JULY 31, 2004<BR>
(UNAUDITED)</B></DIV>
<HR size="2" noshade width="100%" align="left">


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION</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. Incorporated in Delaware in 1985, National Beverage Corp. is a
holding company for various operating subsidiaries. When used in this report,
the terms &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;Company&#148; and &#147;National Beverage&#148; mean National
Beverage Corp. and its subsidiaries.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;)
and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
interim financial information. The financial statements do not include all
information and notes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. In
our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results for
the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results which
might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year
ended May&nbsp;1, 2004.

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


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As provided by SFAS 123 as
amended, 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 basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three-month periods ended July&nbsp;31, 2004 and August&nbsp;2, 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 three months ended July&nbsp;31, 2004, options for 7,750 shares were
granted at a weighted average exercise price of $5.00 and options for 25,200
shares were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $1.86. At July
31, 2004, options to purchase 1,015,458 shares at a weighted average exercise
price of $2.84 were outstanding and stock-based awards to purchase
2,451,022
shares of common stock were available for grant.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>3. 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 July&nbsp;31, 2004 are comprised of finished goods of $17,984,000 and
raw materials of $14,648,000. Inventories at May&nbsp;1, 2004 are comprised of
finished goods of $16,349,000 and raw materials of $13,405,000.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>5. DEBT</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">A subsidiary maintains unsecured revolving credit facilities aggregating $45
million (the &#147;Credit Facilities&#148;) with banks. 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 July&nbsp;31, 2004, there
was no outstanding debt under the Credit Facilities and approximately $42
million was available for future borrowings.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Credit Facilities require the subsidiary 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 July&nbsp;31, 2004,
retained earnings of approximately $25&nbsp;million were restricted from
distribution.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>OVERVIEW</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. Incorporated in Delaware in 1985, National Beverage Corp. is a
holding company for various operating subsidiaries. When used in this report,
the terms &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;Company&#148; and &#147;National Beverage&#148; mean National
Beverage Corp. and its subsidiaries.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">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 to 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 Rip It&#153;, an energy drink geared toward young consumers, 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 products by offering a branded
beverage portfolio of proprietary flavors; by supporting the franchise value of
regional brands and expanding those brands with new packaging and broader
demographic emphasis; by developing and acquiring innovative products tailored
toward healthy lifestyles; and by appealing to the &#147;quality-price&#148; expectations
of the family consumer. We believe that the &#147;regional share dynamics&#148; of our
brands perpetuate consumer loyalty within local regional markets, resulting in
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, Crystal Bay, and Rip It. 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"><U>Three Months Ended July&nbsp;31, 2004 (first quarter of fiscal 2005) compared to</U><BR>
<U>Three Months Ended August&nbsp;2, 2003 (first quarter of fiscal 2004)</U>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net sales for the three months ended July&nbsp;31, 2004 increased approximately 1%
to $146.5&nbsp;million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase
was primarily the result of pricing improvements and favorable product mix
changes. Sales volume was impacted by the soft retail environment during the
summer period and a continued decline in allied business.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Gross profit approximated 33.0% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal
2005 and 33.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. This change
was due to increases in fuel, utility and raw material costs partially offset
by pricing improvements mentioned above.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.1&nbsp;million or 23.3% of net
sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to $35.1&nbsp;million or 24.1%
of net sales for last year. The decline was due to lower selling and marketing
costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Interest expense declined during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to
the prior year due to reductions in average debt outstanding. Other income,
which is comprised primarily of interest income, decreased due to a decline in
average investments outstanding as a result of the $38.4&nbsp;million cash dividend
paid on April&nbsp;30, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company&#146;s effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual
income tax rates, approximated 37.9% of income before taxes for the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 and 38.0% for fiscal 2004. The difference between the
effective rate and the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the
effects of state income taxes, nondeductible expenses and nontaxable interest
income.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net income was $8,856,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to
$8,450,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.



<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 current 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 July&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 three months of fiscal 2005, we generated cash of $11.2
million from operating activities, which was partially offset by $2.3&nbsp;million
expended for investing activities. Cash provided by operating activities
increased $6.7&nbsp;million primarily due to an increase in earnings and a decrease
in working capital requirements. Cash used in investing activities decreased
$264,000 due to a reduction in property additions.

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


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">During the first three months of fiscal 2005, our working capital increased
$9.3&nbsp;million to $74.2&nbsp;million primarily due to cash generated from operations.
The increase in trade receivables, inventories and accounts payable was due to
higher sales volume related to seasonality. The decrease in prepaid and other
is due to changes in income tax refund receivables. At July&nbsp;31, 2004, the
current ratio was 2.2 to 1 compared to 2.1 to 1 at May&nbsp;1, 2004.



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


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We continually evaluate capital projects designed to expand capacity and
improve efficiency at our manufacturing facilities. During fiscal 2004,
management initiated programs intended to improve plant efficiency and, as a
result, the Company expects that fiscal 2005 capital expenditures will be
higher than fiscal 2004.
