P R ES S RE L EA SE

Kfar Saba, 25 January 2015 - Singapore Exchange Mainboard listed Sarine Technologies Ltd. ("Sarine") (U77:SI), a worldwide leader in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of precision technology products for the evaluation, planning, processing, measurement and grading of diamonds and gems, today announced the successful completion of its cooperation with HRD Antwerp, the leading Belgian gemmological laboratory owned and operated by the Antwerp World Diamond Center (AWDC), to facilitate interoperability between Sarine's AdvisorTM 5.2 diamond planning software and HRD Antwerp's EOS Fancy bruting and girdling (i.e., shaping) systems.
Sarine's newly available AdvisorTM 5.2 software upgrade allows the AdvisorTM planning software's output to be automatically integrated with and utilised by HRD Antwerp's EOS Fancy systems without manual intervention. Advisor'sTM superior analysis and planning functions, integrated with EOS Fancy's automated bruting and girdling system through automated and seamless interoperability, reduces human error and expedites the manufacturing process. To date hundreds of stones have been processed utilising the inter-linked technologies, demonstrating the advantages and superiority of the combined solution.
WTOCD (Wetenschappelijk en Technisch OnderzoeksCentrum voor Diamant; in English - the Scientific and Technical Research center for Diamonds, also a subsidiary of AWDC) developed the EOS and EOS Fancy systems, which are automatic machines for the bruting and girdling diamonds of all round and fancy shapes (i.e., the cutting and forming of the diamond's initial base shape), the initial step in the processing of the diamond's polishing before its faceting. WTOCD's unique systems provide an accurately controlled vibration-free cutting process, and assure high productivity and superb girdle symmetry and quality while focusing on easy user functionality and ergonomics.

WTOCD's EOS and EOS Fancy are exclusively commercialised by HRD Antwerp.

Sarine's AdvisorTM 5.2 is the preferred rough diamond planning software worldwide. The AdvisorTM software offers multiple optimal planning solutions by integrating internal inclusion data from Sarine's GalaxyTM and SolarisTM inclusion mapping systems with the diamond's external highly accurate 3D geometrical measurements, thus fully considering the potential value of multiple polished stones solutions. AdvisorTM supports all diamond types and sizes, from small makeable rough to complicated large stones, and is interoperable with a wide variety of Sarine devices and products, and now with HRD Antwerp's EOS systems as well.
"A perfect girdle is the very foundation of a well cut stone. In today's challenging market, the quality requirements for both round as well as fancy cuts are increasingly becoming more demanding. The EOS Fancy bruting machine has been developed by HRD Antwerp and WTOCD to deliver superb girdle quality, over and over again" explains Marc Thomassen, Chief Officer Equipment at HRD Antwerp. "The AdvisorTM - EOS interoperability is a fantastic accomplishment which now enables our customers to gain competitive advantage by combining the power of state-of-the-art diamond planning software with the industry's leading bruting system" Mr. Thomassen continued.

Thus, we are pleased that Sarine and HRD Antwerp can now offer the AdvisorTM - EOS Fancy integrative solution and are confident that our customers will enjoy the benefits of our joint endeavor" stated Uzi Levami, Chief Executive Officer of Sarine.
