SAVANNAH, Ga., Mar 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Dimmable energy efficient lighting from PureSpectrum (OTCBB: PSRU) is now available in Puerto Rico through Puerto Rican distributor IN Green Corporation, and PureSpectrum’s products are being presented to large retailers and multiple representatives within the Energy Affairs Administration (EAA) in Puerto Rico to be considered for inclusion in the U.S. territory’s efforts to improve overall energy efficiency through the implementation of energy efficient products and technologies.

Puerto Rico’s energy costs are higher than virtually any state in the U.S. and the U.S. territory was awarded more than $100 million in federal stimulus funding and grants last year to allocate toward improving energy efficiency throughout its municipalities. To incentivize implementing energy efficient products and technologies, the EAA has used funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to develop multiple rebate programs with the Puerto Rican Infrastructure Financing Authority (AFI) such as the Building Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program which offers rebates to commercial, non-profit and governmental entities that engage in recommended energy efficiency upgrades.

IN-Green Corporation (www.in-greenpr.com), which has submitted purchase orders for PureSpectrum’s dimmable Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) and step dimming electronic ballasts, is a distributor serving Puerto Rico by concentrating on offering energy efficient products and technologies to government entities, manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, commercial and residential builders and other commercial and industrial channels in Puerto Rico. The company’s objective is to promote awareness of the urgency of energy conservation while offering a variety of affordable “green energy” products and technologies that complement each other to attain maximum energy savings and contribute to the reduction of energy consumption for Puerto Rico.

According to IN Green president Esteban Llop, PureSpectrum’s products fit ideally into the product categories that Puerto Rican consumers and contractors are eager to identify in order reduce consumption and take advantage of the rebate programs. He said this month he plans to introduce PureSpectrum’s products to multiple large retailers, including Wal Mart and Home Depot, with presences in Puerto Rico and will be submitting PureSpectrum’s products to the EAA to be included in the approved list of resources that can be used as a part of Puerto Rico’s weatherization programs and energy efficiency upgrades funded by ARRA funding.

“Because of our present condition, the demand in Puerto Rico for affordable, energy efficient products and technologies like PureSpectrum’s dimmable lighting is greater than ever before in our history,” Llop said. “We are urgently looking for products that will lower energy consumption, protect the environment and improve our way of living. Since lighting is the largest single consumer of energy, PureSpectrum’s products should be included in the plan to reduce energy consumption. Puerto Rico is a business based economy in which construction and manufacturing play a primary role, and all sectors of the Puerto Rican economy can benefit considerably from energy conserving products like PureSpectrum’s dimmable lighting.”

PureSpectrum Plans to Make Dimmable Linear Fluorescent Fixtures in U.S. with Dimming Ballasts En Route from Chinese Manufacturing Partner

Ballasts will be on display at trade show later this month; fixtures expected to be test marketed and sold during the first quarter
SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan 07, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — PureSpectrum (OTCBB: PSRU) has processed its first order for dimmable electronic ballasts for linear fluorescent fixtures, and the company plans to begin contract manufacturing dimmable linear fluorescent fixtures in the United States later this month when the initial shipment of ballasts arrives from its Chinese manufacturing partner.The company is partnering with an established U.S. lighting manufacturer to build dimmable T8 linear fluorescent fixtures in multiple styles according to market demand. The T8 fixture is rapidly becoming the standard lighting application for commercial and industrial lighting, and the ongoing quest for energy conservation in lighting has made increased energy efficiency for linear fluorescent lighting a top national and global priority.

The step-dimming electronic ballast to be used for PureSpectrum’s linear fluorescent fixtures has gained approval from Underwriters Laboratory (UL), and the company plans to immediately begin offering two-lamp, three-lamp and four-lamp dimmable T8 linear fluorescent fixtures. PureSpectrum has been engaged in ongoing discussions with more than one national distributor expressing interest in carrying the step-dimming ballast. The dimmable ballast will make its debut at an energy forum this month in Spartanburg, S.C., hosted by All Phase Electrical Distributors that will be attended by several major electrical component manufacturers as well as potential end users such as hotel chains, school districts and retail clothing companies.

The purchase order for the step-dimming electronic ballasts was submitted in December, and during the first quarter of 2010 PureSpectrum expects to be able to conduct test marketing to introduce both the dimmable ballast as a standalone product and the fixtures in selected metropolitan areas with multiple electrical distributors. Additionally, the company has begun the process of registering multiple versions of the dimmable fixtures with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the federal government’s clearinghouse for qualified goods and services and a conduit to government retrofit and new construction projects throughout the country.

PureSpectrum anticipates submitting its application to the GSA before the end of the month, and upon approval of PureSpectrum’s dimmable linear fluorescent fixtures, the company will gain access to procurement entities within the federal government as well as large scale federally funded construction projects through being listed in the GSA Advantage! online catalog for approved vendors.

