Also as previously announced, the Company will be reflecting restatements to its historic Balance Sheets to reflect investments in Patents and other items.

"During the first quarter, we announced initial distribution through CVS/pharmacy (NYSE: CVS) stores along with co-marketing initiatives.  In addition, the Company's broker in Japan has stated that the regulatory approval process is well underway in that market," said Stephen K. Onody, CEO.  "For our customers and potential customers interested in learning about Protandim®, we launched our new website which features greater functionality for customers, giving them updated health and wellness information and more control over their accounts and ordering.  With the launch of the new website, we are better able to communicate with our customers."

"Also in the first quarter, Protandim® was featured on The Today Show, and in a Healing Quest program on PBS stations," continued Mr. Onody.  "Beginning in our second quarter, Protandim® will be sold in Super Supplements and Vitamin Cottage stores.  Protandim® was again featured on The Today Show."

"We are especially pleased with the progress we have made in our discussions with the SEC Staff on our registration filing.  While we cannot predict a final approval date, we are striving to conclude this matter in the very near future," concluded Mr. Onody.

Questions regarding the operational results of the Company will be addressed at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held November 21, 2006 at the offices of The Chemins Company, Inc., 1835 East Cheyenne Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906.  Tours of the manufacturing facility will also be available to shareholders.
