EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this Amendment No. 3 to our Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, originally filed on June 30, 2006 (“Original Report”), to (1) include the audit report of KPMG LLP on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and their consent, (2) amend and enhance the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003 in response to review procedures undertaken during the course of the 2003 re-audit, and (3) make confirming changes, and correct some non-substantive formatting and typographical errors, in the body of the Annual Report.

These amendments and enhancements include amending Note 20 “Reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America”by:

  i)

adding stock based compensation expense of $23,000 as a reconciling item in fiscal 2004, thereby decreasing both the loss for the year and comprehensive loss under United States GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2004 by an equivalent amount,

     
  ii)

recognizing unrealized gains on long term investments of $195,000 and $14,000 in 2005 and 2004 respectively as amounts to be included in the calculation of comprehensive loss for the respective years rather than as a component of loss for those years. The effect is to increase loss for the year in the amounts and for the years indicated above.

     
  iii)

adding loss per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding disclosure under United States GAAP for each of the three years presented.

     
  iv)

adding pro forma disclosure in Note 20(e) as required by SFAS 123 for stock option expense of $23,000 and $221,000 for fiscal 2004 and 2003 respectively,

     
  v)

adding disclosure by Note 20(g)for the amount of rental expense incurred and included in the calculation of loss for the year for each of the three years presented.

There are also reclassifications and amendments to the presentation:

  vi)

of certain component numbers in Supplementary Cash Flow Information Notes 18(b) and (c), which reclassifications and amendments do not impact on the totals presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

     
  vii)

of certain component amounts in Corporate Income Taxes Payable, which do not affect total income tax expense for the year but are made to recognize the correct statutory rate of tax for 2003 to be 37% rather than the 39% rate previously reported.

Certain additional changes in the presentation only of amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have also been made to enhance cross referencing within the financial statements by the reader.

This Form 20-F/A includes all of the information contained in the Original Report, and we have made no attempt in this Form 20-F/A to modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Report, except as identified above. The disclosures in this Form 20-F/A continue to speak as of the date of the Original Report, and do not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Form 20 F/A should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings. The filing of this Form 20-F/A shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Report when made included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business strategies, market conditions, outlook and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management including, but not limited to, certain statements and projections concerning our plans, intentions, strategies, expectations, predictions, financial projections, assumptions and estimates related to accounting policies, concerning the our future activities and results of operations and other future events or conditions. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current facts and analyses and include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • the effect of certain transactions, including marketing arrangements and product distribution system changes, on our revenues and results of operations in future periods;
  • our discussions with potential new customers and the status of these discussions;
  • our ability to secure additional financing and improve operating cash flow to allow it to continue as a going concern;
  • application of critical accounting policies and the effect of recent accounting pronouncements on our results of operations;
  • our focus on key long-term objectives, including diversifying its new age beverage product lines, maintaining and expanding current market share, and improving its network of distributors;
  • the sufficiency and availability of our supply of raw materials and water, distribution network, contract bottling supplier facilities and property, plant and equipment related to our operations; and
  • other statements related to our business and results of operations.

Forward looking statements are made based on management’s reasonable beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made. However, these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to support capital expansion plans and general operating activities; changing beverage consumption trends of consumers; competition; pricing and availability of raw materials; our ability to maintain the current and future retail listings for its beverages and to maintain favourable supply arrangements and relationships

and procure timely and adequate production of our products; laws and regulations and changes thereto that may affect the way our products are manufactured, distributed and sold; and political and economic uncertainties including exchange controls, currency fluctuations, taxation and other laws or governmental economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies of Canada, the United States and foreign countries affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation and other factors beyond our reasonable control, which, in turn, could affect our current or future operations. See “Key Information – Risk Factors”. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this filing.

Based on weighted average shares outstanding. For accounting purposes, there were 6,864,352 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2005 (not including 37,300 shares owned by us, as previously acquired under normal course issuer bids).

   
(2)

During the year ended December 31, 2001, our wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation (“CC Beverage”), entered into agreements to sell certain of its business assets (see “Item 4. Information on the Company – History and Development of the Company”). The divestiture related to two business segments: its home and office five- gallon water business (which sale was completed in April 2001) and its private label co-pack bottling business, Cascade Clear business and related production assets (which sale was completed in February 2002). For reporting purposes, the results and the assets and liabilities of these two business segments have been presented as “discontinued operations”, and our other operations re shown as “continuing operations.” Accordingly, prior year figures have been restated to reflect this change.

Currency Translations

Effective December 31, 1997, we adopted the U.S. dollar as our reporting currency. The assets and liabilities of our Canadian operations are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange for the periods of operation. All references in this Annual Report, including our financial statements, to “dollars” or “$” are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The following table sets out the exchange rates for the conversion of one Canadian dollar into U.S. dollars in effect at the end of the following periods, and the average exchange rates (based on the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month in such periods) and the range of high and low exchange rates for such periods.

D. Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from results projected in any forward-looking statement in this report. These risks should be carefully considered because such factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. The following factors contain certain forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Our Business

There is a risk to our operating as a going-concern. If we cannot fund our operations from revenues or financing efforts, we may have to change our business plan, significantly reduce or suspend our operations, sell or merge our business.

Our financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we are a going concern and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business; however, certain events and conditions cast substantial doubt on this assumption. We had a loss of $6,069,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and had a working capital deficit of $446,000, an accumulated deficit of $68,714,000 and a shareholders’ equity of $1,724,000 at year-end. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we also had a loss of $5,531,000 and had a working capital deficit of $4,370,000, an accumulated deficit of $62,334,000 and a shareholders’ deficiency of $3,515,000. Operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 have been funded primarily from the issuance of capital stock and the continued support of creditors.

Management has continued to take steps to try to improve our financial results and cash flows. These steps include relinquishing our right to take water from a well site in Innisfill, Ontario and the sale of certain of our equipment at the well site for a total price of Cnd$400,000. Additionally, we completed a corporate restructuring and raised approximately $6.5 million of equity financing to fund working capital requirements (see “Item 4. Information on the Company – Corporate Restructuring”). Nonetheless, we may need to seek additional sources of debt and/or equity financing in the future to fund its operations and working capital requirements.

The financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

We have a history of operating losses which are likely to continue unless we significantly increase sales volume and maintain fixed and variable costs.

We incurred net losses of $6,069,000 (including a writedown of property, plant and equipment of $382,000) during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to net loss during the year ended December 31, 2004 of $5,531,000 (including a writedown of property, plant and equipment of $721,000 and distribution rights of $1,536,000), and net loss of $3,713,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 (including write down of property, plant and equipment of $272,000 and distribution rights of $500,000). We may incur additional losses during the year ending December 31, 2006. We believe that to operate at a profit we must significantly increase the sales volume for our

-5-


products, achieve and maintain efficiencies in operations, maintain fixed costs at or near current levels and avoid significant increases in variable costs relating to production, marketing and distribution. Our ability to significantly increase sales from current levels will depend primarily on success in maintaining and/or increasing market share and availability for our Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water and expanding distribution of our other beverage product lines into new geographic distribution areas, particularly in the United States and Canada. Our ability to successfully enter new distribution areas will, in turn, depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the continued demand for our current brands and products in target markets, the ability to price our products at levels competitive with competing products, the ability to establish and maintain relationships with distributors in each geographic area of distribution and the ability in the future to create, develop and successfully introduce new brands and products.

We have experienced a trend of declining revenue and may never be profitable.

We have experienced a declining revenue trend since 1998 and earlier. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we had sales revenues of $9,141,000, compared to revenues of $11,586,000 in 2004, $13,270,000 in 2003, $20,205,000 in 2002, $23,257,000 in 2001 and $23,247,000 in 2000. This declining revenue trend occurred while the industry for the new age beverage category, according to Beverage Marketing Corporation of New York, has grown in market size in the United States from $3.8 billion in wholesale dollar sales in 1992 to $14.7 billion in 2003 (on volumes of 4.6 billion gallons). Competition has intensified in the new age beverage category and we compete for market share against some companies with substantially greater marketing, personnel, distribution and production resources. In an effort to compete over the past five years, we spent substantial resources marketing and repositioning our Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water brand and introducing new brands, including Clearly Canadian O+2®, Tré Limone® and Reebok Fitness Water beverage products. Despite such marketing efforts, we had only limited success with the Tré Limone® and Reebok beverage products and we no longer market either of these products. We may not be successful in reversing the declining revenue trend, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues from sales to return to profitability.

Dependence on key management employees.

Our business is dependent upon the continued support of existing senior management, including our President, Brent Lokash. Mr. Lokash was appointed as our President on September 29, 2005 following the resignation of Douglas Mason as President, and he has been responsible for our business planning, corporate and brand initiatives and financings. The loss of Mr. Lokash, or any key members of our existing management, could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Our operations may be adversely affected by exchange controls, currency fluctuations, taxation laws and other laws or policies of Canada, the United States or other countries.

Our operations are carried out primarily in Canada and in the U.S., with less significant operations in other countries. Such operations and the associated capital investments could be adversely affected by exchange controls, currency fluctuations, taxation laws and other laws or policies of Canada, the United States and other countries affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation, which, in turn, could affect our current or future foreign operations.

Our future operating results are subject to a number of uncertainties.

Our future operating results are subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to market our beverage products and to develop and introduce new products, our ability to penetrate new markets, the marketing efforts of distributors and retailers of our products, most of which also distribute or sell products that are competitive with our products, the number, quantity and marketing forces behind products introduced by competitors and laws and regulations and any changes thereto, especially those that may affect the way in which our products are marketed and produced, as well as laws or regulations that are enforceable by such regulatory authorities as the Food and Drug Administration.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities.

As Canadian citizens and residents, our directors and officers may not subject themselves to U.S. legal proceedings so that recovery on judgments issued by U.S. courts may be difficult or impossible. While reciprocal enforcement of judgment legislation exists between Canada and the U.S., Clearly Canadian and its insiders may have defences available to avoid in Canada the effect of U.S. judgments under Canadian law, making enforcement difficult or impossible. Our management may not have any personal assets available in the U.S. to satisfy judgments of U.S. courts. Therefore, our shareholders in the United States may have to avail themselves of remedies under Canadian corporate and securities laws for perceived oppression, breach of fiduciary duty and like legal complaints. Canadian law may not provide for remedies equivalent to those available under U.S. law.

Our results of operations have fluctuated and are likely to continue to fluctuate.

Our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and are likely to continue to fluctuate from period to period depending on a number of factors, including the timing and receipt of significant product orders, increased cost in the completion of product orders, increased competition, regulatory and other developments in our markets, changes in the demand for our products, the cancellation of product orders, difficulties in collection of receivables, the timing of new product introductions, changes in pricing policies by us and our competitors, delays in the introduction of products by us, expenses associated with the acquisition of production resources and raw materials from third parties, the mix of sales of our products, seasonality of customer purchases, personnel changes, political and economic uncertainty, the mix of international and North American revenue, tax policies, foreign currency exchange rates and general economic and political conditions.

We believe that economic developments and trends have adversely affected and may continue to affect levels of consumer spending in the markets that we serve. We believe that these and other factors have adversely affected demand for our products. While we believe that economic conditions in certain of our markets show signs of improvement, we also believe that economic conditions and general trends are likely to continue to affect demand for premium priced beverage products such as we produce and sell. Such factors may also increase the amount of doubtful accounts or adversely affect the likelihood of collection of such accounts with third parties, such as distributors and retailers, to whom we sells products.

Because we are unable to forecast with certainty the receipt of orders for products and our expense levels are relatively fixed and are based, in part, upon our expectation of future revenue, if revenue levels fall below expectations, operating results are likely to be adversely affected. As a result, net income may be disproportionately affected because a relatively small amount of our expenses vary with our revenue.

Based on all of the foregoing factors, we believe that our quarterly and annual revenue, direct expenses and operating results are likely to vary significantly in the future, that period-to-period comparisons of the results of operations may not necessarily be meaningful and that such comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Our intellectual property rights are critical to its success, and the loss of such rights could materially and adversely affect our business.

We regard our trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to our success and we attempt to protect such property with registered and common law trademarks and copyrights, restrictions on disclosure and other actions to forestall infringement. We rely on a combination of trademark and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. In the past, we have licensed elements of our distinctive trademarks, trade dress and similar proprietary rights to third parties, and we anticipate that we may license such elements in the future as well. While we attempt to ensure that the quality of our brand is maintained by such licensees, no assurances can be given that such licensees will not take actions that might materially and adversely affect the value of our proprietary rights or the reputation of our products, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, trade dress and similar proprietary rights. Despite our precautions, some or all of the trade secrets and other know-how that we consider proprietary

-7-


could be independently developed, could otherwise become known by others or could be deemed to be in the public domain. If we lose some or all of our intellectual property rights, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Increases in the cost of packaging and raw materials could reduce profits.

We spend significant amounts on packaging for our products. We consider packaging to be an important component in the sale of our products. Packaging has been very important to our success and helps to distinguish our products from those of our competitors. We purchase our primary packaging supplies, including bottles, caps, preforms, labels and trays from outside vendors. In addition, we purchase a significant portion of the ingredients needed to produce our products, including sweeteners and carbon dioxide, from outside vendors. We rely on our ongoing relationships with key suppliers to support our operations. If the cost of our packaging or raw materials increases significantly, the total cost of our products would increase significantly, which could adversely affect the sales of our products, as well as our financial performance.

We have made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from anticipated results should such estimates and/or assumptions prove to be materially incorrect or inaccurate. We believe that the information herein (see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Application of Critical Accounting Policies” and “Note 2” to financial statements) addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and beyond our control.

Our directors, officers, promoters and other members of management may serve as directors, officers, promoters and other members of management of other companies, therefore it is possible that a conflict of interest may arise.

Certain of our directors, officers, and other members of management, including Brent Lokash, Matthew J. Hoogendoorn, Andrew Strang, David Parkes, Cameron Strang and Marco Markin, presently serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other companies and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of Clearly Canadian and their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies.

Our directors and officers are aware of the existence of laws governing accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity and requiring disclosures by directors of conflicts of interest and we will rely upon such laws in respect of any directors’ and officers’ conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of our directors or officers. All such conflicts will be disclosed in accordance with the provisions of applicable corporate legislation and directors or officers will govern themselves in respect thereof to the best of their ability in accordance with the obligations imposed upon them by law.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Our industry is very competitive and we may not be able to achieve long term successes.

Our products compete with a number of established brands and new products that target the same market as we do. We compete against major manufacturers of both traditional and new age beverages (See “Item 4. Information on the Company – Products”), many with substantially greater marketing, cash, distribution, production, technical and other resources than us. Although the size of the new age beverage market has grown, the competition and number of brands has also increased. There can be no assurance that future growth of the new age beverage market will

-8-


result in increased demand for our products. Our market distribution and penetration may be limited as competition increases. Based on industry information, the product lifecycle for beverage brands and products may be limited to a few years in a geographic distribution area before consumers’ taste preferences change. The development of new products requires a significant investment of capital and there can be no assurance that such new products, when introduced, will be accepted by consumers. Our current products are in varying stages of their lifecycles. We expect that these lifecycles will vary from product to product, and there can be no assurance that such products will either become or remain profitable for us. A failure or inability to introduce new brands, products or product extensions into the marketplace as existing products mature would likely prevent us from achieving long-term profitability.

We are dependent on the distribution services of independent distributors in order to distribute and sell its beverage products to retailers and consumers.

We rely, to a significant extent, on the distribution services of independent distributors in order to distribute and sell our beverage products to retailers and consumers. Over recent years, we have observed an increased consolidation of distribution services within the new age beverage industry. Traditional soft drink companies, which also own or operate distribution companies that provide distribution services to new age beverage companies, have acquired or developed new age beverage products. As a result of these developments, distribution companies that previously operated independently from the traditional soft drink companies are less willing to distribute and sell other companies’ new age beverage products, especially if such products compete with the products that the traditional soft drink companies now have within their portfolio of beverages. In view of these developments, we have attempted to align ourselves with distribution companies that are not restricting their distribution services to beverage products which they own or are otherwise connected with.

Our industry is heavily regulated and we must be in compliance with current and changing rules and regulations.

The production and marketing of our beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production run is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, thus adversely affecting our financial condition and operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any non-compliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we cannot anticipate whether and to what degree changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business.

We may be unable to maintain our market share and as a result our financial performance may suffer.

The beverage consumption trends of consumers are subject to constant change, whether due to taste, price, marketing, competitive factors, social trends or fads or other factors, many of which are beyond our ability to reasonably predict or control. There is no assurance that consumers will continue to purchase our products in the future. Additionally, many of our products are marketed as premium products and are sold at premium prices. Consumers may perceive the pricing of our products as not affordable. To maintain market share, we need to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences, and we may also have to reduce profit margins which would adversely affect our prospects and results of operations. If we are unable to adequately respond to changing consumer preferences, our market share will decline, our revenues will decline and our financial condition will be adversely affected.

The beverage industry is subject to seasonal variations in demand.

Sales of beverage products are subject to seasonal variations in demand. For example, consumers in North America typically consume fewer beverage products in the late fall, winter and early spring months. As a result, our sales and results of operations vary seasonally and such variations may be significant.

