212.68.137.12:26950 Weekly Activity Report: Marketing Developments, Sales and Advertising: Romania, Australia, Ecuador, United States  

The following is an update on the above areas of activity:

1.   Romania
After several months of bureaucratic delays by the customer, the first shipment for the Ministry of Interior in charge of the police was shipped out several days ago. This is the first shipment of an order for thousands of kits.

In Romania we are at the very advanced stages for orders from the local anti-drug authority.

In addition, we are also currently negotiating, via a local Romanian representative, with the Romanian Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for the Romanian prison authority.
 
2.   Australia and New Zealand
Several days ago we were informed by our local representative that the Australian Customs Service has decided to use our products from now on at all of their customs stations.

The Australian Customs Service conducted a trial of our products for about 10 months at all of their stations. During the trial, they used thousands of kits.

This decision is highly significant for sales in these countries, as the remaining professional authorities were waiting for the results of this trial.

In the coming weeks we expect to begin receiving orders from additional professional offices in Australia as well as in New Zealand.
 
3.   Ecuador
The order for about 15,000 kits is for the Ecuador National Police. While the order has not been submitted yet, we are waiting for the payment schedule, which should be finalized in the near future. 
 
4.   United States
We have made significant progress in trials being conducted by the two large police departments mentioned in previous reports.

The company is eagerly waiting for the successful completion of these trials and the decisions of the police departments. This has the potential not only to open up the American market, but also to open up many other markets around the world.

At the beginning of July, Identa will be opening an office in New York.

The upcoming issue of "Psychology Today" will be running an article on Identa products.
