Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. to Introduce Its Bird Flu Containment Solution to Another New Market; Company in Advanced Preparations for Romanian Demonstration Friday April 7, 9:45 am ET CORTE MADERA, Calif., April 7, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. (OTC BB:STTK.OB - News) and its subsidiary, Smart-tek Communications, Inc. announced today it is in advanced stages to introduce its RTAC-PM poultry monitoring and containment system to officials from Romania. ``Romania has recently reported a new outbreak of the deadly H5N1 virus,'' said Perry Law, President of Smart-tek Communications, Inc. ``It is estimated that there will be more than 100,000 birds culled during this latest outbreak. These outbreaks can have a devastating impact on the Romanian economy. We believe that our system can be a valuable tool for the Romanian government in their fight against the deadly avian flu. We are currently in active discussions with a licensee candidate in Romania to help market our product in the region. Concurrently with these efforts, we are in the advanced planning stages of preparing a demonstration of our RTAC-PM poultry monitoring and containment system to present to various government officials.'' ``Our understanding of the poultry distribution cycle in Romania is such that we believe that there is a great need for a poultry monitoring and tracking system to be implemented at the farm level in order for government officials to track poultry movements from the farmers to open markets,'' said Law. ``Our RTAC-PM system was designed for such application.'' It is estimated that the total poultry inventories currently stands at 80 million. ``In Romania, we are continuing with our global strategy to sign licensing agreements with local organizations that can help market our products with the proper levels of government,'' said Law. We are in very active discussions with an agent in Romania to become our next licensee that will serve as the liaison with the government and facilitate implementation of the system upon final approval by the appropriate authorities.`` The system, ``RTAC-PM,'' was designed for the livestock industry and is targeted specifically for the poultry industry with user defined alerts that may assist governmental agencies to monitor poultry movement. The RTAC-PM system incorporates leading edge technology and is customized around customers' requirements with the flexibility to adapt to various types of OEM products.
