ARSC NEWS!!

BEAVERTON, Ore., Dec 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation
(www.hydrafuelcell.com), a wholly owned subsidiary of American Security
Resources Corporation (OTCBB:ARSC), announced today that testing is in progress
on the fuel cell stack that is the core of the commercial production
HydraStax(R) 5000 fuel cell system.

Jim Twedt, President and CEO of Hydra, said, "Our in-house testing, which is
going very well, precedes third party testing which is the final step to
completing certification with CSA-International."

Twedt continued, "We are also finished with the other major parts of the fuel
cell, our gas control and cooling systems. We continue to make some improvements
in the balance of the plant that will complete the commercial system. This fuel
cell design is a radical departure from our previous PEM based fuel cell
designs. Our lower operating temperatures and other newly integrated features
should yield a significantly longer lifetime for the HydraStax(R) system. Also
the compact size makes this fuel cell stack one of the highest energy density
generators in the world today."
