Meridian shares and options to the value of $250,000 (ex GST) would be issued to SYNERGY during the third quarter
of this financial year, ahead of Meridian’s forthcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) planned to occur before 30 Jun 07

mining assets. The Company looks forward to informing the market when these shares and options have been issued.

New version of Data-inCrypt®’s “online data backup” software released
