Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc., a subsidiary of UTEK Corporation (AMEX & LSE-AIM: UTK), was acquired by World Energy Solutions, Inc., in a tax-free stock-for-stock exchange. World Energy Solutions, Inc. issued 100,000 unregistered shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to UTEK Corporation in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc. The shares acquired in the exchange are restricted and may only be resold pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

Advanced Alternative Energy, Inc. contains a worldwide exclusive license to a device that can separate water into its component elements of hydrogen and oxygen. Thin metal oxide films have been developed in the laboratory at Florida State University for the purpose of improving the efficiency of water electrolysis. The films have demonstrated the ability to generate both hydrogen and oxygen near their thermodynamic limits, thus potentially allowing for efficiencies above 99%.
