Struthers, Inc. Begins Construction of New Boar Stud Facility in Minnesota 

Charleston, SC., November 18, 1999 - - Struthers, Inc. (OTC BB: STRU) began construction on a new stud boar facility located in Wells, Minnesota.

Struthers, Inc. has contracted with the building firms of Tolzmann Construction and Courtland Industries of Minnesota to construct the 1500 stud boar facility.

Construction will be completed in the first quarter of 2000. The facility will include two buildings, each housing Struthers’ elite boars, state of the art automated semen collection equipment, packaging laboratory and sterile operating rooms.

When fully operational the boar stud unit will produce over 1,800,000 doses of genetically superior semen per year. This is enough semen to inseminate 450,000 sows twice per year. Stud boars are now ready to enter the unit and semen production will begin immediately upon completion. Gross revenue projections within the first year of full operation from semen sales alone will approach $14,000,000.

Struthers, Inc. is capitalizing on the growth and technical innovations in Artificial Insemination and through its superior line of genetics will expand its market share worldwide in semen sales.

Artificial Insemination in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is currently at 48.5%. Industry analysis at the 4th International Conference on Boar Semen Preservation (Beltsville, MD. August 1999) reported that Artificial Insemination use would increase over natural breeding to 80 to 85% by the year 2001. *

Struthers, Inc. Business Model-Summary
Struthers’ business model is to create a “win-win-win” situation. The swine producers benefit, the packers benefit and the shareholder benefits. Through our alliances with our solid customer base and swineherds, Struthers, Inc. will supply semen, embryo transfers, breeding gilts, boars and our feed protocols to selected accounts. The swine producers then raise the animals, which are then sent to specific alliance packers who pay a premium for the consistent carcass quality.

Through these marketing alliances we will be in a position to capture 6%-10% of all market hog sales in North America within 24 months.

Through the formation of our alliances we will be a dominant profitable competitor in the porcine industry.

Best regards and thank you for supporting the company.

Know what you hold… it has exceptional value.

Research Investment Group Initiates Investment Opinion on Struthers, Inc. With a 12 Month Price Target of Over $2.00 Share CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 1999--A significantly undervalued biotechnology company with a unique new embryo transfer technology available to pork producers, who can now apply genetic engineering to help in producing lean, healthy, low-fat pork products; STRU projects 40% profit margins in a US$4+ billion dollar industry; based on achieving a 3% market share. Struthers' has a three to five year lead over its competitors!! ABOUT THE COMPANY Struthers, Inc. (OTC BB:STRU - news) is a biotechnology company focused on commercializing swine embryo transfer technology to sell its genetics worldwide. By combining its technology with the healthiest and highest-quality swine herds in North America (which, incidentally, are owned by STRU!!), Struthers is now able to market extremely lean, high quality animals to pork producers anywhere in the world. A FEW FACTS ABOUT PORK Most people are surprised to learn that pork is the largest source of meat protein in the world, with annual sales running about US$200 billion! In society's quest for healthy foods, low in fat and cholesterol, people have turned to chicken and fish. People have traditionally thought of pork as a fairly greasy and fatty meat. We think that people's perceptions about pork are about to change, and that they are going to change in a big way. Soon, the Struthers' name is going to become synonymous with a new healthy, low fat protein source - pork! Recently announced independent test results by Iowa Ham Canning, Inc. (regarded as one the largest private label processors of hams in the United States) prove conclusively that Struthers' pork is far superior to any other product offered anywhere in the world in terms of meat quality, color and leanness. The ham yield for each Struthers' pig was 59% - far above the industry-average yield of 48%. The average fat content of the STRU animals was a mere 1.2% compared to the industry average fat yield of 12.5%. Among the many other desirable world-class attributes of the Struthers herds are: consistently high yields of choice cuts of lean meat, reduced days to market (resulting in higher profits and reduced costs to hog producers), and, larger, healthier hogs (currently, the various swine diseases cost the pork industry up to 30% of its profits). The result of tests by Iowa Ham and other independent groups prove conclusively that STRU can consistently produce genetically superior swine and thus a much higher quality meat. WHAT'S NEXT FOR STRUTHERS? In a collaborative effort with the University of Missouri, STRU has recently begun training and certifying surgical technicians and veterinarians in the Struthers embryo transfer technology process. This is a major step in the commercialization of STRU's technology. Upon completion of the training process, Struthers will be able to work directly with its customers in producing and reproducing the highest quality swine herds. Remember that Struthers is the only company commercializing this revolutionary technology - STRU's competitors are at least three years behind in getting competing technologies to market. The icing on the cake is the fact that Struthers has acquired a world-class pedigree great-grandfather swine herd in North America, from which it will supply genetically superior hog embryos to clients worldwide. We understand that Struthers is very, very close to signing and announcing at least one, and possibly two (or more) major contracts with major international pork producers and suppliers of breeding stock. All indications are that STRU will be booking revenues by the first quarter of the year 2000.

