About MicroCoal(tm) Technologies Inc.

The Company is focused on commercializing its unique, clean-coal upgrading technology known as MicroCoal(tm); a low-cost, patented microwave technology that reduces moisture in coal resulting in an upgraded energy content of coal. This process provides significant financial benefits to coal-fired electrical generating utilities such as: large cost savings from switching to low-rank coal, substantial increases in boiler efficiencies and heat output, improved ash efficiencies and reductions in scrubber costs. Important environmental benefits such as reductions in greenhouse gases (SOx up to 70%, NOx up to 50%, CO2 up to 17%) and mercury can also be derived from implementation of this technology. The Company is currently constructing the first commercial facility in Indonesia with other projects soon to be announced.  The potential transaction value of MicroCoal(tm) installed projects being negotiated or under discussion currently exceeds $200 million.

We seek safe harbor.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

"Slawek Smulewicz"
