United Companies Reports Positive First Quarter in 2007

FOR RELEASE on May 17, 2007 at 9:30am (Market Open)

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL - United Companies Corporation subsidiary Trebor
Industries, Inc. dba Brownie's Third Lung (OTC BB: UCPJ) reported a
profitable first quarter in 2007.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, net revenues were $879,257 as compared to net revenues of $702,738 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $176,519 or 25.12%. This increase is primarily attributable to several large tankfill projects initiated and completed in the first quarter of 2007. Hookah and public safety sales were slightly down as compared to the first quarter of 2006.

For that same period, cost of net revenues was $585,851 as compared to $436,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $149,171 or 34.16%. Material cost was up for the first quarter of 2007 over the same period in 2006 consistent with the increase in sales volume. The cost of material as a percentage of net revenues was up as a result of the sales mix. While direct labor as a percentage of net revenues for the first quarter of 2007 was consistent with the first quarter of 2006, the dollar amount was higher as a result of additional personnel and significant project-specific overtime.

United Companies Responds to Shareholder Inquiries
 
FOR RELEASE Tuesday, March 21, 2006 at 9:30am
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida

Robert Carmichael, 954-462-5570 x202
United Companies Corporation, (OTCBB: UCPJ):

United Companies has recently received inquiries from multiple sources including several shareholders regarding the mission of the company and the structure of its shares.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. dba Brownie’s Third Lung (Brownie’s), established in 1981, United Companies constantly strives to bring diving to the boating community. Both the company’s hookah diving (www.browniedive.com) and tankfill (www.tankfill.com) systems are constantly evolving to bring innovation and simplicity to diving from vessels of all sizes. A network of hundreds of dealers both in the diving and boating accessory retailers brings the concept of “Diving Made Easy!”™ to the general boating consumer while OEM relationships with several builders introduces the products and concept into boating at the earliest and most fundamental level. The company seeks to expand further into the boating marketplace by pursuing additional dealer and OEM relationships at all product levels.

As of March 21, 2006, United Companies Corporation had 250,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 148,970,677 shares issued resulting in a market cap of approximately $3.7m. The CEO of the company, a Brownie’s employee of 25 years, holds 95,000,000 restricted shares leaving the balance among a few hundred shareholders. The COO holds options for 28,571,429 shares. A stand-by equity distribution agreement (SEDA) in the amount of $5,000,000.00 is available to the company, but to-date remains untouched as management feels the negative impact on what it feels is an undervalued share price would be too great.  The SEDA will expire in July 2006.  In addition to the SEDA, convertible debentures redeemable for stock also exist and are set to expire in April and July 2006.

United Companies Brownie’s Third Lung Experiences Increased Interest in its Nitrox Maker™ System

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, February 28, 2006 at 9:30am
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida / February 27, 2006

United Companies Corporation Subsidiary Trebor Industries Inc. dba Brownie’s Third Lung (OTC BB: UCPJ) is preparing to install another of its Nitrox Maker™ systems on a luxury yacht. In the last year, Brownie’s has experienced increased interest in this onboard Nitrox generation unit as general knowledge about the advantages of diving Nitrox becomes more recognized worldwide. Divers who use Nitrox instead of standard compressed air experience many advantages including reduced post-dive fatigue and reduced risk of decompression sickness when diving conservatively.

Brownie’s Nitrox Maker™ is a modular system, which aids in installation of the unit and makes it relatively easy to operate. To select a gas mixture, the operator simply uses the dials on the unit to choose the desired oxygen percentage for the final mix. The Nitrox Maker™ uses two independent oxygen analyzers to ensure the accuracy of the final mixture. The gas produced can either be used to fill scuba tanks directly or stored in a series of high pressure tanks for future use. All of the components of the Nitrox Maker™ are encased in a King Starboard® cabinet that allows for easy installation and an attractive finish.

Brownie’s custom designs each Nitrox Maker™ to accommodate personal diving needs and the vessel’s available space. Many existing air compressor systems can be upgraded to include a Nitrox Maker™, offering the numerous benefits of diving Nitrox, without the need to invest in a new air compressor. Brownie’s also offers a full line of air compressors systems that can be upgraded to include the Nitrox Maker™.

Brownie’s designs, builds and installs diving solutions from floating recreational hookah diving systems to a full-line of state-of-the-art air compressors and mixed-gas blending stations.

