ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seawright
Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SWRI) (BULLETIN BOARD: SWRI) today announced
two new strategies to increase revenues for the Company and its
shareholders, including selling excess water to major bottlers and
becoming involved in the growing biofuels market. First, Seawright
intends to sell excess capacity from the more than 300 million
gallons per year of natural spring water produced at its property
in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley to existing, high volume bottled
spring water manufacturers who would benefit from Seawright's
strategic location in order to produce and distribute their brands
more cost effectively in the Mid-Atlantic market. Seawright expects
to provide spring water to these manufacturers under long term
supply contracts. Seawright completed several construction projects
and equipment upgrades at its 144 acre property in preparation for
business strategy. The volume of water produced by Seawright
Springs would yield approximately 70 million cases of bottled water
per year, translating to 1.6 billion 16.9 ounce bottles. The
bottled water industry is a high growth, $14 billion market, with a
significant portion located on the East Coast of the U.S. in close
proximity to Seawright Springs, Joel Sens, CEO of Seawright
Holdings, said that "environmentally protected sources of high
volume, high quality natural spring water in close proximity to
major markets are extremely rare and valuable." He stressed that
"as fuel prices climb and producers become more environmentally
conscious, the transportation component has a much larger impact on
price sensitive commodities such as bottled spring water. Being in
close proximity to major markets has significantly increased the
value of our natural spring asset." Seawright has recently launched
its own Seawright Springs brand bottled water in a distinctive
package for the retail market. Seawright will continue to produce
the "Seawright Springs Premium Natural Spring Water" brand. "We
anticipate, however, that the bulk of our revenues will come from
partnership arrangements with major bottlers who will buy the
excess water capacity from Seawright Springs," Mr. Sens said.
Seawright's second new strategy partners its existing business
approach of owning and controlling important assets with the
emerging biofuels industry. Seawright is negotiating to acquire
commodity producing assets in the emerging biofuels market.
Technological advances in biofuel production have given renewed
life to historically underutilized commodities such as waste
vegetable oils and animal byproducts for use as renewable
automotive and home heating fuels. "This is an exciting and
potentially high growth market place and consistent with our
strategy to expand our commodity producing asset holdings," Mr.
Sens said. Seawright is also in discussions to acquire an interest
in a bio-diesel manufacturing plant that will be capable of
producing up to 7 million gallons per year of high quality
bio-diesel fuel. About Seawright Holdings, Inc.: Seawright
Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SWRI) (BULLETIN BOARD: SWRI) is a company that

Springs, a natural spring flowing some of America's purest drinking

Seawright Springs brand as well as to sell excess capacity to major
