Plasticon International, Inc.'s Wholly Owned Subsidiary Pro Mold, Inc. to Manufacture the "Hurricane Clip"
Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Apr 27, 2007
LEXINGTON, KY, Apr 27, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Plasticon International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PLNI) announced today that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Pro Mold, Inc. has recently started initial production on the "Hurricane Clip." The "Hurricane Clip" is designed to protect homes and businesses from potentially damaging hurricanes; the "Hurricane Clips" are a replacement for traditional plywood used by most residential and commercial property owners.
The "Hurricane Clip" is made of a durable plastic that attaches to windows and door frames while holding a screen made of pliable fabric. Over the years many property owners have resorted to plywood for protection from damaging winds and flying debris swept up from strong hurricane winds. The pliable fabric offers the added protection of allowing air to pass through windows, keeping the pressure inside stabilized while preventing flying debris from penetrating the home.
"Hurricane Katrina had estimated damage around $81.2 million, making it the costliest storm in U.S. history. We believe that this clip could change the way people think about home protection. Most of the hardest hit areas over the last three years have used protection that has been around for many years and there has been very little improvement. Having one of the "Hurricane Clips" could save a lot of lives and cut damage costs due to Hurricane winds and debris by millions of dollars," stated Jim Turek, CEO and President of Plasticon International, Inc.

RushNet Inc. Puts The Apple Rush Line Into Cans
Last Update: 1:36 PM ET Apr 19, 2007
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Apr 19, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN) announced today that it plans to take its Organic Apple Rush 100% Juice Soda line into cans. The move was encouraged by favorable pre-sell orders generated by its brokers and distributors for the bottle line. The company plans to introduce the Apple Rush cans in 5 flavors, Original Apple, Raspberry, Pomegranate, Strawberry and will roll out a new flavor, Grape. The company is targeting late second quarter 2007 for the introduction. To see renderings of the can line-up go to www.applerush.com/newcans.htm.
The 12oz cans of Apple Rush will open many new distribution channels for the brand and substantially expand sales volume. As demand grows for sparkling 100% juice beverages, especially Organic, it comes increasingly from these different channels. Cans open the door to middle and high school lunch systems, colleges, vending distributors and sports/entertainment stadiums, venues where glass bottles are not the package of choice or even allowed. To achieve the marketing objectives of much broader distribution and higher consumer sales though, the company plans to seek additional funding for its projected capital needs.
Robert Corr, President of RushNet, stated, "Today's youth are still too limited in the choices they have available on and around school campuses. Our Organic Sparkling 100% Juice line-up gives them a great healthy alternative. The line is drawn at 100% juice, in the thrust against the obesity problem, where you can be sure there's no high fructose syrup being added. With a great tasting line-up of Organic 100% Juice beverages, in a versatile container accepted everywhere, the choice becomes easy. We promise to keep the flavors tasting great and to deliver wholesome refreshment to all of our potential customers, young and older."