Risks Related to our Capital Stock

BG Capital Group beneficially owns a majority of the voting power and effectively controls our company, which could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders.

BG Capital Group Ltd. is the holder of 2,000,000 (100% of class) of our Class B Preferred shares, and as of June 15, 2006, beneficially owned approximately 57% of our outstanding voting power. Accordingly, this single shareholder can influence the outcome of shareholder votes, involving the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in our articles of association and the approval of mergers or other similar transactions, such as a sale of substantially all of our assets. Such control by BG Capital could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company.

In addition, we have a shareholders’ rights plan and super majority approval requirements, each of which may prevent or delay a change of control.

Future financings and exercise of the outstanding options and warrants could result in significant dilution to our shareholders.

During 2006 we completed several private placements, resulting in the issuance of common and preferred shares and common share warrants. Additionally, we may need to seek additional sources of debt or equity financings in the future to fund our operations and working capital requirements. As we issue stock or convertible securities in the future, including for any future financing, those issuances would also dilute our shareholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing shareholders. Furthermore, if additional shares are issued or if we acquire other businesses through the sale of equity securities, our shareholders’ will be diluted.

In addition, we have reserved, in aggregate, 1,750,000 common shares for issuance upon exercise of options under our 2005 Stock Option Plan, and 10,000,000 common shares for issuance upon exercise of options or other stock-based awards under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. As of June 15, 2006, we had granted options exercisable to acquire up to 2,192,342 common shares under these plans at exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $12.26 per share. As of June 15, 2006, there are outstanding warrants to purchase up to 5,211,525 shares at exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $2.25 per share. The issuance of shares under either of our stock plans or upon exercise of any of the outstanding stock purchase warrants will also dilute our shareholders.

Our shares have experienced significant price volatility and continued volatility may adversely affect the price of our common shares.

Our common share price has experienced significant price volatility, with trading prices on the OTC Bulletin Board ranging from $4.50 (high) to $1.60 (low) during the year ended December 31, 2004, from $2.50 (high) to $1.10 (low) during the year ended December 31, 2005, and from $3.95 (high) to $2.11 (low) during the period from January 1, 2006 to June 20, 2006. There are many reasons for fluctuations in trading, including announcements of developments related to our business, fluctuations in operating results, failure to meet investor expectations, general conditions in the beverage industry and the worldwide economy, announcements of innovations, new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors, acquisitions and divestitures, changes in governmental regulations, developments in licensing arrangements and changes in relationships with trade partners and suppliers. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for small capitalization stocks in particular, has experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Such fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

-10-


Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of the common stock and make it difficult for shareholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, an investor in our common stock may have difficulty reselling his or her shares.

Because our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” our shareholders’ ability to sell or buy shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.

Our common stock is subject to certain rules and regulations relating to “penny stock.” A “penny stock” is generally defined as any equity security that has a price less than $5.00 per share and that is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market or a national securities exchange. Being a penny stock generally means that any broker who wants to trade in our shares (other than with established clients and certain institutional investors) must comply with certain “sales practice requirements,” including delivery to the prospective purchaser of the penny stock a risk disclosure document describing the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. In addition, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a “penny stock,” which steps include:

  • obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;
  • obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and
  • providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares.

If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our common stock, and as a practical matter, these requirements may mean that brokers are less likely to make recommendations on our shares to its general clients.

As a result, for as long as our common stock is subject to these penny stock rules, our shareholders may have difficulty in selling their shares in the secondary trading market. In addition, prices for shares of our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock were quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market or traded on a national securities exchange, like The New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

Name and Incorporation

Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) by registration of its memorandum and articles under the name of Cambridge Development Corporation on March 18, 1981. We subsequently changed our name to Bridgewest Development Corporation on October 28, 1983, to BDC Industries Corp. on November 15, 1984 and to The Jolt Beverage Company, Ltd. on September 3, 1986. On December 14, 1987, The Jolt Beverage Company, Ltd. amalgamated with Interbev Packaging Corp. and Brewmaster Systems Ltd. and on May 13, 1988 we changed our name to The International Beverage Corporation. We adopted our current name on May 14, 1990. We are now governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

-11-


Our corporate head office is presently located at 2267 10th Avenue W., Vancouver, British Columbia V6K 2J1 (telephone no: (604) 742-5300) and our registered and records offices are located at 1100 - 888 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3K4. We do not have an agent in the U.S.

Subsidiaries

We have three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation; (ii) Clearly Canadian Beverage (International) Corporation; and (iii) Blue Mountain Springs Ltd. During fiscal 2005, we dissolved our former subsidiary, 542674 Alberta Ltd. CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation (“CC Beverage”) handles our operational business in the United States, which includes the distribution and sale of Clearly Canadian® beverages. CC Beverage is a Washington corporation that was formed on December 31, 1998 through the merger of our two U.S. subsidiaries, Clearly Canadian Beverage (U.S.) Corporation (a Wyoming corporation established in 1994) and Cascade Clear Water Co. (a Washington corporation established in 1990). Cascade Clear Water Co. was formed through the merger on January 29, 1998 of Clearly Acquisition Corp. (a wholly-owned Washington subsidiary) and Cascade Clear Water Co., an existing Washington corporation.

Clearly Canadian Beverage (International) Corporation (“Clearly International”) was incorporated on April 7, 1987 pursuant to the laws of Barbados. In 1988, Clearly International acquired the distribution rights for our beverage products for all countries other than Canada, the United States and the Caribbean. In 1999, Clearly International assigned certain of its international distribution rights and responsibilities to CC Beverage.

Blue Mountain Springs Ltd., which we acquired on September 24, 1996, owns certain property interests in Ontario which may be a potential future source of water for our products.

Private Placements and Corporate Restructuring

During fiscal year 2005, we entered into an agreement with BG Capital Group Ltd. (“BG Capital”) whereby BG Capital agreed to facilitate certain financings necessary for us to continue and expand our business, as well as to provide management support and assist in implementing changes to our corporate organization and operation with the objective of providing us with the opportunity to grow and succeed in the future.

The following is a summary of the private placement financings and related corporate restructuring implemented during fiscal 2005:

  • On February 9, 2005, we entered into a loan agreement and demand note with BG Capital Group Ltd., pursuant to which BG Capital Group Ltd. loaned $1 million to us. The loan bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum and was due and payable within 90 days, upon demand.
  • On April 1, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with BG Capital Group Ltd., pursuant to which BG Capital Group Ltd. agreed to provide to us certain consulting services, including assistance with accounting, financing and cash flow management as well as advice relating to our corporate restructuring, future financing requirements and on-going strategic planning. In consideration for such services, we agreed to pay to BG Capital Group Ltd. 10,000 shares of our common stock, payable monthly in arrears, at a deemed price of $1.00 per share with a 90 day termination clause. This contract was terminated on March 15, 2006 with a total of 140,000 common shares owing under the contract to BG Capital for services rendered pursuant to the agreement.
  • On May 2, 2005, following approval by our shareholders at the Annual and Special General Meeting held on April 29, 2005, we effected a 1:10 reverse stock split on our issued and outstanding common stock, and as a result of the reverse split, 10,430,682 issued and outstanding common shares were consolidated into 1,043,068 post-reverse split common shares. Effective May 5, 2005, our common shares began trading on the OTCBB on a post-reverse-split basis under the new trading symbol “CCBEF.”
  • Also on May 2, 2005, following approval by our shareholders at the Annual and Special General Meeting held on April 29, 2005, we (a) increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 common shares, without par value, to an unlimited number of common shares, without par value, (b) cancelled our 10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $1.00 per share (of which no

-12-


    preferred shares were issued and outstanding), (c) created 2,000,000 Class A Preferred shares and 2,000,000 Class B Preferred shares.
  • On May 5, 2005, BG Capital Group Ltd. converted its $1 million loan into 1,000,000 Class A Preferred shares at a price of $1.00 per share, and concurrently we sold to BG Capital Group Ltd. an additional 1,000,000 Class A Preferred shares at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. Also on May 5, 2005, we decreased the size of the Board of Directors from eight to five directors, and three nominees of BG Capital Group Ltd., Marco Markin, Brent Lokash and Cameron Strang, were appointed to the Board.
  • On May 16, 2005, we completed a brokered private placement of 1,010,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share with Standard Securities Capital Corporation, for gross proceeds of $1,010,000. We also completed a non-brokered private placement of 2,065,000 common shares, for gross proceeds of $2,065,000. The non-brokered private placement was completed in two issuances, with the first issuance of 1,250,000 shares on May 16, 2005 and the second issuance of 815,000 shares on May 25, 2005, all such shares were issued at a price of $1.00 per share.
  • On May 24, 2005, we issued 207,506 common shares to BG Capital Group Ltd. in respect of dividends payable on the Class A and the Class B Preferred Shares. Also, on May 24, 2005, we issued 450,000 shares to BG Capital Group Ltd. as a finder’s fee in connection with our recently completed private placements.
  • On May 24, 2005, BG Capital Group Ltd. exchanged its 2,000,000 Class A Preferred shares for 2,000,000 Class B Preferred shares. The Class B Preferred shares are convertible, in whole but not in part, into such number of our common shares as would equal 50% of the number of our fully diluted common shares immediately prior to such conversion.
  • On May 27, 2005, we completed an additional non-brokered private placement pursuant to which we issued 635,953 common shares at $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $635,953. Directors, officers, and employees of our company subscribed for 585,953 shares. Prior to this additional financing, we redeemed all of the outstanding convertible debentures and debenture holders who held a majority of the debentures reinvested their debenture redemption proceeds in this private placement.
  • On November 23, 2005, we entered into an amendment of the loan agreement with Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc., pursuant to which Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan to May 2, 2006. Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. also agreed to convert Cdn$500,000 of the principal amount of the loan into our common shares at a conversion price of US$2.00 per share. The remaining Cdn$500,000 of the principal amount is convertible at US$2.00 per share at the option of Global (GMPC) Holdings Ltd. As consideration for the amendment, we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock to Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. agreed that no interest will be payable on the remaining principal amount of the loan.
  • On December 28, 2005, we completed a non-brokered private placement of units with four investors, BG Capital Group Ltd., Douglas L. Mason, a director, Brent Lokash, our President and a director, and Gladys Jenks, for an aggregate purchase price of $1 million. The private placement units consisted of an aggregate of 800,000 shares of our common stock, 5,000,000 Series A share purchase warrants, 5,000,000 Series B share purchase warrants, 5,000,000 Series C share purchase warrants and 5,000,000 Series D share purchase warrants.

Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2005, through June 15, 2006, we completed additional restructurings and private placements, as follows:

  • On February 1, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, providing for the grant of up to 10,000,000 common stock based awards.
  • On February 27, 2006, we issued 100,000 common shares to Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. upon conversion of Cdn$222,570 of the principal remaining of its loan to us.
  • On March 16, 2006, we held a special general meeting of shareholders, at which the shareholders approved (a) the re-designation of the common shares as “Limited Voting Shares” and (b) the creation of a class of “Variable Multiple Voting Shares.” Holders of Variable Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to multiple votes at all meetings of common shareholders, and the number of votes attached to each Variable Multiple Voting Share is equal to the greater of (i) ten and (ii) ten times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of issued common shares and the denominator of which is the number of issued common shares on March 16, 2006. To date no Variable Multiple Voting Shares have been issued. See “Item 10. Additional Information – Memorandum and Articles of Association” below.

-13-


  • On May 30, 2006, we announced the completion of a series of non-brokered private placements for a total sale of 1,312,500 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2,625,000. In connection with the financing, we are paying finders’ fees by issuing warrants, vesting immediately and expiring in one year, to purchase 91,525 common shares at a purchase price of $2.25 per share and paying cash of $313,800, of which $130,750 is being paid to BG Capital Group Ltd., our controlling shareholder. BG Capital is entitled to return its portion of the finder’s fee to us, within one year, in return for being issued an equivalent amount in common shares based on a price of $2.00 per share. As a condition of the financing, the participants in the $1,000,000 private placement which we completed in December 2005 have agreed to surrender all but 4,120,000 warrants of their 20,000,000 warrants issued with that private placement.
  • On June 7, 2006, we relinquished our right to take water from the Thornton well site in Innisfill and sold our water equipment and storage tanks at the Thornton well site for Cdn$400,000.

Capital Expenditures

A discussion of our principal capital expenditures over the last three years may be found under “Results of Operations” and under “Cash used in Investing Activities” in Item 5. A description of the principal capital expenditures currently in progress or planned for the coming year may be found in “Item 4. Information on the Company – Business Overview” below in this Annual Report.

B. Business Overview

We are in the business of producing, distributing and marketing premium alternative beverages and products, Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water and Clearly Canadian O+2® oxygen enhanced water beverage. All of our products are distributed in the United States and Canada and certain of our products are distributed in the Caribbean, Turkey, Korea, Indonesia, and other countries. During the 2005 fiscal year, the largest markets for our products were the United States (approximately 78% of total sales), Canada (approximately 18% of total sales) and International (4%).

Our products are considered “new age” beverages, a category which became identifiable in the mid-1980’s. New age beverages are distinguishable from traditional soft drinks in that they generally contain natural ingredients, less sugar, and less or no carbonation. New age beverages are traditionally seen as healthful, premium-priced, distinctively packaged and distributed primarily through cold channels represented by convenience stores, delis and specialty stores. The new age beverage category is now generally recognized in the beverage industry to include the following sixteen beverage market segments: “retail PET waters”, “enhanced waters”, “premium soda”, “nutrient-enhanced fruit drinks”, “fresh packaged juices”, “smoothies”, “regular single-serve fruit beverages”, “sparkling waters”, “sports beverages”, “ready-to-drink coffees”, “regular ready-to-drink teas”, “energy drinks”, “vegetable/fruit juice blends”, “nutrient-enhanced dairy products”, “nutrient-enhanced teas” and “shelf-stable dairy drinks”. “PET” is short for polyethylene terephthalate and is often interchangeably used with the term plastic.

Over the last three financial years, we have focused on creating new premium beverage brands, developing product extensions and reformulations for existing brands and strengthening the distribution network for our products. In so doing, we have attempted to expand the availability of our existing products and to diversify our new age beverage product line offerings.

Since our acquisition of CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation in January 1998 and through the end of fiscal 2005, we have not effected any significant acquisitions. Rather, during this period, we focused on a variety of brand development and product licensing initiatives.

During 1999 and 2000 we redesigned and relaunched our principal beverage product line (Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water) and, as a result, acquired new retail listings for the product line. During the last five fiscal years, we developed and launched two new beverage product lines, Clearly Canadian O+2® in 1998 and Tré Limone® in 2000 (which has subsequently been discontinued). We also conducted product development work with Reebok International Ltd., which resulted in a license agreement in February 2001. Under this license agreement, we manufactured, marketed and distributed certain Reebok branded beverage products until December 31, 2003. The license agreement terminated due to our inability to meet the minimum net sales requirements for 2003. As a result,

we are considering developing our own line of fitness water beverage products and/or formulating such a product line for other potential customers.

Most recently, in April 2006, we redesigned and relaunched our principal beverage product line (Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water). These changes included a refreshing new package design that trades on the brand’s established history and reformulated flavours that include the brand’s original, full flavours. In addition, we introduced new flavours with zero calories and zero carbohydrates.

Our Proprietary Products

Currently, we produce, distribute and market two different beverage products: Clearly Canadian® Flavoured Sparkling Water and Clearly Canadian O+2®.

Clearly Canadian® Flavoured Sparkling Water

In 1988, we introduced our flavoured sparkling water to the beverage marketplace. This product line, which is referred to as our “core brand”, competes in the “premium soda” segment of the new age beverage market as a premium brand product with distinctive flavours and packaging. A premium soda is a carbonated beverage containing a sugar concentrate base, which often carries a unique and sophisticated imagery and a premium price tag. This segment also includes all natural sodas, which, for the most part, contain all natural ingredients, including no artificial colors, flavours or preservatives. We currently offer six natural fruit flavoured sparkling beverages: Blackberry, Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, and Pink Grapefruit. The former two flavours have zero calories. We have developed and own the formulae for our flavourings. The flavours for these products are produced under contract by concentrate suppliers. .This product line is available in a proprietary 414 ml (14 fl. oz. serving), approximately one-half the carbohydrates (approximately 10 grams per 8 fl. oz. serving) with no preservatives and without compromising the products’ premium taste profile. This product line is available in 414 ml (14 fl. oz.) glass bottles with shrink-sleeve labels that are in vivid colors in abstract patterns and cover the entire bottle) glass bottle embossed with maple leafs and wrapped with clear labels that vividly depict that fruit flavours of each product offering

In 2005, our marketing and selling efforts were focused on achieving meaningful distribution and availability improvements in certain key markets. In July 2005, we concluded negotiations with The Dr. Pepper Bottling Company to contractually secure the distribution support of the largest operator in the Dr. Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group network. In addition to more favorable commercial terms, the new relationship architecture means that our products are now distributed by America’s third largest soft drink bottler and marketer in every major market they operate in. Major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, Columbus, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Cincinnati, Minneapolis/St. Paul and St. Louis, are all serviced by this single distributor.

