EMFP Emergency Filtration Products Demands Delisting of its Common Stock from Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange

Wednesday, January 12, 2005 15:33 ET

HENDERSON, Nev., Jan 12, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Emergency Filtration Products Inc. (EFP) (OTCBB: EMFP) today announced that it has demanded delisting of the company's common stock from the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange. The company's common stock is currently listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange without the company's prior request, approval or consent. EFP is one of numerous U.S. companies that have been added to the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange without permission. These listings may be part of an effort by stock traders to avoid recently enacted SEC restrictions prohibiting "naked short selling." Such practices may allow for market manipulation by selling non-existent shares of a stock in an effort to force the price down.

Douglas K. Beplate, president, EFP, said, "We believe that this unauthorized listing on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange may have contributed to the unusually high volume and volatility in our share price. We have no interest in having our stock trade on any exchange that may subject EFP's common stock to price manipulation. EFP has authorized only the OTC Bulletin Board to trade our shares, which is required by federal securities laws to have rules and regulations in place to prevent fraudulent and manipulative practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and to protect investors. We want our stock price to reflect only the intrinsic value of our business."

Separately, EFP is advising its shareholders to request delivery of their stock certificates from their brokers in an effort to thwart the naked short selling of stock that the company believes is negatively affecting the price of the stock. The company expects this process will begin to force naked short sellers to "cover" their positions in order to deliver the actual stock certificates to shareholders. A form letter requesting physical delivery of share certificates has been posted to our Web site (http://www.emergencyfiltration.com/formletter.htm) for convenience.

EFP plans to employ additional means of thwarting naked short selling in the coming weeks. Therefore, the company believes it will be advantageous to shareholders to have physical possession of their stock certificates when these activities take place. Shareholders are encouraged to contact their brokers to request their stock certificates immediately, as it could take anywhere from several days to several weeks for the stock certificates to be delivered from the clearing house to the shareholder's broker and ultimately to the shareholder.

EFP has no argument with legal short selling and believes that it can serve a valuable economic purpose. However, naked short selling is illegal in the United States because it can manipulate a share price, usually to the detriment of legitimate shareholders and the company issuing the stock.

Short selling of a stock occurs when someone borrows shares of a company stock and sells them, planning to buy the shares back later at a lower price and return the shares to their rightful owner. "Naked" short selling is selling a stock without the borrowing of actual shares, and never delivering the shares to cover the short position within the days prescribed by the NASD guidelines. This has the effect of creating an artificial supply of stock, thus artificially reducing the price of the stock. Although naked short selling is illegal in the United States, the three-day settlement system run by the National Securities Clearing Corp. (NSCC) does not ensure that shares that are sold in a transaction are ever delivered.

All shareholders should be aware that they are entitled to receive their certificates. The shareholder or their designated broker should hold the certificates as part of a unified effort to thwart naked short selling. Once shareholders have possession of their stock certificates, they would continue to use their brokers for stock purchases and sales and would request the physical delivery of all of their shares. The certificates received by the company's transfer agent for selling by investors would be cancelled and a new certificate for an equal number of shares would be issued in the name of the buyer.

EFP believes it is in the best interest of all shareholders to request their stock certificates. Until there is pressure to deliver the stock certificates, naked short sellers profit on the sale of shares they don't own at 100%. Widespread demand for delivery of stock certificates is expected to increase the demand for the stock as naked short sellers attempt to cover their position -- likely causing a short-term increase in price. Ultimately, once the market is cleansed of naked short sellers, the price of the stock will more accurately reflect only the performance of the company and the systemic factors that affect all stocks over time -- not the actions of market manipulators taking advantage of flaws in the electronic trading system.
