About Heliospectra AB

Heliospectra AB (OTCQB: HLSPY, FIRSTNORTH: HELIO) (www.heliospectra.com)
specializes in intelligent lighting technology for plant research and
greenhouse cultivation. The Company’s lighting system provides an
effective and durable technology for cultivating greenhouse and indoor
plants by combining several different groups of versatile light emitting
diodes (LEDs) with optics, remote sensing techniques, and a robust heat
dissipation solution. This proprietary setup gives growers the ability
to control the intensity and wavelengths of the light emitted, creating a
spectrum specifically adjusted to different plant species and growth
stages to better facilitate photosynthesis. The complete,
highly-engineered lamp produces crops that look better, taste better,
and have a longer shelf-life than those grown under HID lamps. The
technology not only reduces energy consumption by up to 50%, but also
helps stimulate growth characteristics and improve plant quality. Other
benefits include reduced light pollution, lower mercury use due to the
avoidance of traditional HID/HPS bulbs, and less HVAC investment and monthly expense requirements.

Heliospectra products are based
on in-depth knowledge in plant physiology and photosynthesis along with a
unique way to utilize modern LED technology. After six years of
development in Sweden, the company has now begun to expand into the
international market. The company has raised more than $ 18 million in
capital and has received more than $2.6 million through academic
scholarships and grants. It has also received numerous awards for its
forward thinking technology. Principal owners: Weland Steel www.welandstal.se, Swedish Industrial Fund www.industrifonden.se, Midroc www.midroc.se, Wood & Hill Investment www.whab.se
