Deposit Paid on Terralift Acquisition Agreement
Wednesday April 28, 9:15 am ET
Agronix Moves to Close Acquisition Agreement on Terralift Ireland, Inc. to Acquire Operating Treatment Plant, With Plans to Install Agronix's GO Systems Technology
LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 28, 2004 -- Agronix, Inc. (OTC BB:AGNI.OB - News) (Berlin Stock Exchange: AGNI.BE) is pleased to announce that $50,000 has been released as a deposit pursuant to the Terralift Ireland Inc. Acquisition Agreement, with completion of matching funds loan agreement imminent.
ADVERTISEMENT
Agronix will acquire Terralift Ireland Inc., plant, buildings, permits and ongoing business for $1,500,000 plus common shares of Agronix. Business valuator, Ryan Butcher, ACCA MIAVI, Accountant and Chartered Surveyor, has estimated the value of the Terralift operation at $3.6 million US dollars. The Terralift facility is located 4.6 kilometers northeast of Castleblayney, County Monaghan, Ireland.
Agronix is planning a $4.3 million refit of the Terralift facility and equipment, which will result in an operation that generates $6.3 million in revenue, providing a greater then 50% ROI on revenues generated from tipping fees, organic fertilizers sales and soil amendments sales to existing customers under current contracts.
Terralift Ireland has secured contracts to receive 140 tonnes per day of clean, segregated organic waste from five major waste generators, however it is only obligated to accept inflow material at plant capacity. By installing Agronix's GO Systems in the Terralift plant, Agronix can increase the capacity of this plant and at the same time increase the quality, hence value of its output. Agronix has secured contracts to sell its production of organic fertilizers and soil amendments from the Terralift plant.
TRCPA...Here is some info on OWR/Agronix:
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/031114/agnie.ob10qsb.html
[snip]
The Company entered into a LOI with Organic Waste Returns, Ltd., dated January 7, 2003 whereby it had committed to acquire an 82% interest in the private Ireland registered company (OWR) for $1,500,000 cash and $1,000,000 worth of common stock. Under a separate Letter of Intent, OWR would acquire 100% of Terralift U.K. Ltd. Agronix would effectively be acquiring 82% of OWR, which owns 100% of Terralift. The letter of intent had an initial expiry date of January 31, 2003 but had been extended to August 31, 2003. Under the Letter Of Intent, Agronix would purchase 82% of Organic Waste Returns Ltd. (OWR).
On September 22, 2003 the company signed a formal agreement with OWR and Terralift U.K. Ltd, which included a deposit of $50,000. The company has 90 days from the date of signing this agreement to close on the agreement.
In addition, Dave Roberts and Dale Fehr have joined the Agronix team. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Fehr will provide the Company with due diligence for the acquisitions of profitable targeted sites as they relate to the BCR & BCIR Systems.
The addition of Dave Roberts and Dale Fehr of BC BioVentures is in keeping with the direction of the Company's business plan and mission statement. Recognizing the change in market conditions and implementing the Company's technologies through partnering in existing facilities is intended to bring revenue into the Company in a more efficient and cost effective manner.
The signed agreement for the Castleblayne, Ireland plant is a significant step forward for the company in that it will provide immediate revenues for the company upon closing.
TR...This is a snip ftom 10Q released 10/08/03:
In March 2002, we announced an agreement for the sale of two systems to Organic Waste Returns Inc., in Ireland. The first machine was delivered but not put into operation pending upgrades. Upgrades were made to a second machine in Vancouver. To date the second machine has not been delivered, and the first machine has not been put into production. We delayed delivery when it became apparent that the purchaser was unable to raise sufficient funds to meet final payment under the agreement. This sale did not close as the purchaser subsequently advised us that they were unable to raise sufficient funds to complete the project.
TR...If memory serves...They weren't established but had feedstock contracts. Here is the FASC NR...

