LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Power Air Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PWAC) CEO, Remy Kozak, recently reviewed the company's first year accomplishments and developments at the Equities Magazine Transatlantic Conferences in New York and London.

Mr. Kozak stated, "As we approach the one year anniversary of becoming a public company, it is important to take stock of what has been accomplished and what remains ahead of us." Mr. Kozak noted that in the last 12 months the company has reached critical milestones, most notable of which are the following:

    * Power Air entered into a collaboration agreement with Schrader
      Bridgeport International, a division of Tompkins plc, a world-class
      global engineering and manufacturing group. Under the terms of the
      Agreement, Power Air and Schrader will collaborate on the
      specifications, design, alpha and beta prototype build and test, field
      trial program, co-branding, and commercial launch of a cost-effective,
      refuelable backup generator that can operate indoors, safely, silently,
      efficiently, and emissions-free, with extended run capability. The
      generator will utilize PAC's Zinc Air Fuel Cell as the power supply.
      Schrader's strong affiliation with the many Automotive and Industrial
      aftermarket companies like NAPA, Pep Boys, Advance Auto, Home Depot,
      Lowes, and Sears, will be very important when the final product is
      approved and ready to launch.

    * Power Air took steps to broaden its geographical reach and product plans
      into the lucrative Asian markets, by signing a Memorandum of
      Understanding with H-Plus Group to establish a Korean-based joint
      venture company. Initial applications proposed to be developed and
      commercialized by the Joint Venture include Telecom and UPS back up
      power systems. All systems will utilize PAC's Zinc Air Fuel Cell as the
      power supply.

    * Power Air has engaged a team of experienced fuel-cell executives and
      technical staff from companies such as Ballard Power Systems Inc., to
      commercialize the core technology originally developed at and now
      transferred from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL).

    * Power Air is a founding member of the Zinc Energy Storage Technology
      Consortium (ZESTec).  ZESTec includes many of the World's leading Zinc
      producers and suppliers and has a mandate to address the supply and
      recycling of Zinc to end users.

    * Power Air established a Canadian subsidiary and a development and
      demonstration lab at the National Research Council's Institute for Fuel
      Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI) in Canada, a new $20 million fuel cell
      development facility located in Canada.  The subsidiary will be eligible
      for substantial government assistance going forward.

    * Power Air has completed two rounds of private equity financing, raising
      over $4 million in new capital from sophisticated investors who realize
      the commercial potential of its exclusive Zinc Air Fuel Cell (ZAFC)
      technology.

"Through 2007, management will build on these early accomplishments", added Kozak. "Marketing and partnering activities are on track and we look forward to moving our core products through the various stages of development and testing and into pilot production."
