MOLSON COORS BREWING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 26, 2005

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        On February 9, 2005, Adolph Coors Company merged with Molson Inc. In connection with the merger (the "Merger"), Adolph Coors Company became the parent of the merged company and changed its name to Molson Coors Brewing Company. Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of us includes Molson Coors Brewing Company (MCBC or "the Company"), principally a holding company, and its operating subsidiaries: Coors Brewing Company (CBC), operating in the United States (U.S.); Coors Brewers Limited (CBL), operating in the United Kingdom (UK); Molson Inc. (Molson), operating in Canada; Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. (Kaiser), operating in Brazil; and our other corporate entities. Any reference to "Coors" means the Adolph Coors Company prior to the Merger. Any reference to Molson Inc. means Molson prior to the Merger. Any reference to "Molson Coors" means MCBC, after the Merger.

Restatement of Financial Statements as of and for the Thirteen Weeks Ended March 27, 2005

        The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 27, 2005 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended have been restated as a result of errors in accounting for income taxes due to the following:

    The restatement corrects errors in accounting for income taxes related to purchase accounting for a deferred tax asset, and the interperiod allocation of a change in an income tax contingency accrual. The error related to the purchase accounting adjustments pertains to the acquisition of Coors Brewers Limited in 2002. As part of the purchase accounting, a U.S. deferred tax asset was recorded to reflect the anticipated future foreign tax credits expected to result from the U.K. taxable income that will be generated by the reversal of U.K. deferred tax liabilities. The Company has re-evaluated the purchase accounting and has determined that recording this deferred tax asset was not appropriate as it did not represent either a tax carryforward or a difference in the book and tax bases of the net assets at the time the purchase accounting adjustments were recorded. The impact of the misstatement on the Company's balance sheet is an overstatement of the long-term deferred tax asset account of $140 million, with a corresponding understatement of goodwill of $142 million at March 27, 2005. The impact of this misstatement is not material to the consolidated balance sheets for 2002, 2003, or 2004. This error resulted in immaterial misstatements in the Company's reported income tax provision for the years ended December 29, 2002 and December 26, 2004. The cumulative impact of the error was an $8.7 million ($0.14 per diluted share) understatement of income tax expense. This income tax provision misstatement was the result of changes in U.K. deferred taxes being offset by U.S. deferred taxes, for which the offsetting adjustment was made to increase the above referenced deferred tax asset, with a corresponding reduction of income tax expense. While these entries were consistent with the position the Company had taken in regard to the deferred tax asset reflecting the foreign taxes that could be credited in the U.S. (a change in deferred taxes in the foreign jurisdiction would result in a corresponding change in the foreign tax credits that could be credited in the U.S.), these entries were in error once it was determined that the deferred tax asset recorded in purchase accounting was in error. As the impact of this error was immaterial to prior annual periods, and the correction is immaterial to the expected results for the full-year 2005, it has been recorded in the restated financial statements for the quarter ended March 27, 2005.

8


    The recording of the deferred tax asset also resulted in an $11.7 million ($0.19 per diluted share) understatement of the income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2005, related to a tax rate reduction enacted in the Netherlands (a subsidiary of the U.K. group) during the first quarter. This reduction in foreign taxes was originally offset by a corresponding change in the U.S. deferred taxes as described in the above paragraph.

    The second error in the 2005 first quarter income tax benefit related to an interperiod tax allocation error for certain items, primarily reductions in reserves for tax contingencies, that were included in the calculation of the 2005 annual effective tax rate, as opposed to being properly considered as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2005. The effect of failing to treat these items as discrete items in computing the 2005 first quarter income tax benefit resulted in a $9.4 million ($0.15 per diluted share) understatement of income tax benefit.

Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of our majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary (See Note 8). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2004. The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year.

        The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements.

Reporting Periods Presented

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the results of Molson and Kaiser prior to the Merger on February 9, 2005. Further, the results of Kaiser are reported one month in arrears since the date of the Merger for this and future reporting periods, which means, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005, Kaiser's results include only the results for the months of February through May 2005.

Use of estimates

        Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements are affected.

Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements to conform to 2005 presentation.

Stock-based compensation

        We use the intrinsic value method when accounting for options issued to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. Accordingly, we do not recognize compensation expense related to employee stock options, since options are always granted at a price equal to the market price on the day of grant. Compensation expense recorded in the financial statements relates to grants of restricted stock, which were contingent upon reaching certain debt reduction goals by December 31, 2004, and other executive incentive plans. In 2005, stock compensation expense includes variable plan accounting expense related to change in control benefits. (See related Note 5). Additional, pro-forma expense represents vesting of stock options, including the former Coors and Molson options that immediately vested at the Merger. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) to stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes valuation model:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payment" (Revised 2004)

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS No. 123R) was revised in December 2004. We adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 when it became effective in 1996 but, as discussed above, continue to account for stock options under APB No. 25. Currently, under an exemption written into the guidance for qualifying stock option grants with no intrinsic value on the date of grant, SFAS No. 123 requires us to present pro forma share-based compensation expense determined under the fair value approach for our stock option program in the notes to our financial statements. We expect to choose the modified prospective method of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, therefore, beginning in the first quarter of 2006, we will be required to record these costs in our income statement. While under current guidance we have used the Black Scholes method to calculate

10



pro forma compensation expense, the new guidance will also allow a binomial method. We are evaluating the alternative methods to value stock options and do not know the impact of changing our current method.

SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs"

        SFAS No. 151 is an amendment to ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 that will be effective for us in fiscal 2006. The standard clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage to require that those costs be expensed currently, as opposed to being included in overhead costs. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 151 will have on our financial results when implemented.

SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets"

        SFAS No. 153 is an amendment to APB Opinion No. 29 that will be effective for us in the third quarter of 2005. The standard tightens the general exception for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. We do not believe that the standard will have a significant impact on our financial results when implemented.

SFAS No. 154 "Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections—a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3"

        SFAS No. 154 was issued in June 2005 and requires retrospective application of voluntary changes in accounting principles, unless impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes the guidance in APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3; but does not change any transition provisions of existing pronouncements. Generally, elective accounting changes will no longer result in a cumulative effect of a change in accounting in the income statement, because the effects of any elective changes will be reflected as prior period adjustments to all periods presented. SFAS No. 154 will be effective beginning with our 2006 fiscal year and will affect any accounting changes that we elect to make thereafter.

FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143"

        FIN No. 47 was issued in March 2005 and clarifies the accounting treatment required when accounting for an asset retirement obligation under SFAS No. 143 that is conditional in nature. FIN 47 will be effective for us at the end of our fiscal 2005. Management is currently reviewing the impact of FIN 47 on our accounting treatment of our asset retirement obligations. Any income statement change that may result from the adoption of FIN 47 would be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle during the fourth quarter of 2005.

2.     MOLSON MERGER

Merger Transaction

        The Merger was approved at a special meeting of the shareholders of Molson Inc. on January 28, 2005, and a separate meeting of Molson Inc. option holders on January 27, 2005, and amendments to the Company's certificate of incorporation and a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, special Class A voting stock and special Class B voting stock (and any shares convertible into or exchangeable for shares of that stock) were approved by the Coors stockholders on February 1, 2005. The Merger was effected through an exchange of stock, in which Molson Inc. shareholders received stock in the new MCBC according to an exchange ratio, depending upon the type of stock held. Also, Molson Inc. shareholders were permitted to receive a combination of common stock of MCBC and exchangeable shares in a subsidiary of MCBC, Molson Coors

11



Canada, Inc. Canadian resident holders who received exchangeable shares in the Merger could defer paying income taxes on the transaction until such time as they exchange the shares for common stock or otherwise dispose of them.

        In the Merger, Molson Inc. shareholders received the following:

        Molson Class A Shareholders.    A holder of Molson Class A non-voting shares who was a Canadian resident for Canadian income tax purposes was permitted to elect to receive for each of those shares:

    0.360 of a Class B exchangeable share of Molson Coors Canada (and ancillary rights),

    through a series of exchanges, 0.360 of a share of Class B common stock of MCBC, or

    a combination of Class B exchangeable shares (and ancillary rights) and, through a series of exchanges, shares of Class B common stock.

        Molson Class B Shareholders.    A holder of Molson Class B common shares who was a Canadian resident for Canadian income tax purposes was permitted to elect to receive for each of those shares:

    0.126 of a Class A exchangeable share and 0.234 of a Class B exchangeable share of Molson Coors Canada (and ancillary rights),

    through a series of exchanges, an aggregate of 0.360 of a share of MCBC common stock, comprised of 0.126 of a share of Class A common stock and 0.234 of a share of Class B common stock, or

    a combination of exchangeable shares (and ancillary rights) and, through a series of exchanges, shares of MCBC common stock.

Molson Stock Option Holders

        A holder of Molson Inc. stock options was permitted to exchange each such Molson Inc. option for 0.36 of a MCBC option to purchase Class B common stock. Approximately 1.3 million options were issued by MCBC in the Merger.

        Molson Class A non-voting and Class B common shareholders, excluding Pentland Securities (a company controlled by Eric Molson, a related party), also received a special dividend (the "Special Dividend") of Cdn. $5.44 per share, or a total of approximately Cdn. $652 million (US $523 million) paid by Molson in connection with the Merger to Molson Inc. shareholders of record at the close of business on February 8, 2005. Included in the number of outstanding shares of Molson Inc.'s common stock were approximately 1.4 million shares issued upon the exercise of options to purchase Molson Class A common stock by Molson Inc.'s directors and senior management between January 28, 2005, and February 8, 2005. This resulted in an increase in the Special Dividend of Cdn $12 million (US $10 million) and an increase in Molson Inc.'s outstanding Class A common stock. As discussed below, the Special Dividend was financed through additional debt.

