                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                October 3, 1999

1.   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 nine-month periods ended October 3, 1999
and October 4, 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 October 3, 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.

2.   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 October 3, 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 October 3, 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 October 3, 1999, the Company held a portfolio of
marketable securities with an estimated fair value equal to $19,978,000.  Of
that amount, the estimated fair value of the Company's total debt investments
available for sale was $11,445,000, including $2,633,000 in convertible debt
securities, and the estimated fair value of the Company's total equity
securities available for sale was $8,533,000, including $4,859,000 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 nine-month periods ended October 3, 1999 were $8,222,000 and $31,914,000,
respectively.  Gross realized gains on such sales or maturities for the three-
and nine-month periods were $475,000 and $690,000, respectively.  Gross realized
losses for the three- and nine-month periods were $250,000 and $3,167,000,
respectively.  Corporate securities have maturity dates from January 2001 to
February 2009. Corporate debt securities have maturity dates from February 2001
to May 2008. A mortgage backed security has a maturity date of 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, a related party, 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 in default. As a result of the Company's
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 3, 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.

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 October 3, 1999, the Company had approximately
$4.9 million of funds available under the agreement.



4.   Extraordinary Item

     On August 13, 1999, the Company announced that the Company's Board of
Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 250,000, or approximately
7.4% of the then 3,400,000 shares outstanding, of the Glacier Water 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.  During the quarter ended October 3, 1999, the Company
repurchased 60,700 shares of the Trust Preferred Securities at an average price
of $18.32 per share. This resulted in an extraordinary gain of $336,000, which
was the result of a gain of $406,000, less the write-off of $70,000 of related
deferred debt costs. Given that the Company's effective tax rate was zero during
the quarter, no tax provision was taken on the extraordinary gain.

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. Substantially all of
these machines were removed from operations during the first quarter of 1999 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 had 13,413 machines in
operation as of October 3, 1999, 11,719 outside machines and 1,694 in-store
machines. The Company installed an additional 208 machines during the quarter
ended October 3, 1999.  At October 4, 1998, the Company had a total of 13,509
machines in operation, 12,589 outside machines and 920 in-store machines.

Revenues
--------

     For the quarter ended October 3, 1999, revenues decreased $1,211,000 or
7.2% to $15,706,000 from $16,916,000 for the third quarter a year ago. For the
nine-month period ended October 3, 1999, revenues decreased $1,602,000 or 3.6%
to $42,561,000 from $44,163,000 for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease in revenues for the quarter and the nine-month period ended October 3,
1999 was due to the negative impact of the unseasonably cooler summer weather in
the western markets and by having fewer outside machines in operation than a
year ago. There was also a negative impact on revenues during the first six
months of this year 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 October 3, 1999 decreased $565,000
to $10,045,000, or 64.0% of revenues, compared to $10,610,000, or 62.7% of
revenues in the same period last year. Operating expenses for the nine-month
period ended October 3, 1999 decreased $719,000 to $27,586,000, or 64.8% of
revenues, compared to $28,305,000, or 64.1% of revenues in the same period last
year. The decrease in total operating expenses for the quarter and the nine-
month period ended October 3, 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 operating costs as a percent of revenues was due to
the decrease in revenues in the quarter and the nine-month period.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter ended
October 3, 1999 decreased $564,000 to $2,073,000, or 13.2% of revenues, compared
to $2,637,000, or 15.6% of revenues in the same period last year. The decrease
in total SG&A expenses for the quarter ended October 3, 1999 and SG&A expenses
as a percentage of revenues in the quarter was due primarily to a decrease in
advertising expenditures and legal expenses incurred in connection the alleged
patent infringement and antitrust claims made against the Company by a
competitor that has now been dismissed.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the nine-month
period decreased $370,000 to $6,829,000, or 16.0% of revenues, compared to
$7,199,000, or 16.3% of revenues in the same period last year. This decrease in
SG&A expenses for the nine-month period and SG&A expenses as a percentage of
revenues was primarily due 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 June 28,
1999, the Company has completed an agreement to dismiss, without payment of any
kind, all of these alleged claims.

     Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,685,000 for the quarter ended
October 3, 1999, compared to $2,624,000 in the same period last year.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $7,867,000 for the nine-month period
ended October 3, 1999, compared to $7,630,000 for the same period last year.

     Interest expense increased to $1,999,000, for the quarter ended October 3,
1999, compared to $1,926,000 in the same period last year.  Interest expense for
the nine-month period ended October 3, 1999 increased to $6,016,000, compared to
$5,488,000 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 and higher outstanding balances on the bank line of credit. The Company
had $324,000 of investment income in the quarter ended October 3, 1999 compared
to investment income of $1,433,000 in the same period last year. The Company had
$1,401,000 of investment losses in the nine-month period ended October 3, 1999,
compared to investment income of $3,728,000 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 of $1.7 million in the first quarter for investments of
the Company deemed to be permanently impaired. Also contributing to the lower
levels of investment income was the significant lower levels of investments
available for sale held by the Company this year compared to last year.

     For the quarter ended October 3, 1999, the Company reported an
extraordinary gain of $336,000 resulting from the early retirement of debt.  On
August 13, 1999, the Company announced that the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the Company to purchase up to 250,000, or approximately 7.4% of the
then 3,400,000 shares outstanding, of the Glacier Water 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.  During the quarter ended October 3, 1999, the Company
repurchased 60,700 shares of the Trust Preferred Securities at an average price
of $18.32 per share. This resulted in a net extraordinary gain of $336,000,
which was the result of a gain of $406,000, less the write-off of $70,000 of
related deferred debt costs. Given that the Company's effective tax rate was
zero during the quarter, no tax provision was taken on the extraordinary gain.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net loss was $436,000, or $.15
per diluted share for the quarter and $4,742,000, or $1.66 per diluted share for
the nine-month period ended October 3, 1999, compared with net income of
$292,000, or $.10 per share for the quarter and a net loss of $584,000, or $.18
per share for the nine-month period ended October 4, 1998.

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. The Company believes that its cash and investments on hand, cash
flow from operations and availability under its Credit Facility, will be
sufficient to meet its anticipated operating and capital requirements, including
its investment in vending machines, as well as distributions related to the
Trust Preferred Securities, for at least the next twelve months.


     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 October 3, 1999, the Company had approximately
$4.9 million of funds available under the agreement.

     At October 3, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $20.2 million, and working capital of $18.2 million.
For the nine-month period ended October 3, 1999, net cash used by operations
totaled $0.8 million.  Net cash provided by financing and investing activities
was $0.9 million for the nine-month period ended October 3, 1999.

     On August 13, 1999, the Company announced that the Company's Board of
Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 250,000, or approximately
7.4% of the then 3,400,000 shares outstanding, of the Glacier Water 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.  During the quarter ended October 3, 1999, the Company
repurchased 60,700 shares of the Trust Preferred Securities at an average price
of $18.32 per share. This resulted in a net extraordinary gain of $336,000,
which was the result of a gain of $406,000, less the write-off of $70,000 of
related deferred debt costs. Given that the Company's effective tax rate was
zero during the quarter, no tax provision was taken on the extraordinary gain.


     The Company's Board of Directors had previously authorized the repurchase
of up to 750,000 shares of Glacier Water Services common stock. With the current
authorization, the Company has the authority to repurchase up to an additional
151,974 shares of Glacier Water Services common stock outstanding, or
approximately 5.4% of Glacier's 2,834,174 common shares outstanding and 189,300
shares of Glacier Water Trust Preferred Securities, or approximately 5.7% of the
3,339,300 Trust Preferred Securities outstanding as of October 3, 1999.  Such
purchases may occur from time to time in open market transactions or block
trades.

        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 October 3, 1999, the Company held a portfolio of
marketable securities with an estimated fair value equal to $19,978,000.  Of
that amount, the estimated fair value of the Company's total debt investments
available for sale was $11,445,000, including $2,633,000 in convertible debt
securities, and the estimated fair value of the Company's total equity
securities available for sale was $8,533,000, including $4,859,000 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:

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

     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 October 18, 1999, the Company filed
its answer to 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.
