Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg, Manitoba
August 11, 2006

AGROTAIN International LLC and Philom Bios Inc. wish to advise their joint customers of their intention to conclude the exclusive marketing agreement for sale of AGROTAIN products in Canada. Under the term of this
agreement, Philom Bios will continue to hold exclusive marketing and sales rights up to December 31, 2006 with provision for a further ten months past that date of nonexclusive sales rights.

Calvin Sonntag, Philom Bios Inc. President/CEO, comments,”We have enjoyed serving our existing and new customers in the Stabilized Nitrogen market and our relationship with AGROTAIN International. This change doesn’t impact our future operations or business strategies. We remain committed to serving the needs of our customers with our leading proprietary fertility efficiency tools today and look forward with excitement to further product developments that promise to serve their evolving needs.”

Norm Davy, Canadian Market Manager AGROTAIN International LLC, states, “The team at Philom Bios Inc has done a good job in the last three years of growing our business in Canada. As we assume a direct marketing role in this market in 2007 and recognizing the growing acceptance of Stabilized Nitrogen technologies in all global markets, AGROTAIN International LLC is committed to scaling up resources in people and capital to best serve our customers’ needs”.

Mike Stegmann, President AGROTAIN International LLC., comments, “Our Agricultural business continues to grow and to maximize its efficiencies we needed to remove the differing border channel strategies within our North American Ag Group. This change will bring significant efficiencies within our organization and help us deliver a much more seamless high value offer to our North American customers.”
