BUSINESS BUSINESS INTRODUCTION The Company is a leading producer of premium table wines. The Company produces and markets fine wines under the following labels: Robert Mondavi Winery, Robert Mondavi Private Selection, La Famiglia di Robert Mondavi, Woodbridge Winery, Arrowood Vineyards & Winery, Byron Vineyard & Winery and Io. The Company also produces Opus One in partnership with the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild of Bordeaux, France; Luce, Lucente and Danzante in partnership with the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi of Tuscany, Italy; and Sena and Caliterra in partnership with the Eduardo Chadwick family of Vina Errazuriz in Chile. The Company also has a minority stake in Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, a famous estate in the Bolgheri appellation of Tuscany, producer of Ornellaia and Masseto. In July 2001, the Company formalized a joint venture with Southcorp Limited to produce, market and sell wines from Australia and from California. Robert Mondavi Winery was founded in 1966, and the Company was incorporated under the laws of California in 1981 as a holding company for the various business interests of the Robert Mondavi Winery. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 7801 St. Helena Highway, Oakville, California 94562. Its telephone number is (707) 226-1395. As used herein, unless the context indicates otherwise, the "Company" shall mean The Robert Mondavi Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND The wine industry is generally segregated into three categories: premium table wines that retail for more than $3 per 750ml bottle; "jug" wines that retail for less than $3 per 750ml bottle; and other wine products, such as sparkling wines, fortified wines, wine coolers and flavored wines. The Company produces and sells only premium table wines. The premium category is generally divided by the trade into four sub-categories: popular premium ($3-$7 per 750ml); super premium ($7-$14 per 750ml); ultra premium ($14-$25 per 750ml); and luxury (over $25 per 750ml). The Company sells wines in each sub-category of the premium table wine market. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION The Company's marketing focus is on education, emphasizing the association of fine wines with fine foods. The Company utilizes consumer advertising, educational wine tastings, seminars and a broad array of promotional and public relations activities. The Company's wines are available through all principal retail channels for premium table wine, including fine restaurants, hotels, specialty shops, supermarkets and club stores in all fifty states and 90 countries throughout the world. Sales of the Company's products outside the United States accounted for approximately 8% of net revenues in fiscal 2001. The Company's wines are primarily sold through distributors, who then sell to retailers and restaurateurs. Domestic sales of the Company's wines are made through more than 100 independent wine and spirits distributors. International sales are made through independent importers and brokers. 2 3 The Company's wines are distributed in California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Hawaii, Kentucky and New Mexico by Southern Wine & Spirits, a large national beverage distributor. Sales to Southern Wine & Spirits nationwide represented approximately 29%, 30% and 29% of the Company's gross revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Sales to the Company's 15 largest distributors represented 58% of the Company's gross revenues in fiscal 2001. The Company's distributors also offer premium table wines of other companies that directly compete with the Company's products. Sales of the Company's wines in California accounted for 22%, 22% and 23% of the Company's gross revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Other major domestic markets include Florida, New York, Texas, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, where annual sales represented collectively 27%, 28% and 29% of the Company's gross revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. GRAPE SUPPLY The Company controls approximately 9,800 acres of vineyards in the top winegrowing regions of California, including Napa Valley, Lodi, Mendocino County, Monterey County, San Luis Obispo County, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County and Sonoma County. In addition, the Company's joint ventures control approximately 1,600 acres of vineyards in the top winegrowing regions of Chile, Italy and California. Approximately 8,900 acres of the Company-controlled vineyards are currently planted and the Company expects to plant the balance of the California acreage within the next three years. In fiscal 2001, approximately 7% of the Company's total grape supply came from Company-controlled vineyards, including approximately 46% of the grape supply for wines produced at the Robert Mondavi Winery in Oakville. The Company purchases the balance of its California grape supply from approximately 360 independent growers, including approximately 100 growers in Napa Valley. The grower contracts range from one-year spot market purchases to intermediate and long-term agreements. Winemaking and grape growing are subject to a variety of agricultural risks. Various diseases, pests and certain weather conditions can materially and adversely affect the quality and quantity of grapes available to the Company, thereby materially and adversely affecting the supply of the Company's products and its profitability. The Company has had limited experience with Pierce's Disease, a disease that destroys individual vines and for which there is no known cure. Recently, a new carrier of Pierce's Disease, the Glassy Winged Sharpshooter, has infected vineyards in Southern California. If this pest migrates north to the Company's vineyards, it could greatly increase the incidence of Pierce's Disease and materially and adversely affect the Company's future grape supply. 3 4 WINEMAKING The Company's winemaking philosophy is to make wines in the traditional manner by starting with high quality fruit and handling it as gently and naturally as possible all the way to the bottle. The Company emphasizes traditional barrel aging as a cornerstone of its winemaking approach. The Company views its barrels as key winemaking assets and its substantial annual investment in new oak barrels enables it to consistently produce premium quality wines and to accomplish both its economic and stylistic objectives within its system of wineries. Each of the Company's wineries is equipped with modern equipment and technology that is appropriate for the style and scale of the wines being produced. EMPLOYEES The Company employs approximately 1,100 regular, full-time employees. The Company also employs part-time and seasonal workers for its vineyard, production and hospitality operations. None of the Company's employees is represented by a labor union and the Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good. TRADEMARKS The Company maintains federal trademark registrations for its brands, proprietary products and certain logos, motifs and vineyard names. The Company's joint ventures maintain federal trademark registrations for their brands. International trademark registrations are also maintained where it is appropriate to do so. Each of the United States trademark registrations is renewable indefinitely so long as the Company is making a bona fide usage of the trademark. