ISCO International and Clarity Communication Systems Close Merger

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL -- 01/04/2008 -- ISCO International, Inc. (AMEX: ISO), a leading provider of radio-frequency management and interference-control systems for the wireless telecommunications industry, and Clarity Communication Systems Inc. ("Clarity"), a private company based in Aurora, IL that sells value-added applications for mobile networks and devices, announced the closing of the merger transaction in which ISCO acquired all of the outstanding shares of Clarity.

"As we stated previously, this move is about product, market and customer synergies that we believe will be greater than the sum of its parts, help us accelerate the development of our complete digital adaptive interference management ('AIM') platform, and begin to address the OEM channels in both infrastructure and handsets," said Ralph Pini, Interim CEO of ISCO. "We thank our shareholders for approving the transaction in last week's special meeting, and look forward to rolling up our sleeves and moving forward as a combined entity. First on the agenda is a presentation of the combined entity to the marketplace, something we've put some effort into during recent weeks, as well as a variety of product and business updates."

"Now that this transaction is closed we can put 100% of the combined company's energy behind launching the combined company's products and services," said Jim Fuentes, Founder and CEO of Clarity and director of ISCO. "Just from the planning stages I can see a clear and immediate benefit to the combination of our sales, marketing and customer support resources."

Aspects of Proposed Merger

ISCO will potentially issue up to an aggregate of 40 million shares of ISCO common stock in exchange for all of Clarity's stock and satisfaction of employee rights and interests. Of the total number of shares, 20 million issued upon closing, 2.5 million would be issuable on each of the first and second anniversary of closing (subject to certain conditions), and 15 million would be performance-based shares, the vesting of which would be subject to the market capitalization of the combined entity reaching certain thresholds in the future. ISCO issued $1.5 million in a new note to one of its lenders in order to repay Clarity's $1.2 million credit line and the $375,000 in seller's closing costs as required under the merger agreement.

Jim Fuentes, a member of ISCO's Board of Directors since 2003, is President, CEO and Founder of Clarity. He entered into an employment agreement with the combined entity in connection with the merger.
