NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Pyramid Breweries Inc. (the “Company”), a Washington corporation, is engaged in the brewing, marketing and selling of craft beers and premium sodas and in restaurant operations. The Company operates breweries in Seattle, Washington, Berkeley, California and Walnut Creek California and recently constructed a fourth alehouse and brewery in Sacramento, California which opened July 3, 2003. The Company sells its beer through a network of selected independent distributors and alehouse locations primarily in Washington, Oregon and California under the Pyramid and, to a lesser extent, the Thomas Kemper brand. Pyramid also manufactures a line of gourmet sodas under the Thomas Kemper Soda Company label. As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s products were distributed in 32 states and Canada. The Company also operates four restaurants adjacent to its breweries under the Pyramid Alehouse brand name.

     The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. For a presentation including all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock Based Compensation

     At June 30, 2003, the Company has stock-based compensation plans which are described more fully in Note 15 of the 2002 Annual report. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the fair value of options issued under the Employee and Director Plans (the Plans) except as described in Note 4. Had compensation cost been recognized based on the fair value at the date of grant for options awarded under the Plans, the pro forma amounts of the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, would have been as follows:

                                 
    Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,
   
 
    2003   2002   2003   2002
   
 
 
 
Net income (loss) as reported
  $ 445,000     $ 594,000     $ (280,000 )   $ (174,000 )

    59,000       12,000       63,000       46,000  
Less: Stock-based compensation cost determined under the fair value based method
    (73,000 )     (76,000 )     (125,000 )     (148,000 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
Net income (loss) pro forma
  $ 431,000     $ 530,000     $ (342,000 )   $ (276,000 )
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share as reported
  $ 0.05     $ 0.07     $ (0.03 )   $ (0.02 )
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share pro forma
  $ 0.05     $ 0.06     $ (0.04 )   $ (0.03 )

     The fair value of options granted in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.98%; expected option lives of seven years; expected volatility of 51%; and expected future dividends of 5.5%. The fair value of options granted in the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.09%; expected option lives of seven years; expected volatility of 51%; and expected future dividends of 7.5%.

     The fair value of options granted in the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 3.98% to 5.13%; expected option lives of seven years; expected volatility of 51% to 52%; and expected future dividends.

7.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings (loss) per share was computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to repurchase. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares of common stock outstanding plus additional common shares that would be outstanding from in-the-money stock options upon application of the treasury stock method. The effect of stock options has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect is antidilutive. Options to purchase approximately 183,000 and 263,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of EPS because their effects are antidilutive.

9.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     The Company is involved from time to time in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that any such claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10.   CASH DIVIDEND:

     The Board of Directors announced on May 8, 2003, the declaration of a $0.044 per common share dividend payable on July 11, 2003 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2003. The Board of Directors also announced, on August 8, 2003, the declaration of a $0.044 per common share dividend payable on October 10, 2003 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2003. The cash dividends declared totaled approximately $375,000 for all common stock outstanding as of each record date.

     Cash dividends declared per common share:

                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
   
 
2003
  $ 0.044     $ 0.088  
2002
  $ 0.044     $ 0.088  

     Although the Company has declared and paid a dividend every quarter since the fourth quarter of 1999, continued future declaration of dividends will depend, among other things, on the Company’s results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition, and on such other factors as the Company’s Board of Directors may in its discretion consider relevant and in the best long term interest of the shareholders.

11.   SEGMENT INFORMATION:

     The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” and reports segment information in the same format as reviewed by the Company’s management (the Management Approach), which is organized around differences in products and services.

     Products and Services

     The Company’s reportable segments include beverage operations and alehouses. Beverage operations include the production and sale of Pyramid ales and lagers, Thomas Kemper beers and Thomas Kemper Soda Company products. The alehouse segment consists of full-service alehouses, which market and sell the full line of the Company’s beer and soda products as well as food and certain merchandise.

     Factors used to identify reportable segments

     The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. These segments are managed separately because each business requires different production, management and marketing strategies.

     Measurement of segment profit and segment assets

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of critical accounting policies included in the notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s current Form 10-K. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company records intersegment sales at cost.

