Page 3 of 95 PART I Item 1. Description of Business General. Genesee Corporation (the "Corporation") was incorporated in 1932 under the laws of the State of New York. Until 1986, the Corporation was known as The Genesee Brewing Company, Inc. and was engaged solely in the production and sale of malt beverages. In 1986, the Corporation implemented a strategy to diversify its business operations beyond its traditional brewing business. The Corporation subsequently restructured to become a holding company, changed its name and expanded its business to include subsidiaries conducting dry food processing and packaging, equipment leasing and real estate investment. On October 19, 2000, the Corporation's shareholders approved a plan to liquidate and dissolve the Corporation. Pursuant to this plan, the Corporation has now liquidated all of its operating businesses and its real estate investments, as follows: On December 15, 2000, the Corporation sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its brewing business to High Falls Brewing Company, LLC ("High Falls") for $27.2 million, of which $16.2 million was paid in cash and $11.0 million by notes receivable from High Falls. At May 3, 2003, the amount remaining due the Corporation from High Falls is $4 million under a subordinated note receivable with an original face amount of $4.5 million. This note is currently in default as High Falls failed to make a $1 million principal payment to the Corporation on December 15, 2002. The Corporation is currently in discussions with High Falls regarding the restructuring of this remaining note in connection with the possible recapitalization of High Falls Brewing Company. For further information on the Corporation's estimate of this note's fair value see item 7. On December 28, 2000, the Corporation's equipment leasing subsidiary, Cheyenne Leasing Company ("Cheyenne") sold a significant portion of its lease portfolio for $15.3 million, generating net cash proceeds to the Corporation of $12.8 million. Cheyenne retained a small portion of its lease portfolio which it will continue to manage for the duration of the respective lease terms. As of July 11, 2003, there were approximately 10 leases remaining in Cheyenne's portfolio. On October 10, 2001, the Corporation sold all of the outstanding stock of its Ontario Foods, Incorporated, subsidiary, which constituted its Foods Division, to Associated Brands, Inc. ("ABI") for $27 million. Net of purchase price adjustments, the Corporation received $22.1 million in cash. The Corporation also took back a $2.25 million note and mortgage. The note and mortgage, together with $178,000 in cash paid by ABI, were placed in escrow for a period of eighteen months to cover any contingent liabilities or post-closing obligations of the Corporation. On April 5, 2002 ABI paid in full the $2.25 million note and mortgage with the proceeds being placed in the escrow account. On April 9, 2003 all but $25,000 of the escrow account, which was retained for claims presented by ABI against the escrow, was released to the Corporation. In May 2003, the escrow account was closed with $10,277 paid to ABI and the balance paid to the Corporation. On May 31, 2002, the Corporation sold its ten-percent interest in an office building in Rochester, New York and a related note receivable from the building owner for $2.4 million in cash. In connection with this transaction, the purchasers have agreed to indemnify the Corporation for any liability arising from the Corporation's guaranty of half of a $5.5 million senior subordinated loan on the building. Page 4 of 95 On September 16, 2002, the Corporation sold its 50% interests in a 408-unit apartment complex located in Syracuse, New York and a 150-unit apartment complex located in Rochester, New York for a combined sales price of $4.5 million. Under the plan of liquidation and dissolution, the Corporation has paid to Class A and Class B shareholders seven liquidating distributions totaling $62.8 million, or $37.50 per share. With the sale of the Foods Division, the Corporation adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective September 29, 2001. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted. Employees. As of May 3, 2003, the Corporation employed 3 people. Item 2. Properties None Item 3. Legal Proceedings None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2003. Page 5 of 95 PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters The Corporation's Class B Common Stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol GENBB. As of July 11, 2003, the number of holders of record of Class A (voting) Common Stock and Class B (non-voting) Common Stock were 87 and 810, respectively. There is no established public trading market for the Corporation's Class A stock, which has generally traded within the same range as Class B stock. The price for the Class B stock as reported by NASDAQ and the liquidating distributions paid per share on Class A and B stock for each quarter for the past two years are shown below:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This financial review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Effective September 29, 2001 the Corporation adopted the liquidation basis of accounting which is described in detail in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - MAY 3, 2003 Liquidating distributions have been paid to Class A and Class B shareholders under the Corporation's plan of liquidation and dissolution as follows:

Subject to amounts that the Corporation may hold to discharge obligations and potential contingent liabilities (see Contingent Liability Reserve Policy described below), the Corporation expects to pay additional liquidating distributions as the Corporation: (a) receives payment on the remaining promissory note described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements which accompany this report; (b) is allowed to reduce the financial assurance for its self-insured workers compensation liability described below; (c) reduces the amount of the Contingent Liability Reserve described below. The length of time that will be required to wind-up the Corporation's affairs is uncertain and will impact the value of the Corporation's net assets in liquidation due to the ongoing expense of operating the Corporation. While Management has targeted that the Corporation's plan of liquidation and dissolution will be completed by April 2004, there will be a further phase required to wind up its business, necessitated by certain assets and liabilities having a longer maturity or term. While the duration of this