Press Release Summary: Kopytek selects L.A. Schaefer Construction Company as General
Contractor; receives $4 million tax-exempt bond issued by the Missouri Development
Finance Board.

Press Release Body: Kopytek president John Peterson has selected L.A. Schaefer
Construction Co., Inc. in Chesterfield to erect the company's new headquarters to be
located at 9595 Dielman Rock Industrial Court in Olivette. "By moving from our
current facility at 1455 Page Industrial in Overland," Peterson said. "we will more
than double our operating environment as our new $2.2 million facility will equate
to 20,000 square feet of office, production and warehousing space and house an
additional $2 million in the latest digital imaging technology."

Peterson indicated L.A. Schaefer Construction came out on top in the bid process due
to the company's demonstrated ability to support the estimation aspects of the
project as well as their expertise in providing a clear perspective on project
management. "We are very excited that Kopytek selected us as the General Contractor
in support of their expansion efforts," said Bob Schaefer, president of L.A.
Schaefer Construction. "All of us at L.A. Schaefer look forward to partnering with
Dial Architects to build Kopytek's corporate headquarters."

The new Kopytek facility will be financed with a $4 million tax-exempt bond issued
by the Missouri Development Finance Board and coordinated by Southwest Bank of St.
Louis. According to Scott Larson, senior vice president of Southwest Bank, the
project is an example of a unique tax-free funding process that helps manufacturers
invest in the community. "We have extensive experience in financing industrial
revenue bonds and partnered with investment banking firm Stern Brothers to deliver
this financing option to Kopytek," he said. "This kind of investment is precisely
what the bonds are intended to do - support Missouri manufacturers and the economy."

Kopytek's revenues for 2007 are projected at $3.8-$4m. Peterson estimates the
company's growth expectancy in 2008-2009, directly related to increased business
space, will be in the range of 20-30 percent with revenue projections to double
within the next five years. Ground-breaking on the new Kopytek facility is slated
for mid-September with the company's intent to be operational in Olivette by first
quarter 2008.