Linear fluorescent lighting continues to be the most prevalent lighting application for the commercial and industrial market, and dimmable fluorescent lighting is considered a gateway to increased energy conservation by allowing commercial and industrial structures to take advantage of green lighting strategies such as daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, peak lighting and other systems which depend on dependable dimming. Lighting industry experts expect the ballast retrofit market for linear fluorescent lighting to exceed $100 billion during the next few years, and the market for cost-effective dimmable electronic ballasts is expected to soar as alternative lighting concepts are proven to be effective for energy management. Concurrently, new construction is expected to increasingly incorporate dimmable fixtures in order to take advantage of energy efficient lighting systems which depend on dimming.

PureSpectrum’s product portfolio currently includes multiple wattage dimmable bare spiral Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL), the three-step dimming ballast and multiple dimmable T8 linear fluorescent fixtures. The company plans to complete development of a continuous dimming ballast for linear fluorescent fixtures in 2010, and, following the completion of product development for the continuous dimming ballast, PureSpectrum expects to be able to augment its product offerings with multiple continuous dimming linear fluorescent products.

“The market for dimmable energy efficient lighting products is in its infancy, but it continues to grow exponentially as it becomes clear that dimming is critical to green lighting strategies,” said PureSpectrum program sales manager David Hill. “PureSpectrum’s dimmable linear fixtures will be some of the only dimmable linear fluorescent fixtures in the entire GSA catalog, and we believe our early entry into this market will provide us with an advantage as we introduce our products and their benefits nationwide. Additionally, being accepted into the GSA schedule will immediately increase the credibility for the quality of our products as we take these products into other markets.”

Novelos Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company commercializing oxidized glutathione-based compounds for the treatment of cancer and hepatitis. NOV-002, the lead compound currently in Phase 3 development for lung cancer under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) and Fast Track, acts together with chemotherapy as a chemopotentiator and a chemoprotectant by regulating redox-sensitive cell signaling pathways. NOV-002 is also in Phase 2 development for early-stage breast cancer and chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer. Novelos has a partnership with Mundipharma to develop and commercialize NOV-002 in Europe and Asia (excluding China). Novelos’ second compound, NOV-205, acts as a hepatoprotective agent with immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties. NOV-205 is in Phase 1b development for chronic hepatitis C non-responders. Both compounds have been partnered with Lee’s Pharm in China.

Novelos’ pipeline of drugs is based on oxidized glutathione, a natural metabolite that is part of the glutathione pathway. This pathway is the primary determinant of intracellular redox (oxidation/reduction) potential, and its role in cell detoxification is well studied and understood. More recently, however, it has been recognized as an important physiological regulator of redox-sensitive cell signaling pathways in multiple cell types. Novelos’ lead products are believed to act, in part, via modification of cellular redox status leading to post-translational modification (glutathionylation) of critical regulatory proteins that mediate disease-relevant processes including tumor invasiveness, immune function and blood cell formation.

NOV-002, the lead compound, acts as a chemopotentiator and a chemoprotectant. NOV-002 was approved in Russia where it is marketed by PharmaBAM under the trade name Glutoxim®. NOV-002 has already been administered to over 10,000 patients, including clinical studies of 390 patients across many tumor types, demonstrating clinical efficacy and excellent safety. In one controlled, randomized Russian Phase 2 trial, NOV-002 in combination with cisplatin-based chemotherapy increased the one-year survival of advanced NSCLC patients from 17% to 63% (p < 0.01) and improved tolerance of chemotherapy (p < 0.01) versus the control. In a controlled, randomized U.S. Phase 2 trial, advanced NSCLC patients treated with NOV-002 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin demonstrated improved objective tumor response (p < 0.05) and improved tolerance of chemotherapy (p < 0.01) versus the control. Novelos finalized a SPA with the FDA (May 2006) for a single pivotal Phase 3 trial in advanced NSCLC in combination with first-line chemotherapy, obtained Fast Track designation in August 2006 and commenced the trial in November 2006. Target enrollment of 840+ patients was reached in March 2008 and trial conclusion is expected early 2010. NOV-002 is also in Phase 2 development to treat early-stage breast cancer and chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer.

NOV-205, a second compound acts as a hepatoprotective agent with immunomodulating and antiinflammatory properties. Novelos’ IND for NOV-205 as mono-therapy for chronic hepatitis C has been accepted by the FDA, and a U.S. Phase 1b trial in patients who previously failed treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin was concluded based on favorable safety profile. Russian clinical studies in hepatitis B and C patients showed that after relatively short treatment periods (1 to 2 months) with NOV-205, viral load was undetectable in a high proportion of patients and serum biochemical markers of liver damage were significantly decreased.

Novelos’ intellectual property is very strong. The intellectual property includes 6 U.S., 2 European and 1 Japanese issued patents. Overall, Novelos has filed more than 30 patent applications worldwide, with coverage including composition of matter, method of use and manufacturing. The breadth of the intellectual property will also allow Novelos to expand its pipeline by claiming and commercializing additional compounds that are based on oxidized glutathione.
