Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, following the first step of the Merger, all officers and directors of Integrated Media will resign their posts immediately. Rene’ A. Schena, President, Chief Executive Officer of TeleChem will be appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Integrated Media, Todd J. Martinsky will be appointed a Director and Vice President, Mark Schena, Ph.D. will be appointed Director Chief Technology Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, and Paul Haje will be appointed Director of Public Relations.  William L. Sklar, the sole officer and director of Integrated Media will resign from these positions with the parent company upon the appointment of the new officers and directors.  Ms. Schena, Messrs. Martinsky, Schena and Haje will not begin their terms as officers and additional directors until after the expiration of the ten day period beginning on the later of the date of the filing of this Information Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 14f-1 or the date of mailing of this Information Statement to Integrated Media’s shareholders and completion of the first step of the Merger.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

On February 5, 2008 Integrated Media, TeleChem and the TeleChem Shareholders entered into the Merger Agreement followed by an amendment effective February 11, 2008 pursuant to which Integrated Media will, in two steps, acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interest of TeleChem.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in two steps.  The first step will be taken on or about February 21, 2008 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of preferred stock that is convertible upon completion of the second step of the Merger into 35,000,000 shares (a majority) of the common stock to the TeleChem Shareholders in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of TeleChem.  At that time, the parent company will adopt the assumed name ArrayIt Company.  The second step will be completed after: (i) reincorporation to Nevada and governance by the Nevada Articles, (ii) completion of the reverse split of the outstanding Integrated Media common stock, (iii) conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, (iv) conversion of all outstanding notes, bonds and debentures; and (v) change of the corporate name to ArrayIt Corporation .  After completion of the first step of the Merger, TeleChem will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrated Media and the present TeleChem Shareholders will own approximately 73.5% of the outstanding equity interest and voting rights of the parent company.  Neither the first or second step of the Merger will require approval of shareholders of Integrated Media.

Upon completion of the “reverse-split” and reincorporation to the State of Nevada and adoption of the Nevada Articles of Incorporation that has been authorized by the board of directors and majority shareholders of Integrated Media, there will be approximately 47,637,860 outstanding common shares.  Approximately 35,000,000 common shares (73.5%) will be held by the present TeleChem Shareholders and approximately 11,537,860 common shares (24.20%) will be held by the present Integrated Media shareholders.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that immediately following the first step of the acquisition, Rene’ A. Schena, President and Chief Executive Officer of TeleChem will be appointed President, CEO and a director of Integrated Media.  William L. Sklar will resign from these positions with the parent company upon Ms. Schena’s appointment.  Ms. Schena intends to appoint Todd J. Martinsky, Mark Schena, Ph.D, and Paul Haje as officers and additional directors.  Ms. Schena, Messrs. Martinsky, Schena and Haje will serve until their respective successors are elected and qualified.
 

PROPOSED CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

Giving effect to the merger and replacement of the officer and director of Integrated Media by the board of directors of TeleChem, and the issuance of Integrated Media preferred stock to the TeleChem Shareholders:
 

    · the Shareholders of TeleChem will own a majority of the outstanding voting stock of Integrated Media;

    · Ms. Schena, Messrs. Martinsky and Schena will be the only directors of Integrated Media.

    · Integrated Media will change its name to Arrayit Corporation.
 
As a result of the majority voting stock ownership of the TeleChem Shareholders and director status, upon completion of the merger, Ms. Schena, Messrs. Martinsky and Schena will be in control of the business and affairs of Integrated Media.

Giving effect to the “reverse-split” and the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation approved by the shareholders of Integrated Media, upon completion of the Merger, there will be approximately 47,637,860 outstanding common shares and 6,250,000 will be reserved for issuance for a total of 53,887,860 shares.  Approximately 35,000,000 common shares (64.35%) will be held by the present TeleChem Shareholders and approximately 11,537,860 common shares (21.41%) will be held by the present Integrated Media shareholders.
 
TELECHEM
 
TeleChem is a privately-held company with diversified business activities in the life sciences, chemical trading and disease diagnostics areas. It was founded in 1993 by Rene Schena and Todd Martinsky as a chemical import and export trading company.  TeleChem’s chemicals division provides customers with the raw materials required for plastics, water soluble fertilizers, and alternative fuels.  TeleChem entered the biotechnology sector with the creation of the ArrayIt® Life Sciences Division in 1996.  Because of the public interest in the Human Genome Project and microarray technology, TeleChem focused on microarray products and services for the research, pharmaceutical and diagnostics markets.  TeleChem’s ArrayIt® Division currently provides its patented microarray platform (US 6,101,946) to more than 3,000 installations serving an estimated 10,000 laboratories, making it the most widely used microarray technology in the world.  Supporting instruments, kits, reagents, and hardware complete the ArrayIt® line of more than 400 products making up what management believes is a universal microarray platform for any type of biomolecule.
 
During the year 2001, the Diagnostics Division was started in order to leverage the patented (6,913,879) multi-patient technology for genetic screening and testing.  This next generation microarray format allows clinical laboratories to examine tens of thousands of patients on a single microarray, providing much more cost-effective gene information for population-wide diagnostics than traditional “single patient” microarrays.  The company is currently developing or has developed tests for many major human diseases including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and cancer.  ArrayIt intends to compete in the $20 billion molecular diagnostics arena.
 
The TeleChem customer base includes major universities, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, agricultural and chemical companies, government agencies, national research foundations and private sector enterprises around the world.  The company website receives more than 1,000,000 hits per month and the Shopping Cart allows on-line product ordering 24 hours a day. The website makes available the Electronic Library free-of-charge to the tens of thousands of researchers worldwide who wish to keep pace with the microarray literature. TeleChem scientists were featured on NOVA’s television show “Cracking the Code of Life” in 2001.  The company received the Rising Star Award from the City of Sunnyvale in 2002 and 2003, the Silicon Valley Top 50 Award from the San Jose Business Journal in 2003, and consecutive selection to the Inc. 500 List in 2002 and 2003 by Inc. magazine.
 
TeleChem’s principal office is in Sunnyvale, California.  TeleChem presently has eight employees.
