         Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMCON Distributing Company and Subsidiaries ("AMCON" and "the Company") is
primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of consumer products in the
Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions.  In addition, the Company operates
thirteen retail health food stores in Florida and the Midwest.

AMCON's wholesale distribution business ("ADC") includes five distribution
centers that sell approximately 14,000 different consumer products, including
cigarettes and tobacco products, candy and other confectionery, beverages,
groceries, paper products, health and beauty care products, frozen and
chilled products and institutional food service products.  The Company
distributes products primarily to retailers such as convenience stores,
discount and general merchandise stores, grocery stores and supermarkets,

name Akin's Natural Foods Market (Akin's).  These stores carry natural
supplements, groceries, health and beauty care products and other food items.

Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire year.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly
present the financial information included therein, such adjustments
consisting of normal recurring items.  The Company believes that although the
disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being
misleading, these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

For purposes of this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, all
references to "we", "us", "our", "Company", and "AMCON" shall mean AMCON
Distributing Company and its subsidiaries.  The wholesale distribution
segment of our Company will be separately referred to as "ADC". Additionally,
the three month fiscal period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 have
been referred to throughout this quarterly report as Q2 2008 and Q2 2007,
respectively.  March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007, and September 30, 2007 have
been referred to as March 2008, March 2007, and September 2007, respectively.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
-------------------------------

Income Taxes
------------
On October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and Related Implementation Issues" ("FIN 48").
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
a Company's financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The results of implementing FIN 48 identified no unrecognized tax benefits
and did not impact the Company's financial statements. The Company's policy
is to record interest and penalties directly related to income taxes as
income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
There were no material changes to unrecognized tax benefits, interest, or
penalties for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 and the
Company does not anticipate any such material changes during the next twelve
months. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various states.
The tax years 2004 and forward remain open under U.S. and state statutes.

Last-In First-Out (LIFO) Inventory Valuation Method
---------------------------------------------------
As previously disclosed in the Company's Fiscal 2007 Annual Report on Form
10-K, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company changed its
inventory valuation method from the Last-In First-Out (LIFO) method to the
First-In First-Out (FIFO) method.  As required by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, this change in accounting principle was reflected in
the Company's financials statements through the retroactive application of
the FIFO method and the restatement of prior fiscal periods, including the
three and six month periods ended March 2007, which is included within this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of implementing the following
new accounting standards:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS No. 157").  SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value
should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing
an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the information used to develop those assumptions.  Under the standard, fair
value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair
value hierarchy.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 (fiscal 2009 for the Company).



                                  8





In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159").  SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value
accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets and
liabilities to be carried at fair value.  Under SFAS 159, a company may elect
to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-
sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts
payable, guarantees, issued debt and other eligible financial instruments.
SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
(fiscal 2009 for the Company).

In March 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10
"Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements"
(EITF 06-10).  EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for
the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement
of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral
assignment agreement.  EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2007 (fiscal 2009 for the Company).

2.  DISPOSITION

Trinity Springs, Inc. (TSI)
---------------------------
During fiscal 2006, the Company discontinued the operations of Trinity
Springs, Inc. ("TSI"), which operated a water bottling facility in Idaho,
due to recurring losses, a lack of capital resources to sustain operations,
and the litigation discussed in Note 10.

As described in Note 10, AMCON and TSI were parties to litigation with
Crystal Paradise Holdings, Inc. ("CPH") regarding an April 24, 2004 Asset
Purchase Agreement ("Asset Purchase Agreement"), under which TSI acquired
certain assets from CPH.  On September 30, 2007, the Company signed a Mutual
Release and Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with CPH
related to this litigation.  The Settlement Agreement resulted in the mutual
release and settlement of all outstanding and potential litigation and claims
among and between AMCON, TSI, and CPH with respect to the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the related acquisition.

The Settlement Agreement also restructured the Company's obligations arising
from the Asset Purchase Agreement with CPH totaling approximately $6.5
million into a new $5.0 million note payable to CPH.  The $5.0 million note
payable, plus accrued interest at 5.0%, is due in September 2012, if the
option discussed below is not exercised by CPH.  Items restructured into the
$5.0 million note payable included CPH's minority interest in TSI, water
royalties payable to CPH, notes payable to CPH, and accrued interest payable
to CPH.  Additionally, the Settlement Agreement provided CPH with an option
to purchase TSI's assets for a price equivalent to the amount due CPH under
the $5.0 million note payable, plus accrued interest.  The option expires in
August 2008 and can be extended for an additional seven months at CPH's
election.  If CPH elects to exercise its purchase option, then CPH will
cancel the $5.0 million note payable, including the obligation to pay any
accrued interest.  Further, if CPH elects to exercise the additional seven
month purchase option, CPH must also discharge all interest which accrued
during the initial option period.


                                  9



No monetary exchanges between the Company and CPH were required under the
Settlement Agreement.  The Company has recorded a $1.5 million pre-tax
deferred gain in connection with the above settlement.  This deferred gain
has been classified as a component of noncurrent liabilities of discontinued
operations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The
deferred gain will be recognized upon the earlier of CPH's election to
exercise its TSI asset purchase option or the expiration of the asset
purchase option.

Hawaiian Natural Water Company, Inc. (HNWC)
-------------------------------------------
Hawaiian Natural Water Company, Inc. ("HNWC"), which was headquartered in
Pearl City, Hawaii, bottled, marketed and distributed Hawaiian natural
artesian water, purified water and other limited production co-packaged
products, in Hawaii, the mainland and foreign markets.

