DALLAS, Apr 26, 2003/ FW/ --- Optimal Robotics Corp. (NASDAQ:OPMR), North America's leading provider of retail self-checkout systems, is pleased to showcase its most recent innovations in self-checkout technology to the convenience store market. Optimal will be exhibiting at the NACSTech (National Association of Convenience Stores Technology) trade show at the Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas, April 28-30, 2003 in Booth # 118.

Optimal Robotics will be displaying the compact U-Scan1 single bag terminals, featuring the latest c-store innovations. New multi-media designed specifically for the c-store environment helps shoppers easily pay for their food service items, tobacco, and gas. The new U-Scan stations have also been equipped with biometrics devices used for age verification, as well as signature capture pads for quick and easy credit card transactions. Interfaces to both IBM and Retalix point of sale systems will also be on display.

In addition to the U-Scan1 stations, Optimal will be presenting its smallest footprint and lowest profile unit, the new kiosk version of the U-Scan1. The new terminal, which has been reduced in size, has been specifically designed for debit and credit card transactions and is equipped with signature capture for added convenience. The U-Scan1 Kiosk(tm) will also dispense cash and may act as an alternative to a store's existing ATM where space is limited.

"We are very pleased with the growing interest we see coming from the c-store market. We believe U-Scan will be a very powerful tool for the c-store operator as competition increases from outside their industry" said Henry Karp, Optimal's President and Chief Operating Officer. "U-Scan can help increase service levels by reducing wait times and increasing throughput during critical peak periods."

Optimal Robotics is currently working with two prominent convenience store operators, who will start in-store testing of their own customized U-Scan models during the month of May.
