MAYAUGUST 31, 1999

without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect,
in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial information for the Company. All such adjustments are of a normal

accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules
and regulations. These consolidated financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1999.
2) ACQUISITIONS:
On April 9, 1999, in an asset acquisition, the Company acquired several
well-known Canadian whisky brands, including Black Velvet, production facilities
located in Alberta and Quebec, Canada, case goods and bulk whisky inventories
and other related assets from affiliates of Diageo plc (the "Black Velvet
Acquisition"). Other principal brands acquired in the transaction were Golden
Wedding, OFC, MacNaughton, McMaster's and Triple Crown. In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into
multi-year agreements with Diageo to provide packaging and distilling services
for various brands retained by Diageo. The purchase price was approximately
$185.5 million and was financed by the proceeds from the sale of the "$200 Million"Senior
Subordinated Notes" (as defined in Note 6).
The Black Velvet Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method;
accordingly, the acquired assets were recorded at fair market value at the date
of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair market
value of the net assets acquired (goodwill), $22.3$30.1 million, is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The results of operations of the Black
Velvet Acquisition have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income
since the date of acquisition.
On June 4, 1999, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock
of Franciscan Vineyards, Inc. and related transactions purchased vineyards, a
winery, equipment and other vineyard related assets located in Northern
California (collectively, the "Franciscan Acquisition"). The purchase price was
approximately $212.0 million cash plus assumed debt, net of cash acquired, of
approximately $30.8 million. The purchase price was financed by additional term
loan borrowings under the bank credit agreement. Also, on June 4, 1999, the
Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Simi Winery, Inc. (the
"Simi Acquisition"). The cash purchase price was approximately $57.5 million and
was financed by revolving loan borrowings under the bank credit agreement. The
purchases were accounted for using the purchase method; accordingly, the
acquired assets were recorded at fair market value at the date of acquisition.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net
assets acquired (goodwill) for the Franciscan Acquisition and the Simi
Acquisition, $72.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively, is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over 40 years. The Franciscan and Simi operations are
managed together as a separate business segment of the Company ("Franciscan").
The results of operations of Franciscan have been included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income since the date of acquisition. The unaudited pro forma
results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 1999 (shown in the
table below), reflect total nonrecurring charges of $12.4 million ($0.40 per
share on a diluted basis) related to transaction costs, primarily for exercise
of stock options, which were incurred by Franciscan Vineyards, Inc. prior to the
acquisition.
- 5 -
The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of
operations of the Company for the threesix months ended MayAugust 31, 1999 and 1998,
which gives effect to the acquisition of Matthew Clark plc ("Matthew Clark") and,
the Black Velvet Acquisition and Franciscan as if they occurred on March 1,
1998. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are presented after giving
effect to certain adjustments for depreciation, amortization of goodwill,
interest expense on the acquisition financing and related income tax effects.
The unaudited pro forma results of operations are based upon currently available
information and upon certain assumptions that the Company believes are
reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma results of
operations do not purport to present what the Company's results of operations
would actually have been if the aforementioned transactions 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 results of operations at any future date or
for any future period.

per common share reflect the potential dilution that could result if securities
or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. Diluted earnings per common share assume the exercise of stock options
using the treasury stock method and assume the conversion of convertible
securities, if any, using the "if converted" method.

12) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that every
derivative be recorded as either an asset or liability in the balance sheet and
measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company formally document,
designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge
accounting.
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 ("SFAS No. 137"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133".133." SFAS No. 137 delays the
- 12 -
effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year. With the issuance of SFAS No. 137,
the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 on a prospective basis for interim
periods and fiscal years beginning March 1, 2001. The Company believes the
effect of the adoption on its financial statements will not be material based on
the Company's current risk management strategies.
12)13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:EVENT:
2000 CREDIT AGREEMENT -
On June 4,October 6, 1999, the Company, completedcertain of its principal operating
subsidiaries and a syndicate of banks (the "Syndicate Banks"), for which The
Chase Manhattan Bank acts as administrative agent, entered into a new senior
credit agreement (the "2000 Credit Agreement"). The 2000 Credit Agreement
includes both U.S. dollar and British pound sterling commitments of the
purchaseSyndicate Banks of up to, in the aggregate, the equivalent of $1.0 billion
(subject to increase as therein provided to $1.2 billion). Proceeds of the 2000
Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding principal and accrued
interest on all loans under the outstandingCompany's prior bank credit agreement, and are
available to fund permitted acquisitions and ongoing working capital needs of
the Company and its subsidiaries.
The 2000 Credit Agreement provides for a $380.0 million Tranche I Term Loan
facility due in December 2004, a $320.0 million Tranche II Term Loan facility
available for borrowing in British pound sterling due in December 2004, and a
$300.0 million Revolving Credit facility (including letters of credit up to a
maximum of $20.0 million) which expires in December 2004. The Tranche I Term
Loan facility requires quarterly repayments, starting at $12.0 million in March
2000 and increasing thereafter annually with final payments of $23.0 million in
each quarter in 2004. The Tranche II Term Loan facility requires quarterly
repayments of $1.6 million for each quarter in 2000, $3.2 million for each
quarter in 2001 and 2002, $4.0 million for each quarter in 2003 and $68.0
million in each quarter in 2004 (all such repayments shall be in British pound
sterling and the foregoing amounts reflect the U.S. dollar equivalents at
closing on October 6, 1999). There are certain mandatory term loan prepayments,
including those based on sale of assets and issuance of debt and equity, in each
case subject to baskets, exceptions and thresholds which are generally more
favorable to the Company than those contained in its prior bank credit
agreement.
The rate of interest payable, at the Company's option, is a function of the
London interbank offering rate (LIBOR) plus a margin, federal funds rate plus a
margin, or the prime rate plus a margin. The margin is adjustable based upon the
Company's Debt Ratio (as defined in the 2000 Credit Agreement) and, with respect
to LIBOR borrowings, ranges between 0.75% and 1.25% for Revolving Credit loans
and 1.00% and 1.75% for Term Loans. The initial margin for all loans was set at
the highest level at closing and is subject to reduction after November 30,
1999, depending on the Company's Debt Ratio. In addition to interest, the
Company pays a facility fee on the Revolving Credit commitments, initially at
0.50% per annum and subject to reduction after November 30, 1999, to 0.25%,
depending on the Company's Debt Ratio.
Certain of the Company's principal operating subsidiaries have guaranteed
the Company's obligations under the 2000 Credit Agreement. In addition, subject
to certain limitations applicable to inactive subsidiaries and to some of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries, all of the capital stock of Franciscan Vineyards, Inc. ("Franciscan"),each operating
wholly-owned subsidiary (other than the subsidiaries of Matthew Clark) has been
pledged to the Syndicate Banks as security for the obligations under the 2000
Credit Agreement.
The Company and related
vineyardsits subsidiaries are subject to customary secured lending
covenants including those restricting additional liens, incurring additional
indebtedness, the sale of assets, the payment of dividends, transactions with
affiliates and assets. The purchase price was approximately $209.9 millionthe making of certain investments, in casheach case subject to
- 13 -
baskets, exceptions and assumed debt, net of cash acquired, of approximately $28.9 million.
Also, on June 4, 1999,thresholds which are generally more favorable to the
Company completedthan those contained in its purchaseprior bank credit agreement. The primary
financial covenants require the maintenance of alla debt coverage ratio, a senior
debt coverage ratio, a fixed charges ratio and an interest coverage ratio. Among
the outstanding
capital stockmost restrictive covenants contained in the 2000 Credit Agreement is the
requirement to maintain a fixed charges ratio of Simi Winery, Inc. ("Simi"). The cash purchase price was
approximately $55.8 million. The purchases will be accounted for using the
purchase method; accordingly, the acquired assets will be recorded at fair
market valuenot less than 1.0 at the datelast
day of acquisition. The Franciscan and Simi operations will
be managed together as a separate business segment ofeach fiscal quarter for the Company.most recent four quarters.

affecting (i) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three
months ended MayAugust 31, 1999 ("FirstSecond Quarter 2000"), compared to the three
months ended MayAugust 31, 1998 ("FirstSecond Quarter 1999"), and for the six months

conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included herein and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1999.
The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry in the
United States and the United Kingdom. The Company reports its operating results
in fourfive segments: Canandaigua Wine (branded popularly-priced wine and brandy,
and other, primarily grape juice concentrate); Barton (primarily beer and
spirits); Matthew Clark (branded wine, cider and bottled water, and wholesale
wine, cider, spirits, beer and soft drinks); Franciscan (primarily branded
super-premium and ultra-premium wine); and Corporate Operations and Other
(primarily corporate related items).
RECENT ACQUISITIONS
On December 1, 1998, the Company acquired control of Matthew Clark plc
("Matthew Clark") and has since acquired all of Matthew Clark's outstanding
shares (the "Matthew Clark Acquisition"). Prior to the Matthew Clark
Acquisition, the Company was principally a producer and supplier of wine and an
importer and producer of beer and distilled spirits in the United States. The
Matthew Clark Acquisition established the Company as a leading British producer
of cider, wine and bottled water and as a leading beverage alcohol wholesaler in
the United Kingdom. The results of operations of Matthew Clark have been
included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company since the date
of acquisition, December 1, 1998.
On April 9, 1999, in an asset acquisition, the Company acquired several
well-known Canadian whisky brands, including Black Velvet, production facilities
located in Alberta and Quebec, Canada, case goods and bulk whisky inventories
and other related assets from affiliates of Diageo plc (collectively, the "Black
Velvet Acquisition"). In connection with the transaction, the Company also
entered into multi-year agreements with Diageo to provide packaging and

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Company's principal use of cash in its operating activities is for
purchasing and carrying inventories. The Company's primary source of liquidity
has historically been cash flow from operations,
- 16 - except during the annual fall
grape harvests when the Company has relied on short-term borrowings. The annual
grape crush normally begins in August and runs through October. The Company
generally begins purchasing grapes in August with payments for such grapes
beginning to come due in September. The Company's short-term borrowings to
support such purchases generally reach their highest levels in November or
December. Historically, the Company has used cash flow from operating activities
to repay its short-term borrowings. The Company will continue to use its
short-term borrowings to support its working capital requirements. The Company
believes that cash provided by operating activities and its financing
activities, primarily short-term borrowings, will provide adequate resources to
satisfy its working capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure
requirements for both its short-term and long-term capital needs.

maximum of $20.0 million) which expires in December 2004. The Tranche I Term
Loan facility requires quarterly repayments, starting at $12.0 million in March
2000 and increasing thereafter annually with final payments of $23.0 million in
each quarter in 2004. The Tranche II Term Loan facility requires quarterly
repayments of $1.6 million for each quarter in 2000, $3.2 million for each
quarter in 2001 and 2002, $4.0 million for each quarter in 2003 and $68.0
million in each quarter in 2004 (all such repayments shall be in British pound

including those based on sale of assets and issuance of debt and equity, in each
case subject to baskets, exceptions and thresholds which are known as "Incremental Facility Loans". The Credit Agreement also

The rate of interest payable, on the Incremental Facility Loans, at the Company's option, is a function of the
London interbank offering rate (LIBOR) plus a margin, federal funds rate plus a
margin, or the prime rate plus a margin. The margin is adjustable based upon the
Company's Debt Ratio (as defined in the 2000 Credit Agreement). and, with respect
to LIBOR borrowings, ranges between 0.75% and 1.25% for Revolving Credit loans
and 1.00% and 1.75% for Term Loans. The initial margin for all loans was set at
the highest level at closing and is subject to reduction after November 30,

