Industry: Industrial Equipment and components (Water Technology)

Corporate Overview

Hendrx Corporation (OTCBB: HDRX)

Hendrx is a Nevada corporation, engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing and worldwide distribution of water generation, filtration, ionization, and purification devices.

Their products include Atmospheric Water Generation ("AWG") units, Alkaline Calcium Ionic Water Dispensers, Reverse Osmosis ("RO") devices and RO under sink systems, as well as carbon filtration devices. Hendrx's proven technology is environmentally friendly and provides needed solutions for the global scarcity of uncontaminated drinking water.

Hendrx's AWG units extract and purify drinking water from the air. The Atmospheric Water Generation process that retrieves moisture from the air is practical, accessible, readily available and virtually unlimited for creating safe, secure, potable water that meets or surpasses the highest international standards for water quality.

During the first three months of 2005 Hendrx commenced an expansion initiative for greater capacity and modernization of its manufacturing processes. The purchase of new equipment, a new building addition to their manufacturing facility in China, and the engagement of an industrial design firm, all reflect the Company's efforts to ramp-up production to meet the anticipated demand from the initiation of an aggressive marketing campaign slated to begin during the 4th quarter of 2005 and into the 1st quarter of 2006.

As one of the leading low-cost manufacturers, Hendrx's residential/office AWG units have been successfully distributed under the "ERIVA" brand and other OEM brands over the last three years. On-going R&D have always been the hallmark of Hendrx's technological leadership and will continue to remain an important priority for the Company.

Hendrx has begun a new marketing program for its larger commercial AWG units during 2005. The largest of these AWG units can economically produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day to serve commercial, industrial, military and disaster relief efforts in most regions of the world. The expansion of Hendrx's manufacturing capacity includes a facility designed specifically to manufacture the commercial AWG units. The expanded facility has already produced its first commercial AWG units in the summer of 2005.

Water policies in most nations are failing to protect life's most vital resource. This fact is reflected in growing water scarcity and alarming declines in the health of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. More precious than oil, yet routinely wasted, water is arguably the world's most pressing resource issue. If not today, then tomorrow is fast approaching.

Human development depends on adequate water—a fact that has driven the location of communities, the extent of agriculture, and the shape of industry and transportation for centuries. Because of its central place in our activities, water is also the focus of much engineering activity and investment in the form of dams, canals, pipelines, and irrigation systems. Today, there are more than 45,000 large dams (more than 15 meters high) in the world—most of them built in the last 35 years. This storage capacity represents a 700% increase in the standing stock of water in river systems since 1950.

Not surprisingly, the environmental impact of our water consumption are growing rapidly as well. For example, the enormous increase in the number of dams has fragmented and seriously altered the flow of roughly 60 percent of the world's major river basins. These fragmented rivers carry nearly 90 percent of the water flowing through these major basins. As populations increase and freshwater systems are modified, it becomes increasingly difficult to ensure that there will be enough water for both people and nature. Humans now withdraw about 20% of the base flow of the world's rivers.

However, such global averages fail to portray the details of the world's water situation. Water supplies are unevenly distributed around the globe with some areas containing abundant water and others -- a much more limited supply. For example, arid and semi-arid regions receive only 2% of the world's runoff, even though they occupy roughly 40% of the terrestrial area. New estimates of water scarcity calculated by the World Resources Institute show that some 41% of the world's population live in river basins under "water stress," meaning that per capita water supply is low and the area is subject to frequent water shortages.

Market

Commercially speaking or rather retail facts, may offer HDRX shareholders tremendous upside potential. Bottled water is the fastest growing beverage industry in the world and worth approximately $35 billion annually. Water is the most purchased non-alcoholic beverage in the United States. The U.S. water market generates annual sales of more than $7.7 Billion ($3 billion non-carbonated) and continues to grow at 5% annually. The market is dominated by a small number of large companies. However, many of us know that the industry has been under scrutiny with regard to water quality for some time now.

Consumers are looking for alternative sources of high quality, fresh drinking water. As a consumer or investor, Hendrx's The Rainmaker countertop AWG products alone, may offer a lifetime of health and wealth.

The world’s water crisis has created a significant opportunity for profit.

Hendrx is ready and well positioned to benefit financially with it’s patented and pending patent technologies and Atmospheric Water Generator “AWG” products.

Founded in 1993 to commercialize breakthrough technologies into worldwide markets, Hendrx Corporation is a fully reporting, publicly traded company in the United States on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol HDRX. Hendrx's public stock is also traded in Germany on the Berlin/Frankfurt exchange: WKN # A0D9Q3 (symbol: RTP).

Recognized as a leader in the development, manufacturing and distribution of Atmospheric Water Generators, Hendrx's mission is to manufacture water solutions that bring safe, disease free, clean, affordable water to the world.

Water is the life force of humans and every living organism on our planet. As with the oxygen we breathe, the lack of an available supply of clean pure sources is an unfolding global crisis. The supply of clean drinkable water is now a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. Hendrx is well positioned to assist with the world’s water problems by supplying safe and healthy drinking water without plumbing requirements or other such changes in a given locales infrastructure.

Market Need
- Only 2.5% of all water on earth is fresh water suitable for human consumption of which 70% is locked in glaciers (frozen).
- Pollution and waste is rapidly contaminating the already diminished drinkable water resources.
- Developed nations are seeking solutions for their deteriorating water delivery infrastructure (pipes, etc.).
- Developing nations are seeking to reduce water development costs and improved water supply.
- In the United States groundwater withdrawal is 25% higher than its replenishment rate.

Atmospheric Water Generators
- AWG machines extract moisture from the atmosphere and transform it into pure, healthy, drinking water.
- Atmospheric water is almost always accessible, regardless of geographic location or season.
- Atmospheric water generation is substantially less expensive than bottled water.
- The Company's products require no plumbing, water lines, or pipes and therefore can supply life sustaining water to areas with little or no infrastructure as well as for humanitarian relief efforts.

Critical Facts
The atmosphere holds 3 million trillion gallons of pure distilled water at any given time, regardless of what we may extract. This amount significantly exceeds all of the earth’s known ground water sources for fresh water.

The United Nations recently reported that at least 1.4 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and more than 3 million people die every year from water-related diseases.
