visa vie "pending legal matters," The company assured its shareholders earlier both verbally and in writing (as outlined in the previous filings of May 11 2008) that the courts hearing the Petition would rule in HKBV favor. Mr.Larry Twombly, Director of HKBV cold drink division, and Hat Tricks X CEO, said "It has always been our position that this was a meritless and a malicious petition."

Mr. Sender Vaiser HKBV current CEO said "We are busy with the preparation of the upcoming Chicago show, and the launch of a brand new product with a well known International brand. This new product is in addition to the previously announced "Bev Ball" and our "AND" product.

I would also like to use this opportunity to advise our shareholders that HKBV is currently in the process of negotiating with another possible merger candidate, completely opposite of Tango Cafe, yet in the beverage industry as well. We have recapitalized the company in the event we are successful of reaching a satisfactory Win - WIN merger deal and not to "dilute the company," as our critic has been posting on Investor chat lines to drum up support for his own agenda.

Hat Trick management is desirous in growing the company and entering International markets and to create a merger environment that will benefit both Hat Trick as a growth company, HKBV shareholders, the target merger company, and its shareholders as well. Our management and IR group has been intensely working on this possible merger overtime. We will provide timely updates on this and other matters as soon as possible."
