LOS ANGELES, April 26, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Innovation Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:IVHOE) announced today it had entered into a preliminary letter of intent with CrossGel, Inc., a privately-held Utah corporation (www.CrossGel.com), through an exclusive strategic marketing agreement whereby IVHO would create all media and marketing for the CrossGel firm and possibly lead to a prospective merger of the two companies. CrossGel is the manufacturer of ergonomic seat cushions utilizing a revolutionary new cushioning technology. The CrossGel technology consists of a thermal ultra-soft polymer gel, which offers a revolutionary cushioning comfort. CrossGel absorbs about 95% of all vibration, allowing a user to sit more comfortably for longer periods of time with little restriction of blood flow. Its molecular structure behaves differently under pressure than foam, springs or fibrous material, allowing pressure to flow away from areas of greatest pressure reducing pain and discomfort.
Robert Blagman, Chief Executive Officer of IVHO, stated, "We are excited about the opportunities for both of our companies in launching this new marketing campaign. We are impressed with CrossGel's management, the technology, and numerous applications of its products." When asked about the prospects for a further more definitive alliance between the companies, Barry McCann, Chief Executive Officer of CrossGel, added, "We feel this marketing alliance will bring value to the shareholders of both companies and we look forward to a mutually beneficial business relationship that fully realizes upon the synergism between the companies and those in its comparative market sectors."
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote had effectuated a 1 for every 500 shares outstanding reverse stock split which was handled electronically through Signature Stock Transfer, Inc. The new trading symbol for the Company is "IVHO." The Company said that it effectuated the reverse split in an effort to foster shareholder value and to enable the Company to move forward with its efforts to acquire several proposed target entities.