        At its January 28, 2005, meeting, in light of the amount of work involved in completing the merger transaction, the Board of Directors of Molson Inc. authorized additional payments of: Cdn. $50,000 (US $39,800) to each of the then outside directors of Molson Inc.; an additional Cdn. $50,000 (US $39,800) to the chairs of the Independent Committee and Human Resources Committee; and Cdn. $845,000 (US $672,630) in aggregate additional payments to executive officers and certain other employees of Molson Inc. All Merger-related expenses incurred by Molson Inc. prior to the Merger were expensed as incurred.

Reasons for the Merger

        The Merger placed our combined company as the world's fifth largest brewer, by volume, with combined annual volume of approximately 50 million barrels. The combined company offers a diverse offering of more than 70 owned and licensed brands in key markets throughout the world. Management has identified $175 million of annual synergies that the combined company believes it can achieve in stages over the next three years, including the closing of the Memphis plant discussed in Note 5, in addition to administrative, strategic sourcing and other cost reductions.

Pro Forma Results

        As discussed in Note 1, the results of Molson have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 9, 2005. However, while the Molson results include results from February 9, 2005 through June 26, 2005, the results of Kaiser are reported one month in arrears and include results from February 9, 2005, through May 31, 2005.

        The following unaudited, pro forma information shows the results of our operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, as if the Merger had occurred at the beginning of each period. Therefore, the pro forma information includes Molson results for January through June of both periods presented and Kaiser results for December through May of both periods presented to simulate the reporting method we have adopted with respect to Kaiser. The pro forma results include special charges of $171.7 million during the first two quarters of 2005, including $17.4 million of merger-related special charges in the US segment for restructuring costs and accelerated depreciation on the company's Memphis brewery, which will be closed during the next two years; a $3.6 million write-off of obsolete brewery assets in the Europe segment offset by a $3.2 million gain on asset sale, expenses related to tax contingency increases in Brazil totaling $46.7 million, restructuring charges in Brazil of $19.3 million, and Corporate segment special charges totaling $87.9 million, primarily due to change-in-control payments and benefits for 12 former Coors officers who left the company following the Merger. Pro forma results for 2004 include special charges of $43 million, including merger-related Corporate expenses of $24 million, and $19 million in charges related to the closure of sales offices and brewing operations in Brazil.

Preliminary Purchase Accounting

        The Merger's equity consideration was valued at $3.6 billion, including the exchange of 46.7 million equivalent shares of stock at a market price of $75.25 per share, the exchange of stock options valued at $4.0 million, and merger-related costs incurred by Coors. Coors was considered the accounting acquirer in the Merger, requiring the purchase consideration to be allocated to Molson's and Kaiser's net assets, with the residual to goodwill. Management has evaluated many of Molson's assets and liabilities using various methods, including consultation with a third party appraiser. The most significant items for which valuations have not been finalized are pre-existing contractual relationships between Coors and Molson Inc., certain aspects of Molson's investment in the Montreal Canadiens, the value of the Brazil business, the value of Molson's non-owned partner brands whose contracts were impacted by the change in control, and the fixed assets of Brewers Retail Inc. (BRI), a joint venture consolidated under FIN 46. In addition, management is currently evaluating potential restructuring activities that could impact our purchase accounting. Other significant outstanding items include: evaluation of our organizational structure, decisions on outsourcing and other vendor arrangements and determination of the optimal information technology platform. Management is in the process of evaluating strategic alternatives relative to our Brazil operations. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Merger date.

Merger-related Debt

        Subsequent to the Merger, we established a $1.0 billion bridge facility which was used to refinance pre-merger Molson debt of approximately $1.5 billion, including that used to finance the Special Dividend and to refinance some of Molson's other pre-merger debt. We had $977.8 million outstanding under the bridge facility at June 26, 2005. The bridge facility is classified as short-term debt. We also established a $1.4 billion, five-year credit facility which was used to refinance a portion of the bridge facility borrowings. We had $310.5 million outstanding under the credit facility at June 26, 2005. Subsequent to establishing both of these facilities, the existing bank facilities at both Molson and Coors were terminated.

Merger-related Other

        Molson sold the Montreal Canadiens professional hockey club (the "Club") to a purchaser in 2001. Molson maintained a 19.9% common ownership interest in the team, as well as a preferred interest, redeemable in 2009. We have determined that, while the Club is a variable interest entity as defined by FIN 46R, we are not the primary beneficiary of the entity. As a result, we account for our interest in the Canadiens using the equity method.