In November 2006, the Company sold all of the operating assets of HNWC for
approximately $3.8 million in cash plus the buyer's assumption of all
operating and capital leases.  The significant operating assets consisted of
accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and fixtures, intellectual property
and all of its bottling equipment. In connection with the sale, the Company
recorded a $1.6 million pre-tax gain on disposal of discontinued operations.
HNWC remained a fully operational subsidiary of the Company through
November 19, 2006.

A summary of discontinued operations is as follows:

</TABLE>


                                  11








The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A"), Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series B"), and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series C"), collectively (the "Preferred Stock"), are convertible at any
time by the holders into a number of shares of AMCON common stock equal to
the number of preferred shares being converted times a fraction equal to
$25.00 divided by the conversion price.  The conversion prices for the
Preferred Stock are subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock
splits, stock dividends and certain other distributions on the Common Stock.
Cumulative dividends for the Preferred Stock are payable in arrears, when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors, on March 31, June 30, September 30
and December 31 of each year.

In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Preferred
Stock, are entitled to receive the liquidation preference plus any accrued
and unpaid dividends prior to the distribution of any amount to the holders
of the Common Stock.  The Preferred Stock also contain redemption features
which trigger based on certain circumstances such as a change of control,
bankruptcy, or minimum ownership thresholds in AMCON by Mr. William Wright
("Mr. Wright") and his family.  Mr. Wright is AMCON's founder, largest common
shareholder, and a Company director. The shares of Preferred Stock are
optionally redeemable by the Company beginning on various dates, as listed in
the above table, at redemption prices equal to 112% of the liquidation
preference.  The redemption prices decrease 1% annually thereafter until the
redemption price equals the liquidation preference, after which date it
remains the liquidation preference.  The Company's credit facility prohibits
the redemption of the Series A and Series B.  Series C is only redeemable so
long as no event of default is in existence at the time of, or would occur
after giving effect to, any such redemption, and the Company has excess
availability under the credit facility of not less than $2.0 million after
giving effect to any such redemption.

The Company believes that redemption of these securities by the holders is
not probable based on the following evaluation.  Our executive officers and
directors as a group beneficially own approximately 40% of the outstanding
common stock at March 2008.  Mr. Wright beneficially owns 24% of the
outstanding common stock without giving effect to shares owned by his adult
children.  There is a substantial identity of interest among AMCON and its
officers and directors for purposes of the determination of whether the
triggering redemption events described above are within the control of AMCON
since AMCON can only make decisions on control or other matters through those
persons.  Moreover, the Preferred Stock is in friendly hands with no
expectation that there would be any effort by the holders of such Preferred
Stock to seek optional redemption without the Board being supportive of the
events that may trigger that right.  The Series A is owned by Mr. Wright and
a private equity firm (Draupnir, LLC) of which Mr. Hobbs, a director of the
Company, is a member.  The Series B Preferred Stock is owned by an
institutional investor which has elected Mr. Chris Atayan, AMCON's Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors pursuant to voting
rights in the Certificate of Designation creating the Series B Preferred
Stock.  The Series C is owned by Draupnir Capital LLC, which is a subsidiary
of Draupnir, LLC (the owner of Series A). Mr. Hobbs is also a Member of
Draupnir Capital, LLC.

In view of the foregoing considerations, the Company believes it is
not probable under Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X that the Series A,
Series B or Series C Preferred Stock will become redeemable in the
foreseeable future.

4.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following at March 2008 and September 2007:

                                  March        September
                                  2008            2007

      Finished goods          $ 33,119,315    $ 29,738,727
                              ============    ============

The wholesale distribution and retail health food segment inventories consist
of finished products purchased in bulk quantities to be redistributed to
the Company's customers or sold at retail.  The wholesale distribution
inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or "FIFO"
method) or market and consist of the cost of finished goods.  The retail
health food operation utilizes the retail inventory method of accounting
stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market and consists of the costs of
finished goods.

Inventory also included total reserves of approximately $0.5 million at
March 2008 and September 2007.  These reserves include the Company's
obsolescence allowance, which reflects estimated unsaleable or non-refundable
inventory based upon an evaluation of slow moving and discontinued products.

5.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill by reporting segment of the Company consisted of the following:

                                 13





Goodwill, trademarks and tradenames are considered to have indefinite
useful lives and therefore no amortization has been taken on these assets.
The Company performs annual impairment testing of goodwill and other
intangible assets during the fourth fiscal quarter of each year.

Amortization expense for intangible assets that are considered to have finite
lives was approximately $9,900 for three months ended March 2008 and March
2007 and $19,800 for the six months ended March 2008 and March 2007.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets held at March 2008 for each
of the five years subsequent to September 30, 2007 is estimated as follows:

6.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share available to common shareholders is
calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations less
preferred stock dividend requirements and income (loss) from discontinued
operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding for each period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share available to common shareholders is
calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations less
preferred stock dividend requirements (when anti-dilutive) and income (loss)
from discontinued operations by the sum of the weighted average common shares
outstanding and the weighted average dilutive options, using the treasury
stock method.

Stock options and potential common stock outstanding at March 2008 and
March 2007 that were anti-dilutive were not included in the computations of
diluted earnings per share. Such potential common shares totaled 12,279 for
the three and six months ended March 2008, and 183,862 and 20,245 for the
three and six months ended March 2007, respectively.  The average exercise
price of anti-dilutive options and potential common stock was $44.09 for the
three and six months ended March 2008, and $28.74 and $38.74 for the three
and six months ended March 2007, respectively.

