RushNet, Inc. Expands Product Distribution; Defines Revenue Stream
September 23, 2005 15:42:01 (ET)
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Sep 23, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN.PK) announced today that its participation at Expo East 2005 (September 17-19) was a total success and furthered the company's objective in expanding distribution to eastern seaboard and southeast regional markets in the USA. Expo East is one of the nation's two largest natural/organic product tradeshows attracting 1500+ exhibitors and drawing over 30,000 industry attendees this year.
Robert Corr, president of RushNet, Inc., stated, "There was keen interest and broad enthusiasm for both our new products and redesign of the Ginseng Rush line. Slotting commitments came from important distributors and retailers along the Eastern Seaboard and in the Midwest. Indeed, one of our major distributors, a very large firm, was so impressed they expanded warehousing of our products to four additional facilities."
Said Robert Tepper, National Sales Manager for RushNet, Inc., "The Natural Products Expo was a comeback celebration for Ginseng Rush(TM) products and an exciting introduction for fabulous e-water(TM). RushNet went into the show with a newly established nationwide network of brokers and came out of the show with nationwide distribution available to all natural food retailers. We are growing! Attendees swamped our booth--admiring our upgrade packaging, new products and merchandising tools including coolers, racks, T-shirts, hats and posters."
Corr added, "Hundreds of samples of Ginseng Rush(TM), Ginseng Rush XXX(TM), e-water(TM), Ginseng XXXX(TM) potent extract and Ginseng Rush(TM) capsules were distributed to the buyers over three days. Robert Tepper and I were elated by the industry acclaim for our licensed ginseng products and RushNet's e-water(TM).
"In fact, the tradeshow affirmed e-water(TM) as a thoroughly unique water with great taste and popular appeal," continued Corr." "There was no other water at the show to compete with e-water(TM). We have full-spectrum electrolytes enhanced with fulvic acid. No one offers that unique and powerful combination."
RushNet plans to capitalize on the tradeshow's appetite for its high-test ginseng extract by offering a range of high-potency ginseng products, including all-natural energy drinks.
Separately, RushNet, Inc., marketing agent for Rush Beverage Company, clarified its per case royalty arrangements pertaining to the licensed "Rush" brands. RushNet, Inc. retains 62.5% of the net revenue from sales of these brands, and is brand owner of e-water(TM).

RushNet, Inc. Updates ``Truth in Ginseng`` Campaign
September 27, 2005 11:33:02 (ET)
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Sep 27, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN.PK) announced today that the first round of laboratory tests pursuant to the company's aforementioned "Truth in Ginseng Challenge" has been completed. The object of these scientific tests is to measure the actual ginsenosides content of popular beverages listing "ginseng" on their ingredient labels. Ginsenosides are adaptogens, the active ingredients found in ginseng root (Panax sp.). A second independent analytical laboratory will now verify these first test results and expand the analysis to non-beverage ginseng products.
Background
On 19 January 2005, RushNet publicly issued its "Truth in Ginseng Challenge." The declared mission of this campaign "is threefold: 1) to urge industry-wide full-disclosure in ginseng labeling, 2) to support stringent testing and authentication of ginseng products, and 3) to educate consumers about beverages proclaiming 'ginseng' on the bottle or can."
Testing
In keeping with this challenge, RushNet Inc. arranged for scientific testing of best-selling ginseng energy drinks sold in North America, including RushNet marketed Ginseng Rush(TM) and Ginseng Rush XXX(TM), by a licensed FDA-compliant analytical laboratory. This laboratory employed sophisticated High Pressure Liquid Chromatography to measure levels of ginsenosides in the contents of unopened, factory-sealed containers of sample beverages.
Commentary
Said Robert Corr, president of RushNet, Inc., "Phase I, ginsenosides testing of popular drinks listing ginseng on their labels, is completed. Only after a second independent lab confirms the interesting findings will we publish final and complete test results. In addition, we are expanding our ginsenosides testing program to include non-beverage products such as ginseng capsules and extracts."
"We at RushNet respect the ginseng herb and recognize its magnificent 5,000-year history as a plant very beneficial to mankind," continued Corr. "We also believe that consumers should get what they pay for. RushNet proudly lists the metric ginseng content of its marketed certified American ginseng products on the packaging. If other companies tout ginseng as an ingredient on their beverage labels and in their advertising, the ginseng should be there in detectable quantities. By law and by right, the consumer deserves no less."
Corr added that stricter and more detailed federal labeling requirements, and severe penalties for breaches, are necessary to protect consumers from ginseng legerdemain.

