CALCOL INC. (CLCL-OTC) MALIBU-COLA BEVERAGE CO. LTD. China
subsidiary announced today planned introduction of DRAGON-ADE
ENERGY(China TM pending) for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. DRAGON-ADE
ENERGY ("BA-WANG-LONG") (China TM pending) is a proprietary formula
developed in our laboratories in Beijing. DRAGON-ADE includes
Traditional Chinese Medicine ingredients, Aryuvedic herbal
elements, electrolytes, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
DRAGON-ADE ENERGY, CALCOL (CLCL-OTC) believes, combines the energy
boost of Red Bull and Monster (HANS), the vitamin-enriched
qualities of vitaminwater (KO), and the hydration qualities of
Gatorade (PEP) with pleasant enjoyable flavors. Lightly carbonated
and lightly sweetened either with crystalline fructose or
sucralose+ACE-K(diet version), plans are to make DRAGON-ADE
initially available in three new unique flavor combinations,
pomegranate/blueberry/citrus, cherry-strawberry, and green tea/red
tea with peach, and will compliment Malibu-Cola's line of diet and
water flavors, Malibu Diet Cola, Malibu Diet Kiwi Strawberry, and
Malibu Diet White Grape and Malibu Pure Water (enriched with
vitamins and minerals and in various flavors). "We should be able
to meet the health and dietary needs of China's emerging middle
class consumers numbering more than 300 million who are
increasingly conscious as in the United States of what they eat and
drink," said Mr. Ji Jun, President of Malibu-Cola. "The health
benefits should be complimentary to a healthy lifestyle involving a
healthful diet, and a regular exercise regimen, with a good
tasting, enjoyable, energy enhancing, and thirst quenching beverage
experience." "We are excited by the strong positive response to our
diet products, in addition to our regular products. Sales thus far
have more than doubled from last year, and with intensive
promotional activities planned for this summer, including signing
up more distributors to the street vendors, vending machines, and
Mom and Pop shops, we expect that our sales should at least
quadruple (or even more) for the 2007 year over last year," added
Malibu-Cola VP Mr. Xiao Jian Gong. MALIBU-COLA wholly foreign owned
enterprise subsidiary of CALCOL INC. Delaware (CLCL-OTC) has fully
paid up registered capital of more than US$10 million, with
investment activities last year of approximately US $3.5 million
dollars, owns and operates a 110,000 sq ft bottling and canning
plant with a current capacity of 13 million standard cases per year
and a concentrate plant with a capacity of 800,000 units (enough to
produce 1.7 billion liters of finished carbonated soft drinks)
under the third license for foreign branded soft drinks in China on
10 acres of Beijing. CALCOL INC. (CLCL-OTC) currently manufactures
its own concentrates and finished bottled beverages in 500 ml, 1.25
L, 2.0 L, and 2.5 L PET bottles and 355 ml aluminum cans with

(CLCL-OTC) Chairman Norman C. Kaplan stated "CALCOL INC. (CLCL-OTC)
is exploring all possible strategic alternatives for the growth of
our Malibu-Cola bottling business in China, given the nationwide
sales and distribution agreements we hold with Wal-Mart, Tesco,
Carrefour and the other major chains, including Malibu-Cola's
planned possible expansion to two additional factories, one in
Shanghai area, and one in Shenzhen; possible cooperation with a
strategic investment company, or international bottling company
partner. "Bottling companies are hot these days, given the recent
acquisitions of SoBe and Gatorade by Pepsi (PEP), and Fuze and
vitaminwater by Coke (KO). Many of the breweries in China have been
acquired in whole or in part over the past few years, as have a
number of the soft drink and water bottling companies, by the
multi-national giants at significant multiples. There is a lot of
consolidation going on in our industry, especially in China.
"Location, location, location; in addition to China's booming
economy and astonishing rate of growth, we think we are in the
right place at the right time with the right products for the
Beijing Olympics of 2008, and beyond. We are exploring all possible
alternatives to give the maximum return to our investors," said
CALCOL (CLCL-OTC) and Malibu-Cola Chairman Norman Kaplan. "We will
continue to offer our 1.3 billion Chinese customers new enjoyable
flavors and new nutritional and water choices, including both diet
and vitamin and mineral and herbal enriched nutriceutical waters.
We are pleased to say, it seems that our customers like our flavors
very much, and now they will be able to more fully enjoy the health
benefits of our products." CALCOL INC. (CLCL-OTC) trades OTC in the
