<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. The financial statements do not include all
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. Except for the matters disclosed herein, there
has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May&nbsp;3, 2003. In
our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results for

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As provided by SFAS 123, we use the intrinsic value method to account for stock
based compensation awarded to employees, which generally does not recognize any
compensation expense with respect to such awards unless the exercise price of
options granted is less than the market price on the date of grant. Had the
fair value method been used, net income and earnings per share for the
nine-month periods ended January&nbsp;31, 2004 and January&nbsp;25, 2003 would have been
reduced on a pro forma basis by less than $100,000 and $.01 per share for each
period.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">During the nine months ended January&nbsp;31, 2004, options for 53,910 shares were
exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $2.21. At January&nbsp;31, 2004,
options to purchase 878,716 shares at a weighted average exercise price of
$4.42 were outstanding and stock-based awards to purchase 1,187,424 shares of
common stock were available for grant.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INVENTORIES</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.
Inventories at January&nbsp;31, 2004 are comprised of finished goods of $16,928,000
and raw materials of $14,885,000. Inventories at May&nbsp;3, 2003 are comprised of
finished goods of $16,288,000 and raw materials of $12,407,000.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">A subsidiary maintains unsecured revolving credit facilities with banks
aggregating $45&nbsp;million (the &#147;Credit Facilities&#148;). The Credit Facilities
expire through February&nbsp;1, 2006 and bear interest at 1/2% below the banks&#146;
reference rate or 1% above LIBOR, at the subsidiary&#146;s election. At January&nbsp;31,
2004, approximately $42&nbsp;million was available under the Credit Facilities and
there were no borrowings outstanding. Another subsidiary has a term loan
agreement with a bank that has an outstanding balance of $600,000 at January
31, 2004 and is repayable in quarterly installments through July&nbsp;31, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Debt agreements require subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios and
contain other restrictions, none of which are expected to have a material
impact on our operations or financial position. At January&nbsp;31, 2004, retained
earnings of approximately $28&nbsp;million were restricted from distribution and we
were in compliance with all loan covenants.

purchased since January&nbsp;1998 was 502,060. Such shares are classified as
treasury stock.

the stock dividend on net income per share and average common shares
outstanding is reported on the statement of income.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On March&nbsp;5, 2004, the Company announced a special &#147;one-time&#148; cash dividend of
$1.00 per share on approximately 36.6&nbsp;million outstanding shares (subsequent to
the payment of the 100% stock dividend). The cash dividend will be paid on or