7.  DEBT

Credit Agreement
----------------
The Company has a credit agreement with Bank of America (formerly LaSalle
Bank)(the "Facility"), which includes the following significant terms:

   - A $55.0 million revolving credit limit, plus the outstanding balance
     on Term Note A, discussed below, for a total credit facility limit of
     $55.5 million at March 2008.  As a component of the credit agreement,
     the Company has a term note ("Term Note A") with Bank of America
     (formerly LaSalle Bank).  Term Note A bears interest at the bank's prime
     rate and is payable in monthly installments of $16,333.  Term Note A had
     an outstanding balance of approximately $0.5 million at March 2008.

   - Bears interest at the bank's prime interest rate.

   - Lending limits subject to accounts receivable and inventory limitations,
     an unused commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the difference
     between the maximum loan limit and average monthly borrowings.

   - Collateral including all of the Company's equipment, intangibles,
     inventories, and accounts receivable.

   - A prepayment penalty of one percent (1%) of the prepayment loan limit of
     $55.0 million if prepayment occurs on or before April 30, 2008.

   - Provides that the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock in
     excess of $0.72 per share on an annual basis.

The Facility also includes quarterly debt service and cumulative earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") financial
covenants.  A minimum debt service ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 must be maintained,
as measured by the twelve month period then ended.  The cumulative minimum
EBITDA requirements are as follows:

(a) $1,000,000 for the three months ending December 31, 2008
(b) $2,000,000 for the six months ending March 31, 2008, and
    March 31, 2009 and;
(c) $4,500,000 for the nine months ending June 30, 2008 and;
(d) $7,000,000 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2008

The Company was in compliance with the required debt service and minimum
EBITDA covenants at March 2008.

At March 2008, the available credit on the revolving portion of the Facility,
including accounts receivable and inventory limitations, was $42.0 million
and the outstanding balance was $33.1 million.  The Facility bears interest
at the bank's prime rate, which was 5.25% as of March 2008 and is
collateralized by all of the Company's equipment, intangibles, inventories,
and accounts receivable.


                                  17





As discussed further in Item 2 - "Liquidity and Capital Resources",
Mr. William Wright, the Company's founder, largest common shareholder, and
a Company director has personally guaranteed a note payable issued in
conjunction with the July 2007 Television Events and Marketing, Inc. ("TEAM")
litigation settlement.  AMCON pays Mr. Wright an annual fee equal to 2% of
the guaranteed principal in return for his personal guarantee.  The amount
guaranteed in connection with this settlement at March 2008 was approximately
$0.6 million.  This guarantee is secured by a pledge of the shares of
Chamberlin's, Akin's, HNWC, and TSI.

Mr. Wright also formerly guaranteed the repayment of the Facility and
Term Note A, up to a maximum of $10.0 million, in exchange for a 2% annual
fee of the guaranteed principal.  In March 2008, this personal guarantee was
cancelled as it was no longer required by the Facility's lender, Bank of
America. The Company paid Mr. Wright approximately $0.1 million related to
this personal guarantee for the fiscal year 2007.

Cross Default and Co-Terminus Provisions
-----------------------------------------
The Company's owned real estate in Bismarck, ND, Quincy, IL, and Rapid City,
SD, and certain warehouse equipment in the Rapid City, SD warehouse is
financed through term loans with Marshall and Ilsley Bank ("M&I"), which is
also a participant lender on the Company's revolving line of credit.  The
M&I loans contain cross default provisions which cause all loans with M&I to
be considered in default if any one of the loans where M&I is a lender,
including the revolving credit facility, is in default.  In addition, the M&I
loans contain co-terminus provisions which require all loans with M&I to be
paid in full if any of the loans are paid in full prior to the end of their
specified terms.

AMCON has issued a letter of credit for $0.9 million to its workers'
compensation insurance carrier as part of its self-insured loss control
program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
------------------------------
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

8.  STOCK PLANS

Stock Options
-------------
Prior to its expiration in June 2004, AMCON maintained a stock-based
compensation plan ("the Stock Option Plan") which provided the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors authorization to grant incentive stock
options and non-qualified stock options, pursuant to the Stock Option Plan,
of up to 550,000 shares.  No shares have been issued under the Stock Option
Plan since the end of fiscal 2003 and all associated compensation expense has
been fully amortized.


                                 18




In April 2007, the Company's shareholders approved the award of 25,000
non-qualified stock options to Christopher Atayan, Chief Executive Officer
("CEO"), Chairman, and a director of the Company.  The stock options vest
in equal installments over a three year period, have an exercise price of
$18.00 per share, and had a fair value of approximately $347,000 at the
date of shareholder approval, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
At March 2008, 8,333 of the stock options had vested.

The following assumptions were used in connection with the Black-Scholes
option pricing calculation:

Omnibus Plan
------------
The Company's 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("the Omnibus Plan") provides for

The Omnibus Plan permits the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of the
Company's common stock in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, performance share awards as well as awards such as
stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares, bonus
shares and dividend share awards payable in the form of common stock or cash.


                                 20

Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors has authorized and approved the restricted stock awards summarized

There is no direct cost to the recipients of the restricted stock awards,
except for any applicable taxes. The restricted stock held by recipients are
entitled to full voting rights and the customary adjustments in the event of
stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the
Company's common stock.  All cash dividends and/or distributions payable to
restricted stock recipients will be held in escrow until all the conditions
of vesting have been met.

