     Dmatek Ltd: Patent Dispute Settled; Competing Product to be Modified


Dmatek Ltd., the London-listed provider of leading electronic monitoring
technologies, announces the settlement of patent litigation between Pro Tech
Monitoring, Inc. ("Pro Tech") and iSecureTrac Corp. ("iST")



On November 27, 2007, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "
Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to compromise
and settle all claims and disputes related to a lawsuit filed by Pro Tech
against iST in the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Florida. In the case, Pro Tech alleged that iST had infringed on a U.S. patent
held by Pro Tech relating to GPS tracking and monitoring apparatus and systems.
Pro Tech was seeking an injunction and substantial monetary damages from the
Company.



Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Pro Tech has caused the dismissal of its
lawsuit against the iST. In consideration, iST paid Pro Tech $800,000 in cash
upon execution of the Settlement Agreement and has agreed to purchase $600,000
worth of remote alcohol monitoring equipment prior to December 31, 2007. In
addition, iST has agreed to make a modification to its GPS tracking equipment to
eliminate or disable a particular component that was claimed by Pro Tech to
contribute to the infringement of its patent. To the extent this component is
not removed or disabled from iST's equipment within two months, iST will be
subject to royalty payments on unmodified equipment in the field which escalate
over time. The amount of such royalty payments, if any, cannot be estimated at
this time.
