BP International Announces a 373% Increase in 2004 Bookings for the ShadeZone Fabric Architecture Division.

DELAND, Fla. -- BP International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BPIL), a leading manufacturer of fabric architecture shade structures and tennis and athletic field equipment, reported increased bookings for the months January through July for 2004 over the same period in 2003.

Average monthly bookings for the seven-month period in 2003 were $22,750.40. Average monthly bookings for the same months, 2004, were $107,660.65. The annual increase from 2003 to 2004 is 373%.

"When we introduced our fabric architecture division in 2002, one of our most difficult tasks was in making growth projections," said Larry Ball, BP International CEO. "We knew the market potential was huge, we knew growth was going to be pretty tremendous, but the numbers we were using -- 25-35% annual increases -- just seemed too preposterous. And yet, as we examined the product, as we analyzed what we believed were going to become trends that, in turn, would become standards, we couldn't shake the gut feeling that our projections were way too small. The actual numbers are staggering, and from what I now know about this market, they are just a drop in the bucket.

"At that time, I was quoted as saying that within 3-5 years, because of the health concerns about UV exposure, most of the playgrounds in the United States would be covered," continued Ball. "Everyone scoffed. It seemed a ridiculous prediction. And yet, 90% of our growth in the last year has been in playground and bleacher covers. That makes sense, because it was the market we initially targeted with our sales and marketing efforts. We are having the satisfaction of going from a company with a product almost no one understood, to being a company with a product everyone wants. And what's so exciting is that, although the trend is certainly moving into a standard, most of America's playgrounds are still uncovered! There's a heck of a lot of business out there."

But Ball points out that playgrounds and bleachers are only one of many markets for fabric structures, each of which has the same sort of future potential.

"We are already building structures for different purposes: waterproof pavilions, parking lot covers, stage covers, basketball court covers. The pavilion market, the parking structure market, the athletic complex market ... these are right now where the playground market was three years ago. Once we get all our sales and marketing vehicles in place, my biggest task is to ensure BP International is geared up to handle the sort of growth most of us only dream about. It's one of the amazing things about being in the right place at the right time -- at the forefront of a huge new market trend with the product line already in place, and the reputation and the expertise to move into that market as an industry leader."
