align="justify">On March 3, 2008, Carmanah Technologies Corporation announced a two-year contract to supply the State of New Jersey's Lottery Division with LED edge-lit signage. The contract, valued at up to $500,000, extends from March 1, 2008 until February 28, 2010. Under the terms of the contract, Carmanah will provide custom edge-lit hanging window signs and instant ticket dispenser signs that will be used to help New Jersey Lottery retailers promote the sales of both instant ticket and online lottery tickets throughout the state. This order follows a previous contract from 2006 to supply up to $336,000 in signs, and an order from 2005 for 1,000 edge-lit signs.

As an alternative to traditional signage, Carmanah's edge-lit signs use bright, energy-efficient LEDs (light emitting diodes) for an eye-catching illuminated display that's durable, long lasting and cost effective. Carmanah's edge-lit signs feature a number of technical innovations and competitive advantages that distinguish them from other LED edge-lit products, including a slim versatile design, exceptionally bright illumination, crisp image detail, and durable shatterproof construction. For nearly forty years, the New Jersey Lottery has helped raise revenue for education and institutions throughout the state. In 2007, the lottery provided $828.3 million in funding for community colleges, Department of Human Services, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture School Nutrition Program, and the Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf.

In addition to lottery signage, Carmanah provides edge-lit signs for a range of applications, including architectural, point of purchase, gaming, street name and traffic signs.
