Integral Adds Former Chief of U.S. Congressional Budget Liaison Office to Its Board of Advisors.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 1999-- Integral Technologies, Inc. ("INTEGRAL"), (OTC BB:ITKG), today announces the appointment of Mr. Charles Feldmayer to the company's Board of Advisors.

Feldmayer is a retired U.S. Army Colonel having completed a wide variety of assignments during his military career of over thirty years. Feldmayer's last five years of service were spent at the Pentagon as the Chief of the Congressional Budget Liaison Office, where he was responsible for liaison with the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.

Feldmayer will focus his primary efforts on INTEGRAL'S antenna subsidiary Emergent Technologies Corp. ("EMERGENT") which holds an exclusive license from West Virginia University on all worldwide government and military applications of the Contrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna ("CTHA"). The CTHA is a new, patented antenna technology with broad applicability in the mobile wireless communications industry. EMERGENT develops and continues with ongoing research for the CTHA. Feldmayer will assist EMERGENT in identifying funding sources and applications for the CTHA, within all sectors of the U.S. Military. Feldmayer will also assist EMERGENT in the completion of various research and development and production contracts, currently in progress at EMERGENT on behalf of various U.S. government agencies.

Since his retirement from the U.S. Military, Feldmayer has achieved success in assisting companies with new technologies or products, to secure research and development funding and procurement contracts, from U.S. government agencies. Feldmayer advises clients on business development strategies, including the formulation of comprehensive legislative strategies so as to benefit the client's interest in both commercial and government sectors. He also provides clients in the defense industry with government affairs and business development support. Feldmayer identifies business opportunities by helping clients to match defense department needs with their technical solutions.

During his tenure at the Pentagon, Feldmayer assisted in developing successful strategies for justifying a $64 billion budget before the U.S. Congress. His efforts in the development and execution of these strategies resulted in $2 to $3 billion annual increases over the president's budget. Feldmayer's focus was on Army procurement, research and development, operations, personnel and military construction issues. Prior to his work with the Congressional Budget Liaison Office, he served in the Army Budget Office as the Deputy Director of Investments for the U.S. Army and was responsible for providing budget and program management oversight army-wide, for all procurement research and development and construction efforts. He is a recognized expert on the acquisition and budget process of the U.S. federal government.

Mr. Jack Parsons, who had a long career with the U.S. Military and has been the president of EMERGENT since its inception, said," Mr. Feldmayer's assistance will prove invaluable to EMERGENT in its goal to see the CTHA form a critical component of the wireless communication infrastructure within the U.S. Military. The utilization of wireless communication devices will empower military personnel through the provision of more timely and accurate information." He continued, "It is my opinion that the result would be a higher level of safety for military personnel and more effective military action."

Upon the completion of his due diligence of INTEGRAL'S two other technologies, the Plasma Ignition System and the Counterfeit Currency Detection System, it is anticipated that Feldmayer will introduce these two technologies to certain U.S. government agencies.

The Plasma Ignition System has been acquired by INTEGRAL through a license agreement from West Virginia University. It is a new patented ignition system for internal combustion engines, adaptable to virtually any existing internal combustion engine. It produces a larger "spark" area than conventional spark plugs, so it burns fuel more efficiently and is more effective at ignition lean-burn mixtures. Environmental agencies would potentially see a benefit to this technology as it reduces pollution and improves fuel-efficiency. This system is ideal for use in automobiles or any another device, which requires an ignition source.

The Counterfeit Currency Detection System has also been acquired by INTEGRAL through a license agreement from West Virginia University. It is a device, which will create a new category of counterfeit detection by employing spectral analysis of the bill and sophisticated numerical algorithms. As a digital device -- unlike all predecessors -- the system can be programmed to scan and validate printed documents, including currencies, passports, tickets, and other secure or valuable documents. The entire device can be produced in a package roughly the size of a credit card swipe unit. Scan rates of up to 1 per second have been achieved in early prototypes; speeds of 10 per second are thought possible this year. The unit is a combination of generic hardware (mini-lasers and computer processors) and proprietary software.

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.
