Harrison, Vickers & Waterman, Inc. announces results for the 13 weeks ended March 25, 2018

NEW YORK, April 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Harrison, Vickers & Waterman, Inc. (OTC PINK: HVCW, also referred to as the "Company") announced results for its operating subsidiary, Attitude Beer Holding Company, for the thirteen weeks ended March 25, 2018 versus the three months ended March 31, 2017.  The Company is pleased to announce positive cash flow from operations due to increased revenues of over $1m dollars, stringent cost control and the benefits of our new operating partnership. Results exclude operations of its Milford location which was in existence for the prior period.

On December 27, 2017, the Company announced a new operating partnership with its corporate parent, World of Beer, whereby they assumed the daily operation of the taverns. In addition to improving efficiencies and top line sales, the Company has benefited greatly from the elimination of certain management fees and other costs that were incurred under the prior arrangement.

Jeff Canouse, Chief Executive of the Company, said, "It didn't take long to realize the benefits of our new partnership. This is a very exciting time for our business and the World of Beer brand and we're looking forward to increasing business at our taverns and expanding further where profitable opportunities present themselves.

Mr. Canouse continued, "In an effort to update our shareholders more regularly, we've established a Twitter account for notifications and updates on our taverns and corporate dates. I'd like invite all of our shareholders to follow us at https://twitter.com/attitudebrands."

The change in revenues was due to increased food sales of $26,929 offset by reduced spirit sales of $12,525.

Gross margin percentage decreased 200 basis points due to a shift in the product mix towards food, which is lower margin.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased by 400 basis points due to the elimination of certain management fees and other costs which needed to be paid under our prior operating structure and tightened cost controls in tavern management.

As a result of the foregoing changes, operating cash flow was positive in the current period.

The Company plans on being timely for its fiscal third quarter filing.