NEWS RELEASE - March 25, 2002
News Release First American Scientific Corp ( FASC-OTC, BB) March 25, 2002
FASC announces sale of KDS equipment in Ireland to open new markets in organics waste processing
Mr. C.L. Kantonen, Chairman of First American Scientific Corp. ("FASC") is pleased to announce an agreement has been signed with Organic Waste Returns Ltd. ("OWR") of Dublin, Ireland for the sale and installation of 2 KDS systems for processing organic food waste.
OWR and FASC have been cooperating since June 2001 in the development of a combined system for the processing of previously unmanageable waste products, specifically food related wastes. Through a series of trials which included product conditioning and KDS equipment refinements, sufficient throughput volumes were finally achieved in January 2002, allowing commercially viable quantities of mixed food related wastes to be processed through the KDS equipment. To complete their project in Ireland, OWR signed agreements for the acquisition of two early model 150 hp KDS units. These units will be upgraded to incorporate current design standards and specifications and will be installed at OWR's waste management facility in the Republic of Ireland for the processing of mixed food related wastes.
OWR has engineered a unique process that combines several existing biological, chemical and mechanical technologies. When installed in series, these technologies, including FASC's KDS technology, can efficiently and cost-effectively process mixed organic waste to produce a stable, nutrient-rich product, which can be used in other processes, or combined with admixtures to create an organic-based specialty fertilizer. OWR currently enjoys access to established markets for organic based products throughout Europe and Australia.
Municipalities and countries around the world now have an effective alternative to land filling their organic wastes with the introduction of the OWR process, utilizing the KDS technology, and can effectively manage their problematic waste streams, while producing value added organic based end products. As new environmental regulations severely impact the disposal of organic wastes, FASC and OWR are strategically positioned to become leaders in waste management systems in the UK and Europe.
"We are extremely excited about the successful adaptation and sale of our KDS equipment to OWR and the new market opportunities this brings to FASC for the future sales in the waste management industry world-wide", commented Brian Nichols, President and CEO for First American Scientific Corp.
Certain information and statements included in this release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

HYDRO-QUÉBEC SELECTS KRUGER
BROMPTON 16 MW PROJECT
Biomass Cogeneration
Sherbrooke, December 18, 2003. Kruger Inc. today confirmed that Hydro-
Québec has retained the 16 MW biomass cogeneration project of the
Brompton Mill following the call for tenders issued by Hydro-Québec –
Distribution on April 15, 2003 for the supply of 100 MW of
electricity produced from biomass.
The green energy production project consists of installing a boiler
to burn biomass residue for the production of steam. The steam will
then be sent to a new power-generating turbine. An investment of over
$60 million is required to complete the project.
"We are very happy that Hydro-Québec has selected our project; its
realization will allow us to reduce our production costs and will
have positive impacts on the environment", said Mr. Denis Lafrenière,
General Manager of the Kruger Brompton mill. "The project will burn
sludge, bark and wood waste that would otherwise might have been sent
to landfill", he added.
Using biomass will reduce the Brompton mill's annual consumption of
fossil fuel by 25-million-liters. This change will contribute an
annual reduction in greenhouse gas equivalent to 80 000 tonnes of
carbon dioxide (CO2 e) .
Kruger Inc. will take all the necessary steps to obtain the required
authorizations over the next few months. Construction work could
begin as soon as all government authorizations are received.
Kruger is a major pulp and paper company engaged in the manufacturing
and sale of newsprint, specialty grades, lightweight coated paper,
directory paper, tissue, recycled linerboard, corrugated containers,
lumber and other wood products. Scott Paper Limited, a member of the
Kruger Company, is the leading tissue manufacturer in Canada. Scott

The way I understand it...HydroQuebec Capitech's money was for purchasing a 20% share of AGES. Even if used for R&D it would be AGES' money. [Some probably was used.]

Teleportation breaks new ground
16 June 2004
Physicists in Austria and the US have independently demonstrated quantum teleportation with atoms for the first time. Until now, teleportation had only ever been observed with photons. The results could represent a major step towards building a large-scale quantum computer.
In quantum teleportation, the sender, normally called Alice, instantaneously transfers information about the quantum state of a particle to a receiver called Bob. The uncertainty principle means that Alice cannot know the exact state of her particle. However, another feature of quantum mechanics called "entanglement" means that she can teleport the state to Bob.
Entanglement allows particles to have a much closer relationship than is possible in classical physics. If two particles are entangled, we can know the state of one particle by measuring the state of the other. For example, two particles can be entangled such that the spin of one particle is always "up" when the spin of the other is "down", and vice versa. An additional feature of quantum mechanics is that the particle can exist in a superposition of both these states at the same time.
Quantum teleportation
David Wineland and colleagues from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Colorado began by creating a superposition of spin up and spin down states in a single trapped beryllium ion (Nature 429 737). Using laser beams, they teleported these quantum states to a second ion with the help of a third, auxiliary ion (see figure). The NIST technique relied on being able to move the ions within the trap.
Meanwhile, Rainer Blatt and co-workers at the University of Innsbruck performed a similar experiment using trapped calcium ions (Nature 429 734). However, rather than moving the ions, they "hide" them in a different internal state.
The success of a teleportation experiment is judged by its fidelity value -- a figure of merit that shows how faithfully the quantum state of the first system has been reproduced in the second system. Both the Innsbruck and NIST groups achieved fidelity values of around 75%. By comparison, approaches that do not use entanglement cannot achieve fidelity values above 66.6%.
"Teleporting the quantum state of an atom is important and exciting for scaling up quantum computers," Blatt told PhysicsWeb. "It can be applied to distributed quantum information processing, and together with interfacing techniques -- which are still under investigation -- for networking between different nodes in a quantum computer."

