HENDERSON, NV -- Jan. 10, 2005 -- Emergency Filtration Products Inc. (EFP) (OTCBB: EMFP) today announced that it has received confidential and official notification from the United States Department of Defense approving the use of its filter technology for the U.S. military. This notification included specific reference to the company’s protective masks as well as an interest to develop filtration systems for use in tanks, vehicles and shelter (buildings).

The company intends to work closely with the U.S. military and designated manufacturers to further the development of its filter technology, with the objective of including it into a number of products that would be used to protect U.S. military personnel worldwide.

“We are gratified and honored that the U.S. military has deemed our filter technology fit for use to protect U.S. military personnel,” said Douglas K. Beplate, president, EFP. “We will continue to work diligently with the U.S. military, and any manufacturers with whom we are directed to collaborate, to incorporate our filter technology into any applications required by the military.”

Separately, the company announced that it will cancel its Class B Warrants for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of its financing agreement. The agreement allowed the company to effectively cancel the Class B warrants by the validation and acknowledgment, in the form of a letter or statement from the United States Department of Defense, that the company’s products are approved for military use and/or can be used in military applications.