Company pays a facility fee on the Revolving Credit commitments, initially at
0.50% per annum and subject to reduction after November 30, 1999, to 0.25%,
depending on the Company's Debt Ratio.
Certain of the Company's principal operating subsidiaries have guaranteed
the Company's obligations under the 2000 Credit Agreement. In addition, subject
to certain limitations applicable to
- 23 -
inactive subsidiaries and to some of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, all of
the capital stock of each operating wholly-owned subsidiary (other than the
subsidiaries of Matthew Clark) has been pledged to the Syndicate Banks as
security for the obligations under the 2000 Credit Agreement.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to customary secured lending
covenants including those restricting additional liens, incurring additional
indebtedness, the sale of assets, the payment of dividends, transactions with
affiliates and the making of certain investments, in each case subject to
baskets, exceptions and thresholds which are generally more favorable to the
Company than those contained in its prior bank credit agreement. The primary
financial covenants require the maintenance of a debt coverage ratio, a senior
debt coverage ratio, a fixed charges ratio and an interest coverage ratio. Among
the most restrictive covenants contained in the 2000 Credit Agreement is the
requirement to maintain a fixed charges ratio of not less than 1.0 at the last
day of each fiscal quarter for the most recent four quarters.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that every
derivative be recorded as either an asset or liability in the balance sheet and
measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company formally document,
designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge
accounting.
- 18 -
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 ("SFAS No. 137"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133".133." SFAS No. 137 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133
for one year. With the issuance of SFAS No. 137, the Company is required to
adopt SFAS No. 133 on a prospective basis for interim periods and fiscal years
beginning March 1, 2001. The Company believes the effect of adoption on its
financial statements will not be material based on the Company's current risk
management strategies.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
For purposes of the following Year 2000 discussion, the information
presented includes the effect of the Franciscan and Simi Acquisitions.
The Company has in place detailed programs to address Year 2000 readiness
in its internal systems and with its key customers and suppliers. The Year 2000
issue is the result of computer logic that was written using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable year. Any computer logic that processes
date-sensitive information may recognize the date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000, which could result in miscalculations or system
failures.
Pursuant to the Company's readiness programs, all major categories of
information technology systems and non-information technology systems (i.e.,
equipment with embedded microprocessors) in use by the Company, including
manufacturing, sales, financial and human resources, have been inventoried and
assessed. In addition, plans have been developed for the required systems
modifications or replacements. With respect to its information technology
systems, the Company has completed both the entire assessment phase and approximately
85% of the remediation phase.phases.
With respect to its non-information technology systems, the Company has
completed the entire assessment phase and approximately 80%97% of the remediation
phase. SelectedFinal testing in selected areas, both internal and external, are
being tested to assurehas
confirmed the integrity of the Company's remediation programs. The testing is expected to be completed by September 1999. The Company plans to have
allCompany's
internal mission-critical information technology and non-information technology
systems are Year 2000 compliant by September 1999.compliant.
The Company is also communicatinghas communicated with its major customers, suppliers and
financial institutions to assess the potential impact on the Company's
operations if those third parties fail to become Year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner. While this process is not yet complete, basedBased upon responses to date, it appears that many of those customers
and suppliers have only indicated that they have in place Year 2000 readiness
programs, without specifically confirming that they will be Year 2000 compliant
in a timely manner. Risk assessment, readiness evaluation, action plans and
contingency plans related to the Company's significant customers and suppliers
are expected to be completed by September
1999.have been virtually completed. The Company's key financial institutions have
been surveyed and it is the Company's understanding that they are or will be Year 2000
compliant on or
before December 31, 1999.compliant.
- 25 -
The costs incurred to date related to its Year 2000 activities have not
been material to the Company, and, based upon current estimates, the Company
does not believe that the total cost of its Year 2000 readiness programs will
have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
The Company's readiness programs also include the development of
contingency plans to protect its business and operations from Year 2000-related
interruptions. These plans shouldare expected to be completecompleted by SeptemberOctober 31, 1999,
and, by way of examples, will include back-up procedures, identification of
alternate suppliers, where possible, and increases in inventory levels. Based
upon the Company's current
- 19 - assessment of its non-information technology systems,
the Company does not believe it necessary to develop an extensive contingency
plan for those systems. There can be no assurances, however, that any of the
Company's contingency plans will be sufficient to handle all problems or issues
which may arise.
The Company believes that it is taking reasonable steps to identify and
address those matters that could cause serious interruptions in its business and
operations due to Year 2000 issues. However, delays in the implementation of new
systems, a failure to fully identify all Year 2000 dependencies in the Company's
systems and in the systems of its suppliers, customers and financial
institutions, a failure of such third parties to adequately address their
respective Year 2000 issues, or a failure of a contingency plan could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows. For example, the Company would experience a
material adverse impact on its business if significant suppliers of beer, glass
or other raw materials, or utility systems fail to timely provide the Company
with necessary inventories or services due to Year 2000 systems failures.
The statements set forth herein concerning Year 2000 issues which are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. In particular, the costs associated with the
Company's Year 2000 programs and the time-frame in which the Company plans to
complete Year 2000 modifications are based upon management's best estimates.
These estimates were derived from internal assessments and assumptions of future
events. These estimates may be adversely affected by the continued availability
of personnel and system resources, and by the failure of significant third
parties to properly address Year 2000 issues. Therefore, there can be no
guarantee that any estimates, or other forward-looking statements will be
achieved, and actual results could differ significantly from those contemplated.
EURO CONVERSION ISSUES
Effective January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the
European Union (the "Participating Countries") established fixed conversion
rates between their existing sovereign currencies and the euro. For three years
after the introduction of the euro, the Participating Countries can perform
financial transactions in either the euro or their original local currencies.
This will result in a fixed exchange rate among the Participating Countries,
whereas the euro (and the Participating Countries' currency in tandem) will
continue to float freely against the U.S. dollar and other currencies of the
non-participating countries. The Company does not believe that the effects of
the conversion will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
operations.
