DC Brands: Viva Las Vegas!

DENVER, CO, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
A few weeks ago DC Brands International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DCBR) announced
that they had an aggressive trip planned for bringing their new line of
Functional Water Systems to the entertainment capital of the world -- Las Vegas,
Nevada. At that time, the company's VP of Sales, Jim Randall, predicted it
would be a successful trip. Today, the company is proud to announce that
this prediction may in fact prove to be the greatest understatements in the
company's history.

Mr. Randall said, "Although it sounds a bit strange, if it is possible for
meetings to have gone too well, then that is exactly what happened. Aside from
the three retail chains we met with, which all want the products; we had a
total of four meetings with arguably the top 4 distributors in the city.
Each and every one of them really wants the brand. It is a great problem to
have, but the reaction to the uniqueness of our brand and its virtually
unlimited potential was clearly understood and openly expressed at each and
every
meeting. Although perhaps a bit presumptive, the term 'Vitamin Water Killer'
was brought up in three of the meetings and not by me."

Mr. Randall continues, "So we left Vegas with three new retail account
chains
that need us to name our distributor. I just returned today and I am
reviewing the pros and cons of what each one of the distributors would bring to
the table. They are all huge, but two are gigantic and 'could,' I want to
emphasis 'could,' potentially provide us with full national, even worldwide
distribution. Although, thinking down the road, this is a major consideration
in the decision we have to make. I would be the first to admit this is
'putting the cart in front of the horse.' The consideration we have to weigh
into the
equation is the fact that the corporations that can offer that type of massive
distribution are behemoths and can sometimes tend to be difficult to work with.

"We went to Vegas to take care of Vegas and I would tell you that
whicheverpartner we choose in the next 2 weeks will handle the distribution in a
first class fashion. However, the scopes of the meetings were of such a
nature as to have quickly reached well outside of Las Vegas and begin
considering regional and then perhaps national, even eventually worldwide
distribution. Mr. Pearce and I both agree that we have to resist the natural
tendency to get 'wide-eyed and giddy' over the reaction we received and the
potential ramifications for our company in the years ahead. We want to make
sure that the partner we pick fits into our plans and that we would not end
up 'a little fish in their ocean' so to speak. To say the least, we are
elated over the outcome of the meetings and our goals were certainly exceeded.
We now have decisions to make that can and will change the course of the
company. These are not decisions we will make without certain contractual
commitments and assurances of focus towards our brand. However, I assure you
that everyone we met with is a household name and has the potential to take
this company to a leadership position in the exploding 'better for you
beverage' category. When the choice is made and the ink is dry, we will
immediately release the pertinent information."
