BALA CYNWYD, Pa.--(Business Wire)--

agreement with Peace Mountain Natural Beverages Corporation to acquire the

addition, the acquired trademarks go beyond Skinny Water to include Skinny Teas,
Skinny Smoothies, Skinny Shakes, Skinny Java, and others. Further, the ownership
of a family of "Skinny" trademarks will allow the company to pursue an

Mountain`s principal officer in consideration of the foregoing, warrants to
purchase shares of common stock. Closing of the transaction is subject to
customary conditions, including Skinny Nutritional`s receipt of stockholder
approval to increase its authorized capital stock, which will enable the warrant
to be exercisable. The agreement to acquire the trademarks was entered into in

pending arbitration proceeding.
