<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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. Significant financial ratios and restrictions include: fixed charge coverage; net worth

measurements. SFAS 157 was effective at the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year for all financial
assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis. For all other nonfinancial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 is effective at the
beginning of our 2010 fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our

instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective at the beginning of our
2009 fiscal year. We did not apply the fair value option to any of our financial instruments;
therefore, SFAS 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

quality beverage products throughout the United States. Incorporated in Delaware in 1985, National
Beverage Corp. is a holding company for various operating subsidiaries. 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We consider ourselves to be a leader in the development and sale of flavored beverage products in
the United States, offering the widest selection of flavored soft drinks, juices, sparkling waters
and energy drinks. Our flavor development spans over 100&nbsp;years originating with our flagship
brands, Shasta<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> and Faygo<I><SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>, </I>each of which has over 50 flavor varieties. We also maintain a diverse

nutritionally-enhanced waters. In addition, we produce Rip It<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> energy drinks, Ohana<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>
fruit-flavored drinks and St. Nick&#146;s<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> holiday soft drinks. Substantially all of our brands are
produced in thirteen 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 certain retailers and beverage companies (&#147;allied brands&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 distinctive 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 retailer sponsored
promotional activities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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
consists 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 several
measures to expand convenience channel distribution in recent years. These include development of
products specifically targeted to this market, such as ClearFruit, Crystal Bay, Rip It, &#192;Sant&#233; and
Sundance<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>. Additionally, we have created proprietary and specialized packaging with distinctive
graphics for these products. We intend to continue our focus on enhancing growth in the
convenience channel through both specialized packaging and innovative product development.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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.

<U>Three Months Ended January&nbsp;26, 2008 (third quarter of fiscal 2008)</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 increased 5.1% to $129.4&nbsp;million compared to $123.2
million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The net sales increase reflects case volume growth
of 3.7% for the Company&#146;s energy drinks, juices and waters and 9.8% for branded carbonated soft
drinks. In addition, unit pricing increased 1.2% due to product mix changes and price increases
instituted to recover higher raw material costs. This improvement was partially offset by a
decline in allied-branded volume.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross profit approximated 28.7% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 30.6%
of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The gross profit decline was due primarily to
higher raw material costs and the inclusion of a $.5&nbsp;million business interruption insurance
recovery in the prior period. Cost of goods sold per unit increased approximately 4.0%.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $31.9&nbsp;million or 24.7% of net sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $32.8&nbsp;million or 26.6% of net sales for the third quarter of
fiscal 2008. The decline in expenses is due to lower distribution and marketing expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income includes interest income of $177,000 (fiscal 2009) and $194,000 (fiscal 2008). Also,
included in other income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 is income of $.7&nbsp;million from a legal
settlement. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual income tax rates,
approximated 37.3% of income before taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 35.5% for the
comparable period in fiscal 2008. 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net income was $3.7&nbsp;million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $3.3&nbsp;million for the

