Canton, MA: May 14, 2007 — International Electronics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IEIB.OB), said today that Glass Lewis, a leading provider of proxy voting and corporate governance solutions to the institutional marketplace, has recommended that IEIB shareholders use management’s White proxy form to vote their shares at IEIB’s Shareholder Meeting on May 18, 2007 against the voting rights proposal and in favor of Leslie Charm as a director. Glass Lewis recommends that shareholders DO NOT VOTE the blue dissident proxy.

Glass Lewis is widely recognized as a leading provider of proxy voting and corporate governance solutions to the institutional marketplace. Its analyses and recommendations are relied upon by institutional investment firms, mutual funds and fiduciaries worldwide.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

IEI filed a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC on March 16, 2007 regarding Risco’s unsolicited tender offer, and has subsequently filed amendments thereto. On April 27, 2007, IEI both filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC and mailed the proxy statement to its shareholders, which proxy statement in part relates to the tender offer commenced by Risco.