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company operates six wineries, including Robert Mondavi Winery, La Famiglia di Robert Mondavi, Woodbridge, Arrowood, Byron and Opus One, which is co-managed with the owners of Chateau Mouton Rothschild. The current available annual production of all these facilities combined is approximately 10.3 million cases. The Company owns and operates a central warehouse and distribution facility in Lodi, California, near its Woodbridge winery. For information regarding the Company's vineyards, see "Grape Supply" under Item 1 above. The Company leases warehouse space in California. The Company also leases office space in Napa, California, and several cities throughout the United States and abroad. The Company believes that its current facilities, leased and owned, are adequate for its current needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is subject to litigation in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of existing litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or the results of its operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the Company's fourth quarter ended June 30, 2001. 4 5 PART II ITEM 5.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This discussion and other information provided from time to time by the Company contain historical information as well as forward-looking statements about the Company, the premium wine industry and general business and economic conditions. Such forward-looking statements include, for example, projections or predictions about the Company's future growth, consumer demand for its wines, including new brands and brand extensions, margin trends, anticipated future investment in vineyards and other capital projects, the premium wine grape market and the premium wine industry generally. Actual results may differ materially from the Company's present expectations. Among other things, reduced consumer spending, a change in consumer preferences or the length and severity of the current economic downturn in some of the Company's key markets could reduce demand for the Company's wines. Similarly, competition from numerous domestic and foreign vintners, coupled with changes in foreign currency valuations, could affect the Company's volume and revenue growth outlook, as could attendance projections at Disney's California Adventure theme park. The price of grapes, the Company's single largest product cost, is beyond the Company's control and higher grape costs may put more pressure on the Company's gross profit margin than is currently forecast. Interest rates and other business and economic conditions could change significantly the cost and risks of projected capital spending. For these and other reasons, no forward-looking statement by the Company can nor should be taken as a guarantee of what will happen in the future. KEY ACCOUNTING MATTERS The Company recorded inventory step-up charges associated with the acquisition of Arrowood Vineyards & Winery in fiscal 2001 and the acquisition of a minority interest in an Italian winery in fiscal 2000. Under purchase accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the acquired company based on their estimated fair market values at the time of the transaction. When the inventory acquired is subsequently sold in the normal course of business, costs of the inventory are charged to cost of goods sold, including the amount of the inventory step-up (the difference between the original book value of the inventory and the fair market value of the inventory upon acquisition). The inventory step-up charges reduce the Company's reported net income. The adjusted figures discussed throughout this report, which better reflect the results of the Company's ongoing operations, exclude inventory step-up charges, as well as a net gain primarily related to the sale of vineyards in fiscal 2000 and reorganization and other one-time charges recorded in fiscal 1999. For a further discussion of the reorganization and other one-time charges, see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company changed its wine inventory costing method from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The change was applied to prior periods by retroactively restating the financial statements. For a further discussion of the impact of, and reasons for, this accounting change, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's joint venture interests are accounted for as investments under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company's share of their results is reflected in "equity in net income of joint ventures" and "investments in joint ventures" on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The Company also imports wines under importing and marketing agreements with certain of its joint ventures and their affiliates. Under the terms of these agreements the Company purchases wine for resale in the United States. Revenues and expenses related to importing and selling these wines are included in the appropriate sections of the Consolidated Statements of Income. 7 8 SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company has historically experienced and expects to continue experiencing seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in its net revenues, gross profit, equity income from joint ventures and net income. Sales volume tends to increase in advance of holiday periods, before price increases go into effect, and during promotional periods, which generally last for one month. Sales volume tends to decrease if distributors begin a quarter with larger than standard inventory levels. The timing of releases for certain luxury wines can also have a significant impact on quarterly results. