Clearly Canadian Seeks Additional Funding.

Business Editors

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 29, 2003

Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation (OTCBB:CCBC) (TSX:CLV) reports that it is continuing to work with its financial advisor, MNC Multinational of Montreal, in an attempt to secure a strategic partnership and additional working capital funding for the Company. Also, the Company is pursuing the opportunity of selling certain business units and assets in an effort to raise more funding for operating activities.

Although the Company is optimistic with its prospects for its beverage products for 2004 and beyond, the Company will require additional immediate and long term financing in order to implement its current strategic business plan and maintain current and ongoing operations. The Company's 2004 business plan will focus on expanding sales for its core brand, Clearly Canadian(R) sparkling flavoured water, and will be supported by the significant reorganization made to the Company's distribution system and sales team in 2003.

Based in Vancouver, B.C., Clearly Canadian markets premium alternative beverages and products, including Clearly Canadian(R) sparkling flavored water, Clearly Canadian O+2(R) and Tre Limone(R) which are distributed in the United States, Canada and various other countries. Clearly Canadian also holds the exclusive license to manufacture, distribute and sell certain Reebok beverage products in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
