Press Release Summary: Microcad Software is pleased to announce that autokitchen®
has been chosen by the NKBA as a software option for candidates taking their
certification exams.

Press Release Body: Microcad Software is pleased to announce that autokitchen® has
been chosen by the NKBA as a software option for candidates taking their
certification exams.

Beginning with the September 2008 exams, the NKBA will offer candidates the option
of taking an exam using the traditional paper and pencil hand drafting approach or
using a modified CAD program.

These candidates are testing to obtain NKBA certification status as a Certified
Kitchen Designer (CKD), Certified Kitchen Educator (CKE), Certified Bath Designer
(CBD), and/or Certified Bath Educator (CBE).

NKBA's new application form allows candidates to choose if they prefer hand drafting
or software. If they choose software, the program will have certain features
disabled, so as not to have an unfair advantage over candidates using hand drafting.
Microcad Software has agreed to modify autokitchen® per the NKBA's requirements at
no charge to the Association. The software will be offered to registered candidates
free of charge.

The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) is a non-profit trade association
that owns the Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference (K/BIS®). With more than
42,000 members, the NKBA has educated and led the kitchen and bath industry for 45
years.

The mission of the NKBA is to enhance member success and excellence, promote
professionalism and ethical business practices and provide leadership and direction
for the kitchen and bath industry. For more information, please visit the NKBA Press
Room at www.nkba.org/press or call (800) THE-NKBA.
