Current Technology Corporation (the "Company") has shipped an ElectroTrichoGenesis ("ETG") device to Tribis Inc. ("Tribis") of Seoul, Korea. A manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic and medical devices, Tribis conducted extensive market research and determined that in order to achieve meaningful market penetration, full medical approval will be required. Therefore, for the past several months, in concert with the Company, Tribis has been working with the Korean Food and Drug Administration ("KFDA") to obtain the required approval. Tribis believes the final step in the KFDA approval process should be the successful conclusion of an open study (open study, as opposed to the more complex double blind clinical trial). The Company has designed the required protocol, and the study will be conducted by Tribis at its expense, using the ETG provided by Current Technology. Tribis hopes to obtain full KFDA approval early next year.
