Biopack Provides 2009 Year End Shareholder Update

Dear Shareholder,

2009 was a challenging year for Biopack Environmental Solutions. After a tumultuous 2008 during which we settled into our new factory in Jiangmen, China, we found ourselves in the midst of the fallout from the global financial crisis. Although difficult at times, we are pleased to report that we came through the year with a continued sense of optimism as we were able to achieve important goals and objectives that we had set for ourselves.

We made solid headway at our new seven acre factory. In the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2008 we completed the installation of a new seven stage water treatment facility, increasing efficiency and reducing fresh water consumption. This process allowed us to move into the manufacturing of colored product in an environmentally friendly manner as water could then be treated and reused. These and other new product advancements created additional differentiation in the marketplace and helped us win new business. As we broadened our product offering and established real operational efficiency we focused on pursuing a focused market expansion which included opening new distribution channels in the US, Canada and Asia.

Looking forward to 2010, we intend to continue to add exciting new products, most importantly our “coated” or barriered offering, a first to market product that opens up new and lucrative sectors such as frozen food, meat and others. We also look to aggressively expand our marketing presence worldwide. We have had solid success in Europe and we plan to continue to work with our valued partners as we move into our next market expansion phase. We look forward to growth in the North American markets as well as Asia and Africa and, as we reach the second half of 2010, we hope that order volume will drive us towards further expansion of our production capabilities.

Fact or Fiction: “Ain’t No Cure for the Summertime Blues”

According to Alan Jackson’s hit song “Summertime Blues” which can be found on his 1995 Greatest Hits Collection, there “ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.”  We all have fond memories of summer, going to the beach, staying up late, a summer crush, no school, family vacations, and simply just being a little more carefree.  Labor Day marks the end to summer and the start of fall, the weather tends to cool down a bit, kids are back in school, and summer starts to become a memory. 

For some it is a difficult transition.  For us, it was a walk on the beach.  For starters, gold powered through the $1,000 mark and silver was fast approaching $17.  More specific to BabyBulls, our clients have hit the ground running this Tuesday morning after Labor Day.  Achieving returns similar to those posted by our clients companies is one sure way to reduce, if not eliminate entirely, those summertime blues.  We believe there is more good news to come between now and the end of the year.
