Second alert on SEVT being severely delinquent in filing Financials and is at extreme risk of an SEC Suspension and subsequent stock registration revocation. The last 10K was in 2007.
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=Summit+Environmental&owner=exclude&action=getcompany
SEVT is on the list of delinquent filers:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=123772332
1454 SEC Filers have been Suspended by the SEC for Financials delinquencies. The SEC Administrative Law Judge subsequently revoked the Registrations of each delinquent SEC Filer.

Called company and sounds like stop sign coming off with new direction and outside investors behind them
I noticed all the buying and which in my experience is poised for a huge breakout
$SEVT @ .0094!
$SEVT @ .0064!
heres the latest 8-k but they need to file to get the stop sign off! http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=5916940
I wonder if we will see any news here today
July special here. This could quickly turn into one of the most epic movers of the year. It doesn't take much to send it hundreds of percents.
mystery special here? This one has major legs!
$SEVT @ .005!
SEVT is severely delinquent in filing their Financials and corporate filing obligations to the SEC. On Feb. 20, 2015 the SEC suspended 8 stocks from the Delinquent SEC Filers list, and it is likely that more delinquent Filers will be suspended.
Since Jan 1st, 2010 the SEC has suspended over 1290 stocks for Financials delinquencies. All of those Suspended stocks had their stock registrations revoked.
Shareholders should contact the company and pressure the Mgmt to file their delinquent Financials because ALL shareholders would be wiped out IF the SEC suspends the stock.

OVERVIEW
Last year, we finalized some of the distribution agreements and product certifications, in conjunction with our vision to market our products through strategic alliances. Of special note, agreements were executed for Mexico, China, Scandinavia and Canada.
In Mexico, a joint venture agreement between Summit and Earth Safe Technologies will sell FLAMEOUT(R) and several of our remediation products. The primary customer for the joint venture will be Pemex, the national oil company of Mexico. FLAMEOUT(R) was approved by Pemex as an acceptable replacement for 3M's AFFF. Numerous contaminated sites from oil field production will become projects for water and soil remediations.
In China, the Tianfa Corporation and the Tianyang Group became the master distributor for FLAMEOUT(R). The company agreed to assist and advise in the manufacturing of aerosol cans utilizing FLAMEOUT(R), producing a product similar to FIREPOWER 911(TM). We will receive a royalty from the wholesale sale of each can produced.
In Scandinavia, Tecno Supplies began selling FIREPOWER 911(TM) in February 2001. FLAMEOUT(R) was utilized in initial tests with the Norwegian Air Force and Exxon of Norway for the purpose of replacing 3M's AFFF.
In Canada, Summit and 614575 Alberta Limited executed an agreement allowing the selling of FLAMEOUT(R) for resale in portable and mobile fire extinguishing systems for home and property respectively. We granted to 614575 Alberta Limited the exclusive right to FLAMEOUT(R) for systems as manufactured by 614575 Alberta Limited. For the granting of the exclusivity, we receive a royalty from each unit sold.
Management has held fast to the theme of establishing a sound retail pricing structure for FIREPOWER 911(TM). Very early, we were successful in getting FIREPOWER 911(TM) approved by Wal-Mart on a regional basis, first, and then elevated to full category status. Existing purchase orders were in hand.
However, management was not comfortable on issues such as the terms for continuing fulfillment, insufficient timing for completion of orders based on manufacturing criteria unique to FIREPOWER 911(TM), and the possibility of delayed payments regardless of contractual terms. When the discounting of FIREPOWER 911(TM) was taken into consideration, management was not willing to jeopardize long-term success for short-term gain. Therefore, an agenda was developed to first introduce FIREPOWER 911(TM) through marketing venues where discount pricing was not the primary negotiating factor.
We set out to place FIREPOWER 911(TM) into a retail environment where pricing was not an issue to iTs success. When initial sales were made to grocery supply companies, grocery stores and convenience stores, there was no effective marketing/merchandising follow-up network in place to facilitate the in-store service requirement held by the large store chains across the country. The existing agreement with Convenience Service Group did not meet the criteria and was terminated in order that we could take a new direction with FIREPOWER
911(TM).
Still believing in the uniqueness of an aerosol product providing safety and ease of use for all consumers, we negotiated an agreement with a firm, Triple-S Marketing, to provide the in-store service required by some of the nation's larger retailers. We focused on Triple-S because of its emphasis on home improvement stores. In February 2002 Lowe's Home Improvement Centers scheduled FIREPOWER 911(TM) for an in and out sale scheduled for October 2002.Approximately (150-200) selected Lowe's locations are scheduled to conduct this test market in conjunction with the National Fire Prevention Month.
Last year, the first shipment of FIREPOWER 911(TM) was packaged for international sales with foreign language labels. Initial first market shipments ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 cans went to Chile, Hong Kong and Japan. 5,000 cans were sold to the public by the local fire departments in Chile. Summit and Marketing Perspectives Incorporated ("MPI") satisfied the label requirements and insurance requests for completed product liability coverage. The second order was anticipated as early as August 2001, according to information supplied to us by MPI. The FIREPOWER 911(TM) approval was delayed. However, in December 2001, the anticipated approval was received. MPI provided to us in January 2002 the official Chilean government approval for FIREPOWER 911(TM) for both Class A and B fires. These tests were conducted at the University of Chile. The approval certificates can be seen on our website. The first use of "FIREPOWER LIQUIDO 911(TM)" will be for the federal police (Carabineros) as part of their equipment belt as a tool for riot control due to such occurrences as fire bombs being thrown into crowds at large public events such as soccer matches.
In March 2002, we met with Reliant Interactive Media Group for the purpose of taking three to four of our products on QVC and Home Shopping Network International. Reliant is in the process of merging with Thane Distribution Group. Therefore, our agreements have been executed with Thane. Of special note, Reliant founders Kevin and Tim Harrington are noted developers of infomercials and direct response television. They represent such notables as Bruce Jenner, Kathy Smith and Tony Little. The companies have agreed to place our products in the shopping channel venues of QVC and develop 30 minute infomercials for these products. One such product is FIREPOWER 911(TM).
One week before meeting with Reliant, we met with QVC at its headquarters in Pennsylvania. FIREPOWER 911(TM) was approved for programming. We are in the process of satisfying the Quality Assurance requirements with QVC. The anticipated start date of April 2002 was delayed due to the new FIREPOWER 911(TM) can which will be a second generation product. The new FIREPOWER 911(TM) is due out in July.
In November 2001, we executed a distributorship agreement with a direct sales company, Lighthouse America. Lighthouse, dba Teamfire, previously sold a non-rated fire extinguishing product as a fire extinguisher. This resulted in regulatory enforcement action which halted Lighthouse's activity. When FIREPOWER 911(TM) was discovered by Lighthouse, an agreement was negotiated. FIREPOWER 911(TM) is the only rated and validated fire extinguisher in an aerosol can in the marketplace. Teamfire began introducing FIREPOWER 911(TM) to its base of 7000 dealers. We also receive a royalty on the sale of all FIREPOWER 911(TM) sold by Teamfire. Second and third orders were received by us during the first quarter 2002. Receivable royalties were also paid.
