EON Beverage Group, Choice Marketing enter into marketing agreement

07/09/05 Pacific Peak Investments has announced that one of its portfolio companies, EON Beverage Group, Inc., has entered into an agreement with Choice Marketing, a specialty natural organic food brokerage company. They sell directly to supermarkets, as well as coordinate with suppliers and distributors in the process of delivering the products to supermarkets.

A partial list of Choice Marketing clients are: Lundberg Family Farms, who raise organic and eco-natural rice; Seventh Generation, a producer of environmentally friendly household products; Lakewood Fresh Pressed Juices; The Switch Purity Foods; Spring Tree Maple Syrup; and Ito En Teas.

EON Beverage Group, Inc. was founded by Jim Harford, formerly the President of the Seven Up Company. The Bedford, Texas-based company markets bottled water under the brand name "EON." The uniqueness of this product is a new concept called "structured water" whereby the water molecules organize themselves through hydrogen bonding into distinct molecular structures. EON structured water is formed through a proprietary process (patent pending) which alters the molecular structure of purified water. It is a manufactured replication of the natural structures found in all fruits and vegetables as well as new-born infants. This allows the users of EON water to achieve enhanced intra-cellular hydration through significant absorption capability that is crucial for maximum biological activity and improved athletic performance.

In addition, EON Beverage Group, Inc. signed an agreement in July 2005 with Rudy Marketing International to work with Rudy Ruettiger to create a unique line of beverages that take advantage of the desire by consumers of all ages for healthier beverages including lower sugar content. Rudy Ruettiger is best known as the inspiration behind the successful TriStar Pictures movie "Rudy" that detailed his quest to become a student, a football player and a graduate at the University of Notre Dame.

As an investment company that has elected to be treated as a "business development company" (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Pacific Peak Investments is looking to invest in companies that are cash flow positive or are likely to become cash flow positive in the foreseeable future based on sound economic fundamentals. These entities will have the prospect for expansion as a result of access to capital and/or additional management acumen. As part of this strategic process, the Company is looking for investment opportunities in all consumer product categories and/or services that have the potential for a positive return on investment, both in terms of current income and capital appreciation. The Company presently holds equity positions in EON Beverage Group, Inc., Titanium Design Studio, Inc. and Island Tribe, Inc.
