           National Beverage Corp. Presents Synoptic Review

    FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2005--National
Beverage Corp. (AMEX:FIZ) issued the following announcement.
    As the company is about to conclude the first quarter of FY 2006
(the beginning of our 20th year), the lessons of the past and current
facts concerning the soft drink industry and our business are quite
paradoxical. Therefore, we have decided to break from our traditional
reporting format.
    These are the more commanding facts about the state of National
Beverage Corp. and its business -

    --  Team National is the best at developing and producing the
        finest flavored soft drinks.

    --  National Beverage Corp. owns most of its manufacturing
        facilities and distributes through a multi-faceted hybrid
        system to its retail partners.

    --  On April 28, 2005, National Beverage Corp. received notice
        confirming that, as a class member in the HFCS litigation, a
        portion of our claim had been approved. On June 30, 2005,
        payment of $7.7 million was received. While a part of these
        funds represents a reimbursement for amounts paid in FY 2005,
        all of the $7.7 million and any other funds forthcoming will
        be recorded as a cost of sales reduction in FY 2006.

    --  As of this writing, cash balances are approximately $70
        million with virtually 'zero' debt.

    --  National Beverage Corp.'s balance sheet has strengthened to
        nearly surpass the one-time dividend payout of $38.4 million
        on April 30, 2004.

    --  National Beverage Corp.'s revenues for FY 2005 were $495.6
        million as compared to revenues of $512.1 million for the like
        period of FY 2004.

    --  National Beverage Corp.'s earnings for FY 2005 were $16.9
        million or $.45 per share as compared to $18.7 million or $.51
        per share for the prior year.

    --  National Beverage Corp.'s financial results were affected by
        extraordinary events, including reduced consumption of
        carbonated soft drinks due to the "sticker shock" effect of
        increased pricing resulting from industry efforts to offset
        rising costs of raw materials. In addition, changing
        lifestyles and tastes are affecting the soft drink market
        resulting in a general softness in carbonated soft drinks.
        First quarter is reflecting some reversing of the previous
        declines in FY 2004 - 2005.

    --  National Beverage Corp. has introduced two new soft drink
        alternatives and has strengthened its line of juice, juice
        drinks and flavored waters. Plans to further engage in
        soft-drink innovations are presently in trials and will go to
        market soon.

    --  Raw materials, with the exception of energy costs, are
        beginning to stabilize and non-carbonated, energy-related
        alternative drinks are surpassing expectations in the first
        quarter of FY 2006.

    --  Envisioning the refreshing times that our beverages help to
        create or celebrate . . . and knowing that the diligent energy
        expended on behalf of the business is to reward our investors
        ... is fun!

    --  We of Team National who manage our public company servicing
        the soft-drink industry during the past couple of years ...
        not fun!

    While a bit lengthy - these are the pertinent facts relative to
the business and condition of our wonderful company - National
Beverage Corp!
    National Beverage produces soft drinks, bottled waters, juices and
juice products and is highly recognized for a line of refreshing
flavors through its popular brands: Shasta(R), Faygo(R), Ritz(R),
Everfresh(R), Mr. Pure(R), LaCroix(R) and Rip It(R).
