A 140,000 word dump called another definitive agreement! :^)
GO STKO! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :^) :^)
Kevin's consistency is dependable! Read his record :^)
Hello! .025 was bottom! You missed it! :^)
One of Kevin's goals is making investors happy! :^)
I think it is the space we are focused on: the $600 billion health, wellness and goodness arena. This is a huge space with plenty of room for countless players big and small, and which is only just beginning to hit its stride in light of shifting preferences among increasingly health conscious, beneficent consumers. We’re not without our issues – legacy debt, historical stock performance – but we’re righting the ship, so keep an eye on us. In the coming quarters we will demonstrate our ability to seek out and secure investments in consumer products and services that are pragmatic, that are unique and that have a huge opportunity for ‘hockey stick’ growth -- the gazelle companies that I spoke of earlier. Our business development pipeline is rich. We are about to sign a deal with a Hall of Fame professional athlete who will be instrumental to our growth in terms of attracting financial and strategic partners, generating awareness for our brands and opening doors. We just put out a letter of intent to acquire an emerging franchise called Guava Home and Healthcare, which we are looking to close by the end of the quarter. The thing that my management team and I have been good at and have done a nice job over the last decade is in trend-spotting -- moving to where the hockey puck is going to be. We are always looking ahead to determine what trends are materializing, the right entry point and how we get in on the ground floor. Given the growth projections for the space in which we’re playing, I’m confident we’re going to make a lot of investors very happy.

SymbolPriceChangeSTKOD0.035-0.005JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stakool, Inc. (STKO), a developer of health and wellness products, announced strategic plans for entry into the High Pressure Food Processing market, while unveiling new consumer products division.At the center of the Company's new strategy is the High Pressure Processing (HPP) market. High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a rapidly growing method of food processing where food is subjected to elevated pressures (up to 87,000 pounds per square inch or approximately 6,000 atmospheres), without the addition of heat, to achieve microbial inactivation or to alter the food attributes in order to achieve consumer-desired qualities. Pressure inactivates most vegetative bacteria at pressures above 60,000 pounds per square inch.Advantages of High Pressure Processing (HPP)HPP Retains Food QualityMaintains Natural FreshnessExtends Microbiological Shelf LifeAlternative Technology to PasteurizationHPP has shown to reduce bacteria such as Listeria, E.coli, and Salmonella in packaged refrigerated products as diverse as ready-to-eat meats and raw ground beef and poultry; fresh fruits, juices, and smoothies; soups, wet salads, and sauces; and seafood and shellfish.Enters into a Letter of IntentStakool has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with one of the top high pressure processors in the US. The Company is currently doing approximately $5 million in annual revenues, with an upward capacity for up to $12 to $15 million annually.Kevin Quirk, the President and CEO of Stakool, Inc. commented, "The $30 billion health & Wellness food category is the fastest growing category in consumer goods made up of hundreds maybe thousands of local companies each exploiting a niche. However, there are still too many people who do not have access to affordable nutritional options. High Pressure Processing can change that allowing us to boost food safety, extend shelf-life and improve margins, while providing all consumers with fresh, wholesome, natural food at an affordable price. It is our goal to become the largest holder of HPP capacity in the country."Mr. Quirk commented, "We are extremely excited about this strategic move into the high pressure processing market. Although not unusual when dealing with a company with a large 'blue chip' customer base, out of respect for our new partner we are withholding the name of the company at this time pending final approval from the company, and their customers."Once approved, further details on this pending acquisition will be disclosed in a subsequent release, with any definitive or final agreement being filed in an 8K filing with the SEC upon completion of proper due diligence.Consumer Products DivisionThe Company also announces the development of a Consumer Products Group (CPG), or division, which will deploy products and brands that will benefit from the HPP technology. The Company will be staffing this new division with experienced CPG executives who know how to build consumer brands in multiple channels. While HPP will be the enabling technology, the Company believes the Consumer Products Group will provide unlimited growth opportunities as it folds in small all-natural and organics brands into the company.Mr. Quirk added, "The Company's strategic goal going forward will be to acquire well positioned health and natural food brands, run them through our HPP technology, and extend their product shelf-life tenfold which could be the difference between a local $1 million to a national $10 million plus business. Once established through our extensive marketing and branding campaigns, these companies could represent significant asset growth, or could be spun-off or sold to private equity investors for increased shareholder value. That is how we become a billion dollar company!"In an effort to better launch this new strategy the company plans on conducting a restructuring of the company's publicly traded common stock. The Board of Directors has elected this move to provide room for our acquisition growth strategy, and to enable us to close on the acquisition of our new core HPP technology. The Company believes this move should enhance value for our shareholders as the new structure will be accompanied by a water division, a new consumer products division, and revenue producing HPP operations.About Stakool Inc.Based in Jacksonville, FL, Stakool, and its subsidiaries seek "to be the catalyst to a better quality of life by offering health and wellness solutions that make sense and fit into the everyday lives of all consumers". Focused on three key strategic sectors; Food Processing, Water Management and Consumer Products, Stakool sets itself apart from the competition by marrying innovative technology and product development with perceptive marketing and sales service strategy.Safe Harbor Statement:Except for statements of historical fact, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking, and are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Letter to Shareholders of Stakool, Inc.
Globe Newswire 09/07/13 8:20 AM ET JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mr. Kevin Quirk, CEO of Stakool, Inc. (OTCBB:STKO), made the following announcement:Dear Shareholder,In an effort to continually keep our shareholders and interested parties informed, Stakool Inc.'s Board of Directors and management would like to update everyone on the current status of the Corporation.Great progress continues on our previously announced acquisitions as we undergo the necessary duty of completing our due diligence. Completing the audited financials on our target acquisitions is crucial as it is required by the SEC. We are excited to announce that under the currently signed letter of intent, our primary acquisition, which is one of the leaders in High Pressure Pasteurization (HPP), is scheduled to close on or before November 1, 2013.Starbucks' recent announcement of Evolution, their own line of HPP beverages, is one example of the upcoming transformations for healthier consumer product choices. Our vision is to become the leading HPP provider by creating our own wholesome brand of consumer products which will supply the growing demand of healthy consumers who are desiring better, healthier choices for themselves and their family.In working with our acquisition candidates, we feel confident that processing revenues alone will achieve an annual revenue rate of $30,000,000. This number is based on current customers introducing additional products from their portfolio to HPP. This number also includes new customers/categories that are realizing the incredible benefits of HPP. In maintaining our goal of becoming the largest capacity holder of HPP, we look forward to quickly expanding into geographies where there is currently little to no capacity. In addition to the $30,000,000, we have been able to identify an additional $10,000,000 plus an annual revenue simply by processing for companies who are currently using HPP at facilities that are not geographically beneficial to them. Other companies in this space are valued at four to six times revenue in recent merger transactions.Over the next several quarters we will begin to introduce new product lines and increase our order flow through new and existing customers. We will also pursue strategic vendor partnerships and marketing alliances in order to encourage maximum success. Finally, the company intends to reduce the amount of authorized common shares to 975 million once the reverse is effective.The management and Board of Directors of Stakool, Inc. place enormous value on your investment in this company. Our highest priority is to make your investment succeed by increasing revenue, profitability and ultimately, share value.We at Stakool, Inc. thank you for your continued interest and support and look forward to working together during these exciting upcoming developments of our incredible Corporation.Sincerely,/s/ Kevin P.
