HEADLINE: TOMAHAWK II SIGNS EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENT FOR ADVANCED AUTOMATED DOCUMENT SCANNING AND CONVERSION SYSTEMS

DATELINE: BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., July 7

BODY:
TomaHawk II, Inc. (Alberta: TKC) announced it has signed a software licensing agreement with Audre Recognition Systems Inc. (AMEX: ARS). The agreement will make TomaHawk the exclusive Minority Business Enterprise authorized to use Audre Recognition Systems advanced automatic conversion image- scanning system as a service bureau. A certain number of Federal contracts have a minority set-aside of up to 5 percent where Minority Business Enterprises have the privilege of non-competitive bids.

"We found AUDRE's automated conversion image-scanning technology to be unmatched in the industry," said David Smoot, chairman and CEO of TomaHawk. "We entered into the pact with AUDRE in keeping with our commitment to provide the most advanced technology available, emphasizing fast, low-cost delivery through our service bureaus and on- site programs."

Audre Recognition has recently announced a software licensing agreement with Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK) that expands its exclusive presence on the Department of Defense's Automated Document Management and Publishing System (ADMAPS) as the raster to vector subcontractor. With its most powerful UNIX-based information conversion technology, including a Neural Network to convert scanned images of alphanumeric information to ASCII, AUDRE provides the most comprehensive and cost effective conversion system available.

"We are excited about the potential this agreement has for us and our new partner," stated Thomas F. Casey, chairman and CEO of AUDRE. "TomaHawk is bringing our cost-effective information conversion to sectors of government and business that would otherwise be required to use more expensive conventional conversion methods to access their paper-based information."

Audre Recognition Systems Inc. (AMEX: ARS) designs, develops and markets a line of proprietary applied intelligence-based software systems. AUDRE's products are used to convert engineering drawings, technical publications and maps into computer-intelligent formats.
