 Press Release   21 November 2008

    Armor Designs, Inc.

    ("Armor Designs" or "the Company")

    Armor Designs receives National Institute of Justice certification for Armour Plates

    Armor Designs, Inc., (AIM: ADID, ADIS), the designer and manufacturer of composite armour products targeting numerous sectors, today
announces that it has received US National Institute of Justice ("NIJ") certification for two of its Level 4 armoured plates. These are
significant plate certifications that further broaden the Company's range of personal protection plates and positions Armor Designs to
market these high quality plates for protection against armour piercing rifle rounds.  

    The Company once again used patented Volumetrically Controlled Manufacturing ("VCM") methodology to accelerate the time from concept to
final production. Leveraging previous VCM knowledge gained from successful certification of Level 3 plates and other products, the Level 4
plates, made from a composite of advanced materials, were designed to be one of the lightest in the market with a thickness of less than 1
inch (25 mm).  

    Charles W. Snyder, CEO of Armor Designs, commented: "I am delighted with the continued success of our advanced R & D team, Scorpion
Works. Their ability to apply VCM technology to a wide range of applications and quickly design and prototype new products only goes to
further emphasise the unique skills and abilities of our Company. We look forward to announcing further new products and certifications over
the coming months that will emphasise the power of the VCM methodology, and position the Company for commercial success."

    Notes to Editors
    Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Armor Designs specialises in the research, testing, development and commercialisation of composite armour
products.

    Each of the products being developed by Armor Designs, in whole or in part, is based upon a generic synthetic manufacturing process
called volumetrically controlled manufacturing ("VCM"). The VCM process was originally developed by Dr. James St. Ville and involves the
creation of a computerised model into which can be inputted the specific tolerances and design constraints of a proposed product. The model
then adjusts the composition of the material until the required properties are achieved, through 3D design optimisation. The VCM process
gives Armor Designs the potential to rapidly develop new composite armour products which might consist of various materials, such as metals,
ceramics, resins and/or fibres, which in combination might share the same or better resistance to penetration as existing armour equivalents
but which are, potentially, lighter and more versatile.

    The VCM technology is the subject of several US and international patents and patent applications, which are exclusively licensed to
Armor Designs' subsidiary, Armor Designs LLC, in the field of use of synthetic armour.
