The Halting Emergence of the Better Mouse Trap...




25 April 2007
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


Hi there:

I have been following the stock for a while now and it seems to have come to a stand still position. There is one question that has been puzzling me regarding this technology. From what I understand, the conductivity in the plastic is achieved by metal, so I can appreciate that Integral has found a better way to mix or achieve better dispersion which makes their solution more conductive than other plastic of that type. However how can it be as conductive as metal but lighter?

If the conductive material is metal then would it not seem obvious that to achieve similar level of conductivity you would require the same mass of metal?

Also, from what I have read on conductive plastic the biggest difficulties is dispersion of the conductive matter during the molding process, has anybody seen any ElectriPlast parts? Do they have difficulties in achieving consistency in the end product, which would explain their silence?

Really this story does seem too good to be true, is it a scam?

Thanks for your thoughts

EB Reader,

Thanks for the question. Your timing is pretty good, I just wrote a...well, a rather long missive to a group of friends regarding the silence presently in place, and my view on the issues difficulties, or consolations taking place at this point behind the scenes.

Before going further on that point though, let me note that while ElectriPlast has conductive properties equal to, or better than it’s metal comparison – this is a fact that has been stated repeated, the pending 3rd party tests will bear this reality out in time…

As for how it can be better, well from various interviews given, it is known that this is a unique mix of materials, which when compiled in a specialized fashion, uses micron sized filaments that are in some manner situated in a specialized lattice.

This gives the ElectriPlast material both its tensile strength and lightweight, in addition to its conductive, or as required, its resistive potential.

Granted, this is the simplistic perspective, but I think it answers the gist of your question.

As for the story being a scam – consider this, who’s reputation will be damaged more if it is?

Integral, the creator of the IP, and patent holder… Or JARCO, almost an 80 million dollar a year, employee owned company who has invested time, equipment, security and man-power all aimed to the successful kick-off of this innovative potential. More to the point, JARCO wants to multiply their profits five fold in the next few years, and is fast becoming the Center of the ElectriPlast universe. They have already sunk a healthy amount of time, energy, and clout behind this new direction, and have uncovered solid benefits not yet disclosed.

My spider-sense is telling me that with this kind of solid support by a deep-pocketed, trusted agent, the ITKG investors have far less to be concerned with than they did 14 months ago when the stock was treading water at .30 cents.

As for the silence, there is an old saying regarding the quiet before the storm… A synergy of events are coming to a head, one might consider this a preamble to the Big Bang that creates that ElectriPlast universe mentioned earlier…

I hope that was of help…

EB Reader,

Congratulations -- you have touched on one of the reasons for excitement centered on the pending patented impacts associated to this IP.

Better said, think on it this way--while it is true that Integral and their ElectriPlast IP are looking in many directions to exploit numerous markets. This is merely one of the more notable of market directions where the presence of impact resistant, lightweight, durable plastics will be near-term and obvious.

The future is close at hand, and JARCO is the source powering this IP to meet it head on...

The Loud Crash of Silence...




12-13, 17 March 2007
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK:

The silence from Integral has been deafening. It's been a month since the Knowles announcement and nothing has since been posted in the way of news. Heard anything?

EB Reader

------------------------

Yes, have you heard anything? I've been waiting very patiently for any small tidbit of news but all has been quite silent.

EB Reader from AZ

------------------------

I think most would agree that the wait and not knowing are the hardest parts. I've been a shareholder for quite awhile and their lack of communication with (and seeming lack of concern for) the shareholders’ is probably my biggest complaint.

EB Reader

Is it time for shareholders to unite?

EB Reader

------------------------


EB Readers,

Before starting, I just wanted to offer an apology for the delay in getting back to those writing here--also for not being present to update the Blog with the latest rumored and real activities taking place behind the scenes.

I was doing some service time to the Government and was pre-occupied with other stuff.

I am back. Unfortunately I have to admit, as some have noted, it has indeed been silent since the Knowles announcement, but that is not to say the momentum behind ElectriPlast has ground to a halt -- far from it.

Last month, I noted that events were to come to a head in a few weeks -- the events are still in play, the cause for the delay is as simple as this. Integral Technologies in pushing their IP to market has to work through and rely on others to meet established benchmarks.

Sounds like an excuse, partially it is, but in reality, that is what has been taking place all along, and why it has taken so long to get to where we are today.

There is the pending expectation of a massive grouping of patents to be released soon. One of these patents is said to be the comprehensive bailiwick which will serve as the basic cover patent for all current and future ElectriPlast, and ElectriPlast-like conductive materials potentially made by other front-runners working to create: conductive plastics; inherently conductive polymers (ICPs); inherently dissipative polymer (IDPs); and other competing polymers.

What else is going on – well, word is Integral Technologies, some of its licensees, and most importantly, the ElectriPlast IP will one day be featured as a reported segment on a nationally syndicated TV program. The details behind this event are shady. When will it air? What specifically was the content focused on? What aspects were covered and did they involve: the management; the marketing plan; the companies involved; the product(s); the inventor; the supply-chain; the investment?

These are all questions yet to be released. What is known is that the filming took place shortly after Valentines Day – but as I mentioned a moment ago, the details back then, as today, were/are too sketchy to make any noteworthy comments on.

Is that all – Far from it…

There is much more. Events continue to progress in Jasper, with plans for JARCO’s expansion in the air.

Other contracts and licensing agreements are close to being announced; and if I am not mistaken a third party testing of the ElectriPlast material is either in progress or has been completed…

There are a number of issues more to follow up on, but this is only my first day back in front of my computer keyboard, and my notes, and the various emails/tip-off leads from fellow shareholders, EB Readers, and other interested parties are scattered, or not yet opened.

That said, give me some time to decompress and I will share what I can then…

Cheers and best regards from Bavaria's St Patrick Party Center,

This is far from the last bit of news to hit the scene.

Don't get me wrong, the news associated with this report was outstanding.

That said, speculative rumor has it that something meaningful will soon occur. The specifics are hazy at this time, but the underlying sentiment is that this event will further enhance the ElectriPlast IP's marketing ability, and that it will be looked upon with extreme favor by the shareholding readers.

If so, then you must have learned that volatility goes with the territory, right?

If not, then consider this downturn as your "schooling." It's really quite simple:

1) You believe that the stock price will eventually catch up with the technology and you ride it out, or
2) You don't.

If you don't, then why keep punishing yourself?

Yet another anonymous Small Investor

------------------------


EB Readers,

Hello to all reading, and those writing.

I gather this surprise down-turn has hit hard and left some wondering on the validity of the ElectriPlast, and more importantly, its marketability.

This is not one of those DEAL with it speeches – nothing near. Your concerns are valid and the questions are reasonable.

Understand, first and foremost, OTCBB, or better said Penny Stocks are extremely susceptible to investor sentiment, rumor, hype and lies. Unfortunately, we are still at the beginning phase of this investment. The stock is under the radar, and we as stakeholders are holding onto something that—though it is not yet there—has the potential to impact numerous markets at the same time. Because of this, we are in the same position as what some once called angel investors. Like those who invested in Microsoft before the technology was realized; or those who supported eBay long before its stock came available on the open market, long before its potential could be realized.

We are not that early on the train at this point, but for the rest of the world, there is still a fog surrounding the implied impact that the ElectriPlast IP will have on various markets being targeted. The EB was begun with the notion of clearing the fog for some, and offering answers to those who began to see the potential.

A friend recently reminded me of a saying, and I know I’ll get it wrong: “under promise and over perform.”

