In General

We are in the business of manufacturing and selling bottled water products under our own proprietary brand or for others under their brands (also known as private label) through our wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Beverages, Inc. ("UBI"). Our proprietary brand is "Syfo" which has been in distribution since 1949 and commands significant shelf space at some of the region's largest grocery store chains, particularly Publix Super Markets, Inc. ("Publix").

In 1998, we acquired the Syfo Brand, (see below) and began manufacturing and selling Syfo Brand products directly to customers such as large southeastern chain grocery stores....
