There is an urgent health threat deadlier than the H1N1 pandemic on the rise, yet few Americans
are aware of it. The threat comes from infections acquired while in the hospital. According to a
recent government study, America’s hospitals aren’t adequately protecting patients from these
potentially deadly infections. A 2009 report by the US Health and Human Services department
found little progress has been made over the past decade in eliminating hospital-acquired
infections and urged Congress to take action.

As many as 98,000 Americans die each year from medical errors and preventable infections are
a major contributor to the problem. Ten years ago, the Institute of Medicine launched a campaign
to stamp out hospital-acquired infections, but the success of their initiatives has been minimal.
The latest report showed three of five major types of hospital-acquired infections have actually
become more prevalent, one showed no progress and only one declined. Bloodstream infections,
which are considered the most serious and potentially fatal, rose 8.0 percent. There was also
a sizable 3.6 percent increase in the incidence of urinary tract infections. While generally
responsive to antibiotics, urinary tract infections increase hospitalization time and costs. Overall,
the incidence of common hospital-acquired infections was up 1.6 percent.

Media coverage of hospital-acquired infections, the swine flu pandemic and antibiotic resistant
superbugs is raising consumer awareness and spurring government agencies and businesses
to take action to safeguard public health. Demand for products that prevent the spread of
airborne illnesses is rising exponentially. The swine flu pandemic created a $7 billion windfall for
vaccine manufacturers, according to the Wall Street Journal, and a bonanza for makers of hand
sanitizers, who experienced a 129% jump in shipments during last year’s flu season.
This heightened awareness is also spreading to the nearly $8 billion annual market for indoor air
quality products. These products improve air quality in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools
and homes by removing airborne pathogens. Scientific studies show poor indoor air quality is
a major reason for the spread of infectious disease. According to the Environmental Protection
Agency, the air inside buildings where people spend 90% of their time now poses a greater threat
than outdoor air.

Most air quality systems use a simple filter (either standard or HEPA) to trap pathogens.
Well-known filter device manufacturers include Pall Corp (NYSE:PLL), Donaldson Company
(NYSE:DCI) and Millipore, which was recently acquired by Merck KGaA. A relative newcomer
to this market, UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT), has developed an innovative new air
purification technology that is more effective than filtering. This technology disinfects indoor air
by deactivating allergens and killing airborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses and mold.
UV Flu Technologies flagship product, the ViraTech UV-400, uses high intensity germicidal UV
radiation inside a killing chamber to trap and destroy harmful microbes. Extensive independent
testing by EPA and FDA certified laboratories confirms UV Flu Technologies system captures and

kills airborne bacteria and viruses at rates exceeding 99.2% on a first pass basis. The technology
is so effective that UV Flu Technologies was able to secure a Class II medical listing enabling it to
market its product as a medical device.

Since introducing its flagship device less than one year ago, UV Flu Technologies has sold
units to multiple sports teams, hospitals, restaurants and other commercial customers. Two
professional hockey teams (including the renowned Boston Bruins) and numerous college
teams have installed ViraTech UV-400 units in their locker rooms. In addition, the company has
installed units at two major hospitals and has units being evaluated by a large nursing home
chain. Hospitality customers such as The Seagate Hotel and Spa in Delray Beach, Florida, the
Boston Harbor Hotel and Boston’s XV Beacon Hotel have installed ViraTech UV-400 units and
one of the nation's largest 5 star hotels is evaluating the unit for its operations. Tests of units
are also underway with one of the largest hotel and restaurant suppliers in the Northeast. In
addition, "Clean Air for Everyone," a non-profit promoting clean air for schools and non-profits
across America recently selected the ViraTech UV-400 as its lead product for national rollout.

UV Flu Technologies plans to expand its product line and distribution capabilities by acquiring
a major US manufacturer of high quality air purification equipment. The company hopes to
complete the merger this year. Included in the agreement is a patented product line, national
distribution network, and installed base of several thousand units across 1,000 unique facilities
nationwide. UVFT President Jack Lennon notes that the expanded product line will make the
company more attractive to large US distributors and improve its visibility in the hospital, hotel
and casino markets. UV Flu Technologies is also expanding its sales channels by adding three
new distributors. The new distributors are Emerald Medical Service, a supplier of medical
equipment serving the Washington, DC area; UV Air, a supplier to government, schools,
and hotels in Massachusetts and Factory-Direct Green, a distributor servicing over 400 hotel
customers in California.
