During Fiscal 2007, the Audit Committee held five meetings. The principal functions of the Audit
Committee are to appoint the independent auditors of the Company and review with the independent
auditors and the Company&#146;s internal audit department, the scope and results of audits, the internal
accounting controls of the Company, audit practices and the professional services furnished by the

Committee are to consider, review and approve all compensation arrangements, including base salary,
annual incentive awards and stock option grants, for officers and employees of the Company and to
administer the Company&#146;s employee benefit programs. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee

and Nick A. Caporella. During Fiscal 2007, the Nominating Committee held two meetings. The
Nominating Committee recommends to the Board of Directors candidates for election to the Board of
Directors. The Nominating Committee considers possible candidates from any sources, including
shareholders, for nominees for Directors. In evaluating the qualifications of nominees for the
Company&#146;s Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee considers a variety of factors, such as
education, work experience, knowledge of the Company&#146;s industry, membership on the Board of
Directors of other corporations and civic involvement. The Nominating Committee will consider any
nomination made by any shareholder of the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Company&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Under the Company&#146;s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, any nomination shall generally (i)&nbsp;be made no earlier than sixty and no more than
ninety days before the scheduled meeting by notice to the Secretary of the Company, (ii)&nbsp;include
certain information relevant to the shareholder and their nominee and (iii)&nbsp;only be made at a
meeting called for the purpose of electing directors of the Company. Recommendations, which shall
include written materials with respect to the potential candidate, should be sent to Corporate
Secretary, National Beverage Corp., P.O. Box 16720, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33318. All
shareholder nominees for director will be considered by the Nominating Committee in the same manner
as any other nominee. All recommendations should be accompanied by a complete statement of such
person&#146;s qualifications (including education, work experience, knowledge of the Company&#146;s industry,
membership on the Board of Directors of another corporation, and civic activity) and an indication
of the person&#146;s willingness to serve. The Nominating Committee does not have a charter.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Votes cast by
proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of elections appointed for
the Meeting and will be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present. A proxy
submitted by a shareholder may indicate that all or a portion of the shares represented by such
proxy are not being voted by such shareholder with respect to a particular matter (&#147;non-voted
shares&#148;). This could occur, for example, when a broker is not permitted to vote shares held in
&#147;street name&#148; on certain matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the
shares. Non-voted shares with respect to a particular matter will not be considered shares present
and entitled to vote on such matter, although such shares may be considered present and entitled to
vote for other purposes and will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
Shares voting to abstain as to a particular matter and directions to &#147;withhold authority&#148; to vote
for directors will not be considered non-voted shares and will be considered present and entitled
to vote with respect to such matter. Non-voted shares and abstentions will have no effect on the
matters brought to a vote at the Meeting. As a result of Mr.&nbsp;Caporella&#146;s beneficial ownership of
approximately 75.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, all of the proposals
will be approved by vote of shareholders at the Meeting.

plurality of affirmative votes cast by the shares present or represented at a duly convened
meeting. Shareholders have no right to vote cumulatively.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide an understanding of the actual
compensation earned by each of our named executive officers (&#147;Executive Officers&#148;) from the
Company. It should be noted that neither Mr.&nbsp;Nick Caporella nor Mr.&nbsp;Bracken receive compensation directly
from the Company. The services of both are provided to the Company through a management company,
Corporate Management Advisors, Inc., an entity owned by Mr.&nbsp;Nick Caporella (see &#147;Certain
Relationships and Related Party Transactions&#148; section below).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The objectives of the Company&#146;s compensation program are to (1)&nbsp;attract, motivate, develop and
retain top quality executives who will increase long-term shareholder value and (2)&nbsp;deliver
competitive total compensation packages based upon the achievement of both Company and individual
performance goals. The Company expects its executives to balance the risks and related
opportunities inherent in its industry and in the performance of his or her duties and share the
upside opportunity and the downside risks once actual performance is measured.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To achieve the above goals, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee has set forth a
compensation program for its Executive Officers that is reviewed annually. It includes the
following elements:

and contribution of the executive to the creation of long-term shareholder value, (b)&nbsp;considers the
relevant mix of compensation based upon three components, each an important factor &#151; base salary,
annual or intermediate incentives and long-term compensation, including stock options and (c)

