BlastGard International Reports

2007 Year-End Results



CLEARWATER FL, April 16, 2008 - BlastGard International (OTCBB; BLGA) reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007.

According to BlastGard®Chief Executive Officer Andrew McKinnon, All of 2007 was challenging for BlastGard. We have made significant changes in our business plan to better focus on new products that fully exploit our BlastWrap technology.  This of course required committing both human and financial resources to ensure that these exciting new homegrown products were brought to market in such a way that the company and its shareholders would be positioned to capitalize on the benefits created from these new products. This required formulation of an entirely new sales and marketing plan that put the control of sales and marketing back in the hands of the management team as compared to the previous model that entailed the failed Strategic Partner and/ or Teaming Partnerships . As a result of theses failed marketing and Channel distribution relationships we fell short of our revenue goals due in part to the delay in the capture and implementation of certain projects with our strategic partners. We have made significant corrective steps to ensure greater revenue opportunities and our focus from this point forward is to create revenue and bottom line value for our shareholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, BlastGard International reported revenues of $408,988 compared to $925,880 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenues are primarily attributable to the commercialization and sale of BlastWrap® and BlastWrap®-associated products.
