About SHEP Technologies Inc.

        SHEP Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries design, develop and market proprietary energy technology for application in the global transport sector. The Company's "Stored Hydraulic Energy Propulsion" System (the "SHEP System"), which uses electronics and proprietary hydraulic pump motors, captures the generated kinetic energy that is otherwise lost when brakes are applied in a variety of transport applications, and utilizes the recovered energy for acceleration during the inefficient low-speed acceleration phase. The Company's third generation, electronically controlled hydraulic hybrid is expected to deliver fuel economy and emissions reductions while increasing performance. The following prototype vehicles utilize SHEP hydraulic hybrid systems or proprietary SHEP System components:

• LDV 17-passenger mini bus;
• Ford Motor Company's "HPA" Lincoln Navigator, which demonstrated significant fuel savings under both urban and commercial drive cycles; and
• X-type Jaguar scheduled for rollout during 2004.

The SHEP System and its components are intended to be equally applicable to commercial and passenger vehicles of all sizes and variety, including subways. The Company expects to license its SHEP System to industrial manufacturers, niche transport manufacturers, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive industry.
