Nutek, Inc. Announces TekPlate™ Approved by Insurance Underwriter.

LAS VEGAS, October 28, 2003 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Nutek, Inc. (NUTK) today announced that the TekPlate™ product has been approved by the underwriter for Old Line Agency Services, providers of America's #1 nationally brokered Bed and Breakfast (B&B) / Country Inn Insurance Program.

“We have added TekPlate™ to the list of products that are acceptable to the program for emergency lighting. Each client that needs Emergency Lights gets the information about the product,” stated Bill Carr at Old Line.

There are over 25,000 operating Bed & Breakfast and Country Inns in the U.S. serving more than 3.7 million guests annually. Additionally, The Wall Street Journal reports this segment as one of the fastest growing industries in the United States.

“I installed seven TekPlates™ in less than an hour the day I received them and have received nothing but positive comments from my guests” said Louise Samuelson, who owns and operates her B&B, Lithia Rose, in Ashland Oregon. “We needed a solution that was permanently mounted and wouldn’t ‘walk away’. TekPlate™ is the only product that meets that requirement and it provides more light than the rechargeables.”

“Until now the only real choices were rechargeable flashlights that turn on automatically when the electricity is lost. All of these ‘approved’ products last for no more than about 90 minutes of light. We believe that 90 minutes of light only solves one potential risk. The one that is overlooked, which TekPlate™ solves, is the risk of the guests being in the dark, for an extended period, yet there is no emergency. In addition, the rechargeable lights may be dead when they are needed if the guest is out of the room when the blackout occurs. Our product, the TekPlate™ brand Backup Light, lasts for up to 48 hours on a fresh set of batteries. The Innkeepers need only change the batteries to get up to an additional 48 hours of light,” stated Ira Silverman, Marketing Director for TekPlate™.

The Old Line Bed and Breakfast underwriting requirements now include emergency lighting in each guest room. The underwriter has made it clear that flashlights do not meet this requirement. We are proud to announce that TekPlate™ does meet this requirement. Nutek is in the process of contacting the roughly 8,000 B&B’s belonging to the Professional Association of Innkeepers International, (PAII) regarding this latest development. Nutek has joined the association and has placed an advertisement on their website for the TekPlate™ product.

“We are extremely pleased with the remarkable job and contribution Mr. Silverman has provided to have the TekPlate™ recognized as a viable and needed product. Not only has the product been repositioned in the market, Mr. Silverman is creating interest and widespread exposure in the marketplace for the TekPlate™,” stated Murray Conradie, Nutek CEO.

"We recently announced the spin-off of the patented TekPlate™ product and various related licenses, marketing agreements, etc., into a subsidiary corporation. We anticipate direct benefits to our bona fide shareholders, who will soon be direct owners of the subsidiary (registered shareholders of Nutek on the Record Date of October 31, 2003, will receive a special distribution of a pro rata portion of the common stock of the subsidiary - see Nutek's press release of October 20, 2003), as well as to Nutek, the parent company, which will retain the majority of the Subsidiary's issued shares," concluded Mr. Conradie.
