               AMCON Distributing Company and Subsidiaries
         Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
                           June 30, 2006 and 2005
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 and a non-
alcoholic beverage business that includes a natural artesian water bottling
operation in the State of Hawaii.

AMCON's wholesale distribution business ("ADC") includes five distribution
centers that sell approximately 13,000 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,
drug stores and gas stations.  In addition, the Company services
institutional customers, including restaurants and bars, schools, sports
complexes and vendors, as well as other wholesalers.

AMCON also operates six retail health food stores in Florida under the name
Chamberlin's Market & Cafe ("Chamberlin's") and seven in the Midwest under
the name Akin's Natural Foods Market ("Akin's").  These stores carry natural
supplements, groceries, health and beauty care products and other food items.

In addition, AMCON operates a non-alcoholic beverage business which, consists
of Hawaiian Natural Water Company, Inc. ("HNWC"). HNWC bottles natural
artesian water from an exclusive source located on the Big Island of Hawaii
and bottles purified drinking water on the island of Oahu.  HNWC currently
markets its products primarily in the State of Hawaii, but has expanded
marketing to the mainland United States and certain international markets.

In March 2006, Trinity Springs, Inc. ("TSI"), which was formerly part of the
Company's beverage segment, ceased on-going operations because of recurring
losses as discussed further in Note 2.  TSI bottled and distributed
geothermal water, natural mineral supplements and other premium beverages.
As a result, the balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005,
and the statements of operations for the three and nine month fiscal periods
ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 and cash flows for the nine month
fiscal periods ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 have been prepared
reflecting TSI in discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of
Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

As previously disclosed in the Company's Fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form
10-K and described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Unaudited
Financial Statements, the financial statements for the three and nine month
fiscal periods ended June 30, 2005, included within this quarterly report,
have been restated.  The restatement reflects the impact of errors made in
certain interest expense allocations to The Beverage Group, Inc. ("TBG"),
which ceased operations in March 2005, and inventory production accounting
errors made at HNWC, both of which occurred during fiscal 2005.

                                   7
Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
include the accounts of AMCON Distributing Company and its subsidiaries.
As a result of its 85% ownership in TSI, the Company has included its
operating results in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and
has presented the 15% non-owned interest in this subsidiary as a minority
interest.  Further, the Company has suspended the allocation of TSI's losses
to minority shareholders as their equity basis has been reduced to zero and
the minority shareholders have not guaranteed TSI's debt or committed
additional capital to TSI.  As described further in Note 12, the Company is
currently involved in litigation regarding the ownership of TSI's assets.
Based on independent legal counsel's opinion as described in Note 2, the
Company continues to account for TSI as a consolidated subsidiary of AMCON.

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 financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's annual audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended September 30, 2005, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K ("2005 Annual Report").

For convenience, the third fiscal quarters of 2006 and 2005 have been
referred to throughout this quarterly report as June 2006 and June 2005,
respectively.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company changed
its reporting period from a 52-53 week year ending on the last Friday in
September to a calendar month reporting period ending on September 30 of each
year.  As a result of this change, the first nine months of fiscal 2005
include one additional week of operations compared to the first nine months
of fiscal 2006.

Stock-based Compensation
- ------------------------
Prior to its expiration in June 2004, AMCON maintained a stock-based
compensation plan under which the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors could grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock
options.

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS
123R), Share Based Payment.  The Company chose to apply the modified
prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and therefore has not
restated prior periods.  Under the transition method, compensation cost
associated with employee stock options has been recognized for the three and
nine month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2006 totaling $15,000 and $45,000,
respectively.  This expense represents the amortization of unvested stock
option awards granted prior to September 30, 2005 and has been reflected in
the consolidated statement of operations under "selling, general and
administrative expenses." Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company
accounted for these plans under APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued

                                   8
to Employees, and related Interpretations.  Under APB Opinion 25, no
compensation cost associated with stock options was reflected in net income
(loss) available to common shareholders, as all options granted under these
plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying
common stock on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) available to
common shareholders and income (loss) per share for the three and nine month
fiscal periods ended June 2005, had the Company applied the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------------------
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No 109.
The Interpretation provides a consistent recognition threshold and
measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently
recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions for
financial statement purposes.  The Interpretation also requires expanded
disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.  FIN 48 will be
effective at the beginning of the Company's 2007 fiscal year. The Company is
currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the financial
statements.


                                   9
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 the Company's fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

2.  DISPOSITIONS

In March 2006 the Company's subsidiary, TSI, ceased operations and was
classified as a component of discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS
No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
and has been reflected as such in the accompanying condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2006 and 2005.

In first two fiscal quarters of 2006 the Company's subsidiary,
The Beverage Group, Inc. ("TBG"), was also classified as a component of
discontinued operations.  In April 2006 the Company successfully concluded
its wind-down plan of TBG's operations.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the
Company has reclassified the residual asset and liability balances for TBG's
disposal group to continuing operations and have been reflected as such
throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Trinity Springs, Inc.
- ---------------------
In March 2006 TSI discontinued operations due to recurring losses and a lack
of capital resources to sustain operations.  TSI operated a water bottling
facility in Idaho and was a component of the Company's beverage segment.
Management is currently working to sell TSI's remaining assets to unrelated
companies, distributors or liquidators.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", TSI has been reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2006 and 2005
as a component of discontinued operations.  During the second fiscal quarter
of 2006, the Company recorded charges, included in loss from discontinued
operations before taxes, of $0.2 million related to the closure of TSI's
operations.  These charges were incurred primarily to adjust inventory to
its net realizable value.  There have been no additional charges related to
TSI closure.

The Beverage Group, Inc.
- -------------------------
In March 2005, the Company's subsidiary, TBG, which represented the beverage
marketing and distribution component of the beverage segment, also ceased
on-going operations due to recurring losses since its inception in December
2002.  During the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded
a charge, included in loss from discontinued operations, of $0.8 million to
adjust TBG's accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets to their net
realizable values. Additionally, in accordance with SFAS No. 146 "Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", the Company recorded
a one-time charge of $0.1 million related to the termination of an office
lease.


