 -- Shareholder Update Recaps Significant Recent Corporate Developments:

Dear Shareholders:

As the President of Clearly Canadian This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article.  Beverage Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
: CCBEF CCBEF Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation (Canada) ), I would like to thank you for your interest and support. On behalf of all our employees and management team, I can tell you that we are enthusiastic about the exciting developments at Clearly Canadian so far in 2006.

The excitement has begun for the new Clearly Canadian. We have commenced the extensive re-launch of our core brand Clearly Canadian, sparkling, flavoured adj. 1. same as flavored; - of foods.  waters. This re-launch consists of refreshing new packaging (see attached sheet) that trades on the heritage of this long-standing brand, original flavours being marketed with the motto "Back to the Flavour (jargon) flavour - (US: flavor) 1. Variety, type, kind. "DDT commands come in two flavors." "These lights come in two flavors, big red ones and small green ones." See vanilla.

2. The attribute that causes something to be flavourful.
", and two new zero calorie/zero carbohydrate flavours. The re-launch will be supported by exciting new marketing and advertising campaigns designed by The Brainstorm Group, a fantastic advertising team with high profile beverage industry client's such as Mike's Hard Lemonade and Molson Canadian.

I am pleased to announce that the month of April was the best year over year revenue improvement month in five years, with a gain of over 33%. This puts year to date revenues well ahead of 2005. Our corporate restructuring plan, designed to support the renaissance of Clearly Canadian is well under way. During the past year, approximately $8 million has come into the Company through equity placements and debt conversion. This has increased our working capital and greatly improved our ability to affect top line growth. We have expanded our distribution system, having signed a system-wide agreement with the Dr. Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group, Inc., which provides Clearly Canadian with much greater sales, marketing and promotional opportunities throughout the U.S. Mid-West, U.S. South and U.S. West regions. We have also brought new key personnel to the Company with the appointment of Leo Leo, in astronomy

 Novosel, a former Snapple Zone Vice President, as Director of Sales, and Sonia Manson, a former Brand Manager for Canada's leading bakery, as our new Marketing Manager.

Another significant step forward for the Company is the recent formation of our Clearly Canadian Advisory Board which we will use for expert and experienced advice on all aspect of our business. We are honored that prominent investment newsletter editor Mr. James Dines of the "The Dines Letter" has accepted an invitation to chair the Advisory Board. Mr. Dines has been a strong proponent One who offers or proposes.

PROPONENT, eccl. law.
 of the benefits of natural, healthy consumer products, especially water and has stated "I believe that Clearly Canadian's plans to introduce exciting new water based products in 2006 and to continue to increase the availability of its products will be the catalyst to increased shareholder value going forward." Joining Mr. Dines on the Advisory Board is Mr. Brian O'Byrne, former president of Yoo-hoo/Orangina Beverage Company. Mr. O'Byrne has many years of experience in running profitable beverage companies and will be a tremendous asset to us.

I believe that Clearly Canadian is poised to re-establish itself in the alternative beverage category. And, our timing could not be better. This high-growth market segment, with such names as Monster, Red Bull and Vitamin Water has broken out into a $14 billion dollar industry and all indications are for continued exponential growth Extremely fast growth. On a chart, the line curves up rather than being straight. Contrast with linear. .