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's net revenues and adjusted net income for each of the last eight fiscal quarters: FISCAL 2001 QUARTER ENDED FISCAL 2000 QUARTER ENDED ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- SEP. 30 DEC. 31 MAR. 31 JUN. 30 SEP. 30 DEC. 31 MAR. 31 JUN. 30 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- (In millions) Net revenues $97.3 $148.4 $118.0 $142.1 $80.9 $122.2 $99.4 $125.2 % of annual net revenues 19.2% 29.4% 23.3% 28.1% 18.9% 28.6% 23.2% 29.3% Adjusted net income $11.3 $ 15.3 $ 10.0 $ 11.6 $ 9.3 $ 13.1 $ 8.5 $ 9.7 % of annual adjusted net income 23.4% 31.7% 20.8% 24.1% 22.9% 32.3% 20.9% 23.9% Seasonal cash requirements increase just after harvest in the fall as a result of contract grape payments and, to a lesser degree, due to the large seasonal work force employed in both the vineyards and wineries during harvest. Also, many grape contracts include a deferral of a portion of the payment obligations until April 1st of the following calendar year, resulting in significant cash payments on March 31 of each year. As a result of harvest costs and the timing of its contract grape payments, the Company's borrowings, net of cash, generally peak during December and March of each year. Cash requirements also fluctuate depending on the level and timing of capital spending and joint venture investments. The following table sets forth the Company's total borrowings, net of cash, at the end of each of its last eight fiscal quarters: FISCAL 2001 QUARTER ENDED FISCAL 2000 QUARTER ENDED ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- SEP. 30 DEC. 31 MAR. 31 JUN. 30 SEP. 30 DEC. 31 MAR. 31 JUN. 30 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- (In millions) Total borrowings, net of cash $315.9 $364.8 $395.1 $360.4 $249.9 $303.4 $336.5 $307.6 8 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000 NET REVENUES Net revenues increased by 18.3%, reflecting a 14.3% increase in sales volume that was driven by the Woodbridge and Robert Mondavi Coastal brands. Net revenues per case increased by 3.4% to $50.94, reflecting price increases, higher retail revenues and revenues from the Golden Vine Winery, which opened during the third quarter of fiscal 2001. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as reported increased by 16.9%. Adjusted cost of goods sold increased by 14.7%, primarily reflecting increased sales volume. GROSS PROFIT As a result of the factors discussed above, the reported gross profit percentage increased to 47.7% compared to 47.0% reported last year. The adjusted gross profit percentage increased to 48.6% compared to 47.0% last year. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses increased by 25.8% and the ratio of operating expenses to net revenues increased to 31.1% compared to 29.2% a year ago. These increases were primarily due to higher promotional spending per case, start-up costs related to the Golden Vine Winery at Disney's California Adventure theme park and the addition of operating expenses from recent business acquisitions. INTEREST Interest expense increased by 33.5% due to increased average borrowings outstanding associated with facility expansion, business acquisitions and the To Kalon and Golden Vine Winery projects. The Company's average interest rate was 7.12% compared to 7.20% last year. EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF JOINT VENTURES Equity in net income of joint ventures as reported increased by 44.0% due mainly to improved income from Opus One. Adjusted equity in net income of joint ventures increased by 68.6% to $11.6 million, reflecting the Opus One improvement and adjusted equity income from Ornellaia. OTHER "Other" primarily consists of miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items. "Other" as reported includes a net gain primarily related to the sale of vineyards of $2.5 million in fiscal 2000. Adjusted "other" expenses totaled $0.5 million compared to $1.0 million last year. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate remained unchanged from the prior year at 38.5%. NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE As a result of the above factors, net income as reported totaled $43.3 million, or $2.65 per diluted share, compared to $41.6 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, a year ago. Adjusted net income totaled $48.2 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, compared to $40.6 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, a year ago. 9 10 FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999 NET REVENUES Net revenues increased by 15.4%, reflecting a 13.6% increase in sales volume that was driven by the Woodbridge and Robert Mondavi Coastal brands. In addition, net revenues per case increased by 1.6% to $49.25, due mainly to price increases on certain Robert Mondavi Winery Reserve and Napa Valley wines. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as reported increased by 10.3%. Adjusted cost of goods sold increased by 12.7%, reflecting increased sales volume that was partially offset by a shift in sales mix to wines with lower average costs per case. GROSS PROFIT As a result of the factors discussed above, the reported gross profit percentage increased to 47.0% compared to 44.6% reported last year. The adjusted gross profit percentage increased to 47.0% compared to 45.8% last year. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses as reported increased by 19.6%. Adjusted operating expenses increased by 21.4% and the ratio of adjusted operating expenses to net revenues increased to 29.2% compared to 27.8% a year ago. These increases were primarily due to higher promotional spending per case and an increase in certain management incentive programs that are tied to the Company's profitability. INTEREST Interest expense increased by 12.8%, due primarily to increases in the Company's average borrowings and its average interest rate. Interest expense associated with higher borrowing levels was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest due to winery renovation and facility expansion projects. The Company's average interest rate was 7.20% compared to 7.06% last year. EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF JOINT VENTURES Equity in net income of joint ventures as reported increased by 20.6% due mainly to improved income from Opus One. Adjusted equity in net income of joint ventures increased by 39.4% to $6.9 million, reflecting the Opus One improvement and adjusted equity income from the Company's recent investment in Ornellaia. OTHER "Other" primarily consists of miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items. "Other" as reported includes a net gain primarily related to the sale of vineyards of $2.5 million in fiscal 2000. Adjusted "other" expenses totaled $1.0 million compared to $1.3 million last year. