Medical Technology Systems Announces Move To A New Location

Provides Revenue And Earnings Guidance For Fiscal 2005

Clearwater, Florida April 13, 2004Medical Technology Systems, Inc.(AMEX:MPP) today announced that the Company has entered into a lease to occupy space at 2003 Gandy Blvd., St Petersburg, Florida, with the move to begin immediately and be completed in October 2004.

The new facility will provide MTS with up to 130,000 square feet of office and production space, an increase from the 79,600 square feet MTS currently occupies. The Company will initially occupy approximately 104,000 square feet, with the option to access the remaining additional space when the need arises. Lease terms allow the Company several months to make the transition from its current location without duplicate occupancy costs.

“As the business has expanded, we’ve known it would be necessary to look for larger, more efficient space that provides room for continued growth,” says Todd E. Siegel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This state-of-the-art location offers the benefits of significant upgrades made by the prior tenant and allows us to bring our entire operation under one roof for the first time in many years. We will gain an extremely efficient configuration for manufacturing products and supporting customer needs that will also give employees an attractive place to work. We expect that the advantages offered by this new facility will allow us to continue to improve manufacturing efficiencies and absorb the additional occupancy cost associated with it.”

Siegel continues, “We believe that fiscal 2005 will be another year in which the Company will enjoy significant growth in both revenue and profitability fueled by continued strong sales of disposables, acceptance of our OnDemand® system and new products. Our revenue expectations for fiscal 2005 are between $43 million and $44 million, and we believe that our diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2005 will be in the $.40 — $.44 range, including the relocation costs and one-time charges. We expect that the costs and charges associated with the move to our new facility will represent approximately $.04 to $.06 per share and will be primarily recorded in our second quarter ending September 30, 2004.”
