ACCU-BREAK Pharmaceuticals, Inc. & Strides Arcolab Limited Enter into a Worldwide Joint Venture to Develop Generic Pharmaceuticals Using ACCU-BREAK(TM) Technologies.

PLANTATION, Fla.& BANGALORE, India -- ACCU-BREAK Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Strides Arcolab Limited, one of India's largest manufacturers and exporters of pharmaceutical products, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to set up a worldwide Joint Venture Company (JVC) to develop generic products using the patent pending ACCU-BREAK(TM) technologies. This will be accomplished through a NEWCO to be called ACCU-STRIDES, a 50:50 JVC. It is anticipated that the JVC will outsource from Strides an exclusive product pipeline of generic and ANDA products in finished dosage forms. It is also anticipated that the JVC will outsource from ACCU-BREAK Pharmaceuticals sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for the North American markets while Strides will provide sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for the rest of the world. The product dossiers developed for the JVC by Strides will be owned exclusively by the JVC.

ACCU-BREAK(TM) tablets are designed for maximal dose accuracy when split, as well as for ease of breaking and to provide an optimal dosage for the millions of patients who split the tablets.

Currently, Strides has a total of fourteen manufacturing plants worldwide including an FDA approved plant in Bangalore, India where the ACCU-BREAK products will be manufactured. It is expected that the products using the ACCU-BREAK technologies will be developed for regulatory submission worldwide beginning in FY 2007.

Lawrence Solomon, M.D., Chairman & CEO of ACCU-BREAK Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stated, "ACCU-BREAK tablets are "Simply Better(TM)" because they are "Made to be Broken(TM)" or taken intact. ACCU-BREAK products are designed to provide an unprecedented degree of dosage flexibility by allowing easy and very accurate tablet breaking when a partial dose is desired. ACCU-BREAK products will have important quality advantages over standard products and in addition will allow for cost savings."

Arun Kumar, Vice-Chairman and Group CEO of Strides stated, "The ACCU-BREAK - Strides JVC is a true reflection of the "Strides Value" partnership model. Using our niche manufacturing and product development skill sets, Strides will ramp-up the product pipeline to leverage various ACCU-BREAK technologies to create a worldwide specialty generic pharmaceutical company. We will work towards creating critical mass for the JVC and significant value to all stakeholders."
