I hope you are not insinuating TCBG is a scam? Earl

ITKG - News, FYI................. INTEGRAL CLARIFIES TEST RESULTS OF ITS CTHA ANTENNA San Diego, California: INTEGRAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NASD.OTC.BB: ITKG) ("Integral") announces a clarification of the successful independent testing and validation of its Contrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna (CTHA) in cooperation with General Atomics Corp. (General) a research and development firm located in San Diego, California. The results of this testing were previously announced in a news release issued by the company in June, 1998. The testing of the CTHA antenna was conducted by Composite Optics, Inc. (Composite) a contractor of General, in Composite's anechoic chamber located in Rancho Bernardo, California. Testing Procedures A previous version of the CTHA was attached to the bottom right hand side of a Samsung PCS phone. The CTHA was not optimized to the specifications of the Samsung phone for the purpose of this test. The full text of the observations and conclusions drawn by Composite Optics from this test will be available at Integral's web site as soon as possible, the address of which is shown below. Certain relevant observations and conclusions are as follows: Observations: 1/ The CTHA exhibited nearly perfect omni-directionality around the azmith which was slightly better than the factory unit. 2/ The CTHA exhibited an omni-directional pattern through certain elevations, which was markedly better than the factory-installed antenna. 3/ Overall the CTHA performed on par or slightly ahead of the factory-installed antenna. Conclusions: 1/ The CTHA appears to be an appropriate replacement technology for conventional mobile communications systems. 2/ Performance of the CTHA is comparable to or exceeds conventional antenna technology. 3/ Given certain eminent improvements in matching the CTHA to the radios, the sensitivity of the CTHA is likely to double or nearly double. 4/ The CTHA is electrically very small and quite efficient. 5/ The very small physical form factor of the CTHA should make it very attractive to mobile communications systems design engineers. The CTHA can be embedded in communications devices, thus avoiding the risks of damage to or loss of the antenna and facilitating ease of use. 6/ In other applications where the handset is required to communicate with an airborne or orbital platform, the CTHA clearly performs better than a conventional monopole; figures from this test indicate that the CTHA is approximately 800% more sensitive than the monopole when "talking up". 7/ Design of mobile wireless communications devices would benefit by including the CTHA as a candidate for new systems given its size and performance as illustrated in these initial tests. Impact of the foregoing: It is the opinion of Integral management that in consideration of the foregoing, this antenna will provide superior cost, ease of use, and power performance for the fastest growing segment of the multi-billion dollar wireless communications industry, as well as for other antenna applications requiring small size and enhanced performance. Management is of the opinion that with recent dramatic developments in the design and performance capabilities of the CTHA, coupled with the optimization of the CTHA to the pertinent application, the result would be performance capabilities of the CTHA far exceeding those of standard antenna technologies. In connection with the new management team's corporate objectives, an update of the recent operating activities of its subsidiary Emergent Technologies Corp. will be made available to the public imminently. Included in this update will be an account of recent technological advances in the CTHA antenna and a contract status report. Integral Technologies, Inc. is in the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing a variety of technologies including antenna systems, a plasma ignition system with a variety of industrial and automotive applications, and 2D(dimensional) and 3D imaging systems for quality control and counterfeit detection. Through its subsidiary Emergent Technologies Corporation, Integral holds a license from West Virginia University for the development and commercialization of the Contrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna for the worldwide government and military markets. Integral, which is not presently a "reporting" company, intends to file its Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practical following the completion of the Company's audited financials. The reader is advised that this release contains forward looking statements of the Company and a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed. Additional information regarding those factors is available upon request.