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate remained unchanged from the prior year at 38.5%. NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE As a result of the above factors, net income as reported totaled $41.6 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, compared to $30.8 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, a year ago. Adjusted net income totaled $40.6 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, compared to $34.5 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, a year ago. 10 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital as of June 30, 2001, was $387.3 million compared to $308.1 million at June 30, 2000. The $79.2 million increase in working capital was primarily attributable to increases in inventories and accounts receivable. Borrowings under the Company's credit lines totaled $61.0 million at June 30, 2001, compared to $79.7 million at June 30, 2000. The Company had a cash balance of $7.2 million at June 30, 2001, compared to $3.0 million at June 30, 2000. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $4.2 million in fiscal 2001, as cash provided by financing activities exceeded cash used in investing and operating activities. Cash used in operations totaled $1.9 million, reflecting net income, net of depreciation and amortization, of $65.2 million that was offset by increases in inventories, required to support expected future sales growth, and accounts receivable. Cash used in investing activities totaled $56.1 million, reflecting the Arrowood acquisition, vineyard development, facility expansion and facility renovation that were partially offset by distributions from joint ventures and proceeds from the sale of certain assets. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $62.2 million, reflecting an increase in borrowings, net of cash, and stock option exercises. Management expects that the Company's working capital needs will grow significantly to support expected future growth in sales volumes. Due to the lengthy aging and processing cycles involved in premium wine production, expenditures for inventory and fixed assets need to be made one to three years or more in advance of anticipated sales. The Company currently expects its capital spending requirements to be between $45 million and $50 million for fiscal 2002. The Company maintains master lease facilities that provide the capacity to fund up to $183.9 million. The combined facilities enable the Company to lease certain real property and equipment to be constructed or acquired. At June 30, 2001, $126.3 million of the combined facilities had been utilized. During fiscal 2001, the Company entered into unsecured term loans totaling $85.0 million. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay down credit line borrowings. The Company has unsecured short-term and long-term credit lines that have maximum credit availability of $91.5 million and $60.0 million, respectively. The short-term credit lines expire as follows: $55.0 million expires on December 20, 2001; and $36.5 million expires on December 22, 2001. The long-term credit lines expire on December 31, 2003. The annual interest rates on these lines are based on various bank programs and ranged from 4.36% to 9.50% during fiscal 2001. The Company anticipates that current capital combined with cash from operating activities and the availability of cash from additional borrowings will be sufficient to meet its liquidity and capital expenditure requirements at least through the end of fiscal 2002. 11 12 ITEM 7A.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Robert Mondavi Corporation (RMC) and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) are primarily engaged in the production and sale of premium table wine. The Company also sells wine under importing and marketing agreements. The Company sells its products principally to distributors for resale to restaurants and retail outlets in the United States. A substantial part of the Company's wine sales is concentrated in California and, to a lesser extent, the states of Florida, New York, Massachusetts, Texas, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Export sales account for approximately 8% of net revenues, with major markets in Canada, Europe and Asia. A summary of significant accounting policies follows: Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RMC and all its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Certain fiscal 2000 and 1999 balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped and title passes to the customer. Revenue from items sold through the Company's retail locations is recognized at the time of sale. No products are sold on consignment. At its July 19-20, 2000 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-14 (EITF 00-14), "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives." EITF 00-14 requires that certain sales incentives be recorded as a reduction of revenue at the date of sale. The Company currently classifies these expenses as selling, general and administrative expenses. At its April 18-19, 2001 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-25 (EITF 00-25), "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer." EITF 00-25 requires that fees paid to retailers, such as slotting fees and cooperative advertising of the Company's product should be recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company currently classifies these expenses as selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company plans to implement EITF 00-14 and EITF 00-25 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, at which time previously reported financial information will be restated. The reclassification of these expenses will result in a decrease in net revenues and a corresponding decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, which will therefore have no effect on net income. During fiscal 2001, the incentives defined in EITF 00-14 and EITF 00-25 totaled approximately $24,900. 17 18 Inventories Effective July 1, 1998, the Company changed its wine inventory costing method from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The primary reasons for the change in accounting method were: management's belief that the FIFO method of accounting better matches revenues and expenses of the Company's wines sold, and therefore provides a better method of reporting the Company's results of operations; the FIFO method of accounting reduces intra-year cost of sales volatility; and the FIFO method of accounting provides improved financial comparability to other publicly-traded companies in the industry. The accounting change has been applied to prior years by retroactively restating the financial statements. In accordance with the general practice in the wine industry, wine inventories are included in current assets, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for periods longer than one year. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in developing vineyards, including related interest costs, are capitalized until the vineyards become commercially productive. