SSWM Issues LOI to Acquire BUGS Technology
Company Vertically Integrating Engineering Services, Biotechnology and Manufacturing
CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 14, 2007----Robert Brehm, CEO of Sub Surface Waste Management of Delaware, Inc. (OTCBB: SSWM - News), , announced today that the company has issued a Letter of Intent and term sheet for the acquisition of the XyclonyX, the biotechnology subsidiary of U.S. Microbics, Inc., (OTCBB:BUGS - News), and the assets of West Coast Fermentation Center, an affiliated manufacturing subsidiary. The acquisition includes the patent licenses, proprietary culture collection, field application knowledge base, and the manufacturing know-how and assets. The acquisition vertical integrates the field engineering services of SSWM with the patents, application and manufacturing technology.
Under the terms of the LOI, SSWM would acquire 100% of the stock of XyclonyX and it would become a wholly owned subsidiary of SSWM. The purchase price is subject to final due diligence and Board approval, but both parties have agreed to go forward with the transaction under a reorganization plan for U.S. Microbics and SSWM. The technology in XyclonyX includes the remediation technology used by SSWM and other applications including wastewater treatment, activated carbon filtration technology patents and agricultural growth enhancement technology using the Bi-Agra™ product line. Also included in the sale are the fermentation assets for growth of the microbes used in the various application formulations.
Brehm stated, "We are consolidating the remediation service expertise of SSWM and the proprietary remediation technology, associated patents and manufacturing capability under a single operational entity. As U.S. Microbics transforms itself into an environmental capital company, SSWM will become a vertically integrated environmental technology company that can create the products used to deliver the better-faster-cheaper services for our clients. The combination of technology with services should reduce expenses and streamline operations in 2008 and beyond."
