Operations Review:
Kerry Frey, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioForce,
said, "The news continues to be good from an operations
perspective. During the third quarter we entered into scientific
collaboration agreements with three major universities, including
the previously announced relationship with UAlbany Nano College,
and agreements with Arizona State University and Iowa State
University. In addition, yesterday's announcement of our scientific
collaboration agreement with University Pierre & Marie Curie in
Paris continues the trend of significant research institutions
lining up to participate with us in breakthrough projects in areas
such as stem cell research, neural regeneration and live cell
assays. Under these collaboration agreements we will be working
closely with biologists at the academic institutions to develop new
applications for our Nano eNabler(TM) and Cyto eNabler(TM)
systems.
"From a financing perspective, we announced in September that
funding for our ViriChip(TM) pathogen detection system was included
in the Senate version of the 2009 Department of Defense
Appropriations Bill. I am delighted to announce that the final 2009
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, signed by President Bush
on September 30, 2008, included $1,600,000 of funding for this
project. We are pleased that we will have the opportunity to move
forward in 2009 with this exciting scientific application based
upon the capabilities of our Nano eNabler(TM) molecular
printer.
"We sold three Nano eNabler systems in the third quarter, with
those sales generating the majority of our revenues for the
quarter. One of those sales was to our distributor in Australia,
their first order for a Nano eNabler system. In addition, our
revenue growth is aided by the record demand for our ProCleaner(TM)
sterilization instrument that we have experienced thus far in
2008."
Greg Brown, BioForce's Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, commented, "Our results for the third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were records in terms of
revenues, gross profit and net income. We continue to maintain
tight cost controls, and remain intent on reaching profitability.
In addition to the activities mentioned by Kerry, our third quarter
licensing transaction with Aspera Corp. will play a significant
part in accelerating our path to profitability via reduced internal
costs of research and development.
"We were pleased to complete a $300,000 convertible debt
financing during the third quarter with our largest shareholder,
FCPR SGAM AI Biotechnology Fund. Their support from both a
financial and business perspective is appreciated. We continue to
require additional financing in order to support our operations
until such time as we have reached the breakeven point. There are
multiple parties with whom we are working towards the goal of
obtaining sufficient financing to continue operations and press on
towards profitability, growth in the adoption of our products
within the bio-nanotechnology community, and the development of
additional applications of our technology."
