Guardian 8 Receives Favorable Bank Financing

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Jan 22, 2014) - Guardian 8 Corporation, the wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Guardian 8 Holdings, (OTCQB: GRDH) a provider of enhanced non-lethal [ENL] defense devices, announced it has secured a $700,000 revolving line of credit with Cornerstone Bank of Overland Park, KS. Terms of the credit line are considered highly favorable for Guardian 8, which consists of a one year, 6% interest-only loan. The line of credit is secured by product inventory, work in progress, accounts receivable, and a personal guarantee by Guardian 8's CEO, Steve Cochennet.

"With this line of credit, Guardian 8 will have nearly half of its initial 10,000 unit production order for Pro V2 enhanced non-lethal devices pre-paid for 2014 delivery from our manufacturing facility, placing us in an excellent position to turn inventory into bottom-line results," said Cochennet. "This allows us to apply future investment capital towards growth of the company and additional hiring within the revenue generating areas of the company."

Initial sales of the Guardian 8 Pro V2 product line began in the second half of 2013 with test and evaluation units. The Pro V2 received favorable customer comments with its initial deployment and the company began reporting its first revenues. With this new financing and ability to acquire inventory, sales are expected to expand throughout fiscal 2014.
