Basic Solutions Appoints New Aviation Deicing Expert: Ian Sharkey to Join North American Team

TORONTO, April 20, 2010 - The world's leading provider of deicing solutions to the
aviation industry, Basic Solutions, has expanded its North American team with
the appointment of Pennsylvania-based industry expert, Ian Sharkey as Vice
President US.

Sharkey, 53, who boasts an impressive 37 years of experience
in the aviation industry will be working alongside Basic Solutions' North
American President Kelvin Williamson to build upon recent success in Canada
and Europe. Mr. Sharkey, will continue the Basic Solutions "GEN3" roll out,
offering the world-wide patented 3rd Generation Runway Deicer to airports
across the United States. "GEN3" provides excellent operational performance
while vastly reducing carbon brake decay and wiring oxidation on aeroplanes,
solving a major hurdle for the industry. The non-toxic bio-degradable formula
is now used at airports across the world, including numerous airports coast
to coast in Canada.

Sharkey began his career with the airlines in aircraft
maintenance engineering before getting heavily involved with airport
operations and aircraft deicing for Canadian Airlines International in
Toronto. His achievements later took him to Hudson General Aviation Services
where he was responsible for all deicing and glycol recovery services.
Latterly Mr. Sharkey was Vice President, Operations for Radiant Aviation
Services in Niagara, New York State, where he was instrumental in the sale
and subsequent operation of a multi-million dollar aircraft deicing facility
at JFK International Airport. He is also a long time member of a variety of
industry bodies including the SAE G12 Aircraft Deicing Committees.

Mr. Sharkey said of his new appointment: I am thrilled to be
joining the Basic Solutions team - their work in obtaining the exclusive
patent on the Gen3 formula has been viewed in the industry as a real coup and
I am relishing the opportunity to take this product to market. Improving
operational safety at airports and airline efficiency is something I am
passionate about and I look forward to securing Gen3's usage across the whole
North American continent".

Meanwhile Kelvin Williamson, North American President for
Basic Solutions added: "Our market leading deicing products have penetrated
the North American aviation sector at an incredible pace and Ian's
appointment will be key in helping us address demand. His credentials quite
simply speak for themselves and I am very pleased to have him on board. The
onset of Gen3 means this is an incredible time for the aviation industry and
we will continue to pioneer the safest, most cost effective and
environmentally friendly products for airports to use with complete
confidence."
