FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Surna Files Patent for Breakthrough Cannabis Grow-Light Reflector;
Plans “Airstream” New Product Launch in Q4-14

Boulder, Colorado – May      , 2014 – Surna Inc. (OTCQB: SRNA), a company that develops, acquires, produces and sells equipment for the legal marijuana industry with a focus on disruptive technology, today announced it has filed a provisional patent application covering enhancements to its proprietary “Airstream” curved reflectors used in grow lights. The patent covers three of the 14 pieces of intellectual property the Company gained through an acquisition announced March 28.

Surna plans to introduce its “Airstream” reflector in the fourth quarter of 2014 as an integral part of its commercial line of leading-edge cannabis and indoor agriculture equipment. The Airstream is a technological breakthrough designed to enable growers to increase production, ensure uniform growth rates and consistent quality plants, all while conserving energy.

The Airstream provides improved uniform light distribution over plants, with minimal light distribution outside the target area, compared with conventional reflectors. It is designed to enable up to 30 percent more light to hit the plant canopy, compared with some traditional reflectors, and has additional proprietary features that Surna will unveil at launch.

“This week’s patent filing, with several more expected in the weeks and months ahead, reinforces Surna’s position as a leading technology company focused on the legal cannabis and indoor agriculture marketplace,” said Surna Chairman and CEO Tom Bollich. “At commercial scale, we believe the Airstream technology will prove disruptive. It is designed to enable its users to realize a significant increase in yield due to its more efficient light reflective properties. Conversely, it may be used with lower power bulbs to achieve the same production numbers while reducing power consumption as much as 30 percent.

“We are excited for our prototype Airstream reflector beta tests and we anticipate a successful product launch later in 2014. In addition to offering substantial incremental revenue opportunity, the Airstream further positions Surna as the go-to company for competitively priced, high-tech, high-yield commercial cannabis grow technology.”