In 2005 and 2004, sales of our flavoured sparkling water products represented approximately 77% and 73%, respectively, of our total product revenues.

Clearly Canadian O+2®

In 1998, we developed a new oxygen enhanced beverage called “Clearly Canadian O+2®” which we launched and marketed in the United States and Canada. In its unflavoured form, Clearly Canadian O+2® is produced with up to ten times the normal concentration of oxygen naturally found in water. Additionally, Clearly Canadian O+2® also comes in two flavours (Fruit-Citrus and Berry-Citrus) which are produced with up to five times the normal concentration of oxygen. Clearly Canadian O+2® features an innovative, sleek, blue bottle, which is designed to prolong the retention of oxygen levels. This product line has been designed to compete in the “single-serve water” and “sports beverages” segments and the new enhanced water sub-segment of the new age beverage category.

Prior Proprietary Products

During the prior three fiscal years, we manufactured and sold other beverage products, as described below.

-15-


Tré Limone®

In 1999, we developed a new product line for the North American market. The product, Tré Limone®, is a dry, sparkling lemon-ginger drink and was launched on a roll-out basis in 2000. This product line was discontinued in 2004.

Reebok Fitness Water Beverages

We conducted product development work with Reebok International Ltd., where, in February 2001, we entered into a license agreement with Reebok International Ltd. Under this license agreement, we manufactured, marketed and distributed certain Reebok International Ltd. branded beverage products. The license agreement was terminated on December 31, 2003, due to our inability to meet certain minimum net sales requirements for 2003. In 2004 and 2003, the sales of Reebok International Ltd. branded beverage products represented approximately 2.3% and 10.4%, respectively, of our total product sales revenues. We no longer market or distribute Reebok International Ltd. branded beverage products.

Cascade ClearTM Bottled Water

In February 2002, our subsidiary, CC Beverage, concluded the sale of certain production facility assets to Advanced H2O, Inc. (“AH2O”) of Bellevue, Washington. (See “Business of the Company”). As part of the sale to AH2O, CC Beverage sold its “Cascade Clear” bottled water business for an aggregate of $2 million, which purchase price is being paid to CC beverage as a royalty based on a percentage of the gross sales earned by AH2O over time, subject to a minimum payment of $100,000 per year. At the end of each year, AH2O had an option to not make the minimum payment, and if not paid, CC Beverage could elect to repurchase the Cascade Clear brand for $1.00. In January 2005, AH2O gave notice to CC Beverage that it would not be continuing with the Cascade Clear brand, and as a result, CC Beverage elected to re-acquire the brand for future business distribution and sale opportunities. Cascade Clear bottled water competes in the retail PET water sub-segment of the single-serve water segment of the new age beverage category, being non-sparkling water in 1.5 litres or less “PET bottles” (PET is short for polyethylene terephthalate and is often interchangeably used with the term plastic).

Other Sources of Revenue

Co-Packing Services

We currently bottle a private label bottled water, utilizing our licensed oxygenation technology, for a private label customer. For the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years, sales from this business represented approximately 23% and 0%, respectively, of our total revenues. During the first quarter of 2006, sales from this business represented approximately 35% of our total revenue. We anticipate that sales from this business will grow in the future and we are actively seeking expansion of this business though product line extensions.

Bulk Water

During fiscal 2005 and in prior years, from time to time and in a limited manner, we sold bulk water from our Thornton Well Site, which is described below.

Discontinued Operations

On February 22, 2002, our subsidiary, CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation, concluded the sale of certain production facility assets and a bottling plant lease located in Burlington, Washington, and the sale of its “Cascade Clear” water business and its private label co-pack bottling business to Advanced H2O, Inc. of Bellevue, Washington. Advanced H2O, Inc. acquired CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation’s production facility assets and bottling plant lease for a total of $4,348,600, which purchase price included $2,130,000 in cash, the assumption of long-term indebtedness of approximately $2,155,000 and the assumption of certain capital equipment leases of approximately $63,600. In addition to the purchase of the production facility and lease, Advanced H2O, Inc. purchased CC Beverage (U.S.)

-16-


Corporation’s “Cascade Clear” water business for an aggregate of $2 million, which purchase price is payable to CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation based on a percentage of the gross sales earned by Advanced H2O, Inc. over time, subject to a minimum payment of $100,000 per year commencing December 31, 2002. At the end of each year, Advanced H2O, Inc. had the option to refuse the minimum payment and, if not paid, CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation could elect to repurchase the Cascade Clear brand for $1.00. In January, 2005, Advanced H20, Inc. gave notice to CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation that it did not intend to continue with the Cascade Clear brand, and as a result, CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation elected to re-acquire the brand for potential future business distribution and sales opportunities. Also, CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation sold its private label co-pack (bottling) business to Advanced H2O, Inc. For such business Advanced H2O, Inc. pays CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation a percentage of the gross profits received by Advanced H2O, Inc. from the private label business over a five year period ending December 31, 2006 (up to a maximum payment of $125,000 per year and a minimum payment of $62,500 per year). Additionally, Advanced H2O, Inc. agreed to provide CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation with “at cost” co-packing (bottling) services for ten years (five year initial term and five year renewal term) for up to 1,500,000 cases per year of carbonated beverages and 250,000 cases per year of non-carbonated beverages. The proceeds from the sales of the various assets to Advanced H2O, Inc. were used for general working capital purposes, to reduce debt and to provide additional funding for the marketing and distribution of our beverages.

Seasonal Nature of the Business

Sales of our beverage products are subject to seasonal variations in demand. For example, consumers in North America typically consume fewer beverage products in the late fall, winter and early spring months. As a result, our results of operations vary seasonally and such variations may be significant.

Distribution and Sales

For most of our product lines, we distribute and sell through a network of authorized distributors and sub-distributors (our DSD System). Typically, we appoint distributors to distribute and sell our products within an assigned territory. Our distributors purchase finished goods from our company and are, in certain circumstances, subject to certain minimum sales performance and sales promotion requirements within their territories in order to maintain their distribution rights. In addition to the DSD System, we also sell some of our products on a direct sale basis to certain retailers and merchandisers.

With respect to product distribution in the United States and Canada, for our principal markets, we have distribution arrangements with the following major distributors:

  • Seven-up/RC Bottling Company of Southern California (a wholly owned subsidiary of Dr Pepper Seven-up Bottling Group) provides distribution for the territories of Southern California, New Mexico, and Southern Nevada;
  • Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, distributes Clearly Canadian sparkling flavoured water in all of its distribution territories throughout the United States. This agreement provides for distribution of the Clearly Canadian brand in 22 States, including existing territories covered by Seven- Up/RC Bottling Company of Southern California, Inc. and the American Bottling Company, and the addition of Dr. Pepper Bottling Company of Texas for the States of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma;
  • Southeast-Atlantic Beverage provides distribution for the states of Florida and Georgia;
  • The American Bottling Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Dr Pepper Seven-up Bottling Group) provides distribution in several states in the Mid-Western United States;
  • Dr. Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Company of the West provides distribution in the Nevada counties of Lander, Eureka, White Pine, Elko Mineral, Lyon, Douglas, Storey, Washoe, Pershing, Churchill, Esmeralda, Humboldt, Carson City and part of Nye;
  • Seven-Up/RC of Chico, a division of Dr. Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Company of the West, provides distribution in the California counties of Tehama, Glenn and Butte;
  • Columbia Distributing Company and Walton Beverages provide distribution in the states of Oregon and Washington; and
  • Acosta Canada provides a full range of distribution (brokerage), selling and marketing services throughout Canada.

-17-


In addition, we utilize a network of independent distributors that provide distribution services to certain regions or customers not serviced by the foregoing major distributors. New relationships and distribution arrangements are in various stages of negotiation.

With respect to product distribution in countries other than the U.S. and Canada, we have distribution arrangements with various distribution groups in the Caribbean, Turkey, Korea, Indonesia, and other countries. Sales to international distributors accounted for approximately 4% of total sales in 2005 and 5.7% of total sales in 2004.

Status of New Initiatives

Based on discussions with certain of our major distributors and retailers and from our own analysis, we intend to focus on a number of strategic initiatives, including:

  • returning to the Clearly Canadian roots of innovation by creating new and exciting products in growth segments of the “new age” beverage industry such as premium water, enhanced waters and energy based beverage products;
  • creating consumer awareness marketing campaigns for our Clearly Canadian® flavoured sparkling beverages which highlight our new package design, the return of our original flavours and the introduction of our new flavours with zero calories and zero carbohydrates;
  • expanding on our private label water business by utilizing our technical and quality assurance expertise;
  • entering into profitable alternatives to further utilize the Clearly Canadian brand name, including licensing opportunities that could increase exposure of the brand;
  • reviewing and expanding our sales and distribution channels;
  • acquiring niche companies in the “new age” beverage category that can utilize our existing infrastructure; and
  • establishing charitable partnerships related to water issues.

We believe that we can utilize our expertise in developing innovate products such as Clearly Canadian® Flavoured Sparkling Water, Clearly Canadian O+2®, Orbitz® and Reebok Fitness Water Beverages to develop first-to-market products in the “new age” beverage category and we are currently in various stages of research and development of these type of products. All new products will be consumer tested before we launch selling and distribution efforts.

We anticipate that our new package designs and formulations for Clearly Canadian® flavoured sparkling beverages will be well received by the consuming public, including those who have enjoyed our products since our inception, those who enjoy full flavour, tasting beverages and from those more health conscious consumers that have a greater awareness of the health related issues associated with increased levels of caloric intake.

We also intend to introduce new marketing initiatives in the form of consumer awareness advertising campaigns and sampling campaigns that will enhance the recognition of our product in the marketplace. In conjunction with these initiatives, we will continue expanding the availability of our Clearly Canadian® flavoured sparkling beverages, focusing on the domestic markets in the United States and Canada. Our objective is to continue to build upon our distribution relationships in place during 2005 and to establish a more effective and focused national network of sales and distribution in both the United States and Canada. We intend to support these distribution systems in an effort to expand the availability of Clearly Canadian® flavoured sparkling beverages through the use of company-staffed sales and distribution drives, regionally designed incentive programs, new point of sale materials and company-sponsored national account listings.

Strengthening our distribution network remains a key component in our goal to rebuild distribution of Clearly Canadian®. We will be reviewing all channels of distribution, including expanding our DSD partners, accessing broker-direct sales channels and accessing key direct selling channels such as club stores and mass merchandisers. Realizing sales in these significant trade channels is a natural progression of a “cold box” (store coolers) focused strategy. Additionally, as individual “cold box” distribution in existing and new distributors continues to improve, we anticipate a growing need to support such distribution in new convenience chains and in “warm” (store shelf) and multi-serve grocery distribution. It is normal practice for both national convenience and grocery chains to

-18-


require us to pay listing or slotting fees prior to the introduction of new products to their shelves and we may engage in this practice in order to increase the availability of our product to consumers.

We also plan to continue in negotiations with various parties in relation to the development of additional co-packing opportunities in private label businesses and licensing opportunities in enhanced beverage manufacturing that utilize our technologies and expertise. We believe that additional business development relative to private label co-packing and licensed products should contribute incremental revenue and profitability for the future and we believe they will directly contribute to greater profitability on an on-going basis.

We intend to leverage our brand name in the beverage industry and leverage our infrastructure of operational, accounting, marketing and sales personnel to acquire niche companies with existing products that have smaller distribution and market penetration than our company. For example, there are many companies in the “new age” beverage that have exciting products but have limited resources to market their products or achieve distribution, or if they have these resources, they are not able to maintain a profitable business. We believe there is significant potential to acquire these types of companies, or the products they own, and through the economies of scale of our existing infrastructure, achieve a greater competitive advantage for their products.

Concerning our charitable initiatives, we intend to partner with Global Water, a U.S. based, non-profit organization committed to establishing safe water supplies in developing nations. Through corporate donations and upcoming fundraising events, we will finance and implement, along with Global Water, the creation of clean and safe drinking water systems in villages in Central America and South America. Our initial plans include funding Global Water to complete two water systems by the end of 2006, with the projects being in villages located in Guatemala and Nicaragua and having an approximate cost of US$20,000 per project. We have also set a target of “2010” - to complete, by the year 2010, 20 new water projects and bring safe water supplies to over 10,000 people who do not currently have access to this essential part of life.

Competition

Our products compete broadly with all beverages available to consumers. The beverage market is highly competitive, and includes international, national, regional and local producers and distributors, many of whom have greater financial, management and other resources than us.

Our direct competitors in the new age beverage market include but are not limited to:

  • Cadbury Schweppes – purchased Snapple Beverage Group from Triarc Beverage Companies Inc. in September, 2000, producer of “Snapple”, “Mistic” and “Stewart’s Soda”;
  • Coca-Cola Company – producer of “Fruitopia”, “Nestea”, “Powerade” and “Dasani”;
  • PepsiCo – producer of “Lipton Teas”, “Aquafina”, “SoBe” (i.e. acquired by PepsiCo through an acquisition of a 90% interest in South Beach Beverages in January, 2001), and “Gatorade” (acquired by PepsiCo through merger with Quaker Oats which was approved in August, 2001);
  • Nestlé Waters North America, Inc. – producer of “Perrier”, “Poland Springs”, “Arrowhead”, “Aberfoyle Springs” and other water beverages;
  • Danone Waters of North America, Inc. – producer of “Evian” and “Dannon”;
  • Hansen Natural Corp. – producer of Monster Energy, various natural sodas, smoothies, functional drinks, juices and iced teas;
  • Ferolito, Vultaggio & Sons – producer of “Arizona Iced Teas”;
  • Red Bull energy drink; and
  • Glaceau – producer of vitamin water and fruit water.

While we believe that we compete favorably on factors such as quality, merchandising, range of flavours, brand name recognition and loyalty, the expansion of competitors in the new age beverage market, along with the expansion of our competitor’s products, many of whom have substantially greater marketing, cash, distribution, technical and other resources than we do, has resulted in our products having a decreased market share over the past several years, both in terms of product availability in stores and in terms of consumption by consumers. While we

-19-


will continue to experience these increasing competitive pressures from both traditional and new age beverage companies, we believe that we can improve our market share in this competitive environment by implementing the initiatives described above.

Raw Materials, Suppliers and Sources of Water

We acquire the raw materials that we use in producing our finished products from a variety of suppliers. The pricing and availability of such raw materials is subject to change based on competitive conditions. However, in certain instances we secure the supply and pricing of some raw materials through contractual commitments.

Our bottles are supplied from one glass bottle manufacturer and two plastic (PET) bottle manufacturers. Based on our knowledge of the capacities of our suppliers, we expect to have a sufficient supply of bottles to enable us to meet our anticipated future requirements.

We use contract bottling facilities (being independent bottling companies under contract with us or our subsidiaries). Currently, we utilize the following contract bottling facilities for producing products:

  • Advanced H2O, Inc. of Bellevue, Washington produces product (Clearly Canadian® oxygenated beverages) primarily for distribution to western Canada and to the western United States. Advanced H2O, Inc. also produces other branded oxygenated water that we sell to certain co-pack customers.
  • Delta Beverages of Woodbridge, Ontario produces product (Clearly Canadian® flavoured beverages) primarily for distribution in Canada and the United States.

The water used in our “core brand” product line, Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured sparkling beverages, presently comes from municipal water supplied by our co-packer, Delta Beverages, located in Brampton, Ontario. The water used in our Clearly Canadian O+2® product line and our private label oxygen enhanced water beverage is supplied by our co-packer, Advanced AH2O, from a spring water supply source located in the Cascade Mountain area near the town of Concrete, Washington. The water used in our limited sale of bulk water comes from our own Formosa Well Site which is described below.

On an on-going basis, we review the sources of the water used in our products and may make changes to the sourcing of its water in the future.

Based upon the present flow capacities of our own well sites, which are described below, and contracted water sources, we believe that we have an adequate supply of water to meet our present and anticipated future water requirements.

Quality Control

The quality of all of our products is intended to meet or exceed the requirements imposed by applicable regulatory authorities in the United States, Canada and other countries where our products are sold. For products that utilize water from our water sources, our system of quality control begins at the well site where we closely monitor the quality of the source water. The water is tested a second time as it is received at the bottling facility. For all of our products, the final test is of the finished product, which is conducted after bottling. We conduct regular inspections at each bottling facility. Our quality assurance employees conduct continuous random on-site audits of the quality control systems at each bottling facility, and our quality assurance personnel continuously review standards with both suppliers and production operations. Each and every production run at the bottling facilities is tested to ensure our product specifications are being met. We also use independent testing labs on a regular basis.

Trademarks, Copyright and Protection of Intellectual Property

We have numerous trademark registrations in the United States, Canada and in other countries worldwide in connection with our Clearly Canadian®, Clearly Canadian O+2®, and other beverage product lines. Our trademark registrations are valid for varying periods of time, but are renewable before expiry.

-20-


We retain copyright to any work created by our employees during the course of their employment and, where necessary, acquire copyright by assignment from independent contractors who prepare artistic work for our products and promotional materials.

