KETCHUM, IDAHO--Aqua Vie Beverage Corporation (OTC BB: AVBC) announced today that it has finalized a strategic production expansion agreement with its primary contract manufacturer, that provides for the rapid deployment of Aqua Vie Hydrators(TM) into the California grocery chain market, without any additional capital investment by AVBC. An 8-K pertaining to the agreement is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the next ten (10) days. The strategic production financing agreement provides for the sustained and continuous financing of production and shipment of the company's complete line of products, on an interest- and financing fee-free basis and is expected to provide sufficient production financing for rapid and large-scale product deployment. AVBC recently finalized product placement with two large southern California grocery chains. With initial purchase orders having been received, Aqua Vie Hydrators are expected to become available throughout southern California on the shelves of over 300 Albertson's stores (albertsons.com) within the next three weeks, and in over 300 regional Ralphs (ralphs.com) stores in late April. The initial case volume attributable to the region is expected to exceed $3 million in the first year. Aqua Vie's strategic production expansion agreement will also provide production financing for sales into additional regions in Aqua Vie's ongoing marketing program. AVBC will make additional announcements as arrangements for these markets are concluded. "Following our regional test marketing in 2000, this production financing agreement, together with orders in hand, will enable Aqua Vie to escalate its regional sales and market expansion program aimed at regional saturation, beginning in the key California market," said Thomas Gillespie, president and chief executive officer.
