Corporate Development:

Collaboration Agreement

On July 14th, Innovotech announced a collaboration agreement (the "Agreement") with a global medical device company on InnovoSIL(TM)-1, which management believes is a significant agreement for the Company as it improves the potential of our complex silver periodate molecule advancing toward commercial development. This Agreement will see InnovoSIL(TM) -1 receive research targeted at advancing it toward applications in various medical devices. Quarterly payments receivable under the Agreement will contribute to our net income. Patent costs will now largely be paid for by our partner in the Agreement. We look forward to the results of continuing R&D on InnovoSIL(TM)-1.

Right to Acquire 60% of Nou Life

On August 17th, the Company acquired the right (but not the obligation) to earn a 60% interest in Nou Life Sciences Inc. whose only asset is a patent on the linking of alpha lipoic acid and L-carnitine into one molecule for improved penetration through human skin to obtain deeper subdermal delivery of the two anti-oxidants. This earn-in acquisition is in our biotech space and is part of a plan to see Innovotech invest in or otherwise access early beach heads in consumer markets that are larger than our contract research business allows for. Work on the Nou Life linked anti-oxidants has commenced. Innovotech is required to provide $100,000 in R&D investment to close the acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval.

Financing

On September 2nd, Innovotech received final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for the close of a private placement. At the close, Innovotech raised $375,000 through the issuance of 1,875,000 units at a price of 20 cents per unit. Each unit was composed of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant, and one whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of 25 cents for a period of three years following the date of closing. There are certain warrant acceleration rights should Innovotech stock trade at $0.40 for 30 calendar days.

Management and Staff Event

On September 24th, management and staff of Innovotech reached 100,000 laboratory hours without a single lost time accident. We are all very proud of this and we know shareholders will join us in congratulating and thanking our team for a stellar performance during a uniquely difficult year.

Subsequent Events:

Activity continued into October, and on the 16th of that month Innovotech agreed to acquire a $150,000 8% convertible debenture of CanBiocin Inc. in return for 625,000 Innovotech shares at a deemed value of $0.24 (subject to regulatory authority) Through acquisition of this asset, the Company will extend its reach into the large probiotics market segment, in this case for companion and farm animals, while earning annual interest income of $12,000.

On October 30th, the Company repaid a $100,000 6% shareholder loan thus saving $6,000 of annual interest costs. On October 8th and November 2nd, payments reduced the CEBA loan balance to $30,000.
