John Sleeman Quotations

We had a challenging quarter due to the wet and cool spring across the country, the National Hockey League lockout and continued price discounting in our key markets,

While we are pleased with the preliminary information on our third quarter and are confident about continued growth in the fourth quarter we have revised our previous guidance due to increased competitive price activities in the Canadian beer market and their estimated impacts on our prospects for the remainder of the year,

After several years of expansion, it is time to take a closer look at the way we operate and make the necessary changes to improve the business and our cost structure for the future,

Although we will not achieve this goal, we are confident in the direction we are headed.

The fourth quarter of 2005 was a very challenging period.
