Ex-Archer Daniels Midland Executives to Build Ethanol Leader Alternative Energy Sources, Inc. Completes Initial $12 Million Financing and Merger Jun 20, 2006 9:20:00 AM KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 20 /CNW/ -- Alternative Energy Sources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AENS) today announced the completion of a stock-to-stock merger with Beemer Energy, a privately held Delaware corporation engaged in the development of "green-field" ethanol sites, the conversion of existing industrial facilities to ethanol production and the management of ethanol businesses. Alternative Energy Sources will retain Beemer Energy's senior management team led by CEO Mark A. Beemer and Chief Operating Officer Lee Blank. The merger resulted in Beemer Energy becoming a publicly traded company, and Beemer's management and board of directors have assumed operational control of Alternative Energy.
Concurrent with the closing of the merger, Alternative Energy Sources completed a $12 million private placement financing of common stock and warrants to a group of institutional and accredited investors. Initially targeting a $5 million financing, the private placement was significantly oversubscribed. The net proceeds from the financing will be used for general working capital purposes.
Mark Beemer, the Company's CEO, stated, "This transaction represents the accomplishment of a major objective for the Company, and I am very excited about our growth potential in the ethanol space. We see an exciting and long term future in the production of renewable fuels and Alternative Energy Sources will be helping to meet the significant ethanol demand caused by the shift away from oil energy dependence to a renewable carbohydrate based fuel source. It is our immediate objective to construct several 110 million gallon ethanol plants in the Midwest intending to be a major player in forward consolidation of the industry focusing on 'lowest cost producer status' and major transportation infrastructures to provide a seamless pipeline of ethanol to the end user on any coast."
Beemer and Blank bring extensive management and leadership abilities to Alternative Energy Sources. Both served in executive management positions with agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland Company, the largest producer of ethanol. Through their cumulative thirty-seven year roles they have navigated businesses through three droughts, used extensive hedging and risk management strategies, focused businesses on efficient rail and barge transportation modes, and managed a host of grain elevators and agricultural processing facilities throughout the Midwest. Blank commented, "It is our intent to develop the most comprehensive ethanol manufacturing leadership team including all areas of ethanol sales, Dried Distillers Grains Merchandising (DDG's), coal merchandising, plant operations, and transportation/logistical consolidation."

The Company anticipates the completion of permitting for two corn-based ethanol plants in Iowa by Fall, 2006, which are expected to be in commercial production in 2008.
