NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the business of
brewing and selling beer, ale and cider products throughout the United States
and select international markets. The accompanying consolidated financial
position as of March 28, 1998 and the results of its consolidated operations and
consolidated cash flows for the quarter ended March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27,
1997.
MANAGEMENT'S OPINION
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the Company's unaudited
consolidated financial position as of March 28, 1998 and the results of its
consolidated operations and consolidated cash flows for the interim periods
ended March 28, 1998 and March 29, 1997, reflect all adjustments (consisting
only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the
full year.
B. SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:
Short term investments consist of a marketable equity security having a cost of
$4,286,000 and a market value of $1,969,000 and $2,063,000 at March 28, 1998 and
December 27, 1997, respectively. Effective March 28, 1998, the Company
determined that the loss on this marketable security is other than temporary
and recorded an unrealized loss. This resulted in a non operating charge, booked
to other income, of $2,317,000 at March 28, 1998 versus an unrealized loss,
which had previously been recorded in equity, of $2,223,000 at December 27,
1997.
In addition, the Company has investments in money market funds backed by U.S.
Government securities having a cost of $34,163,000 and $33,725,000 at March 28,
1998 and December 27, 1997, respectively, which approximate fair value.
C. INVENTORIES:
Inventories, which consist principally of hops, brewery materials and packaging,
are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO)
basis, or market.
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

D. INCOME TAXES:
The Company's effective tax rate increased to 56.7% for the three months ended
March 28, 1998 from 43.8% for the three months ended March 29, 1997, due
exclusively to the write down of the marketable security referred to in note B.
This non-operating charge of $2,317,000 reduced the Company's income before tax.
The Company was unable to fully offset this capital loss resulting in a higher
effective tax rate. The following schedule details this transaction.
Operating income $7,056,000
Other income (expenses), net ($2,260,000)
------------
Income before income taxes $4,796,000
Write down of marketable security $2,317,000
Capital gains available to offset loss ($800,000)
------------
Taxable income $6,313,000
Tax rate 43.09%
------------
Net tax $2,720,000
E. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" in the first
quarter of 1998. This standard requires disclosure of total nonowner changes in
stockholders' equity, which is defined as net income plus direct adjustments to
stockholders' equity such as foreign currency items and unrealized gains and
losses on certain investments. Comprehensive income for the first quarter of
1998 totaled $4,331,000 and for the first quarter of 1997 totaled $690,000.

THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the three-month period ended March 28, 1998 as
compared to the three-month period ended March 29, 1997. It should be read in
conjunction with the "Consolidated Financial Statements" of the Company and
related "Notes to the Financial Statements" included in this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 28, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 29, 1997
SALES. Volume increased by 10.7% to 311,000 barrels in the three months ended
March 28, 1998 from 281,000 barrels in the three months ended March 29, 1997.
This increase was due to the introduction of White Ale which began shipping in
January of 1998 and the inclusion of production at the Company's brewery in
Cincinnati for a full three months. The Company purchased the brewery located in
Cincinnati on March 1, 1997; therefore only one month of brewing operations is
reflected in the 1997 numbers. Net sales increased by 8% to $45,248,000 in the
three-month period ended March 28, 1998 from $41,855,000 in the three-month
period ended March 29, 1997. Net sales increased primarily due to increased
volumes, a shift in packaging mix (a higher percentage of bottles shipped versus
same period last year, which produced higher revenue per barrel) and to a lesser
extent, price increases. Despite this, net sales per barrel declined 2.3% to
$145.49 per barrel in the three-month period ended March 28, 1998 from $148.95
per barrel in the three month period ended March 29, 1997. This decrease is
primarily caused by increases in discounts and allowances and sales of non-
company products produced by the Company's brewery in Cincinnati.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by 19.4% to $23,820,000 in the three
months ended March 28, 1998 from $19,948,000 in the three months ended March 29,
1997. Cost of sales decreased to 47.4% of net sales in the three months ended
March 28, 1998 from 52.3% in the three months ended March 29, 1997. This
decrease is due to favorable raw material and packaging costs.
ADVERTISING, PROMOTIONAL AND SELLING. Advertising, promotional and selling
expenses decreased by 7.0% to $13,540,000 in the three months ended March 28,
1998 from $14,558,000 in the three months ended March 29, 1997. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a reduction in employee-related expenses, a
reduction in POS-related expenses, and a decrease in promotional spending.
Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in advertising expense. As a
percentage of net sales, total advertising, promotional and selling expenses
decreased to 29.9% in the three months ended March 28, 1998 from 34.8% in the
three months ended March 29, 1997.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased by
10.0% to $3,224,000 in the three months ended March 28, 1998 from $2,930,000 in
the three months ended March 29, 1997. This increase is due to the inclusion of
general and administrative expenses of the Companies brewery in Cincinnati. As
noted above, the Company purchased the brewery in Cincinnati on March 1, 1997;
therefore, only one month of brewing operations is reflected in the expense for
the comparable 1997 period. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses remained stable at 7.1% for the three months ended March
28, 1997 from 7.0% for the three months ended March 29, 1997.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased by 187% to $7,056,000 in the
three months ended March 28,1998 from $2,460,000 in the three months ended March
29, 1997. This increase was due to higher sales effected by the White Ale
introduction, a shift in packaging mix, savings in cost of sales and lower
spending in promotional and selling expenses.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET: Other income (expense) net, was ($2,260,000) for
the three months ended March 28, 1998, versus $350,000 for the three months
ended March 29, 1997. This decrease is due to the write down of a marketable
security of $2,317,000 and an increase in interest expense due to increased
borrowings against the revolving line of credit.
8
THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
NET INCOME. Net income increased by 31.4% to $2,076,000 in the three months
ended March 28, 1998 from $1,580,000 in the three months ended March 29, 1997.
The increase is primarily due to increased sales volume, a shift in the
packaging mix, reductions in cost of sales, and lower spending in promotional
and selling expenses, offset by the write down of the marketable security.
Income tax expense increased to 56.7% of profit before tax or $2,720,000 for the
three months ended March 28,1998 from 43.8% of profit before tax or $1,230,000
for the three months ended March 29, 1997. This increase in the tax rate is
caused by the write down of a marketable security, without a fully offsetting
capital gain. This reduced the profit before taxes from a financial standpoint
but not for tax purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first three months of 1998, the Company recorded net income of
$2,076,000, while net cash used in operating activities was $1,023,000. This
$3,099,000 difference is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and
reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which were offset by a
decrease in inventory and prepaid expenses.
During the first three months of 1998, the Company used $319,000 in investing
activities. This reflects the purchase of $438,000 in government securities,
the purchase of $2,198,000 of fixed assets, consisting of brewery and packaging
equipment for the brewery in Cincinnati, and the addition of new sankey kegs and
the offsetting write down of $2,317,000 in a marketable security.
During the first three months of 1998, the Company generated $1,624,000 from
financing activities which primarily reflects amounts borrowed against the
Company's revolving lines of credit. As of March 28, 1998, net borrowings were
$11,517,000.
Assuming there is no significant change in the Company's business, the Company
believes that working capital of $54,154,000 as of March 28, 1998 (of which
67.3% is in cash and equivalents and short term investments), in conjunction
with existing lines of credit, should be sufficient to meet the Company's
operating, capital and debt service requirements over the next few years.
