JERUSALEM, Israel, Oct. 14, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Identa Corp. (Pink Sheets:IDTA) --
1. We are pleased to announce that Identa has successfully marketed and begun selling its drug detector kits in Chile. After many months of ongoing work and effort through a local company that was granted a license to sell Identa products, the company has received an initial order for several thousand kits. The order is for Policia de Investigaciones de Santiago, which recently conducted a successful trial of Identa products. Following the successful trial, Identa received its first significant order in from Chile.
The following things should be noted:
A) In 2005 the use of Identa kits will be expanded to all units of the Policia de Investigaciones in Chile.
B) Chances are good that Identa will be able to expand use of the kits to other professional agencies in Chile.
C) Identa has made progress in penetrating its products to the branches of the Chilean military as well as to a small chain of drug stores (approximately 80 stores) and the Chilean Ministry of Education.
2. In the coming weeks we will continue to issue press releases on our marketing successes and sales of our products in various markets, including the United States.
3. With regard to share value (IDTA), given the developments to date, the enormous potential of markets and the sales of kits, we have no doubt that share value will rise.