Not realizing it, I’ve tried to follow that guideline in email responses and correspondences. In the Blog stories themselves, no, I could not take that approach because I needed to speculate on some of the potentials based on the patent summaries as they were approved, and from insights gleaned from the Integral itself.

Despite that, I attempted to remain true in my descriptions – despite the fact that, until ElectriPlast becomes marketed and is available on the streets, the “real” potential will remain a close-held secret, available only to the license holders and to the over 300 companies holding Non Disclosure Agreements with Integral Technologies, and its license holders: JARCO; Heatron; ADAC; and Esprit. As noted above, I worked to under promise on my descriptions of what was gleaned from both the patents and accounts from sources that were exposed to the tech-specs of ElectriPlast and are aware of the potentials. Still, it is hard to do, if what was relayed is fact, then there is no way this venture could fail, and the fact that multi-million dollar companies are signing licensing agreements and (potentially future contracts) with Integral might be interpreted as supporting this premise.

All right, the questions are focused on the why behind the dip. Heck, it could be any number of things behind that – from the raised expectations over the CES (some wanted a booth), me, I saw it as yet another source of validation for product potential - - I believe I said as much in my Blog articles, and similar tones were echoed in Vince’s articles.

The product was validated, those companies looking for a new angle on developing their pending product lines were exposed to the potential ElectriPlast brings to bear. Contacts were made and developed during that event – problem was, they were not broadcasted, announced, or publicized beyond the event itself. Welcome to the world of business, where first to market sometimes means working with someone who wishes to keep their secret weapon secret for as long as necessary.

Another reason for the drop could be due to the newspaper article reported on the iHub a few weeks ago, wherein Bill Robinson gave an interview and noted that revenue from ElectriPlast sales may probably be seen in the 3rd or 4th quarter. This is longer than some would have thought – what with this being the “year” and all.

I don’t know what to say about that--it is about perspectives more than not. If revenues are seen in the 2nd quarter, will we march on Bellingham and proclaim the CEO a liar. I think not, and though I cannot say he is spot on, I can say JARCO has been producing ElectriPlast in volume over the past 3 months for (someone). I can say that they are looking to increase their production load multi-fold. I can say that Tom Aisenbrey has been spent more than a few weeks in Jasper assisting with the operation & production’s fine-tuning efforts.

To what end?

Let me be clear. This company is moving in a forward direction. The Licensees listed now are not the last to be seen. Many, many other companies are taking a hard look at the ElectriPlast option, and have their legal teams reviewing and tweaking their proposed agreements as I write. Some of the NDA companies intend to enter into contractual agreements with Integral directly, while others will become clients to JARCO’s supply-chain manufacturing infrastructure.

The story associated to this investment remains constant – yes, the stock price dropped. Trust when NASDAQ, or AMEX comes into play, such fluctuations will not be present, and manipulators will find it harder to tease the price per share.

Until that time, you will simply have to deal with those on a message board taunting and attempting to confuse the larger picture with their holier than thou, negative ‘tude.

I doubt this was of much help to some – the product and its potential is real, the issues and speculations highlighted in this Blog are valid. There is no instant path to success, and if there was, then I would raise the flag of doubt.

No, a foundation is required, and it needs to be built upon. Integral is doing just that.

I am tempted to say calm your passions, but I sense the reasons why some may be anxious. What I recommend is waiting for the activity set to occur at or around the end of this month, beginning of next before testing the “cut and run” winds on this extremely speculative, but potentially highly rewarding investment.

That’s it from me… Cheers and best from the Heart of Bavaria,

Question on the IP Price Per Pound...




22-25 January 2007
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


Hi PK:

Firstly, best wishes to you for good health and much happiness in 2007.

Some major questions popped up in my mind while reading your latest Blog entry:

What would you imagine the price per pound of ElectriPlast is selling for??

And further, hypothetically of course, what would the profit on a per pound basis be??

I know, I know, we don't know the cost of the raw materials or both JARCO's manufacturing and marketing costs in addition to what the ElectriPlast is priced at.

Is the business model to sell the raw ElectriPlast and collect a royalty on say a per
item manufactured basis? or to just sell the ElectriPlast on a per pound basis with no royalty?

If there is a royalty, would it be a royalty based on an items' list price? wholesale price? and if it's 75,000 door handle assemblies for a car in Europe, what happens? Is there a blanket license fee for the 75,000 door handles in addition to the cost of the raw ElectriPlast?

After reading your Blog some concern came to mind in regards to the supply side. JARCO can supply 100,000 lbs per month. Now even if JARCO could double or triple the output to 200-300,000 lbs per month, that's not going to be anywhere near enough if things get going. Your figure of 1.5 million lbs. per month of what is anticipated for the short and mid term is a nice figure however where's that going to come from? I'm speculating that JARCP tripling their output would be a major accomplishment but 10 times or 15 times their output???? Probably not going to happen without building a bigger factory.

Esprit and other future European manufacturers would probably like to have and would eventually need to have a source closer to their facilities. Asia too. Convenience and the cost and time to ship containers across the Atlantic/Pacific would be alleviated. Finding and Trusting 1, 2, or 3 other manufacturing facilities on different continents will be a major, major deal. How do you trust other manufacturers with the IP/Formulation?

What's your speculation for additional supply?

I'm sure you're way ahead of me on this and probably already have some viable solutions in mind.

Care to share?

Stay warm in Bavaria.

Best Regards.

EB Reader,

Good hearing from you again, and great question – Price Per Pound. I think maybe I as the EB Publisher, or the Editor-in-Chief should do an article in that direction, but then again – maybe not.

Reason being, the information we have access to on that account – though not speculative – varies dependent on who the licensee is; their interest; and the negotiated price settled upon.

Here is how the game plan will work – in every industry imaginable, Integral will have one prime, or secondary industry product server/supplier licensed to first introduce a novel new ElectriPlast product to the market, and then—as the popularity and uniqueness of ElectriPlast is better understood and favored above other available product options—to become partnered as THE primary supplier of a strongly desired product.

As noted the price per pound will depend on a variety of things—to include the value of the material ElectriPlast is meant to mimic, or replace (from copper type material, to semi and "super"-conducting capable materials).

In some instances, it has been reported that the selling price of ElectriPlast pellets could range from $10 - $50 per pound. Granted these more than likely represent low-end prices – you know, first-time buyers and users get the initial discount, then the price rises as the market grows and the usefulness becomes better realized and understood.

Since Jasper Rubber carries the burden of work, they are paid, and Integral earns a percentage of that sum. The percentage amount varies from license and contracts negotiated also. I might say somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-40% but that would be speculation and rumor based. Suffice it to note, whatever agreement/arrangement has taken place between JARCO and Integral, both have walked away from the bargaining table happy – JARCO more so because with the production of ElectriPlast product, their client list, and end-of-the-day bottom line earnings will rise, and rise. We are talking a $70 million a year company looking to grow exponentially. We are looking at Integral looking to tap onto that growth.

I’ll let you do the math. No matter how it shakes, within the first year of sales, Integral would have almost covered all past debts and expenses and would be well along the path to solid positive earnings.

There is another angle associated – not only does JARCO supply raw material, they also produce finished product. Those sales exceed that of raw material, and once again, Integral earns a percentage of that take.

I would look to the 3rd or 4th quarter to seeing an impact from the sales – right now; the real focus is in garnering the licensees, and in increasing production capabilities. On this end, from my understanding, JARCO is fully behind Integral, and are looking to increase their capacity – in some fashion that I am not yet prepared to detail until it occurs and become readily apparent to all (but I think you may of hit on the avenue that I am thinking of in your questioning guess – who knows, JARCO may have even already begun moving in that direction). Regardless, trust that they are supporting this project, and have the end fully in sight and mind.