15



        The shareholders of the Club (the purchaser and Molson) and the National Hockey League (NHL) are parties to a consent agreement, which requires the purchaser and Molson to abide by funding requirements included in the terms of the shareholders' agreement. In addition, Molson has given certain guarantees to the lenders of the purchaser of the Canadiens and the Bell Centre (formerly the Molson Centre), such that in the event that the Canadiens and the purchaser are not able to meet their obligations, or in the event of a default, Molson shall 1) provide adequate support to the purchaser through necessary cash payments so that the purchaser would have sufficient funds to meet its debt obligations, and 2) exercise control of the entity which owns the Club and the entertainment business operated at the Bell Centre at predetermined conditions, subject to NHL approval. The obligations of the purchaser to such lenders were Cdn. $92.0 million at June 26, 2005. As part of the sale transaction, Molson reaffirmed an existing guarantee of the purchaser's payment obligations on a 99-year lease arrangement (which began in 1993) related to the land upon which the Bell Centre has been constructed. Annual lease payments in 2004 were Cdn.$2.4 million, and are based on prevailing interest rates and changes in the consumer price index.

        We have made preliminary estimates of the fair values of the common and preferred equity investments in the Montreal Canadiens, as well as of the guarantee to lenders noted above and a guarantee of payments due under a land lease. We will further evaluate during the allocation period our 19.9% share of any intangible assets that may exist with respect to the investment.

        The preferred equity interest has a stated value of $86.5 million Cdn. (approximately U.S. $69.2 million) and is redeemable in 2009. The land lease has 88 years remaining in its term, with annual payments of $2.4 million Cdn. indexed to inflation. The lessee is an entity owned by the buyer of the Canadiens.

        Molson and Coors were partners in two joint ventures, Coors Canada and Molson USA (MUSA), prior to the merger. EITF 04-1, Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between the Parties to a Business Combination,requires management to determine whether the preexisting contractual relationships were valued at fair value at the merger date. The lesser of any unfavorability to Coors (the acquiring company for purposes of SFAS 141), or the cost to settle the relationship, is to be reflected as an expense just prior to the merger occurring, with the offsetting result of that loss amount not being considered in purchase price accounting. We are evaluating any potential impact of this rule as part of our purchase price accounting process, which is ongoing.

3.     BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        We have realigned our reporting segments as a result of the Merger. For comparative purposes, we have also reclassified amounts in the prior period presentation to the new format.

United States (U.S.)

        The U.S. segment consists of the production, marketing, and sales of the Coors and Molson portfolios of brands in the United States and its territories, and the Caribbean. This segment includes the results of the Rocky Mountain Metal Container (RMMC) and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company (RMBC) joint ventures consolidated under FIN46R.

Europe

        The Europe segment consists of our production and sale of the CBL brands, principally in the United Kingdom; our joint venture arrangement relating to the production and distribution of Grolsch in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (consolidated under FIN46R); and our joint venture arrangement for the physical distribution of products throughout Great Britain (Tradeteam). It includes the sale of Coors Fine Light Beer® in the United Kingdom and Coors Light® in the Republic of Ireland. It also includes the small amount of volume that is sold in Asia and Russia.

16


        In the United Kingdom, in addition to supplying our own brands, we sell other beverage companies' products to our on-premise customers to provide them with a full range of products for their retail outlets. These factored brand sales are included in our financial results, increasing our net sales and cost of goods sold, but the related volume is not included in our reported sales volumes.

Canada

        The Canada segment consists of our production and sale of the Molson brands, principally in Canada; our joint venture arrangement related to the distribution and retail of beer in Ontario, Brewers Retail, Inc. (BRI) (consolidated under FIN46R); our joint venture arrangement related to the distribution of beer in the western provinces, Brewers Distribution Limited (BDL); and the Coors Light business in Canada. The Canada segment also includes our equity interest in the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club.

        We also distribute, market and sell Corona Extra® in Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces under agreement with Cerveceria Modelo S.A. de C.V. We have an agreement with Heineken N.V. (Netherlands) which grants us the right to import, market and sell Heineken products throughout Canada and with Miller to brew, market and sell several Miller brands, and distribute and sell imported Miller brands. The Canada segment also has an agreement with Carlton and United Breweries Limited, a subsidiary of Foster's Brewing Group Limited, to brew Foster's Lager® in Canada for sale in Canada and the United States. Lastly, the Canada segment has the right to contract produce Asahi® for the United States market.

Brazil

        The Brazil segment consists of our production and sale of the Kaiser and Bavaria brands in Brazil.

Corporate

        Corporate includes interest and certain other general and administrative costs that are not allocated to any of the operating segments. Corporate contains no sales or cost of goods sold, although certain royalty income and intangible administrative costs are absorbed by Corporate. The majority of these corporate costs relates to worldwide finance and administrative functions, such as corporate affairs, legal, human resources, insurance and risk management.

