Notes to editors

Notes about Timestrip Plc

Timestrip plc has developed an inexpensive and versatile technology for
accurately measuring lapsed time. Timestrip's smart labels contain a liquid
which migrates across the label, enabling users of perishable food and other
products to monitor for how long an item has been open or in use. The
technology can be implemented as an external label or can be fully integrated
into products and product packaging.

The Timestrip technology is relevant to a wide range of food and non-food
products which, once opened, should be used or replaced within a recommended
time. Expiry dates feature prominently in the following mass markets, which
Timestrip actively targets:

  * Food Retailing
   
  * Catering and Food Services
   
  * Consumables
   
  * Pharmaceuticals
   
  * Medical Devices
   
  * Cosmetics
   
Timestrip's main route to market is through supply and license agreements with
manufacturers and packaging companies who will integrate Timestrip labels into
their products or packaging.

Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex Inc. is one of the largest North American
manufacturers and marketers of small kitchen, garment care and home health
appliances. The company's corporate headquarters is located in Richmond, VA.
