W2 Energy Inc. to Build Modified Rotary Engine to Run on Steam

Last update: 7:07 a.m. EST Nov. 12, 2008
TORONTO, Nov 12, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- W2 Energy Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WTWO), a developer of green energy, is pleased to announce it will build a commercial unit of its rotary hydrogen engine to run on steam. The engine based on US patent number 5,720,251 is being modified to run on low pressure steam recovered from W2 Energy's biomass to liquid fuel plants. The company will also couple the engine to various generators to build a low cost solution to waste heat recovery applications.
"We have developed a unique set of biomass-to-energy technologies. But one of the missing pieces has been efficient production of electricity," says Mike McLaren, CEO of W2 Energy. "Most of the small steam turbines convert approximately 30% of the heat energy into electricity. We thought we could do better. We anticipate 80-90 percent conversion efficiencies with this new turbine."

W2 Energy has developed a biomass-to-energy plant which converts 4 tons per day of tires, municipal solid waste, plastics or coal into a minimum of 420 gallons per day of a blend of liquid hydrocarbons, including ultra low sulphur diesel, gasoline, naptha and industrial waxes.

The first model of W2 Energy's high efficiency steam turbine will be used to power the 4 ton / day plant and to provide electricity to be sold back to the grid, from these 4 ton / day plants. The steam turbine which will mate to the 4 ton / day unit will generate 500 Kw continuous.

"We are not first and foremost a turbine manufacturer. But necessity being the mother of invention, we are developing this new kind of steam turbine so that we can make the best quality biomass-to-energy plant," says Mike McLaren. "In the end, we may be developing a whole new business sector for W2 Energy. That would be fine."

W2 Energy will also be building biomass-to-energy plants in larger sizes, up to 1500 tons per day, and will be developing this ultra-efficient steam turbine design for all of their biomass-to-energy plants.

"We are in the green energy business, and whether we are increasing efficiencies in the biomass reactor, in the gas-to-liquid reactor, or in the steam turbine, we are still fulfilling our mission of producing the cleanest, most efficiently produced energy in the world," says Mike McLaren. "That's what gets us excited."

JACKSONVILLE, NY, Nov 11, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Ulysses Diversified Holdings Corporation (PINKSHEETS: UDHC) announced today that it will start the exchange effective immediately of Ulysses shares for those of SecureNetView shareholders this week.

The share exchange will have no effect on the company's current authorized share structure of (102 Million Total - 100 Million Common and 2 Million Preferred) the new shares being issued for the exchange will be restricted for 1 year from the date of issuance and will not have any immediate impact on the current public float.

Upon the completion of the exchange Ulysses will perform an audit of its complete share structure and as previously announced reduce its authorized share structure by some 20 million or more if possible.

"I would like to Welcome and thank all of the SecureNetView shareholders for their cooperation and patience in this very hectic process; I would also like to thank our company's transfer agent for its very hard work in coordinating the share exchange and the time and effort spent by its staff," said Clayton Young, President and CEO.

Xechem International, Inc. and Xechem, Inc. Files Chapter 11 to Protect Assets as It Addresses Financial and Legal Challenges

Last update: 12:58 p.m. EST Nov. 10, 2008

EDISON, NJ, Nov 10, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Xechem International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: XKEM) (the "Company" or "Xechem") announced today, November 10, 2008, that it and one of its subsidiaries, Xechem, Inc., filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Bankruptcy Court") to suspend all litigation and to restructure its debt. The Company intends to work with all of its constituencies to reach mutually acceptable resolutions and to exit bankruptcy as expeditiously as possible. Xechem's operations are expected to continue as normal throughout the bankruptcy process, while the Company executes on its reorganization plans. Xechem's other subsidiaries are not part of this Chapter 11 filing. Xechem's Nigerian subsidiary, Xechem Pharmaceuticals Nigeria Limited, will continue its normal operations of the manufacturing and sale of NICOSAN(TM), a drug approved for marketing in Nigeria for the management of Sickle Cell Disease.

"As a result of litigation and litigation expenses arising from the law suits of former officers, employees and consultants of the Company, as well as third party lawsuits, and to protect the operations of our Nigerian subsidiary from default judgments and creditors, it became necessary to seek the protection of the Court. We have taken and will continue to take the necessary steps to protect, strengthen and expand our operations in Nigeria," said Dr. Robert Swift, Chief Oversight Officer of Xechem International, Inc. "After careful consideration of all available alternatives, the Company's Board of Directors determined that filing for Chapter 11 was a necessary and prudent step that allows us to operate our business without the threat of litigation that could have impaired or interrupted our Nigerian operation while continuing to implement a debt restructuring in a controlled, Court-supervised environment."
The Company expects to fund ongoing operations including payment of employee wages and benefits and payments to vendors for both goods and services provided during the Chapter 11 case, from available cash, cash generated by its Nigerian subsidiary, sale of assets and if necessary to seek a commitment for debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing. Available cash, cash from operations in Nigeria, sale of assets and the possible DIP financing will be used to fund the Company, subject to court approval, where necessary. In addition, the Company has commenced restructuring discussions with its unsecured creditors for conversion of debt of the Company into equity through a plan of reorganization, which if successful, would result in material deleveraging of the Company's balance sheet.

Dr. Swift continued, "Filing for Chapter 11 is never an easy decision, however, we view this process as an important step in our ongoing strategic restructuring. We expect to emerge from bankruptcy as a stronger, more able company, well positioned for growth and enhanced profitability. We are proud of the progress we have made to commercialize NICOSAN(TM) in Nigeria and look forward to commercializing NICOSAN worldwide."

Xechem has retained Heller, Draper, Hayden, Patrick, & Horn, L.L.C., a bankruptcy and insolvency law firm, to assist the Company throughout the restructuring process.

The Company and its domestic subsidiary have filed their voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Xechem International, Inc. case has been assigned case number 08-30513 and Xechem, Inc. has been assigned case number 08-30512. Additional information about the restructuring will be made available at the parent Company's website http://www.xechem.com within the next three weeks.

Apple Rush Announces Second Quarter 2008 Financials; Revenues Double From First Quarter

PR Newswire
8:45 AM ET
Apple Rush (Pink Sheets: APRU) today announced financial results for its second quarter 2008. The full set of financial statements can be viewed at http://www.applerush.com.

Revenues more than doubled in the second quarter of 2008 to $1.66 million, up from $599,000 in the first quarter of this year. Revenues totaled $2.26 million for the first six months of 2008. The growth is exponential compared to the first six months of 2007, in which revenues totaled $42,952. The increases were largely due to the first full three months of operations from Garden Distributing, Apple Rush's distribution company.

Total operating expenses increased from $223,127 in the first quarter to $435,095 in the second quarter as the Company logged its first full three months of managing Garden Distributing. Much of these increased expenses were incurred because of the full employee burden of the Garden Distributing operation as well as increased costs related to fuel, raw materials and added insurance costs. The Company posted a loss in both quarters in 2008.

Apple Rush continues to make improvements in managing and controlling its operating costs and expects that the net loss will decrease in the 3rd quarter and turn to profitability in mid to late 2009.

In comparing the first six months of 2007 to 2008, the Company has dramatically improved its gross profit from $3,651 to $329,987 respectively. Most of these improvements are related to increases in the sales of more highly profitably products and the controlling the costs of raw materials.

Robert Corr, President and CEO of Apple Rush, said the results were within management expectations. "The addition of Garden Distributing has greatly changed the complexity and profitability of our operation.
