California Sports & Recreation to Represent BP International Products on the West Coast

DELAND, Fla.--April 6, 2004--BP International, Inc. (OTCBB:BPIL), today announced that California Sports & Recreation, Inc., a CA based playground and athletic equipment distributor, will be representing and distributing BPI's ShadeZone(R) shade structure and athletic equipment product lines in California where they are significantly established.

According to Alex Tsitovich, Joe Seavey and Leo Seavey, principals of the successful CA based company, "we are looking forward to significant revenue growth for both companies as a result of this strategic alliance. After thoroughly researching BPI's product lines, we are confident that they will be well received by our large base of loyal customers."

"I am gratified to welcome such a distinguished well established company to our growing number of reputable client/partners. They could have chosen one of the large regional manufacturers of Shade Structures," said Larry Ball, CEO of BP International. "Their choosing BPI clearly demonstrates we can effectively compete anywhere in the U.S., and abroad. CA Sports and Recreation has been selling shade structures as long as anyone in the business, and longer than most. As a pioneer in the industry, they know what they're doing and they know their market. They recognize the market for shade structures is in its infancy as the concept of using fabric versus hardened materials is now being adopted by a wide range of industries for a variety of reasons."

BP International has positioned itself as a national presence in the shade structure market by recently introducing its line of ShadeZone(R) standard and custom permanent fabric architecture shade structures at a time when there is a new and wide acceptability of a concept that has been around for about twelve years. Advancements in fabric technology and design appeal are driving a domestic and international market that offers tremendous upside for the best-positioned companies.
