Business Wire, August 20, 2008

PARAMUS, N.J. -- NuVim, Inc. (OTCBB:NUVM), a leading provider of nutritional, refrigerated and shelf-stable, ready-to-drink beverages and powder mixes announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent to merge with Innovative Technologies Corporation of America. The combined businesses will have annual gross revenues of approximately $5 million. ITCA brings with it the brands "Glacial Milk([R])" and "Carb Crusher([R])". In addition, NuVim([R]) will obtain sales and distribution rights to the brand "Hair of the Dog([R])" for worldwide sales to the US military, foodservice establishments, beer and wine distributors, and colleges and universities. ITCA's owners will receive $2.3 million in cash and 4,250,000 shares of restricted common stock in the tax free reorganization. NuVim([R]) will issue debt to finance the cash portion of the merger and future combined operations.

Steven Smith, president of ITCA and Richard Kundrat CEO of NuVim, Inc. said, "The merged company, which will retain the NuVim([R]) name, will distribute four brands now in distinct distribution channels. The combined selling organizations will offer many opportunities for cross introduction." "Steve Smith's services during the next year will assist in our goal to improve both short term and long term revenue and net profit growth," Kundrat continued. "The potential of synergistic sales growth and increased operating efficiencies supports a forecast of positive cash flow for 2009."
