Forterus Announces Historic Day for Company

MURRIETA, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On January 27, 2010, Forterus, Inc. (Pink Sheets: FTER), announced that it is has executed a management services agreement for a licensed facility in downtown San Diego.  The facility is licensed by the State of California and already has a conditional use permit from the county of San Diego for 36 beds.  This represents an increase of 35% in Forterus's overall capacity.

Paul Howarth, Forterus's CEO, stated, "This is a historic day for our Company.  This agreement represents the beginning of a process of transition into a facility-based organization, which will increase Forterus's overall value.  Our executives have worked tirelessly to complete this transaction ahead of schedule in order to meet the increase in demand.  Having a facility in the downtown area of a major city represents a significant growth marker for us.  This facility represents the first step towards our goal of becoming the largest private drug and alcohol treatment provider in California.  This increase in capacity is our largest increase in the history of the Company.  The Company is currently operating at 100% capacity with a significant number of people beginning their treatment in the coming days."  

The management services agreement will remain in place until the licenses can transferred into Forterus's name. A real estate lease is attached with the management services agreement.  Once the Company terminates the management services agreement, Forterus's lease of the property becomes effective.  This process is expected to take six to nine months before the licenses will be transferred.  The management services agreement takes effect February 1, 2010.