Our strategic alliance partner, International Aero, Inc., is the world's largest reconfiguration company for commercial aircraft. Summit and International Aero have been working on the minimum performance standards requirements established by the Federal Aviation Administration. Previously, the handheld fire extinguishers onboard all commercial aircraft contained Halon 1211. The Geneva Peace Conference banning of Halon 1211 included a catastrophic exposure clause called Mission Critical that allowed the airline industry an extension of time before these extinguishers faced mandated replacement. The testing protocol for selecting the replacement agent has been published by the
FAA. FLAMEOUT(R)
meets all of the technical criteria required by the performance standards. During 2000, the actual Gross Volume Production Tests of FLAMEOUT(R) on jet fuel and heptane were conducted. The initial performance tests were conducted at International Aero's new licensed fire testing facility, during 2001. In December 2001, the FAA and US DOT published the final draft of products approved as replacements for Halon. FLAMEOUT(R) has been placed on the list of approved replacements.
International Aero's distribution rights extend to the aviation industry, the United States Military, and the United States Gulf Coast petroleum industry. In conjunction with the research department at International Aero, we are developing an alternative to another fire-fighting agent, AFFF. AFFF, used primarily for petroleum fires, is a known cancer-causing agent. Summit's intent with International Aero is to develop a non-toxic, non-corrosive, biodegradable alternative for AFFF. FLAMEOUT(TM) was tested at the Ansul fire test facility in Marinette, Wisconsin in April 2000. The foam stability test was very successful. FLAMEOUT(TM) was the only product tested to pass the UL162 encapsulation and emulsification test. FLAMEOUT(R) has been approved as replacements for 3M's AFFF in Poland and by Pemex in Mexico. We began tests in April with the United States Air Force for the purpose of obtaining a military specification number for military approval to replace AFFF. Due to severe environmental problems and large fires, 3M left the AFFF market in December 2001. The void created has opened a whole new field for replacement products for AFFF. Now that the toxic issues surrounding AFFF are out in the open, the non-toxic, biodegradable features of FLAMEOUT(R) are placing the product as a frontrunner for solutions all over the globe.
Summit, BioGenesis, and International Aero have been working together for the completion of its non-toxic, biodegradable turbine cleaner for use on jet engines. In only fifteen minutes, ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) can remove enough residue from jet engine blades that the next flight would experience fuel savings sufficient to pay for the expense of the cleaning. The cleaning of the engines on planes is required as regular periodic maintenance. When fuel savings are considered, this means savings for the airlines. The recent increase in jet fuel costs has heightened the airlines' interest in ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM). Currently used products produce a run-off residue with contamination by metal particles that find their way into the groundwater. ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) has been in an arduous testing procedure and has been approved as non-corrosive regarding eight different metals. With the completion of the corrosive metals tests, actual onboard tests will begin in order for us to obtain a military specification number for ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM). The protocol under which ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) is now being tested is for multiple applications and is expected to culminate in a military specification number. The use of this product will allow commercial airline companies to be in compliance with the newly mandated EPA Water Runoff Quality Standards. The alternatives for the airlines are very costly measures that would affect every department of their operations. Continued use of the corrosive cleaners would require the cleanings to be performed in designated cleaning areas, away from the airlines' operations.
Additionally, the Department of Defense ("DOD") is also involved with this testing and approval. The original direction of ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) was for the commercial airline industry. The DOD's involvement has increased our potential market by another 50 percent from the original projections based on International Aero's customer base.
Also incorporated into the test of our Type III concentrate was the addition of Type II
concentrate and Type II ready-to-use tests for additional approvals. These additional approvals also increase the size of the market for the product and the amounts of product to be used.
All parties concede that this testing process has been very tedious and time-consuming. The reward for us will be a head start in the market. Regardless of the unknowns with which we have dealt, we and our product have not experienced setbacks which prevent the direction of moving closer to an expected final Quality Products Listing. The lab conducting the test protocols for the MIL-PRF-85704C has notified us that ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) has successfully conformed with the requirements for corrosion, crazing, painted surfaces, acrylic surfaces, and water and acid stability. The areas of complication for approval stem from the fact that ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) is an aqueous based product. The test protocol, which is 50 years old, was originally designed for petrochemical products. We are still committed, as is BioGenesis, to the completion of the test protocol. The successful completion means large numbers of sales for us due to our marketing alliance with International Aero, Inc. The test to satisfy final requirements are still in process. Through our South American alliance partner, we submitted material, product, and previous certifications to the authorities in Brazil and Argentina in order to obtain the appropriate approvals and ratings for sale in the Mercosur area of South America. The existing certifications on FLAMEOUT(R) have been accepted. Last year, the actual state fire department tests began taking place.
In Brazil during fourth quarter 2001, FLAMEOUT(R) passed some very critical Class B tests. We introduced FLAMEOUT(R) into Brazil through MPI due to the elimination of the availability and sale of AFFF. This added to the length of time before final product approval but greatly increased the size of the marketplace. This will clear the way for us to begin sales through Marketing Perspectives Incorporated ("MPI"). Their distributor in Brazil has orders to be filled promptly when the certification process is completed. The approval process will also be accepted in the other Mercosur Pact countriesArgentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Summit and MPI have entered into a Joint Venture Agreement to produce FLAMEOUT(R) in South America. In order to fill product orders for government contracts, offices, installations and airports, the product must be produced within the Mercosur. Summit and MPI are in the process of producing the first production run of FLAMEOUT(R). Tests will be conducted on the South American produced FLAMEOUT(R) in order to verify its performance against the standard already established by the completed tests of FLAMEOUT(R) shipped to Brazil in 2001.
During the third quarter of 2000, management gave Paula Parker, Vice-President for Shareholder Relations, a directive to develop a new product line, a color cosmetic line to compliment the already developed skin care cosmetic line, Pannache. This product line is environmentally friendly and made with premium botanical and natural essential oils and vitamins.
The idea for the star product of the color line was to develop a semi-permanent, long-wearing, no smear or stain lip color. Companies like Avon, Beauty Control, Max Factor, Revlon, Cover Girl and Maybelline have developed products they tout as long-wear, no smear; however, we believe they do not perform as advertised. Our product - Luscious Lips - will stay on 8 to 10 hours and will not come off until removed with remover. The development phase began in September 2000 with final formula approvals in June 2001. We received four of the twelve selected colors in August and began the first of two directed test markets. One market was to sell product directly to performing groups such as dance
lines, dance schools, high school drill teams, cheerleaders and twirling groups. Prior to the beginning, we secured the endorsements during July for the Miss Texas and Miss Arkansas Pageants. Both Stacy James (Miss Texas 2001) and Jessie Ward (Miss Arkansas 2001) were using Luscious Lips during their state pageants when they won their respective pageants as well as the Miss America Pageant. Stacy was in the top twenty and Jessie was a top ten finalist in the Miss America Pageant.
