GLACIER WATER SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 30, 2003
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the Companys management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and all adjustments (consisting only of normal consolidating and eliminating entries and recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these 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 generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of operations for the three-month period ended March 30, 2003 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2002.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
2. Stock Option Plans
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002 and are contained herein.
The Company has options outstanding under two stock option plans, the 1992 Stock Option Plan, which was terminated in 1994, and the 1994 Stock Compensation Program (the Program). The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation cost has been recognized, since the exercise prices of the options granted were not less than the market prices of the stock on the dates of grant.
The following pro forma disclosures represent what the Companys net loss and loss per common share would have been had the Company recorded compensation cost for these plans in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:

3. 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 based on managements intent and re-evaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company considers all investments as available for use in its current operations, and therefore, classifies them as short-term, available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments are stated at fair value, with net unrealized gains or losses, if any, reported as a separate component of stockholders equity (deficit). Realized gains or losses from the sale of investments, interest income, and dividends are included in investment expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Management reviews the carrying values of its investments and writes such investments down to estimated fair value by a charge to operations when such review results in managements determination that an investments impairment is considered to be other than temporary. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
At March 30, 2003, short-term investments consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Companys primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Companys exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the opportunity cost associated with fixed-rate obligations. At March 30, 2003, the Company held a portfolio of marketable securities with an estimated fair value equal to $568,000, which consisted of non-investment grade corporate debt securities and a mortgage-backed security with carrying values of $540,000 and $28,000, respectively.

4. 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 (collectively, Pure Fill), for a purchase price of $6,064,000, including $640,000 which is payable in equal quarterly installments over four years. The Company incurred transaction costs of $450,000. 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 allocation of fair values of assets and liabilities were based upon a third party appraisal. The excess of purchase price over acquired net assets was $4,129,000 and is classified as goodwill.
Intangible assets 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). For the quarter ended March 30, 2003, the Company recorded amortization of $53,000 related to the Intangible Assets compared to $35,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Intangible Assets are subject to amortization and have a weighted average useful life of approximately 4 years.
On February 8, 2002, Glacier acquired substantially all of the assets of Pure Fill. Costs necessary to integrate the assets of Glacier and Pure Fill that were expected to benefit future operations were expensed as integration costs after management completed and approved the plans and associated costs. As a result of integrating Pure Fill assets into Glacier Waters operations, integration costs totaled $889,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, and have been recognized as integration costs in the consolidated statement of operations. Integration costs were principally for the removal and replacement, as well as the transportation and disposal of vending equipment.
5. Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit
Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities
On January 27, 1998, Glacier Water Trust I (the Trust), a newly created Delaware business trust and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued 105,154 common securities to the Company and completed a public offering of 3,400,000 of 9.0625% Cumulative Trust Preferred

(unaudited)
Securities with a liquidation amount of $25.00 per security (the Trust Preferred Securities and together with the common securities the Trust Securities). The Trust exists for the sole purpose of issuing Trust Securities and purchasing Subordinated Debentures. Concurrent with the issuance of such securities, the Trust invested the proceeds therefrom in an aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 of 9.0625% Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Subordinated Debentures) issued by the Company.
Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are payable monthly in arrears by the Trust. The Company may cause the Trust to defer the payment of distributions for a period not to exceed 60 consecutive months. During any such deferral period, distributions will accrue and compound quarterly, and the Company may not declare or pay distributions on its common or preferred stock or debt securities that rank equal or junior to the Subordinated Debentures. To date, the Company is current on all distributions.
The Subordinated Debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to certain other indebtedness of the Company. The Trust Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon the repayment of the Subordinated Debentures at the redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions. The Subordinated Debentures mature on January 31, 2028, but may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time after January 31, 2003. The Company has not redeemed any Securities as of March 30, 2003. The Company effectively provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the Trusts obligations under the Trust Securities.
