Item 1.	Security and Issuer.
	This first amended statement on Schedule 13D/A (the “Amendment”) amends the
statement on Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 10, 2006 (the “Statement”) on behalf of Draupnir, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Draupnir”), Draupnir Capital, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Draupnir
(“DCL”), The Lifeboat Foundation, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation
(“Lifeboat”) and Allen D. Petersen (each a “Reporting Person” and collectively,
the “Reporting Persons”). The Reporting Persons filed the Statement
in order disclose their agreement to cooperate with one another with respect to
certain decisions relating to the affairs of AMCON Distributing Company, a
Delaware corporation (“AMCON”). The Statement is incorporated by reference
herein.
Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction.
	This Amendment is being filed to reinstate the Statement that was filed on
behalf of the Reporting Persons on March 10, 2006. As disclosed by the
Statement, as a result of certain provisions set forth in the Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of March 3, 2006, by and between DCL and AMCON (the
“Agreement”), the Reporting Persons agreed to collaborate with one another with
respect to the operations of AMCON. Subsequent to the filing of the Statement,
the Reporting Persons entered into an informal agreement with Jeremy W. Hobbs
(“Mr. Hobbs”), William F. Wright (“Mr. Wright”) and Christopher H. Atayan (“Mr.
Atayan”), whereby the Reporting Persons, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Wright and Mr. Atayan
agreed to cooperate with one another regarding certain decisions (investment,
management or otherwise) in connection with AMCON. The Reporting Persons, Mr.
Hobbs, Mr. Wright and Mr. Atayan disclosed their status a group within the
meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
(the “Exchange Act”) by filing a statement on Schedule 13D on March 31, 2006
(the “March 31 Statement”). The March 31 Statement amended and updated the
Statement.
	Since the filing of the March 31 Statement, the informal agreement between the
Reporting Persons, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Wright and Mr. Atayan has been terminated.
Accordingly, simultaneously with the filing of this Amendment, the March 31
Statement will be amended to disclose the termination of the group described in
the March 31 Statement. This Amendment serves to (i) confirm that the
information set forth in the March 31 Statement with respect to the Reporting
Persons has been nullified and is no longer effective, (ii) reaffirm that the
Statement, as filed on March 10, 2006, as amended by this Amendment, accurately
reflects the relationship between the Reporting Persons and the number of shares
beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and (iii) confirm the accuracy of
the Statement filed on March 10, 2006 on behalf of the Reporting Persons, as
amended by this Amendment. Each paragraph set forth in Item 4 of the original Statement is hereby reaffirmed and
specifically incorporated by reference herein.

For further clarification and without limiting the foregoing, (i) Allen D. Petersen (“Mr. Petersen”) is currently a member of the Board of Directors of AMCON; (ii) Mr. Hobbs, Chief Executive Officer, member and manager of Draupnir, became a member of the Board of Directors of AMCON on March 21, 2006; (iii) Mr. Atayan, an executive consultant to Draupnir and member of the Board of Directors of AMCON, has been appointed as Vice Chairman of AMCON; (iv) AMCON has created an “Office of the Chairman” to which AMCON’s senior management will report; (v) the Office of the Chairman is comprised of the Chairman, the Vice Chairman (Mr. Atayan) and the Chief Financial Officer; (vi) DCL has the authority to designate the Chief Financial Officer; (vii) the Office of the Chairman will be located at the offices of Draupnir in Chicago, Illinois; (viii) DCL will provide management services to Hawaiian Natural Water Co., Inc., a subsidiary of AMCON, on terms and conditions to be agreed upon at a later time, and (ix) AMCON will establish a holding company structure whereby AMCON will be operated as a holding company overseeing its operating subsidiaries. In connection with the foregoing, the Reporting Persons will have a certain degree of control over the management and policies of AMCON and may, from time to time, initiate, consider and vote upon plans or proposals relating to those events described below in clauses (a) — (j) of this Item 4. Nothing in any agreement between the Reporting Person and the Company or otherwise will give any Reporting Person the ability to limit the discretion of the Board of Directors of AMCON to elect or remove officers (or their successors), to amend the By-laws of AMCON or to otherwise manage the business and affairs of AMCON. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock or dispose of shares from time to time as conditions appear advantageous for doing so. In addition, Messrs. Peterson, Atayan and Hobbs may also acquire options or purchase shares of the Common Stock in their capacities as directors and/or officers of AMCON.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in:

| (a) | The acquisition by any person of additional securities of AMCON, or
the disposition of securities of AMCON; |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving AMCON or any of its
subsidiaries; |
| (c) | A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of AMCON or any of
its subsidiaries; |
| (d) | Any change in the present board of directors or management of AMCON,
including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; |
| (e) | Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of AMCON; |
| (f) | Any other material change in AMCON’s business or corporate structure; |
| (g) | Changes in AMCON’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control
of AMCON by any person; |
| (h) | Causing a class of securities of AMCON to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association; |
| (i) | A class of equity securities of AMCON becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act;
or |
| (j) | Any action similar to any of those enumerated above. |
