      &#8220;As the soft-drink industry leaders jockey for the Ultimate Strategy &#8211;
      they announce their goal to copy our business model that continues to
      enable our competitive performance. Passion, Aggressiveness and Smarts &#8211;
      usually are not created through the consolidation of balance sheets &#8211;
      sorry to report!&#8221; stated Nick A. Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive
      Officer.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Our focus has been and will continue to aggressively expand Brand &#8211;
      Package &#8211; Distribution opportunities. Our size and brand portfolio also
      affords us the dynamic agility to focus &#8211; and the result is the
      continued performance of our brands, most especially, LaCroix and Rip
      It,&#8221; continued Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;While comments, relative to our excitement about having the best third
      quarter in our history, may be in order &#8211; our caution and the most
      recent severe weather conditions demand . . . modesty. Let&#8217;s just say &#8211;
      we continue to be blessed,&#8221; continued Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Team National&#8217;s dynamic edge and success will be driven by our <i>consumer-centric
      </i>values &#8211; as we continue to be the most competitive, agile,
      innovative beverage <i>meister </i>in our markets. It magnifies the
      process of achieving excellence . . . if heavy sweat and light bleeding
      are involved. That&#8217;s a . . .Yes!&#8221; concluded Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
