BlueStar Health's Zeon Fuel Subsidiary Identifies Acquisition Candidates


HOUSTON, Dec. 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- BlueStar Health, Inc. (Pink Sheets:BLSH) announced today that the Company's Zeon Fuel subsidiary has identified more than a dozen prospective retail fuel distribution locations in southeast Texas that meet the volume and location criteria required by Zeon management for acquisition consideration. Five of the identified locations meet the financial criteria necessary for financing under the Walker Commercial Funding (WCF) credit facility announced last week.

Zeon management has also engaged the services of three specialized brokers to assist in locating and qualifying candidate properties in southeast Texas that match the Company's acquisition criteria. Aside from case-by-case "location evaluations," to qualify for consideration under the Company's acquisition program, a prospective location should sell a minimum of 3.6 million gallons of fuel annually and/or generate $10 million in gross annual fuel revenues. Additionally, locations with convenience stores should generate more than $850,000 in annual revenues from convenience store operations.

Zeon Fuel is projecting that the Company will "control" a total of 30 locations, either through ownership, lease or through fuel supply contracts, by the end of 2008.

Chairman Naved Jafry commented, "Having the WCF credit facility in place and experienced brokers in our corner assisting us in locating the right opportunities, we are well positioned to reach our growth projections over the next 12 months. While it is difficult to anticipate negotiation and due diligence timetables as we move forward, we are pleased with the initial level of activity and the opportunities we have been presented with so far."

Biodiesel Fact: The overall ozone (smog) forming potential of biodiesel is less than diesel fuel. The ozone forming potential of hydrocarbon emissions was nearly 50 percent less than that measured for diesel fuel.
