Currently the screen is being supplied to Chinese National Petroleum Corporation, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, SINOPEC, and Halliburton. Management estimates the PMC screen will increase company revenue approximately $2.5 million in the next 12 months.

GFCI Markets SCUDA Tool

GFCI Acquires KO-VAC Systems

GFCI Increases Production Output

GFCI's installment of a CNC Turning Center and CNC Mill allow Grifco to be highly competitive with its price quotes and delivery schedule. Grifco International has experienced a 500% production increase with the new machinery.

GFCI Establishes Rental Venture in Mexico

The rental service in Mexico should generate approximately $2.5 to $3 Million in revenue for 2005. Grifco looks forward to the continued expansion of its tool division in Mexico; Grifco de Mexico should contribute $5 to $6 Million in annual revenue.

Grifco Field Tests Corrosion Inhibitor Tool in China

The Corrosion Inhibitor Tool (Silver Hawg) performed for one year in the largest oil field in China. The test gives Grifco's agent in China the opportunity to sell approximately one hundred tools by the close of 2004. Sales in China for 2005 will likely double.