RushNet, Inc Buys Chicago Beverage Distributor
Last Update: 9:44 AM ET Apr 17, 2007
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Apr 17, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN) is pleased to announce that the company has signed a contract to acquire the assets of Garden Beverage, Inc., a Metro-Chicago beverage distributor. Garden Beverage will become a subsidiary of RushNet, Inc in an acquisition that was financed entirely by RushNet. The very capable Garden Beverage management team will continue to operate this growing distributorship through the transition period, and they will also play an integral role in the future direction and operation of the three year old company.
Garden Beverage hit its 2006 sales projection with revenues in excess of $5 million, and sales during Q1 of 2007 exceeded those for the same period in 2006. RushNet is implementing an aggressive growth strategy for Garden in 2007 that includes both an expanded distribution territory and deeper penetration into their existing territory for the fine, high-performing brands they handle. Additionally, two new divisions are being created that will focus on health-orientated Specialty Beverages and On-Premise sales. To support all of the above RushNet intends to add additional personnel and trucks to meet the anticipated demand in the 2007 summer beverage season.
RushNet President Robert Corr stated: "I'm glad we got this deal done as it, importantly, gives us a division focused entirely on distribution in our home market. Garden Beverage is an inspired company and has grown impressively in a short time to become a real factor in the beverages it distributes. I am looking forward to working with all of the people there to help take them to the next level. As I've stated before it's only by controlling your distribution that a company ensures its success and longevity in the beverage industry. In the 3rd largest market in the U.S. we now have that platform, and it will give the people at Garden and the brands they carry, along with RushNet's marketed brands, the deeper market penetration and rich growth."
He continued, "It's a fine opportunity now for RushNet and its shareholders to see real appreciation in their investments in the future. Some proposed deals turn out to not be in the best interests of shareholders, i.e. burdensome debt and ownership dilution, and we back away from them like the brewery acquisition and PPM announced last year. However, we continue to explore other opportunities in the manufacturing of beverages which would be the third phase of RushNet's long- term growth strategy, distribution is the second. We got the Garden deal done in eight months, which is within the customary window for such things. I want to thank our shareholders for their patience and support of us."
PLNI should also do this.....
SLJB Takes Offensive Position: States Forward Momentum Toward Original Business Goals
Last Update: 2:25 PM ET Apr 13, 2007
LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 13, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- SLJB (PINKSHEETS: SLJB) today announced that it began a "seek and destroy" mission on all individuals and/or the organizations they either directly or indirectly represent tied to slanderous media campaigns and internet blog-site defamations. A spokesperson for the company said today the SLJB has had its first success in dealing with one of these scandalous persons and are now in the position of collecting damages tied to the outcome of the legal proceedings which followed the identification of the guilty party through the discovery of their IP (internet protocol) address that they utilized to post their unsupported and slanderous attacks on both business and personal issues involving the company.
"We can almost consider this a new source of revenue for our company," the spokesperson joked. "There are a lot of people on the hook for this non-sense, and we know who they are. We also know the platforms from where they attack our people and our organization. We will bring them all to like terms," the spokesperson continued.
The Company wanted to state its gratitude to its shareholders through this difficult time for their patience and understanding. SLJB will now move forward and only forward toward its original and still noteworthy goals it set in the beginning of this IPO initiative.
We made promises to shareholders and to longstanding business partners. We intend to keep them, and no one or no group will deter us from this ever.

RSHN Apple Rush Finds Juicy Success at ExpoWest
Last Update: 2:52 PM ET Mar 21, 2007
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Mar 21, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets: RSHN) is pleased to inform it's stockholders that the Organic 100% Juice Apple Rush line was a sparkling success at the Expo West in Anaheim, CA. Attendance at the Expo, the world's largest natural food show, was up 10% to over 47,000 trade personnel. Their response to the six flavor line was overwhelming; Buyers from Distributors and Retail Chains immediately authorized the line.
Attendees widely praised the company's Organic 100% Juice beverages. Many people who sampled them stated that the Original Apple was better than Martenelli's(R), and taste testers were openly smitten with both the Pomegranate Apple and Strawberry Apple flavors, in addition to the appealing look of the products. Frequently heard was the comment that IZZE(R) and Knudsens(R) do not hold any comparison to the taste of the Apple Rush line.
A Company spokesman stated, "We're bottling 5 truckloads of the 6 Apple Rush beverages soon, and have great expectations for the line. The company has orders from coast to coast as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, and we firmly believe it is because of three basic yet important things; our product is Organic, has broad consumer appeal due to superior packaging, and tastes great, better than the competition."
Robert Corr, RushNet CEO further stated, "Organic foods and beverages are a $5 Billion category, with growth of 20% in the last year(a). RushNet's timing on this product couldn't be better. We're shipping samples daily to the many distributors and retailers who showed interest at the most recent trade shows. ExpoWest was a fabulous event for RushNet, and I believe it to be the best response so far for a new product introduction."
Additionally, the Company is in discussions with two regional bottlers, who now hold Organic Certification, in order to expand its production across the U.S. for the Apple Rush line. More capital will be needed for new production locations and the Company is seeking private placement capital at this time.
The e-water(TM) label redesign and new carton design are progressing, as is the government approval in Japan for marketing the product there. The Company received notification this week from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that e-water(R) is now a Registered Trademark (Reg. No. 3,218,693), owned by RushNet, Inc.
