                             ROMTECH, INC. ANNOUNCES
                             COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE


      LANGHORNE, Pa., Oct. 26, 1998 /PRNewswire/ -- RomTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROMT)
today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase
shares of its Common Stock in the marketplace. Pursuant to the authorization,
the Company can repurchase up to $1,000,000 of its Common Stock.

      Commenting on the Board's action, Gerald W. Klein, President and CEO said,
"The Board approved the Company's repurchase since it believes that the
Company's stock is undervalued in the marketplace and that purchases will be
beneficial to the Company and will increase shareholder value. The Company
intends to use the shares to be repurchased for reissuance in connection with
the Company's employee stock option plan, which will prevent dilution of
existing shareholders as a result of the exercise of stock options." The shares
will be repurchased from time to time in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market System.

      The Company's net income and income per share were $1,135,000 and $.12,
respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. On October 23, 1998,
9,506,200 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued and outstanding, and
the last sale price of the Common Stock on that date was $1.69 per share.
