TORONTO, December 11 - Alcohol Countermeasure Systems Corp (ACS) has acquired the assets and
intellectual property of Seres Ethylomètre effective December 1, 2009. The
assets include the popular 679 series and newly launched SAF'IR family of
infrared breath alcohol testers.

As part of the acquisition, key employees of Seres will be redeployed
within France or relocated to global ACS offices to manage the transition to
the new manufacturing facility in Toronto, Canada starting January 2010.
Manufacturing processes and components will remain uncompromised to retain
the OIML and other product certifications that Seres has achieved.

"We admired Seres' capability of combining the accuracy of infrared
breath alcohol detection with the compact size of a handheld alcohol tester.
With this technology now under the ACS umbrella, we can leverage our
relationships acquired over 35 years to bring new choices to our customers,"
said Felix J.E. Comeau, Chairman & CEO of ACS.

"We are very proud that Seres Ethylomètry will become a significant part
of the ACS group," says Stéphane Vialettes, President of Seres Environnement.

Chris Wilson, Business Unit Manager of Alcohol Testers at ACS said, "The
accuracy of infrared technology to measure breath alcohol concentration is
undeniably superior - but has typically been accompanied by high prices.
This new relationship will permit ACS to deliver affordable infrared breath
testers."

ACS will retain the Seres brand through its French subsidiary Alcolock
France to continue supporting existing customers.