We regard our trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to our success and attempt to protect such property with registered and common law trademarks and copyrights, restrictions on disclosure and other actions to forestall infringement. We rely on a combination of trademark and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. We have in the past, and expect that we may in the future, license elements of our distinctive trademarks, trade dress and similar proprietary rights to third parties. Product package, merchandising design and artwork are also important to our success and we intend to take action to protect against imitation of our products and packages and to protect our trademarks, patents and copyrights as necessary.

Insurance

We maintain “all risk” property insurance up to an aggregate policy limit of Cdn$5 million, which covers loss and damage to our product inventories (loss limited to Cdn$5 million), office contents, tenant improvements and certain buildings and equipment. Additionally, we have commercial general liability insurance that covers claims against us by third parties for bodily injury and property damage, including claims based upon product liability. As of June 15, 2006, the aggregate policy limit for our commercial general liability insurance is Cdn$10 million, and we also maintain commercial fidelity bond coverage with a policy limit of Cdn$100,000.

Government Regulation

In Canada, we and our contracted bottlers and suppliers are required to meet the requirements of a variety of federal, provincial and local government authorities and agencies in connection with our products. With respect to federal matters, our products are regulated by Health Canada, which deals with product quality requirements, and by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which deals with product content and product labeling issues. At the provincial level, we are subject to regulation and controls imposed by the Ontario Ministry of Environment with respect to water drawn from the Thornton and Formosa Well Sites. In British Columbia, we are regulated by similar agencies such as the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment with respect to product and water originating from British Columbia water sources. Additionally, at the local level, we are regulated by certain regional authorities who deal with issues concerning land and property uses that relate to our well sites.

In the United States, we and our contracted bottlers and suppliers are required to meet the rules and regulations set down by the Federal Food and Drug Administration relating to the production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution of our products. The operations of our production and distribution facilities are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and workplace regulations, including Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Unfair Labor Standards Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and laws relating to the maintenance of fuel storage tanks. Additionally, at the state level, a number of government agencies and authorities impose certain licensing requirements for our products.

Environmental Issues

Based on our current operations, environmental protection requirements do not have a significant financial and operational effect on the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of our company in the current financial year and are not expected to have a significant effect in the reasonably foreseeable future.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we and our subsidiaries had a total of 37 staff, who were either employed as employees or retained as consultants. Of this number, 8 worked in various management and administration positions in our corporate head office in Vancouver, British Columbia, and 29 were involved in various sales, marketing and operations.

-21-


As of June 15, 2006, we and our subsidiaries had a total of 31 staff, who were either employed as employees or retained as consultants. Of this number, 14 worked in various management and administration positions in our corporate head office in Vancouver, British Columbia, and 17 were involved in various sales, marketing and operations.

C. Organizational Structure

We have three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) CC Beverage (U.S.) Corporation; (ii) Clearly Canadian Beverage (International) Corporation; and (iii) Blue Mountain Springs Ltd. The following chart sets out our corporate structure:


D. Property, Plant and Equipment

Our corporate head offices are located at 2267 10th Avenue W., Vancouver, British Columbia. The space is approximately 1,600 square feet in size, and is leased at a basic rate of Cdn$27,000 per year plus expenses. This lease expires on December 31, 2007.

Our Formosa Well Site consists of approximately seven acres located in the Village of Formosa, Ontario (the “Formosa Well Site”). The Formosa Well Site is an artesian well which is approximately 950 feet deep. We own the Formosa Well Site and the water-taking permit allowing up to approximately 238,000 gallons per day to be drawn from the property, however, we are not presently drawing water from this site. The terms of such licences are for two years and are subject to renewal. We are presently utilizing the Formosa Well Site in a limited manner to supply flat water to a private label customer.

During fiscal 2005, we had another well site, which was situated on five acres of land located in Thornton, Ontario (the “Thornton Well Site”). In Ontario, we must obtain a commercial licence to draw quantities of water from our property, and we were licensed to draw approximately 104 million gallons of water per year from our two wells on the Thornton Well Site. Subsequently, on June 7, 2006, we terminated our license to draw water from the Thornton Well Site, terminated our lease of the Thornton Well Site and sold our Thornton Well Site water equipment and storage tanks at the Thornton well site for Cdn$400,000.

Also, we previously owned a well site property which is located near Vernon, British Columbia, consisting of approximately 16.9 acres of land on which five wells are drilled (the “B.C. Well Site”). On October 24, 2003, we completed the sale of the BC Well Site for a purchase price of Cdn$275,000. In connection with such sale, we retained an eight year license entitling us to draw up to 1,750,000 gallons of water per year at no cost during the first four years of the license and at a price of Cdn$0.01 per gallon in the last four years of the license. Water from this site has previously been used for our flavoured beverage products; however we are not presently drawing water from this site.

-22-


In September 1996, we acquired Blue Mountain Springs Ltd., an Ontario corporation, which owns two parcels of land near Collingwood, Ontario. Part of this land may be a potential future spring water source for our products. We are currently considering a sale of the portion of this land which does not have a water source.

In March 1993, we purchased approximately 300 acres of land in Piney, Manitoba. This site may be developed as a future water source.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

Overview

We are in the business of producing, distributing and marketing premium alternative beverages and products, including Clearly Canadian® sparkling flavoured water, Clearly Canadian O+2® oxygen enhanced water beverage and a private label oxygen enhanced water beverage. All of our products are distributed in the United States and Canada and certain of our products are distributed in the Caribbean, Turkey, Korea, Indonesia, and other countries. During the 2005 fiscal year, the largest markets for our products were the United States (approximately 78% of total sales), Canada (approximately 18% of total sales) and International (4%).

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. These principles differ in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP. These differences are described in Note 20 of our consolidated financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, we make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

There are several accounting policies that we believe are critical to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements. Note 2 - “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our consolidated financial statements summarizes each of these significant accounting policies. Those accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the other notes to the consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition described in this “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.” Set out below are certain of the accounting policies that we believes are critical to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

While these accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we are a going concern and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, certain events and

-23-


conditions cast substantial doubt on this assumption. We had a loss of $6,069,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and had a working capital deficit of $446,000, an accumulated deficit of $68,714,000 and a shareholders’ equity of $1,724,000 at year-end. Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been funded primarily from the issuance of capital stock, the net proceeds of short term financing of $831,000 and the continued support of creditors.

Management has continued to take steps to try to improve our financial results and cash flows. These steps include listing for sale certain land and water rights in Ontario, analyzing liquidation of non-core investments and pursuing debt and/or equity financing to fund working capital requirements (see Subsequent Events). Management believes that we will be able to secure the necessary financing; however, there is no assurance that management will be successful in achieving these objectives.

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

Distribution rights

Costs associated with the acquisition of certain territorial rights to distribute beverage products have been recorded as distribution rights and until January 1, 2002 were amortized on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) with regard to intangible assets. Under the new recommendations, which can only be applied prospectively, the distribution rights were determined to have an indefinite life. Therefore, they are not amortized, but are tested for impairment in value at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there might be an impairment, taking into account the ability to recover the carrying value portion from expected future operating cash flows on a discounted basis. We also consider projected future operating results, trends and other such circumstances in making such evaluations. A provision is recorded for any impairment in the carrying value when such a determination is made.

We undertook our annual review of the carrying value of distribution rights and determined that the value of the distribution rights was impaired. As a result, we recorded a charge of $1,536,000 in the year ended December 31, 2004 audited financial statements.

Financial instruments

     (a) Fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities corresponds to their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value based upon the discount rates applied.

     (b) Concentration of credit risk. We grant credit to our customers in the normal course of business. Credit valuations are performed on a regular basis and the financial statements take into account an allowance for bad debts. At December 31, 2005, two customers represented 60% (two customer in December 31, 2004 represented 32%) of total accounts receivable.

     (c) Interest rate risk. Our short term bank credit facility bears interest at U.S. prime plus 4%. The long term debt bears interest at a fixed rate, as disclosed in the notes to these financial statements. We do not use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

     (d) Foreign exchange rate risk. The majority of our revenues are earned and selling costs incurred in the United States. However, the majority of our production costs, and certain selling, general and administration costs are incurred in Canada and we are therefore subject to risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. We do not use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

-24-


Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the assessment of the carrying value of and land and water sources ($1.57 million). Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2004, we adopted the new provisions of the CICA Handbook Section 3870 on “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”, which now requires companies to adopt the fair value based method for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. As a result, we are required to expense stock options issued to employees and directors. Previously, we were only required to disclose the pro forma effect of stock options issued to employees and directors in the notes to the financial statements.

We have applied the new provisions retroactively by a charge to retained earnings and a corresponding increase to contributed surplus in the amount of $523,000 on January 1, 2004 with respect to employee stock options granted in 2003 and 2002.

If we had applied the fair value method of accounting for employee stock options in the year 2003, we would have recorded a compensation expense in respect of employee stock options granted and repriced during the period in which they occurred and our net loss and loss per share would have been as indicated in the pro forma amounts below:

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005”) compared with the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004”)

Sales were $9,141,000 for 2005 compared with $11,586,000 for 2004, a decrease of 21.1% ($2,445,000) compared to 2004. This decline in sales is attributable to the cumulative impact of increased competition, lack of new product and package design initiatives and significantly reduced sales and marketing activities in recent years. These factors in management’s judgment are inter-related and due to their nature their impact cannot be separately quantified. The reduced sales and marketing activities has been a direct result of working capital constraints which we have addressed, in part, through our recently completed financings (see Liquidity and Capital Resources). Going forward it will be necessary for us to secure additional financing in order to support more aggressive marketing and sales activities for our beverage products, and refresh our product offerings by reformulation and repackaging.

There were no significant changes in our cost of sales and gross profit margin percentages, being 30.5% for 2005 and 2004. However, we expect to reduce our cost of sales and increase our gross profit margins in 2006 as a result of packaging changes on our core product.

-25-


There were no significant changes in our general and administrative expenses, being $2,411,000 for 2005 compared to $2,312,000 for 2004. We have streamlined our upper level management, significantly reduced our office expense overhead and we are continuing our corporate restructuring program. As a result, we expect to reduce our general and administrative expenses in 2006.

Selling expenses of $3,181,000 in 2005 were approximately 34.8% of sales, compared with $3,275,000 or approximately 28.3% of sales in 2004. The increase in the percentage of sales expended on selling expenses is a reflection of the increased cost associated with attempting to maintain market share in a competitive business throughout North America. In 2005, we increased our selling expenses in most regions of the United States with the addition of “Market Specialists” whose mandate is to increase availability of product in the all-other-market segment. The increase in selling expenses coincided with our increased distribution efforts with the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group. These efforts resulted in sales growth in the South Central region in 2005, as compared with 2004. While our sales declined in other regions of the United States which offset the gains from the South Central region, our private label water business experienced significant growth in 2005, rising 37.6 % over 2004. We expect continued growth of our private label water business into 2006.

The loss for 2005 was $6,069,000 (or $1.06 per share) compared with a 2004 loss of $5,531,000 (or $7.14 per share). A comparison of significant differences in other items of expense between 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

  (a)

$1,709,000 stock compensation expense in 2005 (2004: $23,000) which represents the non- cash value attributed to certain stock options granted during 2005 in connection with our May 2005 financing led by BG Capital;

     
  (b)

$680,000 restructuring expense in 2005 (2004:$Nil) in connection with the amendment of certain consulting contracts and lease obligations;

     
  (c)

Financing expense of Nil in 2005 compared with $653,000 in 2004. The expense in 2004 relates primarily to the issuance of capital stock in consideration of the obtaining short term debt financing;

     
  (d)

Write-down of property, plant and equipment of $382,000 in 2005 compared with a write- down of $721,000 in 2004. This is the result of management’s annual assessment of the carrying value of these assets, and represents the adjustment made to reduce book value to estimated net recoverable amount; and

     
  (e)

Write-down of distribution rights of Nil for 2005 compared with $1,536,000 for 2004. The writedown was made in 2004 as a result of management’s annual test of this asset for impairment in value.

Year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004”) compared with the year ended December 31, 2003 (“2003”)

Sales were $11,586,000 for 2004 compared with $13,270,000 for 2003, a decrease of $1,684,000 or 12.7% compared with 2003. We experienced growth of $872,000 in 2004 compared with 2003 in sales to a private label customer. Offsetting this growth, Reebok branded sales were down by $1,118,000 in 2004 compared with 2003. In 2003 Reebok International Inc. elected not to renew its licensing agreement with us to manufacture, distribute and sell certain Reebok branded products. Sales of carbonated products were down by $1,438,000, This general decline in sales in our carbonated product line was attributable to the cumulative impact of increased competition, lack of new product and package design initiatives and significantly reduced sales and marketing activities in recent years. These factors in management’s judgment are inter-related and due to their nature their impact cannot be separately quantified.

Gross profit from sales was $3,538,000 for 2004 compared with $3,310,00 for 2003, which is 30.5% and 24.9% of sales respectively. Gross margin was reduced by 3.2% on a one-time basis in 2003 for the write-down of Reebok branded inventory on the loss of the product license. Excluding the write-down, the gross margin factor in 2003 would have been 28.1% . The normalized increase of 2.4% in gross margin in 2004 was realized in the non-carbonated product line and is attributable to the change in customer mix; being increased distribution to other private label and oxygenated water vendors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,587,000 for 2004 compared with $5,554,000 for 2003, which is materially unchanged in total.

Loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $5,531,000 ($7.14 per share) compared with the loss of $3,713,000 ($5.48 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2003. A comparison of significant differences in other expenses between 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

  (a)

Writedown of distribution rights expense of $1,536,000 in 2004 compared with $500,000 in 2003. The write-down in the carrying value of distribution rights assets is as a result of management’s annual assessment for impairment, and is recognition of the decreased value placed by management upon distribution rights bought back from master distributors in previous years;

     
  (b)

Write-down of property, plant and equipment of $721,000 in 2004 compared with a write-down of $272,000 in 2003. This is the result of management’s annual assessment of the carrying value of these assets, and represents the adjustment made to reduce book value to estimated net recoverable amount;

     
  (c)

Loss on assets held for sale of $56,000 in 2004 compared with $328,000 in 2003. This is the write- down recorded to reduce the carrying value of surplus water source land assets to estimated recoverable value based on management’s annual assessment;

     
  (d)

Financing expense of $653,000 in 2004 compared with Nil in 2003. The expense in 2004 relates primarily to the issuance of capital stock in consideration of the obtaining short term debt financing; and

     
  (e)

Amortization of property, plant and equipment expense of $130,000 in 2004 compared with $294,000 in 2003. The reduced expense in 2004 is due to the reduced carrying value of the related assets after write-downs in asset values assessed in 2003 and 2004.

B.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash resources at December 31, 2004 were $78,000 and our net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was negative at a deficit of $4,370,000, including $4,150,000 owing to our trade suppliers. Our ability to obtain further credit from our suppliers at December 31, 2004 was limited, with certain crucial suppliers having placed us on a “cash prior to delivery” basis. We had no significant unutilized credit under our operating line of credit at December 31, 2004, and no other sources of debt financing available to us. We were able to raise only $100,000 in new equity in January 2005 which was obviously insufficient given our financial condition. These circumstances led to our undertaking the corporate restructuring steps discussed below, and the new funding from BG Capital and other investors through the sale of capital stock.

Highlights of the corporate restructuring and new funding during fiscal 2005 were as follows:

  • consolidation of our common share capital on a ten old for one new share basis (effective May 2, 2005);
  • the conversion of a $1,000,000 loan from BG Capital into preferred shares and the subscription by BG Capital for an additional $1,000,000 of preferred shares (completed as of May 5, 2005);
  • a brokered and non-brokered private placement of $3,075,000 (3,075,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share) completed May 16, 2005 and May 24,2005;
  • a non-brokered private placement of $635,953 (635,953 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share) completed May 27, 2005;
  • conversion of $500,000 of short term debt into common shares (222,825 common shares at a price of $2 per share) completed November 30, 2005; and
  • a non-brokered private placement of units for $1,000,000 (800,000 common shares and 20,000,000 warrants at a price of $1.25) completed December 28, 2005. (Subsequently, in May 2006, the holders of the foregoing warrants agreed to surrender all but 4,120,000 warrants of their 20,000,000 warrants. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – and Private Placements and Corporate Restructuring” above).

We raised a total of $6,516,000 in equity capital in 2005, net of cash costs of issue. We used the net amount of $740,000 in cash from the equity raised to retire debt of various maturities. We also used $2,376,000 in cash to improve our working capital position and our ability to provide product, including $1,821,000 to bring accounts payable to suppliers current and $257,000 to increase our inventory of stock.

During fiscal 2005, our operations continued to run at a cash loss. The loss for the year of $6,069,000 includes a total of $2,790,000 in non-cash expenses. The non-cash expenses comprise primarily stock based compensation of $1,709,000, restructuring costs paid by the issue of shares valued at $448,000, and write-down of property, plant and equipment totaling $382,000. We utilized the net amount of cash of $3,279,000 to cover operating losses in 2005.