The Companys Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of the 9.0625% Trust Preferred Securities issued by the Trust, and guaranteed by the Company. As of March 30, 2003, the Company had repurchased 921,400 Trust Preferred Securities at a cost of $15,118,000, at an average cost of $16.40 per security, effectively temporarily retiring $23,035,000 of the Trust Preferred Securities. As of March 30, 2003 there were 2,478,600 Trust Preferred Securities outstanding (other than the Trust Preferred Securities held by the Company), which had a carrying value of $61,965,000 and have a maturity date of January 31, 2028. All Trust Preferred Securities, other than those held by the Company, are included in long-term debt.
Pursuant to an Exchange Offer, which commenced on February 26, 2003 and expired on April 11, 2003, 983,880 shares of Common Stock were exchanged for a total of 787,105 Trust Preferred Securities at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for eight-tenths of a Trust Preferred Security. Each Trust Preferred Security has a liquidation value of $25.00 per share. The Exchange Offer increased long-term debt by approximately $19,678,000. The Company will incur additional annual interest of approximately $1,783,000 in connection with the newly exchanged Trust Preferred Securities. On a proforma basis, as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2003, the additional interest expense associated with newly exchanged Trust Preferred Securities would have increased stockholders deficit and net loss applicable to common stockholders by approximately $446,000 and basic and diluted loss per share by $0.16, respectively, for the quarter ended March 30, 2003.
Line of Credit
The Companys primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash and investments, cash flows from operations and funds available under the Companys credit facility. In connection with the Pure Fill acquisition, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 credit facility with City National Bank on February 19, 2002. The $10,000,000 credit facility consisted of a $4,000,000 revolving credit portion and a $6,000,000 term portion. On February 1, 2003, the Company restructured the term portion, which had an outstanding balance of $4,800,000 as of that date. The

term portion was canceled and replaced with a new revolving note. The credit availability on the new revolving note is reduced by $300,000 every three months beginning May 1, 2003 until its maturity in February 2007. The credit facility contains certain customary financial covenants, which restrict indebtedness and capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance at March 30, 2003 with all such covenants. The Company pledged certain assets such as repair parts inventory and equipment as collateral for its obligations under the new credit facility. The new revolving note requires monthly interest payments at the Banks prime rate plus 1.50% (5.75% per annum at March 30, 2003). The original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility (which remains in effect) requires monthly interest payments at the Banks prime rate plus 1.00% (5.25% per annum at March 30, 2003). The new revolving note and the original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility require a quarterly unused facility fee of 0.50% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively. During the quarter ended March 30, 2003, the Company repaid the new revolving note and as of March 30, 2003, there were no amounts outstanding on either the new revolving note or the original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility. Availability under the new revolving note and the original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility was $4,800,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, for a total of $8,800,000 as of March 30, 2003.
6. 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 stockholders 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 (Dividend) at the rate of 8% per annum of the original purchase price of each share of Preferred Stock. If the Company declares dividends or other distributions on the common stock, such distributions shall also be paid on the Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.
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 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 Companys 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 both the three-month periods ended March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002, the Company accrued and declared dividends associated with the Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of $32,000.
7. 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 related to its ability to carryback additional net operating losses and recover previously paid U.S. federal income taxes during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This receivable was received prior to the year ended December 29, 2002.

Results of Operations
Overview
The Company has created an extensive network of water vending machines located throughout the United States. The Companys water vending machines are placed at supermarkets and other retail locations in order to take advantage of the regular customer traffic at such locations.
Currently operating in 37 states, the Company continually pursues opportunities to expand its presence in existing markets as well as new high potential markets. Additionally, the Company continually explores opportunities to implement technology to improve efficiency of servicing the vending machines to lower its operating costs. The Company continues to monitor selling, general and administrative expenses and reduce costs where possible.
From time to time, the Company explores acquisition opportunities that will strengthen the Company and improve its operating results. On February 8, 2002, Glacier acquired substantially all of the assets of Pure Fill (see Note 4). Immediately after the acquisition, Glacier integrated the Pure Fill assets into the Glacier operations.
Revenues
Revenues for the quarter ended March 30, 2003, increased $1,124,000 or 7.3% to $16,533,000 from $15,409,000 for the first quarter a year ago. Revenues increased 2.4% due to volume increases, and 4.9% due to increases in the average price per gallon of water sold during fiscal 2003 compared to 2002. The number of machines in operation remained relatively constant at approximately 14,000 as of March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002. As of March 30, 2003, the Company had approximately 2,600 in-store machines and approximately 11,400 outside machines in operation in 37 states.
