E-Z-EM RECEIVES ADDITIONAL ORDER FOR RSDL $8 Million Order is the Largest Single Order for RSDL Received to Date
E-Z-EM, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZEM) today announced that the U.S. Army Space & Missile Defense Command (USASMD) has placed an additional order for the Company’s RSDLTM personal skin decontamination product. The approximately $8 million order is the second such order placed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) since it issued Milestone C approval for the product, and is the largest single order for RSDL the Company has received to date. The Company expects to ship and invoice for the order by April 2008 with resulting revenues recognized as the product is shipped.
Commenting on the announcement, Anthony A. Lombardo, President and CEO of E-Z-EM, said, “We are especially pleased with this order as the DoD has exceeded our original estimate for procurement of RSDL in the government’s 2007 fiscal year. Additionally, we are pleased the DoD placed this follow-on order so quickly after their initial procurement of RSDL in March of 2007. We believe this demonstrates the importance with which the DoD views RSDL and its ability to provide our troops with improved protection against chemical weapons agents.”
About RSDL
RSDL is a patented, broad spectrum skin decontamination product intended to remove or neutralize chemical warfare (CW) agents or T2 toxins from the skin. RSDL was originally developed and patented by Defence Research and Development Canada, an agency within the Canadian Department of National Defence, for use by the Canadian Forces. RSDL has since been adopted by several military services around the world. RSDL is produced by EZEM under a License with Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC). RSDL has since been adopted by several military services around the world.
RSDL received Milestone C approval from the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD), a decision that cleared the way for procurement by the individual service branches of the DoD. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued 510(k) clearance for RSDL in March of 2003. The U.S. DoD began final configuration testing on the product in November of 2003 and authorized the sale of RSDL to first responder organizations in September of 2004. In September 2006, RSDL was awarded Safety Act certification by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which extends certain liability protections to the Company and its suppliers and customers (whether public or private) in the event RSDL is used in response to a terrorist incident.
About E-Z-EM, Inc.

U.S. DEFENSE DEPARTMENT PLACES FIRST FULL-RATE PRODUCTION ORDER FOR E-Z-EM’S RSDL
E-Z-EM, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZEM) today announced that the U.S. Army Space & Missile Defense Command (USASMD) has placed the U.S. Defense Department’s (DoD) first procurement order for the Company’s RSDLTM personal skin decontamination product. The $5.07 million order—for both RSDL and training packets—is the first of what the Company believes will be an ongoing procurement program designed to establish RSDL as the preferred personal skin decontaminant for U.S. war-fighters. Recently, RSDL received Milestone C approval from the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD), a decision that cleared the way for procurement by the individual service branches of the DoD.
RSDL is a patented, broad spectrum skin decontamination product intended to remove or neutralize chemical warfare (CW) agents or T2 toxins from the skin. Originally developed for the Canadian Department of National Defence, RSDL has since been adopted by several military services around the world.
Commenting on the announcement, Timothy G. Henry, Vice President Healthcare Decontamination of E-Z-EM, said, “We are obviously very pleased that the DoD moved so quickly to place this procurement order after issuing Milestone C approval for RSDL and we expect to receive additional orders in the future. It is noteworthy that RSDL is one of the few products to receive Milestone C approval this year.”

E-Z-EM’S RSDL PRODUCT APPROVED FOR PROCUREMENT BY U.S. DEFENSE DEPARTMENT
(March 20, 2007) – E-Z-EM, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZEM) today announced that the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has determined that RSDLTM has satisfied all final configuration testing criteria, and is approved for initial procurements by the individual service branches. The decision, known as Milestone C, clears the way for deployment of RSDL to war-fighters as the DoD’s next generation skin decontaminant for protection against chemical weapons (CW) agents.
RSDL is a patented, broad spectrum skin decontamination product intended to remove or neutralize chemical warfare (CW) agents or T2 toxins from the skin. Originally developed for the Canadian Ministry of Defense, RSDL has since been adopted by several military services around the world. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued 510(k) clearance for RSDL in March of 2003. The U.S. DoD began final configuration testing on the product in November of 2003 and authorized the sale of RSDL to first responder organizations in September of 2004. In September 2006, RSDL was awarded Safety Act certification by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which extends certain liability protections to the Company and its suppliers and customers (whether public or private) in the event RSDL is used in response to a terrorist incident.
Commenting on the announcement, Anthony A. Lombardo, President and CEO of E-Z-EM, said, “Of course, we are extremely pleased that this long-anticipated decision has been made. With receipt of Milestone C approval, RSDL has now been evaluated and approved by three U.S. Government entities, an intense level of scrutiny that we believe speaks to the importance of improving skin decontamination for war-fighters and first responders. RSDL has been shown to deliver this improved capability against CW agents, and we are pleased to now be able to offer the product to our armed service branches.”
