Tersus Energy PLC to Acquire Energy Management Software Business
Tersus Energy PLC, the AiM-listed clean energy company, ('the Company' or Tersus
Energy') announced today it has entered into an agreement to acquire Envinta,
Inc., ('Envinta'), the US-based subsidiary of Energetics Pty. Ltd. of Australia.
Envinta develops, sells and implements information systems and solutions
supporting energy efficiency, demand response, and energy, environment and water
management to large commercial, industrial, institutional, utility and
government clients throughout North America and Europe.
These systems and solutions can be used by large organizations to adopt and
implement strategic, enterprise-wide energy and greenhouse gas management
programs.
Through its ENTERPRIZE.EM(TM) system, EnVINTA is managing over US$2 billion of
clients' energy spending.
The acquisition price is US$2.1 million, which will be satisfied as to US$1.5
million in cash payable from existing resources and $US0.6 million to be
satisfied via the issue of 785,079 ordinary shares of Tersus Energy at #0.44 per
share. The shares are subject to a 6 month lock-up period followed by a 6 month
orderly market agreement.
Envinta reported audited profits before tax for the year ended March 2005 of
US$368k and net assets of $344k. The acquisition is expected to be earnings
enhancing to Tersus Energy for the 2006 financial period.
The Board considers Envinta an excellent opportunity.
It believes demand for energy efficiency and energy and environment information
management tools will grow significantly as energy prices continue to rise and
as organisations increase greenhouse gas and carbon management focus.
The Board is confident that Envinta's solid customer base, combined with its
proven and proprietary offerings will enable it to continue to grow profitably.
Tersus Energy will provide additional value by using its skills and experience
to assist Envinta with gaining new market opportunities in North America and in
Europe, improving its business operations, developing new products and services,
and successfully pursuing growth strategies.
Steven Levine, Chief Executive Officer, stated:
'The acquisition of Envinta is consistent with the strategy of Tersus Energy
Controls, one of our three businesses, of investing into proven energy
technology companies with earnings and strong growth potential. We are delighted
to complete the acquisition having explained the Envinta opportunity to the
market in December, when we raised further funds.
The Envinta acquisition provides Tersus Energy Controls with a platform from
which to expand into the areas of energy efficiency, energy information
management, and environmental resource management. The acquisition also means
Tersus Energy Controls has now secured its platform investments in both
stationary energy management (Envinta) and mobile energy controls (Navitas) in
accordance with our stated strategy.'
The company continues to make progress in relation to its investment and
operating program. An announcement, including results for the year to December
2005, is expected shortly.
Application has today been made for the 785,079 ordinary shares of #0.44 each
to be admitted to trading on AIM, such admission expected 8th May 2006.

renewable energy in Asia, TAR is focusing on wind, biomass and clean coal,

into and operating a portfolio of bioenergy assets with chosen joint venture
partners.

business, primarily targeting established and emerging energy companies based