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method, with the exception of barrels which are depreciated using an accelerated method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related lease, whichever is shorter. Other assets Other assets include loan fees, license fees, goodwill, label design, restricted cash and notes receivable. Loan fees, license fees, goodwill and label design are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or terms of their related loans, not exceeding 40 years. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under these new accounting rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but remain on the balance sheet and be reviewed for impairment periodically. This new pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 142 during fiscal 2002. In May 2001, the Company loaned $1,750 to its Chilean joint venture under a note receivable agreement. The principal and accrued interest, at a rate of 6.5%, will be due in January 2003. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place. Point of sale materials are accounted for as inventory and charged to expense as utilized. Advertising expense, including point of sale materials charged to expense, totaled $20,465, $15,085 and $14,662, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Income taxes Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method. Under the liability method, taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered, except for potential income tax law or rate changes. 18 19 Other comprehensive income Comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net income under current accounting standards, including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. The Company presents comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. Segment reporting Management organizes financial information primarily by product line for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance. These product lines have been aggregated as a single operating segment in the consolidated financial statements because they share similar economic characteristics, production processes, customer types and distribution methods. Major customers The Company sells the majority of its wines through distributors in the United States and through brokers and agents in export markets. There is a common ownership in several distributorships in different states that, when considered to be one entity, represented 29%, 30% and 29%, respectively, of gross revenues for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Trade accounts receivable from these distributors at June 30, 2001 and 2000 totaled $29,752 and $18,490, respectively. Stock-based compensation The Company measures compensation cost for employee stock options and similar equity instruments using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting. The Company's stock options plans are discussed in Note 10. Earnings per share Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of Class A and Class B common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of common share equivalents for stock option awards. In computing basic earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, no adjustments have been made to net income (numerator) or weighted-average shares outstanding (denominator). The computation of diluted earnings per share for the same periods is identical to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average shares outstanding (denominator) has been increased by 481,000, 474,000 and 451,000, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 to include the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding. Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated based on the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At June 30, 2001, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt was $367,593 and $356,976, respectively. At June 30, 2000, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the company's debt was $310,592 and $302,756, respectively. 19 20 Derivative instruments and hedging activities In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 requires that all derivatives be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities. SFAS 133 also requires that changes in a derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, was adopted on July 1, 2000, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has only a limited involvement with derivative instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. Forward exchange contracts, generally with average maturities of less than one year, are used as protection against the risk that the eventual U.S. dollar cash flows resulting from certain unrecognized firm purchase commitments denominated in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These derivative financial instruments are designated as fair-value hedges. At June 30, 2001, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts, hedging primarily European euro and French franc purchases of barrels and corks, with notional amounts totaling $5,414. Using exchange rates outstanding as of June 30, 2001, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the contracts totaled $5,037. NOTE 2 ACQUISITION On July 13, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Arrowood Vineyards & Winery (Arrowood). The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company also has the option to purchase certain tangible assets, including vineyards and winery facilities, within the next five years for $12,000. In addition, the Company entered into a long-term licensing agreement for use of the Arrowood and Grand Archer brand names. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay license fees of $550 per year through fiscal 2005 and $600 per year from fiscal 2006 through fiscal 2010. The Company also has an option to purchase the brand names for approximately $15,000, which will be adjusted for certain financial performance measures, in 2010. The total cost of the Arrowood acquisition was as follows: Cash paid, net of cash purchased $13,956 Acquisition costs 235 ------- Total purchase price $14,191 ======= The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was made using estimated fair values at the acquisition date based on independent appraisals and on studies performed by management. The purchase price allocations are summarized as follows: Fair market value of assets acquired, net of cash purchased: Accounts receivable $ 657 Inventories 20,010 Property, plant and equipment 1,578 Brand license 4,000 Other 173 ------- 26,418 Liabilities assumed (6,021) Deferred tax liabilities (6,206) ------- $14,191 ======= 20 21 NOTE 3 INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: JUNE 30, -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Wine in production $ 226,214 $ 186,609 Bottled wine 109,674 92,162 Crop costs and supplies 22,868 19,716 --------- -------- $ 358,756 $ 298,487 ========= ========= The Arrowood acquisition described above resulted in the allocation of purchase price in excess of book value, totaling $15,161, to inventories at the date of acquisition. This difference between the original book value and the fair market value of the inventory upon acquisition is referred to as inventory step-up. Included in inventories at June 30, 2001, was $10,243 of inventory step-up remaining from the Arrowood acquisition.

