Company Seeks to Become Leading Provider of Biomass Technologies

FutureWorld Energy (OTC: FWDG), a vertically integrated "green" energy holding company, announced the expansion of its footprint into the global biomass industry by acquiring an interest in a world renown private research lab focused on renewable energy sources and biodiesel technology. Based in India, the private research lab provides over eight years of research and development of biofuels and bioenergy using only non-edible feedstock. The Company further announced it is actively seeking to form strategic partnerships and identify potential projects and companies for acquisition, to expand its intellectual holdings, as well as to enter into strategic partnerships with universities focused on research in bio-fuels.

"This move represents the second step in our strategic vision to move FutureWorld Energy into full operational status within the biofuels industry, and we are confident that, over time, our acquisition in the sector will deliver considerable value to our shareholders and employees," stated Sam Talari for FutureWorld.

"Our goal, since day one, was to find ways to reduce the causes of global warming and work towards solutions that will enable FutureWorld Energy to position ourselves as true pioneers in the area of biofuels and clean technologies. We believe that clean energy and water best represent those core areas, which need to be addressed on both a national and international level. We plan to attempt to work closer with the Obama Administration, Congress, non-profit groups, and the business community to help reduce America's dependence on fossil fuels by creating a marketplace for clean, sustainable sources of energy. With the completion of our first acquisition of SeaTech behind us, and now moving forward with our proposed partnership in the biodiesel arena, FutureWorld Energy is clearly on track with our business strategy to become a leading innovator within the world marketplace for clean, sustainable sources of energy," further stated Talari.

Wellstar International, Inc. (OTCBB: WLSI), a provider of specialized diagnostic software and equipment, announced today that it has secured $250,000 in financing through a private transaction with an accredited private investor. The financing will provide the Company adequate initial funding to start the roll-out of its thermal imaging systems that detect early signs of pressure ulcers among patients that are bed-ridden.

Wellstar's CEO John Antonio stated, "We are pleased with the confidence that our newest investor has placed in our ability to reach our next milestone. Through our innovative thermal imaging systems, Wellstar will become the leader in early detections of pressure ulcers throughout the healthcare industry. Our goal is simple; we want to provide the healthcare industry with a critical tool that will help them save lives and curtail potential liability by simply detecting the pressure ulcers before its outbreak."

The company has developed its thermal imaging system for various applications. The TMI technology and software has been approved by the FDA as an Adjunctive Diagnostic Screening Procedure for early breast cancer detection, differential diagnoses of pain dysfunctions (such as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Neuromuscular Skeletal Syndromes and neurological disorders), for the early detection of pressure ulcers, deep tissue injuries, and bedsores, as well as for orthopedic applications. The company has plans to market diagnostic systems for all of the above mentioned applications.