Summary of Struthers, Inc. forecasted annual net sales revenues from the alliance:  (All figures in US$)

THE FUTURE FOR STRUTHERS, INC.

The North American hog market alone is capable of providing the bases for many alliances such as the one outlined above. The current management and Board of Directors of Struthers, Inc. are aware of both the opportunities and the risks associated with growth that is too rapid to be efficiently absorbed within the current corporate structure and capabilities. It is most encouraging to find that the current management has identified these business segments, the opportunities within each as outline above, and the management and the financing needs to effectively bring this all about.

It is not difficult to see estimated net sales revenues from all revenue sources, within 18 months to two years, being in excess of US$35,000,000. The North American hog slaughter is currently running just under 120,000,000 hogs annually. The annual sales revenues from the producer/packer/further processor alliance alone, outline above, are estimated in excess of US$20,000,000 in year 2, and involve just under 2,000,000 market hogs annually.

This is approximately 1.5% of the North American slaughter. Each additional 1% of the market gained is therefore equivalent to approximately US$16,000,000.

The value of the alliances, combined with the other opportunities identified with the miniature hogs, the research programs associated with the cryogenic embryo storage, and ventures with international partners, Struthers, Inc. has the potential to achieve annual revenues of US$50,000,000 within three to four years.

*** From the Desk of the Directors of Struthers, Inc. ***
George Bernard Shaw once wrote, "We are all dependent on one another, every
soul of us on earth." No individual ever built a corporation. One person may
have had a dream or idea but every corporation has been built with the
cooperative efforts of many individuals.

Struthers has succeeded by cooperating and working with many individuals,
without whom we could not have executed our action plan successfully.  As a
team we have created a new vision for this company, set new goals, planned
for its achievement, gathered many pieces of a great puzzle, put them in
order of importance, prepared for action and then took action!

As you have followed our success over the last year, you have seen that we
have progressed with exciting upside growth potential. As Directors we are
constantly using this stairway to success to build this business through:
- Forming business alliances through preparation and planning.
- Identifying and executing future growth plans in the swine industry.
- Making decisions that count and fulfilling our commitment to the
shareholders.

We believe, "it's not where you start, it's where you take it that makes all
the difference." We have assessed the swine industry thoroughly and we have
worked on the principal that just because you can't see it does not mean
that it is not out there. We are not just waiting to see where the future of
the swine industry is headed; we are defining it through the implementation
of our innovative solutions!

This newsletter contains what you, the shareholders, have been waiting
for... identification of profit centers: alliances through our new
subsidiary, research of new advanced technology previously unavailable in
the swine industry, personnel capable of quick innovative growth, and the
best swine genetics available in the world today. Together, we will take
Struthers into the next Millennium as a strong dominant profitable
competitor, utilizing carefully thought out strategies to guarantee that
everyone from the farmer to the shareholder becomes a winner.

