota also experienced cost
of $0.3 million in 1997 related to flood damage incurred in its Fargo, North
Dakota facility.

  As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 increased to $16.5 million, or 17.4% of net sales, compared
to $15.3 million, or 17.1% of net sales, for the same period in 1996.

  Interest expense, net of interest income, for the year ended December 31,
1997 decreased to $0.7 million from $0.9 million for the same period in 1996.
The decrease was due primarily to the scheduled principal payments on the
senior secured notes.

  As a result of the above factors, Dakota generated income before income
taxes of $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to $14.5
million for the same period in 1996.

  Net income in 1997 was $18.2 million compared to $8.9 million in 1996. As
mentioned above, Dakota changed its tax status in 1997 and as a result, no
income tax provision was recorded in 1997; however, 1997 was impacted by a
$2.5 million income tax benefit recorded as a result of Dakota's change in tax
status. The 1996 operations reflected an income tax provision of $5.6 million.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

  General

  Dakota's principal use of funds until 2003 will be the repayment of interest
and investment in capital assets and strategic acquisitions. It is expected
that Dakota's primary source of funds for its future activities will be its
operations. While Dakota does not currently anticipate utilizing the funds
available under its credit agreement for other than seasonal working capital
requirements, such funds may be used to augment operating cash flow. Pursuant
to Dakota's credit facility, it has a borrowing capacity of up to $ 25.0
million. As of June 30, 1999, $6.4 million had been drawn on the credit
agreement, $4.0 million at December 31, 1998 and $0 at December 31, 1997. The
credit facility will mature in 2008. Management expects Dakota's operating
activities will generate sufficient cash flows to repay the line of credit.

  Dakota has senior secured notes payable with a balance of $27.5 million at
June 30, 1999, and $28.5 million at December 31, 1998, of which $7.5 million
is due in varying semiannual installments through February 1, 2003

                                      88
<PAGE>

and $20.0 million is due semiannually from February 1, 2002 through August 1,
2008. These senior secured notes have interest rates of 7.39% and 6.97%,
respectively. The balance of senior notes at December 31, 1997 was
$10.5 million. Additionally, Dakota had a $5.0 million term loan outstanding
at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, which matures on February 1, 2004. The
interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 1.1%, which can be locked in for
short periods of time, typically 30 to 90 days. Management expects Dakota's
operating activities will generate sufficient cash flows to repay the senior
secured notes and term loan.

  Capital expenditures will be required primarily for Dakota's vendor and
cooler placements, automobile and truck fleet, and routine plant, bottling,
and equipment additions or maintenance. During the six months ended June 30,
1999, capital expenditures totaled $4.2 million. During the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, capital expenditures totaled $4.5 million and $5.4
million, respectively. Dakota anticipates that capital expenditures will be
$5.5 million in fiscal year 1999.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Dakota had a cash balance of $0.6 million and working capital of $5.3
million at June 30, 1999, compared to cash of $0.3 million and working capital
of $6.7 million at December 31, 1998. Working capital represents current
assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities
(excluding advances under the Credit Agreement and current maturities of long-
term debt and other liabilities).

  The $0.3 million increase in cash from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999
resulted from net cash provided by operations of $8.9 million less cash used
in investing activities of $4.7 million less cash used by financing activities
of $3.9 million. The cash provided by operations was net of a $0.5 million
increase in working capital. In the same period in 1998, cash decreased by
$4.5 million resulting from net cash provided by operations of $6.3 million
less cash used in investing activities of $3.5 million less cash used by
financing activities of $7.3 million.

  Cash used in investing activities of $4.7 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 represented a $1.2 million increase over the cash used in the
same period in 1998. The increase in cash used was primarily related to
increased capital expenditures and the March 1, 1999 purchase of S & R
Vending, a full-line vending company in Wahpeton, North Dakota.

  Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 1999 used $3.9 million
in net cash, which represented a $3.4 million decrease over the $7.3 million
in net cash used in the same period in 1998. This decrease in net cash used
resulted primarily from Credit Agreement advances of approximately $6.5
million less Credit Agreement payments of approximately $4.0 million.

  Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

  Dakota had cash of $0.3 million and working capital of $6.7 million at
December 31, 1998, compared to cash of $7.2 million and working capital of
$4.5 million at December 31, 1997. Working capital represents current assets
(excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities (excluding
advances under the credit agreement and current maturities of long-term debt
and other liabilities).

  The $6.9 million decrease in cash from December 31, 1997 to December 31,
1998 resulted from net cash provided by operations of $15.8 million less cash
used in investing activities of $4.5 million less cash used in financing
activities of $18.3 million during the year. The cash provided by operations
in 1998 was $2.9 million less than provided in 1997 due principally to changes
in working capital. In 1998, working capital increased $2.4 million and in
1997 increased by $0.1 million primarily due to changes in prepaid expenses
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

  Cash used in investing activities of $4.4 million in the year ended December
31, 1998 represented a $0.6 million decrease over the cash used in the same
period in 1997. The decrease in cash used was primarily related to decreased
capital expenditures.

                                      89
<PAGE>

  Financing activities in the year ended December 31, 1998 used $18.3 million
in net cash, which represented a $5.4 million increase over the $12.9 million
in net cash used in the same period in 1997. This increase in net cash used
resulted primarily from a notes receivable to the Pohlad Companies of $33.4
million netted against new senior notes of $20.0 million.

  Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

  The term "Year 2000" is used to describe general problems that may result
from improper processing of dates and date-sensitive calculations by computers
or other machinery as the year 2000 is approached and reached. This problem
stems from the fact that many of the world's computer hardware and software
applications have historically used only the last two digits to refer to a
year. As a result, many of these computer programs do not or will not properly
recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19." If not
corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results.

  The risks from this date change are both internal and external and can
potentially affect Dakota's production, distribution and administrative
systems and Dakota's customers, suppliers of raw materials, utilities and
distribution services. Year 2000 related problems could prevent customers from
accepting deliveries from Dakota or processing payments for amounts due to
Dakota. Suppliers may be prevented from producing and supplying goods or
services essential to Dakota's business.

  Dakota has completed the process of evaluating its IT systems for Year 2000
compliance. Dakota used the PepsiCo Year 2000 compliance plan as a framework
for the development and implementation of its Year 2000 compliance plan. In
addition to the evaluation of traditional IT assets, production equipment and
non-traditional IT equipment such as embedded chip assets have been evaluated.

  Dakota uses both outside and internally developed applications for data
processing software. Dakota's most critical applications are Year 2000
compliant at this time. Dakota must perform a few modifications to make some
of its less critical internally developed applications Year 2000 compliant.
These modifications and any other modifications should be completed by
September 30, 1999.

  Dakota does not expect the cost of becoming Year 2000 compliant to be
material to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
This is due, in part, to Dakota's recent significant upgrades to its data
communication network and key data processing hardware, all of which are Year
2000 compliant.

  Dakota recognizes that Year 2000 issues constitute a material known
uncertainty. Dakota also recognizes the importance of ensuring that Year 2000
issues will not adversely affect its operations. Dakota believes that the
processes described above will be effective to manage the risks associated
with the problem. However, there can be no assurance that the processes can be
completed on the timetable described above or that the remediation will be
fully effective. The failure to identify and remediate Year 2000 issues, or
the failure of key vendors, suppliers or other critical third parties who do
business with Dakota to timely remediate their Year 2000 issues could cause an
interruption in the business operations of Dakota. At this time, however,
Dakota does not posses information necessary to estimate the overall potential
impact of Year 2000 compliance issues.

  Dakota's most likely potential risk with regard to Year 2000 issues is the
temporary inability of suppliers to provide supplies of raw materials to
Dakota. The inability of Dakota's suppliers to be Year 2000 ready could result
in delays in product manufacturing and delivery, thereby adversely affecting
the business or operations of Dakota. Dakota believes, however, that in a
worst case scenario any disruption in supply materials can be minimized by
relying on inventories or shifting production to unaffected plants or
suppliers with some increased distribution costs.

  Dakota has reviewed with its major suppliers their Year 2000 plans and
indications are that they are, or will be, compliant in time for January 1,
2000. As for the supply of electricity, Dakota is in the process now of
obtaining an alternate source for back-up purposes.

                                      90
<PAGE>

  Dakota recognizes the need for Year 2000 contingency plans in the event that
Dakota's plan is not fully successful or that the efforts of its vendors and
suppliers are not timely completed. Dakota plans to address contingency
planning during calendar 1999. Such plans will include building inventories of
raw materials and finished goods in advance of January 1, 2000 to protect
against supply and production disruptions. To the extent that Dakota's vendors
and suppliers are unable to provide sufficient evidence of Year 2000 readiness
by September 30, 1999, Dakota will seek to arrange for their replacement.
Additionally, Dakota is developing manual processes to replace electronic
applications in the event of their failure.

  Inflation

  There was no significant impact on Dakota's operations as a result of
inflation during the six months ended June 30, 1999 or the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 or 1996.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

  Dakota uses financial instruments, including fixed and variable rate debt,
to finance operations, for capital expenditures and for general corporate
purposes. Dakota's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to short and long-term debt obligations and a note
receivable from Dakota's parent. Dakota does not use derivative financial
instruments or engage in trading activities. There were no significant changes
in Dakota's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates during the
six months ended June 30, 1999.

  The table below summarizes the principal cash flows of Dakota's financial
instruments outstanding at December 31, 1998, categorized by the type of
instrument and year of maturity.

                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Interests in the Acquisitions

  Certain members of PPR's management and PPR's Board of Directors have
interests in the acquisitions that are in addition to the interests of PPR
shareholders generally. In addition, Pohlad Companies currently holds 52.8%
voting power over PPR, 59.3% of Delta's voting common stock and 100% of
Dakota's stock. See "Approval of the Acquisitions -- Interests of Certain
Persons in the Acquisitions."

Change in Control

  In connection with the July 1998 change in control of PPR, PPR issued
warrants to P-PR Transfer, LLP and Suarez dated July 17, 1998 for the purchase
of 1,360,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock and 340,000 shares of PPR
Class B Common Stock, respectively, exercisable at $6.875 per share at any
time during a period of seven years and six months after the date of the
warrants. The warrants may be transferred and give the holders one demand and
unlimited piggyback registration rights.

  Also in connection with the change in control, six of PPR's seven directors
resigned on July 17, 1998. Effective July 18, 1998, the size of PPR's Board of
Directors was increased to eight members and seven new directors were
appointed, each of whom were designated by P-PR Transfer, LLP. Also effective
July 18, 1998, certain of PPR's officers resigned.

  P-PR Transfer, LLP is governed by an agreement that provides that the PPR
common stock owned by P-PR Transfer, LLP will be voted so that one member of
PPR's Board of Directors will be a person designated by BFSI. Pohlad Companies
has the right to designate and vote all of the other PPR common stock owned by
P-PR Transfer, LLP for all of the other members of PPR's Board of Directors,
subject to the rules of the NYSE requiring the election of two independent
directors.

Shareholders' Agreement

  PPR, P-PR Transfer, LLP and Suarez entered into a Shareholders' Agreement
dated as of August 5, 1998 (the "Shareholders' Agreement"). Under the
Shareholders' Agreement, Suarez has granted to Pohlad Companies the right to
vote 250,000 of the shares of PPR Class A Common Stock held by Suarez (or such
lesser number of shares as Suarez may own), so long as Pohlad Companies or an
affiliate owns directly or indirectly an equity interest in P-PR Transfer,
LLP. Pohlad Companies' right to vote such shares applies to all matters except
(a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of PPR and (b)
a plan of transactions, exchange or consolidation of PPR with another entity
in which transaction PPR is not the surviving entity.

  The Shareholders' Agreement includes an agreement by PPR to prepare and file
a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the 1,242,085
shares of PPR Class B Common Stock purchased by Suarez on July 17, 1998, and
to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective on or before January 31, 2000 and to remain effective until Suarez
no longer owns such shares of PPR Class B Common Stock or until Suarez is
eligible to sell all of its remaining shares of PPR Class B Common Stock in a
single transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act. The registration rights
include standard expense and indemnification provisions.

Franchise Arrangements

  PPR has entered into a master franchise commitment letter (the "Franchise
Commitment Letter") with PepsiCo with respect to the sale of PepsiCo soft
drink products in Puerto Rico. PPR has also entered into exclusive bottling
appointment agreements (each an "Exclusive Bottling Appointment" and
collectively, with the Franchise Commitment Letter, the "Franchise
Arrangements") for the relevant trademarks of Pepsi-Cola, Diet Pepsi-Cola,
Pepsi-Cola Free, Diet Pepsi-Cola Free, Lemon-Lime Slice, Diet Lemon-Lime
Slice, Mandarin Orange Slice, Diet Mandarin Orange Slice, Grape Slice, Teem,
Diet Teem, Wonder Kola and Mountain Dew. The Franchise Commitment Letter runs
concurrently with the Exclusive Bottling Appointments and will terminate in
the event of

                                      92
<PAGE>

the termination or expiration of the Exclusive Bottling Appointments. All of
the Franchise Arrangements have the provisions described below and were
renegotiated with the change in ownership control effective July 17, 1998. PPR
anticipates that the Franchise Arrangements will be superceded by the
agreements described in the "The Franchise Agreements."

  The Franchise Arrangements require PPR to purchase its entire requirements
of concentrates and syrups for all of the PepsiCo soft drink products from
certain affiliates of PepsiCo. Pursuant to the Franchise Commitment Agreement
between PPR and PepsiCo, PepsiCo charges PPR the actual price of a unit of
concentrate that is paid by bottlers for the same or similar concentrate in
the continental United States on an equivalent yield basis based upon the then
current domestic list price for each of the respective PepsiCo products.

  The Exclusive Bottling Appointments have ten-year terms expiring on July 17,
2008. Thereafter, each agreement is automatically renewed for additional five-
year terms unless either party gives written notice of its intention not to
renew the agreement at least 12 months prior to the date of expiration of the
term. PepsiCo may terminate the Franchise Arrangements if PPR fails to comply
in any material respect with the terms and conditions of the Franchise
Arrangements, subject to a right to cure in certain instances. In addition,
PepsiCo may terminate the Franchise Arrangements if there is a change of
effective control of PPR without PepsiCo's prior written consent.

PPR Management Agreement

  PPR entered into a management agreement with Pohlad Companies effective July
20, 1998 (the "PPR Management Agreement") under which the services of PPR's
Chief Executive Officer, Robert C. Pohlad, and Chief Financial Officer, John
F. Bierbaum, are provided to PPR. Robert C. Pohlad, PPR's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, is a director, President and Chief Executive Officer of

  The PPR Management Agreement provides that Pohlad Companies may devote as
much time to the management of PPR as Pohlad Companies deems necessary and
that Pohlad Companies may engage in any other businesses, including the
bottling and distribution of soft drinks.

  For services performed pursuant to the PPR Management Agreement, PPR pays
Pohlad Companies an annual fee of $250,000, which will escalate each year with
increases in PPR's gross revenue. Management fees of approximately $63,000 and
$50,000 were incurred in the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 and in
fiscal year 1998, respectively, under the PPR Management Agreement.

  The PPR Management Agreement may be terminated by either PPR or Pohlad
Companies at the end of ten years from the date of the PPR Management
Agreement. In addition, either party may terminate the PPR Management
Agreement when Pohlad Companies or its affiliates cease to hold PPR common
stock or when Pohlad

substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in any similar
capacity and retains voting powers of securities held in the trust or
foundation. Robert C. Pohlad and his brothers, James O. Pohlad and William M.
Pohlad, are all sons of Carl R. Pohlad, and the owners of all the equity
interest of Pohlad Companies. Either party may terminate the PPR Management
Agreement after ten years.

  The parties to the PPR Management Agreement expect that PPR will pay
directly the salaries and bonuses of certain of PPR's executive officers
following PPR's acquisition of Delta and Dakota. See "Approval of the
Acquisitions -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Acquisitions."

Accounting Services Agreement

  PPR entered into an Accounting Services Agreement with Delta effective July
20, 1998 (the "Accounting Services Agreement") which provides for Delta to
perform accounting and management information systems services for PPR. PPR
must pay Delta an annual fee for such services in an amount equal to the
aggregate costs and expenses incurred by Delta and allocated by Delta based on
case volume of PPR. Accounting services fees of approximately $94,000 and
$76,000 were incurred in the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 and in
fiscal year 1998, respectively, under the Accounting Services Agreement.
Either party may terminate the Accounting Services Agreement after ten years.
Robert C. Pohlad, PPR's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a director
and Chief Executive Officer of Delta. Pohlad Companies holds an equity
interest in Delta.

Delta Management Agreement

holding and management services company which has interests in several
entities, including Dakota, PPR, and Delta. Neither Robert C. Pohlad nor John
F. Bierbaum receives any compensation from Delta, except that John F. Bierbaum
participates in Delta's Phantom Stock Plan.

  Subject to any limitations imposed by Delta's Amended and Restated

                                      94
<PAGE>

  The Delta Management Agreement provides that Pohlad Companies may devote as
much time to the management of Delta as Pohlad Companies deems necessary and
that Pohlad Companies may engage in any other businesses, including the
bottling and distribution of soft drinks.

  For services performed pursuant to the Delta Management Agreement, Delta
pays Pohlad Companies a management fee and a transaction fee. The management
fee is paid monthly in advance at an annual rate equivalent to the greater of
$500,000, or $400,000 multiplied by the ratio of the CPI as of the year
preceding the date of computation to the CPI as of 1987. The transaction fee
is payable upon the acquisition of additional franchises and is equivalent to
1.5% of Delta's acquisition cost of such franchises. During 1998 and 1997,
Delta paid Pohlad Companies $550,000 and $551,000, respectively, in management
fees pursuant to the Delta Management Agreement.

  The Delta Management Agreement may be terminated by either Delta or Pohlad
Companies when Pohlad Companies or its affiliates cease to hold Delta common
stock or when Pohlad Companies is no longer controlled by members of the
Pohlad family. For purposes of the Delta Management Agreement, an "affiliate"
of Pohlad Companies means any person or entity controlling or controlled by or
under common control with Pohlad Companies, and "control" means the power to
direct the management and policies of Pohlad Companies, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise. For purposes of the Delta Management Agreement, members of the
Pohlad family means Carl R. Pohlad and his spouse, children, grandchildren,
sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, any corporation or partnership controlled by or
affiliated with any of the foregoing and any employees of such corporations or
partnerships, and any trust or foundation in which any of the foregoing has a
substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in any similar
capacity and retains voting powers of securities held in the trust or
foundation. Robert C. Pohlad and his brothers, James O. Pohlad and William M.
Pohlad, are all sons of Carl R. Pohlad, and the owners of all the equity
interest of Pohlad Companies.

  The parties to the Delta Management Agreement expect that the agreement will
be amended following PPR's acquisition of Delta and Dakota. See "Approval of
the Acquisitions -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Acquisitions."