                                   10
In the first two quarters of fiscal 2006 TBG was classified as a component of
discontinued operations because it ceased operations on March 31, 2005.
In April 2006 the Company successfully concluded its wind-down plan of TBG's
operations and accordingly has classified its residual liabilities with
continuing operations and has been reflected as such throughout this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Sales from discontinued operations, which have been excluded from income from
continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited
statements of operations, are presented as follows.  Discontinued operations
include TSI's results from operations for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005.  Discontinued operations also include TBG's results
from operations for the first six fiscal months of 2006 and first nine fiscal
months of 2005.  As previously discussed, any residual expenses related to
TBG (primarily professional fees) have been accounted for as a component of
continuing operations effective April 1, 2006.  The effects of the
discontinued operations on net income (loss) available to common shareholders
and per share data are reflected within the accompanying condensed
consolidated unaudited statements of operations.

Included in the disposal groups are debt obligations payable to related
parties from TSI as follows:

   -  TSI owes a director of the Company $1.0 million on a revolving credit
      facility with an interest rate of 8.0% per annum.  The loan is
      secured by a second mortgage on TSI's real property on an equal basis
      with the Company's existing second mortgage on TSI's real property.
      The revolving credit line matured on December 14, 2005 at which time
      principal and accrued interest were due.

   -  TSI owes $0.5 million on a loan due to a related party which is
      wholly-owned by three of the Company's directors (including the
      Chairman and the President) and another significant shareholder.
      The note bears interest at 7.0% per annum and matured in
      December 2005.

   -  TSI obtained unsecured, subordinated loans totaling $0.5 million from
      unaffiliated businesses of two of the Company's directors, including a
      Company of which the Chairman of the Board is a partner.  The loan
      matured on December 8, 2005 and bears interest of 7.0% per annum.

   -  TSI owes $750,000 to Draupnir, LLC on a note bearing interest at a
      floating rate of 300 basis points above the ten year treasury note
      yield, compounded annually and adjusted concurrently with any
      adjustments to the yield on the ten year treasury note.  The notes
      matured on December 13, 2005.

All of the aforementioned notes payable to related parties from TSI are in
default as of June 30, 2006 and are classified in current liabilities of
discontinued operations.

</TABLE>

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

                                   12
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,
minimum thresholds of ownership by the Chairman and his family in AMCON, or
bankruptcy.  The Preferred Stock are optionally redeemable by the Company
beginning on various dates, as listed above, 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 also 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 own approximately 60% of the outstanding common stock as
of June 30, 2006.  Mr. William Wright, who has been AMCON's Chairman of the
Board since AMCON's founding, beneficially owns 29% of the outstanding common
stock without giving effect to shares owned by his adult children.  There is
an 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 see optional redemption
without the Board being supportive of the events that may trigger that right.
The Series A is owned by Mr. Wright, the Company's Chairman, and a private
equity firm (Draupnir, LLC) of which Mr. Petersen and Mr. Jeremy Hobbs, both
of whom are directors of the Company, are Members.  The Series B Preferred
Stock is owned by an institutional investor which has elected Mr. Chris
Atayan, now AMCON's Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to AMCON's
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 the parent company of Draupnir, LLC (the owner
of Series A).  Mr. Petersen and Mr. Hobbs are also Members 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 future.

4.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following at June 2006 and September 2005:

                              ============    ============

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 (last-in, first-out or "LIFO"
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 (LIFO) or market and consists of the costs of
finished goods.  The beverage operation's inventories are stated at the lower
of cost (LIFO) or market and consist of raw materials and finished goods.
The beverage operation's finished goods inventory includes raw materials,
related plant labor and manufacturing overhead costs to convert raw materials
to finished goods.  Raw materials inventory consists of pre-forms used to
make bottles, caps, labels and various packaging and shipping materials.  The
LIFO reserves at June 2006 and September 2005 represent the amount by which
LIFO inventories were less than the amount of such inventories valued on a
first-in, first-out basis, respectively.  The allowance for obsolete
inventory of $0.3 million and $0.4 million at June 2006 and September 2005,
respectively, 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 for continuing operations of the Company was

Goodwill, trademarks and tradenames are considered to have indefinite
useful lives and therefore no amortization has been taken on these assets.
The Company performs an annual impairment testing of goodwill and other
intangible assets after the completion of its third fiscal quarter.

Amortization expense for intangible assets that are considered to have finite
lives was $9,933 and $29,798 and $38,762 and $146,196 for the three and nine
months ended June 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets held at June 2006 for each
of the five years subsequent to September 30, 2005 is estimated to be 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 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 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 June 2006 and
June 2005 that were anti-dilutive were not included in the computations of

                                   15
diluted earnings per share.  Such potential common shares totaled 354,537
with an average exercise price of $22.12 for the nine months ended June 2006
and 197,199 with an average exercise price of $29.20 for the nine months
ended June 2005.

8.  DEBT

Credit Agreement
- ----------------
The Company's credit agreement with LaSalle Bank (the "Facility") provides
for a $55.0 million credit limit consisting of a $53.8 million revolving
credit line and a $1.2 million term note ("Term Note A").  As payments are
made on Term Note A, the revolving credit limit increases accordingly to a
maximum of $55.0 million.  At June 30, 2006, the credit limit on the
revolving portion of the Facility was $54.2 million.  In addition, the
Facility provides for a separate term loan in the initial amount of $5.0
million ("Term Note B").

The Facility, which expires in July 2007 (as amended in November 2006),
includes 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 borrowing for
the month and financial covenants.  Additionally, management is in
negotiations to execute an early renewal of the Facility agreement under
terms similar to those currently in place including certain financial
covenant modifications.
                                  18

The significant provisions of the Facility at June 2006 are as follows:

   - Inclusion of the subsidiaries as part of the Facility.

   - Inclusion of Term Note A within the $55.0 million revolving limit that
     is amortized in equal monthly installments over 60 months.

   - The Company borrows at the bank's base interest rate.

   - Inclusion of a prepayment penalty of $0.3 million should the loans be
     paid off prior to September 30, 2006.

The Facility contains covenants (as amended in January 2006) that (i)
restrict permitted investments, (ii) restrict intercompany advances to
certain subsidiaries, (iii) restrict incurrence of additional debt, (iv)
restrict mergers and acquisitions and changes in business or conduct of
business and (v) requires that consolidated EBITDA (excluding TSI, TBG and
HNWC) not be less than: (a) $100,000 as of the last day of each month for the
one-month period then ending, except for the month ending February 28, 2006
which was permitted to be zero, (b) $1,100,000 as of March 31, 2006 for the
three-month period then ending, (c) $3,200,000 as of June 30, 2006 for the
six-month period then ending, and (d) $5,500,000 as of September 30, 2006 for
the ninth-month period then ending, and (e) $6,500,000 as of December 31,
2006 for the twelve-month period then ending. The Facility also provides that
the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock in excess of $0.72 per
share on an annual basis.

