Press Release Summary: FORTIST series Electric Whole House Tankless Water Heater
Passes Rigorous Product Safety Testing and Achieves Certification

Press Release Body: Scottsdale, AZ/ October 26, 2007/ Business Wire/ SKYE
International Inc. (OTCBB: SKYY) today announced that its FORTIST series Electric
Whole House Water Heater has passed its pre-market product safety testing regimen by
Intertek ETL SEMKO, a global, independent third-party testing lab and certification
agency. As evidence of its compliance to UL Standard 499, all FORTIST tankless
water heaters will bear Intertek's proprietary and universally accepted and trusted
ETL Listed Mark.

Intertek's ETL Listed Mark is one of several product certification marks (such as
the UL or CSA marks) that demonstrate compliance to national consensus standards
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), requires manufacturers to
submit their products to a Nationally and OSHA Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)
- for evaluation and certification to rigid consensus safety standards. Intertek is
an NRTL in the U.S. and is accredited as a Testing Organization (TO) and
Certification Body (CB) by the Standards Council of Canada as well. Its ETL Listed
Mark is recognized by fire marshals, building inspectors, and other Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) code officials throughout North America.

According to SKYE President Perry Logan, the certification of the FORTIST product
line now sets the stage for SKYE to commence production of its new product line by
early November, with full production slated for early 2008. The FORTIST line of
tankless electric water heaters elevates tankless technology to a new level. The
introduction of FORTIST to the marketplace means that American families can enjoy
the freedom of endless hot water while enjoying the energy savings that result from
this safe, durable and ultra-efficient appliance.
"The FORTIST line will set a new industry benchmark and we are excited that it will
soon be available to consumers in the marketplace," Logan said.
According to Logan, consumers have developed brand preferences for home appliances
like refrigerators, ovens and even plumbing fixtures. Now, even water heaters are
gaining consumer brand recognition and SKYE aims to be the premium brand of choice
for the benefit-aware consumer who is looking for what is best for their family and
the environment.
"From the durable, high-end stainless steel construction and advanced, ultra-safe
avionics grade electronics, FORTIST has features that discerning homebuyers will
recognize and prefer in making their home even more livable and family-friendly,"
Logan said.

Logan said in the past, water heaters were considered a necessary, but often
overlooked appliance. Now, as consumers become more knowledgeable and aware of
specific features and benefits, he expects consumers will exercise brand preference
in the water heater category and ask for the SKYE brand from their homebuilder or
contractor.
