PDC Innovative Industries Declares 5% Dividend

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Jan 12, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PDC Innovative Industries
Inc. (OTCBB:PDCI) today declared a 5% dividend for all holders of record on
1/12/2001 and payable Jan. 22, 2001. PDCI officers and directors have
relinquished all rights to the 5% dividend, according to a company spokesperson.
The dividend will give one share of PDCI common for every 20 shares owned by a
shareholder.

PDCI management stated that the additional shares for stockholders is intended
to allow those holders to participate in the growth of the company which the
company expects will occur in 2001 when the Sterile-Box 2000 is marketed through
Clearlake Financial Corp. of Hialeah, Fla.

Those who are shareholders through Jan. 22, 2001 will receive the 5% dividend.
After Jan. 22, 2001 the shares will trade without the dividend.

The PDCI Board of Directors was also informed today that company Founder David
Sowers and Mrs. Sowers have elected to sign a lock-up agreement relative to
shares owned by the Sowers family. Other than the exercise of voting rights, the
lock-up would extend for a two year period from issue in July 2000. Concerned
with the possible distraction of the family shares, the shares are being removed
from the market for at least the two year period as indicated, permitting the
trading shares more flexibility while the company markets its products with the
expectations of good revenues and is subsequently able to manufacture more
products already designed for the company.

Hypo-Sterile 2000, also known as Sterile-Box 2000, is a container for use in a
hospital, clinic or medical office location that receives contaminated,
disposable syringes and other small devices after use on a patient. The
contaminants are subjected to high Fahrenheit temperatures for sterilization and
then a compacting process which reduces the materials to the size of a U.S.
quarter piece. The residual product remaining after the process is transformed
into non-toxic waste able to be disposed of as ordinary trash. The container is
expected to compete more than favorably against current bio-hazardous systems,
including the standard Sharps Container which creates heavy disposal costs in
order to get rid of contaminated product. One of the major, proprietary aspects
of Hypo-Sterile 2000 is its portability and simple maintenance needs. There are
no desktop sterilizers currently functioning in the medical fields that can be
compared to the PDCI container product.

This press release contains forward looking statements made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Expression
of future goals and similar expressions reflecting something other than
historical fact involves risks and uncertainties. The actual results the company
achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such
risks and uncertainties.
