MENDOCINO BREWING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
(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 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"). 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 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. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.   These condensed 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/A, 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, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008 or any future period.


SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
 
 Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) for its financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and non-financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 , the Company elected to defer implementation of FAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting FAS 157 will have on its non-financial assets and liabilities.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in the results of operations. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 for any of its financial assets or liabilities upon adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
Except as noted above, there have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short and Long-Term Investments
 
For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Other investments with 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.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
Costs relating to obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt. Deferred financing costs were $311,300, and the related accumulated amortization at June 30, 2008 was $115,300. Amortization of deferred financing costs charged to operations was $32,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company will continue to amortize these fees until 2011. 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. Substantially all of the Company's cash deposits are deposited with commercial banks in the US and the UK.


Wholesale distributors account for substantially all accounts receivable; therefore, this risk concentration is limited due to the number of distributors and the laws regulating the financial affairs of distributors of alcoholic beverages. The Company has approximately $147,900 in cash deposits and $5,450,000 of accounts receivable due from customers located in the United Kingdom as of June 30, 2008.
 
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 the 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.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
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. 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).
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not grant any options or warrants and no stock options were outstanding as of June 30, 2008.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," the basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of the dilutive effect of the Company's convertible notes for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2008 is shown in the table below.


The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the statements of operations were translated at the average exchange rates for each of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and its cash flows were translated at the average exchange rates for each of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 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.

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, 2008 and 2007 are reflected as a separate item in the statement of operations.
 
Reportable Segments
 
The Company manages its operations through two business segments: brewing operations, including tavern and tasting room operations (domestic) and distributor operations (international). 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 losses or accumulated deficit.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), or SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life.  SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. Generally, the effect of SFAS 141(R) will depend on future acquisitions.
 
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary, provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of the deconsolidation of a subsidiary, and increases transparency through expanded disclosures. Specifically, SFAS 160 requires the recognition of minority interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent company’s equity. It also requires consolidated net earnings in the consolidated statement of earnings to include the amount of net earnings attributable to minority interest. This statement will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is presently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 and believes there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. FAS No. 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS No. 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” (“FSP No. 142-3”), which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The FSP requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, and is an attempt to improve consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. Unlike Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present in Conformity With GAAP,” FAS No. 162 is directed to the entity rather than the auditor. The statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP,” and is not expected to have any impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.


2.   Liquidity and Management Plans
 
At June 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $229,700, a working capital deficit of $2,759,800 and an accumulated deficit of $11,693,800. Additionally, the Company has a history of past losses as infrastructure costs were incurred in advance of obtaining revenues.
 
Management has taken several actions to ensure that the Company will have sufficient cash for its working capital needs through June 30, 2009, including reductions in discretionary expenditures. In addition, the Company’s majority shareholder has issued a letter of support to provide financial assistance, if necessary. The Company would also seek additional capital infusion to support operations. Management believes that these actions combined with increased sales will enable the Company to meet its working capital needs through June 30, 2009. Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company generated income from operations and cash flows from operating activities.

4.   Line of Credit and Note Payable
 
In November 2006, Marquette Business Credit, Inc. ("Marquette") provided a line of credit drawable up to 85% of eligible receivables and 60% of eligible inventory for a period up to June 2011. The borrowings were collateralized, with recourse, by certain eligible trade receivables up to a maximum percentage of 85% of the qualified net amounts of such receivables of each of MBC and Releta and 60% of MBC's and Relata's eligible inventory located in the US. This facility carries interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 4.25% and is secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real property, of Releta and MBC. The amount outstanding on this line of credit as of June 30, 2008 was approximately $1,797,600.
 
The Company retains the right to recall any of the collateralized receivables under the line of credit, and the receivables are subject to recourse. Therefore, the transaction does not qualify as a sale under the terms of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 125 (Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities). Included in the Company's Balance Sheets as accounts receivable at June 30, 2008, are account balances totaling $2,540,900 of uncollected accounts receivables collateralized to Marquette under this facility.
 