The January 2006 amendment also required AMCON and its subsidiaries to hire a
turn-around consultant for the beverage businesses acceptable to the agent
for the bank lenders by January 31, 2006 and to pay to the agent its
customary fees and expenses in exercising its rights under the loan
agreement.  In addition, the amendment created a new event of default if
AMCON or its subsidiaries makes any payment (in cash or other property) or a
judgment is entered against AMCON or its subsidiaries requiring a payment (in
cash or other property) to be made under or in connection with the guaranty
by AMCON of the TSI acquisition notes or the water royalty under the asset
purchase agreement for the purported sale of TSI assets.  The amendment also
reduced the monthly payment on Term Note B from $275,000 per month to
$100,000 per month until paid in full.

The Facility also provides for a "springing" lock-box arrangement, under
which, the Company maintains a lock-box from which it may apply cash receipts
to any corporate purpose so long as it is not in default under the Facility.
The bank maintains a security interest in the Company's lock-box and upon the
occurrence of default may redirect funds from the lock-box to a loan account
in the name of the lenders on a daily basis and apply the funds against the
revolving loan balance.

In November 2006 the Company and Lasalle Bank amended the Credit Facility to
extend the maturity date of the credit agreement to July 2007.

As of June 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on the Facility was $54.8
million, including Term Note A.  The Facility bears interest at the bank's
base rate, which was 8.0% as of June 30, 2006 and is collateralized by all of
the Company's equipment, intangibles, inventories, and accounts receivable.
Based on our collateral and loan limits, the Company was over the borrowing
base credit limits on the Facility by $0.3 million at June 30, 2006 but was
under the over-advance provision of $1.5 million provided by the facility.
                                   19

The outstanding balance on Term Note B was $1.9 million at June 30, 2006.
It bears interest at the bank's base rate, plus 2.0%, which was 10.0% as of
June 30, 2006 and, as amended, is payable in equal monthly installments of
$0.1 million.

The Company's Chairman has personally guaranteed repayment of up to $10.0
million ($6.9 million at June 30, 2006) of the combined amount of the
Facility and the term loans.  AMCON pays the Company's Chairman a fee equal
to 2.0% per annum of the guaranteed principal then outstanding in return for
the personal guarantee.  This guarantee is secured by a pledge of the shares
of Chamberlin's Natural Foods, Inc., Health Food Associates, Inc., HNWC and
TSI.

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 M&I Bank (formerly known as Gold Bank), who
is also a participant lender on the Company's revolving line of credit.  The
M&I owned real estate term 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 owned real estate 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.

Self-Insured Loss Control Program
- ---------------------------------
In connection with the Company's self-insured loss control program, AMCON has
issued a letter of credit in the amount of $1.0 million to its workers'
compensation insurance carrier.


9.  WATER ROYALTY

In connection with the assets purchased by the Company to form its
subsidiary, TSI, the Company entered into an agreement with the former owners
of those assets, Crystal Paradise Holdings, Inc. (CPH).  The agreement calls
for TSI to pay CPH, in perpetuity, an amount equal to the greater of $0.03
per liter of water extracted from the source or 4.0% of water revenues (as
defined by the purchase agreement).  The agreement is guaranteed by AMCON up
to a maximum of $5.0 million, subject to a floor of $288,000 annually.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded a $2.8 million liability related to the
present value of the future minimum water royalty payments and related broker
fees to be paid in perpetuity.

The water royalty is secured by a first priority security and mortgage on the
acquired assets, other than inventory and accounts receivable.  CPH retains
the right to receive any water royalty payment for the first five years in
shares of AMCON common stock up to maximum of 41,666 shares.  The water
royalty can be cancelled after ten years have elapsed and the business of TSI
is sold to an unaffiliated third party, in which case CPH would be entitled
to receive the appraised fair market value of the water royalty but not less
than $5.0 million.  The Company's Chairman has in turn guaranteed AMCON in
connection with AMCON's obligation for these payments.

                                   20

10.  STOCK PLANS

Prior its expiration in June 2004, AMCON maintained a stock-based
compensation plan which provided that the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors granted incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options
pursuant to the Stock Option Plan of up to 550,000 shares.  In fiscal 2005,
the Compensation Committee evaluated various equity based compensation
programs and chose not to implement a new plan.

The Company accounted for the stock option grants in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" using the intrinsic value method under which
compensation cost was measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of its common stock on the date of grant over the exercise price of the
stock option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Accordingly,
stock-based compensation cost related to stock option grants was not
reflected in income or loss as all options granted under the plan had an
exercise price equal to or above the market value of the underlying stock on
the date of grant.  Options are generally granted at the stock's fair market
value at date of grant.  Options issued to shareholders holding 10% or more
of the Company's stock are generally issued at 110% of the stock's fair
market value at date of grant.

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, Shared Based Payment
(SFAS 123R).  The Company chose to apply the modified prospective transition
method as permitted by SFAS 123R and therefore has not restated prior
periods.  Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with
employee stock options recognized for the three and nine months ended June
30, 2006, includes amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of
stock options granted prior to September 30, 2005.  At June 30, 2006, the
amount of unrecognized stock option compensation cost, to be recognized over
a weighted average period of 1.1  years, was approximately $29,000.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, net income (loss) before taxes included
share-based compensation expense of $15,000 and $45,000 for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2006.  At June 30, 2006, there were 33,066
options fully vested and exercisable under the Stock Option Plan.  Options
issued and outstanding to management employees pursuant to the Stock Option
Plan are summarized below:

consumer products, the retail sale of health and natural food products, and
the bottling and distribution of bottled water 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.  The beverage segment is comprised of HNWC's operations.
As discussed in Note 2, TBG and TSI, formerly part of the beverage segment,
ceased operations on March 2005 and March 2006, respectively, and have
accordingly been included in the "Other" column.  Also included in the
"Other" column are the charges incurred by the AMCON's holding company (The
Holding Company).  The segments are evaluated on revenues, gross margins,
operating income (loss) and income before taxes.

12.  CONTINGENCIES

As described in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is
involved in litigation regarding the ownership of the assets of Trinity
Springs, Inc. ("TSI"), which is a consolidated subsidiary of AMCON.  The
dispute, which began in June 2004, arose over the sale of substantially all
of the assets of Trinity Springs, Ltd. (which later changed its name to
Crystal Paradise Holdings, Inc. ("CPH").  The Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are a
group of minority shareholders, and the Defendants are AMCON, TSL Acquisition
Corp (which later became TSI), CPH, and the former directors of CPH.

