Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. Announces Acquisition of New Subsidiary and Worldwide Marketing Rights to Serotrim Patented Weight Loss Drink and 'The Serotrim(R) Power Diet'
ORANGE, Calif., Feb 20, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: LDHI) announced today that it has acquired SeroTonin Solutions, Inc. (SSI) from Utek Corporation in a stock-for-stock transaction. SSI was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Utek and is now a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. The agreement includes the transfer of exclusive worldwide marketing licenses for the patented Serotrim(R) Weight Loss Drink and the Serotonin Weight Loss Diet, including license to use the Serotrim(R) trademark and all related names, logos, designs and likenesses, and co-marketing rights to Dr. Judith Wurtman's recently released book, "The Serotonin Power Diet."
SSI recently entered into a license agreement with BackBay Scientific, Inc. for Serotrim(R). Serotrim is a patented pre-meal appetite control drink developed by Dr. Judith Wurtman, a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prudent testing was preformed at the Triad Weight Management Center of McLean Hospital, a teaching hospital associated with the Harvard University Medical School. We believe that the Serotrim(R) Weight Loss Plan works by raising brain serotonin levels and thus increasing one's sense of fullness, which in turn reduces between-meal snacking.
The Serotrim(R) Weight Loss Program and the Serotrim(R) Appetite Control Beverage were developed by Dr. Judith Wurtman and Dr. Richard Wurtman based on research discoveries at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the Triad Weight Management Center of McLean Hospital, a Harvard University teaching hospital. The research done by the Wurtmans discovered that natural foods increase the activity of certain brain chemicals that affect mental alertness, emotional well-being, and physical and psychological hungers. In addition, people following a carbohydrate-rich, low fat, portion-controlled eating plan are less likely to respond to stress, frustration, anxiety, anger and fatigue by overeating. The Serotrim(R) appetite control beverage consists of natural carbohydrates that boost brain serotonin levels quickly and effectively and increase "satiety" or a feeling of fullness. This feeling of fullness makes it easier to control portion sizes and to eliminate the temptation to snack between meals. The Serotrim(R) Weight Loss Program is a twelve-week weight loss plan that utilizes the Serotrim(R) appetite control beverage to supplement a low fat, portion-controlled eating plan. The research behind the diet as well as the plan itself is described in detail in Dr. Wurtman's book, "The Serotonin Power Diet", which was released December 2006 and will also be marketed by SSI.

In response to this announcement Ron Touchard, Chairman and CEO of Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc., stated the following, "We are very enthusiastic about our acquisition of SeroTonin Solutions, Inc. We believe that Serotrim(R) and the Serotrim(R) Weight Loss Program can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of potentially millions of overweight people, and it is our mission to take this revolutionary new product to the market as quickly and as widely as possible.