On April 26, 2005, Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Services Limited ("RBS") provided an invoice discounting facility to UBSN for a maximum amount of £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 one year period after which time the facility could be terminated by either party by providing the other party with six months notice. This facility carries an interest rate of 1.38% above the 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, 2008 was approximately $2,425,000.


5.   Long-Term Debt
 
Maturities of long-term debt for succeeding years are as follows:
 
   
June 30, 2008

Note to a financial institution, payable in monthly installments of $18,200, plus interest at one month LIBOR plus 5.25% with a balloon payment of $544,600 in June 2011; secured by substantially all assets of Releta Brewing Company and Mendocino Brewing Company, excluding real property at Ukiah.

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") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,915,400, with interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%, but not to exceed 10% per year. The UBA notes have accrued interest of $1,069,200 and $1,000,900 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The UBA notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share. The UBA notes were extended until June 2008. UBA may demand payment within 60 days of the end of the extension period but is precluded from doing so because the notes are subordinated to long-term debt agreements with Grand Pacific Financing Corporation and Marquette Business Credit, both maturing in June 2011. Therefore, the Company will not require the use of working capital to repay any of the UBA notes until the above-mentioned facilities are repaid. Accordingly, the entire amount due under the UBA notes is classified as a long term liability.
 
5% Notes Payable
 
Notes payable also include an unsecured loan from Shepherd Neame Limited to UBSN payable in annual installments of approximately $119,400 with interest at 5% per year beginning June 2003 and maturing June 2013. The amounts outstanding under this loan as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $477,700 and $595,300, respectively, including current maturities of $119,400 and $119,100 on those dates.


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; the building 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.
 
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 the Company for a service fee ranging between $5 and $15, depending on the 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.   Related-Party Transactions
 
MBC and its subsidiaries have entered into or amended several agreements with affiliated and related entities. Among these are 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. UBSN is a party to a brewing agreement and a loan agreement with Shepherd Neame Limited ("Shepherd Neame"). Additional information about these transactions may be found in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.

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.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. In 2008, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the financial statements. The process of preparing financial statements, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding certain items and transactions. These judgments are based on historical experience, current economic and industry trends, information provided by outside sources, and management estimates. It is possible that materially different amounts could be recorded if these estimates and judgments change or if the actual results differ from these estimates and judgments. We consider the following to be our most significant critical accounting policies which involve the judgment of management.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue from sales upon the transfer of title for the goods. We classify amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenues, with the related shipping and handling costs included in cost of goods sold .
 
- 17 -

 
We have 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.
 
Inventories
Consolidated inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the carrying cost of our inventory to ensure that it is stated at the lower of cost or market. Our products are typically not subject to obsolescence and consequently our reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventory have historically been zero. Cash flows from the sale of inventory are reported in cash flows from operations in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
 
Income Taxes
We conduct operations in separate legal entities; as a result, income tax amounts are reflected in these consolidated financial statements for each of those jurisdictions.
 
Net operating losses and credit carryforwards are recorded in the event such benefits are expected to be realized. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of our assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances.
 
Segment Information
 
Our management has identified two primary operating segments, US operations and European operations, which are organized around differences in products and services and are managed separately because each business requires different production, management and marketing strategies. Our US business operations consists of manufacturing and distribution of beer, which accounted for the majority of our gross sales, and retail sales (primarily at our Hopland, California, tavern and merchandise store) which generally accounted for less than 5% of gross sales (by revenue). Our European operations are conducted by our wholly-owned subsidiary, United Breweries International (UK), Ltd. ("UBI") which consists of distribution of beer (primarily Kingfisher) in the U.K. and Ireland, continental Europe, and Canada (the "European Territory"). This segment accounted for 57% and 60% of our gross sales during the first six months of 2008 and 2007 respectively, with our United States operations, including manufacturing and distribution of beer as well as retail sales (the "Domestic Territory") accounting for the remaining 43% and 40% during the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Management expects that retail sales, as a percentage of total sales, will continue to be less than 5% of our wholesale beer sales. We evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses for both segements, and the accounting polices are consistent for both segments.

