API ELECTRONICS GROUP INC. (Formerly Investorlinks.com Inc.) Date: December 18, 2001 By: /s/ Jason DeZwirek ------------------ ------------------ Jason DeZwirek, Chairman of the Board, Executive V.P., Secretary and Director API ELECTRONICS SEES 50% INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR SUPPRESSORS; LANDS KEY CONTRACTS VALUED AT OVER $600,000 NEW YORK, December 17, 2001 - API Electronics Group [OTCBB:APIEF] today announced that the company has been awarded two contracts worth more than $600,000. Under the terms of the agreements, API will custom-manufacture and deliver suppressors to a leading manufacturer of specialized electronic components for the aerospace and defense industry. These API suppressors are a key component in relays being manufactured by the company, for use in military equipment. The company's name cannot be disclosed due to client confidentiality requirements. The aerospace industry has come to rely on API for its custom-made suppressors because they are small and extremely flexible, allowing for an easy fit into relays used in fighter aircraft and other airplanes. "These latest orders provide further confirmation that our product is the best on the market," says Jason DeZwirek, Chairman and CEO of API Electronics. "Demand for our suppressors has increased by 50%, and more and more relay manufacturers are turning to API while phasing out our competitors in this space." API also manufactures timing circuits for relays. Company executives expect this side of the business to grow at a similar pace in the months ahead. Executives also expect demand for electronic components to increase as activity increases on the military front. The Government Electronics and Information Technology Association estimates that the electronics content of Department of Defense procurement will rise from $26 billion in the current fiscal year to $35 billion in 2012. "API is in a strong position to increase value for its shareholders, based on growing demand from the military and the private sector," says DeZwirek. Last week, API announced it had shipped its largest order ever to the U.S. Military Electronics Supply Center. The government ordered more than 100 hybrid micro-electronic circuits for an unidentified military application. API is the sole manufacturer of many electronic components vital to the reliable performance of high-value military assets, such as fighter jets, heavy bombers and battle tanks.
