IMPLANT SCIENCES CORPORATION AND OSI SYSTEMS RESOLVE LEGAL DISPUTE
 
 
RESOLUTION ALSO PROVIDES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF IMPLANT SCIENCES’ SECURITY PRODUCTS BY OSI
 

WAKEFIELD, MA … January 7, 2008Implant Sciences Corporation (AMEX: IMX) a leading developer of advanced explosives detection products and technology, today announced the resolution of the legal dispute between the Company and OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) regarding the Development, Distribution and Manufacturing Agreement entered into in 2005. Under the terms of the resolution, the parties rescinded the previous agreement and entered into a new non-exclusive distribution agreement for Rapiscan Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of OSI Systems, to sell Implant Sciences security products worldwide.
 
Phillip C. Thomas, Implant Sciences Chairman and CEO, commented, “The Company has put an end to the distraction and drain on financial and human resources being expended on this dispute. As such, our team will now be more focused on increasing sales and accelerating the development of new products as we continue our push toward profitability. This resolution also places us in a position where we can work cooperatively with a recognized leader in the imaging portion of the security market and provides the opportunity to leverage Rapiscan’s distribution channels to enhance worldwide sales of our handheld and benchtop trace explosives detection products. This outcome is additive for both companies and establishes the basis for a positive business relationship for both firms. We look forward to collaborating with OSI and Rapiscan on current and new opportunities in the sale of our security products.”