Seasonality
 
Sales of our 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 Domestic Territory and European Territory. In the Domestic Territory, sales volumes have been stronger during the second and third quarters and slower again during the fourth quarter, while in the European Territory the fourth quarter has generated the highest sales volume. The volume of sales in any given area may also be affected by several factors including local weather conditions. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
 
Recent Developments
Pricing
 
During 2008, we implemented a series of global price increases in response to continuing increases in raw material costs; such price increases were generally broad-based across our product lines.
 
Raw Materials
 
During 2008, we have incurred increases in the costs of malt, barley and hops as a result of increased demand for these commodities. We believe that increased cost of raw materials are affecting our industry generally, and we cannot predict if or when the current situation will change or improve.
 
Summary of Financial Results
 
We ended the first six months of 2008 with a net profit of $352,000, as compared to $65,800 for the same period in 2007. As set forth more fully under "Results of Operations," below, during the first six months of 2008 we experienced an increase in net sales of $1,052,500 as compared to the same period in 2007. Costs of goods sold increased by $1,091,900, marketing costs decreased by $83,500, general and administrative costs decreased by $140,100, and interest expenses decreased by $95,700, all of which contributed to our results for the period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Unused capacity at the Ukiah and Saratoga Springs facilities has continued to place demands on our working capital. Prior to 2008, the proceeds from operations of the US breweries have not been able to provide sufficient working capital. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated positive cash flows from operations. We are a party to several loans, lines of credit, other credit facilities, and lease agreements. We are currently making timely payments on our 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 our tangible or intangible assets, could potentially make it difficult, at least in the short term, for us to continue our operations.
 
We had a $229,000 and $339,700 balance of cash and cash equivalents and a $7,985,900 and $7,411,400 accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At June 30, 2008, our working capital was negative $2.8 million compared to negative $2.9 million at December 31, 2007. The positive change in our working capital reflects our improved operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
    Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $216,200, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $260,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase to net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributed to the higher profitability during the first half of 2008 versus the first half of 2007, which is a result of higher sales prices of beer and expense reductions. We generally do not require significant cash on hand to meet our operating needs.
 
Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $489,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $287,600 million for the same period of the prior year. The net cash used for investing activities consists of capital asset purchases.
 
- 23 -

 
     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $123,400 during the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $386,000 for the same period during 2007. The net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ending June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the proceeds received from borrowings under our line of credit arrangements. As our profitability has increased in 2008, we have reduced our borrowings under our line of credit arrangements.
 
Description of Our Indebtedness
 
MARQUETTE BUSINESS CREDIT LINE OF CREDIT
 
In November 2006, Marquette Business Credit, Inc. ("Marquette") provided a line of credit drawable up to 85% of eligible receivables and 60% of eligible inventory which terminates in June 2011. The borrowings were collateralized, with recourse, by certain eligible trade receivables up to a maximum percentage of 85% of the qualified net amounts of such receivables of each of MBC and Releta and 60% of MBC's and Relata's eligible inventory located in the US. This facility accrues interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 4.25% and is secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding the real property of Releta and MBC.
 
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 with a 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 June 30, 2009.
 
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, 2008 was $1,915,400, and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon was equal to approximately $1,069,200, for a total of $2,984,600.
 
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, 2008, the outstanding principal and interest on the UBA Notes was convertible into approximately 1,989,700 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 of the 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 UBA 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 any UBA Note for any period of time mutually agreed upon by UBA and the Company. During the extended term of any UBA 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.
 
- 24 -

 
The UBA Notes are subordinated to credit facilities extended to the Company by Grand Pacific Financing Corporation ("Grand Pacific") and Marquette under subordination agreements executed by UBA. As per the terms of the subordination agreements, UBA is precluded from demanding repayment of the UBA Notes unless the Grand Pacific and Marquette facilities are settled in full. Hence the Company does not expect to make payments on any of the UBA Notes within the next year.
 