Dakota Management Agreement

  The services of Dakota's Chief Executive Officer, Robert C. Pohlad, and
Chief Financial Officer, John F. Bierbaum, are provided to Dakota pursuant to
a management agreement between Dakota and Pohlad Companies (the "Dakota

  APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO PPR'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONTO INCREASE THE
                 NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK

  Currently, PPR is authorized to issue a total of 40,000,000 shares of
capital stock, including 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and
35,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

  As of August 31, 1999, 16,690,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock were
issued and outstanding and 3,779,167 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock were
reserved for issuance upon exercise of options and warrants. As discussed in
this document, PPR will be required to issue 65,070,006 shares of PPR Class B
Common Stock in connection with the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota.
Consequently, unless PPR's authorized capital stock is increased, PPR will
have insufficient shares to complete the acquisitions. PPR's Board of
Directors has determined that it is advisable to increase the number of
authorized shares of PPR capital stock to 150,000,000 from 40,000,000 and to
increase the number of shares of authorized PPR Class B Common Stock to
145,000,000 from 35,000,000.

  By action taken effective June 18, 1999, the Board approved the following
resolution, subject to approval by the shareholders at the Special Meeting.

  RESOLVED, that the first sentence of Article FOURTH of the Certificate of
  Incorporation of Pepsi-Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company shall be amended
  in its entirety to read as follows:

                                      96
<PAGE>

  FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the
  Corporation shall have authority to issue is One Hundred Fifty Million
  (150,000,000) shares, consisting of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of
  Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (herein called the "Class A
  Common Stock") and One Hundred Forty-Five Million (145,000,000) shares of
  Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (herein called the "Class B
  Common Stock").

  PPR's Board of Directors also believes that PPR would be unable to engage in
future equity financing or acquisitions without additional shares of PPR Class
B Common Stock. PPR's Board of Directors believes that the availability of
additional shares of PPR Class B Common Stock for issuance in the future would
give PPR enhanced flexibility and permit such shares to be issued without the
expense and delay of holding a meeting of its shareholders. The shares would
be available for issuance by PPR's Board of Directors without further
shareholder authorization, except as may be required by the NYSE or any other
quotation system or stock exchange on which PPR Class B Common Stock may be
listed. The shareholders of PPR do not have preemptive rights to purchase or
subscribe for any part of any new or additional issuance of PPR's securities.

  Other than the shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued in connection
with the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota and the grant of stock options to
employees and directors from time to time, there are at present no plans,
understandings, arrangements or agreements with respect to any transactions
that would require PPR to issue any new shares of PPR Class B Common Stock.

  Although not intended as anti-takeover device, issuing additional shares of
PPR Class B Common Stock could impede a non-negotiated acquisition of PPR by
diluting the ownership interests of a substantial shareholder, increasing the
total amount of consideration necessary for a person to obtain control of PPR
or increasing the voting power of friendly third parties.

  Approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase
the number of authorized shares of PPR capital stock and PPR Class B Common
Stock requires (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of PPR common stock present in person or represented by proxy voting
together and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of PPR Class B Common stock present in person or represented by proxy.
PPR's Board of Directors considers this amendment to be advisable and in the
best interests of PPR and its shareholders and recommends that shareholders
vote FOR approval of this amendment.

        APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO PPR'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
                   CHANGE PPR'S NAME TO PEPSIAMERICAS, INC.

  Following the acquisitions, PPR will operate within a broader geographic
scope. PPR believes that changing its name to PepsiAmericas, Inc. will more
accurately reflect its increased scope of operations. PPR's Board of Directors
has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a resolution to amend PPR's
Certificate of Incorporation to change its corporate name to PepsiAmericas,
Inc. PPR's Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders approve this
name change and adopt the following resolution at the Special Meeting.

  RESOLVED, that Article FIRST of the Certificate of Incorporation of Pepsi-
Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company shall be amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

  FIRST: The name of the corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation") is
PepsiAmericas, Inc.

  Approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change
PPR's name requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of PPR common stock present in person or represented by proxy voting
together and not by class. PPR's Board of Directors considers this amendment
to be advisable and in the best interests of PPR and its shareholders and
recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of this amendment.

                      ADOPTION OF 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN

General

  To provide PPR with the flexibility to issue stock options following the
acquisitions of Delta and Dakota, PPR's Board of Directors has adopted,
subject to shareholder approval, PPR's 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
PPR's Board of Directors has reserved 4,000,000 shares of PPR Class B Common
Stock for issuance under the Plan. A general description of the Plan is set
forth below, but such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Plan, a copy of which appears at Appendix D to this
document.

Description of the Plan

  Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term financial
interest of PPR and its subsidiaries by (a) attracting and retaining employees
and others providing services to PPR, (b) motivating such individuals, by
means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals, (c) providing
incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other
similar companies, and (d) conforming employees' interests with those of PPR's
shareholders through compensation based on PPR Class B Common Stock.

  Term. The Plan is unlimited in duration; however, no incentive stock options
("ISOs") may be granted under the Plan after September 3, 2009. Further, the
Plan may be terminated at any time, provided that such termination will not
adversely affect options then outstanding.

  Administration. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of
PPR's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee has authority and
discretion (a) to select from among eligible individuals those persons who
will receive awards, (b) to determine the time or times of receipt, (c) to
determine the types of awards and the number of shares covered by the awards,
(d) to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions and
other provisions of such awards, (e) to cancel or suspend awards, (f) to
interpret the Plan and (g) to delegate any of its powers to any member of the
Committee or to any other person. The Committee may establish, amend and
rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and make all other
determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of
the Plan. The Committee may also grant awards as alternatives to or
replacements of awards outstanding under the Plan or any other plan or
arrangement.

  Eligibility. All employees of PPR and its subsidiaries are eligible to
receive stock options (ISO or non-qualified) under the Plan. As of August 31,
1999, PPR and its subsidiaries had approximately 550 employees who were
eligible to receive awards under the Plan. Outside consultants or advisors to
PPR and its subsidiaries, as well as non-employee directors, are also eligible
to receive non-qualified options under the Plan.

  Options. When an option is granted under the Plan, the Committee, in its
discretion, specifies the exercise price, the type of option (ISO or non-
qualified) to be granted, and the number of shares which may be purchased upon
exercise of the option. The exercise price of an ISO may not be less than 100%
of the fair market value of one share of PPR Class B Common Stock on the date
of grant. Any ISO granted to a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding PPR
Class B Common Stock must be at an exercise price of at least 110% of fair
market value. On August 31, 1999, the closing price of PPR Class B Common
Stock as reported by the NYSE was $5.6875 per share. No individual may receive
an option grant to purchase more than 250,000 shares in any year, except that
this limit shall not apply to an employee in the fiscal year in which his or
her service as an employee first commences.

  The term during which an option may be exercised and whether an option will
be exercisable immediately, in stages or otherwise are set by the Committee,
but the term of any ISO may not exceed ten years from the date of grant.
Optionees may pay for shares upon exercise of options with cash, cashier's
check, PPR Class B Common Stock valued at the stock's then fair market value,
or a combination of these methods. Each option granted under the Plan is
nontransferable during the life of the optionee.

  The Committee will determine the form of stock option agreements which will
be used for stock options granted under the Plan. Such agreements will govern
the right of an optionee to exercise an option upon termination of employment
during the life of an optionee and following an optionee's death. The
Committee may

                                      98
<PAGE>

impose additional or alternative conditions and restrictions on ISOs or non-
qualified stock options granted under the Plan; however, each ISO must contain
such limitations and restrictions upon its exercise as are necessary to ensure
that the option will be an ISO as defined under the Internal Revenue Code.

  Change in Control. Upon a change in control (as defined in the Plan), an
award will become fully exercisable as to all shares subject to such award if
such award is not assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent and the
surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute such award with
another award of substantially the same terms.

  Amendment. The Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time.
However, the Committee may not, without shareholder approval, increase the
number of shares of PPR Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance under the
Plan.

  Antidilution Provisions. In the event of a corporate transaction involving
PPR, including without limitation any stock dividend, stock split,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, the
Committee may adjust awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of
the awards. Actions by the Committee may include (a) adjustment of the number
and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan, (b) adjustment of
the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, (c) adjustment of
the exercise price of outstanding options, and (d) any other adjustments that
the Committee determines to be equitable.

  Automatic Option Grants to Outside Directors. At the conclusion of each
regular annual meeting of PPR shareholders after this Plan is effective, each
non-employee director (excepting Robert Pohlad and Michael White) shall
receive a non-qualified option for 1,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock at
the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is issued. Such
option is immediately fully vested. It must be exercised within three months
of termination of PPR service or, in the case of death or disability, within
one year of the termination of such service. In no event may it be exercised
later than ten years from the grant date.

Tax Information

  An optionee will not incur any federal income tax liability as a result of
the grant of a stock option. The same is true when any option becomes
exercisable.

  If an option not be qualified for tax purposes as an ISO, upon exercise, the
optionee will generally recognize ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of
the shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price. The income
recognized by the optionee will be subject to tax withholding by PPR, and PPR
will be entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the amount of
ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Upon resale of such shares by the
optionee, any difference between the sale price and the fair market value of
the shares at the time the option was exercised will be treated as capital
gain or loss.

  Generally, an optionee will not incur federal income tax liability as the
result of an exercise of an ISO. However, except in the case of death or
disability, if an ISO is exercised more than three months after an optionee's
termination of employment (a "disqualifying exercise"), the optionee will
recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the
fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise
price. For purposes of calculating an optionee's alternative minimum tax, if
any, the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time
the stock option is exercised and the exercise price becomes an item of
adjustment. When the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO are sold, the
optionee will be taxed on the difference between the sale price and the
exercise price. If such a sale does not occur within two years of the date the
ISO was granted or within one year of the date it was exercised, then the
gain, if any, will be treated as long-term capital gain. If such a sale occurs
within either of the time periods specified in the preceding sentence, a
disqualifying disposition, then the portion of the optionee's gain equal to
the difference between the fair market value of the stock on the date of
exercise (or, if less, the selling price) and the exercise price will be
treated as

                                      99
<PAGE>

ordinary compensation income, while the balance of any gain would be treated
as capital gain. PPR is generally not entitled to a deduction as the result of
the grant or exercise of an ISO. However, if the optionee recognizes ordinary
income as the result of a disqualifying exercise or disposition, PPR is
entitled to a deduction in an equivalent amount in the taxable year of PPR in
which the disqualifying event occurs.

  The foregoing is only a summary of the general effect of U.S. federal income
taxation upon the optionee and PPR with respect to the grant and exercise of
options under the Plan and the subsequent sale of such shares. This summary
does not discuss the income tax laws of any state or foreign country in which
an optionee may be employed or reside.

New Plan Benefits

  The following table indicates the options to be issued under the Plan in
connection with the acquisitions of Delta and Dakota to the persons and groups
listed in the table as of September 3, 1999. Options are being issued to the
executive group, the non-executive officer employee group and one non-
executive director in consideration of the cancellation of rights previously
granted under phantom stock plans of Delta and Dakota.

    such awards under the Plan.

Vote Required

  Approval of the Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of PPR common stock present in person or represented by
proxy voting together and not by class. PPR's Board of Directors considers the
Plan to be advisable and in the best interests of PPR and its shareholders and
recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of the Plan.

(1) On October 15, 1996, PPR granted Rafael Nin an option to purchase
    1,516,667 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00
    per share. This option may be exercised in whole or in part and is
    unlimited in duration until exercised in full.
(2) This value represents the difference between the market value of the
    1,516,667 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock and the exercise price of the
    option on December 31, 1998. On December 31, 1998, the market value of
    1,516,667 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock was $7,867,710, which is the
    product of 1,516,667 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock and $5.1875, the
    last reported sale price of such shares on the NYSE on December 31, 1998.
    The exercise price of the option is $7,583,335, which is the product of
    1,516,667 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock and the exercise price of
    $5.00 per share.

Employment Agreement

  On June 11, 1996, PPR entered into an employment agreement with Rafael Nin
providing for an annual base salary of $300,000, subject to yearly review, as
well as a year-end bonus of 50% of the annual salary, predicated on the
satisfactory completion of established and agreed-upon objectives. PPR also
agreed to give Mr. Nin a management stock dividend from BEV of $100,000
annually, payable in four quarterly installments of $25,000. Under the
employment agreement, Mr. Nin was also entitled to receive other benefits
including an automobile with all operating expenses paid, and health and life
insurance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, Mr. Nin did not
receive any bonus, and his compensation reflected a voluntary salary reduction
as of April 1, 1997. Mr. Nin's employment was terminated on in July 1998 in
connection with the change in control of PPR.

Stock Option Plans

  PPR has established two stock option plans for the granting of stock options
to purchase shares of PPR Class B Common Stock to certain employees and
directors of PPR and its affiliates ("Key Employees") who have served in such
capacities for at least one year prior to the date Options are granted. One
stock option plan (the "1996 Qualified Stock Option Plan") permits the grant
of ISOs under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The other stock option
plan does not permit the grant of ISOs (the "1996 Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan"). The purposes of the stock option plans are to attract and retain
individuals of experience and ability, as well as to motivate such persons to
exert their best efforts on behalf of PPR.


                                      102
<PAGE>

  Key Employees of PPR and its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to
participate under the stock option plans, as deemed appropriate by PPR's Board
of Directors. However, the stock option plans do not permit the granting of
Options to employees or directors prior to their being employed by or serving
as director, for one year. The stock option plans are administered by PPR's
Board of Directors. PPR's Board of Directors has appointed the Committee to
assist in the management and administration of the stock option plans. The
Committee may recommend to PPR's Board of Directors any action to be taken
under the stock option plans but does not have any decision-making authority.

  The total number of shares of PPR Class B Common Stock reserved and
available for issuance under each of the stock option plans in connection with
grants of Options is 500,000, subject to adjustment in the case of any change
in the outstanding shares of PPR Class B Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or exchange of such shares. No Option
is transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
each Option is exercisable during the Option holder's lifetime only by the
Option holder.

  The Options granted pursuant to PPR's 1996 Qualified Stock Option Plan will
have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the shares of PPR Class
B Common Stock at the date of grant. The "fair market value" of the shares of
PPR Class B Common Stock is the mean of the sales price for such shares on the
NYSE at the close of business on the date of grant of the relevant Option.
Pursuant to the 1996 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, under certain
circumstances PPR may grant options at an exercise price below fair market
value. An Option holder is able to exercise Options from time to time as
specified in the grantee's individual Option agreement. Options must be
exercised during the grantee's employment with PPR, except that (i) upon an
Option holder's death, total disability or retirement, all vested Options
immediately become exercisable and may be exercised until the expiration of
such Options and (ii) upon voluntary resignation or termination of an Option
holder's employment without cause, vested Options are exercisable for a period
of 30 days following the date of resignation or termination. Upon the
occurrence of an event specified in (i) and (ii) above, all unvested Options
held by an Option holder will automatically expire and terminate. Subject to
the foregoing, PPR's Board of Directors will have the sole discretion to
determine the timing, amount, vesting and exercise periods of any Options
granted pursuant to the stock option plan and the manner in which such options
are exercised.

               SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2000 ANNUAL MEETING

  If a shareholder of PPR wishes to present a proposal for consideration for
inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
the proposal must be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and
must be received at the executive offices of PPR, Carretera 865, Km. 0.4,
Barrio Candelaria Arenas, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico 00949, Attn: Secretary, no
later than September 21, 1999. All proposals must conform to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. Under SEC rules, if a shareholder notifies PPR after
December 5, 1999 of his or her intent to present a proposal for consideration
at the 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, PPR, acting through the persons
named as proxies in the proxy materials for such meeting, may exercise
discretionary authority with respect to such proposal without including
information regarding such proposal in its proxy materials.

                        INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

  PPR's Board of Directors has appointed Arthur Andersen LLP as independent
public accountants for PPR for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.
Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP are expected to be present at the
Special Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire
to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from
shareholders in attendance.

                   Report Of Independent Public Accountants

To Pepsi-Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pepsi-Cola
Puerto Rico Bottling Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and
September 30, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss),
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended December 31,
1998 and the year ended September 30, 1998. 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 audits.

  We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Pepsi-Cola Puerto Rico
Bottling Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and September 30,
1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended September 30, 1998 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

           PEPSI-COLA PUERTO RICO BOTTLING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              (U.S. Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

  Pepsi-Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company ("PCPRB") and its manufacturing and
distribution subsidiaries bottle, sell and distribute beverages sold primarily
under the Pepsi-Cola trademark in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The
Company's division of Cristalia Premium Water ("Cristalia") is engaged in
extracting, processing, bottling and distributing bottled water in Puerto
Rico. Beverage Plastics Company ("BEV"), a wholly owned subsidiary,
manufactures plastic preforms and plastic bottles in Puerto Rico, primarily
for use by the Company. All of the companies operate under exclusive bottling
appointments and franchise agreements with the franchiser, which include
operating and marketing commitments, term limitations and extensions, and
conditions for termination. The Pepsi-Cola exclusive bottling appointments
have ten-year terms expiring on July 17, 2008. Each of the exclusive bottling
appointments will automatically be extended for additional five-year terms
unless either party gives one year's written notice.

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCPRB and its
wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of
September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company maintained an effective equity
interest in Buenos Aires Embotelladora S. A. ("BAESA") of approximately 17%,
which was accounted for using the equity method until such investment was
reduced to zero in fiscal year 1996. Effective June 17, 1998, the Company's
remaining ownership in BAESA was transferred to the Company's existing
shareholders (refer to Note 11).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents include temporary investments in short-term
securities, primarily discount notes, with original maturities of three months
or less.

Income Taxes

  The Company uses the liability method of accounting for deferred income
taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the estimated future tax consequences
attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and temporary
differences between the Company's assets and liabilities for financial
reporting and income tax purposes, using income tax rates currently in effect.
Deferred tax assets are recognized if management believes, based on available
evidence, that it is "more likely than not" that the future income tax
benefits will be realized.

  Deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified based upon the current or
long-term classification of the asset or liability giving rise to the
temporary difference or the expected future use of the loss or credit
carryforward.

Earnings Per Share

  The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
128, "Earnings Per Share." Accordingly, the Company's net loss per

                                      F-8
<PAGE>

           PEPSI-COLA PUERTO RICO BOTTLING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
              (U.S. Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Net loss per common share--assuming
dilution does not include the Company's potentially dilutive securities (refer
to Note 17) because to do so would be antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

  Stock options and other stock-based compensation awards are accounted for
using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
related interpretations.

Environmental Remediation Costs

  Costs associated with environmental remediation obligations are accrued when
such costs are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are adjusted
as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of future
expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to
their present value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

  Trade receivables subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk as
substantially all of the Company's customers are located in Puerto Rico and
two customers accounted for approximately 14%, 16%, 20% and 22% of the
Company's net sales during the three month period ended December 31, 1998 and
the fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. However, the Company's
customer base is comprised of a large number of entities and the Company
performs background checks and other reviews before extending credit to
potential customers. In addition, the Company establishes allowances for
doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific
customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes there
are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual party or
groups of parties.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

  The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments approximate
their carrying values.

Reclassifications

  Certain fiscal year 1998, 1997 and 1996 balances have been reclassified to
conform to the December 31, 1998 presentation.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  Effective October 1, 1998 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits"
which required, among other items, additional disclosures on changes in the
Company's pension benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets (refer to
Note 16).

