GLACIER WATER SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 29, 2002
(unaudited)

1.     Basis of Presentation

          In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information, including footnote information, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2001.

          Reclassification

          Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2.     Investments

          Investments are accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires that the Company determine the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date.  At September 29, 2002 and December 30, 2001, the Company considered all investments as available for use in its current operations, and therefore classified them as short-term, available-for-sale investments.  Available-for-sale investments are stated at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity (deficit).  Realized gains or losses from the sale of investments, write-downs associated with investments deemed to be permanently impaired, interest income, and dividend income are included as investment income or expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Management reviews the carrying value of its investments and writes such investments down to estimated fair value by a charge to operations when such review results in management’s determination that an investment impairment is considered to be other than temporary.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

          At September 29, 2002, investments available-for-sale consisted of the following (in thousands):

          The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.  The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the opportunity cost associated with fixed rate obligations.  At September 29, 2002, the Company held a portfolio of marketable securities, which included non-investment grade debt securities, with an estimated fair value equal to $639,000, which consisted of corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed securities with carrying values of $540,000 and $99,000, respectively.

          Proceeds from sales of marketable securities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002, were $0 and $483,000, respectively.  Proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 were $21,000 and $79,000, respectively.  There were no realized gains on such sales or maturities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002.  Realized losses on such sales or maturities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 were $7,000 and $87,000, respectively.  The mortgage-backed securities have a maturity date of December 2021.  The Company’s investment portfolio is managed by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., a related party.

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the results of operations have been included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition.  The excess of purchase price over acquired net assets was $4,129,000 and is classified as goodwill.  Intangible costs of $213,000, $230,000 and $280,000 were assigned to registered trademarks and patents, contracts, and a non-compete agreement, respectively (collectively, “Intangible Assets”). The Intangible Assets are subject to amortization and have a weighted average useful life of approximately 4 years.

          The following unaudited pro forma information assumes that the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2001, respectively.  The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which would have actually resulted had the combination been in effect on December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2001, or of future results of operations.

4.     Restructuring Charge

          Costs associated with the restructuring of existing Glacier operations and costs necessary to integrate the assets of Glacier and Pure Fill that are expected to benefit future operations are expensed as restructuring costs after management has completed and approved the restructuring plans and associated costs.  There were no integration costs recorded in the quarter ended September 29, 2002.  Integration costs totaled $1,364,000 for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002, and have been recognized as restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of operations since the date of the acquisition.  Integration costs were principally for the removal and replacement, transportation and disposal of vending equipment.  As of September 29, 2002, the Company had $33,000 remaining in the accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet related to the integration.  No additional restructuring costs are anticipated in connection with the integration.

5.     Inventories

          Inventories consist of machine parts used to repair vending machines in operation, and are stated at the lower of cost (moving weighted average) or market.  Periodically these parts are used to assemble vending machines.  Costs associated with the assembly of vending machines are accumulated until finished machines are ready for installation at a retail location, at which time the costs are transferred to property and equipment.  As of September 29, 2002 and December 30, 2001, there were no vending machines in the process of assembly.

6.     New Accounting Standards

          In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations.  This statement requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill.  The Company has followed the requirements of this statement for business acquisitions made after June 30, 2001.

          In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized.  Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement requires a test for impairment to be performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist.  This statement is effective January 1, 2002.  The Company adopted the statement effective January 1, 2002.  The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 142 has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

          In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.  SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.  The Company does not believe that implementation of SFAS No. 143 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

          In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No. 121.  Though it retains the basic requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding when and how to measure an impairment loss, SFAS No. 144 provides additional implementation guidance.  SFAS No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of, including assets under capital leases of lessees; assets subject to operating leases of lessors; and prepaid assets.  SFAS No. 144 also expands the scope of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity, and eliminates the current exemption to consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to be temporary.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  The Company adopted the statement effective December 31, 2001.  The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 144 has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statement.

          In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements including; rescinding SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as extraordinary items, net of related income tax effect; and amending SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions.  SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, although early adoption of the provisions related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 is

encouraged.  The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our results of operation or financial position.

