COMPANY NEWS AND PRESS RELEASES FROM OTHER SOURCES: Billy Martin's USA Announces Buyback of Company Stock
NEW YORK, May 17, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Billy Martin's USA, Inc. (Pink Sheets:BLYM), the upscale apparel and accessory brand with a 26-year history and heritage, announced today that the company will immediately begin to aggressively buy back BLYM stock.
According to CEO Doug Newton, who founded the company's first "western-lifestyle" retail store in New York City in 1978, "Our stock is one of the best buys in the market today, and we believe the best investment we can make is in ourselves."
With 175 million shares in the float, out of a total of 340 million issued, Newton said, "BLYM is selling at a fraction of its potential value, and we believe that buying our stock will be both a bargain and blessing for us now and in the future. We also believe the buy back program can maximize return for all our shareholders while increasing the value of BLYM stock."
"Stock prices aside," Newton said, "our shareholder return over the long haul ultimately will be determined by our operating performance and the execution of our business strategies. But right at the moment, our stock price is undervalued, and so, like making horse shoes, we need to strike while the iron is hot."

COMPANY NEWS AND PRESS RELEASES FROM OTHER SOURCES: Billy Martin's USA, Inc. Unveils Plan to Launch Equi-Sport Apparel Line
LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Billy Martin's USA (Pink Sheets:BLYM), the 26-year-old, born-and-bred American brand known for its apparel and accessory products with a "western flair," today announced its plans to launch its Equi-Sport Line of apparel.
The new line will fuse 'Hollywood Hip' fashion and styling with the latest, high-tech fabrications and materials. According to Elizabeth Israel., Billy Martin's sportswear designer (and no stranger to technical know-how, with graduate degrees in physics and computer science, including a Ph.D. from the Univ. of Colorado), the new, proposed Billy Martin's Equi-Sport line will be targeted to the rapidly growing market niche of both western and English equestrian enthusiasts in the U.S., as well as the large and growing sector of U.S. collegiate equestrian teams.
Israel said, "Our goal is to take classic western and equestrian style elements and weave them into a collection of fashion-forward apparel products suited to perform technically for the amateur equestrian athlete, the serious competitor, as well as the fashion-conscious individual who wants to sport an equestrian 'look', whether the consumer actually rides a horse or not."
Billy Martin's is presently in negotiations with a prominent entertainment celebrity--herself an accomplished equestrian athlete who competed at both the collegiate and professional levels--to not only promote the new line, but also participate in its design. According to CEO, Doug Newton, "we hope to announce this celebrity personality soon, but only after we conclude negotiations with her bevy of counselors, lawyers, agent, publicist and personal manager. This celebrity is perfect for our new line, not only because of her personal appeal but because she actually knows about and believes in what she will be promoting."

At 8605 Sunset is a shop called Billy Martin's, a favorite clothing stop for Bruce Springsteen and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who are fans of their Western-style duds.
LOS ANGELES, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Doug Newton, CEO and founder of Billy Martin's USA (OTC: BLYM), has provided the following background and business growth strategy for the company for 2004 / 2005.
Background Billy Martin's is a born-and-bred American company with a 25 year old brand name and history. We specialize in the sale of unique, upscale western-inspired apparel, boots, belts, buckles, accessories, jewelry, home decor, furnishings, a few antiques and Americana. Our customer-base ranges from the average consumer to a "who's who" of celebrities from the world of entertainment, the arts, music, movies, sports, and politics.
We have outfitted Oscar and Emmy nominees, Broadway casts (Annie Get Your Gun), guest attendees and presenters at MTV, Country Music and Grammy awards programs. Our NYC & LA boutiques have been shown or mentioned in the background of feature length movies, on TV, radio and Soap Operas. Danielle Steele has referred to us in her best selling novel. For over 25 years, we have established a name to be proud of. Liz Smith called us "one of the best western shops in the world". The actor-director, Billy Bob Thornton said, "This place made me realize I have good taste."
Fast Growing "Western Lifestyle" Market - We compete in the "western lifestyle" market niche. Domestically, the size of the market is estimated at over $15 billion annually. Yankelovich market studies indicate that one-third of the U.S. population over age 18 display interest and enthusiasm for "western culture, activities and style". Applying the 33% estimate to current census data, this indicates there are at least 85 million people in the U.S. who spend some portion of their disposable income each year on "western-related" goods or services. Almost everything having an association with the qualities, romance, atmosphere, origins or history of "the west" -- and the wide open spaces of America -- can go into this specialized and expanding market category. Across the nation, from Montauk to Montana, the sky's the limit on the assortment of goods and services which can be developed and sold in the emerging western-lifestyle category.
Billy Martin's Growth Plan For 2004-2005, our business plan calls for extending the Billy Martin's brand name to new, significantly larger revenue sources.
We have a three-part growth strategy:
Part One is to license the brand for a wide assortment of wholesale products which can be manufactured and marketed by our licensing partner to better stores and chains in the US and abroad.
Categories to be licensed include:
Premium Sportswear and Denim Line Mass-Market Sportswear Line Outerwear (all with a western "twist") Boots and Hiking Boots Belts, Buckles, Bags, Jewelry and Accessories Equestrian-flavor apparel Western art products Billy Martin's Cowboy Cafe & Saloon
Part Two is open additional Billy Martin retail stores to be owned and operated by licensees or franchisees. New markets under consideration are: Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, South America, and select US markets including Palm Beach and Nashville.
Part Three is to make acquisitions and / or mergers with other companies consistent with our positioning. This will provide us with marketing, manufacturing and distribution efficiencies faster and more profitably than we can achieve through organic development.
By spreading the costs of additional market penetration to our licensing partners, we believe this growth strategy will produce new revenue opportunities and profitability for the company at relatively low cost. The unifying theme of our strategy is that we will mine our most valuable asset: the intellectual capital, and value of our 25 year old born-and-bred American brand name. Season after season, our goal will be to deliver a family of products, offering great value to our retail and wholesale customers alike. Based on our history and image as a true "western lifestyle" brand, we believe Billy Martin's can be the core brand for an offering of exceptional products in which we can take great pride.
