IRVINE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 24, 2007 -- ShotPak, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SHTP) today announces an update following the shareholders’ meeting and the overwhelming approval for the Technology Transfer agreement with Beverage Pouch Group of Sarasota, FL. The following is an update on the Company’s activities for the next three months.

The vote of confidence from the shareholders has allowed us to move very quickly into the Company and tackle key elements allowing us to keep the momentum going.

Looking ahead, the Company anticipates that it will submit the required information to Pink Sheets to remove the Skull & Crossbones categorization in January. The Company also hopes to move to the OTCBB by the third or fourth quarter of '08. Next is to fix the debt and ensure that the distribution goes national. We will have warehouses in California, Michigan and Florida.

The production unit will start a second shift to meet rising demand. A second high speed machine is under construction for the summer market holiday period and this new capacity will also open the doors for further expansion into some of the big national chains.

At the same time the Company is going to continue expanding the export markets to UK, Central America, Australia, India, China and Korea and potentially Italy and Turkey. These markets want US products and the ShotPak StandUp patented pouch allows controlled drinking. In addition, the heat seal feature of the patented pouch design gives added security that the product is not counterfeit.

Mr. Murray continues the Company outlook by saying, “Looking ahead, the Company anticipates that it will submit the required information to Pink Sheets to remove the Skull & Crossbones categorization in January. The Company also hopes to move to the OTCBB by the third or fourth quarter of '08. Next is to fix the debt and ensure that the distribution goes national. We will have warehouses in California, Michigan and Florida.”

To facilitate these changes, the Company has taken a different turn with a new Board of Directors. Joining the Company is Bill Marin as President, Gerry Patterson as secretary, Erik Willens as Corporate Counsel and The Haynie Co. will be providing the CPA and Financial staffing support to the Company. ShotPak will also have a Management Committee consisting of the Board, key distributors and shareholders.

Bill Marin, the new President of ShotPak Inc., commented, "With this technology deal, we should explain that the runaway debt load accumulated during the early years, was a heavy burden and was preventing any growth in the Company. The BPG Technology agreement provides us with 15% of Beverage Pouch Group, an annual dividend as well as a royalty on each case sold. This helps us pay off the existing debt so we can now concentrate on research and development of new products. With the original founder having retired from the business, the new management structure from BPG will allow us to easily meet the demands of the global market place."
