Business Wire
Edgetech International, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our")
(OTCBB: EGIL), announced today that it has entered into an
agreement with HollyRod Ventures, Inc. to co-brand a Rodney Peete
PocketSurfer unit. Rodney Peete, a nationally recognized celebrity
and sports star, was formerly the Quarterback of the Carolina
Panthers NFL football team from 2002 through 2004. Peete started
his Quarterbacking career in the NFL in 1989 with the Detroit Lions
where he played through the 1993 season. He also quarterbacked four
other NFL teams prior to joining the Panthers where, in his first
season, he established single season career highs for starts, pass
attempts, completions passing yards and touchdown passes.
Currently, Peete is the host of the Best Damn Sports Show Period,
which airs nationally on Fox Sports Net. Peete and his wife,
television actress Holly Robinson Peete, are the co-founders of the
HollyRod Foundation, a charitable organization, which seeks to
provide financial, physical and emotional support to Parkinson's
disease patients and their families. For Holly and Rodney, forming
the HollyRod Foundation was truly a personal labor of love. Holly's
father, Matthew T. Robinson, Jr. was stricken with Parkinson's
disease in 1982 at the young age of 42 and ultimately succumbed to
complications from the disease in August 2002. Their close to ten
year history has resulted in over $2,000,000 raised for this cause.
Said Peete, "HollyRod Ventures has always tried to be on the cusp
of new branding opportunities so we can raise awareness for the
foundation and Parkinson's Disease. Joining with Edgetech
International affords us the opportunity to support a revolutionary
product as well as allow my friends and fans to purchase a product
that is innovative and necessary for people, like myself, who are
always on the move." "We are thrilled to have Rodney and his
company join our team," said Lev Parnas, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and President. "Rodney is a deservedly well
recognized and respected celebrity and sport star who we believe
will clearly bring real star power to our organization. We look
forward to working with HollyRod Ventures to expeditiously develop
a co-branded unit that Rodney will be proud to be associated with
and his fans will be excited to own. We also look forward to
developing other projects with Rodney, including exploring ways
that we may assist his and his wife's foundation with its wonderful
efforts in support of Parkinson's patients and their families."

matters discussed in this press release are "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of and which are made pursuant to
the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be
materially different from historical results or from any results
expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Any
forward looking statements speak only as of the date on which such
statement is made, are not guarantees of future performance, and
involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may
differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such
forward looking statements, whether as result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Factors that could cause such results
to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward
looking statements include, without limitation: uncertain continued
ability to meet our operational needs in view of ongoing working
capital constraints; need for substantial additional capital to
fully implement our plan of operations; no assurances of and
uncertainty of profitability, no assurances of the Company's
ability to effect sufficient product sales so as to maintain
exclusivity in certain vertical markets, the result of which could
materially adversely effect the Company's results of operations;
need for additional management, sales and marketing personnel,
which is contingent upon our receipt of additional capital;
competition from companies having substantially great financial,
marketing and other resources than the Company, including name and
brand recognition; the impact of competitive services and pricing;
changing consumer tastes and trends; and the legal, auditing and
administrative cost of compliance associated with the Sarbanes
Oxley Act. Many of such risk factors are beyond the Company's
control. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not
possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it
assess the impact of each such factor on the business of the
Company or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward looking statements. In light of these
risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the results
anticipated in these forward looking statements will in fact occur.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward
looking statements.