12.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The statement is now effective. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

     Gross Sales. Gross sales decreased 2.9% to $9,882,000 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $10,177,000 in the same quarter of 2002. Wholesale beverage sales decreased 3.8% to $6,982,000 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $7,256,000 in the same quarter of 2002. Total beverage barrel shipments decreased 2.1% compared to prior year. Pyramid beer brand shipments increased 1.2% to 31,000 barrels, while Thomas Kemper beer continued its planned decline. Total beer shipments, including Thomas Kemper beer, increased by 1.0% to 32,000 barrels. Shipments of Thomas Kemper Soda decreased by 10.1% to 14,000 barrels from 15,000 barrels in the same quarter of the prior year. The reduction in soda volume is the result of softening demand for specialty sodas, as measured by Nielsen supermarket data, specifically in the Northwest which is the Company’s largest market. Alehouse sales decreased 0.7%, to $2,900,000 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003, from $2,921,000 in the same quarter of 2002. Excluding the Walnut Creek Alehouse, which opened in May 2002, the same store alehouse sales decreased $121,000 or 5.2% largely due to lower traffic at the Berkeley, California and Seattle Washington Alehouse locations.

     Excise Taxes. Excise taxes totaled 4.8% and 4.6% of gross sales for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in excise taxes as a percentage of gross sales was due mainly to a greater portion of beer sales, resulting from the decrease in soda sales which do not bear excise tax.

     Gross Margin. Gross margin decreased $184,000 to $2,500,000, down 6.9% in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. This decrease as a percentage of net sales was due in part to (1) lower net selling prices, higher material costs and lower volumes on the beverage side of the business, (2) increased insurance and benefit costs and (3) $89,000 of pre-opening costs for the Sacramento Alehouse.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.7% to $2,160,000 or 23.0% of net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $2,220,000 or 22.9% of net sales for the same quarter of 2002.

     Other Income, net. Other income, net was approximately $106,000 and 1.1% of net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to $130,000 and 1.3% of net sales in the same quarter of 2002. See footnote #6 – Other Income, Net for greater detail.

     Income Taxes. The Company recorded approximately $1,000 of income tax expense in the second quarter related to certain state tax expense. For the most part, however, the Company recorded no income tax for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

     Net Income. The Company reported a net income of $445,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to a net income of $594,000 in the same quarter of 2002.

     Other. The Sacramento Alehouse opened its doors to the public on July 3, 2003. The 295 seat restaurant and brewery will occupy approximately 9,500 square feet on the first floor of a historical building. As of June 30, 2003 approximately $2,124,000 has been spent on the build-out of the new alehouse location.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

     Gross Sales. Gross sales decreased 0.9% to $16,858,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 from $17,011,000 in the same period of 2002.

Alehouse sales increased 10.1%, to $5,254,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2003, from $4,773,000 in the same period of 2002. The increase was driven by the Walnut Creek Alehouse, open in May 2002, contributing $1,335,000 in sales. Excluding the Walnut Creek Alehouse, which opened in May 2002, the same store alehouse sales decreased $246,000 or 5.9% largely due to lower traffic at the Berkeley, California and Seattle Washington Alehouse locations.

A valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset for the benefits of tax losses which may not be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate future U.S. taxable income. The Company does not believe that its net deferred assets meet the “more likely than not” realization criteria of SFAS No. 109. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets quarterly by assessing the need for and amount of a valuation allowance.

     Net Loss. The Company reported a net loss of $280,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $174,000 in the same period of 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had approximately $1,985,000 of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2003 compared to $3,346,000 at December 2002. At June 30, 2003, the Company had working capital of $2,294,000 compared to $3,783,000 at December 31, 2002. The $1,489,000 decrease in working capital is a result of the capital spending related to the build-out costs of the Sacramento Alehouse, reflected in an approximate $1,361,000 decrease in cash and short-term investments, and a $620,000 increase in accounts receivable, offset by other various current asset and liability changes.

     Net cash provided by operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $1,677,000 compared to $974,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to a tenant improvement credit of $800,000 paid to Pyramid Breweries Inc. by the landlord of the Sacramento Alehouse. The $800,000 cash receipt was recorded as a deferred rent liability and will be amortized over the life of the lease.

