Biomagnetics Announces Integrated Optical Biosensor Delivery Timetable
Company on Accelerated Timetable for Summer 2010 Delivery of Handheld Optical Sensor for Tuberculosis and Cholera Detection with Malaria Detection Capability to Follow
Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. (OTC: BMGP) a developer of revolutionary diagnostic systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis and malaria detection, today announced its accelerated timetable for delivery of the world's first handheld, integrated optical biosensor. Through joint development efforts with its world-class research laboratory and engineering partners, Biomagnetics Diagnostics now plans to deliver a fully functioning, handheld diagnostic device capable of tuberculosis and cholera detection during the summer of 2010.
Biomagnetics will be working directly with its research laboratory partner to develop an additional bench top prototype unit that will be used as a platform for test cartridge assay development. This bench top prototype should be completed within 90 days of signing of final development contract. Over the subsequent 90 days this prototype will be used at the research laboratory to develop the assays for both tuberculosis and cholera pathogen detection. Biomagnetics currently plans to have fully functioning tuberculosis and cholera pathogen detection capabilities available for commercial sale at the end of this 180-day period.
Over the coming weeks, Biomagnetics management and personnel from the research laboratory partner will be meeting with both the National Tuberculosis Institute and the National Malaria Research Institute units of the Health Ministry of India. The purpose of these meetings is to set up collaborations in development of the malaria specific testing assay and to organize clinical trials for both Tuberculosis and Malaria.
“We are very pleased to announce that we have made significant progress toward organizing our research, engineering and clinical trial partnerships in order to accelerate the timeframe for delivery of the world's first commercially available integrated optical biosensor,” commented Clayton Hardman, CEO of Biomagnetics Diagnostics, Corp. “We believe the availability of this type of diagnostic tool will be instrumental in significantly lowering the costs associated with malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, and HIV/AIDS detection. With this device, personnel with only minimal amounts of training will be able to screen patients in the field for a variety of diseases. Whereas currently available diagnostics technologies and techniques often take days or weeks to produce results, integrated optical biosensors used in the field will be able to deliver results of similar or superior quality in a matter of only minutes and at only a fraction of the current cost.”
Concurrent with the above developmental efforts, Biomagnetics will be working directly with its engineering partner to fully develop the handheld integrated optical biosensor units. This developmental effort is also expected to be completed within 180 days.
Mr. Hardman continued, “While the most important aspect of our developmental and commercialization effort is to save lives and alleviate some of the suffering that takes place among those afflicted with malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and cholera, we wish to meet these objectives while still offering our shareholders significant returns on their invested capital. We believe a fully functioning, simple to use, field deployable, integrated optical biosensor device capable of very rapid and low cost detection of these pathogens and diseases is worth a significant amount to our shareholders. Therefore, we strongly believe our shares are significantly undervalued relative to the strong advancements we have made over the past few months with our research laboratory partner and the very real prospect of delivery of such a revolutionary device over the next 180 day period.”
The Company recently announced it had finalized a “Patent License Agreement with Los Alamos National Security.” Under the agreement, Biomagnetics will have access to the Triggered Optical Biosensor and Integrated Optical Biosensor System (IBOS) technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The 2,400 Euro Bearer Bonds were issued by a major European Bank, have a face value of 1,000,000 Euros each and have accumulated interest at 5.5% from the issuance date.
Bearer Bonds of this denomination and amount are typically reserved solely for and held only by banks and large financial institutions.

Del Global Technologies Reports Fiscal 2010 Second Quarter Financial Results
Del Global Technologies Corp. (OTCBB: DGTC) (“Del Global” or “the Company”) announced financial results for its fiscal 2010 second quarter and six months ended January 30, 2010.
Highlights
* FY 2010 second quarter sales from continuing operations were $18.1 million, up 15% from the prior year period.
* FY 2010 second quarter net income from continuing operations improved to $1.2 million, or $ .05 per share.
* Del Medical Imaging business was sold on November 24, 2009.
