"Given his experience in managing projects of similar scope and complexity, and his contacts in the marine community, I am confident he will move USI forward quickly on this project."

About Universal Systems, Inc.

Universal Systems, Inc. (USI) is a publicly traded holding company focused on providing economically and ecologically viable water and wastewater treatment solutions. USI offers a FULL SERVICE turn-key water treatment services, specializing in "slop oil" and CBM (Coal Bed Methane) produced water.

In 2007, USI obtained an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement to provide slop oil and processed wastewater treatment services to the oil industry. The company's mission is to become the leader in the development and delivery of cost effective slop oil and processed wastewater treatment. USI joined Powell Water Systems, Inc. (PWS) and Water Solutions, LLC (WS) to bring PWS's patented electrocoagulation technology to the oil industry, making large flow waste oil, and water treatment efficient and cost effective.

More recently, USI has discovered the immediate need to become involved in building, owning, and operating centralized produced water processing facilities. This service is widely needed wherever natural gas is produced. The diminished capacity to handle processed water from natural gas production is causing some production wells to be shut in until alternative-treatment plants can be brought on line. As tougher water discharge regulations are imposed, the need for these services becomes even greater.

USI's business plan for expansion includes the purchase or acquisition of other specialized trade service companies that will complement and enhance the overall product and service offering of the company.
