4 MENDOCINO BREWING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) 1. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS ------------------------- Mendocino Brewing Company, Inc., ("the Company" or "MBC"), has operating subsidiaries, Releta Brewing Company, ("Releta"), and United Breweries International, Limited (UK), ("UBIUK"). In the United States, MBC and its subsidiary, Releta, operate two breweries that produce beer and malt beverages for the specialty "craft" segment of the beer market. The breweries are located in Ukiah, California and Saratoga Springs, New York. The Company also owns and operates a brewpub and gift store located in Hopland, California. The majority of sales for Mendocino Brewing Company are in California. The Company brews several brands, of which Red Tail Ale is the flagship brand. In addition, the Company performs contract brewing for several other brands, and MBC holds the license to distribute Kingfisher Lager in the US. The Company's UK subsidiary, UBIUK, is a holding company for UBSN Limited. UBSN is a distributor of alcoholic beverages, mainly Kingfisher Lager, in the United Kingdom and Europe. The distributorship is located in Faversham, Kent in the United Kingdom. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Mendocino Brewing Company, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Releta Brewing Company, LLC, and UBIUK. All material inter-company balances, profits and transactions have been eliminated. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION --------------------------------------- The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial statements and notes are representations of the management and the Board of Directors, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, - 5 - as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains additional financial and operating information and information concerning the significant accounting policies followed by the Company. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006 or any future period. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, except for the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, SHORT AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS ----------------------------------------------------------- For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, those with original maturities not greater than three months and current maturities less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are considered short-term investments, and those with maturities greater than twelve months from the balance sheet date are considered long-term investments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are deposited with large commercial banks in the US and the UK. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS ------------------------ Costs relating to obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method. Deferred financing costs were $40,500, and the related accumulated amortization at June 30, 2006 was $23,000. Amortization of deferred financing costs charged to operations was $1,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and 2005. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to operations. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS ----------------------------- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables, cash deposits in excess of FDIC limits, and assets located in the United Kingdom. The Company's cash deposits are placed with major financial institutions. Wholesale distributors account for substantially all accounts receivable; therefore, this risk concentration is limited due to the number of distributors and the laws - 6 - regulating the financial affairs of distributors of alcoholic beverages. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has approximately $158,100 in cash deposits and $5,580,200 of accounts receivable due from customers located in the United Kingdom. INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company accounts for its income taxes using the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is "more likely than not" that the related tax benefits will not be realized. Management believes that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the future realization of deferred tax assets and, accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been provided against net deferred tax assets. Tax expense has taken into account any change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets where the realization of various deferred tax assets is subject to uncertainty. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ------------------------ Prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123(R)"), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under the intrinsic value method that was used to account for stock-based awards prior to January 1, 2006, which had been allowed under the original provisions of Statement 123, no stock compensation expense had been recognized in the Company's statement of operations as the exercise price of the Company's stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company's previous accounting for share-based awards under APB 25 for periods beginning in 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R). The - 7 - Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of the beginning of the Company's current year. The Company's financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company's financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of share-based awards that are expected to vest during the period. Stock compensation expense recognized in the Company's statement of operations for 2006 includes compensation expense related to share-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that vested during the current period based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123. Stock compensation expense during the current period also includes compensation expense for the share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As stock compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company's pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, forfeitures were estimated and factored into the expected term of the options. The Company's determination of estimated fair value of share-based awards utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. SFAS 123(R) requires the calculation of the beginning balance of the pool of excess tax benefits (additional paid in capital pool or "APIC pool") available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to its adoption. SFAS 123(R) states that this beginning APIC pool shall include the net excess tax benefits that would have arisen had the company adopted the original Statement 123. FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 123(R)-3 provides a simplified method for determining this APIC pool, which the Company may elect to adopt up to one year from its initial adoption of SFAS 123(R). The Company has not yet determined whether to elect the simplified method for determining its APIC pool as provided in FSP No. 123(R)-3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION NON-EMPLOYEES -------------------------------------- The company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No 123(R) and Emerging Issues Task Force - 8 - ("EITF") No 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services. In 2006 and 2005, the Company did not grant any options or warrants. Additionally, as of January 1, 2005, all outstanding stock options were fully vested. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ------------------------------------------- In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," the basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net loss per share was the same as basic net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, since the effect of any potentially dilutive securities is excluded, as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's net losses. In 2006, all potentially dilutive securities were non-dilutive.

