Hydron Technologies, Inc. (NASD OTC Bulletin Board: HTEC.OB) announced today
that the Company has acquired Clinical Results, Inc. (CRI), a St. Petersburg,
Florida based company. CRI is a privately held product development laboratory
and contract manufacturer of cosmeceutical and other personal care products.
CRI's clients range from mass market retailers to marketers of certain health
food store brands, and marketers of high end brands such as Hydron.
While
CRI will continue providing contract services for its
customer base, Hydron Technologies will benefit from lower manufacturing
costs,
and be better positioned to expand the sale of its skin care treatments beyond
its historical direct response TV and catalog operations by utilizing CRI's
broker network.
Under
the terms of the agreement, Hydron Technologies will acquire
all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of CRI in consideration of
an
aggregate of two million newly-issued shares of the Company, in a transaction
exempt from registration under the securities laws. Such shares will be subject
to transfer restrictions unless registered under federal and applicable state
securities laws or sold in a transaction exempt from registration. Additionally,
Hydron will restructure both its management and its Board of Directors. David
Pollock, currently President of CRI, will become Chief Executive Officer
of the
Company, while remaining President of CRI, and will join Hydron's Board,
replacing Joshua Rochlin who resigned from the Board on March 31, 2005. Dr.
Douglas Reitz, CRI's co-owner, will become Executive Vice President of Hydron.
Terrence McGrath will remain Chief Operating Officer, and Richard Banakus
will
retain the titles of Interim President and Chairman of the Board, of the
Company.
"Hydron
Technologies is very pleased to have Mr. Pollock bring to
the Company 15 years of experience", said Interim President Richard Banakus, who
noted, "While CRI is an early stage manufacturing company, its management team
contributes an extensive background in and knowledge of the skin care
industry."
CRI
had previously licensed certain Hydron® brands and formula
technologies. "Hydron's patented technologies are extremely innovative", said
Mr. Pollock. "With the proper exposure and positioning, I feel that we can
significantly advance skin care product development, especially in such areas
as
emulsion technology, enhancing ingredient delivery and efficacy. I am extremely
excited about the synergistic possibilities created by fully combining CRI
with
Hydron."

Technologies, Inc. markets skin care products through
Hydron's direct-to-consumer catalog and the internet at www.Hydron.com. Catalogs