John J. Quicke, Del Global’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented “In spite of a continuing sluggish economy, we are pleased with the sales and earnings for the quarter from our Medical and Power businesses. Both of these businesses continue to pursue operating improvements through lean manufacturing initiatives. In addition, our effort to complete the transition of the Del Medical business to a new owner and wind down our investment is proceeding better than we planned. We remain cautious about the international economic recovery and its impact on our Medical business.”
FY 2010 2nd QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated net sales of $18.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 reflect an increase of $2.4 million or 15.1% from fiscal 2009 second quarter net sales of $15.7 million due to increased sales in our Medical Systems Group in fiscal 2010. The Medical Systems Group’s second quarter fiscal 2010 sales of $14.9 million were $2.5 million or 19.6% higher than the prior year’s second quarter with increases primarily due to increased international customer orders. Sales at the Power Conversion Group during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were $3.1 million, comparable to sales in the prior year period.
Consolidated gross margin as a percent of sales was 26.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to 28.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. For the Medical Systems Group, the gross margin of 24.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was lower than the gross margin of 25.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the Power Conversion Group’s gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was 37.4%, versus 38.0% in the prior year second quarter, reflecting changes in the product mix for the period.
Total operating expenses decreased $2.5 million to $2.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $5.4 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million litigation settlement for a legal settlement with a former employee during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of $0.5 million were comparable to the same period in the prior year.
The total operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.0 million compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million in the comparable prior year period. Operating income at the Medical Systems Group for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $1.6 million compared with operating income of $1.2 million in the same period of the prior year. The Power Conversion Group generated operating income of $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease over the comparable prior year period of $0.6 million. Unallocated corporate expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $0.2 million compared to $2.8 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Fiscal 2009 unallocated corporate expenses included $2.5 million in litigation settlement costs.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, consolidated net income was $1.2 million or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.08, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On November 24, 2009, the Company consummated the sale of certain assets and product lines of its Del Medical Imaging Corp. wholly-owned subsidiary (“DMI”), to an affiliate of U.M.G. Inc. (“UMG” or “Acquiror”). This business represented the US imaging business and was part of the Company’s Medical Systems Group. This decision does not include or impact the operations of the Company’s Villa subsidiary, which will make up the whole of the Medical Systems Group going forward.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Acquiror (i) assumed all of the Company’s and DMI’s post-closing obligations in connection with the Company’s lease of its facilities in Roselle, Illinois, (the Company remains secondarily liable on the lease obligation), (ii) accepted DMI’s inventory related to the DMI business on a consignment basis, (iii) hired select DMI employees, (iv) indemnified the Company for potential employee severance obligations and (v) assumed other liabilities of the business, including outstanding warranty obligations.
The discontinued operations results in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 reflects a $0.3 million loss from operations on sales of $1.9 million and $0.3 million favorable adjustment to the amount expected to be realized from the assets sold. The discontinued operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 reported a net loss from operations of $0.1 million on sales of $9.1 million.
BACKLOG
The consolidated backlog at January 31, 2010 was $12.3 million compared to the backlog at August 1, 2009 of approximately $10.6 million. The Medical System segment’s backlog was approximately the same as at August 1, 2009. The backlog in the Power Conversion Group of $6.2 million reflects an increase of $1.7 million from levels at the beginning of the fiscal year. Customer quote activity for the Power business has been very strong. Substantially all of the backlog should result in shipments within the next 12 to 15 months.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Del Global’s balance sheet at January 30, 2010 reflected working capital of $19.8 million, which included $5.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. In the aggregate, Del Global had approximately $11.5 million of borrowing availability under its Italian revolving credit facilities.

XTend Medical Corporation Files Complaint to Secure Assets of the BioHarp From U & I Bio-Tech Korea and California and Mr. Sam Lee
XTend Medical (OTC: XMDC), a company that specializes in delivering life-changing medical technology to healthcare organizations globally, announced that the company has filed legal action against U & I Bio-Tech, Korea and California, as well as Mr. Sam Lee personally, for their failure to deliver all BioHarp-related assets acquired pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement signed on December 8, 2009. The case, captioned as XTend Medical Corp. v. Lee, was filed on Monday, March 8, 2010 and is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California as Case No, 2:10-CV-01681 DMG (JEMx).
