e-Smart® and SES Systems Join Forces
Leader in Biometric Smart Cards to Team With Leading Systems Integrators

Washington DC and Singapore, April 26, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- e-Smart® Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ESMT), ("e-Smart®" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a "Teaming Agreement" with SES Systems Pte Ltd., (SES), a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics). SES is a leader in systems integration with a focus on Homeland Security systems, Enterprise solutions and defense C2 applications.

e-Smart® is the exclusive provider for Asia and the US of the Biometric Verification Security System™ ("BVS2™), featuring the Super Smart Card™, which experts believe to be the world's only commercially available smartcard with a full on-card system for biometric ID verification and the Super Smart Passport™, the world's first digital passport that authenticates the passport holder's identity via an on-board fingerprint sensor and biometric matching system wirelessly powered, with no physical connection required.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the parties will cooperate on identifying projects on an international basis to capitalize on the unique biometric and other security technologies and systems developed by e-Smart® and on the strength of SES' track record in producing integration solutions and successful partnerships in the region and around the world. The parties are already in discussions for projects in Singapore and a number of other countries.
Commenting on the "Teaming Agreement," Chang Yew Kong, President of SES said, "We understand how important it is to keep personal identity information secure while using such information to protect information access from security threats, financial theft and fraud. Connecting with e-Smart®'s advanced biometric verification system we will provide the technological advantage that is so necessary in protecting day-to-day transactions and ensuring the safety of property from security threats.

Mary Grace, President and CEO of e-Smart® responded to Mr. Chang's encouraging remarks saying that, "it is such an honor for e-Smart® to have the opportunity to collaborate with such a distinguished organization as SES. The company's accomplishments in Homeland Security and other areas are quite impressive and we anticipate a long, productive and successful relationship with SES."