Depreciation expense for machinery and equipment under capital leases was $373, $444 and $565 for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Included in property, plant and equipment is $5,576, $5,511 and $3,513 of interest capitalized for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 21 22 NOTE 5 INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES During fiscal 2000, the Company purchased an interest in Tenuta dell'Ornellaia (Ornellaia), an Italian winery that produces luxury category premium table wines, for $11,593 in cash and 29,976 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The issuance of these shares represents a non-cash investing activity for purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Investments in joint ventures are summarized below.

Company contributions to the Plan are 7% of eligible compensation paid to participating employees. Company contributions to the Plan were $3,323, $2,736 and $2,219 for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Contributions to the Plan are limited by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan to restore contributions limited by the Plan. This plan is administered on an unfunded basis. The unfunded liability related to this plan totaled $1,773 and $1,665 at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company has a deferred compensation plan with certain key executives, officers and directors. Under the provisions of this plan, participants may elect to defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation and earn a guaranteed interest rate on their deferred amounts, which was approximately 9.5% and 8.7% for the year ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company's liability under this plan totaled $2,935 and $2,262 at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Amounts deferred are held within a Rabbi Trust for the benefit of the participants. These funds and the accumulated interest were included in other assets. The Company also has a deferred executive incentive compensation plan with certain present and past key officers. Under the provisions of this plan, units are awarded to participants at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The units each earn a percentage of Company profits as defined by the plan over a five year vesting period. In February 1993, the Board of Directors determined that no future units will be awarded under the plan; however, the plan remains in place with respect to existing units. Subject to participant election for deferral of payments and payment terms for participants no longer in the plan, the accrued amounts are distributable in cash when fully vested. The compensation earned on the units and accumulated interest on fully vested amounts not distributed, are accrued but unfunded. The unfunded liability related to this plan totaled $6,571 and $6,466 at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The long-term credit lines expire on December 31, 2003 and have maximum credit available of $60,000. The credit lines bear interest, which is payable monthly, at rates determined under various bank interest programs, ranging from 4.44% to 6.75% at June 30, 2001. The Company had $15,800 and $19,700 outstanding under its short-term credit lines as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. On March 28, 2000, the Company entered into unsecured term loans totaling $50,000 that bear interest, payable semiannually, at a fixed rate of 7.93%. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay down credit line borrowings. On January 31, 2001, the Company entered into unsecured term loans totaling $55,000 that bear interest, payable at fixed rates between 7.27% and 7.37%. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay down credit line borrowings. On April 5, 2001, the Company entered into unsecured term loans totaling $30,000 that bear interest, payable semiannually, at a fixed rate of 7.28%. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay down credit line borrowings. Property, plant and equipment with a net book value of approximately $24,002 at June 30, 2001, is pledged as collateral for long-term debt. The terms of the unsecured credit lines and certain long-term debt agreements include covenants that require the maintenance of various minimum financial ratios and other covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants requires the ratio of net tangible assets to debt maturing in excess of one year to be 1.75 to 1 or greater. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants during the year ended June 30, 2001. 24 25 NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes consists of the following: YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Current: Federal $27,053 $21,502 $19,684 State 4,459 3,629 2,465 ------- ------- ------- 31,512 25,131 22,149 ------- ------- ------- Deferred: Federal (3,578) 877 (2,428) State (836) (4) (464) ------- ------- ------- (4,414) 873 (2,892) ------- ------- ------- $27,098 $26,004 $19,257 ======= ======= ======= Income tax expense differs from the amount computed by multiplying the statutory federal income tax rate times income before taxes, due to the following: YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Federal statutory rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State income taxes, net of federal benefit 2.8 3.5 2.6 Permanent differences 0.0 0.5 0.5 Other 0.7 (0.5) 0.4 ---- ---- ---- 38.5% 38.5% 38.5% ==== ==== ==== The approximate effect of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to deferred tax balances at June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: JUNE 30, --------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- GROSS DEFERRED TAX ASSETS Liabilities and accruals $ (4,154) $ (3,220) Deferred compensation (3,865) (3,542) Foreign tax credits (2,121) (692) Investments in joint ventures (40) -- -------- -------- Gross deferred tax assets (10,180) (7,454) -------- -------- GROSS DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES Property, plant and equipment 30,426 26,338 Retirement plans 890 821 Inventories 274 957 Receivables 109 217 Investments in joint ventures -- 706 State taxes 327 358 -------- -------- Gross deferred tax liabilities 32,026 29,397 -------- -------- Net deferred tax liability $ 21,846 $ 21,943 ======== ======== The Company has foreign tax credits at June 30, 2001 that can be utilized upon repatriation of foreign source earnings and can be carried forward five years thereafter. During the year ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized certain tax benefits related to stock option plans in the amount of $4,767 and $514, respectively. These benefits were recorded as a decrease in income taxes payable and an increase in paid-in capital. 