EXHIBIT 1 TO FORM CB 9 July 2004 REVISED OFFER BY ESCALON MEDICAL CORP. ("ESCALON") FOR ALL THE OUTSTANDING SHARE CAPITAL OF DREW SCIENTIFIC GROUP PLC ("DREW") REVISED OFFER UPDATE On 29 June 2004 Atlantic Law, on behalf of Escalon, announced that Escalon was revising its offer to 900,000 New Escalon Shares for all of the issued Drew Shares. The revised Offer Document was posted to Drew shareholders on Friday 2 July 2004. Recommendation of Revised Offer, Waiver of Acceptance Condition and Proposed Dealing Facility Atlantic Law, on behalf of Escalon, announces that it has reached agreement with the Drew Board in the following terms: In exchange for Drew's recommendation of Escalon's revised Offer, to be confirmed by separate announcement of Drew, Escalon agrees that its revised Offer will become unconditional in all respects upon the receipt of valid acceptances in regard of more than 50% of the Drew Shares. Appendix 1 of the revised Offer Document is hereby modified accordingly. If declared unconditional the revised Offer will be kept open for at least 21 days to allow holders of Drew Options to exercise their rights and accept the revised Offer. In addition, and in exchange for such recommendation, Escalon agrees to use best reasonable endeavours to establish a dealing facility through Brewin Dolphin, Drew's UK brokers, to allow for the trading of New Escalon Shares at no greater dealing charges than would normally be incurred for the trading of Drew Shares. Any established dealing facility will be kept open for at least 14 days from receipt by the Drew shareholder(s) of the Escalon consideration shares. Full details of any established dealing facility will be posted to Drew shareholders as soon as possible.
