Shareholder Update from the Chairman
June 28, 2010
Dear Shareholders,
In response to numerous requests for a progress report regarding our AsepticSure™ beta testing program, I wish to advise all interested parties that negotiations are well underway with a well known Ontario hospital. Our prototype decontamination system is fully prepared for deployment and subject to a final review for health and safety, full approval to begin beta-testing is soon expected without further delay.
While this review process by the Hospital Health and Safety Committee has taken longer than originally anticipated, this is a standard requirement when new devices are being introduced into a hospital environment. The hospital’s CEO and VP Medical Services have already approved the proposal using words such as “astonishing” and “imperative” to describe the technology.
In other on-going developments, the entire scientific and patent team have been working diligently for weeks now on preparation of a patent filing under the International Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The filing will include both US patent application 61/223,219 titled “Healthcare Facility Disinfecting System” and US patent application 61/295,851 titled “Disinfecting Process and Apparatus.” As of January 14, 2010 142 member states had signed the PCT. A complete list of member countries may be sourced at, www.wipo.int/pct/guide/en/gdvol1/annexes/annexa/ax_a.pdf
Following recent International meetings being held in Canada, at one of which our Dr Michael Shannon made a presentation on the science behind AsepticSure™, the company can assure shareholders that our technology and the science behind it have now been brought into awareness at very high levels of government. Due to the sensitivity of some of the subject matter, shareholders should not expect any further information to be forthcoming for some time in this area.
I hope shareholders understand that progress is being made on many fronts. As specific milestones are met, we will announce them whenever possible.
Yours truly,
Ed
Edwin G. Marshall
Chairman of the Board
Chief Executive Officer