25 26 NOTE 9 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. During fiscal 2001, 420,295 shares of Class B Common Stock were converted into 420,295 shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion of the shares represents a non-cash financing activity for purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The holders of the Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class, elect 25% of the total Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, elect the remaining directors. All shares of common stock share equally in dividends, except that any stock dividends are payable only to holders of the respective class. If dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock are made to either class of common stock, a pro rata and simultaneous dividend or distribution payable in shares of stock must be made to the other class of common stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after distributions as required to the holders of outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, all shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock share equally in the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution. The holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and the Company are parties to a Stock Buy-Sell Agreement. Subject to the provisions of the Buy-Sell Agreement, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into Class A Common Stock on a share-for-share basis. The Class A Common Stock is not convertible. Included in retained earnings at June 30, 2001, is $8,577 of undistributed income from joint ventures that has been accounted for using the equity method. NOTE 10 STOCK OPTION AND EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANS The Company has stock option plans and an employee stock purchase plan that are described below. The Company accounts for its plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting and no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans or its employee stock purchase plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans, net income would have been $40,588, $38,903 and $28,738, respectively, and earnings per diluted share would have been $2.49, $2,43, and $1.81, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. For purposes of calculating compensation cost using the fair value-based method, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility of 48%, 50% and 50%; risk-free interest rates of 5.55%, 5.70% and 4.79%; and expected lives of three to five years for all years. 26 27 Stock Option Plans The Company has two stock option plans: the 1993 Equity Incentive Plan for key employees and the 1993 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan for non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors (the Board). Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to grant both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options for up to 3,185,294 shares of Class A Common Stock. Incentive stock options may not be granted for less than the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock at the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options may not be granted for less than 50% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock at the date of grant. The stock options are exercisable over a period determined by the Board at the time of grant, but no longer than ten years after the date they are granted. Under the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, the Company is authorized to grant options for up to 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. These options may not be granted for less than the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock at the date of grant. Non-employee directors are granted options when they are elected for the first time to the Board. These options become exercisable over five years from the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. Incumbent non-employee directors are granted options annually on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. These options vest in twelve equal monthly installments and expire ten years after the date of grant. A summary of the Company's stock option plans is presented below: June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ----------------------------- ------------------------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Options Exercise Price Options Exercise Price ---------- -------------- --------- ----------------- Outstanding at beginning of year 1,722,048 $24.80 1,638,721 $ 22.89 Granted 287,223 40.45 243,160 36.11 Exercised (439,075) 15.53 (73,398) 14.48 Forfeited (11,256) 44.80 (86,435) 29.15 ---------- ------ --------- -------- Outstanding at end of year 1,558,940 $30.02 1,722,048 $ 24.80 ========== ====== ========= ======== Options exercisable at year end 1,005,907 $27.02 1,239,932 $ 22.26 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at June 30, 2001: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable ----------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Weighted Average Weighted Weighted Range of Remaining Average Average Exercise Prices Options Contractual Life Exercise Price Options Exercise Price --------------- --------- ---------------- -------------- -------- -------------- $38.01 to $52.00 417,684 8.11 years $46.04 174,359 $49.79 15.01 to 38.00 833,956 6.73 years 28.73 524,248 28.41 11.01 to 15.00 261,799 1.72 years 12.30 261,799 12.30 7.00 to 11.00 45,501 3.23 years 8.39 45,501 8.39 --------- ---------- ------ --------- ------ 7.00 to 52.00 1,558,940 6.16 years $30.02 1,005,907 $27.02 ========= ========== ====== ========= ====== 27 28 Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Board will from time to time grant rights to eligible employees to purchase Class A Common Stock. Under this plan, the Company is authorized to grant rights to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The purchase price is the lower of 85% of the fair market value on the date the Company grants the right to purchase or 85% of the fair market value on the date of purchase. Employees, through payroll deductions of no more than 15% of their base compensation, may exercise their rights to purchase for the period specified in the related