*** Alliance with LSG/Norsvin Genetics ***
The Company is pleased to announce that Legred Genetics Inc., parent company
of LSG/Norsvin, has entered into an agreement with Struthers, Inc. to become
a part of Struther's wholly owned subsidiary to be known as Legred Struthers
Genetics (LSG). Legred Genetics is currently valued at over $5.2 million.
LSG/Norsvin's 3700 stud boar, sow and gilt operation has in excess of 7000
customers with ongoing sales agreements for semen, stud boars, and gilts.
LSG/Norsvin markets its swine-breeding program worldwide through artificial
insemination and nucleus breeding animals. LSG/Norsvin is noted for being a
leading international genetic development company selecting and breeding
swine for lean muscle, faster growth, lower feed conversion, and leaner
carcass. The animals consistently average over 60% lean meat content in less
than 140 days.

The current staff structure lead by President & geneticist Brent Legred will
remain in place while Struthers will increase the sales and marketing force
to meet expanding market demands. LSG/Norsvin's agreements with Norway's
largest swine genetic company, Norsvin, will remain in force and provides
Struthers with the unique opportunity for an immediate international
presence.

*** LSG/Norsvin Recognized By The National Pork Producers Council ***
The LSG/Norsvin Company was recently recognized by the National Pork
Producers Council as producer of the top percentage lean muscle volume pigs
in the nation. The National Pork Producers Council evaluation was taken from
26 of the nations largest packing plants, the top winners were recognized
from each of the 26 plants, they then compared the top hogs from each plant
against each other. The LSG/Norsvin pigs captured top honors overall with a
significant advantage in ham, loin, and percentage lean muscle.

*** Stud Boar Unit To Be Built ***
Due to the increase in demand for superior low disease incidence semen and
the dramatic rise towards the use of Artificial Insemination (AI), the
Company is building a Boar Stud Facility in Minnesota that will initially
house 400 A1 genetically superior Struthers stud boars. The facility will
contain a laboratory, storage units and automated packaging equipment for
the processing and sale of semen. The site has been approved for up to 1,500
boars for future expansion. The new facility, along with the alliance with
LSG/Norsvin, will increase the growth of the Company to one of the largest
single commercial stud units and semen providers in North America.

*** Embryo Transfers Begin ***
In order to expedite the growth of our new boar stud unit, Struthers will
utilize its own unique Embryo Transfer System combined with new semen sexing
techniques to transfer sexed embryos from superior pedigree gilts to
recipient sows. The production of all male or female prodigies is a major
advance in the industry. The procedures will be performed at Hoveland Farms.

*** Artificial Insemination In The Swine Industry ***
Artificial Insemination (AI) in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is
currently at 48.5%*.  Industry analysis at the 4th International Conference
on Boar Semen Preservation indicated that AI use will increase over natural
breeding to 80-85% by the year 2001. In 1999 an estimated 3.9 million sows
were inseminated which equates to 25 million inseminations per year. The
data was based on 56% current AI usage at 6.5 doses per sow per year.

Struthers, Inc., with its superior line of genetics, plans to capitalize on
the growth and technological innovations in the AI industry and expand it's
profitable market share in semen sales. The projected growth of this crucial
profit center is outlined in the Beswick Report. The Company offers several
benefits to the swine producer that includes; decrease cost of having to buy
and maintain stud boars, access to superior diversified genetics as well as
improvements in collection, storage and application that improve semen
viability and pregnancy rates.
* Statistics compiled from information reported by National Pork Producers
Council, USDA, Canadian Pork Council, and Statistics Canada.

*** Market Evaluation Completed ***
A.H. Beswick & Associates of North York, Ontario, has completed the market
evaluation on Struthers, Inc. The marketing report reflects the current
Company business model including the subsidiary of Legred Struthers
Genetics(LSG). The financial projections are for the next three fiscal
years.

Beswick states, "Struthers, Inc. is primarily involved in the marketing of
technologies associated with the hog herd genetics and the development of
sector alliances assembled to maximize the positive economic impact of the
improved hog genetics." Beswick concludes, "In today's highly competitive
processed pork market, consistent increased lean meat yield from primal pork
cuts is a major objective of pork processors."  The marketing analysis
forecast annual net sales and revenue from alliances:
Year One: $8,288,750
Year Two: $20,492,500
Year Three: $39,528,000
The condensed Beswick Marketing Evaluation on Struthers, Inc. is enclosed.

