B: Centrex CEO'S Article Featured in Homeland Security Strategies Magazine

WASHINGTON, Nov 18, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Centrex, Inc. (OTCBB:CNEX) today
announced that Dr. Thomas R. Coughlin, Jr., the Company's CEO, has written the
lead article for the current issue of Homeland Security Strategies magazine. Dr.
Coughlin's article, written from his perspective as Director and Chairman of the
Board of the Homeland Security Technology Council of the United States (HSTC),
discusses the issue of standards in the homeland security industry. Homeland
Security Strategies is an e-magazine that is distributed to 25,000 systems
integrators and suppliers of IT products and services for the federal
government. Current total distribution is at about 45,000 per month, going to an
additional 20,000 federal IT managers and professionals. Homeland Security
Strategies is published monthly by the Public Sector Institute, a joint endeavor
of the Federal Business Council, Inc. (FBC) and Public Sector Communications,
L.L.C. (PSC). For more information visit:
www.publicsectorinstitute.net/ELetters/HomelandSecurityStrategies/

The HSTC is a non-profit organization of homeland security technology users,
manufacturers, developers and suppliers which serves as an information and
consultation resource for government and industry. While the HSTC is composed of
a diverse group of representatives from government, private industry and
academia, all are focused on homeland security technology development and
applications.

Centrex, Inc. is a development stage company that owns the exclusive worldwide
license to develop, manufacture and market a system for detecting microbial
contamination in air, food and water by recognizing the unique genetic
fingerprint of the contaminant. The initial technology was developed at Los
Alamos National Laboratory. For more information, visit the Centrex website at
www.centrexcorporation.com or contact 843-971-4848.

Dr. Coughlin also acts as the HSTC's Washington liaison, and as such, is a
direct representative to the federal government for the HSTC. The HSTC's
Washington initiatives started in the fall of 2002 and have included meetings
with officials from the National Academy of Sciences, the Senate Commerce
Committee, the House Science Committee, the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of
Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy
and the Department of Commerce and several members of the House and Senate.
Through these meetings, the Council has been able to set up a framework for
ongoing discussions with other Federal officials and agencies for immediate
implementation now that Congressional legislation has established a new U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.

More recent follow-up Washington conferences have helped expand upon the
potential role of the HSTC in the homeland security arena, and aided in defining
specific areas of need where the HSTC can make a viable contribution. For
example, the HSTC is part of the Steering Group for the Department of
Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory's Technology Development Program
Plan for U.S. Energy Infrastructure Security.

Membership in the Homeland Security Technology Council is open to any
organization, company, government agency, academic institution or individual
having an interest in promoting Homeland Security through the application of
innovative and evolving technologies. For more information on the Council and
membership opportunities, please visit the HSTC website at: www.thehstc.us.
