MONTHLY NEWSLETTER TO START
In a move to keep our Shareholder's better informed
of the latest Corporate Developments taking place here at e-Smart, I have
decided to introduce a web-site "Newsletter" to be known as "News From
the Chairman". This Newsletter will be updated monthly and will be my
attempt to give its readers a fair statement of the Company's activities
as can be revealed without compromising Company business prospects or
regulations that govern public companies. I sincerely hope that in presenting
this newsletter, I will be able to instill the feeling of excitement with
respect to the opportunities that we in the Company all feel about e-Smart
to all of you that are interested in e-Smart's future.
NEW
PRODUCT NEWS
e-Smart is proud to announce that it is planning
to add a revolutionary new electronic passport as part of its security
product offerings. e-Smart has created what it believes to be a tamperproof,
counterfeit proof electronic package that can fit into the inside back
(or front) cover of a passport. This electronic package turns the passport
into a complete biometric system that is near stand alone and can verify
both facial characteristics and fingerprint characteristics in the blink
of an eye. This product, currently known as the "Super Smart Passport"
has been designed to exceed ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization)
guidelines. As with all e-Smart IC based products, e-Smart's Super Smart
Passport is compatible with ISO standards for both communication and
power. e-Smart believes that its Super Smart Passport is superior to
all other e-passports offered by its competitors in that it provides
up to two biometric verifications (facial and fingerprint) in a privacy
protected environment that protects privacy and civil rights. Product
demonstrations are already being made to a select group of appropriate
government agencies in various countries.

MANAGEMENT TEAM IN KOREA
In order to support its recently opened subsidiary
in Seoul, Korea; a team consisting of e-Smart's CTO, CIO and the undersigned
are as of the date hereof, attending meetings in Seoul arranged by our
Korean Office colleagues. These meetings are designed to bring potential
customers and potential partners in Korea up to date with e-Smart's
latest products and to discuss various mutually beneficial business
opportunities. While there can be no assurances, there is every expectation
that one or more agreements will be reached as a result of these meetings
that will cause e-Smart to implement its offerings in one or more locations.
e-Smart's
team has and will visit other countries in the region, including China,
to clarify in person a number of pending contracts that are under discussion
in these countries. And while again there can be no assurances, the
Company is very confident that it will conclude one or more of these
pending contracts with governments and/or major companies in Asia in
the near future.

AT HOME
We continue to relentlessly pursue U.S. Domestic
opportunities. From my base in Washington DC, I am constantly in touch,
directly or indirectly with all relevant parties connected with the
US Government contracts that we are trying to achieve. We have made
proposals to implement the BVS2 system and the Super Smart Card
in the USA that are both beneficial for the US Government and for the
Company. And while again there can be no assurances, we feel confident
that one or more of these proposals will be accepted by one or more
agency of the US government. In addition, the Company has been pursued
by several large international US companies which are both seeking to
obtain and have been awarded large US Government contracts. These companies
are seeking our BVS2 system technologies and Super Smart Cards
in order to fulfill their government contract requirements. We are in
active negotiations with these companies and while we expect a favorable
result in one or more instance, we cannot yet predict the outcome of
such negotiations.
CONCLUSION
Because the time to take advantage of the many
opportunities presented to the Company is immediate, I cannot answer
all of the calls and letters I receive from all of our dear and loyal
Shareholders (and others). It is my sincere hope that this newsletter
will answer some of your questions and concerns. I thank all of our
Shareholders for their continuing support and hope all of us will be
rewarded very soon.