        No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales. Inter-segment revenues are insignificant. Following is a reconciliation of amounts shown as income (loss) before income taxes, after

minority interests for each segment, to income (loss) before income taxes and net income (loss) shown on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

        The dilutive effects of stock options were determined by applying the treasury stock method, assuming we were to purchase common shares with the proceeds from stock option exercises. Anti-dilutive stock options totaling 4.6 million and 1.3 million in the thirteen weeks and 2.7 million and 2.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, were not included in our calculation because the stock options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

5.     SPECIAL CHARGES

        Largely in connection with the Merger and our related synergy goals, we have incurred charges in the first half of 2005 that are not indicative of our operations. As such, we have separately classified these charges as special operating expenses. By segment, the following items are included in special charges.

19



US Segment

        The US segment has recognized $17.4 million of special charges in the first half of 2005. $14.4 million of these charges related to accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs incurred in connection with our previously announced plans to close our Memphis facility over the next two years. The remaining $3.0 million includes salaried employee termination costs and other closing costs at Memphis and at our Golden facility, of which expenditures totaling $2.3 million have been made as of June 26, 2005. On July 26, 2005, Molson Coors Brewing Company reached a new labor agreement with the Teamsters Union representing the majority of its workers at the Company's brewery in Memphis, Tenn. The new labor agreement includes terms for a one-time benefit to employees who are involuntarily terminated in connection with the closure of this brewery. Retention and severance costs for the Memphis employees will be accrued over the service period during which such benefits are earned by the employees.

        Plans for shifting production from Memphis to other brewing and packaging facilities and the sequence of the shutdown are currently being finalized. However, the company expects a phase-out of operations to begin during the second half of 2005 and be completed by the first quarter of 2007. Cost savings are anticipated to be in the range of $32-$35 million annually when the closure is complete. To effect this change, the company expects to invest $70-$80 million in capital expenditures in its North American brewery network, along with restructuring and other costs related to the closure of the Memphis facility.

        In conjunction with the plans to close this facility, the Company currently expects to incur approximately $15 million to $25 million in cash expenses, consisting of severance and other employee related costs of approximately $10 million and equipment relocation and other facility transition costs of $5 million to $15 million. The Company also expects to incur non-cash asset impairment related expenses of $75 million to $80 million through accelerated depreciation and one-time asset abandonments. In addition, we may also pay an undetermined amount to the union pension plan when we withdraw our participation. These expenses will be incurred during 2005, 2006 and first quarter of 2007.

        The Molson Coors Memphis brewery currently employs approximately 400 people and brews Coors Light for export, Zima XXX, Blue Moon and Keystone Light.

Europe Segment

        The Europe segment incurred net special charges of $0.4 million during the first half of 2005, which consist of a first quarter 2005 impairment charge for brewing assets in the U.K. totaling $3.6 million, offset by a gain on development of property formerly owned by the Company near the Burton brewing facility in the second quarter of 2005 totaling $3.2 million.

20



Brazil Segment

        The Brazil segment incurred special charges of $46.7 million to record reserves for contingent liabilities associated primarily with transactional taxes (i.e., non-income taxes). See Note 12.

Corporate Costs

Coors Rights on Change in Control

        Coors had agreements with executive officers, and certain other members of management relating to a change of control of Coors. The Merger constituted a change in control of Coors under these agreements as the Adolph Coors, Jr. Trust no longer had sole voting control of Coors, and as the Board of Directors of the merged company no longer had a majority of directors who were directors of Coors prior to the Merger. These agreements generally provided for continued compensation and benefits for a period of two years following the change of control.

        In addition, these employees were entitled to severance benefits if triggering events specified in the agreement occur. Upon a triggering event, the officer would receive a multiple of annual salary and bonus and continued health, pension and life insurance benefits. For terminated executives and officers, stock option exercises are subject to a floor market price equal to the price of Coors' stock on the date of the change of control. As a result of the drop in our stock price during the second quarter of 2005, we recorded a charge of $13.3 million representing the amount of cash payments that would have been required if terminated officers had exercised options at June 26, 2005. If the price of the Company's stock rises above this option floor, it will result in a reduction to this charge. To the extent the Company's stock price falls below the price on June 26, 2005 additional charges will be necessary. The amount is included in the following table under "Additions."

        For each of Coors' then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the severance benefits if triggered included a payment for the rest of the current year plus three times annual salary, bonus and fringe benefits, plus benefits for the equivalent of three years coverage, plus three years credit for additional service toward pension benefits. For all other executive officers with these agreements, the compensation includes a payment for the rest of the current year plus two times annual salary, bonus and fringe benefits, two years equivalent benefit coverage, and vesting and credit for two years additional service toward pension benefits.

