Blue Industries Responds to Cartis Press Releases.

Business Editors

GENEVA, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2003

In response to a series of inflammatory, inaccurate and misleading press releases issued by Cartis, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CARI) during the last three months 2003, Blue Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:BLIIE) today confirmed that:

-- Cartis has not instituted any legal action against Blue

Industries known by us as today.

-- The French authorities are treating the removal by Cartis of

certain inventory and equipment from Blue Industries' Pringy

facility as a felony theft.

-- Product shipments that Blue Industries received from Cartis

Inc contained less than the invoiced quantities and

consistently failed to meet the quality control specifications

established by Cartis Inc ;

-- Repeated laboratory testing has established that the carbon

and silver filtration powder produced by Cartis Inc does not

provide the water treatment and storage benefits claimed by

Cartis Inc in its promotional materials and patents;

-- Based on extensive research and testing over the last year,

Blue Industries has come to believe the Cartis Inc patents

protect a technology of dubious value that is based primarily

on hype, rather than a credible scientific foundation;

-- Blue Industries has developed a proprietary filtration powder

that provides the water treatment and storage benefits desired

by its customers and is continuing to improve the performance

of its proprietary products;

-- The Blue Industries filtration powders are not based on the

techniques and compounds protected by the Cartis patents;

-- The Blue Industries products are not being mislabelled as

Cartis products, nor are they being sold as copies of Cartis

products;

-- Blue Industries is not involved in any other activity that can

be reasonably construed as the production and sale of

counterfeit goods;

-- Blue Industries has not attempted to hire any consultants or

employees of Cartis;

Commenting on the recent spate of inaccurate and misleading Cartis press releases, Patrick Gouverneur said, "Unlike Cartis, we are a fully reporting company that is required to comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in its public communications. Unlike Cartis, we take these obligations seriously. If Cartis believes it has a valid claim against us, it should commence an action in a competent court of law where all issues can be resolved. But we will not be dragged into a battle of duelling press releases with a convicted felon who is trying to sabotage our business and damage our stockholder relations."
