Press Release Body: LAKE OSWEGO, OR – September 2, 2008 — Timbercon, Inc., a fiber
optic product and solution manufacturing company, announced today that they have

registration from the US Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
This registration documents Timbercon’s dedication to adhering to the regulations

them to work in conjunction with the US military and expresses the company’s
obligation to handle ITAR protected products according to all regulations.
