XYBERNAUTÒ RECOGNIZED AS INDUSTRY LEADER

FAIRFAX, VA -- September 22, 2003 -- Xybernaut Corporation (NASDAQ: XYBR) has recently attracted attention from several high-profile industry research firms and news outlets including CNN, Network World Magazine, IDC, CNBC, CBS MarketWatch, Government Technology, InfoWorld Magazine and others. Coverage was primarily related to the Company's potential and the outlook for mobile/wearable computing technologies in various market sectors.
WHEN/WHERE: Selected samples of recent coverage include the following (in bibliographic format):
· September 19, 2003, IDC (International Data Corporation) -- research firm, Richard Dean, "Are Xybernaut's Wearable Computing Technologies and Services Finally Gaining Acceptance," Market Trend Report.
xybernaut.com
Excerpt: "Wearable computing technologies have long been recognized as a futuristic concept with a somewhat limited application beyond the retail and transportation industries. However, that belief could be changing, as one pioneering vendor, Xybernaut, continues to help shape the adoption curve of this emerging marketplace with a focus on migrating the wearable computing and communications concept from selected applications to more mainstream acceptance. This IDC Flash discusses the significance of Xybernaut's recent contract with the U.S. Department of Defense and how the related services opportunity plays a prominent role in annuity revenue creation."
· September 18, 2003, Network World Magazine, Keith Shaw, "Cool Tools: A Real Working Tablet," online article.

Excerpt: " The Xybernaut demo was impressive. The guy comes out on stage with their new Xybernaut Atigo T … and proceeds to drop it several times to show how rugged the device is. The device seems to fit the space between smaller handheld devices and larger, bulkier Tablet PCs. With Xybernaut's focus on vertical industries, I think that many, many people will be excited about this product."
· August/September 2003, Government Technology Magazine, Todd Newcombe, " Query Your Clothes; First Responders Try on Wearable Computers," -- news article.
govtech.net
Excerpt: " Earlier this year, the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center-Southeast (NLECTC-SE) began a pilot project of wearable computers for first responder public safety and law enforcement agencies in the Charleston, S.C., metropolitan area. NLECTC has a $700,000 contract with Xybernaut Corp., a manufacturer of wearable technology, to provide computers … for first responders."
· September 18, 2003, CNN Money, Paul R. LaMonica, "Shares of Xybernaut, which makes wearable computers, are up 200 percent so far in September. Why?" online article.
money.cnn.com
Excerpt: "Xybernaut shares have soared nearly 200 percent so far this month on extremely heavy trading volume … Now, it's one thing for the likes of Microsoft, Cisco and Oracle to see that kind of volume. Each company has more than 5 billion shares outstanding. Xybernaut has just 159 million, so more than half of the company's shares changed hands Thursday ... it appears that several new contract wins for Xybernaut are behind the stock's rise lately. "
· September 18, 2003, Bloomberg News, Laurie Edwards, "Xybernaut Shares Rise as Defense Orders Announced This Month," online news article.
Excerpt: "Xybernaut Corp. shares have risen almost threefold this month after the company, a maker of small computers that can be worn on a belt or in a pouch, announced contracts with the U.S. Defense Department and CSX Corp."
