Recent News Headlines for CFSG

[July] The company announced that three of its linear heat detectors ("LHD") have passed the Underwriters
Laboratories ("UL") laboratory test and were awarded UL Certifications.

The company’s three products that were tested and certified by UL were its Nonrestorable Fixed-
Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector, Restorable Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector and
Restorable Rate of Rise & Fixed-Temperature Line-Type Heat Detector. These products have many
competitive advantages over similar products of other companies, including its proprietary "Rate of Rise in
Temperature" technology that differentiates temperature rises caused by fire hazards from rises caused by
environmental or non-dangerous sources, superior operating distance and automatic notifications for
maintenance and repairs. The company’s proprietary "Fixed-Temperature" technology allows its LHDs to
"fix" their alarm temperature, so that it is not affected by heated cable length and ambient temperature as in
competing products.

The company’s LHDs have dozens of patents internationally and domestically, CFSG’s LHD products have
influenced the industry standards and its proprietary LHDs have come to be considered as a “must have” in
the iron and steel industry.
