d/b/a Monarch Wine Company of Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Adams Wine Company, d/b/a
Monarch Wine Company of Georgia (an S corporation), as of December 31, 1998, and
the related statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Adams Wine Company, d/b/a
Monarch Wine Company of Georgia, as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with

                      NTOES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The Company specializes in the manufacture of wines, including custom
      blended wines, cooking wines and base wines for vinegar and cordials.

      The Company has elected, by unanimous consent of its stockholders, to be
      taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. Under these
      provisions, the Company does not pay federal income taxes on its taxable
      income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for federal income taxes on
      their respective shares of the Company's taxable income. The Company is
      required to pay state income taxes to certain states.

      Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out, 34%;
      average, 66%) or market.

      There is no allowance for doubtful accounts as management considers all
      accounts receivable to be collectible.

      Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by
      the use of accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
      respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
      incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of
      property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and
      accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or
      loss is included in the results of operations.

      For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers demand
      deposits at banks, bank overdrafts, money market funds, and highly liquid
      debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
      cash equivalents.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions in
      preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the
      reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
      assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

B.    INVENTORY

      The following table indicates what inventory and net income would have
      been had the Company used the average cost method of inventory valuation.
      This information is presented to enable a reader to make comparisons with
      companies using the average cost method of inventory valuation.

I.     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

       TheCompany's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
       credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company
       places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality
       institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the FDIC
       insurance limit. Management is of the opinion that there is no risk
       because of the financial strength of these institutions.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The Company specializes in the manufacture of wines, including custom
      blended wines, cooking wines and base wines for vinegar and cordials.

      The Company has elected, by unanimous consent of its stockholders, to be
      taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. Under these
      provisions, the Company does not pay federal income taxes on its taxable
      income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for federal income taxes on
      their respective shares of the Company's taxable income. The Company is
      required to pay state income taxes to certain states.

      Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out, 23%;
      average, 77%) or market.

      There is no allowance for doubtful accounts as management considers all
      accounts receivable to be collectible.

      Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by
      the use of accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
      respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
      incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of
      property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and
      accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or
      loss is included in the results of operations.

      For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers demand
      deposits at banks, bank overdrafts, money market funds, and highly liquid
      debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
      cash equivalents.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions in
      preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the
      reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
      assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

B.    INVENTORY

      The following table indicates what inventory and net income would have
      been had the Company used the average cost method of inventory valuation.
      This information is presented to enable a reader to make comparisons with
      companies using the average cost method of inventory valuation.

G. PENSION PLAN

       The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan that covers
       substantially all employees. The plan calls for benefits to commence for
       terminated and retired participants at the age of 65 and the completion
       of five years of service or the actual attained age if older than 65.
       Benefits may commence at an earlier date on an actuarially equivalent
       basis. The Company has contributed each year the maximum deductible
       contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Plan assets are
       diversified among cash, government securities and corporate stock.

I.     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

       The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
       credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company
       places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality
       institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the FDIC
       insurance limit. Management is of the opinion that there is no risk
       because of the financial strength of these institutions.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


On November 17, 1999, Todhunter International, Inc. (the "Company") acquired
substantially all of the assets of Adams Wine Company d/b/a Monarch Wine Company
of Georgia ("Monarch") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between the
Company, Monarch and the principal stockholders of Monarch (the "Acquisition").
The assets acquired include the intellectual property associated with Monarch's
business, equipment and fixtures, receivables, inventories, cash and other
assets associated with Monarch's business. The Company also assumed certain
liabilities, including a facility lease and trade payables. The purchase price
was $23.5 million and was funded by a syndicated bank group led by SouthTrust
Bank, N.A. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company also entered into
5-year Non-Competition Agreements with the principal stockholders of Monarch and
an 18-month Employment Agreement with the president of Monarch.

The following pro forma financial data presented consists of (i) a pro forma
combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1999 (the "1999 Balance Sheet"), (ii)
a pro forma combined statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1999 (the "1999 Statement of Income"), and (iii) the accompanying notes to the
pro forma financial statements (the "Notes") (collectively, the "Pro Forma
Statements").

The 1999 Balance Sheet is presented as if the Acquisition were consummated on
September 30, 1999. The 1999 Balance Sheet reflects the combination of the
Company and Monarch as of September 30, 1999, as adjusted for the Acquisition.

The 1999 Statement of Income is presented as if the Acquisition were consummated
on October 1, 1998. The 1999 Statement of Income reflects the combination of the
statement of income of the Company and Monarch for the year ended September 30,
1999, as adjusted for the Acquisition.

The Pro Forma Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of the Company and Monarch, including the notes thereto.
The Pro Forma Statements are based on currently available information and upon
certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the
circumstances. The Pro Forma Statements do not purport to represent what the
Company's financial position or results of operations would actually have been
if the Acquisition had in fact occurred on such date or at the beginning of the
period indicated, nor do they project the Company's financial position or the
results of operations at any future date or for any future period.
