Biophan reports first quarter 2008 results

PITTSFORD, NY | Posted on July 17th, 2008

During the quarter ended May 30, 2008, the Company continued it's commitment to invest in the Myotech Circulatory Support System (CSS) and entered into the next stage of development, with a sharpened focus on the acute resuscitation market segment, where there is a large patient population not adequately served by existing technologies. In addition, Myotech secured a Memorandum of Understanding with PPA Technologies in Germany, a potential strategic partner for the development of the Myotech Circulatory Support System, which Biophan expects to be approved for sale in the US, in 24-30 months.

Biophan also expanded its intellectual property through the acquisition of the patent portfolio from Nanoset, LLC, which provides broad coverage on novel medical uses of nanomagnetic materials. And, the Company saw the issuance of two new patents expanding coverage of the biothermal power supply and providing coverage for an optical MRI catheter system, which is a continuation of its core strategy of pursuing grants and strategic partnerships for the development of its earlier stage technologies.

The Company ended the quarter with $5.7 million in cash, and recognized revenue from license fees and testing and consulting services of $0.22 million.