4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

  During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1998, a restructuring charge of
$1,728 was established under a plan to improve the Company's performance. The
charge included approximately $679 of severance and related charges for the
elimination of 17 administrative personnel, $224 of accruals for future
payments to exit activities, including canceling lease agreements, and $825 of
asset write-downs related to the elimination of certain product lines and
exiting certain other business strategies. Management anticipates the
restructuring plan will provide annual savings of approximately $1,300 to
$1,400 beginning in 1999. Severance payments in the three month period ended
December 31, 1998 and in fiscal year 1998 totaled approximately $409 and $47,
respectively, while payments relating to other exit activities approximated
$116 and $108, respectively.

5. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

  In fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of." This statement addresses the timing of recognition and the
measurement of impairment of (a) long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and (b)
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. This
statement requires that such assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be
recoverable, and that such assets be reported at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value.

  During fiscal year 1996, the Company consolidated its manufacturing
activities into a new manufacturing facility. Based upon a 1996 appraisal of
the former facility, the Company recorded a noncash charge of $1,400; $800 for
the impairment of the manufacturing plant no longer in operation and being
held for sale, and $600 for certain manufacturing equipment and furniture no
longer in use. During fiscal year 1998, the Company recorded a noncash charge
of $800 for the additional impairment of the idle manufacturing plant held for
sale. This charge represented management's best estimate of an anticipated
loss from the disposition of the plant in a current transaction between
willing parties. The resulting carrying value of the manufacturing plant is
consistent with a 1998 appraisal on the facility obtained during the three
months ended December 31, 1998.

  The Company has agreed to sell substantially all net assets relating to the
bottling, sale and distribution of potable water under the "Cristalia"
tradename to Cristalia Acquisition Corp., a corporation whose president is a
former officer of the Company. The sales price is based upon the net book
value of the net assets of the business as of December 31, 1998, and resulted
in a charge of $250 for the impairment of the net assets. The noncash charge
was recorded in the three month period ended December 31, 1998 as a write-down
of Cristalia's long-lived assets and is reflected as an asset impairment loss
in the accompanying consolidated statement of income (loss).

6. INSURANCE PROCEEDS FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION AND OTHER LOSSES

  For the period from September 22, 1998 through October 21, 1998, the Company
incurred business interruption losses resulting from Hurricane Georges. In the
opinion of management and pursuant to a preliminary review by the insurer,
collection of a claim filed under the Company's business interruption
insurance policy is probable. As a result, included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income (loss) are anticipated recoveries of $346
for the three month period ended December 31, 1998 and $1,309 for fiscal year
1998 attributable to business interruption and other losses.

9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

  Goodwill, the cost in excess of the assigned value of businesses acquired,
is being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life not
to exceed 40 years. Other intangibles are amortized using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets consisted of the
following:

  The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its intangible
assets as well as their amortization periods to determine whether an
adjustment to the carrying value or a revision to the estimated useful lives
is appropriate. The Company recorded a noncash charge of approximately $600 in
fiscal year 1996 in order to write off intangible assets.

11. INVESTMENT IN BAESA

  As of September 30, 1997, the Company owned 12,345,348 shares, or
approximately 17%, of the outstanding capital stock of BAESA. In May 1997, the
Buenos Aires Stock Exchange suspended trading of BAESA's Class B shares after
its fiscal second quarter results for the period ended March 31, 1997 showed a
negative net worth under Argentine Accounting Principles. The New York Stock
Exchange also halted trading in BAESA's American Depository Shares.

  During fiscal year 1998, BAESA entered into a long-term financial
restructuring plan with its major debt holders in Argentina whereby BAESA's
unsecured lenders exchanged debt for substantially all of the equity in BAESA.
The Company did not exercise its right under a related rights offering to
retain its current proportionate

from approximately 17% to approximately 0.34%. Effective June 17, 1998, the
Company's remaining ownership in BAESA was transferred to the Company's
existing shareholders. The Company's recorded investment in BAESA had already
been reduced to zero in fiscal year 1996.

12. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK AND LONG-TERM DEBT

  The Company maintains a credit agreement with Banco Popular which provides
for a term loan of $25,000, payable with 120 principal payments and a balloon
payment at maturity on April 1, 2007 of $11,800. The term loan is
collateralized with a priority lien on substantially all of the Company's real
estate, machinery and equipment, receivables and inventory. The Company is
also required to maintain a specified cash balance with the bank ($5,000 at
December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, and $2,500 at September 30, 1997)
which is restricted from use by the Company.

  The credit agreement also includes a $5,000 revolving credit facility, with
borrowings limited to the sum of stipulated percentages of the Company's
eligible receivables and inventory. There were no borrowings outstanding under
the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 1998 or September 30, 1998,
while it was fully drawn at September 30, 1997.

  The term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at 2.5% over the
LIBOR rate, if Eurodollar funds are available, otherwise at the highest prime
rate or base rate of interest published from time to time in the Wall Street
Journal by principal commercial banks headquartered in New York, NY. The
credit agreement contains various covenants and events of default, including
the maintenance of certain minimum financial ratios and financial requirements
and additional debt restrictions.

  Long-term debt consisted of the following:

13. INCOME TAXES:

  PCPRB and its subsidiaries are Delaware corporations subject to U.S. federal
income taxes; however, PCPRB's subsidiaries are eligible for and have elected
the benefit of Section 936 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Section 936
presently allows a tax credit equal to a portion of the amount of U.S. income
taxes attributable to earnings derived from operations within Puerto Rico and
to certain qualified investments maintained in Puerto Rico, subject to certain
limitations. PCPRB's subsidiaries have elected to claim the credit under the
Economic Activity Limitation method. The 1996 Small Business Act (the "Act")
repealed the Section 936 credit prospectively. However, the Act grandfathered
in "existing credit claimants" during a ten-year transition period. The credit
under the Economic Activity Limitation for Puerto Rico will be calculated
under the rules existing prior to the adoption of the Act for taxable years
beginning after 1995 and before 2002. For taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2001, a cap is placed upon the Puerto Rican source business
income eligible for the credit. For tax years beginning after January 1, 2006,
the economic activity credit is repealed in its entirety.

  In order to utilize income tax credits available under Section 936, each
subsidiary is required to derive at least 80% of its gross income from sources
within Puerto Rico, and at least 75% of gross income must be from an active
trade or business in Puerto Rico. PCPRB's subsidiaries were in compliance with
these gross income requirements for the three months ended December 31, 1998
and the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

  Effective October 1998, the Company was granted an additional ten-year
Puerto Rican tax incentives exemption for its plastic preforms manufacturing
and sales operation. Under the terms of the grant, BEV received a 90%
exemption from Puerto Rico income tax, a 60% exemption from municipal tax and
a 90% exemption from property tax. In exchange for these tax exemptions, the
Company agreed to manufacture plastic preforms and plastic bottles, employ a
minimum number of persons and maintain equipment and facilities in Puerto
Rico.

</TABLE>

  The subsequent recognition of tax benefits related to the valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1998 and September 30,
1998 and 1997 will be allocated to income from continuing operations.

  At December 31, 1998, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss
carryforwards approximating $54,200 which expire through 2019, and Puerto Rico
tax net operating loss carryforwards approximating $76,300 which expire
through 2006. As a result of the change in control transaction in fiscal year
1998 (refer to Note 15), the Company's utilization of its U.S. federal net
operating loss carryforwards is limited annually. Realization of all of these
future income tax benefits is dependent on the existence of future taxable
income. Valuation allowances covering substantially all of the Company's net
operating loss carryforwards have been provided as the Company does not
believe it is "more likely than not" that the future income tax benefits will
be realized.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  In fiscal year 1998, the Company entered into a management agreement with
the controlling partner in P-PR Transfer, LLP (refer to Note 15). For services
performed pursuant to the management agreement, the Company

                                     F-16

           PEPSI-COLA PUERTO RICO BOTTLING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
              (U.S. Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
pays that company a management fee. Management fees of approximately $63 and
$50 were incurred in the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 and in
fiscal year 1998, respectively.

  Also in fiscal year 1998, the Company entered into an accounting services
agreement with a separate entity in which the same controlling partner in P-PR
Transfer, LLP maintains a controlling interest. For services performed
pursuant to the accounting services agreement, the Company pays this affiliate
an accounting services fee. Accounting services fees of approximately $94 and
$76 were incurred with this affiliate in the three-month period ended December
31, 1998 and in fiscal year 1998, respectively. During the three months ended
December 31, 1998, the Company purchased approximately $5,411 of beverage
product from this affiliate at cost, and as of December 31, 1998, had a
liability to this affiliate of approximately $255.

  During the three months ended December 31, 1998 and in fiscal years 1998,
1997 and 1996 the Company paid approximately $175, $744, $3,671 and $2,105,
respectively, in advertising fees to a firm controlled by a former shareholder
of the Company.

  During the three months ended December 31, 1998 and in fiscal years 1998,
1997 and 1996 the Company paid approximately $16, $241, $411 and $57,
respectively, in legal fees to a firm with a partner who is a relative of the
Company's former president.

  Certain former members of the Company's Board of Directors and certain of
its former executive officers were also directors and/or officers of BAESA
until approximately mid-1996. During fiscal year 1996, BAESA charged PCPRB
management fees totaling approximately $888. In addition, PCPRB sold $2,235 in
preforms to BAESA pursuant to a long-term supply contract. In management's
opinion, the terms of this contract were reasonable, and at the time of the
contract no other comparable contract from an outside party was available to
BAESA. The above described contract was terminated during the year ended
September 30, 1997. Pursuant to the termination agreement, Company obligations
to BAESA of approximately $2,065 were settled for a cash payment of $50. In
addition, the Company was relieved of obligations relating to certain
operating leases. The resulting gain on early termination of the supply
agreement was recorded in fiscal year 1996.

  During fiscal year 1996, the Company paid approximately $151 in construction
management fees to a former shareholder and director of the Company.

  During fiscal year 1996, the Company paid approximately $232 in consulting
fees to a former shareholder of BAESA and a former director of the Company.

15. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

  Pursuant to the terms of a ten-year voting trust agreement and related stock
option agreement executed on September 28, 1996, the 5,000,000 authorized and
outstanding Class A shares were placed into a voting trust. The then trustee
of the trust was the president of the Company, who held an unrestricted right
to vote such shares and had the right to purchase such shares, for the benefit
of the Company, through September 28, 1998 at $1 per share. In a transfer
agreement (the "Agreement") effective July 17, 1998, the president assigned to
P-PR Transfer, LLP (the "Partnership") the stock option agreement for the
purchase of the Class A shares. The Partnership paid the Company $23,750 under
the Agreement and simultaneously purchased the 5,000,000 Class A shares for $1
per share. Payments by the Partnership to the Company pursuant to the
Agreement are recorded as additional shareholders' equity, net of
approximately $1,599 in equity issuance costs.

  Also effective July 17, 1998, the Partnership purchased a total of 6,210,429
Class B shares under stock option agreements between the Partnership and the
Class B shareholders. V. Suarez & Co., Inc. ("Suarez") then purchased
1,000,000 Class A shares and 1,242,085 Class B shares from the Partnership.
The combination of these transactions resulted in a change in control of the
Company.

  On July 17, 1998, the Company issued a warrant to the Partnership and Suarez
for the purchase of an additional 1,360,000 and 340,000 Class B shares,
respectively, for $6.875 per share, exercisable at any time during the 90
month period from the date of the warrant.

  The Class A shares have a six-to-one voting preference over the Class B
shares.

16. PENSION PLANS

  The Company maintains separate non-contributory salaried and hourly defined
benefit pension plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees of the
Company. Benefits under the salaried plan are based upon years of service and
average earnings during the last five years of employment, while benefits
under the hourly plan represent a fixed amount times years of credited
service. The Company makes annual contributions to the plans as required by
applicable regulations. Contributions provide benefits for service rendered to
date and for services expected to be performed in the future. The plans are
insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. On April 16, 1997, the
Company suspended future participation in the plans for an indeterminable
period. As a result, the projected benefit obligation is equal to the
accumulated benefit obligation for each plan. At present management does not
intend to terminate the plans.

  The Company recognizes a minimum pension liability, computed as the excess
of the accumulated benefit obligation over the fair value of plan assets, with
an adjustment to shareholders' equity.

17. STOCK OPTION PLANS:

  In fiscal year 1997, the Company adopted two stock option plans (the
"plans") pursuant to which the Company's Board of Directors may grant stock
options to certain employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates
who have served in such capacities for at least one year prior to the date the
options are granted. The plans authorize grants of options to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued Class B common stock. At December
31, 1998, there were 247,500 shares available for grant under these plans. One
of these stock option plans is designed to be qualified for income tax
purposes, whereas the other is not a qualified plan.

  Stock options under the qualified plan are granted with an exercise price
equal to the stock's fair market value at the date of the grant. Stock options
under the nonqualified plan may have an exercise price below the stock's fair
market value at the date of grant ("below market options"). In accordance with
APB Opinion No. 25, deferred compensation is recorded to reflect any
difference between the exercise price and market value of shares granted under
the nonqualified plan for below market options, and is expensed over the
vesting period of the options. During the three months ended December 31,
1998, the Company granted below market options to acquire 452,500 shares of
the Company's Class B stock, which vest over five years. Accordingly, deferred
compensation expense of $50 was recorded related to this grant. All stock
options vest and become fully exercisable in accordance with the terms of
their grant.

  In fiscal year 1997, the Company entered into a stock option agreement with
its former president to acquire 1,516,667 Class B common shares of the Company
at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. These stock options will be
exercisable in whole or in part until exercised in full.

  The Company accounts for these plans using the intrinsic value method. Had
compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and net
loss per common share would have been reduced to the following pro forma
amounts:

  The effect on pro forma net loss and net loss per common share of expensing
the estimated fair value of stock options is not necessarily representative of
the effect on reported earnings in future years due to the vesting period of
stock options and the potential for issuance of additional stock options in
future years.

  The weighted average fair value of options granted for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 and in fiscal years 1998 and 1997 were $3.06, $4.91
and $3.52, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions:

 Legal and Environmental Reserve

  In fiscal year 1998, the Company recorded a provision of $760 to increase
its legal and environmental reserves, principally to remove four underground
storage tanks and remediate soil contamination at the former manufacturing
facility, to settle two outstanding supplier claims and to establish legal
reserves for various litigation, claims and assessments. All payments related
to this reserve are expected to be made within one year.

 Settlement of Litigation

  The Company was formerly a defendant in nine class actions alleging federal
securities violations by the Company and various former officers and directors
of the Company. These claims were settled as of September 30, 1997. The
Company has recorded the cost of the settlement in fiscal year 1997 as
follows:

      Cost of 2,500,000 Class B shares effectively contributed by the
       founding shareholders, valued using the average trading price
       of the stock for a period of trade dates prior to the date of
       the settlement................................................  $ 13,172

</TABLE>

  As a part of the settlement, the Company was reimbursed $4,000 from its
directors liability insurers, $2,500 of which were deemed a reimbursement of
amounts paid to claimants, with the remainder offset against legal expenses
incurred in connection with the settlement. The contribution of the 2,500,000
Class B shares by the founding shareholders was reflected as a contribution of
capital using the average trading price of the stock referred to above.

  In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") was
pursuing a formal order of investigation in connection with accounting
irregularities discovered in fiscal year 1996. In fiscal year 1998, the
Company settled the Commission's charges with an agreement to cease and desist
from committing any violation or future violation of specified securities
laws. The Company was not required to pay any fines or penalties associated
with this settlement.

 General Litigation

  The Company is subject to various litigation, claims and assessments arising
in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate
resolution of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not
have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

19. CHANGE IN YEAR-END

  Effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from
September 30 to December 31. As a result, the Company will hereafter report
its results on a calendar year basis. Summarized financial information for the
three months ended December 31 is as follows:

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pepsi-Cola
Puerto Rico Bottling Company and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) which are
considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of June 30, 1999, and for all interim periods
presented. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of
the financial information and disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements, and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
related notes thereto for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Also, the
results of operations for the interim periods presented may not be indicative
of the results for the entire year.

2. RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

3. COMBINATION OF INTERESTS

  On June 28, 1999, the Company entered into share exchange agreements with
the shareholders of two related party entities, Delta Beverage Group, Inc.
("Delta") and Dakota Beverage Company, Inc. ("Dakota"). The Company, Delta and
Dakota share common ownership and are under the common control of Pohlad
Companies, the principal partner in P-PR Transfer, LLP. Accordingly, the
combination will be accounted for as a merger of entities under common
control. The combination is subject to the approval of the Company's
shareholders.

  During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company incurred
approximately $1,120 in professional fees and other related costs related to
the combination of interests. Costs of approximately $692 attributable to
combining the common equity interests of the Company, Delta and Dakota have
been expensed, while remaining costs of approximately $428 attributable to the
acquisition of Delta's minority interests under the "purchase" method of
accounting have been capitalized as other long-term assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.

4. SALE OF BUSINESS

  During the three months ended December 31, 1998, the Company agreed to sell
substantially all net assets relating to the bottling, sale and distribution
of potable water under the "Cristalia" tradename to Cristalia Acquisition
Corp. (the "purchaser"), and recorded a $250 non-cash charge for the estimated
impairment of the net assets. The non-cash charge was reflected as a writedown
of Cristalia's long-lived assets in the December 31, 1998 consolidated balance
sheet.

  The sale was finalized in April 1999 and resulted in an additional
impairment charge of $267. This charge was recorded during the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The sales price of $1,200 consisted of $700 cash and a
$500 note receivable due in four annual installments beginning March 31, 2000.
The note receivable bears interest at the Treasury Rate, as defined
(approximately 6% as of June 30, 1999), and is unsecured. Current installments
on the note receivable of approximately $121 are included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

  The Company maintains a credit agreement with Banco Popular which provides
for a term loan of $25,000, payable with 120 principal payments and a balloon
payment at maturity on April 1, 2007 of $11,800. The credit agreement also
includes a $5,000 revolving credit facility. There were no borrowings
outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 1999 or
December 31, 1998. In connection with the sale of the business described in
Note 4, the Company made an additional $650 principal payment on outstanding
long-term debt.

6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

  In July 1998, a restructuring charge of $1,728 was established under a plan
to improve the Company's performance. The charge included approximately $679
of severance and related charges, $224 of accruals for future payments to exit
activities, including canceling lease agreements, and $825 of asset writedowns
related to the elimination of certain product lines and exiting certain other
business strategies. During 1998, severance payments and payments relating to
other exit activities approximated $456 and $224, respectively. Severance
payments during the six month period ended June 30, 1999 approximated $171.

7. INVENTORIES:

</TABLE>

8. INSURANCE PROCEEDS FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION LOSSES

  In 1998, the Company incurred business interruption and other losses
resulting from Hurricane Georges. As the collection of a claim filed under the
Company's business interruption insurance policy was probable, the Company
recorded $1,655 in anticipated recoveries attributable to business
interruption and other losses. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
Company collected the anticipated amount of insurance recoveries.

