VANCOUVER, BC — Smartcool Systems Inc. announced today that the company has signed an exclusive agreement with Lumina Solar Ltd., based in Nicosia, Cyprus, to distribute Smartcool's Energy Savings Module in Cyprus. Lumina Solar will also market Smartcool's ECO3 on a non-exclusive basis. Lumina Solar has agreed to make minimum annual purchases of Smartcool inventory to obtain and retain the exclusive rights for the ESM technology.
 
The Republic of Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean. It is a prosperous country with a diversified economy. It is one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations attracting over 2.4 million visitors per year.

In recent years both industrial and residential users have experienced rapid increases in electricity rates that have raised Cyprus' rates to well over the average cost in the European Union. Residential rates are approximately US$0.20 per kilowatt Hour (kWh) with industrial rates running slightly lower at approximately US$0.18/kWh. As there is no supply of natural gas, Cyprus is currently solely dependent on electricity.

"The island of Cyprus is reliant on electricity and with rapid rate increases there is growing pressure to implement energy efficiency initiatives to reduce costs and maintain control of energy demand," stated Steven Martin, Director, Sales, Smartcool Systems (EMEA) Ltd. "We are very happy with the relationship we have developed with Lumina Solar as they have the experience within the marketplace to represent our line of products from a technical perspective. In addition, they are already looking further afield in order to expose the Smartcool brand to a wider audience in that area of Europe."
 
"We are pleased with the level of financial and technical commitment being made by Lumina Solar to obtain these distribution rights in Cyprus "commented George Burnes, President & CEO of Smartcool Systems, "as these commitments continue to help build the global exploitation of our technology and ensure future revenues for our Company.”
