VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 2004

NORTH AMERICAN MEDICAL SERVICES INC. (TSXV:NMI) ("NAMS") is pleased to provide its shareholders with the following update.

NAMS wholly owned subsidiary NuCelle

Inc. is proud to announce that NuCelle's SunSense SPF30+ sunscreen has been named to Forbes Magazine's list of Top 10 Nanotech Products for 2003. An excerpt from that article appears below:

"Adviser Soapbox

The Top Ten Nanotech Products Of 2003

8) Nanocrystalline Sunscreen

Whether you're heading to the islands or the slopes this winter, you may want to slather on a bottle of NuCelle SunSense SPF 30 sunscreen. Its main ingredient is Z-COTE, a substance made with nanotechnology by BASF (nyse:BF). "Nano-dispersed zinc oxide is the basis of Z-COTE," says BASF's Dieter Distler. The common SPF (sun protection factor) rating system only rates protection against UVB rays. Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, but its characteristic white pasty goop often leaves sunbathers and lifeguards feeling like they're wearing clown makeup. The nanotechnology in Z-Cote produces a high-purity nanocrystalline zinc oxide, which allows the sunscreen to go on clear. And, to boot, the inorganic Z-COTE can't be absorbed by the skin and won't cause allergic reactions."
