SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2002

Baywood International, Inc. (OTC:BB: BYWD), an emerging innovator in the formulation, marketing and distribution of proprietary nutraceuticals, today announced the retaining of a new investor relations firm, MRB Investor Relations, LLC (MRB), as part of the company's revitalized strategy to increase awareness among both retail and institutional investors.

Effective immediately, MRB will assume all investor relations duties for the company, including but not limited to the composition, editing and distribution of all company press releases. Baywood expects the campaign initiated by MRB to increase the salience of the company's products for a multitude of potential consumers, a prospect that should help strengthen sales growth and eventually lead to increased margins and higher profitability.

Neil Reithinger, President and C.E.O. of Baywood, commented, "I am excited to have our company enter into a strategic relationship with an established and successful public and investor relations firm such as MRB. We are impressed with MRB's record of performing value-added services for its clients, increasing investor awareness as well as confidence of those currently involved in the company, its stock and its products. I am confident that the new outlets provided by MRB with which to disseminate information will help us achieve our growth prospects and help our organization continue to fulfill its market potential."

Robert Giordano, President of MRB Investor Relations, LLC, said, "It is an honor to work for an up-and-coming company like Baywood. As a firm, we pride ourselves on being highly selective of the clients whom we choose to work with. We believe Baywood has a very impressive, marketable and technologically advanced line of nutraceutical products, backed by a solid financial structure and a potent, sales-driven, synergistic management team. The only thing needed to complete the Baywood picture, in our minds, is the skill set of a firm such as ours. We believe our campaign will cause the increase in consumer and investor awareness necessary to act as a catalyst, that, when combined with the explosive potential of Baywood's products, will likely raise the company's stock price to what we consider to be a more fair valuation."
