Hassett continued, "Regarding our new Board members, we are humbled to have four distinguished professionals officially join the Board of Directors to help lead our efforts as we commercialize. Their backgrounds are truly impeccable and each of them has a unique set of skills and relationships that are helping the Company move toward commercialization of our technology and the growth we expect in the coming months and quarters." Hassett continued, "Over the past 6 months the Company has invested heavily in tooling, patterns, inventory, demonstration vehicles and allocated a large amount of money and resources to engineering to finalize our three MG lines (MG 30, 55 & 80kVA Mobile Generation products) as well as final tooling for the Drypit Submersible Pump motor for the water and wastewater industries."
The four new Directors are also members of the Company's Board of Advisors. They are: Daniel Ustian, Richard "Dick" Schul, Don Bowman and Chris McKee.

"We are very pleased with the last few month's accomplishments as we have moved well down the road toward commercialization and built out the Company's Board with high profile and extremely well regarded industry professionals who are committed, along with management, to driving the Company and its technology platform to transform a number of markets and drive shareholder value," commented Theodore Banzhaf, Cool Tech's President. "Further, the name change better describes the Company's vision and future. We make a number of technology and product platforms dramatically more efficient and there are many more applications beyond the three verticals that we are currently commercializing. This technology offers the potential for revenue and earnings growth in many industrial markets that we have yet to announce."
As stated above, the Company's shareholders have elected four new Board Members and the Company has begun the process of preparing for an eventual uplisting to one of the major stock markets. These preparations fit requirements by stock exchanges that are laid out in governance regulation including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Further to the name change, the Company changed its name to reflect the true nature of its foundation technology and better lend itself to the myriad technology verticals to which the technology can apply. The foundation of the Cool Tech technology is the removal of heat from rotating equipment more cost effectively and efficiently than technology available today.