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>FACTORS CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING COMPENSATION</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Compensation and Stock Option Committee reviews executive compensation levels for its
Executive Officers on an annual basis to ensure that they remain competitive within the beverage
industry. The overall value of the compensation package for an Executive Officer is based upon the
achievement of certain Company and individual performance goals which are established by the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the
Board. Consideration is also given to comparable compensation data for individuals holding
similarly responsible positions at other peer group companies in determining appropriate
compensation levels.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">With respect to long-term incentive compensation to be awarded to Executive Officers, the Company
maintains three equity based plans: (a)&nbsp;a 1991 Omnibus Incentive Stock Option Plan, (b)&nbsp;a 1995
Special Stock Option Plan and (c)&nbsp;a 1997 Key Employee Equity Partnership Program (each plan to be
discussed in more detail below). The timing, amount and form of awards under these plans for each
of the Executive Officers is made at the discretion of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
based on recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. Any such awards are granted only upon the
written approval of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. No stock based awards or other
equity rights have ever been granted to Mr.&nbsp;Nick A. Caporella since the Company&#146;s inception.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">All compensation awards comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m)
generally provides that a publicly held corporation will not be entitled to deduct for federal
income tax purposes compensation paid to either its chief executive officer or any of its four
other most highly compensated executive officers in excess of $1&nbsp;million in any year if that
compensation is not performance related. The equity based plans described above were designed and
implemented in such a manner so that most awards granted thereunder will be tax deductible because
they qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Additionally, outstanding stock option grants under the equity based plans are performance-based
for purposes of Section&nbsp;162(m). We believe all compensation paid to the Executive Officers for
fiscal year 2007, including profit sharing, is deductible under the Internal Revenue Code.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As discussed above, the Company&#146;s compensation programs for its Executive Officers are based
on four components: base salary, annual cash incentives, stock-based compensation and retirement,
health and other benefits; each intended as an important piece of the overall compensation.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>BASE SALARY</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Base salary is used to attract and retain the Executive Officers and is determined using
comparisons with industry competitors and other relevant factors including the seniority of the
individual, the functional role of the position, the level of the individual&#146;s responsibility, and
the ability to replace the individual. Salaries for the Executive Officers are reviewed by the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee and the Chief Executive Officer, and the Board on an annual
basis. Changes to base salaries, if any, are affected primarily by individual performance. The
salaries paid to the Executive Officers during fiscal year 2007 are shown in the Summary
Compensation Table presented in this proxy statement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUSES</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Annual incentive bonuses are intended to be and are a significant component of the Executive
Officer&#146;s compensation package, reflecting the Company&#146;s belief that management&#146;s contribution to
long-term shareholder returns comes from maximizing earnings and the potential of the Company. The
amount of annual incentive compensation to be awarded to the Executive Officers (if any) is
determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, upon recommendation by the Chief
Executive Officer, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee
considers certain objective and subjective factors when determining the amount of an annual
incentive bonus award for an Executive Officer, including, without limitation, the Executive&#146;s
Officer&#146;s performance for the fiscal year to which the bonus relates.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>SHARE BASED COMPENSATION (LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAMS)</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Share based long-term incentive compensation awarded to Executive Officers has been and is
provided through the issuance of stock options. Stock options are an important element of
the Company&#146;s long-term incentives program. The primary purpose of stock options is to provide
Executive Officers and other employees with a personal and financial interest in the Company&#146;s
success through stock ownership, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with those of our
shareholders. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that the value of stock options
will reflect the Company&#146;s financial performance over the long-term. Because the Company&#146;s stock
option program provides for a vesting period before options may be exercised and, in general, an
exercise price at fair market value as of the date of grant, employees benefit from stock options
only when the market value of the common shares increases over time.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Stock-based awards made under the Company&#146;s 1991 Omnibus Incentive Plan typically consist of
options to purchase Common Stock which vest over 5&nbsp;years and have a term of 10&nbsp;years. Certain key
executives of the Company also receive grants from time to time under the Company&#146;s Special Stock
Option Plan. The vesting schedule and exercise price of these options are tied to the executive&#146;s
ownership levels of Common Stock and achievement of Company objectives. Generally, the terms of the
Special Stock Options allow for the reduction in exercise price upon each vesting date of the
option. The Company issues stock awards with long-term vesting schedules to increase the level of
the executive&#146;s stock ownership by continued employment with the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, share based compensation is awarded under the Company&#146;s 1997 Key Employee Equity
Partnership Program (the &#147;<I>KEEP </I>Program&#148;). The <I>KEEP </I>Program is designed to positively align
interests between the Company&#146;s executives and its shareholders beyond traditional option programs
while, at the same time, intending to stimulate and reward management in &#147;partnering-up&#148; with the
Company in its quest to create shareholder value. The <I>KEEP </I>Program provides for the granting of
stock options to key employees, officers and directors of the Company who invest their personal
funds in the Common Stock. Participants who purchase shares of the Common Stock in the open market
receive grants of stock options equal to 50% of the number of shares purchased up to a maximum of
6,000 shares in any two-year period. Options under the <I>KEEP </I>Program are automatically forfeited in
case of the sale of shares originally acquired by the participant. The options are granted at an
initial exercise price of 60% of the purchase price paid for the shares acquired and reduce to the
par value of the Common Stock at the end of the six-year vesting period.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s long-term incentive programs are generally intended to provide rewards to executives
only if value is created for shareholders over time and the executive continues in the employ of
the Company. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that employees should have
sufficient holdings of the Company&#146;s Common Stock so that their decisions will appropriately foster
growth in the value of the Company. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee reviews with the
Chief Executive Officer the recommended individual awards and evaluates the scope of
responsibility, strategic and operational goals of individual contributions in making final awards
under the 1991 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Special Stock Option Plan and determining participants
in the <I>KEEP </I>Program.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Options issued pursuant to the 1995 Special Stock Option Plan and the <I>KEEP </I>Program after December
31, 2004 are considered deferred compensation arrangements under Section&nbsp;409A on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986. Accordingly, option recipients must make a written election to exercise
option grants on specified future dates to avoid being subject to additional income
taxes, interest and withholding. The election is irrevocable, but is subject to acceleration upon
termination of employment, disability and certain other limited circumstances. All Executive
Officers holding options granted under these plans have made such election.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">With respect to the share based compensation, the Company recognizes stock compensation expense
based on the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R &#147;Share-Based Payments&#148; (&#147;SFAS 123R&#148;).
The standard requires public companies to measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company ensures that stock option awards approved by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee will be granted subsequent to any planned release of material non-public information.
The Company does not engage in the backdating, cancellation or re-pricing of stock options and have
not engaged in such practices in the past.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B><I>RETIREMENT, HEALTH AND OTHER BENEFITS</I></B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company provides retirement, health and other benefits as an additional incentive to
retain employees. The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan that allows employees
to make plan contributions on a pre-tax basis, and currently contributes an additional profit
sharing contribution on behalf of each employee, the amount of which is dependent upon years of
service and compensation levels, which amount is subject to change from year to year. Although
Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan, they are prevented from
participating at the same level as non-executives, due to the rules under the Internal Revenue
Code, Section&nbsp;401(a)(17) which dictate the application of an annual limitation on contributions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We currently make available to our Executive Officers and all employees a comprehensive health,
dental, life and disability insurance program. The health care insurance offers a variety of
coverage options, at the employee&#146;s discretion. The Company currently provides a basic term life
insurance policy to all employees and makes additional coverage available at the employee&#146;s expense
and discretion.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company does not provide any additional perquisites to the Executive Officers, other than a car
allowance (as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below). The Company values this car
allowance benefit based upon the actual cost to the Company. The total of all perquisites to an
Executive Officer did not equal or exceed $10,000 for fiscal year 2007.
</DIV>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company does not typically enter into, and does not currently have, any formal employment,
change in control, severance or other similar agreements with any of the Executive Officers. The
Company may, from time to time, pay severance to an employee, including an Executive Officer, based
on, among other things, years of service, functional role of position
and level on individual&#146;s responsibility and reasons for
terminating his or her services. The Company believes in trust, loyalty and commitment from both
the Company and the Executive Officers, and believes that such agreements are not necessary to
achieve its goals and meet the needs of the Executive Officers. The Company believes that the fact
that most, if not all, of the executives of the Company have been with the Company for a long
period of time demonstrates and proves this belief.

