THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Boston Beer Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is engaged in the business of brewing and selling malt beverages and cider products throughout the United States and in selected international markets. The accompanying consolidated financial position as of June 29, 2002 and the results of its consolidated operations and consolidated cash flows for the quarters ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001.

Management’s Opinion

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial position as of June 29, 2002 and the results of its consolidated operations and consolidated cash flows for the interim periods ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

B.     SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments held by the Company as of June 29, 2002 were classified as available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, and trading securities, depending upon the nature of the investment. Available-for-sale investments include mutual funds comprised of United States taxable and tax-advantaged government-related securities. The cost of available-for-sale investments were $32.5 million and $0, as of June 29, 2002 and December 29, 2001, respectively. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair market value, with the change in fair market value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. Held-to-maturity investments consisted of debt securities, which typically mature in one year or less and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity. The aggregate fair value at June 29, 2002 and December 29, 2001 was $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for investments in United States government obligations and corporate debt. The Company received equity securities during the quarter ended June 29, 2002 as a result of the demutualization of a third party insurance company. These securities were classified as trading securities with unrealized income of $1.3 million reflected in the income statement as of June 29, 2002.

The Company recorded unrealized gains of approximately $110,000 and $106,000 on available-for-sale securities as of June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001. There were no realized gains or losses recorded during the period ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001.
