 K-TRONIK TO ACQUIRE DACOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 HACKENSACK, N.J., July 13, 2004 -- K-Tronik International,
  (OTC BB: KTRK) announced today that it has entered into an acquisition agreement
  to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of Dacos Technologies, Inc. ("Dacos").

 Dacos is a leading privately held South Korean manufacturer
  of automotive TV/DVD electronics, personal media recorders, cell phone components
  and other electronic products. Dacos is also developing future products that
  incorporate "environmentally-friendly" organic electronic lighting in cell phone
  displays, monitors and other products.

 The Dacos Agreement calls for K-Tronik to acquire all of the
  issued and outstanding shares of Dacos in exchange for:

	 	 (a) US$3,000,000 payable to the shareholders
        of Dacos (the "Shareholders") on  closing; and  

	 	 
	 	 (b) Issuance of a total of 10,000,000
        common shares of K-Tronik to the  Shareholders, on a pro rata basis
        depending upon performance.  

The parties agree that the above consideration is based on
  Dacos achieving minimum targets of US$35 million in sales and US$2 million in
  profit ("profit" in this release is defined as net income before tax) by the
  end of December 2004. Dacos represents and warrants that no capital infusion
  is required to reach these sales and profit targets. 

 In the event that Dacos exceeds US$35,000,000 in sales for
  the year ending December 2004, the consideration payable to the Shareholders
  will increase. Specifically, if sales reach US$40 million and profit is US$2.2
  million, the Shareholders will receive an additional 2,000,000 shares of K-Tronik's
  common stock (for a total of 12,000,000 shares). If sales reach US$45 million
  and profit is US$2.5 million, the Shareholders will receive an additional 5,000,000
  shares (for a total of 15,000,000 shares). If sales reach US$51 million and
  profit is at least US$3.0 million, the Shareholders will receive an additional
  7 million shares (for a total of 17,000,000 shares).

 The Shareholder holding 20% or more of Dacos is Mr. CH Kang,
  CEO of Dacos, who holds 53.45% of Dacos. Mr. Kang will be joining the Board
  of Directors of K-Tronik upon closing of the acquisition of Dacos. Mr. Kang
  will also enter into an employment agreement with the Company for a term of
  three years to ensure his continued involvement in the development of Dacos
  and in its continued growth and operation.

 K-Tronik has agreed to indemnify Mr. Kang against any loss
  he may incur from having personally guaranteed loans made to Dacos. The precise
  amount of these loans will be disclosed in the pro-forma financial statements
  to be included by K-Tronik with its Report on Form 8-K formally describing the
  Dacos acquisition.

 A finder's fee of 500,000 shares of K-Tronik is payable to
  Mr. Duck-Sun Park in connection with K-Tronik's acquisition of Dacos.

 Closing of the Dacos Agreement and acquisition is conditional
  upon Dacos delivering audited financial statements (prepared in accordance with
  US GAAP). The acquisition is further conditional upon the parties entering into
  a binding share purchase agreement and is subject to the receipt of all necessary
  regulatory approval, K-Tronik board approval and consents to the transaction.
  Closing is anticipated, at this time, to occur on or about October 7, 2004.

 K-Tronik anticipates filing an initial Report on Form 8K within
  15 days of today's date. The pro-forma financial information required to be
  filed with the Report on Form 8K will be filed in an amended Report on Form
  8K within 60 days as provided for in SEC Instruction Item 7.

 The Company is hereby authorized to grant Incentive Stock
  Options as defined in section 422 of the Code to any employee or director (including

  subsidiaries; provided, however, that no person who owns stock possessing more
  than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company,
  or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations, shall be eligible to receive
  an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan unless at the time such Incentive Stock

  after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted.

  regard to such shares. 

 7.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

 Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements
  (which need not be identical) in such form and containing such provisions that
  are consistent with the Plan as the Plan Administrator shall from time to time
  approve. Such agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms hereof by reference
  and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

	 	(1)	Number of Shares. Each Option agreement shall specify the
      number of shares subject to the Option.
	 	 	 