in relatively equal amounts at approximately 16&nbsp;month intervals. The exercise price can be reduced
and the vesting schedule can be accelerated by the optionee purchasing and maintaining ownership
of shares of Common Stock and/or the Company achieving performance objectives as determined by the
Board. Based upon the maximum required ownership of Common Stock as provided in the Stock Option
Agreement together with the Company achieving the performance targets previously established by
the Board, the option can fully vest after approximately 54&nbsp;months and the exercise price can be
reduced to near the par value of the Common Stock, or $.01 per share.</TD>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee oversees the Company&#146;s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board
of Directors. The Company&#146;s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements
and reporting process, including the Company&#146;s systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited
financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April&nbsp;28,
2007. This review included a discussion of the quality and the acceptability of the accounting
principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the
financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee discussed with the Company&#146;s independent accountants, who are responsible
for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company&#146;s audited financial statements with
generally accepted accounting principles, all matters required to be discussed by Statement on
Auditing Standards No.&nbsp;61. In addition, the Committee discussed with the independent accountants
their independence from management and the Company, including the matters in their written
disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No.&nbsp;1.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee discussed with the Company&#146;s Director of Internal Audit and independent
accountants the overall plans for their respective audits, the results of their examinations, their
evaluations of the Company&#146;s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company&#146;s financial
reporting.