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to restricted
stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Accordingly, net income before incomes taxes included compensation expense
of $98,000 and $112,000 for the three and six months ended March 2008.
Total unamortized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards
at March 2008 was approximately $1,080,000.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

AMCON has two reportable business segments: the wholesale distribution of
consumer products and the retail sale of health and natural food products.
The retail health food stores' operations are aggregated to comprise the
retail segment because such operations have similar economic characteristics,
as well as similar characteristics with respect to the nature of products
sold, the type and class of customers for the health food products and the
methods used to sell the products.  Included in the "Other" column is
interest expense previously allocated to HNWC, intercompany eliminations,
charges incurred by the holding company, and assets of discontinued
operations.  The segments are evaluated on revenues, gross margins,
operating income (loss), and income before taxes.

10.  CONTINGENCIES

Trinity Springs. Inc. / Crystal Paradise Holdings, Inc. Litigation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Company and its consolidated subsidiary, TSI, were involved in litigation
regarding an April 24, 2004 Asset Purchase Agreement ("Asset Purchase
Agreement"), under which TSI acquired certain assets from Trinity Springs,
Ltd. (which later changed its name to Crystal Paradise Holdings, Inc.
("CPH")).  In September 2007, the Company signed a Mutual Release and
Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with CPH related to this
litigation.  The Settlement Agreement resulted in the mutual release and
settlement of all outstanding and potential litigation and claims among and
between minority shareholder plaintiffs, CPH, AMCON, TSI, and Defendant
Directors with respect to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the related
acquisition.  The presiding Court approved the settlement and dismissed the
related lawsuit with prejudice.  The Company faces no further known liability
from that lawsuit or settlement.


                                  23




In exchange for (i) a full and complete release from CPH, (ii) cancellation
of the promissory notes issued in connection with the original acquisition,
(iii) termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement and water royalty contained
therein, and (iv) relinquishment of the TSI stock owned by CPH, (a) TSI
issued a promissory note in the amount of $5.0 million to CPH, with interest
accruing at 5% and secured by the assets currently held by TSI (the "New
Note"), (b) AMCON amended and restated the existing Guaranty and Suretyship
Agreement to substitute the New Note for the cancelled notes, and (c) TSI
granted CPH an eleven-month option to purchase the assets of TSI.  If CPH
elects to exercise its purchase option, then CPH will cancel the New Note,
including the obligation to pay any accrued interest.  The purchase option
may be extended for an additional seven months upon the discharge of all
accrued interest during the initial option period.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Management's Discussion and
Analysis and other sections, contains forward looking statements that are
subject to risks and uncertainties and which reflect management's current
beliefs and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions,
company performance and financial results.  Forward looking statements
include information concerning the possible or assumed future results of
operations of the Company and those statements preceded by, followed by or
that include the words "future," "position," "anticipate(s)," "expect,"
"believe(s)," "see," "plan," "further improve," "outlook," "should" or
similar expressions.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the
safe harbor for forward looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of future performance or results.  They involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions.  You should understand that the following
important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this document,
could affect the future results of the Company and could cause those results
to differ materially from those expressed in our forward looking statements:

   - increases in state and federal excise taxes on cigarette and tobacco
     products, including proposed legislation to renew and expand the
     State Children's Health Insurance Program ("SCHIP"), which would be
     largely funded through significant increases to federal excise taxes
     on cigarette and tobacco products
   - changing market conditions with regard to cigarettes,
   - changes in promotional and incentive programs offered by manufacturers,
   - credit risk associated with the Company's wholesale segment customers,
   - future availability of capital,
   - the demand for the Company's products,
   - new business ventures,
   - domestic regulatory and legislative risks,
   - competition,
   - poor weather conditions,
   - increases in fuel prices,
   - collection of guaranteed amounts,
   - other risks over which the Company has little or no control, and
   - any other factors not identified herein could also have such an effect.


                                  24


Changes in these factors could result in significantly different results.
Consequently, future results may differ from management's expectations.
Moreover, past financial performance should not be considered a reliable
indicator of future performance.  Any forward looking statement contained
herein is made as of the date of this document.  Except as required by law,
the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or correct any of
these forward looking statements in the future to reflect changed
assumptions, the occurrence of material events or changes in future operating
results, financial conditions or business over time.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's
financial statements require us to make judgments and estimates and the
financial results we report may vary depending on how we make these
judgments and estimates.  Our critical accounting estimates are set forth in
our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  There have been no significant changes
with respect to these policies during the six months ended March 2008.

COMPANY OVERVIEW - SECOND FISCAL QUARTER 2008 (Q2 2008)

The following discussion and analysis includes the Company's results of
operations from continuing operations for the three and six months ended
March 2008 and March 2007. Continuing operations are comprised of our
wholesale distribution and retail health food segments.  A separate
discussion of our discontinued operations has been presented following our
analysis of continuing operations.  Accordingly, the sales, gross profit
(loss), selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization,
direct interest, other expenses and income tax benefit from our discontinued
operations have been aggregated and reported as income (loss) from
discontinued operations and are not a component of the aforementioned
continuing operations discussion.

During Q2 2008, the Company:

-  experienced a $1.5 million increase in income from continuing operations
   before income taxes as compared to Q2 2007.

