WHAT IS OZONE? The name "ozone" is derived from the Greek word "ozein" which means "to smell". Ozone is a bluish, water-soluble gas with a distinctive smell, that has been used to purify water since 1893. Ozone is used chiefly for disinfecting, detoxification, and deodorization in water purification and air conditioning, along with many other applications. The first time ozone was used in food preservation was in the early 1900's in a Cologne, France meat packing house. Ozone is most essential in meeting the high demand for safe food and with the extension of shelf-life, will provide less waste of food products. "Less Waste Is More Food" which means more money in your pocket. The use of Ozone leaves no toxic by-products or residues and is non-carcinogenic. Ozone occurs naturally in the environment. In nature, oxygen is released from plants and sea plankton during photosynthesis. Oxygen floats upward into the atmosphere and in turn is converted into ozone by ultraviolet radiation. This blocks out the harmful UV b rays that cause skin cancer. The production of ozone is dependent on the amount of the suns energy. This helps explain the shortage of ozone over the poles in the winter months when there is a lack of sunshine. Ozone, being heavier than air, is carried in down drafts into the lower atmosphere. As the ozone falls it oxidizes any pollutant or contaminate with which it comes into contact, turning it into a safer compound. Chlorine is the main compound which reduces the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. If ozone comes into contact with water vapor during storms it forms hydrogen peroxide. This is why plants flourish better with rainwater than with irrigation water. This is natures way of cleaning the environment. "Natural" ozone concentrations can vary between .01 ppm to .05 ppm, depending on geographic location, altitude and season. The cycle of oxygen and ozone is just like the cycle of water in nature. Ozone is created by waterfalls and oceans surf. This accounts for the calm and the relaxed feeling enjoyed while at the beach or in the mountains. Ozone is also created during thunder and lightning storms with concentration levels triple the allowable limit, as set by the EPA. Ozone is created electronically or through ultra-violet light by converting molecules of Oxygen (O2) into molecules of Ozone (O3). This is sometimes referred to as activated oxygen, triatomic form of oxygen or pure air. Being an unstable gas, ozone's life span is about 20 minutes, depending on the temperature. After completing its job, it reverts back to oxygen. This means ozone has to be produced on site. Ozone is second only to fluorine as the most powerful oxidant in the world. It's the most powerful, natural air and water sanitizer readily available. Ozone will break down any chemical into that chemical's basic naturally-occurring component parts. After time they are eventually broken down into water, carbon dioxide, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. These elements are all naturally occurring substances needed for our survival.

Mixed emotions on the announcements.. Dilution? Resignations? We must read between the lines on these things.. So far the stock hasn't reacted to it.. I hope these aren't the big announcements I've been hearing about.. Dave

Brenda: How much stock is involved in the private placement? Admittedly, the dilution issue isn't as important as the capitalization issue at this point in OZON's development, but that doesn't mean it's meaningless.
