By Kenneth Chan, Tuesday, December 28, 2004

An emerging leader in the sportswear and promotional products industry announced today an exclusive licensing agreement with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). The license will allow Next Inc. to develop, sell and ship licensed FCA brand products directly to its customer base.

"Solidifying the Fellowship of Christian Athletes license is another positive step made by the company to continue to grow its license portfolio," stated Bill Hensley, Next's CEO. "FCA just celebrated its 50th year in existence and their supporters are extremely loyal and growing dramatically in number. We're extremely pleased to be involved with an organization like FCA that has such a positive impact on so many lives."

Hensley further commented, "FCA's corporate sponsors include some of the most recognized companies in America such as Chick-fil-A, Schutt Sports and Krystal's. For Next Inc. to have been chosen to help promote FCA's brand image is an opportunity we're very proud of."

Established in 1954, FCA is now the largest interdenominational, school-based, Christian sports organization in America. For fifty years, the FCA has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