	 	(2)	Option Price. The purchase price for
        the shares subject to any Option shall be determined by the Plan Administrator
        at the time of the grant, but shall not be less than 85% of Fair Market
        Value per share. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the purchase
        price for the shares subject to any Incentive Stock Option shall not be

3

	 	 	less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common
        Shares of the Company on the date the Stock Option is granted. In the
        case of any Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who owns stock
        possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
        of stock of the Company, or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations,
        the Option price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
        per share of the Company’s Common Shares on the date the Option is
        granted. For purposes of determining the stock ownership of an employee,
        the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply. 

	 	 	 
	 	(3)	 Notice and Payment. To the extent permitted by applicable
        law, any exercisable portion of a Stock Option may be exercised only by:
        (a) delivery of a written notice to the Company prior to the time when
        such Stock Option becomes unexercisable herein, stating the number of
        shares bring purchased and complying with all applicable rules established
        by the Plan Administrator; (b) payment in full of the exercise price of
        such Option by, as applicable, delivery of: (i) cash or check for an amount
        equal to the aggregate Stock Option exercise price for the number of shares
        being purchased, (ii) in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, upon
        such terms as the Plan Administrator shall approve, a copy of instructions
        to a broker directing such broker to sell the Common Shares for which
        such Option is exercised, and to remit to the Company the aggregate exercise
        price of such Stock Option (a “cashless exercise”), or (iii)
        in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, upon such terms as the Plan
        Administrator shall approve, the Company's Common Shares owned by the
        Optionee, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market
        Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate purchase price of
        the shares with respect to which such Stock Option or portion is thereby
        exercised (a "stock-for-stock exercise"); (c) payment of the amount of
        tax required to be withheld (if any) by the Company, or any parent or
        subsidiary corporation as a result of the exercise of a Stock Option.
        At the discretion of the Plan Administrator, upon such terms as the Plan
        Administrator shall approve, the Optionee may pay all or a portion of
        the tax withholding by: (i) cash or check payable to the Company, (ii)
        a cashless exercise, (iii) a stock-for-stock exercise, or (iv) a combination
        of one or more of the foregoing payment methods; and (d) delivery of a
        written notice to the Company requesting that the Company direct the transfer
        agent to issue to the Optionee (or his designee) a certificate for the
        number of Common Shares for which the Option was exercised or, in the
        case of a cashless exercise, for any shares that were not sold in the
        cashless exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its
        sole discretion, may extend and maintain, or arrange for the extension
        and maintenance of credit to any Optionee to finance the Optionee's purchase
        of shares pursuant to the exercise of any Stock Option, on such terms
        as may be approved by the Plan Administrator, subject to applicable regulations
        of the Federal Reserve Board and any other laws or regulations in effect
        at the time such credit is extended. 

	 	 	 
	 	(4) 	Terms of Option. No Option shall be exercisable after
        the expiration of the earliest of: (a) ten years after the date the Option
        is granted, (b) three months after the date the Optionee's employment
        with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates, or a Non-Employee Director
        or Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company, if such termination
        or cessation is for any reason other than Disability or death, (c) one
        year after the date the Optionee's employment with the Company, and its
        subsidiaries, terminates, or a Non-Employee Director or Consultant ceases
        to provide services to the Company, if such termination or cessation is
        a result of death 

4

	 	 	or Disability; provided, however, that the Option
        agreement for any Option may provide for shorter periods in each of the
        foregoing instances. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
        to an employee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined
        voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or any of its parent
        or subsidiary corporations, the term set forth in (a) above shall not
        be more than five years after the date the Option is granted. 