Pageants have been or are being held every weekend from October 1, 2001, through July, 2002. There will be over 50,000 contestants introduced to - and many using - Luscious Lips in the Arkansas pageant system. Jessie Ward's photos appear in all official company publications and web sites. The official web address is www.lusciouslips.cc and www.pannachelusciouslips.com.
The initially established dealer network attained a closing ratio of close to 100%. When purchasing the initial inventory for a dealer, a dealer purchases at 50% off of retail and makes 100% profit on resale. Our margin is at 106%. The direct sales test market directed to drill teams and cheerleading groups produced a 100% closing ratio. Pannache became an associate member of the Texas High School Dance and Drill Teams Association, whose state convention was held in Houston, Texas, January 3-5, 2002. Over 100 high schools requested appointments for presentations for product use for the team and our concept of using Luscious Lips as its fund raising product. There are 178,000 drill team participants in high schools in Texas each year. Couple this with the middle and high school cheerleaders, and the market is over 500,000 participants in Texas alone. August of 2002 will see targeted fund raising programs especially designed for these groups. The initial dealer locations are throughout Northeast Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Georgia.
The success of the test markets indicated to us that expanding the marketing toward performing groups and through direct distributors and direct response television would create high-profit-margin venues. The sale of a single tube of Luscious Lips wholesale creates a greater profit margin than the sale of a can of FIREPOWER 911(TM).
We successfully negotiated with Lady Burd Exclusive Private Label Cosmetics for the ownership of the patent and property rights for the product Luscious Lips. Luscious Lips was developed at Lady Burd by Dr. Alex Hammer. Dr. Hammer is noted for co-authoring the Food and Drug Administration Cosmetic Manual. Dr. Hammer spent over 20 years at Estee Lauder before coming to Lady Burd.
The cosmetic industry is a $300 billion industry worldwide with Avon being the largest, controlling only 7% of the market share. Therefore, no one company can control the market. Prices are always stable while sales are always consistent.
Pannache completed an endorsement agreement with Jessie Ward, Miss Arkansas, for the remainder of her reign and afterwards. Pannache/Luscious cosmetics have been named the official "Wardrobe showing sponsor" for the Miss Arkansas Pageant.
As a result of Summit's and Lady Burd's previous successful negotiations for the patent rights to Luscious Lips, Lady Burd appointed Summit as the exclusive distributor for all of Lady Burd's products (over 100) within the area formerly served by the Dallas, Texas Apparel Mart Showroom. The
show room inventory was moved to our headquarters in April 2002. The first official day of business was May 1, 2002. The assignment of the distributorship to Summit by Lady Burd provides 3500 Lady Burd customers. We have moved to a new location where showroom facilities are now provided.
OUTLOOK
The statements made in this Outlook are based on current plans and expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may vary considerably from those that are planned.
We believe that, due to the approval, listing and rating of FIREPOWER 911(TM) as a fire extinguisher, a niche market has been created. This was supported by actions taken by the USEPA, which has been mentioned previously, and actions of the Connecticut State Fire Marshal's Office and the California State Fire Marshal's Office and most recently, the office of the State Fire Marshal of Texas.
The formula for FIREPOWER 911(TM), FLAMEOUT(R), is one of only a few suppressing agents certified by the EPA as a replacement for the globally banned fire agent, Halon 1211. Initially, the Connecticut State Fire Marshal's Office notified the company that its aerosol fire suppressant, FIREPOWER 911(TM), was to be removed from the shelves of Home Depot, because it was not listed and rated as a fire extinguisher. All other aerosol can products representing that they were fire extinguishers were also to receive the same notification. While we were not marketing FIREPOWER 911(TM) as a fire extinguisher at that time, the other aerosol fire suppressors subject to this action were touting their products to be fire extinguishers.
Due to the capabilities of FLAMEOUT(R), we applied for the minimum fire extinguisher rating in order to establish FIREPOWER 911(TM) as a fire extinguisher and satisfy the State Fire Codes. The specific fire code is ANSI/UL8 and ANSI/UL711, set forth in the NFPA Standard 10. NFPA 10 establishes the requirements for listing and rating portable fire extinguishers.
We have completed the listing and rating requirements, placing FIREPOWER 911(TM) in a class of its own, the only listed and rated fire extinguisher in an aerosol can available in the global marketplace. Subsequently, we received a letter from the Connecticut State Fire Marshal's Office certifying that our FIREPOWER 911(TM) had satisfied their fire code requirements.
California has a unique legislative requirement in addition to the NFPA and ANSI/UL standards for portable fire extinguishers. This is a new area, termed Non-Halon Certification, and means that any portable fire extinguisher whose marketing intent is directed to the residential and individual use market must contain a formula that has been certified as Non-Halon. FLAMEOUT(R) is the first of seven permanent listed and certified replacements for Halon 1211. It is the only product that can meet this California requirement due to the type of approval for FLAMEOUT(R). The approval is for residential as well as commercial use. All other products are approved for commercial use only. Applied Research Laboratories has completed the application process on our behalf, meeting the California Non-Halon requirements.
With these requirements, approvals, listings, certifications, and confirmations, we have positioned FIREPOWER 911(TM) to become the only product that can be sold in the retail residential market in California. The completion of this certification will place FIREPOWER 911(TM) as the only product that has survived this process, according to the California State Fire Marshal's Office.
In other states where Non-Halon certification has not become effective to date, there is still the NFPA 10 requirement that all aerosol cans must be tested, listed, and rated as a fire extinguisher. FIREPOWER 911(TM) is the only product that possesses the validated listing and rating for an aerosol fire extinguisher Several issues have slowed down the marketing of FIREPOWER 911(TM). Its formula is FLAMEOUT(R), a technology for fire suppression, not merely soap in an aerosol can. A specific type of aluminum is required for the container to meet the ANSI/UL8 portion of the validation and listing tests. The size and type of can required to hold the FLAMEOUT(R) by the very rigid standard for fire extinguishers is not manufactured in the United States. We must bring the empty shells in from Madrid, Spain.
These production issues, plus the manufacturing efforts to produce a product with a five-year shelf life, and royalties paid to the testing laboratory calculated on each unit are examples of the unique requirements for the pricing of our fire extinguishers.
When attempts to market a product like FIREPOWER 911(TM) are met with "copycats" which have not passed the scrutiny of the validations, listings and ratings, an education issue is created which must be carried out at the buyers' level. For this education effort to have meaningful effect, enforcement action is required by the state fire marshals' offices. These enforcement actions are public record. We now have our marketing and merchandising representatives equipped with information showing the buyers that there are issues other than the cheapest product in an aerosol can. The Texas State Fire Marshal's office has been instrumental in enforcing the regulations with regards to NFPA 10, the required standard for portable fire extinguishers. These regulatory actions on copycat products of FIREPOWER 911(TM) have seen several products removed from the shelves of retailers and from programming on shopping channels. We have been working with several product rep groups making presentations into several of the large mass merchandisers. With the approval of FIREPOWER 911(TM) for an "in and out" test market at Lowe's, for airing on QVC through Thane Distribution Group and an infomercial, Summit feels that it has successfully neared the end of the education curve with regard to aerosols.