additional phase is unknown, there will be costs associated with it. The Corporation has estimated the present value of those costs at $300,000 and has recorded this amount in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at May 3, 2003. As a result of certain assets and liabilities having a maturity or term beyond April 2004, the Corporation currently expects that the net realizable value of certain assets will not be distributed to shareholders and certain of the Corporation's liabilities, including the workers compensation liability described below, will not be discharged by that date. All such assets and liabilities will be retained by the dissolved Corporation or transferred to a post-dissolution entity to be held for the benefit of the Corporation's shareholders and will be distributed to shareholders as the net realizable values of such retained assets become distributable after discharging any retained liabilities. Since it is unknown how long it will be before a final liquidating distribution is paid to shareholders, the present value of the net assets in liquidation per outstanding share could be less than is reported in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and the ultimate distributions to shareholders may differ materially from the Corporation's current estimate. Page 8 of 95 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) The Corporation's unrestricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents are invested in commercial bank money market funds to earn a market rate of return on those funds and give the Corporation the security and flexibility required as it completes the liquidation and dissolution process. These funds are currently yielding approximately 1.1% per annum. The Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") has adopted a Contingent Liability Reserve Policy whereby the Corporation will maintain a cash contingency reserve equal to $2.5 million, or $1.50 per outstanding share, for unexpected expenses of the Corporation. The amount of the reserve may be modified in the future by the Board as deemed necessary. The balance of this reserve is $2.5 million at May 3, 2003; however, it is not classified as restricted or as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Restricted cash represents cash which the Corporation is temporarily unable to access. During April 2003 the Corporation received $2.4 million upon the expiration of an escrow account established in connection with the sale of its Foods Division in October 2001. A balance of $25,000 remained in escrow at May 3, 2003 for claims presented by the buyer of the Foods Division against the escrow. These claims were resolved in May 2003 and the escrow account was closed with the proceeds distributed accordingly. As a result, the restricted cash reflected on the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation was reduced accordingly. Restricted cash in the amount of $3.2 million is being held in a money-market account with a commercial bank as collateral for a standby letter of credit issued by the bank to provide statutorily required financial assurance for the Corporation's self-insured workers compensation liability. The Corporation is required by the New York Workers Compensation Board (the "Compensation Board") to maintain the $3.2 million standby letter of credit, which is in effect through August 2003. The Corporation expects to renew this letter of credit or obtain a replacement standby letter of credit in a like amount from another commercial bank if the current letter of credit is not renewed. The issuing bank required the Corporation to collateralize the letter of credit by maintaining a cash balance of $3.2 million in a money-market account with the bank. Despite a $1.5 million actuarial valuation of the Corporation's workers compensation liability as of May 3, 2003 and the Corporation's expectation that the actuarial valuation of its workers compensation liability will decline over time as claims are paid, the Compensation Board will not review the $3.2 million financial security requirement until at least December 2003 and it is not currently known whether the Compensation Board will adjust the financial security requirement to an amount more consistent with the actuarial valuation of workers compensation liability. It is management's current expectation that the Compensation Board will require the Corporation to maintain some amount of financial assurance for the actuarially determined duration of the self-insured workers compensation liability, which is currently estimated to be twenty to twenty-five years, and any such amount will not be available for distribution to shareholders until the Corporation is relieved of its financial assurance obligation. The Corporation's marketable securities consist of a bond portfolio managed by an investment management firm. This portfolio had a fair market value of $3,010,000 at May 3, 2003. The investments in this portfolio include $311,000 in U.S. government agency bonds with the balance of $2,699,000 invested in corporate bonds. The portfolio at May 3, 2003 has a Moody's dollar weighted average rating of A1. The portfolio currently has a weighted average duration of approximately 1.22 years. The current weighted average yield to maturity is approximately 1.91%. Page 9 of 95 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) During fiscal 2003, the Corporation received $6.1 million in principal payments from High Falls in full satisfaction of two High Falls bridge notes described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The remaining $4 million note receivable from High Falls bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum; however, interest is currently accruing at the default rate of 14% per annum as a result of the default by High Falls on the December 15, 2002 $1 million principal payment. Interest is payable quarterly. The $4 million balance is payable as follows: $1 million was due on December 15, 2002 and $3 million is due on December 15, 2003. As mentioned above, High Falls did not make the $1 million principal payment due on December 15, 2002. As a result of this default, the Corporation is currently in discussions with High Falls regarding the restructuring of this remaining note in connection with the possible recapitalization of High Falls Brewing Company. The December 15, 2003 principal payment can be extended by High Falls to December 15, 2005 if High Falls does not achieve 2.5 million barrels of contract brewing volume as measured from December 15, 2000 through December 15, 2003. High Falls, which is required