Citadel Previews New, Comprehensive Desktop Security Product, WinShield/Secure PC, At NECC in Atlantic City Citadel Combines the Most Effective Internet & E-mail Security, Desktop and Application Control, Folder Protection, and Security for Unattended Computers in a Single Product DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 1999-- Citadel Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: CITN - news), a provider of network and desktop security softwarE products, today announced the Beta Release of WinShield/Secure PC, which will be shown at the National Education Computing Conference (NECC) in Atlantic City, NJ and PC Expo in New York City on June 22-24, 1999. Secure PC takes desktop security to a new level by combining advanced security features such as Password Protected Screen Blocker and Automated Logoff for Inactive Computers, Internet and E-mail Control, Application Control, and File/Folder Security with a strong core set of desktop protection tools that prevent end-users from changing system settings, modifying desktop appearances and installing unauthorized software. A network or system administrator in business, government or educational organizations will use Secure PC to assign customized computer privileges to each end-user, no matter which computer they log onto. Secure PC helps reduce end-user support calls and system downtime by preventing access to system settings and preventing accidental or deliberate desktop changes. It helps increase end-user productivity by keeping them focused on tasks and controlling the use of applications such as Internet and email. Secure PC also increases desktop and network security as it prevents unauthorized use of computers when they are left on, unattended. Finally Secure PC prevents installation of unauthorized software which helps organizations keep desktops Y2K and user-license compliant. ''WinShield/Secure PC was developed in response to our customers needs and the growing concern for complete desktop control and security in corporate, government and educational markets,'' says Steven B. Solomon, Citadel CEO and president. ''Management and administrators are looking for a more proactive way to enforce their policies and gain better control of their computing resources. Secure PC fills this need and further helps organizations by reducing their support costs and keeping their users focused on their current task.'' The new tools added to WinShield have very practical applications that solve fundamental security and control problems facing organizations today. For example, Secure PC lets administrators take complete control over which Windows applications the end-user can access, when they can access those applications and the length of time that access will be allowed. Within applications, administrators can even prevent access to certain windows, features and menus providing even more granular control. When applied to the Internet, Secure PC can control when and how long a browser can be used and restrict the downloading or saving of files. Secure PC's Internet and email security can control the web sites accessed, and even filters in-bound and out-bound e-mail and web content to reduce inappropriate transmissions. Organizations struggling to keep end-users from installing unauthorized software can now proactively enforce their policies. Secure PC can be set to prevent the end-user from running setup and InstallShield and control the use of floppy and CD-ROM drives to prevent software installation. This helps keep desktops Y2K compliant and eliminates many support problems caused when users install their own software or unsupported versions of approved software. Secure PC improves overall security by monitoring computer activity. When a system has been inactive for a predefined period of time, Secure PC can launch a screen blocker (that can also lock the keyboard and mouse) to protect the system. Secure PC can also be set to logoff inactive systems at the end of a work day or after a predefined period of inactivity. To protect each system's hard drive, Secure PC provides Folder Protection that allows the administrator to secure entire drives, folders, files, and shortcuts as ''locked'' or ''read-only''. This controls which hard drive files and folders end-users may access and prevents unauthorized renaming, moving, copying, saving or deleting. Secure PC's Folder Protection provides an ''exclusion'' feature that allows administrators to define certain executables such as antivirus, backup and scandisk that may override this security. Pricing and Availability WinShield/Secure PC will be available in both standalone workstation and network versions in the second half of 1999. The workstation version operates under Microsoft Windows 95, 98, and NT workstation. The Network version supports Novell NetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server networks, with Windows 95, 98 and NT clients. Multi-user and site licenses start at $440.00 (SRP) for a ten-user license. A single user license will also be available at a suggested retail price of $79.95. Company Background Citadel Technology, Inc. is a developer and marketer of computer software products including security and management utilities for networks and personal computers. The Company's products are designed to secure and manage personal computers (PCs) and local area networks (LANs) and enable network administrators to more efficiently manage the networks. Company products are designed to reduce client costs, improve accuracy of clients' information, maintain the operation of the network, secure the network from fraud or unauthorized use, and generally enable the administrator to devote more time to improving service to the network rather than focusing on operational details.

NovaMed and IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG Announce Government Guaranteed Funding for New Production Facility in Germany MINNEAPOLIS and DUSSELDORF, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 1999--NovaMed, Inc. (OTCBB.NVMD) and IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG (IKB.GR) announced today an agreement with the state government of North Rhine Westphalia to a financing arrangement consisting of government guaranteed loans and grants totaling DM22,300,000 marks (approximately US$12.7 million) for the purpose of constructing a new production facility in Duisburg, Germany. NovaMed, which manufactures breast implants, disclosed that its product sales in less than the first six months of 1999 have accounted for 75% of the volume of sales made in all of 1998, and this upward sales trend is expected to continue. The increased demand for NovaMed's breast implant products, stems from the success of direct sales and new international distribution arrangements which have necessitated plans to expand production facilities in Europe. Since NovaMed currently manufactures from leased facilities in Germany, the decision was made to apply for government funding guarantees that would enable the Company to construct a new manufacturing facility in Germany that could meet the anticipated demand. Agreement with the Ministry of the Economy for the state of North Rhine Westphalia and the City of Duisburg in conjunction with IKB AG has made this expansion possible. The terms of the financing are to include DM17,408,000 in long term fixed rate government guaranteed loans provided by IKG AG (approximately US$10.2 million) and a non repayable grant of DM4,496,000 (approximately US$2.5 million) provided by the state government of North Rhine Westphalia. The City of Duisburg has set aside 4,000 square meters of land -- to be purchased by the Company at a below market sale price -- that lies within a 25,000 square meter area designated as a technology park. The Company has the further option of purchasing an additional 8,000 square meters of contiguous land for development as the Company grows. The Company anticipates building a 20,000 square foot research & development and manufacturing facility on the site. IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG provides a variety of banking services that focus on promoting small and medium sized business ventures. IKB offers medium and long term credit, as well as other forms of financing. IKB has several offices in Germany, an office in Luxembourg and representative offices in London, Paris and Hong Kong. NovaMed develops, manufactures and markets breast implant products worldwide. The flagship product is the NovaGold(tm) alternative fill breast implant that utilizes a PVP hydrogel filling material which offers certain design characteristics not presently available with other fill materials. The Company currently manufactures and markets its products from facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Monheim, Germany. This release contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve the known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from that which is anticipated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Martin E.