Presenting the information in this format last year, we negotiated an agreement with a national marketing and merchandising company, Triple S Marketing, that places the products they represent into two of the largest home building products stores in the country. The senior buyer for one of these chains of stores has approved FIREPOWER 911(TM). A redesign of the home safety products section has been completed at Lowe's Home Improvement Centers and FIREPOWER 911(TM) is scheduled to appear in an estimated 150 to 200 stores during Fire Prevention Month, October 2002.
Over three years ago, we negotiated a contract with Wal-Mart on a regional basis in Florida, Southern Georgia and Southeastern Alabama. When a category buyer from Wal-Mart decided to remove FIREPOWER 911(TM) from the regional purchasing agreement and take it to a full category
purchase, management was forced to "not fill" in-hand purchase orders. Full category meant supplying as many as 4,000 stores in a brief time. However, the major obstacle was the fourteen day fulfillment deadline on new purchase orders. The time required for the manufacturing of the shells for FIREPOWER(TM) is five weeks. Management knew that the initial news of the Wal-Mart contract would be great for the new public company, but failure to meet unrealistic production requirements would be extremely detrimental.
During the last week of April 2001, a Wal-Mart opportunity once again presented itself. Through one of our direct dealers, FIREPOWER 911(TM) has once again been approved for Wal-Mart. However, this time it is on a local store district purchase program. Once the contract starts, it continues without change for six months. The completed applications, initial insurance certification, and bar codes registrations were sent to the district supervision level for a specific region of Wal-Mart on May 1, 2001. Our dealer for that area has submitted his final order through the stores. The same Summit dealer in the midwest is still working on this project.
We have executed an agreement for the sale of FIREPOWER 911(TM) with Lighthouse America and its direct sales company TEAMFIRE. TEAMFIRE previously had 7,000 direct dealers selling a non-rated portable fire product that was classified as a portable fire extinguisher by State Fire Marshals. TEAMFIRE's selling efforts were halted due to Fire Marshal regulatory citations. TEAMFIRE has a great appreciation for FIREPOWER 911(TM) because of its experience with the Fire Marshal's offices. With FIREPOWER 911(TM) which is the only rated and validated portable fire extinguisher in an aerosol can in the world, TEAMFIRE feels that they will quickly begin to move FIREPOWER 911(TM) through their established network of direct dealers. Before regulatory measures halted TEAMFIRE's selling, previous sales were $1.6 million from January through August, 2000. The first shipment of product to Lighthouse occurred in November, 2001. Additional shipments occurred during February, 2002.
We have been in negotiations since October 2000 with QVC for the sale of FIREPOWER 911(TM). FIREPOWER 911(TM)'s front runner, Chief's Choice (private label FIREPOWER 911(TM)), was the initial aerosol fire suppressant sold on QVC. Chief's Choice received the QVC award for Best of the Quest. While FIREPOWER 911(TM) was going through the validation and listing process at Applied Research Laboratories, "ARL," QVC was notified of the NFPA standards requirement held by State Fire Marshals' offices by our management. Another "copycat" product was substituted for Chief's Choice, which also violated the requirements for which we had chosen to qualify in order to be in compliance in all 50 states. Last year, this "copycat" product was removed from programming at QVC, due to action taken by the Texas State Fire Marshal's office and we were notified that the category buyers at QVC had approved FIREPOWER 911(TM) one-liter rated fire extinguisher for purchase. We were told that once the legal department had been cleared, scheduling of programming and initial purchases would begin. During April 2001, we were notified that the QVC legal department would be requesting a letter of verification that FIREPOWER 911(TM) is legal in all 50 states. This letter is available under the "Standards and Certifications" directory item on our website. In March 2002, management met with the buyers at QVC and received initial programming approval. The next week, management met with marketing representatives from Reliant International Media and Thane Distribution Group. We entered into an agreement with Thane for the purpose of placing FIREPOWER 911(TM) on International Home Shopping network, producing a 30 minute infomercial for FIREPOWER 911(TM) and the approval of three of the
cosmetic products from the our Pannache/Luscious Cosmetics division which will be discussed later. Currently, we are going through the quality assurance process of product preparation for marketing at QVC. Initial product airings are expected as early as July 2002.
FLAMEOUT(R) was submitted to the United States Forestry Service through its technology development program in order to satisfy the requirements for qualification testing as a Wildland Fire Chemical. This test protocol will be ongoing for eighteen months. The Forestry Service requested and we supplied the actual test product in order to complete the protocol in June 2001. Through our Canadian Strategic Alliance Partner, Mark Hayes dba 614575 Alberta Limited, the aerial fire fighting company Pro Air, and the Canadian Forestry Service are following the U.S. Forestry Service's test. Feedback is that FLAMEOUT(R) is performing very favorably. The reports received by us are that the Canadian Forestry will accept the U.S. Forestry approval for immediate sales in Canada. We have been notified of pending orders at Pro Air.
FLAMEOUT(R) will be tested as a wetting agent and fire suppression foam. When approved, FLAMEOUT(R) can be used in catastrophic wildfires that occur every year. Our product, in unofficial tests, has outperformed every product with which it has been compared. Management knows this first-hand from being on the actual fire lines in Florida. The twelve-month product stability test concludes in June 2002. Once concluded, the remaining testing revolves around (1) combustion retarding effectiveness, (2) optimum mixing, (3) pumpability, (4) abrasion, (5) field visibility, and (6) operational field evaluation. We believe that approval will occur during August 2002 based on information received.
International marketing agreements were negotiated and executed last year. A key element of these agreements is the revenue sharing clause that provides us profit sharing from the tools, devices or mechanisms into which FLAMEOUT(R) is introduced for resale. Summit assisted its distributor partners with necessary testing, listing, ratings and certifications in order to complete the registration process in each of these countries.
FLAMEOUT(R) was submitted for official testing in Warsaw, Poland as an alternative for 3M's AFFF. 3M announced mid-year 2001 that it was withdrawing from the AFFF market. AFFF is a very toxic product and exposure can cause cancer. Summit's product was officially approved in February 2002 by the Polish National Institute of Hygiene as an alternative replacement for 3M's AFFF.
During December 2001, FLAMEOUT(R) was submitted to laboratory officials at Pemex, the national oil company of Mexico. In January 2002, we received copies of the official approvals for FLAMEOUT(R) for the purpose of replacing AFFF at Pemex.
In 2001, we began discussions with a Canadian company for the purpose of using FLAMEOUT(R) exclusively in their gasoline and battery generated home fire extinguishing systems, The Fire Caddy, which can be seen on our website under the photo album. The agreement with 614575 Alberta Limited allows for the placement of 5 gallons of FLAMEOUT(R) within each unit sold and an additional 5 gallons of FLAMEOUT(R) as back-up to be sold with each Fire Caddy. The agreement between Summit and Alberta Limited allows Alberta Limited to purchase, at wholesale, FlameOut(R) for the Fire Caddy System. By
virtue of the exclusive arrangement between us and Alberta Limited, we receive royalties on the sale of each of the Fire Caddy units.
