The company intends to pursue other legal claims in various jurisdiction against Tectane and its management.

The company has also address the cease trade order by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC), whereby the BCSC claims that the BC Instrument 51-509 applies to the company.

However, the company intends to file a complete disclosure statement on or before July 15, 2009, whereby it will provide details on the all cash purchase offer, its termination, its distribution agreement, its purchase offer as well as file its financial statements.

"This situation is serious and we will not let Tectane get away with such flagrant harmful actions" said Tony Bisante, President of Patriot Energy Corp. "I have also committed to placing my 82,000,000 shares in escrow as a sign of good faith until we can resolve this situation and provide accurate accounts of what has happened" further added Mr. Bisante.

The company also stated that its research and development partners were working on a hydrogen fuel cell, which is both compact and extremely stable and that Patriot Energy was granted the right of first refusal on the marketing of this revolutionary fuel cell. The company expects to release further information on the fuel cell partnership upon the release of its phase 3 testing.