In December 2005, the District Court of the Fifth Judicial District of the
State of Idaho ("the Court") issued a ruling granting the minority
shareholder plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment declaring that
the stockholders of CPH did not validly approve the sale of its business and
assets to TSI (AMCON's consolidated subsidiary) because the vote of certain
shares issued as a dividend should not have been counted in the vote.  The
Court did not rule on the appropriate relief to be granted as a result of the
lack of shareholder approval for the asset sale transaction, nor did it rule
on the appropriate remedy for any other claim asserted by the parties in this
case.

However, based on a legal opinion obtained by management from independent
legal counsel, to the extent that TSI owned the assets immediately prior to
the ruling by the Court discussed above, and has not otherwise transferred
the assets, TSI continues to own the assets.  Accordingly, AMCON has
continued to account for the operations of TSI as a consolidated subsidiary
because the Court has not taken any action to divest TSI of its ownership of
the assets.

Since the Court's December 2005 ruling, several events have taken place.  The
minority shareholder plaintiffs have filed notice with the District Court
that they agree that rescission is not feasible.  During approximately the
same time frame, the entire CPH Board of Directors resigned.  Upon their
resignation, the Court appointed a custodian to manage and direct the affairs
of CPH.  Additionally, the custodian was designated by the Court as CPH's
investigative panel to determine whether the maintenance of a derivative
proceeding is in the best interest of CPH.

During the last several months, the parties have been engaged in settlement
discussions.  Recently, a settlement agreement was reached between the
parties.  The settlement resolved all disputes between the shareholders
plaintiffs, CPH, AMCON, TSI and the Defendant Directors, with two exceptions
that relate to AMCON.  The settlement did not resolve claims that CPH may
have against AMCON and TSI or that AMCON and TSI may have against CPH.  The
settlement also did not resolve the claims of a single shareholder plaintiff,
who declined to agree to the settlement.  On October 16, 2006, the Court
approved the parties' settlement and ordered the dismissal with prejudice of
the lawsuit, except for the claims of the single shareholder plaintiff whose
claims remain pending in the lawsuit and the claims that may exist as between
AMCON/TSI and CPH.

With respect to the remaining claims, AMCON's management, after consulting
with the trial counsel, is unable at this time to state that any outcome
unfavorable to AMCON is either probable or remote and therefore cannot
estimate the amount or range of any potential loss, if any because
substantial discovery is needed, several unresolved legal issues exist, and
other pretrial work is yet to be completed.

13.  RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As previously disclosed in the Company's Fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form
10-K, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three
and nine month fiscal periods ended June 30, 2005, included within this
quarterly report, have been restated.

As discussed in Item 4 - Controls and Procedures, in performing year end
audit procedures as of and for the period ended September 30, 2005 of the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, HNWC, the auditors noted discrepancies in
the inventory records.  These discrepancies led the Company's Audit Committee
to initiate an internal investigation which resulted in the identification of
several areas where journal entries were recorded incorrectly including
inventory production accounting errors; the overstatement of inventory when
integrating fiscal 2005 production systems and records of an operation
acquired in fiscal 2004; capitalization of certain fixed overhead costs as
inventory which should have been expensed; failure to reserve an appropriate
amount for inventory that became obsolete; and capitalization of certain
product development costs that should have been expensed as incurred.

In addition, management and the Company's Audit Committee determined that the
Company had incorrectly allocated interest expense to one of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries that had ceased operations on March 31, 2005 (The Beverage
Group, Inc.).  Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 87-24 "Allocation of
Interest to Discontinued Operations", requires that (a) interest on debt that
is to be assumed by the buyer or is required to be repaid as a result of the
disposal transaction should be allocated to discontinued operations and (b)
the allocation of discontinued operations of other consolidated interest that
is not directly attributable to or related to other operations of the
enterprise is permitted but not required.  If interest is allocated to
discontinued operations it should be determined by a ratio of net assets to
total net assets after adjusting for all interest and debt directly
attributable to other aspects of the business.

The Company allocated interest to its discontinued operation in its quarterly
reporting in fiscal 2005 using an invested capital calculation which resulted
in higher interest expense being allocated to discontinued operations than
permitted by EITF 87-24.  Accordingly, the Company concluded that only direct
interest expense, which totaled $0.1 million should have been allocated to
discontinued operations.  The fiscal 2005 impact of this restatement was
corrected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 with the reclassification of
$0.5 million of interest expense, net of income tax benefit of $0.3 million
from discontinued operations to income (loss) from continuing operations.

The table set forth below gives effect to the restatements that have been
reflected in the June 30, 2005 balance sheet, statement of operations, and
statement of cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 2005.

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:

   - treatment of TSI transaction,
   - changing market conditions with regard to cigarettes,
   - changes in promotional and incentive programs offered by cigarette
     manufacturers,
   - the demand for the Company's products,
   - new business ventures,
   - domestic regulatory risks,
   - competition,
   - 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.

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

                                   28
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 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no significant changes with respect to these policies during
the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

RESTATEMENT

As previously disclosed in the Company's fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form
10-K and as discussed in Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements, the Company's June 30, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet,
Statement of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows have been restated from
the amounts previously reported.  The accompanying management's discussion
and analysis and results of operations gives effect to the restatement.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2006, the Company's subsidiary, TSI, ceased operations and was
classified as a component of discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS
No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
and has been reflected as such in the accompanying condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2006 and 2005.

During the last two fiscal quarters of 2005, and the first two fiscal
quarters of 2006, the Company's subsidiary, The Beverage Group, Inc. ("TBG"),
was also classified as a component of discontinued operations.  In April 2006
the Company successfully concluded its wind-down plan of TBG's operations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company has reclassified the residual
asset and liability balances for TBG's disposal group to continuing
operations and has been reflected as such throughout this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.

Additionally, management's discussion and analysis of the results of
operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30,
2005, excludes TBG's and TSI's sales, gross profit (loss), selling, general
and administrative, depreciation and amortization, direct interest, other
expenses and income tax benefit which have been aggregated and reported as a
loss from discontinued operations and are therefore not a component of the
discussion of the aforementioned items.