In China, Summit and The Tianfa Corporation and The Tianyang Group executed an agreement for the sale of FLAMEOUT(R) and technical assistance for canning aerosol can fire extinguishers. Tianfa Corporation is China's leading energy company and is listed as a Class A Stock on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The agreement allows Tianfa/Tianyang to purchase FLAMEOUT(R) at wholesale and then repackage FLAMEOUT(R) in aerosol cans in China, manufacturing a product similar to FIREPOWER 911(TM). We will in turn receive a royalty on all wholesale sales of aerosol cans.
During February 2001, we sold our first order of FIREPOWER 911(TM) to our distributor, Tecno-Supplies, in Norway. In April 2001, Tecno-Supplies ordered its first shipment of FLAMEOUT(R). A portion of this initial order has been sold to Exxon of Norway. Tests results have been favorable and are concluding. Currently, we are preparing to supply documentation and product for FLAMEOUT(R) approval in the North Sea.
Summit's test for securing the military specification number MIL-PRF-85704C, which will enable our ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM) jet engine cleaner to be listed with the Department of Defense, Quality Products Listing, has proceeded into classification tests for Type II and III concentrates and Type II ready-to-use. The testing for this non-corrosive approval has resulted in some adjustments to the formula for the test on ceramic and acrylic finishes. This test is also being done in the "water soluble" category. To our knowledge, there are no other products that are aqueous-based which can accomplish the cleaning requirements of the test protocol or the actual engine cleanings. The expansion from the initial Type III approvals to include the two categories of Type II greatly increased the market potential for ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM). Technical testing confirmation for protocols was received in May 2001. While awaiting a slotting appointment for the completion of the physical application test in cleaning test engines, we are finalizing the stability and blending requirements. Through our strategic alliance partner, International Aero, we have initial sales to be made to major airlines such as United, Continental, Delta, Northwest and Eastern airlines. The recent increase in jet fuel costs has heightened the airlines' interest in ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM). During September, 2001, formal application for the physical test was submitted to and accepted by the United States Navy.
Our development of ULTIMATE ABSORB 1103(TM) has led to our negotiating the purchase of the patents, formulas, and intellectual property rights. Of special importance to this agreement is the completion of the never-before-issued EPA Landfill Stamp approval. ULTIMATE ABSORB 1103(TM) already meets or exceeds the requirements for EPA (as non-toxic), USDA, FDA, WHO and California Title 22 approvals. However, the EPA Landfill Stamp allows for encapsulated and absorbed materials to be deposited in landfills anywhere. On April 2, 2001, we were notified that we had successfully passed protocol for stabilized heavy metals in the hazardous materials containment portion of this testing. No other product has ever completed this portion of the test protocol. We have introduced the absorbent in South America, Scandinavia, Europe and in several industries within the U.S. Management has met and is in negotiations with a large, well established supplier of absorbents. The negotiations couple Summit's ULTIMATE ABSORB 1103(TM) with an already established product with national distribution in
place at major retailers. The agreement is currently being negotiated between both parties and details will be announced, if completed, during May 2002.
Pannache/Luscious Cosmetics has successfully established test markets for direct dealer sales and competition group sales, two very high volume markets. Both test markets demonstrated nearly 100% closing ratios. The profit margins are greater than any of our other products whether sold wholesale or direct to the consumer. We have executed an exclusive distribution agreement with Lady Burd Exclusive Private Label Cosmetics. The Dallas Apparel Mart Showroom for Lady Burd has been closed. Product and over 3500 customers have been transferred to our new offices which opened May 1, 2002. Sales personnel have been added in the home office, Dallas and Houston in an effort to begin selling over 100 products in the Lady Burd line now being Private Labeled by Pannache.
The new innovative fund raising program featuring Luscious Lips was kicked off in January selling Luscious Lips through high school drill teams, cheerleading groups and twirling groups. After attending the Texas Association of High School Drill Team and Dance Teams we received over 100 high schools prequalified for both product purchase for their dance team and sales as their fund raiser. International expansion is also anticipated from trade shows during 2002 which will include Dallas, Italy, Hong Kong and Canada.
Plans for a 60-second or 120-second info-commercial were put in motion for Luscious Lips during fourth quarter 2001. In January, Pannache and Thane Distribution Group executed an agreement for Luscious Lips for infomercial sales. Also, two additional products from the Pannache/Luscious Cosmetics line have been approved for airing on QVC.
Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this Outlook involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: our inability to obtain needed additional capital, loss of personnel - particularly chief executive officer B. Keith Parker - as a result of accident or for health reasons, interruptions in the supply of inventory from manufacturers of the inventory, the development of a competing fire suppressant by a well-capitalized competitor that either is able to develop a new product with the same attributes as our fire suppressant or is able to discover the additives to our fire suppressant that give it its unique and superior qualities, and an accident involving life or serious bodily harm that fairly or unfairly would bring into question the safety of using our fire suppressant products.

LONGVIEW, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2002--Summit
Environmental Corporation, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVT) Strategic Alliance
partners received certifications or market approvals resulting in
initial product sales in several areas around the world.
Canada -- The agreement with 614575 Alberta Limited doing business
as Just In Case Fire resulted in an agreement giving Alberta Limited
the exclusive rights to market FlameOut(R) and FirePower 911(TM).
Summit will not sell FlameOut(R) to any competing company trying
to duplicate the Fire Caddy or the Just In Case Fire System. In return
Summit sells FlameOut(R) for each unit to Alberta Limited for resale.
After the sale of FlameOut(R), Summit receives a royalty from the sale
of each unit. Sales of FlameOut(R) began in March and are continuing
on a regular basis.
Alberta Limited is involved with the sale of FlameOut(R) to
volunteer fire departments for supply necessary for wetlands reserves
and the Canadian Forestry Service. Alberta Limited is involved with
marketing FirePower 911(TM) to specific market retailers related to
camping and outdoors. The first order of FirePower 911(TM) is in
progress.
South America -- Chilean ratings for FirePower 911(TM) for Class A
and B fires have been completed. The first customer for FirePower
911(TM) in Chile is the Carabineros (20,000 Federal Police). FirePower
911(TM) will be part of each officer's equipment belt.
FlameOut(R) evaluation for The Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina,
Uruguay, and Paraguay) has evolved into an agreement to complete
blending of FlameOut(R) in Argentina. Freight, tax and import
incentives are very favorable for products manufactured in Argentina.
The company through South American partner, MPI, is dealing with
Petrobras.
One of the requirements for sale by Petrobras to companies and
departments within the Mercosur requires that the product be
manufactured in an affiliate country. Production of FlameOut(R) in
Argentina will provide locally manufactured product in order to match
the product which the company has already shipped to Brazil and been
tested.
