SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - May 16, 2013) - STWA, Inc. (OTCBB: ZERO) ("STWA" or the "Company"), a developer of applied efficiency technology solutions for oil and fuel delivery systems in the multi-billion dollar global energy market, announced today that it has scheduled a road show which includes a series of meetings in London, Geneva and Zurich from May 17th through May 30th, 2013. The meetings are to discuss the Company's AOT™ Technology's applications overseas and increasing STWA's visibility with institutional investment funds. STWA's Chairman and CEO Cecil Bond Kyte, President and CFO Gregg Bigger, and Project Director Bjorn Simundson will be participating in the meetings.
Gregg Bigger, STWA President and CFO, stated, "We have developed interest from European-based international oil pipeline operators. Discussions have advanced to in-depth meetings with entities that are considering implementation of AOT™ Technology to their operations. The overall purpose for this business trip is to meet with these and other energy industry parties in person to discuss details about moving forward. We look forward to face to face meetings to further develop these global opportunities."
"We are taking this opportunity to update our network of direct investors in Europe on recent corporate developments, including our strengthened balance sheet, which produced the best financial statement in the Company's history. We are not looking to fund raise from outside sources. In the past quarter we reported a $6.2 million improvement in our shareholders' equity and cash position that increased by $2.9 million to $4.5 million. These notable financial milestones represent material advancements towards meeting listing requirements for national exchanges," stated Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, Chairman and CEO of STWA. "These items, coupled with the recently announced release of our first commercial AOT™ Midstream unit off of the assembly line, put STWA at a turning point both financially and operationally. We are now increasing our visibility within the investment community, introducing the Company to European institutional investors interested in taking a position in our Company's stock."
