Peter Russo, President and CEO, commented, "We have made substantial progress since the beginning of the second quarter as noted in earlier progress reports. To summarize some of the more significant events:
-- An agreement with the Saudi Gulf Environmental Protection Company (SEPCO) to jointly handle all types of hazardous wastes including biological, chemical and industrial was signed in April 2005. SEPCO currently handles all medical waste produced in Saudi Arabia. Our alliance is to expand their technologies and to jointly handle all types of hazardous wastes. The Company has made significant progress on this relationship and expects to update shareholders in the next several weeks on progress made to date. -- The Company retained T&T Asset Management (T&T) to provide investment banking services including capital raising and project financing. T&T has recently raised $635,000 over the past two months and continues to move toward the initial commitment of $1 million. -- The Company recently announced an agreement to provide its first turn-key factory to manufacture insulated concrete form (ICF) products. The agreement is with SaFarCu, a private Saudi Arabian company, formed to construct government housing. A typical plant requires an investment of several million dollars depending on the size and variety of ICF products to be produced.
