|1. | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
|-- | ----------------------------------------



Central European Distribution Corporation (CEDC), a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) operates
primarily as a wholesale distributor of fine wines, beers and liquors across Poland. Based in Warsaw and operating through 13 distribution centers and 78 satellite branches the Company offers a 24 hour delivery service of alcoholic beverages. Since
its incorporation in September 1997, the Company has acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock or 100% of the voting rights of its 15 subsidiaries.



The Company through its various subsidiaries derives all its revenues in Poland.



|2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|-- | ---------------------



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CEDC and its subsidiaries all of which the Company wholly
owns or owns 100% of the voting rights. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.



CEDCs subsidiaries maintain their books of account and prepare their statutory financial statements in Polish Zloties (PLN) in accordance with
Polish statutory requirements and the Accounting Act of 29 September 1994. The subsidiaries financial statements have been adjusted to reflect accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.



The balance sheet at December 31, 2004, has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.



The unaudited interim financial statements should be read with reference to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



|3. | COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)
|-- | ---------------------------



The Companys financial statements are substantially all in Polish Zloty and gains or losses resulting from the restatement of these balances into
U.S. Dollars are posted to the Comprehensive Loss Account. As a result of the devaluation of the Polish Zloty against the U.S. Dollar during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Company incurred foreign currency translation loss of $3.2
million. The total of the accumulated other comprehensive loss consist solely of currency exchange adjustments. No tax benefit has been recorded.

|5. | ACQUISITIONS
|-- | ------------



Overview



The Companys strategy and objectives regarding its acquisition policy are to acquire regionally strong alcohol distributors in order to build market
share and construct a nationwide distribution network in order to attract and retain national clients and to strengthen its buying leverage. The price paid by the Company in making its acquisitions is based on earnings projections of the acquired
company operating under the Companys business model.



In
January 2005, the Company acquired additional staff and customers in Northern Poland from Vinex in exchange for $126,912 and 1,749 shares of common stock, which were accounted for as a business combination. During 2004, the Company made a series of
acquisitions also accounted for as a business combination. Assuming consummation of these acquisitions and the issuance of common shares as of January 1, 2004, the unaudited pro-forma consolidated operating results for the three months ended March
31, 2004 and 2005 were as follows:

|Total future rent payments |  | $ | 5,856
|                           |  |   |

Tax liabilities
(including corporate income tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), social security and other taxes) of the Companys Polish subsidiaries may be subject to examinations by Polish tax authorities for up to five years from the end of the year the tax is
payable. CEDCs U.S. federal income tax returns are also subject to examination by the U.S. tax authorities. As the application of tax laws and regulations, and transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities.



|9. | STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS
|-- | -------------------------------



The Company has elected to follow APB 25. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price of the Companys employee stock
options equals or exceed the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.



The Companys 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors, executives, and
other employees (employees) of the Company and to non-employee service providers of the Company. The Incentive Plan authorizes, and the Company has reserve for future issuance, up to 1,402,188 shares of Common Stock (subject to
anti-dilution adjustment in the event of a stock-split, recapitalization, or similar transaction). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company administers the Incentive Plan.



Employee options to purchase a total of 140,000 shares were exercised during
the first three months of 2005.



The option exercise price for
stock options granted under the Incentive Plan may not be less than fair market value but in some cases may be in excess of the market price of Common Stock on the date of grant. The Company sets the stock option price based on the closing price of
the Common Stock on the day before the date of grant if such price is not materially different than the opening price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, there is no compensation expense recorded for options granted under the
Incentive Plan to employees. Stock options may be exercised up to 10 years after the date of grant except as otherwise provided in the particular stock option agreement. Payment for the shares purchased under the Incentive Plan must be in cash,
which must be received by the Company prior to any shares being issued.

Pro forma
information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of Statement 123. The fair value of these stock
options were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.69% in 2005 and 1.90% in 2004; dividend yields of 0.0% in both 2005 and 2004;
volatility factors of the expected market price of the Companys common stock of 1.15 in 2005 and 1.25 in 2004; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 3.4 years in both 2005 and 2004.



The Black-Scholes option valuation method was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Companys employee stock option have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion,
the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.



For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. The
Companys pro forma information follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The disclosure and analysis of the Company in this report contain forward-looking statements, which provide the Companys current expectations or forecasts of future
events. Forward-looking statements in this report include, without limitation:



| |  |  | information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations, trends in financial results and business plans, including those relating to earnings growth and revenue
growth;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | statements about the level of the Companys costs and operating expenses relative to its revenues, and about the expected composition of its revenues;

| |  |  | statements about the Companys integration of its acquisitions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other statements that are not historical facts.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



Words such as believes, anticipates and intends may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not
necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. The Companys actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in the section
entitled Risk Factors in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004



You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect
circumstances or events after the date of this report, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks the Company describes in the reports it files from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC.



The following discussion and analysis provides
information which management believes is relevant to the readers assessment and understanding of the Companys results of operations and financial condition and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
the notes thereto found elsewhere in this report. Investors are also referred to the Risk Factors in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.