11
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the quarter ended March 30, 2003 increased to $10,670,000, or 64.5% of revenues, compared to $9,985,000, or 64.8%, of revenues for the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 30, 2003 was due to higher servicing costs due to the increased revenues.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,961,000 for the quarter ended March 30, 2003, compared to $3,114,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to assets becoming depreciated or amortized to the full amount under the Companys accounting policy, offset by the addition of the Pure Fill assets acquired.
SG&A expenses for the quarter ended March 30, 2003 decreased slightly to $2,364,000, or 14.3% of revenues, compared to $2,428,000, or 15.8% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues for the quarter ended March 30, 2003 was the result of SG&A expenses remaining relatively constant even though revenues increased.
Last year during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 in connection with the Pure Fill acquisition, the Company incurred integration and restructuring costs of $889,000 (see Acquisition).
Interest expense decreased slightly to $1,450,000, for the quarter ended March 30, 2003, compared to $1,461,000 for the same period last year. The decrease was due to the repayment of all outstanding amounts under the bank credit facility on February 20, 2003, resulting in lower average daily outstanding amounts this year compared to the same period last year. Interest expense will increase in 2003 as a result of the newly exchanged Trust Preferred Securities (see Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note 5).
Investment expense for the quarter ended March 30, 2003, was $24,000 compared to $17,000 for the same period last year. The net investment expense totaling $24,000, consisted of management fees of $1,000, investment earnings of $27,000, and net realized losses on the maturities of investments of $50,000. This compares to prior year net investment expense totaling $17,000, which consisted of management fees of $1,000, investment earnings of $49,000, and a net realized loss on the sale or maturities of investments of $65,000.
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 related to its ability to carryback additional net operating losses and recover previously paid U.S. federal income taxes during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
During fiscal 2001, the Company issued 16,000 shares of 8% Glacier Water Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock). Dividends of $32,000 have been accrued on the Preferred Stock as of March 30, 2003 and will reduce any amounts available to the common stockholders.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a loss applicable to common stockholders of $968,000 for the quarter ended March 30, 2003 compared to $2,147,000 for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash and investments, cash flows from operations and funds available under the Companys credit facility. In connection with the Pure Fill acquisition, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 credit facility with City National Bank on February 19, 2002. The $10,000,000 credit facility consisted of a $4,000,000
12
revolving credit portion and a $6,000,000 term portion. On February 1, 2003, the Company restructured the term portion, which had an outstanding balance of $4,800,000 as of that date. The term portion was canceled and replaced with a new revolving note with a maximum availability of $4,800,000. The credit availability on the new revolving note is reduced by $300,000 every three months beginning May 1, 2003 until its maturity in February 2007. The credit facility contains certain customary financial covenants, which restrict indebtedness and capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance at March 30, 2003 with all such covenants. The Company pledged certain assets such as repair parts inventory and equipment as collateral for its obligations under the new credit facility. The new revolving note requires monthly interest payments at the Banks prime rate plus 1.50% (5.75% per annum at March 30, 2003). The original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility (which remains in effect) requires monthly interest payments at the Banks prime rate plus 1.00% (5.25% per annum at March 30, 2003). The new revolving note and the original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility require a quarterly unused facility fee of 0.50% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively. During the quarter ended March 30, 2003, the Company repaid the new revolving note and as of March 30, 2003, there were no amounts outstanding on either the new revolving note or the original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility. Availability under the new revolving note and the original $4,000,000 revolving credit portion of the credit facility was $4,800,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, for a total of $8,800,000.
At March 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $3,288,000 and net working capital of $3,749,000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,098,000; net cash used in investing activities was $849,000; and net cash used in financing activities was $4,837,000 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2003. The Companys stockholders equity as of March 30, 2003 was a negative $6,972,000, which amount continues to be below the continued listing guidelines. Accordingly, it is possible that the American Stock Exchange could take action to delist the Companys stock.
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.
