Business Editors

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2000

US Microbics, Inc. (OTCBB: BUGS), announced today that its subsidiary, Bio-Con Microbes, Inc. (Bio-Con), has acquired the manufacturing equipment, formulas, labels, and products of Acidos Humicos located in Culiacan, Mexico.

The assets will become part of Agricultura Natura S.A. de C.V. (Natura Ag), the Mexico Subsidiary of Bio-Con Microbes run by Rene De Palomares.

Gus Olson, President of Bio-Con, stated, "This acquisition will give Natura Ag a bio-rational fertilizer manufacturing capability. Products produced will include Penox(TM), Fertizone(TM), MicroVita(TM), FertiVita(TM) and other bio-rational fertilizers and biotics. These products will be sold internationally in conjunction with the Bio-Con Bi-Agra(TM) microbial innoculants. Field research has shown that combining these products with Bio-Con's microbes significantly increases plant growth and yields."

Olson further commented, "This facility should also allow us to send concentrate forms of Bio-Con's products manufactured in the US, to the Mexico facility for formulation and bottling, resulting in significant freight cost savings. Also, by completing the formulation work in Mexico and registering the products at a Mexican Federal Government level, we can take advantage of special trade relationships within Latin America. Trade treaties allow many of the Latin American countries to recognize Mexican Labels, minimizing the time and cost associated with re-labeling in each country. Also, in many cases, tariffs and duties are reduced or eliminated for Mexican products."

Bio-Con manufactures and distributes products and application systems that use microbial innoculants and bio-rational fertilizers that restore balance to the soil and result in healthier crops. In addition, the products help growers save money by cutting back fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides while at the same time, reducing their adverse impact on our environment.
