Upon agreed benchmarks, Socius Capital Group will commit
 $10 million in equity capital to fund growth at USA Synthetic Fuel

Cincinnati and New York- January 12, 2011.  USA Synthetic Fuel Corporation of Cincinnati has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Socius CG II, a subsidiary of Socius Capital Group, with offices in New York and Los Angeles, under which Socius would invest up to $10 million in equity capital to fund corporate growth.  The non-binding agreement is based on the company achieving certain benchmarks, including, but not limited to, a NASDAQ listing.

Socius Capital Group (SCG), with a focus on life sciences, energy, natural resources and technology, is well positioned to be an equity growth partner for USA Synthetic Fuel (USASF).  SCG targets transactions in the $5 to $125+ million range and provides growth capital to emerging companies.  USASF believes that additional capital would be available as milestones are achieved and as high growth opportunities call for additional equity capital from an investor that shares the vision of low cost clean energy in America.
