Additional Storm Water Purchase Order
AbTech also noted today that it has received a purchase order for the installation of a mid-size vault correcting an outfall pipe that flows into a bay on the Eastern seaboard. It should be noted that there are thousands of similar outfall pipes in need of upgrade along the East coast alone, not to mention the rest of the country. This particular project for $126,000 is being deployed primarily to protect the water quality in the bay, which is used for recreational purposes. The purchase order, 95 percent of which is attributable to Smart Sponge® material, is expected to be completed during the current quarter in time for the launch of the summer beach season. In a typical vault installation, AbTech recommends approximately 20 percent of the Smart Sponge® replacement annually.
"AbTech's Smart Sponge® technology is gaining worldwide recognition as an effective tool in eliminating targeted contaminants in water and, as such, is being incorporated into solution strategies being proposed by engineering service companies for the treatment of stormwater and wastewater," commented Glenn Rink, CEO of AbTech. "The focus on water contamination and water reuse is a topic of great interest both here and abroad, and of particular growing focus within the international investment community. This was evident in our recently announced transaction (see 8-K filing dated April 12, 2013) in which a substantial portion of our outstanding debt was purchased and converted into common shares of ABHD stock by investors based in the UK. As a result of the transaction, we reduced our outstanding convertible debt from $2.3 million to $480,000 and increased our common stock outstanding by 2.6 million shares to 67 million shares. Our fully diluted share count totals approximately 92 million shares."
