Medina is developing and testing a prototype of its first product called the Peroxide Explosives Tester or PET. PET is a small pen like probe, included in a mobile kit for determining the presence of peroxide-based explosives using three chemical solutions and relies on direct contact with the suspicious substance. PET is being designed for rapid, on-site detection of peroxide-based explosives and its main advantages are high sensitivity, high selectivity, fast response, simple operation, small size and cost effectiveness. It is anticipated that PET may be launched in 2006. Safe Harbor Statement This press release contains statements, which may constitute "forward-looking statements".