COMPANY OVERVIEW - THIRD FISCAL QUARTER 2006

AMCON Distributing Company ("AMCON" or the "Company") is primarily engaged in
the wholesale distribution business in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain
regions of the United States.  In addition, AMCON operates thirteen retail
health food stores and a non-alcoholic beverage business that consists of a
natural artesian water bottling operation in the state of Hawaii.  As used
herein, unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "ADC" means the
wholesale distribution segment and "AMCON" or the "Company" means AMCON
Distributing Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.  AMCON's fiscal third
quarters ended on June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.  For ease of discussion,
these fiscal quarters are referred to herein as June 2006 and 2005,
respectively or Q3 2006 and Q3 2005, respectively.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company:

 -  experienced a 4.1% increase in sales compared to the third quarter of
    fiscal 2005.

 -  recognized earnings (loss) from continuing operations per diluted share
    of $0.69 and ($0.13) for the three and nine months ended June 2006,
    respectively, compared to earnings (loss) from continuing operations per
    diluted share of $0.73 and $0.49 for the same periods in the prior
    year.

 -  recognized loss from discontinued operations per diluted share
    of ($0.28) and ($2.91) for the three and nine months ended June 2006,
    respectively, compared to a loss from discontinued operations per
    diluted share of ($1.05) and ($5.63) for the same periods in the prior
    year.

- -  Successfully concluded its wind-down plan of its TBG subsidiary which was
   classified in discontinued operations in the Company's unaudited
   condensed consolidated financial statements.

INDUSTRY SEGMENT OVERVIEWS

Wholesale Distribution Segment
- -----------------------------
The wholesale distribution business represents approximately 95% of our
consolidated sales.  ADC places significant importance on an alliance with
the major cigarette manufacturers that comprise 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 obligation to their
shareholders, the importance they place on branding, their commitment to
growing their market share in a declining category and their price gap
management strategies. We believe that the consumer's preference for premium
brands currently drives the category volume.

ADC is ranked as a top ten convenience store supplier and our retailers are
provided a broad selection of merchandise in all product categories.  We
continue to increase our food service product line selections to our customer
base to respond to current market trends.

                                   30
We have worked to improve ADC's operating efficiency by investing in newer
information technology systems to help automate our buying and financial
control functions. We have also sought to minimize inventory costs by
maximizing the number of times inventory is renewed during a given period.
By managing operating costs, management believes ADC is better positioned to
compete with both smaller and larger competitors who offer less service than
ADC.

The increases in fuel prices across the United States are having a
significant impact on all distributors without any indications that fuel
prices will return to past levels.  Therefore, we expect that competition and
pressure on profit margins will continue to affect both large and small
distributors and demand that distributors continue to consolidate in order to
become more efficient.

Retail Health Food Segment
- --------------------------
The retail health food industry is experiencing an increase in sales and
gross profit driven primarily by the demand for natural products and more
health conscious consumers.  Our retail health food segment has benefitted
from this trend, experiencing sales growth in many product categories
including grocery and supplements.  Management continues to closely review
all store locations for opportunities to close or relocate marginally
performing stores, remodel and expand strong performing stores, and identify
locations for additional stores.

AMCON's retail health food stores are managed collectively through a main
office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  The Company strives to maintain the local
identity of each store while leveraging the operating synergies of
centralized management operations.

Beverage Segment
- ----------------
AMCON's beverage business consists of Hawaiian Natural Water Company, Inc.
("HNWC").  HNWC, which is headquartered in Pearl City, Hawaii, was formed in
1994 for the purpose of bottling, marketing and distributing Hawaiian natural
artesian water in Hawaii, the mainland and foreign markets.  HNWC's Hawaiian
Springs/R/ brand is the only bottled natural artesian water available from
Hawaii.  All other bottled waters produced in Hawaii contain purified water,
from which chemicals and minerals have been removed by means of reverse
osmosis filtration.

HNWC draws its Hawaiian Springs water from an artesian well located at the
base of the Mauna Loa mountain in Kea'au (near Hilo) on the big island of
Hawaii. The water is filtered and "bottled at the source" in polyethylene
terepthalate ("PET") plastic bottles, which are produced from pre-forms at
HNWC's bottling facility.  All of HNWC's retail PET products are bottled at
its facility in Kea'au, Hawaii.  These products consist of the Hawaiian
Springs natural artesian water line and various limited production co-
packaged products.

In addition to its premium water brands, HNWC also competes in the purified
water bottling niche.  We believe that competing in this market enables HNWC
to more effectively differentiate the premium natural artesian water from
purified bottled water products in the market place and provides a more
competitive price point in which to provide private label water to the island
of Oahu.

                                   31
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES

Changes in sales are driven by two primary components as follows:

      (i)  changes to selling prices largely controlled by the manufacturers
           of the products that we sell, 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 nine month periods ended June
2006 and June 2005 are as follows (dollars in millions):

/2/ During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company changed its reporting period from a 52-53 week
year ending on the last Friday in September to a calendar month reporting period ending on September 30.
As a result of this change, the first nine months of fiscal 2005 comprises 40 weeks of operations as
compared to 39 weeks of operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

</TABLE>

Three months ended June 2006 comparison
- ----------------------------------------
Sales for Q3 2006 increased 4.1%, or $8.8 million, compared to Q3 2005.
Sales are reported net of costs associated with sales incentives provided to
retailers, totaling $4.2 million and $4.0 million, for Q3 2006 and Q3 2005,
respectively.

The sales of cigarettes in the wholesale distribution segment increased by
$5.1 million and the sales of tobacco, confectionary and other products in
our wholesale distribution segment increased $3.0 million in Q3 2006 compared
to Q3 2005.  Of the increase in cigarette sales, $2.3 million related to
higher excise taxes imposed by certain states, $1.1 million related to a
price increase on certain brands of cigarettes in December 2005, and $1.7
million was attributable to a 1.6% increase in the volume of cigarette carton
sales.  Additionally, tobacco, confectionary and other product sales
increased $3.0 million primarily due to increased volumes in Q3 2006 compared
to Q3 2005.

                                   32



Sales from the retail health food segment increased $0.5 million during
Q3 2006 compared to Q3 2005.  This increase was primarily attributable to
volume growth in same store sales.  The retail health food segment has
experienced robust growth during fiscal 2006, largely, because of the general
upturn in the natural products industry combined with the Company's continued
marketing efforts.

The beverage segment accounted for $1.8 million in sales in Q3 2006 compared
to $1.6 million in Q3 2005.  The increase in sales was primarily the result
of efforts by HNWC's management to expand the market penetration of its
bottled water products and grow brand awareness.

