This compares to net income of $3.8 million, or $.21 per share, on revenues of $104.6 million for the three months ended May 1, 1999. &amp;quot;We believe that a long period of &amp;#39;holding&amp;#39; our position and trying to focus only on margin protection has come to a close with fiscal year 2000 ending,&amp;quot; stated Nick A. Caporella, chairman and chief executive officer. &amp;quot;We are experiencing significant brand growth and continued strengthening of pricing that is generating optimism in all segments of the soft drink industry and this should result in re-energized volume with revenue growth for our Company. Our industry position and strong balance sheet will afford us the opportunity to challenge external growth possibilities while we continue to refine a strategic plan to be implemented during our fiscal 2001 designed to maximize shareholder potential,&amp;quot; Caporella concluded.
