"This is an exciting time in our Company's history and indeed, in the story of power for portable devices," said Robert K. Lifton, Chairman and CEO of Medis Technologies. "In the coming weeks we plan to provide well placed individuals throughout the world with the opportunity to enjoy the unique experience of being able to power their devices with a Medis Power Pack -- for the first time to be truly mobile in a mobile world. This is a major step in our program of introducing our Power Pack to potential customers and those who can influence customer response. As previously reported, in September-October we plan to complete Underwriter Laboratory testing and in parallel to undergo testing of our Power Pack by the laboratories of mobile operators and OEMs. Our expectation from all these activities is that we will receive valuable market feedbacks such as preferred colors as well as significant orders from customers. Based on our conversations with potential customers we decided to begin the process of developing two more fully automated lines which we plan to place in Ireland and to be managed by Celestica. This decision was buttressed by the responses our team received on its recent visits to Taiwan, China and Japan.

To all of the recipients of our Power Packs let me say that we look forward to their enjoyment of the experience."
