"The
arrival of 2007 finds Clearly Canadian with a debt free
balance sheet, a world famous Company spokesperson in two-time
NBA/MVP Steve Nash and a newly launched product line
containing all natural flavors and no preservatives."
Overview
2007 marks a new era for Clearly Canadian, the
company spent much of '06 building the foundation for a
turnaround which it is now putting into operation. From
erasing its debt to having $5 million in the bank, the Company
can now seize on the opportunity to implement a new marketing
strategy along with a new product launch.
Distribution is through independent
distributors that have strong niches in the Alternative
Beverage market, Clearly Canadian feels it can gain deeper
entry into desired markets through these channels. In
addition, Clearly Canadian is actively looking to acquire
other businesses in the organic snack food sector that will
strengthen the distribution of its products. The Company
becomes attractive to distributors by complementing its
product entry into new markets via advertising through the
company spokesperson, two-time reigning NBA/MVP Steve Nash.
The new products within the bottled water
segment include a vitamin drink, an energy drink, a hydration
drink as well as a reformulation of its flavored water drinks.
The labeling is brilliant, by naming the vitamin drinks as
"daily vitamin" and the energy drink as "daily energy" the
company has positioned itself for strong repeat sales.
Clearly Canadian is widely credited with being
a pioneer in starting the Alternative Beverage Industry in
1988. With the rollout of its revamped product line CCBEF is
once again on the cutting edge of the next big thing for a
growing number of health conscious consumers.
In the near future Clearly Canadian looks to
dramatically increase revenues, diversify through acquisition,
establish new distribution lines, expand into Asia and
continue to streamline operations. These actions should help
CCBEF's goal of getting back to the forefront of the
alternative beverage industry a real possibility.
For Clearly Canadian's shareholders, the
amount of revenue these new lines could produce should make a
big splash with investors. Based on the Company's stock chart,
there is already some accumulation taking place and Wall
Street could be warming up to one of the best trading
opportunities of 2007.

Profile
Clearly Canadian (CCBEF) Based in Vancouver, Canada. CCBEF
is a leading producer of premium beverages, including Clearly
Canadian Sparkling Flavored Waters, Clearly Canadian Daily
Vitamin Waters and Clearly Canadian Daily Energy Waters, which
are distributed in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean,
Korea, Indonesia, and other countries.
The Clearly Canadian brand has sold over 90 million cases
equating to over 2 billion bottles worldwide. Its products are
considered “new age” beverages, a category which became
identifiable in the mid-1980s. New age beverages are
distinguishable from traditional soft drinks in that they
generally contain natural ingredients, less sugar, and less or
no carbonation. Clearly Canadian's sparkling waters boast of
all-natural flavors and no preservatives in keeping with
healthier diet trends without sacrificing the same great taste
experience that Clearly Canadian consumers have come to
expect.
CCBEF has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: CC Beverage
(U.S.) Corporation; Clearly Canadian Beverage (International)
Corporation; and Blue Mountain Springs Ltd.
Strategy
Clearly Canadian is focused on creating new premium beverage
brands, developing product extensions and reformulations for
existing brands and strengthening the distribution network
for its products.
Clearly Canadian's restructuring plan, designed to
support the renaissance of Clearly Canadian, is now
complete. CCBEF emerges well positioned to re-establish
itself in the New Age Beverage industry, and the timing
could not be better. This high-margin, high-growth market
segment has broken out into a $14 Billion dollar industry,
and all indications are for continued exponential growth.
The two fastest growing areas of this segment are energy
drinks and organic/health drinks. Clearly Canadian plans to
launch innovative new product lines in each of these (energy
and organic) market segments, supported by eye-catching new
marketing/advertising campaigns and driven through a strong
distribution system.
With the goal of returning to profitability CCBEF has
streamlined operations, significantly lowering fixed
administrative and infrastructure expenditures, this should
provide for much improved margins on their core products;
and new product lines should be the most profitable in
Clearly Canadians history.
The company's recent financings have strengthened the
balance sheet, and allowed the Company to ramp up selling
and marketing efforts for its products. CCBEF is working
with all of their partners and their extensive industry
contacts in order to achieve a higher level of exposure for
the well-known Clearly Canadian brand.
Clearly Canadian feels it is in the right place at the
right time. CCBEF is set to capitalize on the incredible
market opportunity with greater distribution, exciting new
products, a strong balance sheet, lower fixed costs, and a
strong new management team.
What To Look For?
- Dramatically increasing revenues.
- The launch of new enhanced products.
- Diversification through acquisitions of companies that
would compliment its product offerings.
- New distribution lines and strengthening of its foothold
in the beverage sector.
- Expansion into Asia.
- Strengthening of management and sales team.
- Streamlining of operations.
- Possible Airing of TV Series focused on Clearly
Canadian's comeback.
- Possible move to a Nasdaq listing.
Products
The New Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation
is on a mission to recapture a leadership position in the fast
growing "Alternative Beverage" category, a $14 billion market.
Using the Company's strong brand recognition (more than 2
billion bottles sold) and history of delivering great tasting,
innovative products in order to compete for significant market
share of this high margin industry.
CCBEF has recognized the heightened demand in today's
marketplace for healthier food and beverage choices that
provide a lower carbohydrate and calorie choice and still
deliver on taste. They have reformulated Clearly Canadian to
meet the needs of contemporary consumers while staying true to
the legacy of great Clearly Canadian flavors.
In addition to the six natural flavors offered in Clearly
Canadian's Sparkling Flavored Water line, the Company has just
introduced three new product lines. They are dailyEnergy,
dailyVitamin and a certified organic essence water line called
dailyHydration. All are either low or zero-calorie, flavorful,
health conscious offerings.