to certify its contract brewing volume annually, has certified to the Corporation that as of December 31, 2002, it has achieved 2,153,946 barrels of contract brewing volume since December 15, 2000. The $4 million note is subordinate to High Falls' senior bank debt and mezzanine financing. Under the terms of the senior debt agreements, in the event of a default by High Falls, the senior lenders could declare a standstill, which would prevent the Corporation from receiving principal and interest payments and enforcing its rights against collateral pledged by High Falls to secure the $4 million note. If the senior lenders were to declare a standstill, payments to the Corporation and the Corporation's rights against collateral pledged to secure the note could be suspended indefinitely. The terms of the High Falls seller financing are detailed in exhibits to the Corporation's report on Form 8-K filed on January 2, 2001. During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Corporation adjusted the value of the High Falls note on its Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to $2.8 million to reflect management's current estimate of the value of the note, which is based on the fair market value of publicly traded debt instruments of similar quality. At May 3, 2003, the fair value of this note receivable remains at $2.8 million. This adjustment had no effect on the estimated income tax payable amount presented in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Investment in and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships decreased by $6,351,000 to $0 at fiscal year end. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Corporation received $2.4 million in proceeds from the sale of its ten percent interest in, and note receivable from, Clinton Square, which is described in Note 7 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This receipt of funds reduced the investment in and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships line item in the Statement of Net Assets accordingly. In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Corporation sold its two real estate investments that are described in Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for $4.5 million. As a result of obtaining this $4.5 million sales price, the value of these real estate investments was increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 by approximately $500,000, pre-tax. This receipt of funds reduced the investment in and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships line item in the Statement of Net Assets accordingly. Also, as a result of these sales the estimated income tax receivable line item in the Statement of Net Assets was decreased by $200,000. Other assets decreased during fiscal 2003 primarily as a result of prepaid insurance amortization, the receipt of $168,000 in insurance refunds, and the collection of $167,000 from certain officers on outstanding loans, which have now been completely repaid. Page 10 of 95 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Combined accrued compensation and accrued expenses and other liabilities as presented in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation decreased from its April 27, 2002 balance by $867,000. This decrease is a result of the payment of compensation related costs and operating costs of approximately $2.0 million and an increase in the run-out and additional winding-up phase accruals in the second, third and fourth quarters by $450,000, $200,000 and $539,000 respectively. During fiscal 2003, the estimated net income tax receivable of $994,000 at April 27, 2002 became an estimated net income tax payable of $4.7 million at fiscal year end. This change from asset to liability resulted from approximately $5.5 million of tax refunds being received by the Corporation during the year and from the $200,000 reduction related to the real estate investment sales noted above. The $4.7 million net income tax payable is an estimation of the accumulation of the payments and refunds expected in the future and reflect the estimated impact on cash flow under an orderly liquidation scenario. The accrued self-insured workers compensation liability decreased by $107,000 during fiscal 2003 as a result of regular and expected payments on claims of $357,000 and a $250,000 increase in the liability as a result of an independent actuarial valuation prepared at fiscal year end. SUMMARY OF CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - GOING CONCERN BASIS As a result of the sale of the Corporation's Foods Division in October 2001 (which is described in Item 1 and in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements which accompany this report), the operations of the Foods Division have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented leaving only corporate expenses and investment related income in continuing operations. Comparison of 22 weeks ended September 29, 2001 to 52 weeks ended April 28, 2001 On a consolidated basis, the Corporation reported net earnings from continuing operations of $142,000, or $.08 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.1 million, or $.69 basic and diluted loss per share, for fiscal 2001. The increase in net earnings from continuing operations for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 is primarily attributable to $1.4 million in compensation expense related to the exercise of stock options during fiscal 2001. Also, corporate expenses for the current period were less since it covers only twenty-two weeks whereas the comparative period covers a full year. The Corporation reported a net loss from discontinued operations of $22.5 million, or $13.43 basic and diluted loss per share, for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $1.3 million, or $.79 basic and diluted loss per share, for fiscal 2001. This unfavorable variance is primarily related to the $21.8 million Foods Division impairment charge that was reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and the loss on the sale of the Foods Division reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Page 11 of 95 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" which, among other technical amendments, no longer requires financial statement presentations to include gains and losses from the early extinguishment as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. As a result of implementing SFAS No. 145, the loss on early extinguishment of debt that was previously classified as extraordinary has been reclassified and included as a component of discontinued operations.

