Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 and
July 5, 1998.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, certain information, including footnote information, normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Results of operations
for the period ended July 4, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 1999.

   Reclassification

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
presentation.

Investments

     Investments are accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires
that the Company determine the appropriate classification of investments at the
time of purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date.
At July 4, 1999 and January 3, 1999, the Company considered all investments as
available for use in its current operations, and therefore classified them
short-term, available-for-sale investments.  Available-for-sale investments are
stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.  Realized gains or losses from the
sale of investments, write-downs associated with investments deemed to be
permanently impaired, interest income, and dividends are included in investment
income or loss in the accompanying statements of operations. The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

     At July 4, 1999, short-term investments consisted of the following (in
thousands):

     The Company's primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and
equity price risk. At July 4, 1999, the Company held a portfolio of marketable
securities with an estimated fair value equal to $23,424,000.  Of that amount,
the estimated fair value of the Company's total debt investments available for
sale was $13,694,000, including $3,252,000 in convertible debt securities, and
the estimated fair value of the Company's total equity securities available for
sale was $9,730,000, including $5,954,000 in convertible preferred securities.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the
opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations.  The Company's exposure to equity
price risk relates primarily to the risk that the market price of a security may
fluctuate or drop over time.

     Proceeds from sales or maturities of marketable securities for the three-
and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 were $8,421,000 and $23,692,000,
respectively.  Gross realized gains on such sales or maturities for the three-
and six-month periods were $21,000 and $215,000, respectively.  Gross realized
losses for the three- and six-month periods were $737,000 and $2,917,000,
respectively.  Corporate securities have maturity dates from January 2001 to
February 2009. Corporate debt securities have maturity dates from February 2001
to May 2008. Mortgage backed securities have maturity dates from April 2017 to
December 2021. The Company's investment guidelines include investing up to
approximately $15 million of its portfolio with a professional asset management
firm whose investment approach consists of investing in hedged transactions.
Each position in the portfolio is created by purchasing a convertible debt or
equity security and selling short the underlying common stock against it.  The
remainder of the Company's investment portfolio is invested by Kayne Anderson
Investment Management,  primarily in fixed rate corporate bonds and mortgage
backed securities. The gross unrealized gains and losses reflected in the above
table are primarily the result of these investment approaches.

     As of April 4, 1999, one of the Company's corporate debt security
investments had declined in value by approximately $2.2 million. The issuer of
this security was experiencing financial difficulty and was in bankruptcy
proceedings. Additionally, the debt instrument was currently in default. As a
result of the Company's most recent review of this security, the Company
believed that it was permanently impaired and as a result, has taken a $1.6
million write-down on this investment. This amount was included in the
investment losses for the quarter ended April 4, 1999.  Additionally, the issuer
of this security has defaulted on its interest obligation and therefore, the
Company has discontinued recording interest income relating to this investment.

     As of July 4, 1999, one of the Company's corporate security investments had
declined in value by approximately $0.5 million. The issuer of this security was
experiencing financial difficulty and has defaulted on its debt payments. As a
result of the Company's most recent review of this security, the Company
believed that it was permanently impaired and as a result, has taken a $0.5
million write-down on this investment. This amount was included in the
investment losses for the quarter ended July 4, 1999. Additionally, the issuer
of this security has defaulted on its interest obligation and therefore, the
Company has discontinued recording interest income relating to this investment.

  At January 3, 1999, investments available for sale consisted of the following

3.  New Credit Facility

     On January 27, 1999, the Company entered into a new $8.0 million unsecured
credit facility with Tokai Bank of California with a maturity date of May 1,
2000.  The credit facility requires quarterly interest payments at the Bank's
prime rate (7.75% per annum at January 27, 1999) or LIBOR plus 1.60% (6.63% per
annum at January 27, 1999). As of July 4, 1999, the Company had approximately
$3.4 million of funds available under the agreement.

4.  Subsequent Events

On August 13, 1999, the Company announced that the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the Company to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Trust Preferred
Securities (AMEX: HOO pa) issued by Glacier Water Trust I, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, in the open market as part of the Company's stock
repurchase plan.  The Company has the authority to purchase up to 250,000
shares, or approximately 7.4% of Glacier's 3,400,000 Trust Preferred shares
outstanding.

The Company's Board of Directors had previously authorized the repurchase of up
to 750,000 shares of Glacier Water Services common stock, of which 585,126
shares have been repurchased by the Company.  With the current authorization,
the Company has the authority to repurchase up to an additional 164,874 shares
of Glacier Water Services common stock outstanding, or approximately 5.8% of
Glacier's 2,847,074 common shares outstanding and 250,000 shares of Glacier
Water Trust Preferred Securities, or approximately 7.4% of Glacier's 3,400,000
shares outstanding.  Such purchases may occur from time to time in open market
transactions or block trades.

          ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations
---------------------

Overview
--------

     During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company made a decision to remove
approximately 1,450 machines at under-performing locations. These machines were
primarily located at small independent retailers and the Company intends to
relocate these machines to large supermarket and drug store chains where the
Company expects that better performance will be achieved. As of July 4, 1999,
substantially all of these machines have been removed from operations and the
Company believes that they will be re-deployed over the balance of the year. As
a result of the removal of these machines, the Company ended the quarter with
13,205 machines in operation as of July 4, 1999, 11,764 outside machines and
1,441 in-store machines. At July 5, 1998, the Company had a total of 13,160
machines in operation, 12,359 outside machines and 801 in-store machines.

Revenues
--------

     For the quarter ended July 4, 1999, revenues decreased $201,000 or 1.4% to
$14,232,000 from $14,433,000 for the second quarter a year ago. For the six-
month period ended July 4, 1999, revenues decreased $392,000 or 1.4% to
$26,855,000 from $27,247,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease
in revenues for the quarter and the six-month period ended July 4, 1999 was due
to the reduction in the average number of machines in operation during the six-
month period, and the continuing negative impact on revenues from adverse media
attention last fall surrounding a study conducted by Los Angeles County which
questioned the quality of drinking water dispensed from water vending machines.

Costs and Expenses
------------------

     Operating expenses for the quarter ended July 4, 1999 increased $22,000 to
$9,306,000, or 65.4% of revenues, compared to $9,284,000, or 64.3% of revenues
in the same period last year. Operating expenses for the six-month period ended
July 4, 1999 decreased to $17,541,000, or 65.3% of revenues, compared to
$17,695,000, or 64.9% of revenues in the same period last year. The decrease in
total operating expenses for the quarter and the six-month period ended July 4,
1999 was the result of lower commissions which were offset by higher servicing
costs, resulting from the Company's expansion into new market areas where
significant operating efficiencies have not yet been achieved.  The increase in
servicing costs, combined with the decrease in revenues, resulted in the
increase in operating costs as a percentage of revenues.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter ended
July 4, 1999 decreased $55,000 to $2,567,000, or 18.0% of revenues, compared to
$2,622,000, or 18.2% of revenues in the same period last year. The decrease in
total SG&A expenses for the quarter ended July 4, 1999 and SG&A expenses as a
percentage of revenues in the quarter was due primarily to a decrease in
advertising expenditures offset by increased legal expenses incurred in
connection the alleged patent infringement and antitrust claims made against the
Company by a competitor. As of July 4, 1999, the Company has completed an
agreement to dismiss, without payment of any kind, all of these alleged claims.
In the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company began its first media
advertising campaign in the test markets of San Diego and Phoenix, at a cost of
approximately $500,000. SG&A expenses for the six-month period increased
$193,000 to $4,756,000, or 17.7% of revenues, compared to $4,563,000, or 16.8%
of revenues in the same period last year.  This increase in SG&A expenses for
the six-month period was due primarily to a decrease in advertising expenditures
offset by increased legal expenses this year compared to the same period last
year.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,582,000 for the quarter ended
July 4, 1999, compared to $2,569,000 in the same period last year.  Depreciation
and amortization expense was $5,182,000 for the six-month period ended July 4,
1999, compared to $5,006,000 for the same period last year.

     Interest expense increased to $2,011,000, for the quarter ended July 4,
1999, compared to $1,926,000 in the same period last year. Interest expense for
the six-month period ended July 4, 1999 increased to $3,991,000, compared to
$3,561,000 in the same period last year. The increase was associated with the
issuance of the $85 million of Trust Preferred Securities in the first quarter
of 1998. The Company had $247,000 of investment losses in the quarter ended July
4, 1999, as a result of a write-down of $0.5 million on a security deemed to be
permanently impaired, compared to investment income of $1,422,000 in the same
period last year. The Company had $1,750,000 of investment losses in the six-
month period ended July 4, 1999, compared to investment income of $2,294,000 in
the same period last year. This increase in expense was a result of a write-down
of $0.5 million in the second quarter and a write-down $1.7 million in the first
quarter for investments of The Company deemed to be permanently impaired.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net loss was $1,713,000, or
$.61 per share for the quarter and $4,306,000, or $1.50 per share for the six-
month period ended July 4, 1999, compared with net loss of $391,000, or $.12 per
share for the quarter and $877,000, or $.27 per share for the six-month period
ended July 4, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     On January 27, 1998, the Company, through a newly created business trust
and wholly-owned subsidiary, completed a public offering of 3.4 million of
9.0625% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities with a liquidation amount of $25
per security (the "Trust Preferred Securities"). The proceeds from the sale of
the Trust Preferred Securities were used to purchase an equivalent amount of 9
1/16% Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company (the "Debentures").  With
the net proceeds of $81.6 million from the sale of the Debentures, the Company
repaid its outstanding bank debt of approximately $28.7 million, terminated its
bank credit agreement and invested the remainder in cash equivalents and short-
term marketable securities.  These investments, as well as cash flows from
operations, are the Company's primary sources of liquidity.  In addition, the
Company has the capacity to borrow up to $5 million from a national brokerage
firm against its investments in marketable securities, at an interest rate of
6.5% per annum.

