AMSTERDAM, Holland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 1999--Jerry Gruenbaum, President of Beacon Light Holding Corporation (OTC-BB: BLHG) announced today that after lengthy negotiations, VJMA Roosen, a Dutch company, which markets products throughout Europe has been added to the fold. The acquisition was consummated by Wellux BV of Holland, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wellux Industries Ltd., which is BLHG's wholly owned subsidiary. The agreement called for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock of BLHG. VJMA Roosen specializes in product design, development, packaging and marketing of quality cookware and high end cutlery. The management of VJMA reported that VJMA had sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 of approximately $1.5 million USD, with a net profit of approximately $100,000 USD. Net assets being acquired by Wellux BV are valued at approximately $500 thousand USD, including current inventory. VJMA Roosen is a logical addition to Wellux BV because of the synergies in product design, assortment, logistics and distribution network. The addition of VJMA Roosen will enable Wellux to expand its product assortment and increase its ability to become a more powerful dynamic participant in the European direct sales and wholesale distribution markets. BLHG has further announced that it is in the process of working with its auditors, Hoffski & Pisano, CPAs of Newport, California to prepare for the company's audit which will commence at the close of this fiscal year at the end of this month.
