Trimega Laboratories to Remain Invested in South Africa After Cape High Court Victory

CAPE TOWN, January 7 - UK based business man Avi Lasarow has confirmed that he and his company
Trimega laboratories will remain invested in South Africa after his victory
at the Cape High Court against local business partner Ashely Uys.

Yesterday the court made final an interdict brought by Lasarow against
Uys and his company Real World Diagnostics, his partner in drug and alcohol
testing firm Trimega Diagnostics. The ruling awarded with costs to Lasarow
prevents Uys and his company from using intellectual property belonging to
Trimega Diagnostics. The court found overwhelmingly in Lasarow's favour and
found that Uys had acted in breach of his fiduciary duties as a director of
Trimega Diagnostics.

"Through the creation of Trimega Diagnostics with Ashely Uys I sought to
invest positively in South Africa and in a young man who I still believe has
much potential," said Trimega Laboratories owners Avi Lasarow. "Mr Uys'
actions to profit individually by using the intellectual property of Trimega
Diagnostics were not only illegal but also deeply upsetting to me personally.
I am pleased however with the court's decision which proves that South Africa
enjoys a robust judiciary and as such I remain committed to investing in
South Africa.

Trimega Diagnostics continue to work with a number of high profile
clients supplying drug and alcohol testing services.

Lasarow has confirmed that it is his intention to sever all business
ties with Uys.