Page 14 of 95 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Stockholders of Genesee Corporation We have audited the statements of net assets in liquidation of Genesee Corporation as of May 3, 2003 and April 27, 2002, and the related statements of changes in net assets in liquidation for the year ended May 3, 2003 and the period from September 30, 2001 to April 27, 2002. In addition, we have audited the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from April 29, 2001 to September 29, 2001 and the year ended April 28, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As more fully described in Note 1, the Corporation is currently being liquidated. As a result, the Corporation has changed its basis of accounting for periods subsequent to September 29, 2001 from the going-concern basis to a liquidation basis. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets in liquidation of Genesee Corporation as of May 3, 2003 and April 27, 2002, the changes in its net assets in liquidation for the year ended May 3, 2003 and the period from September 30, 2001 to April 27, 2002, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 29, 2001 to September 29, 2001 and the year ended April 28, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on the bases described in the preceding paragraph. As described in Note 1, the financial statements for periods subsequent to September 29, 2001 have been prepared on the liquidation basis of accounting, which requires management to make significant assumptions and estimates regarding the fair value of assets and the estimate of liquidating costs to be incurred. Because of the inherent uncertainty related to these estimates and assumptions, there will likely be differences between these estimates and the actual results and those differences may be material. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Rochester, New York June 11, 2003 Page 15 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Statement Of Net Assets In Liquidation (Liquidation Basis) May 3, 2003 and April 27, 2002 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. Page 20 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements May 3, 2003, April 27, 2002, September 29, 2001 and April 28, 2001 (1) Liquidation Basis Note LIQUIDATION BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS With the sale of its Foods Division, which is described Note 7, Genesee Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective September 29, 2001. Upon adopting the liquidation basis of accounting, adjustments were made to the Corporation's recorded assets and liabilities, details of which are included below. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted. A Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Changes in Net Assets are the two financial statements presented under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The valuation of assets at their net realizable value and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amounts necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions. In addition, there are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with carrying out the liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation. The valuations presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable values of assets and the costs associated with carrying out the plan of liquidation and dissolution based on the assumptions set forth below. The actual values and costs are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein and could be greater or lesser than the amounts recorded. In particular, the estimates of the Corporation's costs will vary with the length of time it operates. In addition, the estimate of net assets in liquidation per share presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation generally does not incorporate a present value discount to reflect the amount of time that will transpire before the value of those assets is distributed to shareholders. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the aggregate amount that will ultimately be distributable to shareholders and no assurance can be given that the amount to be received in liquidation will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation per share presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or the price or prices at which the Corporation's common stock has traded or is expected to trade in the future. Adjustments from Going-Concern to Liquidation Basis of Accounting (Dollars in Thousands): Shareholders' Equity at September 29, 2001 ( Going-Concern Basis) $ 47,159 To adjust assets to net realizable values 2,001 To adjust liabilities to anticipated settlement amounts 9,926 Net Assets in Liquidation at September 29, 2001 (Liquidation Basis) $ 59,086

Page 21 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) Assumptions used when converting to the Liquidation Basis of Accounting at September 29, 2001 Management estimated that the aggregate fair value of the Corporation's investment in and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships exceeded cost by approximately $500,000 and that the estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment exceeded cost by approximately $30,000. Management also estimated that the fair value of income taxes receivable was approximately $1.1 million greater than the net amount of tax accounts previously included on the Corporation's September 29, 2001 balance sheet under going-concern accounting. This increase is predominantly attributable to the realization of tax credits resulting from the decision to liquidate the Corporation. These amounts are included in the $2 million adjustment to net realizable values shown above, the difference being $411,000 of officer loans