repurchase all unused raw materials purchased by the brewing
company specifically for the Company’s beers at the brewing
company’s cost upon termination of the production

<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In 2009, the Company was
informed that ownership of the High Falls brewery located in
Rochester, New York (the “Rochester Brewery”) changed
and that the new owners would not assume the Company’s
existing contract for brewing services at the Rochester Brewery.
Brewing of the Company’s products at the Rochester Brewery
subsequently ceased in April 2009. In February 2010, the Company
filed a Demand for Arbitration, asserting a breach of contract
claim against the previous owner of the Rochester Brewery. In
January 2011, the arbitrator issued an award of approximately
$1.3 million in damages and expenses to be paid by High Falls
Brewery Company, LLC to the Company, although the likelihood of
collection of such award is in doubt. As such, no amount has been
recorded in the financial statements for this matter. The Company
does not believe that its inability to avail itself of production
capacity at the Rochester Brewery will, in the near future, have a
material impact on its ability to meet demand for its
products.</font></font></p>

to any pending or threatened litigation, the outcome of which would
be expected to have a material adverse effect upon its financial
condition or the results of its operations. In general, while the
Company believes it conducts its business appropriately in
accordance with laws, regulations and industry guidelines, claims,
whether or not meritorious, could be asserted against the Company
that might adversely impact the Company’s
results.</font></font></p>

options and unvested restricted stock to purchase approximately
267,275 and 182,500 shares, respectively, of Class A Common
Stock were outstanding but not included in computing diluted income
per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. Additionally,
performance-based stock options to purchase 71,100 and 113,200
shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding as of
March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011, respectively, but not
included in computing diluted income per share because the Company
was not able to estimate whether it was probable that the
performance criteria of these stock options would be met as of the
respective dates. Furthermore, performance-based stock options to
purchase 4,550 shares of Class A Common Stock were not
included in computing diluted income per share because the

of 2011, the Company and its former glass bottle supplier entered
into an agreement to settle all claims regarding the
recall. The Company received a cash payment of $20.5 million, which
was recorded as an offset to operating expenses, and all parties
have released each other of any claims as they relate to this
matter. In addition, the Company reversed approximately $0.6
million in reserves against invoices due to the supplier, which was
recorded as an offset to cost of goods sold.</font></font></p>