<U>Nine Months Ended January&nbsp;26, 2008 (first nine months of fiscal 2008)</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 increased 2.0% to $426.7&nbsp;million compared to
$418.5&nbsp;million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The net sales increase reflects case
volume growth of 3.8% for the Company&#146;s energy drinks, juices and waters and 2.2% for branded
carbonated soft drinks. In addition, unit pricing increased 3.5% due to product mix changes and
price increases instituted to recover higher raw material costs. This improvement was partially
offset by a decline in allied-branded volume.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross profit approximated 29.5% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to
30.7% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The gross profit decline is due to
higher raw material costs and the inclusion of a $1.4&nbsp;million business interruption insurance
recovery in the prior period. Cost of goods sold per unit increased approximately 5.4%.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $99.0&nbsp;million or 23.2% of net sales for the first
nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to $103.2&nbsp;million or 24.7% of net sales for the first nine
months of fiscal 2008. The decline in expenses is due to lower marketing and administrative
expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income includes interest income of $626,000 (fiscal 2009) and $934,000 (fiscal 2008). The
decline in interest income is due to lower investment yields. Also, included in other income for
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 is income of $.7&nbsp;million from a legal settlement. See Note 7
of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s effective rate for income taxes, based upon estimated annual income tax rates,
approximated 36.2% of income before taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 35.5% for
the comparable period in fiscal 2008. 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net income was $17.9&nbsp;million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to $16.9&nbsp;million for
the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B><BR>
Our current sources of capital are cash flows from operations and borrowings under existing credit
facilities. We maintain unsecured revolving credit facilities aggregating $75&nbsp;million of which $2.3
million was used for standby letters of credit at January&nbsp;31, 2009. There was no debt outstanding
under the credit facilities. We believe that our capital resources are sufficient to fund our
capital expenditures, dividends and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Cash Flows</B><BR>
During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, $25.0&nbsp;million was provided by operating activities,
$1.7&nbsp;million was used in investing activities and $266,000 was provided by financing activities.
Cash provided by operating activities increased $12.7&nbsp;million due primarily to an improvement in
working capital requirements. Cash used in investing activities declined $5.2&nbsp;million due to an
increase in net marketable securities sold and a decline in property additions. The $35.7&nbsp;million
change in cash provided by financing activities is due to the effect of the cash dividend paid last
year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Financial Position</B><BR>
During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, our working capital increased $22.4&nbsp;million to $111.8
million primarily due to cash provided by operating activities. Trade receivables and accounts
payable decreased due to lower volume related to seasonality. Prepaid and other assets decreased
primarily due to a decline in income tax refund receivables. The current ratio was 3.0 to 1 at
January&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2.3 to 1 at May&nbsp;3, 2008.

of the Corporation that any amounts considered deferred compensation pursuant to this Plan
shall not be included in the gross income of the participants or their beneficiaries until
such time as the deferred amounts are distributed from the Plan. At all times, this Plan
shall be interpreted and operated (i)&nbsp;in accordance with the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;SECTION 12. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In General. The Plan is intended to comply in form and operation with the requirements
of Section&nbsp;409A. It is the intention of the Corporation that the amounts deferred pursuant
to this Plan shall not be included in the gross income of the optionees
or their beneficiaries until such time as the deferred amounts are distributed from the
Plan. At all times, this Plan shall be interpreted and operated (i)&nbsp;in accordance with the
requirements of Section&nbsp;409A, unless an exemption from Section&nbsp;409A is available and
applicable, and (ii)&nbsp;to maintain the exemption from Section&nbsp;409A of awards designed to meet
the short-term deferral exception under Section&nbsp;409A, and (iii)&nbsp;to preserve the status of
deferrals made prior to the effective date of Section&nbsp;409A as exempt from Section&nbsp;409A
(i.e., to preserve the grandfathered status of Options that were vested as of, and not
modified after, December&nbsp;31, 2004).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">Any discretionary authority with respect to an Option, which may exist under the terms of
the Option or the other terms of this Plan, shall not be applicable to an Option that is
subject to Section&nbsp;409A to the extent such discretionary authority would conflict with
Section&nbsp;409A. In the event that any Option shall be deemed not to comply with Section&nbsp;409A,
then neither the Corporation, the Board, the Committee nor its or their designees or
agents, nor any of their affiliates, assigns or successors (each a &#147;protected party&#148;) shall
be liable to any optionee or other person for actions, inactions, decisions, indecisions or
any other role in relation to the Plan by a protected party if made or undertaken in good
faith or in reliance on the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Corporation), or
made or undertaken by someone other than a protected party.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Appendix&nbsp;A. Appendix&nbsp;A attached hereto and incorporated as a part of the Plan shall
apply to any Option that is subject to, and not exempt from, Section&nbsp;409A. The terms,
conditions and provisions of Appendix&nbsp;A shall control and shall supersede any conflicting
provision elsewhere in the Plan with respect to any Option subject to Section&nbsp;409A.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specified Employees. With respect to optionees who are &#147;specified employees&#148; under
Section&nbsp;409A, a payment due to &#147;separation from service&#148; (within the meaning of Section
409A) may not be made before the date that is six months after the date of separation from
service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the optionee), except as may be otherwise
permitted pursuant to Section&nbsp;409A.&#148;
