costs, allowing the Company to move forward with its expansion plans more effectively and timely.
this property is part of our $3 million investment in First Defense to increase the sales value of our
annual production capacity from approximately $18 million to approximately $27 million," commented Michael F. Brigham, President
and CEO. "By moving the final product formulation, filling and assembly for First Defense to the
leased building, we free up ample space in our current facility to increase liquid processing capacity by 100% and freeze drying
property is located nearby to the Company's facility at 56 Evergreen Drive in Portland, Maine. The lease term is ten years
with a right to renew for a second ten-year term and a right of first offer to purchase. The total lease liability over the initial
ten-year term (including inflationary adjustments) aggregates approximately $1.3 million before real estate and personal property
taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and related building and operating expenses.

is bringing the needed resources together very timely to help make our vision a reality."
