Beacon Solutions Announces $20 Million Global IP Telecom Engagement
-- New Multi-Year Order from Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Client Expected to Total $20 Million Over 5 Years --
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb 17, 2010 -- Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BEAC) an emerging global leader in the design, implementation and management of high performance Information Technology Systems ("ITS") infrastructure solutions, announces a multi-year global IP telecom engagement with one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies valued at approximately $20 million over five years.
This engagement will cover all of the Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company's facilities throughout the world, including North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The global enterprise client is migrating their entire system to Voice Over IP (VoIP), and Beacon has been engaged to perform a global LAN / WAN remediation and upgrade, in order to bring each facility up to the standards required to handle the increased demand on the overall network.
"We are pleased to announce our latest engagement with this Fortune 500 pharmaceutical client," said Bruce Widener, CEO, of Beacon Solutions. "This order represents a sizable project win for our global operations. As we've mentioned previously, becoming a preferred ITS solutions partner with our global enterprise clients and servicing their mission critical Layer 1 network infrastructure, opens numerous opportunities for additional collateral work, as evidenced by this multi-year engagement." Over the next five years, this engagement requires our engineers and installation teams to be dispatched globally to each client site where they will survey and document the entire existing network in preparation for a Voice Over IP (VoIP) retrofit. The engineering teams will be coordinating with client IT teams and identifying technology gaps in their current network including related environmentals and building systems. These teams will then perform a gap analysis and create a remediation design for any observed technical deficiencies. Beacon's engineers and project managers will ensure compliance with the design during the implementation phase, while our installation teams will implement any changes or additional infrastructure required. Any additional work would fall under a separate engagement.
"A project of this scope is a perfect fit for Beacon's global reach and best of breed customer service," added Rick Mills, President of Beacon Solutions. "Beacon employees are currently stationed within this customer's facilities and are performing work related to other engagements. We intend to utilize a combination of existing and new personnel resources to fulfill the engagement and believe that there are further opportunities to work with this Fortune 500 client as they continue to assess and upgrade their networks." This Fortune 500 client first engaged Beacon Solutions in 2008, and now uses Beacon's ITS infrastructure provisioning expertise to assist with the management and integration of its vast network of primary facilities and remote sites around the world. This latest order relates to additional system assessments, above and beyond the previously announced North America and EMEA contracts, which encompass the day-to-day ITS provisioning, maintenance and service.
Headquartered in New Jersey, this Fortune 500 customer is a global research driven pharmaceutical company. The customer discovers, develops, manufactures and markets vaccines and medicines to address unmet medical needs.

GreenMan Technologies Letter to Shareholders; Sets Annual Shareholders' Meeting Date
CARLISLE, IA, Feb 17, 2010 -- GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GMTI) today announced that its Annual Shareholders' meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, at 9:00 A.M. at the Burlington Marriott, One Burlington Mall Road, Burlington, Massachusetts, 01803. In conjunction with the mailing of the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting and the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the following letter to the shareholders of GreenMan was included.
To Our Shareholders: Fiscal 2009 was a transformational year for GreenMan, one in which we completed the sale of our scrap tire recycling operations for almost $28 million and also made great strides in establishing a blueprint for our future success. Despite the difficult economic landscape encountered in 2009, as I write to you today, GreenMan has approximately $4 million in cash on the balance sheet which provides a strong foundation from which we intend to grow our business, capitalize on future projects and increase shareholder value.
A notable achievement during fiscal 2009 was our purchase of American Power Group ("APG") in July 2009. APG has developed a state-of-the-art, patented, retrofit dual fuel upgrade option for diesel engines, allowing engines to burn less diesel fuel, thereby reducing emissions as well as operating expenses. With legislation pending to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and efforts underway to limit our country's dependence on foreign oil, we believe alternative energy solutions, such as the technology provided by APG, will represent a large growth industry in the years to come. Likewise, APG's dual fuel solution has generated strong international interest, particularly in countries that rely on diesel generators due to inconsistent power grid service. APG's technology has both stationary and vehicular applications and, by using this dual fuel technology, a diesel engine or generator may be upgraded to operate on a combination of compressed natural gas and diesel; on diesel fuel and bio-methane, or on 100% diesel fuel as the situation requires. The system is capable of displacing 40%-60% of an engine's diesel fuel usage which has historically translated to net fuel cost savings of 25%-40% over that of engines running solely on diesel fuel. Additionally, the APG system is non-invasive to the original equipment manufacturer's engine which allows the engine to run within all performance limits without any performance loss.
In the months since the acquisition was completed, GreenMan has mobilized to fully commercialize APG's dual fuel technology on a worldwide basis, focusing on becoming the retrofit provider of choice for the estimated 20 million diesel engines in the U.S. and the estimated 40 million diesel engines operating internationally. The demand for alternative fuel solutions is driven by the desire for net fuel savings and improved emissions with the market for upgrades on older generators and diesel engines estimated to be in the hundreds of millions, if not several billions of dollars and noticeably underserved. Our domestic business is comprised primarily of stationary applications for generators in facilities such as government buildings, universities, cold storage warehouses, cities/towns, data storage centers and hospitals which are required by federal law to have seven full days of back-up diesel or alternative fuel power in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. We are exploring opportunities with vehicular applications in North America, including light to heavy duty diesel fleet trucks, refuse trucks, government vehicles and school buses. Internationally, APG has provided stationary applications within corporate buildings, hotels, manufacturing facilities and oil drilling rigs as well as vehicular applications for delivery trucks, city buses and government vehicles. South America, Africa, India, and Pakistan are among the countries where APG has provided its technology.
With diesel fuel prices forecasted to increase and the growing worldwide focus on protecting the environment through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we believe APG's dual fuel technology is the right solution at the right time. We are optimistic about the market opportunities available to us via APG's technology and believe our investment in diesel engine dual fuel upgrades will result in a promising future for our Company and long-term value for our shareholders.
During fiscal 2009, the struggling economy and tighter discretionary spending impacted our Green Tech Products subsidiary as customers delayed or eliminated playground related expenditures. Despite these challenges, we have solidified our existing relationships with municipalities, school board associations and state-based departments of natural resources during the past year and have made progress toward expanding our footprint into new geographic markets. We believe our past work and experience as a provider of safe, ADA accessible and compliant playgrounds will continue to differentiate us in the marketplace during the coming year.
Fiscal 2009 was a tremendous year for GreenMan and we are energized by the prospect of what we can accomplish in fiscal 2010 and beyond. We are taking a disciplined approach to establishing our marketing structure and building customer loyalty across our entire organization while also remaining focused on operational excellence.
Thank you for your continued support of GreenMan Technologies; we look forward to sharing future successes.
Sincerely, Lyle Jensen President and Chief Executive Officer GreenMan Technologies, Inc.
