Company Forecasts $216 to $324 Million in Revenues and $24 to $36 Million in
Gross Profits 

IRVINE, Calif., 2013-04-15 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
 Universal Bioenergy Inc., (OTCMarkets:UBRG), a publicly traded independent
diversified energy company, that markets natural gas, petroleum and coal,
announced its management team for its international coal division are in
negotiations with several companies to arrange the logistics and transportation
for the sales of coal to companies in Asia and Europe. 

The Company and its transportation consultants are negotiating terms and
pricing with several railroad companies to ship the coal from the load-out
facilities at the mines and transport it to the various seaport terminals. It
takes about 104 railroad coal cars to ship 50,000 tons of coal. With an
estimated 200,000 to 300,000 tons of coal sales per month, the Company will
need 416 to 624 coal cars per month to ship the coal. The Company is also
negotiating to secure terminal space at several seaports throughout the
country. The coal will be shipped by rail to the ports and loaded onto the
shipping vessels, then shipped to the final destination overseas. 

Universal's President Vince M. Guest states, 'Our marketing team and
consultants are moving expeditiously to finalize the logistics and
transportation to ship our coal to the foreign markets. Two major factors
influence the sales price of coal. One is the price of coal at the mine, which
includes  the mines operating costs and quality of the coal. The other major
factor is the cost of transporting the coal from the mine to the final point of
use. So it's very important for us to secure the required railroad shipping and
port terminal space to meet the needs of these companies. At an estimated
$90.00 per ton, this could generate an estimated $216 to $324 million in
additional annual revenues and an estimated $24 to $36 million per year in
gross profit. We cannot guarantee an actual valuation, however according to
industry valuation standards using average P/E ratios from Standard & Poor's,
at a multiple of 15 times earnings, a valuation of $360 to $540 million dollars
is an estimate of the potential additional market capitalization value of this
transaction to Universal.'