-  recognized income from continuing operations per basic share of
   $2.16 and $0.43 for the three months ended March 2008 and March
   2007, respectively, and $3.92 and $1.39 for the six months ended
   March 2008 and March 2007, respectively.

-  recognized (loss) income from discontinued operations per basic share
   of ($0.18) and ($0.36) for the three months ended March 2008 and
   March 2007, respectively, and ($0.36) and $0.85 for the six months
   ended March 2008 and March 2007, respectively.


                                  25









Wholesale Distribution Segment (ADC)
------------------------------------
Our wholesale distribution segment represents approximately 95% of the
Company's consolidated sales.  ADC serves approximately 4,000 retail outlets
in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions and is ranked as a top ten
convenience store supplier according to Convenience Store News.  While we
provide our retailers with a broad selection of merchandise in all product
categories, we remain largely dependent on cigarette sales, which account for
approximately 74% of ADC total sales.  ADC is also focused on growing its
sales of non-tobacco products, which offer higher profit margins and greater
revenue stream diversity.

The wholesale distribution industry (the "Industry") is mature and highly
competitive.  To differentiate itself, ADC leverages a number of strategies
focused around providing market leading customer service programs and
offering flexible delivery capabilities.  These strategies have helped
position ADC as a distributor of choice for both small independent retail
outlets and multi-location retail outlets.

ADC has significant alliances with the major cigarette manufacturers which we
believe control over 90% of the cigarette industry volume.  While some of our
competitors have focused on the lower priced cigarette brands, ADC has made a
conscious decision to support and grow our national brand segment and align
our business with the major players in the industry. We believe that it is
important not to compete against the major cigarette manufacturers because of
their commitment to growing and maintaining their market share in a declining
category.  Additionally, we believe that consumers' preference for premium
brands currently drives the category volume.

The Industry continues to experience significant changes driven by high fuel
costs, higher excise taxes, the popularity of deep-discount cigarette brands,
and consolidation within the Industry's customer base (particularly
convenience stores and tobacco shops). Collectively, we expect these items
will continue to pressure profit margins industry-wide and potentially
diminish the Company's profits.

To capitalize on the industry-wide changes mentioned above, ADC
aggressively manages its cost structure, heavily leverages inventory
management strategies, and deploys new technologies and automation tools
where possible.  These actions have allowed ADC to maintain competitive
pricing and position itself to capture new business, sell new services to
our existing customers, explore acquisition opportunities, and further
penetrate the convenience store market.

Retail Health Food Segment
--------------------------
AMCON's retail health food stores, which are operated as Chamberlin's Market
& Cafe ("Chamberlin's" or "CNF") and Akin's Natural Foods Market ("Akin's" or
"ANF"), offer thousands of different product selections to their customers.
Chamberlin's, which was first established in 1935, is an award-winning and
highly-acclaimed chain of six health and natural product retail stores, all
offering an extensive selection of natural supplements and herbs, baked
goods, dairy products, and organic produce.  Chamberlin's operates all of its
stores in and around Orlando, Florida.


                                  26


Akin's, established in 1935, is also an award winning chain of seven health
and natural product retail stores, each offering an extensive line of natural
supplements and herbs, dairy products, and organic produce.  Akin's has
locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Lincoln, Nebraska;
Springfield, Missouri; and Topeka, Kansas.

The retail health food industry has experienced strong growth in recent years
driven primarily by the demand for natural products and more health conscious
consumers.  Our retail health food segment has benefited from this trend,
experiencing sales growth in many key product categories.  Our management
team continues to evaluate locations for new stores.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continuing Operations

SALES:
------
Changes in sales are driven by two primary components:

      (i)  changes to selling prices, which are largely controlled by
           our product suppliers, and excise taxes imposed on
           cigarettes and tobacco products by various states; and

      (ii) changes in the volume of products sold to our customers, either
           due to a change in purchasing patterns resulting from consumer
           preferences or the fluctuation in the comparable number of
           business days in our reporting period.

Sales by business segment for the three and six month periods ended
March 2008 and March 2007 are as follows (dollars in millions):

SALES - Q2 2008 vs. Q2 2007 (continuing operations)
---------------------------------------------------
Sales for Q2 2008 decreased $10.8 million, or 5.4%, as compared to Q2 2007.
Sales are reported net of costs associated with sales incentives provided to
retailers, totaling $3.8 million and $4.0 million, for Q2 2008 and Q2 2007,
respectively.

Sales in our wholesale distribution segment ("wholesale") decreased
$11.5 million, or 6.0%, in Q2 2008 as compared to Q2 2007.  This change
included a $11.2 million decrease in sales, primarily due to lower cigarette
sales, and a $0.3 million net decrease in our other product categories sales
(tobacco, beverages, candy, grocery, health & beauty products, and food
service).

                                27



Significant items impacting our Q2 2008 wholesale segment sales included:

- $3.3 million increase in cigarette sales due to higher excise taxes.

- $1.8 million increase in cigarette sales due to prices increases
   implemented by major manufacturers.

- $16.3 million decrease in sales, primarily the result of a
   11.1% decrease in cigarette shipment volumes.

- $0.3 million net decrease in our other product category sales, primarily
   the result of lower sales volumes.

Rising fuel prices and weakening economic conditions have generally impacted
discretionary spending, which has had the impact of reducing sales.  In
addition, recent legislative actions, including smoking bans and higher
cigarette excise taxes, and a general decline in the number of cigarette
consumers, has negatively impacted our sales of cigarettes.

