Smokefree Innotec, Inc. Nears Launch of Revolutionary Electronic Cigarette

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Smokefree Innotec, Inc. today provided updated information on the launch of its cigarette alternative that operates differently than any other e-cigarette in the market. Thomas Schroepfer, President of Smokefree Innotec, stated, “Our new product will be the world’s first completely smoke-free, ‘hi-tech’ cigarette. Whereas the competitors’ products yield a smoky vapor and have a light at the tip end imitating the fire in a traditional cigarette, inhaling our ‘Real Smoke-free’ e-cigarette yields exclusively nicotine and aroma.” Mr. Schroepfer went on to say, “The most significant distinction between the Real Smoke-free e-cigarette and its competitors is that the Smokefree Innotec product does not utilize cartridges filled with transponder substances and nicotine. We use a slightly adapted, yet traditional, cigarette filter with nicotine interspersed through nanotechnology – enough to emulate the satisfaction of a traditional cigarette, but in a much lower dosage – and produced in Germany subject to rigid quality-control standards.”

The Real Smoke-free “hi-tech cigarette” will be introduced in August in test markets in the USA, Germany and Belgium, and will become widely available in a rollout beginning in September in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil, Australia, Greece and Argentina followed by worldwide distribution in 2010.

Company Overview

Smokefree Innotec, Inc.

(OTC.PK: SFIO)

Smoke Free Innotec Inc. “Smokfree Cigarette” is targeted for use by smokers in smoking
restricted areas like offices, airplanes, restaurants, other public places, in homes, around children
and other unhealthy areas. SFI will facilitate those smokers, who do not want to quit, and want to
continue smoking in an increasingly restrictive and sometimes hostile public environment. In any
environment where second hand smoke is a problem. There is absolutely no smoke generated. The
smokeless cigarette is a one-time cost and the disposable filters would be approximately same price
as a pack of cigarettes.


Technical Aspects and Patent Application


When the smoker starts “smoking” he/she takes the smokeless cigarette and inserts a filter, which
contains the aroma and the nicotine, and then takes the first drag. The sensor signals the consequent
‘under-pressure’ to a mini processor unit in the cigarette, which heats up the incoming air the
moment the smoker starts inhaling. The heated air evaporates the nicotine and aroma at exactly the
right temperature within the filter and then the mix is inhaled by the smoker giving the satisfaction
of taste (generated by the smell) and the desired effect of nicotine to the body. The built-in sensor
distinguishes whether the smoker sucks on the filter or not. The pressure triggers the intensive
heating up of the coil to evaporate the nicotine and aroma in the filter. The key to this process is the
instant heating of the air, which is patentable.


A Swiss and European patent attorney stated in a letter to the Company, “I herewith confirm that we
have filed on 10 May 2008 the international patent application successfully with the International
Bureau of WIPO in

Geneva
”. Worldwide patent protection is the Company’s target.


Organizational Structure


SFI is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee USA, but has established offices and teams in Shanghai, China for R & D and manufacturing; Zurich, Switzerland to coordinate the German speaking territories;
Antwerp

,
Belgium
for international marketing and distribution.

Market Size and Marketing Strategy



Worldwide annual consumption of cigarettes stands at 5.5 trillion. In the

US
the dollar amount is $1.8 trillion per annum. There is a minor decline in the western world, but smoking is increasing in the developing countries, especially in Africa,

China


and the other countries in the Far East Contracts have already been put in place with retail distribution companies in pilot markets in Europe . After the pilot test marketing, the smokeless cigarette will be introduced in most countries in the European Union including

Spain


,

Italy


,

Germany


,

France


,

United Kingdom


and Scandinavia Following the European Union, key markets will be entered in the
Americas

,
China

,
Korea

and

Japan

SFI intends to enter into cooperation with an international advertising agency with respect to the looks of its packaging, advertising and point of sale presentations.





Funding Requested and Source


The members of management and friends of management have funded the development of the
product over the last few years to the tune of $2,500,000.


Now that the R & D has been completed, SFI is seeking $8,000,000 during 2009 to launch the

manufacturing and first phase marketing with the first tranche of $2,500,000 in the second quarter
followed by $5,500,000 in the third quarter. Another $8,000,000 is requested for 2010 to support
the second phase marketing program.


An investment banker, Kings Pointe Capital, Inc, located in California has been hired to raise the

required funds by merging SFI into a public shell and obtaining the investment capital through the
selling of public stock under a private placement program. Kings Pointe working with Dallas Jones
Associates has the funding commitment from their investment sources once SFI is a public
company, which is planned to be accomplished by the end of 2008.


Electronic Cigarette Parts


(Three parts: EC body, filter and lighter looking charger)



EC Body


A battery inside the EC body may be recharged before the first use, even it has
some voltage volume when it is from factory. How to charge it,
please read section USAGE.


Filter


The filter contains the right amount of nicotine and aroma which is
vaporized by the heated air from the coil as the user sucks on the filter.


Charger


Charger is used to charge EC battery. It combines a 220V AC external adapter, a USB cable and a
charger. Thanks to a built-in 600mAh Li-Polymer battery in the charger, the charger ensures it can
directly charge to EC battery in about 3 or 4 times without external adapter.
When LEDs flicker alternately between red and green, it indicates that the charger battery itself
needs to be recharged. This can be done by an external adapter or computer via USB cable.


Usage of Charger to Charge EC


Open the charger, put EC (without filter) into it and
close charger cover, it begins to charge EC.


Charging the internal Charger Battery


If LEDs flickering alternately between red and green, which means that charger battery voltage is
lower. So, an adapter or a computer will be used to charge the charger battery.

Connecting charger to external power supplier


There are two ways to connect charger to external power supplier:
A 220V AC adapter to the charger; or a USB cable to computer port.

Note:

USB cable is for connecting charger to adapter or to computer. USB cable is one side as
standard port to adapter or to computer, and MINI-USB port for other side to charger.
