DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2004

Hard to Treat Diseases Incorporated ("HTTD") (Pink Sheets:HTDS) announced today that the Company has finalized the sale of its recycling division assets.

The Company previously announced that it signed a letter of intent to sell the recycling division assets. HTTD completed the sale of the recycling assets to International Foam Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("IFS") for $250,000 in the form of a secured promissory note payable within one year, and 20% of the stock of IFS. The purchasing company is controlled by Harvey Katz, a former officer of International Foam Solutions and a current consultant to HTTD. IFS has the technology and resources to aggressively expand and to move the recycling division to the next level.

Mr. Colm J. King, the President and CEO of Hard to Treat Diseases, Inc. stated: "The board of directors has chosen the best financial alternative to increase the value of HTTD. The strategic reason for selling the assets was to remove a non-core business division, which will allow HTTD to focus exclusively on operating as a Bio Tech Company with unparalleled potential. HTTD is expanding and freeing up logistical, operational and financial resources. The financial advantages to be realized from selling the assets were to create operating capital, to increase the revenue stream from the recycling division in the future, and to allocate all HTTD financial resources toward the advancement of Tubercin(R)."

Mr. King added: "IFS will have the full attention of its own management team to move IFS forward with its new structure, recycling experience, industry contacts and capital. HTTD will rely on the IFS executives to communicate with shareholders."
