MDI, Inc. CEO J. Collier Sparks Delivers 2005 State of the Company Address
Friday September 2, 7:25 pm ET

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 2005--J. Collier Sparks, CEO and President of MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII - News), today released the following State of the Company address reporting the Company's current position, major achievements and future direction.

    On behalf of MDI, Inc., I would like to extend my sincere
gratitude for your continued support of the Company.

    It has been a year since my last public address to our
shareholders, partners, vendors and members of our distribution
channel. Since that presentation, there have been many changes within
MDI. I feel it is the right time for me to provide an update of our
Company's activities over the last year and what lies ahead. I provide
this update with the understanding that there are many significant
challenges that we have yet to overcome.

    Our Vision

    Our overriding vision for the Company is to become a leading
provider of integrated security management solutions and comprehensive
video security products. To fully realize this, we are focused on
building an organization that delivers high-value innovative solutions
for our customers, provides enrichment to our employees and creates
positive returns for our shareholders.

    Profitability -- Our Overriding Goal

    During the first half of this year, the Company implemented
various reforms. These reforms were executed with one goal in mind --
to position the Company for profitability. To do so, several strategic
changes were made in our corporate structure and employee base. By
continuing to properly adjust the size of our work force through
reassignments and "smart-sizing" the organization, the Company has
established a smaller and more efficient team of core employees. The
hard-working and innovative spirits of this team will no doubt
contribute towards our achievements as we move forward into the second
half of 2005 and beyond. I would like to take this opportunity to
thank them for their dedicated efforts.

    State-of-the Art Products

    In addition to our current product offering, SAFEnet, iTRUST,
VIEWpoint and nTEGRITY, we will unveil at the ASIS Show in Orlando
later this month our new Integrated Intelligent Video Solution. I
would like to invite all of you to join us at booth #4043 for a
demonstration on the power of this capability, as it is where much of
our research and development efforts have been focused.

    At the ASIS show, we will demonstrate how our intelligent video
solution performs intelligent analysis that fully automates video
monitoring. The system automatically identifies objects, tracks
objects, analyzes motion, extracts video intelligence and issues real
time alerts via the SAFEnet platform.

    The system also analyzes and mines video data and outputs results
as real-time events, storing them in a database for future review.
Modules include intrusion detection, unaccompanied baggage detection,
asset protection, object detection and tracking, exit-entry direction
monitoring, motion analysis and behavior analysis. I am sure that you
will not be disappointed with its capabilities.

    New Business Initiatives

    UPGRADES TO OUR INSTALLED CUSTOMER BASE -- Because we were not
pleased with our mid-year financial performance, we have made some
major changes in July and August, primarily within our newly formed
Federal Systems Division. With Jim St. Pierre as President of this
division, the team has managed to solidify upgrades from a number of
legacy client locations. This is a significant accomplishment because
these were customers that had a decision to make...either to keep our
systems installed or replace them with the system of a competitor. We
worked hard to correct any problems that existed with our installed
systems and the result was that we were able to upgrade several of our
current systems.

    NEW BUSINESS -- Our team has managed to increase the Company's
business with implementations of our SAFEnet and VIEWpoint integrated
video security solution at a new United States Air Force facility on
the West Coast. This project has resulted in approximately $450,000 in
revenue. As implementations like this one prove successful, we will
use the knowledge gained with each project to increase our penetration
into the commercial and the middle market with similar solutions.

    Recent Accomplishments

    In August, the Company successfully raised approximately $4
million through the sale of common stock to a group of private
investors. This gives the Company cash it needs to further its
business plan. In addition to this, we recently received notice from
Nasdaq in August that we were back in full compliance with the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market Place Rules. With these two issues resolved, we can
devote all our time and efforts on developing the business.

    In order to succeed, our business must be developed through our
Security Dealers and Security Solution Partners. As we do not sell
directly to end users, our dealers are the primary point of focus in
our latest marketing efforts. We have signed 44 new dealers in the
first half of 2005. This is equal to the total number of dealers
signed in all of 2004.

