Clearly Canadian Announces First
Quarter 2008 Financial Results, Conference Call and Web-Cast
70% Revenue Increase over First
Quarter 2007
TORONTO--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--CLEARLY CANADIAN (OTCBB: CCBEF - News) (the “Company”) today announced revenue results for the first quarter 2008.
1st Quarter 2008 Financial
Filing
Total revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 were up 70% year-over-year to $2.47 million
compared to $1.47 million for the same period in 2007. The company’s recently
acquired healthy snack foods and organic baby foods divisions, which were
acquired in February and May of 2007 respectively, account for this revenue
growth. The company also reported cash on hand of $5,446,000.
Bobby Genovese, Chairman
of the Board and CEO of Clearly Canadian Brands stated, “We are very pleased
to announce that we continue to grow top line revenues at an accelerated
pace (70%), while significantly reducing our cash burn rate. This is a
direct result of properly positioning the company in the rapidly expanding
healthy food and beverage industry, and all of our divisions beginning
to work from the same infrastructure. We will continue to incur some non-recurring
expenses thru the 2nd qtr as our consolidation of operations to Toronto
is completed. However our model is already working as evidenced by our
loss after non-cash, non-recurring items, interest and penalty expenses
and interest income falling to $1,128,000 from $1,530,000 on significantly
higher revenues. This trend should continue and in fact accelerate going
forward, and we continue to see our operations being cash flow positive
for 2009 and beyond. We continue to be on track to meet our revenue projections
for existing operations of approximately $16 million for 2008 (a 50% plus
increase over 2007), and are looking at numerous promising acquisition
opportunities. With all divisions now pointing towards profitability the
company does not anticipate needing any further funding at this time. We
have yet to launch our beverage initiatives planned for this year or our
snack divisions’ intended expansion into the U.S. marketplace, each expected
to begin by the end of the 2nd qtr. We will continue to pursue opportunities
to expand our footprint into the natural and organic marketplace, in order
to capitalize on our existing highly effective distribution and selling
agreements into this rapidly expanding sector.”
Mr. Genovese further
stated, “All of our divisions are being challenged by the significant cost
increases in shipping and delivering our products. I can assure you these
challenges are being addressed and should not have as significant of an
affect on our margins going forward. We feel confident that we are now
well positioned to significantly increase profitability in our beverage
division in 2008 and beyond. We are extremely pleased with the progress
made toward our stated goals for a North American wide move to a more profitable
delivery system and feel we are set to compete with a distinct product
in the vast beverage market. We realize the tremendous opportunities available
for Clearly Canadian Brands and remain committed towards our goal of significantly
increasing revenues, while consistently improving profitability. This will
be accomplished through becoming a major competitor in the natural and
organic food sectors and a prominent participant in the healthy beverage
category.”
Conference Call and
Web-Cast
The Company will hold
a conference call to discuss its financial results on June 4th 2008 at
4:05 p.m. EST. The live phone call-in number is 800-954-0684. The conference

The NEW Clearly Canadian: A Family of Healthy Choices
Clearly Canadian’s recent acquisitions mark the company’s debut
to entirely new and exciting food and beverage categories. This new
direction began with the February 2007 acquisition of DMR
Food Corporation (Sweet
Selections) - a leading provider of natural and organic snack foods.

and nut snacks under the following brand names:
- Naturalife

Clearly, this has opened up some complementary snacking options
to go with Clearly Canadian’s premium line-up of beverages. In May
2007, the company acquired My Organic Baby Inc. – Canada’s first full nationwide line of organic baby food. This
innovative and fast growing line has over 30 product offerings listed in
leading baby food retailers across the country and expanding to the US.
Intuitively, Organic Baby Inc. recognizes the notion that our children deserve the best quality nourishment
possible. Organic farming is the purest practical way to minimize
chemicals in food, environmental impact, combined with the highest standards
of animal welfare. My Organic Baby is in a great position to capture
the family’s desire for organic products for their children. The
innovative and fast growing line consists of over 30 product offerings:
- Strained Foods
- Juice
- Cereal
