HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2005--
Emergency Filtration Products Inc. (EFP) (OTCBB: EMFP)
today announced that it has entered into distribution agreements with
nine international distributors operating in the following countries:
Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, South
Korea, Sweden and Thailand. The company is also at an advanced stage
of negotiations to sign additional distributors in a number of other
countries.
The international distributors signed to date have agreed to order
a minimum of 550,000 NanoMasks and 7,250,000 NanoMask filters over the
next two years. The current delivery schedule -- which is based on the
company's production capacity -- calls for approximately 225,000
NanoMasks and 3,000,000 NanoMask filters to be delivered in equal
allotments over the course of 2006. In 2007, deliveries to these
distributors are currently scheduled to reach 325,000 NanoMasks and
4,250,000 NanoMask filters. Following the delivery plan for 2006,
deliveries are currently scheduled to be made in equal numbers over
the course of the year. These schedules could be either accelerated
and/or increased should EFP's production capabilities permit and at
the distributors' requests.
"We are well under way to getting our Nogales plant operational in
the near future, a development which has enabled us to sign a number
of distributors in some important international markets," said Douglas
K. Beplate, president and CEO, EFP. "The task before us is to rapidly
ramp up production to meet demand for our NanoMask and NanoMask
filters, which continues to increase. Towards that end, we regard the
Nogales plant to be crucial to the future success of our company. We
intend to not only manufacture NanoMasks and NanoMask filters in
Nogales, but to also manufacture some, if not all of our other
products there as well."
Beplate went on to say, "Our Henderson plant will remain
operational as well, although it may be expanded to accommodate a
fulfillment and distribution center to better serve our customers.
Once our Nogales plant is up and running, we plan to concentrate on
winning new business from some large national and international
companies who have expressed an interest in our products."
About the NanoMask
EFP's 2H Nano-Enhanced Environmental Mask, the NanoMask, relies on

a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic filters able to capture
and isolate bacterial and viral microorganisms with efficiencies of
99.9%. The environmental mask utilizes the company's patented 2H
Technology(TM) and nanotechnology to enhance the capture-and-isolation
characteristics of the filter media.