reclassified from shareholders' equity to assets for purposes of liquidation basis accounting and reporting. Management estimated that the Corporation would spend approximately $2 million in operating costs through final dissolution. This amount was accrued at September 29, 2001 in accordance with liquidation accounting and is reflected in the $9.9 million adjustment to anticipated settlement amounts shown above, which is net of the $11.9 million deferred gain on the sale of the brewing business that no longer exists under liquidation accounting. General assumptions used and asset and liability values under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting Following are assumptions utilized by management in assessing the fair value of assets and the expected settlement values of liabilities included in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of May 3, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents - Presented at face value. The Corporation considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Corporation maintains balances in various operating and money market accounts in excess of federally insured limits. At May 3, 2003, substantially all cash balances were in excess of federally insured limits. The Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") has adopted a Contingent Liability Reserve Policy whereby the Corporation will maintain a cash contingency reserve equal to $2.5 million, or $1.50 per outstanding share, for unexpected expenses of the Corporation. The amount of the reserve may be modified in the future by the Board as deemed necessary. The balance of this reserve is $2.5 million at May 3, 2003; however, it is not classified as restricted or as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Page 22 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) Marketable securities available for sale - Presented at quoted market prices. The Corporation maintains a portfolio that consists predominantly of high quality corporate bonds which is managed by an independent third party investment manager. Valuation of the Corporation's marketable securities is based upon closing prices of their marketable securities, as provided by the investment manager, at May 3, 2003. The fair value of the Corporation's portfolio can be summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): Fixed Income Securities Debt securities issued by the U.S. Government $ 311 Corporate debt Securities 2,460 ------- 2,771 Other 239 ------- Marketable Securities $ 3,010 -------

The fair value of fixed income securities, by contractual maturity, are as follows (dollars in thousands): Contractual maturity Less than one year $ 673 After one year, but within five years 2,049 After five years 49 ------- Total fixed income securities $ 2,771 -------

Notes receivable - Stated at fair value, which has been discounted from face value as described below. As partial consideration for the sale of its brewing business, the Corporation received $11 million in notes receivable from High Falls. On July 30, 2002 the Corporation received $5.9 million in satisfaction of the remaining principal balance due on two bridge notes with original face amounts of $3.5 million and $3 million. This prepayment was in accordance with the terms of the notes, which required prepayment at such time as the buyer received proceeds from government backed loans. At May 3, 2003, the amount remaining due to the Corporation from High Falls is $4 million under a subordinated note receivable with an original face amount of $4.5 million. The $4 million balance is payable as follows: $1 million was due on December 15, 2002 and $3 million is due on December 15, 2003. High Falls did not make the $1 million principal payment due on December 15, 2002 and is currently in default under the terms of the remaining High Falls note. The Corporation is currently in discussions with High Falls regarding the restructuring of this remaining note in connection with the possible recapitalization of High Falls Brewing Company. The Corporation has adjusted the value of the remaining balance of the High Falls note on the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to $2.8 million to reflect management's current estimate of the value of the note, which is based on the fair market value of publicly traded debt instruments of similar quality. Investment in direct financing and leveraged leases - Presented at the present value of future lease payments of leases under renewal and the fair value of all equipment under renewed and month-to-month leases. Page 23 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) Other assets - Valued based on management estimates. At May 3, 2003 the $346,000 balance is primarily comprised of prepaid insurance and a note receivable from a former customer of the Genesee Brewing Company, Inc., that the Corporation retained after the sale of the brewery to High Falls in December 2000. Accrued compensation, accrued expenses, and other liabilities - Based on management's estimate. These are the estimated costs to complete the Corporation's plan of liquidation and dissolution, and represents the estimated cash costs of operating the Corporation through its expected termination date which is April 2004 and for an additional wind-up phase after April 2004. These costs, which include personnel, facilities, professional fees, and other related costs, are estimated based on various assumptions regarding the number of employees, the use of outside professionals (including attorneys and accountants) and other costs. Given that there is inherent uncertainty in the estimation process, actual results could be materially different. The table below details these costs by category as of May 3, 2003 and April 27, 2002.

