RNS Number:9909I UTEK Corporation 15 September 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 15 September 2006 UTEK CORPORATION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TO LIBERTY DIVERSIFIED HOLDINGS, INC. Transfer includes licences for new packaging technologies Tampa, FL & Orange, CA - UTEK Corporation (AMEX & LSE-AIM: UTK) a specialty finance company focused on technology transfer, and Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: LDHI), a holding company in the printing and packaging industry, have completed a technology transfer in a stock-for-stock transaction. The technology transferred includes two licences for technologies developed by researchers at the University of Arkansas. The first technology is an all-natural, edible antimicrobial packaging film, which has been designed to protect consumers against common food-borne illnesses caused by pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli. In addition the transfer contains a licence for a variable image packaging film that can potentially double the viewable surface area of packaging products by allowing the film to transmit two separate images. A change in the perceived image is accomplished using a series of lenticular lenses to compress areas of an original image and refract them at a specified angular range, achieving a 'flash' effect for customers traveling past the products. Ronald Touchard, Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc., said, "We are enthusiastic about completing the acquisition of these new technologies. We believe these novel technologies, combined with a newly planned aggressive marketing approach for MCR and other possible acquisitions in the packing industry, will allow us to expand market share at a much faster pace than previously possible." "UTEK is pleased to consummate this technology transfer with Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. and we look forward to continuing our efforts to provide additional technology acquisition opportunities for their consideration," said Jennifer Willis, Manager of Technology Licensing at UTEK Corporation. Terms of the transaction Innovative Packaging Technologies, Inc., a company established by UTEK specifically for this transaction, has been acquired by Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc., in a tax-free stock-for-stock exchange. Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. issued 15,437,500 shares of unregistered common stock to UTEK Corporation in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Innovative Packaging Technologies, Inc. The shares acquired in the exchange are restricted and may only be resold pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The value of the consideration will be determined based on a valuation in accordance with UTEK's valuation policy as of the closing date of the transaction. About Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc.

These forward-looking statements are only made as of the date of this press release and both UTEK and Liberty Diversified Holdings, Inc. do not undertake any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. UTEK's operating results could fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors. These factors include the small number of transactions that are completed each quarter, the value of individual transactions, the timing of the recognition and the magnitude of unrealised gains and losses, UTEK's dependence on the performance of companies in its portfolio, the possibility that advances in technology could render the technologies it has transferred obsolete, the loss of technology licences by companies in its portfolio, the degree to which it encounters competition in its markets, the volatility of the stock market and the volatility of the valuations of the companies it has invested in as it relates to its realised and unrealised gains and losses, the concentration of investments in a small number of companies, as well as other general economic conditions. As a result of these and other factors, current results may not be indicative of UTEK's future performance.