Sales from our retail health food segment increased approximately $0.7
million, or 7.1%, in Q2 2008 as compared to Q2 2007.  Sales growth has been
achieved in most product categories.  We believe this growth is largely
attributable to the continuing popularity of vitamin supplements and natural
food products among more health conscious consumers.  We continue to
capitalize on this trend with more targeted promotional insert programs
and recent online efforts.

SALES - Six Months Ended March 2008 (continuing operations)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sales for the six month period ended March 2008 decreased $9.4 million, or
2.3%, as compared to the same prior year period. Sales for the six months
ended March 2008 and 2007, were net of costs associated with sales incentives
provided to retailers, totaling $7.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

Sales from our wholesale segment decreased $10.5 million for the six months
ended March 2008 as compared to the same prior year period.  This change
included a $12.3 million decrease in sales primarily related to lower
cigarette sales, partially offset by a $1.8 million net increase in our
other product categories sales (tobacco, beverages, candy, grocery,
health & beauty products, and food service).

Significant items impacting wholesale segment sales for the six months
ended March 2008 included:

- $9.6 million increase in cigarette sales due to higher excise taxes.

- $6.5 million increase in cigarette sales due to prices increases
   implemented by major manufacturers.

- $28.4 million decrease in sales, primarily the result of a
   9.9% decrease in cigarette shipment volumes.

- $1.8 million net increase in our other product category sales, primarily
   the result of higher tobacco and food service sales, partially offset by
   lower sales in our beverage category.


                                  28

Rising fuel prices and weakening economic conditions have generally impacted
discretionary spending, which has had the impact of reducing sales.  In
addition, recent legislative actions, including smoking bans and higher
cigarette excise taxes, and a general decline in the number of cigarette
consumers, has negatively impacted our sales of cigarettes.

Sales from our retail health food segment increased approximately $1.1
million, or 5.8%, for the six month period ended March 2008, as compared to
the same prior year period.  Sales growth has been achieved in most product
categories.  We believe this growth is largely attributable to the continuing
popularity of vitamin supplements and natural food products among more health
conscious consumers.  We continue to capitalize on this trend with more
targeted promotional insert programs and recent online efforts.

GROSS PROFIT - Q2 2008 vs. Q2 2007 (continuing operations)
----------------------------------------------------------
Our gross profit does not include fulfillment costs and costs related
to the distribution network which are included in selling, general and
administrative costs, and may not be comparable to those of other entities.
Some entities may classify such costs as a component of cost of sales.

Cost of sales, a component used in determining gross profit, for the
wholesale and retail segments includes the cost of products purchased from
manufacturers, less incentives we receive which are netted against such
costs.

Gross profit by business segment for the three and six month periods ended
March 2008 and March 2007 are as follows (dollars in millions):

----------------------------------------------------------
Overall gross profit for Q2 2008 increased $0.5 million, or 3.3%, as compared
to Q2 2007.

Gross profit in our wholesale segment increased $0.1 million, or 1.0%, as
compared to the same prior year period.  During Q2 2008, our wholesale gross
profit benefited by approximately $0.9 million as a result of price increases
and higher manufacturer promotional allowances.  These items were partially
offset by a $0.6 million reduction in benefits received from cigarette excise
tax increases, as compared to Q2 2007.  The remaining change in gross profit
is primarily attributable to lower cigarette shipment volumes, offset by
fluctuations in our product mix sold.


                                  29


Gross profit for the retail health segment increased $0.4 million in Q2 2008
as compared to Q2 2007.  Of this increase, approximately $0.3 million related
to higher sales volume and improved sales mix, with the remaining change
primarily attributable to higher vendor allowances.

GROSS PROFIT - Six months ended March 2008 (continuing operations)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall gross profit for the six months ended March 2008 increased
$0.6 million, or 2.0%, as compared to the same prior year period.

Gross profit in our wholesale segment decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%,
for the six month period ended March 2008, as compared to the same period in
the prior year.  During Q2 2008, our wholesale gross profit benefited by
approximately $0.7 million as a result of price increases and lower product
promotional spending, as compared to the same prior year period.  These items
were partially offset by a $0.6 million reduction in benefits received from
cigarette excise tax increases, as compared to the same prior year period.
The remaining change in gross profit is primarily attributable to lower
cigarette shipment volumes, partially offset by fluctuations in our product
mix sold.

Gross profit for the retail health segment increased $0.8 million for
the six month period ended March 2008.  Of this increase, approximately
$0.5 million related to higher sales volume and improved sales mix, with
the remaining change primarily attributable to higher vendor allowances.

OPERATING EXPENSE - three and six months ended March 2008 comparison
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating expense includes selling, general and administrative expenses and
depreciation and amortization.  Selling, general and administrative include
costs related to our sales, warehouse, delivery and administrative
departments for all segments.  Specifically, purchasing and receiving costs,
warehousing costs and costs of picking and loading customer orders are all
classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.  Our most
significant expenses relate to employee costs, facility and equipment leases,
transportation costs, fuel costs, insurance and professional fees.

Q2 2008 operating expenses decreased approximately $0.5 million as compared
to Q2 2007.  This decrease was primarily related to $0.6 million reduction
in professional and legal costs, a $0.2 million reduction in compensation
expense, and a $0.1 million reduction in depreciation charges.  These
decreases were partially offset by higher fuel cost and bad debt expenses.

Operating expenses for the six month period ended March 2008 decreased
approximately $0.8 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.
This decrease was primarily related to $0.7 million reduction in professional
and legal costs, a $0.4 million reduction in compensation expense, and a
$0.2 million reduction in depreciation charges.  These decreases were
partially offset by higher fuel costs and bad debt expenses.


