CLX Investment Company Gains Majority Ownership of Zonda, Incorporated With Purchase of Additional Equity Interest

CLX Investment Company, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXN)
today announced that it has acquired majority ownership of Zonda,
Incorporated, a developer and manufacturer of unique diagnostic tests for
both the medical and non-medical markets, with the purchase of another 5%
of Zonda's issued and outstanding shares. The purchase brings the
company's total equity position in Zonda to 51% and paves the way for Zonda
to become a major focus of the company's operations.
The additional 5% was acquired from one of Zonda's minority shareholders in
exchange for restricted common stock.
Since mid-August 2007, CLX has increased its ownership of Zonda with the
acquisition of an additional 15% of Zonda's issued and outstanding shares,
raising its equity position from 41% to 51%.
CLX and Zonda have entered into an initial agreement in the form of a
letter of intent under which CLX would acquire the remaining issued and
outstanding shares of Zonda. Once the remaining due diligence is complete,
the companies expect to reach a definitive agreement regarding the
acquisition.
Zonda's tests utilize proprietary technology that detects enzymes that are
specific to the target microorganisms. The Zonda medical diagnostic tests
are ideal for the clinical laboratory, point of care, and the
over-the-counter (OTC) markets.
Zonda's intellectual property position in enzymatic detection technology
will give the company a unique position in the clinical diagnostic market
where there is increasing need for simple, reliable, and cost-effective
rapid point of care diagnostic tests. The company's first medical test for
Chlamydia is currently sold throughout Europe under the HandiLab brand and
is expected to launch in the U.S. at the end of the first quarter 2008.
Zonda believes it will compete successfully with all current technologies,
including the "gold standard" nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT)
technology, while offering several enhanced features.

"We are pleased to have purchased the additional 5% necessary for CLX to
become the majority owner of Zonda," said Steven R. Peacock, consultant CEO
of CLX Investment Company. "Zonda is an important cornerstone of our plans
to build value for CLX shareholders, and gaining majority control of the
company is a critical aspect of this strategy. This purchase triggers
several additional events, which we expect to announce in the coming days,
that will help to chart the future course of CLX and its plans for Zonda."