As for sourcing of materials and supply-chain, I don’t think that an overwhelming problem with global trade being what it is. And no, JARCO is the company Integral relies upon to act as the sole supplier of product. They will do so in two fashions – first, by supplying palletized ElectriPlast, allowing a manufacturer the ability to mold the product themselves to meet their specific needs or requirements – second, by having JARCO supply finished product that meets a manufacturers specific needs or requirement.

No sharing of IP will take place beyond that. As for duplication, it may be possible in the future, but that is why patents were developed first – also, the creation of the ElectriPlast material is not as simple as reverse engineering. Think on this, after years of exposure to samples of ElectriPlast, neither GE or DuPont have yet been able to exploit the material they had access to (at least not to the extent that it offered the same reported quality and capability that Integral has mastered.)

I hope this helped in answering some of your question – granted some of the comments above are speculation/rumor based, but I don’t think I am leading you down a fairy-tale path here. The potential is real and the product works as advertised. Validation of that fact is re-affirmed with each additional license garnered.

Cheers and best – from a snow-blanketed Bavaria,

Nailing Down the Mood at JARCO...




22-23 January 2007
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

Could anyone there tell how optimistic the Jasper rubber officers were?

How much have they invested in manufacturing capacity?

It would seems logical that if they are very committed to Electriplast, that would bode well for prospective sales.

Also, I wonder if there will be any revenues recorded this quarter from the previous licensing agreements.

ITKG's 10Q is coming up in the middle of February.

I wish we could get a statement from the CEO.



------------------------



EB Reader,

Thank you for asking the questions. You don't make it easy.

About JARCO - To date, it has been reported through rumor, by the ElectriPlast inventor, Tom Aisenbrey, and by both Integral and JARCO that the company (JARCO) is extremely optimistic about this new and unique connection and their future as they see it.

The reality, JARCO is fully behind the ElectriPlast project, and have placed their full -- wait, let's re-stress that FULL resources behind this endeavor. There is a real potential that this employee managed company will multiply its yearly bottom-line exponentially. You can consider JARCO fully committed. Chances are because of the "exponential" stakes involved we won't hear much on this aspect until all surrounding issues and details are solidified -- but keep an eye out for that space all the same. A lot of activity is taking place at ground zero, better known as "Jasper".

As for revenues, you may see a trickling as reported to the SEC, but don't expect anything of significance until the 3rd and 4th quarter.

Right now, Integral is focused on getting an inside track on each and every conceivable market impacted by its patented products -- and setting up those markets for the time when their pending patents become fully recognized. At present Integral has about 20 patents in place, with another 20 patents due to come into their own in the next few months--and almost 80 more to follow shortly thereafter.

Tom Aisenbrey has in mind to have approximately 300 patents submitted and registered in support of the ElectriPlast IP.

But that is not what you asked; you wanted to know about the revenues. Go with the quarters I mentioned above, but realize that that can be boosted at anytime based on the needs of the orders placed to the niche ElectriPlast licensed companies by the end-users.

As for the statement from Bill Robinson, the Integral CEO, well, I wish that too, but it would be difficult to guess at what he could really tell at this point.

Let me clear up that last -- right now his has a variety of companies test bedding the ElectriPlast material for their use, and to dog-and-pony to their customers. These companies each have the prospect of signing a licensing agreement with Integral, and as a result becoming a conduit to their niche area of the marketplace.

Each are vying for an advantage, a best deal to strike with Bill Robinson so that they can become one of the first--in their niche area--to market the ElectriPlast potential to their clients, and possibly steal customers from their competitors.

Bill Robinson can give the larger picture, but he may be satisfied in letting actions speak for him.

Granted, I --for one-- think it better to let the shareholders in on the larger picture, but I am not standing in his shoes, and it is difficult being a Blog-Seat-Driver.

Suffice it to note, he will say something when ready, and there is enough backdoor interaction and communication taking place at this time where it might not be necessary to hold the shareholders hands. While I don't agree with that line of thought--transparency in my view, and in today's world is a healthy thing--in the business world, it might be extremely costly, showing your cards too willingly to the ever-present competition.

Hope that was of some help,

Hedging Bets?




10 January 2007
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

Hope Christmas treated you and yours well and that the New Year rolls on strong.

I've turned to you for commentary on this from Tobin Smith: "If and when ITKG proves its technology can transition from development to commercialization, be ready to see some real action in the shares."

He made this statement in his newsletter 'Bottom Line' opinion after stating the latest news regarding licenses and Espirit Solutions. He explained Espirit has a formidable customer base and specializes in high-performance protective systems within the aerospace and defense market.

I wanted to hear from you on Tobin's hedging position of "If" (and when) ITKG proves... I'm just looking here for your commentary using this as the discussion point. While the stock has short-term volatility, the 200-day trend-line shows a nice, smooth upward running line. With this and many other positive factors supporting ElectriPlast, I tend to get too relaxed given that I have 70k shares invested. Even though I understand we're still looking at 2-5 years for the licensing to sale of the company plan to play out. This is also plenty of time for something, anything to disrupt the plan and the value of the stock.

Thanks for your time and effort. Best to you.



------------------------



EB Reader,

In regards to Tobin Smith and his stake in Integral Technologies, other than as an investment, there are no strong strings attaching that connection. Integral is a company, and Tobin is a free agent, able and willing to tell those who follow his lead whatever he chooses. Integral has no voice on that process.

As for the Licensing to Sale note – I think, with the JARCO connection fully established, that time lag would be cut down to weeks. JARCO is a full service entity, with supply chain and quality control’s firmly in place. They are ISO certified, and are already established in the industry. I doubt that they will sacrifice that established reputation, and more importantly, their ISO certification, simply to get sucked into marketing scam. In short, Tobin and his ChangeWave crew may take advantage of the markets, and may hedge their commentary – but that is the limit of their stake in this investment.

On the opposite side of the scale, you have JARCO who is heavily vested into the development, production and marketing of ElectriPlast. In lining up with Integral Technologies, they place their ISO certification and reputation on the line.

I think if I were to choose sides, and more, if I were to wonder at who had certain inside knowledge on the eventual game plan and end results – through it all, I would side with JARCO. Their investment is greater, and not to be taken lightly.

Not to slam Tobin and his efforts, but it – in my opinion – is far easier to sell a stock and walk away, moving on to the next horizon. He is not doing that though, nor do I think he has any intention to consider it – not now, and not with over 100 companies with NDAs’ waiting for patents to solidify so that they too can take advantage of the ElectriPlast option…

A Difficult Nut to Crack…




9-13 January 2007
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

Can you tell me what the annual sales revenue of ESL is?

I haved tried to research this and cannot find this information.

Also, are the the manufacturer of the protective shielding or do they represent or act as a consultant for the companies that make this part?


------------------------


PK,

Is it possible a company such as "Research in motion" of 'Blackberry' fame could be very much interested in 'Plastenna' to increase their competitiveness?

I would anticipate so due to the recent announcement of the iPhone launch.

Might all the present cell phone makers be under the gun to better their product?

Thank you for your comments.


------------------------


EB Reader’s,

Two great questions ~

Sorry for the delay in answering the first, I got caught up in real life for a bit.

The revenue's of ESL is a difficult nut to crack. There is limited information available, but not the specifics you are requesting. Being a UK Ltd, the disclosure of their financing is, by far, different than what you would expect for a US company.

Suffice it to note, the information available will be shared shortly, but rather than run with half a fact, I'll hold off for a bit until I can see if more insight on that front can be collected.

As for the second question regarding RIM and other "like" companies interest in the PlasTenna, or any ElectriPlast aspect towards their product lines.

