International Electronics, Inc. Confirms Recommendation Against Inferior RISCO Offer

CANTON, MA — May 15, 2007 — International Electronics, Inc. (IEI) (OTCBB: IEIB.OB) today announced that its Board of Directors has confirmed its unanimous recommendation against the inferior, unsolicited tender offer by a subsidiary of RISCO, Ltd. and its unanimous recommendation to vote, at the upcoming shareholder meeting on May 18, 2007, against granting any voting rights for any shares that RISCO acquires in its tender offer.

As announced earlier today, IEI has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Linear LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nortek, Inc., at a price of $6.65 per share in cash in a tender offer and merger. This per share price represents a premium of more than 66% over the $4.00 price per share offered in the RISCO tender offer.
