Dear Nabil,
It was truly a pleasure to have met with you earlier today. As discussed,
I am keen to explore the possibility of a strategic relationship between
GE and Aqua Sciences. As you know, Aqua Sciences has developed a
proprietary technology that can generate clean water from the atmosphere
(NOT from a ground source) in virtually any environment, including dry
deserts. Our current product line includes fully “off the grid” mobile
water from air generators. This technology is fully scalable (mobile and
stationary), and has been both lab and battle tested over the past several
years, including in the Saudi desert with Saudi Aramco, and in the
aftermath of the Haitian earthquake with the US Government. (The
technology has won both critical acclaim: Wall Street Journal's #1
Environmental Innovation; TIME Magazine's Best Medical Invention, Artemis
Top 50 Water Company, Going Green Top 100 Green Company, and other
international recognition—all with no PR).
The underlying technology is fully scalable and is protected by over 100
patents and patents-pending worldwide. In addition, we have built and
incredible trade secret and know-how base which add additional barriers to
entry.
We have recently engaged Barclays Capital Cleantech Group to assist in
closing strategic transactions for the Company. We are interested in
exploring a strategic relationship with GE that could include any of the
following: (a) strategic partnership in product development,
manufacturing, sales and support; (b) strategic investment; and/or (c)
financing for key Government and commercial sales.
Below is: (A) Aqua Sciences' Overview; (B) Highlights of Recent
Developments; and (C) Attached Materials
AQUA SCIENCES OVERVIEW:
Simply stated, Aqua Sciences generates water from air in nearly any
climate condition, including arid regions in the Middle East, China and
Africa, at a competitive operational cost where no other water source is
available. Unlike other standard refrigeration and dehumidification
approaches which have proven to be fatally flawed, our technology is based
on hygroscopic salts which extract water from air in practically any
environment and also act as a natural antiseptic agent against
bacteriological contamination.
Most recently, in connection with the deployment of Aqua Sciences’ machine
to the largest hospital in Haiti in the immediate aftermath of the Haitian
earthquake in 2010, for drinking, wound cleansing and surgical scrubbing,
Dr. Thomas Kirsch, Director of Johns Hopkins Emergency Medicine Department
and Co-Director of its Disaster Response and Refugee program published
that “[AQUA SCIENCES’ TEAM AND TECHNOLOGY] PROBABLY SAVED MORE LIVES THAN
ANYTHING I DID AS A PHYSICIAN.” PLEASE TAKE 5 MINUTES TO SEE THE FOLLOWING

Our customer and pilot base include, among others:
• US Army (competitive bid and sole source contracts)
• US Department of Homeland Security/FEMA (competitive bid contract)
• State of Texas (sale)
• Saudi Aramco (successful Phase I Pilot invited for Phase II)
• Boeing Corporation (competitive bid)
Recently, with Saudi Aramco, Aqua Sciences successfully met the drinking
water requirements of a 100 person oil rig deployment for 37 days in among
the harshest and driest of desert environments
Co-located with oil rigs, power plants, mills, and other producers of
waste heat, the Company's mobile water production plants can generate
water at a production cost of less than a penny per gallon. In addition,
our mobile water production solutions can utilize any fuel source,
including diesel, solaror wind power, depending on the energy source used
and atmospheric conditions.
Our next phase of products include, among others, planned low cost rooftop
distributed water solutions for the developing world, and solar panel
applications.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Engagement of Barclays Capital
2. Successful Battlefield Validations with US Government in Haiti
Earthquake Aftermath and Saudi Aramco Phase I Pilot.
3 Investment by Prince Turki bin Abdullah al Saud and preparation for
demos to highest levels of Saudi Royal Family and key Saudi Governmental
Agencies (eg, Saudi National Guard, SAGIA, etc.)
4. US Army: Shipment of Pre-production “Gator” unit after 5 years of
competitive bid and sole source development.
5. US Department of Homeland Security Secure Certification
6. Strategic Facility Negotiations with State of Delaware (Governors
Office and Economic Development Office)
I would honored with your assistance in exploring a strategic relationship
between our companies. Of course, please feel free to contact me with any
questions. Best,
Abe
