BUGS and Winsted to Collaborate on GaeaCare Future; Companies Join Efforts to Bring Proactive Environmental Protection Technology to Nation Now.

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Robert Brehm, CEO of U.S. Microbics, Inc. (OTCBB:BUGS), said today that he is discussing key strategic business strategy with Mark Ellis, CEO of Winsted Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:WHLI), a Business Development Company (BDC), which recently announced the purchase of 90% of GaeaCare Syndicate Partners, Inc. BUGS subsidiary, Sub-Surface Waste Management (OTCBB:SSWM) is a 10% shareholder of GaeaCare and a contributing technical syndicate partner.

Brehm commented on his discussion with Ellis, "We both believe there could be a significant business opportunity for GaeaCare as a proactive environmental products and services corporation that intends to become a leading environmental cleanup, emergency response and environmental remediation company by the use of new computer systems technology, sensor technology, communications technology, systems concepts and microbial environmental cleanup treatment to serve the Homeland Security and environmental industries. The SSWM engineering and project management expertise coupled with the management resources and governmental agency contacts of WHLI could enable GaeaCare to obtain grants or emergency funding to help mitigate some of the consequences of natural disasters like the hurricanes currently pounding the U.S. coast."

Brehm continued, "I will continue my dialogue with Mark Ellis to determine what course of action would be appropriate for GaeaCare given our common resources, government contacts and strategic abilities. We have spent a lot of time and money in the past creating the business plan and developing strategic partners, and I feel we have both a moral obligation, as environmental stewards, as well as a financial incentive to bring this proactive environmental solution to the nation now rather than later."
