Independent News Service Will Post TekScout Listings

UTEK Corporation’s (AMEX:UTK - News) (LSE-AIM:UTK) TekScout™, an online network that links companies and scientists to help advance research and development processes, has teamed with Science|Business, an R&D news service, to make information available to each other’s readers.

Science|Business, an independent news and events service focused on research and development investment and policy in Europe, connects buyers and sellers of emerging technologies. Through the agreement, Science|Business will post TekScout’s listings to help attract companies and readers to solve challenges posted on TekScout. There is a direct link to www.TekScout.com on the Science|Business homepage. UTEK anticipates that this partnership will help reach its target audience and gain increased exposure and traffic through Science|Business’ readers.

“Our partnership with Science|Business is a logical one, given the synergies that exist between our business objectives and reader bases,” says Clifford M. Gross, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of UTEK. “By partnering with Science|Business, we see a unique opportunity to attract a European audience to our own network and expand our footprint in the European market.”

Richard L. Hudson, CEO and Editor of Science|Business, comments, “We believe that by posting TekScout’s listings to our readers, we are offering them added value and opportunities to participate in advancing R&D for technology specialists seeking outside help. In order to better pair buyers and sellers, it is important that we expand upon our own capabilities and work with companies like UTEK that can help us achieve this initiative.”

UTEK's operating results could fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors. These factors include the small number of transactions that are completed each quarter, the value of individual transactions, the timing of the recognition and the magnitude of unrealized and realized gains and losses of companies in its portfolio, UTEK's dependence on the performance of companies in its portfolio, the possibility that advances in technology could render the technologies it has transferred obsolete, the loss of technology licenses by companies in its portfolio, the degree to which it encounters competition in its markets, the volatility of the stock market and the volatility of the valuations of the companies it has invested in as it relates to its realized and unrealized gains and losses, the concentration of investments in a small number of companies, as well as other general economic conditions. As a result of these and other factors, current results may not be indicative of UTEK's future performance.
