APAC TECHNOLOGIES AWARDED RED LIGHT CAMERA CONTRACT


American Plastics & Chemicals Inc., dba APAC Technologies, has
executed a contract to provide red light camera systems to the
City of Cupertino, CA.  The five (5) year contract provides that
APAC and its Australian partner, Poltech International Limited,
will install and operate not less than two (2) of Poltech's
proprietary digital red light camera and software systems in the
City.  These state-of-the-art systems are capable of
automatically detecting and recording red light running offenses
and preparing citations that are mailed to the offender.  The
minimum fine for running a red light in the State of California
is $ 271 and APAC will receive a flat service fee for each paid
citation issued during the term of the contract.  The Cupertino
red light cameras are expected to commence operations during the
first quarter of 2001.

APAC is the exclusive U.S. and Canadian distributor for digital
red light, speed, and toll road enforcement systems developed and
manufactured by Poltech.  The Cupertino installation is the
Company's first in the U.S., however Poltech's digital technology
is currently in use throughout Europe, Asia and Australia.  M.
Edward Stewart, President of APAC, said, "It is appropriate that
the first installation of Poltech equipment in the U.S. be in
Cupertino.  Poltech's patented digital imaging equipment is
recognized as being the most technologically advanced of its type
in the world and Cupertino sits in the heart of the world's
technology capital, the Silicon Valley".

Stewart also said, "The contract with Cupertino is the first of
many APAC expects to sign over the next two (2) to three (3)
years.  The systems we sell are the finest of their type in the
world, and we are exclusive distributors for these products in
the greatest market in the world.  Furthermore, the U.S. market
for these products is expected to grow rapidly.  No less than 18
states are expected to introduce legislation in their upcoming
2001 legislative sessions that would permit the use of red light
and speed camera systems.  If most of this legislation passes,
and we believe it will, the size of the U.S. market will more
than double in less than a year."

APAC is a development stage NASD OTC listed company trading under
the symbol "APLC".  Poltech is an Australian Stock Exchange
listed company (PLL) based in Melbourne, Australia.
