PRINGY, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2002

Blue Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:BLII) announced today that it has completed a 1 share for 20 reverse split of its outstanding common stock.

In connection with the reverse split, the Company's trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board has been changed from BLUI to BLII.

In connection with the reverse split, the 33,120,920 shares of common stock previously outstanding have been consolidated into approximately 1,656,050 shares of New Common. No fractional shares of New Common will be issued in connection with the reverse split and all reverse split calculations will be rounded to the next whole share.

The Company has also amended its Articles of Incorporation to prohibit the registration of shares of New Common in the name of DTC or any other securities clearinghouse. The Company believes these registration restrictions may force speculators who have previously sold stock in naked short transactions to cover their prior short sales by purchasing stock in the open market.

As a result of the registration restrictions, all shares that are presently held in the name of DTC must be distributed to the brokerage firms that hold the shares in client accounts. When brokerage firms receive physical certificates for the shares that are currently held by DTC and discover that the number of shares in certificate form is less than the number of shares they are supposed to be holding on behalf of customers, those firms are likely to require immediate delivery of physical certificates. If a speculator fails to make a timely delivery, the brokerage firm may elect to cover the shortfall by purchasing shares in the open market and charging the transaction to the account of the speculator.
