News Release

CORONA, Calif., May 21, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hansen Natural Corporation (Nasdaq:HANS) announced today that it received an additional Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on May 16, 2007, stating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to the delayed filing of the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (the "First Quarter 10-Q"), and that this filing delinquency serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company plans to present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to Nasdaq in writing no later than May 23, 2007.

The Company had delayed its filings due to an investigation conducted by a special committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Special Committee"), assisted by independent legal counsel and forensic accountants engaged by the Special Committee, which has been completed. As a result of the Company's filing of its Form 10-Q on May 14, 2007 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, in accordance with the requirement of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"), the Panel has extended the time within which the Company may file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the "2006 10-K") to June 14, 2007. The Company believes it will be able to file its 2006 10-K by this date, and anticipates filing the First Quarter 10-Q as soon as practicable and within any time period required by Nasdaq to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The filing of the 2006 10-K and First Quarter 10-Q will enable Hansen to become current in its filing obligations.