9. STOCK OPTION PLANS

  The Company maintains two stock option plans pursuant to which the Company's
Board of Directors may grant stock options to certain employees and directors
of the Company and its affiliates. One of these stock option plans is not a
qualified plan. Stock options under this plan may have an exercise price below
the stock's fair market value at the date of grant ("below market options").
In accordance with the APB Opinion No. 25, deferred compensation is recorded
to reflect any difference between the exercise price and market value of
shares granted under the plan for below market options, and is expensed over
the vesting period of the options. In 1998, the Company granted below market
options to acquire 452,500 shares of the Company's Class B stock, which vest
over five years. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, deferred
compensation expense of $51 was recorded related to this grant.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

  The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." Accordingly, the Company's net loss per common share is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Net loss per common share-assuming dilution does not
include the Company's potentially dilutive securities because to do so would
be antidilutive.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

  On July 30, 1999, the Company entered into a contract rights release
agreement with Seven-UP/RC Bottling Company of Puerto Rico, Inc ("Seven-UP")
pursuant to which Seven-UP released its exclusive rights for the production
and distribution of the "Seven-UP," "Sunkist," "Welch's" and "Schweppes"
brands in Puerto Rico. The purchase price consisted of $12,000 cash. The
Company obtained such releases as a precondition to its entry into franchise
agreements with each respective franchisor. On July 30, 1999, the Company
amended their note with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico to $40,000. The
additional increase was used to fund the Seven-UP acquisition.

                   Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Delta Beverage Group, Inc.:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta
Beverage Group, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 1998. 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 audits.

  We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Beverage Group, Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

  Delta Beverage Group, Inc. ("Delta") and the partnership described below
(collectively, the "Company") bottle and distribute beverage products,
principally Pepsi-Cola and Seven-Up products, in the mid-southern United
States. The franchise territories cover portions of Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. The partnership also distributes alcoholic
malt beverages in southern Louisiana.

  The Company operates under exclusive bottling appointments and franchise
agreements with a number of soft drink concentrate and syrup producers. These
agreements contain provisions regarding the manufacturing, bottling, canning,
distribution and sale of the franchisors' products. The Company also
distributes alcoholic beverages pursuant to distributor agreements that
contain provisions regarding the distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages.

  The Pepsi-Cola/Seven-Up Beverage Group of Louisiana (the "Joint Venture") is
a partnership between Delta and Poydras Street Investors, L.L.C. ("Poydras").
Delta's percentage ownership is 62% and Poydras' percentage ownership is 38%.
Beginning January 1, 2000, Delta can purchase the percentage interest of
Poydras at fair market value (as defined).

  The Joint Venture's operations and net assets are consolidated with those of
Delta in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Poydras'
share of the Joint Venture's income (loss) and net assets is reflected as a
minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Use of Accounting 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more
significant estimates with regard to these financial statements are disclosed
in Note 12.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents include temporary investments in short-term
securities with original maturities of three months or less. As of December
31, 1998, the Company had bank overdrafts of $2,054. Bank overdrafts are
included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 Property and Equipment

  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment renewals
and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenditures are
charged to operations currently. Depreciation is computed using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of purchased property and
equipment, or the shorter of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of
assets acquired under capital lease arrangements. Those lives are as follows:

 Intangibles and Other Assets

  The cost of franchises in excess of net assets acquired is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over 35 to 40 years. The Company, at least annually,
evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may impact the
recoverability of franchise costs. Upon the occurrence of any such event or
circumstance, the Company remeasures the realizable portion of franchise costs
and adjusts the asset to the lesser of its carrying value or fair value.

  Costs incurred to obtain long-term financing are deferred and amortized as
adjustments of interest using the effective interest method over the terms of
the related debt.

  Amounts paid pursuant to contracts with outside parties providing the
Company with exclusive beverage pouring rights are capitalized as other assets
in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the terms of the
related contracts.

 Income Taxes

  The Company uses the liability method of accounting for deferred income
taxes. Accordingly, deferred income taxes reflect both the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards,
and temporary differences between the Company's assets and liabilities for
financial reporting and income tax purposes, using income tax rates currently
in effect.

 Supplemental Cash Flow Information

  During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company issued additional preferred shares
as payment-in-kind dividends on preferred stock of $1,780, $1,678 and $1,580,
respectively (see Note 8).

  Interest paid in cash during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $12,931, $12,281 and
$12,363, respectively. Income taxes of $371, $247 and $177 were paid in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

 Concentration of Credit Risk

  The Company's business activities are concentrated within the mid-southern
United States. However, management believes that there are no significant
concentrations of credit risk with any individual party or groups of parties.

 Fair Values of Financial Instruments

  The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, except for
fixed rate long-term debt, approximate their carrying amounts. For fixed rate
long-term debt, fair value was estimated based on the current rates offered
for similar obligations and maturities. The estimated fair value of total
long-term debt and other liabilities was $187,000 at December 31, 1998 and
$178,000 at December 31, 1997, compared to a recorded value of $180,000 at
December 31, 1998 and $170,000 at December 31, 1997.

3. ACQUISITIONS

  In April 1996, the Joint Venture acquired substantially all of the assets of
Delta Distributing Company, a wholesale distributor of Miller Brewing Company
alcoholic beverages in Raceland, Louisiana. In May 1996, the Joint Venture
acquired the franchise rights from Heineken USA to distribute Heineken beer
products in the greater New Orleans area. The acquisitions were accounted for
as purchases, and the Company's consolidated results of operations include the
results of the acquisitions since their respective purchase dates. The impact
of the 1996 acquisitions on the Company's consolidated results of operations
was not material.

Inc. and certain assets of Svoboda Distributing Company, Inc., the Joint
Venture entered into marketing support agreements with Miller Brewing
Company's advertising agency for the general promotion of Miller products in
the greater New Orleans area. The marketing support obligations have been
capitalized and are being amortized over five years.

6. INCOME TAXES

  At December 31, 1998, the Company had federal income tax net operating loss
carryforwards of $27,074 which had been incurred since the predecessor
business was acquired in March 1988. These net operating loss carryforwards
expire through 2007. In addition, as of December 31, 1998 the Company had
similar net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards of $3,803 and $1,187,
respectively, which were incurred prior to March 1988. Effective at that date,
the predecessor business was acquired in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The Internal Revenue Code limits the Company's utilization of the
acquired net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to $3,000 per year.
These net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be used through
2003.

  The Company has recognized deferred income tax assets for the estimated
future income tax benefits of the pre- and post-acquisition net operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards that are expected to be realized through the
reduction of future taxable income from operations within the carryforward
periods.

  In December 1996, the Company placed $120 million of new senior notes and
executed a new $30 million bank revolving line of credit. The net proceeds of
the debt offering were used primarily to retire the Company's prior senior
notes and the amounts outstanding under the Company's prior revolving line of
credit.

  In a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and declared effective on February
12, 1997, the Company exchanged the $120 million senior notes for new $120
million senior notes. The new senior notes retained the same interest rate,
maturity date and ranking as the original senior notes. The Company did not
receive any cash proceeds from this transaction.

  The senior notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are
senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December
15.

  The new bank revolving line of credit matures on December 16, 2001 and bears
interest, at Delta's option, at LIBOR or a defined margin over the higher of
(1) the bank's prime rate or (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% (the "base
rate"). Borrowings are limited to the sum of 80% of Delta's eligible
receivables and 50% of Delta's eligible inventory. The line of credit includes
a swing line facility of up to $2.5 million. Swing line loans bear interest at
either the base rate or at an otherwise mutually agreed upon rate of interest.
The line of credit also includes a $10 million limit for the issuance of
letters of credit; the letter of credit facility fee is based on the
Eurodollar applicable margin less 0.125%. The agreement also provides for a
fee on the unused commitment ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%. Borrowings under the
line of credit are secured by Delta's accounts receivable and inventory.
Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly.

  As of December 31, 1998, $5,600 was outstanding under the revolving line of
credit, including $2,500 under the swing line facility. The interest rate as
of December 31, 1998 on amounts outstanding under the swing line facility was
6.88%, while the interest rate on remaining amounts outstanding was 8.25%.
There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit as of
December 31, 1997.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

  In connection with the debt placement described above, the Company incurred
financing fees of $4,885. These fees have been capitalized and are being
amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements. Deferred financing
costs relating to debt retired in 1996 of $2,472 were written off. This write-
off, less a related income tax benefit of $953, is reported as an
extraordinary item in the 1996 consolidated statement of operations.

  Interest on the subordinated notes is due semi-annually on April 1 and
October 1, and may be paid in cash or, at the option of the Company, by the
issuance of additional subordinated notes ("PIK Notes"). The PIK Notes bear
interest at 11% or 15% depending upon whether the terms of the note agreement
would have permitted the Company to pay any portion of the interest in cash.
The Company issued additional subordinated notes of $4,935 and $4,431 under
this provision in 1998 and 1997, respectively. These additional notes bear
interest at 11% and are included with subordinated notes payable in the
preceding table.

  Certain of the subordinated debt holders are also preferred and non-voting
common shareholders of the Company.

  The Company's long-term debt agreements require, among other things, the
maintenance of certain minimum financial ratios and financial requirements,
and limit additional indebtedness, sales of assets, investments and capital
expenditures. The agreements also restrict the payment of dividends and limit
capital stock transactions.

  In 1995, the Company acquired Miller Brands of Greater New Orleans, Inc. The
purchase price included a $900 deferred obligation payable upon the Miller
business achieving an annual $8,000 gross profit.

  Scheduled maturities of long-term debt and other liabilities during the four
years subsequent to 1999 are as follows:

8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred Stock

  Authorized preferred stock consists of 30,000 designated Series AA preferred
shares. The Series AA preferred stock does not contain voting rights. Series
AA preferred shareholders receive cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 6%
based on the $5 thousand stated value per share. The rate will increase 2%
annually beginning October 1, 2004, but is limited to a cumulative increase of
8%. Dividends are payable quarterly in cash or in additional shares of Series
AA preferred stock. The Company is obligated to pay the dividends in cash once
the senior notes are retired. The preferred stock dividends for 1998, 1997 and
1996 were paid with additional preferred shares and are included in
shareholders' equity at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. So long as the
Series AA preferred stock is outstanding, the Company cannot declare or pay
dividends on its common stock.

  In the event of a liquidation, Series AA preferred shareholders have a $5
thousand per share liquidation preference.

 Voting Common Stock

  Voting common stock consists of 60,000 authorized shares.

                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Non-Voting Common Stock

  Non-voting common stock consists of 35,000 authorized shares. Should the
Company register its shares in a public offering, the non-voting common stock
may be converted, at the holder's option, into voting common stock. The
conversion rate is one share of non-voting common stock for one share of
voting common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain
instances as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation.

  The transfer and sale of shares by and among the shareholders and the
Company are restricted by a Shareholders' Agreement.

9. LEASES

  The Company leases certain buildings and other facilities, vehicles and
equipment under agreements expiring through 2010.

  Future minimum rental payments under all noncancellable operating leases
with initial or remaining lease terms of one year or more were as follows at
December 31, 1998:

</TABLE>

  Total rent expense during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $5,130, $4,252 and $3,587,
respectively.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  The Company has entered into a management agreement with a company (the
"management company") controlled by three individuals who own shares of the
Company's common stock. For services performed pursuant to the agreement, the
Company pays the management company a management fee and a transaction fee.
Management fees of $550, $551 and $533 were paid during 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The transaction fee is payable upon the acquisition of
additional franchises and is equal to 1.5% of the acquisition cost of such
franchises. Affiliates of the management company also own common stock of the
Company.

  In 1998 the Company entered into an accounting services agreement with a
separate entity in which the management company described above owns a
controlling interest. For services performed pursuant to this agreement, the
affiliate pays the Company an accounting services fee. Accounting services
fees of $170 were incurred with this affiliate in 1998. In addition, the
Company sold $5,411 of product at cost to this affiliate in 1998 and as of
December 31, 1998 had a receivable from this affiliate of $255.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

  The Company sponsors a defined contribution employee benefit plan which
covers all eligible full-time employees. Prior to April 1, 1997, employees who
participated in the plan could defer up to 10% of their salaries and wages and
receive matching payments by the Company of 50% of those deferrals, limited to
annual employer contributions of $5 hundred per employee. Effective April 1,
1997, the plan was amended to increase the maximum employee deferral
percentage to 15% and maximum annual employer contributions to $1 thousand per
employee. The Company's contributions were $546 for 1998, $581 for 1997 and
$257 for 1996.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

  The Company also maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan which
is available for certain executives of the Company, as selected by the
Company's board of directors. Executives who participate in the plan may elect
to defer a percentage of their compensation (as defined), subject to
limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and the Company, and are
eligible to receive discretionary contributions from the Company. Employee
deferrals and employer discretionary contributions are held in a trust
restricted from the general assets of the Company. Restricted assets held in
trust, included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets, totaled $1,692 and $1,225 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  The Company has a restricted stock bonus plan under which executives and key
employees may be awarded shares of the Company's common stock. All shares
granted contain restrictions on sale or transfer; these restrictions lapse
over an eleven-year period. A maximum of 250 shares of common stock may be
awarded under this plan. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, 22 restricted shares
were outstanding, all of which were held by an officer.

  The Company maintains a phantom stock plan available to certain key members
of management. This plan allows eligible executives to participate in the
continued success of the Company based upon the annual appreciation in the
equity value of the Company, as defined. The equivalent of 38,200 shares have
been granted under this plan. Each phantom stock award vests over a three-year
period, and is payable in cash or shares of the Company's common stock upon
the earlier of the participant's death, disability, termination or retirement.
Each participant is subject to a noncompete and nonsolicitation restriction in
consideration of the share equivalent grant. All grants contain restrictions
on assignment or transfer. There was no appreciation in the equity value of
the Company, as defined, in 1996. Effective December 31, 1997, the phantom
stock plan was amended to redefine the beginning equity value upon which
appreciation in the equity value of the Company is determined. As a result, in
1998 and 1997 benefits of $295 and $1,900, respectively, were earned under the
amended plan.

12. CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

 Self Insurance

  The Company maintains self insurance reserves for estimated workers'
compensation and product, automobile and general liability claims. These
estimates are based on historical information along with certain assumptions
about future events. Changes in assumptions for items such as medical costs,
environmental hazards and legal actions, as well as changes in actual
experience, could cause these estimates to change in the near term.

  As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had $8,454 and $9,124 in
outstanding letters of credit to secure the obligations to insurance companies
for workers' compensation and product, automobile and general liability
claims.

 Loss Contingencies

  The Company is subject to various litigation, claims and assessments arising
in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate
resolution of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not
have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

 Deferred Income Tax Assets

  The Company has recorded deferred income tax assets reflecting the expected
future benefits of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards which expire in
varying amounts through 2007 (see Note 6). Realization is dependent on
generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of these
carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes that
it is more likely than not that all of the deferred income tax assets will be
realized. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable
income during the carryforward periods are reduced.

                   DELTA BEVERAGE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   Unaudited

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Delta
Beverage Group, Inc. ("Delta," a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary
(collectively, the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation
of financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of June 30,
1999, and for all interim periods presented. These condensed interim financial
statements do not include all of the financial information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Also, the results of operations for the interim periods
presented may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

2. PREFERRED STOCK

  Authorized preferred stock consists of 30,000 designated Series AA preferred
shares. Series AA preferred shareholders receive cumulative dividends at an
annual rate of 6% based on the $5,000 stated value per share. Dividends are
paid quarterly in cash or in additional shares of Series AA preferred stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company issued additional
preferred shares as payment-in-kind dividends on preferred stock of
approximately $0.9 million. The additional preferred shares are included in
shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1999.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

  The Company maintains subordinated notes payable due in December 2003.
Interest on the subordinated notes is due semi-annually on April 1 and October
1, and may be paid in cash or, at the option of the Company, by the issuance
of additional subordinated notes ("PIK Notes"). The PIK Notes bear interest at
11% or 15% depending upon whether the terms of the note agreement would have
permitted the Company to pay any portion of the interest in cash. During the
six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company issued additional subordinated
notes of approximately $2.7 million. These additional notes bear interest at
11% and are included in long-term debt and other liabilities in the
accompanying June 30, 1999 consolidated balance sheet.

  The Company maintains a $30.0 million bank revolving line of credit which
matures on December 16, 2001. The line of credit includes a swing line
facility of up to $2.5 million. Swing line loans bear interest at either the
base rate (defined below) or an otherwise mutually agreed upon rate of
interest. Interest on remaining amounts outstanding under the line of credit
bear interest, at the Company's option, at LIBOR or a defined margin over the
higher of (1) the bank's prime rate or (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%
(the "base rate"). Borrowings are limited to the sum of approximately 80% of
the Company's eligible receivables and approximately 50% of the Company's
eligible inventory. The line of credit also includes a $10.0 million limit for
the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the line are secured by
the Company's accounts receivable and inventory. Borrowings outstanding under
the line of credit approximated $8.9 million as of June 30, 1999, including
$2.5 million under the swing line facility.

4. INVENTORIES

  Inventories included the following (in thousands):

                   Report of Independent Public Accountants

To Dakota Beverage Company, Inc.:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dakota
Beverage Company, Inc. (a Minnesota corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pohlad Companies) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder's equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based upon our audits.

  We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Dakota Beverage Company,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. ORGANIZATION

 Organization and Principles of Consolidation

  Dakota Beverage Company, Inc. (Dakota or the Company) and Subsidiaries is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Pohlad Companies (the Parent). The Company bottles
and distributes beverage products, principally Pepsi-Cola and Dr.
Pepper/Seven-Up products in the north-central United States. The franchise
territories cover portions of North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.
Additionally, the Company owns and operates a full-line vending subsidiary in
Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Use of Accounting 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more
significant estimates with regard to these financial statements are disclosed
in Note 11.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents include temporary investments in short-term
securities with original maturities of three months or less.

 Property and Equipment

  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment renewals
and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenditures are
charged to operations currently. Depreciation is computed using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of purchased property and
equipment. Those lives are as follows:

                                                                     Useful Life
                                                                     -----------
      <S>                                                            <C>
      Buildings and improvements.................................... 7-33 years
      Machinery and equipment....................................... 3-12 years
</TABLE>

 Intangibles and Other Assets

  The cost of franchises in excess of net assets acquired is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over 35 to 40 years. The Company, at least annually,
evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may impact the
recoverability of franchise costs. Upon the occurrence of any such event or
circumstance, the Company remeasures the realizable portion of franchise costs
and adjusts the asset to the lesser of its carrying value or fair value.

  Costs incurred to obtain long-term financing are deferred and amortized as
adjustments of interest using the effective interest method over the term of
the related debt.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

  Amounts paid pursuant to contracts with outside parties providing the
Company with exclusive beverage pouring rights are capitalized as other assets
in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the terms of the
related contracts.

 Income Taxes

  Effective January 1, 1997, the Company elected S corporation status under
the applicable Internal Revenue Code and Minnesota Income Tax Act sections,
whereby the taxable income and any available tax credits of the Company are
included in the income tax returns of its shareholder.

 Supplemental Cash Flow Information

  Interest paid in cash during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $1,511, $906 and
$1,074, respectively. There were no income taxes paid in 1998 or 1997. Income
taxes of $5,346 were paid in 1996.

