SWAT Security With Advanced Technology (MM)

Security With Advanced Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWAT) and PepperBall Technologies, Inc. ("PTI" or "PepperBall") jointly announced today that the merger of the two companies was approved at shareholder meetings held on September 17, 2008 and the merger was closed on September 19, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2008, by and among SWAT, PepperBall and PTI Acquisition Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWAT), on September 19, 2008 PTI Acquisition Corporation merged with and into PepperBall, with PepperBall surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWAT. As further provided in the Merger Agreement, SWAT is in the process of changing its name to PepperBall Technologies, Inc., and expects to begin trading under the new symbol "PBAL" on the Nasdaq Capital Market beginning after September 26, 2008. Additional details will be forthcoming in press releases and other communications regarding this name change, the trading symbol, the CUSIP number and the process for exchanging stock certificates. The litigation between the two organizations that has been expensive and distracting for both companies is also being dismissed.

PepperBall is the most widely recognized name brand and largest supplier of non-lethal pava-based launchers and projectiles for those launchers and has sold over 16,500 launchers and 15 million projectiles to over 3,000 law enforcement agencies. The newly combined company has five launcher products currently being sold into the marketplace, three of which are very recent introductions that have just begun selling and production ramp-up. Additionally, PepperBall is commencing production of a new small lightweight hand-held product that is designed for personal protection use in the consumer and institutional market and believed to have a very broad potential market. A roll-out of this exciting product is expected to commence over the coming weeks.

Eric Wenaas, President and CEO of PTI, noted, "We are very excited that this merger has been consummated to now allow management of the combined entity to focus on product roll-out, increasing sales and expanding new product penetration and opportunities worldwide, to consumers, law enforcement, private security, corrections and the military. The introduction of our consumer division is forthcoming along with the ability to buy our consumer products over the internet. We encourage you to visit our web site and believe you will find the video footage to be entertaining and the novel products to be of great benefit."
