      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2009--National

    <p>
      &#8220;As we all face the never-ending bombardment of dire news &#8211;
      foreclosures, bankruptcies, rising unemployment, global bank failures,
      billion dollar frauds, etc., etc., etc. &#8211; I am extremely grateful for .
      . . and proud of . . . <u><i>our</i></u> National Beverage!&#8221; exclaimed
      Nick A. Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Third quarter results are a reflection of this pride. In spite of
      current economic woes, the <i>&#8216;flavor&#8211;value&#8211;credence&#8217;</i>
      profile that National Beverage has embraced since its birth, continues
      to carry us through in the most challenging times. While some may have
      chided our conservative expansion over recent years . . . we believe
      that our diligent focus on operating margins and cash flow has given us
      an advantageous position to now - aggressively seek and capture
      opportunities!&#8221; continued Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Today&#8217;s shopper is keenly aware of value and this has generated volume
      growth throughout our beverage portfolio. Confidence is America&#8217;s <i>First
      Wish</i> and consumers plus our long-standing investors recognize
      National Beverage Corp. rewards that <i>wish</i> with its zest to
      deliver <i>taste</i> &#8211; <i>value</i> &#8211; <i>credence</i> and <i>results</i>