     Net cash used in investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was $507,000 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $130,000 for the same period of the prior year. The cash used in investing activities in 2003 included approximately $1,752,000 used to build-out the new Sacramento Alehouse which opened in July 2003. The capital expenditures were offset by the sale of $1,900,000 of short-term investments. Short-term investment sales of $1,500,000 were made during the same six month period of 2002.

     At June 30, 2003, the Company’s commitment to make future payments under contractual obligations was as follows:

     On December 15, 1999, the Company announced its first regular quarterly cash dividend and has declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend each consecutive quarter since the initial declaration. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003 the Company declared per share dividends of $0.044 and paid out $375,000 in cash dividends. Although the Company has declared and paid a dividend every quarter since the fourth quarter of 1999, continued future declaration of dividends will depend, among other things, on the Company’s results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition, and on such other factors as the Company’s Board of Directors may in its discretion consider relevant and in the best long term interest of the shareholders.

     On December 15, 1999, the Company also announced a stock buyback plan to repurchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market. Stock purchases are at the discretion of management and depend, among other things, on the Company’s results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition, and on such other factors as the Company’s management may consider relevant. As of June 30, 2003, the Company has purchased a total of 457,724 shares at an average price of $1.94 per share for a total of $892,000 since the inception of the program. During the six month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company did not purchase any shares.

     Future capital requirements may vary depending on such factors as the cost of acquisition of businesses, brands and real estate costs in the markets selected for future expansion, whether such real estate is leased or purchased and the extent of improvements necessary. Planned projects include the Sacramento Alehouse development which opened in July of 2003 and the upgrading of brewing equipment and alehouse facilities in the Seattle and Berkeley locations. The Company estimates that total Alehouse development costs to be incurred in 2003 will be approximately $2,200,000 before any tenant improvement credits. While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be realized and plans are subject to change upon further review, the Company believes that its cash balances, together with cash from operations, will be sufficient for the Company’s working capital needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company believes that its critical accounting policies include the following:

  Long-lived assets impairment
 
  Realization of deferred tax assets
 
  Stock-based compensation

     Long-Lived Assets Impairment. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are evaluated in relation to the estimated fair value of such assets less the estimated costs to sell. Long-lived assets are written down to their estimated net fair value calculated using a discounted future cash flow analysis in the event of an impairment. Effective in the fiscal year 2002, the Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If circumstances related to the Company’s long-lived assets change, the Company’s valuation of the long-lived assets could materially change.

     Realization of Deferred Tax Assets. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets quarterly by assessing the need for and amount of the valuation allowance. The evaluation of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to generate future U.S. taxable income. Results of operations in recent years are considered in the assessment. The Company records a valuation allowance for the portion of its deferred tax assets that do not meet the recognition criteria of SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” If circumstances related to the Company’s ability to generate future U.S. taxable income change, the Company’s evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax assets could materially change.

     Stock-Based Compensation. The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, in accounting for its employee stock options using the fair value based method. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company’s Statements of Operations. The Company is required under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to its employees based on specific valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges. The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used by the Company in estimating the fair value of options. If the Company changes the accounting for stock-based compensation, the Company’s results of operations could materially change.

     RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Company does not provide forecasts of future financial performance. However, this report contains forward looking statements: discussions of a number of matters and subject areas that are not historical or current facts but that address potential future circumstances, operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to the “safe harbor” created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally and may differ

materially from the Company’s actual future experience as a result of such factors as: the effects of increased competition from regional craft brewers and major breweries, the Company’s ability to gain and continue access to the markets through independent distributors and chain stores, the effects of governmental regulation and the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain necessary permits, licenses and approvals, the Company’s ability to maintain or increase the price of its products without decreasing demand and the Company’s ability to maintain or increase operating margins which may decline as a result of lower sales volumes or selling prices and increased production, transportation and promotions costs. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve a high degree of risk and uncertainty. Additional information concerning those and other factors is contained in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     The Company has not and does not currently have any intention to hold any derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities. Also, the Company does not have any outstanding variable rate debt and does not enter into significant transactions denominated in foreign currency. Therefore, the Company’s direct exposure to risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments is not material.

     The Company does maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and, consequently, are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value. At any time, a rise or decrease in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings of the investment portfolio. The Company currently does not hedge interest rate exposures.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Procedures

     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedure

     The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

     Changes in internal controls

     There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with this evaluation that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
