NEW YORK, May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TEGR), a natural resource exploration services technology company, announced today that the Company's revenues were $2 million in the first quarter of 2009 with gross profit of $645 thousand and approximately $428 thousand remaining after the cost of revenues and operating expenses excluding non-cash expenses.

"The first quarter was very successful for us. Our plans and initiatives, started in 2008, materialized in this, our first significant quarter in revenues since the beginning of 2007," said Dr. Alexandre Agaian, the Company's President.

Terra Energy & Resource Technologies has been actively pursuing opportunities to acquire innovative exploration technologies, which the Company plans to use in its fee for services business, conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary, Terra Insight Services, Inc., while pursuing natural resource interests. The three prong approach of the business model also includes the Company's participation in joint ventures, from which it would receive carried economic interests, based, in part, on higher projected returns on investments for all participating parties through the use of the Terra technologies suite.

"We had substantial revenues in the first quarter, however, mainly due to accounting treatment of the voluntarily forfeited stock options by our President, we had a non-cash expense of $2,208,172, which in addition to a non-cash deferred compensation expense of $20,598, resulted in us reporting a net loss of approximately $1.8 million," said Dmitry Vilbaum, the Company's CEO. "We are dedicated to advanced exploration technologies, and we plan in 2009 for acquisition of unique prospecting tools with the subsequent creation of a new technology and service center. We believe that innovative exploration methods in today's world of depletion and escalating exploration challenges are the main contributors to success, and our technologies pave the way to it."