	 	 	 
	 	(5)	 Exercise of an Option. No Option shall be exercisable
        during the lifetime of an Optionee by any person other than the Optionee.
        Subject to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall have the power
        to set the time or times within which each Option shall vest or be exercisable
        and to accelerate the time or times of vesting and exercise; provided,
        however each Option shall provide the right to exercise at the rate of
        at least 20% per year over five years from the date the Option is granted.
        Unless otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator, each Option will
        not be subject to any vesting requirements. To the extent that an Optionee
        has the right to exercise an Option and purchase shares pursuant hereto,
        the Option may be exercised from time to time by written notice to the
        Company, stating the number of shares being purchased and accompanied
        by payment in full of the exercise price for such shares. 

	 	 	 
	 	(6)	 No Transfer of Option. No Option shall be transferable
        by an Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
      

	 	 	 
	 	(7)	 Limit on Incentive Stock Option. The aggregate Fair
        Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the stock
        with respect to which an Incentive Stock Option is granted and exercisable
        for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under all
        Incentive Stock Option plans of the Company and its subsidiaries) shall
        not exceed $100,000. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
        at the time the Stock Option is granted) of the Common Shares with respect
        to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
        an Optionee during any calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option
        plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporations) exceeds
        $100,000, such Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
        The determination of which Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
        Stock Options shall be made by taking Stock Options into account in the
        Order in which they were granted. 

	 	 	 
	 	(8)	 Restriction on Issuance of Shares. The issuance
        of Options and shares shall be subject to compliance with all of the applicable
        requirements of law with respect to the issuance and sale of securities,
        including, without limitation, any required qualification under state
        securities laws. If an Optionee acquires Common Shares pursuant to the
        exercise of an Option, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion,
        may require as a condition of issuance of shares covered by the Option
        that the Common Shares be subject to restrictions on transfer. The Company
        may place a legend on the share certificates reflecting the fact that
        they are subject to restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of
        this Section. In addition, the Optionee may be required to execute a buy-sell
        agreement in favor of the Company or its designee with respect to all
        or any of the shares so acquired. In such event, the terms of any such
        agreement shall apply to the optioned shares. 

5 

	 	(9)	 Investment Representation. Any Optionee may be required,
        as a condition of issuance of shares covered by his or her Option, to
        represent that the shares to be acquired pursuant to exercise will be
        acquired for investment and without a view toward distribution thereof,
        and in such case, the Company may place a legend on the share certificate(s)
        evidencing the fact that they were acquired for investment and cannot
        be sold or transferred unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
        as amended, or unless counsel for the Company is satisfied that the circumstances
        of the proposed transfer do not require such registration. 

	 	 	 
	 	(10)	 Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. An Optionee
        or transferee of an Option shall have no right as a stockholder of the
        Company with respect to any shares covered by any Option until the date
        of the issuance of a share certificate for such shares. No adjustment
        shall be made for dividends (Ordinary or extraordinary, whether cash,
        securities, or other property), or distributions or other rights for which
        the record date is prior to the date such share certificate is issued,
        except as provided in paragraph (13) below. Nothing in the Plan or in
        any Option agreement shall confer upon any employee any right to continue
        in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interfere in
        any way with any right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate the
        Optionee's employment at any time. 

	 	 	 
	 	(11)	 No Fractional Shares. In no event shall the Company be required to issue
      fractional shares upon the exercise of an Option. 
	 	 	 
	 	(12)	 Exercise in the Event of Death. In the event of
        the death of the Optionee, any Option or unexercised portion thereof granted
        to the Optionee, to the extent exercisable by him or her on the date of
        death, may be exercised by the Optionee's personal representatives, heirs,
        or legatees subject to the provisions of paragraph (4) above. 

