Biophan Technologies Files 10-QSB for First Quarter of Fiscal 2005; Company Discloses Negotiations for Potential Strategic Relationships and Licensing Agreements.ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). BB: BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a leading developer of next-generation biomedical technology Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. , today announced the filing of the Company's 10-QSB for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. "Our progress over the last quarter has been significant," stated Michael Weiner Michael Weiner can refer to:
SBI Subsidiary Body for Implementation SBI State Bank of India SBI Secure Border Initiative SBI Small Business Institute SBI Stockholm Brain Institute SBI Serious Bacterial Infection SBI Society of Breast Imaging financing involves negotiations with several biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. device and pharmaceutical companies, which may involve a combination of R&D development and/or licensing payments, as well as a strategic investment in equity in our company. Such an investment, should it occur, may resolve, in whole or in part, our capital requirements Capital requirements Financing required for the operation of a business, composed of long-term and working capital plus fixed assets. for listing on a major stock exchange, as well as providing us with working capital to continue our research, and possible milestone payments. As a result, we intend to be prudent in our exercise of the SBI line, even with its very attractive fixed price aspects'." Mr. Weiner also noted, "The Company is very pleased with the additional patents which were noted in our release of July 7, 2004, disclosing that Biophan now owns or has an exclusive license to a total of 74 patents, of which 14 are issued, 6 are allowed, and 54 are pending. Our stockholders should be pleased to know that Biophan, in its aggressive commitment to stockholder growth, continues to explore significant opportunities through multiple markets with multiple products. In addition, Biophan continues to develop relationships and negotiate strategic alliances with multiple, substantial parties." Mr. Weiner concluded by noting, "In addition to the above positive developments, in this last quarter Biophan also acquired an interest in a patented biothermal battery technology and distribution rights for a unique MRI-safe ceramic motor. Both have been extremely well received and offer exciting potential upside for Biophan, its strategic partners, customers, and stockholders." On June 3, 2004, Biophan acquired a 51% interest in TE Bio LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , a company developing an implantable biothermal battery using body heat gradients to power medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and drug pumps. The biothermal battery technology is based on a patented innovation in the utilization of thermoelectric ther·mo·e·lec·tric also ther·mo·e·lec·tri·cal adj. Characteristic of, resulting from, or using electrical phenomena occurring in conjunction with a flow of heat. materials, using nanoscale-based, thin-film materials to convert thermal energy thermal energy Internal energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium (see thermodynamics) by virtue of its temperature. A hot body has more thermal energy than a similar cold body, but a large tub of cold water may have more thermal energy than a cup of boiling produced naturally by the human body into electrical energy. The resulting power can be used to "trickle charge" batteries for medium-power devices such as defibrillators, or directly power low-energy devices like pacemakers. It is enabled by nanotechnology which provides the ability to put thousands and thousands of small semi-conductor nodes that convert heat to electricity in a space about the size of one or two postage stamps. Biophan presented the technology at the NASPE NASPE National Association for Sport and Physical Education NASPE North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology NASPE National Association of State Personnel Executives Heart Rhythm Society meeting in San Francisco earlier this year and received substantial industry interest from major device manufacturers. The Company has recruited several consultants experienced in this technology to assist in development. Also, on June 4, 2004, Biophan announced that it had acquired from New Scale Technologies, Inc. the exclusive worldwide distribution rights for the medical market, including the multi-billion dollar drug delivery market, for New Scale's ceramic "SQUIGGLE See tilde. (TM) motor." Developed to meet the growing demand for high precision, low cost actuation devices, the motor is currently on the market generating revenues and is available for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and integration today. The motor uses no metal wire windings (one of the primary causes of image interference under MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. ), is capable of both linear and rotational movement, and can move forward and backwards several inches at nanometer increments, thereby providing a controllable drug release environment. Most recently, at the annual stockholders' meeting on July 13, 2004, the Company disclosed additional details of its controllable drug eluting technology, enabled by its nanomagnetic particle technology. Presentations from the annual meeting can be viewed at http://www.biophan.com/2004.php. About Biophan Technologies Biophan Technologies develops and markets cutting-edge technologies designed to make biomedical devices safe and compatible with magnetic resonance imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. (MRI) equipment. The Company develops enabling technologies for implanted medical systems such as pacemakers, and interventional surgical devices such as catheters and guidewires, as well as stents and other implants that can be safely and effectively imaged under MRI. The technology is also being used to create enhanced MRI contrast agents. Committed to growth through innovation and developmental leadership, Biophan and its licensors have fourteen issued U.S. patents and over sixty patents pending, in areas including nanotechnology (nanomagnetic particle coatings), radio frequency filters, polymer composites, biothermal batteries, and photonics. Biophan's technology will help realize its goal of one day making all biomedical devices capable of safely and successfully working with MRI. For more information, please visit www.biophan.com.