Liquidating Distribution Payable - Exists when the Corporation has declared a partial liquidating distribution prior to the date of the statement of net assets in liquidation with such distribution to be paid subsequent to the statement date. This amount is calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding Class A and Class B shares by the declared dollar per share amount. Estimated income tax payable - Based on management's estimate. Amount reflects the impact on cash flow under an orderly liquidation scenario. It is comprised of current taxes on current year income, adjusting for estimates for future expenditures, the utilization of tax credits, carryforwards and carrybacks. Certain amounts included in the estimated income tax payable are subject to audit by both state and federal taxing authorities. The Corporation has requested accelerated audits from both state and federal taxing authorities for the tax years ending April 27, 2002, April 28, 2001, and April 29, 2000. The net payable is an estimation of the accumulation of the payments expected in the future. Because tax returns are filed utilizing estimates and management's reasonable interpretation of applicable rules, the actual results after a tax audit can be different from amounts initially filed. Based upon all known facts, Page 24 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) management has made an estimation of the range of probable outcomes after the audits referred to above have been completed. The tax payable on the Statement of Net Assets is management's estimate of the most probable point within the range. Such estimations are often updated as additional information becomes available. Due to the numerous significant business dispositions that occurred during the years which are to be audited, management believes it is probable that the results of the aforementioned audits may increase or decrease the amount of estimated income tax payable recorded in the Statement of Net Assets by up to approximately $400,000. The Corporation may also incur additional professional fees as a result of these audits. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the then estimated income tax receivable was reduced by $200,000 related to the Corporation's sale of its investment in the two apartment complexes mentioned in Note 7. The following table depicts the receivable and payable components of the estimated net income tax payable and receivable as of May 3, 2003 and April 27, 2002, respectively, reported on the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation.

Accrued self-insured workers compensation - Based on an independent actuarial valuation. The Corporation's brewing and foods businesses were self-insured for workers compensation claims and the Corporation retained this liability after those businesses were sold. Contingent liabilities - As with any operating business, the Corporation may have potential contingent liabilities in addition to the liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Because no claims for contingent liabilities have been made or threatened, no amount has been recorded for such liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Net assets in liquidation per outstanding share, which is reported in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation, is calculated by dividing net assets in liquidation by the combined total of Class A and Class B shares outstanding at May 3, 2003. Changes to asset and liability values under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting from April 27, 2002 to May 3, 2003. Page 25 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the value of the High Falls note receivable was reduced by $1.2 million to $2.8 million. See explanation above in this note. The value of the Corporation's investment in and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships was increased by approximately $500,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 based on a negotiated sales price of the Corporation's investment in two apartment complexes that were subsequently sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 for $4.5 million. The Corporation's estimate of remaining operating costs through final dissolution, compensation and other accrued expenses, was increased by $450,000, $200,000, and $539,000 in the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003, respectively. As of May 3, 2003, the Corporation has $1,399,000 recorded for these run-out costs. $525,000 is allocated to compensation-type costs while the remaining $874,000 covers all other general and administrative costs such as professional fees, office related costs, insurance expense, and other miscellaneous costs expected to be incurred during the run-out period, which is targeted to be April 2004, plus an additional phase of unknown term to wind up the Corporation's business. The Corporation's cash operating expenses, which reduced the run-out accrual discussed above from April 27, 2002 through May 3, 2003, were as follows: Compensation and related costs $ 804,000 Office expenses including rent 71,000 Insurance and workers compensation State assessment expense 382,000 New York Sales tax and related expense 413,000 Professional Fees 350,000 Other 36,000 ----------- $ 2,056,000 ===========

The accrued self-insured workers compensation liability was increased during the fourth quarter by $250,000 based on an independent actuarial valuation of open claims. Changes to asset and liability values under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting from September 29, 2001 to April 27, 2002. The value of the Corporation's investment in and notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships was increased by $250,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 based on an updated independent appraisal and management's estimate. This line item was further increased by Page 26 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) $290,000 in the fourth quarter based on the sales price realized in May 2002 on the sale of the Corporation's 10% investment in entities that own an office building in downtown Rochester, New York and a related note receivable. The value of the Corporation's investment in a food service equipment and supplies business was reduced by $355,000 to $0 in the last half of fiscal 2002. This investment had previously been included in other assets in the statement of net assets in liquidation. The Corporation's estimate of remaining operating costs through final dissolution was increased by $900,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. As of April 27, 2002, the Corporation has approximately $2.0 million recorded for these run-out costs. $1.2 million is allocated to compensation-type costs while the remaining $800,000 covers all other general and administrative costs such as professional fees, office related costs, insurance expense, and other miscellaneous costs expected to be incurred during the run-out period. The Corporation's cash operating expenses, which reduced the run-out accrual discussed above from September 29, 2001 through April 27, 2002, were as follows: Compensation and related costs $ 780,000 Office expenses including rent 38,000 Insurance expense 115,000 Professional Fees 243,000 Other 33,000 ----------- $ 1,209,000 ===========

