FASC announces sale of KDS equipment in Ireland to open new markets in organics waste processing

Mr. C.L. Kantonen, Chairman of First American Scientific Corp. ("FASC") is pleased to announce an agreement has been signed with Organic Waste Returns Ltd. ("OWR") of Dublin, Ireland for the sale and installation of 2 KDS systems for processing organic food waste.

OWR and FASC have been cooperating since June 2001 in the development of a combined system for the processing of previously unmanageable waste products, specifically food related wastes. Through a series of trials which included product conditioning and KDS equipment refinements, sufficient throughput volumes were finally achieved in January 2002, allowing commercially viable quantities of mixed food related wastes to be processed through the KDS equipment. To complete their project in Ireland, OWR signed agreements for the acquisition of two early model 150 hp KDS units. These units will be upgraded to incorporate current design standards and specifications and will be installed at OWR's waste management facility in the Republic of Ireland for the processing of mixed food related wastes.

OWR has engineered a unique process that combines several existing biological, chemical and mechanical technologies. When installed in series, these technologies, including FASC's KDS technology, can efficiently and cost-effectively process mixed organic waste to produce a stable, nutrient-rich product, which can be used in other processes, or combined with admixtures to create an organic-based specialty fertilizer. OWR currently enjoys access to established markets for organic based products throughout Europe and Australia.

Municipalities and countries around the world now have an effective alternative to land filling their organic wastes with the introduction of the OWR process, utilizing the KDS technology, and can effectively manage their problematic waste streams, while producing value added organic based end products. As new environmental regulations severely impact the disposal of organic wastes, FASC and OWR are strategically positioned to become leaders in waste management systems in the UK and Europe.

"We are extremely excited about the successful adaptation and sale of our KDS equipment to OWR and the new market opportunities this brings to FASC for the future sales in the waste management industry world-wide", commented Brian Nichols, President and CEO for First American Scientific Corp.
