Kirchner and Company Inc. has been engaged as investment advisor and agent to Warnex Inc.

Laval, Quebec, 11 December 2006 – Warnex Inc. (TSX: WNX) today announced that it has decided to explore strategic alternatives for its pathogen detection business including partnerships, joint ventures or the sale of this business, in order to enhance shareholder value. The Company has mandated a U.S.-based investment banking firm, Kirchner & Company, Inc., to act as its agent in this process.

“We take considerable pride in the technology we have developed and believe that our system is the best food safety technology available. Ensuring the pathogen detection system achieves its full commercial potential, however, ultimately requires a wider distribution platform than we can provide. Therefore, in order to ensure its long-term success, we have decided to explore strategic alternatives for this part of our business,” said Mark Busgang, President and CEO of Warnex. “Looking forward, our goal is to be focused on our laboratory services divisions. Our analytical, bioanalytical and medical laboratory divisions have always been profitable and have generated a strong 5-year compound annual revenue growth rate of 43%. With two acquisitions completed in 2006, we are looking forward to strong organic growth as well as additional acquisitions in the profitable laboratory services sector.”

The Warnex(TM) Rapid Pathogen Detection System, based on real-time PCR technology, offers a versatile detection and quantification platform that provides accurate results within 3 to 48 hours, a significant improvement over traditional microbiology tests that require 5 to 7 days. This business, which is based on a recurring revenue model, has realized over 60% growth in reagent revenues in the last year. With three European distributors, an initial customer base in North America and a strategic alliance with Eppendorf, a global leader in the laboratory equipment market, this operation provides an attractive business opportunity.

Warnex provides no assurance that the initiation of a process to explore strategic alternatives will result in a transaction. No decision has been made to enter into any transaction at this time. The Company does not currently intend to disclose developments with respect to the exploration of strategic alternatives unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction.