    In July, we announced that we had signed a business agreement with
the PSA Security Network, the largest buying cooperative of its kind
in the world. This network includes over 250 dealers nationwide. We
are dedicated to the PSA network and will invest the necessary
resources and manpower to make this relationship a success.

    A Word About Our Stock

    We care about our shareholders and the ability for them to realize
a fair return on their investment over time. But, we do not, and will
not, operate the Company, or issue "news releases," or otherwise
promote ourselves in a way designed to artificially cause movement in
the price of our stock.

    2005 Summary

    I will now summarize some of our activities and accomplishments
over the first half of 2005.

    (i) Upon completing our review of our mid-year results, it became
apparent that we did not require the level of staffing that we had for
the first half of the year. As a result, we have been able to reduce
our headcount by 25%. As our business increases, we will ramp-up to
meet demand.

    (ii) We successfully launched a new line of video security
products, which we sell under the VIEWpoint brand. This new product
line was developed based on the needs and requirements of our Security
Dealers and their customers.

    (iii) We successfully launched a new mid-level integrated access
control product, which is based on the SAFEnet software platform. This
application, which we branded as iTRUST, is more affordable and easier
to use than our enterprise-level SAFEnet system because it is designed
to handle the access control and monitoring functions for
organizations who need an entry-level system.

    (iv) Our SAFEnet Open System Integration platform was awarded
integrated physical security product of the year by Network Defense
Product News (a Government Security News Publication) at the ISC West
conference in Las Vegas.

    (v) At the same conference, we introduced our nTEGRITY line of
access control readers and biometrics. This line gives our Security
Dealers an affordable package for iTRUST customers while allowing them
to purchase everything they need from one single source, minimizing
order complications and delays.

    (vi) We introduced the Company's first formal software maintenance
packages, complete with tiered pricing levels, focused on streamlining
technical support while increasing revenue.

    (vii) SAFEnet became the first (and only) security product in the
industry to receive NIST certification on its proprietary Advanced
Encryption Algorithm.

    (viii) MDI received UL 1076 and UL 294 certification on SAFEnet in
advance of the new UL Listing requirements.

    (ix) The Company's iTRUST small business solution was awarded
Security Technology of the Year for 2005 by Secure Convergence
Magazine.

    (x) MDI's SAFEnet and VIEWpoint products were chosen to secure
Singapore's National Day Parade.

    (xi) MDI signed an agreement with the PSA Security Network to
offer its iTRUST, VIEWpoint and nTEGRITY products to over 250 PSA
Member Dealers.

    2005 Challenges

    Despite our accomplishments in 2005, there are many challenges in
front of us that we will have to meet head on. These challenges
include:

    (i) REVENUE. Our primary focus is to create new sources of revenue
and to generate new business from our existing customer base. Sounds
basic, doesn't it? Well, it is. The Federal Systems group will manage
our legacy business. Our Enterprise Sales group will manage our
commercial business. Our Small Business group will manage our
middle-market business. We will invest our resources by hiring a new
team of territory sales representatives as part of the Small Business
group. These representatives will target all PSA Dealers and other
middle-market security dealers with our iTRUST, VIEWpoint and nTEGRITY
product brands. The sales cycle for the middle-market products is
weeks, not months. Accordingly, this business should lead to a more
predictable revenue stream as in the Enterprise Business.

    (ii) MARKETING. We are focusing our marketing efforts on
developing new sales and distribution channels. We will continue to
grow our international business by developing established distribution
partners who have the capability and customer relationships in key
countries. Combined programs that include our marketing, outside sales
and inside sales departments working together to deliver valuable
product information to our dealers will assist in gaining dealer
mind-share, which should eventually transfer into market share.

    (iii) CASH. Even though we have just raised approximately $4
million, which is to be used for general operating purposes, we are
continually mindful that we need to invest our cash wisely and to keep
a watchful eye out for unnecessary expenses.

