Datascension Inc. Mandatory Certificate Exchange Progressing.

Business Editors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2004

The mandatory stock certificate exchange for Datascension Inc., (OTCBB:DTSNV), formerly known as Nutek, Inc. is progressing as planned.

Many certificates have already been received by Datascension's transfer agent, Transfer Online, Inc., to start processing the exchange for certificates bearing the new CUSIP number, Company name and the beneficial owner's name. The first round of certificates is expected to be mailed to shareholders and brokers next week.

Datascension instituted the mandatory certificate exchange as it changed its name from Nutek, Inc. to Datascension Inc., its CUSIP number to 238111108 and trading symbol to DTSN on January 26, 2004.

Concurrently, the Company's trading temporarily changed to a "when issued" status, symbolized by a "V" added to the end of the ticker symbol, to alert and allow sufficient time for brokerages, clearing houses and investors to exchange the Company's stock certificates for new certificates bearing the new Company name, CUSIP number and names of the beneficial owners. (Brokers: please refer to NASDAQ's January 30, 2004 UNIFORM PRACTICE ADVISORY UPC # 015-2004) While the stock is in a "when issued" status, the SEC T+3 requirement for settlement of trades within three business days is suspended. As soon as the "when issued" status is removed, the "V" will be removed from the ticker symbol and all unsettled trades will require immediate settlement. All trades will then be required to comply with T+3 settlement rules.

NASDAQ will lift Datascension Inc.'s "when issued" status when certificates representing a sufficient number of shares have been exchanged. The timing of this is entirely dependent upon how quickly the stock certificates are sent in for exchange. The Company has spoken with the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the situation is being monitored so as to insure compliance with these rules and the timely removal of the "V" from the ticker symbol.

"The 'when issued' status is one of many positive happenings occurring in the Company," explained Murray Conradie, CEO of Datascension Inc. "Our name change to Datascension Inc., illustrates our move to focus on a single industry that has proven to be profitable. Nutek, Inc., now Datascension, Inc., has been profitable for the past eight consecutive quarters, primarily due to the Datascension International subsidiary's data collection and market research business. Additionally, we've been meticulously executing our strategic growth plan to increase shareholder value, recently opening a new facility in the Dominican Republic and expanding our call center facility in Costa Rica. These actions enable us to accommodate new data collection and market research business we've already contracted and to provide capacity for further growth."

As part of the name change, CUSIP number change and ticker symbol change, all issued and outstanding shares of Nutek's current common stock MUST be exchanged for new certificates bearing the name Datascension Inc., and the name of the beneficial owner, or these shares will be void, shall not entitle the certificate holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation, and shall be deemed worthless, non-transferable and non-tradable in any public or private market or exchange after April 25, 2004.

"We thank our shareholders, the transfer agent, and the brokerage community for their continued patience and support during the mandatory certificate exchange procedure," noted Conradie. "We understand that this is a time-consuming task for all involved, but it is a necessary part of our effort to protect and enhance shareholder value and grow the company with a singular focus."
