Baron International Announced Today That It Will Start Field Testing of a New State-of-the-Art Beverage Control System

Baron International, being acquired by Prime Restaurants, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PRSU), today announced that it will start field testing of a new state-of-the-art beverage control system.

Baron International has been given the opportunity to be the United States distributor of the new beverage control system manufactured by Takk Systems Inc. http://www.takksystems.com/english/home.aspx. Field testing of the system will be done by installing several systems in Baron's Refrigeration Division's restaurant and hotel clients' establishments such as Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and similar operations.

Should the field tests respond successfully as expected, Baron anticipates substantial revenue flow from the sales and leasing of the systems, as well as recurring revenues from service contracts and monitoring fees.

The new systems reduce spillage, over pouring and theft in draft beer and liquor dispensing systems. Statistics from the National Restaurant Association indicate that loses due to slippage and theft range from 10% to 30%.

The systems feature flow meters that interface with beer lines and liquor "guns." The system measures every pour and reports all information to a central monitoring office. It then matches every pour with every beverage sale to see if there is any over pouring, spillage or theft. Customers can view their accounts "real time" by simply logging on to the company website, or in cases of irregularities can be alerted by e-mail or fax.

This seems to be the only system of its type on the market and the potential clients for such a system are limitless, as waste and theft are two of if not the biggest problems facing the beverage part of any establishment that serves alcohol.

"We are always looking for additional quality products to introduce to our clients while increasing revenue for the company. If this system tests the way we anticipate it will, Baron will realize millions of dollars in new revenue as we will become the distributor for the entire United States," said Mr. Robert Ingala, President, Baron International.