Nine months ended June 2006 comparison
- --------------------------------------
Sales for the nine months ended June 2006 decreased to $621.0 million,
compared to $621.9 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Sales from the wholesale distribution segment decreased by $3.4 million for
the nine months ended June 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior
year.  Cigarette sales decreased $3.6 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2006 offset by a $0.2 million increase in the sales of tobacco,
confectionary and other products during the period.  Cigarette sales
benefitted approximately $4.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal
2006, as compared to the same period in the prior year, because of price
increases implemented by major cigarette manufacturers.  Additionally, $8.7
million of the increase in cigarette sales was attributable to higher excise
taxes imposed by certain states.

The above increases in cigarette sales were offset by a net decrease of $10.4
million resulting from a change in our monthly reporting period which added
an extra week of sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. Additionally,
there was a $6.4 million decrease in cigarette sales primarily attributable
to a 1.7% decrease in the volume of cigarette carton sales (excluding the
extra week of sales).

Of the increase in tobacco, confectionary and other products, $3.4 million
was attributable to increased volume compared to the same period in the prior
year, offset by a $3.2 million decrease in sales due to the net impact of the
change in our monthly reporting period which added an extra week of sales in
the first nine months of fiscal 2005.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2006, sales from the retail health
food segment increased by $1.9 million compared to the same period in 2005.
Of this increase, $2.3 million was attributable to volume growth in same
store sales.  This volume increase was partially offset by $0.4 million due
to the extra week of sales included in the first nine months of fiscal 2005,
which resulted from the Company's change in monthly reporting periods.  The
retail health food segment has experienced robust growth during the first
nine months of fiscal 2006 largely because of the general upturn in the
natural products industry combined with the Company's continued marketing
efforts.

The beverage segment accounted for $4.8 million in sales for first nine
months of fiscal 2006, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2005.
The increase in sales was primarily attributable to a $0.7 million increase
in bottled water sales at the Company's HNWC subsidiary offset by


                                   33
$0.1 million due to the extra week of sales included in the first nine months
of fiscal 2005, which resulted from the change in the Company's monthly
reporting period.

GROSS PROFIT

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 wholesale and
retail segments includes the cost of products purchased from manufacturers,
less incentives that we receive which are netted against such costs.  In the
beverage segment, cost of sales includes the cost of the raw materials and
related plant labor and manufacturing overhead costs required to convert raw
materials into finished goods (including labor, warehousing, depreciation and
utilities).

Gross profit by business segment for the three and nine month periods ended
June 2006 and June 2005 are as follows (dollars in millions):

/2/ During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company changed its reporting period from a 52-53 week
year ending on the last Friday in September to a calendar month reporting period ending on September 30.
As a result of this change, the first nine months of fiscal 2005 comprises 40 weeks of operations as
compared to 39 weeks of operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

</TABLE>

Three months ended June 2006 comparison
- ----------------------------------------
During Q3 2006, gross profit increased $0.6 million to $15.8 million compared
to $15.2 million in Q3 2005.  This represents a 3.9% increase in gross profit
compared to the same period in the prior year.  Gross profit as a percent of
sales decreased slightly to 7.05% in Q3 2006 compared to 7.06% in Q3 2005.

Gross profit from our wholesale distribution segment for Q3 2006 increased
$0.1 million compared to Q3 2005 primarily due to a smaller quarterly LIFO
charge of $0.1 million in Q3 2006 as compared to Q2 2005.

Gross profit for the retail health food segment increased $0.3 million in
Q3 2006 as compared to Q3 2005.  Of this increase, $0.2 million related to
improved management of inventory and throw-out costs and $0.1 million related
to a smaller LIFO charge in Q3 2006 compared to Q3 2005.



                               34

Gross profit for the beverage segment increased $0.2 million in Q3 2006
compared to Q3 2005.  This increase was primarily the result of higher sales
volumes and lower production costs.

Nine months ended June 2006 comparison
- --------------------------------------
For the nine months ended June 2006, gross profit decreased $0.3 million
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Gross profit as a
percent of sales increased slightly to 7.14% from 7.09% for the nine month
period ended June 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Gross profit from our wholesale distribution segment for the nine months
ended June 2006, decreased $1.0 million as compared to the same period in the
prior year.  Increasing gross profit during the first nine months of fiscal
2006 was a $1.0 million smaller LIFO charge as compared to the same period in
the prior year.  This increase was offset by a decrease of $0.4 million
related to a reduction in manufacturers' promotional allowances net of
payments made to our customers.  Additionally, $0.6 million of the decrease
resulted from the change in our monthly reporting period which added an extra
week of sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2005.  The remaining
decrease in gross profit of $1.0 million is primarily attributable to lower
sales volume and reduced gross margins realized on customer accounts because
of continued pricing pressures industry-wide.

Gross profit for the retail health food segment for the first nine months of
fiscal 2006 increased $0.9 million compared with the same period in fiscal
2005.  Of this increase, $0.2 million related to improved management of
inventory and throw-out costs, $0.2 million related to a smaller LIFO charge
in the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period in
2005 and $0.5 million related to the overall growth in sales volume (net of
the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2005).

Gross profit for the beverage segment increased $0.4 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.  This change
is primarily the result of additional sales volume and lower production
costs.

OPERATING EXPENSE - three and nine months ended June 2006 comparison

Operating expense includes selling, general and administrative expenses and
depreciation and amortization and impairment charges.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses include costs related to our sales, warehouse,
delivery and administrative departments for all segments. Specifically,
purchasing and receiving costs, inspection 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.








                                    35



In Q3 2006, operating expenses increased 2.48% or approximately $0.3 million,
as compared to Q3 2005.  This increase was primarily related to higher
transportation costs and professional fees incurred by our wholesale segment.

For the nine month period ended June 2006, total operating expenses increased
approximately $0.2 million or 0.62% as compared to the same period in 2005.
This was primarily the result of higher fuel, transportation and professional
costs incurred by our wholesale segment offset by lower lease, compensation
and professional expenses incurred by our retail segment.


INTEREST EXPENSE - three and nine months ended June 2006 comparison

Interest expense for Q3 2006 and for the nine months ended June 2006
increased $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to the
same periods in 2005.  This increase was primarily related to increases in
the prime interest rate, which is the rate at which the Company primarily
borrows under its amended credit facility, and an increase in the Company's
average variable rate borrowings.  On average, the Company's borrowing rates
on variable rate debt was 1.90% higher and the average borrowings on variable
rate debt was $0.9 million lower in Q3 2006 as compared to Q3 2005.  For the
nine months ended June 2006, interest rates were on average 1.97% higher and
the average borrowings on variable rate debt was $0.9 million higher as
compared to the same period in 2005.