Page 27 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Liquidation Basis Note (continued) Fiscal Year The Corporation's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to April 30. The fiscal year for the financial statements included herein is for the 53 week and 52 week periods ending May 3, 2003 and April 27, 2002, respectively. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Going-Concern Basis GOING-CONCERN BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Prior to September 29, 2001, the date at which the liquidation basis of accounting was adopted, the Corporation followed the going-concern basis of accounting. Following are notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared under the going-concern basis of accounting. The going-concern basis financial statements consist of the Consolidated Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 and the year ended April 28, 2001, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 and the year ended April 28, 2001, and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 and the year ended April 28, 2001. Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation include for continuing operations, the Corporation's corporate segment. The corporate segment retains the Corporation's cash, investments in marketable securities, and significant notes receivable, which in turn generates investment income which is then used in support of corporate costs. (See Note 7 for information related to the Corporation's discontinued segments.) All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" which, among other technical amendments, no longer requires financial statement presentations to include gains and losses from the early extinguishment as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. As a result of implementing SFAS No. 145, the loss on early extinguishment of debt that was previously classified as extraordinary has been reclassified and included as a component of discontinued operations. Page 28 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Going Concern Basis (continued) Comprehensive Loss The Corporation reports comprehensive income or loss in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, losses, and other comprehensive income) in a set of financial statements in order to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise. Other comprehensive income or loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and, losses that are included in comprehensive income or loss but excluded from net earnings or loss. The amount of income tax expense allocated to other comprehensive income for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 and fiscal 2001 was approximately $105,000 and $118,000, respectively. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based upon pre-tax earnings, with deferred income taxes arising from the permanent and temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Corporation's assets and liabilities. Stock-Based Compensation The Corporation measures compensation cost for its stock-based compensation plans under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," disclosure of compensation costs on the basis of fair value is presented in Note 10 - Stock Option and Bonus Plans. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Earnings Per Share The Corporation presents basic earnings per share, which is computed by dividing the income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share, which reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At September 29, 2001 and at April 28, 2001, 9,500 and 27,500 shares of potential common stock, respectively, are considered anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Page 29 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Going Concern Basis (continued) Reclassifications It is the Corporation's policy to reclassify certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

(4) Segment Reporting - Going Concern Basis As stated in Note 2, the Corporation's corporate segment is the only reporting segment for continuing operations. The corporate segment retains the Corporation's investments in marketable securities, significant notes receivable, generating investment income as well as supporting corporate costs. (See Note 7 for information related to the Corporation's discontinued segments.) (5) Supplemental Cash Flow Information - Going Concern Basis Cash (refunded) paid for taxes was approximately $(11,000) and $ 8,894,000 for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 and fiscal 2001, respectively; cash paid for interest was approximately $134,000 and $422,000 for the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 and fiscal 2001, respectively. No interest was capitalized during the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 or in fiscal 2001. (6) Stock Option and Bonus Plans - Going Concern Basis Under the Corporation's 1992 Stock Plan, as amended (the "Stock Plan"), officers and other key employees may, at the discretion of the Management Continuity Committee of the Board of Directors, be granted options that allow for the purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A and Class B common stock. These options may be exercised any time from the award date to a specified date not more than ten years from the award date or five years in the case of 10% or more shareholders. Under the Stock Plan, outside directors are granted options to purchase shares of Class B common stock. Outside director options may be exercised at any time from the option award date until five years after the award date. Page 31 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (6) Stock Option and Bonus Plans - Going Concern Basis (continued) The Corporation has adopted a Stock Bonus Incentive Program under the Stock Plan (the "Bonus Program"). The Bonus Program authorizes the Board of Directors to award shares of Class B common stock to officers and other key employees. These shares are issued from treasury shares in five equal annual installments commencing in the year in which the award takes place. Changes in stock options are as follows:

Common stock reserved for options and employee awards totaled 9,500 and 27,500 shares as of September 29, 2001 and April 28, 2001, respectively. The Corporation adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, and continues to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 for plan accounting. If compensation cost for the Corporation's stock-based plans had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2001 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below. During the twenty-two weeks ended September 29, 2001 no options were granted; therefore there is no related disclosure for this twenty-two week period.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Page 32 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (6) Stock Option and Bonus Plans - Going Concern Basis (continued) For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected option term of 5 years, expected volatility of 39.3% in fiscal 2001, expected dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 5.69% in fiscal 2001. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted was $16.64 in fiscal 2001. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 29, 2001:

