8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has been named a defendant in certain legal proceedings, including derivative and class action complaints. Company counsel has asserted various meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending these matters.  Certain of these complaints include allegations that the Company’s LaCroix branded products contain synthetic ingredients and thereby violate specified state consumer protection statutes and other laws.  The Company believes the litigation is without merit and will

not

have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
