We are very pleased to be in partnership with such a respected organization. We believe AIR^™ Defense can be an effective, affordable product for South Koreans looking for choices to protect them from the serious health risks posed by extraordinary air pollution problems.”

Rassas pointed out that the expansion into South Korea represents another important milestone in achieving the Company’s goals. “This is an exciting and significant step forward as we continue to execute our strategic plan for expansion into new markets that represent opportunities for revenue growth and further product adoption. I expect to see further market penetration in South Korea in the months ahead.”