Brownie’s Third Lung Increases High Pressure Unit Sales in 2005
United Companies Corporation, Fort Lauderdale
United Companies Corporation, (OTCBB: UCPJ):
Fort Lauderdale, FL

February 6, 2006

During the 2005 calendar year, United Companies Corporation subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. dba Brownie’s Third Lung (OTC BB: UCPJ) experienced a 15.4% increase in the number of units sold of its high pressure compressor systems in comparison to 2004.

In the 2005 calendar year, much of Brownie’s high pressure system sales shifted from the smaller Yacht Pro™ 35 (YP35) to the larger and more powerful Yacht Pro™ 45 (YP45). The YP45 offers higher performance in the same compact footprint. The additional power of the YP45 allows for more continuous duty and faster tank fills. Both the YP35 and YP45 feature a Digital Frequency Drive designed to slowly “ramp up” to full speed, eliminating the initial draw on the vessel’s electrical system upon startup.

Management of the company attributes the increase in unit sales to several factors, including but not limited to, increased consumer knowledge of the product and OEM program incentives.

United Companies Floating Hookah Sales up in 2005

United Companies Corporation, Fort Lauderdale
United Companies Corporation, (OTCBB: UCPJ):

January 30, 2006

Trebor Industries, Inc. dba Brownie’s Third Lung (OTC BB: UCPJ), a United Companies Corporation subsidiary, saw a 19.4% increase in unit sales of its popular floating dive systems in calendar year 2005 versus calendar year 2004.

Brownie’s Floating Systems provide air to as many as four divers from a compressor that floats on the surface of the water. The “Brownie” gives groups and families the ability to dive together from the same air source, while still offering the freedom for each diver to explore. Brownie’s Floating Systems do not require the bulky equipment necessary for conventional scuba diving, such as tanks and buoyancy compensators. This makes divers more streamlined in the water by reducing the drag caused by equipment.

Using a Brownie’s surface supplied diving system also eliminates the need and cost of air fills. The “Brownie” system’s oil-less compressor provides up to 4 divers with approximately three hours of air on less than one gallon of gas. An entire 3 diver system weighs less and takes up less space than a single set of scuba equipment with two tanks. This significantly reduces deck clutter often caused by diving equipment.

Brownie’s designs, builds and installs diving solutions from floating recreational hookah diving systems to a full-line of state-of-the-art air compressors and mixed-gas blending stations.

United Companies Brownie’s Third Lung Unit Sales Increase

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL.
United Companies Corporation, Fort Lauderdale
Robert Carmichael, 954-462-5570
United Companies Corporation, (OTCBB:UCPJ):

August 24, 2005

From January 1, 2005 through August 15, 2005, United Companies Corporation subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. dba Brownie’s Third Lung has experienced an increase in the number of units sold of its very popular floating hookah diving systems as compared to the same period of both 2003 and 2004. The increases over 2003 and 2004 are 24.17% (2003 vs. 2005) and 7.31% (2004 vs. 2005) respectively.

The “Brownie” floating system provides air to up to four divers simultaneously from a compressor that floats above them on the surface of the water. The advantages this presents over conventional scuba are significant.
The entire family or group remains together, connected by the hoses from the compressor, but with each diver having enough individual hose to explore.

The reduction in weight of the necessary “wearable” gear allows smaller divers, especially children, greater access and mobility.

As well as eliminating the continued costs and logistics for air fills and cylinder maintenance, space requirements on the boat are much less as up to four divers can use the system on multiple dives, eliminating the need for tanks and the space they take up.

Management of the company attributes the increase to several factors including but not limited to increased presence in boating retail centers, dealer program incentives, the inclusion of web-based training with the product and more favorable weather conditions.

United Companies Sales Exceed Management Target

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL.
United Companies Corporation, Fort Lauderdale

United Companies Corporation, (OTCBB:UCPJ):

September 14, 2004

United Company’s Trebor Industries, Inc. (d/b/a Brownie’s Third Lung) exceeded management’s target of a 30% increase in revenues for the eight month period ended August 31, 2004.

This increase is predominantly attributable to revenues related to the custom design, engineering and fabrication services provided to the yachting industry. Brownie’s Third Lung has long been a leader in air and mixed gas delivery systems, specifically serving the diving/yachting market. Plans are currently in the making to expand these offerings to yacht builders, allowing seamless integration of diving systems during the initial builds, and value-added sales for the builders themselves.

Additional revenues were generated through the SeaDoo Scooter distributorship established earlier this year. In August, Brownie’s facility in Fort Lauderdale shipped 90% of its first allotment from SeaDoo within 24 hours of receipt. Additional sales promotions will be announced in September to further promote this new relationship.