- 9 - The potential shares, which are excluded from the determination of basic and diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive, are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------- June 30, 2006 June 30, 2005 ------------------------ ------------------------- Options to purchase common stock 240,385 340,385 Convertible note 1,759,500 1,648,881 ------------------------ ------------------------- Potential equivalent shares excluded 1,517,318 1,989,266 ======================== ==========================
Diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 does not include the effect of 240,385 common shares related to options (none of which were in-the-money with a weighted average exercise price of $0.52) because their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 also does not include the effect of 1,759,500 common shares related to the 10% Convertible Notes with an average conversion price of $1.50 per share. Diluted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 does not include the effect of 340,385 common shares related to options (none of which were in-the-money with a weighted average exercise price of $0.73) because their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 also does not include the effect of 1,648,881 common shares related to the 10% Convertible Notes with an average conversion price of $1.50 per share. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION ---------------------------- The assets and liabilities of UBIUK were translated at the United Kingdom pound sterling - U.S. dollar exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the statements of operations were translated at the average exchange rates for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Gains and losses resulting from the translations were deferred and recorded as a separate component of consolidated stockholders' equity. Cash at UBIUK was translated at exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and its cash flows were translated at the average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Changes in cash resulting from the translations are presented as a separate item in the statements of cash flows. USE OF ESTIMATES ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America includes having the Company make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The amounts estimated could differ from actual results. Significant estimates include the allowance for bad debts, depreciation and amortization periods, and the future utilization of deferred tax assets. The Company has determined that deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carryforwards in the US may expire prior to utilization. The Company has placed a valuation allowance on these assets in the US. - 10 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) --------------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of the Company's net income (loss) and changes in equity from non-stockholder sources. The accumulated balances of these non-stockholder sources are reflected as a separate item in the equity section of the balance sheet. The components of other comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are reflected as a separate item in the statement of operations. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS ------------------- The Company manages its operations through three business segments: brewing operations, tavern and tasting room operations (domestic) and distributor operations (European Territory). The international business segment sells the Company's products outside the U.S. The Company evaluates performance based on net operating profit. Where applicable, portions of the administrative function expenses are allocated between the operating segments. The operating segments do not share manufacturing or distribution facilities. In the event any materials and/or services are provided to one operating segment by the other, the transaction is valued according to the company's transfer policy, which approximates market price. The costs of operating the manufacturing plants are captured discretely within each segment. The Company's property, plant and equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable are captured and reported discretely within each operating segment. RECLASSIFICATIONS ----------------- Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -------------------------------- In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments". SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAF No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the - 11 - form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have any material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS--AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 140. Companies are required to apply SFAS No. 156 as of the first annual reporting period that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for the recognition, derecognition and measurement in financial statements of tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns. FIN 48 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company will be required to adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, with any cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 and has not yet determined the effect on its earnings or financial position. 2. LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT PLANS ------------------------------ At June 30, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $175,500, a working capital deficit of $ 3,989,400 and an accumulated deficit of $10,916,600. Additionally, the Company has a history of past losses as infrastructure costs were incurred in advance of obtaining customers. Management has taken several actions to ensure that the Company will have sufficient cash for its working capital needs through June 30, 2007, including obtaining a secured line of credit, and reductions in discretionary expenditures, and additional debt financing. The Company refinanced a real estate loan on July 3, 2006 for $3,000,000 and repaid then outstanding loans from Savings Bank of Mendocino County ("SBMC"). In addition, the Company borrowed $350,000 from - 12 - SBMC and paid off the entire outstanding amount due for its delinquent property taxes. Management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its working capital needs through June 30, 2007. The Company is pursuing other refinancing opportunities to augment working capital. 3. INVENTORIES ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market and consist of the following: 30-JUN-06 31-DEC-05 ---------- ---------- Raw Materials $ 473,600 $ 447,900 Beer-in-process 189,900 143,900 Finished Goods 588,200 539,800 Merchandise 18,500 19,800 ---------- ---------- TOTAL $1,270,200 $1,151,400 ========== ========== 4. LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTE PAYABLE ------------------------------- On May 5, 2005, the Company entered into a receivables and inventory-based line of credit transaction with BFI Business Finance ("BFI"), pursuant to which BFI has provided the Company with a $2,000,000 maximum revolving line of credit with an advance rate based on 80% of MBC's qualified accounts receivable, 70% of Releta's qualified accounts receivable, and 50% of the eligible inventory carried by both MBC and Releta (the "BFI Line of Credit"). The BFI Line of Credit had an initial term of twelve months, but could be automatically extended, at the Company's option, for an unlimited number of additional twelve-month periods. However, BFI also retains the right to terminate the BFI Line of Credit at any time, upon 30 days' notice. The minimum monthly interest payment under the BFI Line of Credit is approximately $6,000. On May 6, 2005, the Company used the entire immediately available amount drawable from BFI to pay off the balance remaining outstanding under the CIT Group Line of Credit discussed below. BFI advanced the Company $200,000 under a promissory note on December 31, 2005 payable in weekly installments of $6,665 commencing in January 2006. BFI also advanced the Company an additional amount of $289,938 under another promissory note on April 5, 2006. This note is payable commencing in April 2006 in 18 weekly installments of $3,335 and 22 weekly installments of $10,000. A final installment of $9,908 is due on the maturity date, January 19, 2007. The BFI borrowings carry an interest rate equal to the greater of 9.5%, or the prime rate - 13 - announced in the Western edition of the Wall Street Journal plus 3.75 %, payable monthly. The facility is also subject to a monthly administrative