*** International Conference on Boar Semen Preservation ***
Held in Beltsville, MD August 8-11, the conference covered all aspects of
preserving boar semen, both frozen and liquid. The conference hosted over
300 delegates from over 20 countries. Dr. Lawrence Johnson of United States
Department of Agriculture / Agricultural Research Services said, "This
steady growth of interest in the preservation and artificial insemination
(AI) of Boar Semen is a reflection of growth in the AI industry particularly
in the past five years." Dr. Douglas Beatty, Mr. Richard Seabrook of
Struthers, Inc. and Mr. Brent Legred, President of LSG/Norsvin attended the
conference. While at the conference, the Directors of Struthers discussed
possible collaborations and viewed new technologies for use in the
preservation of semen and non-surgical implantation of embryos, which will
enhance our defined profit centers.

*** Grand Champion Market Hog ***
At the prestigious 1999 Upper Mid-West Multi-State District Swine Show a
member of the LSG/Norsvin team, Justin Olerud won overall Grand Champion for
Performance Market Hog. LSG/Norsvin and Struthers, Inc. would like to
congratulate Justin Olerud for winning the Grand Champion for overall
performance. Justin's LSG/Norsvin market gilt ranked #1 in all four
categories evaluated:
    #1 average daily gain
    #1 percentage of lean carcass
    #1 muscle quality and composition
    #1 live show
In the words of Judge Al Snedegar, Michigan State University Animal Science
Department, "Everyone take a good hard look, this is the best looking
performance animal that I have judged all summer." LSG/Norsvin pigs were
also very well represented by having the overall Grand Champion 4-H
Performance Barrow for the second straight year at the Minnesota State Fair.
With swine of this consistent genetic quality, you can see why Struthers,
Inc. is very excited about our new LSG/Norsvin line of animals and semen. We
are the future of swine production worldwide.

*** SPHC Herd To Aid In Development Of New Genetic Lines ***
The recently acquired SPHC herd in Canada will continue to play a major role
in the ongoing development of new lines of superior and valuable genetics.
SPHC will aid in the identification, development and production of new lines
of genetics from England, Ireland, and France. The new lines will allow
Struthers, Inc. to remain a world leader in the genetics business, improving
its already superior lines and adjusting to the continually changing swine
market as needed.

*** Research Grant Program ***
Struthers, Inc. has submitted to the USDA/SBIR the first of several grant
proposals for the creation and commercialization of a Low Disease Incidence
Miniature Swine Unit for the sale of animals to researchers, medical
facilities and pharmaceutical companies. Phase one will enhance the
viability rate of harvested embryos using our embryo washing media.
Anticipated results of Phase One is to further enhance our development of
swine embryos that are virtually pathogen free and whose viability rate
increase the likelihood of pregnancy and produce larger litter sizes. Phase
Two of the project is the development of a specialized low disease incidence
breed of hog for research sales. The Company has the collaborative efforts
of top swine academics and State agencies and through our meetings with
major research centers, have confirmed a large commercial demand.

*** New Team Member ***
Vanja Boljanovic joined the Struthers Team as our Administrative Assistant
on July 6, 1999. She brings with her an extensive background in the
administrative, financial and managerial fields, together with customer
service experience. We welcome her to Struthers. She has already proven to
be a valuable addition.

A message from Dr. Douglas Beatty, CEO, Struthers, Inc.

Our filing of Form 10 and related financials represents an important
milestone for the corporation.  It establishes a publicly available file
on Struthers, Inc. with the SEC. This registration document should
better position us to generate greater market interest from both
the domestic and the international financial communities.  In addition, we
look forward to disseminating detailed financial information about the
corporation to keep our investors and other interested parties informed
about critical corporation developments.