          In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.  SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.  SFAS No. 146 will affect only the timing of the recognition of future restructuring costs.  This statement is effective prospectively for exit costs or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

7.     Debt

          The Company’s long-term debt consists of amounts due on the outstanding shares of the Glacier Water Trust Preferred Securities (AMEX: HOO_pa) issued by Glacier Water Trust I, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Trust Preferred Securities”), amounts due to City National Bank under a credit facility, and a note payable to Pure Fill.  As of September 29, 2002, there were 2,478,600 shares of the Trust Preferred Securities outstanding, which had a carrying value of $61,965,000 and have a maturity date of January 31, 2028.  In connection with the Pure Fill acquisition, the Company entered into a new $10,000,000 credit facility with City National Bank on February 19, 2002.  The credit facility requires monthly interest payments at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% (5.75% per annum at September 29, 2002) on the $4,000,000 revolving credit portion and equal monthly principal payments plus monthly interest payments at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.50% (6.25% per annum at September 29, 2002) on the $6,000,000 term loan portion.  The City National Bank credit facility contains certain financial covenants with which the Company was in compliance at September 29, 2002, and Glacier pledged certain assets as collateral in connection with this facility.  In connection with the acquisition of the Pure Fill assets, funds managed by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. provided temporary funding of $6,300,000 to the Company until February 22, 2002.  The Company paid to Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, LP interest of $12,000 at an interest rate consistent with the rates charged by City National Bank.  Glacier borrowed $6,000,000 on the term loan to repay the temporary funding to funds managed by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, LP  As of September 29, 2002, the Company had no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility and an outstanding balance of $5,300,000 under the term loan facility.  The Pure Fill note is payable over 4 years and as of September 29, 2002, had an outstanding balance of $560,000.  The Trust Preferred Securities are included in long-term debt.  The City National Bank term loan and the Pure Fill note payable are included in long-term notes payable.

8.     Extraordinary Item

          The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up to 1,250,000, or approximately 36.8% of the 3,400,000 shares, of the Trust Preferred Securities in the open market as part of the Company’s stock repurchase plan.  As of September 29, 2002, the Company had repurchased 921,400 shares of the Trust Preferred Securities at an average price of $16.41.  No shares of the Trust Preferred Securities were repurchased during the nine-months ended September 29, 2002 and therefore, no gain on the early retirement of debt was recorded for the three- or nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 compared to a gain of $4,000 for the same period last year.

9.     Issuance of 8% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

          During the quarter ended July 1, 2001, the Company issued 16,000 shares of Glacier Water Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), which resulted in an increase to stockholder’s equity of $1,600,000.  Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when declared by the Board of Directors, a cumulative, preferential dividend (the “Dividend”) at the rate of 8% per annum of the original purchase price of each share of Preferred Stock.  If after Dividends have been declared, the Company declares dividends or other distributions on the common stock, such distributions shall be declared pro rata on the common stock and the Preferred Stock.

          In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution, before any payment shall be made to holders of the common stock or any other class or series of stock of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, an amount equal to $100.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid Dividends (“Liquidation Amount”).  After payment of the Liquidation Amount, all of the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among holders of all preferred and common stock of the Company.  The Preferred Stock may be redeemed on or after the third anniversary of the issuance, at the election of the Company, for redemption prices equal to

10



GLACIER WATER SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
September 29, 2002
(unaudited)

103%, 102%, 101%, and 100% of the Liquidation Amount on or after the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth anniversary, respectively.  In addition, the Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the election of the Company, at 100% of the Liquidation Amount if the closing price of the Company’s common stock remains at or above $19.00 for 10 consecutive trading days.  The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock computed by dividing the Liquidation Amount, with respect to the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, by $9.50.

          For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002, the Company accrued and declared $32,000 and $96,000, respectively, for dividends associated with the Preferred Stock.

10.      Income Taxes

          As a result of changes in the U.S. federal tax laws during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, relating to operating loss carrybacks, the Company recorded an income tax receivable of $370,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, related to its ability to carryback additional net operating losses and obtain refunds of previously paid U.S. federal income taxes.

Results of Operations

Overview

          The Company has built an extensive network of water vending machines located throughout the United States by placing its water vending machines at supermarkets and other retail locations in order to take advantage of the regular customer traffic at such locations.  As of September 29, 2002, the Company operated approximately 14,000 machines in 37 states compared to approximately 13,000 machines in 35 states at the same time last year. The increase in machines was due primarily to the February 8, 2002 acquisition of the Pure Fill assets (see “Acquisition”) and the integration of these machines into the Glacier operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

          Over the past three years, the Company has expanded into new markets.  Such expansion has required the Company to commit costs in support of the infrastructure necessary to support these new markets.  Future expansion of vending machines into new markets will be limited in order to allow the Company to concentrate its efforts on installing machines within existing markets where it currently operates.  This strategy should build synergies and enhance the Company’s ability to leverage its fixed costs across all markets.  The Company continually explores opportunities to implement technology to improve the efficiency of servicing the vending machines to lower operating cost.