OTHER - three and nine months ended June 2006 comparison

During the first nine months of 2006, the "Minority interest in loss, net of
tax", was $0.0 million compared to $0.1 million for the same period in the
prior year.  The 15% minority ownership interest in TSI has been reduced to
zero because of cumulative losses.  No future allocations of losses to
minority shareholders will be made by the Company.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - three and nine months ended June 2006 comparison

For the periods presented, discontinued operations consist of the Company's
former beverage marketing and distribution business, TBG, and TSI, the
former water bottling operation in Idaho.  In April 2006, the Company
concluded its disposal plan for TBG and accordingly has classified TBG's
Q3 2006 results of operations to continuing operations.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, discontinued operations
incurred a net loss, net of tax, of $0.2 million and $1.5 million,
respectively as compared to a net loss, net of tax, of $0.8 million and $3.1
million for the comparable periods in the prior year.

Losses incurred by discontinued operations decreased year-over-year
primarily because of charges incurred in the prior fiscal year to adjust
TBG's accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets to their net realizable
values.


                                   36






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
- ----------
Operating Activities.  The Company requires cash to pay its operating
expenses, purchase inventory and make capital investments and acquisitions of
businesses.  In general, the Company finances these cash needs from the cash
flow generated by its operating activities and from borrowings and preferred
stock issuances, as necessary.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2006
the Company used approximately $9.2 million of cash from operating
activities, primarily related to inventory purchases.  Our variability in
cash flows from operating activities is heavily dependent on the timing of
inventory purchases and seasonal fluctuations.  For example, in the
circumstance where we are "buying-in" to obtain favorable terms on particular
product or to maintain our LIFO layers, we may have to retain the inventory
for a period longer than the payment terms.  This generates cash outflow from
operating activities that we expect to reverse in a later period.
Additionally, during the warm weather months, which is our busiest time of
the year, we generally carry larger inventory back stock to ensure high fill
rates to maintain customer satisfaction.

Investing Activities. Cash of $0.6 million was utilized in investing
activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 for capital
expenditures.

Financing Activities.  The Company generated net cash of $9.4 million from
financing activities during the first nine months of 2006 primarily from
borrowing on the Company's revolving credit facility and the issuance of $2.0
million of preferred stock.  Cash of $0.7 million was used in financing
activities during the first nine months of 2006 to pay down long term debt
and bank credit agreements.  The Company also generated cash of $0.8 million
from long-term debt issued by TSI prior to its closure.  During the first
nine months of 2006, $0.3 million was used to pay dividends on preferred
stock.

Cash on Hand/Working Capital.  As of June 2006, the Company had cash on hand
of $0.1 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities)
of $36.6 million.  This compares to cash on hand of $0.5 million and working
capital of $30.6 million as of September 2005.

The Company's maximum revolving credit limit on the Facility was $54.2
million at June 30, 2006, however, the amount available for use at any given
time is subject to many factors including eligible accounts receivable and
inventory balances that are evaluated on a daily basis.  On June 30, 2006 the
balance on the revolving portion of the facility was $54.8 million.  Based on
our collateral and the loan limits, the Company was over the borrowing base
credit limit on the Facility by $0.3 million at June 30, 2006 but was under
the over-advance provision of $1.5 million provided by the Facility.  During
the nine months ended June 30, 2006 our peak borrowing was $54.6 million, our
average borrowings were $47.9 million and our average availability was $1.5
million.  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 the collateralized assets.

Additional Demands for Capital.  Funds generated from operations,
supplemented as necessary with funds available under the Facility, have


                                   37
historically provided sufficient liquidity for operation of the wholesale and
retail businesses.  The Company's beverage businesses, which included HNWC
and TSI (prior to the discontinuance of its operations on March 31, 2006)
have contributed significant operating losses.  These losses have consumed
significant cash resources and placed the Company in a restricted liquidity
situation.

However, during the first nine months of fiscal 2006, management took steps
to limit these operating losses and cash requirements going forward.
As previously discussed, the TSI bottled water business has been closed;
management is currently seeking to resolve pending litigation matters related
to TSI (see discussion of TSI litigation in Note 12 to the condensed
consolidated unaudited financial statements) to enable the ultimate sale of
that business.  Should the resolution of the TSI litigation require the
Company to fund certain of the TSI obligations, the Company may call upon the
guaranty of the Company's Chairman, Mr. William Wright.  The HNWC bottled
water business has been reorganized and operational improvements have been
made, including cost reductions and sales price increases.  HNWC is currently
operating without requiring additional cash investments by AMCON.  The
Company is also considering alternatives for the infusion of outside capital
and/or the possible sale of the HNWC business.  If successful, any proceeds
from the sale of those businesses would be utilized to reduce related debt
obligations and/or the Company's outstanding balance under the Facility.

The Company renegotiated and amended the Facility in January 2006, and all
prior covenants were replaced with monthly and cumulative year to date
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
covenants (excluding all the beverage operations) that are measured at the
end of each month and quarter, respectively.  The Company is in compliance
with all such covenants, and based on operating forecasts currently expects
to remain in compliance with such covenants with the possible exception of
the December 2006 and February 2007 monthly covenants.  Further, management
is in negotiations to execute an early renewal of the Facility agreement
under terms similar to those currently in place including certain financial
covenant modifications.  Although no assurances can be given, management
believes it will be successful in obtaining a renewal of the Facility
agreement including any financial covenant modifications.

Based on its operating forecasts and projected cash requirements, management
believes the Company has adequate cash resources to fund its operations and
capital expenditure needs as well to meet its debt obligations as they mature
through fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 with the extension of the maturity date
for the credit facility and its covenant modifications.

Contractual Obligations
- -----------------------
There have been no significant changes to the Company's contractual
obligations as set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal period ended September 30, 2005.

Credit Agreement
- -------------------
The Company's primary source of borrowing for liquidity purposes is its
revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank (the "Facility").  As of
June 2006, the outstanding balance on the Facility was $54.8 million,
including Term Note A and the portion of the revolver attributable to TSI.
The Facility, which was amended in October 2004, transferred $1.2 million of

                                   38
revolving debt to term debt and added the subsidiaries, except TSI, as
borrowers.  TSI was subsequently added as a borrower in April 2005.  The
Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to the bank's base rate,
which was 8.0% at June 2006.  The Facility restricted borrowings for
intercompany advances to TBG and TSI to $1.0 million in the aggregate and to
the retail health food subsidiaries and HNWC to $0.9 million in the aggregate
in fiscal 2005 and $0.1 million in the aggregate in subsequent years.

