AVNT News:
December 27 - Aventura Acquires Technology and Marketing Rights
Aventura Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: AVNT) announced the acquisition of
technology and marketing rights for an IPTV solution for broadcasters
and content providers from IPWebTV, Inc., a Delaware Corporation.
Craig A. Waltzer, Chief Executive Officer for Aventura, said, "The IPTV
broadcast technology acquired by Aventura from IPWebTV, Inc. (Delaware)
is the first strategic purchase towards the Company's future direction.
Aventura plans to capitalize on its new property by marketing custom
infrastructure solutions to Internet Service Providers ('ISP') and
Content Service Providers ('CSP'). Aventura will operate the business
under a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary IPWebTV, Inc., a Florida
Corporation."
Waltzer stated, "The market for IPTV solutions is in its infancy and
the market has caught the eye of Information Technology industry
leaders. The bellwethers such as Cisco, Microsoft, Alcatel and Motorola
have all launched product offerings on the hardware, software or
solution side of the equation."
Waltzer further stated, "According to an Infonetics Research report,
worldwide subscribers are predicted to swell to 53 million by 2009 with
service providers investing rapidly on IPTV content and transport
equipment. The Infonetics report projects in 2009, $26 billion in capex
expenditures for IPTV infrastructure."
Waltzer concluded: "The Company anticipates immediately generating
revenues as it has a ready-for-market solution. At the early stages,
sales of the product shall focus on back-end operations, by providing
testing and verification hardware and software solutions to
broadcasters and carriers in the IPTV space. We believe that this niche
market provides several unique opportunities for Aventura to grow out
the business model. The Company will continue to seek out strategic
opportunities domestically and abroad and team with other industry
leaders to build on its newest platform of product offerings and expand
that research to include content delivery systems."
The purchase price for the transaction is five hundred (500) Shares of
Non-Voting Convertible $0.001 Par Value Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") of the Company. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 500
Million Shares of the Company's Common Stock.

GSGF News:
December 27 - GS CleanTech to Take GS AgriFuels Private
Transaction Will Mark Completion of GreenShift's Restructuring
GS CleanTech Corporation (OTCBB: GSCL) and its majority-held
subsidiary, GS AgriFuels Corporation (OTCBB: GSGF), announced GS
CleanTech's plan to transfer its interest in the capital stock of GS
AgriFuels to a new wholly-owned subsidiary of GS CleanTech. After the
transfer, the new GS CleanTech subsidiary will merge GS AgriFuels into
itself in accordance with the short-form merger procedures provided in
Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. All non-affiliated
minority shareholders of GS AgriFuels will receive a cash payment of
$0.50 per share as a result of the merger and will thereafter cease to
be shareholders of GS AgriFuels. GS AgriFuels will, therefore, cease to
be a public company at the conclusion of these transactions.
The completion of these transactions is subject to the consent of GS
CleanTech's and GS AgriFuels' senior creditor, YA Global Investments,
L.P. ("Global"). GS CleanTech expects to obtain this consent in the
near term, based on recent favorable discussions with Global. If the
consent is obtained by early January, GS CleanTech expects that it will
declare a definitive date for the merger during January 2008, and that
it will complete both the merger and the cash distribution within the
first 6-8 weeks of 2008.
The short-form merger of GS AgriFuels will be part of a series of
transactions that GS CleanTech expects to complete in the next few
weeks, involving the restructuring of GS CleanTech's existing debt and
the closing of new financing to support the ongoing construction and
operation of GS CleanTech's various corn oil extraction systems.
Background on GS AgriFuels Transaction:
Ed Carroll, GS AgriFuels' chief financial officer, said that "We have
been burning too much cash at the corporate level administering
multiple public entities. We believe that taking GS AgriFuels private,
along with the other restructuring steps we have taken during the past
60 days, will significantly reduce corporate overhead, while
streamlining our operations and alleviating the confusion that our
multiple entities cause to both our clients and our shareholders."
Kevin Kreisler, chairman of GS CleanTech and GS AgriFuels, added: "The
elimination of confusion has been a chief goal of our restructuring, as
minority shareholders in each company have expressed concerns regarding
the relationship between GS CleanTech and GS AgriFuels."
In late 2006, GS AgriFuels acquired NextGen Fuel, Inc. ("NextGen"), a
development stage company that had developed proprietary and
patent-pending technologies for the high efficiency transesterification
of qualified oils and fats into biodiesel. While the NextGen reactor is
an elegant, robust and proven technology, upstream and downstream
processes are required to prepare targeted oils and fats before
reaction and to purify the fuel after reaction. GS CleanTech's
engineers have either redesigned or designed nearly all of the upstream
and downstream processes used in conjunction with the NextGen reactor
today. Moreover, since NextGen never had its own engineering,
manufacturing, installation, commissioning or any other technical staff
after the acquisition, GS CleanTech's engineering and manufacturing
teams have conducted virtually all of NextGen's operations since early
2007. Significantly, GS CleanTech's staff is directly responsible for
GS AgriFuels' third quarter profits.
Kreisler continued: "The degree to which GS CleanTech's and GS
AgriFuels' operations are integrated and the extent to which GS
AgriFuels relies on GS CleanTech's engineers raises issues for the GS
CleanTech shareholders that must be resolved. After reviewing a variety
of alternatives, we concluded that the most equitable way to resolve
these issues is for GS CleanTech to take GS AgriFuels private for fair
value."
"We also believe that the combined benefit of GS AgriFuels' and GS
CleanTech's commercialized technologies will be more effectively
realized and translated into increased shareholder wealth by taking GS
AgriFuels private. Once this transaction is completed, the value
proposition presented by GS CleanTech's various biofuels technologies
and operations will no longer be diluted and spread across multiple
publicly listed entities - it will be concentrated in one company: GS
CleanTech."
Completion of Restructuring:
The completion of the short-form merger will mark the completion of
GreenShift's accelerated restructuring.
Kreisler concluded: "We are producing cash flows today with
technologies that were not in the field a year ago, and our growth
rates of sales and earnings show that we can build an extremely
exciting and profitable company. With the completion of our
restructuring, we believe that our capital structure is now primed to
accurately reflect the market value of what we are building and to
enhance value for all of our shareholders. We will face considerable
risks moving forward as we continue to scale our operations, but we
have a strong foundation and I am confident that our team can make a
significant contribution to the nation's efforts to increase the
utilization of biofuels."

claims the new alloy, referred to as 14 Karat Platinum , has certain
properties that make it superior to the 95% platinum used in the

castability, and greater durability.
"This new platinum alloy is considered to be one of the most
significant innovations in the jewelry industry in the past one hundred
years," states Philip Septimus, Chairman of Sentra Consulting. "We
believe that marketplace acceptance of 14 Karat Platinum will follow
the same path as the popularity of 14 Karat gold which now dominates
the jewelry market."
