Bella Petrella's Holdings, Inc., Year End Update; Note from the Chairman

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bella Petrella's Holdings, Inc., (OTC:QB--BTHR) announced today its appreciation for all the employees, vendors and shareholders who have supported the Company's efforts during the past year. Bella's board of directors and the entire team of professionals working on behalf of the Company have devoted a large part of their time this year to help insure the Company's ultimate success. Bella's directors, management and employees wish everyone a wonderful holiday season.

Since becoming public on April 4, 2011, the Company has been introducing its pasta sauces, salsas and pizza sauces to dozens of large institutional customers. We have received "buy" letters of recommendation from virtually every tasting we have conducted. Large institutional accounts take considerable time from the initial contact until a purchase order is received. We believe many of the large accounts we have introduced our products to will be ready in the first quarter of 2012 to begin purchasing our products, subject to our ability to fund production.

To date the Company has been selling to only one small institutional user. It is our expectation revenue growth over the next 12-months from sales of our "reduced acid" line of sauces and salsas will be in the several thousand percent range over the previous 12-months.

The Company's acquisitions of Philly Westshore Franchising Enterprises, Inc., and Bobby V's Original Westshore Pizza, LLC. accounted for second quarter revenue growth of 1,876%. With our sponsorship of Monster Jam and Ringling Brothers events in early 2012, our monthly franchise fees are expected to increase measurably in our third quarter ending February 29, 2012. New store openings are expected to account for revenue growth both from Company owned stores and franchise stores in Florida, Ohio and Georgia in 2012.

The Company is exploring several opportunities for equity to implement its business plan. We expect to wrap up equity financing by the middle of January 2012.  Management has been working very hard to insure the equity capital deal we choose will be as non-dilutive as possible to our shareholders. In addition, any equity capital deal we do will have lock up agreements to some extent. Our goal is to get the equity capital we need while maintaining as low a share count as possible.

"The Company has enjoyed many successes in 2011, including clearing to become public, revenue growth of over 1,800%, completing two acquisitions and securing several choices for the equity capital it will need to implement its business plan. The Company's stock has begun to actively trade and interest in our securities has improved. The coming calendar year even looks better than 2011 for Bella Petrella's Holdings, Inc. We appreciate all of the support we have. We extend to all a joyful and happy holiday season and hope many more will follow the Company's progress in the months to come,' said John V. Whitman, Jr. Chairman.