The product manufactured in Argentina will be the concentrate
manufactured by BioGenesis containing the Company's patented formula
minus a couple of identifiable ingredients which will be purchased in
Argentina and Brazil. The addition of water and the blending process
occurring in Argentina will satisfy the requirements for Petrobras and
The Mercosur Countries.
The company will receive a royalty per gallon for product
manufactured in South America.
Europe -- Pyrogen UK Limited of Manchester, England was
instrumental in securing approval of FlameOut(R) as an approved
replacement for 3M's AFFF. The initial approval came from Poland,
whose certification is posted on the company website. Product sales
began in March and the next shipment is being prepared.
Scandinavia -- Tecno Supplies sells FirePower 911(TM) and
FlameOut(R). Initial customers and testing were for the Norwegian Air
Force and Exxon of Norway.
Mexico -- Recently the company reported the approval of
FlameOut(R) replacing AFFF at Pemex Oil Company of Mexico. In addition
to FlameOut(R) sales, the company is working contaminated site
reclaimations and remediation projects for Pemex. The Company will be
attending clean-up demonstrations this week for both projects.
China -- The recently announced agreement with Tianfa Corporation
and Tianyang Group of The People's Republic of China requires the
securing of registration licenses in China. Representatives from China
will be observing contract filling of aerosol cans at one of the
fillers used by Summit.
Summit sells FlameOut(R) concentrate to Tianyang for filling
aerosol cans in China. In addition to selling FlameOut(R), the company
will receive a royalty from the sale of each can produced.
"We are seeing sales of products to all of these venues. They have
been a long time in developing. However, the upside for sales in these
markets are very large. In addition, the first quarter report for 2002
will show significant reductions in overhead and expenses," states
Keith Parker, Summit CEO.

Summit Environmental's FirePower911 To Air On QVC
Business Editors
LONGVIEW, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 2002--After two years
of satisfying the stringent legal and regulatory issues surrounding
portable fire extinguishers, programming for FirePower911(TM) at QVC
is now on schedule.
Initial on air promotions are scheduled for mid-April.
Representatives from Summit Environmental Corporation, Inc.
(OTCBB:SEVT) met with the buyers at QVC home office in West Chester,
PA on February 24, 2002.
FirePower911(TM) stands alone as the only validated and rated fire
extinguisher in an aerosol can in the world. State Fire Marshall
offices regulate the sale of portable fire extinguishers according to
NFPA 10 standards ANSI/UL 8 and ANSI/UL 711.
Prior to Summit's acquisition of the patent and intellectual
property rights to FirePower911(TM) and FlameOut(R), the formula
concentrate inside the FirePower911(TM) can, a private label aerosol
can under the name Chief's Choice fire suppressor won Best of the
Quest at QVC for new products. The initial 16 airings for the product
averaged 4,475 cans sold per 15-minute show.
The wholesale purchase orders amounted to over $500,000. Today,
Summit owns the Chief Choice rights also, but chose in 1998, to switch
the name to FirePower911(TM) in support of the formation of Summit as
a new public company being formed at the time.
"I have dealt with testing facilities, laboratories, lawyers, and
state Fire Marshall's offices all across the United States striving to
attain this recognition for FirePower911(TM) as the only product which
can be sold due to the regulatory guidelines and fire codes. This is
definitely a situation where refusing to accept anything short of the
position established by FirePower911(TM) according to the statutes and
regulation has paid off," states Keith Parker, CEO.
FirePower911(TM) can be viewed at
http://www.summitenvironmental.com, in photo album, or going directly
to the directory choice, "See Products Work". Also see

(BSNS WIRE) Summit Environmental's FlameOut Approved As Replacement For AFF
Summit Environmental's FlameOut Approved As Replacement For AFFF In Europe
Business Editors
LONGVIEW, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2002--Summit
Environmental Corporation, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVT) announced today the
companies successful field testing of Summit's patented fire fighting
agent FlameOut(R).
FlameOut(R) has been involved in several tests versus the fire
fighting agent AFFF. Manufactured by 3M, AFFF is a very toxic agent
primarily developed for the suppression of fuel and petroleum fires.
Primary uses of AFFF have been around airports, refineries, drilling
operations and military installations.
The Company has received its first order to be shipped to Europe
to The Company's Strategic Alliance Partner, Pyrogen UK Limited.
FlameOut(R) has been selected by Pyrogen's customer to replace 3M
AFFF. The uses of AFFF have produced some of the worst environmental
problems associated with fire fighting recorded in the world.
FlameOut(R) is a totally non-toxic, rapidly biodegradable, fire
suppression agent.
The Company is scheduled to begin official military specification
testing with the United States Air Force for FlameOut(R) in March
2002.
The Company is also very close to completion of testing on
FlameOut(R) with the United States Forestry Service. The Company has
orders already in place once the forestry certification is complete.
New protocols developed around preventing the dropping from the air,
any fire fighting agents containing phosphates has FlameOut(R)
positioned as the premier product for ariel fire fighting companies.
Summit is currently working with two such companies in Canada
where the Canadian Forestry Service is awaiting United States Forestry
approval.
Additional news regarding FirePower911(TM) is due out within the
next two weeks as product approvals with a mass merchandiser and a
home shopping television network have been finalized. "These venues we
have been working on for over two years", states Keith Parker, Summit
CEO.

B: SUMMIT ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION INC - Finalizes Agreement in Canada
New York, New York, Feb 13, 2002 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Summit
Environmental Corporation, Inc. announced an agreement with 614575 Alberta
Limited of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
614575 manufactures unique fire extinguishing systems: one a residential system
containing 3.5 gallons of FlameOut(R); the other, a mobile gasoline powered unit
which can be moved to location by one person in a matter of seconds and uses 5
gallons of FlameOut(R). Additional five gallon containers of FlameOut(R) for
resupply are sold with these units.
Contract negotiations have been ongoing since February of 2001. The agreement
provides for royalties to be paid to Summit for these units when sold.
Currently, 614575 has presold orders for 18,000 of the residential units and
several hundred of the mobile gas powered units.
Summit's royalties for the unit using 3.5 gallons of FlameOut(R) is 5% and the
royalty for the unit using 5 gallons of FlameOut(R) is 3.5% of the wholesale
cost of goods.
"This is a solid agreement for Summit. Mark Hayes (of 614575) and I have
developed the right kind of relationship during the last year. We will be
receiving consistent monthly orders as the 18,000 pre-sold units will be
delivered to this specific 614575 customer incrementally over the next several
months, and they already have standing orders for the gas powered units," stated
Keith Parker Summit Environmental Corporation CEO.
614575 has also been involved with introducing FlameOut(R) to the Canadian
Forestry Service. Canada is awaiting the approval of the United States Forestry
Service certification of FlameOut(R) for wild fires which is anticipated during
Spring of 2002.
Summit's position for the sale of FlameOut(R) in Canada has been further
enhanced due to environmental policy prohibiting dropping fire fighting agents
from the air which contain phosphates, nearly eliminating all products currently
being used.
FlameOut(R), which is non-toxic, non-corrosive and rapidly biodegradable, fills
the void created by this new policy. 1999 saw over 93,000 wild fires in North
America covering in excess of 5,500,000 acres.

