Action Products International Board Extends Public Shareholder Warrants

Thursday February 1, 2:09 pm ET

ORLANDO, FL—(MARKET WIRE)—Feb 1, 2007 — Action Products International Inc. (NasdaqCM: APII—News), a consumer product company emphasizing branded, non-violent, consumer products, today announced the extension of stock-purchase warrants issued to shareholders in 2006.

“Our hard working board is confident that the turn-around strategy will improve operating performance,” comments Ronald Kaplan, Chairman, on behalf of the board. “We believe new management coupled with revitalization of M&A activities will keep the stock-purchase warrants issued to our shareholders in 2006 relevant in the foreseeable future. Our objective, as always, is to increase shareholder value, improve liquidity and maintain a healthy balance sheet as the company grows organically and externally.”

The company increased revenues year over year in 2003, 2004, and 2005, but with a shift in strategy, saw a decline in sales in 2006 coupled with increased operating and non-operating expenses. Management changes and cost-cutting measures began in the later half of the year and are expected to have a positive impact in 2007.

The terms of the warrant, as specified in the company’s SEC filings have been extended to be exercisable (for one share of common stock) at $3.25 through January 31, 2008, and then exercisable at $3.75 through January 31, 2010.