                                  30








INTEREST EXPENSE - three and six months ended March 2008 comparison
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q2 2008 interest expense decreased approximately $0.5 million as compared
to Q2 2007, and interest expense for the six months ended March 2008
decreased approximately $0.8 million as comparable to the prior year
period.  These decreases in interest expense were principally related
to lower prime interest rates and lower average borrowings.

The Company primarily borrows at the prime interest rate. On average, the
Company's borrowing rates on variable rate debt were 2.03% lower and the
average borrowings on variable rate debt were $13.9 million lower in Q2 2008
as compared to Q2 2007.  For the six months ended March 2008, variable
interest rates were on average 1.41% lower and average borrowings on variable
rate debt were $11.4 million lower as compared to the same prior year period.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - three and six months ended March 2008 comparison
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Loss) income from discontinued operations totaled ($0.1) million and
($0.2) million for the three and six months ended March 2008 as compared to
a loss of ($0.2) million and a gain of $0.4 million for the three and six
month periods ended March 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
----------
Operating Activities.  The Company requires cash to pay operating expenses,
purchase inventory, and make capital investments.  In general, the Company
finances its cash flow requirements with cash generated from operating
activities and credit facility borrowings.  During the six months ended
March 2008, the Company generated cash of approximately $6.0 million from
operating activities.  The cash generated primarily resulted from higher
overall earnings, and a reduction in accounts receivable and deferred income
tax balances.  These items were partially offset by higher inventory
purchases and a reduction in accounts payable.

Our variability in cash flows from operating activities is dependent on
the timing of inventory purchases and seasonal fluctuations.  For example,
periodically we have inventory "buy-in" opportunities which offer more
favorable pricing terms.  As a result, we may have to hold inventory for a
period longer than the payment terms.  This generates a cash outflow from
operating activities which we expect to reverse in later periods.
Additionally, during the warm weather months, which is our peak time of
operations, we generally carry higher amounts of inventory to ensure high
fill rates and maintain customer satisfaction.

Investing Activities.  The Company used approximately $0.5 million of cash
during the six month period ended March 2008 for investing activities,
primarily related to capital expenditures for property and equipment.

Financing Activities.  The Company used net cash of $5.7 million from
financing activities during the six month period ended March 2008.
Of this net change in cash, $5.3 million related to payments on the
Company's credit facility, $0.2 million related to preferred stock
dividend payments, $0.1 million related to cash received on the
exercise of stock options, and $0.3 million related to principal
payments on long-term debt.

Cash on Hand/Working Capital.  At March 2008, the Company had cash on hand
of $0.5 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities)
of $32.5 million.  This compares to cash on hand of $0.7 million and working
capital of $34.9 million as of September 2007.

TSI Financing
-------------
As previously disclosed, TSI has approximately $2.8 million in related party
debt obligations, which are in default at March 2008. TSI has not obtained
associated debt default waivers for these related party obligations.
At this time, the Company does not anticipate the defaults will materially
impact the Company's future liquidity position.

In September 2007 AMCON and TSI settled all litigation with Crystal Paradise
Holdings, Inc. ("CPH") regarding an April 24, 2004 Asset Purchase Agreement
under which TSI acquired certain assets from CPH.  No monetary exchanges
between the Company and CPH were required under the settlement agreement.
The Company has recorded a $1.5 million pre-tax deferred gain in connection
with the above settlement.  This deferred gain has been classified as a
component of noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations in the

                                  32


Company's March 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred gain
will be recognized upon the earlier of CPH's election to exercise its TSI
asset purchase option or the expiration of the asset purchase option. With
this final settlement, the Company does not expect its future cash flows to
be significantly impacted by future litigation related to the April 24, 2004
Asset Purchase Agreement.

Contractual Obligations
-----------------------
There have been no significant changes to the Company's contractual
obligations as set forth in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal period
ended September 30, 2007.

CREDIT AGREEMENT
----------------
The Company's primary source of borrowing for liquidity purposes is its
revolving credit facility with Bank of America (formerly LaSalle Bank)(the
"Facility"). The significant terms of the Facility at March 2008 include:

   - A $55.0 million revolving credit limit, plus the outstanding balance
     on Term Note A, discussed below, for a total credit facility limit of
     $55.5 million at March 2008.  As a component of the credit agreement,
     the Company has a term note ("Term Note A") with Bank of America
     (formerly LaSalle Bank).  Term Note A bears interest at the bank's prime
     rate and is payable in monthly installments of $16,333.  Term Note A had
     an outstanding balance of approximately $0.5 million at March 2008.

   - Bears interest at the bank's prime interest rate.

   - Lending limits subject to accounts receivable and inventory limitations,
     an unused commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the difference
     between the maximum loan limit and average monthly borrowings.

   - Collateral including all of the Company's equipment, intangibles,
     inventories, and accounts receivable.

   - A prepayment penalty of one percent (1%) of the prepayment loan limit of
     $55.0 million if prepayment occurs on or before April 30, 2008.

   - Provides that the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock in
     excess of $0.72 per share on an annual basis.

