15 June 1999

United Recyclers Group and Actual Systems of America Introduce Unique Parts Locating System for All Recyclers
               Over 1,400,000 Parts on Pinnacle Gateway System

    DENVER -- United Recyclers Group (URG) and Actual Systems of America (ASA) 
are proud to announce the Pinnacle Gateway Parts Locating System for all recyclers.  
This new Pinnacle(TM) Gateway system gives instant access to over one million 
URG premium auto parts and is the only parts location system which maintains 
graded parts on a recyclers computer.

    Pinnacle(TM) is the Auto Recycler Inventory Management System that was
designed by URG's Partners.  URGNet(TM) is just one of many features of the
Pinnacle(TM) that allows users to instantaneously access and share their
inventories.  Over 60 URG Partners are now using the Pinnacle(TM) and
URGNet(TM).

    URG is a group of over 350 auto recyclers throughout the U.S. and Canada
that participated and paid for in the development of the Pinnacle(TM) Auto
Recycling Trading System (PARTS(TM)).  This system has been designed by
recyclers for recyclers.

    Over 1.4 million parts are on Pinnacle's(TM) Gateway system today.
Recyclers can now access all Pinnacle(TM) users' inventory, including graded
URG premium parts, which are gathered and distributed to the Pinnacle(TM)
Gateway systems every night.  The system features the Pinnacle's(TM) sales
screens, so parts look-ups are extremely easy and allow users to look up
multiple parts at the same time.  After the part(s) are found, an e-mail can
be sent directly from the sales screen to the URG recycler with the request
for more information.

    Newly appointed ASA President and COO, Warren Nichols says "Pinnacle
Gateway is designed for auto recyclers who are not using the Pinnacle
Inventory Management System but want the ability to locate quality parts in
the most efficient and cost effective way possible."  He adds, "Pinnacle
Gateway represents a great step forward in allowing recyclers to utilize
state-of-the-art technology in the their day to day business."

    The system is shipped, ready to plug-and-play and use with full
installation and user documentation.  This system is available to all
recyclers, URG partnership is not required!
