      Beverage Corp. Sustains Momentum; Reports Six Months Results</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 10, 2009--National
      Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today reported financial results for its
      mid-year (six months) and second quarter ended October 31, 2009.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the six months:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Revenues increased 5% to $312.4 million.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Net income grew to $18.1 million.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Earnings per share grew 26% to $.39.
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      &#8220;We find ourselves quite content and privileged to report six-month
      results that sustained both revenue and profit growth in spite of the
      present economic climate,&#8221; stated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
      Nick A. Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Our revenue growth in North America out-classed most other soft drink
      producers and this performance remains attributable to our value brands
      and today&#8217;s cautious consumer spending philosophy,&#8221; continued Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Recently, certain of our long-standing characteristics have risen to
      &#8216;forward thinking status&#8217;, such as &#8211; <i>vertical
      integration</i> and <i>owner-operator philosophy</i>. While we have
      employed these as our core philosophy since inception, others may have
      recently discovered the soundness of our business/management techniques.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;While &#8216;opportunistic&#8217; in every sense of our being, we are cautiously
      alert to the continuing economic menace and its consequences. Hopefully,
      good news, good results and renewed confidence will rekindle warm
      feelings for all . . . during the upcoming holiday season,&#8221; concluded
      Caporella.
    </p>