The Facility also includes quarterly debt service and cumulative earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") financial
covenants.  A minimum debt service ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 must be maintained,
as measured by the twelve month period then ended.  The cumulative minimum
EBITDA requirements are as follows:

(a) $1,000,000 for the three months ending December 31, 2008
(b) $2,000,000 for the six months ending March 31, 2008, and
    March 31, 2009 and;
(c) $4,500,000 for the nine months ending June 30, 2008 and;
(d) $7,000,000 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2008

The Company was in compliance with the required debt service and minimum
EBITDA covenants at March 2008.

                                  33


The Company's maximum available credit limit for the revolving portion of the
Facility was $42.0 million at March 2008, however, the amount available for
use at any given time is subject to many factors including eligible accounts
receivable and inventory balances which are evaluated on a daily basis.
At March 2008, the outstanding balance on the revolving portion of the
Facility was $33.1 million.  The Facility bears interest at a variable rate
equal to the bank's prime rate, which was 5.25% at March 2008. Based on our
collateral and loan limits as defined by the Facility agreement, the
Company's excess availability under the Facility at March 2008 was
approximately $8.9 million.

For the six months ended March 2008, our peak borrowings under the Facility
were $42.4 million and our average borrowings and average availability were
$36.3 and $9.7 million, respectively.  Our availability to borrow under the
Facility generally decreases as inventory and accounts receivable levels go
up because of the borrowing limitations that are placed on collateralized
assets.

As part of the July 2007 Television Events & Marketing, Inc. ("TEAM")
litigation settlement, the Company became obligated to pay $187,500 in four
equal quarterly installments of $46,875 for the period January 2008 through
October 2010, and $125,000 in four equal quarterly installments of $31,250
for the period January 2011 through October 2011.  Mr. Wright has personally
guaranteed these payment obligations, which totaled approximately $0.6
million at March 2008.  AMCON pays Mr. Wright an annual fee equal to 2% of
the guaranteed principal in return for his personal guarantee.  This
guarantee is secured by a pledge of the shares of Chamberlin's, Akin's,
HNWC, and TSI.

Mr. Wright also formerly guaranteed the repayment of the Facility and
Term Note A, up to a maximum of $10.0 million, in exchange for a 2% annual
fee of the guaranteed principal.  In March 2008, this personal guarantee was
cancelled as it was no longer required by the Facility's lender, Bank of
America.  The Company paid Mr. Wright approximately $0.1 million related to
this personal guarantee for the fiscal year 2007.

Cross Default and Co-Terminus Provisions
-----------------------------------------
The Company's owned real estate in Bismarck, ND, Quincy, IL, and Rapid City,
SD, and certain warehouse equipment in the Rapid City, SD warehouse is
financed through term loans with Marshall and Ilsley Bank ("M&I"), which is
also a participant lender on the Company's revolving line of credit.  The
M&I loans contain cross default provisions which cause all loans with M&I to
be considered in default if any one of the loans where M&I is a lender,
including the revolving credit facility, is in default. In addition, the M&I
loans contain co-terminus provisions which require all loans with M&I to be
paid in full if any of the loans are paid in full prior to the end of their
specified terms.

program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
------------------------------
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Market Conditions and Future Outlook
------------------------------------
Wholesale Segment - The wholesale distribution industry continues to
experience a decline in the demand for cigarettes, resulting in part from
legislative actions such as higher excise taxes and smoking bans, as well
as a general decline in the number of smokers in the United States.
Most recently, legislation has been proposed to significantly increase the
federal excise taxes imposed on cigarette and tobacco products to fund the
State Children's Health Insurance Program ("SCHIP"). If such legislation
passed, it could further accelerate the declining demand for cigarettes and
tobacco products.  For the six months ended March 2008, sales of cigarette
and tobacco products accounted for approximately 70% of the Company's
consolidated sales and approximately 20% of its consolidated
gross profit.

A weakening economy, higher food commodity and fuel costs, and the impact
of higher credit card fees have negatively impacted the profit margins and
purchasing patterns for our largest customer segment, convenience stores.
These factors may decrease future sales and expose the Company to higher bad
debt expense.  While the Company believes its current accounts receivable
reserve levels are adequate, management can give no assurances that a further
deterioration in economic conditions will not result in higher bad debt
costs.

In the short term, the Company believes the aforementioned market conditions
will pressure wholesale profits, partially offset by lower operating
expenses.  The Company does not, however, believe such items will materially
impact its liquidity position.

While these market conditions present risks, in the longer term the Company
believes they create opportunities to enhance shareholder value, as smaller
distributors are forced from the market, presenting opportunities to win
market share and make strategic acquisitions at more attractive prices.
The Company is also focused on diversifying its revenue streams through the
growth of higher margin non-cigarette and non-tobacco product categories.

Retail Health Food Segment - Our retail segment continues to experience
healthy sales growth.  While we've enjoyed a loyal customer following in this
business segment, weakening economic conditions, higher natural food costs,
and increased competition from national retailers and mass merchandisers,
may negatively impact future sales growth.


                                  35












Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate debt.
At March 2008, the Company had $33.5 million of variable rate debt
outstanding with maturities through April 2009. The interest rate on this
debt was 5.25% at March 2008.  We estimate that our annual cash flow exposure
relating to interest rate risk based on our current borrowings is
approximately $0.2 million for each 1% change in our lender's prime interest
rate.

We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and hold no
derivative financial instruments which could expose us to significant market
risk.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")), that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or furnished under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the applicable Exchange Act rules and forms of the SEC.
Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management,
including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer
("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.  Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives.

The Company carried out the evaluation required by paragraph (b) of the
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that
evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under
the Exchange Act is (1) accumulated and communicated to management, including
the Company's CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