	 	 	 
	 	(13)	 Recapitalization or Reorganization of the Company.
        Except as otherwise provided herein, appropriate and proportionate adjustments
        shall be made (1) in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan,
        (2) to the Option rights granted under the Plan, and (3) in the exercise
        price of such Option rights, in the event that the number of Common Shares
        of the Company are increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend
        (but only on Common Shares), stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
        reorganization, merger, consolidation, separation, or like change in the
        corporate or capital structure of the Company. In the event there shall
        be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Common Shares
        of the Company, or any stock or other securities into which such common
        shares shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged,
        whether by reason of a complete liquidation of the Company or a merger,
        reorganization, or consolidation with any other corporation in which the
        Company is not the surviving corporation, or the Company becomes a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of another corporation, then if the Plan Administrator shall,
        in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires
        an adjustment to Common Shares currently subject to Options under the
        Plan, or to prices or terms of outstanding Options, such adjustment shall
        be made in accordance with such determination. 

      To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to
        stock or securities of the Company, such adjustment shall be made by the
        Plan Administrator, the determination of which in that respect shall be
        final, binding, and conclusive. No 

6 

	 	 	right to purchase fractional shares shall result from
        any adjustment of Options pursuant to this Section. In case of any such
        adjustment, the shares subject to the Option shall be rounded down to
        the nearest whole share. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the
        Company to each Optionee whose Options shall have been so adjusted and
        such adjustment (whether or not notice is given) shall be effective and
        binding for all purposes of the Plan. 

      In the event of a complete liquidation of the Company
        or a merger, reorganization, or consolidation of the Company with any
        other corporation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation,
        or the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation,
        any unexercised Options granted under the Plan shall be deemed cancelled
        unless the surviving corporation in any such merger, reorganization, or
        consolidation elects to assume the Options under the Plan or to issue
        substitute Options in place thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding
        the foregoing, if such Options would be cancelled in accordance with the
        foregoing, the Optionee shall have the right exercisable during a ten-day
        period ending on the fifth day prior to such liquidation, merger, or consolidation
        to exercise such Option in whole or in part without regard to any installment
        exercise provisions in the Option agreement. 

	 	 	 
	 	(14)	 Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options.
        Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
        Plan, the Plan Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding options
        granted under the Plan and accept the surrender of outstanding Options
        (to the extent not theretofore exercised). The Plan Administrator shall
        not, however, without the approval of the Board, modify any outstanding
        Incentive Stock Option in any manner that would cause the Option not to
        qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422
        of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an Option
        shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights
        of the Optionee under the Option. 

	 	 	 
	 	(15)	 Other Provisions. Each Option may contain such other
        terms, provisions, and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may
        be determined by the Plan Administrator. 

8.     TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
   

 The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan; provided
  that, without approval of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares of
  the Company represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum
  is present or the written consent of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares,
  there shall be (except by operation of the provisions of paragraph (13) above)
  no increase in the total number of shares covered by the Plan, no change in
  the class of persons eligible to receive options granted under the Plan, no
  reduction in the limits for determination of the minimum exercise price of Options
  granted under the Plan, and no extension of the limits for determination of
  the latest date upon which Options may be exercised; and provided further that,
  without the consent of the Optionee, no amendment may adversely affect any then
  outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof. 

 9.     INDEMNIFICATION 

7

 In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they
  may have as members of the Board Committee that administers the Plan, the members
  of the Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company against reasonable
  expense, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection
  with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any
  appeal therein to which they, or any of them, may be a party by reason of any
  action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option
  granted thereunder, and against any and all amounts paid by them in settlement
  thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected
  by the Company). In addition, such members shall be indemnified by the Company
  for any amount paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any action, suit,
  or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall have been
  adjudged that such member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
  of his or her duties, provided however that within sixty (60) days after institution
  of any such action, suit, or proceeding, the member shall in writing offer the
  Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.

 10.     EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN 

 This Plan shall become effective (the "Effective Date") on
  the date of adoption by the board of directors. Unless sooner terminated by
  the Board in its sole discretion, this Plan will expire on June 15, 2014. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company by its duly authorized officer, has caused this Plan to be executed as of the 15th day of June, 2004.
