Press Release Summary = Quatro\'s new design optimization methodology improves the
product development process.

Press Release Body = Poway, CA (Feb. 12, 2007) - Quatro Composites introduced a new
proprietary methodology designed to optimize the structural performance (weight,
strength, stiffness, cost) of carbon fiber components. This advanced product
development technology is being employed in the New Quatro Technical Development
Center in Poway, CA.

Structural optimization combines state-of-the-art design capabilities with
conventional finite element analysis (FEA). Structural performance is the design
driver in the concept stage rather than later in the development process. This
method uses mathematical techniques to produce an optimized shape and material
distribution for a given loading condition and for a variety of material models,
including composite structures.

This approach improves design performance and minimizes cost and material waste.

"The future is bright for our business," said Doug Roberts, Quatro's V.P. of Sales &
Marketing. "The large scale airframe manufacturers have launched a
metal-to-composite conversion initiative like the world has never seen. This unique
tool has gained Quatro significant notoriety with the airframers. We are actively
contributing to this global initiative by delivering structural composite hardware
with failure prediction and 50% weight savings."

The New Quatro Technical Development Center in Poway employs nine degreed engineers
that utilize the optimization technology in the design and development of carbon
composite aerospace structures. Quatro currently specializes in a variety of markets
including aerospace, medical, military & defense, sports and recreation, automotive,
and wind energy.

Quatro Composites, a division of Tec Industries L.L.C, is an Iowa-based advanced
composite manufacturer specializing in carbon fiber applications. Quatro
manufactures and engineers products for the aerospace, medical, military & defense,
sports and recreation, automotive and wind energy markets. The business operates in
two locations, Orange City, Iowa, (Headquarters, Manufacturing & Distribution) and
Poway, California (Manufacturing & Technical Development Center).
