VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (Business Wire) -- Dec. 12, 2003

     Mr. Myeong, President of Meridian Co., Ltd. ("Meridian"
or the "Company") (OTCBB:MRDAF), is pleased to announce that the
Company has opened a new wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Meridian
Medical Inc.
     Mr. Myeong has signed an agreement with Belgium Medical Inc. for
the licensing and distribution rights to North America in order to
increase the Company's global presence. The new office of Meridian
Medical Inc. is located in Vancouver, British Columbia and is in the
process of hiring a national distributor for the United States and
Canada. The Company is excited at the prospect of launching its
products in Canada, due to Meridian's Korean-based office in Los
Angeles, which has been enormously successful in selling the company's
products within the Korean-speaking market.
     With the incorporation of Belgium Medical Inc. it will now be
possible to have North America-wide representation in conjunction with
its U.S. partner to effectively promote its products throughout North
America.
     Meridian is a leading supplier of medical devices to the
integrative medicine industries. Meridian combines Eastern and Western
medicine, modern science and electronics technology to produce state
of the art medical devices.
     Meridian's products successfully cross all boundaries of health
care disciplines and are useful in the practice of orthodox western
medicine, chiropractic, osteopathy, homeopathy, naturopathy and
acupuncture. Meridian is engaged in the research, development, sales
and marketing of 5 exclusive FDA-approved medical devices.