LONGVIEW, Texas, Feb 12, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Summit Environmental
Corporation, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVT) today announced an agreement with 614575 Alberta
Limited of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
614575 manufactures unique fire extinguishing systems: one a residential system
containing 3.5 gallons of FlameOut(R); the other, a mobile gasoline powered unit
which can be moved to location by one person in a matter of seconds and uses 5
gallons of FlameOut(R). Additional five gallon containers of FlameOut(R) for
resupply are sold with these units.
Contract negotiations have been ongoing since February of 2001. The agreement
provides for royalties to be paid to Summit for these units when sold.
Currently, 614575 has presold orders for 18,000 of the residential units and
several hundred of the mobile gas powered units.
Summit's royalties for the unit using 3.5 gallons of FlameOut(R) is 5% and the
royalty for the unit using 5 gallons of FlameOut(R) is 3.5% of the wholesale
cost of goods.
"This is a solid agreement for Summit. Mark Hayes (of 614575) and I have
developed the right kind of relationship during the last year. We will be
receiving consistent monthly orders as the 18,000 pre-sold units will be
delivered to this specific 614575 customer incrementally over the next several
months, and they already have standing orders for the gas powered units," stated
Keith Parker Summit Environmental Corporation CEO.
614575 has also been involved with introducing FlameOut(R) to the Canadian
Forestry Service. Canada is awaiting the approval of the United States Forestry
Service certification of FlameOut(R) for wild fires which is anticipated during
Spring of 2002.
Summit's position for the sale of FlameOut(R) in Canada has been further
enhanced due to environmental policy prohibiting dropping fire fighting agents
from the air which contain phosphates, nearly eliminating all products currently
being used.
FlameOut(R), which is non-toxic, non-corrosive and rapidly biodegradable, fills
the void created by this new policy. 1999 saw over 93,000 wild fires in North
America covering in excess of 5,500,000 acres.
LONGVIEW, Texas, Jan 3, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Summit Environmental

LONGVIEW, Texas, Dec 7, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Summit Environmental
Corporation, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVT) today announced that after six months of test
marketing, establishing a core dealer network and securing national
endorsements, the company will embark on an aggressive marketing campaign
beginning January 3, 2002.
On December 5, 2001, the Kilgore College Rangerettes officially endorsed
Luscious Lips as their performing lip product. Sunday, December 9, 2001, will
mark the appearance of the Rangerettes at Texas Stadium performing with the
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
"We will be wearing Luscious Lips and Luscious Dust on Sunday," says Dana Blair,
director of the Rangerettes. The endorsement agreement with the Rangerettes
affords Summit personal appearances by uniformed Rangerettes at all approved
trade shows, public appearances and marketing events.
Craig Morgan, Director, Texas Tourism Development in Austin, stated in a
newspaper article appearing in newspapers across Texas on Thursday, December 6,
2001, "With the Kilgore College Rangerettes, you're getting world class
publicity. They are the best of Texas Ambassadors to the World."
The first appearance for a trade show will be January 3-5, at the Texas
Dance/Drill Team Association State Convention. Summit's Pannache cosmetic
division has been approved as an associate member of the Texas Association.
Luscious Lips will be introducing the products at this convention as the
Ultimate Fund Raising Program.
Also appearing in Houston will be national spokesperson, Jessie Ward, the
current Miss Arkansas 2001 and top ten finalist at Miss America. Jessie appears
on the Luscious Lips website www.lusciouslips.cc or
www.pannachelusciouslips.com.
Additional endorsements for Luscious Lips were from Stacy James, current Miss
Texas and Marshawn Evans, Miss Washington D.C., a top 5 at Miss America.
Luscious Lips is a semi-permanent lip color which stays on for 8-10 hours after
applying. It is removed by a special remover. The product's unique design of
essential oils and botanicals makes it an environmentally friendly product.
Companies like Revlon, Maybelline, Avon, Cover Girl, and Beauty Control, to name
a few, have a product touting long wear capability.
These products simply do not stay on and can be rubbed off. Luscious Lips will
not come off or stain after allowing about 1 minute for drying time.
"The potential of the use of Luscious Lips as a fundraising tool creates very
exciting numbers for potential sales," states Paula Parker, Vice-President of
the company and the conceptual developer of Pannache and Luscious Cosmetics.
Summit uses two of the largest custom cosmetic laboratories in the world to make
these exclusive lines of products.
There are 178,000 drill team participants in Texas High Schools each year.
Summit has already sold some of the more well known high school drill teams in
Texas, like Memorial High School (Victoria), Foster High School (Houston), and
Longview High School (Longview).
During the test marketing phase in late July and early August, 22 presentations
were made to drill teams and cheerleading groups. Summit received 22 purchase
orders for Luscious Lips.
The national average for fund raising in schools is that each participant will
sell an average of six units. The addition of high school and junior high
(middle) school cheerleaders to the number of drill team participants, bring the
Texas annual participant levels to over 500,000. Summit already has commitments
from several organizations for its fundraising program.
A 1% penetration in the current marketplace in Texas alone means over $1,000,000
in sales to Summit with a net profit margin of 168%.
On December 15, 2001, Pannache/Luscious Cosmetics will be officially introduced
at the Miss Texarkana pageant where Jessie Ward is Master of Ceremonies. The day
prior to the event, a special imaging program will be held by Jessie Ward and
Paula Parker for all the pageant contestants. This is the first of pageants
continuing on through next June leading up to the crowning of the new Miss
Arkansas.
These pageants plus the junior pageants in Arkansas where Jessie will appear,
will be before over 50,000 participants.
"The profit margins for Luscious Lips is greater than any product we market
either on a wholesale or retail basis. When you have a 100% closing ratio in one
of your test markets and near 100% closing in your direct dealer program, this
is an area which generates nice profits for the company immediately and great
potential for sales in early Spring 2002," states Keith Parker, CEO of Summit.
SUMMIT ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION INC - Lighthouse America Signs Agreement to
Sell FirePower 911
New York, New York, Nov 20, 2001 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Summit
Environmental Corporation, Inc. announced the executing of an agreement with a
direct sales company, Lighthouse America for the sale of FirePower 911(TM).
Lighthouse America doing business as TeamFire, has previously sold a fire
prevention product through a network of 7000 direct dealers.
The joint effort between each company will combine the efforts of an established
sales organization and Summit's portable fire extinguisher FirePower 911(TM),
the only portable aerosol fire extinguisher in the marketplace today, which
meets the National Fire Protection Association Standard 10.
The particular standard is required in order for a portable fire extinguisher to
be legally sold. State Fire Marshals regulate the sales of fire extinguishers
within their own states. Cease and desist orders are issued to all violators
that market non-rated fire extinguishers.
The National Fire Protection Association reports that there is a residential,
emergency spot fire occurring ever 2.7 seconds. FirePower 911(TM) is the only
rated and validated fire extinguisher in an aerosol can in the world that meets
the NFPA 10 requirements.