        The Company offered retention benefits to each employee covered by the change in control agreements (except for both Coors' then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who subsequently entered into new employment agreements [see Subsequent Events footnote 14]), in return for forfeiting their rights under the agreements. Twelve affected employees declined the retention plan offer. Corporate Special Charges for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005 include approximately $49.4 million accrued for departing employees under this plan, which includes $13.3 million related to the option floor benefit. Costs of the retention plan are being recognized ratably over the period that the employees remain with the Company and earn their retention bonuses. These costs will be included in future operating results and will total approximately $7.2 million over a two-year period.

Departure of Other Officers

        During the second quarter of 2005, two other officers (who were former officers of Molson, Inc.) left the Company, resulting in severance benefits. Special charges totaling $14.5 million were recorded in the second quarter related to these and other Molson severance and retention charges in the first half of 2005.

21



Other Corporate Special Charges

        The remaining special charges consist of Merger-related costs that were incurred by Coors, but did not qualify for capitalization in purchase accounting.

6.     EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

        We offer retirement plans to substantially all our employees in the U.S., U.K. and Canada. As a result of the Merger, we added pension liabilities of approximately $260.0 million and annual pension expense of approximately $13.4 million, including the obligations existing at BRI, which is a joint venture we are required to consolidate under FIN 46R. We incurred approximately $4 million of additional pension expense related to severance and change in control benefits to departing executives in the first half of 2005 which are included in Special Charges (see Note 5). The following summarizes our second quarter 2005 pension expense.

8.     VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

        FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—An Interpretation of ARB51 (FIN46R) expands the scope of ARB51 and can require consolidation of "variable interest entities (VIEs)." Once an entity is determined to be a VIE, the party with the controlling financial interest, the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate it. We have investments in VIEs, of which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we have consolidated three joint ventures for all periods presented. These include Rocky Mountain Metal Container (RMMC), Rocky Mountain Bottle Company (RMBC) and Grolsch (UK) Limited (Grolsch). We have also consolidated Brewers Retail Inc. (BRI), a joint venture in which Molson participates in Ontario province, effective with the Merger on February 9, 2005.

25



Rocky Mountain Bottle Company

        RMBC is a joint venture with Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. (Owens) in which we hold a 50% interest. RMBC produces glass bottles at our glass manufacturing facility for use at our Golden brewery. Under this agreement, RMBC supplies our bottle requirements, and Owens has a contract to supply the majority of our bottle requirements not met by RMBC.

Rocky Mountain Metal Container

        RMMC, a Colorado limited liability company, is a joint venture with Ball Corporation (Ball) in which we hold a 50% interest. We have a can and end supply agreement with RMMC. Under this agreement, RMMC supplies us with substantially all the can and end requirements for our Golden brewery. RMMC manufactures these cans and ends at our manufacturing facilities, which RMMC is operating under a use and license agreement. As of June 26, 2005, The Company is the guarantor of approximately $40 million of RMMC debt.

Grolsch

        Grolsch is a joint venture between CBL and Royal Grolsch NV in which we hold a 49% interest. The Grolsch joint venture markets Grolsch® branded beer in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The majority of the Grolsch branded beer is produced by CBL under a contract brewing arrangement with the joint venture. CBL and Royal Grolsch NV sell beer to the joint venture, which sells the beer back to CBL (for onward sale to customers) for a price equal to what it paid, plus a marketing and overhead charge and a profit margin.

Brewers' Retail Inc. (BRI)

        BRI is a joint venture beer distribution and retail network for the Ontario region, owned by Molson, Labatt and Sleeman brewers. Ownership percentages fluctuate with sales volumes. At June 26, 2005, Molson's ownership percentage was approximately 52%. BRI operates on a breakeven basis. The three owners guarantee BRI's debt and pension liabilities, which were approximately $175 million and $50 million, respectively, at June 26, 2005.

Trigen

        In 1995, we sold a power plant located at the Golden brewery to Trigen-Nations Colorado LLLP, including nearly all the fixed assets necessary to produce energy for the brewery operations. All output from the power plant is sold to Coors at rates consisting of fixed and variable components. We have no investment in Trigen but, due to the nature of our relationship with Trigen, we believe we may have a variable interest as defined by FIN 46R. We have no legal right or ability to receive or review financial information for the activity that occurs at the power plant. As a result, after exhaustive efforts, we were unable to conclude as to whether the activity which occurs at the power plant is a variable interest entity, and if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary as defined by FIN 46R.

On May 7, 2002, CBC completed a private placement of $850 million principal amount of 63/8% senior notes, due 2012, with interest payable semi-annually. The notes were priced at 99.596% of par for a yield to maturity of 6.43%, are unsecured, are not subject to any sinking fund provision and include a redemption provision (make-whole provision) if the notes are retired before their scheduled maturity. The redemption price is equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and (2) the make whole amount of the notes being redeemed, which is equal to the present value of the principal amount of the notes and interest to be redeemed. The notes are guaranteed by Molson Coors Brewing Company and certain subsidiaries. Net proceeds from the sale of the notes, after deducting estimated expenses and underwriting fees, were approximately $841 million.