Liquidity at December 31, 2005 and projected requirements for 2006

Our cash resources at December 31, 2005 were $520,000 compared with $78,000 at December 31, 2004. Our net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) remains negative as a deficit of $446,000 at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, we had borrowed $361,000 under our operating line of credit and had no significant unutilized credit under that facility, and we had no other sources of debt financing available to us. At the end of the 2005 fiscal year, we projected the need to raise approximately $4,000,000 in cash through the issue of capital stock in the 2006 fiscal year to cover operating losses at the current level of sales and expenses, and to restore an adequate balance of working capital. Subsequent to 2005 fiscal-year end, in May 2006, we completed a series of non-brokered private placements for a total sale of 1,312,500 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,625,000, and are currently finalizing additional sales of common shares which will provide us with adequate financing to satisfy cash and working capital requirements through fiscal 2006.

Our total contractual obligations at December 31, 2005 were $ 4,335,000 and were comprised of various types of debt instruments, including an operating line of credit, short term loans, promissory notes, convertible debentures, mortgages and operating leases.

The following table is a summary of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005:

Working Capital Requirements

We had a working capital deficit of $446,000 at December 31, 2005. Subsequent to fiscal-year end, in May 2006, we completed a series of non-brokered private placements for a total sale of 1,312,500 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,625,000, and are currently finalizing additional sales of common shares to provide us with adequate financing to satisfy cash and working capital requirements through fiscal 2006. To the extent that such equity financing is not sufficient, we may need to seek additional sources of debt and/or equity financing in the future to fund our operations and working capital. Such financings may or may not be available on attractive terms, or at all, or may be dilutive to current or future shareholders. See the risk factors and notes regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Going Concern” assumptions set out in this annual report.

Bank Indebtedness

Our subsidiary, CC Beverage (US) Corporation, has an operating line of credit available with a U.S. bank, which bears interest at U.S. prime rate plus 4% (11.25% as of December 31, 2005) with a 12-month term ending August 24, 2006. This line of credit is collateralised by a first lien on all accounts receivable and inventories of CC Beverage, as well as a corporate guarantee by Clearly Canadian. CC Beverage can borrow up to the lesser of $1,000,000 and 80% of its U.S. trade accounts receivable outstanding less than 60 days (as at December 31, 2005 - $456,000; 2004 - $406,000). The weighted average interest rate during 2005 was 10.19% (2004 - 8.49%; 2003 – 8.125%) . At December 31, 2005, $361,000 (2004 - $272,000) was drawn on this line of credit.

-29-


Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt at December 31, 2005 was $1,501,000, which was comprised of various types of debt instruments, including promissory notes and mortgages. In May 2005, we paid down a portion of our long-term debt by $528,349 through the redemption of all outstanding convertible debentures.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

During the past three years, we have not had material research and development expenditures.

D. Trend Information

There is a continuing trend in the new age beverage industry toward greater consolidation of brand ownership and product distribution as major beverage companies acquire both new age and traditional soft drink beverage brands. This consolidation within the new age beverage industry has brought about a similar consolidation in manufacturing and distribution as some of the major beverage companies attempt to integrate their brands with manufacturing and distribution facilities and networks. In this regard, we intend to focus on maintaining and expanding our market share through marketing and distribution initiatives, and through alignment with stronger distribution networks throughout the United States. We also intend to look at alternative distribution networks such as broker-direct sales channels and direct selling to key accounts such as club stores and mass merchandisers. Furthermore, in addition to evaluating potential strategic transactions, we also intend to continue with our focus of developing new products, extending existing brands and seeking out further product licensing and co-packing opportunities. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – Business Overview” and “– Operations and Distributions”.

A significant trend reflected in our recent financial results is declining sales revenues. Other than in 2001, where revenues increased slightly, our revenues have declined each year since 1996. We had revenues of $9,141,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $11,586,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $13,270,000 in 2003, $20,205,000 in 2002, $23,257,000 in 2001, $23,247,000 in 2000, and $31,418,000 in 1999.

Similarly, historically, another significant trend for our company has been a deterioration in our working capital position. However, as a result of financing activities in 2005 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above), we managed to significantly improve our working capital deficit. At December 31, 2005, we had a working capital deficit of $446,000 compared to a working capital deficit of $4,370,000 at December 31, 2004, and bank indebtedness, related to an operating line of credit against receivables, of $361,000 at December 31, 2005 compared to bank indebtedness of $272,000 at December 31, 2004.

Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2005, we have continued to build on trying to reverse both of these historical trends. With respect to our working capital position, on June 7, 2006, we sold our Innisfill water equipment and storage tanks at the Thornton well site for Cdn$400,000. We also completed in May 2006 a series of non-brokered private placements for a total sale of 1,312,000 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2,625,000 (see ““Item 4. Information on the Company – Private Placements and Corporate Restructuring” on above for more detailed description of this financing, including finders’ fees). These initiatives have continued to enhance our working capital position. We are committed to pursuing financing opportunities and carefully examining expenses in order to build on the improving working capital position of the company.

With respect to the trend of declining sales revenue, we are encouraged by the first quarter financial results of 2006. Sales revenue in the first quarter for 2006 was $1.767 million compared to $1.728 million in the same quarter of 2005. Although it is too early to characterize this improvement as a reversal in trend, it is noteworthy that this is the first quarter in many years that our sales have improved compared to the same quarter in the previous year. We intend to build on this momentum with the introduction of our new packaging recently introduced into the marketplace, innovative marketing programs intended for the second half of the year, and the exploration of new distribution channels.

Report on Executive Compensation

During the most recently completed financial year, our compensation committee set compensation of executive officers (including the Named Executive Officers) in a manner consistent with the compensation provided by other comparable companies within the beverage industry.

The basis upon which the compensation of our President or Chief Executive Officer is determined is consistent with the compensation policy and structure which is applicable to all of our executive officers.

Our executive compensation program is based in part on a pay-for-performance philosophy. The executive compensation program is designed to encourage, compensate and reward employees on the basis of individual and corporate performance, both in the short and the long term. Base salaries are set at levels which are competitive with the base salaries paid by companies within the beverage industry and companies of comparable size, thereby enabling our company to compete for and retain executives important to our company’s long term success. Incentive compensation is directly tied to corporate and individual performance. Share ownership opportunities are provided to align the interests of executive officers with the longer term interests of shareholders.

The objectives of the executive compensation strategy are as follows: (i) to attract and retain talented and effective individuals to provide those functions which are important to our company’s success; (ii) to encourage and recognize high levels of performance by linking achievement of specific goals with inventive compensation; and (iii) to establish a clear linkage between long term executive compensation and the interests of our company and its shareholders.

Our executive compensation program has four components: (i) base salary; (ii) bonus compensation; (iii) stock option grants; and (iv) other compensation and benefits. These components may be summarized as follows:

  • Base Salary. We approve ranges for base salaries for executive officers at all levels of our company and our subsidiaries based upon our analysis of appropriate external comparisons and industry reviews, together with periodic advice received from independent consultants and reviews of market data from peer groups, industry and national surveys. The level of base salary for each executive officer within a specified range is determined by our company based primarily on the executive officer’s past performance, contractual commitments, as well as by the level of responsibility, expertise and the importance of the executive officer’s position to our company.
  • Bonus Compensation. Officers and employees of our company are eligible for annual incentive awards. Corporate performance, as assessed by the compensation committee or the board of directors, determines the bonus compensation to be paid to all eligible officers and employees. The targets for corporate performance established by the board of directors are set primarily by reference to our company’s expected financial performance during the fiscal year, as well as by reference to other significant factors, such as, cash management, strategic business development and management of personnel resources. The compensation committee and the board of directors have the discretion to modify corporate performance targets throughout the year.
  • Stock Option Grants. Our stock option plans are administered by the corporate secretary, or such other officer or employee as may be designated by the Board. The stock option plans are designed to give each option holder an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term, to enable our company to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability, and to reward individuals for current performance and expected future performance. We consider stock option grants when reviewing executive officer compensation packages as a whole.
  • Equity Incentive Plan. Our equity incentive plan is administered by our directors, or such committee as may be designated by our directors. The purpose of our equity incentive plan is to provide long-term performance incentives to certain key employees and consultants of our company and our company’s subsidiaries who are largely responsible for the management and protection of the business of our company and our company’s subsidiaries.
  • Other Compensation and Benefits. Benefits are maintained at a level which is competitive overall in relation to appropriate external comparisons. Executive officers are entitled to certain perquisites which

-36-


vary with their level of responsibility. These perquisites are considered part of a competitive compensation package and are not always related to corporate performance.

Stock Options

We currently maintain three equity compensation plans – 1997 Stock Option Plan; 2005 Stock Option Plan; and 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

1997 Stock Option Plan

We maintain a stock option plan (the 1997 Stock Option Plan) that was initially approved by the shareholders at our annual meeting held on June 27, 1997. An amendment to the 1997 Stock Option Plan was subsequently approved by the shareholders at an annual meeting held on June 29, 2001. The amendment increased the number of common shares issuable under the 1997 Stock Option Plan to 1,750,000 pre-consolidated common shares, representing approximately 25% of our company’s issued and outstanding common shares at that time. The 1997 Stock Option Plan is administered by our corporate secretary, or such other officer or employee as may be designated by our board of directors. As of June 15, 2006, there were options outstanding under the 1997 Stock Option Plan entitling the holders of the options to purchase up to 113,842 common shares at exercise prices between Cdn$6.50 and Cdn$13.50 per share.

2005 Stock Option Plan

At our annual and special general meeting held on April 29, 2005, a new stock option plan was approved by shareholders and adopted (the 2005 Stock Option Plan) to replace the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The 2005 Stock Option Plan was adopted to bring our stock option plan in line with the stock option plans of comparable companies, and to make changes to the termination and vesting provisions. Upon the adoption of the 2005 Stock Option Plan, the 1997 Stock Option Plan is continuing in effect only until the exercise or expiry of all of the stock options currently outstanding pursuant to the 1997 Stock Option Plan. As of June 15, 2006, there were options outstanding under the 2005 Stock Option Plan entitling the holders of the options to purchase up to 602,500 common shares at exercise prices between $1.00 and $2.12 per share.

The purpose of the 2005 Stock Option Plan is to provide us with a share related mechanism to enable us to attract, retain, motivate and reward qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants, and to secure the benefits of the incentive inherent in share ownership by directors and key employees and consultants who, in the judgment of our directors will be largely responsible for our future growth and success.

The following information is intended as a brief description of the 2005 Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2005 Stock Option Plan.

  1.

The maximum number of common shares issuable under the 2005 Stock Option Plan is 1,750,000.

     
  2.

The exercise price of the initial options granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan is $1.00, and thereafter the exercise price of options, as determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion, will not be less than the weighted average trading price per share on the OTC Bulletin Board market for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option, or, if the shares are no longer listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board market, then such other exchange or quotation system on which the common shares are listed or quoted for trading.

     
  3.

All options granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan have an expiry date of five years from the date of grant of the option, except that options will expire one year following the date of termination of an option holder.

     
  4.

Upon expiry of an option, or in the event an option is otherwise terminated for any reason, without having been exercised in full, the number of common shares in respect of the expired or terminated option will again be available for the purposes of the 2005 Stock Option Plan.

-37-



  5.

Any option granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan may include a stock appreciation right, which may be exercisable only to the extent that the option with which it is included is exercisable. A stock appreciation right will entitle the holder to elect to surrender to our company, unexercised, the option with which it is included, or any portion thereof, and to receive from our company that number of common shares, disregarding fractions, having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the value of one share over the exercise price per share of such option, times the number of shares for which the option or portion thereof, is being exercised. The value of a common share will be determined for these purposes, unless otherwise specified or permitted by applicable regulatory policies, based on the weighted average trading price per share on the OTC Bulletin Board market for the five trading days immediately preceding the date we receive notice of the exercise of the stock appreciation right (or, if the common shares are no longer listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board market, then such other exchange or quotation system on which the common shares are listed or quoted for trading).

2006 Equity Incentive Plan

On February 1, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, providing for the grant of up to 10,000,000 common stock based awards. As of June 15, 2006, there were options outstanding under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan entitling the holders of the options to purchase up to 1,275,000 common shares at exercise prices between $1.75 and $2.25 per share.

The purpose of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is to provide long-term performance incentives to key employees and consultants responsible for the management, growth and protection of our business. The following information is intended as a brief description of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

  1.

The maximum number of common shares issuable under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is 10,000,000.

     
  2.

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the granting of (a) stock options, (b) stock appreciation rights, (c) restricted stock, (d) stock granted as a bonus or in lieu of other awards, (e) other stock-based awards, (f) tax bonuses or other cash payments, and (g) any combination of the foregoing.

     
  3.

The Board, or the Committee of the Board administering the Plan, has the power, subject to the terms of the Plan, to determine the amount and terms of any award under the Plan.

Employment, Management and Consulting Agreements

The following is a summary of the employment and consulting agreements with our senior management. We do not have service agreements with our directors.

Brent Lokash is our President and a Director. We have a director/officer agreement with Mr. Lokash pursuant to which he is appointed as our President and a Director, and which provides for compensation in the form of stock options to Mr. Lokash. This director/officer agreement is terminable by us at any time upon notice, and is terminable by Mr. Lokash upon 60 days’ notice. In addition, we have a consulting agreement with BRL Consulting Inc., a company wholly owned and operated by Mr. Lokash, pursuant to which BRL Consulting provides certain consulting services to us in exchange for cash compensation. This consulting agreement is terminable by either party upon 60 days’ notice.

C. Board Practices.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has established the following committees:

  • Audit Committee: The audit committee reviews our annual and interim financial statements and certain other public disclosure documents required by regulatory authorities and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to such statements and documents. This committee also makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding the appointment of independent auditors, reviews the nature and scope of the annual audit as proposed by the auditors and management, and reviews with management the risks inherent in the Company’s business and risk management programs relating thereto. This committee also reviews with the auditors and management the adequacy of our internal accounting control procedures and systems, considers our audit procedures and reviews and approves the non-audit services to be performed by the independent accountants. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, no non-audit services were performed or approved by the audit committee to be performed by our independent accountants, other than certain tax compliance services which the audit committee believes that the independent accountants could provide without impairing their independence.
     
    The audit committee is currently comprised of Marco Markin, Brent Lokash and Cameron Strang. Of these directors, only Mr. Strang is considered “independent” within the meaning of section 1.4 of MI 52-110. The board has determined that none of members of our audit committee meet the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC; however, all of the members of the audit committee have significant business experience and a general understanding of accounting principles and knowledge of financial statements.

-40-


    The board of directors adopted an Audit Committee Charter on May 11, 2004, a copy of which is available upon request in writing to our corporate secretary.
  • Compensation Committee. The Board does not have a separate Compensation Committee, but the entire Board serves as the Compensation Committee.
  • Disclosure Committee: The disclosure committee is responsible for advising us and our board of directors on ongoing disclosure requirements as imposed under corporate and securities laws. The disclosure committee is comprised of the entire Board.
D. Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we and our subsidiaries had a total of 37 staff, who were either employed as employees or retained as consultants. Of this number, 8 worked in various management and administration positions in our corporate head office in Vancouver, British Columbia, and 29 were involved in various sales, marketing and operations.

Legal Proceedings

Other than as set out below, there are no material legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, nor are any such proceedings known to be contemplated. From time to time, we are subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business.

Dispute with Ralph Moyal

In and around April 1997, we acquired the shares of Blue Mountain Springs Ltd. (Blue Mountain) for Cdn$4,500,000, of which Cdn$1,750,000 remains outstanding to the vendors thereof, Jeanette McGrath and Shari-Anne Dudart (the Vendors). In April 1997, a claim was filed in the Ontario Supreme Court against Clearly Canadian, and Gerry McGrath, the father of the Vendors. The plaintiff, Ralph Moyal (Moyal), is seeking various declaratory relief relating to his claim of entitlement to shares in Blue Mountain and certain property interests owned by Blue Mountain. In connection therewith, Moyal is seeking an order setting aside the share purchase agreement (the Share Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which we acquired Blue Mountain. We are vigorously defending the Moyal action on the basis that we were not involved in, nor did we have any knowledge of, the events upon which Moyal makes his claim of entitlement to an interest in Blue Mountain or its properties, and on the basis that we are a

-46-


bona fide purchaser for value of the shares in Blue Mountain without notice or knowledge of any defect or deficiency in title thereto. In addition, we have asserted a claim against the Vendors for contribution and indemnity in accordance with our rights under the Share Purchase Agreement. We have delivered a statement of defence, counterclaim and cross claim in which we have claimed damages against Moyal, as a result of the registration of a certificate of pending litigation against certain lands owned by Blue Mountain, the right to set off any and all damages, costs and interests incurred as against amounts owing to the Vendors (in accordance with its rights under the Share Purchase Agreement) and declaratory relief against the lawyers for Gerry McGrath and Moyal who were involved in the transactions.

In and around October 1997, a claim was filed by the Vendors in the Ontario Supreme Court against us seeking damages for breach of the Share Purchase Agreement, and in particular, seeking payment under the Share Purchase Agreement, portions of which we have withheld to date based on our indemnity and set off rights under the Share Purchase Agreement and as a result of certain undischarged encumbrances and outstanding matters that the Vendors have not attended to in connection with our purchase of Blue Mountain. In January 1998, a related claim was filed by the Vendors in the Ontario Supreme Court against us seeking damages as a result of our failure to agree to release shares and monies related to payments under the Share Purchase Agreement. We are vigorously defending these actions and we have delivered a statement of defence and counterclaim against the Vendors in which we deny that we have breached our obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement and we state that it is the Vendors who have failed to uphold their obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement. In our counterclaim, we claim against the Vendors for contribution and indemnity and the right of set off as described above.