GRAND PACIFIC FINANCING CORPORATION LOAN: On July 3, 2006, MBC obtained a $3.0 million loan from Grand Pacific, secured by a first priority deed of trust on the Ukiah land, fixtures attached to the land, 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 June 28, 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 Savings Bank of Menodcino County. Grand Pacific also collects on a monthly basis an amount of approximately $10,554 towards property taxes payable on the Ukiah property and pays such taxes when they become due.
 
MARQUETTE BUSINESS CREDIT INC. FACILITY: On November 21, 2006, Marquette extended a total facility of $4,925,000 with a maturity date of June 27, 2011 consisting of a $2,750,000 revolving facility, a $1,525,000 term loan and a $650,000 capital expenditure loan. The rate of interest on the term loan and capital expenditure loan is the one-month LIBOR rate published in the Wall Street Journal plus a margin of 5.25% and on the revolving facility is one-month LIBOR rate published in the Wall Street Journal plus a margin of 4.25%. The facility is subject to certain financial covenants including prescribed minimum fixed charges coverage, maintaining prescribed minimum tangible net worth and minimum earning before interest, depreciation and taxes. The facility also has a prepayment penalty if settled prior to the maturity date. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets located in the United States excluding real property and fixtures located at the Company's property in Ukiah, California .
 
OTHER LOANS AND CREDIT FACILITIES.
 
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND FACILITY: Royal Bank of Scotland ("RBS") provided UBSN with a £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 has a minimum maturity of twelve months, but will be automatically extended 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 £600,000 (Pounds Sterling) to UBSN, repayable in annual installments of £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 7.6% for the first six months of 2008 and 10.1% for the corresponding period in 2007. For loans primarily associated with the Company's European territory, the weighted average rate paid was 6.9% for the first six months of 2008 and 6.6% for the corresponding period in 2007.

KEG MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENT: The Company entered into a five-year keg management agreement with MicroStar Keg Management LLC as of 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. The Company would probably finance the purchase through 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, 2008 was 0.79 to 1.0 and its ratio of total assets to total liabilities was 1.18 to 1.0. On June 30, 2007, the Company’s ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 0.80 to 1.0 and its ratio of total assets to total liabilities was 1.18 to 1.0.
 
RESTRICTED NET ASSETS: The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, UBI, has undistributed losses of approximately $635,000 as of June 30, 2008. Under UBSN's line of credit agreement with RBS, distributions and other payments to the Company from its subsidiary are not permitted if retained earnings drop below approximately $2,000,000.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As of June 30, 2008, 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 $10,261,800 as of June 30, 2008.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The Company had total debt as of June 30, 2008 of $10,739,500 of which $10,261,800 was subject to variable rates of interest (either prime or LIBOR plus 1.5% or prime plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 4.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25%). The Company's long-term debt (including current portion) as of June 30, 2008 totaled $6,516,900, of which $477,700 had fixed rates of interest and the balance of $6,039,200 were subject to variable rates. $4,222,600 of the Company's short term debt is subject to variable rates. At current borrowing levels, an increase in prime and LIBOR rates of 1% would result in an annual increase of $102,600 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
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
- 26 -

 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, the company has also identified areas requiring further improvement as identified below. 
 
As of June 30, 2008, the following significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting were identified:
 
1.  We did not formally document certain of the reviews conducted by the financial department in the processing and preparation of the Company's financial statements. These processes include journal entries, account reconciliations, consolidations, equity reconciliations, disclosure checklists and tax return preparation. We plan to remediate these issues by formalizing our documentation of financial reviews.
 
2. We did not conduct sufficient testing in 2007 to satisfy certain Sarbanes-Oxley requirements as a non- accelerated filer. We plan to remediate this issue during 2008.
 
3.  Human Resource documents including job descriptions, employee handbooks, and reviews were not current. We plan to remediate this issue during 2008.
 
4.  The Whistleblower contact has not been established. The Whistleblower contact will be established in 2008, and the contact will be independent of management. 
 
We have enhanced our accounting procedures to review and monitor critical accounts and transactions on a timely basis. We have implemented a new ERP system to further improve controls at our Ukiah brewery and plan to implement the same system at our Saratoga Springs brewery by the end of 2008.
 
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.
