Devices. Handheld Devices has paid Emblaze-VCON US$3,200,000 in cash. Of the
proceeds, Emblaze-VCON has received US$1,623,000, net of payments to the Office
of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry and commissions' payable to
a firm of patent attorneys, which introduced the buyer to Emblaze-VCON, and

recorded in Emblaze-VCON's accounts as a capital gain and will be reflected in
the results of the financial period ended 30 June 2008. The net proceeds will
be used to enhance the working capital of the Company and its subsidiaries.