"It is very satisfying after all the effort we have put into this product, to
find a company with the appreciation for the NFPA 10 approval. Lighthouse
previously experienced the involvement with the State Fire Marshals due to
misrepresentation from a previous product supplier. When they found FirePower
911(TM) and the unique rating and validation certification, which Summit
possessed, their issues were solved," said Keith Parker, CEO.
"According to Lighthouse, they had $1,600,000 in sales in an eight-month period
prior to State Fire Marshall enforcement action. FirePower 911(TM) has given
their organization their business back," stated Parker.
First shipments of FirePower 911(TM) by the pallet will begin this week.
Lighthouse will sell a product package that consists of a six-can case, mounting
brackets, and the 6-can counter display box developed by Summit.

Agree 100% and with the news that is coming out, it sure sounds like that soon is around the corner.
Very well said Sly its very hard to catch this one when she starts to run.
I think we are well on our way to the next step here with the PR that came out today and just wait till the PR comes out on the F-18 testing.

I don't like being out of this one very long,
when it takes off it is hard to catch .
LONGVIEW, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2001--Summit
Environmental Corporation Inc. (OTCBB:SEVT) announced today a final
agreement has been offered by the China Tianfa Group Corporation to
become the Company's exclusive products distributor in China.
"Wholesale prices for products have been agreed upon and a royalty
of 5% on all sales to end users would be payable to Summit when
subsequent wholesale reorders are placed," stated Keith Parker, CEO
Summit.
Tianfa Group is a multi-faceted holding company that houses China
Power 28 Company, Hubei Tianfa Petroleum Co., Ltd., China Tianrong
Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. and China Suaelun Paper Co., Ltd. and has
Y 10,000,000 (RMB) in total assets. Tianfa has been listed on the
Chinese Stock Exchange since 1996.
In another development, a group from Vancouver, BC that has been
negotiating for the rights to China notified Summit Environmental last
Thursday, July 5, 2001, of their interest in formalizing relations
that have been ongoing for six months. They informed management that
their representative would be at the home offices to meet with
management on Tuesday July 10, 2001.
During May 2000, Summit was selected as one of 24 companies from
across the United States to be published in the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce's Faces and Trades and to be presented before the United
States Congress as examples of small companies that could benefit from
the passage of the PNTR agreement that would allow China membership in
the World Trade Organization.
Summit's Keith Parker was one of four company CEO's that spoke
before the U.S. Senate subcommittee on exports, taxes and tariffs.
Parker was also selected from the group to be interviewed on National

relations was taken and successfully passed by both houses of the
United States Congress.
"Since I returned from Washington D.C. last May, we have had
active negotiations on a continuing basis regarding our products in
China. We are almost ready to execute the agreement with Tianfa. Their
desire for exclusive rights has given us the option of private
labeling with the other group. Our strategic alliance partnership
concept has hit a home run with the China Tianfa group," states
Parker.

FlameOut®, has been accepted by the United States Forest Service for laboratory evaluation.
The Company began the application process with the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Missoula Technology Development Center in December 2000. The initial purpose of the application was to submit the formulation of FlameOut® for acceptability in order to be tested by the Forest Service to qualify as an approved fire suppressant.
The Company is now preparing the test samples for shipment to the Missoula, Montana testing facility based on the acceptability approval. After successful test approval, FlameOut® will be eligible for possible procurement by the US Government. The Company already has commitments for purchases in Canada, pending the U.S. Forest Service approval.
Recently, there has been concern in the United States and Canada over currently approved products containing phosphates, and even banning of some of these products. The inclusion of phosphates in agents used to extinguish fires has been discovered to disrupt the ecological balance to the stricken areas, and also affects the water supply, killing animals and fish. ``FlameOut® will perform well in this test, as it is nontoxic, with an HMIS rating of 0-0-0-0-B,'' states Keith Parker, CEO of Summit Environmental.
The Company was successfully using FlameOut® on a voluntary basis in Florida in the 1998 summer wildfires, when usage was halted by the National Guard, because FlameOut® did not have Forest Service approval. Summit has extensive video footage of FlameOut® being used to create fire breaks in Florida, saving some very expensive sub-divisions by preventing fires from crossing a major highway. ``The completion of this test will create several new markets and customers for FlameOut®, some of whom are already committed to purchases,'' added Parker.
I agree, the products coming out are very promising. Time -- time -- and patience and we should see big things out of this company.
This is why investors are buying SEVT.
From the most recent S-3 SEC filing:
". . .We are now poised to commence selling our products in significant commercial quantities. . ."
Re: SEVT's S-3 SEC Filing
I find the last sentence in the excerpt from the filing most interesting:
" . . . PAGE< 4
SUMMARY
THE COMPANY. Our company, Summit Environmental Corporation, Inc., markets
products manufactured for us by unaffiliated companies. We either own the patent
and other intellectual property rights to our products, or we have licenses from
the owners of the intellectual property rights to our products.
Our principal product is a non-toxic, biodegradable fire suppressant,
called FIREPOWER 911(TM) or FLAMEOUT(R), depending on the strength of certain of
the active ingredients in the product and on the intended usage of the fire
suppressant.
We also market several industrial cleaners, the principal one being
ULTIMATE CLEAN 668(TM), a non-toxic, biodegradable turbine cleaner for use on
jet engines.
We have directed our efforts since December 1997
o to organizing and financing our company,
o to clearing our products with governmental regulatory authorities and
listing them with Underwriter Laboratories,
o to entering into strategic alliances with other marketing companies
and into product approval contracts with retailers, and
o to obtaining inventories of our products.
We are now poised to commence selling our products in significant commercial
quantities. We believe our products are superior to those of our competitors and
will be accepted by consumers of these types of products. . ."
IMHO the last sentence is our rocket launcher. Yes, four shareholders have filed to sell over 300,000 shares (combined), but so what and good for them.
I commend the Parkers for holding the lid on the number of common shares issued and that they have not issued any preferred shares, as allowed.
There is a statement in the filing referring to no planned dividends to allow as much as necessary company investment back into the company. I do believe however that there will eventually be sufficient sales to warrant a dividend.
Good luck to all Longs!
I believe in SEVT's products. CEO Parker's press releases are improving. For a while we were getting too much information, i.e., whether or not companies returned Faxes or not, etc. Now I hope the trend for 'just the facts' continues.
I also think the strategy of letting other companies fund the testing process has saved SEVT a lot of money up to this time. That saved money means fewer outstanding shares and when the sales start to provide income, the fewer outstanding shares the better for us investors
The last time this stock spiked up into the $3 range the market was in the grips of 'irrational exuberance fever.' When SEVT passes all of it tests on it's various products and starts to market the products, the stocks' dividend over time could push $3.
I would not fault anyone for setting an exit price, because we all have one. Just don't set it too low. Most of us who were in the market over the last few years were hit hard when the market dropped. Investors must balance fear with greed. IMHO fear in the case of SEVT could cost you a lot of money.
Good luck to all SEVT longs.