The trials of all of the above noted claims are scheduled to be heard together. Although there is no scheduled trial date, it is anticipated that these actions could be heard before the court in the fall of 2006 or the spring of 2007or earlier if certain issues within the actions proceed to court by way of summary motion instead of trial. Based on the facts and the indemnity and set off rights that we have against the Vendors, we believe that no accrual is required.

We have has incurred approximately Cdn$991,367.58 in legal fees to date in defending and prosecuting the above noted actions, of which approximately Cdn$28,368.82 was incurred in the current year. We expect to be able to apply a portion of these amounts toward any amounts due upon the outcome of these matters. These legal fees have been expensed in the periods in which they were incurred.

Dispute with D. Bruce Horton and Continental Consulting Ltd.

In August 1999, a claim was filed against us in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by D. Bruce Horton and his company, Continental Consulting Ltd. (Continental). Mr. Horton is claiming compensation from us for allegedly constructively dismissing him as an officer of Clearly Canadian. Continental is claiming compensation from us alleging that we terminated our management agreement without cause. Mr. Horton and Continental are claiming an aggregate of Cdn$2.4 million plus interest and costs. We do not accept Mr. Horton’s and Continental’s allegations, and we have filed statements of defence and have further filed counterclaims against Mr. Horton and Continental for monies owed and damages. We have made an accrual based on its expected costs.

Dividend Policy

During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we did not pay any cash dividends to any holders of our equity securities.

The Class A shares provide for the payment of cash dividends on each Class A share at the rate of 10% per annum of the deemed issue price of $1.00 per Class A share. Dividends on the Class A shares are to be paid quarterly, in advance, commencing on the date of issuance of the Class A shares, through the issuance of common shares at a 10-day average trading price. Accordingly, on May 24, 2005, we issued 7,506 common shares to BG Capital Group Ltd. in respect of dividends payable on the Class A shares at a price of $1.46 per share. As of June 15, 2006, there are no Class A shares issued and outstanding, and no further dividends are accruing on the Class A shares.

The Class B shares provide for the payment of cash dividends on each Class B share at the rate of 10% per annum of the deemed issue price of $1.00 per Class B share. For the first year, dividends on the Class B shares were payable

-47-


in advance on the date of issuance of the Class B shares through the issuance of common shares at a price of $1.00 per share. Accordingly, on May 24, 2005, we issued 200,000 common shares to BG Capital Group Ltd. in respect of dividends payable on the Class B shares. As of June 15, 2006, there are 2,000,000 Class B shares issued and outstanding, all of which are held by BG Capital.

We have no fixed dividend policy. The payment of dividends in the future will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements and operating and financial condition. Generally, dividends can only be paid if a corporation has retained earnings. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient earnings to allow us to pay dividends.

B. Significant Changes

There have been no significant changes to our business since December 31, 2005, except as disclosed herein.

Trading Markets

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CCBEF”. Our common stock commenced trading through the NASDAQ system on September 3, 1987; however, on February 14, 2001, our shares were delisted from NASDAQ (based on non-compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price and minimum market value requirements for continued listing) and our shares have been trading in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board since.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia), and we are now governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCA”). Our “Notice of Articles” (formerly called a “memorandum”) does not restrict the business that we may carry on, nor does it set out any specific objects or purposes for our business.

Directors

Under the BCA, every director and every senior officer of our company who is, in any way, directly or indirectly, materially interested in a proposed material contract or transaction with us is required, subject to certain exemptions, to disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest at a meeting of the directors. The BCA further provides that every director must account to us for any profit made as a consequence of our entering into or performing the proposed material contract or transaction in which the director has a material interest, unless either:

  (a)

the director or senior officer discloses his or her interest as described above and the proposed contract or transaction is approved by the non-conflicted directors, or by special resolution of the shareholders; or

     
  (b)

the contract or transaction was approved by the court as being reasonable and fair to our company at the time it was entered into.

A special resolution is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than three-quarters of the votes cast by our shareholders who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a duly called general meeting of our company. Under our articles, a director who is interested in a proposed contract or transaction with us may be counted in the quorum at any directors’ meeting at which the proposed contract or transaction is approved.

Compensation payable to our directors is set by the board of directors with input from the compensation committee. An independent quorum of directors is not required in order for the board of directors to approve compensation payable to directors.

Under our articles, the board of directors may authorize the borrowing of money in such manner and amount, on such security, from such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they in their absolute discretion think fit. These borrowing powers may be varied by an amendment to our articles approved by a special resolution of the shareholders.

Our articles provide for a rotation of the terms of office for directors. Directors are appointed for three-year terms, however one-third (or the next smaller whole number if the number of directors is not a multiple of three) of the number of directors fixed pursuant to the articles is required to retire from office at succeeding annual general meetings. Directors are not required to hold shares in our company.

General Description of Capital Structure

On December 31, 2005, our issued and authorized share capital consisted of the following:

  • an unlimited number of common shares without par value, of which 6,864,352 common shares were issued and outstanding;
  • 2,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares, none of which were issued and outstanding; and
  • 2,000,000 Class B Preferred Shares, 2,000,000 shares of which were issued and outstanding.

On March 16, 2006, we held a special general meeting of shareholders, at which the shareholders approved (a) the re-designation of the common shares as “Limited Voting Shares” and (b) the creation of a class of “Variable

-50-


Multiple Voting Shares.” Holders of Variable Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to multiple votes at all meetings of common shareholders, and the number of votes attached to each Variable Multiple Voting Share is equal to the greater of (i) ten and (ii) ten times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of issued common shares and the denominator of which is the number of issued common shares on March 16, 2006. To date no Variable Multiple Voting Shares have been issued.

Common Shares

Each common share entitles the holder to one vote at any meeting of our shareholders, to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in such amounts as shall be determined by the Board of Directors; and to receive any remaining property in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company.

Class A Preferred Shares

The rights attached to the Class A Preferred Shares include the right to dividends in the amount of 10% per annum payable quarterly in advance (payable by the issuance of common shares calculated at a share price equal to the ten day average closing price of our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board market preceding the date of issuance of such dividend shares), the right to one vote for each Class A Preferred Share on any vote of the common shares, and the right of conversion into common shares at a conversion price equal to the ten day average trading price of common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board market preceding the date of conversion. The Class A Preferred Shares rank, as to dividends, redemptions, and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, prior to (i) the common shares and (ii) any class or series of shares of our capital stock created subsequent to these Class A Preferred Shares which by their terms ranks junior to the Class A Preferred Shares and junior to the Class B Preferred Shares and (iv) any class or series of shares of our capital stock created subsequent to the Class A Preferred Shares which by their terms ranks senior to the Class A Preferred Shares (the “Senior Securities”); and pari passu with (v) any class or series of shares of our capital stock created subsequent to the Class A Preferred Shares by their terms ranks on a parity with the Class A Preferred Shares.

Class B Preferred Shares

The rights attached to the Class B Preferred Shares include the right to dividends in the amount of 10% per annum payable, in the first year, in advance, by the issuance of common shares at a price of $1.00 per share, and thereafter in advance in monthly cash installments. Each Class B Preferred Share has the right to five votes on any vote of the common shareholders. The Class B Preferred Shares as a class are convertible, in whole but not in part, into such number of common shares as would equal 50% of the number of fully diluted common shares immediately prior to such conversion of the Class B Preferred Shares. The Class B Preferred Shares rank, as to dividends, redemptions, and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, prior to (i) the common shares and the Class A Preferred Shares; and (ii) any class or series of shares of our capital stock created subsequent to these Class B Preferred Shares which by their terms ranks junior to the Class A Preferred Shares and junior to the Class B Preferred Shares and (iv) any class or series of shares of our capital stock created subsequent to the Class B Preferred Shares which by their terms ranks senior to the Class B Preferred Shares (the “Senior Securities”); and pari passu with (v) any class or series of shares of our capital stock created subsequent to the Class B Preferred Shares by their terms ranks on a parity with the Class B Preferred Shares.

Variable Multiple Voting Shares

The Variable Multiple Voting Shares rank equally with the common shares with respect to dividends and rights on liquidation. With regard to voting, each Variable Multiple Voting Share entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes for each share held or such greater number of votes for each Variable Multiple Voting Share as may be determined in accordance with the following formula:

V = LVS X 10
CS

-51-



Where:    
     
V
=

the number of votes attaching to each issued Variable Multiple Voting Share

LVS

=

the number of issued common shares (redesignated as Limited Voting Shares) other than the Limited Voting Shares issued from time to time on conversion of the issued and outstanding Class B Preferred shares

CS


=


7,229,912 (which represents the number of issued common shares as at March 16, 2006, which number shall be increased upon any subdivision and decrease upon any consolidation of the Limited Voting Shares after March 16, 2006 on the same basis as that subdivision or consolidation)

Share Rights

Amendments to our articles, including any provisions affecting rights attaching to shares of our capital stock, must be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders, or as otherwise provided for in the BCA. Rights or special rights attached to a particular class or series of shares may not be prejudiced or interfered with without first obtaining consent by way of special resolution of the holders of the affected class or series of shares.

We have adopted a shareholders’ rights plan. Under the plan, a person or group of persons acting jointly that acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our outstanding common shares may not be entitled to exercise rights issued under the plan. See “Shareholder Protection Provisions – The Rights Plan” below.

Meetings of Shareholders

We must hold an annual general meeting of shareholders at least once in every calendar year and not more than 13 months after the date the last annual general meeting was held. In addition, our directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of shareholders for whatever purpose the directors may determine. Under the BCA, directors must convene a general meeting of shareholders on the requisition of one or more shareholders holding in the aggregate not less than 5% of the issued voting shares. All shareholders of record as at the record date set for a meeting of shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Shareholder Protection Provisions

Our shareholders have previously approved the adoption of certain shareholder protection measures to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics or offers, and to encourage potential acquirers in any takeover attempts to negotiate directly with our board of directors. Specifically, the shareholders have approved and we have implemented a rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), the terms of which are contained in a rights agreement dated October 1, 1990, as amended, and a supermajority amendment (the “Supermajority Amendment”) which forms a part of our articles.

The Rights Plan

Pursuant to the Rights Plan, each common share carries one right (a “Right”) which becomes exercisable on the date (the “Distribution Date”) which corresponds to the close of business on the 10th business day after the earlier to occur of (i) the date of a public announcement that a person or group of persons acting jointly (an “Acquiring Person”) have acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares, other than pursuant to an offer which is determined by our board of directors to be fair and otherwise in the best interests of us and our shareholders (a “Qualified Offer”), such date being the “Stock Acquisition Date”, or (ii) the date of a public announcement of the commencement, or announcement of an intention to make, a takeover offer, the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons acting jointly of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares. Until the Distribution Date, the Rights are evidenced by the certificates representing the common shares and the Rights may be transferred only with the common shares. Following the Distribution

-52-


Date, the Rights are transferable and certificates representing the Rights will be issued to the holders of record of the common shares.

Each Right will entitle its holder upon exercise and payment of the exercise price in effect from time to time (currently Cdn$15.00) (the “Exercise Price”) to one common share. Upon the occurrence of certain events including (i) the acquisition by a person or a group of persons acting jointly of 20% or more of the common shares other than pursuant to a Qualified Offer or (ii) a merger or other business combination transaction (other than a merger which follows a Qualified Offer) or (iii) the sale of 50% or more of our consolidated assets or earning power, provision will be made so that each Right will entitle its holder upon exercise to receive, upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect at the time, that number of common shares which have a market value of two times such Exercise Price provided that any Acquiring Person shall not be entitled to the benefit of such adjustment.

Until the 10th business day following the Stock Acquisition Date, the Rights may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, by the board of directors at a price of Cdn$0.001 per Right and upon the redemption of the Rights the holders of the Rights will be entitled only to receive the redemption price.

The Rights Plan was first approved by our shareholders at the annual general meeting held on December 1, 1989. The Rights Plan was for an initial term of 10 years and expired on December 31, 1999. At the annual general meeting held on June 24, 1999, the shareholders approved the re-adoption and extension of the Rights Plan for a further 10 years (expiry date December 31, 2009). At the annual general meeting held on June 23, 2000, the shareholders approved reducing the Exercise Price of a Right from Cdn$70.00 to Cdn$15.00.

This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the rights agreement pursuant to which the Rights Plan was established.

The Supermajority Amendment

The Supermajority Amendment requires that certain mergers and other forms of business combinations involving us and beneficial owner of greater than 20% of the outstanding common shares be approved by the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding common shares unless such transaction is approved by the board of directors in which case the Supermajority Amendment will not apply. The Supermajority Amendment provides that the approval of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding common shares must be obtained in order to amend, repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with the Supermajority Amendment, unless such action is approved by the majority of the board of directors.

The full text of the Supermajority Amendment is contained in our articles and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles.

C. Material Contracts

Other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, we have entered into the following material contracts during the two years proceeding the date of this annual report:

  • Quest Loan Agreement dated March 4, 2004, and amended March 19, 2004 April 6, 2004 and September 20, 2004, pursuant to which Quest Capital Corp. agreed to lend to us an aggregate amount of Cdn$1,350,000 on certain terms and conditions (which loan was repaid by us in November 2004). In consideration of the loan, we issued to Quest Capital Corp. 66,000 of our common shares as bonus shares on March 19, 2004, 16,750 additional shares on September 20, 2004 and 20,250 additional shares on November 18, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the loan, we were required to arrange the sale of the bonus shares. In order to facilitate the loan, Douglas L. Mason, our former President, Chief Executive Officer and director, agreed to purchase the bonus shares at a price of $4.00 per share from Quest Capital Corp. on July 6, 2004;
  • Management Loan Agreement dated for reference March 4, 2004 between us, Criterion Capital Corporation, Philip Langridge, Glen D. Foreman, Neville Kirchmann and Bruce E. Morley (the “Former

-53-


    Management Group”), as amended by agreement dated for reference April 6, 2004, pursuant to which the Former Management Group loaned us $500,000, which loan bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum compounded and payable monthly (which loan was repaid by us in May 2005);
  • Loan Agreement dated November 23, 2004 between us and Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. On November 23, 2005, we entered into an amendment of the loan agreement with Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc., pursuant to which Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. agreed to extend the maturity date of the loan to May 2, 2006. Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. also agreed to convert Cdn$500,000 of the principal amount of the loan into our common shares at a conversion price of US$2.00 per share. The remaining Cdn$500,000 of the principal amount was convertible at US$2.00 per share at the option of Global (GMPC) Holdings Ltd. As consideration for the amendment, we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock to Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. Global (GMPC) Holdings Inc. agreed that no interest will be payable on the remaining principal amount of the loan. The loan was paid in full on May 2, 2005;
  • Loan Agreement, dated February 9, 2005, between us and BG Capital Group Ltd., pursuant to which BG Capital agreed to loan us $1,000,000;

  • Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 21, 2006, between us and Fern Brook Springs Bottled Water Company Ltd., pursuant to which we sold our Innisfill water equipment, storage tanks and water sources at the Thornton well site for Cdn$400,000.
D. Exchange Controls

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada restricting the import or export of capital or affecting the remittance to the United States of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of our shares. However, the payment or crediting of interest or dividends to United States residents may be subject to applicable withholding taxes at a rate prescribed by the Income Tax Act (Canada) and modified by the provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (see commentary in the section entitled “Taxation” below).

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “ICA”), there are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of British Columbia or in our Memorandum or Articles on the right of foreigners to hold and/or vote the shares of our capital stock.

The ICA has application where a “non-Canadian” individual or entity or controlled group of entities proposes to make an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business enterprise, either directly or indirectly, by way of purchase of voting shares of a corporation or of substantially all of the assets used in the Canadian business enterprise. An investment to acquire voting shares of a corporation is deemed to be an acquisition of control where more than one-half of the voting shares are acquired. An acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of a corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control and an acquisition of between one-third and one-half of the voting shares of a corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control unless it can be established that the acquisition does not in fact result in control of the corporation by the investor.

An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business enterprise, the gross assets of which exceed certain thresholds, must be reviewed and approved under the ICA before implementation. An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business enterprise, the gross asset value of which falls below these threshold amounts, is one in respect of which notification must be given under the ICA although approval is not required prior to implementation of the investment.

-54-


Specific investment thresholds apply to investors of the United States. The investment threshold for a direct acquisition of control has been established at Cdn$250 million for 2005 and no review is required for an indirect acquisition of control. Each year the direct acquisition investment threshold is adjusted for inflation.

E. Taxation

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general discussion of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common shares who is a resident of the United States and who is not, and is not deemed to be, a resident of Canada, who holds such common shares as capital property and who does not use or hold such common shares in carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”).

