The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal recurring nature) for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2012, or any portion thereof.

 

The Company consists of the retail, in-state self-distribution and out-of-state sales departments. These departments have mostly similar economic characteristics, offer comparable products to customers and utilize similar processes for production and distribution. The in-state self-distribution business known as Bacchus Fine Wines is no longer selling produced wine but is continuing to sell purchased wine and glassware as of March 31, 2012. On September 1, 2011 the Company entered into a seven year contract with Young’s Market of Oregon, LLC to distribute produced wine in-state. The Company reports limited financial information for two operating segments as follows: Bacchus Distribution and Produced Wines.

 

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the year. Potentially dilutive shares from stock options and other potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive. 4,238 and 5,259 potentially dilutive shares are included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively
