                    Clarification of Patent Entitlement Case

Stanelco finds it necessary to clarify certain information contained within one
of BioProgress' press releases in connection with the litigation between the two
companies.


Stanelco wishes to clarify that the Court has not ordered that Stanelco has to
pay damages to BioProgress. No final Order will be made until Stanelco's
application to admit further evidence, which may result in a reconsideration of
certain of the Judge's findings, has been determined. All the Court has
determined to date are the principles of a mechanism through which any damages
will be assessed, if a final Order for damages is ultimately made.


It is Stanelco's firm position that no damages, or at worst, minimal damages,
will ultimately be found to be payable to BioProgress.
