The issuance of certain equity securities of EFTI, based in part on performance. The parties are currently negotiating formal binding agreements to effectuate the MOU. Neither party is bound by any terms until all documents and approvals necessary to effectuate the MOU are finalized and executed. The parties expect to finalize documentation during the month of June. Ultra Green�s Tom Campone commented: �We have looked at a number of possible deals, but EarthFirst�s Channahon Bio-refinery has everything we were looking for in a bio-fuels opportunity. Ed Phelan and I have been to the Loders Croklaan facility and looked at the site and couldn�t be more impressed. EFTI has accomplished something very significant in today�s alternative fuels industry with the deal at Channahon. EFTI not only locked-up an existing facility with significant permits in place, but structured a transaction with very low up-front capital costs and a short lead time to start production. The Channahon facility has fantastic logistics, guaranteed feedstock and unique in-place equipment, not found in the typical bio-fuel plant, which should give us the flexibility to produce numerous value added bio-products.� EFTI�s CEO John Stanton remarked, �UGE is a perfect fit for the Channahon Bio-refinery. Mr. Campone�s record of success in building and operating bio-fuel plants and Mr. Phelan�s knowledge and 28 years of experience in placing specialty chemicals should certainly contribute greatly to the swift completion and expert operation of EFTI�s Channahon Bio-refinery.� Mr. Campone and Mr. Phelan will be joining Mr. Stanton in making the Company�s presentation at the Small Cap Conference tomorrow in New York City. EFTI is one of 12 AMEX, NASDAQ and OTCBB companies invited to make presentations.