Under the terms of the notes, we must comply with certain restrictions. These restrictions include restrictions on debt secured by certain types of mortgages, secured certain threshold percentages of consolidated net tangible assets, and restrictions on certain types of sale-leaseback transactions. As of June 26, 2005, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions.

In June 2003, we issued approximately $300 million in commercial paper. At June 26, 2005, and December 26, 2004, we had $289.4 million and $0.0 million outstanding, respectively. All of our commercial paper balance is classified as long-term as of June 26, 2005. As of June 26, 2005, and December 26, 2004, the interest rates on our commercial paper borrowings ranged from 3.17% to 3.45%, with a weighted average of 3.25%; and from 1.18% to 2.40%, with a weighted average of 1.50%, respectively. As of June 26, 2005, $289.4 million of our total $1.4 billion unsecured committed credit arrangement was being used as a backstop for our commercial paper program [See (5) below]. This line of credit has a five-year term expiring 2010.

(4)
In February 2005, we entered into a $1.0 billion bridge loan credit facility available in both Canadian and U.S. dollars, which was initially used to refinance the payment of the special dividend debt incurred by Molson immediately prior to the Merger and to refinance various issues [See Note 2]. The bridge loan borrowings accrue interest at variable rates, which are indexed to the CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate), plus a spread based on Molson Coors' long-term bond rating. At June 26, 2005, the interest rate on outstanding borrowing was 3.06% and we had $977.8 million outstanding. The bridge loan credit facility expires in February 2006.

(5)
In March 2005, we entered into a $1.4 billion revolving multicurrency bank credit facility, which was used to refinance a portion of the bridge facility borrowings [See (4) above]. Draws against the credit facility accrue interest at variable rates, which are based upon CDOR, plus a spread based upon Molson Coors' long-term bond rating and facility utilization. At June 26, 2005, the average effective interest rate for all borrowings outstanding was 3.02% and we had $310.6 million outstanding. The credit facility expires in March 2010.

11.   INCOME TAXES

        Our effective tax rate for the second quarter is based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate per taxable entity, including evaluation of possible future events and estimated purchase price accounting for the merger with Molson and is subject to subsequent refinement or revision.

        Our second quarter effective tax rate was 53.0%, up from 32.0% a year ago, due primarily to losses in a foreign jurisdiction for which no tax benefit can be recognized for the full year. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, we adjust our annual estimated effective tax rate to exclude the impact of these foreign losses. The adjusted estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax operating results, exclusive of the results in the foreign jurisdiction, and then adjusted by discrete items to compute income tax expense for the quarter.

        We anticipate that our full year 2005 effective tax rate will be in the range of 38% to 42% due in large part to losses in a foreign jurisdiction for which no tax benefit can be recognized as discussed above. Our tax rate is volatile and may move up or down with changes in, among other items, the amount and source of income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, the results of our purchase accounting and changes in the earnings and profits of our foreign subsidiaries.

        We are evaluating the impact of the repatriation provisions of Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code, but we do not expect that they will have a material impact on our tax expenses.

12.   CONTINGENCIES

Merger

        Kaiser is a party to a number of claims from the Brazilian tax authorities involving federal excise (IPT), social contribution (PIS and COFINS) and value-added state (ICMS) taxes, as well as other civil claims related to employee terminations and commercial matters. Accruals for contingent liabilities in Brazil at June 26, 2005, including interest, totaled $264 million (based on the foreign exchange ratio on June 26, 2005). These contingent liabilities include $203 million recorded as of the Merger date. These estimated liabilities increased to $203 million from the $176 million reported by us in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 27, 2005 due to a 16% appreciation in the Brazilian real versus the US dollar during the second quarter of 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, we recorded a special charge of $46.7 million (based on the foreign exchange rate on June 26, 2005) to increase these estimated contingent liabilities and record additional interest thereon. In addition to the amounts we have recorded, there are $333 million of tax claims where a loss is presently considered either remote or less than probable. This amount increased to $333 million from the $273 million reported by us in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 27, 2005 primarily due to the changes in the foreign exchange rate described above. It is possible that actual amounts payable resulting from the claims by tax authorities could be materially different form the liabilities recorded.

        Molson sold the Montreal Canadiens professional hockey club (the "Club") to a purchaser in 2001. Molson maintained a 19.9% common ownership interest in the team, as well as a preferred interest, redeemable in 2009. The shareholders of the Club (the purchaser and Molson) and the National Hockey League (NHL) are parties to a consent agreement, which requires the purchaser and Molson to abide by funding requirements included in the terms of the shareholders' agreement. In addition, Molson has given certain guarantees to the lenders of the purchaser of the Canadiens and the Bell Centre (formerly the Molson Centre), such that in the event that the Canadiens and the purchaser are not able to meet their obligations, or in the event of a default, Molson shall 1) provide adequate support to the purchaser through necessary cash payments so that the purchaser would have sufficient funds to meet its debt obligations, and 2) exercise control of the entity which owns the Club and the entertainment business operated at the Bell Centre at predetermined conditions, subject to NHL approval. The obligations of the purchaser to such lenders were Cdn. $92.0 million at June 26, 2005. As

32



part of the sale transaction, Molson reaffirmed an existing guarantee of the purchaser's payment obligations on a 99-year lease arrangement (which began in 1993) related to the land upon which the Bell Centre has been constructed. Annual lease payments in 2004 were Cdn.$2.4 million, and are based on prevailing interest rates and changes in the consumer price index.

