Financial Overview

“MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.”—

Ernest Shackleton, Advertisement for the Antarctic Expedition.

Quote from Shackleton: “It seemed as though all the men in Great Britain were determined to accompany me, the response was so overwhelming.”

1. Growing our core business - Cane Soda

2. Participating at a high-level in 2 to 3 other product lines that are in high-growth categories

3. Building a great management team

4. Establishing stable financials with a profit plan designed to increase long-term sustained shareholder value

22

Our Four Key Initiatives

Page 23: Bill Meissner President and CEO

1. Reinstatement of Volume-Oriented Pricing Strategies– New pricing matrix that utilizes periods of Trade Spend as a partner to our

retailers.

2. Focus on flavors that consumers are looking for– Jones will always be about unique innovative flavors but we will emphasize and

feature our flavors that have greater consumer appeal.

3. Overhaul of our sales force– Sales team was depleted in early 2010, lacking leadership and direction. Bring

leadership into the group and add accountability and bodies.

4. Move toward hybrid distribution system– Our distribution decisions going forward will be what works best for the retailer,

which means a mix between DSD and direct distribution of our Products.

We are going to challenge consumers to Change their Cola…

• Pure Cane Sugar is HOT!!! "Some consumers prefer sucrose (sugar) or taste reasons, others for nostalgia reasons or because they think of it as a more natural sweetener option," …Pepsi Rep to Consumerist (Oct. 2010)

• HFCS is NOT!!! A study from Princeton published in the February issue of the journal Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior (PDF) shows that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), used as a cheap sweetener in everything from Coke to Progresso soup, is not the same as table sugar, namely for the way that it makes you gain 48% more weight…The Consumerist (March 2011)

• Men’s Health Magazine calls HFCS “The Devil’s Candy”Food companies are adding an evil ingredient to their products that may turn your body into a fat-storing machine

• Pure Cane Coke sales have increased 84.6% vs YAG per Nielsen

• True Cola lovers appreciate the clean taste of Pure Cane Cola
