About Radient

Radient develops, markets, and provides microwave-assisted natural product extraction, purification and isolation methods, using microwave assisted processing ("MAP™"), a patented extraction platform, along with proprietary know-how in the critical downstream processing areas of purification and isolation. MAP™ is Radient's core technology, which typically yields superior extraction, purification and isolation results than conventional extraction processes.

Radient's technology has application in a number of industries and it has customers that are global market leaders in each of the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, natural health, active care and bio-fuel markets. Radient has successfully demonstrated to its customers that it's MAP™ technology works with numerous types of biomasses such as plants, micro-algae and fungi.

Radient works with customers to develop more efficient and effective extraction, isolation and purification methods for their high-value targeted ingredients extracted from natural biomasses using Radient's MAP™ technology. There are generally three stages of engagement with each new customer. The first stage is typically conduct of a feasibility study to apply the MAP™ technology to a selected biomass within the laboratory environment in order to identify its effectiveness on a selected biomass and to determine if any value-added benefits exist. Such benefits can include higher yields (more of a targeted ingredient can be extracted), better recoveries (higher purity ratios), faster processing time and reduced solvent and energy usage (being more cost effective). The second stage involves progression to using the MAP™ technology on the selected biomass on a larger scale within a pilot plant environment. The third and final stage is commercialization, which may result in Radient processing biomass and supplying targeted ingredients to a customer, or a customer licensing Radient's MAP™ technology and processing biomass on its own.

Radient has begun operating its 20,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Edmonton, Alberta. This manufacturing plant will contain a pilot plant, relocated from Radient's previous facility in Whitby, Ontario, and a commercial scale plant with capacity to process up to five (5) tonnes of biomass per day. The building and premises are owned by 1631807 Alberta Ltd., of which Radient is a 50% shareholder. The manufacturing plant will allow Radient to process biomass on a full commercial scale, and is an integral step in Radient's commercialization strategy of the MAP™ technology.

Radient's MAP™ technology was initially developed at Environment Canada, and the Government of Canada filed three (3) patents in connection with it. Radient initially licensed these patents on an exclusive basis, and subsequently purchased them from the Government of Canada. Radient continues to develop and file patents for additional intellectual property developed in connection with its MAP™ technology.

As indicated above, completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, completion of the Escrow Transfer, completion of the Minimum Radient Private Placement, TSX Venture acceptance and the Shareholder Approvals. The Arrangement cannot close until the required Shareholder Approvals are obtained. There can be no assurance that the Arrangement will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the information circular of Madison prepared in connection with the Arrangement, any information released or received with respect to the Arrangement may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of Madison or Radient should be considered highly speculative.

Neither TSX Venture nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements concerning: the completion of the Escrow Transfer, the completion of the Minimum Radient Private Placement, the receipt of TSX Venture approval, the receipt of the Shareholders Approvals and the completion of the Arrangement.

Although Madison and Radient believe that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because no assurance can be provided that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and neither Madison nor Radient undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
