NEWARK, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
BioNeutral Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BONU) a chemical technology-based Life Science
company with novel combinational chemistry, announced today the signing of a
letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire 100% of Orient Arts Inc., a manufacturer of
fibers, textiles and finished goods. Orient Arts Inc. and its affiliate
companies have annual sales of over $10 million.
The acquisition will take place through an issuance of common shares of
BioNeutral Group Inc through its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Bio-Fiber
Treatments Corp., a life science chemical technology company specializing in
unique formulations which can be applied to natural and manmade fibers,
eliminating unwanted chemicals and microorganisms (including the stains they
leave behind); thereby lengthening the life of the fabric/color and increasing
market appeal.
Orient Arts and its affiliate companies manufacture, design and produce finished
goods in Asia. The company has established channels of distribution in the U.S.,
including traditional department stores and direct sales to large commercial
clients, producing nearly 1 million finished garments a year including shirts,
pants and healthcare uniforms. Annual sales are approximately $10 million and
its affiliate companies have licensing agreements with several celebrities.
Stephen J. Browand, President and CEO of BioNeutral Group, Inc. said, "Mahesh
Lala is a seasoned executive in the field and we are fortunate that Mahesh has
agreed to stay on board and continue to run Orient Arts. The company is
interested in applying BioNeutral's proprietary chemical formulations to the
fabric and finished goods presently offered as well as to expand the business of
the company to markets in the broader healthcare field where certain product
characteristics are important. The objective is to develop added value
treatments for fabric, fibers and finished goods for consumers, industry and
those used by healthcare personnel in hospitals, nursing homes,
doctor/dental/veterinary offices, diabetics, home health and wound care, while
controlling the means of production."
James T. Crane, CPA, CFO of BioNeutral Group said "We will make the acquisition
through an issuance of shares in BioNeutral Group Inc. Our Company will
consolidate financial accounts after the acquisition closes in approximately 60
days, subject to our final due diligence. We intend on being active in this
acquisition space."
Mahesh Lala, President of Orient Arts Inc. stated, "I have long wanted to sell
differentiated fabric and garments to the broader healthcare industry and to
have an ongoing means for generating revenue after the initial sale takes place.
Being an existing shareholder of BioNeutral Group, I am excited about the
potential opportunities that may arise from joining with BioNeutral and
incorporating their proprietary chemical formulations which will certainly set
us apart from the rest of the textile and finished goods manufacturing
industry."