Here it is. In response to an email from a EB Reader many months ago, now posted on the ElectriPlast Q&A Blog, I informed that questioner that the chances were unlikely that there was a connection between ElectriPlast and the newly introduced iPhone.

They would have been a great fit, but for whatever the reasons, these two companies never made formal introductions, and the iPhone was well on its way into development before ElectriPlast began its active marketing campaign--and became a stable enough entity, with a solid standing supply-chain supporting it, to host notions of doing business on this large a scale.

With MOT, there was a different story regarding such a fit. Though MOT contracts out many aspects of its product manufacturing and production, they also own large interests in both aspects and are established enough to be able to take raw materials offered (like ElectriPlast from sources like Integral Technologies) and supply and produce their own product.

With the iPhone, the story is different. Apple is not specifically in the manufacturing business, nor did they buy a manufacturer in order to begin making their innovative iPhones.

Back to your question -- or rather to the answer:

The iPhone has raised the bar on consumer’s expectations for what their personal communication product should be able to do, what it should look like, and how it should perform.

In a small package, the iPhone literally replaces the need for: PDAs; digital cameras; MP3 players; the Gameboy; the old school Filofax/calendar; GPS Tracker; WiFi/WiMAX Internet browser; and of course phone -- heck, with the Bluetooth enhancements you can even add walkie-talkie to that mix.

Replacing all of these personal communication/information platforms, and a TV remote control added for kicks, the iPhone has indeed raised the standard by more than a couple of notches.

Many companies with products on the market will see their sales sag and fade to dust unless they look for a technology edge with which to compete.

Can ElectriPlast be part of that edge -- Oh Yeah!

What many don't realize is that plastic technology is on the verge of an explosion. Computer chips, made out of plastic vice silicon, are being developed. Instead of the clunky (yes, one day your LCD computer monitor will be referred to as clunky--much like the monitor it probably replaced) computer monitor before you now, one day you could see a frame with a thin sheet of plastic, loaded with high defination characteristics. replacing it. Heck, Tom Aisenbrey has even test bedded ElectriPlast based semiconductors.

In short, yes the iPhone is a marvel, and were it that ElectriPlast involved with its initial development, as investors, your and my fortunes in this small company would be set. But that does not say it never will happen in the future, nor does it say that this is the end of the story.

ElectriPlast brings innovative technology to the table, and because of the emergence of the iPhone, that is what various companies, such as RIM, will soon look for in an effort to compete.

So, after the long (almost EB Blogworthy) spiel, the short answer to your question is, Oh Yeah!

All in the communications industry are now under the gun to come forth with better products.

With the introduction of Apple's iPhone, the MOT recently introduced Razer series has become about as passé as the dated radio telephone featured on the old "Mannix" detective show.

Hope that was of help,

I thought you might be interested to know that one of the world's largest and most advanced magnetic tape manufacturer's is about to close its doors in a few days after going bankrupt, bought for nothing, and still unable to recover.

The equipment will be sold for nothing and the land sold.

They can bond and print almost anything to any type of thin film. You can have the company free of charge if you keep the doors open.

They are quantegy in Opelika, Albama.

I don't work there, an employee was telling me about them...and looking for a job after 23 years.

EB Reader,

Unfortunately, it is not a unique occurrence. What you describe was once a proud, prospering cornerstone of Americana suffering the clash of the times. It was an Analog company working in a Digital world.

When you have MP3 players no bigger than a writing pen, or photo/video cameras that are becoming smaller than a pack of cigarettes, and can fit in the palm of your hand while storing up to 8GB of memory...

Well, the toys of yesteryear are either going to have to adapt, merge, or fade.

My dad once owned a Reel-to-Reel. He lovingly loaded it with the music he wanted to listen to and we'd listen to the tunes wail throughout those special nights of my childhood.

A number of years ago, his Recorder broke. I was going to get him a new one, but the prices were outrageous.

I then thought to do a "McGuiver" on the broken Reel-to-Reel Recorder, it and fix it myself.

The parts for his Recorder were more outrageous than the notion of purchasing a new one--plus, if the truth were to be known, I really didn't have a clue as to how to fix it--rather, I thought it like an IKEA product—you know--sooner or later the pieces would come together on their own forming into something looking like that picture on the box.

Instead, I thought to look in other directions, what with the onslaught of VHS recorders, CD's and then DVD's, along with the ease of loading -- I introduced my Father to WinMX (a revived peer-to-peer internet site), and he found that he could upload and record on CD and MP3, the old music he loved--and more--the old tunes of his childhood that he could never before find. And all this for free.

An so, his tapes, boxed up, began gathering dust in a dark corner of the basement, right next to his broken Reel-to-Reel recorder.

I sincerely feel for your friend, and I understand your comment. Look around, it is happening all over. Not just companies falling out of time, but people, jobs, America itself.

I heard on the radio a story about how the major department stores are bemoaning the fact that yet another year has passed and few have met their forecasted holiday sales volumes.

I ask how can they be surprised?

America is no longer the producer it once was. Most of the presents purchased were made elsewhere--outsourced to China, or a third world country more likely than not.

Christmas lights, decorations, and even fake trees are now being made in China. And that doesn't even touch the material (clothing/electronics) manufacturing aspect.

Meanwhile--a growing number of Americans are working two jobs to support their family and their credit card debt -- and yes, somewhere in the mix is a mortgage or rent and other creature comforts monthly payments, like cable.

Thank goodness for places of part time employment like Home Depot.

And a mega-boo-hiss to the retailers who missed their forecasted sales year...

The heartless person that I am, despite the crocodile-tears they cry, I tend to think: Maybe these retailers should have considered "buying" American products in the first place, as opposed to lining their pockets, while gouging America where it hurts the most...

Wow, that was quite a tangent -- Sorry I got off track slightly.

Cheers and thanks for the post, and the support to the EB.

Thanks for the outstanding article (your attempts to downplay your literary skills, notwithstanding). You've painted a pretty vivid picture for the reader of some of the possibilities associated with this great venture. What are its limits? Our imaginations!

My guess is the imaginations of several will be stoked at the CES next week!

P.S.- Would you mind commenting on some of the things mentioned in your opening paragraphs sometime?....

EB Reader,

Thank you for the good words and the kind lies... The reality is, I am not downplaying my talents. I speak like I write, and I have had teachers berate me on that often in the past.

The thing is, as long as the intended audience gets the gist of the intended message, I call it a win. Others might call it literary-pain.

As for the CES this week, consider this:

Win, Place or Show -- we still garner recognition and high marks.

My thinking is that even more heads will be turned as the possibilities surrounding ElectriPlast become better highlighted.

PS -- Did you happen to check out the links on that last piece?

Click on the hotlink that say's "CLICK HERE"

The video pretty much steals a number of my talking points for upcoming articles... No not only am I not that great of a writer, but I will be forced to either steal concepts from that video, or will have to search my cranial nugget for some inspired content to share in future articles...

I thought there was going be an exhibit at the CES show next week featuring Electriplast. Just found out that Integral Technologies will not be having an exhibit. Just curious as to why.

Will Electriplast be shown?

I would guess yes, but not quite sure now.

Rather than get into a debate on the issue, let's wait for the CES show to open next week before we begin drawing lines in the sand...

Happy New Year!

Fellow Shareholder

------------------------


Fellow Shareholder,

Thanks for digging a little deeper and uncovering the insight.

There are some on various message boards who will readily make negative claims in an effort to sway, or mislead others.