     On January 27, 1999, the Company entered into a new $8.0 million unsecured
credit facility with Tokai Bank of California with a maturity date of May 1,
2000.  The credit facility requires quarterly interest payments at the Bank's
prime rate (7.75% per annum at January 27, 1999) or LIBOR plus 1.60% (6.63% per
annum at January 27, 1999). As of July 4, 1999, the Company had approximately
$3.4 million of funds available under the agreement.

     At July 4, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $24.5 million, and working capital of $20.5 million.  For the six-
month period ended July 4, 1999, net cash used by operations totaled $2.1
million.  Net cash provided by financing and investing activities was $3.1
million for the six-month period ended July 4, 1999.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and
equity price risk. At July 4, 1999, the Company held a portfolio of marketable
securities with an estimated fair value equal to $23,424,000.  Of that amount,
the estimated fair value of the Company's total debt investments available for
sale was $13,694,000, including $3,252,000 in convertible debt securities, and
the estimated fair value of the Company's total equity securities available for
sale was $9,730,000, including $5,954,000 in convertible preferred securities.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the
opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations.  The Company's exposure to equity
price risk relates primarily to the risk that the market price of a security may
fluctuate or drop over time.

     The Company's investment guidelines include investing up to approximately
$15 million of its portfolio with a professional asset management firm whose
investment approach consists of investing in hedged transactions. Each hedged
position in the Company's portfolio is created by purchasing a convertible debt
or equity security and selling short the underlying common stock against it.
The purpose of entering into these hedged transactions is to minimize the impact
of interest rate fluctuations and equity price risk on the Company's invested
portfolio. The remainder of the Company's investment portfolio is invested by
Kayne Anderson Investment Management, primarily in fixed rate corporate bonds
and mortgage backed securities.

  The table below presents principal cash flows and related weighted average
interest rates by expected maturity dates for the Company's convertible
investments:

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                        Legal Proceedings

          On June 28, 1999, the Company and Pure Fill Corporation entered in to
       a written settlement agreement whereby the parties executed mutual
       general and specific releases of all known and unknown claims, and agreed
       to dismiss all lawsuits pending between them. Pursuant to the terms of
       the settlement, (a) on or about July 20, 1999, the Stanislaus County
       Superior Court dismissed with prejudice the action entitled Pure Fill
       Corporation v. Glacier Water Services, Inc., Stanislaus County Superior
       Court, Case No. 182981; and (b) on or about July 29, 1999, the United
       States District Court for the Southern District of California dismissed
       with prejudice the actions entitled Glacier Water Services, Inc. v. Pure
       Fill Corporation, et. al., United States District Court, Case No. 97 CV
       1934 J (LSP) and Pure Fill Corporation v. Glacier Water Services, Inc.,
       United States District Court, Case No. 98 CV 1836 J (LSP).


          On October 13, 1998, Aqua Natural Purefect Water, Inc. ("Aqua
       Natural") commenced an action against the Company, and others, in Harris
       County, Texas, known as Aqua Natural Purefect Water, Inc. v. The Kroger
       Company et al., Case No. 98-48829. On January 19, 1999, Aqua Natural
       filed its First Amended Complaint alleging civil conspiracy to defraud,
       conversion, tortuous interference with existing and prospective
       contracts, intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of
       contract.  Aqua Natural alleges that the Company interfered with an
       existing contract and business relationship between Kroger and Aqua
       Natural and that during the changeover of water vending systems, the
       Company and its agents damaged Aqua Natural's equipment.  Aqua Natural
       seeks unspecified damages and attorney's fees.  On or about May 7, 1999,
       the Company was served with the First Amended Complaint. The Company
       denies all of the allegations and intends to vigorously protect its
       rights in this lawsuit.  However, there can be no assurance that the
       lawsuit will be resolved in favor of the Company.
