Leatt Corporation LEAT
a
Nevada, USA Corporation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, that
develops, sells and distributes the Leatt-Brace(TM), a Neck Brace System
designed to help prevent potentially devastating motor sport injuries to
the cervical spine (neck), today announced that it has supplied the first
shipment of Leatt-Braces(TM) purchased by BMW Motorrad, Munich, Germany.



The first batch of Leatt-Brace(TM) MOTO GPX Sport braces were purchased by
BMW at the request of Andreas Geisinger, head of riders' equipment, BMW
Motorrad in Munich, Germany, to be used for further testing at the BMW
Motorrad Accident Research facility and by BMW Motorrad test riders. These
braces were manufactured to BMW specifications in the BMW colors of grey
and black. Images of these BMW/Leatt-Brace(TM) MOTO GPX models can be
viewed on the Company website at
www.leatt-brace.com/photogallery/photofolder11.asp.





The majority of the braces from this batch will be allocated to the BMW
Motorrad works and test riders, who will be assessing the braces in terms
of comfort and practicality. Ongoing research and development of the brace
is being conducted in cooperation with BMW, who are evaluating the
feasibility of incorporating the brace within the existing BMW safety
clothing range.



"I am very proud of this achievement and everyone who has worked so hard to
bring the production of the braces online," said Dr. Christopher Leatt,
President and C.E.O. of the Leatt Corporation, and added, "I am equally
exited to see that some of the first production quality braces to be bought
and paid for have rolled off of our production line and have been delivered
to BMW."



The collaboration with BMW Motorrad, Munich, Germany, is expected to result
in the Leatt Corporation supplying regular orders of braces to BMW later in
the year. There can be no assurances that the research and development
conducted at BMW Motorrad will lead to any further business relationship
between BMW/BMW Mottorrad and the Leatt Corporation, or that the
developments described herein will produce any significant revenues or
profits for the Leatt Corporation.



About The Leatt Corporation: The Leatt Corporation is the exclusive global
distributor of the Leatt-Brace(TM), a Neck Brace designed to prevent or
lessen the severity of potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the
cervical spine (neck). The manufacture and development of the core products
currently take place at the Leatt Corporation's offices in Cape Town, South
Africa, which are situated at the headquarters of Leatt Brace Holdings
(Pty) Ltd.
