Press Release Body = Bangalore, June, 13, 2006. Mindteck (BSE: MDTK) announced the
successful development of BeeStack for Freescale Semiconductor to be used with HCS08
microcontroller and the MC1319X series of RF data modems. This combination has gone
through compliance testing with the ZigBeeT specification and is one of the
certified platforms for use in ZigBee applications.

Mindteck's ZigBee Center of Excellence (CoE) is a one-stop-shop ZigBee solution
center, providing product design, development, implementation, and deployment
services to worldwide customers.

Acknowledging this landmark achievement, Shankar Velayudhan, Group Chief Technology
Officer, Mindteck said, "This ZigBee stack is specifically tailored for Freescale's
low power HCS08 microcontroller and the MC1319X series of RF data modems. With
aggressive power and resource management, this ZigBee compliant platform is a
perfect design choice for ZigBee-enabled products."

Freescale had earlier announced the availability of BeeKit in the Freescale
Technology Forum held in Shanghai last month. BeeKit includes BeeStack and developer
configuration tool that supports Freescale\'s platforms based on the HCS08 MCU.

"Mindteck's proven capabilities in embedded systems development and expertise in
ZigBee specification design services were instrumental in Freescale's decision to
work with Mindteck," said Brett Black, commercial wireless operations manager for
Freescale. "The ZigBee stack now gives us the flexibility to customize and optimize
the platform to differentiate ourselves from the competition."

Mindteck's competitive business model comprising transformational outsourcing
services focused on improving customers' operating model, value-gains from domain
and core technologies expertise, and cost competitiveness resulting from offshore
project execution was the other decisive factor in this landmark deal.

\"Mindteck's partnership and development history with Freescale opens the door for
more ZigBee compliant platforms to enter the market," said Bob Heile, chairman of
the ZigBee Alliance. "ZigBee dominates the wireless sensors and control market
largely because of its vast selection of compliant platforms produced by the top
semiconductor companies in the world.\"
