NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Pyramid Breweries Inc. (the “Company”), a Washington corporation, is engaged in the brewing, marketing and selling of craft beers and premium sodas and in restaurant operations. The Company operates breweries in Seattle, Washington, Berkeley, California and Walnut Creek California and recently constructed a fourth alehouse and brewery in Sacramento, California which opened July 3, 2003. The Company sells its beer through a network of selected independent distributors and alehouse locations primarily in Washington, Oregon and California under the Pyramid and, to a lesser extent, the Thomas Kemper brand. Pyramid also manufactures a line of gourmet sodas under the Thomas Kemper Soda Company label. As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s products were distributed in 32 states and Canada. The Company also operates four restaurants adjacent to its breweries under the Pyramid Alehouse brand name.

     The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. For a presentation including all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock Based Compensation

     At June 30, 2003, the Company has stock-based compensation plans which are described more fully in Note 15 of the 2002 Annual report. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the fair value of options issued under the Employee and Director Plans (the Plans) except as described in Note 4. Had compensation cost been recognized based on the fair value at the date of grant for options awarded under the Plans, the pro forma amounts of the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, would have been as follows:

                                 
    Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,
   
 
    2003   2002   2003   2002
   
 
 
 
Net income (loss) as reported
  $ 445,000     $ 594,000     $ (280,000 )   $ (174,000 )
Add: Stock-based compensation cost as reported
    59,000       12,000       63,000       46,000  
Less: Stock-based compensation cost determined under the fair value based method
    (73,000 )     (76,000 )     (125,000 )     (148,000 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
Net income (loss) pro forma
  $ 431,000     $ 530,000     $ (342,000 )   $ (276,000 )
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share as reported
  $ 0.05     $ 0.07     $ (0.03 )   $ (0.02 )
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share pro forma
  $ 0.05     $ 0.06     $ (0.04 )   $ (0.03 )

     The fair value of options granted in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.98%; expected option lives of seven years; expected volatility of 51%; and expected future dividends of 5.5%. The fair value of options granted in the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.09%; expected option lives of seven years; expected volatility of 51%; and expected future dividends of 7.5%.

     The fair value of options granted in the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 3.98% to 5.13%; expected option lives of seven years; expected volatility of 51% to 52%; and expected future dividends.

In addition, the Company issued a $115,000 full recourse note to the CEO to fund his payment of taxes on the exercise of the options. The notes are due on the earlier of June 30, 2011 or upon the sale of the stock and bear an annual interest rate of 5.6%. A total of 135,100 of those shares were unrestricted, except for being pledged as collateral for the loans, and the remaining 252,300 shares become unrestricted over the next two years.

7.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings (loss) per share was computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to repurchase. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares of common stock outstanding plus additional common shares that would be outstanding from in-the-money stock options upon application of the treasury stock method. The effect of stock options has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect is antidilutive. Options to purchase approximately 183,000 and 263,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of EPS because their effects are antidilutive.