It's a particularly exciting time at Struthers, Inc., as we continue to
pursue our strategy of providing leading porcine genetics.  Our recent
acquisition of Legred Genetics, Inc./Norsvin, the formation of our herd
alliances, the research and development of non-surgical embryo transfers,
and our enhanced semen delivery system (to be introduced by us at the
World Pork Expo - June 2000) demonstrates our commitment to our
shareholders and the pork industry.  We look forward to the future as we
continue to grow the corporation's revenues and earnings.

The released Form 10 filing information is a "snapshot" of where the
corporation was up until December 31, 1999. During 1999 we invested in our
most important asset...  superior genetics (as Brent states, "we have
them... and the others don't").  This investment in infrastructure is the
foundation upon which we will build this corporation. This time-consuming
effort took many months to complete. As one can see by the developments
over the last number of months,  Struthers, Inc. has been growing it's
sales, staff, acquisitions, alliances with key corporations and
individuals, and most importantly our worldwide presence. The word is out
and we are being accepted as a key figure in the industry. We should all
be proud of the fact that we took this corporation from a research
and development entity, to a fully developed corporation with commercial
products and services.

Our Commitment to You

There is no relationship in our business more important to us then our
commitment to the members of the corporation, both clients and shareholders.
Through our open door policy, your letters, faxes, e-mails and telephone
calls, you have told us what we can do to better serve our market and
shareholder base.  I've read, listened, and understood what everyone
has said.  The true reason for Struthers' success is in the way we fulfill
the  obligations we have today and developing for tomorrow.  We also must
adapt to an ever changing and dynamic swine industry.

I speak for the corporation as whole when I say that our goal has always
been to offer our customers and shareholders the highest degree of quality
management and innovative products found anywhere in the porcine industry.
As we move forward, achieve goals, and remain committed, we will endeavor
to serve the interest of your corporation more effectively.

At Struthers, we've always strived to think outside of the box.  If new
programs or facilities were needed to obtain our desired results, we
went out and built them.  If new programs were needed to achieve a
desired end, such as a non-surgical embryo transfer, we found it and
improved on it.  Where live animals, semen sales and packer arrangements
already existed, we endeavored to improve upon them, without compromising
the confidentiality of our clients who are assisting and introducing us to
new and exciting markets.

Struthers is in the process of growing and changing from "small" and "great"
to "big and best".  As Rhett comments, "We are not just another Genetics
Company".  We've grown the corporation on the following sound principals:

* Understanding our role as leaders in the porcine industry
* Decide what we do best and improve upon them
* Think outside of the box
* Hire the best talent
* Make alliances with those who will work with us to develop an unstoppable
  team of producers and customers
* Take complicated biological concepts, simplify them and make them affordable
* Never forget that quality is a priority
* Focus on services we can offer to producers and consumers
* Develop cutting edge technology and introduce it to the swine industry
  safely and quickly

In closing, I would like to add that the attitude you choose toward life
and everything it brings you will determine whether you realize your
aspirations. Your talent and ability and those who you surround yourself
with, determine what you are capable of achieving. What you attempt to do
is determined by motivation. How well you do something is determined by
your attitude. Our attitude, motivation and determination are to change
and introduce new technologies, enter into niche markets to support the
pork and other industries. We are growing our identified profit centers,
not tomorrow but TODAY.  We have the lead in this industry and we
will capitalize on it.

Remember, there was once an astronomer who said, "the earth is the
center of our universe"... people maintained he was wrong! There were folks
who said, "we will never get to the moon"... they were wrong.  "The earth is
flat"... wrong again! Eighteen months ago, some said that what we were years
away from introducing industry changing technology, products and standards. 
I believe that many of you would agree that they were wrong also.  I am
delighted to have you on our team and I invite you to continue to grow with
us.

My deepest respect,

Douglas W. Beatty, Ph.D.
President/CEO
Struthers, Inc.

PS. Doctors recommendation:  It has been a long week.  Please take some
time this weekend to relax with your family and friends or to reflect on
just how far we really have come in just a very short time. Feel confident
