Evans Systems, Inc. Introduces the Child Watch Network in a Joint Venture With Child Watch of North America

 

ASHEVILLE, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 25, 2007 -- Evans Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EVSY) announces that it has signed a joint venture agreement with Child Watch of North America for a new program, the Child Watch Network (CWN). The companies will be working together to assist in the safe return of missing and exploited children through digital signage systems currently used in restaurants and sports venues.

The Child Watch Network (CWN) will be provided through "Point of Sale" systems in various commercial areas nationwide. Businesses interested in carrying the Child Watch Network include gas stations, restaurants, retail locations and more. Child Watch of North America has sponsors that provide funding and support on a national level, such as Shell Oil, Epson and Continental Airlines. Since 1993, Child Watch has worked with national sponsors like Texaco, Pizza Hut, AT&T, KB Toys, and Toys R Us to help in their many different endeavors. Between 2002 and 2003, Child Watch distributed over one million free Home ID Kits through Shell and Toys R Us locations alone.

The CWN will use a collection of advertising spaces to fund the program. For advertisers, CWN provides the ability to target markets that are difficult to reach for on-the-go consumers. CWN offers an interactive and captive experience since the consumers are viewing missing children for longer periods of time while viewing a wide variety of other different advertising. Unlike traditional advertising mediums, which can be costly and may never reach the target audience, CWN provides the opportunity to affordably advertise within the confines of neighborhood establishments where potential customers enjoy their leisure time. CWN enhances a businesses' image and reaches hundreds of people who may help in search and rescue type scenarios. The network is expected to go live next month.

"This is the first step for Evans Systems, and it is an enormous one. This endeavor is something shareholders can not only embrace, but will also be able to witness firsthand in their everyday shopping experiences. We are very satisfied with this plan that will develop a wider scope for the search and rescue efforts of missing and exploited children. Each case, on an individual basis, is always time sensitive. It is the belief within both Evans Systems and Child Watch that providing photographs of the missing children, as well as providing descriptions and contact information to constantly changing customers, can greatly increase the odds for the safe return of a missing child," stated Frank Moody, CEO of Evans Systems, Inc.

The Company recently announced the licensing agreement with Child Watch of North America, in which it will jointly market the Child Watch program nationally with the use of digital signage and other various promotions to help in locating missing and exploited children.
