                            STOCKHOLDER RESOLUTION #1

              Ratification of Private Placement of Preferred Stock,
                   Warrants and Additional Investment Rights

         In April 2004, we completed a private placement of securities with
Alexandra Global Master Fund Ltd., Takeley Investments Limited and IIG Equity
Opportunities Fund Ltd., in which we sold an aggregate of 750 shares of Series B
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 375,000 shares
of common stock, for a purchase price of $7,500,000. The investors were also
granted additional investment rights for an eighteen-month period to purchase
375 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase 187,500 shares of common stock. The aggregate exercise price for the
additional investment rights is $3,750,000.

         Pursuant to Section 713(a) of the Company Guide of the American Stock
Exchange, stockholder approval is required for a transaction which may result in
the issuance by us of 20% or more of our outstanding common stock on the date of
issuance of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at a price per
share less than the greater of the book value or the market value of the common

                                       3


stock. The Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock contemplates stockholder approval for the
issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Series
B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, the warrants and the additional
investment rights in accordance with Section 713(a) of the Company Guide of the
American Stock Exchange, prior to the time that the sum of the aggregate number
of the shares of common stock actually issued upon exercise or conversion of or
otherwise pursuant to the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, the
warrants and the additional investment rights plus the aggregate number of the
shares of common stock that remain issuable upon exercise or conversion of or
otherwise pursuant to the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, the
warrants and the additional investment rights at the then effective conversion
price, represents more than 19.99% of the outstanding common stock on the date
of issuance of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (i.e.,
2,123,116 shares of common stock). Because the aggregate number of shares of
common stock issued and issuable upon conversion of the Series B Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock, the warrants and the additional investment rights
(based on the current conversion and exercise prices) exceeds 2,123,116 shares
of the common stock, we are required to obtain stockholder approval of the
issuance of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and the common
stock issued and issuable upon conversion of the Series B Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock, the warrants and the additional investment rights in accordance
with Section 713(a) of the Company Guide of the American Stock Exchange.

         Accordingly, our Board of Directors has sought and obtained from our
stockholders approval of our issuance of the Series B Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock and the common stock issued and issuable in connection with the
conversion or exercise of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock,
the warrants and the additional investment rights in accordance with Section
713(a) of the Company Guide of the American Stock Exchange. There is no
guarantee that the holders of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock, the warrants and the additional investment rights will convert or
exercise their securities in the future. The likelihood that the holders of the
Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock will convert or exercise
securities also depends on the then current trading price of the common stock.
To date, two of the private placement investors have converted an aggregate of
50 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock.
None of the private placement investors have exercised any warrants or
additional investment rights. At this time, we have not received an indication
from the private placement investors that they intend to convert their remaining
securities at any particular time in the future.


                            STOCKHOLDER RESOLUTION #2

         Ratification of Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants

         In May 2004, we completed a private placement of securities with Damon
DeSantis, in which we sold 500,000 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of common stock, for a purchase price of $5,000,000.

         The private placement of securities with Damon DeSantis was a separate
transaction from the private placement with the three other investors described
above, and the number of shares of common stock that have been issued and remain
issuable to Mr. DeSantis upon exercise of the warrants does not represent more
than 19.99% of the outstanding common stock on the date of the private
placement. Stockholder approval for this transaction is therefore not required
pursuant to Section 713(a) of the Company Guide of the American Stock Exchange.
However, we decided to obtain such approval in the event that the private
placement with Mr. DeSantis was deemed to be part of the same transaction as the
private placement with the other three investors described above.

                                       4


                       BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATIONS
                            AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVALS

         On April 18, 2004 and April 30, 2004, respectively, our board of
directors considered and unanimously approved each of the two actions described
in this Information Statement. The affirmative consent of the holders of a
majority of Integrated BioPharma's issued and outstanding shares of common stock
was required to ratify each of the actions described in this Information
Statement in the absence of a meeting of stockholders. The requisite stockholder
ratification of each of the actions described in this Information Statement was
obtained by the execution of written consents in favor of such actions by the
holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock without the need
to solicit votes, allowing Integrated BioPharma to take the proposed actions on
or about September 22, 2004.

         The information contained in this Information Statement constitutes the
only notice any stockholder will be provided.