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ITEM 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MANAGEMENT&#146;S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">National Beverage Corp. develops, manufactures, markets and distributes a
complete portfolio of quality non-alcoholic beverage products throughout the
United States. Our lines of multi-flavored soft drinks, including those of our
flagship brands, Shasta&#174; and Faygo<I>&#174;, </I>emphasize distinctive flavor variety. In
addition, we offer an assortment of premium beverages geared toward the
health-conscious consumer, including Everfresh<I>&#174;, </I>Home Juice<I>&#174;, </I>and Mr.&nbsp;Pure<I>&#174;</I>
100% juice and juice-based products; and LaCROIX<I>&#174;, </I>Mt. Shasta&#153;, Crystal Bay&#174;
and ClearFruit<I>&#174; </I>flavored and spring water products. We also produce specialty
products, including Shasta Shortz&#174;, a line of beverages geared toward children,
Ohana&#174; fruit-flavored drinks and St. Nick&#146;s&#174; holiday soft drinks.
Substantially all of our brands are produced in 14 manufacturing facilities
that are strategically located in major metropolitan markets throughout the
continental United States. To a lesser extent, we develop and produce soft
drinks for retail grocery chains, warehouse clubs, mass-merchandisers and
wholesalers (&#147;allied brands&#148;) as well as soft drinks for other beverage
companies.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Our strategy emphasizes the growth of our branded products by offering a
beverage portfolio of proprietary flavors; by supporting the franchise value of
regional brands; by developing and acquiring innovative products tailored
toward healthy lifestyles; and by appealing to the &#147;quality-price&#148; sensitivity
factor of the family consumer. We believe that the &#147;regional share dynamics&#148;
of our brands possess consumer loyalty within local markets and generate more
aggressive retailer sponsored promotional activities.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Over the last several years, we have focused on increasing penetration of our
brands in the convenience channel through Company-owned and independent
distributors. The convenience channel is composed of convenience stores, gas
stations and other smaller &#147;up-and-down-the-street&#148; accounts. Because of the
higher retail prices and margins that typically prevail, we have undertaken
specific measures to expand distribution in this channel. These include
development of products specifically targeted to this market, such as
ClearFruit, Everfresh, Mr.&nbsp;Pure, Ritz<I>&#174; </I>and Crystal Bay. Additionally, we have
created proprietary and specialized packaging for these products with
distinctive graphics. We intend to continue our focus on enhancing growth in
the convenience channel through both specialized packaging and innovative
product development.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Beverage industry sales are seasonal with the highest volume typically realized
during the summer months. Additionally, our operating results are subject to
numerous factors, including fluctuations in the costs of raw materials, changes
in consumer preference for beverage products and competitive pricing in the
marketplace.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>RESULTS OF OPERATIONS</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Three Months Ended January&nbsp;31, 2004 (third quarter of fiscal 2004) compared to
Three Months Ended January&nbsp;25, 2003 (third quarter of fiscal
2003)</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net sales for the three months ended January&nbsp;31, 2004 increased approximately
6% to $107.0&nbsp;million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This
increase was primarily the result of volume growth of our branded soft drinks
and favorable changes in product mix.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Gross profit approximated 32.9% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal
2004 and 32.8% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This
improvement was due to the volume increase of higher-margin branded business
partially offset by increases in certain manufacturing costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $33.1&nbsp;million or 31.0% of net
sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to $31.3&nbsp;million or 31.2%
of net sales for last year. The dollar increase is due to higher distribution
and selling costs related to the volume growth and higher marketing costs
related to new product introductions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Interest expense declined during the third quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to
the prior year due to reductions in average debt outstanding and interest
rates. Other income, which is comprised primarily of interest income,
decreased due to lower investment yields and increased investments in
tax-exempt securities.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company&#146;s effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual
income tax rates, approximated 36.9% of income before taxes for the third
quarter of fiscal 2004 and 38.2% for fiscal 2003. The difference between the
effective rate and the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the
effects of state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net income was $1,356,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to
$1,089,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Nine Months Ended January&nbsp;31, 2004 (first nine months of fiscal 2004) compared
to Nine Months Ended January&nbsp;25, 2003 (first nine months of fiscal 2003)</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net sales for the nine months ended January&nbsp;31, 2004 increased 3% to $382.1
million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2003. This increase was
primarily the result of volume growth of our branded soft drinks, which was
partially offset by a decline in allied branded volume.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Gross profit approximated 33.0% of net sales for the first nine months of
fiscal 2004 and 32.8% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2003.
This improvement was due to the volume increase of higher-margin branded
business partially offset by increases in certain raw material and
manufacturing costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $104.2&nbsp;million or 27.3% of
net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared to $101.0&nbsp;million
or 27.3% of net sales for last year. The dollar increase is due to higher
distribution and selling costs related to the volume growth and higher
marketing costs related to new product introductions.

effective rate and the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the
effects of state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net income was $13,827,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2004, compared
to $12,983,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2003.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Capital Resources</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Our sources of capital are cash flow from operations and borrowings under
existing credit facilities. We maintain unsecured revolving credit facilities
aggregating $45&nbsp;million of which approximately $42&nbsp;million was available for
future borrowings at January&nbsp;31, 2004. We believe that existing capital
resources are sufficient to meet our capital requirements and those of the
parent company for the foreseeable future.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Cash Flows</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">During the first nine months of fiscal 2004, we generated cash of $12.3&nbsp;million
from operating activities, which was partially offset by $5.7&nbsp;million expended
for investing activities and $986,000 expended for financing activities. Cash
provided by operating activities decreased $12.7&nbsp;million primarily due to an
increase in working capital requirements. Cash used in investing activities
decreased $589,000 due to a reduction in net property additions, while cash
used in financing activities decreased $8.0&nbsp;million reflecting lower debt
repayments.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Financial Position</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">During the first nine months of fiscal 2004, our working capital increased
$15.6&nbsp;million to $95.4&nbsp;million from $79.8&nbsp;million, primarily due to cash
generated from operations. The decrease in prepaid and other is due to changes
in income tax refund receivables. The decrease in accounts payable is due to
the timing of payments and seasonal changes in volume. At January&nbsp;31, 2004,
the current ratio was 3.0 to 1 compared to 2.4 to 1 at May&nbsp;3, 2003.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Liquidity</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We periodically evaluate capital projects designed to expand capacity and
improve efficiency at our manufacturing facilities. We presently have no
material commitments for capital expenditures and expect that fiscal 2004
capital expenditures will be slightly higher than fiscal 2003.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On March&nbsp;5, 2004, the Company announced a special &#147;one-time&#148; cash dividend of
$1.00 per share on approximately 36.6&nbsp;million outstanding shares. The cash
dividend will be paid on or before April&nbsp;30, 2004 to shareholders of record on
March&nbsp;26, 2004. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