LLP, independent registered certified public accountants. Representatives of McGladrey &#038; Pullen
LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting to make a statement if they so desire and they are
expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Company&#146;s Board of Directors
intends to review the appointment of independent certified public accountants during Fiscal 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;5, 2006, the Company engaged McGladrey &#038; Pullen LLP as the Company&#146;s independent
registered public accounting firm, replacing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The decision to change
independent registered public accounting firms was recommended by the Company&#146;s management and
approved by the Audit Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. The reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Company&#146;s financial statements for the fiscal years ended April
29, 2006 (&#147;Fiscal 2006&#148;) and April&nbsp;30, 2005 (&#147;Fiscal 2005&#148;) did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principle. During Fiscal 2006 and Fiscal 2005 and through September&nbsp;5, 2006, there were
no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During Fiscal 2006 and Fiscal 2005 and through September&nbsp;5, 2006, neither the Company nor
anyone on its behalf consulted with McGladrey &#038; Pullen LLP regarding either: (i)&nbsp;the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of
audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company&#146;s financial statements, and neither a written
report nor oral advice was provided to the Company by McGladrey &#038; Pullen LLP that was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (ii)&nbsp;any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in
Item&nbsp;304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as
described in Item&nbsp;304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company was billed an aggregate of $619,900 and $226,500 by its auditors for Fiscal 2007

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is a party to a management agreement with Corporate Management Advisors, Inc., a
company owned by Nick A. Caporella. The management agreement originated with the need to employ
professionals at the early stages of the Company&#146;s development, the cost of which could be shared
with others, thus allowing the Company to have a more cost-effective structure.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The management agreement states that the Management Company is to provide to the Company,
subject to the direction and supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company, (i)&nbsp;senior
corporate functions (including supervision of the Company&#146;s financial, legal, executive
recruitment, internal audit and management information systems departments) as well as the services
of a Chief Executive Officer, and (ii)&nbsp;services in connection with acquisitions, dispositions and
financings by the Company, including identifying and profiling acquisition candidates, negotiating
