SPRINGFIELD, OH--(Marketwire - 08/06/10) - Talisman Holdings, Inc. (Pinksheets:TMHO - News) announces the issuance of a letter to shareholders from President David Long. The text of the letter appears below.

Dear Shareholders:

The purpose of this correspondence is to update you with respect to Company activities, and, more specifically, to relate why we believe we're on track to a bright future. It's necessary to give you some background, but as you read further, I believe you'll become truly excited about where the Company is headed.

It goes without saying that these past several years have been extremely difficult from an economic standpoint. From a business standpoint, it has been a trying business period.

Early this year new Officers and Directors were appointed and charged with creating a new direction for the Company. We have assembled an outstanding, talented management group which has experience in acquiring, reorganizing and integrating acquired companies and guiding them in operations.

This leadership group has developed, and is implementing, a plan which bodes well for the future.

The growth strategy which has been effected is focused on creating operating subsidiaries: a network of companies owned in whole or part by us -- businesses which have exciting growth potential in their own right.

Such an interrelated group of companies under the Talisman umbrella establishes a strong working foundation of companies supporting and nourishing each other. This philosophy represents a prudent business approach in that it provides diversification of risks and maximizes strengths and potential profits. In short, we won't have all our eggs in one basket.

Within that framework it is important that we emphasize and define our corporate mission. Our mission statement dictates the activities we will engage in. In general terms we want to be governed by a return to traditional values, as opposed to the impersonal attitude which seems to have been adopted by many companies. We will be involved in projects which are timely, significant and have a positive impact on global well-being, be that ecological, financial or physical. In simplest terms, we will strive to be a good corporate citizen that makes a positive difference.

Given that, and as you can imagine, these past months have been full of intense activity as we acted on our corporate charge.

In furtherance of our business plan, we presently have two wholly owned subsidiaries:

Advanced Organic Products Worldwide, Inc. is our flagship corporation and was organized via an agreement with a technology partner that has developed a proprietary process for the conversion of fish offal and fish gurry (residual by-product of commercial fisheries operations) into protein-rich liquid fertilizer, insecticide and herbicide products, through the organic process known as hydrolysis. This proprietary process produces an all-natural (organic) fertilizer which, since its commercial introduction in 2004, has been proven to consistently and considerably increase crop yields, reduce the cost of fertilizer on a per acre basis, decrease the required water usage, and improve soil conditions (micro and macro-nutrients, minerals, peptides and soil amino acid content). This product is further 100% water soluble; can be applied via overhead, drip or flood irrigation systems; results in no soil leaching; contains no heavy metals; will not damage (or burn) crops if over-applied, and is environmentally friendly (organic) and designated as such by the U.S. EPA and OMRI. Using naturally occurring bacillus and other enzymes, the protein from the fish offal and gurry is hydrolyzed, producing nutrient and vitamin rich amino acids peptides and growth hormones. The enzymes are then put into suspended animation, at which time small amounts of phosphoric acid is added to stabilize further enzyme breakdown. The product is then run through a centrifuge to separate the remaining oil from the solids and run through a 200 mesh screen to insure that our fertilizer can be delivered through all forms of irrigation systems. One hundred percent (100%) of the phosphorus and naturally occurring nitrogen (fish naturally contain approx. 2.3% nitrogen) are used by the plants and crop, thereby improving soil conditions with absolutely no leaching or other adverse environmental effects. To keep up with the demand for food, we need record crop production each year. To accomplish that we need fertilizer, and there is already a shortage in the enormous world fertilizer market ($150,000,000,000), and production which is further impeded by the emphasis on environmentally safe products. Consequently, the Company believes it is positioned and posed for enormous growth with its superior product.

We are a marketing arm for this revolutionary product, which far exceeds existing competition and provides the following benefits:

Plant Health

Gives long lasting results with improvements in plant color, root development and overall tissue health.

Soil Health

Soil qualities are improved for deeper rooting and better penetration of water and nutrients. Unproductive soil is easily rebuilt and replenished.

Microbial Activity

Provides an excellent and fast-update source of food for the growth of beneficial soil microbes and other organisms as well as providing supplementary macro and micro nutrients.

Pest Resistance

Improved plant health leads to improved resistance to pests and fungal diseases.

Easy to Use

Can be soil applied, foliar applied, or applied via drip systems. Can be applied universally, depending on your needs. Applications will not harm roots or leaves because of the slow release of nutrients.

Will not clog -- because of our strict double filtering process through 200-mesh screens, there is never a problem with drip line clogging or mixing with other material.

Costs less than other brands

Our manufacturing process takes significantly less time than our competitors, resulting in lower processing costs, which we pass on to you, the customer.

We anticipate immediate and substantial cash flow from this product (visit this Company at www.aopww.com ).

Chef Selections, Inc. is our wholly owned subsidiary which engaged in sales of gourmet and specialty foods, the fastest growing segment of the enormous food marketplace. Some things never go out of demand. Food is one of those things. We have been experimenting and working with food since the beginning of time, yet food is now more explosive and diverse than ever. The overwhelming success of the Food Channel and the Food Network are examples of this amazing growth. We own several unique, proprietary food items (including several blue ribbon winners) under our own labels, and we literally search the back roads for others. Some of America's most delicious food products are virtually unknown outside their immediate city or state. So, we seek out small producers who are passionate about their products and include those items in our food line. We are in the final stages of formulating a unique marketing plan for these items, and anticipate a wonderfully positive response.

In addition to these companies, we expect to announce additional acquisitions in the immediate future. We are blessed to have a tremendously strong network of associates who present and provide us access to various enterprises on a regular basis. In the works are projects dealing with enhanced oil recovery, the production of various "green" related products, referral marketing and several others which are in early negotiation stage. We are tremendously excited about the inherent future growth potential of these ventures.

We have a vision for Talisman and the enthusiasm to make it happen. And, we dream big! As shareholders, you may expect our unyielding effort to reward your commitment to our Company. Be sure to keep abreast of developments at www.talismanholdings.com .

Here's to the future.

David Long, President