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and regulations thereunder (the “ITA”) and all specific proposals to amend the ITA publicly announced prior to the date hereof by the Minister of Finance (Canada) and the current administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. It has been assumed that all specific proposals to amend the ITA will be enacted in substantially their present form and that no other relevant amendments to the ITA will come into force. However, no assurance can be given to this effect. Except for the foregoing, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations which may differ from those described herein. See “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” below.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences to all Non-Resident Holders and in particular will not be applicable where the Non-Resident Holder is a non-resident insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada in respect of which our common shares are held or used in Canada. Nor should these comments be interpreted as legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Resident Holder, each of whom should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Dividends

Dividends (including deemed dividends) paid or credited on our common shares to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to withholding tax in Canada. The Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980, as amended (the “Treaty”) provides that the normal 25% rate of withholding tax on the gross amount of such dividends is reduced to 15% if paid to a resident of the United States. The Treaty provides for a further reduction of the withholding tax rate to 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividends is a company (any entity which is treated as a body corporate for purposes of the ITA) which is a resident of the United States and which owns at least 10% of our voting stock.

Capital Gains

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition or deemed disposition (such as would arise on the death of an individual Non-Resident Holder) of a common share unless such share is “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder. A common share in the capital of our company will be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder if (i) at any time during the five year period ending at the time of disposition of such share, the Non-Resident Holder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, or the Non-Resident Holder together with all such persons owned (or had an option to acquire) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock; or (ii) the Non-Resident Holder elected under the ITA to treat such common shares as taxable Canadian property upon ceasing to be a resident of Canada prior to October 2, 1996.

However, under the Treaty, a Non-Resident Holder to whom our common shares represent taxable Canadian property will not be liable to tax in Canada in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition of such shares unless:

-55-


  • the value of such shares is derived principally from real property situated in Canada (including mineral properties in Canada and rights in relation thereto), or
  • the Non-Resident Holder was a resident of Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding the disposition of such shares and was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding such disposition and owned such shares (or property for which such shares were substituted) at the time the Non-Resident Holder ceased to be a resident of Canada.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our common shares (“Common Shares”).

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

Scope of this Disclosure

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the “Canada-U.S. Tax Convention”), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this Annual Report. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation, or any other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S., including the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Shares other than a U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to non-U.S. Holders. Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax

consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any tax treaties) of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that are liable for the alternative minimum tax under the Code; (f) U.S. Holders that own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (g) U.S. Holders that acquired Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (h) U.S. Holders that hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; or (i) U.S. Holders that own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more, by voting power or value, of our outstanding shares. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

If an entity that is classified as partnership (or “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership (or “pass-through” entity) and the partners of such partnership (or owners of such “pass-through” entity) generally will depend on the activities of the partnership (or “pass-through” entity) and the status of such partners (or owners). Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships (or owners of “pass-through” entities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

Tax Consequences Other than U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. state and local, U.S. federal estate and gift, or foreign tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. state and local, U.S. federal estate and gift, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. (See “Taxation—Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” above).

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Common Shares

Distributions on Common Shares

General Taxation of Distributions

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to the Common Shares will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of our current or accumulated “earnings and profits.” To the extent that a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated “earnings and profits,” such distribution will be treated (a) first, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Shares and, (b) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares. (See more detailed discussion at “Disposition of Common Shares” below).

-57-


Reduced Tax Rates for Certain Dividends

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2002 and before January 1, 2009, a dividend paid by us generally will be taxed at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains if (a) we are a “qualified foreign corporation” (as defined below), (b) the U.S. Holder receiving such dividend is an individual, estate, or trust, and (c) such dividend is paid on Common Shares that have been held by such U.S. Holder for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the “ex-dividend date” (i.e., the first date that a purchaser of such Common Shares will not be entitled to receive such dividend).

We generally will be a “qualified foreign corporation” under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code (a “QFC”) if (a) we are incorporated in a possession of the U.S., (b) we are eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, or (c) the Common Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. However, even if we satisfies one or more of such requirements, we will not be treated as a QFC if we are a “passive foreign investment company” (as defined below) for the taxable year during which we pay a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. In 2003, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) and the IRS announced that they intended to issue Treasury Regulations providing procedures for a foreign corporation to certify that it is a QFC. Although these Treasury Regulations were not issued in 2004, the Treasury and the IRS have confirmed their intention to issue these Treasury Regulations. It is expected that these Treasury Regulations will obligate persons required to file information returns to report a distribution with respect to a foreign security issued by a foreign corporation as a dividend from a QFC if the foreign corporation has, among other things, certified under penalties of perjury that the foreign corporation was not a “passive foreign investment company” for the taxable year during which the foreign corporation paid the dividend or for the preceding taxable year.

As discussed below, we do not believe that we were a “passive foreign investment company” for the taxable year ended December 31, 2005, and we do not expect that we will be a “passive foreign investment company” for the taxable year ending December 31, 2006. (See more detailed discussion at “Additional Rules that May Apply to U.S. Holders” below). However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge our determination concerning our “passive foreign investment company” status or that we will not be a “passive foreign investment company” for the current or any future taxable year. Accordingly, although we anticipate that we may be a QFC, there can be no assurances that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by us concerning our QFC status, that we will be a QFC for the current or any future taxable year, or that we will be able to certify that we are a QFC in accordance with the certification procedures issued by the Treasury and the IRS.

If we are not a QFC, a dividend paid by us to a U.S. Holder, including a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust, generally will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains). The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the dividend rules.

Distributions Paid in Foreign Currency

The amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distribution based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt. A U.S. Holder that does not convert foreign currency received as a distribution into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt generally will have a tax basis in such foreign currency equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency on the date of receipt. Such a U.S. Holder generally will recognize ordinary income or loss on the subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of such foreign currency (including an exchange for U.S. dollars).

Dividends Received Deduction

Dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction.” The availability of the dividends received deduction is subject to complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion, and a U.S. Holder that is a corporation should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the dividends received deduction.

Disposition of Common Shares

-58-


A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares are held for more than one year. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares generally will be treated as “U.S. source” for purposes of applying the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below).

Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses and net capital losses are subject to complex limitations. For a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust, capital losses may be used to offset capital gains and up to U.S.$3,000 of ordinary income. An unused capital loss of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust generally may be carried forward to subsequent taxable years, until such net capital loss is exhausted. For a U.S. Holder that is a corporation, capital losses may be used to offset capital gains, and an unused capital loss generally may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the year in which such net capital loss is recognized.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income (including “passive income,” “high withholding tax interest,” “financial services income,” “general income,” and certain other categories of income). Dividends paid by us generally will constitute “foreign source” income and generally will be categorized as “passive income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “financial services income.” However, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, the foreign tax credit limitation categories are reduced to “passive income” and “general income” (and the other categories of income, including “financial services income” are eliminated). The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax

Payments made within the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from certain sales or other taxable dispositions of, Common Shares generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.

-59-


Additional Rules that May Apply to U.S. Holders

If we are a “controlled foreign corporation” or a “passive foreign investment company” (each as defined below), the preceding sections of this summary may not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

We generally will be a “controlled foreign corporation” under Section 957 of the Code (a “CFC”) if more than 50% of the total voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the U.S., domestic partnerships, domestic corporations, domestic estates, or domestic trusts (each as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), each of which own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of our outstanding shares (a “10% Shareholder”).

If we are a CFC, a 10% Shareholder generally will be subject to current U.S. federal income tax with respect to (a) such 10% Shareholder’s pro rata share of our “subpart F income” (as defined in Section 952 of the Code) and (b) such 10% Shareholder’s pro rata share of our earnings invested in “United States property” (as defined in Section 956 of the Code). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares by a U.S. Holder that was a 10% Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with such sale or other taxable disposition generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent of our “earnings and profits” that are attributable to such Common Shares. If we are both a CFC and a “passive foreign investment company” (as defined below), we generally will be treated as a CFC (and not as a “passive foreign investment company”) with respect to any 10% Shareholder.

We do not believe that we have has previously been, or currently is, a CFC. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

We generally will be a “passive foreign investment company” under Section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC”) if, for a taxable year, (a) 75% or more of our gross income for such taxable year is passive income or (b) 50% or more of the assets held by us either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the fair market value of such assets (or on the adjusted tax basis of such assets, if we are not publicly traded and either are a “controlled foreign corporation” or makes an election). “Passive income” includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.

For purposes of the PFIC income test and assets test described above, if we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another foreign corporation, we will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other foreign corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other foreign corporation. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, “passive income” does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by us from a “related person” (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.

If we are a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF” under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF Election”) or a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market Election”). A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder.”

Under Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, and any “excess distribution” (as defined in Section 1291(b) of the Code) paid on the Common Shares, must be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares. The amount

-60-


of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years of such Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax applicable to ordinary income in each such prior year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be required to pay interest on the resulting tax liability for each such prior year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such prior year.

A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above. However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of (a) our “net capital gain,” which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) our “ordinary earnings,” which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each taxable year in which we are a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by us.

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above. A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the Common Shares are “marketable stock” (as defined in Section 1296(e) of the Code). A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in gross income, for each taxable year in which we are a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year over (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Common Shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will, subject to certain limitations, be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares over (b) the fair market value of such Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year.

We do not believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2005, and we do not expect that we will be a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2006. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge our determination concerning its PFIC status or that we will not be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year.

The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Other than described below, we are not a party to any market risk sensitive instruments other than instruments evidencing interest-bearing debt obligations as described in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and in Note 2 and Note 10 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 entitled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Long-Term Debt”, respectively.

Financial instruments

a)

Fair value of financial instruments

   

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities corresponds to their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value based upon the discount rates applied.

   
b)

Concentration of credit risk

   

We grant credit to our customers in the normal course of business. Credit valuations are performed on a regular basis and the financial statements take into account an allowance for bad debts. At December 31, 2005, two customers represented 60% (two customers in December 31, 2004 - 32%) of total accounts receivable.

   
c)

Interest rate risk

   

Our short term bank credit facility bears interest at U.S. prime plus 4%. The long term debt bears interest at a fixed rate, as disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements. We do not use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

   
d)

Foreign exchange rate risk

   

The majority of our revenues are earned and production costs incurred in the United States. However, certain selling, general and administration costs are incurred in Canada and we are therefore subject to risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. We do not use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

Not applicable.

PART II

ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

We are not in default in the payment of any principal or interest installments with respect to any of our indebtedness, nor are we in arrears in the payment of any dividends declared by us.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

No material modifications have been made to the rights of holders of our shares of capital stock as presented in our notice of articles and articles. We have adopted a shareholder rights plan, the terms of which are described in “Item 10. Additional Information – Shareholder Protection Provisions.”

-62-



ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our Board of Directors has determined that none of members of the Audit Committee meets the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. All of the members of the Audit Committee have significant business experience and a general understanding of accounting principles and knowledge of financial statements. Our Chief Financial Officer and our Controller are available to assist the audit committee with respect to accounting issues.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of ethics for our Chief Executive Officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller and other persons performing similar functions. Our code of ethics complies with the SEC rules. The code of ethics addresses the following:

  • honest and ethical conduct, including handling of corporate opportunities and conflicts of interest;
  • full, fair, accurate, timely and quality public disclosure filed with the SEC and otherwise publicly made by us;
  • compliance with applicable the laws and regulations;
  • prompt internal reporting of violations of the code of ethics; and
  • accountability for adherence to the code of ethics;

-63-


A copy of the code of ethics was previously filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003.

There have been no waivers to the code of ethics as of the date of this report.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Effective February 10, 2006, we changed our independent auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, Chartered Accountants of Suite 700 – 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3A7 to UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. of 6345 - 197 Street, Langley, British Columbia V2Y 1K8.

Pricewaterhouse Coopers initially served as our independent auditors for fiscal 2004. UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. served as our independent auditors for fiscal 2004 (reaudited and restated consolidated financial statements)and 2005. The table below sets forth the total amount billed by UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. for services performed in the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years, and breaks down these amounts by category of service:

    2005     2004  
Audit fees $  45,875   $  60,000  
Tax fees   14,000     -  
All other fees   --     --  
Total $  59,875   $  60,000  

“Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed by UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. for the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. This category comprises fees billed for independent accountant review of the interim financial statements, as well as advisory services associated with our financial reporting.

“Audit-Related Fees” are fees charged by UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

“Tax Fees” are fees for professional services rendered by UHY LDMB Advisors Inc. for tax compliance, tax advice on actual or contemplated transactions.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee nominates and engages the independent auditors to audit the financial statements, and approves all audit, audit-related services, tax services and other services provided by our independent auditors. Any services provided by our independent auditors that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be pre-approved by the audit committee prior to any engagement. The audit committee is permitted to approve certain fees for audit-related services, tax services and other services pursuant to a de minimis exception before the completion of the engagement. The audit committee pre-approves any non-audit services to be performed by the independent accountants under the de minimis exception of Rule 2-01 (c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, no non-audit services were performed or approved by the audit committee to be performed by our independent accountants, other than certain tax compliance services which the audit committee believes that the independent accountants could provide without impairing their independence. There were no waivers of the audit committee pre-approval process in 2005.

Auditors’ Report

To the Directors and Shareholders of
Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation as at December 31, 2003 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 23, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada-U.S. Reporting Difference

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the consolidated financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements; when there is a change in accounting principles that has a material effect on the comparability of the Company’s financial statements, such as described in Note 3 to the financial statements; and when there has been a restatement to prior year financial statements to correct certain errors as described in Note 3 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated June 12, 2006, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when they are adequately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Company’s operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit, and has a working capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

While these accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, certain events and conditions cast substantial doubt on this assumption. The Company had a loss of $6,069,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and a working capital deficit of $446,000, an accumulated deficit of $68,714,000 and a shareholders’ equity of $1,724,000 at year end. Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been funded primarily from the issuance of capital stock, the net proceeds of short-term debt financing of $831,000 and the continued support of creditors.

Management has continued to take steps to try to improve the Company’s financial results and cash flows. These steps include listing for sale its land and water rights in Ontario, analyzing liquidation of non-core investments and pursuing debt and/or equity financing to fund working capital requirements (see Subsequent Events). The Company’s ability to continue operations is contingent on its ability to obtain financing. Management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing; however, there is no assurance that management will be successful in achieving these objectives.

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

Nature of operations

The Company produces, distributes and markets beverage products and flavoured beverages. The Company’s products are sold principally in the United States and Canada.

Principles of accounting

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP). These principles differ in certain respects from those accounting principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The differences as they affect the Company are described in note 20.

Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Clearly Canadian Beverage (International) Corporation, CC Beverage (US) Corporation and Blue Mountain Springs Ltd.

In view of the consolidated nature of these financial statements, the term “Company”, as used herein, is sometimes used to refer to all of the consolidated companies collectively and, where the context or specific transactions require, is sometimes used to refer to certain of the consolidated companies individually.

Foreign currency translation

The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency. The assets and liabilities of the Canadian operations are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet

F-10


dates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange for the periods of operation. Unrealized gains and losses arising on translation are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of loss for the year.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized at the time that shipment of product to the customer is confirmed by the shipper, which is the point at which the customer takes ownership of the product, provided that collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company does not engage in bill and hold transactions. Distributors are contractually obligated to the Company for complete payment of products sold to them regardless of their ability to sell to retailers. A provision for returns is recorded in the period management becomes aware that it is probable that the product may be returned.

Royalty revenue is recognized as the Company is notified of the sale of the licensed product and when collectibility is reasonably assured.

Funds received in advance of revenues being recognized are recorded as customer deposits.

The Company charges all sales incentives to direct or direct customers of the Company, including slotting fees, contractual marketing payments, coupons, rebates, free product and similar sales incentives as an expense in the year incurred. The total of these amounts were $409,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2004: $489,000, 2003: $503,000) Effective January 1, 2006 the Company will adopt EIC-156 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants concerning “Accounting By a Vendor for Consideration Given to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)” which requires these amounts to be accounted for as a reduction of sales.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods. Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost and market. Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in first-out basis.

Long-term investments

Long-term investments are recorded at cost less write-downs for impairments in value that are other than temporary.

Distribution rights

Distribution rights, relating to the acquisition of certain territorial rights to distribute beverage products, have an indefinite life and are recorded at cost. Management reviews the carrying value of the distribution rights at least annually for impairment. Distribution rights are written down when declines in value are considered to be other than temporary based upon forecast future cash flows.

F-11


Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the following periods which represent estimated useful life:

  Buildings 30 years
  Equipment 5 - 15 years
  Leasehold improvements term of the lease

These assets will be written down to the recoverable amount if carrying value exceeds that amount.

Stock-based compensation plan

The Company has a stock option plan which is described in note 13. Stock options issued to employees and directors are expensed based on their fair value.

Consideration paid for stock on exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the assessment of the fair market value of stock options, land and water sources ($1,900,000) and the accrual for local marketing fees ($474,000). Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Financial instruments

  a)

Fair value of financial instruments

     
 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities corresponds to their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

     
 

The carrying value of long-term debt and capital lease obligation approximates their fair value based upon the discount rates applied. See notes 9 and 10.

     
  b)

Concentration of credit risk

     
 

The Company grants credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Credit valuations are performed on a regular basis and the financial statements take into account an allowance for bad debts. At December 31, 2005, two customers represented 60% (2004 - two customers represented 32%) of total accounts receivable.

     
  c)

Interest rate risk

     
 

The short-term bank credit facility bears interest at U.S. prime rate plus 4%. The long-term debt bears interest at a fixed rate as disclosed in note 10.