        We have made a preliminary estimate of the fair value of the guarantees to lenders as well as of a guarantee related to the land lease associated with the transaction. See Note 2.

Litigation and Other Disputes

        Beginning in May 2005, several purported class actions were filed in the United States and Canada, including federal courts in Delaware and Colorado and provincial courts in Canada alleging, among other things, that the Company and its affiliated entities, including Molson Inc., and certain officers and directors misled stockholders by failing to disclose first quarter (January-March) 2005 U.S. business trends prior to the merger vote in January 2005. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuits.

        The Company has been contacted by the Central Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Denver (the "SEC") requesting the voluntary provision of documents and other information from the Company and Molson Inc. relating primarily to corporate and financial information and communications related to the February merger, the Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2005 and other information. The SEC has advised the Company that this inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violations of law have occurred, nor should it be considered a reflection upon any person, entity, or security. The Company is cooperating with the inquiry.

        The Company has also been contacted by the New York Stock Exchange. The Exchange has requested information in connection with events leading up to the Company's earnings announcement on April 28, 2005. The Exchange regularly conducts reviews of market activity surrounding corporate announcements or events and has indicated that no inference of impropriety should be drawn from its inquiry. The Company is cooperating with this inquiry.

        On July 20, 2005, the Ontario Securities Commission requested information related to the trading of MCBC stock prior to April 28, 2005, which was the date we announced our first quarter 2005 losses attributed to lower sales and the Merger. We are cooperating with the inquiry.

        Molson Coors and many other brewers and distilled spirits manufacturers have been sued in several courts regarding advertising practices and underage consumption. The suits have all been brought by the same law firm and allege that each defendant intentionally marketed its products to "children and other underage consumers." In essence, each suit seeks, on behalf of an undefined class of parents and guardians, an injunction and unspecified money damages. We will vigorously defend this litigation and it is not possible at this time to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, in these lawsuits.

        CBL replaced a bonus plan in the United Kingdom with a different plan under which a bonus was not paid in 2003. A group of employees pursued a claim against CBL for this issue with an arbitration board. During the second quarter of 2005, the board ruled against CBL. CBL has appealed the arbitration award and is confident that it will be reversed. We have estimated the cost of the award, if affirmed, to be $1 million, and accrued that amount as of June 26, 2005. If the award were applied to other groups of employees, the potential loss could be higher.

        We are involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, none of these disputes and legal actions is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is

33



subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters, including the above-described advertising practices case, may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

13.   DERIVATIVES

        Upon the Merger, we added various derivative instruments held by Molson and Brazil that hedged currency, commodity and interest rate risk in a similar manner as Coors. Certain Canadian interest rate swaps were unwound before the Merger occurred. Also, interest rate swaps held by BRI do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. All other Molson and Brazil derivative instruments since the Merger have been accounted for in accordance with US GAAP and Coors' derivative policies. Please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Coors with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2004 for a description of Coors' derivative policies.

14.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On June 29, 2005, we entered into new employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and the Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors. The new agreements include salary and benefits terms, as well as termination benefits that effectively replace the change of control agreements in place at the time of the Merger. (See related Note 5).

15.   SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

        On May 7, 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary, CBC (Issuer), completed a private placement of $850 million principal amount of 63/8% Senior notes due 2012. The notes were issued with registration rights and are guaranteed on a senior and unsecured basis by MCBC (Parent Guarantor) and certain domestic subsidiaries (Subsidiary Guarantors). The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. A significant amount of the Issuer's income and cash flow is generated by its subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the Issuer's debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from its subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, as well as our financial condition and operating requirements and those of certain domestic subsidiaries, could limit the Issuer's ability to obtain cash for the purpose of meeting its debt service obligation including the payment of principal and interest on the notes.

        Simultaneously with the private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we registered the exchange of the notes for substantially identical notes. The exchange of all the notes was completed on September 16, 2002.

        The following information sets forth our Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of June 26, 2005, and December 26, 2004, and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005, and June 27, 2004, and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2005, and June 27, 2004. Investments in our subsidiaries are accounted for on the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Guarantor, Issuer, and all of its subsidiaries are reflected in the eliminations column. Separate complete financial statements of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing their financial composition.