because it’s packed full of flavor but also gives that
sustainable energy boost you crave. At last, an energy drink
with a gulp-able non-carbonated formulation featuring a bold
raspberry and a refreshing pink grapefruit flavor. Say goodbye

leading energy drinks. Enjoy the full-fruit flavor impact of
dailyENERGY!

Clearly Canadian Original Sparkling Beverages
Each of the thirst-quenching fruit beverages including,
Blackberry, Cherry, Strawberry Melon, Peach, Raspberry Cream
and Orange Pineapple starts with pure, refreshing water. The
line-up of Clearly Canadian naturally flavored sparkling
waters have a remarkable ability to deliver an authentic fruit
flavor experience with each refreshing gulp. How so you ask?
Because they use the skills of their in-house flavor experts
to get the crisp, refreshing taste just right by adding a
variety of robust, all-natural fruit flavors. For sweetness,
Clearly Canadian adds real cane sugar, a natural alternative
to the high-fructose corn syrup typically found in colas and
soft drinks. And, for just a hint of tartness, they add citric
acid, commonly found in lemons, limes and pineapples. (Of
course, no preservatives.)
Clearly Canadian ZERO Sparkling Beverages
Clearly, Carb and Calorie-free. Sweetened with Splenda, the
ZERO sparkling fruit beverages deliver the same crisp,
refreshing taste as the regular sparkling beverages without
calories, carbohydrates or guilt.
History
In 1988, Clearly Canadian sparkling flavored
water captured the taste of a new generation of beverage
consumers. In the process, Clearly Canadian helped pioneer
what is now called the New Age or Alternative Beverage
category, a beverage category where innovation is the single
greatest driver of growth.
Over the years, Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation has
established a reputation for innovation, allowing the Company
to differentiate its products in the marketplace. New products
and dynamic packaging give consumers exciting new reasons to
buy Clearly's brands. Equally important, innovation gives
retailers a compelling reason to feature CCBEF's products
prominently on their shelves.
New, more convenient, more contemporary packages also help
CCBEF stand out from the competition. Packaging has been
extremely important to the success of Clearly Canadian ever
since the brand first hit the shelves in 1988. The original
pear-shaped 11 oz. blue glass bottle stood out dramatically in
a sea of cans and plastic containers. An overnight success,
Clearly Canadian was soon distributed nationally throughout
North America and expanded internationally to Europe and Asia
where the Clearly Canadian phenomenon began anew with
consumers.
Almost overnight, Clearly Canadian found itself competing
against a proliferation of new brands that suddenly entered
the Alternative Beverage category. New segments within this
category such as ready-to-drink iced teas, bottled water and
sport or energy drinks emerged to challenge the sparkling
flavored water segment. Many of these competitors have
faltered or fallen. Many have greatly enlarged the category,
legitimizing alternative beverages as a real brand, not just a
fad.
The arrival of 2007 finds Clearly Canadian with a debt free
balance sheet, a world famous Company spokesperson in two-time
NBA/MVP Steve Nash and a revamped product line containing all
natural flavors and no preservatives. The next chapter in this
great Company's history promises to be very exciting for
investors.
