Industry: Consumer Goods
XStream Beverage Network, Inc. (XStream) develops, markets, sells and distributes new age beverage category natural sodas, fruit juices and energy drinks. The Company is also a wholesale distributor of third-party, new-age beverages, energy drinks, juices and non-carbonated sodas, specialty and nutritional drinks, vitamin waters, and non-alcoholic beer. New Age or alternative beverages are distinguishable from mainstream carbonated soft drinks in that they tend to have less carbonation and are made from natural ingredients. The Company, through its subsidiary, Total Beverage Network, focuses to build a network of small to medium-sized beverage distribution businesses, with an emphasis on the East Coast of the United States. XStream's activities are focused in the new age and alternative beverage segments of the beverage market. The new age beverage category includes non-carbonated ready-to-drink iced teas, lemonades, juice cocktails, single serve juices, ready-to-drink iced coffees, energy drinks, sports drinks, soy drinks and single-serve still water (flavored and unflavored) with beverages, including sodas, that are considered natural, as well as sparkling juices. Brand name products, which are part of this beverage category include natural juices and juice drinks, such as Odwalla, Naked Juice and Snapple, sports and energy drinks, such as Gatorade and Red Bull, bottled water and enhanced waters, such as Evian and Vitamin Water, and ready-to-drink teas, such as Arizona Iced Tea. XStream's brand portfolio is directed to consumers who prefer new age beverage products to traditional carbonated soft drinks, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and 7-Up. The Company's products include Yohimbe Energy Drink, Chinese Rocket Fuel, Maui Juice Company and Squeeze. Yohimbe Energy Drink is an energy drink similar in taste and appearance to Red Bull, which is sold in 250 milliliter cans. The principal point of difference is the addition of extract of yohimbe, a botanical that is said to be associated with improved blood supply to the muscles and an impact on human libido. Launched during the year ended December 31, 2005, Chinese Rocket Fuel is also an energy drink that is similar in taste and appearance to the Red Bull. The principal point of difference is the addition of extracts of Chinese herbs, including Panax Ginseng and Schizandra. Unlike Red Bull and Yohimbe, Chinese Rocket Fuel is sold in 476 millitres cans. Maui Juice Company's products include a line of natural juices and juice blends that contain no artificial ingredients, preservatives or added color. The product range is only available in Hawaii and includes seven traditional Maui Juice flavor varieties, including Noni Lemonade, Ginger Blast and Spirulina Smoothie, all of which are sold in 16 ounce and 32 ounce plastic bottles, and three new products: Passion Fruit Guava and Orange Juice, Pineapple Orange and Guava Orange that were launched in June 2005. Because these products have a limited shelf life, the product is sold exclusively through cold cabinet channels where natural juices are found. Squeeze is a line of traditional carbonated soft drinks, sometimes referred to as Gourmet Sodas that are sweetened with cane sugar and have natural flavor systems. This line of seven flavor varieties is sold in Old Fashioned 12 ounce glass bottles. The Company, through its network, also distributes a variety of beverages, alternative and new age beverages, energy drinks, juices and non-carbonated sodas, vitamin waters, specialty and nutrition drinks and non-alcoholic beer.