The amended Facility requires the Company to pay an unused commitment fee
equal to 0.25% per annum on the difference between the maximum loan limit and
average monthly borrowing for the month.  The Facility is collateralized by
all of the Company's equipment, intangibles, inventories, and accounts
receivable and expires in July 2007 (as amended in November 2006).

The Facility contains covenants (as amended in January 2006) that (i)
restrict permitted investments, (ii) restrict intercompany advances to
certain subsidiaries, (iii) restrict incurrence of additional debt, (iv)
restrict mergers and acquisitions and changes in business or conduct of
business and (v) requires that consolidated EBITDA (excluding TSI, HNWC and
The Beverage Group, Inc.) not be less than: (a) $100,000 as of the last day
of each month for the one-month period then ending, except for the month
ending February 28, 2006 which is permitted to be zero, (b) $1,100,000 as of
March 31, 2006 for the three-month period then ending, (c) $3,200,000 as of
June 30, 2006 for the six-month period then ending, and (d) $5,500,000 as of
September 30, 2006 for the ninth-month period then ending, and (e) $6,500,000
as of December 31, 2006 for the twelve-month period then ending.  The
Facility also provides that the Company may not pay dividends on its common
stock in excess of $0.72 per share on an annual basis.

The Company has a $5.0 million (face amount) Term Note B from LaSalle Bank,
which had an outstanding balance of $1.9 million at June 2006.  Term Note B
bears interest at the bank's base rate plus 2.00%, which was 10.00% at June
2006 and is required to be repaid in monthly installments of $0.1 million as
amended in January 2006.

The Company's Chairman personally guaranteed repayment of up to $10.0 million
of the combined amount of the Facility and the term loans.  The amount of the
guarantee at June 30, 2006 was $6.9 million.  AMCON will pay the Company's
Chairman an annual fee equal to 2% of the guaranteed principal in return for
the personal guarantee.  This guarantee is secured by a pledge of the shares
of Chamberlin's Natural Foods, Inc., Health Food Associates, Inc., HNWC and
TSI.

In November 2006 the Company and Lasalle Bank amended the Credit Facility to
extend the maturity date of the credit agreement to July 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 (the "M & I
Loans"), formerly Gold Bank, 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.

                                   39

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.

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

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate debt.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had $54.8 million of variable rate debt
outstanding with maturities through July 2007.  The interest rate on this
debt was 8.0% at June 2006.  We estimate that our annual cash flow exposure
relating to interest rate risk based on our current borrowings is
approximately $0.3 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) and 15d-15(e) under the 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 Exchange Act related 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 and 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 upon this
evaluation, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, the CEO
and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The Company's
management conducted a similar evaluation for each of the comparable periods
in fiscal 2005.  While the CEO and CFO had concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective at the time, they now conclude, as a
result of the material weaknesses described below, that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective, as of June 30, 2005.

As more fully described under Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of the
Company's Fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the
Company's September 30, 2005 year end audit the Company's discovered (i)
through a physical inventory count at its subsidiary, Hawaiian Natural Water
Co., Inc. ("HNWC"), that incorrect accounting entries had been made and (ii)

                                   40
that the Company had incorrectly allocated interest expense to one of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Beverage Group, Inc., that had ceased
operations on March 31, 2005.  The recording of such incorrect entries
represent material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

To mitigate the control weaknesses described below, the Company performed
additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in order to prepare the
condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Accordingly, our management believes that the condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present in all
material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash
flows for the periods presented.

A material weakness is a significant control deficiency, or combination of
significant control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management and the Company's
independent registered public accountants identified the following material
weaknesses:

     a) The Company did not maintain sufficient levels of appropriately
        qualified and trained personnel in the accounting office of HNWC,
        specifically as they related to the integration of new business
        operations and the application of certain aspects of inventory
        and manufacturing accounting;

     b) The Company did not maintain sufficient oversight and review of the
        disclosure controls and procedures of its subsidiaries during fiscal
        year 2005 to identify the material weaknesses in the internal
        control over financial reporting at HNWC in a timely manner; and

     c) The Company did not correctly apply the accounting guidance contained
        in certain Emerging Issues Task Force Applications ("EITF's")
        relating to the allocation of interest expense to the Company's
        discontinued operation (TBG).

Changes in our internal control over financial reporting were made during the
first three quarters of fiscal 2006 to correct the deficiencies noted above.
The following changes have materially affected or are reasonably likely to
affect our internal control over financial reporting:

     1) AMCON's corporate management terminated the employment of HNWC's then
        current President and Chief Financial Officer.

     2) AMCON's corporate management hired a new acting president and a
        qualified accounting consultant at HNWC to investigate the
        irregularities and guide internal accounting personnel in the
        application of generally accepted accounting principles related to
        inventory and production cost accounting.

     3) HNWC management hired additional accounting staff at HNWC with more
        experience.

     4) HNWC management is now reviewing all product cost summaries and
        all inventory cost changes as part of its ongoing internal controls.

                                   41
     5) AMCON's corporate management implemented procedures to ensure
        proper review and approval of all adjusting journal entries
        posted at HNWC, as well as, increasing monthly review of subsidiary
        financial statements as part of its ongoing internal controls.

     6) The Company has enhanced the training of our accounting staff and
        required periodic review of a wider variety of current technical
        accounting literature to obtain a reasonable level of assurance that
        all appropriate accounting guidance is applied to transactions such
        as discontinued operations and will retain financial expertise as
        deemed necessary.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

As previously disclosed in Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" in our 2005 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the Company is involved in litigation regarding TSI.
During the last several months, the parties to the TSI litigation have been
engaged in settlement discussions.  Recently, a settlement agreement was
reached between the parties.  The settlement resolved all disputes between
the shareholders plaintiffs, CPH, AMCON, TSI and the Defendant Directors,
with two exceptions that relate to AMCON.  The settlement did not resolve
claims that CPH may have against AMCON and TSI or that AMCON and TSI may have
against CPH.  The settlement also did not resolve the claims of a single
shareholder plaintiff, who declined to agree to the settlement.  On October
16, 2006, the Court approved the parties' settlement and ordered the
dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit, except for the claims of the single
shareholder plaintiff whose claims remain pending in the lawsuit and the
claims that may exist as between AMCON/TSI and CPH.
