Naples, Fla. – September 18, 2002 – SmartDisk Corporation (Nasdaq: SMDK), a company that markets portable products for capturing, organizing, using, and preserving digital content, announced today that it has filed a registration statement with the SEC relating to a rights offering. Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, the Company will distribute to its stockholders as of the close of business on September 27, 2002 a fixed amount of non-transferable rights to subscribe for shares of its common stock. Each right will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a subscription price to be determined by a special committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of three independent directors. The special committee will also determine the number of rights to be issued with respect to each outstanding share on the record date. The special committee has retained the investment banking firm First Tennessee Securities Corporation to advise on this transaction.

Under the proposal, any stockholder who fully exercises their rights may oversubscribe for additional shares of common stock at the same purchase price. The registration statement covers a proposed maximum offering of $7,500,000 of the Company's common stock.

The Company anticipates that the rights offering will begin during September 2002, subject to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC, and will continue for thirty days thereafter. The Company plans to use the proceeds of the rights offering for general working capital purposes and to improve liquidity.

The securities are being offered by the Company and represent new financing for the Company. Stockholders will receive a prospectus and subscription materials in the mail, or they may contact Crystal Revak, Investor Relations, at (239) 436-2591.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. The rights offering will only be made by means of a prospectus. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
