ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS On March 28, 1997, Glacier Water Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), entered into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("McKesson"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson, McKesson Water Products Company, a California corporation ("MWP," together with McKesson, the "Seller"), for the sale of substantially all of the assets (the "Assets") of the Aqua-Vend division of MWP, which acquisition included approximately 3,000 water vending machines at various locations. The Assets consisted primarily of water vending machines and related inventory, contracts rights under location agreements and leases, intellectual property and other equipment. The purchase price of $9,000,000 for the Assets was paid in cash to the Seller by the Registrant at closing. The purchase price of the Assets was financed with borrowings under the Registrant's $35,000,000 credit facility. The Registrant did not assume substantial liabilities of the Seller pursuant to the Agreement other than obligations under certain location agreements and leases of MWP. The Registrant plans to use the Assets in its water vending business. The consideration for the acquisition was determined by arm's-length negotiations among the parties. There is no material relationship between the Registrant and its affiliates, officers and directors (or any associate of any such officers or directors), on the one hand, and McKesson, MWP or their respective officers, directors or affiliates, on the other hand.

These financial statements are the responsibility of Aqua-Vend's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets to be sold of Aqua-Vend as of March 31, 1996 and 1997, and its revenues, direct expenses, and identified corporate expenses before interest and income taxes for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Aqua-Vend consists of certain operations of MWPC. Aqua-Vend receives managerial and administrative services from MWPC. Certain expenses included in the financial statements represent allocations of amounts applicable to McKesson Corporation and MWPC. As a result, Aqua-Vend's assets to be sold and its revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before interest and income taxes may not be indicative of conditions that would have existed or results that would have occurred had Aqua-Vend operated as a stand-alone entity. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP San Francisco, California May 9, 1997 F-2 STATEMENTS OF ASSETS TO BE SOLD MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 1997 ASSETS TO BE SOLD CURRENT ASSETS - Prepaid expenses and other assets $ 1,054,000 $ 488,000 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, Net (Note 4) 13,756,000 6,189,000 OTHER ASSETS 1,695,000 1,229,000 ----------- --------- ASSETS TO BE SOLD $ 16,505,000 $7,906,000 ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- See notes to financial statements.

F-4 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATMENTS YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS The Aqua-Vend Business ("Aqua-Vend"), which consists of certain operations of McKesson Water Products Company ("MWPC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation ("McKesson"), owns and operates water vending machines throughout the United States. On March 28, 1997 McKesson and MWPC entered into an asset purchase agreement with Glacier Water Services Inc. ("Glacier") whereby Glacier purchased for $9 million in cash certain assets and assumed certain real and personal property lease obligations of Aqua-Vend. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Aqua-Vend has no separate legal status but rather is owned and operated by McKesson through its wholly owned subsidiary, MWPC. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of MWPC and present substantially all of the operations of Aqua-Vend (including corporate allocations) for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 and the assets that MWPC sold to Glacier as they existed at March 31, 1996 and 1997. The statements of revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before interest and income taxes may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations that would have resulted had Aqua-Vend been operated as a stand-alone entity and include allocations of certain MWPC and McKesson corporate expenses. Such allocations are based on formulas and include compensation, facilities, administrative and other corporate costs (see Note 5). Payroll, capital expenditures and all other expenditures are funded by McKesson. Sales are collected and deposited by Aqua-Vend but immediately swept into McKesson cash accounts. Accordingly, Aqua-Vend maintains only a minimal petty cash balance. Statements of cash flows are not presented as separate and complete cash flow information is not maintained. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES YEAR-END - McKesson sold Aqua-Vend on March 28, 1997. Aqua-Vend describes its operations through and as of the sale date as March 31, 1997. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally eight to twelve years. The carrying amount of long-lived assets is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that such amounts may not be recoverable (see Note 4). OTHER ASSETS - Included in other assets are costs incurred to obtain sites for water vending machines. These costs are amortized over the contract period. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales are recorded at the time of the water vend. Commissions and other revenue sharing costs are included in cost of sales. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and disclosure of contingent assets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-5 4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment primarily consist of water vending machines. Purchases of equipment for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 were $4,676,000 and $1,564,000, respectively. Depreciation expense for the years ended March 1996 and 1997 was $1,807,000 and $1,846,000, respectively, and is included in cost of sales. Accumulated depreciation for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 were $13,917,000 and $12,557,000, respectively. During fiscal 1997, MWPC reviewed the carrying value of Aqua-Vend's assets for recoverability in connection with the possible sale of Aqua-Vend and determined that the carrying value should be reduced by $7.0 million to reflect the fair value of the assets less costs to sell. Such charge was included in accumulated depreciation at March 31, 1997. 5. CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS Aqua-Vend does not maintain stand-alone corporate treasury, legal, tax and other similar corporate support functions. Aqua-Vend does record certain direct expenses related primarily to employee payroll and benefits, insurance and corporate facilities costs. For purposes of preparing the Aqua-Vend statements of revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before interest and income taxes, certain expenses of MWPC and McKesson were allocated based upon a variety of factors, which included Aqua-Vend sales, the number of Aqua-Vend employees, Aqua-Vend facility usage and the identification of costs specifically attributable to Aqua-Vend. Allocated costs include employee benefit expenses, such as pension and postretirement, of $171,000 and $170,000 for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997. MWPC management believes that these allocations are reasonable; however, they are not necessarily indicative of expenses that would have been incurred by Aqua-Vend on a stand-alone basis. The following represents a summary of the corporate costs allocated to Aqua-Vend which were included in the statements of revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before interest and income taxes: YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 1997 Selling, general and administrative: McKesson costs allocated through MWPC to Aqua-Vend $ 659,000 $ 633,000 MWPC costs allocated to Aqua-Vend 1,051,000 1,009,000 F-6 GLACIER WATER SERVICES, INC. SUMMARY INFORMATION RELATED TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presented herein reflects the pro forma effect of Glacier Water Services, Inc.'s purchase of substantially all of the assets of the Aqua-Vend division of McKesson Water Products Company ("Aqua-Vend"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation effective as of March 28, 1997 (the "Acquisition").
