News for 'SFIO' - (Smokefree Continues to Create Conditions Aiding in Global Lock Removal)


LAS VEGAS, Jul 27, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Through Company
President, George Roth, Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SFIO) announced
today that the Company has been investigating every available avenue to cause
the lifting of the DTC Global Lock imposed on "All Participants, Depository
Facilities and Pledgee Banks" (Notice# B1017-11 Dated: July 1, 2011).

"This order was not directed at the Company, only to the brokerage community.
According to the DTC website (www.dtcc.com), the purpose of the lock is to
protect the integrity of the pool of any shares held by the DTC in their
depository for their clearing transactions in the trading systems. In view of
the extraordinary trading of June 30th and July 1st in SFIO shares, where well
over half of the public float changed hands in two days in a huge volume of
transactions, it appeared that certain large brokers and individuals were buying
and selling naked.

The DTC dealt with this by imposing a "Global Lock" where brokers MUST match up
buys with sell orders that they already have on hand, and cannot execute orders
without matching them up. Some shareholders may have found that under these
circumstances they could not buy any SFIO shares; their brokers did not have any
legitimate shares to sell and could not sell short as is the custom, then going
to other brokers to buy and cover, and they may have been desperately seeking
shares to cover their own short positions. As you have seen from the past few
weeks, with the Global Lock in place, the market has settled down, with domestic
and foreign brokers finding shares to cover. The Company has refrained from
making any announcements during this time that anyone could use to unduly
influence an orderly market.

Eventually the DTC will be satisfied they are not holding any "phantom" shares
created by shorters, and we expect the DTC order will be lifted when they are
convinced an orderly market will resume and investors will be protected, but
only after further actions and publications are soon taken by the Justice
Department and the SEC regarding the disposition of charges against our former
CEO.

The Company is continuing to prepare new information statements and accounting
reports to update the OTCMarkets and provide transparency to investors, and we
hope the investing public can understand the difficulty we are faced with in
view of the unresolved charges against our former CEO. Obviously we cannot make
any comment about that matter at this time, but reserve the right to set the
record straight in our disclosure filings and reports with the OTCMarkets. The
company denies any wrongdoing by the Company itself; only the former CEO is
charged with performing an unauthorized and unlawful act in 2009.

Meanwhile, the Company is conducting business as usual in extending its
distribution network and creating new websites. Nominees to the new Board of
Advisors are considering their possible acceptance and will be announced
shortly."