    (iv) PEOPLE. To keep and attract the needed people to run our
Company will be a challenge. Today, we are blessed with a core group
that has endured some tough times over the last year or so, but who
remain committed to seeing our Company succeed. As their President, I
am grateful for their hard work and dedication. I also am mindful that
the cost of replacing people is expensive and time consuming. I
believe that employees are the key to a Company's success and that
they should share in its success.

    Looking to the Future

    Now that we have overcome our short-term cash challenge, and with
our increased focus on sales, I believe that we will be successful in
obtaining significant orders for our products. However, reaching
profitability will not be easy. Let me be specific. Our latest 10-QSB
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, shows revenue for the quarter of
$1.8 million. It also shows operating expenses for that period of $2.7
million. Assuming our costs and margins remain constant, we will
continue to use more cash than we will generate from operations, until
we increase revenues. Therefore, our future efforts will be focused on
generating revenue. Based on the above assumptions, we will need an
additional $900,000 in revenue each month to become profitable.

    To this end, our Federal Systems, Enterprise Sales and Small
Business Sales groups will be the core components in our strategy. We
will invest in our Sales team and give them the products and tools
necessary to deliver the right message, to the right prospects, with
the right frequency.

    In closing, it is my firm belief that the worst times are behind
us and the future looks very bright. I will continue to communicate
with you, our shareholders and partners, as we progress down this
journey together.

    Thank you for your continued support.

    J. Collier Sparks

    President and CEO
    MDI Inc.

Wednesday December 21, 1:31 pm ET 
VerifEye Delivers Real-Time Situational Awareness, Layered Intelligence, Post Event Analysis and Increased Surveillance Efficiencies through Automation


SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 2005--MDI Security Systems, a subsidiary of MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII - News), today announced the availability of their VerifEye IVS automated video data analysis and intelligent object recognition software. VerifEye is available for immediate delivery as a stand-alone software application, as part of the MDI VIEWpoint network video management solution or as an integration module into the MDI SAFEnet Open Systems Integration Platform. It provides automated real-time object tracking and identification, smart motion analysis, video intelligence extraction (from analog or digital streams of live or stored video) and customizable alert reporting when exceptions occur.
VerifEye detects, identifies, recognizes, classifies and tracks objects as they appear into a camera's field of view. It then immediately generates alarms or triggers alerts based on customized events established by the user. Alert information includes, but is not limited to, event type, priority, object type, object ID, color, size, position, speed, location, time, direction and distinct behavior. Flexible output and alerting capabilities include:

Output relay I/O and contact closures
XML and IP messaging
LAN or USB outputs
Email, Pager, PDA or Phone alerts
Output to databases, files or XML formats
External systems integration using IP, XML and ODBC standards
Customizable reporting structure
"The unmatched layered-intelligence capabilities of VerifEye increase the productivity and efficiency of today's video surveillance systems by converting conventional reactive processes into automated, proactive intervention," stated Collier Sparks, President and Chief Executive Officer of MDI, Inc. "Whether implemented on its own, or integrated as a solutions module into the SAFEnet® OSI Platform, VerifEye delivers an immediate return on investment to our client base. It reduces the need for additional security personnel, increases operational efficiencies in retail and business environments (trend spotting) and eliminates false alarms caused by irrelevant events," he added.

VerifEye was designed to make use of the data produced by the camera as it happens and therefore works with a variety of analog, digital and network cameras, including the entire VIEWpoint 20/20 line from MDI. It can accept raw uncompressed video or MPG1, MPG4, MJPG, H263 and AVI formats. The system can be deployed at either the front-edge of the security network with the camera and DVR, or at the backend behind the network or Internet.

The standard VerifEye IVS package offers the following features and capabilities:

People and Vehicle Tracking

High-Tech Filters that Exclude Natural Background and Irrelevant Objects
Advanced intelligent add-on options for VerifEye IVS include:

MotionEye - A powerfully superior video motion detector. It is an excellent enhancement option to all Digital Video Recorders, security systems and sensors. MotionEye far outweighs the basic built-in features found in cameras and DVRs.

