    <p>
      &#8220;The <i>&#8216;value conscious&#8217;</i> consumer seeking variety
      &#8211; and recognized quality continues to choose our traditional Shasta and
      Faygo flavors to refresh and entertain themselves. This consumer&#8217;s brand
      loyalty has resulted in double-digit increases of our core soft-drink
      brands and impacted gains in revenues and net income &#8211; marking an
      excellent first quarter,&#8221; stated Nick A. Caporella, Chairman and Chief
      Executive Officer.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Unfortunate circumstances tend to leave behind some good lessons &#8211; our
      good fortune is a result of a lesson &#8211; the conditioning this daunting
      economy has re-instilled in all of us &#8211; value, value, value, and more
      value! This education will last a very long time &#8211; and our century-wise,
      time-honored flavor brands, Shasta and Faygo, boldly incite real value
      for both consumers and retailers alike! Also, it was great having Bon
      App&#233;tit in their September issue confirm what we have always known &#8211;
      that Faygo Root Beer is ranked number one in the land! Yes, that the
      distinctive flavor of Root Beer is the newest restaurant trend on menus
      across the nation! . . . Another &#8216;<i>win&#8217;</i> on Team
      National&#8217;s score card,&#8221; Caporella continued.