For them, it is not about uncovering the truth, the facts, the reality (however you choose to phrase it), but more it is about power that they sense they gain in raising uncertainty and doubt. For them, it could be something as simple as using psychological scare tactics to play shareholders, and manipulate the stock in this faulty OTC market. Personally, I think it may have more to do with an individual psychosis where this/these entity(ies) feel that (they) need to be taken seriously, and seen by others as a resource of information, and an authority for fact.

That said, you realize there are negative influences out in the world. Just like you would do for your own -- I will continue to urge you, and others reading, to seek out the underlying truth behind what is propped up as FACT, or impending doom on the message boards.

Truth comes in differing shades, and the best falsehoods come from those who most often cry foul, or those who play the fear card as they attempt to bolster their issue of the moment...

Rather than getting sucked into the groundswell of that attitude, use the best and most responsible information resource available -- yourself.

Dig consistently; read between the lines often, and if that doesn't work, pick up a phone and make your concerns known to IR. Though IR may not always be able to resolve your particular issues, they should (when asked) point you toward a resource that you can use to further your due diligence rights as a fellow shareholder...

Cheers and best from the Heart of Bavaria,

EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

Thanks for all the effort on this site.

Question: What would cause you to change your mind? I think I understand your reasoning about how ITKG is now focusing on smaller manufacturing companies and establishing the production process with Jasper. I agree that these are smart moves. It does seem to me also, at least from a stock technical point of view, that Intregral really has to make something happen soon. Witness how the market reacted to the ADAC news - the next day down 7%. It truly is put up or shut up time for this little company.

I am long this stock and wish it well.



------------------------



EB Reader,

Merry Christmas, & sorry to be so long in getting back to you…

You ask a question that asks for opinion – and though I do not mind offering one, know that it is merely my opinion as an investor/shareholder in Integral Technologies.

You ask about timing and immediate market moves. I agree. Something does have to happen, and yes, sooner is by far better than later or never. In that regard there is little that I can tell you at this point. The news released last week regarding the ADAC agreement was not the news I for one was expecting.

Sure, rumor abounded that there would be an announcement surrounding an automotive parts interest in the coming year, but there were / are a number of other rumors floating that spoke to more significant –readily recognizable—announcements which were also pending. Rumor had one of these coming forth first.

As for the markets reaction to the ADAC news that is an immediate issue which is not important at the moment. I mean--not to dress it up--but as an investor, don’t you think it a significant achievement to have a multimillion-dollar company doing business with your stock-holding company? More, don’t you think it important that the ElectriPlast IP finally migrate out of the virtual concept to the real world?

The impact of the immediate market reaction is nothing compared to the notion of getting the ElectriPlast product into the hands of real people, so that they can see for themselves what we have an inkling to – more, its important to get the ElectriPlast IP onto the market, allowing others a visual as to what is possible, and in effect putting it squarely on their radar.

It is always put-up-or-shut-up-time for this little company. Many an investor reading this Blog can tell you a story of how they too wish the stock could have seen the progress of this past year, years ago. As I noted in my last to you, and throughout this Blog, a number of issues held that progress to a stand-still:

• Patents, being one of the issues seeing a resolution, with new patents being approved on a weekly basis.
• Supply Chain aspect being another – that too has been addressed, its resolution has been reported in the recent past.

In short, as shareholders, we find ourselves in an extremely unique position. The elements of success are truly close at hand. The foundations of an event occurring soon are in place. The daily price per share (PPS) might be a focus for many, and if that is the case, then I urge them to follow their conscience and sell.

The reality behind that is, until the stock becomes listed as a NASDAQ or AMEX entity, it will be subjected to potential market maker manipulation. That is good for some, but not for those who watch these things using it as a bellwether.

You asked my opinion – I offer it freely. Watch, and let the plan unfold. The CES is scheduled to hit in early January 2007. In addition, there will be other agreements and sales of product in the offering. There may even be interesting news from Jasper regarding…well regarding things that we as investors want to hear. These are the same things that would offer more validation to the Realness behind ElectriPlast and its impact on various markets.

No Longer a Quest Part-II...




21-22 December 2006
EB Reader’s (KLN/Chris) & PK Correspondence


PK,

I've noticed on the Integral website that over the past few years there have been several of these licensing agreements, much like the latest one with ADAC.

Do you know what has happened to them? I wonder why nothing has developed yet in the way of revenues. (KLN)


----------------------


KN, that's a good point. Since 2001, they've made numerous announcements of licensing agreements and business partnerships, yet over the past three years, they've had revenues of $1k, $67k, and $2k in the years ending June 30 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively.

I'm only just beginning my research on this company, but your comment, and their history of press releases without subsequent revenue, at least on the surface, makes this look like your typical OTC.BB scam.

On the flip side, though, they have just completed their first actual manufacturing agreement, which is different from the previous agreements in that it could actually lead to physical production of the product, and more importantly, to revenue. Additionally, a deeper dive into some of the aforementioned press releases shows that, while their titles seem a bit "pumped-up" most of them do merely discuss the exploration of market potential, and did not suggest immediate revenue generation.

Additionally, it does appear that the plans laid out in the January 6, 2006 letter to shareholders (to move toward production and sales) are coming to fruition (Jasper and ADAC), so I'm inclined, for now, to give management the benefit of the doubt that they are actually on the road to revenue generation and profitability. (Chris)



------------------------



EB Readers (KLN & Chris),

Thank you for the questions, and for offering a chance to relay the story, as I understand it.

First, to KLN, the ultimate reason for the past few years you highlighted is due to Supply-Chain certainly, but more it was due to the uncontrolled actions of second and third parties.

That prospective agreements were noted in press releases is commonplace among partnerships that choose to signal their intention to do business. Motorola is one instance of focus noted in this writing, or rather they were. I would point you to the leadership change that took place as Integral released the press release identifying the possibility of entering an arrangement with a major cell phone concern. Dig into the history of the time, and you will find that the old MOT management had visited Integral’s offices/lab. In return, Bill Robinson and Tom Aisenbrey and others visited with Motorola and spoke with their leadership. All was on track, lawyers had met, and plans were made. Then Motorola company, again, stumbled in the marketplace. New leadership took over, and in the housecleaning that ensued, former management contacts once made, were replaced.

This was a lesson-learned session for those at Integral Technologies. They realized that, yet again, they were relying on a large name player to carry them to success. They needed a change to their game plan, and a complete overhaul in their marketing strategy.

If you read Chris’ assessment, you will see indications of the change and signs of its emergence.

First, rather than announce yet to be achieved successes, the company became more reserved -- holding back on the news (and rumor) until only after the real news had occurred.

Second, instead of looking for a large name company to latch their star upon – rather than look to GE or DuPont, they chose instead to focus on the question of how best to market their IP material quickly and in quantity.

Somewhere in the project management phase of the planning process, the notion of coordinating with/through one, or more established manufacturers came into being.

The company leadership searched internationally for just the right partnership – and while doing so, sought out solutions to the other various lacking Supply Chain issues that had hampered past efforts and kept the ultimate goal of success ever elusive.

After almost a year of resolving the above issues, working out the kinks, and tweaking timelines, securing financing and resolving potential partnership concerns – Integral, as Chris notes, issued their 6 January press release manifesto, highlighting things to come; milestones; and a comprehensive overall game plan.

While it is fair to look at the past and use it as an indicator, also keep in mind that the past if remembered can be a teacher.

Just like you won’t hold an incident against a child as it grows into adolescence and later adulthood, remember – Integral has experienced trending mistakes and in the past two years has learned from them, breaking the mold with a new strategy.

From all indicators available, it appears that they are keeping to the game plan, and if you choose to hold that against Integral and their leadership, then that is your choice.

