Integrated Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces New Product Development and Signs a License and Exclusive Supply Agreement FITCHBURG, Mass., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC:INTP) announced today that it has developed a proprietary technology for making hot drinks healthier and more nutritious. The new technology involves a system for providing nutrients such as calcium in coffee and tea in a manner that does not noticeably affect the taste or flavor of the beverage. The Company's patent-pending technology can be applied to several other applications that will allow beverage companies to deliver healthy products to consumers at an affordable price. Integrated Pharmaceuticals (IntePharm) also announced that it has signed a non-exclusive license and an exclusive product supply agreement with a distributor for the coffee additive. The agreement permits the distributor to purchase IntePharm's coffee product and sell it under its own brand name. The agreement requires the distributor to purchase the product only from Integrated Pharmaceuticals. The distributor signed the license agreement after testing coffee product samples and completing a field application trial. To the best of IntePharm's knowledge, no other manufacturer has a similar product on the market. The distributor has told IntePharm that it expects to purchase approximately $2.5 million of the coffee product in first year after product launch, which IntePharm expects will occur during the second quarter of 2005. IntePharm is currently finalizing arrangements for the packaging of this product, which the licensee will pay for separately. IntePharm is exploring other potential licensing opportunities for the beverage products made possible by its new technology, and hopes that this product line will be a major contributor to its growth. "We are excited to have this licensing and sales agreement signed based on the strong intellectual property portfolio of the Company," said Dr. Chinmay Chatterjee, CEO of Integrated Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Chatterjee said further "IntePharm could achieve this progress only because of the purity of the products which are manufactured in the Fitchburg facility in MA using the Company's patented technologies." Integrated Pharmaceuticals recently commenced production at its facility in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and expects to begin shipping product in June pursuant to its previously announced five- year, $30 million supply agreement with FragChem.