Beginning in August 1999, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the 9.0625% Trust Preferred Securities issued by Glacier Water Trust I, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and guaranteed by the Company (the Trust Preferred Securities). As of March 30, 2003, the cumulative number of repurchased Trust Preferred Securities totaled 921,400. The Company did not repurchase any Trust Preferred Securities during the three-month periods ended March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002. As of March 30, 2003, there were 2,478,600 Trust Preferred Securities outstanding (other than those held by the Company), which had a carrying value of $61,965,000 and have a maturity date of January 31, 2028. All Trust Preferred Securities, other than those held by the Company, are included in long-term debt.
Pursuant to an Exchange Offer, which commenced on February 26, 2003 and expired on April 11, 2003, 983,880 shares of Common Stock were exchanged for a total of 787,105 Trust Preferred Securities at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for eight-tenths of a Trust Preferred Security. Each Trust Preferred Security has a liquidation value of $25.00 per share. The Exchange Offer increased long-term debt by approximately $19,678,000. The Company will incur additional annual interest of approximately $1,783,000 in connection with the newly exchanged Trust Preferred Securities. On a proforma basis, as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2003, the additional interest expense associated with newly exchanged Trust Preferred Securities would have increased stockholders deficit and net loss applicable to common stockholders by approximately $446,000 and basic and diluted loss per share by $0.16, respectively, for the quarter ended March 30, 2003.
13
Acquisition
On February 8, 2002, Glacier acquired substantially all of the assets of Pure Fill Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Water Services, Pure Fill Finance Corporation and Pure Fill Container Corporation (collectively, Pure Fill), for a purchase price of $6,064,000, including $640,000 which is payable in equal quarterly installments over four years. The Company incurred transaction costs of $450,000. 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 allocation of fair values of assets and liabilities were based upon a third party appraisal. The excess of purchase price over acquired net assets was $4,129,000 and is classified as goodwill.
Costs associated with the restructuring of existing Glacier operations and costs necessary to integrate the assets of Glacier and Pure Fill that were expected to benefit future operations were expensed as integration and restructuring costs after management completed and approved the restructuring plans and associated costs. Integration costs totaled $889,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and have been recognized as integration and restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Developments
In June 2001, the FASB 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 implementation of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2002, the FASB 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 adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB 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 adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN No. 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,which clarifies disclosure and recognition/measurement requirements related to certain guarantees. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and the recognition/measurement requirements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Companys primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Companys outstanding bank debt is tied to the banks prime lending rate and as such, the Company is at risk due to increases in market rates. A ten percent change in the banks lending rate would have the potential of increasing the interest on the expected average outstanding borrowings of the bank debt and impacting the future earning of the Company by less than $27,000 annually. The Companys exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations associated with the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company believes that the fixed rate represents the Companys long-term market rate. Therefore, there is no significant opportunity cost associated with the fixed rate. At March 30, 2003, the Company held a portfolio of marketable securities consisting entirely of debt instruments available-for-sale with an estimated fair value equal to $568,000. As of March 30, 2003, the Company held no convertible debt securities or equity securities available-for-sale. The Companys entire portfolio is invested by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., a related party, primarily in fixed-rate corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in these periodic reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures adequately and effectively meet the requirements described in the preceding sentence. In addition, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Glacier is the defendant in an action brought by the Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) in December 2002 in California Superior Court. The complaint in this action claims that some of Glaciers machines failed to remove chemical byproducts of the chlorination process found in the source municipal water to the maximum level specified in a California statute and accordingly alleges that Glacier is engaging in unlawful and fraudulent business practices and false advertising. The complaint does not allege any claims based on the safety of Glaciers water. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and repayment of unspecified amounts to customers. Glacier has been notified by the City of Los Angeles (the City) that it is considering bringing a similar action. Glacier has discussed the matter jointly with ELF and the City. In connection with those discussions, Glacier is seeking to clarify and evaluate an initial offer to resolve the concerns of ELF and the City. Glacier anticipates that it will continue with ELF and the City towards a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter. Such resolution may involve the payment of money and other expenses, but Glacier does not believe this will materially impact its business or financial condition. In the absence of a consensual resolution, Glacier intends to vigorously defend against all such claims and does not believe that it will have any material liability in connection with any such action.