fee of 0.40%. The borrowings are secured by the collateral set forth in the loan and security agreement entered between MBC and BFI. The CIT Group/Credit Finance, Inc. provided MBC a $3,000,000 maximum line of credit secured by all accounts, general intangibles, inventory, and equipment of MBC except for the specific equipment and fixtures of the Company leased from Finova Capital Corporation, as well as by a second deed of trust on the Company's Ukiah land improvements. $1,484,000 of the line of credit was advanced to MBC as an initial term loan, which was repaid in full in consecutive monthly installments of $24,700. The Company used the proceeds from the BFI Facility to pay off the entire amount outstanding on May 6, 2005. On December 31, 2003, Savings Bank of Mendocino County ("SBMC") extended a temporary loan in the principal amount of $576,200 to MBC in order to finance a buy-out of equipment leased through Finova Capital Corporation. The lender extended the loan until May 31, 2006. The rate of interest on the loan is prime plus 3%. This loan was repaid on June 3, 2006 using the proceeds received from the Grand Pacific Financing Corporation real estate loan described below. On July 3, 2006, SBMC extended a temporary loan in the principal amount of $350,000 for a period of six months in order to settle the delinquent property taxes, such loan is secured against the equipment at Ukiah brewery. Nedbank Limited, a South African registered company, provided a credit facility of GBP 1,250,000 to UBSN Ltd. ("UBSN"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Breweries International (UK) Ltd. ("UBI"), which is in turn wholly-owned by the Company. This facility included a revolving short-term loan, overdraft protection, and foreign exchange services. It was secured by all of the assets of UBSN. On April 26, 2005, the balance remaining outstanding on the Nedbank facility was settled in full using the proceeds from the RBS facility (discussed below). On April 26, 2005, Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS") provided an invoice discounting facility for a maximum amount of GBP 1,750,000 based on 80% prepayment against qualified accounts receivable related to UBSN's United Kingdom customers. The initial term of the facility was for a period of one year after which the facility may be terminated by either party by providing the other party with six months notice. The facility carries an interest rate of 1.38% above RBS base rate and a service charge of 0.10% of each invoice discounted. The amount outstanding on this line of credit as of June 30, 2006 was approximately $2,571,400. The Company's credit agreement with RBS contains certain financial - 14 - covenants that require, among other things, maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of working capital; minimum amounts of tangible net worth; and maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth. As of June 30, 2006, certain financial covenants have not been met, and the bank has agreed in writing to continue RBS's lending relationship with UBSN.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT -------------- Maturities of long-term debt for succeeding years are as follows: June 30, 2006 December 31, 2005 -------------------------- --------------------- Note to a bank; payable in monthly installments of $24,400, including interest at the Treasury Constant Maturity Index, plus 4.17% (currently 7.24%); maturing December 2012, with a balloon payment; secured by substantially all of the assets of Mendocino Brewing Company. (This note was repaid in full on July 3, 2006) $ 2,099,300 $ 2,168,400 Payable to the County of Mendocino in two annual installments of $143,600, maturing April 2008. (This note was repaid in full on July 3, 2006) 287,200 430,900 -------------------------- --------------------- 2,386,500 2,599,300 Less current maturities 289,600 284,400 -------------------------- --------------------- $ 2,096,900 $ 2,314,900 ========================== =====================
On July 3, 2006, MBC obtained a $3.0 million loan from Grand Pacific Financing Corporation("GP"), secured by a first priority deed of trust on the Ukiah land, fixtures, and improvements. The loan is payable in partially amortizing monthly installments of $27,261 including interest at the rate of 1.75% over the prime rate published by The Wall Street Journal, maturing July 2, 2011 with a balloon payment. The amount of the balloon payment will vary depending on the change in interest rates over the term of the loan. MBC used the proceeds of the loan to repay in full all the then outstanding loans owed to SBMC. 6. NOTES TO RELATED PARTY ---------------------- SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE -------------------------------------- Notes payable to a related party consist of unsecured convertible notes to United Breweries of America (UBA), with interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%, but not to exceed 10% per year. The notes are convertible into common stock at $1.50 per share. The notes were extended until August 2005. UBA may demand payment within 60 days of the end of the extension period but is precluded from doing so - 15 - because the notes are subordinated to long-term debt agreements with Savings Bank of Mendocino County and the BFI line of credit. The BFI Line of Credit matures in May 2007 and the SBMC facility matures in the year 2012. Therefore, the Company will not require the use of working capital to repay any of the UBA notes until the BFI and SBMC facilities are repaid. Accordingly, the entire amount due under the Notes is classified as a long term liability. The amount outstanding on the notes was $2,639,300 and $2,552,200 including $723,900 and $636,800 of accrued interest at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. 5% NOTES PAYABLE ---------------- Notes payable also includes an unsecured loan from Shepherd Neame Limited payable in annual installments of $100,400 with interest at 5% per year beginning in June 2003 and maturing in December 2012. The amount outstanding (including current maturity) on the note was $665,700 and $721,900 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ----------------------------- LEGAL ----- The Company is periodically involved in legal actions and claims that arise as a result of events that occur in the normal course of operations. The Company is not currently aware of any legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. OPERATING LEASES ---------------- The Company leases many of its operating and office facilities for various terms under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2009 and provide for renewal options ranging from month-to-month to five year terms. In the normal course of business, it is expected that these leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties. The leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined increases which are generally meant to correlate with the Consumer Price Index, subject to certain minimum increases. Also, the agreements generally require the Company to pay executory costs (real estate taxes, insurance and repairs). The Company and its subsidiaries have various lease agreements for the brewpub and gift store in Hopland, California; a sales office in Petaluma, California; land at its Saratoga Springs, New York, facility; a building in the United Kingdom; and certain personal property. The land lease includes a renewal option for two additional five-year periods, which the Company intends to exercise, and some leases are adjusted annually for changes in the consumer price index. The leases begin expiring in 2007. - 16 - KEG MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT ------------------------ In September 2004, the Company renewed the keg management agreement with MicroStar Keg Management LLC. Under this arrangement, MicroStar provides all kegs for which the Company pays a filling and use fee between $5 and $15, depending on territory. The agreement is effective for five years ending in September 2009. If the agreement is terminated, the Company is required to purchase three times the average monthly keg usage for the preceding six-month period from MicroStar at purchase prices ranging from $54 to $84 per keg. The Company expects to continue this relationship. 8.

Among these were a Market Development Agreement, a Distribution Agreement, and a Brewing License Agreement between MBC and UBSN; a Distribution Agreement between UBI and UBSN; a Trademark Licensing Agreement between MBC and Kingfisher of America, Inc.; and a License Agreement between UBI and UB Limited.