offering. During the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, shares totaling 17,536, 19,273 and 16,622, respectively, were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at average prices of $31.93, $27.80 and $32.27, respectively. NOTE 11 REORGANIZATION AND OTHER ONE-TIME CHARGES During fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $2,500 related to the sale and acquisition of vineyards and vineyard land through a non-monetary exchange of assets. This asset exchange represents a non-cash investing activity for purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows. During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company implemented a series of operational and organizational changes aimed at improving its competitiveness and resources for investing in vineyards and wineries and providing stronger marketing support for its wines. These changes included the reduction of approximately 4% of the Company's workforce; the centralization of various support functions; the write-down of excess imported wine inventory; and the write-off of certain vineyard assets. As a result of these operational and organizational changes, the Company recorded one-time charges totaling $6,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, during the second quarter of fiscal 1999. During fiscal 1999, the Company eliminated 36 positions, primarily in Napa Valley winery operations and in the administrative areas. These job eliminations, combined with the centralization of finance, logistics, purchasing and customer service, are intended to make the Company more efficient without affecting wine quality or service levels. As a result of these organizational changes, the Company incurred $1,500 of employee separation expenses during fiscal 1999. All severance payments were made as of June 30, 1999. The Company also completed a strategic review of its product portfolio and decided to focus more of its resources on the Company's core brands: Robert Mondavi Winery, Robert Mondavi Coastal and Woodbridge. As a result, the Company lowered its sales growth expectations for its Vichon Mediterranean brand. Based on revised sales forecasts, the Company determined it had approximately 475,000 gallons of excess imported wine inventory. Accordingly, the Company wrote-down the excess inventory to its fair market value based on current market prices and recent sales of similar wine inventory. The resulting $4,000 write-down, was included in cost of goods sold in fiscal 1999. At June 30, 2000, the Company had completed the sale of the excess inventory and fully utilized the corresponding inventory reserve. The Company also decided to prioritize the replanting of its internal vineyards. As a result, the Company accelerated the removal of certain vineyards for replant. The net book value of the vineyards removed totaled $500, which was included in cost of goods sold in fiscal 1999. 28 29 NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases some of its office space, warehousing facilities, vineyards and equipment under non-cancelable leases accounted for as operating leases. Certain of these leases have options to renew. Rental expense amounted to $8,059, $5,108 and $4,163, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The Company also leases land, machinery and equipment under capital leases. The minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating and capital leases at June 30, 2001 are as follows (in thousands): YEAR ENDING CAPITAL OPERATING JUNE 30, LEASES LEASES ----------- ------- --------- 2002 $ 1,011 $ 9,398 2003 907 9,680 2004 144 10,765 2005 144 11,062 2006 144 9,746 Thereafter 2,318 21,087 ------- ------- 4,668 $71,738 ======= Less amount representing interest (1,362) ------- Present value of minimum lease payments $ 3,306 ======= Interest expense on capital lease obligations was $282, $331 and $385 for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company maintains master lease facilities that provide the capacity to fund up to $183,900. The combined facilities enable the Company to lease certain real property (the Property) to be constructed or acquired. The leases have initial terms of three to four years, after a construction period, with options to renew. Rent obligations for the Property commence on various dates. The Company may, at its option, purchase the Property during or at the end of the lease term for 100% of the then outstanding amounts expended by the lessor to complete the Property. If the Company does not exercise the purchase option, the Company will guarantee a residual value of the Property as determined by the agreement, which was approximately $104,823 at June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2001, $126,293 of the combined facilities had been utilized. The Company has contracted with various growers and certain wineries to supply a large portion of its future grape requirements and a smaller portion of its future bulk wine requirements. While most of these contracts call for prices to be determined by market conditions, several long-term contracts provide for minimum grape or bulk wine purchase prices. The Company is subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of existing litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of its operations, or cash flows. NOTE 13 SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized, was $19,378, $16,026 and $14,382 for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $25,439, $27,796 and $22,149 for the year ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Non-cash investing activities not included in the statements of cash flows include the issuance of stock as part of the acquisition of a minority interest in Ornellaia (Note 5) and a non-monetary exchange of assets (Note 11) during fiscal 2000. Non-cash financing activities not included in the statements of cash flows include the conversions of stock in fiscal 2001 (Note 9) and the tax benefits related to stock option plans in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Note 8). 29 30 NOTE 14 QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS (UNAUDITED) Selected highlights for each of the fiscal quarters during the year ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH QUARTER QUARTER QUARTER QUARTER ------- ------- ------- ------- Year ended June 30, 2001: Net revenues $ 97,278 $148,382 $117,989 $142,178 Gross profit 44,421 68,393 57,418 70,856 Net income 9,849 14,141 8,891 10,413 Earnings per share - Basic .63 .90 .56 .65 Earnings per share - Diluted .61 .87 .54 .63 Year ended June 30, 2000: Net revenues $ 80,896 $122,166 $ 99,409 $125,252 Gross profit 38,420 56,137 46,018 60,655 Net income 9,263 14,625 8,309 9,388 Earnings per share - Basic .60 .94 .53 .61 Earnings per share - Diluted .58 .92 .52 .58 30 31 ITEM 9.
