FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MEDINEX SYSTEMS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenue Growth Continues As Company Slashes
Losses By 43% For The Six-Month Period

Company Also Announces Corporate Headquarters Moves To Florida

CELEBRATION, FLORIDA -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- August 14, 2002 -- Medinex Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:MDNX), an emerging leader in the delivery of comprehensive, cost-efficient and HIPAA-compliant healthcare technology solutions, today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002.

Net Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $121,000, compared to no revenues reported for the comparable reporting period in the prior year. Net losses from continuing operations were reduced to $630,000, or $.04 loss per share, for the current three-month period, compared to net losses of $727,000 or $.06 loss per share, reported for the same three-month period in 2001. Previously reported revenues from the Companys former MedMarket division, which was sold on June 28, 2002, have been eliminated from the restated financial statements.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Medinex generated $226,000 in net revenues from continued operations compared to no revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net losses from continuing operations were $1,106,000, or $.06 loss per share, for the current reporting six-month period, representing a 43% reduction from net losses of $1,927,000 or $.16 loss per share, reported for the comparable period in the previous year. As noted above, the Company has restated its financial results to reflect only the performance of its continued operations.

On a sequential quarter over quarter basis, the Company increased revenues 15%. Management expects to continue and incrementally increase its performance as sales and marketing efforts gain enhanced momentum. Further, Medinex noted that its aggressive cost-cutting program resulted in a 41% reduction in operating expenses when comparing the results for the six months periods, ended June 30 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Tony Paquin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medinex, stated, We are very enthused by the national interest our MedinexOffice suite of products has been attracting since we officially launched our sales and marketing initiatives at the beginning of the year. To illustrate, Medinex had 171 clinics, with 342 physicians, as licensed users of our system at the end of the second quarter, which compares with 104 clinics and 180 providers at the end of this fiscal years first quarter. Further, during the second quarter, we successfully secured a project-oriented IT consulting agreement with Florida Hospital, recognized as One of America's Best Hospitals" by US News & World Report for nine specialties."

Among several practices, wherein Medinex systems were either installed during the second quarter, or were contracted with and are currently being installed, include Kansas University Medical Center, Beverly Hills Heart Center, Alamo Bone and Joint Clinic, Central Florida Cardiology Group, Pacific Colon & Rectal Clinic, The Fresno Headache Medical Clinic, Weston Center for Plastic Surgery and Greater Baltimore Medical Center, just to name a few.

Continuing, Paquin noted, What healthcare providers are doing to comply with the new Federally-mandated HIPAA regulations is rapidly becoming a common source for media attention lately, and has contributed greatly to the growing demand for our proprietary product mix. Not only are physicians pleased with the significant cost efficiencies our solutions deliver, moreover, they are reporting universal satisfaction with the comprehensive, user-friendly and scalable functionality that clearly differentiates our technology from our market competitors."

In other news, the Company announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Coeur DAlene, Idaho to Celebration, Florida -- located just 30 minutes from downtown Orlando. Medinexs Phoenix, Arizona office will continue to house the Companys research and development, customer service and quality control divisions.

Paquin concluded, With Florida remaining one of the fastest growing healthcare markets in the country, it made prudent business sense to geographically relocate our operations to maximize available and dynamic sales opportunities within Florida, as well as in other high growth areas in the country. Over the course of the next several months, we expect to leverage our growing base of customers to further distinguish Medinex as the preferred healthcare administrative solutions provider to the industry. If the success were experiencing thus far is any indication, we are well on our way to achieving this important objective."