To me, I see the fact that multi-million dollar industries are taking serious note of the ElectriPlast potential, and are bothering to sign on board.

To me – that looks like something more is a-brewing, than the same-o, same-o mantra few unique naysayers would have you believe.

Back to what I said early on, you have a Supply Chain in play. To that end, you also have a Manufacturer who has hired a multitude of workers to handle an anticipated increase in workload. You have patents with a host of patents pending. And, you have hands-on, international recognition in the coming the form of the Jan 2006 CES.

And this merely scratches the surface – talk about just beginning, ADAC is in play, along with yet another well know auto manufacture – and trust it won’t stop there.

With over 100 Non Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) were commented upon in past press releases, you can count on that as fact – and we shareholders will see what other impressive well-known entities pony up to the table, and hear them loudly when they say:

“Make Mine ElectriPlast!”

I sincerely hope that helped a little. For more anytime, feel free to drop me an email at: electriplast@hotmail.com …

Christmas Cheers and warmest regards from winter-wonderland Bavaria,

To be perfectly clear -- on the surface this is a killer agreement.

Scratching beneath you will find some very insightful associations, many of which we will see emerge later.

For the moment, it is proof that there are interested parties vying to use ElectriPlast and the various applications this material presents...

But word of warning, this is merely the first. There are well over 100 NDA's, and that is not counting all of the clients associated to the Jasper or Heatron rosters -- nor does it include the whispered contacts that QuanStar brought to the table...

EB Reader,

It’s good to hear from you --

Interesting piece and concept, but to be honest, I am less than remotely worried about this supposed "competition" which I am assuming is your main concern.

In reviewing the website, I could not find one thing highlighting conductive polymers of any sort -- which is Integral's primary focus.

There is also the fact that there is little in the way of an explanation as to just how the use of these enhanced "O" ring offers a better product -- I mean if it is doped to make the "O" ring more durable, stronger, that is one thing, but a conductive rubber "O" ring is lost on me.

I am not trying to belittle the point -- I simply could not find one thing highlighting the uses of "particles establish a conductive path within the elastomer", and it appears a far cry from this company having the ability to mold/shape their materials to any dimension and making the WHOLE, of whatever product they are focusing on, conductive.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for potential speed bumps on our to path to success, but I don't think this offers any threat.

Great to hear from you again --

I hurled your question at those who are in the know... They refused to answer.

Whether they were being coy in not saying anything, or whether you were on a hot streak with your notion, I truly do not know.

When doing the Readers Q&A Blog, I purposely left your commentary on that subject posted for, almost a week, maybe two -- all in hopes that others would pose the question to IR, and possibly force a response. Nothing that I can see came of the posting or the question -- though, I like you, think it would be a major WIN scenario for Integral, and more for ElectriPlast.

I wouldn't count it out as a possibility, but I would not read too many positives into the silence either.

For now it remains an unknown...

The manufacturing announcement ws a long time in coming. Hooray! I believe it was one of the best-written pieces to date.

Now that the manufacturing arm has been announced, what is your best guess as to the next phase of our journey?

TIA



------------------------



EB Reader,

Thank you much for the words of appreciation for the EB and support –

We strive for a fair and balanced approach in dealing with this Blog – though we have an obvious bias based on our understanding of pending events, and the history shared here. This is not specifically to address your question but please, give me a quick moment to speak to others who may be reading:

The comments/answers offered on the EB—as a matter of fact, the premise of the articles hosted, and the ElectriPlast Blog itself— (is/are) not given to feed into a pump or dump scheme, but rather, they are given in a manner to let the reader/questioner understand that this is not the sole resource for information, and more importantly, that throughout the process—they have a choice.

In regards to the comments/answers offered, some responses as a result may come across as wishy-washy, and for that, well…I look at answering the initial question, but then must also consider doing so while taking into account the fact that others may also be reading. As a result, my responses are tempered in respect for the fact that I am not speaking in a private forum to just one other individual. What I would encourage any wanting to interact and get a honest opinion is to simply send an email and ask your questions on a one-to-one basis with the understanding that it not to be shared beyond that. I will then offer an opinion with the understanding that you are responsible and aware of the choices associated and that my opinions are indeed biased based upon the varied insights & experiences I use to filter my views.

Alright, jumping off of that soapbox, you asked about the:

“Next Phase of our Journey?”

Well, the “Who” is already established – and the last press release notes that there are well over 100 non-disclosure agreements (NDA’s) associated.

The “What, Where, How,” well those are apparent givens.

That leaves the “When & Why.”

The “When” is the question easiest to answer. It has already started. Over the past months, Integral and JARCO have installed the necessary equipment to make manufacturing a reality. If you had checked out JARCO’s website, you would have noted that they have been hiring recently for the forecasted increases in production. Were you one of their clients, you would have been briefed on a disruptive new material that the JARCO leadership believed would satisfied your needs and beyond—and may then have been invited, along with numerous other clients for tours and demonstrations of the product, the capabilities, and the various offshoot potentials associated. Were you to call have Integral, you may have found that Tom Aisenbrey has been spending some serious time in Jasper—but when asked why, you would have probably received a “no comment” statement. The same goes for the Integral CEO. He too has made a number of trips to Jasper—but little else is known (or rather, said) beyond that. Finally, according to the local Jasper news media, an article we intend to post on the EB later today (once an outstanding issue is fact checked), it notes that production IS presently taking place.

The “Why,” well, to make you, me, along with the various companies involved oodles and oodles of money is one aspect. But more the project management process at hand is to achieve a number of milestones. We have already crossed some of them and the price of the stock and investor awareness and enthusiasm has reflected—but more importantly, we have crossed them on time, and remain on schedule for the end result – how did Integral’s CEO describe “that end result” almost a year ago…

http://electriplast.blogspot.com/2006/01/latest-electriplast-news-dated-3.html

"While sales and marketing are becoming the key area of focus for us going forward, we realize that our most valuable asset is our technology. It is important that we maintain our leading industry position and continue to invest in innovation going forward. Our objective for 2006 is to continue expanding and protecting our intellectual property, while sharing the cost of innovation with our partners and customers.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that I think we are on the cusp of seeing ElectriPlast(TM) achieve commercial success. I believe that over the next several years, we will be able to gain a substantial share of the conductive polymer market that has been projected by Business Communications to reach $1.6 billion by 2010. I want to thank you for your continued support over the past years. It has been an exciting ride for us, and we look forward to a very productive 2006."

So in answer to your question – the project was detailed in the linked 3 Jan 2006 article. The ultimate plan is to achieve commercial success, and gain an overwhelming share of the conductive polymer market—which will grow as the product capabilities, and various offshoot potentials become realized and applied.

Integral has fulfilled its 2006 agenda. Now is the time to mimic the example of some of companies often referenced in the EB (like Microsoft, StarBucks, and eBay), and expand on the 2006 successes in order to make some serious inroads into capturing a yet-to-be-tapped market.

So, my friend, this is not a best guess. Based on the history witnessed, even in the past year, I would call the game plan detailed above as: "the Next Phase"…

Cheers, season’s greetings, and best to us all…

EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

I'm seriously considering ITKG as an investment but I'm a little gunshy from some other Tobin Smith picks that have been disasters for me. So, I'm doing more DD than I normally do.

Incidently, I'm in Bellingham as we speak...buried under 10 inches of snow.

Everything about ITKG seems great...the potential is awesome...but there's seems to be one BIG problem. No independent engineer has created a product that we can see. Out of 40 experts that seems a bit strange. Somewhere I read that there was a problem of consistency within the formula. Do you know if this was a problem and has been solved, or still is a problem?