F-12



 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

     
  d)

Foreign exchange rate risk

     
 

The majority of the Company’s revenues and selling and production costs are incurred in United States dollars. However, general and administration costs are incurred in Canadian dollars and the Company is therefore subject to risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

Income taxes

Income taxes are calculated using the liability method of accounting. Temporary differences arising from the difference between tax basis of an asset or a liability and its carrying value on the balance sheet are used to calculate future income tax liabilities or assets. Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using income tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of future tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance where, based upon evidence, the probability of realization of the future tax asset does not meet a more likely than not criterion.

Marketing costs

The Company expenses all marketing costs as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company incurred marketing costs of $1,358,628 (2004 - $1,493,213; 2003 - $1,461,842). These costs are included in selling, general and administration expenses.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year of 5,728,924 (2004 – 775,012; 2003 – 677,411). The loss per share reflects the ten for one consolidation of the common shares during 2005. The comparative loss per share has been restated to reflect the consolidation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the treasury method by including other potential common stock from exercise of stock options and warrants in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as basic earnings (loss) per share since the conversion of the convertible debenture and exercise of stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

3 Changes in accounting policies and restatement of prior year

The Company has a stock option plan which is described in note 13. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the new provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3870 on “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”, which now requires companies to adopt the fair value based method for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. As a result, the Company is required to expense stock options issued to employees and directors. Previously, the Company was only required to disclose the pro forma effect of stock options issued to employees and directors in the notes to the financial statements.

The Company has applied the new provisions retroactively by a charge to retained earnings and a corresponding increase to contributed surplus in the amount of $523,000 on January 1, 2004 with respect to employee stock options granted in 2003 and 2002 (refer to note 13).

F-13


Prior year comparatives

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The 2004 comparative financial statements have been restated as a result of a review of the valuation of 2,135,000 common shares issued in connection with the obtaining of short term debt financing. The following adjustments were made to the amounts previously reported for capital stock, deficit, financing costs, and loss for the year.

CC Beverage can borrow up to the lesser of $1,000,000 and 80% of trade accounts receivable outstanding less than 60 days (as at December 31, 2005 - $456,000, 2004 - $406,000). The weighted average interest rate for 2005 was 10.19% (2004 - 8.495%; 2003 - 8.125%) . At December 31, 2005, $361,000 (2004 - $272,000) has been drawn on this line of credit. This operating line of credit is also secured by a corporate guarantee from the Company.

11 Convertible debenture

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 670 debenture units, raising gross proceeds of $424,000 (CA $670,000), of which CA $345,000 was raised from certain directors and officers of the Company (related parties). Each debenture unit consists of a convertible debenture of CA $1,000 and 1,250 share purchase warrants at CA $8.00 per share exercisable until December 2, 2004. The debenture units were originally repayable by December 1, 2003 and bear interest at 10% per annum. The debenture units are convertible into common shares at the option of the holder any time prior to repayment at CA $8.00 per share.

The proceeds from the issuance of the debenture units were allocated to the convertible debenture, the equity conversion option and the share purchase warrants. The carrying amount of the financial liability of $398,000 at the time of issuance was determined by discounting the future stream of interest and principal payments at the prevailing market rate for a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The balance of $26,000 was allocated to the conversion option included in shareholders’ equity. The discount on the face value of the convertible debenture was accreted over the term of the debenture units.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the debenture holders consented to extend the term of the debenture to December 1, 2006. For accounting purposes, the term extension has been accounted for as a settlement and the difference in the fair value of the original terms of the debenture and the modified terms of $81,000 was been recorded as a gain on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. The corresponding discount on the carrying value of the debenture will be accreted on a straight-line basis over the extended term of the debenture units. During the year ended December 31, 2005, $30,000 was accreted (2004 - $25,000; 2003 - $8,000).

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the debenture was fully paid.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company granted 1,707,500 (2004 – 100,000; 2003 - 570,000) options under the stock option plan. The fair value of the options granted of $1,612,000 (2004 - $23,300; 2003 - $13,000 to non-employees) has been recorded as other expense.

The Company has estimated the fair value of each option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

  Risk-free interest rate 3.30%
  Expected life of options 5 years
  Expected volatility in the market price of the shares 234%
  Expected dividend yield 0.0%

At the Company’s annual general meeting held on June 26, 2003, the shareholders approved the repricing of up to 41,540 previously granted stock options. Pursuant to the repricing, the exercise price of the stock options was reduced to approximately $4.80 (CA $6.50), representing an exercise price that was not less than the average closing price of the Company’s shares for the 10 trading days preceding the announcement of the repricing. The incremental increase in the fair value of these options as a result of the modification, calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, was nominal and therefore no additional pro forma stock-based compensation expense was recorded in the year. The fair value of each option granted or repriced was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

  Weighted average grant or repricing date fair value CA $5.60
  Risk-free interest rate 3.00%
  Expected life of options 10 years
  Expected volatility in the market price of the shares 120.5%
  Expected dividend yield 0.0%

If the Company had applied the fair value method of accounting for employee stock options for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company would have recorded a compensation expense of $221,000 in

F-22


respect of stock options granted and repriced in the year. Refer to note 3. The Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been as indicated in the pro forma amounts below:

      2003

The December 31, 2004 balance of warrants outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the ten for one consolidation of share capital which took place May 2, 2005.

On November 1, 2005, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants in consideration for consulting services. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of U.S.$2.00 for five years. The warrants were estimated to have a fair value of $1,908,000 based upon the Black-Scholes model. The consulting expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the consulting agreement.

On November 24, 2005, 56,500 warrants issued with a previous private placement expired.

Shareholders’ Rights Plan

The Company has a Shareholders’ Rights Plan which is contained within a Rights Agreement dated October 1, 1990, and a Supermajority Amendment, which forms part of the Company’s articles. The Rights Plan expires on December 31, 2009.

F-23


In general terms, the rights issuable under the Rights Plan permit shareholders to purchase the Company’s shares at 50% of the market price at the time of the occurrence of certain Triggering Events. Generally, a Triggering Event is where a party (Acquiring Person) endeavours to merge, amalgamate, acquire assets or acquire greater than 20% of the voting shares of the Company without the approval of the Company’s directors. An Acquiring Person who causes the Triggering Event to occur is specifically excluded from acquiring shares under the adjustment formula provided for in the Rights Agreement. The rights adjustment does not occur where an offer to acquire shares is determined to be a Qualified Offer. A Qualified Offer is an offer for all outstanding shares on terms determined by a majority of the Company’s directors as being in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

Dispute with Ralph Moyal

     
 

In and around April, 1997, the Company acquired the shares of Blue Mountain Springs Ltd. (Blue Mountain) for CA$4,500,000, of which CA$1,750,000 remains outstanding (note 10) to the vendors thereof, Jeanette McGrath and Shari-Anne Dudart (the Vendors). In April 1997, a claim was filed in the Ontario Supreme Court against the Company, and Gerry McGrath, the father of the Vendors. The plaintiff, Ralph Moyal (Moyal), is seeking various declaratory relief relating to his claim of entitlement to shares in Blue Mountain and certain property interests owned by Blue Mountain. In connection therewith, Moyal is seeking an order setting aside the share purchase agreement (the Share Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which the Company acquired Blue Mountain. The Company is vigorously defending the Moyal action on the basis that it was not involved in, nor did it have any knowledge of, the events upon which Moyal makes his claim of entitlement to an interest in Blue Mountain or its

F-25


properties, and on the basis that it is a bona fide purchaser for value of the shares in Blue Mountain without notice or knowledge of any defect or deficiency in title thereto. In addition, the Company has asserted a claim against the Vendors for contribution and indemnity in accordance with its rights under the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company has delivered a statement of defence, counterclaim and cross claim in which it has claimed damages against Moyal, as a result of the registration of a certificate of pending litigation against certain lands owned by Blue Mountain, the right to set off any and all damages, costs and interests incurred as against amounts owing to the Vendors (in accordance with its rights under the Share Purchase Agreement) and declaratory relief against the lawyers for Gerry McGrath and Moyal who were involved in the transactions.

In and around October 1997, a claim was filed by the Vendors in the Ontario Supreme Court against the Company seeking damages for breach of the Share Purchase Agreement, and in particular, seeking payment under the Share Purchase Agreement, portions of which the Company has withheld to date based on the Company’s indemnity and set off rights under the Share Purchase Agreement and as a result of certain undischarged encumbrances and outstanding matters that the Vendors have not attended to in connection with the Company’s purchase of Blue Mountain. In January 1998, a related claim was filed by the Vendors in the Ontario Supreme Court against the Company seeking damages as a result of the Company’s failure to agree to release shares and monies related to payments under the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company is vigorously defending these actions and has delivered a statement of defence and counterclaim against the Vendors in which it denies that it has breached its obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement and states that it is the Vendors who have failed to uphold their obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement. In its counterclaim, the Company claims against the Vendors for contribution and indemnity and the right of set off as described above.

The trials of all of the above noted claims are scheduled to be heard together. Although there is no scheduled trial date, it is anticipated that these actions could be heard before the court in the fall of 2006 or the spring of 2007 or earlier if certain issues within the actions proceed to court by way of summary motion instead of trial. Based on the facts and the indemnity and set off rights that the Company has against the Vendors, the Company believes that no accrual is required.

The Company has incurred approximately CA$991,000in legal fees to date in defending and prosecuting the above noted actions, of which approximately CA$28,000 was incurred in the current year. The Company expects to be able to apply a portion of these amounts toward any amounts due upon the outcome of these matters. These legal fees have been expensed in the periods in which they were incurred.

19 Segmented information

The presentation of the segmented information is based on the way that management organizes the business for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates solely in the beverage industry, selling flavoured water and carbonated beverages, and management uses geographic areas to monitor the business. The “other” segment represents sales outside North America. Management evaluates the performance of each segment based on the earnings (loss) from operations before the write-down of property, plant and equipment.

The transactions between segments are measured at the exchange value, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by each segment.

With respect to third parties, the Company has two customers (2004 - two customers) that represent more than 10% of sales. Sales are on an unsecured open account basis under specific credit terms. The agreements allow the Company to make alternative distribution arrangements within the relevant territories under certain conditions, including a business failure of a distributor.

20 Reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

As disclosed in the summary of significant accounting policies, these consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which differs in certain respects from those principles and practices the Company would have followed had its consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company would report its consolidated financial statements as follows:

No differences arise between U.S. and Canadian GAAP in the presentation of the cash flow statement.

  a)

Unrealized holding gains (losses)

     
 

Under U.S. GAAP, the long-term investments in publicly traded companies would be shown at fair market value. Unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income. Under Canadian GAAP, such long- term investments are recorded at cost less any impairment in value that is other than temporary. The difference between the carrying value and the fair market value of these investments was $195,000 at December 31, 2005 (2004 - $14,000; 2003 - $NIL).

     
  b)

Convertible debenture

     
 

During 2002, under U.S. GAAP, the proceeds of $424,000 for the convertible debenture were allocated between the debt and detachable warrants based upon relative fair values using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value were the same as in note 13. The fair value of the warrants, $155,000, and the balance of $269,000 were allocated to the liability component and the beneficial conversion feature.

     
 

Value was allocated to the beneficial conversion feature associated with the convertible debenture. Based upon the allocated proceeds, the intrinsic conversion price was less than the commitment price. As a result, $155,000 was attributed to the beneficial conversion feature and the balance of $115,000, at the date of issuance of the convertible debenture, was recorded as the liability component. The amount was fully accreted in the prior year. The conversion feature expired December 2004 and $155,000 has been reclassified to contributed surplus as a result.

     
 

On December 1, 2003, the terms of the convertible debenture were modified; refer to note 11. As a result of the modification and the differences in allocations, as discussed above, a loss on settlement of $104,000 resulted under U.S. GAAP. The discount is being accreted over the term of the modified debt resulting in an interest recovery of $34,666 (2004 - $34,000; 2003 - $6,000) under U.S. GAAP.

     
  c)

Comprehensive income (loss)

F-31



 

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is included in the equity section of the balance sheets. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of foreign exchange adjustments and unrealized holding gains on long-term investment.

     
  d)

Marketing costs

     
 

U.S. GAAP requires separate disclosure of marketing costs. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company spent $1,358,628 on marketing (2004 - $1,493,213; 2003 - $1,461,842).

     
  e)

Stock-based compensation

     
 

During the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2003, the Company repriced previously granted director, officer and employee options and, as a result, is required to use variable accounting for these stock options under U.S. GAAP. The exercise price exceeded the market value of the shares at the end of the year; therefore, no charge has been recorded since that time. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company changed its accounting policies under Canadian GAAP with respect to stock options. See note (3) for details.

     
 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123R (refer (g) below) using the modified prospective application transition method. Under this transition method, the fair value basis of accounting for stock based compensation has been applied to all new grants after January 1, 2005, and to prior grants only in the case where the grants awarded are modified, repurchased or cancelled. There were no grants with unearned service life as at the adoption date.

     
 

For the 2004 and 2003 years, had recognized compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s loss for the year and loss per share under United States GAAP would have been as follows:


      2004     2003  
       
      (Restated - Note 3 )      
  Loss in accordance with United States GAAP, as reported   (5,448 )   (4,046 )
  Employee stock option expense   (23 )   (221 )
  Pro-forma loss in accordance with United States GAAP   (5,471 )   (4,267 )
  Pro-forma loss per share, basic and diluted in accordance with $ 7.06   $ 6.30  
  United States GAAP, in dollars            

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company adopted the new provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3870 on “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”, which requires companies to adopt the fair value based method for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. As a result, the Company is required to expense stock options issued to employees and directors. The Company has applied the new provisions retroactively by a charge to retained earnings and a corresponding increase to contributed surplus in the amount of $523,000 on January 1, 2004 with respect to employee stock options granted in 2003 and 2002,

  f) Consideration given by a Vendor to a Customer

F-32


EITF Issue 01-09 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products) was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2001. EITF Issue 01-19 requires all sales incentives to direct or indirect customers of the Company, including slotting fees, contractual marketing payments, coupons, rebates, free product and similar sales incentives to be accounted for as a reduction of revenue when recognized by the Company in its Statement of Operations. Effective January 1, 2006 the Company will adopt EIC-156 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants concerning “ Accounting By A Vendor for Consideration Given to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products” which prescribes similar presentation as EITF 01-09. Although this difference between US and Canadian GAAP affects the line items of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative expenses, it does not constitute a difference between US and Canadian GAAP in the calculation of Loss for the Year.

The US GAAP figures for the aforementioned line items are as follows:

      2005     2004     2003  
         
                     
  Sales   8,732     11,097     12,767  
                     
  Selling, general and administrative                  
       expenses   (5,183 )   (5,098 )   (5,051 )

  g)

United States GAAP requires disclosure of the total expense related to rentals paid under operating leases. The total amount included in the operating statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $214,418, $217,115 and $196,234 respectively.

   
  h) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     
   

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 153 - Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets - An amendment of APB 29. This statement amends APB 29, which is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured at the fair value of the assets exchanged with certain exceptions. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     
   

In December 2004, the FASB issued revised SFAS No. 123 (SFAS 123R), “Share-Based Payment”. This standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value-based method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method. SFAS No. 123R is effective for financial statements issued at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted FAS 123R for the 2005 fiscal year.

   

   

In February 2005, the EITF issued EITF Issue 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings Per Share”. EITF 04-8 was effective for periods ending after December 15, 2004 and requires certain contingently convertible instruments be included in diluted earnings per share. The adoption of EITF 04-8 did not change the methods of or results of the calculation of the company’s earnings per share.

     
   

In June 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. FAS 154 changes the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principles. Prior to FAS 154, voluntary changes in accounting principles were required to be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment within net income during the period of the change. FAS 154 requires retrospective

F-33


application to prior period financial statements unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 154 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

21 Restructuring Cost

During the year the Company entered into a number of restructuring activities in an effort to attain profitability. Costs of these activities are set out below:

  Management contract settlement and office lease buyout $  380,000  
  Employee termination and severance costs   193,000  
  Office leasehold improvements written off   90,000  
  Conversion cost, short-term debt   17,000  
         
    $  680,000  

The management contract settlement costs are the result of the Company terminating certain consulting agreements. The employee severance costs incurred during the year resulted from the termination of key management personnel. The office lease buyout was to terminate the office lease at 2489 Bellevue Avenue, West Vancouver, B.C. as of November 30, 2005 These contract settlement costs and severance costs were settled in cash ($276,000) and shares of the Company ($404,000).

The Company paid an additional finders fee of $130,750 to BG Capital, a controlling shareholder of the Company. BG Capital may return all, or any portion of the finders fee, at BG Capital’s option, to the company within 12 months of the closing of the private placement, and in turn purchase shares in the capital of the company at a price of $2 USD per share with the returned portion of the BG Capital finders fees.

EXHIBIT 99.2

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors
Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation

We consent to the incorporation by reference in Registration Statements No. 333-131713 and No. 333-100743 on Form S-8 of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation of our report dated November 23, 2006, with respect to the consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2003, which report appears in the December 31, 2005, annual report on Form 20-F/A of Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation.

Our report dated November 23, 2006 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
