Hydro Alternative Energy, Inc. Announces Acquisition Of Water Power Technologies, LLC.

    BOCA RATON, FL, December 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hydro Alternative Energy, Inc. ("HAE" or the "Company"), a renewable energy company, announced today that it signed a definitive unit purchase agreement ("Agreement") with Water Power Technologies, LLC ("WPT") and its members following which WPT has become a wholly-owned HAE subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Agreement, HAE purchased all the issued and outstanding units of WPT for HAE common stock. As a result of the Agreement, HAE through WPT has acquired exclusive licensing rights to certain water power technology for use in certain commercialized water power applications. Such licensing rights are memorialized in an exclusive licensing agreement ("Licensing Agreement") between WPT and Harry Robinson, one of WPT's former members. This Licensing Agreement provides for an exclusive (subject to certain delineated revenue criteria) license to such technology which is the subject of pending U.S. and international patent applications.

HAE believes that the basic design of the technology set forth in the patent pending applications will allow HAE to save approximately 2 to 3 years of research and development, since WPT has already developed a working prototype and our engineering firm, Parametric Solutions, Inc. ("PSI"), which introduced HAE to WPT, and certain of whose engineering team were members of WPT and are now HAE stockholders, has detailed working knowledge of the technology comprising the prototype device.

In view of such factors, Mark Antonucci, Chief Financial Officer and co-founder of HAE was quoted as saying: "We feel that we are going to be able to produce working turbines and/or farms in areas others could not. We believe that this patent pending technology will allow us to install individual or multiple units in slow moving water."

Mr. Antonucci was further quoted as saying: "HAE is developing a system to generate clean, inexpensive and predictable energy by converting ocean and tidal currents into usable energy through its planned Hydro Power Generation System. Utilizing these currents, we believe we will be able to create significantly higher levels of power generation as compared to other renewable and/or alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power. We believe that the turbine described within the patent pending applications will allow our system to generate more power than originally estimated. The design of the patent pending technology is modular in design, environmentally friendly and unobtrusive to the surrounding area."

Jon Landau, CEO of HAE, said: "I am excited not only about the significant leap in technology HAE has acquired through this acquisition, but also about the strength of our engineering team, who now have a vested interest in our success."

Joel Haas, CEO of PSI, stated: "I see great potential in HAE and am excited to be working on HAE's Hydro Power Generation System. Through the combination of the patent pending technology and the vested interest that PSI and Mr. Robinson now have in HAE, this business relationship is going to add tremendous value to the project and help HAE bring industry leading products to market faster than originally anticipated."

Harry Robinson, the inventor of the technology, was quoted as saying that "I am very excited that such a talented, hardworking and focused group of people has been put together almost as if it were fate to bring my dream to fruition. I am looking forward to assisting HAE in accomplishing its goal of getting the Hydrokinetic Power Systems designed, deployed and operational."