Overview



In order to aid understanding, we have prepared tables which segment the income statement information as presented in the financial statements into those elements of the
income statement which relate to operations acquired by the Company during the reporting period and those which relate to operations owned in both reporting periods. Key definitions are:



Total Operations Q1 2005: This represents actual reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.



Operations Acquired: These are the eliminations of the amounts generated by the
2005 and the 2004 acquired subsidiaries for the equivalent pre-acquisition period of 2004 (the equivalent pre-acquisition period for 2004 is defined as the period from January 1, 2004 through the date of the acquisition of the entity acquired) so as
to present the 2005 continuing operations results for the same year on year periods.



Continuing Operations Q1 2005: The amounts for 2005 generated by the same subsidiaries owned in 2004 and for the same period of time as in 2004.



Total Operations Q1 2004: This is the extract from the income statement for total operations for the quarter ended March 31,
2004.



Also found in this report are references to the term cash on
delivery, or COD. Normal trade terms from our Polish vodka suppliers are 60 days; however, the Company is offered by some of these suppliers significant discounts if the Company pays for goods when delivered. The discounts offered are
considerably in excess of the effective rate the Company would pay for 60-day terms on its bank facilities. The Company will later refer to COD in discussions regarding margin and short term banking facilities.

Results of Operations



Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004



Operations acquired include the first quarter results for Miro (acquired June 6, 2004), Saol (acquired May 21, 2004) and Polnis
(acquired October 11, 2004). These results have been excluded from continuing operations Q1 2005 to show the impact of a common three month period of ownership in both years.

Net Sales



Total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005, increased by 35.8%, or $39.5
million, to $150.0 million. Net sales from continuing operations increased by 17.7%, or $19.6 million, to $130.1 million from $110.5 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in total sales has been driven by the following factors:



| | 1. | Sales coverage through both existing locations and acquisitions,

Gross Profit



Total gross profit on net sales increased by 43.0% or $5.9 million. When expressed as a
percentage of sales, total gross margins increased from 12.5% to 13.1%. The improvement of margins was driven primarily by sales of Vodka purchased during the end of 2004 prior to the excise tax increase and the continued growth of higher margin
imports.

##### Table of Contents

Operating Expenses



Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by 34.0% from $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2004 to $12.9 million in the first quarter of
2005. As a percent of sales, SG&A remained in line at 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 8.7% for the same period ended March 31, 2004.



Operating Income



Total operating income increased by 64.1%, or $2.6 million, to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. When expressed as a percentage of sales, total
operating income was 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to 3.7% for the same period of 2004. Operating income from continuing operations increased by $2.2 million to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As
a percentage of sales, operating income from continuing operations increased to 4.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to 3.7% for the same period of 2004. The increase in operating income was due primarily to higher gross
profit margin noted above.



Interest Expense



Total interest expense increased $460,000, or 99.8%, from $461,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 to $921,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is due to a combination of higher stock purchased during the end of 2004 and 1stquarter of 2005, and higher interests rates, as compared to the same period in 2004. As noted earlier, the additional stock was purchased to take advantage of
lower prices related to the excise price increase in Poland, and thereby benefiting gross profit margins. Additionally the trend with interest rates, began to reverse during the first four months of 2005, with the National Bank of Polands
reduction of the inter-bank borrowing rate by 75 basis points. The one month Warsaw inter-bank rate (WIBOR) decreased from 6.46% at the end of 2004, to 5.58% as at May 10, 2005.



Net Realized and Unrealized Foreign Currency Losses



The net change relating to foreign exchange losses increased from $46,000 in the first quarter of 2004 to $93,000 in the first quarter of
2005. These losses were the result of translation movements on trade payables to non Polish suppliers offset by opposite movements in inventories denominated in currencies other than the Polish zloty and held in the Companys bonded warehouse.



Income Tax



The total tax charge for the period ending March 31, 2005, was $1,126,000 or 19.6% of
pre-tax profits. For the same period in 2004, the charge was $556,000, or 15.2% of pre-tax profits. The primary driver for variance to the Polish statutory tax rate of 19% was due to an additional provision made for the deferred tax asset in the
period ending March 31, 2005.



Net Income



Total net income increased by 48.6% from $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2004 to $4.6
million in the first quarter of 2005. Net income from continuing operations increased by 42.3%. These increases were due to the factors noted above.



Statement of Liquidity and Capital Resources



During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company continued to purchase additional stock, prior to price increases, for local spirits, thus taking additional
inventory as compared to the same period in the prior year . In addition, a significant amount of payables related to year end inventory purchases were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2005. As a result, the inventory level for this
period did not decline to the same proportion as the reduction in accounts payable from the year end levels, causing increased cash requirements for working capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Companys operating
activities utilized cash of $0.7 million compared to generating cash of $10.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Operating cash flows are generated by:



| |  |  | cash earnings defined as net earnings as adjusted for non-cash expense/income items such as depreciation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | movements in working capital, primarily the movements of trade receivables and payables as well as inventory; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | movements in other current assets and liabilities.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



The sources and uses of operating cash flows can be summarized as:

The Company believes that its operating cash flow, together with borrowings under available credit facilities will be
sufficient for its operating needs, other than future acquisitions, and debt servicing requirements as they come due.