TrackerEye - A sophisticated technology that automatically tracks objects with Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras and eliminates the manual control process by automatically following and tracking objects. In complex situations, TrackerEye makes intelligent decisions based on threat levels and distances; tracking targets until completely out of the camera's field of view.

IntrusionEye - A state-of-the-art video based solution to anti-tailgating, anti-piggybacking and anti-passback. IntrusionEye directly addresses the long-standing problem of "access bypass" faced by the security industry. It ensures compliance with access control procedures via video verification and can easily be added on to most systems, including MDI's award-winning SAFEnet and iTRUST integrated solutions.

MDI, Inc. Granted U.S. Patent for Storing Video Data
Monday December 26, 8:32 pm ET 
Newly Patented Technology is a Fundamental Change in Storage of Video Data


SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 26, 2005--MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII - News) announced today that it has been granted a new patent for video data storage by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.


MDI has been granted U.S. patent number 6,892,246 entitled "Computer System and Method for Storing Video Data" effectively serving to strengthen the Company's intellectual property portfolio and supporting its strategy of increasing shareholder value through the licensing of patented technology.

Summary of Invention

According to J. Collier Sparks, CEO and President of MDI, Inc., "The patent covers a major development for a method of storing video data in computer memory. Based on this innovative technology, the Company now has a method for storing video data in a mass storage device where once the mass storage device has reached its capacity, the oldest video data is degraded by removing random pixels from the video frame."

Background

Mr. Sparks went on to say that, "This invention solves the problem that software developers and users have had for years in developing processes to store data in the least amount of space required in a mass storage device. While there are numerous compression techniques available, the storage of data using these compression techniques ultimately result in the filling of the available storage space. MDI's invention solves this problem by identifying the oldest video data, removing it from mass storage, degrading the video data and thereby leaving space in the mass storage device to store the most recently received video data."

Company Strategy to Develop the Invention

"MDI now commands revolutionary technology that allows a dramatic increase in the online time of digital storage devices to the longest possible in the industry. Current proprietary hardware and software under development by the Company will allow its customers to control the level of video data compression tailored to their needs based on image resolution instead of hardware capacity," said Sparks.

"In conjunction with our recently announced acquisition of Advanced Security Link, Inc. of Costa Mesa, California, we plan to release a digital storage system in the second quarter of 2006 that is fully integrated with our proprietary SAFEnet® system," said Sparks.

Company Strategy to License Technology

Richard A. Larsen, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company, commented that, "The company believes in the value of creating intellectual property as well as developing the necessary strategies to protect those assets. To that end, we invite all interested parties to contact us should they be interested in practicing any of the claims disclosed in the patent. We are certainly receptive to discussing an immediate license of the patent and the technology disclosed in and protected by it."

For more information please contact Richard A. Larsen, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, MDI, Inc. by phone at 210-582-2664 or by email at [email protected].

MDI, Inc. Completes Acquisition of Advanced Security Link
Friday January 6, 8:30 am ET 
Combined Company to Deliver Cutting Edge and Comprehensive Video Data Capture, Transport, Storage and Maintenance into a Single, Reliable and Scalable Platform

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2006--MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII - News) today announced the completion of its acquisition of Advanced Security Link ("ASL") of Costa Mesa, California.

The combination of MDI and ASL creates one of the world's most innovative remote video transmission and data storage companies bringing together some of the industry's strongest remote video surveillance and digital video recording (DVR) technology. The move accelerates MDI's strategic initiative to advance its line of video products and its SAFEnet® system and provides the company the opportunity to combine its newest patented technology into its security and video data platforms.

