    Audit Committee. The Board of Directors maintains an Audit Committee composed of at least two (2) non-employee directors, currently Messrs. Barbata and Chagami. The Audit Committee meets with the Company's independent accountants at least annually to review the results of the annual audit and discuss the financial statements; recommends to the Board the selection of independent accountants; and receives and considers the accountants' comments with respect to the adequacy of internal controls and staff and management performance and procedures in connection with financial reporting.

    Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.  Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") requires the Company's directors and officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock (a "10% Owner") to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely upon its review of such forms, the Company believes that Wilhelm Kuhlmann, a 10% Owner and a director of the Company since May 2000, filed his Form 3 late and did not file a Form 4 with respect to certain warrant exercises in the second and third quarters of 2000. The Company believes that Marcus Bender filed a Form 4 late with respect to a bonus grant of 350,000 shares of Common Stock and the rescission of a prior purchase of 100,000 Units in December 2000. The Company also believes that none of Messrs. Irwin, Riss or Robinson filed a Form 4 with respect to a bonus grant to each of them of 10,000 shares of Common Stock in August 2000.

Pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company, entered into in October 1996, Mr. Bender is entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to $100,000 in the event that the Company meets certain performance goals to be established by the Board of Directors.

A $100,000 bonus was awarded to Mr. Bender for 1999, which was paid in January 2000, subject to the condition that Mr. Bender invest the proceeds in certain equity securities then being offered by the Company. See "Item 12. Certain Transactions" below. In December 2000, this bonus payment and the related purchase of securities were rescinded with the mutual consent of the Company and Mr. Bender. The Company awarded Mr. Bender a $61,250 bonus for 2000, payable in shares of Common Stock of the Company, valued at their then current market price of $.175 per share, for an aggregate grant of 350,000 shares.

(2)
A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired within 60 days from the date set forth above through the exercise of any option, warrant or right. Shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants or rights that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options, warrants or rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(3)
Includes 750,000 outstanding shares and an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares issuable upon conversion of a $500,000 convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note"), convertible at any time at the election of the holder (Amcon Distributing Company ("Amcon")). In addition, in the event of (A) termination of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of June 15, 2001, among the Company, Amcon and Amcon Merger Sub, Inc., or (B) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined) under the Convertible Note, Amcon may convert the outstanding principal balance of and unpaid accrued interest on the Convertible Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the election of the holder into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $.20 per share. Amcon also holds additional convertible promissory notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000, which are

6


    convertible at the election of the holder into Common Stock of the Company at any time on 61 days' advance notice and are also convertible into Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share upon the occurrence of the same events described above with respect to the Convertible Note.

    ITEM 12. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

    The Company's bottling facility and surrounding property, including the water source and pumping equipment, are leased from Hawaii Brewery Development Co., Inc. ("HBDC") pursuant to a long-term lease agreement (the "Lease"). HBDC is jointly owned by Marcus Bender and Brian Barbata, two directors of the Company. The Lease provides for an initial term of fifty (50) years commencing October 1, 1994, which may be extended by the Company for an additional fifty (50) years. The Lease requires the Company to pay rent to HBDC on a monthly basis at a rate equal to the greater of (i) a certain base rent, or (ii) 2% of the Company's net revenues (as defined). The Company paid or accrued an aggregate of $66,830 and $63,588 in rent to HBDC pursuant to the Lease in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company made leasehold improvements to the leased property in an aggregate amount of $4,031 and $91,180 in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    In November 2000, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Amcon Distributing Company ("Amcon"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to merge with and into, and thereby become, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcon (the "Merger"). The Merger consideration values the entire common equity interest in the Company at $2,865,348, payable in common stock of Amcon, which will be priced at not less than $6.00 or more than $8.00 per share, based on a 20 trading day measuring period ending three trading days before the date of the Company's stockholder vote on the Merger. No stockholder meeting has yet been called to vote on the Merger. All of the Company's officers and directors and their affiliated entities that own shares of the Company's Common Stock have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger. Amcon has provided certain financing to the Company in anticipation of the Merger. Amcon loaned the Company $350,000 in September 2000, $400,000 in October 2000, and an additional $500,000 in June 2001. These loans are evidenced by promissory notes (collectively, the "Amcon Notes"), secured by a lien on all of the Company's assets, bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly, and are convertible at the election of Amcon, under certain circumstances, into Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, which among other things, would give effective control of the Board of Directors to Amcon. The $500,000 Amcon Note issued in June 2001 is also convertible at any time at Amcon's election into an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $.40 per share. The maturity date of the Amcon Notes is September 30, 2001. In February 2001, Amcon purchased 750,000 shares of Common Stock at $.40 per share for an aggregate investment of $300,000. Amcon has also leased new blow molding and related equipment for installation at the Company's bottling facility. Upon installation, it is anticipated that Amcon will lease this equipment to the Company on terms to be agreed upon.

    In September 1999, Wilhelm Kuhlmann and certain affiliated entities (collectively, the "Kuhlmann Group") purchased an aggregate of 675,000 Units from the Company in a private offering (the "Units Offering"), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Unit. This price was determined by arms' length negotiation between the Company and Mr. Kuhlmann. Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of Common Stock, (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at $1.00 per share (a "$1.00 Warrant") and (iii) a five year warrant to purchase 2/3 of one share of Common Stock at $1.50 per share. In December 1999, the Kuhlmann Group purchased an additional 200,000 Units for an aggregate of $200,000. In various transactions between March and August 2000, the Kuhlmann Group exercised an aggregate of 200,600 $1.00 Warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $200,600. In connection with the 1999 investment, the Company agreed to nominate Mr. Kuhlmann (at his request) for election to the Board of Directors. Mr. Kuhlmann was elected a director of the Company in May 2000.

    In September 1999, Marcus Bender purchased 100,000 Units in the Units Offering for $100,000. Mr. Bender was also granted an option, exercisable through January 2000, to purchase an additional 100,000 Units for $100,000. In January 2000, he exercised this option in full, using the proceeds of a $100,000 bonus for 1999 paid to him in January 2000. The payment of this bonus and the related purchase of Units was rescinded with the mutual consent of the parties in December 2000.

    Management believes that each of the transactions described above was effected on terms no less favorable to the Company than would have been available from unaffiliated third parties.
