SRT Clients Experience The Benefits Of The SIDEKICK

27 July 1998

Savannah River Technologies, Inc. (SRT) Clients Experience The Benefits Of The SIDEKICK
    AIKEN, S.C., July 27 -- SRT clients are beginning to
experience significant cost savings by utilizing the SIDEKICK, a GPS vehicle
tracking device offered exclusively by Savannah River Technologies, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: SVHR).  C.J. Dean Roofing Inc., a mid-sized general
contracting firm in North Carolina, began investigating vehicle monitoring
devices during the third quarter of 1997. Shortly after installation of the
SIDEKICK, Chris Deans reported savings of $200 per day in payroll costs alone
by utilizing the vehicle monitoring device on twelve of his vehicles. "The
SIDEKICK tells me where my vehicles are every step of the way, and as a
result, we have seen an increase in productivity and lower operating costs,"
said Deans.
    The SIDEKICK provides fleet owners and managers the ability to essentially
travel with their vehicles, without actually begin there. Similar to a "black
box" in airplanes the unit automatically records date, time, location,
direction of travel, speeds, stops and stop details. Information is recorded
onto a PC card for uploading to a personal computer. SRT SIDEKICK Software
provides summary information about a particular trip's activity including
maximum speeds traveled, total miles traveled and total time on the road. By
utilizing various switches and sensors, the unit can also record other vehicle
functions such as the opening of doors or even seat occupancy.
    SRT is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor for the SIDEKICK.  In
addition to the exclusive license rights to the SIDEKICK, SRT holds the rights
to the improvement patent as well as the rights to the SIDEKICK software,
which is marketed along with the device. SRT is a public company whose stock
is traded under the symbol SVHR.  Information concerning the availability of
SRT stock may be obtained through Alpine Securities Corporation in Salt Lake
City, Utah. Additional information about SRT may be obtained by visiting