ASL Technology

Tim Rohrbach, Vice President - Technology for MDI, explained the benefits to MDI of acquiring the ASL technology. "Over the last year, we have redesigned our video platform to accommodate the upgraded SAFEnet® system to be compatible with industry standard data recording systems and data transport protocols. The Company has used the technology disclosed in its United States Patent No. 6,580,951, entitled 'Communications Distribution Apparatus and Method,' awarded June 17, 2003, to increase the efficiency and reliability of the SAFEnet® network. In the process, the video data capture capabilities of the Company have greatly expanded from even one year ago to be both scalable and affordable. The energy of the Company has been closely focused on video data capture and transmission, but not yet toward large scale data storage and maintenance. By acquiring ASL, we immediately obtained a system that stores, manages and distributes video data across local or enterprise scale networks. Because the ASL DVR utilizes modular plug-ins, our customers will now be able to (i) record transaction data and video simultaneously, (ii) add time and attendance to their DVR, and (iii) scale their system by adding cameras without replacing video capture hardware. This can be done through one simple-to-use interface that connects sites, enterprise wide. In our press release of December 26, we announced the award to MDI of United States Patent No. 6,892,246, entitled 'Computer System and Method for Storing Video Data,' awarded May 10, 2005, which gives the Company control over technology that greatly expands the data storage capacity of a DVR system. Combined with the state of the art DVR systems now made by ASL, the Company will be at the leading edge of video data storage as well as video data capture and transmission," said Mr. Rohrbach.

Financial Impact

"ASL, with an annual revenue run rate of approximately $1.5 million, brings to MDI a technology that is highly complementary to ours. It provides for a long-term source of business opportunity leads and a new revenue stream. Because of this acquisition, which is accretive to MDI's earnings per share, MDI should experience an increase in revenue and improved financial performance for 2006," said J. Collier Sparks, CEO and President of MDI.

"We believe both companies will benefit greatly from our combination with MDI," said Mitchell Phan, President of ASL. "Our employees have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a history over the last 15 years of adapting to new market opportunities. I am confident that ASL's employees will enjoy being a part of the MDI team, as will I."

This week, the Company will begin executing the planned integration of the two companies' operations, networks and customer care organizations to ensure a smooth and immediate value for customers, partners and investors.

Under the terms of the agreement, MDI acquired all of the business assets, customer and distribution base and intellectual property of ASL for a purchase price of 2,000,000 shares of MDI common stock.

About Advanced Security Link

Founded in 1991, Advanced Security Link (ASL) designs and manufactures technologically advanced video transmission and management systems that allow organizations of all sizes to link, network, and control local and remote Video Surveillance Management while integrating energy, cost and safety controls. ASL provides solutions for a targeted base of clients in key verticals which include Universal Bank, Exxon, Circle K, UPS, Hilton, GTE, U.S Postal Service, U.S. Customs, Walgreens, Hallmark, Amtrak and Arizona State University.

MDI Receives $25.3 Million Initial Order for Deployment of Products and Professional Services to Stratis Authority's Learn Safe(TM) Program
Thursday March 1, 6:30 am ET 

Global Systems Solutions Begins Project Involving Multiple School Districts in Southeast United States


SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII - News), the leading provider of Unified Technology(TM) solutions for the security industry today announced that it received on February 28, 2007 an initial Blanket Purchase Order totaling $25.3 million dollars from Stratis Authority for its Learn Safe school safety and security program. The order was based on an initial Scope of Work submitted by MDI and approved by Stratis Authority to provide security products and professional services to multiple school districts located in the Southeast.

The order calls for MDI, Inc. through its Global Systems Solutions, Inc. subsidiary (GSS) to provide turnkey security packages to schools within each district. The products and services include unified access control, video surveillance products, professional services, installation, training and maintenance. The blanket purchase order will be governed by the terms of a Master Service Agreement.

Over the past six months, MDI has assembled a team of industry professionals to manage and perform the tasks required to successfully implement the LearnSafe program for Stratis Authority. The GSS team will manage all aspects of the projects.

Initial project fulfillment orders will begin immediately with peak activity occurring during spring and summer break.

"We are on schedule and ready to deploy the first phase of our Learn Safe solution to multiple security-minded school districts that value the safety and security of their employees, students and parents," said Jack Walser, Vice President of Business Development for Stratis Authority. "The MDI and GSS teams have been a key element in the success of the Learn Safe program to this point and we look forward to working with them as we continue to roll out a number of additional school districts this year."