Incidently, regarding the Award...I'm cautiously impressed. I have been an international and national judge in the Direct Marketing field so I'm familiar with this form of high level award. The problem is the judges do not get to verify anything. You're given company-generated facts and have to hope they're real. To a large extent you're operating under a honor system.

But whether the Awards are for real or not only time will tell. The key point is an answewr to my question above.

TIA



---------------------



EB Reader,

As for your suspicion regarding Mr Tobin Smith and his prior picks, I honestly cannot attest to good or bad. I had not heard of him until earlier this year--and only then though other Blog Readers such as yourself. I am not a subscriber to his offerings, though there have been times that some have shared. As for his past, well you have better insight than I there.

What I can relate is, despite what he notes in his stock reports -- he has no impact on Integral or the Management's decisions or progress to date. Were he not highlighting ITKG as a buy option, the stock would still have risen (maybe not so quickly, but it was on an upward progression all the same).

Earlier this year, Integral's management announced the overall game plan for this company's marketing campaign. This was the starting gun's report to inform all that Integral had transitioned from a developmental stage company and that it was aggressively working to now market their patented potential.

I understand your caution, and realize the need you express to know more before leaping blindly onto something so potentially new, and not yet marketed.

There is risk involved in that thinking, but there are rewards associated too.

I agree, this is speculative at best, and your caution is deserved. BUT, you have an opportunity that many do not have before you.

You are in Bellingham!

• You can contact the company and request a visit to the premises.

• You can speak face-to-face with some of the players associated with the birthing of this disruptive IP and get a direct impression before you invest.

Yes, I--being in Bavaria--am operating on an honor system, but I do have friends, whom I trust, and who had signed limited NDA with the Integral Technologies. It was these friends, who after their NDA expired, relayed their experience and impressions to what they were exposed to.

Not to be lulled into blindly believing based on faith alone -- I do value the judgment of these friends. I value, in a few cases, their technical expertise in assessing & evaluating their observations.

Yes there are awards, and experts have lauded the possibilities surrounding the ElectriPlast IP, and the potential changes can bring to the table. And while, as you note, Judges for awards do not often get a chance to garner full disclosure and access to all materials being reviewed, depending on the patent, patent pending or other legal statuses associated -- they do get access.

That's more than many reading this Blog have at present, and why when limited exposure to ElectriPlast, and awards offered are announced, people take note.

Once again, you are in a great position to visit the Integral facilities. I would urge you to call, make an appointment and act upon that opportunity before you before you consider investing.

Cheers and best from the snow-capped heart of Bavaria,

The buying activity was solid today. Are we headed towards a Fortune 100 announcement as has been tossed around?

I managed to pick up another 23,000 shrs ($1.92) during the meltdown 2 weeks ago so the pick up truck is now full to the brim.

The CES news is a great honor but the Christmas present would sure be some major news.

Hope you're doing well before the Bavarian winter sets in,

EB Reader,

Good for you on your acquisition. Many were listening to a few nay-sayers predictions of doom and darkness -- far from the reality surrounding this investment.

The company is still on track to doing business with Fortune 100 companies. Directly and through both Heatron and JARCO. These companies already have client lists and sales forces in play and working on their behalf. Both have the impression that ElectriPlast could seriously change their fortunes and are working hard to turn impression into something substantial.

Integral too continues to coordinate directly with its 40 or more initial corporate contacts, plus those Defense entities that QuanStar introduced them to last year.

Solidifying the Supply Chain is key to the ultimate success here. Last month, BR and TA traveled to China for an unspecified reason -- trust that it centered on ensuring supply chain issues were covered.

As for the recent recognition of the CES, that is an extremely large deal. The point of which is to direct eyes toward Integral's IP, and get them asking questions. The questions will be resolved with the first flurry of contracts.

IMO, Integral and ElectriPlast is just about at that stage.

No matter how it turns out, January will be an interesting time for all shareholders fortunate enough to get in--even at today's prices...

PS -- I am working on opening a new Blog in the near future - would you mind if I incorporate this email into it ((without personal information/names or email addresses associated))??



------------------------------



PK,

As I've always said; You may use any e/mail that I send to you for your web-logs. I always appreciate your intellect and insight. At times, as an investor and true believer in ITKG, it feels a bit lonely because management is so very quiet concerning the operation and direction of the company.

My imagination for what this IP could lead to in the future is as bright as sunshine. However, during some of these dark days it's nice to be following the guy (PK) with the flashlight.

I'm still hoping, though you said it wouldn't happen, that the forthcoming Apple i-Phone will be equipped with a PlasTenna.

Stay warm and best wishes to you...

Any Good Words to Share...

EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

I want to thank you for your insight. Do you think we are going to see any press in the near future?



--------------------



EB Reader,

As you may know, Tom Aisenbrey is in Jasper at this time. Bill Robinson (BR) is in NY finishing up on some business, and will soon be meeting Tom and others at JARCO possibly toward the end of the week.

In regards to press in the near future, the general thought is that usually, BR does not like to have press releases flow until he is in his comfort zone, back near his home base.

That said anything is possible when Jasper Rubber is involved.

Rumor has it that there are a couple of customers present who are interested in using ElectriPlast material purchased by JARCO. I don't know who exactly brought them to the table (former Jasper Rubber clients, or clients Integral developed lo these many years).

If it is an old Integral client, then a press release is destined to happen. If it is a JARCO client, then that company controls the flow of information to the media because their first responsibility is to their client, and if that means giving that entity a marketing edge, by protecting the client’s product, or material source—then that is what they may do. Sounds stupid, but it’s about legal matters more than common sense.

Speaking of BR's travels – rumor has it that in November, he'll be heading back to China. IR gave general information on his travels last time he was there. This time around, his itinerary, and agenda is unknown.

That doesn't answer your news question. On that front, sorry, in taking a front door approach to gathering information, everyone has gotten tight lipped. I’ve got to do some more digging around the edges, which means by the time I track down a reliable line of insight, the press release will have already been on the streets.

Still, my interest is piqued on this one also...

Cheers, and anytime as far as added value insight goes,

Patents and Challenges to IP Ownership.




5-6 October 2006
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

I have been doing some research on conductive polymers.

Is ITKG prepared for challenges to their patents?

The reason I asked is that IBM has many patents on "Inherently Conductive Polymer" processes etc. ITKG patents are using "conductive polymers." Sources have told me that there is a fine line between the two processes on what is used and how it is used in the plastic industry.

Can you comment on the above?

You thoughts are appreciated.



---------------------



EB Reader,

Glad to hear from you again -- and glad to see you uncovering facts for yourself on this.

As you may have read, the world is full of Inherently Conductive Polymers. There are a huge host of them present in the world, and many scientists are working to develop that technology into something that will one day sweep the market. From Chemical based Polymers to Electro-active Polymers. The reality behind that bit of background is the simple fact, that though there are synthetic products that conduct electricity--none do so in such an efficient manner that would make them invaluable, or worthwhile.

Consider this, electric companies would love to use copper wire on all of the power lines throughout the country. Why, because they then could drastically reduce the amperage on the volts streaming over the line, and in turn save themselves millions of wasted dollars yearly. Because they cannot, or worse, because they have to use a lightweight, poor substitute instead--like aluminum, these companies are stuck with using the technology available to them--even knowing that they will still loose hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result.

Why, because they have to raise the amperage drastically for the voltage to travel through the line. It's like driving with your foot on the brake. You'll get where you want to go, but the trip could have been more enjoyable if . . .

To date, all of the other player pieces on the boards do not have the conductive range or capability that Integral has and continues to display.

This is one of the reasons why Integral offered its Licensing fee for 1 mere dollar.

