Completion of the RTO and the Offering are subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to Exchange acceptance. There can be no assurance that the RTO or the Offering will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the disclosure document to be prepared in connection with the transaction, any information released or received with respect to the RTO or the Offering may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of Gatorz should be considered highly speculative.

The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the merits of the RTO or the Offering and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release. Neither the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Pursuant to certain provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code, a non-U.S. corporation that acquires substantially all of the stock of a U.S. corporation in exchange for its own stock will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if certain conditions are satisfied. Gatorz believes that these conditions will be met in the transactions under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, Gatorz intends to treat itself as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the consummation of such transactions. Since Gatorz will be considered a U.S. resident corporation for U.S. tax purposes and a Canadian resident corporation for Canadian tax purposes, both U.S. and Canadian tax may be imposed on distributions on and dispositions of Common Shares. The availability of foreign tax credits if both countries impose tax on a Gatorz shareholder is uncertain. Each Holder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of owning and disposing of Common Shares.

This release includes forward-looking statements including with regard to Gatorz, No Fear and their respective business and the completion of the transactions contemplated by the RTO and Offering. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations. The forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this release, including completion of the RTO and Offering between the parties may not occur and actual operating results could differ materially as a result of known and unknown risk factors and uncertainties affecting the companies, including, among others, risks regarding each of Gatorz’s and No Fear’s limited operating histories and histories of operating losses, dependence on key personnel, the competitive retail environment, seasonality and dependence on suppliers. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Except as required by applicable securities laws, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and, except as required by applicable law, Gatorz and Simo Holdings undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

This is not an offer for sale, or solicitation of an offer to buy, in the United States or to any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of any equity shares or any other securities of Gatorz or No Fear.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

1 09 2010

CARLSBAD, CA – September 1, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – No Fear is proud to announce their sponsorship of the 2010 GoPro Crossover Challenge as it returns to the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships, which will be held at southern California’s Pala Raceway on September 10th, 2010.  Given No Fear’s roots in motocross and their participation in the action sports industry for 20 years today, this event sponsorship is a natural fit.

This unique event provides an opportunity for some of the best athletes in action sports such as surf, skate, snow, mountain bike and BMX to compete outside of their element and try their hand at the challenging Pala Raceway, while being supported and entertained by the No Fear crew.  The event will consist of activities including practice, a two moto race format, catered lunch, autograph signings and a dash for cash mini bike race sponsored by Haro Bikes where winner takes all.

“No Fear, since its inception, has been involved and associated with world class athletes so the GoPro Crossover was a great fit,” said Phil Tinstman, No Fear Sports Marketing Director.  “We wish all the participating athletes good luck!”

The sponsors of the Go-Pro Crossover Challenge include No Fear, GoPro, SRH, Haro Bikes, Skullcandy, DC, Dunlop, Vention and Asterisk.  For more event details including tickets, athletes, and more, please visit www.palaraceway.com.
