Management now anticipates that 2008 will be a record year for the company both in revenue and more importantly in achieving its first profitable year of operations. Based on the company’s preliminary review of our business outlook for 2008 management sees revenue for China America Holdings, Inc. exceeding $50 million and anticipates net income will exceed $1.2 million.
Mr. Dore Perler, Chairman and CEO of China America Holdings, stated: “We enter 2008 in the best position in our company’s history. Our current China based subsidiaries are poised to grow their operations substantially as we expand our existing product lines through the introduction of innovative new products and business solutions for our current customers, as well as continue to add new customers to our growing sales base.

Purple Beverage Company, Inc. (OTCBB: PPBV) announced that it has been chosen by Morgan & Sampson as a new entry in its roster of well-known, well-respected household brands. Morgan & Sampson USA is a multi-faceted consumer product broker whose territory encompasses the entire United States.
Backed by an 87-year history of growth and service, Morgan & Sampson USA (M&S USA) represents a wide array of products ranging from pharmaceutical items to consumables. With nine offices nationwide and an additional office in the UK, M&S USA services some of the largest chains in the country, including well-known store giants Kroger, Safeway, Albertson’s, Costco, Longs Drugs and many more national retailers. M&S USA’s selection of products includes such household names as Kleenex®, Sunbeam®, Rival®, Bremner-Ralston®, RyKrisp Crackers® and Remington®, and for these and other quality goods, M&S USA develops and implements retail placement strategies that maximize sales and economic returns for both the product manufacturer and the retailers.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Morgan & Sampson USA as part of our national rollout strategy. They are undoubtedly one of the best and most respected consumer brand product brokers in the country,” said Ted Farnsworth, Founder and CEO of Purple Beverage Company. “Along with their expertise in representing well-known brands that have been around for years, they have also been instrumental in launching new brands to the marketplace that soon become household names – a fact that excites us greatly. Although Purple has been available in select stores nationwide since the product launched in 2007, our goal has always been to bring this all-natural, healthy and fun beverage to consumers everywhere. Teaming with M&S USA means that Purple will now be as close to many consumers as the shelves of their neighborhood grocery store.”
Chip Carter, Chief Executive Officer for Morgan and Sampson USA, added, “After watching Purple gain exceptional traction in the marketplace in such a short period of time, we are extremely excited to add a beverage of Purple’s quality to our lineup.

Combined, these juices result in an all-natural, no-sugar added beverage that is perfect as a stand-alone drink or as part of a healthy fruit smoothie.
Purple is also quickly becoming one of the most trendy antioxidant cocktail choices in nightclubs and lounges where available, as adding alcohol to antioxidant-rich berries increases the potency of the antioxidants, a fact confirmed by researchers from the United States Department of Agriculture and by a study at Kasetsart University in Thailand.
“Purple has met with rave reviews everywhere it has launched,” stated Farnsworth. “With the strength of Morgan and Sampson USA’s name behind it, our scope of distribution should increase dramatically over the next 60 to 90 days, and countless additional consumers will have access to Purple.”
Since debuting in select cities coast to coast in 2007, Purple has been praised by such high-profile publications as Health Magazine and Family Circle.
Purple can be found in health food stores, restaurants, delis, drug stores, supermarkets and convenience stores in select locations, including New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Hawaii.

February 5 - S3 Investment Company Secures Full Operational Financing for 2008 and Implements Strategy for Re-Listing on the OTCBB
S3 Investment Company, Inc. (OTC: SIVC), a holding company with two subsidiaries doing business in the China market, announced that it has received a financing commitment, which results in the S3 being fully funded for 2008 and is implementing a strategy by which the company will apply for reinstatement to the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) market. The funding covers all corporate expenses for the 2008 calendar year and would eliminate the need for any equity transactions to finance S3 operations for the year.
As part of the financing terms, S3 will complete the audited financial reports required to file for an OTCBB listing. The audited financials to be filed are expected to include annual reports for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 calendar years.
"We are pleased to have received the financing commitment that will cover all corporate expenses for 2008 and eliminate the need to use S3 stock as a funding resource for the year," stated Jim Bickel, chairman and chief executive officer of S3 Investment Company. "The deal flow that has been established by our Redwood Capital subsidiary, which includes the recently closed Dalian Chuming transaction, as well as current clients HaiJai Metallurgical Machinery Manufacturing and Wuhan International Trade College, provides significant anticipated value based on equity participation in each closed transaction. This, and the continued growth of our SINO UJE subsidiary, is expected to make 2008 another strong year for S3."
Redwood Capital participated in a recently closed acquisition transaction involving Dalian Chuming, a pork processing company with USD $70.4 million in sales in 2006, and USD $89.7 million in unaudited sales in the first three quarters of 2007. Energroup Holdings Corporation, a publicly traded Nevada corporation, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Precious Sheen Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“PSI”) and parent company of PRC-based Dalian Chuming. Energroup Holdings Corporation is traded under the symbol “ENHD.”
S3 recently announced that the company's Board of Directors had met and began formulating a plan to dividend shares of the stock of Redwood Capital's reverse merger clients to S3 shareholders of record at a future date. Further details and plans to implement such a strategy are expected to be discussed as they are developed.

February 4 - Ise Blu Equity Corp. Announces a Dividend on the Sale of Its LGN Entertainment, Inc. Subsidiary
Ise Blu Equity Corp. (OTC: ISBL) announced the sale of its LGN Entertainment, Inc. subsidiary to Banx and Green, Inc. (BGGR). The agreement requires BGGR to pay ISBL 1 share of its common stock for every 30 shares of ISBL stock outstanding at the close of business on February 18, 2008, and to issue these shares in total to ISBL shareholders of record on that date as a dividend. No fractional shares will be computed or issued in this transaction. These shares are expected to begin trading upon the effectiveness of a registration statement that BGGR expects to file, as expeditiously as possible, for their resale. Our expected opening trading price on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board Quotation System (OTCBB) is committed to be in the range of $1.80 to $2.00 per share per the agreement. There will be approximately 18,000,000 shares outstanding in BGGR after the issuance of these shares based on the current share structures of each company.
The agreement further gives BGGR the option to purchase all of the remaining assets of ISBL or to merge with it on or before May 31, 2009 with BGGR being the survivor. BGGR also has first right of refusal to match or exceed the economic value on any potential sale of ISBL or its assets during this period. ISBL retains the right to file a registration statement and move to the bulletin board on its own merit with the completion of its own December 31, 2008 audit.
ISBL will nominate three members of a five member board of directors of BGGR to be seated February 19, 2008. Members of Ise Blu management and its consultants will be members of the sub committee overseeing all compliance and regulatory issues for this transaction.
"This agreement is a tremendous benefit to each shareholder of Ise Blu and represents management's desire to bring the maximum benefit to its shareholders while providing flexibility for management to pursue additional acquisitions that will further enhance the value of the company. Management continues to explore all of its options. It is rare, indeed, that such as an amazing benefit can be offered to the shareholders of any company let alone a developing company trading on Pink Sheets," Steve Lane, President of ISBL said.
BGGR is the successor of a fully reporting company that will file all required compliance statements during the first quarter of 2008. It removed itself from trading because of changes in the rules at Pink Sheets on February 6, 2006. It had traded as a "grey sheet" stock prior to that with its last trade at $4.50 per share. It had 1,100,000 free trading shares in the float at the time. The company has been in existence since 1999.
All financial information filed for compliance related to this transaction will be posted on the ISBL web site as it becomes available. All current market makers and others will be contacted to participate in making markets for this stock. The pricing of this stock should allow many additional market makers the opportunity to participate in the market.
