Universal's President Vince M. Guest states, "We're truly excited about the major achievements we have made thus far this year. The outlook for the company is very strong, and we could not have achieved any of this without the dedicated, and talented team of professionals at Universal Bioenergy and NDR Energy Group. We take issue with some who make statements that we are a pump and dump company. We are a real company with solid audited revenues of $71.74 million in 2011, three operating divisions, verified contracts with 30 of the largest electric utilities in the country, record sales volumes of natural gas, and plans for major expansion. Pump and dump companies don't have real operating companies, and never achieve any of the things we have achieved. Our future plans also include several major acquisitions, exports of coal to several foreign countries, and importing oil from several foreign countries for sale and refined energy products. We also anticipate the DTC will provide us with a final disposition on the chill on our stock very shortly. A major goal for 2012 and beyond is to begin to generate solid earnings for the Company and create an energy powerhouse."
