Meridian Signs $28,000,000 USD Contract for Supply of Digital Pulse Analyzers to US Federal Government-Affiliated Subcontractor

Meridian Co., Ltd. ("Meridian" or the "Company") (OTC BB:MRDAF.OB), an industry leader in the research/development, manufacturing and sales of integrative medical equipment, announced today that it has entered into a definitive contract (the "Contract") for the sale of Digital Pulse Analyzers (DPAs) to Ohio-based Global Health Authority Inc. ("GHA"), through the Company's exclusive North American distributor, British Columbia, Canada-based Belgium Medical Inc. ("MMI"). The Contract incorporates and expands on the terms of the Letter of Intent referred to in the Company's press release of November 20, 2006.

The Contract anticipates the purchase of DPAs by GHA for use in an extensive cardiovascular testing program to be delivered by GHA to various branches of the US armed services worldwide over the five year term of the Contract. GHA is a privately held company whose principals have a wealth of experience in the use of the DPA as a tool in cardiovascular testing programs. GHA has secured a contract for the supply of cardiovascular testing services to the US military through its business relationship with Armco Development, Inc. ("Armco"), a Tennessee-based, prime contract vendor for the World Wide Federal Supply Schedule Contract with the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs. Based on unit sale projections from GHA and Armco, the Company expects revenues of between $24,800,000 USD and $28,000,000 USD, depending on volume discounting variables. After payment of agency fees to MMI, the Company's portion of total product revenues under the Contract will be approximately 90%, resulting in potential revenues to the Company during the five year term of the Contract of between $22,320,000 USD and $25,200,000 USD.

More About: Digital Pulse Analyzer ("DPA")

The DPA accurately measures the elasticity of small and large arteries and provides health care practitioners with critical information regarding arterial aging. This FDA-approved device is inexpensive, non-invasive, and can provide results in minutes. Accumulating evidence suggests that abnormalities in the pulsatile characteristics of arteries occur early in the disease process associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and can be favorably modified by therapeutic interventions.

The Company feels that use of the DPA can help caregivers reduce cardiovascular disease in their patient populations through early detection and prevention, and ultimately assist to decrease the associated financial costs placed on the health care industry. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the United States with an estimated economic cost of approximately $298 billion.