(7) Divestiture of the Corporation's Operating Businesses - Discontinued Operations/Going Concern Basis In October 2000, the Corporation's shareholders approved a plan to liquidate and dissolve the Corporation. The Corporation is liquidating by selling or otherwise disposing of its assets and winding up its affairs. The proceeds from the liquidation, net of amounts paid or reserved to discharge all of the Corporation's obligations and liabilities, is being distributed to the Corporation's shareholders in a series of liquidating distributions, after which the Corporation will be dissolved. The Corporation sold its brewing business in December 2000 to High Falls Brewing Company, LLC ("High Falls") for $27.2 million. The Corporation received $11 million of the sale price in the form of notes receivable more fully described in Note 1. The Corporation sold a significant portion of its equipment lease portfolio in December 2000 and received $12.8 million in proceeds. The Corporation retained a small portion of its lease portfolio which it continues to manage. On October 10, 2001, the Corporation sold all of the outstanding stock of its Foods Division to Associated Brands, Inc. ("ABI") for $27 million. The sale was completed in accordance with the terms of a Purchase Agreement. Net of closing date adjustments, the Corporation received $22.1 million in cash at closing. In addition, a $2.25 million note and mortgage and $178,000 in cash were received by the Corporation and placed in escrow for eighteen months. The mortgage note has since been paid and the $2.4 million cash escrow has been released except for $25,000 which remains in the escrow account for claims presented by ABI. These minor final claims have been settled with the remaining account balance distributed accordingly. Page 33 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (7) Divestiture of the Corporation's Operating Businesses - Discontinued Operations/Going Concern Basis (continued) On May 31, 2002, the Corporation sold its ten-percent interest in an office building in Rochester, New York and a related note receivable from the building owner for $2.4 million in cash. In connection with this transaction, the purchasers have agreed to indemnify the Corporation for any liability arising from the Corporation's guaranty of half of a $5.5 million senior subordinated loan on the building. On September 16, 2002, the Corporation sold its 50% interests in a 408-unit apartment complex located in Syracuse, New York and a 150-unit apartment complex located in Rochester, New York for a combined sales price of $4.5 million. With the sale of its interest in the apartment complexes mentioned above, the Corporation completed the liquidation phase of its plan of liquidation and dissolution. Page 34 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (7) Divestiture of the Corporation's Operating Businesses - Discontinued Operations/Going Concern Basis (continued) The results of operations for the discontinued brewing, foods, equipment leasing and real estate investment businesses were as follows:

Page 35 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (7) Divestiture of the Corporation's Operating Businesses - Discontinued Operations/Going Concern Basis (continued) The Corporation's previous investment in a real estate limited partnership in which it has less than a majority interest was accounted for by the equity method. The Corporation's proportionate share of the results of operations of this unconsolidated limited partnership was recorded net of tax in discontinued operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue from the Corporation's lease portfolio is recognized on a level yield method. Concentration of Credit Risk The Corporation's lease receivable balances are from a diversity of lessees in various industries and businesses. This diversity, in addition to security interests in the leased equipment, allows the Corporation to minimize its credit risk on lease receivables. Substantially all of the accounts receivable balances are from food retailers. Property, Plant and Equipment The Corporation regularly assesses all of its long-lived assets for impairment and recognizes a loss when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its expected future cash flows. The Corporation determined that no impairment loss needed to be recognized for applicable assets in fiscal 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Corporation recorded a $21.8 million impairment charge related to the Foods Division. This charge is included as a part of the first quarter's operating loss with an equivalent reduction in goodwill. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis ranging from 3 to 25 years. The carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles are assessed periodically based on the expected future cash flows of the assets associated with the goodwill and other intangibles. As noted above, goodwill was reduced by $21.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 related to an impairment charge. Leasing Activities The Corporation's leasing activity is conducted by Cheyenne Leasing Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesee Ventures, Inc. On October 31, 2000, Genesee Ventures, Inc. bought out the 15% minority interest in Cheyenne Leasing Company from its joint venture partner to obtain this wholly owned status. Page 36 of 95 GENESEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (7) Divestiture of the Corporation's Operating Businesses - Discontinued Operations/Going Concern Basis (continued) Postretirement Benefits The Corporation previously provided certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees and spouses under a welfare benefit plan (the Plan) covering substantially all retirees and employees of Genesee Brewing Company. Effective with the sale of its brewing business on December 15, 2000, the Corporation was relieved of its liability and responsibility for these postretirement benefits. However, the Corporation implemented a phase-out plan whereby retiree postretirement benefits continued at decreasing levels through the end of calendar 2001 at which time benefits were discontinued. Even though the Corporation's health insurance premium subsidy concluded at December 31, 2001, the Corporation continues to administer the retiree group's health insurance arrangement. This administrative support is scheduled to cease on December 31, 2003. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None.
