Lance Leonard, Chief Executive Officer of True Drinks, commented, "Since rolling out AquaBalla" Naturally Flavored Water in July 2012, we have made significant strides in all major aspects of our business including building brand recognition, achieving national distribution, increasing production and operating efficiencies culminating with revenue generation of approximately $1.0 million in 2012. After initial sales success with our original formula which contained 30 calories and 7 grams of sugar, we made a strategic decision to develop and launch a great-tasting, zero-calorie, sugar-free formulation. We introduced our new formula to retailers in the first quarter of 2013, and we are gaining traction with the improved positioning of our product as arguably the healthiest beverage for children on the market today. We had sales of approximately $280,000 for the first three months of 2013. We are shipping nationally to a variety of retailers, including Safeway and Toys 'R' Us. By the end of the first quarter of 2013, we achieved distribution to over 4,000 locations around the United States. As the sales cycle on our new formulation has gained traction, we currently have commitments for distribution to more than 14,000 locations by the end of the second quarter with further commitments pending final confirmation. Our goal is to achieve distribution to over 38,000 locations by the end of 2013."