FWIW:BP Releases "Statistical Review of World Energy 2004"
BP continued its 53-year tradition of compiling world energy statistics with the publication of its "Statistical Review of World Energy 2004" yesterday. This year's report shows that at current rates of production, the world's proved reserves of oil are sufficient to last for 40 years, although nearly 77 percent of those reserves are located in OPEC countries. The proved reserves of natural gas are sufficient to last for 67 years at current rates of production, with the largest reserves in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Proved reserves of coal are sufficient to last 192 years at current production rates, with most reserves in North America, the Asia Pacific region, and Europe and Eurasia.
World energy use increased 2.9 percent in 2003, with the strongest growth (6.3 percent) in the Asia Pacific region. Among fossil fuels, coal grew fastest in 2003, with an increase of 6.9 percent, largely due to a reported increase of more than 15 percent in China. Chinese oil demand has also doubled over the past ten years, leading BP's Chief Executive, the Lord Browne of Madingley, to conclude in his foreword that China "will be a major influence on the world energy scene from now on."
In contrast to the fossil fuel statistics, BP's statistics on renewable energy sources are relatively limited. The report does note that world geothermal capacity was just shy of 6,000 megawatts in 2000 and that wind power capacity has reached 40,000 megawatts worldwide, "signaling wind's emergence as a mainstream energy source." The report also notes that solar photovoltaic capacity has increased more than ten fold over the last decade. World consumption of large hydroelectric power held nearly steady in 2003, increasing by only 0.4 percent. See BP's "Statistical Review of World Energy 2004."

CB Industrial to lead in palm oil services
By KELVIN TAN
SECOND board-listed CB Industrial Products Bhd (CBIP) is well on its way to becoming a leading provider of palm oil milling equipment and engineering services at the international level.
The company now has an outstanding order book of RM200mil that will ensure the sustainability of its earnings for the next two years. More importantly, large portion of these jobs are from overseas.
Chairman and managing director Lim Chai Beng said that for 2003, revenue contribution from overseas jobs were about 60% of total revenue and this was expected to increase to 70% this year.
“We are currently involved in a project for Indonesia's PT MultigambutIndustri estimated at RM100mil to construct an access road as well as design, build and commission three palm oil mills,” he told a press conference after CBIP's AGM in Subang Jaya yesterday.
Lim Chai Beng
He said the company was now looking to secure a project potentially worth RM15mil to RM30mil in Papua New Guinea (PNG), having completed a RM32mil project in that country in the last quarter of 2003.
“Malaysia, Indonesia and PNG are currently the markets in which that we are strong but we are also making inroads into Thailand and the Philippines as well as other markets in Africa and Central America.
“CBIP is a one-stop centre that is able to meet 90% of the needs of engineering, equipment and services of palm oil milling industry locally and abroad. As such, we have had a lot of interest from potential customers all over the world,” he added.
According to Lim, CBIP’s expertise lies in building modular palm oil mills that are scalable with processing capacities ranging from five tonnes per hour to 45 tonnes per hour.
The modular palm oil mills, Modipalm, can be fully operational in as short as four months and at lower capital investment costs compared to conventional mills.
“Modipalm is easy to operate and the operating and maintenance costs are lower than those of conventional mills,” Lim said, adding that the flexible processing capacity meant that even small producers could benefit from Modipalm.
On CBIP’s prospects, Lim said the company expected the palm oil industry to enjoy double-digit growth in the next three to five years.
Wonder if CAL & Brian made this conference?

ASEAN will need $461B in energy investments thru 2020
Posted: 8:57 PM / Jun. 08, 2004
Agence France-Presse
ASEAN countries will need as much as 461 billion dollars in investments in the energy sector from 2001 to 2020 to sustain economic growth, the ASEAN Centre for Energy said Tuesday.
Speaking at a business conference, being held parallel to an ASEAN ministerial forum on energy, executive director Guillermo Balce said that energy consumption in ASEAN would rise to about 583 million tons of oil equivalent (MTOE) in 2020 from 280 MTOE in 2000.
The largest investment, or about 323 billion dollars, would be needed in the electricity sector, Balce said.
"If you really want to invest in Southeast Asia, invest in electricity because most of the findings (for demand) are in electricity," he told businessmen at the ASEAN energy business forum.
Among the 10 member countries of the ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Indonesia would require the most investment, ranging from 110 billion to 155 billion dollars, he said.
Thailand was second with about 74 billion to 103 billion dollars, he added.
ASEAN groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Balce, who is the executive director of the Jakarta-based study group, said that the estimates were based on expectations that economic growth would continue to improve within ASEAN with energy demand expanding even faster.
Speaking at the same forum, Ong Keng Yong, secretary-general of ASEAN, said that based on the ASEAN plan of action for economic and energy cooperation, the region would need 100 billion dollars in investment in energy from 2005 to 2010.
Some seven billion dollars would be needed to develop the natural gas potential of the region, Ong added.