Once these various other client companies, related to Heatron & JARCO, get a touch, taste and flavor to the possibilities associated -- get the example offered that this material is more conductive than the stuff of present-age technology -- then they will want nothing other.

Its conductivity is that good. Far better than the ICP stuff presently on the market.

Here’s an additional something to consider and possibly follow up on your own: When checking the patents submitted, look for the name George O. Sailes. In brief, that is the same individual, who filed many of the IBM patents. It was his patent law firm responsible for filing many of the ElectriPlast patents. Of all people, he should know how close, or distant Integral’s patents come to the IBM patents.

He would have advised, if his research discovered that we were anywhere near the IBM patents.

That is what patent attorney's do to earn their pesetas!

Another way to express it is: Given the potential billion dollar markets for various ICPs, IBM, GE, DuPont, Bayer, and others, would have already filed their patents IF they had anything close to what Integral has.

Preston, Gates Ellis writes the legal framework for the ElectriPlast IP; George O. Sailes does the patent work. As a company with an explosive IP in hand, and as shareholding investors in this venture, we are buttoned up tighter than my spinster aunt!

Expressing Communication Concerns Directly to the Company Management.




26-27 September 2006
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

I believe your thoughts are accurate and correct. I have lost confidence in Mike Pound and Scott. I no longer will give them the time of day. Anytime I called Integral, Michael had a very smart attitude. I believe their heads swelled as the price per share increased. I wish that I could somehow send a message to Bill without going thru their website. I wanted to voice my thoughts. -- In a very constructive way, of course.

I would like to tell you that I appreciate your insight and ideas.



-------------------



EB Reader,

I too wish you could speak directly to Bill Robinson (BR), if anything, to help you in strengthening your confidence in your investment, but also out of common sense of courtesy.

IMO, you should have noted that you attended the meeting at Jasper, and walked away with the feeling that he, or one of the other company leaders not only wanted, but also encouraged communication between the common shareholders and themselves.

The reality is this though. BR’s sights are set at the horizon. Yes, he is aware, and sees the material potential daily. He also sees the stock daily, but he sees this in different terms than you or I. With the material potential, he has the edge. Because his business advisors have told him of ElectriPlast’s worth in the real world--if it is as disruptive as advertised.

· To that end, the fact that JARCO did sign an agreement validates that notion/truth of that question even more.
· Secondly, he sees the stock in terms of NASDAQ potential.

Once the overall marketing plan reaches that peak, then the stock prices will fall into place, stronger hands--like Mutual and Hedge Fund managers will readily bulk purchase the company stock, and these entities are not likely to day-trade for effect, or sell their stocks out of fear/controversy, or rumor-based-confusion.

Why I note that last--for the simple reason--these institutions are like banks--they are banks in a sense. Before you, or I can get a business loan, we must have a business-plan in hand. Before we purchase a home, we must have collateral or a co-signer available. For Mutual and other Fund managers, they get to conduct hands on evaluation of the product, they test the market, and analyze and scrutinize for fault, or loss--before they invest. Rarely do these Fund managers invest in something that is not on a major market, and rarely do they invest in penny stocks.

That Worthington did was telling at the time they choose to invest. They were betting on the product, and possibly the company, but the IP material must have truly impressed them to encourage their investment.

The point I am getting to--BR's sights could be far beyond this, or any false blips on the radar. He is more than likely looking to the incarnation of day when all those patents become real, and the profit potential for each is used to multiply the bottom line.

The complaints you have today have to be about something larger than a 30-day pps (price per share) spread. If the process of communication is broken, you have to be specific to address that, and come up with a solution. If Michael Pound is telling misleading stories out of school, then that needs to be addressed up front and highlighted for effect. If it is his attitude, then realize you are not the first individual he’s spoken to in the day, or week with the same questions, or the same concerns. It is human nature to let attitude impact a work day -- it is human nature to have an off day also. It is not human nature to mislead an erstwhile investor seeking information, and that should be addressed up front and if not to the person, then to his supervisor/manager.

So, there is a course of action to take and make progress on -- you have embarked on that path, to engage the company with a complaint. Rather than merely addressing it to BR through a blind Integral email, you might also consider forward your concerns and complaints to IMG, Integral Technologies' PR connection. They, by rights, should be in a position to forward such feedback to the management directly--and if not, at the very least it should strike a chord of concern that you are reaching others outside their sphere of control to express your dissatisfaction with events and felt it necessary to involve others eyes and ears with your words.

Just thoughts -- once again, I meant to keep it short, but the ramble mode works best when I am tired, and it is well past my bedtime now...

Cheers and best,

Missing the Milestones Covered – while focusing on the Day-to-Day Stock Price.




25 September 2006
EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

Our stock is taking a beating. What are your thoughts?



-------------------



Hello EB Reader,

Well, I'll say what I believe--that this is a temporary matter, good only if you day traded (which I don't), but that is not what you are asking for or about -- so here is what I think...

This weekend, I forwarded a message to Integral's leadership through IR.

In short I detailed my thoughts on the cause/effect and a ready-made solution.

The extremely short version:

The “A” cause: the company's IR. They may not be able to disclose all that everyone desires, and it is human nature to give more than one should especially when interacting over the phone. This can lead some to walking away from the message of the day/month, etc. with false expectations or worse hearing something that was not said, or even implied.

The “B” cause: missed opportunities to get the right message to the investors or to explain the immediate and long reaching goals. In this I mean instances such as not highlighting the QuanStar conclusion or worse, not explaining to the shareholders that they brought the company to the boardrooms of a number of leader military industrial corps, an Integral walked away impressing them all -- or that this was not a break but the conclusion to this phase of their established business relationship, and that both companies are still friendly and if the need arises in the near or distant future QuanStar will readily make its services available to Integral to further both of their interests.

This could have been done for the confusing $1 licensing fees extracted from both Heatron and Jasper too -- a quick explanation to the smartness of this deal would have garnered the company investor buy-in to their long-range vision. Instead, they left people to wonder, and wonder--with the addition of negative prompting from some with an agenda out there on the some message boards. That, and the lack of visible forward progress and supporting words, may have helped in causing the effect of fear, and panic in those not yet able to see the true potential and encompassing capabilities surrounding the product IP, and this as an investment.

The solution I recommended was to better coordinate their messages to reach their target audience -- not in a press release, but better, by using their "mass email mailing list" to target, inform and include (or at least enlighten) shareholders in the company's decision making process. Treat their investors like the esteemed shareholders they are, and let them know that their investment and trust are appreciated, while at the same time, giving them just that bit more than which they would be able to read in a common press release.

The reality is, the fundamentals are the same as when we first corresponded. In fact, they are even better now that Jasper is publicly in the picture, and with their production capability, who knows, one day they might even be announced as the nation's first ElectriPlast material compounder. The supply-chain is coming into focus, and all pieces, with the exception of the additional patents, and following that, the announced clients, are in place. Both are very close.

Ok, maybe this was a bit longer than extremely short.

This is a temporary situation.

Answer me this: What has really changed between the company of now and the company of $3.75-$4.10?

More importantly, do you doubt we will see that range again -- or surpass it once either of the latter pieces of the above-mentioned picture comes into frame.

You asked my thoughts. If Bill Robinson gets word of my recommendations, he could see an immediate net effect -- that and more importantly, he will be on the path to rebuilding conviction and encouragement among the shareholders, with the end result of garnering inclusive buy-in on the vision, and winning the hearts and minds of investors, while speaking directly to the stakeholders who actually “get” just how disruptive this material could one-day become.

I should change my moniker to the Rambling-man cause I do have a hard time keeping a conversation short...

Cheers and best to you,
