Arrowhead Water Announces First Quarter Results and Corporate Developments

Arrowhead Water Products Ltd. (TSX:AWA) ("Arrowhead" or the "Company") reports
its unaudited consolidated financial and operating results for the first quarter
ended December 31, 2011. This is the first fiscal period that is being reported
by the Company under the new IFRS rules. For complete disclosure of Arrowhead's
financial results and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), please go
to www.SEDAR.com and view documents listed under Arrowhead Water Products Ltd. 


The Company also reports that it has now converted all major retail customers to
the new innovative one-way environmentally friendly 15-litre PET bottle. As a
result of this conversion from the traditional polycarbonate 18.9-litre (5
gallon) bottle, the Company has reduced its bottle deposit liability for the old
18.9-litre bottles with a $10 per bottle deposit from approximately $1.2 Million
to approximately $5,000 on this date. Also, as part of this exercise, the
Company has streamlined operations by moving all 15- litre bottling to its
Edmonton plant and closed its Calgary plant, which has resulted in major cost
savings. The Company has also been working closely with its retail vendors to
ship product directly via distribution centres in Western Canada.
