Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. Acquires Assets of XND Technologies, Inc. and Announces New Corporate Structure and DirectionLast update: 12/13/2007 8:30:00 AMORANGE, Calif., Dec 13, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ORANGE, Calif., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LDHG) announced yesterday that it has acquired 100% of the assets of XND Technologies, Inc. (XND), an Arizona corporation, including all of its proprietary formulations, patents and trademarks, and its existing production and distribution systems. XND has been working to produce and distribute a line of nutrient-enhanced bottled water products that contain no calories, no carbohydrates, no colors and most importantly, no flavors other than pure water, and does this using a process that is more efficient and less costly than others currently in use. This concept is unique because no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Now that these agreements are finalized, Liberty will immediately redirect its entire efforts to the premium bottled water industry and bringing to market a full line of nutrient-enhanced water products to compete with currently available products such as VitaminWater and SmartWater. Initial products are expected to include those enhanced to provide vitamin support for general health, a diet formulation for weight watchers, an immune booster, an energy and fitness drink, and others. Liberty is also in the final stages of negotiations for the acquisition of assets for a second water company, and a further announcement regarding that transaction is expected very soon. Liberty acquired the assets of XND in exchange for stock and no cash was involved in the acquisition. As a result of the transaction, controlling interest in Liberty has been passed to the stockholders of XND. Liberty will immediately apply for a name change to reflect its new direction in the bottled water business and Liberty's current officers and board will remain in place until the name change is complete and no later than December 31, 2007. Once the new name is in effect, Mr. Steve Nickolas, the current CEO and President of XND, will be appointed President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and a new Board of Directors will be established. At that time, Mr. Ron Touchard and Dr. Michael Brown, Liberty's current CEO and President, respectively, will step down from their positions as officers and directors of the Company but will remain with the Company in other positions to be announced later. Incoming Chairman, President and CEO Steve Nickolas is a 30-year veteran of the beverage and bottled water industry who has worked as a beverage consultant and in a variety of management positions, including assignments at Anheuser-Busch, Nestles, Whitlock Packaging, Proctor & Gamble and Suntory. Mr. Nickolas opened the first bottled water company in Hawaii in 1980 and by 1990 had developed water companies around the world including Micronesia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, Germany and several in the U.S. He later founded Apani Bottled Water Co., a new bottled water concept using small packaging PET bottles, which he grew to over $35 million in annual sales. He is also the Founder and President/CEO of XND Technologies, Inc. Mr. Nickolas has a B.S. degree in Political Science and Economics from the Claremont Colleges and has completed postgraduate work at Claremont Graduate School and Cal Poly Pomona in Government and Psychology. Commentary In response to this announcement, Ronald C.

All pinks are the same - the only window of opportunity is when they make a run before the dilution. You must get out during the run, and stay away after the run. Before you get in, you must set the exit point with some profit.

Related Quotes Sym. Price Chg. LDHG Trade News 0.0012 -0.0002 Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. Releases Very Favorable Results of Recent Qualitative Research Study of Nu20 Enhanced Bottled Water Products
Dec 17, 2007 08:30:00 (ET)
ORANGE, Calif., Dec 17, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LDHG) has released the results of a recent qualitative research study of its Nu20 enhanced bottled water brand, conducted by Hall and Partners Brand and Communications Research Group. Liberty acquired the rights to Nu20 products and brand as a result of its recent purchase of the assets of XND Technologies, Inc. and plans to begin marketing the products in early 2008.
Fieldwork for the research was conducted in New York City, Los Angeles, and Phoenix with both male and female participants ages 25-49. Results of the study showed a very high level of public interest for a pure tasting nutrient enhanced bottled water product and indicated that Nu20, based on product attributes alone, offers unique and differentiated benefits. Participants connected the Nu20 product with their desire to make good choices for their health and felt that Nu20 provided them both an easy and convenient way to improve their personal health and well-being. They also reacted very favorably to the fact that Nu20 is nutrient enhanced via organically derived natural extracts yet still retains the taste of pure and clear water. This is possible because of a special patented process is used to make Nu20, whereas no other producer adds organic nutrients without also adding masking flavors, colors or sweeteners. Perhaps most important of all from a marketing perspective, Nu20's branding and packaging was perceived as portraying a strong fit with what the product actually is - an infused vitamin/nutrient water product that is pure tasting. The study concluded that Nu20's product attributes coupled with its contemporary packaging is perceived as an organic, innovative, stylish and modern product which lends itself very readily to the highly lucrative target market of adult buyers of premium bottled water products.