 Concentration of Credit Risk

  The Company's business activities are concentrated within the north-central
United States. However, management believes that there are no significant
concentrations of credit risk with any individual party or groups of parties.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, except for
fixed rate long-term debt, approximate their carrying amounts. For fixed rate
long-term debt, fair value was estimated based on the current rates offered
for similar obligations and maturities. The estimated fair value of total
long-term debt and other liabilities was $38,861 at December 31, 1998 and
$11,483 at December 31, 1997, compared to a recorded value of $38,250 at
December 31, 1998 and $11,483 at December 31, 1997.

3. ACQUISITIONS

  On March 31, 1999, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of S&R
Vending, a full-line vending operation based in Wahpeton, North Dakota. The
transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
with the excess purchase price over the book value of assets being assigned to
goodwill. Pro forma financial information is not presented as the aggregate
impact of the acquisition is immaterial to the Company.

4. INVENTORIES

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market and include the following at December 31:

6. INCOME TAXES:

  As part of the change in its tax status, the Company has eliminated the
effect of all basis differences as a benefit for income taxes. The effect of
those differences at January 1, 1997 was recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations as a benefit for income taxes. As the Company is no
longer required to pay corporate income taxes, no provision for income taxes
has been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
subsequent to January 1, 1997.

  Deferred income taxes were composed of the following at December 31, 1996
(prior to the change in tax status):

  Under the terms of the 1993 and 1998 Senior Notes agreements, the Company's

rates for short periods of time (60 to 90 days), and has exercised this option

  Rent expense was $681, $548 and $582 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  The Company has entered into a management agreement with its Parent. For
services performed pursuant to the agreement, the Company pays the management
company a management fee and a transaction fee. Management fees of $2,577,
$2,343 and $2,130 were paid in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
management fee is calculated based on the prior year fees plus an additional
10%. Affiliates of the management company also own common stock of the
Company.

  During 1998, the Company advanced $33,400 in cash to its Parent in exchange
for a note receivable. The note receivable is due in annual principal
installments of $500 beginning December 31, 2001, with a balloon payment of
$29,900 due on June 30, 2008. The note receivable bears interest at 7%, and
all interest payments on the note have been made through December 31, 1998. It
is the Parent's intent to have the note forgiven by the Company and, as such,
the note has been reflected as a component of stockholder's equity (deficit)
on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

  In conjunction with its change in tax status, as discussed in Note 1, the
Company has declared monthly tax distributions in the form of a dividend to
its Parent in amounts equal to the income or other tax liabilities incurred by
its Parent at the highest incremental rate, inclusive of state, local and
federal taxes, totaling $6,523 and $6,139 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
These amounts are included in tax distributions on the accompanying
consolidated statements of shareholder's equity (deficit). These tax
distributions are calculated based on approximately 45% of net income and are
payable monthly.

  The Company also declares and pays a quarterly dividend to its Parent for
50% of net income, net of tax distributions. This dividend is included in the
accompanying consolidated statements of shareholder's equity (deficit).

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

  The Company has an interest in Wis-Pak, in which the Company purchases
substantially all of its bottled and canned beverages from Wis-Pak. Amounts
related to unsettled transactions are recorded in the receivable/payable
accounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company's
investment in Wis-Pak is accounted for under the cost method.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

  The Company sponsors a defined contribution employee benefit plan which
covers all eligible full-time employees. Employees who participate in the plan
can defer up to 15% of their salaries and wages and receive matching payments
by the Company of up to 4%, up to a maximum of 50% of the employee's total
contribution. The Company's contributions were $297 for 1998, $267 for 1997
and $236 for 1996.

  The Company maintains a phantom stock plan available to certain key members
of management. This plan allows eligible executives to participate in the
continued success of the Company based upon the annual appreciation in the
equity value of the Company, as defined. The equivalent of 9,796 shares have
been granted under this plan. Each phantom stock award vests over a three-year
period, and is payable in cash or shares of the Company's common stock upon
the earlier of the participant's death, disability, termination or retirement.
Each participant is subject to a noncompete and nonsolicitation restriction in
consideration of the share-equivalent grant. All grants contain restrictions
on assignment or transfer. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, benefits of $800
and $683, respectively, were earned under the plan.

11. CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

 Self-Insurance

  The Company maintains self-insurance reserves for estimated workers'
compensation and healthcare. These estimates are based on historical
information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in
assumptions for items such as medical costs, environmental hazards and legal
actions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates
to change in the near term.

 Loss Contingencies

  The Company is subject to various litigation, claims and assessments arising
in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate
resolution of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not
have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

                                   Unaudited

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Dakota
Beverage Company, Inc. (Dakota or the Company), a Minnesota corporation and
subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring
adjustments) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of June 30, 1999,
and for all interim periods presented. These condensed interim financial
statements do not include all of the financial information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Also, the results of operations for the interim periods
presented may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

2. FEES RELATED TO COMBINATION OF INTERESTS

  On June 28, 1999, the shareholder(s) of Dakota and Delta Beverage Group,
Inc. ("Delta") entered into share exchange agreements with Pepsi-Cola Puerto
Rico Bottling Company ("PPR"). Dakota, Delta and PPR share common ownership
and are under the common control of the Pohlad Companies. Accordingly, the
combination will be accounted for as a merger of entities under common
control. The combination is subject to the approval of PPR's shareholders.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, Dakota expensed approximately
$1.3 million in professional fees and other related costs attributable to
combining the common equity interests of Dakota, Delta and PPR.

3. ACQUISITION

  On March 1, 1999, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of S&R
Vending, a full-line vending operation based in Wahpeton, North Dakota. The
transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
with the excess purchase price over the book value of assets being assigned to
goodwill. Pro forma financial information is not presented as the aggregate
impact of the acquisition is immaterial to the Company.

4. LONG TERM DEBT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

  During the first quarter of 1999, the Company borrowed an additional $2.4
million on the line of credit, which bears interest on outstanding advances,
payable monthly, at LIBOR plus 1.1% (6.75% at June 30, 1999). Borrowings
outstanding on the line of credit approximated $6.5 million as of June 30,
1999.

accordingly, have authorized Delta to enter into this Agreement; and

  WHEREAS, a special committee of the Board of Directors of PPR (the "PPR

and for those holders of issued and outstanding shares of Delta voting common
stock and Delta nonvoting common stock (collectively, the "Delta Stock")
identified on Schedule 1 hereto to exchange their shares of Delta Stock for
PPR Class B Common Stock in the manner set forth herein (the "Exchange"), and
that, as a result, Delta will become a subsidiary of PPR; and

  WHEREAS, as an inducement to PPR entering into this Agreement and incurring
the obligations set forth herein, concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, P-PR Transfer, LLP, a Delaware limited liability

exchanged, and (ii) deliver to PPR all of the Delta Certificates.

  Section 1.3 Transfer Taxes. If any certificate representing shares of PPR
Class B Common Stock is to be paid to or issued in a name other than that in
which the Delta Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it
shall be a condition of such exchange that the Delta Certificate so
surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for
transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the
Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance
of certificates for such shares of PPR Class B Common Stock in a name other

shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has
been paid or is not applicable.

lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person claiming such Delta Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if
required by PPR, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable
amount as PPR may direct (but consistent with the practices PPR applies to its
own stockholders), as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such Delta Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Delta Certificate the shares of
PPR Class B Common Stock.

  Section 1.5 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") and all actions specified in this Agreement to occur

  Section 2.1 Organization, Standing and Power. PPR is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease
or operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.
Each Subsidiary of PPR (the "PPR Subsidiaries") is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it
is organized and has the requisite corporate (in the case of a Subsidiary that
is a corporation) or other power and authority to own, lease or operate its
properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. PPR and each
of the PPR Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business, and are in good
standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of their properties owned
or held under lease or the nature of their activities makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on PPR. For purposes of
this Agreement (a) "Material Adverse Change" or "Material Adverse Effect"
means, when used with respect to PPR or Delta, as the case may be, any change
or effect that is materially adverse to the business, assets, liabilities,
results of operation or condition (financial or otherwise) of PPR and the PPR
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Delta and the Delta Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, as the case may be, and (b) "Subsidiary" means any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other legal entity of
which PPR or Delta, as the case may be (either alone or through or together
with any other Subsidiary), owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the
stock or other equity interests the holders of which are generally entitled to
vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of
such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or
other legal entity.

  Section 2.2 Capital Structure.

  (a) Capital Stock of PPR. The authorized capital stock of PPR consists of
40,000,000 shares, of which 5,000,000 shares are designated as PPR Class A
Common Stock and 35,000,000 are designated as PPR Class B Common Stock. As of
the date hereof, PPR has issued and outstanding 5,000,000 shares of PPR Class
A Common Stock and 16,690,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. All
outstanding shares of PPR Class A Common Stock and PPR Class B Common Stock
have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. Except as set forth in PPR's Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 1998, and except for option grants under the Pepsi-Cola Puerto
Rico Bottling Company Qualified Plan dated December 30, 1996 and the Pepsi-
Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company Non-Qualified Plan dated December 30, 1996
(collectively, the "PPR Option Plans") in the ordinary course of business
since December 31, 1998, PPR has no outstanding securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock, no contracts, rights, options, warrants or
other agreements or commitments to purchase or otherwise issue any shares of
its capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable therefor, or
any shares reserved for issuance under any stock option, employee benefit or
other plans or otherwise. No holder of any security of PPR is entitled to any
preemptive or similar rights to purchase securities from PPR.

  (b) Capital Stock of PPR After Exchange and Dakota Acquisition. On the date
of Closing, upon completion of the Exchange and the Dakota Acquisition, (i)
the authorized capital stock of PPR will consist of 150,000,000 shares, of
which 5,000,000 shares will be designated as PPR Class A Common Stock and
145,000,000 will be designated as PPR Class B Common Stock, and (ii) PPR will
have issued and outstanding 5,000,000 shares of PPR Class A Common Stock and
81,760,006 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock, not including any shares of PPR
Class B Common Stock that PPR is permitted to issue by this Agreement (other
than in connection with the Dakota Acquisition) during the period from the
date of this Agreement through the date of Closing. Assuming that the Closing
were to occur on the date hereof, immediately after such Closing, the issued
and outstanding PPR Class A Common Stock and PPR Class B Common Stock would be
owned as set forth on Schedule 2.2(b).

  (c) Capital Stock of PPR Subsidiaries. A listing of each of the PPR
Subsidiaries and the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock or other
equity interests of each of the PPR Subsidiaries, whether voting or nonvoting,
and the rights and preferences associated with each class or series of capital
stock or other equity interests, is as set forth on Schedule 2.2(c). Except as
set forth on Schedule 2.2(c), (i) PPR is the owner of all of the capital stock
or other equity interests of the PPR Subsidiaries, free and clear of all
security interests, liens, pledges, options, rights of first refusal,
limitations on voting rights, charges or other encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever (collectively, "Encumbrances") and (ii) except for the PPR
Subsidiaries, PPR does not own, directly or indirectly, any equity or

                                      A-7
<PAGE>

similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture or other legal entity. All outstanding shares of capital stock
of the PPR Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.2(c), none of
the PPR Subsidiaries has any outstanding securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock, no contracts, rights, options, warrants or
other agreements or commitments to purchase or otherwise issue any shares of
capital stock or other equity interests of any of the PPR Subsidiaries or
securities convertible into or exchangeable therefor, or any shares reserved
for issuance under stock option, employee benefit or other plans or otherwise.
No holder of any security of any of the PPR Subsidiaries is entitled to any
preemptive or similar rights to purchase securities from any such Subsidiary.

  Section 2.3 Authority. The PPR Special Committee and PPR's Board of
Directors have, on or prior to the date of this Agreement (a) declared that as
of such date the Exchange was advisable and fair to and in the best interests
of PPR and its stockholders, (b) approved this Agreement and resolved to
recommend the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby by PPR's stockholders, and (c) directed that this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby be submitted to PPR's stockholders for
approval. Subject to the approval by PPR's stockholders of the PPR Charter
Amendment (as defined in Section 6.1), PPR has all requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to approval by PPR's
stockholders of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
including the Exchange, to issue the PPR Class B Common Stock in connection
with the Exchange (the "Share Issuance") and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by PPR and
the consummation by PPR of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of PPR, subject to
the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
including the Exchange, by the stockholders of PPR. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by PPR and (assuming the valid authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Delta and the Delta Stockholders)
this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of PPR enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except to the extent that (i)
enforcement may be limited by or subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating
to or limiting creditors' remedies, and (ii) the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief are subject to
certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court or other
tribunal before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. Subject to
approval by the stockholders of PPR, the Share Issuance has been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of PPR. When issued
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the shares of PPR Class B
Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

  Section 2.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violation. Except as disclosed on
Schedule 2.4 hereto, and assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations
and other actions described in the second sentence of this Section 2.4 have
been obtained, the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the
provisions hereof will not, result in any violation of, or default (with or
without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give to others a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or the loss of any
present or future benefit under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance
upon any of the properties or assets of PPR or any of the PPR Subsidiaries
under, any provision of (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of PPR,
(ii) the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of the PPR
Subsidiaries, (iii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage,

their respective real or personal properties or assets, other than, in the
case of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), any such violations, defaults, rights, or
Encumbrances that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on PPR, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated hereby. No filing or registration with, or
authorization, consent or approval of, any domestic (federal and state),
foreign or supranational court, commission, governmental body, regulatory
agency, authority or tribunal (a "Governmental Entity") is required by or with

of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), (iii) applicable requirements, if any, of
Blue Sky Laws and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") and (iv) such
other consents, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and

materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

  Section 2.5 SEC Documents and Other Reports. PPR has filed all required
forms, reports, documents, statements (including proxy statements) and
exhibits with the SEC that were required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange

all material respects with the then applicable requirements of the Securities

were filed, none of the PPR SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated

financial position of PPR and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the
respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
their consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case
of unaudited statements, to the absence of footnote disclosure and any other
adjustments described therein and normal year-end audit adjustments). Except

since December 31, 1998, made any change in the accounting practices or
policies applied in the preparation of its financial statements.

  all required entries in their financial records and statements for all
  obligations and liabilities that have accrued but are not due. No written
  or oral statement has been made by PPR or the PPR Subsidiaries to any

  Subsidiaries. PPR and all PPR Subsidiaries have met any applicable minimum
  funding standard, and have made all contributions required, under ERISA

  any such plan.

    (iv) Other than routine claims for benefits submitted by participants or
  beneficiaries, no claim against, or legal proceeding involving or relating
  to, any PPR Plan, PPR Other Benefit Obligation, or PPR VEBA is pending or,
  to PPR's Knowledge, is threatened.

  4042 of ERISA, and no events have occurred and no circumstances exist that
  could reasonably be expected to result in any such liability to PPR, the
  PPR Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate. All premiums due the PBGC with
  respect to the Title IV Plans have been paid.

    (vi) There has been no "reportable event" within the meaning of Section
  4043 of ERISA with respect to any Title IV Plan which would require the
  giving of notice to the PBGC or any other event requiring disclosure under
  Section 4041(c)(3)(C) or 4063(a) of ERISA.

    (vii) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
  consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, either alone or
  upon the occurrence of subsequent events, (i) result in any payment
  becoming due to any current or former employee, officer or director of PPR
  or the PPR Subsidiaries, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under
  any PPR Plan or PPR Other Benefit Obligation, (iii) result in the
  acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits under any

10-K for the period ended December 31, 1998, Delta's relationships with its

           REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE DELTA STOCKHOLDERS

  Each of the Delta Stockholders, for itself but not on behalf of any other
Delta Stockholder, represents and warrants to PPR as follows:

  Section 4.1 Title; Authority. Such Delta Stockholder is the beneficial owner
of the class and number of shares of Delta Stock set forth opposite such
stockholder's name on Schedule 1 hereto (it being understood that such
beneficial owner may hold such shares in the name of its nominee as holder of
record, in which case such nominee has been indicated in parenthesis next to
such beneficial owner's name), and owns such shares of Delta Stock free and
clear of all Encumbrances, except for restrictions on transfer imposed by
federal and state securities laws and the Amended and Restated Shareholders
Agreement dated as of September 23, 1993 and except as described on Schedule
1. Such Delta Stockholder has the authority to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by such Delta Stockholder and (assuming the valid authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement by PPR and the other parties hereto)
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Delta Stockholder
and is enforceable against such Delta Stockholder in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that (i) enforcement may be limited by or subject
to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now
or hereafter in effect relating to or limiting creditors' remedies and (ii)
the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable
relief are subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the
court or other tribunal before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

  Section 4.2 No Breach. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Delta Stockholder and the consummation by such Delta Stockholder of the
Exchange does not and will not contravene, violate, or constitute or result in
a breach or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under,
the charter or organizational documents of such Delta Stockholder or any
contract or agreement by which such Delta Stockholder is bound (except as
would not have a material adverse effect on such Delta Stockholder's ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as may arise under the
Amended and Restated Shareholder's Agreement dated as of September 23, 1993),
or any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation
applicable to such Delta Stockholders or result in the creation or imposition
of any Encumbrance (other than under this Agreement) on the shares of the
Delta Stock owned by such Delta Stockholder.

  Section 4.3 No Consents. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3 hereto or as
required by the Amended and Restated Shareholder's Agreement dated as of
September 23, 1993, no consent or authorization of, or registration,
declaration or filing with, any person, is required to be made or received by
such Delta Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the consummation of the Exchange.

  Section 4.4 Entire Interest. The Delta Stock listed opposite such Delta
Stockholder's name on Schedule 1 hereto constitutes such Delta Stockholder's
entire ownership interest in Delta as of the date hereof, and such Delta
Stockholder has no rights to acquire any additional shares of Delta Stock or
any other equity interest in Delta, except with respect to the Delta Preferred
and the preemptive rights contained in Article Fourth of Delta's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

  Section 4.5 Accredited Investor Status; PPR Information. Such Delta
Stockholder is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and has knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters sufficient to evaluate the merits
and risks of the investment in the shares of PPR

                                     A-27
<PAGE>

Class B Common Stock and is able to bear such risks. Such Delta Stockholder
has been given access to full and complete information regarding PPR,
including the opportunity to meet with PPR officers and review the PPR SEC
Filings.

  Section 4.6 Unregistered Securities; Investment Intent. Such Delta
Stockholder acknowledges that the shares of PPR Class B Common Stock have not
been registered under the Securities Act or relevant state securities laws
pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and such
laws, and that PPR's reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on
such Delta Stockholder's representations to PPR as contained herein. The
shares of PPR Class B Common Stock are being purchased for the account of such
Delta Stockholder for investment and without the intention of reselling,
transferring or redistributing the same, other than as provided in or
contemplated by this Agreement. Such Delta Stockholder has no agreement for
the transfer or disposition of any of such shares, except as provided in this
Agreement.

  Section 4.7 Restrictions on Transfer. Such Delta Stockholder acknowledges
that PPR will place a restrictive legend on the certificate(s) representing
the shares of PPR Class B Common Stock, containing substantially the following
language:

  The securities represented by this certificate were issued without
  registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
  and without registration under state securities laws, in reliance upon
  exemptions contained in the Act and such laws. No transfer of these
  securities or any interest therein may be made except pursuant to
  effective registration statements under said laws unless this
  corporation has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that
  such transfer or disposition does not require registration under said
  laws and, for any sales under Rule 144 of the Act, such evidence as it
  shall reasonably request for compliance with that rule.

