PharmStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PHAR), a U.S. drug developer, manufacturer and marketer of the FDA-approved, Over-the-Counter (OTC) liquid pain reliever AQUAPRIN™, announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle to purchase a 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility located on three (3) acres near a pharmaceutical industrial park in Wilson, NC. As previously announced, the Company put together an evaluation team to determine the feasibility of moving to Wilson, and had entered negotiations to produce an equitable agreement as of last week.

The new facility is located near other pharmaceutical companies, and has a built in support system for the industry. PharmStar CEO Howard Phykitt stated, "I am very pleased with the speed in which we were able to reach this agreement, which was due to careful planning by the evaluation team. We believe this move can facilitate getting AQUAPRIN™ to market more quickly."

Mr. Phykitt is no stranger to Wilson and is excited at the prospects of moving into the new facility. "I have a history in Wilson. I know the town, the people and the local economy. It doesn't get much better for pharmaceutical companies such as ours," he added.