RushNet, Inc. Urges Sweeping Ginseng Reform Legislation Oct 26, 2005 11:33:00 AM Copyright Business Wire 2005 BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2005--
RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN.PK) announced today its staunch support of federal Senate Bill 854 (S-854), "Ginseng Harvest Labeling Act of 2005," introduced by Senator Russell Feingold of Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate in April. If passed into law, S-854 would require that any person offering ginseng (Panax sp.) for sale in any form shall disclose to the purchaser the ginseng's country of harvest. Heavy fines would apply to violators of this requirement.
Senator Feingold has declared that inferior quality ginseng, grown in Canada or Asia and often contaminated with harmful chemicals and banned pesticides, is intentionally mislabeled as "Wisconsin-grown American ginseng" and sells at top prices.
RushNet noted all its ginseng products use only 100% pure Wisconsin-grown American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) in certified quantities.
Robert Corr, president of RushNet, Inc., stated, "Senator Feingold's recent bill will help to curb the deception and fraud that plagues the ginseng market. In 2002, the senator battled successfully to outlaw the term 'Siberian ginseng.' This term applied to a plant Eleutherococcus senticosus, which isn't ginseng, but a cheap, inferior substitute. Nowadays, ginseng on a label can refer only to genus Panax."
Corr, who has devoted 35 years to the ginseng trade, warned that consumers still require additional levels of protection from ginseng charlatans. "We urge Senator Feingold to introduce additional legislation requiring manufacturers to list ginsenosides content on products purporting to contain ginseng. Ginsenosides are ginseng's signature active ingredients."
Corr said RushNet commissioned laboratory tests of best-selling canned beverages touting ginseng on their labels and in their advertising. Preliminary results showed zero detectable ginsenosides. The results were so astounding that RushNet has commissioned a second independent lab test of these beverages for ginsenosides content.

RushNet, Inc. Announces New Item Ginseng Viral Care Wednesday October 26, 2:25 pm ET
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2005--RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN.PK - News) is pleased to announce the expansion of its line of Ginseng Rush(TM) capsules to include Ginseng Viral Care, a formula consisting of powdered ginseng root, green tea, ginger, rose hips, acerola and other special ingredients. ADVERTISEMENT
The company noted that yesterday's segment of ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" cited a Canadian double-blind placebo study demonstrating ginseng's anti-viral properties. The clinical study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (October 25, 2005; vol 173, issue 9), involved 323 adults. Those given ginseng extract (Panax quinquefolius) suffered 25% fewer viral colds than subjects given a placebo. Those taking ginseng also reduced their incidence of multiple colds by more than half compared to the placebo group.
According to the authors of the study, "Our results can be compared with those for many of the common antiviral drugs such as rimantadine, amantadine, zanamivir or oseltamivir for the prevention or treatment of influenza."
Robert Corr, president of RushNet, Inc., said, "The scientific confirmation of ginseng's powerful anti-viral properties will support our launch, in early 2006, of a highly profitable line of all-natural Ginseng Viral Care(TM) products. We have combined pure Wisconsin-grown American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) with other quality ingredients known to enhance immune function and overall health. The result is a product which is very timely given the likelihood of raging influenza epidemics going forward."
Corr added, "RushNet gives consumers honest measures of certified unadulterated American ginseng harvested in Wisconsin, where soil and climate are ideal for ginseng cultivation. Wisconsin ginseng is world renowned for its purity and potency."
"Foreign ginseng is suspect with regard to its potency and possible contamination by chemicals and banned pesticides, as pointed out by U.S. Senator Russell Feingold," Corr continued. "To make matters worse, some manufacturers who list ginseng as an ingredient test zero for detectable ginsenosides, the unique active ingredient in ginseng. At RushNet, we are committed not only to offering consumers the best ginseng possible but also to exposing ginseng charlatans no matter how big they are."