  PPR will place a stop transfer order on the certificate(s) representing the
shares to assure compliance with this Agreement and the matters referenced
above.

                             ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

  Section 6.1 PPR Stockholder Meeting. PPR shall call a meeting of its
stockholders (the "PPR Stockholder Meeting") for the purpose of: (a) approving
the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the Share
Issuance and the Exchange; (b) approving an increase in the number of
authorized shares of PPR's Class B Common Stock to 145,000,000 shares (the
"PPR Charter Amendment"); (c) approving the amendments to the PPR Option Plans
to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder and (d)
approving such other matters as PPR's Board of Directors shall determine. PPR
shall within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement, prepare
and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement for the purpose of soliciting
proxies for the matters brought before the PPR Stockholder Meeting. PPR will,
through the PPR Board of Directors with the concurrence of the PPR Special
Committee, recommend to its stockholders approval of such matters and shall
not withdraw such recommendation; provided, however, that the PPR Special
Committee shall not be required to make, and shall be entitled to withdraw,
such recommendation if and only if the PPR Special Committee concludes in good
faith on the basis of the advice of Willkie Farr & Gallagher that the making
of, or the failure to withdraw, such recommendation would violate the
fiduciary obligations of the PPR Special Committee under applicable law;
provided further, however, that in no case shall any change in the trading
price of PPR Class B Common Stock be used as a basis for any such conclusion.
Notwithstanding any recission of the recommendation by the PPR Special
Committee that is permitted by this Section 6.1, PPR shall remain obligated to
call the PPR Stockholder Meeting.

  Section 6.2 Preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy
Statement.

  (a) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, PPR shall prepare and
file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 for the purpose of
registering for resale by the Delta Stockholders or their assigns (the
"Holders") the shares of PPR Class B Common Stock issued in the Exchange (the
"Registration Statement"). PPR shall use its best efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act prior to
the expiration of the lock-up period described in Section 7.1(h). PPR will
advise the Holders in writing, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of
the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any
supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order (or
the initiating or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose), of the
suspension of the qualification of the PPR Class B Common Stock issuable in
connection with the Exchange for offering or sale in any jurisdiction (or the
initiating or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose), or of any
request by the SEC for amendment of the Registration Statement or comments
thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional
information. The Holders shall receive an opinion from counsel to PPR, dated
as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, subject to customary
qualifications and limitations for such opinions and in a form reasonably
satisfactory to such Holders, to the effect that PPR is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing in Delaware, the PPR Class B Common
Stock included in the Registration Statement has been registered under the
Securities Act, the conditions to use by PPR of a registration statement on
Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the General Instructions to
Form S-3, have been satisfied with respect to the Registration Statement and
that the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act.
PPR shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
effective until the later of nine months from the end of the lock-up period or
until such time as each of the Holders who is not deemed to be an "affiliate"
of PPR within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may sell all
of such Holder's shares of PPR Class B Common Stock received in the Exchange
within a three (3) month period under Rule 144, without regard to the volume
limitations contained in Rule 144(e). PPR agrees that the restrictive

                                     A-31
<PAGE>

legend and the stop transfer order on the certificates representing the shares
of PPR Class B Common Stock shall be removed at PPR's expense upon the
registration of such shares under the Securities Act or the sale of such
shares pursuant to Rule 144.

  (b) PPR and Delta each agree, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none
of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or its Subsidiaries for
inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement
will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the
Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and (ii) the Proxy Statement and any
amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to the PPR
stockholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

  (c) PPR shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause "comfort letters" of
Arthur Andersen LLP or another nationally recognized certified public
accounting firm to be delivered to the Holders, dated the date on which the
Registration Statement shall become effective and addressed to the Holders, in
form and substance customary for "comfort letters" delivered by independent
public accountants in connection with transactions such as those contemplated
by this Agreement.

  (d) PPR shall use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares covered
by the Registration Statement under such securities or blue sky laws of such
United States jurisdictions as any Holder reasonably requests to enable such
Holder to dispose of such shares owned by such Holder, provided that PPR will
not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify but for the
requirements of this paragraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any
jurisdiction where it is not otherwise subject to taxation or (iii) consent to
general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to so consent but for the requirements of this paragraph.

  (e) PPR shall furnish to each Holder such number of copies of a summary
prospectus or other prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such shares.

  (f) PPR shall notify on a timely basis each Holder at any time when a
prospectus relating to the PPR Class B Common Stock is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in
paragraph (a) of this Section, of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing
and, at the request of such Holder, prepare and furnish to such Holder a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
offerees of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing.

  (g) PPR shall make available for inspection by any Holder, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or
underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of PPR
(collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them
to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause PPR's officers,
directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records,
the "Information") reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection
with such Registration Statement. Any of the Information, which PPR determines
in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors
are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the
disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in the Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such
Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of
competent jurisdiction or (iii) such Information has been made generally
available to the public. The

                                     A-32
<PAGE>

Holder agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information
is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to PPR and allow
PPR, at PPR's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of the Information deemed confidential.

  (h) PPR shall provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same
entity and which may be PPR) for the PPR Class B Common Stock.

  (i) In connection with any registration of the PPR Class B Common Stock
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, PPR shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, its partners, members, in the case of a limited
liability company, beneficiaries, in the case of a trust, officers and
directors, each underwriter, broker or any other person acting on behalf of
such Holder and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing
persons within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several (or actions in respect thereof) to
which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement under which shares were registered under the Securities Act, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or otherwise
filed with the SEC, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
incident to registration or qualification of the PPR Class B Common Stock or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or, with respect to any prospectus,
necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under
which they were made not misleading, or any violation by PPR of the Securities
Act or state securities or blue sky laws applicable to PPR and relating to
action or inaction required of PPR in connection with such registration; and
shall reimburse such Holder, such partner, member, officer or director, such
underwriter, such broker or such other person acting on behalf of such Holder
and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that PPR shall
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment,
supplement or document incident to registration or qualification of any PPR
Class B Common Stock in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to PPR through an instrument duly executed by such
Holder or underwriter that states that it is specifically for use in the
preparation thereof.

  (j) In connection with any registration of the PPR Class B Common Stock
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder shall
indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set
forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section) PPR, each director of PPR,
each officer of PPR who shall sign such Registration Statement, each
underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of such Holder, such
person who controls any of the foregoing persons within the meaning of the
Securities Act and each other Holder under such Registration Statement with
respect to any statement or omission from such Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or otherwise
filed with the Commission, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
incident to registration or qualification of any PPR Class B Common Stock, if
such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to PPR or such underwriter through an instrument
duly executed by such Holder or underwriter that states that it is
specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement or
document; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be several,
not joint and several, among such Holders, and the maximum amount of liability
in respect of such indemnification shall be in proportion to and limited to,
in the case of each Holder, an amount equal to the net proceeds actually
received by such Holder from the sale of PPR Class B Common Stock effected
pursuant to such registration.

  (k) The indemnification required by this Section 6.2 will be made by
periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and
when bills are received or expenses incurred, subject to prompt refund in the
event any such payments are determined not to have been due and owing
hereunder.

                                     A-33

  (l) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 6.2, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to
the latter of the commencement of such action. In case any such action is
brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled
to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in
connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or
more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are
additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or
that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters
beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6.2, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall
reimburse such indemnified party and any person controlling such indemnified
party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the
indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the
indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6.2. No indemnifying party shall,
without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is
an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and
(ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability
or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

  (m) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the indemnified party or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling
person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of the PPR
Class B Common Stock.

  (n) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.2 is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party
with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to
herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss,
claim, damage or liability as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to among other things
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by an indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. PPR and the Holders agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were
determined by pro rata allocation or by other method of allocation which did
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the amount contributed by a Holder exceed the aggregate net
offering proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of such Holder's PPR
Class B Common Stock.

  Section 6.3 Access to Information and Properties. Subject to currently
existing contractual and legal restrictions applicable to PPR or to Delta or
any of their Subsidiaries, each of PPR and Delta shall, and shall cause each
of the PPR and Delta Subsidiaries to, afford to the consultants, accountants,
counsel, financial advisors and other representatives of PPR and Delta
reasonable access to, and permit them to make such inspections and
investigations (including, without limitation, environmental audits,
assessments and sub-surface investigations) as they may

                                     A-34
<PAGE>

reasonably require of, at mutually agreed upon times during normal business
hours during the period from the date of this Agreement through the effective
date of the Registration Statement, all their respective properties, books,
contracts, commitments and records (including, without limitation, the work
papers of independent accountants, if available and subject to the consent of
such independent accountants) and, during such period, PPR and Delta shall,
and shall cause each of the PPR and Delta Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to
the other (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and
other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of
federal or state securities laws and (ii) all other information concerning its
business, properties and personnel as the other may reasonably request.

to filing with the NYSE), fees and expenses of complying with securities and
blue sky laws, printing expenses, and fees and expenses of PPR's counsel and
accountants; provided, further, that all underwriting discounts, fees and
expenses of counsel for the Holders and selling commissions applicable to the
PPR Class B Common Stock, if any, shall be borne by the Holders in proportion
to the number of shares of PPR Class B Common Stock sold by such Holder.

  Section 6.8 Delta Senior Noteholders. Within thirty (30) days after Closing,
Delta shall provide written notice of the consummation of the transaction

related thereto and advise such holders of their right to require Delta to

  Section 6.9 Reasonable Best Efforts to Consummate the Exchange. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, PPR and Delta

other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to
consummate, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Exchange and the

that, to the extent reasonably requested by Delta or PPR, such Delta
Shareholder shall assist and cooperate with PPR and/or Delta in taking all
such actions which may be reasonable and necessary to consummate the Exchange,
including, without limitation, providing such information or documentation
that PPR shall reasonably require in connection with the issuance of shares
hereunder pursuant to

<PAGE>

exemptions from registration under the Securities Act or relevant state

promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to
minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on the transactions
contemplated hereby.

entitled to be indemnified under the Delaware General Corporation Law),
including but not limited to acts or omissions occurring in connection with
the approval of this Agreement, the filing of the Registration Statement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

  Section 6.13 Notification of Certain Matters. PPR shall use its reasonable
best efforts to give prompt notice to Delta, and Delta shall use its
reasonable best efforts to give prompt notice to PPR, of: (i) the occurrence,
or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of which it
is aware and which would be reasonably likely to cause (x) any representation
or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any
material respect or (y) any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this

any failure of PPR or Delta, as the case may be, to comply in a timely manner

real estate transfer Taxes) and related fees (including any penalties,
interest an additions to Tax) (collectively, "Transfer Taxes") incurred by any
party hereto in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be shared equally by Delta and PPR; provided,
however, that each Delta Stockholder shall pay and hold PPR and Delta harmless
from any Transfer Taxes and related penalties and additions that would not
have arisen but for the negligence of such Delta Stockholder. PPR and the
Delta Stockholders shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns,
reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of such
Transfer Tax laws.

                                     A-36
<PAGE>

insurance commitment or commitments with respect to all of the Delta Owned
Real Property and the PPR Owned Real Property, as the case may be, other than
those properties for which the owner already has title insurance. Delta and
PPR shall use their respective reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company
to issue the title commitments as promptly as feasible and, immediately upon
receipt thereof, shall deliver such title commitments to the other. To the
extent the recipient reasonably objects to any matter(s) reflected therein
other than Permitted Exceptions, or requests additional information with
respect thereto, the party delivering the title commitments shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company to modify and/or supplement the
commitments accordingly. Delta shall, and shall cause the Delta Subsidiaries
to, reasonably cooperate with PPR in the event that PPR undertakes to purchase
title insurance and/or order surveys with respect to any or all of the Delta
Real Property.

Companies and Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc. ("Metropolitan")
shall take all action within their respective power, and, for so long as they
are members of Dakota, LLC, shall cause Dakota, LLC to take all action within
its power, including but not limited to the voting of all shares of PPR Class
A Common Stock and PPR Class B Common Stock owned by them, required to cause
at least two of the directors on the Board of Directors of PPR not to be
"affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended) (all such directors hereinafter referred to as the
"Independent Directors") of Pohlad Companies or Metropolitan for so long as
Dakota, LLC, Pohlad Companies, Metropolitan or any of their affiliates,
collectively or individually, hold(s) a majority of the voting rights of the
outstanding capital stock of PPR. If Metropolitan transfers its membership
interests in Dakota, LLC, or any of the PPR capital stock which it is
acquiring pursuant to this Agreement, to PepsiCo or an affiliate of PepsiCo,
then Metropolitan shall cause such transferee to assume Metropolitan's
obligations under this Section 6.18 and Section 6.19 as a condition precedent

substitute or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or
purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any
transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, any "affiliate" (as such
term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended),
officer, director or employee (each an "Affiliate") of Pohlad Companies or
Metropolitan (each of the foregoing an "Affiliate Transaction") which
Affiliate Transaction, together with any related Affiliated Transaction(s),
involves aggregate consideration in excess of $500,000, unless such Affiliate
Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to PPR or the relevant PPR
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable
transaction by PPR or such PPR Subsidiary with an unrelated person and such
Affiliate Transaction shall receive the approval of a majority of the
Independent Directors. This Section 6.19 shall not apply to transactions
entered into in the course of business between an Affiliate of Metropolitan as
licensor and PPR or a PPR Subsidiary as licensee.

  opinion of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, counsel to the PPR Special Committee,
  in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Delta Stockholders,
  dated the date of Closing, subject to customary qualifications and

  hereby, to the effect that PPR is in good standing under the laws of

  been duly authorized, validly issued, is not subject to further assessment,
  and has been issued pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration
  under the Securities Act.

  have received an opinion of Arthur Andersen LLP, or another nationally-
  recognized independent accountant at PPR's election (the "Accountant"), in
  form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Delta Stockholders, dated
  the date of Closing, substantially to the effect that on the basis of
  facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinion which are
  consistent with the state of facts existing as of the date of Closing, for
  federal income tax purposes:

      (i) The Exchange should qualify as a nontaxable transfer of property
    by Exchanging Stockholders in exchange for PPR Class B Common Stock
    under Section 351 of the Code.

      (ii) No gain or loss should be recognized by the Exchanging
    Stockholders upon the exchange of the Delta Stock solely for PPR Class
    B Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange.

      (iii) If a holder of Delta Stock receives only PPR Class B Common
    Stock in the Exchange, such holder's basis in the PPR Class B Common
    Stock received in the exchange should be the same as the basis of Delta
    Stock surrendered in the Exchange assuming there are no liabilities
    assumed by PPR in connection therewith.

      (iv) The holding period of the PPR Class B Common Stock received by
    an Exchanging Stockholder pursuant to the Exchange should include the
    period during which Delta Stock surrendered in the Exchange was held,
    provided that Delta Stock surrendered was a capital asset on the date
    of the Exchange.

    In rendering such opinion, the Accountant may receive and rely upon
  representations from PPR, Delta, Dakota and the Delta Stockholders.

  Section, paragraphs 3 and 4, (ii) the Fifth Section, (iii) the Sixth
  Section, paragraph 3, and (iv) the Seventh Section.

  warranties of Delta and the Delta Stockholders contained in this Agreement

  Closing as if made on and as of such date (other than representations and
  warranties which address matters only as of a certain date which shall be
  true and correct in all material respects as of such certain date), in each
  case except as contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, and PPR shall
  have received a certificate signed on behalf of Delta by its Chief
  Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer to such effect.

    (b) Consents. The consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations set
  forth on Schedule 7.3 (b) hereto shall have been obtained.

  warranties of Dakota and Pohlad Companies contained in the Exchange
  Agreement by and among PPR, Dakota and Pohlad Companies (the "Dakota
  Exchange Agreement") shall be true and correct in all material respects
  without respect to any waiver of or modification to such representations
  and warranties by the parties to the Dakota Exchange Agreement.

in connection with the Exchange by the stockholders of PPR:

    (a) by mutual written consent of PPR, Delta and all of the Delta
  Stockholders;

    (b) by either PPR on the one hand, or Delta or the Delta Stockholders on
  the other hand, if the other party shall have failed to comply in any
  material respect with any of its covenants or agreements contained in this
  Agreement required to be complied with prior to the date of such
  termination, which failure to comply has not been cured within five (5)
  business days following receipt by such other party of written notice of
  such failure to comply; provided, however, that if any such breach is
  curable by the breaching party through the exercise of the breaching
  party's best efforts and for so long as the breaching party shall be so
  using its best efforts to cure such breach, the non-breaching party may not
  terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph;

    (c) by either PPR on the one hand, or Delta or the Delta Stockholders on
  the other hand, if there has been (i) a breach by the other party of any

  has the effect of making such representation or warranty not true and
  correct in all material respects or (ii) a breach by the other party of any
  representation or warranty that is qualified as to materiality, in each
  case which breach has not been cured within five (5) business days
  following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of the breach or
  except as contemplated or permitted by this Agreement; provided, however,
  that if any such breach is curable by the breaching party through the
  exercise of the breaching party's best efforts and for so long as the
  breaching party shall be so using its best efforts to cure such breach, the
  non-breaching party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
  paragraph;

    (d) by PPR on the one hand, or Delta or the Delta Stockholders holding,
  in aggregate, a majority of the Delta Stock on the other hand, if the
  Exchange has not been effected on or prior to the close of business on
  November 30, 1999 (the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that the
  right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) shall not
  be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations
  contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the
  failure of the Exchange to have occurred on or prior to the aforesaid date;

    (e) by PPR on the one hand, or Delta or the Delta Stockholders on the
  other hand, if the stockholders of PPR do not approve this Agreement and
  the transactions contemplated hereby, including, the Share Issuance, the
  Exchange and the PPR Charter Amendment at the PPR Stockholder Meeting or
  any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

    (f) by PPR on the one hand, or Delta or the Delta Stockholders on the
  other hand, if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a
  federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the
  transactions contemplated hereby; or (ii) there shall be any final action
  taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or
  issued or deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby by any
  Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the transactions
  contemplated hereby illegal.

  The right of any party hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 8.1 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto, any person
controlling any such party or any of their respective officers or directors,
whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement.

  Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by either PPR, Delta or the Delta Stockholders, as provided in
Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and there shall be no
liability hereunder on the part of the Delta Stockholders, Delta, PPR, or
their respective officers or directors (except for the entirety of Section
6.7, which shall survive the termination); provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any party hereto from any
liability for any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement or the breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement; provided,
further, that in addition to any other remedies available to any party under
this Agreement or at law or in equity, in the event that the Exchange does not
occur as a direct result of breach of this Agreement by a party hereto, the
breaching party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby by the non-breaching
party including, but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of all legal,
accounting, financial and other advisers.

  Section 8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto
at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection
with the Exchange by the stockholders of PPR, but, after any such approval, no
amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such
stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto.

  Section 8.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto may
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other
acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions contained herein which may legally be waived. Any agreement on the
part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

  Section 9.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of
the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts
of laws thereof. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND

  Section 9.7 Assignment. Except for the registration provisions set forth in
Section 6.2, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether

  Section 9.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or
public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any
manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term
or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent
possible.

