"These numbers represent some pretty aggressive growth for our last quarter, and that growth is represented by increases in every one of our product divisions," said Larry Ball Larry Lauren Ball (born September 27, 1949 in Iowa City, Iowa) is a retired American football linebacker.

"What's especially exciting to me, but not unexpected based on our projections, is that our profound growth continues into the first quarter of our new year, which we'll be reporting in a separate release."

Comparing 2003 fourth quarter sales with 2004 fourth quarter sales, increases in each division were as follows:
ShadeZone(TM) fabric architecture division: up 163.67%
  Tennis Court Equipment division:            up  59.2 %
  Athletic Field Equipment division:          up  20.45%
  Fence division:                             up  17.09%


"The numbers reflect the primary source of our over all growth," Ball continued. "It's coming from the total offering of our fabric shade products, which we sell first and foremost in our ShadeZone(TM) division, and secondarily in the Tennis division. Three years ago we introduced our fabric architecture product line. As we investigated that market, we realized that we were poised on the brink of an incredibly huge phenomenon: the need for shade in all outdoor facilities, for reasons of health and for comfort. We knew we had a product that could address that need in a way that would be extremely attractive and competitive. At that time, we began a severe reorganization within our company to gear up for and prepare to address that need, with the unequivocal goal of capturing a significant share of the newly emerging market. Reorganization required significant capitol, and some lean months for the company, but our long-term projections were right on target.

"The primary growth factor in tennis is the response of tennis court builders to the various shade products. Until recently, shade was not a consideration at tennis facilities. Now, it's the number one request from players and spectators, and clubs are responding to the pressure.

 Industry, August 2004 issue, "Construction Trends: Made in the Shade", p.20). One of the major advantages we have over any other shade product manufacturer is the vast network of contractors, already our customers, all over the country. Tennis division sales increases come primarily from those few contractors who already see the advantage of representing our ShadeZone(TM) products to their own customers. When, as a group, tennis court builders recognize the incredible additional income opportunity available to them through selling shade products, then we will have, in effect, established distributors in all 50 states. Our distributorship program is already being widely received by playground reps and fence contractors, who are bringing us significant business from their regions.

"What has happened is that BP International has turned the corner -- all our preparation is finally beginning to be reflected in our sales. The shade market is still in its infancy, but it's growing, and we are right in there growing with it. Everyone wants shade. We are building shade, and we are doing it right, and we are doing it in a way that makes it cost effective for almost every market where the demand exists.

"As far as the ShadeZone(TM) division, we are marketing our product to several significant sectors: all playgrounds at schools, day cares, parks; golf courses and driving ranges; parking lots for multi-family dwellings, office and shopping complexes, pay-for-parking; bleacher bleach·er