The company released the following statement regarding this matter: "Unfortunately, XTend Medical Corporation has been forced to file a complaint against Mr. Sam Lee, U & I Bio-Tech, Korea, and U & I Bio-Tech, California for non-delivery of the BioHarp assets, as well as numerous actions and inaction that have caused the company significant injury. XTend has engaged Knobbe, Martens, Olson, and Bear, LLP, an intellectual property law firm, to handle our litigation."
On December 8th, 2009, XTend Medical signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with U & I Bio-Tech, Korea, U & I Bio-Tech, California, and Mr. Sam Lee to acquire the entire BioHarp assets to include all patents, software, hardware, intellectual property, marketing materials, and, in effect, everything that has to do with the BioHarp medical device. The company paid for the assets in an all stock purchase in the amount of 541,853,832 common shares of which 80% came from personal holdings of current management. Since that time, Mr. Lee has failed to deliver all of the assets outlined in the APA, and he has severely hampered XTend Medical in moving its business model forward. On numerous occasions, XTend's corporate counsel, Mr. Carl Duncan, has sent demand letters to Mr. Lee through his counsel, requesting delivery of the entire BioHarp assets, including proper working models, marketing materials, manufacturing progress, and all other pertinent information so XTend can begin the sales and marketing process of the BioHarp globally. These demand letters have been ignored by Mr. Lee for the most part. While Mr. Lee did provide a portion of the assets, he has materially failed to deliver the entire assets, including assigning the intellectual property to the company, as he promised to do in the APA. The company has tried now for over 90 days to resolve this matter amicably, but Mr. Lee has not fulfilled his obligations. Therefore, XTend has filed this Complaint in order to achieve full compliance with the asset delivery and to insure that it takes appropriate steps to protect shareholders and to secure the future of the company.
Company management wishes to inform its shareholders that it was advised by the company's corporate and securities counsel to remain silent while multiple attempts (ultimately unsuccessful) were made to secure the BioHarp assets from Mr. Lee and U & I, Korea and California. This silence may have caused shareholders to question the viability of the company. In any event, these developments have caused the company to be in a holding pattern. Notwithstanding this development, the company is continuing to move forward. Management believes it now has possession of the schematics necessary to manufacture the device and to recreate the operating software. The company has received several older, non-working versions of the BioHarp that can assist in the molding and further development of the BioHarp. Management will begin to work with qualified engineers, both hardware and software, so it can improve the device and software in order to reach the full potential of the BioHarp business model.
The company's current goal is to identify a manufacturing partner, presumably in the U.S. and hopefully with an established medical device manufacturing company that can expedite a newer, improved device that it can bring BioHarp to market as soon as possible. Marketing materials, the website, and sales literature will now have to be recreated from scratch. While this is a setback in the company's current timeline, management is determined to make the BioHarp business model succeed and to bring to market a more robust device that can clearly assist the medical community in diagnosing harmful diseases. Management believes these events will not stand in the way of the company's progress, and it will overcome the present adversity and make XTend Medical a powerhouse in the medical community.
Mr. Paul D. Lisenby, CEO of XTend Medical, released the following statement, "Regrettably, the company has been forced into a situation where my duties as CEO have been relegated to insure the assets purchased on December 8, 2009 are fully delivered into the company's possession and control as per our Asset Purchase Agreement signed and agreed upon by all parties involved. My resolve to insure the company moves forward has never wavered. While these events have been hard on Mr. Friedman and me, we will not rest until the BioHarp is in the marketplace and functioning the way we know this device can. It is Mr. Friedman's and my view that the company will endure, and our loyal shareholders will be proud to be a part of something that will change the landscape of medical diagnosis in the healthcare arena. We are progressing as fast as possible given the non-action by the other parties and we will expedite as humanly possible the development of the BioHarp and gain sales as soon as feasible given the current circumstances. We will continue to update our shareholders as our progress continues."