  Section 9.9 Enforcement of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of
the United States or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being in
addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled under this
Agreement at law or in equity. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States District Court located in the State of Delaware (unless such courts
assert no jurisdiction, in which case each party consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware) for any actions, suits or
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (and each party hereto agrees not to commence any action,
suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts), and further agrees
that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered
mail to the addresses set forth herein shall be effective service of process
for any such action, suit or proceeding brought against the each party in such
court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any
objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out
of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in the United
States District Courts located in the State of Delaware (unless such courts
assert no jurisdiction, in which case each party consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware). Each party hereby
further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or to
claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in
any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

  Section 9.10 Rule of Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that
each has negotiated and reviewed the terms of this Agreement, assisted by such
counsel as they desired, and has contributed to its revisions. The parties
further agree that the rule of construction that any ambiguities are resolved
against the drafting party will be subordinated to the principle that the
terms and provisions of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to all
parties and not in favor of or against any party.

  Section 9.11 Effect of Execution. The execution of this Agreement by each of
the Delta Stockholders shall be deemed to be: (a) a consent to the transaction

consideration, such other or additional documents, instruments, agreements or
consents necessary to effectuate the foregoing transaction.

Delta Stockholders agree that Pohlad Companies may, at Pohlad Companies' sole
discretion, assign its rights under the Amended and Restated Shareholder's
Agreement dated as of September 23, 1993 to PPR or Delta. The Delta

enter into this Agreement; and

  WHEREAS, a special committee of the Board of Directors of PPR (the "PPR

                                  ARTICLE III

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PPR

  PPR represents and warrants to Pohlad and Dakota as follows:

  Section 3.1 Organization, Standing and Power. PPR is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease
or operate its properties, and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. Each Subsidiary of PPR (the "PPR Subsidiaries") is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which it is organized and has the requisite corporate (in the case of a
Subsidiary that is a corporation) or other power and authority to own, lease
or operate its properties, and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. PPR and each of the PPR Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do
business, and are in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character
of their properties owned or held under lease or the nature of their
activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be
so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect on PPR. For purposes of this Agreement (a) "Material Adverse
Change" or "Material Adverse Effect" means, when used with respect to PPR or
Dakota, as the case may be, any change or effect that is materially adverse to
the business, assets, liabilities, results of operation or condition
(financial or otherwise) of PPR and the PPR Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or
Dakota and the Dakota Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as the case may be, and
(b) "Subsidiary" means any corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture or other legal entity of which PPR or Dakota, as the
case may be (either alone or through or together with any other Subsidiary),
owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the stock or other equity
interests the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election
of the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other legal entity.
For the purposes of this Agreement, except where specifically stated
otherwise, "Dakota" and "Dakota Subsidiaries" shall mean (x) Dakota and its
subsidiaries, respectively, for the period prior to the DakBev Merger and (y)
DakBev and its subsidiaries, respectively, for the period after the DakBev
Merger.

  Section 3.2 Capital Structure.

  (a) Capital Stock of PPR. The authorized capital stock of PPR consists of
40,000,000 shares, of which 5,000,000 shares are designated as PPR Class A
Common Stock and 35,000,000 are designated as PPR Class B Common Stock. As of
the date hereof, PPR has issued and outstanding 5,000,000 shares of PPR Class
A Common Stock and 16,690,000 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock. All
outstanding shares of PPR Class A Common Stock and PPR Class B Common Stock
have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. Except as set forth in PPR's Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 1998, and except for option grants under the Pepsi-Cola Puerto
Rico Bottling Company Qualified Plan dated December 30, 1996 and the Pepsi-
Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company Non-Qualified Plan dated December 30, 1996
(collectively, the "PPR Option Plans") in the ordinary course of business
since December 31, 1998, PPR has no outstanding securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock, no contracts, rights, options, warrants or
other agreements or commitments to purchase or otherwise issue any shares of
its capital stock or securities convertible into or

                                      B-7
<PAGE>

exchangeable therefor, or any shares reserved for issuance under any stock
option, employee benefit or other plans or otherwise. No holder of any
security of PPR is entitled to any preemptive or similar rights to purchase
securities from PPR.

  (b) Capital Stock of PPR After Exchange and Delta Acquisition. On the date
of Closing, upon completion of the Exchange and the Delta Acquisition, (i) the
authorized capital stock of PPR will consist of 150,000,000 shares, of which
5,000,000 shares will be designated as PPR Class A Common Stock and
145,000,000 will be designated as PPR Class B Common Stock, and (ii) PPR will
have issued and outstanding 5,000,000 shares of PPR Class A Common Stock and
81,760,006 shares of PPR Class B Common Stock, not including any shares of PPR
Class B Common Stock that PPR is permitted to issue by this Agreement (other
than in connection with the Delta Acquisition) during the period from the date
of this Agreement through the date of Closing. Assuming that the Closing were
to occur on the date hereof, immediately after such Closing, the issued and
outstanding PPR Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock would be owned
as set forth on Schedule 3.2(b).

execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the Exchange,
the formation of DakBev, the DakBev Merger, the formation of Dakota, LLC, the
Pohlad Contribution and the P-PRT Contribution.

  Section 5.4 Entire Interest. The 1,000 shares of Dakota Stock owned by
Pohlad constitutes Pohlad's entire ownership interest in Dakota, and Pohlad
has no rights to acquire any additional shares of Dakota Stock or any other
equity interest in Dakota. At the Closing, Pohlad shall have all requisite
power and authority, including voting control of Dakota, LLC, necessary to
cause Dakota, LLC to exchange the DakBev Membership Units for the Exchange
Consideration as set forth in Article II hereof.

  Section 5.5 Accredited Investor Status; PPR Information. Pohlad is an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Exchange Act.

  Section 5.6 Unregistered Securities; Investment Intent. The shares of PPR
Class B Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or
relevant state securities laws pursuant to exemptions from registration under
the Securities Act and such laws. PPR's reliance upon such exemptions is
predicated in part on Pohlad's representations to PPR as contained herein. The
shares of PPR Class B Common Stock are being acquired for the account of
Dakota, LLC and for investment and without the intention of reselling,
transferring, or redistributing the same. At the time Dakota, LLC receives
such shares, it will have no agreement for the transfer or disposition of any
of such shares.

  Section 5.7 Restrictions on Transfer. Pohlad acknowledges that PPR will
place a restrictive legend on the certificate(s) representing the shares of
PPR Class B Common Stock received by Dakota, LLC pursuant to this Agreement,
containing substantially the following language:

  The securities represented by this certificate were issued without
  registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
  and without registration under state securities laws, in reliance upon
  exemptions contained in the Act and such laws. No transfer of these
  securities or any interest therein may be made except pursuant to
  effective registration statements under said laws unless this
  corporation has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that
  such transfer or disposition does not require registration under said
  laws and, for any sales under Rule 144 of the Act, such evidence as it
  shall reasonably request for compliance with that rule.

  PPR will place a stop transfer order on the certificate(s) representing the
shares to assure compliance with this Agreement and the matters referenced
above.

filing of the Registration Statement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

reasonable best efforts to give prompt notice to PPR, of: (i) the occurrence,
or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of which it
is aware and which would be reasonably likely to cause (x) any representation
or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any
material respect or (y) any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this
Agreement not to be complied with or satisfied in all material respects, (ii)
any failure of PPR or Dakota, as the case may be, to comply in a timely manner
with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it hereunder or (iii) any change or event which would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on PPR or Dakota, as the
case may be; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to
this Section 7.11 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available
hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

  Section 7.12 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility as between PPR and Pohlad for certain Tax matters
following the Closing.

    (a) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing. The parties acknowledge
  that the qualified subchapter S subsidiary election currently in effect for
  Dakota will be terminated as of the consummation of the DakBev Merger. The
  income of Dakota, and the Dakota Subsidiaries, and DakBev, and the DakBev
  LLCs, for the period commencing January 1, 1999 and ending as of the date
  of the Closing will be included in the Tax Return of Pohlad (the "Pohlad
  Return"). The income generated by DakBev following the date of Closing will
  be included in the PPR Tax Return.

    (b) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

      (i) PPR and Pohlad shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent
    reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing
    of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section and any proceedings. Such
    cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's
    request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably
    relevant to any proceedings and making employees available on a
    mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
    explanation of any material provided hereunder. PPR and Pohlad agree
    (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters
    pertinent to Dakota, the Dakota Subsidiaries, DakBev, and the DakBev
    LLCs relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing until
    the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent
    notified

                                     B-34
<PAGE>

    by PPR or Pohlad, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable
    periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into
    with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable
    written notice prior to the transferring, destroying or discarding of
    any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, PPR or
    Pohlad, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take
    possession of such books and records.

      (ii) PPR and Pohlad further agree, upon request, to use their best
    efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Government
    Entity or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or
    eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to,
    with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

      (iii) PPR and Pohlad further agree, upon request, to provide the
    other party with all information that either party may be required to
    report pursuant to (S) 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Regulations
    promulgated thereunder.

    (c) Tax Distribution. On or prior to the date of Closing, Pohlad shall
  deliver to PPR a statement of the Estimated Tax Liability and Dakota shall
  make a distribution to Pohlad in such amount. For purposes of this
  Agreement, the term "Estimated Tax Liability" shall mean an amount equal to
  45% of the estimated taxable income of Dakota and DakBev for the period
  from January 1, 1999 through the date of Closing. In the event the amount
  of taxable income: (i) on the Pohlad Return allocable to Dakota and DakBev
  or as may be redetermined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") upon
  audit, differs from the amount of taxable income on the statement delivered
  to PPR pursuant to this Section 7.12(c), Pohlad shall pay (in the event the
  taxable income allocable to Dakota and DakBev on the Pohlad Return, or as
  redetermined by IRS, is less) to PPR, or PPR shall pay to Pohlad (in the
  event the taxable income allocable to Dakota and DakBev in the Pohlad
  Return, or as redetermined by IRS, is greater) 45% of the difference in
  taxable income allocable to Dakota and DakBev within ten (10) days from the
  date the Pohlad Return is filed or the redetermination becomes final and
  nonappealable (as the case may be).

    (d) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration,
  value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate
  transfer Taxes) and related fees (including any penalties, interest and
  additions to Tax) (collectively, the "Transfer Taxes") incurred in
  connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
  shall be shared equally by PPR and Dakota, LLC; provided, however, that PPR
  shall pay and hold Dakota, LLC harmless from any such penalties and
  additions that would not have arisen but for the negligence of PPR and
  Dakota, LLC shall pay and hold PPR harmless from any such penalties and
  additions that would not have arisen but for the negligence of Dakota, LLC.
  PPR and Dakota, LLC shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns,
  reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of such
  Transfer Tax laws.

  Section 7.13 Treatment of Dakota Phantom Stock Plan Participants. The
existing Dakota phantom stock plan will be amended, promptly following the
Closing, to increase the value of the participant's interest to reflect the
value of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and to convert the
rights of participants under such phantom stock plan to a combination of PPR
Class B Common Stock and/or options to acquire PPR Class B Common Stock.

  Section 7.14 Title Commitments. Dakota and PPR shall, promptly (and in no
event more than ten (10) days) after the date hereof, order from a title
company reasonably acceptable to the other (the "Title Company") a title
insurance commitment or commitments with respect to all of the Dakota Owned
Real Property and the PPR Owned Real Property, as the case may be, other than
those properties for which the owner already has title insurance. Dakota and
PPR shall use their respective reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company
to issue such title commitments as promptly as feasible and, immediately upon
receipt thereof, shall deliver the title commitments to the other. To the
extent the recipient reasonably objects to any matter(s) reflected therein,
other than Permitted Exceptions, or requests additional information with
respect thereto, the party delivering the title commitments shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company to modify and/or supplement the
commitments accordingly. Dakota shall, and shall cause the Dakota Subsidiaries
to, reasonably cooperate with PPR in the event that PPR undertakes to purchase
title insurance and/or order surveys with respect to any or all of the Dakota
Real Property.

subject to the fulfillment at or prior to the Closing of the following
additional conditions, each of which may be waived by Dakota, LLC in writing:

    (a) Performance of Obligations; Representations and Warranties. PPR shall
  have performed in all material respects each of its agreements contained in
  this Agreement required to be performed on or prior to the date of Closing,
  each of the representations and warranties of PPR contained in this
  Agreement that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct on and
  as of the date of Closing as if made on and as of such date (other than
  representations and warranties which address matters only as of a certain
  date which shall be true and correct as of such certain date) and each of
  the representations and warranties that is not so qualified shall be

                                     B-36
<PAGE>

  true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of Closing
  as if made on and as of such date (other than representations and
  warranties which address matters only as of a certain date which shall be
  true and correct in all material respects as of such certain date), in each
  case except as contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, and Dakota, LLC
  and Pohlad shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of PPR by its
  Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer to such effect.

    (b) Dakota, LLC and Pohlad shall have received an opinion of Willkie Farr
  & Gallagher, counsel to the PPR Special Committee, in form and substance
  reasonably satisfactory to Dakota, LLC and Pohlad, dated the date of
  Closing, subject to customary qualifications and limitations for opinions
  given in transactions of the kind contemplated hereby, to the effect that
  the PPR Class B Common Stock to be issued in the Exchange has been duly
  authorized, validly issued, is not subject to further assessment, and has
  been issued pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the
  Securities Act.

    (c) The Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as
  Exhibit B shall have been executed and delivered to Pohlad Companies and
  Dakota, LLC by PPR.

    (d) The consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations set forth on
  Schedule 8.2(e) hereto shall have been obtained.

    (e) Tax Opinion. Pohlad and Dakota, LLC shall have received an opinion of
  Arthur Andersen LLP or another nationally recognized independent accountant
  at PPR's election (the "Accountant") in form and substance reasonably
  satisfactory to Pohlad and Dakota, LLC, dated the date of Closing,
  substantially to the effect that on the basis of facts, representations and
  assumptions set forth in such opinion which are consistent with the state
  of facts existing as of the date of Closing, for federal income tax
  purposes:

      (i) The Exchange should qualify as a nontaxable transfer of property
    by Pohlad and Dakota, LLC in exchange for PPR Class B Common Stock
    under Section 351 of the Code.

      (ii) No gain or loss should be recognized by Pohlad and Dakota, LLC
    upon the exchange of the Dakota Stock or the DakBev Membership Units
    solely for PPR Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange.

      (iii) If Pohlad and/or Dakota receive only PPR Class B Common Stock
    in the Exchange, such holder's basis in the PPR Class B Common Stock
    received in the Exchange should be the same as the basis of the Dakota
    Stock or DakBev Membership Units surrendered in the Exchange reduced by
    any liabilities assumed by PPR.

      (iv) The holding period of the PPR Class B Common Stock received by
    Pohlad and Dakota pursuant to the Exchange should include the period
    during which the Dakota Stock and DakBev Membership Units surrendered
    in the Exchange were held, provided that Delta Stock or the DakBev
    Membership Units surrendered were a capital asset on the date of the
    Exchange.

    In rendering such opinion, the Accountant may receive and rely upon
  representations from PPR, Dakota, Pohlad and Dakota, LLC.

at or prior to the date of Closing of the following additional conditions,

  warranties by the parties to the Delta Exchange Agreement.

                       TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

  Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Closing, whether before or after any approval of the matters presented
in connection with the Exchange by the stockholders of PPR:

    (a) by mutual written consent of PPR, Pohlad and Dakota.

    (b) by PPR on the one hand, or Dakota or Pohlad on the other hand, if the
  other party shall have failed to comply in any material respect with any of
  its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement required to be
  complied with prior to the date of such termination, which failure to
  comply has not been cured within five (5) business days following receipt
  by such breaching party of written notice of such failure to comply;
  provided, however, that if any such breach is curable by the breaching
  party through the exercise of the breaching party's best efforts and for so
  long as the breaching party shall be so using its best efforts to cure such
  breach, the non-breaching parties may not terminate this Agreement pursuant
  to this paragraph;

    (c) by either PPR on the one hand, or Dakota or Pohlad on the other hand,
  if there has been (i) a breach by the other party of any representation or
  warranty that is not qualified as to materiality which has the effect of
  making such representation or warranty not true and correct in all material
  respects or (ii) a breach by the other party of any representation or
  warranty that is qualified as to materiality, in each case which breach has
  not been cured within five (5) business days following receipt by the
  breaching party of written notice of the breach or except as contemplated
  or permitted by this Agreement; provided, however, that if any such breach
  is curable by the breaching party through the exercise of the breaching
  party's best efforts and for so long as the breaching party shall be so
  using its best efforts to cure such breach, the non-breaching party may not
  terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph;

                                     B-38
<PAGE>

    (d) by PPR on the one hand, or Dakota or Pohlad on the other hand, if the
  Exchange has not been effected on or prior to the close of business on
  November 30, 1999 (the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that the
  right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) shall not
  be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations
  contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the
  failure of the Exchange to have occurred on or prior to the aforesaid date;

    (e) by PPR on the one hand, or Dakota or Pohlad on the other hand, if the
  stockholders of PPR do not approve this Agreement and the transactions
  contemplated hereby, including the Share Issuance, the Exchange and the PPR
  Charter Amendment at the PPR Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or
  postponement thereof; or

    (f) by PPR on the one hand, or Dakota or Pohlad on the other hand, if:
  (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state
  court in effect preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated
  hereby; or (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute,
  rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed
  applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby by any Governmental
  Entity which would make consummation of the transactions contemplated
  hereby illegal.

  The right of any party hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.1 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto, any person
controlling any such party or any of their respective officers or directors,
whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement.

  Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by either PPR, Dakota or Pohlad as provided in Section 9.1, this
Agreement shall forthwith terminate and there shall be no liability hereunder
on the part of Dakota, Pohlad, DakBev, Dakota, LLC, PPR, or their respective
officers, managers or directors (except for the entirety of Section 7.6, which
shall survive the termination); provided, however, that nothing contained in
this Section 9.2 shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any
willful breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or
the breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement; provided, further,
that in addition to any other remedies available to any party under this
Agreement or at law or in equity, in the event that the Exchange does not
occur as a direct result of breach of this Agreement by a party hereto, the
breaching party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby by the non-breaching
party, including, but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of all legal,
accounting, financial and other advisers.

  Section 9.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto
at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection
with the Exchange by the stockholders of PPR, but, after any such approval, no
amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such
stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto.

  Section 9.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto may
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other
acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions contained herein which may legally be waived. Any agreement on the
part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Special Committee of the Board of Directors

Carretera 865, Km. 0.4
Barrio Candelaria Arenas
Toa Baja, Puerto Rico 00949

     Attention:Diego J. Suarez, Jr.
                Basil K. Vasiliou

Gentlemen:

  We understand that Pepsi-Cola Puerto Rico Bottling Company ("PPO"), Delta
Beverage Group, Inc. ("Delta") and Dakota Beverage Company, Inc. ("Dakota")
are contemplating entering into Exchange Agreements (the "Agreements")
pursuant to which PPO will acquire Delta and Dakota as wholly-owned
subsidiaries (the "Acquisitions"). We further understand that at the effective
time of the Acquisitions, PPO will issue (i) 46,760,000 class B common shares
in exchange for the outstanding common shares of Dakota, and (ii) 18,310,006
class B common shares for the outstanding common shares of Delta. The
aggregate number of class B common shares issued by PPO in exchange for the
aggregate number of shares of common stock of Dakota and Delta is hereinafter
the "Exchange Ratio". You have provided us with a copy of the draft Agreements
in substantially final form.

