LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2004

American Water Star Inc. (OTCBB: AMWS), a publicly traded company, located in Las Vegas, will start shipping this week to the largest Asian supermarket chain in Hawaii. Daiei Superstores cater to the native Hawaiian's and Japanese's tastes. "It is terrific how fast we are penetrating the islands through our Broker TJD Trading Co. and through our distributor Johnson Brothers Liquor Co.

"Hawaiian Tropic Beverages are selling as quickly as they get delivered," said Jerry Ludeman, executive vice president of AMWS.

Hawaiian Tropic is sugar-free, calorie-free and carb-free and is currently available in four tropical flavors with the addition of two new flavors shortly. Flavors include Pineapple Pink Grapefruit, Passion Orange Guava, Kiwi Strawberry and Kiwi Lemon Lime and new flavors Island Fruit Punch and Cherry Surf which will be available soon. "The addition of two new flavors so quickly was due to the demand of our customers. We have received rave reviews on our Geyser Sport fruit punch and Geyser Sport Cherry flavors so we incorporated the flavor profile to fit the tropical flavor of Hawaiian Tropic," said Roger Mohlman, CEO of American Water Star Inc. "It will also give us a bigger presence on the shelves in stores with two more flavors and allow us to capture those two flavor preferences of customers who are currently buying the sugar-laden alternatives.
