  MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, Jan 31 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 icefloe Technologies Inc. ("icefloe") (TSX VENTURE: ICY) today announced
that it has filed an assignment in bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act.

    The company is unable to meet its ongoing obligations, and specifically
was unable to make a January 24, 2008 interest payment due to its secured
lenders. The secured lenders have exercised their right to of enforcement
and icefloe was today served with a Notice of intention to enforce
security pursuant to s.244 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

    Icefloe, with the consent and agreement of the secured lenders, has
appointed BDO Dunwoody to act as Trustee in Bankruptcy.

    J. Robert Furse, icefloe's Chairman of the Board, commented "The company
has been aggressively pursuing all recapitalization options, including
the sale of the company, as announced in April, 2007. Regrettably we have
been unsuccessful in finding a solution to the company's ongoing working
capital requirements."

    Wayne Newson icefloe's President and CEO added "Our Company's success is
dependent on our ability to develop and commercialize proprietary heat
exchange technologies for beverages. Over the last 7 years the company
has acquired or developed a number of new processes and technologies, and
has invested substantially in Research and Development and patent
filings. Our ability to commercialize these new technologies has been
below expectations and, as a result, there are insufficient earnings to
cover current and long term obligations."
