Green St. Energy (OTCBB: MWAV), a company developing a portfolio of renewable wind energy assets, announced the results of an appraisal conducted by a leading global energy assessment firm, 3TIER, that have significant implications for the value of the company's newly acquired acreage in Tehachapi, California, a desert area known for its prolific production of wind energy. The independent report estimated the average wind speed at the Green St. Energy location to be 7.8 meters per second, or 17.5 mph. This means that the firm is 68% confident that the true wind speed at the location is between 14.5 and 20.4 mph. The report also estimated that the power capacity factor at the location, a common assessment tool for wind farm viability, is 40%, which is considered excellent by industry standards. Existing wind farms have been financed and successfully operated with capacity factors in the 28% to 30% range, suggesting that Green St. has acquired a property with significant potential for wind power generation. The report could help in attracting developmental partners and financing. The highly desirable characteristics of the acquired land, taken in conjunction with the high number of preexisting wind farms and infrastructure in the area could greatly enhance Green St.'s ability to generate significant revenues from the project. Shares closed up 29 cents on the week, finishing at $0.51.
Green St. Energy Completes Acquisition of Highly Desirable Property in Tehachapi, California to be Used as Wind FarmAccording a report issued by 3TIER, a leading global energy assessment firm, the estimated power capacity factor at the location, a common assessment tool for wind farm viability, is 40%. This rating is considered Excellent by industry standards. Many existing US wind farms have been financed and are being operated successfully at 28% to 30% capacity factors; thus, the Green St. Energy Tehachapi site rating by 3TIER indicates a wind power capacity that is approximately 33% greater than average standards for finance-able wind farms in the US market. The 40% power capacity rating is an annual average power capacity based on a turbine-type that is typical for the property.
"We are excited to acquire the first property in such a highly desirable area for wind to energy projects," said Tony Cataldo, M-Wave's Chairman and CEO. "We plan on moving aggressively to obtain the necessary permits to allow energy production on the farm. Due to the favorable legislative environment, existing infrastructure including transmission lines and strong interest from construction and development partners, we are optimistic that we will be able to begin energy production quickly relative to properties located in other areas of the country. We are also actively focused on completing the acquisition of the balance of the acreage from this owner."

KEYWORD: United States North America California Illinois INDUSTRY KEYWORD: Energy Alternative Energy Environment SUBJECT CODE: Contract/Agreement M-Wave, Inc. Announces Asset Purchase Agreement
ITASCA, IL, Sep 11, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- M-Wave, Inc. (OTCBB: MWAV), a provider of international procurement services, and a virtual manufacturer of customer-specified electronic components, sub-assemblies, and consumer products, announced today that it has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with certain members of its management team which provides that the Company will sell substantially all of the operating assets and the Purchaser will assume certain liabilities of the Company.
On September 10, 2008, the Company announced that Anthony J. Cataldo had accepted appointment as a Class I Director, to hold office until the next stockholders meeting. Mr. Cataldo has joined the Board to evaluate and formulate the future of the Company after the anticipated consummation of the APA.
ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Joseph Turek, Chairman and CEO, and Robert Duke, divisional president of M-Wave, have formed M-Wave International LLC, an Illinois limited liability corporation (MWI) for the expressed purpose of acquiring the operating assets of M-Wave, Inc. for $500,000 plus assumption of all operating liabilities including but not limited to accounts payable, vendor contracts and employee obligations. Additionally, MWI will extend a $500,000 operating term loan with an effective interest rate of 12% due December 31, 2008. Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company's obligations under the loan shall be extinguished. The closing is conditioned, among other things, upon obtaining shareholder approval of the transaction.
The board of directors accepted input from an engaged third-party investment banker that deemed the transaction to be fair from a financial point of view to the Company. The Company had, as a publicly reporting entity, been losing approximately $30,000 per month throughout the calendar year 2008. As such, the Board of M-Wave believed it could not continue to operate without an infusion of capital. The availability of capital has been generally constrained in the presence of continuing losses.
The Company states there can be no assurances that the APA with M-Wave International, LLC will be approved by stockholders and become effective.