  You have asked us to render our opinion as to whether the Exchange Ratio is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of PPO.

  In the course of our analyses for rendering this opinion, we have:

  1. reviewed the draft Agreements;

  2. reviewed PPO's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended
     September 30, 1996 through 1998 and the three months ended December 31,
     1998, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March
     31, 1999;

  3. reviewed Delta's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended
     December 31, 1996 through 1998, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
     for the period ended March 31, 1999;

  4. reviewed Dakota's audited financial statements for the fiscal years
     ended December 31, 1996 through 1998, and its quarterly unaudited
     financial statements for the period ended March 31, 1999;

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

  5.  reviewed certain operating and financial information, including
      projections (which projections were updated during the course of our
      review), provided to us by the senior management ("Management") of PPO,
      Delta, and Dakota, all of whom are the same individuals, relating to the
      respective businesses and prospects;

  6.  met with certain members of Management to discuss the operations,
      historical financial statements and future prospects of PPO, Delta and
      Dakota;

  7.  reviewed, and discussed with Management, combination benefits expected
      to result from the Acquisitions;

  8.  reviewed with Management and their tax advisors the status of NOLs and
      other tax credits at PPO and Delta, and the effect of the Acquisitions
      on such;

  9.  reviewed certain historical prices, trading volumes and valuation
      parameters of the class B common shares of PPO;

  10. reviewed certain publicly available financial data, stock market data
      and valuation parameters of companies which we deemed generally
      comparable to PPO, Delta and Dakota;

  11. reviewed the financial terms of certain similar merger and acquisition
      transactions which we deemed generally comparable to the Acquisitions
      or otherwise relevant to our analysis; and

  12. conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations,
      as we deemed appropriate.

  In the course of our review, we have relied upon and assumed, without
independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the updated
financial and other projections provided to us by Management. With respect to
PPO's, Delta's and Dakota's projected financial results that could be achieved
upon consummation of the Acquisitions, we have assumed that they have been
reasonably prepared on the best currently available estimates and judgments of
Management as to the expected future performance of PPO, Delta and Dakota,
respectively. We have not assumed any responsibility for the independent
verification of any such information or of the projections provided to us and
we have further relied upon the assurances of Management that they are unaware
of any facts that would make the information or projections provided to us
incomplete or misleading. In arriving at our opinion, we have not performed or
obtained any independent appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) of PPO, Delta and Dakota, nor have we been furnished with any such
appraisals. Additionally, at your direction, we have not evaluated the
fairness of each of the Acquisitions separately. Our opinion is necessarily
based on economic, market and other conditions, and the information made
available to us, as of the date hereof. We have assumed that each of the
Acquisitions (i) will qualify as a tax-free "reorganization" within the
meaning of Section 386(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
(ii) will be accounted for as a combination of entities under common control
under United States generally accepted accounting principles.

  We have acted as a financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board
of Directors of PPO in connection with the Acquisitions and will receive a fee
for such services, a substantial portion of which is subject to consummation
of the Acquisitions. In the ordinary course of business, Bear Stearns may
actively trade or hold the equity securities of PPO or the debt securities of
Delta for its own account or for the account of its customers and,
accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

  It is understood that this letter is intended for the benefit and use of the
Special Committee of the Board of Directors of PPO and does not constitute a
recommendation to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of PPO or
any holders of PPO common stock as to how to vote in connection with the
Acquisitions. This opinion does not address PPO's underlying business decision
to pursue the Acquisitions or the price or the range of prices at which shares
of common stock of PPO may trade subsequent to the consummation of the
Acquisitions. This letter is not to be used for any other purpose, or
reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time, in whole or in
part, without our prior written consent; provided, however, that this letter
may be included in its entirety in any proxy statement/prospectus to be
distributed to the holders of PPO common stock in connection with the
Acquisitions.

                                      C-2

  Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that as of the date
hereof the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
shareholders of PPO. However, our opinion has no applicability to P-PR
Transfer, LLP.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          BEAR, STEARNS & CO. INC.

                              PepsiAmericas, Inc.

                               Stock Option Plan

                                   SECTION 1

                                    GENERAL

  1.1. Purpose. The PepsiAmericas, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
has been established by PepsiAmericas, Inc. (the "Company") to (i) attract and
retain persons eligible to participate in the Plan; (ii) motivate
Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals;
(iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with
those of other similar companies; and (iv) further identify Participants'
interests with those of the Company's other shareholders through compensation
that is based on the Company's common stock; and thereby promote the long-term
financial interest of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including the growth
in value of the Company's equity and enhancement of long-term shareholder
return.

  1.2. Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the
Eligible Individuals those persons who will be granted one or more Awards
under the Plan, and thereby become "Participants" in the Plan. In the
discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted
under the provisions of the Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a
Participant. Awards may be granted as alternatives to or replacement of awards
outstanding under the Plan, or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or
a Subsidiary (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or
a portion of which is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary).

  1.3. Operation, Administration, and Definitions. The operation and
administration of the Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 3 (relating to operation and
administration). Capitalized terms in the plan shall be defined as set forth
in the Plan (including the definition provisions of Section 7 of the Plan).

                                   SECTION 2

                                    OPTIONS

  2.1. Definitions.

  (a) The grant of an "Option" entitles the Participant to purchase shares of
      Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Options
      granted under this Section 2 may be either Incentive Stock Options
      ("ISOs") or Non-Qualified Options ("NQOs"), as determined in the
      discretion of the Committee.

  (b)  An "ISO" is an Option that is intended to satisfy the requirements
       applicable to an "incentive stock option" described in section 422(b)
       of the Code. ISO grants may be awarded only to Eligible Employees.

  (c)  An "NQO" is an Option that is not intended to be an "incentive stock
       option" as that term is described in section 422(b) of the Code. NQO
       grants may be awarded to any Eligible Individual.

  2.2. Exercise Price. The "Exercise Price" of each Option granted under this
Section 2 shall be established by the Committee or shall be determined by a
method established by the Committee at the time the Option is granted; except
that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any ISO granted to any 10% or more
shareholder of the Company must be at an option price of at least 110% of the
Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Option.

  2.3. Exercise. An Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms
and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee.

                                      D-3
<PAGE>

  2.4. Payment of Option Exercise Price. The payment of the Exercise Price of
an Option granted under this Section 2 shall be subject to the following:

  (a)  Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 2.4, the full
       Exercise Price for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any
       Option shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the
       case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and
       described in paragraph 2.4(c), payment may be made as soon as
       practicable after the exercise).

  (b) The Exercise Price shall be payable in cash, cashier's check or by
      tendering, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation,
      shares of Stock acceptable to the Committee, and valued at Fair Market
      Value as of the day of exercise, or such other consideration, including
      a combination of payment methods. Any other method of payment which the
      Board or the Committee deems appropriate on the date of such exercise
      may also be used.

  (c) A Participant may elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of
      an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of
      Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of
      the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale
      proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding
      resulting from such exercise.

  2.5. Settlement of Award. Shares of Stock delivered pursuant to the exercise
of an option shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Committee may establish in the applicable Award
Agreement. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such conditions,
restrictions and contingencies with respect to shares of Stock acquired
pursuant to the exercise of an Option as the Committee determines to be
desirable.

  2.6. Automatic Option Grants to Outside Directors. Upon the conclusion of
each regular annual meeting of the Company's shareholders held after the
Effective Date, each director serving on the Board who is not an Eligible
Employee, and excluding directors who serve on the Board as representatives of
PepsiCo or Pohlad Companies, shall receive an NQO covering 1,000 shares of
stock. Such NQO grants are immediately vested and fully exercisable. The
exercise price shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of issuance. Options
to outside directors under this Section 2.6 shall terminate on the earliest of
(a) the 10th anniversary of the date of grant, (b) the date three months after
the termination of such director's service for any reason other than death or
disability or (c) the date one year after the termination of such director's
service because of death or total and permanent disability.

                                   SECTION 3

                         OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION

  3.1. Effective Date. Subject to the approval of the shareholders of the
Company, the Plan shall be effective as of September 3, 1999 (the "Effective
Date"); provided, however, that to the extent that Awards are granted under
the Plan prior to its approval by shareholders, the Awards shall be contingent
on approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan shall be
unlimited in duration and, in the event of Plan termination, shall remain in
effect as long as any Awards under it are outstanding; provided, however,
that, to the extent required by the Code, no ISO may be granted under the Plan
on a date that is more than ten years from the date the Plan is adopted or, if
earlier, the date the Plan is approved by shareholders and, further, no ISO
may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date the Award is
granted, or, in the case of options granted to 10% or greater shareholders of
the Company, after the expiration of five years from the date the option is
granted.

  3.2. Shares Subject to Plan. The shares of Stock for which Awards may be
granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

  (a)  Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 3.2, the
       maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to
       participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to
       4,000,000 shares of Stock.

                                      D-4
<PAGE>

  (b)  To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award are not delivered
       to a Participant or beneficiary because the Award is forfeited or
       canceled, or the shares of Stock are not delivered because the Award is
       settled in cash or used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding
       obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for
       purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available
       for delivery under the Plan.

  (c)  If the exercise price of any stock option granted under the Plan is
       satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the Company (by either
       actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares of Stock
       issued net of the shares of Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered
       for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock
       available for delivery under the Plan.

  (d)  Options granted hereunder shall be treated as ISOs under Code Section
       422 only to the extent that the aggregate fair market value
       (determined at the time of grant) of Shares exercisable for the first
       time by the Participant during any calendar year, in combination with
       shares first exercisable under all other plans of the Company and its
       Subsidiaries or affiliates, does not exceed $100,000, with any options
       or portions of options in excess of such limit (according to the order
       in which they were granted) being treated as NQOs.

  (e)  In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company
       (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split,
       extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
       consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination of exchange of shares),
       the Committee shall adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or
       potential benefits of the Awards and to prevent dilution and maintain
       the proportion and cost of the Stock subject to the Option Awards.
       Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and
       kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment
       of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii)
       adjustment of the Exercise Price of outstanding Options; and (iv) any
       other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable.

  (f)  The maximum number of shares of stock subject to Options granted to an
       Eligible Employee hereunder in any calendar year shall be limited to
       250,000, except that this limit shall not apply to an Eligible
       Employee in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her service
       as an employee first commences.

  3.3. General Restrictions. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts
under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

  (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall
       have no liability to deliver any shares of Stock under the Plan or
       make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such
       delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws
       (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act
       of 1933), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange
       or similar entity.

  (b)  To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock
       certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance
       may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not
       prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock
       exchange.

  3.4. Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan are subject to
withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the
delivery of any shares or other benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the
applicable withholding obligations. The Committee, in its discretion, and
subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the
occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be
satisfied through cash payment by the Participant, through the surrender of
shares of Stock which the Participant already owns, or through the surrender
of shares of Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the
Plan.

  3.5. Use of Shares. Subject to the overall limitation on the number of
shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Committee may use
available shares of Stock as the form of payment for compensation, grants or
rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the
Company or a Subsidiary, including the plans and arrangements of the Company
or a Subsidiary assumed in business combinations.

                                      D-5
<PAGE>

  3.6. Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. An Award may provide the
Participant with the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent
payments with respect to Stock subject to the Award (both before and after the
Stock subject to the Award is earned, vested, or acquired), which payments may
be either made currently or credited to an account for the Participant, and
may be settled in cash or Stock as determined by the Committee. Any such
settlements, and any such crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents or
reinvestment in shares of Stock, may be subject to such conditions,
restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish, including the
reinvestment of such credited amounts in Stock equivalents.

  3.7. Payments. Awards may be settled in any of the methods described in
Section 2.4. Any Award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be subject
to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall
determine. The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award
payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may
include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest, or dividend
equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred Stock
equivalents. Each Subsidiary shall be liable for payment of cash due under the
Plan with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are
attributable to the services rendered for that Subsidiary by the Participant.
Any disputes relating to liability of a Subsidiary for cash payments shall be
resolved by the Committee.

  3.8. Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards
under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

  3.9. Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each
election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person
entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification, or
revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee at such
times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.

  3.10. Agreement With Company. An Award under the Plan shall be subject to
such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, prescribe. The terms and conditions of any
Award to any Participant shall be reflected in such form of written document
as is determined by the Committee. A copy of such document shall be provided
to the Participant. The Participant shall sign a copy of such document, which
shall be referred to in the Plan as an "Award Agreement".

  3.11. Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to
be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its Board,
or by action of one or more members of the Board (including a committee of the
Board) who are duly authorized to act for the Board, or (except to the extent
prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange) by a
duly authorized officer of such company.

  3.12. Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall
include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and
the plural shall include the singular.

  3.13. Limitation of Implied Rights.

  (a)  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of
       participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any
       assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever,
       including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other
       property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion,
       may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A
       Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Stock or
       amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of
       the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall
       constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any
       Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

  (b)  The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection
       as a Participant will not give any participating employee the right to
       be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any
       right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or
       claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as
       otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer

                                      D-6
<PAGE>

     upon the holder thereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company prior
     to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt
     of such rights.

  3.14. Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting
on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the
proper party or parties.

                                   SECTION 4

                               CHANGE IN CONTROL

  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3.2(e) (relating to the adjustment of
shares), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement
reflecting the applicable Award, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
outstanding Options shall become fully vested and exercisable as to all of the
stock subject to such Options unless such Options are assumed by the surviving
corporation or its parent or the surviving corporation or its parent
substitutes Options with substantially the same terms for such Options. The
Committee shall have the right to cancel Options in the event of a Change in
Control, provided that in exchange for such cancellation the Participant shall
receive a cash payment equal to the Change in Control consideration less the
exercise price of the Option.

                                   SECTION 5

                                   COMMITTEE

  5.1. Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the Plan shall be vested in a committee (the "Committee")
which shall be selected by the Board. The Committee shall consist exclusively
of two or more directors of the Company. The composition of the Committee
shall meet the following:

  (a)  Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may
       establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify
       for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange
       Act; and

  (b)  Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for
       outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption
       under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

  5.2. Powers of Committee. The Committee's administration of the Plan shall
be subject to the following:

  (a)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the
       authority and discretion to select from among the Eligible Individuals
       those persons who shall receive Awards, to determine the time or times
       of receipt, to determine the types of Awards and the number of shares
       covered by the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance
       criteria, restrictions, and other provisions of such Awards, and
       (subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 6) to cancel or
       suspend Awards.

  (b)  The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the
       Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations
       relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any
       Award Agreement made pursuant to the Plan, and to make all other
       determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the
       administration of the Plan.

  (c)  Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made
       by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.

  (d)  In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the
       Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner that conforms to the
       articles and by-laws of the Company, and applicable state corporate
       law.

  5.3. Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable
law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate
all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of
its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and
powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or
delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

                                      D-7
<PAGE>

  5.4. Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company and Subsidiaries
shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines
may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Company and
Subsidiaries as to an employee's or Participant's employment, termination of
employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be
conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and
other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee
such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to
carry out the terms of the Plan.

                                   SECTION 6

                           AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

  The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that no
amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change
by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the
affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or
beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such
amendment is adopted by the Board; provided that adjustments made pursuant to
subsection 3.2(e) shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this
Section 6. An amendment shall be subject to approval by the Company's
shareholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or
rules.

                                   SECTION 7

       meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange
       Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") of 50% or more of
       either:

      A. the then outstanding Stock or

      B. the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding voting
         securities immediately after the merger or acquisition entitled

         Change of Control:

              i. any acquisition directly from the Company;

              ii.  any acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary;

              iii.  any acquisition by the trustee or other fiduciary of any
                    employee benefit plan or trust sponsored by the Company or
                    a Subsidiary; or

              iv.  any acquisition by any corporation with respect to which,
                   following such acquisition, more than 50% of the Stock or
                   combined voting power of Stock and other voting securities
                   of the Company is beneficially owned by substantially all
                   of the individuals and entities who were beneficial owners
                   of Stock and other voting securities of the Company
                   immediately prior to the acquisition in substantially
                   similar proportions immediately before and after such
                   acquisition; or

<PAGE>

    3. approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization,
       merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, sale or statutory
       exchange of Stock which changes the beneficial ownership of Stock
       and other voting securities so that after the corporate change the
       immediately previous owners of 50% of Stock and other voting

    4. the sale, transfer or other disposition of all substantially all of

    5. a merger of the Company with another entity after which the pre-
       merger shareholders of the Company own less than 50% of the stock of
       the surviving corporation.

  A "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to occur with respect to a
Participant if the acquisition of a 50% or greater interest is by a group that
includes the Participant, nor shall it be deemed to occur if at least 50% of
the Stock and other voting securities owned before the occurrence are
beneficially owned subsequent to the occurrence by a group that includes the
Participant.

  (d)  Code. The term "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
       amended. A reference to any provision of the Code shall include
       reference to any successor provision of the Code.

  (e)  Eligible Employee. The term "Eligible Employee" shall mean any common-
       law employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. An NSO (but not an ISO)
       Award may be granted to an individual who is not yet an Eligible
       Employee, in connection with hiring, retention or otherwise, prior to
       the date the individual first performs services for the Company or the
       Subsidiaries, provided that any such Award shall not become vested
       prior to the date the employee first performs such services.

  (f)  Eligible Individual. The term "Eligible Individual" shall include
       Eligible Employees, members of the Company's Board and outside
       consultants or advisors to the Company who provide bona fide services
       to the Company or a Subsidiary as Independent Contractors.

  (g)  Fair Market Value. For purposes of determining the "Fair Market Value"
       of a share of Stock as of any date, the following rules shall apply:

    (i)  If at the time an Option is granted, the Class B Common Stock is
         publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the fair market
         value of a share of Stock shall be equal to the sales price for a
         share of Class B Common Stock as quoted in the New York Stock
         Exchange at close of business on such date.

    (ii)  If sale prices are not available or if the principal market for
          the Stock is not a national securities exchange and the Stock is
          not quoted on the NASDAQ stock market, the average between the
          highest bid, and lowest asked prices for the Stock on such day as
          reported on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board Service or by the
          National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or a comparable service.

    (iii)  If the day is not a business day, and as a result, paragraphs
           (i) and (ii) next above are inapplicable, the Fair Market Value
           of the Stock shall be determined as of the last preceding
           business day. If paragraphs (i) and (ii) next above are
           otherwise inapplicable, then the Fair Market Value of the Stock
           shall be determined in good faith by an independent third party
           expert selected by the Committee.

  (h)  Subsidiaries. The term "Subsidiary" means any company during any
       period in which it is a "subsidiary corporation" (as that term is
       defined in Code section 424(f)) with respect to the Company.

  (i)  Stock. The term "Stock" shall mean shares of Class B common stock of
       the Company.
