Company Profile: [Lake Forest, Calif.] ( Nutek, Inc., OTCBB (NUTK) Nutek is a diversified holding company with two main operating companies involved in two very different industries. Nutek's VAC-U-Lift, Inc., in Jourdanton, Texas is involved in Oil & Gas production, And Nutek's newly acquired International Licensing Group (ILG), a California-based consumer marketing company, active in the acquisition, development, manufacturing and marketing of proprietary consumer and commercial products. It owns or controls a broad spectrum of unique patented products, which are sold worldwide. ILG introduces new products through the use of home shopping channels, its own infomercials, American Media, and a network of manufacturer's representatives. acquisition of ILG: The acquisition of ILG adds revenue and profitability to Nutek's financial bottom line, which will eventually equate to a much higher stock price. We see several good things coming from the merger. First, the intrinsic value to Nutek shareholders is increased due to the combined managerial and product resources of the two companies. Second, the ILG shareholders have improved liquidity as owners of a publicly traded stock. Third, the combined companies now have greater strength insofar as future mergers and acquisitions are concerned and a more substantial Balance Sheet. Fourth, Nutek has a 1.76 million-dollar tax loss carryforward that will offset ILG profits during the next 12 months. New Management: Rodger Garrity, Nutek's president, has resigned, but will stay on in an advisory capacity. ILG President, Michael A. Furr, is now President and CEO of Nutek. Mr. Furr has an extensive management background having worked with Figgie International in various capacities from Regional director to Vice President. Mr.Furr, accumulated a considerable amount of work experience and knowledge with regard to mergers, acquisitions and company valuations. When he left Figgie in 1987 the company was a multinational holding corporation with 37 operating companies in twelve countries doing in excess of 1.5Billion in revenues. Figgie's stock had grown from $8.00 a share to more than $60.00 a share by 1985. Mr. Furr also has considerable background in investment banking and stock brokerage having worked for H.J.Meyer & Company a New York member investment banking firm based in Beverly Hills, Calif. Mr. Furr is adept at working with the Wall Street community and is currently organizing a new network of Market Maker Broker/Dealers for Nutek stock. Mr. Furr is quoted as saying, "We will actively and aggressively spread the word to the investing public and brokerage community about the "New" Nutek and the exciting future in store for our stockholders."

ILG designs, develops and sells a broad spectrum of unique patented products. The Company is engaged in the marketing and licensing of exclusive patented consumer products, such as household, office, hardware and automotive products. The company will start marketing in January of 98 two of its patented products throughout North America and is in the process of rolling out additional products. One of the company's products is called the UPRIGHTTM, an attachment for shovel handles, and is expected to do between two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand in sales this winter. High Profit Margins: A major advantage that ILG has in the marketplace is in its proprietary patented products. All our products are one of a kind & patented, this means that they can not be reproduced, therefore we have no comparative product competition. This lack of competition allows us to maintain very high profit margins. Example: The UPRIGHT attachment for a shovel handle, retails for $ 19.95 and wholesales for $ 9.95 ILG's cost is approximately $ 2.95. The company still has to be price sensitive to retail value but does not have to worry about competition. ILG is divided into two main operating units: Marketing & Licensing, and Design & Tooling. The corporate offices are located in Lake Forest, California, where the CEO and corporate marketing are located. Strategic planning and marketing coordination of manufacturer's reps throughout the world is done from this location. New product development, licensing, patent prosecution and marketing rollout campaigns are also managed from the Lake Forest offices. Tooling for manufacturing is done in Utah, and manufacturing is subcontracted out to various companies located in Utah, California, Taiwan and Mexico. The Home Shopping Industry is booming: "It is estimated that television home shopping will exceed $100 billion by the year 2004" Industry Forecasts: The home shopping venue or channel of distribution has exploded during a period from 1990 to 1994. The various home shopping venues, i.e., American Media, the Home Shopping Club, QVC, Value Vision and dynamic, new channels of distribution generated almost $11 BILLION annually in sales. It is estimated that over four out of five Americans have purchased a product either directly or indirectly because of seeing it on TV. It's safe to say that nearly everyone has seen at least one infomercial, but few people realize the incredible revenue being generated by this type of marketing. The direct-response television form of marketing medium has created several multi-million dollar products in just their first year of marketing. Proven Strategic Marketing: The Company's ongoing marketing strategy is to introduce its products to the U.S. domestic markets through use of home shopping channels and infomercials. Below are the various stages of market development that ILG uses to introduce a product on the national level

