Press Release Body = CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Leatt Corporation (Pink Sheets:
LEAT.PK), a Nevada, USA Corporation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, that
develops, sells and distributes the Leatt-BraceT, a Neck Brace System designed to
help prevent potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the cervical spine
(neck), today announced that it has supplied the first shipment of Leatt-BracesT
purchased by BMW Motorrad, Munich, Germany.

The first batch of Leatt-BraceT MOTO GPX Sport braces were purchased by BMW at the
request of Andreas Geisinger, head of riders' equipment, BMW Motorrad in Munich,
Germany to be used for further testing at the BMW Motorrad Accident Research
facility and by BMW Motorrad test riders. These braces were manufactured to BMW
specifications in the BMW colors of grey and black. Images of these BMW/Leatt-BraceT
MOTO GPX models can be viewed on the Company website at
www.leatt-brace.com/photogallery/photofolder11.asp.

The majority of the braces from this batch will be allocated to the BMW Motorrad
works and test riders, who will be assessing the braces in terms of comfort and
practicality. Ongoing research and development of the brace is being conducted in
cooperation with BMW, who are evaluating the feasibility of incorporating the brace
within the existing BMW safety clothing range.

"I am very proud of this achievement and everyone who has worked so hard to bring
the production of the braces online," said Dr. Christopher Leatt, President and
C.E.O. of the Leatt Corporation, and added, "I am equally exited to see that some of
the first production quality braces to be bought and paid for have rolled off of our
production line and have been delivered to BMW."

The collaboration with BMW Motorrad, Munich, Germany, is expected to result in the
Leatt Corporation supplying regular orders of braces to BMW later in the year. There
can be no assurances that the research and development conducted at BMW Motorrad
will lead to any further business relationship between BMW/BMW Mottorrad and the
Leatt Corporation, or that the developments described herein will produce any
significant revenues or profits for the Leatt Corporation.
