NEW YORK–-Ludlow Capital issues research opinion on Freedom Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC:FDMF), a provider of petroleum remediation solutions, with a near-term valuation price target of $0.04 to $0.06 per share.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

BP Testing – company has been placed in 'stage 3' testing with BP, with potential for upgrading to 'Stage 4' for oil clean-up recovery contracts.
Louisiana Officials – meeting directly with Plaquemines Parish officials to demonstrate oil recovery technology, and potential of local municipal contracts
Project Financing – finalized operational financing, ability to market and fulfill contract orders
Share Structure – currently around 500 million shares issued and outstanding, with 200 million in public float.
Other Projects – working on additional projects in Middle-East, Venezuela, and South Texas
* Market Cap Valuation – current market cap valuation of around $5 million, with projected fair-market valuation of $20 to $30 million.


BP Testing
(Stage 3 Status)

The Company received verification from BP that their KC9000 has been approved for further technical review. Out of thousands of oil spill clean-up technology solutions submitted to BP, Freedom Energy's KC 9000® was one of several hundred escalated to stage 3 for further review. If the technology can be considered as "Feasible, Proven" or "Feasible Not Proven" it will then be escalated to Stage 4 for final review, and open the door for oil spill recovery contract with BP. With political pressure on BP growing from the Obama administration, we anticipate seeing many of these 'stage 3' clean-up solutions fast-tracked to the Gulf, which could position the company in potentially obtaining a contract in the near-future.

Louisiana Officials

The Company plans to meet directly with officials from Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, around June 14th to discuss how their KC9000 technology could aid them in their oil recovery and clean-up efforts. Going directly to local officials and coastal regions may be a smart move on the companies part on closing an initial contract for oil waste recovery. These meetings with local officials could open the door for the company to demonstrate their technology, while at the same time developing network contacts for future remediation contract agreements.

Project Financing

The Company has finalized and obtained equity financing in the range of $720k, which should assist in providing operational cash-flow, and providing funds on fulfilling any new contract orders that may come in. Although a bit dilutive at current share price, the financing still keeps the share structure at around 500 million outstanding, and should now open the door for company to close and fulfill new contract orders.

Valuation Summary

With project financing in place, and Freedom Energy being one of the few companies to be included in BP's 'stage 3' technical program, the prospects of this company closing one of the many sought after oil recovery contracts have increased. Even after the current financing, the company now has around 500 million shares outstanding. If given the potential for them to close a contract with BP, and the current shares outstanding, we feel a 'speculative' fair-valuation for the company to be around $20 to $30 million, or $0.04 to $0.06 per share range.

Verification of first or larger contracts with either BP, or local municipalities in the Gulf Coast region could justify a much higher market valuation.

Risks

As with most equities, dilution of common shares could reduce the value of the company, and thus effect and valuation targets, and price performance. Other risks range from inability to obtain proper financing, decrease of technology, inability to close contracts, and under-performance of revenue expectations. The company is currently traded on the Pink Sheet exchange, and thus has limited public information available for review. Investors are highly encourage to consult with a financial advisors before making and and all investment decisions regarding this security.
