         FORT LEE, NEW JERSEY, NOVEMBER 8, 2002 -- DISTINCTIVE DEVICES, INC.
(OTC BB:DDEV) announced completion of both a one-for-six reverse stock split of
its Common Stock, following a conversion of all of its outstanding Series C
Preferred and Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and a migratory merger
to the State of Delaware from the State of New York. By reason of these
transactions, the Delaware corporation is the successor public company and has
outstanding 7,008,582 shares of Common Stock. Effective November 12, 2002, the
Common Stock will begin trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol DDVS.
Until November 12, the Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol DDEV
on a pre-reverse split basis.

         The shareholders of the New York corporation had authorized the Board
of Directors to effect a reverse stock split, falling within a range of 1-for-4
and 1-for-10, at a ratio to be determined by the Board, approved increases in
the authorized capital stock, approved the Delaware migration by a merger into
Distinctive Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and elected directors. Prior
to effecting the reverse stock split, all of the outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred and Series D Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock,
resulting in the New York corporation having outstanding 42,051,490 shares of
Common Stock. The Board of Directors determined that the split should be at the
one-for-six ratio, thereby reducing the number of outstanding shares to
7,008,582 shares. Upon the effectiveness of the migratory merger, each
outstanding post-split share of the New York corporation was exchanged for one
share of Common Stock of the Delaware corporation. The persons who were elected
directors of the New York corporation serve as the directors of the Delaware
successor.

         The Company's transfer agent, Registrar & Transfer Company, will send
letters of transmittal to stockholders for them to use in exchanging their stock
certificates of the New York corporation for certificates of the Delaware
corporation and reflecting the post-split shares.
