JONES SODA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

(Unaudited)

Six months ended June 30, 2001

1. Nature and continuance of operations:

    Jones Soda Co. (the "Company" or "Jones Soda") develops, produces, markets, and distributes "alternative" or "new age" beverages. The Company's main product lines include the brands: Jones Soda Co., a carbonated soft drink; WhoopAss, a high energy drink; Jones Juice, a non-carbonated juice & tea drink; and WAZU, a natural spring water. Urban Juice and Soda Company Limited, the Company's predecessor, was incorporated in 1986 under the Company Act of British Columbia. On December 31, 1999, Urban Juice continued its incorporation in Wyoming. On August 3, 2000, Urban Juice merged with its wholly-owned Washington subsidiary, Jones Soda Co., and continued operations under this name. The merged company has two operating subsidiaries, Jones Soda Co. (USA) Inc., and Wazu Products Limited, as well as a non-operating subsidiary, myJones.com Inc.

    The Company's future operations are dependent upon the market's acceptance of its products. There can be no assurance the Company's products will be able to secure sufficient market acceptance to generate income from operations. Operations to date have primarily been financed through the issuance of common stock and short-term debt. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred income of $32,596 and loss of $128,329, respectively, and generated negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise additional financing and also to generate future profitable operations.

2.  Significant accounting policies:

    (a)
    Basis of presentation:

        These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

        The financial information as at June 30, 2001 and for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for its fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a complete fiscal year. The results of operation for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a complete financial year or for any other period.

        The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in its 2000 annual report on Form 10-KSB.

7


    (b)
    Use of estimates:

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.

    (c)
    Foreign currency translation:

        To December 31, 1999, the functional currency of the Company was the Canadian dollar, with the financial statements prepared using the United States (U.S.) dollar as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses were translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The translation adjustment resulting from the process was presented separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Exchange gains or losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated monetary items were included in the consolidated statement of operations.

        At December 31, 1999, the Company migrated its operations to Seattle, Washington, and subsequently the majority of the Company's transactions are originally denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, for the period ended June 30, 2001 the functional currency of all companies within the group is the US dollar. As such, all foreign exchange gains or losses, including those arising from translating Canadian operations to US dollars, have been included in income. For the period ended June 30, 2001, the Company incurred a foreign exchange gain of $47,001 (2000—Nil).

    (d)
    Cash and cash equivalents:

        The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity date at purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

3.  Line of credit:

    The Company has a $3,000,000 bank line expiring March 22, 2003. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% (8.25% at June 30, 2001).

4.  Stockholders' equity:

    (a)
    Stock options and stock-based compensation:

        During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company issued incentive stock options to purchase 207,000 shares of the Company's common stock to employees. The options have an exercise price of C$0.90 per share expiring May 27, 2006. The granting of these options have been accounted for in accordance with the intrinsic value method under APB 25. As these options were granted with an exercise price less than the market price at the date of grant, $22,500 compensation expense was recorded in the period as a result of the issuance of these options.

8


5.  Segmented information and export sales:

    The Company operates in one industry segment, with operations in both the United States and Canada. During the period ended June 30, 2001, sales in Canada were approximately $1,927,983 (2000—$1,474,518); sales in the United States were approximately $11,028,232 (2000—$7,625,913); sales in the United Kingdom were approximately $68,313 (2000—$60,521).

6.  Recent accounting pronouncements

    In April 2001, the FASB issued Emerging Issue Task Force 00-25 "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products" ("EITF 00-25"). The abstract sets out the FASB's interpretation of United States GAAP with respect to a vendor's income statement characterization of consideration paid to a reseller of the vendor's products. Specifically, these types of consideration are presumed to be a reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor's income statement. The Company's current policies with respect to these consideration is to characterize them as a cost when recognized in the Company's income statement. Adoption of EITF 00-25 is required for periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and requires reclassification of prior periods presented for comparative purposes. The company plans to adopt EITF 00-25 at that time. Adoption of EITF will have no impact on the Company's net income (loss) for any period.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Net Sales

    For the three months ended June 30, 2001, net sales were $7,691,235, an increase of $1,728,245, or 29% over the $5,962,990 sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in net sales was attributable to increased sales of Jones Soda and Jones Whoopass through the existing distribution network, and, to a lesser extent, increasing sales of Jones Juice, a non-carbonated juice & tea line launched in April 2001. As of June 30, 2001, Jones Soda products were sold in 45 states of the United States and ten provinces or territories of Canada.

Gross Profit

    Gross profit was $2,867,266 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $402,539, or 16.3% over the $2,464,727 gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 37.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 41.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in gross profit was attributable to increased net sales. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was attributable to a lower gross margin earned on the Jones Juice product extension.

Total Operating Expenses

    Total operating expenses were $2,614,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $395,029, or 17.8% higher than total operating expenses of $2,219,458 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. Total operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 34.0% from 37.20%. The increase in total operating expenses was attributable to increased promotion and selling expenses and to a lesser extent general and administrative expenses.

Promotion and Selling Expenses

    Promotion and selling expenses were $1,881,746 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $324,406, or 20.8% from $1,557,340 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Promotion and selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 24.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 26.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in promotion and selling expenses was primarily attributable to increases in distributor programs associated with the increased size of the Company's distribution network and associated volume as well as costs associated with the launch of the Company's Jones Juice product.

General and Administrative Expenses

    General and administrative expenses were $732,741 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $70,623, or 10.7% compared to $662,118 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
