    <p>
      &#8220;What could be written here about the pressures of the current business
      climate would be mild in comparison to the daily news,&#8221; stated Chairman
      and Chief Executive Officer, Nick A. Caporella. But, all that negative
      aside, we at National Beverage Corp. are genuinely fortunate to be in
      the value-recognized flavored, soft-drink business at this time.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Our core brands, Shasta and Faygo, do more than refresh consumers &#8211;
      both of these brands provide a bit of stability and entertainment also .
      . . kind of an uplifting association of trust . . . and in these times,
      anything that promotes confidence is good &#8211; very good!&#8221; Caporella
      continued.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Retailers know that concerned consumers are reaching out for value and
      we are experiencing increased sales in both new distribution and
      steadfast retailers alike.&#8221;

      &#8220;Our energy, juices and premium water product lines continue to perform
      well and, while the introduction of our NutraFizz line of powders and
      effervescent tablets was delayed . . . we are experiencing consumer
      excitement with these new products,&#8221; concluded Caporella.