As stated above, the movements on the comprehensive loss account are driven by the effect of exchange rate movements in Polish zloty denominated equity items within the
balance sheet. Because of the size of the movement in this period, the Company has disclosed the item separately.



On April 18, 2005, the Company signed a letter of intent providing for the acquisition of Botapol B.V. which owns 100% of the shares of Bols Poland Sp. z o.o.,
Polands third largest distiller, for $265 million, subject to adjustment. The acquisition is planned to be funded through a combination of cash and shares. The share portion is to be between 45%-60% of the total purchase price, at the option
of the Company. The cash portion of the purchase price will be funded through a contemplated debt financing. The acquisition by the Company of Bols is subject to each partys due diligence with respect to the others and the parties entering
into definitive documentation, receipt of Polish anti-monopoly and other regulatory approvals, and the approval of the stockholders of the Company under applicable Nasdaq MarketPlace rules in the event that the number of the Company shares to be
issued in the transaction exceeds 20% of the number of the Company shares currently outstanding. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2005.



STATEMENT ON INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS



Inflation in Poland is projected at 2.1% for 2005, compared to actual inflation of 3.5% in 2004. For the first three months of 2005, the
yearly inflation was 3.7%.



The Companys operating cash flows and
substantially all of its assets are denominated in Polish zloty. This means that the Company is exposed to translation risk both on its balance sheet and income statement. The impact on working capital items is demonstrated on the cash flow
statement as the movement in exchange on cash and cash equivalents. The impact on the income statement is by the movement of the average exchange rate used to restate the income statement from Polish zloty to U.S. Dollars. The amounts shown as FX
gains or losses on the face of the income statement relate only to realized gains or losses on non Polish zloty denominated transactions.



During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the exchange rate for the Polish zloty versus the U.S. Dollar weakened from 2.99 to 3.15 or 5.4%.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



General



The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Companys
consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of net sales, expenses, assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.



Provisions for Doubtful Debts



The Company makes general
provision for doubtful debt based on the aging of its trade receivables. Where circumstances require, the Company will make specific provision for any excess not provided for under the general provision.

Inventory



Because of the nature of the products supplied by the Company great attention is paid to inventory rotation. Where goods are estimated to be obsolete or unmarketable they
are written down to a value reflecting the saleable value in their relevant condition.



Goodwill and Intangibles



Acquired goodwill is no longer
amortized as required by FASB 142. Instead the Company assesses the recoverability of its goodwill at least once a year or whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances or business climate indicate that expected future cash flows (undiscounted
and without interest charges) for individual business units may not be sufficient to support the recorded goodwill. If undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to support the goodwill, an impairment charge would be recognized to reduce the
carrying value of the goodwill based on the expected discounted cash flows of the business unit. No such charge has been considered necessary through the date of the accompanying financial statements. Intangibles (trademarks) are amortized over 10
years.



The calculation of the impairment charge for goodwill requires use of
estimates. Factoring in a deviation of +/- 10% for estimated gross profit of the acquired entities, or the discount rate as compared to managements estimate, there would still be no need for an impairment charge of goodwill.



Purchase Price Allocation



We account for our acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and allocate the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The determination of the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as
associated asset useful lives, will require management to make estimates.



Due
to the numerous variables associated with our judgments and assumptions relating to the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates are subject to uncertainty.



Recently issued accounting pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share Based Payments, a
revision of the prior FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. This statements requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. The statement offers a number
of possibilities for implementation. The SEC has provided an extension of this to allow implementation during the first quarter of 2006. The Company has elected to implement the modified prospective application, which will require the Company to
begin to recognize the impact of the change in January 2006 and will not restate any prior periods. The expected impact during 2006 is approximately $850,000, based upon current market conditions. Management of the Company is still in process of
evaluating what forms of compensation may be introduced in future periods in lieu of the existing option program.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Foreign Currency Risk. Currently none of the Companys loans are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency, the Polish Zloty. As a result, in the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company
is not exposed to any risk from foreign exchange movements as regards its funding. The Company is exposed as regards its carrying of non Polish zloty balances for foreign suppliers, export sales and goods in bonded warehouses. As at March 31, 2005,
these balances were not significant.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Disclosure
Controls and Internal Controls. The term disclosure controls and procedures is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of the Company
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (such as this quarterly report), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Internal controls over financial reporting refer to a process that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Companys transactions are properly authorized,
recorded and reported and that the Companys assets are safeguarded from improper use to permit the preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Companys management, including
the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within the Company have been detected. Further, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives.



Changes to Internal Controls. In accordance with the SECs requirements, the CEO and the CFO note that, during the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been
no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.



Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based upon the required evaluation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
