EX-99.1 2 exh99-1_14676.txt PRESS RELEASE - JULY 25, 2006 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ IVOICE SUBSIDIARY SECURES RIGHTS TO LAND FOR COMPANY'S FIRST ANTICIPATED BIODIESEL FACILITY 08:30 EDT Tuesday, July 25, 2006 MATAWAN, N.J. (Business Wire) -- iVoice, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:IVOI), a developer and licensor of proprietary technologies, announced today that iVoice Innovations, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of iVoice, has entered into an Option Agreement to acquire four acres of land in Hanover County, Virginia, approximately 20 miles from Richmond, Virginia, together with all improvements, easements, water rights, mineral rights and other structures for a total cost of $800,000. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter or fourth quarter 2006. The Company plans to use the location as the site of a proposed new biodiesel facility. iVoice recently announced it had authorized a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire the rights to develop biodiesel technology, the fastest growing alternative fuel in America. The Company plans to immediately commence a study to determine the scope and feasibility of the project. Upon completion of the study, engineering, design and permitting issues will be assessed in order to facilitate completion. The facility is also subject to regulatory permitting for use of producing biodiesel at the facility. The Company is currently in discussions with potential partners, who could share in the development costs and provide additional expertise. "We are pleased that we have been able to conclude negotiations on such an ideal location for a new facility," said iVoice Chairman and CEO Jerry Mahoney. "This site is strategically located close to customers who could use our biodiesel technology and ideal for the size of project we contemplate." Biodiesel is a cleaner burning fuel that can be made from domestic renewable resources such as soybean oil. The alternative fuel can be used in any diesel engine with few or no modifications, in pure form or blended with petroleum diesel at any level. Biodiesel significantly reduces emissions while offering similar performance to diesel. Today, about 600 major fleets use biodiesel nationwide. More than 700 retail filling stations make various biodiesel blends available to the public, and 1,600 petroleum distributors carry it nationwide. More information will follow as the company progresses with its plan. About iVoice, Inc. iVoice has determined that the best way to create shareholder value, separate and apart from the operating performance of iVoice, is to implement new business opportunities by distributing shares of spin-offs to the company's shareholders. The common stock distributions are part of a broader strategy relating to the transition of iVoice into a company focused on the development and licensing of proprietary technologies. We also continue to search for potential merger candidates with or without compatible technology and products, which management feels may make financing more appealing to potential investors.
