BURNABY, British Columbia, Aug. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- EYI Industries Inc. ("EYI") (OTCBB:EYII) (http://www.StopDrinkingPoison.com), a marketer of products that promote well-being and a healthy lifestyle, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") for the sale of an undisclosed number of Patented Code Blue(tm) filtration systems over a 2-year period with the Guangzhou CEIEC Enterprise (GROUP) CO. LTD. ("Guangzhou CEIEC"), a subsidiary of The China National Electronics Import & Export Corporation ("CEIEC").
The CEIEC, located in South China, is the largest exporter and importer of electronic products in China and was the first Chinese enterprise to establish sales and cooperative relations with foreign brand name enterprises such as Hitachi, Sharp, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Siemens, Casio, Phillips, Hewlett-Packard, LG and Samsung. Currently, the CEIEC is under the direction of the Chinese government and has extensive business relations with nearly 100 countries and regions and imports/exports over US$1 Billion in products every year.
The Code Blue(tm) portable water filtration system removes Arsenic and other contaminates to a negligible level from drinking water. China's large rural population and poor infrastructure in those outlying regions have created a huge demand for the Code Blue(tm) system which will facilitate the removal of harmful toxins from water, making it safe for human consumption.
Under the terms of the agreement, Guangzhou CEIEC will acquire agency rights from EYI Industries to distribute the Code Blue(tm) filtration system throughout China, and will commit to the purchase of US$210 Million worth of product as per the following schedule:
Fiscal 2006 (US$42,000,000) Q1 = $700,000 Q2 = $2,800,000 Q3 = $14,000,000 Q4 = $24,500,000 Fiscal 2007 (US$168,000,000) Q1 = $31,500,000 Q2 = $38,500,000 Q3 = $45,500,000 Q4 = $52,500,000
EYI Industries Chief Operating Officer, Dori O'Neill stated, "Gaining access to China, the fastest growing global economy and largest consumer market through a reputable partner such as Guangzhou CEIEC Enterprise Group, is a huge milestone for EYI Industries." Mr. O'Neill went on to say, "An order of this magnitude will certainly generate a great deal of shareholder value and may be just the first in a number of orders from China as the Code Blue(tm) filtration system is a cost effective solution to a very serious issue affecting millions in the Chinese population."
