RushNet Racks Up Solid Results at Major Trade Shows Wednesday October 18, 9:25 am ET
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN - News) is pleased to announce the success of the Company's October 2006 exhibitions at two major trade shows, Expo East (Baltimore) and the National Association of Convenience Stores Show (NACS; Las Vegas). The Company's all-natural and organic products generated tremendous interest from trade buyers: distributors, chains and independents.
Expo East Highlights
Numerous retailers praised the Company's Organic Apple RUSH(TM) and Organic Apple RUSH with Raspberry(TM) as "real winners" for their exceptional taste and design. This rousing send-off has RushNet working with full speed to make these beverages available to wholesalers. The Company believes that their new sparkling and organic all-juice beverages stand alone in the dominant 12-oz. size, and have no counterparts. Izze's and Knudsen's sparkling 12oz juices are not organic.
e-water(TM) made another big impression here and could be seen in people's hands all over the convention. It was definitely the water of choice at Expo East, and it has recently garnered new distributor approvals.
Spanish-language labels fanned export commitments from Puerto Rico and Peru for Ginseng Rush, Ginseng Rush XXX(TM) and Rush Ginseng Cola(TM). English-speaking Jamaica, reflecting Caribbean partiality to ginseng, also committed. Orders from distributors in all three nations are expected soon.
NACS Show Highlights
RushNet was barraged with over 100 formal inquiries--from large distributors, convenience-store chains and independents--about the Company's product lines, especially, Organic Apple RUSH(TM) and Organic Apple RUSH with Rasberry(TM), e-water(TM) and the new 2-Pak of American Ginseng Capsules.
"NACS was, without a doubt, our best show ever," said Robert Corr, President of RushNet, Inc. "There was enormous interest in our products; we are following up all inquiries now. In coming months, the Company expects to do a lot of business with convenience stores and gas stations."
Sales Update
By mid-October 2006, RushNet, Inc. had achieved sales equal to its entire 2005 revenues. Sales are running 20% ahead of last year's pace.
Coming Tradeshows
RushNet will exhibit at the 9th America's Food and Beverage Show in Miami on November 8-10. This show, consistent with RushNet's aggressive export strategy, brings together buyers and exhibitors from 28 countries, many from Latin America. RushNet will also exhibit at regional Natural Products tradeshows in Seattle and Orlando. These shows bookend the large Miami show and complete RushNet's 2006 tradeshow schedule.
RushNet Inc. is licensed marketing agent for Rush Beverage Company whose products include all-natural soft drinks Ginseng Rush®, Ginseng Rush XXX(TM), Rush Ginseng Cola(TM) and the Organic Apple RUSH(TM) line. RushNet, Inc. is brand owner of e-water(TM).

BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RushNet, Inc. (RSHN.PK), the Chicago area-based beverage marketing company announced that recently it has received a trade mark for its e-water® brand in Japan. The company has compiled over two years in its quest to secure the mark, which required strategic legal action to actually have trademark status cleared in Japan. http://www.applerush.com/trademark1.pdf In an effort to capitalize on the opportunities now available in Japan, as well as an upsurge of interest in e-water® elsewhere, RushNet has granted a license for the marketing rights to the e-water® (a U.S. Registered Trademark) brand to the Apple Rush Company Inc. (APRU.PK). Apple Rush will also be granted the authority to produce e-water® and RushNet will receive a royalty payment for the rights based on case sales.
Apple Rush will introduce e-water® to its entire National and International distribution network. Apple Rush’s Garden Distributing division continues working to gain distribution in Metro-Chicago area Heath Food Stores and Health Clubs & Gyms.
With its newly acquired License Agreement for e-water®, Apple Rush has embarked on the process of interviewing potential import distributors in Japan. Apple Rush envisions e-water® as a strong asset that provides a great alternative to the sugared electrolyte waters with, compared to e-water®, their meager enhancement levels. It will be Apple Rush’s goal to find the most cost effective delivery system for its potential customers in Japan.
