Energy Updates Research Opinion on American Security Resources, Maintains B- Rating
Last Updated: July 22nd, 2008 -
6:23pm EST
NEW
YORK--March 15, 2008--Ludlow Energy updates research opinion on
American Security Resources Corp. (OTC:
ARSC),
a holding company actively seeking to acquire and develop clean energy
companies and technologies, maintains 'speculative' B- rating.
RESEARCH OPINION
On May
13. 2008, American Security Resources announced that Relion, a company
that had filed suit against ARSC for patent infringement in 2006, has
recently filed a petition to withdraw the infringement suit with the
Federal Court in Portland, Oregon. Ludlow Energy Ventures commented, "The lifting of this patent
infringement lawsuit, and the recently announced $2
million funding facility, may clear Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation in
moving ahead with the production of their HydroStax fuel cell systems.
Final ruling on the lawsuit may be forth coming in the next 30 days."
It
is our understanding that once certification for their
HydraStax systems is received the company could begin installation and
revenue recognition for their product.
The target market and industries for their fuel
cell systems will initially be for providing backup power for
telecommunication facilities, data centers and medical facilities, with an
ultimate goal as a primary or backup power for the individual and
residential market.
In Jan. 2008, the company announced purchase orders amounting to $2.5
million for their HydraStax 5000 Fuel Cell system.
Ludlow Energy is maintaining its 'speculative' B- rating on the company,
with no near-term price target offered.

HYDRASTAX Fuel Cell System
Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation is committed to developing clean,
quiet, alternative energy solutions to conserve the earth's natural
resources, minimize pollution, and protect our wildlife. The Company's current production capacity is around
200 units
per month, with plans to expand and ramp up production capacity as any
new potential contracts are signed.

AMMONIA-HYDROGEN PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
The Company announced it had acquired the exclusive rights to market a
new and cost effective means of producing market grade Hydrogen from
Ammonia, developed by Dr. Botte from the University of Ohio. Dr. Botte has developed a
method for producing hydrogen from ammonia for a fraction of the current
commercial cost. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel source in a wide range of
applications, including transportation and energy production.
Benjamin Schafer, president of
American Hydrogen and CTO of Hydra Fuel Cell, said, "Working with
Ohio and Dr. Botte, we have advanced this technology to a stage where we
are ready to move to commercial applications. Our research indicates that
we should be able to produce hydrogen commercially for significantly less
per kilogram than by current industrial hydrogen production methods. We
expect our first application to be a hydrogen generator for the
HydraStax(R) fuel cells, but ultimately, we want this technology for
economical hydrogen production to be widely distributed so as to unlock
the promise of "The Hydrogen Economy"."
This technology could have the effect of making ARSC a major player in the
production of market grade Hydrogen, and potentially a take over target if
the technology pans out, and receives a US patent.
RISK
FACTORS
Some risk factors that may effect the valuation calculations in this
report are the companies inability to meet fiscal 2008/2009 financial projections, an increase in shares issued and outstanding, decrease in
interest or price/sales ratios of alternative energy stocks, industry
competition, technological advances, decrease in energy prices,
geopolitical events, accounting changes and restatements, and legal
issues.
As of Dec. 31, 2007, the company had 200,000 shares authorized, with
180,784,809 shares issued and outstanding. It is Ludlow Energy's opinion
that the company is running near its limit of shares available to be
offered and will either have to incorporate a reverse split, or an
increase of the shares authorized. There is no indication of intent or
need for a reverse split, and would mostly likely expect an increase in
the shares authorized, which in turn could open the stock to further
dilution.
