Solix Inc. Completes Acquisition of Lytmos Group, LLC

WHIPPANY, N.J., May. 02 /PRNewswire/ --

WHIPPANY, N.J., May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Solix Inc. today announced that it completed its acquisition of Lytmos Group, LLC (Lytmos) as of the close of business on April 30, 2008. Lytmos provides peer review, grants management, and consulting support to government and private sector organizations that sponsor competitive high technology research and development grants.

Solix is the first choice of government for outsourcing complex processes required to administer public programs. The company provides expertise in determining program eligibility, collecting and distributing funds, tracking and monitoring the use of funds, developing and maintaining registries and databases, process design and management, and auditing. The combination creates another way for Solix to continue "assisting government in delivering its promise" by expanding Solix' reach in the area of managing government grant programs.

"We saw in Solix a reflection of the same very high performance standards to which we hold ourselves in meeting the needs of our clients. And we were convinced to join forces with Solix after spending time with a number of Solix employees who impressed us with their tremendous enthusiasm, dedication, and productivity," said Peggy Shults. "We are moving forward with great confidence that we will be able to strengthen our capacity to serve our current and future customers, provide Lytmos employees with better career opportunities, and reward Solix's shareholders for their confidence and investment in our ability to accelerate growth."

"We are really excited about the Lytmos acquisition. They offer complementary services and sell to our customers -- state government agencies," said John C. Parry, Solix President & CEO. "They have a great track record and, like Solix, focus on providing excellent service. We are also really excited about adding Peggy Shults (Lytmos President & CEO) and Mary Bernard (Lytmos VP & COO) to the Solix senior management group. This is a platform for future growth."

Lytmos Group, LLC will now be known as Lytmos Group, Inc. and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Solix Inc. Lytmos will continue to operate from offices in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
