2005-09-27 06:01 PT - News Release
Mr. Harold Lauman reports
AQUA PURE CLEANS UP IN TEXAS
A convoy of 6 low-bed trucks left Calgary Alberta on Monday, Sept. 26th, destined for the gas fields of Texas. This shipment, containing all of the pre-manufactured components for two additional water treatment systems completes 1/3 of the total orders to be delivered in 05/06.
The company��s proprietary technology is used to process highly contaminated oilfield wastewater and return approximately 90% as clean water, which the Oil Companies require in the production process. This reduces the dependency on fresh water resources (which are becoming increasingly scarce) and also reduces the need for disposal wells for disposing of the contaminated water.
Each unit, dubbed the ��Nomad��, is portable, and can be re-located in a 24 hr. period to a location close to the source of wastewater to be processed. The success of the ��Nomad��, combined with greater acceptance of the Salsnes Filter should result in orders in excess of $25,000,000 for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2006.

It would be a good start to trying to improve our reliance on water and lessening our wastage of it. Maybe before I turn 100 they will have weaned themselves off oil, and we might have a cleaner environment for it. |

This is nothing unusual Canucks especially Albertans are the best resource diggers in the world. |

Yeah it is. What do you think of it?
What I would like to know is why it isn't doing better in the market? Any stockmarket experts out there? |

Aqua Pure is pleased to announce the successful commissioning of the second and third mobile evaporator (NOMAD 2 and 3) in the Barnett Shale Gas Field in Wise County, Texas. The fleet of three units now has a total capacity of 6000 bbl/day of distilled water production. These units are now operating at near design capacity and are meeting all expectations.
Delzon Elenburg, President of Fountain Quail Water Management states, ��Our customer is elated with the quality of the distilled water we are producing and the capacity of the new plant to process their flow back and produced water. We are saving them 30% to 40% of their previous costs and are preserving valuable fresh water for future generations. This new NOMAD equipment has confirmed our belief in its potential and justified all of our expectations. ��
Aqua-Pure plans on the construction and delivery of six more evaporator units in 2006, bringing the total number in the Texas fleet to nine, with a total distilled pure water production of 18,000 bbl/day.
For more information, please contact: [email protected] or:
Jacob T. Halldorson Harold Lauman
Chief Executive Officer President

One of my adult business students works for a Japanese company that desalinizes sea water, while preserving the minerals. It really tastes good.
Sorry, "distilled" water tastes flat and flavorless.
With the rise in sea levels, and the pressure on water supplies, the desalinization process sounds like the way to go to me, if I were investing. |

Not an expert, but a per share loss for the last couple of years doesn't breed a whole lot of investor confidence. Dropping over 6 and half million on new equipment is bound to smack the hell out of a small-cap's financials (and that stuff depreciates, so it'll take a pretty good set of circumstances to make it pay off). Dumping more stock on the market reduces the value of common shares.
Penny stocks like this drop off and pop up all the time. Occasionally a penny stock does really well (I'm reminded of Rocket Resources back in the 80s) but they're really like gambling.
Fix up the financials and the stock price will respond accordingly, but that can only be done according to the whims of the consumer gods. |

Desalinization is generally used for drinking water purposes.
Where the aqua-pure unit is used for industrial and municipal use. It's primary purpose is to clean waste water.

Yeah, I see that and that's expected...however it's now has projected revenue. If it earns the projected revenue or even exceeds we should expect it to jump right? Especially when it's 25 mil. Way more than the 6 mil initially invested. |

Nope. Revenue does not equal profit and the 6 million invested in equipment isn't what they're selling marked up -- it's what they're using to make things for selling. I'm not saying it's not going anywhere, but judging from the financials I just looked at it's hardly a sure, or even a probable, thing. It might steadily increase or skyrocket, but I might win the lottery tomorrow (which would be all the more remarkable seeing as how I don't buy tickets). If you really want to know look more longer at the numbers and management. As for me, a negative eps means 'don't go there.' |

I'm not a financials expert and thus why I have posted this thread.
However, this is the deal Beaver. Company A uses a whole lot of water to extract the oil from the ground. In the process of extracting the oil, the water becomes contaminated. Generally, what used to happen was that they would just dump the water and use fresh water.
Alas...21st century
Water isn't quite as free as it once was and now there is a cost for disposal of waste water and usage of water.
Hello Aqua-Pure. Not only do they reduce the amount of waste water by massive amounts, but they now can reuse this water in the process. Company A saves money on not having to send water to waste and saves money on reusing the spent water.
This is where the revenue will come from. |

Nope. Here's the deal.
It's a good idea, it seems to be a decent product (although I haven't checked that closely enough), and it seems to have demand.
But, how many other companies are in this sector doing the same thing or how many other companies and doing something different to the same end? (what's the competition?)
Looking at the balance sheets, they've been losing money for at least 3 years. If they go bankrupt before they sign contracts AND collect the money it won't matter at all how good an idea or service they have.
"This is where the revenue will come from" would be much better stated as "this is where the revenue could come from." I'm not saying the company will fail, but with their financials they're definitely more likely to fail.
Any money put into this company, unless you have an insider who knows something not on the company reports, would be as well put into blackjack. |

AQE has been operating for over 10 years. If it would have gone under, it would have already.
Here are some it's advs.
1. The CEO of AQE was the CEO or the owner of colt engineering.
http://www.colteng.com/coinfo.html
He has a proven track record of building a small time company into a top 50 canadian business.
2. AQE has patented technology that makes its a pioneer in its field. The technology has been in existence now for 10+ years. Over those 10 years, it has been proven over and over again. The environment is now at a stage where people are beginning to become aware of environmental issues. 10 years ago, it wasn't. Big, big diff.
3. The revenue from this Texas deal will erase those debts and bring the company into the plus. |