STOCK OPTION PLAN ----------------- Under the 1994 Stock Option Plan, which expired during 2004, the Company could issue options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The Plan provided for both incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and options that did not qualify as incentive stock options. The exercise price of incentive options was no less than the fair-market value of the Company's stock at the date the option was granted, while the exercise price of non-statutory options was no less than 85% of the fair-market value per share on the date of grant. Options granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company's stock had an exercise price of no less than 110% of the fair-market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. During 2002, 240,385 non-statutory stock options with a five-year term were issued to the independent members of the Board of Directors at the market price on the date of grant. All options were exercisable at the date of grant and expire on January 3, 2007. - 18 - GENERAL OPTION INFORMATION The following is a summary of changes to outstanding stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2006:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS. -------------- The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity/cash flows of the Company for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months and three months ended June 30, 2005. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In this Report, the term "the Company" and its variants is generally used to refer to Mendocino Brewing Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries, while the term "MBC" is used to refer to Mendocino Brewing Company, Inc. as an individual entity standing alone. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Various portions of this Quarterly Report, including but not limited to the section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contain forward-looking information. Such information involves risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company's business, Management's beliefs, and assumptions made by Management. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and variations of those and similar words are intended to identify such forward-looking information. Any forward-looking statements made by the Company are intended to provide investors with additional information with which they may assess the Company's future potential. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about an uncertain future and are based on information available at the date such statements are issued. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking information due to numerous factors, including but not limited to: changes in the pricing environment for the Company's products; changes in demand for malt beverage products in different Company markets; changes in distributor relationships or performance, changes in customer preference for the Company's malt beverage products; regulatory or legislative changes; the impact of competition, changes in raw materials prices; availability of financing for operations, changes in interest rates; changes in the company's European beer and/or restaurant business, and other risks discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and in general domestic and European economic and political conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, assumptions or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. - 23 - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company's most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results. The Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those determined using the necessary estimates inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, customer receivables, inventories, assets held for sale, fixed asset lives, contingencies and litigation. The Company has also chosen certain accounting policies when options were available, including: o The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to value the majority of the Company's inventories. o 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 cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. 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. If circumstances related to the Company's long-lived assets change, the Company's valuation of the long-lived assets could materially change. o The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets quarterly by assessing the need for and amount of the valuation allowance. This evaluation 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 - 24 - future U.S. taxable income change, the Company's evaluation of its deferred tax assets could materially change. o The Company has adopted EITF - 01-09 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)". This EITF requires that certain cash consideration paid to customers for services or placement fees are to be reported as a reduction in revenue rather than as an expense. The Company has reclassified these items on the income statement as a reduction in revenue and as a corresponding reduction in marketing and selling expenses. This reclassification has no impact on net income. CHANGES IN 2006 On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123(R)") which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic value method, which had been allowed under the original provisions of Statement 123, no stock compensation expense had been recognized in the Company's statement of operations as the exercise price of the Company's stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. These accounting policies are applied consistently for all periods presented. The Company's operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on operating results is included in the footnotes to the Company's consolidated financial statements. SEGMENT INFORMATION Prior to 2001, the Company's business operations were exclusively located in the United States, where it was divided into two segments, manufacturing and distribution of beer, which accounted for the majority of the Company's gross sales, and retail sales (primarily at the Company's Hopland, California, tavern and merchandise store) which generally accounted for less than 5% of gross sales (by revenue). With the Company's acquisition of United Breweries International (UK) , Ltd. ("UBI") in August 2001, however, the Company gained a new business segment, - 25 - distribution of beer outside the United States, primarily in the U.K. and Ireland, continental Europe, and Canada (the "European Territory"). This segment accounted for 60% and 63% of the Company's gross sales during the first six months of the year 2006 and 2005 respectively, with the Company's United States operations, including manufacturing and distribution of beer as well as retail sales (the "Domestic Territory") accounting for the remaining 40% and 37% during the first six months of the year 2006 and 2005, respectively. With expanded wholesale distribution of beer and the closure of the restaurant at the Hopland facility, Management expects that retail sales, as a percentage of total sales, will decrease proportionally to the expected increase in the Company's wholesale sales. SEASONALITY Sales of the Company's products are somewhat seasonal. Historically, sales volumes in all geographic areas have been comparatively low during the first quarter of the calendar year in both the US market and the Company's European Territory. In the US, sales volumes have been stronger during the second and third quarters and slower again during the fourth quarter, while in the Company's European Territory the fourth quarter has generated the highest sales volume. The volume of sales in any given area may also be affected by local weather conditions. Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS The Company ended the first six months of the year 2006 with a net loss of $685,400, as compared to net income of $13,700 for the same period in 2005. As set forth more fully under "Results of Operations," below, during the first six months of the year 2006 the Company experienced an increase in gross sales of $117,400, or 0.74% as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. Costs of goods sold increased by $335,400, or 3.2%, marketing costs decreased by $229,800, or 8.86%, general and administrative costs increased by $665,700, or 35.5%, and interest expenses increased by $86,000, or 18.96%.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 NET SALES Overall net sales for the second quarter of 2006 were $8,328,600, an increase of $88,000, or 1.07%, compared to $8,240,600 for the second quarter of 2005. The increase was mainly due to increased sales and increased selling prices. Domestic Operations: Net sales for the second quarter of 2006 were $3,157,800 compared to $2,992,500 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $165,300, or 5.52%. The sales volume increased to 16,755 barrels in the second quarter of 2006 from 15,691 barrels in the second quarter of 2005; a net increase of 1,064 barrels, or 6.78%. The increase was mainly due to an increase of 1,213 barrels of contract brands. Sales of the Company's domestic brands decreased by 243 barrels, however sales of Kingfisher brands increased by 94 barrels. - 27 - EUROPEAN TERRITORY: Net sales for the second quarter of 2006 were ------------------ $5,170,800 (GBP 2,836,900) compared to $5,248,100 (GBP 2,823,900) during the corresponding period of 2005, a decrease of $77,300, or 1.47%. During the second quarter of 2006, UBSN sold 17,153 barrels, compared to 17,059 barrels during the second quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 94 barrels, or 0.55%. Exchange rate fluctuations decreased the financial effect of the Company's growth in sales in its European Territory. When measured from period to period exclusively in Pounds Sterling (which is the basic currency of account for the European Territory), the Company's net sales in its European Territory increased by 0.46%. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales during the second quarter of 2006 was 70.20%, as compared to 67.21% during the corresponding period of 2005, due to increased costs in the United States and in the United Kingdom. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS: Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in ------------------- the United States during the second quarter of 2006 was 68.99%, as compared to 64.71% during the corresponding period of 2005. This increase of 4.28% is mainly the result of increases in raw and packaging material prices and maintenance and wages, which were partly offset by a decrease in depreciation. EUROPEAN TERRITORY: Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in ------------------ the United Kingdom during the second quarter of 2006 was 71.41%, as compared to 69.03% during the corresponding period in 2005 (in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars, after taking into account the effects of the exchange rate calculation), representing an increase as a percentage of net sales of 2.38%. The increase in prices for the Company's products did not fully offset the cost increases in the United Kingdom. GROSS PROFIT As a result of the higher cost of goods sold described above, gross profit for the second quarter of 2006 decreased to $2,481,700, from $2,702,200 during the corresponding period of 2005, representing a decrease of 8.16%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit during the second quarter of 2006 decreased to 29.8% from 32.79% for the second quarter of 2005. - 28 - OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses for the second quarter of the year 2006 were $2,666,800, an increase of $420,700, or 18.73%, as compared to $2,246,100 for the corresponding period of the year 2005. Operating expenses consist of marketing and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES: The Company's marketing and distribution expenses consist of salaries and commissions, advertising costs, product and sales promotion costs, travel expenses and related costs and the Company's tavern and tasting room expenses. Such expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were $1,104,700, as compared to $1,276,800 for the second quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of 13.48%. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS: Expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were ------------------- $294,100 compared to $333,000 during the corresponding period of 2005, representing a decrease of $38,900. or 11.68%. As a percentage of net sales in the United States, the expenses decreased to 9.32% during the second quarter of 2006, compared to 11.13% during the corresponding period of 2005. The decrease was mainly due to reduced salary and travel costs resulting from a reduction in staff that occurred in the first half of 2005. EUROPEAN TERRITORY: Expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were ------------------ $810,600 compared to $943,800 during the corresponding period of 2005, representing a decrease of $133,200 or 14.11%. As a percentage of net sales in the United Kingdom, the expenses decreased to 15.68% during the second quarter of 2006 compared to 17.98% during the corresponding period of 2005 (in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars, after taking into account the effects of the exchange rate calculation). The decrease resulted mainly from lower freight costs and one-time advertisement campaign expenses incurred in June 2005, partly offset by increase in salaries. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: The Company's general and administrative expenses were $1,562,100 for the second quarter of the year 2006, representing an increase of $592,800 or 61.16%, over $969,300 for the corresponding period in 2005. These expenses were equal to 18.76% of net sales for the second quarter of the year 2006, as compared to 11.76% for the corresponding period in 2005. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS. Domestic general and administrative expenses were ------------------- $456,800 for the second quarter of the year 2006, representing a decrease of $25,800, or 5.35%, from $482,600 for the second quarter of the year 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the transfer of certain parts of common corporate overhead costs to UBSN and reduction in legal expenses which were partly offset by increases in salaries and loan fees. EUROPEAN TERRITORY. General and administrative expenses related to the ------------------ European Territory were $1,105,300 for the second quarter of the year 2006, representing an increase of $618,600 or 127.10%, when compared to $486,700 - 29 - for the second quarter of the year 2005 (in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars, after taking into account the effects of the exchange rate calculation). The increase was mainly due to a provision against bad debts of $554,300 created on account of a customer who earlier had provided a personal guaranty, later filed for liquidation of their operations and a part of common corporate overheads being transferred by MBC to UBSN. OTHER EXPENSES Other expenses for the second quarter of 2006 totaled $271,000, representing an increase of $68,500, or 33.83%, when compared to the second quarter of 2005. The increase was mainly due to higher interest expenses as a result of increased borrowings under the lines of credit and increases in interest rates. INCOME TAXES The Company has a provision for income taxes of $400 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $41,500 for the second quarter of 2005. The provision for taxes related to the estimated amount of taxes that will be imposed by taxing authorities in the United States. NET PROFIT / LOSS The Company's net loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $456,500, as compared to net profit of $212,100 for the second quarter of 2005. After providing for a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $37,100 during the second quarter of 2006 (as compared to a negative currency translation adjustment of $76,100 for the same period in 2005), the comprehensive loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $493,600, compared to a net profit of $136,000 for the same period in 2005. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 NET SALES Overall net sales for the first six months of the year 2006 were $15,600,700, an increase of $103,200, or 0.67%, compared to $15,497,500 for the same period in 2005. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS: Domestic net sales for first six months of the year ------------------- 2006 were $6,009,400 compared to $5,509,300 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $500,100 or 9.08%. The sales volume increased to 32,061 barrels during the first six months of the year 2006 from 29,061 barrels in the first six months of the year 2005, representing an increase of 3,000 barrels. Sales of the Company's brands increased by 209 barrels, sales of the Kingfisher brands increased by 852 barrels, and sales of contract brands increased by 1,939 barrels. EUROPEAN TERRITORY: Net sales for the first six months of the year 2006 ------------------- were $9,591,300 (GBP 5,357,700) compared to $9,988,200 (GBP 5,331,300) - 30 - during the corresponding period of 2005, a decrease of 3.97%. During the first six months of the year 2006, UBSN sold 32,554 barrels compared to 32,351 barrels during the first six months of the year 2005, an increase of 203 barrels, or 0.63%. Exchange rate fluctuations when measured in United States dollars decreased the growth percentage as compared to last year. Hence, when the net sales results are compared in Pounds Sterling, there is an increase of 0.5%. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales during the first six months of the year 2006 was 69.61%, as compared to 67.91% during the corresponding period of 2005. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS: Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in -------------------- the United States during the first six months of the year 2006 was 68.94%, as compared to 67.55%, during the corresponding period of 2005, representing an increase as a percentage of net sales of 1.39% that was mainly due to an increase in raw and packaging material costs, an increase in the price of natural gas and higher maintenance expenses that were partly offset by a decrease in depreciation expenses. EUROPEAN TERRITORY: Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in ------------------- the United Kingdom during the first six months of the year 2006 was 70.56%, as compared to 68.52% during the corresponding period in 2005 (in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars, after taking into account the effects of the exchange rate calculation), due to cost increases that were not fully offset by price increases. GROSS PROFIT As a result of the higher cost of goods sold described above, gross profit for the first six months of the year 2006 decreased to $4,740,500, from $4,972,700 during the corresponding period of 2005, representing a decrease of 4.67%. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit during the first six months of 2006 decreased to 30.39% from that of 32.09% during the corresponding period in 2005. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses for the first six months of the year 2006 were $4,901,400, an increase of $435,900, or 9.76%, as compared to $4,465,500 for the corresponding period of the year 2005. Operating expenses consist of marketing and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES: The Company's marketing and distribution expenses consist of salaries and commissions, advertising costs, product and sales promotion costs, travel expenses and related costs and the Company's tavern and tasting room expenses. Such expenses for the first six months of the year 2006 were $2,363,200, as compared to $2,593,000 for the same period in 2005, representing a decrease of 8.86%. - 31 - DOMESTIC OPERATIONS: Expenses for the first six months of the year 2006 -------------------- were $608,100 compared to $686,500 during the corresponding period of 2005, representing a decrease of $78,400 or 11.42%. As a percentage of net sales in the United States, these expenses decreased to 10.12% during the first six months of the year 2006, compared to 12.46% during the corresponding period of 2005. The decreased expenses included lower salary and travel costs due to a temporary decrease in staffing and decreases in promotional expenses and point of sale items. EUROPEAN TERRITORY: Expenses for the first six months of the year 2006 ------------------ were $1,755,100 compared to $1,906,500 during the corresponding period of 2005, representing a decrease of $151,400 or 7.95%. As a percentage of net sales in the United Kingdom, the expenses decreased to 18.3% during the first six months of the year 2006 compared to 21.03% during the corresponding period of 2005 (in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars, after taking into account the effects of the exchange rate calculation). The decrease resulted mainly from lower freight costs and onetime advertisement campaign expenses incurred during June 2005, offset by increases in personnel costs due to increases in salaries. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: The Company's general and ----------------------------------- administrative expenses were $2,538,200 for the first six months of the year 2006, representing an increase of $665,700 or 35.55%, over $1,872,500 for the corresponding period in 2005. These expenses were equal to 16.27% of net sales for the first six months of the year 2006, as compared to 12.08% for the corresponding period in 2005. DOMESTIC OPERATIONS. Domestic general and administrative expenses were ------------------- $828,900 for the first six months of the year 2006, representing a decrease of $123,600, or 12.98%, from $952,500 for the same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the transfer of a part of common corporate overhead costs to UBSN and one time legal expenses in the year 2005 associated with a material legal dispute with a distributor that was settled in 2004. EUROPEAN TERRITORY. General and administrative expenses related to the ------------------ European Territory were $1,709,300 for the first six months of the year 2006, representing an increase of $789,300 or 85.79%, as compared to $920,000 for the same period in 2005 (in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars, after taking into account the effects of the exchange rate calculation). These increases were mainly due to a provision against bad debts of $554,300 created on account of a customer who earlier had provided a personal guaranty, later filed for liquidation of their operations and a part of common corporate overhead costs being transferred to UBSN by MBC and increases in salaries and depreciation. - 32 - OTHER EXPENSES Other expenses for the first six months of the year 2006 totaled $524,100 representing an increase of $102,300 when compared to the same period in 2005. The increase is mainly due to higher interest expenses as a result of increased borrowings under the lines of credit and higher interest rates. INCOME TAXES The Company has a provision for income taxes of $400 for its domestic operations and nil for its operations in the United Kingdom for the first six months of the year 2006, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1,800 for its domestic operations and $69,900 for its operations in the United Kingdom for the corresponding period in 2005. The provision for taxes is related to the estimated amount of taxes that will be imposed by taxing authorities in the United States and United Kingdom. NET INCOME / LOSS The Company's net loss for the first six months of the year 2006 was $685,400, as compared to net income of $13,700 for the first six months of the year 2005. After providing for a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $43,400 during the first six months of 2006 (as compared to a negative adjustment of $85,400 for the same period in 2005), the comprehensive loss for the first six months of the year 2006 was $728,800, compared to a loss of $71,700 for the same period in 2005. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Unused capacity at the Ukiah and Saratoga Springs facilities has continued to place demands on the Company's working capital. Beginning approximately in the second quarter of 1997, the time at which the Ukiah brewery commenced operations, proceeds from operations have not been able to provide sufficient working capital. The Company's European operations operated at a loss during the first six months of the year 2006. The Company has entered into a substantial number of loan agreements, lines of credit, other credit facilities, and lease agreements over the last several years. In order to continue its operations, the Company will have to make timely payments of its debt and lease commitments as they fall due. Any breach of a loan or lease which actually leads to default, or to an attempt by a creditor to exercise its rights in the Company's tangible or intangible assets, could potentially make it difficult, at least in the short term, for the Company to continue its operations. - 33 - BFI LOAN AND LINE OF CREDIT On May 5, 2005, the Company entered into a receivables and inventory-based line of credit transaction with BFI Business Finance ("BFI"), pursuant to which BFI has provided the Company with a $2,000,000 maximum revolving line of credit with an advance rate based on 80% of MBC's qualified accounts receivable, 70% of Releta's qualified accounts receivable, and 50% of the eligible inventory carried by both MBC and Releta (the "BFI Line of Credit"). The BFI Line of Credit had an initial term of twelve months, and has been extended for an additional twelve-month period, and may automatically extend for an unlimited number of additional twelve-month periods. However, BFI retains the right to terminate the BFI Line of Credit at any time, upon 30 days' notice. The minimum monthly interest payment under the BFI Line of Credit is approximately $6,000. The BFI Facility carries an interest rate equal to the greater of 9.5%, or the prime rate announced in the Western edition of the Wall Street Journal plus 3.75 %, payable monthly. The facility is also subject to a monthly administrative fee of 0.40%. On May 6, 2005, the Company used the entire immediately available amount drawable under the BFI Facility to pay off the remaining outstanding balance under a CIT Group Line of Credit. BFI advanced the Company $200,000 under a promissory note on December 31, 2005. The BFI Note is payable in weekly installments of $6,665, and the Company began paying such installments in January 2006. BFI also advanced the Company an additional $289,937.70 under another promissory note on April 5, 2006. This note is payable in 17 weekly installments of $3,335.00 and 22 weekly installments of $10,000. The Company began paying such weekly installments in April 2006. A final installment of $9,908 is due on the maturity date, January 19, 2007. This note is secured by the collateral set forth in the Loan and Security agreement. MASTER LINE OF CREDIT. On August 31, 1999, MBC and United Breweries of America, Inc. ("UBA"), one of the Company's principal shareholders, entered into a Master Line of Credit Agreement, which was subsequently amended in April 2000 and February 2001 (the "Credit Agreement"). The terms of the Credit Agreement provide the Company with a line of credit in the principal amount of up to $1,600,000. The Company and UBA have executed an Extension of Term of Notes under Master Line of Credit Agreement (the "Extension Agreement"). The Extension Agreement confirms the Company's and UBA's extension of the terms of the UBA Notes for a period ending on August 31, 2005. Although this date has passed, the Company has had discussions with UBA and anticipates that the terms of the UBA Notes will be extended again. - 34 - As of the date of this filing, UBA has made thirteen (13) separate advances to the Company under the Credit Agreement and one additional advance on substantially the same terms as those under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to a series of individual eighteen-month promissory notes issued by the Company to UBA (the "UBA Notes"). The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the UBA Notes as of June 30, 2006 was $1,915,400, and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon was equal to approximately $723,900, for a total of $2,639,300. The outstanding principal amount of the notes and the unpaid interest thereon may be converted, at UBA's discretion, into shares of the Company's unregistered Common Stock at a conversion rate of $1.50 per share. As of June 30, 2006, the outstanding principal and interest on the notes was convertible into 1,759,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock. On December 28, 2001, the Company and UBA entered into a Confirmation of Waiver which confirms that as of August 13, 2001, UBA waived its rights with regard to all conversion rate protection as set forth in the UBA Notes. The UBA Notes require the Company to make quarterly interest payments to UBA on the first day of April, July, October, and January. To date, UBA has permitted the Company to capitalize all accrued interest; therefore, the Company has borrowed the maximum amount available under the facility. Upon maturity of any UBA Notes, unless UBA has given the Company prior instructions to commence repayment of the outstanding principal balance, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such Note may be converted, at the option of UBA, into shares of the Company's common stock. If UBA does not elect to so convert any UBA Notes upon maturity, it has the option to extend the term of such notes for any period of time mutually agreed upon by UBA and the Company. During the extended term of any note, UBA has the right to require the Company to repay the outstanding principal balance, along with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to UBA within sixty (60) days. These UBA Notes are subordinated to credit facilities extended to the Company by BFI and SBMC under a subordination agreement executed by UBA. As per the terms of the subordination agreement, UBA is precluded from demanding repayment of the notes due unless the BFI and SBMC facilities are settled in full. Although the SBMC facilities were settled in full in July 2006, the UBA Notes are also subordinated to the loan with Grand Pacific Financing Corporation as of July 2006. Hence the Company does not expect to make payments on any of these UBA Notes within the next year. LONG TERM DEBT: MBC obtained a $2.7 million loan from Savings Bank of Mendocino County ("SBMC"), secured by a first priority deed of trust on the Ukiah land, fixtures, and improvements. The loan was payable in partially amortizing monthly installments of $24,443 including interest at the rate of 7.24%, maturing - 35 - December 2012 with a balloon payment in the amount of $932,600. The interest rate was adjustable on every five year anniversary of the agreement to the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate plus 4.17%. The amount of the balloon payment varied depending on the change in interest rates over the term of the loan. In addition to the Ukiah land and facility, this loan was secured by certain other assets of the Company (other than the Releta facility), including, without limitation, most of the Company's equipment. This loan was fully settled on July 3, 2006 out of the proceeds from a new loan which the Company received from Grand Pacific Financing Corporation. The Grand Pacific Financing Corporation loan is secured against the Ukiah real property. OTHER LOANS AND CREDIT FACILITIES. SAVINGS BANK OF MENDOCINO TEMPORARY LOAN: On December 31, 2003, Savings Bank of Mendocino County ("SBMC") extended a temporary loan in the principal amount of $576,200 to MBC in order to finance a buy-out of equipment leased through Finova Capital Corporation. The lender extended the loan until May 31, 2006. The rate of interest on the loan is prime plus 3%. This loan was repaid in full on July 3, 2006. ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND FACILITY: In April 2005, Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS") provided UBSN with a GBP 1,750,000 maximum revolving line of credit with an advance rate based on 80% of UBSN's qualified accounts receivable. UBSN utilized the proceeds of this facility to settle a credit facility with Nedbank Limited, a South African registered company, on April 26, 2005. This facility had a minimum maturity of twelve months, but was automatically extended. The facility will continue to be extended for additional twelve month periods unless terminated by either party upon six months' written notice. SHEPHERD NEAME LOAN: Shepherd Neame has a contract with UBSN to brew Kingfisher Premium Lager for the Company's European and Canadian markets. As consideration for extending the brewing contract, Shepherd Neame advanced a loan of (pound)600,000 (Pounds Sterling) to UBSN, repayable in annual installments of (pound)60,000 (Pounds Sterling) per year, commencing in June 2003. The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 5% per year. WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST: The weighted average interest rates paid on the Company's U.S. debts was 10.89% for the first six months of the year 2006 and 8.64% for the corresponding period in 2005. For loans primarily associated with the Company's European territory, the weighted average rate paid was 6.02% for the first six months of the year 2006 and 6.2% for the corresponding period in 2005. KEG MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENT: The Company entered into a five-year keg management agreement with MicroStar Keg Management LLC effective as of - 36 - September 1, 2004. Under this arrangement, MicroStar provides the Company with half-barrel kegs for which the Company pays a filling and use fee. Distributors return the kegs to MicroStar instead of the Company. MicroStar then supplies the Company with additional kegs. If, on any given month, the agreement is not extended and terminates, the Company is required to purchase a certain number of kegs from MicroStar. If such a termination were to occur, the Company anticipates that it would finance the purchase through additional debt or lease financing, if available. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to finance the purchase of kegs. Failure to purchase the necessary kegs from MicroStar on termination of the agreement is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. CURRENT RATIO: The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities on June 30, 2006 was 0.71 to 1.0 and its ratio of total assets to total liabilities was 1.22 to 1.0. On June 30, 2005, the Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 0.84 to 1.0 and its ratio of total assets to total liabilities was 1.35 to 1.0. OVERDUE PROPERTY TAXES: As of June 30, 2003, the delinquent property taxes due on the Company's Ukiah property, including penalties and interest, totaled $718,100, representing overdue taxes for the period from April 1999 to June 2003. On July 31, 2003, the Company entered into a payment plan to settle these issues, pursuant to which it made an initial payment to the County of $143,600. In April 2006, the Company made payment of the 2006 installment, plus interest, for a total payment of $221,200. The remaining balance of the overdue taxes was paid in full on July 3, 2006 using the proceeds of a loan granted to the Company by Grand Pacific Financing Corporation. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS: The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, UBI, has undistributed earnings of approximately $604,300 as of June 30, 2006. Under UBSN's line of credit agreement with RBS, distributions and other payments to the Company from its subsidiary are not permitted if UBSN's retained earnings drop below approximately $1,750,000. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ---------------------------------------------------------- As of June 30, 2006, the Company did not hold derivative instruments, or engage in hedging activities, of any material value or in any material amount, whether for trading or for hedging purposes. The Company has some interest-related market risk due to floating interest rate debt totaling $6,373,400 as of June 30, 2006. INTEREST RATE RISK ------------------ The Company had total debt as of June 30, 2006 of $10,037,900 of which $6,985,700 was subject to variable rates of interest (either prime or LIBOR plus 1.5% or prime plus 3% or prime plus 3.75%). Its long-term debt (including current - 37 - portion) as of June 30, 2006 totaled $4,967,600, of which $3,052,200 had fixed rates of interest and the balance of $1,915,400 was subject to variable rates. Short term debts which were subject to variable rates amounted to $5,070,300. At current borrowing levels, an increase in prime and LIBOR rates of 1% would result in an annual increase of $69,900 in interest expense on the Company's variable rate loans. FOREIGN CURRENCY RATE FLUCTUATIONS ---------------------------------- The Company's earnings and cash flows at its subsidiaries UBI and UBSN are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency rates. The Company believes that changes in the foreign currency exchange rate would not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations as the majority of its foreign transactions are delineated in UBI's functional currency, the British Pound. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ----------------------- The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") has evaluated the effectiveness of the design, maintenance, and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in its reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. Certain aspects of the Company's internal control over financial reporting are included in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, and are therefore included in management's evaluation. Management evaluates internal control over financial reporting on a quarterly basis to determine whether any changes have occurred. Internal control over financial reporting is also evaluated on an annual basis in connection with the preparation of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management's review of the disclosure controls and procedures includes a review of their objectives, design, implementation, and results. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO believe that, subject to the limitations set forth below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time specified by the Commission, and that material information pertaining to the - 38 - Company is timely communicated to the Company's management (including the CEO and CFO). Management is not aware of any changes in the Company's internal or other controls over financial reporting identified in connection with that evaluation that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Please refer to the certifications of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (which are attached to this report as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2) for additional information regarding the Company's controls and procedures. LIMITATIONS ON CONTROLS ----------------------- Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the Company's disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in such controls and procedures, including the fact that human judgment in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal controls can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 5. (A) On July 3, 2006 the closing of a loan agreement between the Company and Grand Pacific Financing Corporation ("Grand Pacific")occured. Under the loan agreement Grand Pacific provided the Company with a loan of $3,000,000 for a term of five years secured by a first deed of trust on the Company's Ukiah real property. In addition, on July 3, 2006, Savings Bank of Mendocino County extended a temporary loan to the Company in the principal amount of $350,000 pursuant to the terms of a promissory note dated June 6, 2006.