Phase 1: Introduces prototype to QVC, American Media, The Home Shopping Channel, and various focus groups, and negotiates contracts, for product introduction to market. The Company's consumer products marketing program begins with television marketing. This will be done via Infomercials and TV Home Shopping Channels in the U.S. and Canada to over 100 million homes, comprised of over 200 million customers with sales of approximately $8 billion annually. Phase 2: The Company produces its own infomercials for products that were successful on Home Shopping networks. A successful campaign will typically last 60 to 90 days. Product recognition from exposure created via Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the television marketing campaign generates consumer awareness and desire for the product, creating a massive pull-type demand at the retail store level. Phase 3: Company introduces product to leading brokerage houses and manufacturer reps for marketing feedback. As mentioned in Phase 2, the Company plans to start the selling of the products to buyers of the major retail market chains during the airing of the home shopping and infomercial campaign. A successful retail rollout campaign can generate massive product sales to the domestic USA retail market. According to figures in Chain Store Guide, there are approximately 180,000 stores including major chains in the USA. Here is a partial list of stores to whom the Company plans to sell its products: Toys R Us, Staples, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Price-Costco, Sam's Club, CVS Stores, Sav-On, Thrifty-Payless, Eckerd, Osco, Walgreen's, Shopko, Fred Meyer, Roses, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway and Winn-Dixie. According to DRTV, every 1 unit sold during an infomercial will translate into 10 at the retail sales level. The following products are scheduled to be introduced on infomercial and home shopping networks this year.

The Company's Products: The Company is focused, at this time, on the development and marketing of products made in the United States. A significant emphasis is also placed on sales in the international marketplace, and special attention is devoted to export opportunities. This philosophy is reflected in the Company's use of "AmeriQuest" as one of its trademarks. ILG currently has 17 products targeting various market segments such as automotive, houseware, computer accessories, dental hygiene, restaurant equipment, gardening equipment, and other labor saving devices. UPRIGHT EZ LIFTTM: The UPRIGHT EZ LIFTTM is a novel, patented device (U.S. Patent No. 5,400,471) that is designed for attachment to a shovel so that the shovel can be used while the operator stands erect. The UPRIGHTTM attaches easily and is removable at two points on the handle of the shovel. In use, it improves leverage and enables the operator to use the shovel without having to bend over, as is necessary with conventional shovels. Thus, the UPRIGHT EZ LIFTTM represents a significant improvement in user comfort and substantially reduces the hazard of back strain to the user. UPRIGHT EZ LIFTTM will be welcomed by all as a way of increasing worker productivity and comfort while reducing risk of back pain and potential workers' compensation claims. The UPRIGHT EZ LIFTTM comes closer than any other product to making shoveling safe and efficient At only $19.95, ILG estimates infomercial sales during the six-month campaign at between 200,000 and 300,000 units.

SODA SAVERTM The SODA SAVERTM is a replacement cap for one-liter and two-liter carbonated drinks that will retain the carbonation in the drink substantially longer than the original cap. The SODA SAVERTM is a new product recently developed and finalized by ILG. The product was invented to address two major problems with two-liter soft drink bottles. The first problem is loss of carbonation. Most consumers refrain from purchasing soft drinks in two-liter bottles because of the soft drinks tendency to lose carbonation (average life is 3 days) before all of it can be used. With the SODA SAVERTM, the 3-inch diameter replacement cap locks in carbonation and extends the carbonated life of the soft drink for up to 2 weeks. Secondly, two-liter drink bottles are very large and hard to store upright in the refrigerator, and if stored horizontally, they leak. Because of the SODA SAVERTM airtight seal, the beverage will not leak even if stored upside down. This allows the user to store bottles on their side in the refrigerator, freeing up more room and making them easier to access. The product was also designed for those with limited strength in their hands, including children and/or those with arthritis. The wide-grip feature allows for better storage and easier handling. The flat surface of the SODA SAVERTM provides a large area for companies and organizations to advertise their name, telephone number, product brand, logo, etc. When in use on pop bottles, advertising slogans and logos will be viewed in a very central and highly visible place in the home: the refrigerator. When not in use, it can be attached by its magnet to the refrigerator door. The product was designed to sell in pairs for $1.99 retail, which means that it would pay for itself after about four uses. The product is made from high-density food grade polypropylene designed to be reusable and should last at least a year. After extensive market research, the company has discovered that the SODA SAVERTM has great appeal to non-profit organizations as a fundraising item. In this regard, the product can easily be customized to display an organization's motto or logo on the top surface. It is expected that substantial bulk sales of this product will be made to non-profit organizations. The company is currently working with the Girl Scouts of America, Boy Scouts of America, 4-H Clubs, Rose Parade, U.S.C., U.C.L.A., Children's Hospital, City of Hope, and many others to use the SODA SAVERTM as a fundraising tool. The company feels that minimum orders in 1998 from existing contacts will exceed 2 million with $1,000,000 in sales.

PIZZA PALTM This is a novel plastic pizza cutter (US patent pending) which cuts easily through the thickest pizza, yet is safe for even a child to use without concern that the child will be cut. The PIZZA PALTM has also been endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation due to its ease of use by those with painful arthritis who normally have trouble cutting a food such as pizza. The product is made of low cost materials and is attractive to homeowners for use in the kitchen. In addition, it can be used as a giveaway, having appropriate advertising slogans imprinted on it by commercial establishments, such as pizza parlors. Once again, this product can be sold to the consumer sector and, in combination with the SODA SAVERTM can be offered to restaurant owners as an effective, low-cost advertising and promotional item.