Revenues

          Revenues for the quarter ended September 29, 2002, increased $3,472,000 or 20.1% to $20,720,000 from $17,248,000 for the third quarter a year ago.  For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002, revenues increased $8,407,000 or 18.2% to $54,568,000 compared to $46,161,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in revenues for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 was due primarily to the acquisition of the Pure Fill assets, and higher average revenues per location this year compared to last year, offset slightly by closed locations.  On a comparative basis, the Company realized 3% and 4% increases in average revenues per location for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, this year compared to the same periods last year. 

Costs and Expenses

          Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 29, 2002 increased $2,025,000 to $12,616,000, or 60.9% of revenues, compared to $10,591,000, or 61.4% of revenues, for the same quarter a year ago.  Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002 increased $5,101,000 to $34,221,000, or 62.7% of revenues, compared to $29,120,000, or 63.1% of revenues, for the same period last year. The increases in total operating expenses for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002 were the result of higher commission expenses and higher servicing costs due to the integration of the Pure Fill routes into the Glacier operations.  Due to the immediate integration of

12



the operations that began following the close of the acquisition, the precise amount of the increase in operating expenses and selling, general and administration, (“SG&A”) expenses attributable to the Pure Fill assets is not determinable.

          SG&A expenses for the quarter ended September 29, 2002 increased $403,000 to $2,462,000, or 11.9% of revenues, compared to $2,059,000, or 11.9% of revenues, for the same quarter a year ago.  The dollar change in SG&A expenses for the quarter ended September 29, 2002 was primarily due to increases associated with the Pure Fill acquisition.  SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002 increased $661,000 to $7,275,000, or 13.3% of revenues, compared to $6,614,000, or 14.3% of revenues, in the same period last year.  The change in SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002 was primarily due to increases associated with the Pure Fill acquisition offset by severance costs associated with the termination of employment of certain executives during the first quarter of last year. 

          Depreciation and amortization expense was $3,084,000 for the quarter ended September 29, 2002, compared to $3,152,000 for the same period last year.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $9,243,000 for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002 compared to $9,090,000 for the same period last year.  The change in depreciation and amortization expense for both the three- and nine-month periods were primarily due to the added Pure Fill assets offset by other assets becoming fully amortized.  The Pure Fill assets generated approximately $125,000 and $415,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002, respectively.

          During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $0 and  $1,364,000, respectively, relating to the Pure Fill acquisition (see “Acquisition”).

          Interest expense increased to $1,496,000 for the quarter ended September 29, 2002, compared to $1,454,000 for the same period last year.  Interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002 decreased to $4,465,000, compared to $4,550,000 for the same period last year.  The change in interest expense for both the three- and nine-month periods was the result of changes in debt levels and lower interest rates this year compared to last year. 

          For the quarter ended September 29, 2002, the Company realized net investment income totaling $11,000, which consisted of management fees of $2,000, investment earnings of $20,000, and net realized losses on the sale or maturities of investments of $7,000.  This compares to net investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 totaling $29,000, which consisted of management fees of $3,000, investment earnings of $57,000, and net realized losses on the sale or maturities of investments of $25,000.  For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002, the Company realized net investment income totaling $6,000, which consisted of management fees of $6,000, investment earnings of $100,000, and net realized loss on the sale or maturities of investments of $88,000.  This compares to net investment income totaling $222,000 for the nine-month ended September 30, 2001, which consisted of management fees of $11,000, investment earnings of $236,000, and net realized loss on the sale or maturities of investments of $3,000.  The decreases in investment income for both the three- and nine-month periods were the result of having lower investments this year compared to last year.

          As a result of changes in the U.S. federal tax laws during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, relating to operating loss carrybacks, the Company recorded an income tax receivable of $370,000 reflecting the carryback of additional net operating losses to recover previously paid U.S. federal income taxes.  As of September 29, 2002, this income tax receivable remained outstanding but was received subsequent to the end of the quarter.

          For the quarters ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001, the Company reported no extraordinary gain resulting from the early retirement of debt.  For the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002, the Company reported no extraordinary gain resulting from the early retirement of debt compared to a net extraordinary gain of $4,100 for the same period last year.

