"During the first half of the year we made tremendous progress strengthening our distribution pipeline and reinforcing our financial position in the market. We continued to focus on building market awareness for our ValiMed system by attending the Amerinet Niche Technology and Supplier Fair. We shipped our first Pocket ID2™ devices and signed additional distribution agreements with key channel partners. Recently we attained CE Certification for the ID2 line, gaining clearance for sales and distribution in European Union countries," stated Jeff Brumfield, chairman and chief executive officer of CDEX. "We believe CDEX is well positioned to support increased demand for our ID2 product line and the full launch of the new ValiMed™ G4 Medication Validation System later this year. The G4 will be used as an end-of-line defense to increase patient protection while providing a safety net for the ever increasing problem of narcotics diversion in the clinical and hospital environments. We are very pleased with our progress year to date. Our recent developments coupled with the continued support of our shareholders should allow us to execute business plan and growth strategy for the foreseeable future."