          As a result of the foregoing, the Company realized net income of $1,073,000 for the quarter ended September 29, 2002, compared to net income of  $21,000 for the same quarter last year.

          For the nine-months ended September 29, 2002, the Company incurred a loss before extraordinary gain on the early retirement of debt of $1,624,000 compared to a loss of $2,991,000 for the same period last year.  After giving effect to the extraordinary gain, the net loss for the nine-month period was $1,624,000 compared to a loss of $2,987,000 for the same nine-month period last year.

          During the quarter ended July 1, 2001, the Company issued 16,000 shares of 8% Glacier Water Services Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).  For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002, preferred dividends of $32,000 and $96,000, respectively, have been declared and accrued and will reduce any amounts available to the common stockholders.

13



Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company’s primary sources of liquidity and capital resources were cash and investments, cash flows from operations, and funds available under the Company’s credit facility.  In connection with the Pure Fill acquisition, the Company entered into a new $10,000,000 credit facility with City National Bank on February 19, 2002.  The credit facility requires monthly interest payments at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.00% (5.75% per annum at September 29, 2002) on the $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the facility and equal monthly principal payments plus monthly interest payments at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.50% (6.25% per annum at September 29, 2002) on the $6,000,000 term loan portion of the facility.  Glacier has entered into certain financial covenants with which the Company was in compliance at September 29, 2002, and pledged certain assets as collateral for its obligations under the new credit facility.  As of September 29, 2002, the Company had $4,000,000 available under the credit facility.

          At September 29, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $7,474,000 and working capital of $5,346,000.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $7,072,000; net cash used in investing activities was $7,053,000; and net cash provided by financing activities was $5,280,000 for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002.  The Company’s stockholders’ deficit as of September 29, 2002 was $5,346,000, which amount continues to be below the continued American Stock Exchange listing guidelines.  Accordingly, it is possible that the American Stock Exchange could take action to delist the Company’s stock.

          During the quarter ended July 1, 2001, the Company issued 16,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which resulted in an increase to stockholder’s equity of $1,600,000.   Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when declared by the Board of Directors, a cumulative, preferential dividend at the rate of 8% per annum of the original purchase price of each share of Preferred Stock.  Redemption of the Preferred Stock is solely at the option of the Company at any time after July 1, 2004.

          The Company believes that its cash and investments on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under its credit facility, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated operating and capital requirements, including its investment in vending equipment, as well as distributions related to the Trust Preferred Securities, payments required under the credit facility and the Pure Fill note payable, and dividend requirements on its Preferred Stock, for at least the next twelve months.

          The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Trust Preferred Securities in the open market as part of the Company’s stock repurchase plan.  No shares were repurchased during the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002.  As of September 29, 2002, the Company had repurchased 921,400 shares of Trust Preferred Securities at a cost of $15,118,000, for an average price of $16.41, retiring a face value of $23,035,000 less $1,098,000 in deferred financing costs.

Acquisition

          On February 8, 2002, Glacier acquired substantially all of the assets of the Pure Fill Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Water Services, Pure Fill Finance Corporation and Pure Fill Container Corporation for a purchase price of $6,650,000, including $640,000, which is payable in installments over four years and transaction costs of $450,000, subject to certain working capital adjustments related primarily to the accounts receivable and accounts payable balances assumed by Glacier.  The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the results of operations have been included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition.  The excess purchase price over acquired net assets was $4,129,000 and is classified as goodwill.  Intangible costs of $213,000, $230,000 and $280,000 were assigned to registered trademarks and patents, contracts, and a non-compete agreement, respectively (collectively, “Intangible Assets”). The Intangible Assets are subject to amortization and have a weighted average useful life of approximately four years.

          Costs associated with the restructuring of existing Glacier operations and costs necessary to integrate the assets of Glacier and Pure Fill that are expected to benefit future operations are expensed as restructuring costs.  There were no integration costs recorded during the third quarter and integration costs totaled $1,364,000 for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2002.  Integration costs were principally for the removal and replacement, transportation and disposal of machines and have been recognized as restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of operations since the date of the acquisition.  As of September 29, 2002, the Company had $33,000 remaining in accrued restructuring related costs that are included in the accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet.  No additional restructuring costs are anticipated in connection with the integration.  

14



ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

          The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.  The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the opportunity cost associated with fixed rate obligations.  At September 29, 2002, the Company held a portfolio of marketable securities, (including non-investment grade debt securities), with an estimated fair value equal to $639,000 which consisted of corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed securities with carrying values of $540,000 and $99,000, respectively.
